Advance ticket sales will be handled by fifty volunteers from each of the four classes plus additional volunteers from the sophomore class. Tickets will be available on or about February 20. Publicity for the affair will be extended to all regional colleges and most of the larger colleges throughout Pennsylvania and New York. Many area radio stations have indicated their willingness to cooperate and additional publicity will be available through local newspapers. The Dave Brubeck orchestra has appeared at many major colleges throughout the United States and also at Carnegie Hall in New York. They toured Europe under the sponsorship of the State Department and have also released fifteen record albums. Featured with the Brubeck group will be Paul Desmond, alto saxophone; Joe Morello, drums; and Gene Wright, bass.

General chairman Richard Rees has announced the following committee chairmen: Betty Kraft, publicity; Rachel Altavilla, band; Elva Chernow, tickets; Harry Collier, refreshments. Publicity for this dance is being spread throughout the r e g i o n through the facilities of local radio and television stations and newspapers. It will be the first dance of the second semester and a large crowd is expected. The junior class recently conducted a book sale and is contemplating a dinner-dance for some future date. Students Attend Dartmouth Carnival Cheer Wilkes Wrestlers The culmination of an idea generated by the School Spirit Committee will be reached today when a busload of thirty Wilkes students arrives at Dartmouth College to attend the spectacular Dartmouth Winter Carnival. Besides observing the various sporting events and displays, including the famous snow sculptures, the students will cheer the Wilkes wrestling team on to victory. Jan Bronson, School Spirit chairman, with the help of the Wilkes and Dartmouth Public Relations Offices, has secured accomodations for the group at the Woodstock (Vermont) Inn, located approximately 18 miles west of the New Hampshire college. The reservations were secured with considerable difficulty, since the Carnival attracts visitors from throughout the nation, and accomodations are difficult to come by. chaperones. Students making the trip include: June Vaanenen, Lyn Joseph, Ellen Sunde!, Myrna Fischman, Rosalind Deretchin, Ruth Friedlander, Anne Ligeti, Joan Smith, Ann Sedovy, J -e anne Mattern, Rowena Simms, Judith Berger, Merle Benisch, Linda Paonessa, Carolyn Olsen, Paula Lickver, Linda Ewing, Carol Thomas, Johanna Borowski, William Hunt, Leslie Andres, John Adams, Dick Lillienfeld, Paul Aquilino, Dick Barnes, Thomas Budd, Len Yoblonski, and Hana J anjigian.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1961 Ideas To Be Presented at Women's Assembly by Cynthia Hagley Preliminary plans have been made for the organization of an Association of Women Students on campus. This was accomplished at a meeting of women representatives from each class with Miss Beryl Cole, Dean of Women, presiding. Miss Cole explained some of the functions of such a women's organization and met an enthusiastic response from the women present.

It's Thursday, February 9th, in the midst of this long cold winter, and those valuable assembly "cuts" will be worth much more this spring. Furthermore, this coming program will be one that will hold your interest and keep your eyes on the stage and off the textbook on your lap, so don't plan to study. At the risk of editorializing and believing all advance press releases, Richard Corson and his monolog should prove to be one of the outstanding programs of the year. Corson, a young New York monoactor, who calls his unusual program of original character sketches Theatre Portraits, is one of the few men to make a success of the difficult art of monolog. This versatile young man is virtually a one-man theater, and has spent most of his adult life in various phases of the theater world. He has won acclaim as an actor, director, scenic designer, dramatic writer, make-up authority, and teacher. Richard Corson, born in Illinois and educated at DePauw University in theater arts, where he earned his Phi Beta Kappa key, wrote and produced his first monodrama while still an un(l.ergraduate. In addition to acting on stage, radio, and television throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe, he has taught dramatics at Vassar and the University of Minnesota. For several years he was makeup editor of Players Magazine, and he had contributed to Theatre Arts, Dramatics Magazine, Quarterly Journal of Speech, and other publications. His book, Stage Makeup, has been used for a number of years as the definitive text on the subject on about 90% of the col- Such an organization would provide the much needed self-government for women on campus. It would serve as a co-ordinator of oil women's activities and clubs and would not threaten the sovereignty of any organization now in existence. Groups such as Theta Delta Rho and the Girls' Athletic Association which was recently formed will work in and with Associated Women Students. The women attended this meeting at 11 o'clock last Tuesday in Weckesser Hall. After discussing the functions and organization of the A WS they were served coffee. Presently, the girls are gathering ideas for the coming special women's assembly in March. Some girls are also planning to meet Miss Jesse Janjigian, a former president of a similar chapter at the college she attended. She will be on campus today for this purpose. Anyone interested in hearing her experiences with this organization should be in Miss Cole's office at four this afternoon. Even though only a few members of each class attended the initial discussion meeting, any girl who is interested in the forming of this Association is encouraged to speak with Miss Cole. There will be another meeting of the group at W eckesser a week Tuesday at elev-en o'clock. Amnicola Seeks Support The yearbook will again attempt to secure the co-operation of the student body when it schedules underclassman pictures to be taken Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, February 8, 9, 10, respectively. The Amnicola staff wishes to remind students that a class represented in the yearbook as having a membership of fifty students presents a rather poor ,p icture to interested observers. Pictures will be taken in Chase Theater from 9 to 1 on the days mentioned. The sitting charge for the picture will be $1.00 to be paid at the time the picture is taken. No particular attire is required for the picture. A club picture schedule will be posted on the main bulletin board. Club leaders are asked to check this list. Picture-taking will start Monday, February 6. Accountants Elect Officers Robert H. Yetter, junior accounting major, has been elected president of the Accounting Club, and will succeed Fred Pello the club's first president. The elections were held between semester because of the internship program of the senior accountants. Other newly elected officers are: Frank Kline, vice-president; Mike Cebula, secretary; Clyde Roberts, treasurer. Club meetings are held Tuesdays at 11 :00 in Parrish Hall, Room 36. All those interested in joining the club are invited to attend the next meeting. leges and universities offering courses in theatrical make-up. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 t~~,;~•;h; Eili~; 1 Editorial- A Resolution to Keep . Although it may seem a little late for making New Year's resolutions, we wish that one resolution would be made and kept by the student body at Wilkes. It is important because it involves a matter of courtesy. I will act in a courteous manner at all College assembly programs. In this respect, acting in a courteous manner involves three areas of conduct. l. Coming to Assembly - Students should make every effort to be on time. This means getting to the gymnasium and being seated no later than 11 :05 a.m. One of the reasons for this is that. many times, the performer is engaged to appear at one of the local service clubs at a noon luncheon meeting. Thus, the program must begin on time and end on time. 2. Attending Assembly - Although some people would disagree, one of the finest attributes of self-discipline is the ability to listen and be attentive. This attribute is also a sign of maturity. It is not asking too much to request all of the dedicated Wilkes students to lay aside their books for one half hour of the week. A performer is always most appreciative of an audience. Just ask any music major. 3. Leaving Assembly - This is the area where rudeness has .come to the fore. The student seen rushing for the nearest exit as soon as the final word has been heard or the final note has sounded appears to be training for the 100-yard dash. Certainly, getting to the cafeteria five minutes later than usual will result in no deaths from starvation. The Student Assembly Committee with the help of Dean Cole has scheduled some interesting programs for this semester. Of course, every program will not interest every student. But there is still no excuse for rudeness or ill manners. Only through the cooperation of the student body in this respect can the Student Assembly Committee be expected to better its efforts in bringing interesting programs to Wilkes assemblies.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN I ~ 1 1 ::~ OOXIIIIIIIIIIXIIIOIXI Mr. Jay Olexy, Editor The Beacon Dear Sir: In its last issue, The Beacon printed a letter which was signed, "Cue 'n' Curtain." I wish to bring to your attention the fact that although the people who wrote the letter were members of the Cue 'n' Curtain organization, the club did not write the letter, nor did it request that the letter be written. Any correspondence to The Beacon comes from the advisor, the president, or the executive council of the club with proper signatures. Although the club endorses the content of the letter, the signers were registering student protest rather than one authorized by Cue 'n' Curtain. Sincerely, Barry Gintel, President, Cue 'n' Curtain Research Continues As WC Professors Receive Grants The National Science Foundation of Washington, D.C., has awarded two grants through its Undergraduate Research Participation program to Dr. Francis J. Michelini and Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, both of the Wilkes biology department. The grants will enable Undergraduates to engage in scientific research either as an individual working under the direct supervision of an established scientist or as a member of a research team working directly with the scientist. To help build the interest of superior students in research, to widen their understanding of the scientific method, and to improve their ability to employ scientific investigation p r o c e d u r e s, the Foundation has made $3.2 million available in 357 grants. . While participating in this program, students, chosen on the basis of applications made to the institution fostering the program, receive nominal stipends. As Dr. Alan T. Waterman, director of the National Science Foundation, has remarked, "Research experience has long been recognized as absolutely necessary to the training of a scientist. Few undergraduates have the opportunity, however, to actually engage in research. Few have the opportunity to strike out for themselves, under guidance, into areas or levels of study beyond normal curricular offerings." The Undergraduate Research Participation program is one way to aid and encourage colleges and universities to provide research of comparable experience to highly selected students with a view toward accelerating and deepening those students' education in the sciences.

The swimmers face Lycoming twice and Pennsylvania Military College and Millersville State College once each. Coach Hcivira has high hopes that his natators will finish the season strong. Sickness and injuries have hindered the team a great deal so far this season. John Miller, who needed 19 sutures to close a severe cut to his leg, will not be available for the first Lycoming meet but Havira hopes that the former Girard star will be ready for the last three. The latest bad break has been the loss of Art Eckhart, the team's foremost sprinter, because of a high fever. Art missed the East Stroudsburg meet and it has not been determined yet if he will be ready for the first Lycoming meet. One of the biggest losses to the squad has been that of the graduation of Pat Shovlin. Pat has been a stalwart of the team for the past four years and his loss will be sorely felt. His great versatility enabled him to swim any event for the team. In the first three meets he collected fourteen points and made a consistent showing in all events in which he swam. Despite the early season losses, the team is beginning to take a new shape and newer outstanding members are emerging. Roger Rolfe has especially looked impressive in the last two meets. In the 64-33 loss to Harpur, he garnered eight points with a first in the 200 yard breaststroke and a second in the 200 yard butterfly. He also picked up six points against East Stroudsburg with a winning time of 3 :51.3 in the 200 yard butterfly. Dick Bender looked strong in winning the 200 yard individual medley against Harpur and collected four points in the 69-25 loss to East Stroudsburg with a second and a third. Art Eckhart collected eight points with a first in the 100 yard freestyle and a second in the 50 yard freestyle against Harpur. Bender, Rolfe, and Eckhart were the three winners against Harpur while Rolfe was the only one against East Stroudsburg. The team is young, there are no seniors at all on the squad and shows promise of a good future. Bob Borkowski took a second place in diving against Harpur and has looked very good on the board. He shows real promise as a breaststroker and also swims on the medley relay team. Gary Greaker, who leads off the medley relay team, is coming into his own as a backstroker. He took a third place against Harpur and will be counted on as the best backstroker in the last four meets. (continued on page 4) Dutchmen Are Strong Colonels Defeat Harpur, Lose to Wagner Tomorrow evening the cagers host the Flying Dutchmen from Hofstra College in a MAC contest slated to get under way at 8 :00 p.m. The Dutchmen, after a spectacular season in 1959-'60 with a 23-1 record, are again having another fine season and will provide tough competition for the Colonels. The Davismen will be without the services of tall rebounder Bernie Kosch, who graduated at the close of the semester. The hoopsters gave their tall 6'6" pivot man a fine going away present as they turned back Harpur College, 81-78, just .p rior to exams. The team opened fast and had built up a twelve point lead iby midway through the first half with Harvey Rosen and Clem Gavenas showing the way with accurate field goals. With eight minutes left in the half, the Eagles started to eat away at the Colonel lead on the scoring of Mike Greenberg and Jim Davis. With only five minutes remaining in the first half, the Harpur squad came through and on an eightpoint outburst, gained a short-lived lead which soon disappeared as Dick Morgan and Phil Russo combined in a series of fast breaks and scoring to give Wilkes a 41 to 37 halftime lead. The second half was nip and tuck, the two teams matching goals for the first eight minutes before the Eagles again began to chew away at the meager Colonel lead. With three minutes remaining in the game a goal by Harpur's Ess tied the score at 72-72. Ron Roski registered a goal for the Blue and Gold only to have it matched iby Greenberg's two-handed set shot. At this ,p oint freshman Dick Morgan took command of the situation and scored on a fast drive and then added two fouls to give the Colonels a four-point lead with only two minutes remaining in the game. Harvey Rosen led the Wilkes scorers with 24 points, Ron Roski had 17, Dick Morgan and Clem Gavenas added 11 apiece, and Bernie Kosch scored eight points and was credited with sixteen rebounds and nine assists in his final collegiate game. Pugh, Gerko, Russo, and Kemps each had two while John Salsburg added one to the winning effort. The team ran up against just too much height last Saturday night, as it dropped its seventh game of the season against four wins in a 98-62 loss to Wagner College at Staten Island, New York. The Colonels fell behind early in the game and then saw the Seahawks pull away and take a never-to-berelinquished lead. The score at halftime saw the Wagner team holding a comfortable 26 point lead, 57-31. The Seahawks were led in scoring by 6'-7" Don Larsen, who dropped in 12 goals and seven fouls for 31 points. For the Colonels, team captain Clem Gavenas was high man as he connected for eight goals and two fouls for 18 points. Harvey Rosen was close behind with 17 points, Eddie Kemps had eight, Steve Gerko and Tom Pugh six each, Ron Roski had four and Dick Morgan three. ~*********************** TONY'S S.

The Flying Dutchmen had been expected to give the matmen their toughest meet of the season and the fact that they were responsible for the only blot on the 21 consecutive meet winning streak of the Colonels by virtue of last year's 16-16 tie made a victory over them more desirable. Brooke Yeager, this week's Athlete of the Week and the first Wilkes athlete to turn the trick this year, started things off in the Hofstra meet with a strong 6-0 decision over Don Hannon in the 123-pound class. For Yeager it was an instance of revenge, Hannon having defeated him for the MAC crown in that weight class last year. In what was probably the most surprising match of the evening, freshman Dave Puerta, wrestling intercollegiately for the first time, pinned Frank Baselice in 7:47 minutes. Trailing 7-5 midway through the final period, he combined a half-nelson and a crotch hold to pin Baselice directly in front of the Hofstra bench. A lull came in the Colonel's winning ways as the Dutchmen's John Ryan came through with an escape and a take down in the final period of his match with Mike Armstrong to break a 3-3 deadlock and win, 6-3. Harry Vogt then pinned Karl Fortmeyer early in the final period in the 147 pound match. He was followed up by Marty Strayer's 5-2 decision over Jack Gleason. In one of the closest matches of the evening, Ted Toluba was decisioned by Hofstra's Dick Muller, 3-0. Muller, who was warned once by referee Bill Lee for stalling, used a reversal and riding time to pick up the win. Marv Antinnes then put the meet out of the reach of the Dutchmen as he pinned Dick Hippner in 8 :05 minutes. Hippner constantly avoided Marv's attempts to get down to the business of wrestling and was warned once by the referee for stalling before Antinnes pinned him. The final match was taken by Smith of Hofstra who overcame outweighed Bob Herman's resistance and pinned him halfway through the second period. The team made Appalachian State Teachers College of North Carolina their 22nd consecutive victim last Thursday evening as the Colonels won six of the regular bouts in taking the meet, 24-6. Brooke Yeager continued his winning ways as he pinned Gerald Swain in 1 :09 with a cradle. Brooke had taken the Southerner down with a fast leg dive and quickly applied the cradle for the fall. Appalachian's hopes rose somewhat in the next match as Bill Cook decisioned Dave Puerta, 8-1. Cook, runner-up in national small college competition in the 130 pound class, proved to have too much experience and savvy for the Wilkes freshman and used two takedowns and a reversal to build up his score. Mike Armstrong resumed the team's winning ways in an 8-3 decision over Charles Boyer in one of the fastest matches of the evening with Armstrong using two takedowns and an escape in the opening period to build up a 5-2 lead. The Colonels then picked up the 147 pound match on default when Ken Shelton was injured in the second period of his bout with Harry Vogt. Vogt led at the time, 6-0. Marty Strayer continued the team's sweep as he registered a 5-2 decision over Mike Lassiter. In the 167 pound class, Ted Toluba brought the fans to their feet with a very impressive win. He caught Bill Mayhew with a reverse half-nelson and crotch hold and pinned him in 3:28. "Mustang" Marv Antinnes proved too much for .Southerner Farrell Anderson and won an easy 6-0 decision. The heavyweight bout proved the roughest and perhaps the poorest judged of the evening. Bob Herman, outweighed 30 pounds by his opponent, Joe Bailey, proved to be his match in skill and in the final several minutes, held a 6-4 edge. Bailey then used a reversal and picked up three points on a near fall to win the bout, the three final points having been awarded after (continued on page 4) I �WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON 4 Student Radio Series Presents National Objectives lo Panel This Saturday at I :05 p.m. Wilkes students will present the fourth in a bi-semester series of radio programs dealing with our national objectives. The programs were inspired by informative Life magazine articles on "Our National Purpose" and by published recommendations of the President's committee on National Goals. Produced through the cooperation of radio station WBAX, the program this week will feature four panelists: Betsy Hoeschele, senior, English major; Jerry Krasa, junior, Political Science; Joe Shambe, junior, Business Administration, and Ned Van Dyke, sophomore, English major. Mike Bianco, junior, Political Science major, will serve as moderator. Bianco will try to keep the discussion informal yet knowledgable, and at the same time lively and quick-witted. The program aims to develop cross-sectional and inter-class opinion and enlighten current problems of typical interest. All of the programs have been tape recorded; they will be kept in an on-campus record reference library and made available to students, teachers, and to the public in general. HA VIRA'S SWIMMERS (continued from page 3) Ed Gavel is beginning to get into shape after spraining his ankl1;1 earlier in the season. He collected four points against East : Strouds,, burg and is a member of the free-' style relay team which includes Mark Troy, a promising freshman with a great deal of power. Mark is also used in the sprints and took third place against Stroudsburg. Dave Smudin has turned into the endurance swimmer of the team and is also one of the promising individual medley men. Dave collected four points against Stroudsburg with a second in the 440 yard freestyle and a third in the individual medley. Bob Smith has proven to be a valuable asset to the team as he is able to swim both distance and sprint events. He placed second in the 440 against Dickinson and collected two points , against Harpur. Craig Huddy has been consistently bringing his time down in the 200 yard breaststroke and if he can build up his endurance will be a real threat. Dale Jones is a freshman diver who also doubles as a freestyler. He's beginning to work his way into shape both as a diver and as a sprinter. MATMEN AT LYCOMING ( continued from page 3) the buzzer had sounded signifying the end of the match. The Colonels proved to be just as effective in the exhibition bouts as in the meet as they won all three bouts. Rich Burns won in the 115 pound class over Mike Raydon, 4-2, and Ron Henney turned in a 7-4 decision over Joe Yatsko. In the 191 pound clash Bob Ainsworth proved that a 21 pound w e i g ht disadvantage was not enough to overcome him as he pinned Greg Van Orden in eight minutes. The matmen won their fifth consecutive meet of the season last Saturday night as they defeated East Stroudsburg State College, 23-5. The Colonels won every match except one and lost that through a severe injury to heavyweight Bob Ainsworth. Bob, wrestling his second match within two hours, was not forewarned about his opponent, Ron Mata,kaitis. Matakaitis had just entered Stroudsburg and was in his first intercollegiate meet after having placed third in New Jersey all-scholastic competition in high school. Ainsworth was at a definite weight and strength disadvantage from the outset and when he found himself about to be pinned, pulled his chest muscles so severely in a bridging •e ffort that he had to retire from action and be hospitalized in order to determine the extent of the injuries. X-rays proved that there was no bone damage but it has been disclosed he will be lost to the team for the remainder of the season. Brooke Yeager and Tom Gleason of Stroudsburg started the evening's competition off to a rousing start, exchanging points on reversals and takedowns at a fast clip before Brooke took the 20-6 decision. Dave Puerta handed Stroudsburg's Ken Nickitcher his first defeat of the season by a close 5-4 margin in the 130 pound class match. Mike Armstrong defeated Stan Woods in the 137 pound class while ************************ GENE SHAKER'S BOWLING SUPPLIES Gene (Shaker) Shaskas, Prop.

The additional courses and research work, which will tentatively begin in the fall semester, 1961, will entail expanding Stark Hall, its faculty, and its equipment. In preparation for the masters degree in. physics, courses in theoretical, solid state, and nuclear physics will be offered. Courses for the masters degree in chemistry will include physical, organic, and radiochemistry. Three faculty members have been added toward the graduate program: Dr. Swain of the chemistry department, Dr. Detweiler and Dr. Ripley of the physics department. Because RCA plans to locate in this area if a graduate program for engineers could be offered, the College will expand and make available this program as a public service to the community. Harry Vogt continued his unbeaten record by recording a 6-2 decision over Hugh Lawrence after ·a scoreless first period in the 147 pound bout. Marty Strayer continued his consistent performance through .p ast meets into this one and remains undefeated after having beaten Pat Rock, 16-4. Ted Toluba decisioned Mel Williams, 7-1, while Marv Antinnes pinned Jan Beliveau in 5:53 minutes after Beliveau had been warned once by the referee for stalling tactics.

Tuesday afternoon after finals, 22 music majors, members of the Music Educators' National Convention, left by car on a field trip to the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, New York. These students toured the school, noting particularly the numerous and well-equipped practice rooms, recital halls and the large theater, some 12 pipe organs and other facilities. They also toured the Sibley Music Library, the third largest music library in the world. One interesting feature of this library is a vault containing priceless manuscripts and volumes of music. The M.E.N.C. group, the only music club on campus, were pleased to renew acquaintances with two former Wilkes teachers, Miss Phyllis Clark, who teaches piano and theory at Eastman, and Mr. Robert Moran, former Wilkes band director who now teaches in the Rochester public school system.

Several weeks ago, the class gift committee was set up in order to procure and investigate sound suggestions, discard the very poor ones, and bring those sound suggestions before the class for the final selection. Pete Back, chairman of the gift committee, reports that the work of his committee has been hampered by a noticeable lack of student interest and of worthwhile suggestions. Although several good sug- WOMEN'S CORNER Letters to the Editor . . . Naturally;.. everyone knows what Dear Editor: After spending three "comfort- a fad is.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Fas hi on Footnotes Dear Editor: It was with a certain amount of alarm and surprise that I read in last week's Beacon about the final examination "taken" by the German 205 class at the end of last semester. I was surprised because I thought finals are supposed to be the final test of what the students have learned from the course. Since German 205 "covers the German dramatists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries," it seems to me that performing a play, while certainly in the spirit of the course, does not test the students' understanding of the movement of the period nor their understanding of the many differences which must certainly exist among Kleist, Werner, Anzengruber, or Hauptmann. Performing a play merely shows how well the students can act and speak a German dialogue. I was alarmed by this event because I can foresee this whole wild scheme becoming a fad, and students in other courses being required to "perform for final examinations." I can just picture the chaos that might ensue if chemistry students were required to combine their talents with the physics and engineering people to invent, assemble, and perfect a simple atom bomb or three-stage Hercules rocket. Or imagine the students in the education field having a "clearing house" wherewith they could meet with teachers to solve their problems. And students in political science courses would have to begin a third party and see their candidate at least as far as the State Assembly. How many girls by Wayne Thomas Two members of the college physics department attended the annual meeting of the American Physical Society in New York City last week. Dr. Daniel P. Detweiler and Dr. Julien A. Ripley attended the convention which began last Wednesday and continued until Saturday afternoon. Several sessions were held simultaneously and many papers were presented. Dr. Detweiler participated in a discussion on a paper concerning dielectric loss in iotic solids. He also attended a luncheon meeting on Thursday of the American Association of Physics Teachers committee on research in small colleges. Dr. Detweiler left here on Wednesday morning and returned on Thursday. Dr. Ripley, who was in attendance at the meeting from Thursday night until Saturday night stated that ' in the secretarial studies could clean and repafr a typewriter as a final examination? And how many commerce and finance students would enjoy having to invest in a fluctuating stock market in order to pass their courses? Worst of all, I foresee very serious repercussions if the people in the philosophy and religion departments were to erect a twenty-foot statue of Buddha atop Parrish Hall. I do not think "performing for final examinations" as the Beacon headline so boldly stated, is a good idea. It degrades the honor and dignity of presenting oneself at the gymnasium to take a three-hour written examination with ones friends and fellow classmates; it degrades the students as a whole, because they are in the same category as a menagerie where animals are kept to perform stunts. Please understand that I am not criticizing any department or chairman of that department; I am only voicing my protest against a practice that might soon turn the students of Wilkes College into a coterie of circus performers rather than sober, intelligent, and educated man and women.

Seniors Prepare for St. Patrick's Dance, Donkey Basketball Game by Sandy Biber Plans for the Donkey Basketball game which will be held on March 8 were discussed by the senior class at their meeting last Tuesday. The class voted to invite orphans to the game which will be held in the Gym. Suggestions for giving door prizes and presents to the orphans were also discussed but not acted upon. Also, the faculty will be asked to compete against the donkey-riding students. The senior class' Friday night dance will be held on March 17. Irish traditions will probably be worked into the theme' of the dance. Peter Back, chairman of the memorial committee, announced the following suggestions which he has received for the senior class gift: a public address system in the cafeteria, student typewriters in the library, and a synchronizing system for the college locks and bells. A contribution to the student union building fund, a language laboratory, and funds to lease a computer were also suggested. Back asked for more suggestions from· the class. It is estimated that there will be about $1500 appropriated for the gift. The suggestions will be narrowed down at the next class meeting and the final decision will be voted upon by the entire class in March. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 10, 1961 3 Matmen Away; Defeat Lycoming 17-11 Faculty Five, Playboys Cagers Away for Two, Herman Week's Athlete, Lead in 1-M Basketball; Lose 2nd, 3rd Straight; Heavy's 3-2 Win Decides Forfeitures Cited Rosen Paces Scorers Lycoming Meet The intramural b a s k et b a 11 league, although it started off to what seemed to be a very promising season, has lately been blighted by lack of attendance, resulting in games lost by forfeiture. Both leagues had s t a rt e d with full schedules of nine teams apiece, the largest ever in the history of the program but la0k of participation has reduced the number of active teams considerably. Mr. Michael Dydo, faculty coordinator, has requested that all teams which do not intend to play any more games and wish to withdraw from the league, notify him as soon as possible so that the schedules may be drawn up without risking any more forfeitures. In last Monday night's action, Warner Hall defeated Barre Hall and the Untouchables were defeated by Hollenback Hall.

Textile, 86-68 The squad has 'been defeated in its last two outings, losing, 86-68, to Philadelphia Textile and dropping a 99-68 contest to Scranton University. Textile continued its drive for a bid to the NAIA basketball tourney by downing the team in a game which, despite the final score, was nip and tuck most of the way. The Colonels opened strong and held a slight margin over the Weavers until about midway through the first half, when the Textile team called a time-out . to adjust their offensive tactics to the strong press brought to bear on them by the Davismen. The Philadelphia team then 'began to slowly pull away from the Blue and Gold and led at halftime, 42-35. The two teams traded baskets for . s e v e r a l minutes, Steve Gei<ko dropped in three for the Colonels . and Junius Johnson added three in the Textile effort. With five minutes left in the contest, Bob Simons and Bill Miller teamed to score four quick baskets to give the Weavers a ten point lead. This seemed to break the back of the Colonel effort as the Textilemen continued to hit the mark and had built up an 18 point spread by the close of the game. Harvey Rosen led the Colonels with 18, Steve Gerko had 13, Clem Gavenas 12, Ron Roski 11, Eddie Kemps 7, Dick Morgan had I four, and Pugh had three.

It was in 1958 that the matmen's streak of 23 consecutive wins was brought to an end by Millersville in a 15-14 thriller which saw the Marauders overcome a 9-0 deficit and win in the last match with a fall. Coach Reese's boys will go against the down-state squad with a 25-meet winning streak, the only blot being a 16-16 tie with Hofstra last season. Moravian College will provide the team with its last road competition at 8 p.m., Thursday evening at Bethlehem. The grapplers turned back the Warriors of Lycoming College on Tuesday night after overcoming an 11-3 deficit by winning the four final matches in a suspenseful 17-11 meet. The team remains unbeaten in 25 meets. Tuesday's contest at Williamsport was somewhat like last year's meeting between the two teams here in Wilkes-Barre, the meet not being decided until the heavyweight match. Last year saw Bob Sislian pin his opponent and break an 1111 tie to give the Colonels the meet, 16-11. This year, Herman's opponent in the heavyweight match needed a decision to tie the meet and a fall to win the meet for his squad. Herman, however, proved too good for Joe Confair and despite the fact that he was outweighed by 33 pounds, won by a 3-2 decision. Two Colonels dropped from the unbeaten ranks as Brooke Yeager lost an 11-10 decision and Harry Vogt was decisioned by Lycoming's Wilkes Open Tourney Champion, Bob Pac, 12-6. Marty Strayer and Marv Antinnes, however, continued their winning streaks as they each picked up their seventh wins of the season. The meet progressed dimly for the Colonels through the first four matches, the only win being picked up by Dick Stauffer with a 10-7 decision. Yeager lost, George Dussinger was pinned, and Harry Vogt lost to Pac. Fae's decision ended Lycoming's scoring for the night. Strayer then won a decision, Ted Toluba closed the gap in the score to 11-9 with a 5-4 decision, and then saw Marv Antinnes put the Colonels out in front for the first time as he pinned Bob Jones. Bob Herman then won to give Coach Reese's matmen their 25th straight win. · Bob Herman twenty-fifth consecutive mat victory with a stirring 3-2 decision over Lycoming ace, Joe Confair. Although outweighed by 33 pounds the crafty Colonel utilized a first period takedown and an escape to fashion the win and team victory. Being outweighed by forty and fifty pounds against each opponent is nothing new to Herman. The sophomore grappler regards this as a greater challenge to his wrestling ability and uses his slender but muscular 177 pounds to the best advantage. Bob has proven his ability to cope with and overcome this weight disadvantage by registering four victories this season and winning post-season tourney honors last year. . . . For Your Shop at . . . The amiable grappler won third place in the MAC tourney and then proved his worth by winning third place in the NAIA small college nationals. The third place finish in the nationals was won by downing several opponents who had won their league championships and were considered tops in their sections of the country. Herman graduated from Nanticoke High School in 1955 where he starred in the Nans' sports as a four year letterman in football and wrestling. He won a berth on the West All-Stars after his senior * * * gridiron year and was runner-up in The Colonels' first venture into district wrestling.

" She replied, "In my opinion the greatest and probably the most disheartening change has been the tendency of some organizations to lose their importance in. the eyes of the students because the organizations have lost their sense of purpose." When asked if she was satisfied with the school spirit on campus, Miss Hoeschele said that, "Our school spirit is improving, but it is not yet intense, it is really not yet equal to that deserved by the college personality." Finally, we queried, "What do you like best about Wilkes College?" "The one thing that really stands out here at Wilkes is · the open friendliness of the student body. This, to me, is the best attribute of our college," she answered.

Dear Cynthia, A Beacon reader commenting on my previous letters, asked me, "Do Pakistani cities have paved streets and sidewalks, skyscrapers, theatres, parks? How does the city look?" In an attempt to answer these questions, I shall sketch a profile of Lahore, the city in which I have lived for the past five months, and which exemplifies both the beauty and ugliness of most Asian cities. The earliest image I remember having of the Orient was one of a beautiful dancer, adorned with shining trinkets, peering from behind "a white muslin curtain". In my childhood days in Sarajeve, "The City of 100 Mosques", I heard the exotic stories of a Thousand and One Nights; feverish evenings were spent in riding on the magic carpet, hunting for Ali Baba's fabulous treasure with the help of Aladdin's lamp. My girlhood dreams were enriched by the delicate music of Tagore's lyrical prose and Rumi's mystical verse. The picture of Japanese landscape ethereally graceful with cherry blossoms and the cold beauty of Fujiyama were invitations to my imaginary travels. But, alas, the Orient I have seen is much le.ss romantic. The PakIndian subcontinent had a glorious past which is preserved in marble, gold and other splendored things, but to visit these monuments of former glory one must pass through dirty streets with open sewers, mingle with half-clad, unwashed; emaciated bodies, see fly-infested food displayed on the ground, _pass by half-starved dogs, dodge the disorganized traffic of modern cars and medieval oxcarts, tongas and rickshaws. However, I shall describe some of the more pleasant aspects of Lahore. I will divide my impressions into two parts; in this letter I wiil speak about the historical Lahore, and in the next one about modern Lahore. The history of Lahore has been rich indeed; it served as headquarters to Moghul Emperors; it was the Sikh political capital; it was the center of rabid religious nationalistic Hindu organizations before partition, and it is now the seat of the West Pakistan government and the Muslim cultural metropolis. The rule of Moghuls was at its height in the 16th and 17th centuries, and from that time date most of the monuments. Near the Old Fort, Aurangzeb erected the Badshahi Masjid (Imp er i a 1 Mosque) built in 1673 in imitation of the famous Al Walid Mosque in Mecca. The courtyard is a quadrangle 530 feet long paved with brick, and is the largest place of Muslim worship in the world. The Mosque itself is surmounted by three large, marble cupolas crowned with pinnacles of ·b rass, a characteristic feature of Moghul architecture. Under the central dome is a handsome niche turned westward toward Mecca with the pulpit for the Ulema. Each corner of the quadrangle pas a minaret of red sandstone, tall- and majestic towering above every other object in the city. The view of the top is breathtaking, but the climb up to it by means of narrow winding dark stairs is even more so. This impressive mosque was used as a military magazine during the Sikh rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, but was restored to the Muslim in 1856 by the British. Right now it is being polished and restored for the visit of Queen Elizabeth. The Fort Lahore, surrounded by a high brick wall, was built by Akhbar, the greatest Moghul Emperor. One of its many gateways was called "Elephants Foot Gate" because the ladies of the harem, when going out for fresh air, passed through on their elephants. Within the castle is the palace, which was enlarged and beautified by Emperor Jahangir. In paintings and enamels one can recognize images ■ by Mary Frances Barone Dorothy Ford, the Beacon's student personality of the week, has held a variety of positions in the business world. The experience which she has gained in these various positions will aid her in her field of endeavor - business education. Her on-the-job training has ranged from a clerk typist, to secretary, to an accountant, to a private secretary, to secretary to an electrical engineer. Miss Ford feels that the training and the experiences which she has had will make her adjustment easier in her job as a teacher. In her job as a private secretary to an electrical engineer at Weston Electrical Instrument Co., she set up a filing system with a crossindex reference for her department. It has enabled her replacements to find materials without difficulty. Moreover, by working and living in the Newark area, she found herself in contact with various types of people which she had never encountered in Wilkes-Barre. Miss Ford commented that living in a cosmopolitan area as Newark enabled her to develop a cultural aspect of life. In recalling her experiences in an insurance office, Miss Ford related that she developed an interest in insurance and that she might consider it as a summer occupation. Besides her experiences in the business world as a basis for her preparation in her field of en.deavor, she believes that she has received thorough training at Wilkes. According to Miss Ford, Mr. George Elliot was one of the most interesting and informative teachers who aided her in her adjustment and preparation for college life. However, one of the weaknesses that she finds at Wilkes is the organization of social activities on campus. She feels there is a lack of student participation and effort on the part of most of the students in the social activities. Moreover, she stated that there should be more of an integration of day and dormitory student activities. The basis for lier statement is the feel- Photo by Hancock Dorothy Ford ing that there is a lack of school spirit and social contact. Miss Ford worked for the library in the cataloguing department during her four years at Wilkes. She feels that she has had the opportunity to keep up to date with all the latest information and books in the various fields. During her stay on campus, she has been treasurer of her class, a member of the Beacon staff, TDR, varsity basketball team, and Education club.· She has been a member of the dean's list. Miss Ford is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Ford, 19 S. Hancock St., Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. She is a graduate of G.A.R.

Harvey has led the team scoring for the past four contests, each time breaking into the twenties and dumping in 25 points in the team's losing effort against Elizabethtown last Saturday. He became the season's first Colonel to score 30 points as he dumped in 32 against Lycoming on Wednesday. His fine efforts were somewhat hidden from the spectators earlier in the season but since the Christmas holidays his consistency in s c o r i n g and fine playing has brought him to the fore. He led the Colonels' rally in the second half of the Elizabethtown contest as he scored 19 points, 87 per cent of his shots from the floor hitting the mark. From the foul line against the Blue Jays he hit for a percentage of 56 and currently leads the Middle Atlantic Conference in that department with 91 %. Harv averaged 15 points a game so far this season, 6 rebounds a game and has hit for a 41 % field goal average. A 1959 graduate of Lafayette High School, Brooklyn, New York, Harv captained the basketball team and was a member of that year's All-Metropolis Basketball Team. At Wilkes he is majoring in Political Science and is a resident of Ashley Hall. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS PERUGINO'S VILLA Italian-American Restaurant A. Perugino Buon Pranzo 204 S.

The second half of the intramural bowling league got off to an inauspicious start Sunday night as only one team, the Playboys, champions of the first half's play, appeared with a full complement of bowlers. The persistent lack of attendance has brought forth an invitation from the student co-ordinators of the league to the student body for any interested students to report to Jimmy's Central Lanes Sunday evening at 5 :30 or to get in touch with Jerry Chisarick, Bill Watkins, or Dave Guss. Playboys 3, Tornadoes 1 The Playboys continued their dominance exhibited in the first half as they started strong, winning the first two games and amassing enough pins to win the series. Bill Watkins led the attack with 196-529. Jim Antonio assisted with a 175 triplicate 525 series.

On Wednesday evening the team returns home and will host Drexel in the second half of a wrestling-basketball doubleheader scheduled to get underway at 7 :00 p.m. The cage action will start at 8:30. The team displayed its two sides last Saturday evening . in dropping an 80-76 overtime decision to Elizabethtown. The Blue Jays displayed their best scoring production of the year in the first half of the contest as they ran up a 42-23 halftime lead. The second half started out as a repeat performance of the first as the Jays scored two quick goals to grab a 23 point lead. The Colonels' play, unspirited and slow in the first half, suddenly came to life after the E-towners two quick baskets. With "Athlete of the Week" _Harvey Rosen and Steve Gerko leading the scoring parade, the Wilkesmen began to narrow the Jays' margin. The aggressive rebounding of Tom Pugh and Ron Roski led the Colonels to a four successive basket outburst. Only the "roller skating" maneuvers of the Blue Jay center kept the E-towners in the game. Time after time, the lanky pivot man performed his "one-two-threekick-skip" offense to score. His questionable footwork escaped the notice of the officials throughout the game . . With three minutes remaining in the contest, the E-towners possessed a fast, dwindling eight point lead and tried to freeze the ball in an attempt t9 win. The ballhawking tactics of Tom Pugh and Rosen gave the Colonels three fast baskets and, after lo~ing Pug,h and Roski on fouls, tied . the score\ in the closing minutes on Ste\'e Gerko's sweeping hook shot. Rosen again stole the ball with but four seconds remaining and his desperation shot rolled around the rim before deciding to take an E-town roll and not go in. The score at the end of the regulation time was 68-68. In the five minute · overtime period, Clem Gavenas drew first blood for the Colonels but the scoring punch of the Davismen went ice-cold for four minutes as Elizabethtown grabbed an kight point lead. Last minute goals by Rosen and John Salsburg put the Blue and Gold back into contention as the seconds ticked away. The play became fast and furious in the closing seconds but neither team could score and the Blue J~ys held an 80-76 margin as time ' ran out. Defeat Lycoming; 72-70 The Colonel basketball team broke out of its loss doldrums Wednesday evening at Williamsport and defeated Lycoming. College, 7270. The squad's fifth win saw Clem Gavenas dump in a pair of foul shots after the game had ended. Gavenas had been clipped on a layup shot just as the final buzzer had sounded with the score tied at 7070. He made the two tries and gave the Davismen their second win over the Warriors this season. Harvey Rosen led the Colonel attack as he dumped in 32 points, the first WC hoopster to break into the 30 column this season. He had 13 goals in 22 attempts and sank six foul shots.

Once this is learned, there is no limit to what he can do. In the long run, the quality of a man's liberal education will be more important to his success in business than his specialized knowledge of business facts." This quote was taken from a recent spech delivered at Wayne State University by Theodore Yntena, the Ford Motor Company's vice-president of finance. The quote is also the essential theme of a recent article written by William Benton for a leading magazine. The article, titled, "The Failure of the Business Schools", is an urgent plea to American colleges to put an end to their narrow specialized business curriculums and to place greater emphasis on the liberal arts as a means of training the minds of youth to make intelligent and wise decisions which will affect our nation's future economy. Mr. Benton's provocative critique calls for some very deep thinking on the part of college administrators, faculty, and students. This thinking should begin with an analysis of liberal arts versus the specialized training offered, as such, by a business curriculum. The business curriculum is intended to prepare an individual to cope with near or immediate experiences. It trains an individual to cope with every known .problem that has been recognized by the author of such a textbook. The business student is taught, "principles of ..•"; he is taught to list in his notebook, for future reference, "advantages and disadvantages of ..." But - and without exception - a business curriculum cannot develop the mental discipline and reasoning powers which are so necessary for one's mind to think and reason beyond the known - beyond the immediate areas of human experience. And, after all, isn't this what a modem business world demands? Aren't business people looking for the deep-thinker; the creative thinker for their top level executive positions? As an afterthought, students should not forget and should face up to the fact that the modem firm is not looking for college. graduates to fill the lower management positions. These positions can easily be filled from within the company or from graduates of private secratarial schools. The next phase of our analysis should be, then, to consider how a future business executive can be properly trained to assume the awesome decisions and responsibilities which await him. The answer is simple, but not simple to attain. Only through tough mental exercise and "concentrated doses of English, mathematics, the natural sciences, history, psychology, economics, and the humanities" can a student be brought to a level where he is equipped to cope with the complexities of our modem life. No amount of specialized training and "principles" of this, and "principles" of that, can ever produce what is truly sought. Although the nearly complete disregard for all liberal arts courses in the business curriculum is widespread, the abuse of the English language, and the lack of ability to communicate is perhaps most apparent. The standards of English maintained in our undergraduate business schools are horribly low. English is left to the English class. No one is ever judged in a business course on his ability to write or speak correctly. In relation to this point Dean Teele of the Harvard postgraduate Business School said, "We're supposed to get the cream of the crop, but an incredible number of college graduates who apply for admission can't write a passable sentence." A valid conclusion, therefore, might be that two freshman composition courses are not enough for most students. Courses in advanced exposition or creative writing will lead to creative thinking. A course in logic will aid in the development of mental discipline: not a course testing one's knowledge of the principles of a successful brush salesman. The American fondness for shortcuts has only recently come under close scrutiny, only because these "shortcuts" have entered into the field of learning - a field where there is no substitute for mental discipline, and lengthy mental exercise. As Mr. Benton concluded, "Shortcuts to difficult objectives have a nasty habit of leading to blind alleys."

Almost every year this has been one of the questions addressed to members of the administration during the "Roving Mike" assembly, an assembly program during which the students may ask the administration any questions they might have regarding college plans and policies. This year, however, there will not be such an assembly, but partly because of the attention focused on the subject in an element of the local press, it deserves explanation. To those who are unfamiliar with the background regarding lack of athletic competition between the two colleges and the reasons for not resuming relations, the situation is indeed puzzling. The fact that the two are similar in many respects, and are located near each other seem to be the conditions necessary to establish and maintain what some would consider an avid and interesting intra-city collegiate athIetic rivalry. It is doubtless that a resumption of athletic relations between the two colleges would provide healthy barbershop and barroom conversation throughout the year and fill many sheets of foolscap. However, one should reserve judgment and criticism until he is familiar with all aspects involved. Immediately after World War ' II, when veterans had college education made available to them through the GI Bill, there were many in this area who enrolled at both Wilkes and King's Colleges under that program and as would be expected, participated in intercollegiate athletics. The two colleges did compete with each other at that time, there being an understanding that neither would engage in a wholesale reccruitment program and subsidization of athletes and that the place of athletics in the two schools would remain at the same level in relation to "more scholarly pursuits." The relationship continued on this basis for seven years, during which Wilkes dominated the gridiron and King's held sway on the basketball court. However, the emphasis on sports at King's underwent a change when Mr. Rocco English was named Director of Athletics. King's openly stated that it was going to build a powerful athletic machine and thereupon initiated a program under which it awarded, in one year alone, forty scholarships ·based primarily on athletic prowess. It was then obvious to those in positions of responsibility at Wilkes that the athletic policies of the two schools in relation to their place in education were entirely d1ssimilar. As a result, King's has not been scheduled on any Wilkes sport calendar since. The •situation is .now different. Mr. English is no longer at King's and ·King's College no longer ·. endeavors to acquire the reputation "Notre Dame of the small colleges." The philosophies of the two concerning the place and emphasis of athletics in a college are similar. At this point, one might be inclined to declare that because the two are so much alike, athletic relations should be resumed, however, more is involved in the maintenance of the status quo than consideration of academic, athletic, and scholarship policies. The primary reason is the past performane of th~ students of the two colleges at the games. In the first several years, a King's-Wilkes football or basketball game was an occasion for rallies and speeches on Public Square, bonfires, and other orderly conducted revelry. However, as often happens under such conditions, there were elements in both schools that thought such orderly conduct was highly irregular and decided to add a bit of what they considered to be the proper air for these events and began throwing paint and in other ways made the events not particularly pleasant to look forward to. Reminders of those days may still be viewed. One is quite close to Wilkes - the inscription "Beat King's" prominently displayed in white paint on the east tide of the old King's Science Building on West Northampton Street. The argument now naturally arises that hostile and disorderly elements no longer exist in either college. Attention should be brought to focus on the King's-Scranton basketball game played at the Scranton Catholic Youth Center last month. Newspaper reports attest to the near riot conditions that existed among the spectators at the game, and the fact that prefects in dormitories at King's were often up until two o'clock in the morning re-establishing order for a period of two weeks before the game is an indication of the spirit aroused. If such intense feelings, easily aroused to violence, exist in two colleges eighteen miles apart, one shudders to think what might happen twice a year involving two colleges just four blocks apart at athletic events considered traditional by the public. The respect that both colleges have gained in the community cannot be subjected to risk through possible destruction of private property and ugly public displays of rivalry. This lack of athletic competition between Wilkes and King's has recently been a subject for discussion in a local weekly newspaper, brought about primarily by Scranton University's decision to discontinue football. The subject has long been withheld by_people sincerely interested in the weltare of athletics at the two schools rather than those whose interest in the matter is more like that of a spectator and one interested in a source of newspaper copy. The increasing number of colleges discontinuing football has led some to erroneously believe that both King's and Wilkes may soon follow suit, pointing out that the heavy costs involved and the steady decrease in gate receipts will force the two schools to drop the sport for financial reasons. First of all, neither college is going to discontinue .football, nor are they going to resume athletic relations. Neither one considers football a source of revenue. It is merely another cost involved in the budget and is treated as such. It is understandable that colleges and universities which relegate to football the task of providing income will drop the sport when it consistently runs a deficit. This is strictly a cold, wise business decision. The great interest shown in professional football for the past several years has been instrumental in accelerating the decline of small college football. The shrinking gate receipts and increase in the number of losing seasons at a college might force a decision as to whether to discontinue the sport entirely or subsidize it to the extent of packing the teams so well that winning, profitable seasons are assured. _ ( continued on page 6) Team Away Against E.

The team captain made Tim Wong of Gettysburg his ninth consecutive victim of the season by pinning the Bullet hopeful in 1 :36. This was the "Mustang's" eighth pin of the season with his lone decision victory coming over his Dartmouth opponent. Marv made short work of Wong by taking him down early in the contest with an airplane spin and spent the next minute attempting to put Wong's shoulders to the mat.

Rolfe has been consistent in the events he has swum this season, winning most of the time. The last relay team of Mark Troy, Gary Greaker, Dick Bender, and John Miller defeated the Marauders. This was John Miller's first meet, having been previously sidelined with an injury, he came through in fine fashion and placed second in diving and swam in the winning relay. In the remainder of the scoring, Dale Jones took third places in both the 220 and 440 yard freestyle -e vents while Ed Gavel took third in the 50 and 100 freestyle events for an additional two points.

The squad turned in its 28th consecutive win and ninth of the season Wednesday night in downing Gettysburg, 31-3. The only Colonel to be defeated was heavyweight Bob Herman who was decisioned by defending MAC champion Mike Pacilio. Brooke Yeager and Dick Stauffer both won on forfeit and Marv Antinnes, Ted Toluba, and Mike Armstrong all turned in falls. Armstrong made short work of Maisel with a 1 :40 pin. In the 147 pound class, Nick Stefanowski, wrestling in place of injured Harry Vogt, won a decision over Gettysburg's Gisman. Behind, 3-2 in the last ten seconds, Gisman got an escape from Stefanowski to tie the score but the Colonel won the decision on time advantage. Behind at the start of the final period, 2-1, Stefanowski worked a reversal on his opponent and spent the rest of the time on top. Marty Strayer kept his victory skein intact as he won a 9-0 decision over White. Toluba picked up five more points for the Colonels in pinning Young in 2:20. In the shortest action of the evening, Marv Antinnes put Tim Wong's shoulders to the mat in 1 :36. The heavyweight match saw an outweighed and weaker Bob Herman utilize his utmost in strength and skill against Pacilio. The MAC champion, however, used takedowns and reversals to pick up sufficient points. Herman's four points came on a reversal and two escapes. The determination and courage with which Herman wrestled the match can best be demonstrated by pointing to the lunge he took at Pacilio's legs in the last fifteen seconds in an effort to make a takedown.

In a rare venture beyond that of producing a newspaper. the Beacon took on the task, last week, of sponsoring Glamour magazine's "Best Dressed Coed on Campus" contest. The response from the student body and from the general public was beyond our fondest expectations. The fact that the contest itself was a success was evidenced by a turnout of approximately 250 fashion enthusiasts despite the inclement weather. As anyone who has ever worked with or organized a fashion show would know, it takes the full cooperation of quite a few people to insure a smooth program. We did not have many in number, but those who worked with us on a purely voluntary basis put in many hours "above and beyond the call of duty". The contestants, themselves, would no doubt wish us to express our sincere thanks to Mrs. Juanita Miller who, along with her smooth, professional commentary, helped each girl "put her best foot forward" with some valuable tips. Miss Jan Bronson was her usual "ball of fire" self in taking care of the many small but important details which we had overlooked.

Varied Prorgam Planned For Freshman Weekend WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - The subject of this week's student sketch is Patricia Boyle, senior co-ed, who will graduate in June with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. I talented Miss Boyle, a 1957 honor graduate of Hanover Township High School, was the recipient of an academic scholarship upon her matriculation at Wilkes. She began as an art major, but decided, in her fourth semester, that her real interest was in the English field. Pat has since accumulated fifty-five credits in English, fifteen credits beyond that required for an English major, which would seem to indicate that she is happy in her present field. However, her interest in art has not been neglected. She continues to paint, sketch, and do woodcuts. Some of her work has appeared in the Manuscript and in campus exhibitions. Pat also finds time to design and make many of her own clothes. _______ The eldest of the seven daughters of Mr. and Mrs. James F. Boyle of Hanover Green, Pennsylvania, when asked, "What do you do in your leisure time?" replied, "Who has U leisure time?" This remark may be partially due to the fact that Pat is a staff member on all three camt, . ' pus publications.

Many students, particularly those who are not properly considered liberal art students, could broaden their education ·by participating in and attending the programs sponsored by the Art, Music and English departments." Although Miss Boyle is undecided about the immediate future, her long range plans include graduate study and teaching. jor problems facing the U.N. Dr. Price, who is a nephew of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, considered these three major problems as being Nuclear War, National Independence, which is a desire to end colonial domination, and Economic Development. He stated that the United Nations organization is the only hope for dealing effectively with these problems.

Stroud. Highlight Roski's Play Tomorrow the basketball ieam closes the 1960-61 season with a game away at Trenton, New Jersey against Rider College. It will be the last game for the four members of the team slated for June graduation; Eddie Kemps, John Salsburg, and co-captains Ron Roski and Clem Gavenas. The Davismen dropped a 105-92 decision to East Stroudsburg State College last Saturday at East Stroudsburg. It marked the first time this season that scoring by either team in a Colonels' contest has gone over the 100 mark. Harvey Rosen led all scorers with 29 points. Ron Roski had 22 for the Colonels, Ed Kemps had 13, Tom Pugh and Clem Gavenas each had 12 and Steve Gerko had four. Their home finale was a winning effort as they downed Rutgers of South Jersey at the gym Monday night, 98-83. After overcoming an early 6-2 Pioneer lead, the Colonels opened up with a wild scoring spree with Gavenas and Roski leading the way. Halfway through the opening half Tom Pugh connected for three consecutive jump shots to give the Blue and Gold a 34-17 lead. The two teams matched baskets for the remainder of the first half and at the between-halves break Wilkes held a comfortable 48-29 lead. After an apparently inspiring talk from their coach, the Pioneers came back strong in the second half and used a full-court press to keep the Colonels busy. The Rutgers team cut the Colonels' lead from 23 points down to seven by midway in the half, 74-67. The Colonels again began to pull away as speedster Kemps and Harvey Rosen worked effectively against the press. Kemps and Rosen offset the aggressive Pioneers' drives as they dumped in 15 fouls in the last twelve minutes to maintain the Colonels' scoring edge. Six men hit in the double figures for the Colonels. Harvey Rosen led the team with 20, Clem Gavenas and For his salient performance in leading the Colonel cagers to a hard-fought 98-83 home finale victory over Rutgers of South Jersey, Ron Roski was chosen this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week". Tornadoes .Blank 'Cats; Playboys Lead Pack, Williams' 211 Sets Pace The 6'-4" co-captain registered a 17-point scoring outburst with eight goals and a foul and was a "bull of the boards" as he pulled in 18 rebounds. This eminent display of basketball ability was rounded out by his great defensive play illustrated in his many blockings of Rutgers field goal shots. This is "Big Steve's" fourth season in the Blue and Gold ranks and his third season as a starter. During his freshman year he played in the limelight of Wilkes' all time great, George Morgan, and was thrown in the center post to replace Morgan during his sophomore year. The pressure on Ron was great but he fulfilled his role as "big man" of the Davismen. Last year the amiable cager hit a high point by leading the Colonels to a near .500 season and was counted on to be the leader of the '60-'61 squad. He started the season with a bang and led the basketeers to a 3-1 record. Shortly after the Christmas vacation he was stricken with a stomach disorder and was unable to carry the leadership load as the Colonels faltered. In the last three weeks Ron has regained his stature and has led the Colonels to wins over Lycoming and Rutgers and to near-victories over Drexel, Elizabethtown, and Upsala. "Big Steve" is a graduate of Plymouth High School where he won All-Star ratings in football and Ron Roski each had 17, Ed Kemps 14, Tom Pugh eleven, and Steve Gerko had ten. John Salsburg and Dick Morgan rounded out the scoring with five and four points respectively. The wrestling team is at Moravian College in Bethlehem this weekend to defend its MAC wrestling championship for the fourth consecutive year. Marv Antinnes and Dick Staulfer will both be defending their titles for the second straight year. The squad brought the curtain down on another undefeated season last Saturday afternoon at the gym as they downed a strong C. W. Post team, 24-6, for their 29th consecutive dual victory and third straight undefeated season. · The only Colonels to be defeated were Mike Armstrong and Bob Herman, who lost by decisions to their opponents. Brooke Yeager won the 123 pound match with an 8-5 decision over Tom Frangella. Frangella started fast by picking up three points with a take-town and a preSunday night's action saw the dicament in the opening minutes of cellar-dwelling Tornados come out the match.

Sophomore Class to Kick Off Jazz Concert; Shubert Gives Album Junior Class Launches Dinner Dance as First Social Function Manuscript Fine Stands· Student Govt. Upholds ' Activities Regulations by J. L. Shilanski After considering an appeal made by Kurt Roberts, president of the Manuscript Society, the Student Government voted to uphold its previous verdict. The Society will be fined twenty dollars for failing to comply with the Student Goveernment's policy on the submission of an activities form for all open functions held on campus and for not obtaining permission from the organization which had been awarded that particular calendar date. The Manuscript Film Society neglected to file the proper forms for the showing of The Idiot, which was held February 24, the sam e evening as the Lettermen's Cherry Tree Chop. However, no definite date has been set for final payment of the fine and the society still has the prerogative to refer this decision to the Court of Appeals. At Monday's meeting plans for th e forthcoming Spring Weekend and the Cinderella Ball were also discussed. The Weekend of May 12-14 has been chosen and will begin with the Cinderella Ball on Friday evening. After much discussion a motion to make the attire for this dance formal was carried by a 9-4 majority. Herbie Green has been engaged to provide music. Price of the tickets will be $2.00 per couple. It was announced that a Student Leaders Conference will be held on March 13 in the cafeteria beginning at 6 :30 p.m. All student leaders are asked to attend this meeting, at which will be discussed topics of interest to all. Two new committees w ere appointed. Mike Bianco will head a committee to be known as the Student Organization Evaluation Committee. Plans are being made to conduct a survey on student leadership here on campus, and it is expected that this survey will continue into next semester. The other committee formed Monday night was a Committee to study the parking facilities and to see what can be done to aleviate the parking p r o b 1 e m. Betsy Hoeschele was appointed chairman of this committee. Plans for a joint meeting or seminar of the Wilkes and King's College Student Governments to be held in the near future were also discussed. It was decided that topics of mutual concern should be considered. It was noted that the Student Government Office has recently been redecorated and a suggestion to send a letter of appreciation to members of the crew will be enacted. Betsy Hoeschele reported that arrangements for Student Government Pins had been made. This year's pins will be engraved with the words Student Government rather than Student Council. Jim Walters, treasurer of the organization, moved to transfer the necessary funds from the Student Government treasury to the treasury of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations so that the club might attend the Model General Assembly, to be held in New York later this month.

Arrangements for the conference have been made under the direction of Miss Betsy Hoeschele, permanent chairman. Miss Hoeschele and Michael Bianco, Northeast Regional Director, are shown above. Similar conferences will be held in each of the other districts of the state including southeastern, cent er, southwestern and northwestern parts. Schools sending delegates to the northeastern assembly are: East Stroudsburg, Bloomsburg, Hazleton campus of Penn State, Keystone Junior, King's, Kutztown, Lafayette, Lehigh, Lycoming, Mansfield, Marywood, Misericordia, Moravian, Scranton, and Wilkes. Delega.tes numbering 125 to 200 are exepcted to attend. Those planning to arrive on Saturday will be greeted by a reception at Chapman Hall, under the name of "Hillbilly Party" and will be housed on campus overnight. The conference itself will begin on Sunday morning with registration at 9 a.m. in Stark Hall. Coffee and donuts will be served to delegates at this time. From 9:45 to 10 :15 the Executive Committee will be in session. This meeting will include the nomination and election of Regional Speaker, Clerk and Parliamentarian. Mike Bianco, junior political science major, is a candidate for the office of Regional Speaker with a large bloc of votes pledged to Wilkes. The Speaker's main job is to preside at the general assembly. Also at the Executive session, the proposed Constitution for the region will be discussed and voted on. After the Executive session the Legislature will meet. For this session, each delegate will be assigned to one of five committees. These committees will be: Labor and Industry; Health, Education and Welfare; Highways, Transportation, Agriculture, and Natural Resources; Judicial and Congressional Reapportionment; and Taxation and Finance. Each committee usually introduces and debates three bills concerning its particular area. All of the bills have been written by the students themselves. Bills are then sent to the Gen eral Assembly for discussion and vote. Dinner will be served to the delegates in the cafeteria after adjournment of the Legislative session. Syracuse University were also made available. Immediately preceding the business meeting Bill Davis, parlimentarian of the Student Government, led the group in a workshop on parliamentary procedures. Activity forms accepted this month were as follows: Manuscript Film Society, showing of Little Fugitive to be held in Stark Hall March 17; Senior Class Sham Rock Dance, March 17 in the gymnasium; Chapman-Ashley Dormitory to be held in Chapman Hall on March 11; and the Sterling-Barre Dormitory, April 28. Members present at this month's meeting were: Betsy Hoeschele, Beverly Major, Bill Davis, Mike Bianco, John Hosage, Rich Rees, Carol Thomas, Ted Begun, Lorraine Rome, Jim Walters, Tom Schaffer, Lou Coopey, and Fred Smithson. As an added touch just to show that the Student Government is not made up of a bunch of "dead heads" who lack humor, Mike Bianco moved that a sympathy card be sent to President John Hosage in consideration for his administrative problems. The motion was unanimously carried. At 1 :30 the General Assembly will meet to debate and vote on the bills returned from the Legislative Committees. Dean George Ralston, Mayor Frank Slattery, and representatives from the Democratic and Republican caucuses were invited to address the General Assembly by Mike Bianco, Northeastern Regional Director. This conference is being held in preparation for the State Convention of the I. C.G. in Harrisburg, to be held on April 13-15. The purpose of the organization is for the students to learn government •b y participation. �Friday, March 10, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 Wilson Fellowships Awarded To Future College Professors 'Manuscript' Sets Dates For Literary Art Work Deadli~e sTuDENT 5K;TcHEs • PRINCETON, N.J., March 10-The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation today named 1,333 students from 381 colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada as Woodrow Wilson Fellows for 1961-62, the largest number ever elected by the Foundation in its 15-year search for prospective college teachers. In announcing the 1961-62 winners, Sir Hugh Taylor, President of the Foundation, estimated the total value of this year's awards at $3,000;000. The fellowships cover the first year of graduate study and are meant to encourage the newly-elected fellows to consider college teaching as a possible career. Nominations for these highly-competitive awards are made by the students' professors. Screening of candidates also is done by 15 regional committees drawn from the academic profession. Winners were chosen from 10,453 nominees, representing a 21 per cent increase over last year and a five-fold increase since the program was expanded in 1957 by a $24,500,000 grant from the Ford Foundation. "The unprecedented increase in the number of nominees," Sir Hugh said, "has enabled us, after the keenest of competitions, to recruit young people who possess the highest qualities of intellect and character, and particularly those who had never thought of a professional career, or at least were undecided about it." More than 23 fields of study, nearly all in the humanities and social sciences, are represented by this year's winners. Those in mathematics and natural sciences represent 15.9 per cent of the total. The winners, of whom 28.2 per cent are women, will be enrolled in 90 different graduate schools in this country and Canada. The Foundation accorded Honorable Mention to 1,614 others. A list of their names, fields of study, and their undergraduate colleges has been sent to the deans of all graduate schools in the United States and Canada and to the Foundation's faculty r epresentatives on 1,126 campuses. On the basis of past experience, the Foundation anticipates that most of those winning Honorable Mention will receive alternate awards either directly from universities or from other organizations. Dr. Hans Rosenhaupt, National Director of the Foundation, noted the following points about this year's competition: 1. Larger numbers are turning to college teaching as a "prestige" career despite opportunities to earn more in other fields. 2. More students of outstanding ability are being recruited from hundreds of colleges indicating the high quality of education in many lesser-known schools. 3. Candidates are choosing their graduate schools on the basis of their own needs rather than the general prestige of the institution. Inconsequence, their choices of graduate school represent a larger list than ever before. In addition to the awards for first-year graduate study, the Foundation annually makes subvention payments totalling nearly $2,000,000 to the various graduate schools where Woodrow Wilson Fellows enroll. Three-fourths of the fund must be used for second-year awards to graduate students regardless of whether they are Wilson Fellows. The remainder may be used at the discretion of the graduate schools to improve library facilities, raise faculty salaries, provide counseling services, or otherwise to improve their program of study. Since the Fellowships program began, the Foundation has elected a total of 5,608 Woodrow Wilson Fellows, including those announced today. At the recent meeting of the Manuscript Association, the membership considered the possibility of extending the deadlines for the acceptance of manuscripts and art work. It was decided that the deadline for art work will be ext ended until March 31 and the deadline for manuscripts until April 8. These deadlines must be met if the publication is to be ready for distribution on campus during the third week of May. Students wishing to submit manuscripts may give their work to any member of the Manuscript Association or may drop their entries into the Manuscript mailbox n ear the back door of the Library. Students interested in having their art work published may either give their contributions to the Manuscript members or submit them to the art department where they will be kept until the judging of art work to be held in Conyngham Annex on Tuesday, March 21. The election of works to be published will be left to the discretion of the editorial board. Students are reminded that prizes will be awarded at the A wards Assembly to the students who have submitted the most outstanding contributions in the fields of poetry, the short story, the essay, and art. Manuscripts already submitted are presently on file in the Library where members may read and evaluate them at their leisure upon presenting the librarian with proper credentials as bona fide members of the Manuscript. by J.

WISE POTATO CHIP PLANT Members of the Accounting Club w ere g uests of the Wise Potato Chip Company last Friday. The students, led by Leonard Reese, toured the Berwick plant and business offices. The tour began in the conference rooms of the firm with a showing of a film on the actual production of potato chips. The students then proceeded to the general offices where they obs-erved the various procedures and techniques used by the business offices. The most interesting aspect of the tour was the operation of the IBM "Ramac" computer which analyzes and retains production data with its electronic memory. A visit to the Internal Revenue's district office in Scranton in the near future is the next field trip on the agenda for the Accounting Club members and their guests. · Percussion V1rluoso Plans lo Further Education in Music While rambling about the campus this week, looking for a likely subject, who we could immortalize in the annals of the Beacon, we came across a percussion virtuoso, lurking in the gables of Gies Hall. He is none other than Harry S. Owens, a senior music education major, who as rumor has it can play anything you can hit and get quite a bang out of life doing it. Owens, a resident of Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, has been beating the drums for more than ten years, and is the winner of the DeWitt Music A ward, presented annually by the Forty Fort High School to its outstanding music student. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Owens and the eldest of their three children. He has a brother who is a freshman at Wesleyan University in Connecticut and a younger sister. Immediately after graduating from high school in 1957 Harry entered the Music Education curriculum at Susquehanna University. He transfered to Wilkes after his first semester and has since become a valuable asset to the growing Music Department here on campus. He is president of the Concert Band; Secretary of the Collegians; Secretary of the local chapter of the Student Music Educators National Conference; a member of the Harry Owens Mixed Chorus; Percussion Ensemble; and the Wind Ensemble.

EYEGLASS DRIVE PROGRESS The Economics Club's annual eyeglass collection campaign is proceeding on schedule and collections have been good. Jim Allen, chairman of this year's drive, reports that students on campus and the public in general are .contributing generously. According to Allen every type of spectacles has been received from monacles to the fanciest bi-focals of today. Contributions have been made in boxes especially provided for that purpose; the containers last week were placed on campus and members of the Eyeglasses Committee personally manned pickup stations on Public Square. T h e eyeglasses contributions were spurred last week by a display on Public Square by the American Optometries Society. Students who wish to contribute discarded spectacles will find containers in conspicuous places on campus next week. C.C.U.N.

I �2 Friday, March 17, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL 111111111111111111111111 Horatio Alger Award We recently received some interesting material from an organization known as the "Horatio Alger Awards Committee of the American Schools and Colleges Association". The title of the committee means nothing, of course, if the name, Horatio Alger, draws a blank. Alger was a famous American author specializing in juvenile books. After graduating from Harvard in 1852, he settled in New York and became interested in the condition of self-supporting boys. He wrote approximately fifty novels on this subject. including "Ragged Dick", "Tattered Tom", and "Luck and Pluck" - all of which became very popular. Alger is also recognized for his series of juvenile biographies on the lives of such notables as Webster, Lincoln, Garfield, and others. Thus, to honor the name of Alger and to foster the American tradition of the opportunities and rewards for initiative, ability, and hard work, the committee was formed approximately fifteen years ago. Some of the previous winners of the Alger Awards have been: J. C. Penney, Bernard Baruch, C. L. Kettering, Charles E. Wilson, Adolph Zuker, Benjamin F. Fairless, Joyce C. Hall, Clifford Hood, Dr. Milton Eisenhower, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, and Herbert Hoover. Ballots for this year's Horatio Alger Award conduc:ted by the American Schools and Colleges Association have been mailed. Wilkes has received five ballots. Eighteen outstanding Americans are listed on the ballot from which nine are to be chosen. Those students who are sincerely interested in taking part in the selection of the award winners are invited to drop into the Beacon office and pick up a ballot. The deadline for submitting the ballots is March 31, and we again remind you that we have only five ballots. Ballots will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. We expect some response!

Folek, subject of band, Dr. Stanko Vujica, who is this week's "student sketch", it is the opinion of this reporter studying on a Fulbright grant. * :;: :;: that the future will find Walt somewhere in the city of New York Dear Cynthia: Often I become very sad when evening falls over Lahore. There is a blue-gray haze in the air, and the birds, nestling in the mangotrees, twitter their evening song. The muezzin calls for prayer, and in this holy month of Ramazan, at sunset the Muslim breaks his fast; the streets are deserted, as everyone is at home preparing for the m eal. The dust grows darker and softer. Only the monotonous rhapsody of the crickets breaks the sudden, weird silence. This is the time to take account of the day and put into one's notebook impressions and thought. Leafing through my notebook, I . find a number of topics about which I intended to write, but the subject which is uppermost in my mind and which keeps coming back to me is the position of the woman in the Orient. I don't think I shall ever be completely happy after having seen that half of the population of the teaming Orient are in a state worse than that in which slaves ever lived. As one prominent Pakistani woman, the only woman in the legislature, said, "The greatest slavery that the world has ever known and that the twentieth century has to conquer, is the subjugation of the women." V erY seldom do women venture into the outside world. When they do, they are scared, bewildered, and terribly curious, almost dumbspelled. There are many pleasant things in this land - flowers in a riot of colors, marble palaces, exotic birds, a stroll along the flowering wheat fields, or a lazy chat in a tea-stall, but not for the secluded women: their faces are covered, their minds are closed and their hearts are afraid. To illustrate, let me relate a few personal experiences. She was accompanied by an older gentleman and a little girl. As she was signing her check, she lifted her veil, and I saw her deep eyes, full of unspeakable sadness. She smiled meekly, and I asked her if the man next to her was her husband and if the child was her daughter. The question was not unusual, because very often you can see a very old man married to a child-bride. She told me that he was her father; her husband h:i,d just sent her back home. No formalities were required by Muslim law - she was simply told to leave. The reason given was that she bore him four daughters, and no son. "He does not support me or the children, and he does not give me a divorce either. He says that he is punishing me for not having sons." She spoke in adequate English, being a graduate of a women's college in Lahore. "He got married to a young woman." "How many sons did she 'give' him?" I asked. She smiled shyly. "They don't have children." "My t w o grandfathers a r e brothers," a rich Pakistani begum told m e. "My parents are first cousins, and all my children married their cousins. This way, ..." she added with a tone of pride in her voice, "the men keep the wealth in the family." Raj, our cook's wife, is twentyfive years old, and they already have five children. She is a Christian, an.d does not cover her face, but otherwis~ her life is just as drab and secluded as that of her sisters. The . Christians are converts from the lowest caste, the former untouchables, and they belong to the poorest segment of the population doing only menial work if they are lucky to find it. I met Niget, a young college girl, who was engaged to a rich boy she has not yet met. She will see him for the first time when she moves into his house. Whenever . . . either on Wall Street or Yankee Stadium. However, whether it be a stock exchange or the infield, we at Wilkes will surely hear of this versatile senior commerce and finance major. It is largely through his efforts that a defunct program which originated here at the college in 1956 has been revitalized. As chairman of the Economics Club's stock committee, Walt explained that his committee's purpose is to create an interest in the investment field and the buying of stocks. One of its primary aims at the present is the investment of approximately $250, which the Economics Club raised through raffles and other money-making projects. Plans are being made ,t o invest this money in the stock of such companies as Sperry-Rand, Ronson Corporation, and the Peabody Coal Company. Dividends from this investment will revert to the club. From the athletic standpoint, this Wilkes-Barre Township resident has been a valuable asset to the college baseball team since he came to Wilkes as a freshman in January of 1958. · Wait recalls playing third base that year with his present coach, Mike Dydo, holding down "first". Folek, now 25·, says that they probably had one of the oldest teams in college baseball that year, since nearly the whole team was made up of veterans. He has played varsity ball for the . past three years and is looking forward to a good season for himself at second base and a winning team for Wilkes. Walt, a 1953 graduate of WilkesBarre T own s h i p High School, played four years of baseball and two years of football. He entered the U. S. Navy immediately upon graduation. He spent four years in the service at various bases across the country and completed most of his last two years aboard the large attack carrier, USS Saratoga, CV A60. During his · tour of duty he rose to the grade of Aerographer Second Class, a nd was trained by the Navy to do weather forecasting. While he was stationed on the Atlantic Coast, he visited "ports of call" in Scotland, England, France, and Cuba. It was during his enlistment in the Navy, when he put some of his savings into a mutual stock fund, that be became interested in the investment field, and he decided to enter college. Walt has accelerated his program here at Wilkes by attending summer sessions, and he will graduate in June, after having spent only three and one-half years in college. He hopes to work in the New York area as an investment researcher, and to continue his education at night, so that he might Walt Folek receive his master's degree and realize the long range plans of becoming an investment analyst. Folek feels that the liberal education that he received here has provided him with the basic tools for entering the business world. He was particularly appreciative of the help he received from his instructors in the Commerce and Finance department. He added that he has thoroughly . enjoyed his years at Wilkes and would choose it ·again for his undergraduate work, if he had to do it. However, one change that. he . would like to see m ade in the business curriculum is ,t he requirement of the six semester· hours to twelve semeste~ hours in accounting. He reasoned that by doing so the business student would find the advanced courses in accounting very beneficial. Among the other activities in which Walt participates are the Society for the Advancement of Management, of which he is the treasurer, and the Lettermen's Club. He has also worked at various jobs during his summer vacations. Last summer he served as playground instructor for Wilkes-Barre Township, where he resides . with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph K. Folek of 62 Spruce Street. Cue 'n' Curtain Plans Spring Performances by Mary Frances Barone The Cue 'n' Curtain has a numerous amount of activities planned to finish the season.

Now that swimming, basketball, and wrestling competition have been brought to their natural ends and before we are subjected to batting averages, love sets, pars, birdies, and fielders' choices, it is well to examine the efforts of the three winter sports mentioned above. The brightest spot of all is, of course, wrestling. The dieters and orange-eaters retired from the mat with an unblemished record of nine wins and no losses and capped the season by taking the Middle Atlantic Conference tournament at Moravian College. The two toughest meets were against Hofstra and Lycoming Colleges, with Moravian threatening an upset by moving its men down a weight class in an effort to bring more strength to bear against the Colonels. The Moravian meet was highlighted by draws and the pin victories by Harry Vogt and Marv Antinnes were the deciding factors. Marv Antinnes broke Jim Ward's old records in number of points scored and consecutive victories. Marv racked up 146 points scored and won 36 while losing only one match in dual meet competition during his four years of collegiate wrestling. Marty Strayer turned out to be the surprise of the season. He went undefeated and has only a draw to mar his record. The 157-pounder went on and took the title in his weight class at the MAC tourney. A smooth operator on the mat, it is a distinct pleasure watching this freshman at work against an opponent. The support given the wrestlers by the student body has been particularly good during the season. Large crowds at Lycoming and Moravian attest to the squad's loyal following. The basketball team was off to an impressive start at the beginning of the season but early in December hit a snag and lost its winning record. Coupled with an illness to Ron Roski and the loss of Bernie Kosch through graduation were the opponents' ability to use fast breaks and fancy passing to great scoring advantage. Harvey Rosen was the dark horse at the beginning of the campaign but emerged as the most outstanding performer. The consistent play of Roski and Gavenas after the Christmas holidays, with Roski handling the backboards and Gavenas dumping in his accurate set shots, led the way. The team began to function smoother and defeated Rider to end the 7-14 season on a winning note. The swimming team was beset by lack of experience and the loss of two of its best men for a considerable part of the season. Art Eckhart contracted infectious mononucleosis after having participated in only two meets and John Miller, diving ace, severely injured his leg in a practice dive. Despite the fact that Miller won three out of the four diving events in which he participated in addition to aiding in the freestyle relay, the three meets in which he did not participate would not have gone the other way if he had been able to swim. Roger Rolfe and Dick Bender garnered most of the scoring while Eckhart matched his own SO-yard freestyle record. Needless to say, the team can only improve from here on in.

While the Department of State in Washington has continuous openings for stenographers and typists, the urgent need is for secretaries and stenographers fo r the Foreign Service, and there are also positions in the Foreign Service for communications clerks. "Our Foreign Service •is expanding with the creation, in the last year, of several n ew independent r epublics, and with the prominence of the United States in world. affairs," said Miss Chalker. "This o.ffers increased opportunities to those persons who have . a real desire to serve their country in a much-needed .capacity. While living conditions are often quite different from those at home, and while duties may be routine in nature, the majority, by far, of Foreign Service p e r s o n n e 1 find their greatest r ewards in t erms of service to their country, opportunities for the development of their understanding of the customs and pr oblems of other peoples, and the challenge of adapting themselves to new situations in an exciting, behind-the-news atmosphere." "These are civilian jobs in embassies and consulates, with starting pay ranging from $334 to $375 a month, supplemented by overseas allowances and offering six weeks of paid home leave in the United States between each two-year tour of duty." How does one qualify for such a position in the Foreign Service? Basically, Foreign Service secretaries, with beginning salaries of $4,495 annually ,must type 50 words a minute and take shorthand at 96 . Stenographers starting at an annual salary of $4,010 must type at 50 and take shorthand at 80 words a minute. Communications clerks, with the same starting .salary as stenographers, must type 45 words a minute. Preference for the communications clerk position is given .to male applicants. All must be at least 21 years of age, high school graduates with office experience, single with no dependents, in excellent health, and American citizens for at least five years. In order to qualify for positions in the Department of State in Washington, D.C., they must be at least 18, and American citizens in good health. A typist must have a speed of 40 words a minute and a stenographer must type 40 and take shorthand at 80 words a minute. Beginning salaries range from $3,500 to $4,345 annually. Interviews will be conducted in Philadelphia from M arch 20 through March 30, Pennsylvania Employment Service Office, 1218 Chestnut Street, 9 :00 a.m. to 4 :00 1 p.m., Monday through Friday; Wednesdays, until 7:00 p.m.; and Saturday, March 25, until 12 noon.

"Patents have been issued for filtered glass, filtered gas, filter tip pens, and the ever-present filter tip cigarettes. "An even more serious type of filtering is carried out by the patriotic ·societies, religious groups, and special interest cliques who regulate the press, .television, and radio to filter away the undesirable. Communications media must express the safe, the sound, the right viewpoint. Indelicate thoughts, unpretty language, and tabooed topics are filtered out - they must not be discussed and debated before the easily offended American public. "Where and how ·often may one hear an unbiased television discussion of socialized medicine, of recent improvements within Red China, of birth control, or of euthanasia? "Our educational system which also reflects the 'filtering' trend of our culture indoctrinates young and growing minds with the values and mores o four society. And through the process of public school education the student gets the impression that it is b etter to study and have unquestioning faith in the principles of 'our two-party system,' of 'Christianity', of the 'American Way' than to examine the 'undesirable ideologies,' the 'unChristian' philosophies, the 'unsound' ideas · for truth. "Castroism, Communism, Socialism, agnosticism, atheism, Hinduis, Mohammedism, or the beliefs of the classical philosophers can offer no wor thwhile values for the right way of life - the American, the Christian way. "Do you feel uncomfortable, offended, resentful .a t the mere mention of these ·isms?" If so, you may be a victim of filterism. "The searching mind, the open mind - the mind not conditioned to the automatic acceptance of the good and the true as directed by our society - retains its individual identity, its awareness of a multiplicity of choice, and its stimulation from a challenging and exciting world. " Yet the realization of an open and inquiring mind is a major goal of higher education - to teach the student to think for himself and not be merely a stereotyped record, a mimic, an elaborate filtering machine. "Or is what 'They' say correct after all ? - That questioning the 'traditional truths', the 'eternal truths' and looking for other answers; other explanations, and by Joyce Cary This novel is the final part of Joyce Cary's trilogy consisting of Herself Surprised, To Be A Pilgrim, and The Hurse's Mouth. The trilog y tells the stories of three people, the engaging amoralist Sara Monday, her eccentric lover Thomas Wilcher, and the renegade artist Gulley Jimson. Each of the characters relates events from his own viewpoint and familiarity with the trilogy increases one's appreciation of the individual novels. . In The Horse's Mouth we meet Gulley Jimson, a delightful cut-up who lives to paint. At sixty-five he has the freshness and candor of a child. His days are spent "borrowing" painting materials from the local store in addition to evading the police. His frequ ent visits to the prison are spent in the spiritual companionship of his erstwhile inspiration, Billy Blake. Sara Monday, his former lover, is an old coquette who still puts LITYLE MAN ON CAMPUS THE HORSE'S MOUTH Gulley in a flutter on occasion. Much of the novel reverts to Gulley's memories of the days when he and Sara lived, loved and created ar.t together. At that time Gulley pr oduced his finest work. But the present finds him frustrated in his attempts to paint. His mind overflows with ideas, yet he lac,ks the money and materials to put them down on canvas. Cary gives us the picture of an artist. Gulley's whole life is art. If he has a piece of paper, he begins to sketch; if he finds a good wall he begins to paint. He is perfectly amoral, inconsiderate and delightful. He is not a paper character but an alive being-type artist. Sara also is a renegade. She is naive and calculating, thoroughly b elievable and most endearing. Cary's genius for creating real people is well illustrated. His character s become an art of the r eader's memory pattern, as if they w ere next door neighbors.

The jazz concert will consist of two full hours of contemporary jazz renditions of original compositions and "old time" favorites. Brent O'Connell, president of the Sophomore Class which is sponsoring the affair, and general chairman, has announced that it will begin at 8:30 p.m. Cooperation Planned In Areas of Interest The Student Govei·nment was host to King's Student Council on Monday night. The joint meeting was held to diiscuss areas of mutual -interest and areas where cooperation between the two colleges could be improved. It was ·ei:nphasized that the colleges cooperate in various areas at the present time, these areas including the debating tournaments, the chemical societies, the I.C.G., and .the library exchange program. Tl).e main topic of discussion during the evening centered around the resumption of King's-Wilkes athletic competition. Neil George of King's gave the history of the existing controversy as he understood it. It was decided that the conflict at the time of the break o'f athletic relationships between the colleges was based chiefly on the fact that King's did not then belong to the Middle Atlantic Conf erence and was not governed by the same rules to which Wilkes adhered. _ It was then pointed out that · · K1ng's has since become a member _of the Middle Atlantic Conference and is governed by the same rules that Wilkes follows. The problem of the double standard is thereby alleviated. : The question of damages caused by over-zealous s t u d e n t s was raised. The consensus of the King's students seemed to be that damages dii.d not create a serious problem; Wilkes students were less optimistic on this issue. lt was suggested "that; should competition be resumed, the students of both schools be reminded of their role in maintaining a reasonable calm. Bill Davis moved that a mutual recommendation be presented to both admiillistrations suggesting that athletic competition be resumed. Dick Buckley of King's -seconded the motion on the resolution. The resolution was passed unanimously. Other questions discussed by the group included: the possibility of a joint jazz concert, the functions of the respective student governments, the method of representing the · freshman class before class elections, areas of cooperation for community services, and the possibility of acquiring joint speakers. ·W ilkes' Student Government will travel to King's for a second joint meeting some time during the month of May. Kdngsmen attending the meeting included: Frank Harrison, Student Council -president; Bob McDonald, Student Council secretary and Senior Class president; Jim Grutko, Student Council treasurer; Douglas Kerans, Junior Class president; Neil George, Junior representative; Dick Buckley, Sophomore Class president; Vince Oina, Sophomore Class president; Bill Rooney, Freshman Cla:ss president; Howard Fedrick, Freshman representative; and Bernie Grzyb, editor of the Crown.

I The Dave Brubeck Quartet consists of Paul Desmond, Joe Morello, and Gene Wright, in addition ,t o Brubeck. The group has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Symphony Hall, Newport Jaz·z Festival, and New York Jazz Festival. The quartet has also played at such famous night clubs as Birdland, Blue Note, Storyville, and Town Casino. The repertoire of the group includes numerous contemporary jazz selections and "old time" favorites including "Indigo Blues", "Strange Meadowlark", "Swanee River", "Three to Get Ready", "Lonesome River", "Camptown Races' and "Old Man River". The group has made tours in Turkey, India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq. Besides the various foreign countries, they have been to various college and unli.versity campuses throughout the nation. Dave Brubeck, the originator of the group, began as a concert pianist. However, the main product of the artist is jazz. He was one of the jazz stars chosen to salute Duke Ellington at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1958. One of his achievements us his ability to blend three cultures in some of his music-the formalism of classical western music, freedom of jazz improvisation, and the complex pulse of American folk music. He has even used a Turkish folk rhythm. His background as a concert pianist has affected the harmony of the group. However, it has been said by some critics that some of Brubeck's piano solos seem so far removed from melody and harmony that one doubts whether any return is possible. Brubeck started with a trio, but when Paul Desmond added his alto sax to the group, it became known as the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Desmond and Brubeck first met while they were in the army. After the war they met again in San Francisco and worked together. Their musical ideas blended so well that they have been generally recognized as one of the finest of jazz artists dn the use of counterpoint. Joe Morello, drummer for the Quartet, began his career with the Johnny Smdth Quintet. Later he worked with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, and joined Brubeck in October of 1956. He is considered a keen wit by the group and he hails from Springfield, Mass. The newest member of the Brubeck staff is Gene Wright, who joined the group in January, 1958. He joined the group in time for the U. S. State Department tour of the Middle East. Gene is considered an excellent 'Bunny Brawl' Is Theme of Education Club Pre-Easter Dance The last dance before the Easter vacation will be the 'Bunny Brawl', sponsored by the Education Club, in the gymnasium tonight from 9 to 12 p.m. Eleanor Brehm, chairman of the decorations committee, has announced that the gymnasium will be decorated in the Easter motif of gold and purple.

The Quartet tries to blend the practices of serious music with those of jazz. They improvise on harmony and rhythm as well as melody. Except for the set beginnings and endings, the players improvise wiith freedom. Owen Francis and Ted Begun, cochairmen of arrangements for the affair, announced that the seating capacity of 3200 persons will be provided 1n the gymnasium. Other arrangements have been made for the co-operation of the city police and fire departments. The police will supervise the parking situation.

The women of Wilkes have voted to organize an Associated Women Students group on campus. This move was made at the special women's assembly held last Tuesday in the First Presbyterian Clubhouse. Associated Women Students has as its objective uniting the wonien of the college through self-government and the enlarging of their general education. This would be accomplished through various boards whose members would be selected by the women themselves. The organization also hopes to stimulate the interest of the women of the local communities in the college, and provide women students with the benefits of community work. XIIXIXXXJXXXIIIXXXXXXIXJ Dear Editor: Tonight one of my roommates went to an oratorio practice in Gies Hall and brought home a copy of the February 24 Beacon. My compliments on an excellent edition. You seem to have achieved something which is the aim of all college papers but also a very elusive goal a paper which draws reader interest as a magnet draws a row of pins. Your editorial was timely and hit hard at something which might be a tender spot within your own institution, yet its objective presentation avoided any possible offense. The editorial on King's vs. Wilkes was also timely, especially since Scranton will no longer provide the opposition for K,ing's "traditional rivalry" football game. I have seen and heard of the antics of both colleges over the "traditional" games and agree that unless a more mature attitude is displayed, King's and Wilkes are bett er without changing the status quo. The news articles were interest-ing even to me, a non-Wilkes student, so I am sure they were interesting to the members of your own student body. The letter to the editor provided an added feature which I enjoyed as much as your other feature articles. The "Ode on a Coffee Urn" was as good a take-off on Pope as I have read recently. S.ince our editorial positions run from February to February, I no longer get .the opportunity to read the Beacon each week. This is the first one I have read in several weeks and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good luck to you and your staff on your future issues and keep up the good work.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Student Activities Survey to Be Made by Evaluation Committee I Martha Menegus When time permits she enjoys reading, knitting, and an occasional set of tennis. "Marty", who lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Menegus of 143 Lakeview Avenue, Clifton, New Jersey, ,i s a 1957 graduate of the C1ifton High School where she was a member of the National Honor Society, sergeant of Majorettes, . secretary of the band, and a member of the mathematics club, and Girls' Athletic Association. Coming to Wilkes in the fall of 1957, "Marty" quickly became active in campus life and was the recipient of the Women of WHkes Award. This :is an award which goes to the freshman girl with the highest scholastic average for the year. She has held a leadership scholarship for her four years here at the college and has been a Dean's List student. She was recently named to Who's Who Among Students of American Colleges and Universities. A resident of McClintock Hall since her matriculation here at the college, she was this year elected dormitory president. Her present position as secretary to the senior class is a fitting climax for a girl who has served on her class executive council for the past three years, and as secretary for the Student Government during her sophomore and junior years. She has also served as a secretary and vice-president for the Theta Delta Rho sorority. In answer to what she thinks of Wilkes, "Marty" remarked that she found her courses very good and well-rounded, because they tended to give even the business students a good background in English and liberal arts. She expressed her appreciation for the influence and encouragement she has received from many of her instructors. The biggest thrill of her college life, she feels, was the fact that she was able to make .the Dean's List in her first semester here by knuckling down and applying herself. "Marty" expressed the fact that she had observed much growth and many changes for the better here at Wilkes in four years as a student. She hopes that dt will always stay relatively small so that it may retain its friendly atmosphere in which students can get more attention and become more (continued on page 4) �Wil.I{f.S COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 24, 1961 Colonel Netmen Strong; Anticipate Best Season, List Twelve Meets Rosen Gains Nalional Recognilion; Leads NCAA, NAIA al Foul Line Tornados Trounce Screwballs; Gulterduslers Slop Playboys The 1961 edition of ,t he Wilkes Away 3:00 18 Lycoming tennis team has begun its drills in 22 Dickinson Kirby Park with a promising turnHome 2-00 out of freshmen and other newHome 3:00 26 Su~que_hanna comers to bolster the returning Away 1:00 29 L~a1:on Val. lettermen.

The Screwballs were thus dumped into fifth place from their tied position for second with the Gutterdusters, who split with the Playboys to gain second place. In the Tornados' whitewashing of the Screwballs, Bob Hewitt and Jerry Chisari ck led the Tornado attack with near identical scores as they posted 200-490 and 169-488 respectively. Ed Clause was high man for the losing Screwballs with 190-458. In other competition the Boozers downed the Ebonites, 3-1, and the Alley Cats defeated the Pinbusters, \ 3-1.

Of course, all officers may apply for pilot and navigator training if they meet the eligibility requirements. There will always be a need for piloted aircraft. And it is foreseeable that in your working lifetime, there will be piloted spacecraft-piloted and navigated by Air Force officers. But right now, there is also a big future for college-trained Air Force officers on the ground. New and exciting technical jobs are opening up. Important administrative positions must be filled as World War II officers move into retirement. How can you-a college student-become an Air Force officer? First, there's Air Force ROTC. Then for college graduates, men and women in certain fields, there is Officer Training School. The graduate of its three-month course wins a commission as a sec• ond lieutenant. Other ways are the Navigator Train-· ing program, and the Air Force Academy. Some benefits that go with being an Air Force officer. Starting salary plus allowances compare with the average in equivalent civilian jobs. Then there's free medical and dental care, thirty-day vaca• tion, the chance to win graduate degrees at Air Force expense, and liberal retirement provisions. No, Air Force officers do not need wings to move up. There's plenty doing on the ground. Perhaps you could be one of these young executives in blue. Ask your local Air Force Recruiter. Or write, Officer Career Information, Dept.

Howie Williams bowled a big 199-569 for the Boozers and was assisted by Butch Kaplan with 190-521. Dave Sokira had a 190502 for the defeated Ebonites. In the Pinbusters' loss to the Alley Cats, Frank DiGennari rolled a 195 and 189 in the second and third games and finished with a 530 series as his team came from behind to down the Pinbusters. Emil P etrasek was high man for the losing team with a 199-535, the highest total of the night. Despite the fact that they split with the league-leading Playboys, the Gutterdusters gained the unique distinction of being the only team so far this season to win more than one point from the red-hot Playboys. The 'dusters won the final two games but could not overcome a 112 pin lead established by the Playboys in the first game. The high man for the Gutterdusters was Paul Bankovich with 191-478 while Joe Shemanski fired a 201531 for the Playboys. W L Pct.

After losing to Bloomsburg State College two weeks ago, the Colonel keglers came back strong last Sunday to defeat the Scranton Jewish Community Center Collegians at Jimmy's Lanes in Wilkes-Barre. In the Bloomsburg-Wilkes contest, the Teachers consistency overcame a fine 952 single game effort by the visitors. Bloomsburg's team total of 2599 was spearheaded by Russell's 205-559 and Criswell's 199-550. The other scores were Weber, 197-527; Gardner, 20,3-518; and Dantis, 162-445. Bloomsburg had ,t hree games over the 850 mark while Wilkes started very slowly, came roaring back, and then faded again. The middle game of 952 was the highest of the year for the Wilkes team as both leadoff man Joe Shemanski and anchorman Dave Sokira each topped the 200 mark. The Colonels' individual scores for the match were Watkins 182-512 • Pe,t rasek 180-509· Sh~manski '202504; Sokira, 2i6-475· and Chisarick, 167-486. ' Last Sunday the Colonels balanced their season's bowling record at the expense of Scranton's Jewish Community Center Collegiate team. Bill Watkins was the hero of the encounter as he put .together games of 235, 207, and 176 for an allseason record high of 617. Assisting Watkins' winning efforts was Dave Sokira with a 191538, Emil Petrasek with 205-508, Jerry Chisarick rolled a 171-454 and Joe Shemanski bowled a 145427. The Colonel pinmen again cracked the 900 mark, this time a 904 in the first game. Their 2544 three game effort proved to be too much for the hapless Scranton contingent. The Scranton squad had a great deal of trouble getting used to the alleys. Their last game, a respectable 880, was ,t he only game they managed to break 800. The visiting Collegians were led by Weinstein's 184-527 while Germaine rolled a 174-475, Fichter a 214-463, Reis bowled a 179-445, while Book came through with a 190-470. The Collegians have challenged the Colonels to a rematch, which will take place the Sunday after Easter in Scranton. Guard Leads Nation In Foul-Shooting With 91.3 Percentage Harvey Rosen Athletics at Wilkes got another pat on the back this week as Harvey Rosen was crowned King of the Foul Line. The scrappy sophomore guard gained national prominence as he was named leader in both the NCAA and NAIA ratings for his foul shooting percentage. Harvey made 105 free throws of 115 attempts to end the season with a remarkable 91.3 percentage from the foul line. This feat is further lustered by the news release of the National Basketball Association which named Bill Sharmen of the Boston Celtics as Ruler of the Free Throws with an 89.4 percentage. The best game the 6'1" guard registered from the foul line was in the season's finale against Rider when he dropped in twelve of 13 attempts to give the Colonels their necessary margin for victory. In 14 games Rosen had a spotless r~ord from the fo1;1l line and in eight contests he mISsed only one [ "charity thr?w·". , , 1'.'oul shootmg 1sn t Harvey s only claim to fame as he led the Colonel basketeers in scoring with a 17.9 point average.

ALONG THE BOOKSHELF Conlroversial Works Head Library's List of New Books by Gloria Zaludek Among the new books which the library has added to its collection of '·Reading and Enjoyment" is one which has produced cries of anguish and denial from many proponents of· our national ·system of values - 1'he Waste Makers by Vance Packard. ln this startling expose', the author shows how waste has become a virtue, and questions the morality . and economic validity of a system · that .practices "planned obsolescence" - artificially shortening the useful life of products. On the more practical aspect of money earning, the library offers a book entitled Hand Weaving for ' Pleasure and Profit by Harriette J. Brown. Written clearly and simply, this book introduces the reader to every operative aspect of twoharness-weaving, enabling an in. dustrious weaver to earn money and work his way through college! An undoubtedly controversial book concerned with one of the leading writers of our time, William l!'aulKner, is Quest for Failure by Walter J. Slatoff. The author contends that Faulkner is fascinated by a certain kind of relationship, one involving unresolved conflict and extreme tension. The deliberate ambiguity and irresolution in Faulkner's artistic intentions and t emperament engage him ,in a quixotic quest for failure. The Life of Hilaire Belloc, the sailor and the good companion, the violent individualist, the man who dared to prophesy the decline of all good things, the versatile genius (poet, satirist, historian) _ here is the authorized biography of Belloc by one who knew him, Robert Speaight. This is the story of a crook _ a characterless character which serves to put the reader on his guard against specious acquaintances. In Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour, R. S. Surtees, the author who fears no one and rolls no logs, leads a r eader into an atmosphere as brisk as one of his hunting mornings, sharp and raw. Sur,t ees' book is highly unflattering to everything in sight - faces, trees, greasy plough _ but it is indeed a thoroughly bracing experience to a reader who appreciates a masterpiece quite different from ordinary fare. 1 Large WC Delegation To Attend Annual Model -PERSONALS UN General Assembly April Showers Ball to Be held at American Legion :::Sprmg scenes will provide the bacKground for--the April Showers Bau on April 14.

In a move similar to that frequently seen at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the twelve Wilkes students who represented the views of the Union of South Africa at the Annual Model General Assembly, stormed out of the assembly hall when intolerable economic sanctions were placed against their adopted country, because of its apartheid policies. The Wilkes chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations was one of sixty-three groups representing colleges from all over the Northeastern part of the country. This year's assembly was held at the Hotel Commodore and the United Nations Headquarters in New York on March 24, 25, and 26. The first meeting of the assembly took place at the United Nations headquarters itself and was climaxed by an address given.by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who is now serving as a delegate to the United Nations from the United States. The group was later broken into smaller committees which discussed various current problems concerning the United Nations. . . The Wilkes delegat.10n. was hea_ded by _Gary DeHope Jumor educat10n maJor. Other members who attended the MGA were: George Watson, Sally Zupka, Howard Hall, John Moore, ~onrad Wagner, R?bert Bond, Elame Adams, Josephine Chopya~, Jeanette Picko~owsk~, Gar~ Siegal, and Jerry ~hilanski. Advisors were. Dr.. Broms. Kaslas and Mr. Francis Pinkowski. . At the club's last meeting the effectiveness of the organization and delegation to the MGA was discussed. . Election of officers for the forthcoming year were held. LOST and FOUND NOTICE An irradescent raincoat was taken by mistake from the Bru·beck Concert Saturday night.

Elected president for the year 1961-62 was Gary DeHope; vicepresident, Jerry Shilanski, freshman, liberal arts major; treasurer, Gary Siegel, freshman, political science major; secretary, Elaine Adams, sophomore, psychology major. After being elected to the presidency, DeHope spoke to the group outlining tentative plans for club activity next year. H e called for closer cooperation between the campus group and the local American Association for the United Nations. He also expressed a desire to arrange for more speaking . engagements and other outside activities for the club. A committee was appointed to investigate ways of increasing the group's membership for next year. Next. week's meeting will be held in Parrish Hall where Dr. Kaslas will speak to the group concerning the reports and comments he received at the advisors meeting during the Model General Assembly.

This was followed by selections from the Brubeck "Ja~z lmpressions of Eurasia" album. "Brandenburg Gate", a zestful type of melody is an example of the skill Mr. Brubeck has to intertwine a classical Bach scale with progressive jazz chords.

After an intermission the group ran through an arrangement of the W. C. Handy masterpiece, "St. Louis Blues". A Desmond written piece "Take Five" highlighted the relatively brief second half of the concert as Morello remained alone on stage for almost fourteen minutes, his drums drawing loud audience reaction as he brilliantly changed beat and tone, time and time again. Throughout the program, Mr. Brubeck's graceful fingers discovered many chord combinations, Paul Desmond captured the audience with his improvisation, and the sidemen, Wright and Morello, provided constant beat patterns. The overall result was highly favorable.

Roaring Twenlies Theme Prevails Al Tonight's Jaycees Dance The Inter-Donnitory Council has "adopted" a child from Athens, Greece. Polyzoes or Zoes, as he is called for short, is a sturdy and active boy, who always gets the highest grades in every class he attends. This intelligent and diligent child is now the foremost pupil in the 5th grade of his Grammar School. His family's poverty has influenced this resourceful boy and made him more eager and impatient to make his way in life. His dream is to go through the University to become a scientist and more particularly to pursue a course in atomic studies. Dr. Farley has agreed to award a full-tuition scholarship including mom and board to Zoes when he reaches college age. His transportation costs will be paid by the IDC. Until he is ready to come to Wilkes, the IDC will support his secondary education in Greece with a yearly contribution which totals $150. This most promsiing boy looks smart in his picture, wearing a sweater, knitted by his mother, and khaki shorts, which he wears in the winter. He did not keep his coat on, through a certain innate sense of dignity, for it is very much the worse for wear. Zoes is very badly in need of proper clothing . Because of his great need for clothing the IDC is holding a drive to begin today. Contributions of new or unused cotton or woolen garments, wool yarn, cotton or woolen dry goods, school supplies, Polyzoes O. Marrommatis and inexpensive toys will be grate- - - - - - - - -- - - ----ofully appreciated. The IDC will have a box inside the main entrance of the cafeteria for deposit of these contributions. Your cooperation is requested in this drive which will last for two weeks.

All the fabulous fun of the glittering "2Q's" will be brought to life by Herbie Green, playing music reminiscent of that wild era of prohibition, gambling, and girls. by Mary Frances Barone The incoming Freshmen will be honored at a tea sponsored by Theta Delta Rho on Saturday, April 29 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. It will be held in the Commons, second floor. Chairman Maryann Wilson stated that the purpose of the tea is to informally acquaint the incoming freshmen with the campus life at Wilkes.

Other chairmen and their committees assisting Miss Wilson are the following: J eanne Mattern and Rowena Simms, tea table; Barbara Piledggi and Leona Baiera, table decorations; Carol Thomas, Lois Agostini, June Patrylak, and Mary Lou Fraley, refreshments; Mary Fr:ances Barone, publicity; and Judy Powell, Carol Brushkoski, Rita Minelli, and Judy Barger, invitations. by Neil Castagnaro by Mary Frances Barone Wilkes representatives left yesterday afternoon by car for Hampton Institute, Virginia for the weekend. The exchange program is an annual affair between Wilkes and Hampton Institute. It is held to promote better understanding of differences in college life. The motor route which the students will follow consists of approximately 450 miles. The grour, will pass through the Civil War country. The guests will stay in the dormitories of Hampton. The program usually involves a special dance on Friday evening, attendance at Saturday morning classes, and a trip to Williamsburg, Virginia on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday morning, the exchange students will attend the chapel program. The AU-Negro chorus of Hampton Institute will perform. It is one of the best choral groups in the nation. Many of the buildings on the campus of Hampton have been financed from the proceeds of the concert tours of the chorus. The exchange students include Mike Armstrong, Cynthia Hagley, Ted Toluba,, Peter Greenberg, Ed Reese, Bob Amey, Nancy Tinklepaugh, Claire Handler, Nancy Palaz.z ola, Andrea Crease, and Myrna Fischman. The group will be chaperoned by Mr. George Elliot and Miss Mildred Gittins. by .Gloria Zaludek Theta Delta Rho Plans Tea in Honor of Incoming Frosh Class At last Monday's Student Government meeting, a discussion on the purpose and success of Friday evening college dances was entertained. It was pointed out that these affairs have degenerated from what they were originally intended to be - social functions. They have instead, it was noted, become very casual gatherings of both college age and high school age persons. Following this discussion which is to be continued after further investigation, a resolution was passed concerning this situation. (The text of this resolution can be found in the editorial of this issue.) The treasurer reported existing surpluses in both the Student Government account and the Extracurricular Activities account. Special committee reports included those from the Constitution Committee, the Student Organization Evaluation Committee, the Student Handbook Committee, the Student Government Dinner Committee, and the Elections Committee. Ted Begun of the Constitution Committee reported that the Constitution of the Class of 1964 was accepted as corrected, and that there were no other documents pending before his committee at present. Mike Bianco of the Student Evaluation Committee reported that he had a good turnout of volunteers for service on this committee from the student body. At -p resent this group is in the process of compiling and analyzing the data which they have obtained from two of their own to facilitate a more detailed, up-to-date evaluation of campus organizations and student leaders.

Among the most noted. is that of decreasing attendance over a eriod of years at the weekly dances in the gymnasium. This has presented a challenge to the organizations holding these dances. ::,ome have worKed with unusual themes, a popular musical group, and other drawing cards. For the most part, this type of ana1r is rmher successiul in attracting our college students. On the other hand., organizations have turned to musical and aavenising gimmicks to ctraw in high school students. We can not comp1eLely 0bJect to having tne local students on our campus for these social events. It gives them the opportunity to see one tacet 01 college lite which tney may participate in one day. however, we can not allow some of these students to attend. our dances if they come with the attitude of getting away wim conauct that would not be accepted at their own schools. !-"or example, the chaperones at a recent Friday night dance, and some 01 our smdems, were forced to ask several people to leave becouse of their unbecoming conduct. They were met wim a very belligerent attimde and subjected to needless humilimion. lncidems ot this nature are not about to improve the chances 01 obmining chaperones for these dances. ~mdent C..-overnment members, discussing the situation at this week's meeting, moved that: "The Student Government go on record as encouraging all organizations to use utmost discretion in holding social evems, and conduct these events on a mature level with the foremost purpose being to provide a social outlet for Wilkes students and their guests in accord with standards of Wilkes men and women, and that sport jackets be recommended for dances," W nether or not this recommendation will prevent any future disturbances depends on the "discretion" of the group sponsoring a sports dance. The last part of this motion is meant to discourage sloppy apparel on the part of students because people are prone to have more mature behavior when dressed properly. It was not the opinion of the body to prevent organizations from having special themes which encourage various costumes. It is our opinion that this motion should serve as a springboard for further consideration and re-evaluation of Student Government policies on the social calendar, with particular emphasis on the weekly dances. STUDENT SKETCH Letters to the Editor · · • Senior 0 De-:e ~~i: :embers of the Wilkes College Collegiate Council for the United Nations wish to report to all those concerned that the recently attended Model Gen eral Assembly, held in New York on March 24, 25, and 26 was a successful endeavor and very beneficial to our organization. We also wish to thank the administration and all those who made it possible for our group to attend this assembly. Their aid was greatly appreciated. Our deepest gratitude goes to Dr. Bronis Kaslas and Mr. Francis Pinkowski, our advisors, who guided and counseled us, unselfishly giving of themselves so that we might benefit from the experience of such a meeting. Respectfully, Wilkes College Collegiate Council for the United Nations · Editor, the Beacon Dear Sir: I would like to take this opportunity to express publicly my thanks to those people who helped make the Dave Brubeck concert the success that it was. The heads of the various committees: Mark Levy, Ronald Sebolka, -Conrad Wagner, Owen Frances, and Ted Begun devoted themselves to this project. To me, they were all . a chairman could wish or hope for: de_d icated, unselfish, original, and helpful. I would like to thank Mr. Clewell from PRO and Mr. Carter from the gymnasium for their help. To Barry Gin tel and Warren Hartman, I am very grateful. I woµld like to thank the students of Wilkes for their cooperation and our fine newspaper, the Beacon, for the coverage the concert received. A glance at the college calendar reminds us that there are Brent O'Connell Chairman only four weeks of classes remaining in this semester. It marks Students Asked To Participate a time when all of us are kept busy preparing for tests and the grand climax of the school year, final examinations. More than this, however, these last four weeks are also a busy time on the college activities calendar. The seniors and terminal students are hurriedly preparing for graduation, the Student Government Cinderella Ball is slated for the night of May 12, many campus organizations are planning banquets and final get-togethers, and numerous baseball games and other activities adorn the schedule for the latter part of the spring semester. Three of the four classes here at the college met yesterday for the primary purpose of nominating officers for the coming school term. On Tuesday, the classes will meet again to enable the nominees to acquaint their classmates with the qualifications which they possess for the offices to which they are aspiring. Despite the heavy burden placed upon students by scholastic and extracurricular activities at this time of the year, it is the duty of each member of the student body to be present at his respective class meeting on Tuesday and to make an intelligent decision regarding his selection of class officers for the coming year. It is also essential to the welfare of the student body that representatives be selected who are intelligent, reliable, and capable to serve on Student Government. Careful consideration should be given to the selection of officers and only after this is done should the student feel that he has fulfilled his obligation to his fellow students and to the college. Election day is Friday, April 28. It is indeed a busy time, but it is also a time when it becomes more important than ever that we do not neglect our responsibilities.

Dear Mr. Editor: It goes without saying that Wilkes profited enormously when Stark Hall _opened for classes in September, 1957. It offers to students in biology, chemistry and physics modern and well-equipped classrooms and laboratories. The conveniences both lecture halls offer need not be mentioned, since they are so obvious to all. Wilkes is honored to have a man like Admiral · -Stark on its Board of Directors, arid to be sure, his efforts made our science building possible. Out of gratitude to him, for his many services, his portrait is placed in this building for all to see. Some jackass, who most obviously is maladjusted and in need of help, drew a mustache · under the nose of the Admiral causing this once beautiful and expensive portrait to become marred. I hope the person or persons responsible for this act feel some remorse I do, and I am sure that I am not alone in this r espect . Yours truly, H erbert M. Kline (Continued from last week) Agra, like any of the former Moghul cities, has a huge walled~in fort, with marble palaces, gorgeous halls, mosques, gardens-, government buildings, usually erected near a river. Many of these Moghul forts were abandoned because the river changes its course - as the capricious Indian waters are in the habit of doing - or the water supply died out. Built on a little slope, all in red sandstone with marble dressing and intricate carving over doors and windows, every fort is a tourist attraction. We have seen a great number of them never stopping to marvel at the colorful past, even more amazing by contrast with the bleakness of today. Otherwise the city of Agra is no different than any other city in India. But Agra has the Taj Mahal. Standing in the middle of wellgroomed gardens, the Taj Mahal is a wonderous marble mausoleum erected in the 17th century by Coed to Continue Study In Biology Research Field by Jerry Shilanski The science department here at the college may not have a zoological park, but tucked away in a little comer of Stark Hall are twelve of the best fed and cared for rabbits that ever went to college. And who do they have to thank for their tender treatment? Non other than a senior coed by the name of Arlene Gallia, a biology major who has emphatically stated that she loves every bit of bunny in the building. However, she is a true scientist in every sense and has resigned herself to the fact that her charges have but one fate. Arlene's rabbits are destined to cooperate with Dr. Sheldon Cohen, associate professor of biology and a local allergy specialist on research in the field of immunology. Dr. Cohen is conducting research here at the college on grants from the national government and the Heart Fund. Arlene has been one of his student research assistants since last May. In talking with this rabbit-raising coed, this reporter sensed a great admiration for Dr. Cohen and his work, which has evidently influenced her decision to continue working in the research field after graduation. In this interview Arlene explained that at one time she considered the art field but was quickly converted to her real love, biology, after seeing the facilities of the newly-completed science building. She implied that at first she was not too keen on the idea of coming to Wilkes, but now her attitude has completely changed. She emphasized this by remarking, "I Arlene Gallia - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -,)'· am in love with Wilkes and feel that I wouldn't be satisfied at any Shah Jahan to his favorite wife other college.

Finnegan Award. The award was given to Bianco by Governor David Lawrence at a ceremony held in the State Capitol at Harrisburg. As holder of the award Bianco has the opportunity to work in a government office for the summer. He has received offers from both the governor's office and the Secretary of Labor and Industry but is, as of now, undecided as to his choice. Nearly one hundred students from colleges all over the state competed for the award, which is given annually by the James A. Finnegan Fellowship Foundation. This foundation was established in 1958 for two purposes: to honor the name of James A. Finnegan who at the time of his death in 1958 was one of the outstanding political leaders in the state, and to encourage young men and women of college age to follow careers in government and politics. There are a number of criteria used for picking the recipient of the award: scholarship, extracurricular activities, recommendations from faculty and college officials, and an essay regarding some aspect of the political life of James A. Finneg an. The award consists of a six weeks paid internship in some governmental or political office with a weekly stipend of $100 Michael Bianco a week. Wilkes students who are inter- 6----- - -- - - - - - - - - - ested in careers in g overnment or politics are urged to enter next year's competition. Peace Corps Sends Forms for Application . · By Interested Students The Beacon has received Peace Corps volunteer questionnaires .. Peace Corps headquarters has mailed samples of the questionnaires to presidents of 2,000 col. leegs and universities for campus distribution. Those who have written either to the Peace Corps office in Washington or to the President will automatically receive questionnaires directly in the near future. These questionnaires are also available at local Post Offices and will be distributed by the United States Department of Agriculture Directors of State Agricultural Extension Services for relay to their county agents. The questionnaire is four pages long and consists of 28 questions. It also asks prospective volunteers for a list of references. An instruction sheet is also attached. Areas covered by the questionnaire include: Education, job experience, proficiency in languages, technical skills, availability for Peace Corps service, special foreign area knowledge, health, military service, avocations, hobbies and athletic participation, organizational activity and leadership, and geographical preference for assignment. Charles Johns Accepted As Delegate to Summer Convention in Europe Convinced that he had no chance of being accepted, Charles Johns almost missed a six-week vacation in Europe next summer because he couldn't make up his mind to send in his application. A sophomore majoring in music education, Johns finally mailed his application late. Result? The application was approved and Johns will attend this summer's convention of the Methodist World Council in Oslo, Norway, as pne of two delegates from this area. Johns was graduated from Pittston High School in 1959 where he was active in the music organizations and the Oratorio Society and vice-president of the senior class. He has shown himself a leader both on campus and off participating in the band, the wind ensemble, the Chamber Music Group, and Oriental Theme Set For Tomorrow's Dance At Weckesser Hall by Cynthia Hagley A movement in space will occur tomorrow night at precisely 9 p.m. in W eckesser Hall. This is the hour when the men of Butler and the women of W eckesser will transport a little section of Wilkes to that faraway port of Shanghai. The social rooms of the coeds' dormitory will become a "Shanghai Shac-k " with bamboo slats, fish nets, and assorted Shanghai characteristics. Those in attendance may dress casually. Any type of sailor's apparel, and other appropriate costumes are suggested. The hosts and hostesses will serve mixed fruit drinks from a bar to further add to the oriental atmosphere. All this for a paltry 49 cents (they know that sailors are poor). Music for the evening will be rendered by Tom Kanos and his quartet, a group of our own campus students. Butler and W eckesser h a v e planned in great detail to make this a different and casual evening so, if you are looking for any outof-the-way place with an out-ofthis-world atmosphere to take you away from it all, bring your friends and swing. Pre-Law Tests Changed Administrators Attend To Include History And Writing Knowledge Philadelphia Area Princeton, N.J., April 14 - In Alumni Meeting the future, prospective law stuby Sam Book Gordon Roberts, Livingston Clewell, and Miss Mildred Gittins recently attended a meeting of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Wilkes College Alumni Association.

Outfl.elder's Blast Sa1·1s . .eld Fen · ce Over Centerfl • At Kingston Stad1um Bob Ontko, s 1 u g gin g center fielder - third baseman on the baseball nine, is this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week". Ontko was cited for his consistent hitting and run-producing bat in the Colonels' MAC contest against Ursinus. The speedy flychaser registered two hits in three trips to the plate and knocked in the Colonels' lone two runs with these timely hits. Figures being what they are, Ontko averaged a run produced every time he got a hit. The hustling senior started the Colonel scoring in the first when he sent a sharp single into left field to score Matt Himlin, last week's recipient of the Athlete award, from third base. This score ;ave the Wilkesmen a temporary ead. In t~e sixth inning O~tko brou~ht the chilled fans to their feet with a mighty b_last over the cen!er field fence. This tremendous drive carried over the 390 foot sign and landed in a Pierce Street market. A Kingston groundkeeper stated after the game that it was one of the longest home runs he has seen at the Kingston High field and had every indication that it would have been a round-trip blow in most major league parks. Ontko's performance in · the Ursinus game wa~ not : all offensive as his ball-hawking tactics robbed at least three Bears pf hits !).nd his shot-gun arm kept the Ursinus base-runners from attempting to take that extra base. Last season the sturdy performer was chosen to be the recipient of the "Outstanding Baseball Player" Award by his teammates. He led the Blue and Gold batsmen in circuit blows and triples and ranked behind Walt Folek in batting percentage. At the annual athletes' banquet held late last month, Marv Antinnes became the first athle1e at Wilkes to win the coveted "Athlete of the Year" award for two consecutive years. In addition to achieving this distinction, Antinnes also duplicated his accomplishment of last year by copping the most valuable player tropnies in football and wrestling, the Gallagher Memorial Award for football and a specia! athletic "honor roll"' award for superior and record-breaking performance in intercollegiate wrestling.

The amiable athlete held down the goalie post for Coach Jim Ferris' soccer forces last fall and was selected to a position on the Middle Atlantic Conference's Second All-Star team. The Elizabethtown soccermen, small college national champions, called Bob the best goalie they faced in regular season competition. This is the "Slugger's" fourth year of varsity baseball competition and was also familiar to college basketball as he wore the Colonel uniform on the hardwoods for two seasons. He is currently student teaching at Coughlin High School and will graduate this June with a B.S. degree in Secondary Education with a major in history. While in high school the Colonel co-captain led the Kingston baseball and basketball squads to league titles. He was chosen honorable mention all-Valley for his endeavors in both sports as a Huskie. The story of this week's "Athlete" seems to circle around his honor-laden athletic endeavors and ; his to~ scholastic grades. Bob is an active member of the Lettermen's Club and Education Club.

The only split of the night came between the first place Playboys and the fourth spot Screwballs. Top spot in the league's high series for the year changed hands as Jerry Chisarick rolled a 609 to dethrone Jerry Zeller, who had previously held the post with a 60·3. These are the only two 600 series in this year's action. Playboys 2, Screwballs 2 The absence of Bill Watkins from the Playboys' lineup was felt as the team lost the first two games but narrowly squeezed by in the third to make an even split. Joe Shemanski led the Playboys with 184-523. Barry Shevchuk's 168-484 helped carry the Screwballs to two wins. Tornados 4, Gutterdusters 0 The Tornados' sweep of four games carried the team from sixth into sole possession of third place. The win was a team effort as all five rolled consistent games several pins over their averages. Chisa- rick had games of 197, 210, and 202 to hit .his league high series. of 609. Paul £ankovich led the Gutterdusters with 504, with close support from Dave Guss with 492. Alley Cats 4, Ebonites 0 The Alley Cats got off to a fast start behind Jerry Zeller's 222 first game and were never threatened as they collected four from the cellar - dwelling Ebonites. This match just barely missed being placed on the books as only three men from each squad showed up for the evening's competition. Roger Rymer was top man for the Ebonites with 170-460. Boozers 4, Pinbusters 0 Howie Williams of the Boozers kept up his torrid bid for top average honors with a big 213-578. Regina Ritzie, the league's top woman bowler, chipped in with 180458. Emil Petrasek, in New York for the All College Tournament, was missed as the high score for his Pinbusters was registered by John Turner at 163-436.

It might be titled "How To Be A College Student" and was taught hy over 1200 students and faculty and administration members of Hampton. They showed our students what it was like to live on a campus that is almost 100 years old and has as much · · · ·t now as 1t · d"d p1oneermg spm 1 th e d ay it was opened . The congeniality with which the students and • their two chaperones were received made everyone feel very much at home. Normal campus activities didn't alter or change because of the presence of other students. On the contrary, since the Hampton campus is rarely without guests, the administration follows the policy of allowing the exchange students to be caught up into the normal stream. of activity.

On Tuesday afternoon the duffers will entertain their counterparts from Mansfield State College at the Fox Hill Country Club in West Pittston. Tee time for this match is also 2 p.m. The golf team, under the watchful eyes of coach Welton Farrar, has emerged this spring as the only spring sport with a winning record thus far. They boast vietories over both Lycoming and Moravian and have been defeated by East Stroudsburg State College. i The opening match, against Stroudsburg, was played in a continual drizzle at Glen Brook CC and saw the squad come out on th~ short end of a 12½ to 5½ score.

The fire-balling righthander hurled a three-hitter to give th e Colonel diamo ndmen th eir first victory of the year as they upset Upsala College, l-O. The lanky pitcher kept th e Vikings off balance with his array of curves and sliders and utilized a blaz,ing faS t ball to set th ree batters down via the strikeout route. Upsala, usually a ha rd -hitting squad, couldn't solve his delivery a nd mustered only three hits, all singles, from Bob th roughout th e game. Fleming loomed as the ace of Coach Dydo's pitching staff at the season's start but was faced with a big "if". During basketball practice early in October, Bob injured his left ankle a nd was forced to th e sidelines. As he hobbled around on crutches the hopes of his pitching for the Blue and Gold this spring grew dim. Soon after having the cast removed from his ankle he started exercising his leg under the watchful eye of Bruce Belding. After weeks of exercises and rubdowns, the ankle grew strong enough to be given the big test. With fingers crossed, he played in the last two intramural basketball contests for Butler Hall and the ankle held up. Bob learned his baseball as a Little Leaguer in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania and moved up through the baseball ranks through Teener, American Legion, and high school ball. While in Hopewell High School Bob twirled a no-hit ball game against Columbia Junction High School for the biggest sporting thrill of his young career. He was also active on the hardwoods and was chosen to the WPIAL Sectional All-Star team during his senior year. The moundsman attended Valley Forge Junior College for two seasons and once again was the leading figure in baseball and basketball. He captained last year's Cadet diamond squad while hurling them to six wins. One of his outstanding performances was a neat twohitter he tossed in shutting out the Blue Knights of Wyoming Seminary. Basketball was also one of his top endeavors and Bob captained the Cadet hoopsters and led the scorers with a 17 point average. This year Bob transferred to Wilkes and is seeking a B.S. in Business Education and is a resident of Butler Hall. Their first win came at the expense of Moravian College at Bethlehem, 13½ to 4½. The squad picked up its second win of the season on Tuesday by downing the Warriors of Lycoming College at Irem Temple CC in Dallas, 17-1.

The diamondmen then return home on Tuesday for a game with the Royals of the University of Scranton scheduled for 3:30 p.m. On 'lhursday the squad is away at Bast Stroudsburg State College for a game at three o'clock. Wednesday saw the team lose to Susquehanna, 5-3, for its fourth loss of the season against just a single win. The game had breezed along as a pitchmg duel for tive innings betore Susquehanna drew first blood in the top of the sixth. Green and Butler singled back to back to put runners at tirst and third and then Blevit laid down a sacrifice bunt to score Green. The Colonels came back strong in their half of the inning when Bob Ontko was hit by Williams' pitch, went to third on Paul Aquilmo's single to left and then scored as he and Aquilino pulled a douole steal. Aquilino scored after being sent to third on an infield out and then going home on a wild ptich. The Crusaders regained the lead by putting across two runs in the top of the seventh on two walks, an error and an intield single. They added a single run in the eighth on pitcher Williams' double to center tield, and then picked up their nnal run in the ninth on four bases on balls. A Colonel rally in the bottom of the ninth was nipped in the bud by Williams' control. Sam Cooper, pinch-hitting for rightfielder DeGuisto, sent a sharp single to deep short, went to second on Hengst's bad throw to first. Kruczek then replaced Cooper at second when Cooper limped in with a thigh injury. Nick Alesandro bounced a shot to Blevit at third who bobbled the ball, allowing Kruczek to score. Williams .then got Yankosky, pinch-hitting for relief pitcher Schwefel, on strikes, and made Walt Folek pop up to end the threat and give the Crusaders the win. The Crusaders managed to collect four hits off righthander Bob Fleming but made use of ten bases on balls. Both pitchers had been breezing along for the first five innings with Fleming holding the Crusaders hitless and allowing only three men to reach base. Errors and walks cost the Colonels the game. The team staged a surprise in East Orange, New Jersey Saturday afternoon by upsetting the host Upsala College nine, 1-0, behind the three-hit shutout pitching of Bob Fleming. The Colonels, winning their first game of the year, scored in the tirst inning and played fine defensive ball the rest of the way in downing a team which earlier in the week had beaten tough Hofstra College. The game's lone tally came in the first inning on a single and a pair of errors. Matt Himlin led off for the Colonels and got on via an error. He went to third on Walt Folek's single and then scored on another error on Bob Ontko's grounder. Folek had been erased when he tried to stretch his single into a double. After such a loud start, the remainder of the game proved to be somewhat disappointing as the two pitchers engaged in a duel. Fleming struck out three and walked five but had fine defensive work behind him. His mates backed him up with five hits, all singles, as the game failed to produce a single extra base hit. One of the outstanding defensive plays of the afternoon was Paul Aquilino's unassisted double play. �Eboniles Shul Dul Playboys; ~ Screwballs Down Pinbuslers, 4-0 -: League Leaders Downed First Time -This Half; Screwballs in Third The only change brought about in the league- standings as a result of Sunday's bowling competition was the Tornados and Screwballs trading positions; the Screwballs blanked the pinbusters, 4-0, while the Tornados defeated the Alley Cats, 3-1.

Last Tuesday's student government election saw close contests for all but one of the available offices; Jim Walters, incwnbent student government treasurer and a three-year representative of the class of 1963, ran unopposed for the office of treasurer. In contests for the other offices, however, it was a different story. Active and able leaders were almost evenly matched in every contest. Carol Thomas, a representative of the class of 1963 and an elementary education major, defeated Ted Begun, a two-year representative of the class of 1963, for the office of secretary. Mike Bianco, a senior majoring in political science, successfully opposed Rick Re~,s. and was elected to the office of vicepresident for the 1961-1962 year. The biggest clash of the election. however, was the tussle for the presidency. Here Al Kishel a one-time president and twice-elected representative of his class (1962) defeated Mike Bianco.

SANE ELECTION The Wilkes College Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy will meet Tuesday, May 9, at noon in Stark 309. Nominations and Elections of officers will be held. BIOLOGY CLUB ELECTION Biology Club elections will be held on Monday, May 8, from 8:00 a.m. to 4 :00 p.m. in room 300 of Stark Hall. The votes of newly elected representatives to the Student Government helped to make the outcome of the election unpredictable. The following new members voted for the first time in Student Government sessions: Bonnie Jenkins and Mark Levy, class of 1963; Richard Burns and Ed Rogalski, class of 1964. Climaxing the elections, Mr. Alfonso Zawadski, Assistant Registrar,_ discussed the presentation of the controversial film, "Operation Abolition". This film, secured for last night's 7 p.m. Stark Hall showing by the Student Government in cooperation with the administration, frankly portrays the actions of a 11 e g e d Communist-inspired rioters at San Francisco sessions of the House Un-American Activities Committee last year. Local showings of this film have elicited calls from area clergymen for objective interpretations of the more controversial scenes by a qualified and detached person familiar with the background of the riots. As the final order of business. it was announced that the final student government meeting will be held at the Carousel Motel. Lorraine Rome, chairman of the May 8, buffet ·dinner-business meeting submitted final plans for the affair. The dinner meeting will cost each member and guest two dollars; the final meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. Roberts, Van Fossen, Chamberlain, Davis Gain Jaycee Awards by Lynne Dente Four members of the college division of the Junior Chamber of Commerce were recent recipients of awards for outstanding service during the year. The awards were presented to Gilbert Davis, Clyde Roberts, Robert Chamberlain, and William Van Fossen. Davis, a senior majoring in secondary education, received the award as "Outstanding Rotating Chairman." He received the award on the basis . of his thorough control over meetings, amiability between himself and members, and because, in the opinion of the judges, he possesses and exhibits a workable knowledge of parliamentary procedure. �2 Friday, May 5, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITO~ STUDENT SKETCH Another 'First' for Wilkes Letters to the Editor ...

Busy Senior Favors Teaching; Class President for Three Years by Jerry Shilanski It wil ltake more than eight weeks of student teaching to change Gilbert Davis' mind about teaching or discourage him from continuing in the education field. Summing up his recent teaching experience at ·Meyers High School, Gil remarked that "each day was a new experience; I got along great with my students and I really enjoyed the work. One could probably write a book about the incident~ that occur during these eight weeks. l really feel that they will be of tremendous value to me when I enter the teaching profession this fall." In talking with this gregarious senior secondary education major, it is quite evident that he thoroughly enjoys being with and working with people. In view of this it is not surprising that he is so enthusiastic about his field. Nor is it surprising that his classmates have elected him president of their class for three consecutive years. Gil's p 1 ea sing personality is echoed by the fact that he was one of the students chosen for this tion. year's Who's Who In American If our fear of fear leads us to Colleges and Universities.

Gary boasts the best singles record on the squad, having been defeated only once, at Susquehanna. His overall record of four wins and one loss has been amassed at the expense of Rider, Lycoming, Lebanon Valley, and Dickinson opponents. The "sleeper" of the team at the outset of the season, he promptly turned in the only victory in the match against Rider and thereby announced that he'd be an opponent Gary Einhorn not to be reckoned with easily for - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - v t h e remainder of the season.

Etzweiler and Curt Mull, shot well on the last nine holes to edge Lehigh and the University of Delaware for the title. At the mid-way point of the tourney the Bisons trailed Franklin and Marshall by a single stroke but the F & M golfers faltered on the wet, rainy afternoon round to fall out of contention. lV1ichael Turbill of the University of Delaware won the Ron Stuart Memorial Trophy for having the 36-hole low score of 152 with rounds of 77 and 75. Turbill putted well on the afternoon round and in spite of a steady drizzle shot 75, just three over par. Bob Goodman of Albright matched Turbill's performance but had a double bogey on the 16th hole in the mornmg round to end the day with 154.

Thanks, too, go to Don Hancock, this ye~:xr·s sports editor, who, in addition to his usually competent sports writing, preserved many exciting sports thrills for Beacon readers with some good camera shots. To Mr. Francis Salley, Beacon advisor, we wish to express our gratefulness for his guidance and gentle admonitions which were sometimes needed but aiways appreciated as a demonstration of his sincere interest in the Beacon. Much of the credit for our ability to be able to inform the student body of new developments concerning the college goes tci Mr. Livingston Clewell, director of PRO. Although he was subjected to the rigors of his first year on the job, Mr. Clewell often went out of his way to help the Beacon - our dee.pest thanks, "Pop". The paper would never be a reality, in spite of our efforts, were it not for the cooperation and extra courtesies shown to us by our printer - the Schmidts. Po.p, Leo, and Ed.die, more than once, went out of their way so that we could get the latest news into the Beacon - which often times isn't possible with a Tuesday deadline. Schmidt's Printery - our "unofficial" school of journalism - has been a second home to us, and we are deeply indebted to the Schmidts. To the students who were, for the most part, cooperative to the professors and instructors, and to the administration in Chase Hall, we wish to express our thanks for the contributions and helpful hints which have made this year's Beacon successful. In closing l find it necessary to substitute the singular subject for the journalistic plural to express my deepest appreciation to_my parents who have persevered through an eventful - if not predictable - college year. Their influence, praise, and admonishments will forever be a part of my memory.

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this publication but those of the individuals. Dear Cynthia: India is a holy land. She is lacking in many things, but holiness sh e has in abundance. Several million holy men roam the country roads on a perpetual pilgrimage from one holy spot to another, from one holy city to another. Varanasi (Benares) is the holiest of the many holy cities of India. Benares has to be seen from the boat on the river, because there the most interesting and unique Hindu religious and social activities take place. A long stretch of the banks of the Ganges is lined up with the staircases (ghats), above which tower temples, shrines, mansions of former wealthy maharajahs, and houses of the devout Br~hmins. People come every mornmg to t th · f •t h t • th b a th dde a eir avo:n e g at m te mu y, sI ow movmg wa ers, o • of th e1r • sous, 1 was h away th e sms and the sweat of their bodies.

To commemorat.e his sermon in· the Deer Park, Budhists' counterpart of the Sermon on the Mount, several Buddhist temples, monasteries, and ·s t u p a s were erected," some of which are in ruins now. Others are modern, erected recently liy the Buddhists from all over the world, including the ubiquitous Tibetan refugees. ·A few pilgrims are here, and the place has the air of lonely dignity like a deserted palace of a once great aristocrat. Calcutta, the city of six million people, is only 250 years young, built by the British as their seat of administration. In contrast to Benares, the city of sanctity and death, Cal-cutta presents the picture of a bustling, industrial city of factories, banks, and business establishments; like any other international port she is full of life and pregnant with a thousand vices. Calcutta is the home of the greatest Bengali poet, Rabindra Nath Tagore, and the latest Hindu religious reformer, Ramakrishna, the repository of Ghandi's ashes, and the place of the famous temple of the bloody and cruel goddess, Kali. Calcutta is the seat of one of the largest universities in the world. The city's lung is the large park called Maidan, stretching for miles in the middle of the new business section. The grass is cut low every day; this done by cows and goats, which our guide called "our lawnmowers". It is very romantic to ride in the pre-monsoon March nights to a dinner party in an open bicyclerickshaw dressed in the lightest cotton dress and open sandals with- James Neddoff Voices Praise For His College Experiences by Jerry Shilanski "Tremendous!" . . . he said, and with that one word James Neddoff summed up his feelings about Wilkes. "Why?" ... he was asked and without hesitation the senior education major spouted a list as long as this column. "It's the little things that make this college superior. Each student is a personality, not just a number; he has a faculty advisor and he is able to talk directly to his instructors. The required liberal arts courses are great because they give the student a broad education in all fields that he just couldn't get in a specialized school." "You 'brush elbows' with many people who have varying interests and you are liable to get their points of view," he went on. "The education is here for those who want it. I've never been sorry I came to Wilkes. I constantly brag about the college to everyone I meet and I try 1:o influence as many high school students as I can to come to Wilkes."

"Must all these people beg? Isn't there any way they could keep these streets clean?" he kept shouting in an outburst of "culture shock" as we were crowding our way through the human jungle, which is Calcutta. Martha Menegus, senior accounting maier, is shown, above, receiving her crown from Dean George Ralston at last Friday night's formal affair. by Jim Jackiewicz At the Cinderella Ball which was held last Friday, Martha Menegus, senior accounting major from Clifton, New Jersey, was chosen: as Cinderella Queen. Dean Ralston performed the coronation ceremony. Miss Menegus wore a white cocktail dress at the affair. She recently received further recognition by being named to "Who's Who Among Students of American Colleges and Universities". A tropic isle theme prevailed at this the final formal dance of the school year. In the center of the gymnasium floor. was ll volcano of brown and green foil. Lighted angel hair provided a smoke effect for the inferno. The backdrop depicted a southern Pacific scene with palm trees, moonlight, and the like. The ceiling of the gym was decorated with green and white paper to achieve a cob-web effect. The bleachers were folded and covered with colored foil on which were suspended leis and other appropriate articles of decor. To complete the theme, the tables were bedecked with half coconut shells and candles. Herbie Green and his orchestra provided music for the ball which was well-attended. Outstanding Students Reco.gnized by Wayne Thomas Students who have excelled during their time at the college in academic achievement or extracurricular activities were granted recognition at the annual awards assembly held yesterday in the gymnasium. Mr. Francis J. Salley, faculty advisor to the Beacon presented three awards to the graduating members of the staff. Joseph Olexy, Jr. received the award as graduating editor-in-chief of the · publication, Joseph Chisarick was awarded a pin as graduating business manager, and Sandra Biber received an award in commemoration of her two years of service on the Beacon staff; Later when we drove together to the old city and approached the temples, he refused to leave the taxi shaking his head in disguest. Beggars closed in on the taxi much to the embarrassment of our guide, clad in immaculately clean white dhoti. He quoted to us the cynic remark of the tourist, "India is the land of waving palms" (for bakshish). We passed several carloads of luscious fruits and vegetables, which were being taken to be thrown into the Ganga Ma (Mother Ganges) as sacrifice, followed hy a multitude of worshippers with hungry looks. Our Fijian Hindu just became desperate. I was happy to witness his reaction for I realized that things need not be as they are, and that at some future time, most Indians will feel the same way that he does. Bhubaneswar is the new and modern capital of the state of Orissa on the coast of the Bay of Bengal. It is pleasant to see all the up-to-date buildings for colleges, laboratories, administrative offices, and state guest houses. The people are smaller in build and darker; their dress is dictated by the climate; men wear only lungi ( skirt to their knees or longer), and women only a sari-like piece of cloth without any undergarment. Brahmins, the once proud caste of of priests, serve as guides around temples, and are not ashamed to say that they are hungry. Their caste statute prohibits them menial work, and the pilgrims, poor themselves, cannot support so many priests, holy men and monks. Bhubaneswar has · fifteen hundred temples profusely and artistically decorated and many experts consider them the finest examples of pure Hindu art. A lonely giant on the sand dunes in the nearby Konarak, the "Black Pagoda", is both beautiful and frightening. But by this time, I have seen so many temples that my senses are numb. Instead of describing them, I will conclude with an account of our four-mile walk to and from a Christian village near Dacca in East Bengal. we marched on a narrow path amongst rice and jute fields, flanked by young pineapple bushes and sugar cane, but not one single tree to grant us shade. We crossed water-hyacinth infested waters over a shaky bamboo bridge, and passed along thatched-roof huts. It was high noon, the sun white ablaze, and the air was hot and humid (the newspapers reported the temperature 100 degrees and humidity 94 per cent). Natives walked under black umbrellas. We found this village clean and prosperous. who has attained -the best record in business education.

The following comments were given by Mr. Hodges and Mr. Batt, representatives of President Kennedy, who were sent here to enlighten the local populace on the aspects of the Distressed Areas Law which was recently passed in Congress. Junior English Major Selected to Head Next Year's Manuscript The Manuscript Association recently elected Stephen Schwartz as next year's editor. Schwartz, who will be a senior English major, has served on the 'Manuscript' staff for the past two years. During this past year, he has served as Art Editor. Stephen Schwartz Schwartz, a native of New York, resides at Barre Hall during the school term. He is an active member of the Wilkes College Literary Society and the Wilkes College Committee for Sane Nuclea'r Policy. He has also appeared in Cue'n' Curtain's recent production of The Duchess of Malfi; Mr. Hodges commented that after looking over this area he felt that the people here are not distressed in morale or spirit, even though 15 per cent of the work force is unemployed. "I am impressed by the fact that the people here are not sitting back," said Mr. Hodges, waiting for the federal government to help. "Even. though I am a conservative business man, I ·still believe that the .g overnment · must help where local people can not help themselves. "The idea of creeping socialism is reactionary," he continued, "It is time for the government to help the citizenry not by -a handout but- by helping the people to help themselves. "Under this bureau," the secre·tary added, "there will be grants, loans, and the retraining of workers .so that the economic growth will be able to increase at four to five per cent annually. · "We business · men must get away from our selfish motives. Now we need to join together in a national effort to help this great country to make the common and public interest the · paramount goal." · · Mr. Batt said that he hopes the provisions of the ·bill will meet the expectations · of President Kennedy and the members of the Congress, p·articularly Congressman Flood. "Within the next sever a 1 ·months," s•a id Mr. Batt, "we hope to have about twenty to twenty.,five branches located throughout:' the country, concentrating -on depressed ·areas. · · ·"One of these branches will undoubtedly be located 'iri the· WilkesBarre-Scranton area.

The long-ball hitting freshman has been slugging the ball at a near .600 pace in these ball games to move his season's average to .325. In the early part of the season Lou was having great difficulty at the plate and went hitless in the first three contests. The agile third-sacker didn't become downhearted but worked harder at his stance and finally under the watchful eye of Bobby Ontko overcame a hitch in his swing. Since then he has been the leading hitter on the Colonel squad and has moved into the clean-up spot in the batting order. Against Albright the muscular six-footer gave the Colonel fans something to cheer about by driving a long double into right field and scoring on Ontko's home run. He continued his hitting spree against the Alumni and pounded out three singles, the last one :t,/:i:,:i:C:C:c'c/c,,:cc'c',, t\ltt:tlUW ttittt It tI )@it tt t tttI? ??? t t t )'I tt:t It t ??{ MI t tt I? /%: t ? t{ ff{tt{Ft t \?lt { t %lt t:t t<:n;;; @IBIIBTII i I II : I rn 11::rn I I II:II 1\N tr : } ]} ] j]]}}{j} Ji'./ } { J}} Jfj{ } )f}}}{J t)tt{l]t %I ff rnrntt: Lou Zampetti knocking in th e winning run.

He proved his ability to go deep into the hole between short and Boozers Down 'Dusters For Second-Place Spot; Awards Made Tomorrow Saturday marked the official end of the co-ed Bowling League's activities as the Boozers downed the Gutterdusters in r oll-off competition for second place.

Another year has passed and most of us women included must admit_ to being a year older. Some of us will b~ coming back ne;t year to enJoy another semester or two of studies, finals, etc., ad nauseum. For others graduation is here, followed by the step into the cruel world. For myself, academic considerations, notably a very heavy schedule for the next two semesters, have forced me to 'bring my association with the Be~con to an end. P ersonally, it has been a very enjoyable and rewardmg year. The task of putting a newspaper together nearly every week throughout the year was often tedious and, at times, frustrating. Many were the times when we sat up here in our room on the second floor of Picke~ing Hall, writ!ng h~adlines at two o'clock in the morning to the cla~kmg of t~e radiator m the corner. The radiator had a peculiar habit of makmg a great deal of noise but was stone cold when the thermometer ho vered around zero and quite warm when the men of Hollenback played stickball on the lawn while dressed in Bermuda shorts. Nevertheless, we managed to meet our Friday morning deadline each and every time. To accomplish any project, many hands are needed, people who can work together cooperatively and many thanks are in order for those without whose work the spor ts section of the paper would not have been possible. George Tensa, next year's sports editor, was a very great help. He kept us supplied with the latest doings on the soccer ~eld, _the b:isketball co~r t and the baseball diamond. Working in conJunct10n with the Pubhc Relations Office in his capacity as assistant sports publicist, he brought much material our way. Although sometimes disappointed by the way I altered iome of his material he took it i1:1 stride, kept plugging away at it, and did a fine first ~lass job. Christopher Loesch religiously supplied us with football statistics last fall along with the intramural touch football results. Bil Watkins was excellent in his coverage of intramural bowling, I could always depend on him and Jerry Chisarick to keep us informed of the bowlers' activities. Ed Rogalski supplied me with information about the winter intramural basketball program. Dirk Dunlap kept us abreast of the tennis team's progress and John Adams aided us with go!~ results. Special thanks go to Art Hoover, who provided us with vanous sports material which came into his office 1md who never hesitated to go out of his way to fulfill a request. Swimming coach Carl Havira went to no end to provide us with swimming material. lhr. Reese and Mr. Pinkowski extended the services of their good offices innumerable times while Mr. Ralston and Dr. Farley very graciously cleared up the King's-Wilkes sports situation for me. To Len Y oblonski goes a note of appreciation and thanks for the use of his photographs. His talent in this particular art will undoubtedly be greatly valued next year. Jerry Shilanski helped us get out of several tough jams with excellent use of the Beacon's polaroid camera. A newspaper can po:;sess a fine staff which produces excellent results but unless it works in close cooperation with the technial aspect of its production, i.e., printing, all the work is to no avail. We have been unusually fortunate in having al). excellent mechanical department in Schmidt's Printery. Ed Schmidt struggled with our material at the linotype, Pop set up the material in the forms and Leo handled the presswork. To each of them goes an expression of deepest appreciation for all the help, advice, and suggestions they gave us during the year. Finally, deepest appreciation is in order for the teams themselves and their coaches. They provided us with the thrills, suspense, and excitement which , turned into copy, reached you, the reading public. Their sportsmanship made us proud of them and so to you, the athletic teams a special salute and thanks for an outstanding year. ---<lbh NeImen Close aI ScranIon TOday; Lose lo AIbrighI an d Moravian Why are some girls prouder of their rings than others ?

Name,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Address,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The tennis team draws its 1961 season to a close this afternoon with a match against the University of Scranton at one o'clock at the Scr anton Country Club. The Scranton Country Club has recently built six clay courts and the match is being held ther e rather than at the Municipal Courts where it had been originally scheduled . The squad's first win of the season came at the expense of the Royals last month, 9-1. Coach Art Hoover's boys will be out to make it two consecutive wins over the Scranton team and have extended an invitation to the student body to make the short sojourn to Scranton this afternoon to watch the team in action. The netmen's latest two sorties met with disaster as they lost to Albright and Moravian by identical scores of 6-3 and 6-3. Garry Einhorn, perhaps jinxed by having been named the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week" last week, dropped both his singles matches but combined with Owen Francis and Steve Klein to win doubles. The Albright match saw the Colonel's team captain, Ron Bienkowski, pick up the only Blue and Gold singles win. At number two Bill Kline was downed by Glen Ruoss by scores of 6-2 and 6-3. Dirk Dunlap lost to Bill Ruoff in the number three spot, 6-3 and 6-4. Jim Kurtz bested Owen Francis at number four, 6-1 and 6-0; Garry Einhorn lost to Mike Shalter at number five, 6-1 and 8-6 while Ron Bienkowski defeated Mike Pierce at six. 6-3 and 6-1.

The second doubles match saw Bill Kline and Dirk Dunlap take the measure of Ruoff and Kurtz, 7-5 and 7-5. The netmen picked up their third point against the Lions by winning the third doubles, Francis and Einhorn over Anderson and Zentz, 6-4 and 6-1. Steve Klein and Buddy Menaker turned in singles wins against Moravian on Monday at Bethlehem. Both were long matches, Menaker downing Bill Grosh, 6-4, 5-7, and 6-4, while Klein won out over Richard Spaugh, 0-6, 7-5, and 6-0. In other singles a ction Bill Kline lost to Merr Trumbore at number one, 6-2 and 6-4; Bob Lipkin defeated Garry Einhorn at number two, 6-3 and 9-7; at number four Dirk Dunlap lost to Ken Walsh, 6-0 and 7-5; and Grove Stoddard defeated Ron Bienkowski at number six by scores of 6-4 and 6-2. . ROWDIES COP TITLE The Rowdies won the Intramural Softball championship on Monday by out-slugging the Old-Timers, 1310. The contest was marked by good hitting by both squads. Ron Sebolka hit a towering home run and Tom Pugh had a perfect day at the plate for the Old-Timers. Glenn Johnson and Jim Brunza led the victors with three hit performances. - - -- -- - -- -- - - - .. it ,..

Each year the club sponsors a raffle to which the proceeds go toward to purchase of stock. The reasons the club has this program are to give the members the opportunity of participating in the selection of stock, as well as to enable the club to earn money from the dividends the stock brings in. In the club there is a special committee which chooses the stock which is to be purchased. The committee members, before choosing the stock, go through an active program of meeting stockbrokers from the community who advise them on the buying of the stock. From a wide range of choices the committee narrows down the number to a few stocks which they present to the club to be voted on. The one stock to be invested .in is then chosen. The club purchases the stock through the school comptroller, Mrs. Connolly. The certificate of ownership is accredited to the Economics Club account at the Finance Office. The committee can sell and buy stock any time it sees fit to d0 so. Tickets for the raffle are being sold until 12 noon today . The cost is 3 for 25 cents. The prizes to be raffled off are: a transistor radio, a $25 gift certificate from The Hub, and ·a man's or a woman's elecrtic shaver.

WILKES COLLEGE Vol. XXVI, No. 1 by Jerome Krasa The Institute of Municipal Government, originally formed in 1951 as part of the Political Science Department, has grown under the direction of Dr. Hugo V. Mailey to the point where it has gained national prominence. In 1960, the Ford Foundation, cognizant of the value of the work being done by the Institute, provided it with a substantial grant which enabled it to expand its program. The Institute has as a major purpose the strengthening of American democracy by guaranteeing the effectiveness of local government. This fundamental goal is supplemented by the Institute's program designed to improve local government in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Provision of in-service training for local government officials along with the granting of technical advice, assistance, and research as a follow-up to instruction and cooperation with other local agencies highlight this by Frances Corace program. The newly formed School Spirit The basic program is made up of Committee met on Wednesday to short courses which provide non- initiate plans for the forthcoming Shilanski Conducts First Meeting of Spirit Committee degree educational opportunities for elective and appointive officials, a reference library containing among other materials monthly copies of over 60 magazines and publications, a Luzerne County News Letter published monthly for circulation to local officials, a nd an Information Service plus a Field Consultation Service intended to provide practical and reliable information of a general nature and special consultation for municipal officials on management problems. In assisting local Civil Service Commissions in selecting qualified personnel, the Institute also provides a t esting service for general information and aptitude tests. A continuous program of research is maintained to provide the latest and best information for member officials at all times. The research material, as well as the other physical features of the program including the reference library, are housed in the Institute's office on the fifth floor of Parrish Hall. The courses offered range over a wide variety of topics, covering virtually all aspects of concern to local government officials, both elective and appointive. The curriculum for the coming fall and spring semesters calls for courses in small arms, municipal fire adm inistration, and criminal law for magistrates as well as for courses of interest in other fields of local government. These courses are offered in cooperation with the Public Service Institute of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruct ion. Dr. Mailey directs the Institute staff which provides the instruction in the courses, augmented by guest lectures as the need arises. Mr. Philip R. Tuhy, a member of the Political Science Department, is the Educational and Research Associate. Mr. Alfred S. Groh, a member of the English Department, is Edito rial Consultant. In r ecog nition of their efforts, the local officials who participate in the program receive certificates at the annual dinner of the Institute held late in the spring. The wide scope of activities of the Institute was demonstrated at the last dinner as local government officials from several counties other than Luzerne r eceived certificates in courses ranging from training for township supervisors to training in police detective work. New Library Handbook Published to Aid All Students by Barbara Lore For the first time in the history of Wilkes College, a t extbook, whose subject matter is the Wilkes College Library, has been published. The text, entitled "A Student's Handbook to the Wilkes College Library", was compiled by the Library Staff, which includes Mr s. Nada Vujica, George Ermel, Miss Evelyn Lex, Frederick Krohl e, Miss Joanne Yurchak, and Mrs. Beverly Williams. It will be us ed as a handbook for the freshman library orientation course, in addition to the instructor's lecture. This forty page booklet, which replac es the small leaflet issued to students in previous years, is a well-organized guide to the facilities of the library.

The opening weeks of the semester will mark a busy time for all of us but it is also a time when many precedents which will be adhered to in the coming year are being set. There are several things which should be done in order to insure that the precedents which are set are in keeping with the goal of improving our college and with the many phases of cam pus life. The Beacon staff wishes to make known at this time some of the plans being made for the coming year. In an effort to improve our publication we are announcing a deadline for the acceptance of material which will be enforced. We believe that it will be for the good of all concerned if information is in our office prior to 5 p.m. on the Tuesday afternoon preceding the Friday publication. We are also asking that whenever possible this information be presented earlier than this time in order to enable our reporters to write clear, concise, and accurate stories which will be a credit to the persons and organizations involved as well as to the members of the Beacon staff. Once again we would like to welcome everyone to the college and to extend best wishes for a successful and profitable year. Upperclass Participation Urged A number of student leaders joined last week with the members of Student Government in planning and efficiently carrying out a well-organized orientation program to welcome and acquaint the class of 1965 with our campus. The time and energy expended by this group will be to no avail if participation in the overall program by upperclassmen is lacking. In previous years, most freshmen entering the college abided by the orientation rules but most upperclassmen failed to carry out their end of the program. Only when upperclassmen participate by "hazing" the freshmen and enforcing freshman rules will the program be a success. It is appropriate here also for us to review the general purposes of the orientation program. One of these is to acquaint the freshmen with the customs and traditions of the college. A second purpose is to help to unify the freshmen as a class and to enable them to work together as a group as soon as possible. The wearing of clinks and ties and the carrying of pennants helps to accomplish this as does the class project which once again this year is the United Fund Dance. This affair, which is almost totally planned and executed by the freshman class, helps each member of the class to identify and recognize the class leaders, those who perhaps will be later elected to one of the class offices. In order to insure the success of the class project and to enable the freshmen to become assimilated into the student body, we as upperclassmen must take steps now toward a successful orientation program. Once again, this is now beyond the scope of the student leaders and is in the hands of the upperclassmen as a whole. You can help by enforcing freshman rules and regulations, attending tribunals, and helping the freshmen to become acquainted with every phase of college life.

Friday, September 22, 1961 Letters to the Editor . . • Stude~I Dear Editor: On behalf of the Wilkes College Student Government I should like to extend our appreciation for the work and planning put into Freshman Orientation Week by the student leaders, namely, class presidents, organization presidents, and the representatives of various campus organizations. Their unselfish work and service made the program what it was a tremendous success. To these people, the Student Government owes a great debt. Thank you. Respectfully yours Al Kishel, President, Student Government * * * To the Student Body of Wilkes College: Before getting to the motive for this timely message I would personally like to welcome back all of my fellow classmates and also extend an ardent welcome to the incoming freshm en. I sincerely hope that the forthcoming academic year at Wilkes College will prove to be very stimulating and highly successful to both the student body and the capable faculty. In order to contribute a modicum of services toward making this academic year successful, I am writing this vestige as a manifestation of my desire to achieve this desirable goal. Ever since I enrolled at Wilkes College, one particular aberration of the student body has vexed and perplexed m e. This concerns the disrespect a small segment of the student body has for their classmates. I am specifically referring to the fact that a numerous amount of volumes in the library have completely disappeared. These students who are the cause of these missing books are denying many of their classmates the opportunity to secure valuable information. Through their selfish and dishonest conduct, these students stifle our academic resources at the College which in turn creates obstacles to the educational growth of the College community. Ostensibly, these unprincipled individuals are not aware of the inimical effect their dishonesty has upon the college as a whole. To dismiss this problem would be quite easy; however, if the current trend persists, the situation will lead to one of disastrous proportions. Consequently, we must take immediate action to prevent further loss. I propose that the library staff institute more stringent regulations concerning the present liberal borrowing procedure. Secondly, each student should take it upon himself to make sure neither h e nor any of his classmates accidently or knowingly take out books illicitly from the library. Finally, faculty members should also consider their colleagues and the students by not abusing their library privileges. I would like to remind all my college cohorts that we are living in a troubled age. Outside forces threaten our freedom like a saturnine thundercloud. Only through cooperation, veracity, self-abrogation, and assiduous toil, can we retain and secure our well-cherished democratic ideals. By instituting actions such as I suggest, we can clearly manifest our desire for continued freedom, success, and happiness. Sincerely yours, Philip H. Siegel Class of 1963 * * * Dear Editor: Once again the school session gets underway, all returning upperclassmen are greeted with both old and new sights on our campus. Heading the list of new additions are the dorms, more facilities, rooms, and a large freshman class. Yet, as the student attempts to park his vehicle, all of the kamikaze pilots that were successful in finding a parking spot between 6 and 7 a.m. have taken all of the Go~ernmenl President Explains His Role_and Policies by Jerry Shilanski Organization, clear thinking, optimism, and high standards are the words and phrases that reel before you when scanning a typewriter keyboard looking for the right combination of letters to describe this year's Student Government President. Al Kishel. "I consider myself very fortunate to be president of the Student Government; therefore, I will do my best to meet the standards of the office." This was his humble reply when confronted with a point blank, "How do you like being the head of such a distinguished organization, Al?" Al Kishel little space that was available. In each lot there is a smiling school-appointed patrol ticket maintenance officer, gaily waving you on (since no space is available) making sure to check that you purchased a $6.00 sticker, even though it won't get the driver a parking spot. The most effi ciently marked and operated lot is at Parrish. Then going to the other extreme is the lot adjacent to Gore. Cars are bunched in to such an extent that many students find it impossible to open the door once the car is parked. If the student is lucky enough to open the door, the other problem is finding a way to walk through the maze and get to the sidewalk. Entering and leaving the lot is another novelty. Unless one is blessed with a continual stroke of good fortune, it is necessary to bounce up and down the curb to enter and leave. Besides knocking the front end out of line, many students have left souvenirs behind, such as tailpipe sections, mufflers, and bent bumpers from attempting to go over the curb. The writer is aware of the high cost of purchasing land to make additional space available for cars, but each year there are more students and more cars. With all of the increases there is not even a reasonable facsimile ratio to parking space available. Isn't there something that can be done to alleviate this condition which is continually getting worse? Respectfully yours, Ronald Diamondstein Women's Lounge Will Be Constructed in Pickering Mrs. Gertrude Doane, Dean of Women, has announced construction of a women's lounge, to be located on the second floor of Pickering Hall. The purpose of the lounge, according to Dean Doane, is to provide a place with "homelike" atmosphere for commuting women students to go "for rest, not sociability". The crew is working daily on the construction of the lounge and will have it completed in about three weeks. Exact opening date will be announced in a later issue of the Beacon. NOTICE The Junior Class will meet on Thursday at 11 a.m. in Stark 116. He continued by saying, "the only way the Student Government can maintain the respect of the student body is to fulfill all of its obligations." Praising those serving on this policy-making body, he promised that by tapping the ability and potential of these people the organization's obligations will be fulfilled . "I am very much encouraged by the participation and spirit displayed by the student leaders and the entire student body during Freshman Orientation Week and the first week of school," said Al. When asked to reiterate the Student Government's role and policies, Al shot back as though he had rehearsed for this interview for weeks: "One. To act as a liaison between the student body and the Administration. "Two. To accurately formulate student opinion on all matters and refer such opinions to the appropriate channels. "Three. To coordinate all student or~anizations so that duplications and conflicts in student activities can be avoided. "And Four. To provide the student body with a well rounded extracurricular program so that students will not have to go elsewhere for their social enjoyment." In reference to the expanding role of the Student Government, Al emphasized the importance of stimulating creative thinking and originality on campus, uplifting the school spirit, acquainting the students with all the facilities and opportunities at Wilkes, and encouraging them to use these facilities. Al is convinced that the Student Government President is directly responsible for assuring the accomplishment of all objectives; this, he feels, can only be done by a president who makes himself aware of the expectations of the administration, the faculty, and the entire student body. He is also certain that the Student Government president is an actual reflection of every member of the student body and must conduct himself in a manner that will do justice to his colleagues. Al considers his presidency as a full time job; therefore, he no longer participated in the many clubs and organizations in which he was formerly active. The only activity that shares his time is a part-time job in a local accounting firm. Al, a senior accounting major, has been working with the Laventhol and Krekstein firm for several months and plans to do his accounting internship there later this year. He explained that his job gave him an invaluable opportunity to gain practical experience in his academic work. Presently undecided about his future, Al is contemplating applying for the Peace Corps, Marine Officers' Training Program, or admission to Law School. Further education is definitely among his future plans. Commenting on his past three years at Wilkes he unhesitantly suggested that this period had been a time of tremendous personal growth and development for him. In a nostalgic tone Al said, "Wilkes is really an outstanding institution. Sicne I have been Student Government President, I have had an opportunity to realize the efforts put forth by the administration in maintaining and raising the standards of the college. If I had it to do over I would choose (continued on page 3) �7, September 22, 1961 Wll.KFS COLLEGE BEACON .,.- rosh Have Varying Reaclions To First Week on Campus Two more tribunals, one on September 26 and another on October 3, will mete out suitable punishments to the offending "frosh"; all tribunals are compulsory for freshmen. "Frosh" living in dormitories have found that their upperclass "brothers and sisters" are eager to assist them in adjusting to campus life. Orientation, the process of transforming high school boys and girls into college men and women, began in earnest this week as upperclassm en returned for the 1961-62 acade mic year. The freshmen, who had reigned supreme during their first week on campus, r eact ed differently to the attentions of the older Wilkesmen. Some fres hmen openly violated the regulations laid down by the Fresh man Orientation Committee. "Frosh"' without dinks, ties, name cards, pennants, and other required fresh man paraphernalia were remanded to the first Freshman tribunal, held Tuesday at noon in the Gymnasium. In keeping with the tribunal's policy of providing conspicuous punishments for offending "frosh", some members of the class of '65 found themsel ves polishing doorknobs on the doors of the Library, drinking soda pop from bottles equipped with rubber nipples, or firmly encased in the campus stocks.

Shelves Noled Faculty Member Discusses Experiences and Opinions Abroad· Continuing its program of Reading for Fun and Enjoyment, the Library has added many new books which both entertain and amuse. One excellent example is a hilarious novel of Gl's in Tokyo during the occupation - a zany tale of an army with no war to fight and nothing, really, to do. Bob Duncan's If It Moves, Salute It tells of Pfc. Frank Ellison, a new recruit straight from the corn belt, who was to learn "the army way" while stationed on the outskirts of Tokyo in 1945 at the Shogun Hotel. This hotel was taken over by a pleasure-loving captain of the Twelfth Special Service Company who turned it into a gilded resort with a sunken marble bathtub, some lusty murals, and a whiskey decanter that played "Onward Christian Soldiers" when tipped. This novel is for all publicspirited citizens who want to know what, exactly, our boys were doing over there. Sons of the South by Clayton Rand is a stirring tribute to those who have added to the greatness of our nation and to the glory of the South. Through picture and story one hundred gallant men from the American South come to life. Rand probes the hearts and minds of such valiant Americans as Sam Houston, a man who rose from the depths of personal tragedy to achieve greatness; John James Audubon, who endured years of poverty until his genius was finally recognized; the kindly Dr. Gorrie, who invented the first ice-making machine for the comfort of his patients and who died unaware of his enormous achievement; the lanky Andrew Johnson, the only president who never spent a day in a classroom. Included in the honor roll of the South are Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Cordell Hull and Woodrow Wilson, Daniel Boone and Jim Bowie. All were men who f o u g h t courageously for their ideals; all were men sired by the South. As many of our readers know, Dr. Stanko M. Vuiica, chairman of the Philosophy-Religion department, had spent the past academic year in Pakistan and India as a Fulbright scholar. On his way to Asia Dr. Vuiica visited the countries of South Europe and Middle East and on his homeward trip he had a three-month tour of the Far East. We asked Dr. Vuiica for comments on some of his experiences. Speaking of his many contacts with college and university students abroad, Dr. Vuiica said: Colonial Dames Sponsor National Essay Contest; For Juniors and Seniors "I made it a point to see the institutions of higher learning in almost eevry country I visited.

Several students asked about the "b e a t n i k phenomenon" in the States. It was, of course, easy for me to answer such questions, but there were others. Usually there were a few leftist oriented in the group and they were more articulate when it came to such questions as the segregation in American schools, Wall Street "imperialism", American "preparations" for war, etc. I rarely had a chance to answer this type of question as the Dr. Stanko Vuiica individuals who asked them would usually be shouted down by their memorable, Dr. Vujica said, "There were · many unforgetable experifellow students." ences, but somehow I cherish most One hears a great deal about the moment of my brief venture wide-spread anti-American feelings into the cold-war diplomacy.

You and millions of others have probably missed the color and excitement of the world's most famous gridiron classic and, chances are, you will never see the game because of the huge demand for tickets. Yet here is your chance to do just that. The Wilkes College Lettermen's Club is offering you a chance to see this game at their expense and effort. Autumn is upon us and with the season's first brisk winds and frosts murmurs of "football, football" are heard from Massachusetts to Oregon. To a small but equally spirited circle, it's soccer season, time for the players to "get in shape" for one of the most gruelling and uner-attended games in sportdom. During the past two weeks the twenty-five man edition of the 1961 Wilkes Colonels squad has been doing just that under the critical eyes of Coach Jim Ferris. Finally the big day is drawing near; on Wednesday afternoon the Colonels kick the lid off their 1961 schedule when they meet the Susquehanna university squad in a M.A.C. contest at the new Wilkes Athletic Field at 3 :30. The visitors from Selinsgrove downed the Colonels in their initial meeting last season, 4-3. Despite losses via graduation Coach Ferris feels that our returning lettermen, led by co-captains Ted Toluba and Chuck Weiss, will form the nucleus of a strong team. Among the old reliables are: Frank Lepore, George Tensa, Clyde Roberts, Pete Eckhart, Erwin Guetig, Walt Prusakowski, and J o h n Adams. A great help in "Operation Soccer - 1961" is that many of the newcomers to the squad have had some soccer experience. Bill Flynn played four season of varsity soccer in Toms River, New Jersey, while Todd Gibbs played at Allentown High. Don Jacoby, Tom Tomalis, Dick Morgan, N. Doherty, Tom Bloomer, and Jack Barnes are bidding for a starting berth. In regards to our possibilities of a winning season co-captain Ted Toluba expressed the team's optimism, "with an ever-improving team that knows only hustle, the outlook is definitely bright." Of course, the Colonel booters will face formidable opposition having several ··All-MAC" players but veteran Frank Lepore says, "We'll hustle them to death." The latest word from Coach Jim Ferris indicates the starting lineup is indefinite, but will probably include Chuck Weiss and Erwin Guetig at the fullback slots and Ted Toluba at center halfback. Clyde Roberts, Frank Lepore, Walt Prusakowski, and Pete Eckhart seem to have gained berths on the line with John Adams holdini down the goal-tending chores. Coach Ferris has been driving the hooters to whip them into top physical shape, and he has juggled his lineup to balance weaknesses, both offensively and defensively. Injuries, although not serious ones, have been starting to creep up on the squad. Freshman Don Jacoby has been out for a week with a pulled groin muscle while Chuck Weiss has a swollen knee and George Tensa is still hampered by a sprained ankle. After the home opener against Susquehanna on Wednesday the Colonels will travel to Long Island on September 30th to meet Wagner in a renewed rivalry. SENIOR STALWARTS - Th'is quartet of Seniors is expected to form the nucleus of this year's soccer squad. The veterans are, left to right: Frank Lewre, George Tensa, Ted Toluba, and Clyde Roberts.

He ranked among the first or in his office in the rear of Chase ten in MAC standings in rushing, Hall on the second floor. scoring, and total offense for two consecutive years, capping his performance by being named to the northern division All-Conference squad and the ECAC team of the week. Marv also was MAC wrestling champion in the 177 pound division for the past three years. when they were seniors. This is the year of the prophecy. Last season the Colonels were two teams. Defensively they were granite-hard and allowed only 109 points in nine games. Offensively they spent the season sputtering and stalling and managed only 56 points in a 2 and 7 season. The reason for this odd transformation from a defensive Goliath to an offensive inadequate seemed to lie largely with the quarterback corps where Paul Aquilino shared the starting role with Al Gubanich. Although they proved to be ample runners, neither could throw long passes consistently and, as a result, opponents stacked their lines to halt the ground attack. As of now, Coach Pinkowski seems to have the answer to this problem in quarterback Ted TravisBey from Phoenixville. The 5'-9", 165-pound freshman has shown that he can throw the ball accurately as well as carry it effectively. He has displayed a good deal of poise and confidence in performing his role. Bill Schwab and Al Gubanich are vying for the quarterback slot also. Tom Krisulevicz of Plymouth powers the Colonel running game. The 5'10", 170 pound senior runs from fullback and has the speed to make the long gain. Last season Tom was ranked fourth in yardage gained in the MAC while averaging 3.3 yards per carry. Frank Wal- lace of Larksville is expected to run from the left halfback position while the right half post is still being contested by Bud Hardy, John Gardner, and Richie Capitan. Hardy poses a double threat with his ability to pass as well as run. The biggest asset the Wilkesmen possess is their line with a number of lettermen returning to action. Veteran Rick Rees will be hard to dislodge at right end while Larry Turel is battling for the left end position. Tackle and guard posts will be less troublesome spots for Pinkowski as he has a number of eager candidates for these positions. At tackle will be Jim Brunza, 6'1", 200 pound senior, and Pete Winebrake, returning to Wilkes after a stint in the Marine Corps where he was an All-Marine tackle. Pete also was named Outstanding Lineman in 1957 at Wilkes. Junior Nick Alesandro is also contesting a tackle post while Chuck Cherundolo is sidelined with a leg injury. At guard will be Jerry Mohn, 5'8", 210· pound junior; Don Eller, a senior; and freshman Len Kibildis of Plymouth. Mohn was the only lineman in the MAC to win Outstanding Sophomore plaudits last season. Bill Meneeley, 6'2", 190 pound junior from Coughlin, is expected to start at center and may very well Marv Antinnes be one of the best middle-men in the conference. Last season Bill showed vast improvement. Among the upperclassmen bidding for varsity spots are Dick Blisick, John Evanich, Paul Aquilino, Bill Mulford, and Joe Kruczek.

This was the opinion expressed by Michael F. P. Bianco, senior political science major, after completing a period of summer governmental service at the Pennsylvania State Capitol. Along with nine other governmental interns, Bianco was one of the winners of the 1960 James A. Finnegan Fellowship Foundation A wards. The Finnegan Foundation was established to provide practical training in government and politics for outstanding students in Pennsylvania colleges and universities and to honor James A. Finnegan. Bianco found his experience "rewarding because the members of the foundation and the representatives of the government gave me valuable insight into government and political action, and challenging because of the new groups of people and areas of responsibility which were made known to me." Along with the other winners of the annual competition, Bianco was given the opportunity to work as a trainee in the Labor and Industry Department, and to take part in an organized orientation p r o g r a m which was designed to give each intern an over-all view of the operations of the state government. Bianco spent the period of his internship with the Public Relations division of the State Department of Labor and Industry. He also did some work with the Publicity Division of the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee on a Civil Rights fact sheet. His work with Public Relations consisted in writing press rel eas es for the Department and doing research on legislation which the Department wanted passed or defeated. Toward the end of the summer, Bianco assisted in compiling a Radio and Television Directory, a publication of the Department of Labor and Industry. Along with his governmental work, Bianco participated in weekly conferences at the administrative level at which cabinet officials explained the functions of their respective departments. He and the other interns also met with Governor David L. Lawrence on several occasions, a man whom Bianco found to be a "personable and an effective administrator".
