The new members will fill vacancies caused by recent resignations. The date for the election has been set as Friday, October 6. Execut·1ve w·n s k I pea To Interested Students On "The ObVIOUS • " Ted Begun was elected secretaryi for the new term, and Mike Bianco was appointed permanent parliam~ta~i:t~~n passed at this first meeting added a new facet to the Student Government body. For the 1961-62 school year an official record will be kept of the votes of every Student Government representative on each motion passed. This will enable interested members of the student body to check on their representative's vote on pertinent issues, to insure proper representation. Topics on the agenda included reports from the standing committees. Jim Walters announced that the extra-curricular a c t i v i t i e s budget had a balance of $471.66, which may be donated toward a scholarship fund, if so voted by the Student Government. Jerry Shilanski, representing the S c h o o 1 Spirit Committee at the meeting, proposed that a portable public address system be installed on campus for college activities. Reports were also submitted by the policy, calendar, publicity, constitution, and evaluation committees. An External Affairs Committee was created to consider matters off campus, such as state or federal legislation, or an event of national importance, which would involve the interests of the college. Mike Bianco was appointed chairman. Ed Rogalski was put in charge of a Bulletin Board Committee, to investigate the possible role of the Student Government in maintaining the bulletin board on the Commons. Reports were also heard from Special Events Committees. The Orientation Committee, headed by Ted Begun and Jim Walters, announced that a rope-pulling contest between the freshmen and upperclassmen will be held at the football game Saturday, September 30. Bonnie Jenkins reported that a Student Government sign will be posted at Harding Hall in the near future. Other committees discussed plans for the Undergraduate Dinner Dance, Homecoming, Dr. Farley's Day, and the United Fund. Nominations for the Court of Appeals were opened, and Activity forms from various organizations were accepted. Both the Calendar Committee and President Kishel stressed the importance of submitting these completed forms as soon as possible, as it facilitates planning of the activities calendar, and indicates the organization and forethought of the club involved. The Student Government recommends that jackets be required for all dances scheduled, ex·c ept novelty affairs. Seniors Present Assembly The senior class has undertaken a project that no other class has done at Wilkes. Aware of the criticism often directed toward assembly programs in the past, the senior class has taken what it hopes will become a tradition for this class in the years to come. With this in mind, the class has obtained Dr. Dorothy J. Lipp, Dean of Women at Pennsylvania State University, to address next Thurs(continued on page 4) Louis ·P . Shannon, manager of the DuPont Company's Extension Division, has chosen "The Disappearance of the Obvious" as his topic when he speaks h ere next Tuesday. A member of Phi Kappa Phi, an honorary scholastic society, and the Public Relations Society of America, Mr. Shannon was secured through the office of Dean Ralston to speak to the Economics and Retailing Club s and SAM. However, officials of each of these groups emphasized that the entire student body is welcome to hear this address, which will be given in Stark 109 at 11 a.m., by a man who has made a mark in both the business and education worlds. Mr. Shannon will discuss the factors that have spurred the nation's economic growth and will show how these factors have become obscured almost to the point of disappearance. When asked if he had a preference as to addressing a student or a faculty audience, Mr. Shannon pointed out that he thought the student body at Wilkes could profit more from this talk than faculty members could. For this reason, he hopes to address a large group of students. Receiving his bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University and his master's degree from the University of Florida, he has gained much experience abroad as an educator and a school administrator. Lettermen Drink to Raffle by Julie Evans The Lettermen's P r e - S ea s on Punch Party will be held today from 1 o'clock to 4 o'clock at Chase Lawn to kick off the coming football and soccer season. Y orath Evans, senior secondary education major, is the chairman. The club held teas and punch parties in the past, but the tradition was stopped a few years ago. There will be no charge of admission and the lettermen will serve the refreshments. All students and faculty members are cordially invited to attend the party. The Lettermen are also sponsoring a raffle that began Tuesday, September 26 and will continue until Homecoming. Group to Charter Buses Busses to take students to away athletic events are being chartered this year by the School Spirit Committee. Tickets for next Saturday's game with the Pennsylvania Military Academy will be on sale in the Bookstore until Thursday. The price of this ticket for the trip to PMC which is located in Chester, Pa., will be $3.00. Admission to the game will be free for students on the busses. The future of this program depends on the participation of the students on this initial trip. Attend the Pep Rally Today, Noon, Chase Lawn STUDENT WEEKLY WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE. PENNSYLVANIA New Representatives Needed For Student Government Posis Boost School Spirit. New Instructors Aid College Atmosphere With Past Experi nces by Jerome Krasa The college continued its tradition of striving for excellence in education by again adding a substantial number of new instructors to the faculty. This year, ten men and women joined the ranks of fulltime Wilkes professors. That our faculty member are selected on the basis of what they can contribute to the student body in the way of new and varied ideas is made amply evident with just a glance at the educational background and prior experience held by these new instructors. Dr. Frederic E. Bellas, a native of Edwardsville, is typical of the new faculty instructor. After receiving his terminal degree from Wilkes in 1947, Dr. Bellas transferred to Pennsylvania State University, where he soon obtained his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees and also his Doctorate in Physics. At Wilkes, he is an Associate Professor of Physics. Mrs. Wanda Hilner typifies the beauty and charm of the new women instructors. Reversing a trend common in the Valley, Mrs. Hilner went to high school in New Jersey (Teaneck) and then came here to teach. She received her Bachelor's degree from Hood College in Frederick, Maryland in 1960 and, explaining that she recently got married, she said that she came to the area as her husband's work is situated here. She is an instructor in the Biology Department. A new instructor who left the hills of North Dakota for the valleys of Pennsylvania, Mr. Kent Kirby is a signal addition to our Art Department. He completed his studies in his home state and received his Bachelor's degree from Carleton College and his Master's degree from the University of North Dakota. His previous teaching experience includes two years as art instructor at Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio. His hobbies include painting, sports, and the theater. Home life is divided between his wife, Lynn, and two young children, Kalin Louise and Jeffrey Bruce. Mr. Albert Stralka is by far the youngest among the new instructors. He attended Hanover Township High School and is still a resident of the Township. Entering Wilkes in 1957, he re,c eived his Bachelor's degree just this past June. His m"a jor hobby is golf and he can be found professionally in Conyngham Hall carrring out his duties as a member of the Mathematics Department. Another bright addition to the faculty, Dr. Bernice Leagus, is also from this area. A native of Wilkes-Barre, she attended Wilkes for two years, then transferred to Bucknell to obtain her Bachelor's degree. Her Master's and Doctor's degrees were obtained at Pennsylvania State University. A former instructor at Wilkes, she also taught part-time at Penn State. At Wilkes, she is an Assistant Professor of Biology and Coordinator of our Nursing Program. Mr. Robert Lovett received his Bachelor's degree from Ithaca College and his Master's degree from Teachers College of Columbia University. His prior experience includes several positions in colleges around the country. Between high school and college, he found time FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1961 Shilanski Heads State CCUN; Sophomore Demonstrates Ability by Joe Klaips Jerry Shilanski, a member of the sophomore class, was appointed state chairman of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations. On June 14-22, .Shilanski, representing Wilkes, along with representatives of the C.C.U.N. organizations all over the nation, attended the Sixteenth Annual Intercollegiate Leadership Institute of the United Nations. Held at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. this year's institute with 165 representatives, was the largest ever held. Here, Eleanor Roosevelt addressed the group. In addition to the time spent in conference and discussion groups on the college campus, the representatives spent two days at the United Nations headquarters. A detailed tour of the United Nations building was conducted and several delegates from various countries addressed the group. At the conclusion of the Institute, elections were held and a regional director was elected; it was he in turn who appointed Shilanski to coordinate the activities of the C.C.U.N. in Pennsylvania. Incidently, although Shilanski has only been a member for one year, he was appointed to this position because of his outstanding qualifications of leadership and his sincere interest in the organization. When asked what the position m eant to him, Shilanski replied, "It gives me an opportunity to work for an organization which has, within its power, the possibility of Jerry Shilanski bringing a lasting peace in the _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _,_world." to take part in five campaigns in Europe in World War II. Married and the fat her of four children, he has published several articles and is a guest conductor of the U. S. Air Force and U. S. Navy Bands, among others. Bringing a touch of internationali sm of the new instructors, Carolyn Morris, after receiving her Bachelor's degree from Wellesley ·College, attended the s um m er school divisions of L'Ecole Polytechnique and the Sorbonne: Louvre in Paris. Formerly a parttime instructor at Wilkes, she was also Department Manager of Children's Wear Merchandising at Abraham and Straus. Very active in community affairs, she has one lively son who manages to keep her busy at home. At the college, she teaches economics and retailing. Mr. Harvey Bresler, in addition to his duties in the Commerce and Finance Department, is the college's' Director of Development. He received his AB and LLB degrees from Columbia University. At various times, he has studied at the University of California, New York University, and Columbia University Graduate School. A former member of the New York Adult Education Council, his nonprofessional hobby is book reviewing. Edward Benson Lewis is another of our new faculty members who has studied abroad. After getting his Bachelor's degree from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, he spent some time at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland in special studies on James Joyce, W. B. Yeats, Anglo-Irish novels, and Anglo-Irish drama. He received his Master's degree at Ohio State University, and is a member of the English Department. Jose Ribas studied at three of the m ajor schools in Spain, the Universities of Salamanca, Madrid, and Barcelona. This native of Ge- Discussing the subject further, Shilanski stated that it is the objective of the C.C.U.N. at this time to increase active participation in the organization by more colleges throughout the nation. In addition to serving as state chairman of C.C.U .N., Shilanski is vice-president of the organi1zation here on campus. He is chairman of the School Spirit Committee, a member of the Beacon staff, chairman of the committee for Sane Nuclear Policy, and publicity chairman for the class of 1964. From the academic angle, Shilanski is enrolled in the liberal arts program and plans to enter the field of journalism upon graduation. The experience he is gaining now as state chairman of the C.C.U.N. by corresponding with member colleges will undoubtedly be an asset to him in the journalistic field. USMC Team Coming A Marine Corps Officers Selection Team will be on campus October 4 and 5 to interview students who are interested in becoming officers in the United States Marine Corps. This Selection Team will be available during these two days in the Commons. Three basic programs are availaable: two for male students and one for fema le students.

Inter-Dormitory Council, wish to The freshmen were instructed to wear their "Sunday best" and as usual, they attracted the attention of many an upperclassman as they appeared on all parts of the campu_s on Friday morning. At noon, a contest was held to select the nicest and most unusual toys. The winners were awarded with an exemption from tribunal attendance, but the story does not end here. This year, "toy day" was only the beginning of a project which was to gladden the hearts of many children as well as to bring credit to the students of Wilkes, particularly the freshmen and the members of I.D.C. Following the noon contest, the freshmen were invited to place their toys in a container for distribution to charity. The toys were then taken by two I.D.C. members to two local institutions. Half of the 250 toys collected were donated to the St. Stanislaus Institute at Nanicoke, and he remainder were given to the Plymouth Salvation Army for distribution among the needy. This project certainly brings a great deal of credit to the college and the I.D.C. members who arranged the project as well as the freshmen who participated are deserving of recognition. Thanks to them, this year's "toy day" fulfilled not only the purposes of the orientation program, but also brought a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment to those less fortunate. Once again, congratulations to all concerned for a job well done. From the First Row Baltimore Chamber Orcheslra Well Received·by Students by Bob Kundr:eskas Th e Baltimore Chamber Orchest r a und er the direction of Elliott W. Galkin presented a varied program at Tuesday's assembly. The program was void of the usual "workhqrses" g enerally expected at such . presentations. The opening work, a rarely h eard overture by Sacchini, established the fact that the en semble was a first-rate group. The tempi were crisp and the bowings precise. In the "Concerto for Piano and Orch estra in C", by Paisiello, pianist Daniel Abrams proved himself more than equal to the demands of the composer. His playing was strong and precise. Friday, September 29, 1961 Bela Bartok's "Ro um an i an Dances" were a joy to the ear. The dan ces are · highly expressive and Mr. Galkin exacted this expressive feeling with precision in the various Rubati. "The Concert Piece for Bassoon and String Orchestra", by Phillips, was another matter. The bassoonist, Stanley P etrulis, and the conductor had, at times, difficulty in agreeing on a common tempo. The student body, as delighted as myself with the performance, ex pressed their appreciation with their hands. The warm applause awarded to the orchestra upon its c o m p I e t i o n of the ,program prompted a well -deserved encore. WHAT - WHERE - WHEN Associated Women Students - Today, noon, Pickering 203.

Europeans Interesting Co-ed _F inds on Tour by Roz Deretchin "Any tra-veler who has been to Europe can tell you about the famous sights, but Europe is not just a world of church es and museums; it is a place where life and customs are different from ours in the United States." Miss Roz Deretchin, a sophomore psychology major, who toured Europe with a group of American college stud ents last summer, went on to tell .of the interesting people she had met in Europe. Unlike most · conducted tours of Europe, Miss Deretchin's group visited many places which were off the beaten tourist path; this gave her an opportunity to meet students and natives of each co untry through which sh e passed. Recounting her adventures, she said, "One night in Edinburgh, Scotland, we visit ed a women's dormitory at Edinburgh University. We introduced ours elves as American students interested in talking to Scottish stud ents. Within a matter of minutes, -we met a group of girls who were eager to talk with us about what America is really like." Though sh e found that many of the people that sh e met believed Americans to be rich and spoiled, sh e quickly added that everyone did not share this opinion. "For example," she said, "in the small towns, people were extremely friendly and went out of their way to please us." "In fact," she added, "aside from seeing the many famous places, what I r eally loved most about Europe were those small towns, where the people wore costumes indigenous to their country, and where their way of lif e has changed little This whole thing started way back in 1957 when Lee was a junior at West P ittston High School.

"Although I am pleased with the sin cere efforts of Al Kish el and the orientation committee that helped him reorganize the 'ha,zing' program, I would like to see more effective application of the committee's suggestions.

M. Hounds Feature Passing Attack; Colonels Have Balanced Offense The Greyhounds of Moravian College will provide the opposition for the Blue and Gold gridders as they raise the curtain on their 1961 season tomorrow afternoon. Kickoff time is listed for two o'clock at the new Wilkes College Athletic Field. The Greyhounds downed the Colonels, 14-2, in last year's contest and hold a 9-1 series edge over the Wilkesmen. The Greyhounds started the season last week and were edged by C. W. Post, 21-19. Although they tasted defeat the scouting reports indicate the Greyhounds have a strong team with depth at each position. For the first time the visitors are operating from the wing-T formation with quarterback's option. Andy Semmel got the starting nod at the quarterback slot last week-end and responded with nine completed passes, good for two touchdowns. J im Frank, Bill Hino, and Jim Kelyman fill out the remaining backfield posts. The Greyhound line shows good size, fair speed and experience. Of course the Colonels will have to take a backseat to no one as they attempt to bob above the .500 mark for the first time in recent years. Last year the Colonels utilized primarily power plays up the middle to lead their offensive thrust. This season the power is still there but a better-rounded attack is expected. A sharp passing attack, quarterback Ted Travis-Bey to Rick Rees and Larry Turel, mixed strategically with the bronco-busting type running of fullback Tom Krisulevicz and halfback Frank Wallace will give the Wilkesmen their best balanced attack in years. Wallace, a converted quarterback, gives the Blue and Gold a halfback with which to operate the option. H e has the speed to make sizable gains around the end and can throw accurately to spell nothing but trouble for the opposition. The nu cleus of a winning team is a good line has been the cry of success_ful coaches d_o wn through the years. This year's team has a solid nucleus on which to build. Jim Brunza, Ed Gavel, Pete Winebrake, and Chuck Cherundolo give the Colonels plenty of "beef" at the tackles. The guards-Don Eller, J erry Mohn, Len Kibildis and Len Ri chards and Len Rishofski are small by college standards but have the speed and experience to offset this seemingly deficit. Three-deep are the centers with Ferrismen Perform Well in Clash Against Fasl Susquehanna Team Lepore Gains Nod as Athlete of the Week This year on the Wilkes soccer team the emphasis is on close teamwork. One of the players who exemplifies this endeavor is senior Retailing major, Frank Lepore. "Sweetie Pie", as he is called by his teammates, serves almost as a cheerleader for the team in addition to handling his outside right position with a great amount of skill and determination. In Wilkes' 1-0 victory over Susquehanna University Wednesday, Frank repeatedly initiated drives that ended with the Wilkesmen hammering at the Crusaders' goal. He was instrum ental in the Wilkes scoring thrust, as he helped bring the ball past the Susquehanna defenders into scoring position. Late in the game Frank made several crucial defensive moves as the team staved off a rejuvenated Crusader attack. ' With only one day of rest after Wednesday's clash with Susquehanna, the Colonel soccer team will be seeking their second straight triumph in as many games when they tangle with Wagner College this afternoon at 3 :30 at the Wilkes College Athletic Field. The Colonels shut out Susquehanna, 1-0, in their season's opener. The Blue and Gold hooters will definitely be up for today's contest. Not only will they be out to score their second victory but they are eager to have the winning season that has escaped them the past two years.

Tomorrow's performance marks the initial appearance of Mazowsze in North America as it opens a three week tour of the United States and Canada. Established in 1948, the Mazowsze Ensemble did not make its first public appearance until 1950 in Warsaw. The colorful company has enjoyed unbounded success since that time. In addition to folk music from all parts of the country, the repertoire of the ensemble includes songs and dances taken from the region about the Polish capitol. The director of the ensemble is Mira Ziminska-Sygietynska. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1961 Peace Corps Examinations Given Tomorrow al Cily Posl Office Any American citizen desiring to serve in the Peace Corps has the opportunity to qualify by taking written examinations to be given throu ghout the country on October 7.

A special type has been desigm~d for those desiring to teach on the secondary or college level. Only those holding a bachelor's degree will be permitted to take this test. However, t h e candidate does not need to be an accredited teacher. The other type is for a ll other candidates. This test has no set passing grade, and the Corps members will be selected by background, special skills, and character ratings, as well as examination results. Dr. Nicholas Hobbs, Director of Selection for the Peace Corps, hopes to attract many citizens to the agricultural and industrial aspects of the Corps' work. In relation to this issue Mr. Hobbs stated, "We are receiving an increasing number of requests for such skills from prospective host countries. We will have to turn down t h ese requests if we are unable to meet their needs." Even though a prospective candidate has not filled out a questionnaire, he is eligible to take on e of the examinations tomorrow, provided he sees the person in charge of the Civil Service Commission testing center at the main Post Office tomorrow morning before testing begins. by J eanette Bucholtz Once again, Wilkes has received a subsidy which will enable it to meet its increasing expenses . Eastman Kodak has endowed Wilkes with a direct grant of $2,400 under the company's annual aid-to-education program. Wilkes is one of 58 colleges and universities to receive grants from Kodak this year. The grants are based on the number of graduates from these institutions who joined Kodak five years ago and are presently employed by the company. Kodak has contributed a total of $3,400 in direct grants to Wilkes since 1959. This year's grant is based on I. J . Swicklik, a 1949 Wilkes alumnus who was graduated with a B.S. degree in chemistry. Mr. Swicklik is now a research chemist for the Eastman Kodak Company of New York. The company's 1961 aid-to-education program calls for direct grants, fellowship awards, and special contributions totaling approximately $1 million.

A glance at the college calendar reminds us that the annual Homecoming Weekend is just two short weeks away. Many campus organizations have already begun to plan for the affair which promises to be one of the best yet. One of the functions of the Beacon staff with regard to this weekend will be the selection of the Homecoming Queen and her court. Nominations for queen may be made by any member of the student body and should be made in the form of a letter submitted to the Beacon. Students are asked to keep in mind the qualities of personality, academic ability, appearance and participation in extra-curricular activities when submitting their nominations. Only coeds who are members of the senior class are eligible. From the list of nominees, the members of Student Government and the members of the editorial board of the editorial board of the Beacon will select the Homecoming Queen and her court. The cooperation of the student body is requested in this effort and we are asking everyone to begin now to carefully consider his choice for the coed who will reign over the Homecoming celebration. ~::r';:~***************** The 'Beacon' Mailbox An unusual and welcome sight greeted us this past week in the form of some nine letters to the editor which were received on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, space did not permit our publishing of all the letters received. Needless to say, we are pleased to see the interest which has been generated in campus affairs. We are pleased also that students have recognized the Beacon as a means of communicating their opinions to their classmates as well as to the faculty and administration members. It is our sincere wish that such letters written on any subject which will appear frequently in the Beacon mailbox.

(Editor's Note: Because of limited space and similarity of letters contributed, several letters which were submitted do not appear in this issue.) Dear Editor, I feel it is my duty to lodge a complai nt about the apathetic and immature forces that are directing the 1961 Orientation Program. Too many upp erclassm en have shied away from responsible actions and are guiding Freshmen to carry trays and shine shoes while neglecting to guide them in the traditions of Wilkes College. If the goal of the orientation program is the annoyance of Freshmen, then the 1961 program has been successful; but if the goal of the program is the assimilation of the Freshmen into the strange world of college life, then the program has fail ed. The only reasonable cure for the errors of the program is the individual responsibility of each member of the upperclass. As amusing as it might be to have a lackey for three weeks, the Freshmen were never meant to be responsible for the needs of the upperclassmen. Strange as it might seem , it is the upp erclassmen, as experienced college students, who are responsible for the needs of the Freshman.

I have postponed writing this letter for a number of weeks, but I now realize that I should have spoken up last year. I am a senior at the college, and for the past few years have had the opportunity to witness the hazing period. The spirit of hazing is traditionally accepted as it should be, but when tradition oversteps the bounds of personal dignity, moderation is called for. It has reached that point. Let us examine the spirit of hazing. Is it not true that the purpose of that institution to create an atmosphere of good will among the students at the college? Why then must certain students seize upon this opportunity to impress upon the hapless freshman that he is an "all-powerful" individual who must be cow-towed to or else beware of the consequences. Another reason for hazing is to force the student to make friends more quickly by pulling the freshman class together through their common, unfortunate situation. In theory, this is a fin e idea, but in practice that is not the case. The day students form cliques, not beca use of hazing, but because they are from the same section of the area. The dorm students form close friendships within their own dorm and through inter-dorm rivalry. Both day and dorm students form friendships through class association. Therefore, how necessary is hazing? Yours truly, Harvey Stambler * * * Dear Editor, After reading last week's article on hazing, it made me realize that our program has much to be desired. Instead of making the Freshmen feel that they are a part of the college, it ridicules and sets them apart from the rest of the students. If upperclassmen would spend as much time helping the Freshmen as they do ridiculing them, not only the Freshman, but the college itself would certainly benefit. Respectfull y, Barry Witt * * * Dear Editor, In response to last week's article on the subject of hazing, I agree with those students who feel that the program n eeds modification. Because many dormitory students become intoxicated with power, the entire program falls short of its objectives. It is because of this, that the power of the over-zealous students must be curb ed. Sincerely yours, Carl Hirsch *** Dear Editor, Needless to say, our library staff was very pleased to see that three articles featured the Library in the first issue of the Beacon. We were particularly in agreement with Phil Siegel's plea to the student body to be more considerate of their colleagues, and particularly to check out books when r emoving them from the library. Our books from the main collection for two weeks, after which reminders are sent to the culprit and a fine of two cents per day is charged for every overdue book. Faculty memb ers do not receive any overdue notices, but as soon as it is known to us that a student wishes a book which is taken out by a faculty member, we call up the faculty member immediately. Reserve books and special assignments circulate for a restricted time and cannot be renewed. It is gratifying that from the students themselves comes a courageous voice stressing: "Only through cooperation, veracity, self-abrogation, and assiduous toil, can we retain and secure our well-cherished democratic ideals." I have visited many countries and university campuses where democracy is not fully understood. I was I Friday, October 6, 1961 Senior Saxophonist Gives Recital; Classics Featured in Concert by Jerry Shilanski A rare treat of mellow melodies, coming from the bell of Ed Y adzinski' s classical saxophone, will be available to the ears of Wyoming Valley next Thursday. The "swingin' cats" from TV Bandstand may not recognize the sounds that flow from this senior music education major's horn, but the lovers of "long hair" will be amazed by the unusual potential and techniques that can be demonstrated by a classical saxophonist. As Ed put it, "It's entirely different from 'rock and roll'," Ed, who is known at the colleg~ as somewhat of a virtuoso on the saxophone and clarinet, will climax his ten years of musical study on the evening of October 12, in the college gymnasium . The repertoire for his senior instrumental recital will contain many contemporary French works. In the past, very little classical music has been written for the saxophone. The saxophone is seldom heard in American or nonFrench symphony orchestras. Some of the selections on the program are: Concerto for Saxophone by Glazonouv; Concertino for Saxophone and Improvisation et Caprice by Eugene Bozza; Rapsodie for Saxophone, without a ccompaniment, by Debussy ; Pavanne by Maurice Ravel; Miniature Viennese March by Fritz Kreisler.

Last season the Colonels outplayed the Cadets only to drop a 12-0 decision on a blocked punt and a fumble. This will be th e third outing of the season for the Cadets who have em erged from their gridiron battles with Wagner and Wester n Maryland with victories. These wins have been impressive enough to get the ,Cadets a ninth place rating in the battle for the Lambert Cup, the symbol of Eastern small college football supremacy.

In last Saturday's soccer game with Wagner College the Ferrismen's defense sparkled to provide the team with its second consecutive victory and second shutout in as many games. Instrumental in this performance was one Charles "Chuck" Weiss, right fullback and co-captain. Chuck, a junior business major, time and again boomed the ball out of Wilkes territory when t h e Seahawks attempted to break the quick-acting Colonel defense. He played spirited and determin ed soccer in conspiring with his fellow defensemen to hold t he Wagner squad scoreless. As co-captain, with Ted Toluba, Chuck aids in knitting t he team together.

It is understandable that Mrs. Namisniak would pick this incident as the highlight of the summer tour that took her and thirty-one other college and high school professors 33,000 miles around the globe. This tour, sponsored under the auspices of the NEA, was open to all professors, on both the college and high school levels, who cared to go. Al t hough the visit with Mrs. N ehr u was th e standout of the tour, many other high points suggested the mselves to Mrs. N amisniak as she thoug ht back over the trip for the benefit of this reporter. She said that she could ne ver forg et standing on th e same road that the Apostl e P aul took to Corinth, the Indian school children who sang 'God Bless America' for the group in English, or the students she encounter ed who cherished the gift of a pencil. To show that the tour was int ended to be more than the travelogue it must have seemed, 1V1rs. Namisniak pointed ou t that the g r oup met th e heads of various educational institutions in every land tha t they visited. In addition, s he pointed out that most of the count ri es visited conduct summer classes and, t hat whenever possible, th e group sat in on these. It is virtually impossible to travel fo r two mont hs and not form any impr essions of the things you have seen. Having vis ited approximately eleven countries, stretching from P ortugal to Japan, Mrs. Namisniak was candid in her appraisal of what she saw and felt. A general ap praisal of the trip is in order for the grouv aia obtam a better overall unaerstanding of the countries it visited. lvus. Namisniak pointed out that the group were nev er treated ungraciously, that they always felt at home, anu that they never encountered any anti-American feeling. r eople were anxious to meet the tour members and always wantea to try out their English. The transportation facilities and the fooa were good, but cotfee was only available in the American embashies; that is the coffee that Amencans are willing to drink. She pomted out that Turkish coffee is strong enough to stand by itself. Although the Lrip md show the group that these countnes have come a long way in developing, there still is much that can be done, not the least of which is a mutual understanding of the problems that fac e us. Through trips like this, in which Americans meet and talk to natives, many mis understandings can be cleared away.

Scholastic Merit Won By Butler, Chapman In Dormitory Contest United Fund Dance Kicks Off 1Dollar-A-Student Drive for $1200 T h e Inter-Dormitory Council, through President Peter Greenburg, recently announced the winners of the Academic Dormitory Trophies for the past spring semester. These trophies are rotating awards presented every semester to the Men's and Women's Dormitories which have achieved the highest scholastic average for the preceding semester. The George Elliot A ward for the Male Dormitory with the highest academic average for the semester was presented to Butler Hall. The Beryl Cole Award for the Female Dormitory with the highest average went to Chapman Hall. The awards have only been in existence since the Fall Semester of 1960 and Chapman Hall has received the award on both presentations. The name of the dormitory receiving the award is inscribed on the trophy and this trophy is displayed in the dormitory for the period held by it. Famous Piano Virtuoso Will Perform at Gym Wednesday Evening Adam Kapuscinski, outstanding piano virtuoso, will appear in Wilkes College Gymnasium on Wednesday evening, October 18, at eight o'clock. Kapuscinski was born in Poland in 1913. His study of music began at the age of six under the tutelage of Alexander Michalowski, a pupil of Franz Liszt. While a student at the Warsaw Conservatory in 1934, he was sent to Vienna by the Polish Government. There, he competed as a composer of Polish Ballet Music, in international competition; he won first prize. When the Germans entered Poland in 19S9, he was made prisoner and was interned in a Nazi concentration camp. Escaping, he fled into East Poland, which shortly afterward was occupied by the Russians. Together with other Polish artists, Kapuscinski was sent to the Soviet Union where he participated in concerts directed by the Soviet Concert Management. When Russia entered the conflict against Germany, he enlisted in the Polish Army. When this army proceeded to Iran, Kapuscinski gave many conce1·ts for the Allied Armed Forces. As the army moved into Italy, he remained, at the Court's insistence, as music teacher to the Imperial Family, and, a ft er hostilities cased, he became an Iranian citizen and taught at Teheran Conservatory. While there, he was awarded the Homayoun Medal, the highest award g iven by the Shah. Kapuscinski came to the United States in August, 1960, encouraged by Arthur Rubinstein whom he had met while in Paris. He has played in New York at Town Hall in 1960 and again in 1961. He has been acclaimed by music critics in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Oslo, and Geneva as a pianist who "shows complete technical mastership and deep understanding." by Barbara Lore The United Fund Dance, sponsored by the freshman class tonight in the gymnasium, will launch this year's student United Fund campaign on campus. Lou Mattioli is general chairman of the affair featuring Bobby Baird and his band, providing both regular dance music and a special jam session. Both Lou Coopey, head of the student drive, and Dr. Charles B. Reif, over-all chairman, express confidence that the student goal of approximately $1200, or one dollar per student, can be easily attained. Dr. Reif recalls that in the past student contributions have reached the $2,000 mark, therefore, he believes that with a spirited effort by the student body, this year's goal can be easily surpassed. To facilitate solicitations, the student body has been divided into three categories, namely: Division A, all commuting students; Division B, all dormitory students; Division C, campus organizations. Because of the large number of students included in Division A, the solicitations will be handled on the basis of two one-week periods. During the first week, beginning tonight and ending next Friday, all contributions will be on an informal basis. At the kickoff dance tonight, a table will be set up as a collecting area, where day students can deposit their dollars. For the rest of this week, collecting stations will be at the Commons. This general solicitation will end next Friday at the compulsory class meetings. During the second week, Saturday, October 20 to Friday, October 27, the solicitations will be conducted differently.

Once again, Wilkes students are being called upon to contribute to the only charity which solicits funds here on campusthe United Fund. A goal of $1200 has been established, a goal which can be met if each individual student contributes just one dollar. Considering the many agencies served by the United Fund and the small sum required of each of us to maintain these services, we as students should take advantage of this opportunity to aid our fellow man. We should also feel a deep pride in contributing through the college, for by so doing, we are also demonstrating to the community our willingness to help in this effort. No doubt there are many students who, in addition to meeting with the campus solicitation, are also asked to contribute at their place of part-time employment. This is understandable, and in his instance, some reason exists for the individual's lack of participation in the campus drive. These individuals must not forget, however, their obligation to their college and some effort should be made here to divide the contribution between the college and the place of employment. Once again, we urge you to share our blessings. Do your part to meet the campus United Fund goal. A Poor Showing Upon scanning the college bulletin board this past week, we were alarmed at the notice declaring the results of the recent ca mpus election. No doubt, those who were elected are worthy of the positions which they are about to fill, as are most of the candidates in such an election. The portion of the· announcement which was most startling was that part which stated the total number of students who actually participated by casting a ballot. Statitstics show that a general feeling of indifference and lack of concern reigned over the student body. These statistics are as follows: sophomore class membersip, 304, those who voted, 102; junior class, 243 members, 101 voting; senior class, membership 212, participants in the election, 59. In terms of percentage, 33 % of the sophomore class voted, 41 % of the junior class turned out, and less than 30 % of the senior class stopped at the polls. The evidence is clear that most students show little concern for the affairs of their class, and in many cases, attend only the compulsory class meetings with little regard for what happens between such meetings. It is time that we began to realize the importance of our obligation to our class and to our fellow students. We as members of a class should have a desire to know what our class is doing as a unit and to have a part in helping it to accomplish its objectives.

Femininity Accentuated By Paris This Fall I WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - �WIUES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 13, 1961 Nurses Take Science Courses To Supplemenl Hospilal Training by Joe Klaips Wilkes College, this year as in the past, is host to student nurses from the local hospitals. These young ladies, 107 in all, represent the Nesbitt, the Wilkes-Barre General, and the Wyoming Valley hospitals. Their program has been planned for them by the student nursing directors at the hospitals, who are working in cooperation with the administration here. Because nursing is a three-year program, these student nurses, unlike students enrolled in a four-year program, will enter their junior year. In their junior year less time will be spent here on campus and more will be devoted to work and instruction in the hospitals. In their senior year, nurses select their major field of sudy, which may be anesthesia, operating room work or one of many other specialties. After completing this year, if they "make the grade," they are awarded a certificate in nursing. Their certificate is a symbol of their three years of hard work, but the story does not end here. Their training completed, the nurses take a State Board of Nurses examination to become licensed as registered professional nurses. After passing this examination many nurses will furth er their education by attending regular college classes for two years to get their Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. As freshm en, the Wilkes student nurses are beginning the process of discovering for themselves the rewarding careers to be found in the fields of nursing. Problems Experienced By Faculty Member Resemble Student Life by Gloria Zaludek Shall we add a new name to the Dean's List ? Dr. Konstantin Symmons, chairman of the sociology departm ent, r eceived an 'A' in a course this summer at the University of Colorado. Under the asupices of the National Science Foundation, Dr. Symmons r eceived a fellowship to the University's summer institute in anthropology. "It was no vacation," he sighed as h e described the intensive summer course given in all fi elds of anthropology. The course was for college teachers who have th eir degrees in fields other than anthropology. When asked what he found most troubl esome in the eighteen class Musicians Announce Society's Schedule For This School Year Alberta Barbini, president of the Young Musicians Society and a junior music major at Wilkes, recently announced the society's program for t he 1961-62 season. The opening of the season was marked with a dinner-dance in September for the members of the society who entered colleges as music majors. The program, including the r egular meetings on the second Sunday of each month is as follows: This Sunday, following the regular meeting, the Young Musicians String Quartette will present a program. On November 12 and December 3, George Pappa-Stavrou will present his Town Hall and New York recitals respectively for the Young Musicians. A motor trip to New York for an afternoon opera performance and in the evening the final concert in a series of five in Carnegie Hall is scheduled for December 10. The first meeting of 1962 on January 14 will be an Opera Workshop directed by Ferdinand Liva. On February 11, Herbert Rogers and George Pappa-Stavrou, concert artists, will direct a Piano Seminar. A two-piano recital by members of the Wilkes College Music Department will be the feature of March 10, and on April 10 a Conducting Workshop will be directed by Ferdinand Liva and William Gasbarro of the Wilkes faculty. On May 8 Mr. Gasbarro will direct woodwind soloists and ensembles, and at a dinner on Jun e 5 new officers of the society will be install ed. The ' first program open to t he public will be presented Saturday evening, October 14, at the Century Club, Scranto~, when the Society will present two of its Young Mu- NEW BOOKS New Books in Library Deal with Science, Education and Military by Maryalice l sganites One of the new books which the Library has added to its collection is The Other Child by Richard Lewis, Alfred Strauss, and Laura Lehtinen. The authors explain what a brain-injured child is, his psychopathology, and what his management and education should be. It may be read with profit not only by parents but by teachers, social workers, and all those who take an interest in children and in the impact of "otherness" on both the affected individual and society. Our male readers are sure to find Gene Lyons' Education and Military Leadership a book worth reading. In this book Mr. Lyons presents a study of the ROTC. H e views this vital problem in the context of the American educational system and concludes that civilian colleges and universities must begin to educate the military as they do for oth er professions. The persistence of war even a mong civilized peoples can be attributed largely to psychological motives which Freud's work enables us to recognize. Alix Strachey, in her book entitled The Unconscious Motives of War, probes some of the less widely understood motives and shows that they spring not merely from the deeper mental levels of the individual as a private person, but from his attitudes of mind as a member of a group - in this case, the state or nation to which he belongs. Those who enjoy seafaring adv entures might try Charles Daugherty's Searchers of the Sea: Pioneers in Oceanography.

Dr. Mui Explains Research Aims Involved in Tea-Drinking Sludy by Lynn Dente 3 Peace Corps Advisor Returns For Tuesday Meelings in Slark A field representative for the Peace Corps, Mrs. Marie Ross, will be on campus all day next Tuesday after 11:30 a.m. to talk to students and faculty members. Meetings have been scheduled for noon in Stark 109 and at 3 p.m. in Stark 306. If these times are inconvenient, alternate ones can be arranged through Mr. Morris' office in Chase Hall, Mrs. Ross' headquarters for the day. Mrs. Ross will be available to answer any questions a student or faculty member may have concerning the Peace Corps, be they personal or general. A talk with her can resolve many of the vague areas concerning the Corps. Science Study Promoted By National Foundation by Alice Bakun To further the progress of science the National Science Foundation plans to award approximately 2,500 graduate and 135 postdoctoral fel lowships for the academic year of 1962-1963. College seniors and faculty interest ed in these fields of study may obtain stipends from the Foundation providing they have the proper qualifications. A wards will be granted only to: 1. United States citizens or nationals or those wh o will be United States citizens or nationals by March 1, 1962. 2. those having demonstrated ability and special aptitude for a d v a n c e d training in the sciences. 3. those who will have been admitted to a graduate school prior to the beginning of the fellowship. Types Graduate fellowships are of three types: 1. First Year Fellowships for those pursuing Master's Degrees. Annual stipend will be $1800. 2. Intermediate Fellowships for those having their Masters' Degrees and pursuing the doctoral degree. Annual stipend will be $2000. 3. Terminal Year Fellowships for t hose who expect to attain the doctoral degree within one year after the beginning of the grant. Annual stipend for this type amounts to $2200. Married candidates will also receive an additional allowance of $500 together with $500 for each dependent child and aid to help defray traveling expenses. Selection Recipients of the awards will be selected on the basis of academic records and recommendations of ability, scores on examinations testing scientific aptitude and achievement, as well as other evidence of potential ability. As I waited for Dr. Mui I could hear bits of his conversation with one of his wide-eyed advisees. "We're supposed to establish h armonious relationships and all that, you know," he told Application the eager Frosh. Having had Dr. Mui for a history course, I Applicants may obtain applicaknew this was typical of his particular wit, and felt he would tion forms and furth er information provide me with an interesting story. I explained the nature of my visit, and before I began to by writing to: The Fellowship Office ask my previously written questions, Dr. Mui explained that National Academy of Sciences although he received his research grant from the Social Science National Research Council Research Council last spring, he and Mrs. Mui began their work 2101 Constitution Ave., N .W. dealing with the Economic and Social Effects of Tea Drinking Washington 25, D.C. Applications must be received by On the British Empire in 1956. Konstantin Symmons hours per week, Dr. Symmons mentioned three problems which may sound vaguely familiar to many students. He said that the hour and a half classes made him realize the difficulty students have in sustained listening. He admitted that objective t ests are trying. And he did not like the vagueness of what was going to be covered on examinations. (continued on page 6) When I asked Dr. Mui to be a little more specific about his subject h e explained that he and his wife questioned the importance of the tea monopoly of the East India Company: how did the monopoly eff ect India, which was under British co ntrol?; who drank the t ea? In answer to these questions Dr. Mui said that the profit of the com pany did contribute to the establishment of the British Empire and the expansion of the company in India. His answer to the second question was surprising in that he stated only the richest and the poorest were the greatest tea drink ers in the late 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The rich considered drinking tea fashionable and the poor couldn't afford any other beverages. Later the gap between the two groups began to close. Tea was also considered a r elaxing beverage in that people took time from work to brew and drink it. When I told Dr. Mui that I had first thought that this project was of a sociological nature, h e explained that he and Mrs. Mui are attempting to combine sociological theories with economic history. The regulation of the tea trade was an integral part of the administration of William Pitt and this problem entailed all types of social customs and ramifications. In answer to my question concerning the grant itself, Dr. Mui explained that the grant allows both he and Mrs. Mui to make one trip a year to study pertinent manuscripts in the Huntingdon Library at San Marino, California and the Harvard Library at Cambridge, Mass. This grant enabled him and Mrs. Mui to complete their work. Now that their research has been completed, the Mui's plan to test their conclusions and analyze their material. Later, they hope to publish the results of this extensive project. the Foundation no later than January 5, 1962. Recipients of t he awards will be announced on March 15, 1962. Postdoctoral Study Postdoctoral fellowsh ips are also being off ered in the same fields. Candidates must have the same g e n e r a I requirements as those working for their graduate degrees, gree or having research training and experience equivalent to such a degree. Application material may be obtained by writing th e Fellow' ship Office at the above address. Along with the above two types, the Foundation is sponsoring fel lowships for science faculty and summer fellowships for secondary sch ool teachers. It is also administering for other agencies NATO postdoctoral science fellowships and OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) Senior Visiting Fellowships for study abroad for senior scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. Her trip to Wilkes is a part of a nationwide information campaign, conducted by the Peace Corps, to explain the principles of the program and the opportunities available for work throughout the world. Initially, those interested must complete a P eace Corps Questionnaire, obtainable from Mr. Morris. Although it may be possible to take the P eace Corps test without submission of an application, such submission ens ures a place when t h e test is administered. November 28 and 29 are set as the next test dates, at which time they will be given in Wilkes-Barre at the Post Office. The test, itself, takes approximately 5½ hours, starting at 8:30 a .m. The alternate dates are to enable students to take the test at the more convenient t ime. The November test date is especially recommended for seniors who are interested in joining the Peace Corps immediately upon graduation. Notification of acceptance or r ejection of those tested in November will be given by the middle of next March for the program starting next June 15. This will allow enough time for students to make arrangements with any graduate schools they may plan on attending. Details of the test can be obtained next Tuesday. Practically, besides providing an excellent opportunity for work in an overseas country, the Peace Corps offers many advantages. Training received is almost impossible to acquire elsewhere. The two-year tour, including t h e several months training program, provides opportunities for character development and expan sion not available in many other ways. Although the Corpsman will not be living on the highest level, he will not be living on the lowest level of living in the country. This depends entirely on the position held. For example, a teacher in Tanganyika would li ve on the level of a native t eacher, which in that country is quite high. Although no salary is given, several methods of remuneration are possible. Primarily, $75 a month is applied to the Corpsman's account in the United States to be us ed as he wishes. This money, however, may not be used in the country the Corpsman is working in. A government allowance is provided that completely covers all living expenses for the Corpsman from the minute h e is officially a m ember of the Corps until he is released from service. In addition, a 2½ day· leave is provided for every month in the Corps . This leave ca11 be cumulati ve at the regular allowance plus $5 a day and traveling- expenses to encoura ge travel in the country or surrounding areas.

College Misericordia will furnish the opposition for the first field hockey team in the history of Wilkes athletics. by Dale Jones The football team travels to Collegeville tomorrow to take on the Bears of Ursinus College in an effort to pick up their first win of the season. The Colonels will be trying to rid itself of the seemingly inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities and to get itself into the win column. Last year the Bears ruined the Wilkes Homecoming with a 14-7 victory. The team works out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the new Wilkes Athletic Field next to Kirby Park at 4 p.m. The team is made up of eleven players and Coach Saracino has not a set lineup thus far. Any girl interested in playing on the team should report to the Kirby Park field on practice days. No experience is n ecessary to play but a firm interest and will to play are the main ingredients for a candidate for the squad. Although the team is not a member of a league this season, Mrs. Saracino has several games scheduled for this year with a league membership set for next season.

Nineteen lettermen wear the red, gold and black uniform this season and have been responding to their schedule like world-beaters. Last week a last minute touchdown gave a strong Johns Hopkins team a 13-7 win over the Bears. The gridders lost their sceond game of the season on Saturday as they bowed to PMC, 7-0. Almost 3,000 people saw a fighting Wilkes squad move the ball well during the entire game but fail to cross the line into scoring land. It was a little bit of luck ·that put the Cadets on the score card as Crate was hit on the four-yard line by a viciou s tackle and fumbled. Cadet fullback Nick Trainer pounced on the ball in the end zone and the game was won. In the second quarter the Colonels threatened when a Gubanich to MacLaughlin pass put the ball on the PMC 15. But the Cadets dug in a nd a field goal attempt by Larry Turel was wide. The third quarter saw Wilkes' ground attack start rolling. With Tom Krisulevicz, Dick Capitan , and John Gardner pulling large chunks of yardag e with driving runs, the drive settled on the Cadet 10. A Gubanich pass was intercepted to halt this drive. In the final period Bill Schwab led the Colonels in their final threat. With Hardy and Krisulevicz eating up yardage the threat reached the eleven.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Shawneeites, Butler Lead 'Touch' Gridders, Russo Leads Indians with Two Touchdowns 'Kris' Cited for Outstanding Game The 12-team intramural touch football leagu e rounded out its first week of play late Thursday afternoon. The games were incomplete at the time of this writing, with the Goremen and Hollenback meeting on W ednesday and the Boozers opposing the Bandits on Thursday. This week the accolade of Beacon Athlete of the Week goes to Tom "The Bomb" Kri sul evicz, senior secondary education ma jor.

Four downs are allowed to reach the center of the field. From there four down s are allowed for a score and points after touchdowns may be scored by passing or rushing. The games are divided into four 15-minute quarters with a sixminute break betwe en halves. Phil Russo, the Indian with Exeter blood, scored twice for the Shawneeites on passes from Pugh. J. P. McAndrews also crossed into scoring land twice with a speedy pair of punt returns to pay dirt. T osh Karmilovich and John T ensa ended the TD spree for the defending champions. Lee Wasileski, a Shawneeite loaned to t h e Tribunals for th e game, scored the lone tally for the losers. In the Dorm league the Butler Hall six sent out early warnings for league contenders with an impressive 34-6 win over the hapless Bennett Hall team. Ed Rogalski led the assault on the frosh dorm with two touchdowns while Joe Kruczek, Ziegler, and Smithson scored a touchdown each. Tom Krisulevicz Next week's schedul e finds the Rockets and Mau-Maus meeting on Monday and Ashley and Barre tangling on Tuesday. On Wednesday the Shawneeites will try to make it two in a row when they meet the Bandits while Butler will try for number two on Thursday when they meet Hollenback. rushing.

Next, Gore Hall did a takeoff on "Life in a Bomb Shelter". The boys seemed to be plagued with "fallout" problems in a sketch lightly sprinkled with sarcasm and wit. McClintock did a satire on the attributes of wholesome cafeteria. Sterling Hall shined with a really humorous and well-executed mockery of the freshman tribunals. Weiss Hall's theme was beatnik with Howarth doing a skit on dormitory characters. This particular presentation seemed bent on pelting campus personalities with rotten tomatoes. Bennett Hall concentrated on a lofty U.N. caricature. The audience is still wonder ing what a "whitby" is. Finally Hollenback Hall did a portrait of "Snow White and the Six Dwarfs" .

Sharing the spotlight with our gracious Queen are Their Royal Highnesses, Rachel Altavilla and Carol Thomas. THE 1961 HOMECOMING QUEEN IS LEONA A. BAIERA. This announcement, which will bring tears of joy and moments of mixed emotion, to at least one happy senior coed, is the official word. There need be no more speculation. The Princesses will reign with Queen Leona Baiera throughout Homecoming.

Lee, as she is known to her friends , is a charming brown-haired beauty with flashing hazel eyes. A winning smile, a most pleasing personality, and an effervescent spirit are the virtues that characterize our attractive Homecoming Queen. A torchlight parade, a bonfire, and a car caravan are being planned by the School Spirit Committee in conjunction w i t h Homecoming Week end. The torch parade will leave Stark Hall tonight at 7 p.m. and will proceed to Kirby Park, site of the bonfire. The bonfire is slated to begin at 7 :30 p.m. J erry Shilanski, chairman of School Spirit, will act as master of ceremonies at the Bonfire. In this capacity, he will introduce the Homecoming queen and her attendants, the football and soccer teams, the cheerleaders, Kickline, Majorettes, the Collegians, and the Wilkes Colonel, Don Ungemah. Shilanski has announced that a surprise will be unveiled at the bonfire. A sound unit, courtesy of N ardy's and lighting from the 109th Field Artillery unit will also be in use at the bonfire. The car caravan to the Lycoming game will leave from the Chase Hall parking lot on Saturday at 1 p.m. The Homecoming queen and her attendants and Dr. Eugene S.

She has worked as a waitress at Atlantic City, N.J., as salesgirl in a local women's apparel shop, and last summer she obtained an emergency teaching certificate to work as a playground instructor for the West Pittston School Board. Queen Lee and her court will reign over all the a ctivities planned for the Fourteenth Annual Homecoming. Her regal role begins with the publication of this article; perhaps you will know the answer to t he big secret even before her royal highness sees the Beacon. A senior class gift committee under the chairmanship of Mary Ann Foley was selected at a r ecent meeting of the class executive council. The committee is requesting that all suggestions for a class m emorial gift be placed in one of the suggestion boxes which will be located at strategic points on campus starting Monday. The class memorial fund will contain an estimated $1400 at the close of the academic year and students are asked to keep this in mind. Deadline for suggestions is Dec. 1. Committee members assisting Miss Foley are Dave Edwards, Mimi VasKorlis, Louise Gatto, Marion Ripple, and Wayne Thomas. Queen Lee, who came to Wilkes as a freshman in 1958, has been an active participant in various extracurricular activities. She is presently serving as a Student Government representative for t he class of '62. She is publicity chairman of this organization and she served as chairman of the "Come and Meet Us" dance during the freshman orientation this year. She is a Beacon reporter, a member of the Education Club, the National Education Association, the Pennsylvania State Education Association, and she has served as publicity chairman and Treasurer of Theta Delta Rho.

During her senior year she was chosen Valentine Queen. She will make her first public ap pearan ce tonight in the Torchlig ht Parade to the Bonfire and P ep Rally, where she will be formally introduced to the student body. �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITOlUALS- The Changing Campus Scene The alumni returning to campus this weekend are seeing two new additions in the form of recently acquired buildings. Howarth Hall, a women's dormitory on South Franklin Street and Bennett Hall, a men's dormitory on South River Street were opened to students at the beginning of this semester. Many changes have altered the appearance of the college since its founding. Many of these changes h ave taken place in the last several years and have been occuring at a rapid rate. The expansion shown by the college is seen not only in the acquisition of new buildings, but may be seen also in the enlargement of its staff, the addition of new courses, and the many intangible things which help to make a college great. Returning alumni are urged this w eekend to tour the campus. More than this, however, they are asked not merely to look at the many worthwhile displays, but also to observe the m a n y improvements which have brightened the college outlook during the past year. We as members of the Wilkes College student body and as alumni must be thankful to all who have helped to bring this about. We can truly say as a college that we a re able "to look onward with courage and backward with pride." A Job Well Done th A reminder that the campus United Fund Drive is now under way and your support is needed is in order at this time. With one week behind us and one week remaining in which to reach the goal, all those who have not done so as yet are urged to make their contributions as soon as possible. Remember, the efforts of the campus chairmen and volunteer workers will all be in vain if each and every one of us does not do his share to help out. Help the college to reach its goal of $1200 in the comin g week. It was recently called to my at- t ention by a local political party headquarters that Wilkes College is the only college in Luzern e County which does not have a campus political party. At other colleges these political parties fun ction in co-ordination with the local political organizations in their area. The campus part ies sponsor rallies, solicit for the party, and engage in oth er useful and civic activities. It would be a worthwhile project and invaluable service to the college as well as the community, if the students at Wilkes would organize such groups. First of all, campus parties would acquaint the college student with the innerworkings of the American political parties. Secondly, it would make t he college student more aware of n ational and intern ational issues. Finally, campus parties would help to facilitate students in electing h onest and qualified officeholders. Thus, t his would make America a stron ger and better country. Anyone interested in campus parties sh ould atten d t h e meeting at 4 p.m. today in room 306 in Stark Hall.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - STUDENT SKETCH Letter to e F.ditor • · • Senior After weeks of waiting and preparation, Homecoming Weekend is at last upon us. The identity of this year's Homecoming Queen has been revealed, the decorations are in their final stages of construction, and the best part of the entire program lies just around the corner. Homecoming provides all of us with an excellent opportunity to greet old friends and to enjoy the social side of college life. Surely at this time, gratitude must be extended to all hose who have helped to bring about this weekend of activities. The many hours of planning and preparation put into the Homecoming by students, faculty, alumni, administration, and community volunteers alike typifies the spirit felt by these people for the college. To all of these goes our thanks for a job well TRES CHIC done. A Reminder Friday, October 20, 1961 Accounling Major Aclive In College and Community Affairs by J erome Krasa An old adage holds that to have a job well done, you should give it to a busy man. This is certainly true of Clyde Roberts, who in his years at Wilkes has been active in both college and community affairs. It is easy to see why Clyde, a remarkable personality and a sharp wit, has been able to successfully combine college work with the great many extracurricular activities in which he participates. He brings to his seemingly easy going ways a determination to get a job done once he starts it. One sign of the drive that makes Clyde seek perfection is his present position as president of t h e Wilkes Chapter of Jaycees. In addit ion , he is t h e treasurer and a charter member of t he Accounting Club. A lover of sports, Clyde is playing soccer for the fourth year at Wilkes, presently at the center for ward posit ion. He commented that he had never played soccer before coming to W ilkes and t hat h e found the sport great. He has been a Letterman for the past two years. Active in community affairs, h e is superintendent of the F irst Welsh Presbyterian Sunday School in Edwardsville. His love of sports also carries over into his activities in the community. For the past two years, he has been a member of the Wyoming Valley Banker s' Bowling League.

Tomalis Econ Club Head His past work experience is varied. For the past two summers, he has worked as a nigh t auditor at Bushkill Falls. Demonstrating that he can put his knowledge to practical application, Clyde is presently a lab instructor in the Accounting Department. He noted that the Acco unting Department at Wilkes is very good. At the regular meeting of the Economics Club h eld t his past Tuesday, Tom Tomalis, junior business major, was elected to the post of vice-president, a position which was left vacant by t he resignation of the former vice-president. It has been announced that the membership will be h eld open one more week, until the m eeting on Tuesday, October 24. This will be a very important meeting sin ce details of the forthcoming field trip will be di scussed. Flyers concerning further details will be distr ibuted. In talking about Wilkes in general, Clyde pointed out that t he college was providing a great service for, not only him and his fellow students, but the community as a whole. "Wilkes is right for the community," he added.

The profit realized from the freshmansponsored dance held last Friday evening in the gym was $145. Lou Coopey, head of the student drive, states that he has received only a little over $100 from the students. As can be seen from the above figures, support for the drive seems to be lacking among students. The $1200 student goal may still be asily achieved if each student will spare one dollar as requested. The money collected will be used to sustain fifty-two health and welfare agencies throughout the Valley. Dr. Charles Reif, campus chairman of the drive, has announced that as of Tuesday morning approximately $4500 has been collected from faculty members, the administration, and the mainteance staff. In the week ahead representatives of each class will contact by phone all those who have not already contributed. Chairmen of these solicitations include Jerry Krasa, senior class; Jeanette Bucholtz, junior class; Mimi Wilson, sop homore class; and Mike Mosteller, freshman class. Contributions of the dormitory students are being handled by Peter Greenberg, president of the InterDormitory Council, with the aid of the respective dorm president. This year's theme for the United Fund drive is "Be a people helper." Down-East University Scraps Tradition to Revitalize Education Durham, N.H. (LP.) - Entitled "The University and the Future", the 120-page report relea sed by a six-member Committee on Academic Programs and Teaching Methods at the University of New Hampshire highlights these conclusions: 1. The University may be obliged to abandon its traditional twosemester academic year in favor of a three-semester or quarterly calendar. Eith er system will require 12-month operation. 2. Undergraduate courses are too narrow in scope. Education should come in "larger packa ges" to eliminate duplication, small classes, and proliferation of courses. 3. Professional programs are too narrow. The report urges that every student from English major to electrical engineer should attend a required series of liberal arts courses and follow a mandatory "great books" program of outside reading. "Its unique feature ," says Dr. Allan A. Kuusisto, professor of Government, who chaired the committee's study, "is that it was faculty sponsored and faculty conducted. Similar studies have been conducted at other colleges, but in most cases the administration played the lion's role if not the exclusive role." The study was proposed by the Faculty Council and the University Sen ate Curriculum Committee. President Eldon L. J ohnson named six faculty members to the task. Three of the professors were relieved from their teaching duties; the others worked with the committee on a half-time basis. They were given a budget of $18,000 and the authority to call in outside consultants. The professors went to work with tape measures, questionnaires, and a cold eye for tradition. Their report gave low marks to the University's approach to liberal education, a goal they found to be overshadowed in all three colleges by an emphasis on professional undergraduate training. They urged that every student should take a year's work in English, history, science, social studies, and the humanities, in addition to a four-year independent reading program. "Remedial courses in English and mathematics should be gi ven in the summer prior to entrance," the report noted, and fa- Dr. and Mrs. Farley to Be Honored at AWS Affair Associated Women Students will sponsor a breakfast in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Farley on November 11 at 9 a.m. in Hotel Sterling. Tickets will be available to all students, faculty members, administrators, and office personnel of the college for two dollars. Cynthia Hagley, president pro tern of the organization, announced that the next meeting date is Tuesday at 12:15 in Pickering 203. At this time the group will examine the new women's lounge in Pickering, decide upon a constitution for the organization, and discuss future projects. Tickets for the breakfast will also be distributed to the membership. Discussion of Dr. Dorothy J . Lipp's interview will be held at this time. Dr. Lipp, Dean, Pennsylvania State University, held an informal information session with a committee of A.W.S. members when she was on campus r ecently. The constitution committee appointed at last year's special women's assembly, and the women who talked with Dr. Lipp, are urged to attend Tuesday's meeting. All coeds from every class are in vited to attend. Accountants List Speaker University of Delaware Parking Rules Sparked By Increased Enrollment Dean of _Stu~ents John E. Hocutt ofttl~e dUmversityfof Dthelawua:e ha_s ou me reasons or e mvers1ty's policies with respect to studentoperated motor vehicles. Beginning with the 1961-62 academic year, only commuters will be eligible to operate motor vehicles on campus and in the city. With greatly increased enrollments forecast for the next decade, land which the University now owns or will purchase must be used for academic buildings or dormitories. Recent bids submitted on parking areas and driveways call for an expenditure of approximately $235 per car accomodated. These figures include only grading and surfacing and do not include the much greater cost of the land itself or the building of high-rise parking fac ilities. "When funds for basic educational programs and faculty salaries already are so difficult to obtain, we believe it would be unwise, indeed, to invest such large amounts in parking lots," Dean Hocutt added. Many other colleges and universities, especially those in small communities, already have a policy similar to that which the University has initiated. Under the provisions of the Student Motor Vehicle Code, students who commute daily from their homes and who live at such distances from the campus that travel by automobile is necessary will be given priority. Special permits also will be made available by the Dean of Student's staff to resident students who have a physical disability which makes travel by automobile necessary. While these regulations have been enacted as a solution to financial and parking problems, there also are important educational advantages to be realized. As has been true on other campuses where automobiles have been restricted, academic performance has uniformly improved. Moreover, social, cultural, and intellectual programs, specially on weekends, have shown similar and not unrelated improvement. Studies at other universities have shown an inverse relationship between high academic performance and the operation of a motor vehicle on campus by undergraduate students. On Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Room 35 of Parrish Hall, Mr. Clerio P in, a graduat e of Scranton University and a Supervisory Auditor of the United States General Accounting Office, will speak to the Accounting Club and all interested persons.

Univ. of Washington to Meet Teacher Demand Under Foundation Grant An excellent program whose purpose is to increase the supply of t eachers in colleges and universities has been initiated by the University of Washington in cooperation with other institutions of higher education in the Pacific Northwest. The other schools participating in the program: Western, Central and Eastern Colleges of Education; Gonzaga University and Whitman College. The Cooperative Program of Education for College and University Teaching, as it is known, was made possible by a grant from the Ford Foundation, and seeks to encourage superior undergraduates in the participating institutions to proceed to graduate study in their chosen fields. Since the purpose of the program is to meet an increasing demand for college and university teachers, its emphasis is in the area of the Arts and Sciences, and in particular, in the fields of chemistry, English, history, languages, mathematics, and physics. However, exceptional students in other major fields will also be considered for selection. The program is designed to extend over a period of three years, commencing with the student's junior year and following through to the completion of the first year of graduate work at the University of Washington. Most of the students in the program would be able to earn a Master's degree by the end of their first year of graduate work. Each undergraduate selected for the program will be awarded a pre. graduate assistantship, and will work under the direction of a professor in his chosen field. The professor will use the services of the assistant in such a way that the work done is of positive assistance to the professor in the dis charge of his duties in teaching and research, and, at the same time, gives the assistant some instruction and experience in college and university activities. In addition, a pre-graduate counselor at each institution will advise the student concerning his general program of studies, while coordinators from the University of Washington representing each of the major departments involved in the program, will be available for consultation concerning the student's program as it relates to his plans for graduate study. The Warner Trio, specialists of vocal music, will provide special entertainment. The group is comprised of George Evancho, sophomore ; Ronald Borick, junior; and Robert King, senior. The group has appeared professionally in many local night spots. Art Club Sets Plans for New York Trip, Exhibits by Mary Frances Barone The Art Club has planned an overnight trip to New York on November 4 and 5. The members will see the Metropolitan Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and the Frick collection. The cost of the trip is ten dollars. A five dollar deposit is requested before October 28 and the balance is to be paid by October 28 to Michael Stretanski. There are still a few seats available and reservations can be made by contacting any member of the Art Club. The Art Club will hold its first demonstration of the year on Tuesday, October 24 at 12 :00 till 1 :00 p.m. at Conyngham Annex. There will be a discussion on materials, preparing the surface, and stretching paper. The demonstration will be given by Ed Kay, a senior art major. Long range plans are being made for the annual events, the Art Fair and the Artists and Models Ball. Four hundred people attended the Art Fair last year. Plans for the fair include some displays repeated from last year and new ideas are being worked on. The fair has been expanded to two days. The fair will be climaxed by the Artists and Models Ball which is a "costume only" affair with prizes. It is similar to the annual Artists and Models Ball of New York. At present, the Art Club is making a sign for the United Fund campaign. Mike Crush, a member of the group, is making a sign for Conyngham Annex for indentification purposes. In late November, the Club will show five films fr ee to all students. The subjects of the film are of a "How to" nature concerning arts and crafts. Bob Hrynkiw is in charge of the films. In this way the student will be able to acquire a sound liberal education, and at the same time, meet, well in advance, the specific requirements for admission to a graduate school. �4 WI.LKIS COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 29, 1961 Warriors Are Homecoming Opponents ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Tackle Brunza's Jarring Defense Earns Him "Beacon" Laurels This issue's Athlete of the Week award goes to James "Jungle Jim" Brunza, senior Secondary Education major.

This year the coeds will add a new chapter to the sports history of Wilkes College by fielding a field hockey squad. In past years the ' girls have been hampered by the lack of a sufficient playing field, but with the athletic plant becoming a reality a hockey field was set up. For the past three weeks the girls have been working out under the direction of their coach, Mrs. Doris Saracino. The team has been actively developing individual t echniques and skills while improving team play. An away clash with College Misericordia on Tuesday initiates the season for the Colonel coeds. Additional matches with G.A.R. and Misericordia will be staged throughout October. Headquarters for WILKES JACKETS Lettered LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER 11 E. Market St. - Wilkes-Barre - and Narrows Shopping Center Kmgaton - Edwardsville Colonels Meet Lycoming Tomorrow; Try for Initial Season Victory by Dale Jones Lycoming College will provide the competition for the football team in the 14th annual Homecoming program tomorrow afternoon. Kickoff time is listed for 2 p.m. at the Wilkes College Athletic Field. The Colonels will be out for their first win of the season in an effort to get themselves out of last place of the Northern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Last weekend the Wilkesmen dropped their third · consecutive one-touchdown game when the Ursinus Bears thundered back for two last quarter scores for a 12-6 win. Last weekend the Warriors of Lycoming tied a fighting Drexel Tech squad, 6-6, and showed a crashing forward wall that kept the Dragon offense at bay for most of the afternoon. With the Colonels featuring a rock-like line, a great game of line play is expected. Of particular interest will be the duel between the Kingston ends. The Blue and Gold feature three former Huskies at the wing posts with Richard Rees, Larry Turel, and Rog er MacLaughlin, while the Warriors have Bill Ainsworth working from the right end slot. Ainsworth is a junior at the Williamsport college and has started as a wingman for the past three seasons. Another local product playing end for the Lycomingmen is Wes Evans, a freshman from Dallas, who will spell Ainsworth from time to time. Ursinus 12, Wilkes 6 Last S a t u r d a y the Colonels seemed on their way in ending the victory drought that has hung over them when a sophomore quarterback named Ray Emert unleashed an aerial barrage that sank the Colonel hopes. Both teams were scoreless until the final period. With Ursinus on their own five, Emert was hit by a vicious tackle by Jim Brunza and fumbled . Colonel guard J erry Mohn recovered the loose pigskin in the end zone for a Wilkes touchdown. With time running out and a Parents Day crowd screaming for a comeback the Bears took to the airlanes. Emert hit his ends with short button-hook passes to chew up yardage before throwing a 10-yard scoring pass to Dave Khor. The drive covered 73 yards. After the kickoff the Colonels fumbled the slippery ball and the Bears took possession on their own forty-five. Emert went into action again and once again sent the Bears into scoring land with a pass. In the two drives Emert hit on nine passes for a total of 98 yards. Once again the Colonels outrushed their opponents, 127 yards to 101, but the Colonels could only collect seven yards on passes. Penalty-wise the Colonels collected a whop ping 98 yards as compared to 15 against the home club. Tom Kri sule vicz was the top groundgainer for Wilkes, picking up 48 yards.

The Hofstra team app ears to have the same fine offense it displayed last year. The only common opponent of the Ferrismen and Hofstra thus far has been Wagner College, who lost to Hofstra, 6-0, and to t he Colonels, 3-0. Last Saturday the soccer team journeyed to Gettysburg, only to drop a hard-played 5-2 match to the Bullets in the rain and cold wind. The home team's offense was spearheaded by the combination of Taylor and Johnson. Taylor collected four assists and a 13core, as Johnson accounted for three tallies.

Again in this game, the Wilkes offense failed to materialize to any great extent, as difficulties arose in moving the ball past the eighteen yard circle. The defensive secondary, with a few notable exceptions, played its usual strong game. Rider 2, Wilkes 0 This past Wednesday, the soccer team lost to a fast, strong Rider College eleven, 2-0, in a well-played game. Rider goals were scored by Sam Farrante, in the first period, and Henry Glover, in the second. Farrante, a center halfback, played an excellent match against Coach Ferris' charges. He was nominated to t he All-American squad last year and should repeat this season. The game, which was played in favorable weather conditions for a change, saw the Wilkes eleven put forth a determined effort against the h ighly regarded Rider team. Fine play by the entire squad prevented the visitors from running up the score as they had in last year'.s contest. That game was a 14-0 humiliation of the Colonels. Frank Lepore, Chuck Weiss, and Tom Tomalis gained nominations to the ECAC All-East team as a result of their play in the Rider match. •*********************** TONY'S S.

STUDENT WEEKLY Vol. XXVI, No. 6 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKF.S-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA lnler-Pormilory Council Drive To Aid Foreig~ Student The Inter-Dormitory Council is sponsoring a clothing drive in connection with the Save the Children Federation. One of the facets of this organization is selecting needy children from abroad for sponsorship by individuals and organizations all over the world. From this federation, the I.D.C. received the name of Polyzoes O. Marrommatis, a child from Athens, Greece, whom they "adopted" last spring. "Zoes", as he is called for short, is the obj ect of this particular cldthing drive · which will be held for a two week period. This twelve year old boy can use clothes of any kind with particular emphasis on shoes, socks, shirts, and trousers. His sizes are: shoes, 6; socks, 9; shirt, 14; trouser waist, 24 inches; trouser length, 24 inches. The clothing will be collected at the Bookstore. Any other size of clothing will be forwarded to the federatfon for use by other children. Collecting the clothes now will insure its arrival at Athens before Christmas. School supplies are also acceptable. All members of the student body are inviJted to participate in this project. As for Zoes, a· future generation of Wilkes s'tudents will probably know him personally. Dr. Farley has agreed to award a full-tuition scholarship including room and board to Zoes when he reaches college age. Nancy Pala~zolo is chairman of the drive and is assisted by Carol Thomas. These coeds are ready to answer any questions on Zoes and his background. The !Il!ter-Dormitory Council has appointed a committee to develop a list of suggested changes in women's dormitory hours. This liSlt will be presented to the Administrative Council for approval at their November 7 meeting. Code Classes Conducted By Amateur Radio Club; Open House Planned The Radio Club has announced an active membership of approximately thirty with Dr. Daniel Detwiler as ·its faculty advisor. The club, localted on foe first floor of Pickering Hall, owns four high)owered receivers, two transmitters md a variable frequency oscillator, .vhich enables t he club to operate ;wenty-four hours a day. The club has contacted radio enthusiasts in distant places such as A.rizona, Florida, Nova Scoltia, and Quebec. The members are all capable of operalting and maintaining the complicated apparatus. Dick Emmel, president of the club, informed the Beacon t hat the Radio Club will hold an open house on the first Friday in December for all interested in observing the radios in action. Funthermore, the club will hold code classes for inlterested students who wish to obtain their ham licenses.

We must be constantly aware of the fact that we are Wilkes College students and will be recognized as such no matter where we may be. The reputation gained by the college is one which is developed not only by members of the administration or faculty, but also by members of the student body. The actions of a group of students are immediately attributed to the college and to the student body in general. For this reason, we must constantly be aware of our responsibiliy and conduct ourselves in a manner which will bring respect and dignity rather than contribute to a poor reputation for the college. We are all aware of the tremendous growth manifested by Wilkes since its comparatively recent beginning. We should also be aware that if this growth is to continue, we must maintain the high standard of conduct set by our predecessors. Another phase of our responsibility to the college may be titled our responsibility toward maintaining school spirit. Parallel to the academic growth of the college has been a growth in the area of student activities. If our activity program is to grow and to prosper, we must also realize our responsibility to our fellow students and to campus organizations. We should all be possessed with a sense of loyalty and obligation to the school which will encourage us to join in its activities. We should at least own a sense of loyalty which will not permit us to in any way oppose or threaten to defeat anything which is affiliated with our college. Remember, we are all recognized as Wilkes College students. The college is what we make it. Let's do our part to maintain the good reputation gained by it in the past. Dear Editor: The following is the text of a letter which I.D.C. received from St. Stanislaus Institute upon their receipt of 150 toys, donated by the Class of '65 during the orientation program. We as members of the I.D.C. would like to thank again the freshman class for donating these toys for such a worthwhile cause. Nancy Palazzolo J erry Berk "Your recent visit to Saint Stanislaus was indeed gratifying. Due to unavoidable circumstances, I failed to meet you; but, whenever you are in our area please stop in and I shall be happy to reciprocate. "The youngsters' joy far surpassed mine when they were presented with your varied selection of lovely toys, and you can't imagine how elated they were. "You can never fully realize, my dear friends, how much your thoughtfulness means to us here. Our burden is heavy - but it is consoling to know that we are not alone. Through the generosity of kind friends like you, the burden is surely minimized. "Only the Good Lord can reward this noble gesture on your part. Please be assured of a remembrance in our prayers. "In behalf of all the youngters our sincerest gratitude, and may God bless you - one and all! Sincerely yours in Christ, Rt. Rev. Msgr. Roman L. Gizara President and Director * * * Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who gave of their time and effort to make this year's Homecoming and Bonfire a success. There were many students, too numerous to mention, who worked untiringly on decorations, the torchlight parade, the car caravan, and the bonfire arrangements. A special word of appreciation goes to a number of local citizens who generously donated their services to the college. In particular, I would like to thank the WilkesBarre Transit Company for providing their convertible bus for the car caravan; the 109th Field Artillery for the lights and power unit used at the bonfire; Nardy's Sound Service for the public address system; and the Wilkes-Barre Police, Fire, and Park Departments for their assistance and cooperation. Sincerely yours, Jerry Shilanski School Spirit Committee United Fund Help Needed At the conclusion of two weeks, · the student phase of the campus United Fund drive has still not reached its goal of $1200. The drive has been extended one more week to enable those who have been unable to give during the past two weeks to do so in the coming week. The individual class chairmen began making personal contacts several days ago and will continue this program through next week. All students are urged to respond to this effort and to aid those less fortunate. Student Government Lauded The quick thinking and fast action carried out by the Student Government members last Saturday evening at the Homecoming dinner-dance which that group sponsored was certainly a credit to that organization. Hampered by a series of setbacks in the program which had been established for the evening, the Student Government was still able to make that affair a success. The crowd which attended was exceptionally large and approximately one hundred persons were in attendance who had not purchased tickets in advance. This meant that the sponsoring group had to make last minute provision for these people. Dean George Ralston, Mr. Robert Morris, and the members of Student Government are to be commended for a job well done, despite the unforeseen obstacles in the path of success.

Repose is one of a woman's most attractive qualities. Not by any means to be confused with lack of animation. Some of the world's busiest women have repose. You can, if you eliminate erratic, nervous motion; a pounding or jerky walk; chairedge perching; rushing at projects, people, street crossings; a shrill, high voice; jewelry that jangles forcibly; h eels that clatter; clothes that need constant adjusting. Repose possessed is very fine for the possessor. She is not likely to have taut nerves or an uneasy digestion or searing headaches. She is not likely to be told by her doctor that she must relax. year. The exub erance and attendance at the bonfire on Friday night can be attributed to the efforts of Jerry Shilanski and the preparation of all campus organizations. The spirit at the game on Saturday showed that School Spirit, the cheerleaders, the band, the kickline, and the twirling squad had effectively represented Wilkes. The Undergraduate DinnerDance under the direction of Ed Rogalski was a huge success as was the Alumni Dance in the Dorian Room at the Host Motel. I would like to ext end a special thanks to Fred Smithson, Homecoming chairman, for the superb job in organizing the activities, and to Wayne Thomas and the Beacon staff for their warm s u p p o rt throughout the weekend. I was proud to play a part in Homecoming Weekend this year, and I will cherish the memory of it for many years to come. Sincerely, Leona A.

The new date will be announced in the Beacon. "Freud, Football And Marching Virgins" Subject of Article How would football have looked to the late Dr. Sigmund Freud? What the father of psychoanalysis might have said is presented in "Freud, Football and the Marching Virgins," a November Reader's Digest article by Thomas Hornsby Ferri!, Denver poet-editor-publicist. "Obviously," he writes, "football is a syndrome of religious rites symbolizing the struggle to preserve the egg of life through the rigors of impending winter. The rites begin at the autumnal equinox and culminate on the first day of the New Year with great festivals identified with bowls of plenty; the festivals are associated with fl owers such as roses, fruits such as oranges, farm crops such as cotton. and even sun worship and appease: ment of great reptiles such as alligators .. . "The egg of life is symbolizec by what is called 'the oval,' an inflated bladder. The convention i~ rep eated in the architectural ovalshaped design of the vast outdoor churches in which the services are held. . . . Literally millions attend .. .. in anticipation of violent masochism and sadism about to be enacted by a highly trained priesthood of young men .. . "The ceremony begins with colorful processions of musicians and semi-nude virgins who move in and out of ritualized patterns. This excites the worshippers to rise from their seats, shout frenzied poetry in unison and chant ecstatic anthems." Dr. Freud's only visit to the United States was to lecture at Clark University, Worcester, Mass., as part of the school's 20th anniversary celebration in September of 1909. He also visited New Haven, Boston, and Niagara Falls and saw New York's Chinatown, Central Park and Metropolitan Museum, but nobody took him to a football game. �Friday.

Mr. William Denion was speaking in his capacity as manager of the college cafeteria. Graduated from Penn State in 1951 with a B.S. in hotel and restaurant administration, Mr. Denion is beginning his fourth year here as cafeteria manager and head of a staff of seventeen full time and twenty student employees. It is interesting to note that he is not actually an employee of the college, but rather that he works for M. W. Wood, Inc., the catering service in Allentown which is hired by the college to manage its food service. Denion is responsible for the planning of both daily menus and special dinners. For last year's Christmas dinner, for example, he began one week in advance by purchasing the food and scheduling its preparation. H e plans on one and a half times normal consumption for such an affair, which means that at that Cornish game hen dinn er "everyone got a bird." Items that can be pre-prepared are started days in advance by the entire staff of cafeteria employees. One of the difficulties which food services for schools and industries face, as Denion said, is the fact that "we are always compared to mother." Obviously the food can never quite r each this ideal, yet if mother tried to do the job which he and his staff must do she would probably find it an impossible task. How, for instance, would she supervise the preparation of three hundred pounds of turkey for this year's Thanksgiving dinner? Prior to his coming to the college, Denion was manager of the Tavern Restaurant at State College for three years . He was assistant dir ector of restaurant operations for the Williamsburg Restoration of Williamsburg, Va. and food manager at Syracuse University. ............... , Let the studious ones take the grade, the rest of us will take the maids.

No. 7 by David Stout A display of over 130 woodcuts by Stefan Mrozewski, one of the world's leading wood block engravers, will last until next Friday in the Polish Room of Parrish Hall. These prints have been loaned for display by the artist himself. Mrozewski has exhibited throughout Europe and America for more than 30 years and has won innumerable prizes and awards in over 15 countries. His works on display here cover a wide range of Polish lore and classical subjects. The majority are black and white, but there are several tinted works. Of them all, the artist's favorite is "Apocalipse." The furniture in the Polish Room◊ ------------was designed by Mrozewski and made by Stefan Hellersperk of Dallas, Pennsylvania. The exhibit is free and open to the students and the public from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. Mrozewski was born in 1894 in Poland and was educated there.

What will the effects of the "population explosion" be? What images of America do t he people of Asia have? The above are some of the topics Dr. Stanko M. Vujica, chairman of the Philosophy and Religion Department, will discuss this Thursday at the student assembly. Dr. Vujica has spent the past school year in Asia as a Fulbright research scholar to Pakistan and will speak on some of his experiences there. Dr. Vujica feels that without much fanfare, without slogans, banners, or barricades, one of t he greatest revolutions in history is taking place in Asia right now because of the introduction of Western technology and science. Dr. Vujica will note in his speech some of the effects of that revolution on the physical and spiritual landscape of Asia. Novices See Debates At Lehigh Clinament by Julie Evans On October 28, Miss Lynne Dente and J erry Krasa, varsity members of the Debate Team, accompanied nine novice members to Lehigh University to participate in a program set up to acquaint novice debaters with the fundamentals of debating. In the morning, a panel of three debate coaches discussed debate strategy. Following the panel discussion, a debate t eam from Lehigh met a t eam from St. Joseph's College and gave a model debate on a national college debate topic. In the afternoon, a novice team from Wilkes, composed of Miss Pauline Bostjancic, Andy Majikas, John Campbell, and Miss Marguerite Gelli, participated in two rounds of debate. The observers were Norman Strojny, Miss Mary Ann Berger, Terry Lord, James Saunders, and William Holmes, who are novice debaters for Wilkes. Another order of business was the suggested changes of weekend hours for women dormitory students. The following suggestions will be presented to the Administrative Council: for all big weekends such as Homecoming, Spring, and those having formal and semiformal dances, 1 a.m. on Friday, and 2 a.m. on Saturday; on r egular weekends, a 12 :30 a.m. curfew in place of midnight and a 1 :30 curfew in place of a 1 a.m. Student Government has listed several weekends in the college year which have no regular dances scheduled. These weekends are open to any dormitory or dormitories that would like to sponsor dormitory parties for all students. Tonight the I.D.C. is sponsoring a dance for the purpose of dancing. They have obtained the services of Jack Melton for dancing music, and plan to sell pizza plus the usual beverages. Prizes will be awarded to persons who best represent the theme of "Mad Hatter Hop". All who attend the dance are encouraged to wear their craziest chapeaux. Joseph Lipinski is general chairman of the dance and is assisted by Vicki Bershad, Merle Benish, Philip Seigel, Steve Pankan, and Linda Paonessa. Pete Greenberg will give a demonstration of picking up coke bottles at midnight.

Officers of SAM are: Barry Shevchuk, vicepresident and program chairman; J erome Kulesa, treasurer; and Tom Cowell, secretary. TOMORROW ATHLETIC FIELD, 2 P.M. STUDENT WEEKLY WILKES COIJ.EGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Internationally Noted Arlisl Presents Wood Cul Exhibition COLONELS AT HOME Coward's "Blithe Spirit" Rescheduled by Campus Theater Group by Mary DiGiuseppe Cue 'n' Curtain will produce "Blithe Spirit" by Noel Coward, in Chase Theater on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Novem ber 15, 16, 17, and 18. Alfred S. Groh is the director. Andrew Palencar and Jerry Herman will handle stage arrangements. Although Noel Coward is one of the most prolific writers in the history of th e English-speaking stage, and has to his credit a long line of stage successes, none has won a more enduring place for itself in the present-day theater as "Blithe Spirit". The play was revealed to New Yorkers in November, 1941, following a successful London run, at a time when Londoners were deep in the Second World War. Curiously, it was dashed off in a couple of weeks while Coward was resting from assignments entertaining British overseas troops. Impressed by the gallantry of the English people under the battering bombardment of the terrible air raids of that period, he decided to write a farce to help take their minds off their trouble. "Blithe Spirit" was the result. Since then, r evivals, summer stock productions, a very successful motion picture version, and innumerable amateur presentations have combined to make "Blithe Spirit" the greatest of many Noel Coward successes. The play, described by the New York Herald-Tribune on its first American showing as " ... a gay, bright and brilliant farce, filled with debonair laughter," recounts the riotous complications that ensue when the beautiful ghost of his departed wife arrives to share the home and affections of a sorelybeset writer who, until that time, had been living in bliss and harmony with his second wife. Playing the role made popular by Clifton Webb is Mark Hirschman as Charles Conrlomine. Opposite him is Ruth Friedlander as Ruth Condomine, in the role originated by Peggy Wood. Others in the cast include Siglinda Vallot as Elvira, Elaine Adams as Edith, Harvey Stambler as Dr. Bradman, Joan Pitney as Mrs. Brad man, and Dolores Amir as Madame Arcoti. Miss Vallot and Miss Adams are making their debut in "Blithe Spirit" as members of the Cue 'n' Curtain theater group. Art Club Trip Tomorrow Visits to the Cloisters, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum will highlight the New York trip tomorrow sponsored by the Art Club. The committee handling the trip, Bill Pucilowsky, Michael Stretanski, and Diane Schonfeld, has announced that the bus will leave at 5:30 tomorrow morning from Gies Hall. After spending the day both in central city and in outlying areas the group will depart at 11 p.m. for home. Although much of the available time will be consumed by visiting pre-scheduled locations, there will be some free time for those who want to explore on their own.

Chemistry Club Takes Solons' Dance Decision To Court of Appeals �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- Friday, November 3, 1961 LOCAL POLITICAL SCENE Freedom - and Responsibility One of the rules of journalistic procedure which must be adhered to by all publications is that of printing the truth. American newspapers in the past have found that the only true path to success is by way of presenting to the reader direct, honest, and objective truths and allowing him to form his own decisions. This is the democratic way and as Americans we have come to accept it as a part of our heritage. Accuracy is but one facet of honest reporting. Slanting the news to encourage the acceptance of a particular viewpoint, except in editorials, though not readily apparent to the average reader is opposed to the Amerian principle of freedom of the press. Along with the freedom to express one's opinion goes a responsibility to present the unbiased, objective facts to the reader. Until such time as newspaper publishers recognize this responsibility, they are not completely fulfilling their duty which is to present straight-forward news. Editorial comment has its place, but it must not supplant the presentation of the facts. Bridging the Gap Both dormitory and day students of this college are aware of constant attempt to "bridge the gap" between their groups. Individuals, campus organization and administration have tried to bring the halves of the college closer in interest and spirit! The fact remains - there are two halves. The dormitory and day students have separate problems, separate after-class environments, and different types of interest in the college. A satisfactory college life for both halves depends upon recognizing the separateness and dealing with it on that basis. No artificial bridges will do. Are we willing to work with this separateness? Can we accept the fact that there is a difference? The Inter-Dormitory Council is an example of an organization set up to deal with one half's management. It has worked effectively in this role for many years. There is a place on campus for a day student council. This organization is needed to release the Student Government from the burden of day student problems. An outright acceptance of our differences will clear the air, and reveal what we have in common. We study together, work together in extra-curricular activities, and support the college in every way we can. These feelings are not " bridging" any gap, but uniting us solidly as the student body of Wilkes College.

Able Candidates Seek Election As County Judgeship Race Ends The whole question of judicial competency is involved in the phrase in our state constitution that requires that judges be 'learned in the law', Embodied in this phrase, and generally in the overall concept, is the total evaluation of a man's background: social. legal and civic. For a judge to be "just", he must have more than a legal understanding of the laws he is constituted to interpret. He must be able to interpret these laws by combining in his determinations a realization of present-day human factors. Incumbent on the electorate is the duty to decide which judicial candidate is most representative of these qualifications. This year, the voters of Luzerne County must fill three vacancies on the county bench. In electing men to fill these posts, they must weigh the qualifications of the candidates before their consideration. DEMOCRAT Basically, the question foremost in the voter's mind should be which candidate is most deserving of his vote. The Democratic candidates for judgeships this year possess a good legal background to go with wide experience in their fields. The work of the Ornhans' Court is highly specialized, with it s jurisdi cti on having greatly expanded since its inception. Ther efore, the man who sits as Judge of the Orphans' Court must have a gr eat deal of experience in this type of work. Edward S. Lopatto Judge Edward S. Lopatto, the incumbent, possesses experience in the work of the Orphans' Court t hat dates back long before h e was appointed to the bench. In 1950, Lopatto was appointed first assistant clerk of the Orphans' Court and served in this capacity under his three predecessors. In 1959, he was elected Regist er of Wills, in which h e was actually the Clerk of the Orphans' Court. In 1956, he received the recommendation of the Luzerne County Law and Library Association to fill a va cancy on the Orphans' Court. This recommendation, the only one of its kind ever given by the county Bar Association, bore fruit this year. His higher education was received at the University of Pennsylvania ; he is the father of nine children; and he is very a ctive in community affairs. In addition to his duties on the Orphans' Court, he also serves as presiding judge of the co unty Juvenile Court. No less important than the election of an Orphan's Court judge is the election this fall of two judges to fill seat s on the Court of Common Pleas. Jacob Schiffman Judge Jacob Schiffman, also an incumbent, likewise has a broad edu cational background, as well as much experience in state and local affairs. He, too, went to the University of Pennsylvania, graduating from the Wharton School of Comm erce and Finance. H e later went on to law school at New York University. Schiffman has been active in private law pract ice sin ce his discharge from the Army in 1945. He has served as counsel to m any state bureaus and is active in the religious, social, and civic life of the community. Joseph G. Tomascik Although Attorney Joseph G. Tomascik is the only Democratic cand idate for judge this year who is not an incumbent, his background more than prepares him for the type of work he will do on the Court of Common P leas . His educational experience is varied; he is a member of t h e bar in P ennsylvania, the District of Columbia, and the United States Supreme Court, as well as in Luzerne Count y. Presently a state representative, Tomascik helped write some of the laws h e will be called upon to interpret on the bench. A former assistant professor of Government at a local college, a lecturer, and an instruct or in commercial law, he did work of a judicial nature when he served as a Workmen's Compensation Referee. In sum mary, the way a man t empers his knowledge with an under- REPUBLICAN The Rep ublican candidates for the Luzerne County bench possess a background in legal, social, and civic affairs to make a truly representative slate in the coming elect ion. Peter Paul Olszewski As a candidate for Judge of the Orphans' Court, Peter Paul Olszewski has a background that would fit well with the work h e will be doing on the bench. H e received his higher education at Lafayette College and St. John's University School of Law. A veteran of World War II, h e is entitled to practice law before the Luzern e County Courts, the Superior and Supreme Courts of Pennsylvania, and the Federal Court for the Middle District of P ennsylvania. He is also a practicing attorney before the Interstate Commerce Commission , the Internal Revenue Commission, and the Treasury Department. At the present time, he is Sol' citor for the city of Wilkes-Bar and maintains a private law prat tice in the city. He is a m emb,.,of many civic committees and is m ember of the Nationalities A visory Committee of the Republ · ca n National Committ ee. The Republican candidates fc, t he two vacancies on the Court c Common Pleas are equally qualific to sit as judges. Their backgrour is also varied in the social and civ life of t he community. Richard L. Bigelow Richard L. Bigelow possesses d g rees of AB, MA, and LLB fro Swarthmore, Pennsylvania Stat University, and Dickinson Scho. of Law. He is an able educator r well as a qualified lawyer. An instructor of political sciern and labor law at P ennsylvani State University's Hazleton can·. pus, he has also been an assistan, professor of political science ar. constitutional law at Dick in son co· lege. Active in civic and religious at. tivities, he has been a solicitor f< several school districts in the Hazlr ton area. Vincent M. Quinn Vincent M.

In additio: he practices in both federal an state courts. He ser ved a term as first assi tant District Attorney of Luzer1 County and also as solicitor f, several school boards in the Pitt. ton area, and has worked as a sp cial agent for the F ederal Bure· of Investigation. Therefore, not only the way man is educated but the use '. which he puts that education · important in deciding a vacancy c. the bench. The voter should l sure that he selects men who w 'be truly representative. The R epublican candidates for judge in Luzerne County this year fill the criterion. standing of human problems is all important in the determination of who should sit on the bench. The Democratic candidates possess all three prerequisites n ecessary to act as eff ective members of the court. �Friday, November 3, 1961 WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON Colonel Gridders Meet Dickinson In Season Home Finale Tomorrow After the first four games of the 1961 football campaign the charges of Coach Francis Pinkowski have yet to taste victory. Morale on the squad hit a new low. With a two week break between the Lycoming defeat and the Dickinson encounter Coach Pinkowski had the major task of rebuilding his squad both physically and mentally. The process seemed impossible but Coach Pinkowski kept at his job of rebuilding the confidence that had disappeared after the Lycoming rout and soon the fruits of his labor seemed to bud. The twenty-odd men who make up the Wilkes squad began to remold into a team. With the Red Devils of Dickinson College invading Colonelland for the last home game of the season, Coach Pinkowski reports, "We're r eady." With Dickinson comes the beginning of a new season for the Colonels. Tomorrow when the Colonels take to the field a n ew team will appear. Not a new team in personnel or attire but a new team in spirit. The Wilkesmen will be a solid unit of players fighting together for a victory.

VEDDY BRITISH Hockey Season Closes Today with Misericordia The Colonelettes will close out a brief schedule this afternoon at four when they host the College Misericordia girls in a return fi eld hockey story. The two t eams battled to a 1-1 draw in their initial m eeting two weeks ago and both squads will be out to prove their superiority in this match. The action will take place at the new hockey field which is situated across the Kirby Park road from the Athletic Field. The girls have made a fin e showing thus far in their initial dive into the field hockey wars of college coeds and should have a big crowd on hand to see them attempt to down the girls from Misericordia. Tie Hilltoppers The Colonelettes got their second taste of battle on W edn esday when they traveled to the H eights to meet the G.A.R. girls. When the dust had settled on the grassless field the Colonelettes had scored a goal to tie the Hilltoppers, 1-1. This was the second tie of the season for the coeds and marked the strong .500 season thus far. The Hilltoppers scored firs~ with a _goal b?

Tomorrow, when the soccermen of Coach Jim Ferris close out the season in a match with Stevens Institute of Technology, four seniors will wear the blue and gold of Wilkes for the final time. The contest, which will be held at Hoboken, New Jersey, will be the final outing for Frank Lepore, Clyde Roberts, George Tensa, and Ted Toluba. FRANK LEPORE Frank has been an outstanding lineman and t eam spirit leader for the past two seasons. From his wing position, the 5'8", 142-poud Commerce and Finance major, has sparked the team with his clever ball-handling and all-around offensive and defensive play. The twenty-five year old graduate of Wyoming High School has also been a member of the Colonel golf team. Lepore CLYDE ROBERTS For the past three campaigns, Clyde has been a standout performer for Coach Ferris' soccer team. H e has played with equal proficiency in ea ch of a number of positions. The 5'11", 165-pound Accounting major is currently the team's leading scorer and co-captain. Clyde is also the president of the Wilkes Chapter of the Jaycees and treasurer of the Accounting Club.

Although they played when Wilkes soccer began its decline, the presence of any one of them in a contest made a notable difference in the team's play. The soccer team was presented with its fifth defeat of the year at Williamsport last Saturday as the Warriors of Lycoming College defeated the Colonels, 4-0, in a fast and som etimes raggedly-played contest. Lineman Joe Nucci starred for the Lycoming squad as he slammed home three tallies, one of them on a penalty kick. Ed Reyer scored the final Warrior goal. Fullback Chuck Weiss turned in an inspired performance for the Colonel eleven, making several outstanding defensive plays near the Wilkes goal. In general the team appeared to lack some of the hustle and spirit that it possessed earlier in the season. The fine Wilkes defense which performed so well previously, was found to have been weakened by the Lycoming team whose linemen moved the ball well throughout the match. Lose to East Stroudsburg This past Wednesday the team was defe ated for the sixth time in a match with East Stroudsburg State College, at the new athletic field. The Teachers fielded two fast, strong squads in a two-platoon system as they overpowered the Ferrismen, 4-0. East Stroudsburg rammed three quick goals into the net in the first quarter, striking before the Colnels' defense was set. This team has Jost but one match this season. That was a 2-1 loss to West Chester State College. Their opponents have scored only four goals against them this year. Early in the contest Wilkes lost the services of Clyde Roberts who sustained a deep gash over his right eye. Pete Eckert and Frank Lepore also were hobbled by knee injuries, and as a result the Colonels failed to mount a sustained offensive threat. In general, the Wilkesmen were outclassed by the smooth-running Stroudsburg machine, who took advantage of its depth in the bench. Constant substitution served to wear down the already tired Wilkesmen.

"Butterflies", as this phenomenon is commonly known, occurs quite prevalently among the education majors just before their big safari into the "Blackboard Jungles". Judith Ann Butchko was no exception to the rule this fall when she began her eight weeks of practice teaching at G.A.R. However, in Judy's case, it could have been "Fruit Flies" in the stomach rather than "Butterflies". What's the r eason for this unprecedented change ? Well, according to informed sources in Stark Hall, Judy, who is a senior biology major, has done a 'multiplying job' of breeding fruit flies for Dr. Reif 's genetics course. Af t er a complet ely unexpected experience, the first day of teaching Judy admitted that she was ·ready to quit. She explained that her cooperating t ea cher was absent and she was scheduled to take aver the class. "Things have changed since that first day," she emphasized. "Now I love being before a class - even the disection classes." Tea ching is the pr edominant fa ct or in Judy's fu t ure. She hopes to teach in New J er sey, near Philadelphia, next year, and som eday she would like to t each overseas, particularly in Hong Kong.

It r eveals what experts have learned about such problems as the a ctual effects of crime and violence in the media; how children are affect ed by adult programming; and the extent to which the media shape attitudes and opinions, create apathy, and " passivity". Last Man In by Scott Greer is a study of the power structure of unions. It seeks to explain race relations within labor unions not in t erms of the social or psychological aspects of "race", but through an analysis of the functional necessities of the union as an organization and the derived demands made upon the union leader. For tales of adventure and exploration one might try Man Against Nature by Charles Neider. A collection of true, eye-witness stories by the world's greatest explorers, pioneers, and adventurers, this book contains the classic and gripping accounts of men like Lindbergh, Wright, and Schweitzer forty-seven selections of danger and excitement. C. Sharp Cook's Modern Atomic and Nuclear Physics deals with atomic and nuclear structure and associated radiations, including discussions of r elativistic mechanics, quantum mechanics, solid state physics, and elementary particles. Over 200 problems, 149 illustrations, and numerous references complement the text material. An introductory critical r eport on Wordsworth as a poet and as a man may be found in F. W. Bateson's Wordsworth, a re-interpretation. Readers of this book will find here the great poet, at once more real and sympathetic - a man speaking to men - instead of the egocentric rhapsodist of the textbooks. Finally, those who are not quite sure of the modern meaning of education might try John Dewey : Dictionary of Education, edited by Ralph Winn. Dewey was constantly seeing many things in new relat ions and attempting to express original insights. Dr. Winn has att empted to give a compilation of the theories and statements of the late philosopher on the subject of educa tion and pedagogy. • PENN BARBER SHOP Next Door to Y.M.C.A. • 3 Barbers at Your Service James J.

Are you holding up the bottom on that bio curve? Or are those pink slips making your home a battle scene from War and Peace? If so, then break out of that rut, son! Be the first on your block to commit hara-kiri. Then you can do what all the coolest ghosts in town are doing, and float over to Cue and Curtain's newest and zaniest production, "Blithe Spirit", playing at Chase 'T heater from November 15 t hrough 18. Written by Noel Coward, that smooth man with a style, this play is guaranteed to keep you ghastly souls grinning. Described by the N ew York Journal-American as "-brilliantly clever and about as cockeyed as a play can be and still stay on the stage", it presents the notion of a man happily married to his second wife who is suddenly confronted by the ghost of his first wife. The ghost calmly announces that she intends to live with the couple indefinitely and proceeds to do so. This is the starting point for a series of some of the funniest episodes ever written into a play. Mark Hirschman, Ruth Friedla:nder and Sieglinde Vallot head the cast of Cue and Curtain players who are now in their final stage of rehearsals under the direction of Al Groh. Some fanciful phantoms are passing the word that this is going to be better than the averagetype play, so if you're an astute apparition you'll make the scene, dad. You'll have the time of your death if you do. Cast in supporting roles are Dolores Amir, Elaine Adams, Joan Pitney, and Harvey Stambler. Assisting in the production will be Jerry Herman, stage manager; Romelle Gomba, costumes; Warren Harmen, sound and lighting; Robert Schecter, publicity; Barbara Gallagher, make-up; Ellen Sunde!, properties and furniture . Assisting Mr. Groh is Barry Gintel and David Fendrick is Assistant Di;ector. Andrew Palen car is Art Director with Jerry Herman and Emily Weinberg handling special effects. The cast and production crew would like to express their appreciation to William J ervi~ and the maintenance crew for their cooperation. Admission is free and the play will open next Wednesday at 8 :30 p .m. in Chase Theater. Other performances will be held on Thursday and Saturday of next week.

Stark A broad variety of interests and backgrounds is the chief characteristic of the principcd speakers for the testimonial dinner honoring Dr. Farley, Wilkes College President, tomorrow evening. These men represent careers ranging from financial counselor of a philanthropic institution to Norwegian educator and author of a German grammar textbook. Jesse Ghoper, an alumnus of Wilkes College and present assistant professor of law at the University of Minnesota, will act as toastmaster· for the affair. Choper, who garnered many honors while at Wilkes, was a member of the Wilkes debating team that won the Harvard Tournament and the Pennsylvania State Tournament in- 1957. At this time he ranked third in the counry. Since he left Wilkes in 1957, Choper has led an active and varied life culminating last year in his appointment as law clerk to Chief Justice Earl Waqen. Besides membership in the Order of Coif - a legal honor society whose members are the top 10 % of the law graduates of certain schools, he holds membership in the bars of the U.S. District Court for District of Columbia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for District of Columbia Circuit Court. United Fund Campaign Falls Short of Goal; Trophy Winners Named The United Fund campaign on campus fell short of its goal for 1961. Lou Coopey, chairman of the drive, announced that the students missed the goal by $83.58. Two-thirds of the money was donated during the last week of the campaign. Trophies have been awarded to the winner in each of the three divisions of the campaign. The freshman class captured the trophy for Division A by contributing the most money per member. The freshman class also contributed the proceeds of the United Fund Dance. Louis Matioli, chairman of the dance, said that the dance raised a total of $150.40 for the campus campaign. Dr. K. Roald Bergethon Jesse Choper Krasa Named Chairman at First Court of Appeals Meeting Division B trophies were granted to men and women's dormitories which contributed the most money to the campaign.

Dr. Bergethon attended grammanichools and high scho'ol in Brooklyn but · returned to Tromso to complete his secondary €ducation . at the "Hoiere Almenskole". Puring World War II while working on .the constructio~ of military installations and manufa cturing plants required for war efforts, -he received a citation for meritoriou's civilian service from the U.S. Navy. In 1953, while ass socfate dean at Brown University, he. was awarded a Carnegie Corpor·a tion travel grant which enabled him fo observe undergraduate educational programs at more than twenty colleges and universities throug hout the nation. Author of Grammar for Reading German and a bibliography of Norwegian literature, Bergethon also contributes book reviews and articles concerning the teaching of German and education administration to professional journals. Arnaud C. Marts has a special interest in Wilkes College. Buck_nell University had fostered a junior college in Wilkes-Barre and Marts who served as president of Bucknell University from 1935 to 1945 inherited the problem of fo rmulating permanent plans for t his center of learning. Since he devot ed so much time and energy to this problem, he naturally is interested in progress and development of Wilkes. Marts, financial counselor for Marts and Lundy, Inc., philanthropic institution in New York, has had experience in the fields of education, business, _politics, civic service, and writing. In his capacity as an author, he has written two books, Philanthropy's Role in Civilization and Man's Concern for His Fellow Man: Chairman of the Boar d of Trustees of Wilkes College, Admiral Harold R. Stark, USN retired, will represent that body on Saturday even ing. Admiral Stark, now residing in Washington, D.C., is a former commander of the European fleet during World War II and a fo rmer chief of naval operations in the U.S. Navy. That his services were valuable is evidenced by the fact that he was kept on duty beyond retirement age at the re quest (continued on page 6) �wn.n:s 2 Friday, November 10, 1961 COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- STUDENT SKETCH United Fund Drive Successful The campus United Fund campaign which concluded last Friday realized a total contribution of $1,116.25. Although the goal of $1,200 was not reached, the drive was successful. The various members of the administration, faculty, and student body who exerted a great deal of time and effort in making solicitations are to be congratulated. The showing made by Wilkes is a credit to all connected with the college. As a community college, the impression created by Wilkes is important and each student should take a deep sense of pride in this impression. The spirit of Wilkes students was manifested in the fact that approximately two-thirds of the goal was reached during the last week of the drive. This last-minute turnout proves the ability of Wilkes students to accomplish tasks placed before them. Once again, thanks and congratulations to those who conducted the drive and to all who participated. Suggestions Needed The deadline for suggestions for a Senior Class gift to the college is drawing near and as of this issue only a few suggestions have been received. The class has approximately $1400 in its memorial fund to be used in the purchase of a gift and all students are urged to submit any useful ideas to one of the members of the gift committee or in one of the suggestion boxes. Gifts made by classes in recent years have enhanced the beauty of the college as well as provided useful items which the college would not ordinarily purchase. Each year, the Item selected for purchase has been the result of a great deal of thought and this year should be no exception. The expanding nature of the college provides a wealth of ideas in itself. As we look forward to greater things, the contribution which any one. particular group can give to the college must not be overlooked. Your cooperation is needed. Any suggestion which you may have will be carefully considered by the class gift committee. Help them in this endeavor and by so doing, have a part in the growth of the college.

Since the yearbook is free, the $1.00 fee necessary for the picture is a worthwhile investment. Thus far only the sophomores have the required amount of people signed for the pictures. Editor Harry Collier has announced that progress on the Amnicola has been slow because of the delay concerning the insufficient number of students signing to have their pictures taken. Thanksgiving is the deadline for senior pictures, and the following week is the deadline for senior pictures, and the following week is the deadline for dormitory pictures. Do Your Holiday Shop-lifting Early! by Roz Deretchin At the last meeting of the Jaycees Paul Heagy was voted in as a new member under a new admission policy. Usually one has to be a Junior or a Senior, but Heagy, who is 25 and a former member of the York Jaycees, was admitted by the group. As part of their program of informing the public of important events taking place, the Jaycees, acting under chairman Don Mattey, last week sent letters to all seniors over 21 and to all veterans urging them to vote. They also placed posters around th~ campus reminding the people of Election Day. During the weekend of October 21-22, Russ Singer attended the Jaycees State Board meeting. Singer urged the State Convention representatives to consider WilkesBarre as the sight of the 1963 convention.

Every girl is at heart a show stopper - at least to an audience of one, so if you're a girl with L.P. (Losts of Parties) on her calendar you'll be wild about those newest neons for night, Limelight and Whitelight, the showstopping colors of the season. Limelight, a yellow-lit green, is aglow in mohair, chiffon and satin. Whitelight is lit with glitter in beaded overblouse dresses and in the Great White Coat, Mademoiselle's choice for wrapping up Limelight dresses. Part-time silhouettes come in several profiles. Some shapes fall straight, others have skirts that move out. Some waistlines skip a beat, others take their natural line. Don't be surprised to find new combinations in texture, such as a chiffon skirt fluttering out from a mohair over-blouse. You can see all these great high voltage fashions in the November issue of Mademoiselle, and at our holiday party fashion show coming soon. Contest If you have considered entering the Mademoiselle College Board Contest, here are a few suggestions. Report on some trend that you see coming in at Wilkes - in the arts, humor, clothes, attitudes, social customs, anything else (but politics - which was reported on in the August issue). Tell how you would change Wilkes if you could (2,000 words or more). Choose the five most interesting fabrics you can find, and design clothes to show three different ways each fabric can be used. For example : a sportswear set, cocktail dress, afternoon dress, et cetera. Design and write an informative booklet that a national advertiser might distribute to college students. Choose any subject matter for the booklet, but relate it to the advertiser's product. For additional suggestions, see the bulletin board by the Commons or the Mademoiselle Campus Representatives Nancy Tinklepaugh and Maryann Wilson.

The men from Butler Hall, Pete's home away from home, suggested that Pete's ability to build platforms stems from a •job he had a few summers ago when he was a carpenter's apprentice . However, it is certain that many m embers of the Inter-Dormitory Council, which Pete has headed for the past two years, could find much better reasons for his capabilities in leadership a nd organization. In answer t o what he would like to see done here on campus, Pete hop efully replied, "There needs to be more action taken by the entire student body. Too many people can criticize and talk a lot, but too few do anything productive." He suggested that t here be more communication between the student leaders and the student body.

Mud and Guts In last Saturday's game at the Athletic Field, the Blue and Gold was submerged in a sea of mud as the Red Devils of Dickin son turned in a 7-6 win .in the midst of a torrential, day-long deluge. There was plenty of courage shown on and off the field as the Colonels fa ced rugged playing con1:iitions, while 500 loyal fans stood · behind them and cheered · them on. The differ ence in the ball game came in the· second period when John Harper -split the uprights with a p lacement after the Dickinson touchdown. The TD followed the only sustain ed drive · of the game by eith er team. The rally was set up when back Jack Thomas intercepted a TravisBey pass on the Dickinson 48 and carried it an the way to the ·W ilkes 34. From here Dickinson quarterback DiOrio lugged the ball for five yards, Dick Warden got four, and Di Orio .three more for a first down on the Wilkes 22. After an in complete pass, Bob Harlowe carried to the 15 and then Reno DiOrio pulled off the n eatest play of the game. After faking a hand-off, the quarterback threw a bullet pass up the middle to end Joe Lipinski who grabbed it in the middle of the Wilkes defensive array and went straight to touchdown land untouched.

Address Zone City OUR ADVERTISERS State DATA PROCESSING PATRONIZE PB-16 �Colonelelles Down Misericordia; Judy Barger Scores Lone Goal Womanhood took a large stride ahead in its attempt to destroy the "legend of male superiority" last Friday as the Colonelette field hockey squad completed an undefeated season with an impressive 1-0 victory over the College Misericordia girls. This brought the season's record of the Wilkes coeds to a one win, two tie ending. The opening half action was rough-and-tumble with the defensive halfbacks of both teams playing great ball with effective ball hawking and blocking. Neither team could muster an effective offense until the closing minutes when the Colonelette passing brought the ball into scoring range. A pass from Janet Ainsworth to Judy Barger put the ball in front of the goal and Judy responded with a "bullet-like" shot at the goal. A Misericordia defender lunged at the ball with a desperation swing and got her stick in front of the ball. Instead of stopping, the ball ricocheted off the stick and into the net for the lone score of the afternoon. Both t eams threatened in the second half but the defensive secondaries were not to be crossed as the fullbacks of both squads thwarted any scoring attempts. Carol Rhin es registered her first shutout game of the season for the Colonelettes. The fullbacks, Carol Plonner and Regina Ritzie, shone with their aggressive play. The most outstanding performance of the afternoon was center-halfback Marilyn Davis. The freshman philosophy major played her usual effective game by continually stealing the ball from the Misericordia linemen as they attempted to cross into Wilkes territory. Wing halfbacks Heather Danuiel and Fran Gallagher aided the defensive play with their timely steal s and blocks. The line of Janet Ainsworth, Judy Barger, Jo Sigiorelli, Rose Hallet, and Mary Ann Vannoy looked very good with their pass patterns. The future looks bright for the Colonelettes as all of the girls are underclassmen, and gained the experience of learning to play togeth er as a team. Mrs. Saracino is looking forward to next year wh en the Colonelettes advance deeper into intercollegiate competition. ATTENTION FOOTBALL FANS!

The Engineers scored their intial goal in the second period as Lew Spiridellis headed t he ball into the net after a shot glanced off the goal post. Their second goal came early in the third quarter on an 18-yard shot by Ed Nidaasby. A pass by Frank Lepore and a left-footed boot by Clyde Rob erts accounted for the only Colonel tally in the fourth period. Wilkes threatened again late in the final period on shots by Walt Prusakowski and Rob erts. At the end of the game, Wilkes was hammering at the Stevens goal. A generally well-played match ' was marred only by the fact that both of the Stevens goals resulted from mixups in the injury-ridden Wilkes backfield. Dick Morgan and Bill Flynn, and the team as a unit, performed quite well against an experienced team which was comprised entirely of Europeans. Coach Ferris' soccer squad finished the season with a 3-7 log and were 3-5 in MAC competition. Colonel Bowlers Open Season with Victory Over Scranton Classics The Wilkes bowling team opened its season on a successful note last Sunday afternoon at Lispi Lanes. In a thrilling match the Colonel keglers defeated the bowlers of Scranton's Junior Classic League. Wilkes took a 43-pin lead after the first game on the strength of Jerry Zeller's 213, as the team hit 871 to Scranton's 828. Butch Garber led Scranton with a 220 in the first game. After the second game, which was a reversal of the first, the Wilkesmen found themselves 28 pins behind. Scranton hit for 994 in the second game as compared to a respectable 923 for Wilkes. Three of the Scranton bowlers dropped more than 200 pins in this game, while Dave Sokira with 203 topped that mark for Wilkes. Wilkes continued the torrid pace in the third game to overcome the defict and emerged a 145-pin victor. Scranton was bested 905-732 in the final game. A rematch will be scheduled for the near future.

Baiera . At the Student Government meeting Monday night vital issues were debated. Activity forms that were submitted to the Student Government by the Biology Club for a closed affair and the Economics Club for a field trip were not accepted. The Student Government felt that they had no jurisdiction over these affairs because of existing policies from last year. Under reports of the standing committees, the Budget committee r~port was giv:en _on the_ "Near Bier Brawl." sponsored by the Catlin-Gore dorm1tones towght. A moion was passed to give .these dormitories $20 each from the Dormitory Activity Fund so :that this affair would be free to all attending. In the future policies of this nature will be considered by the Policy committee. .· A motion proposed by Buddy Menaker and passed by the Student Government stated that the number ·o f v:otes received by each candidate in each election will be posted on the bulletin board as soon as they ·are known. This is a new policy instituted by the Student Government since past policies determined that only winners should be listed with no numerical results being shown. Under a special committee report on parking lots by Jeff Gallet, problems concerning Gies Hall parking lot were discussed. The Student Government resolved that the following be enacted: (1) that a system be set up in Gies Hall parking lot to park cars in set spaces; (2) that curbs will be lowered to eliminate the barriers; (3) that trees obstructing the movement of cars be removed; (4) that new parking lot stickers be issued on a rotating basis for car pools; and (5) that a new type of parking sticker that can be more easily removed be issued.

No. 9 Last April, in the First Presbyterian Church of Wilkes-Barre, a group of sixteen Madrigal Singers under the direction of Mr. Richard Chapline, music department instructor, recorded a Wilkes College Christmas Album. The Christmas carols included in the album were selected by Mr. Chapline and are favorites of the group. by Barbara A. Lore A young Cleveland pianist of international a cclaim, Joel Shapiro, will present several selections from his 1961-1962 repertoire for the entertainment of the Wilkes College ass em b I y on Thursday, November 30, at 11 a.m. Although a relatively young artist, Mr. Shapiro has been the recipient of numerous international honors. In 1959 he was awarded the coveted "Premier Prix avec Distinction, Laureat Premier Nomme" at the piano competition of the Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music. At this time, he was also selected to perform with orchestra in a gala concert and recital sponsored by the American ambassador in Brussels a fact which prompt ed Congresswoman Frances P. Bolton of Ohio to proclaim that he was doing an invaluable service in contributing to American cultural prestige. At the Darche Competition h eld in Brussels in December, 1960, befor e a distinguished international jury, Shapiro captured the first prize of 25,000 Belgian francs. His most recent triumph came with the presentation of the 1961 Harriet Cohen International Bach Prize, described b y the British Government Information Service as a "sort of musical Nobel Prize." The significan ce of this award is evidenced by the fact that it is patronized by Pablo Casals, worldfamou s cellist. His background, as w ell as his performances, has an international flavor for Mr. Shapiro has studied not only with American instructors Beryl Rub enstein and Frank Sheridan, but also with Nadia Boulanger, Artur Rub enstein , and Robert Casadesus of Frances, and famous Polish pianist Stephan Askenase. Mr. Shapiro, who has been enthusiastically received on his previous tours throughout Europe, will embark on another extensive European jaunt in 1962, which will include performances in Berlin, Paris, Copenhagen, and Vienna. The final performances of Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit" will be held tonight and Saturday night at the Chase Theater. Tonight's performance will begin at 7:40 p.m. On Saturday evening, the play will begin promptly at 8:30 p.m. Radio Club Broadcasts Announcements in 'Caf' by Mary Alice Isganitis The Wilkes College Amateur Radio Club, under the auspices of the Student Government, is now providing a new service to the students of Wilkes. Members of the club will announce important events on the public address system in the cafeteria. Any student who wishes somethi ng of importance announced is asked to place the information in the Radio Club's mailbox, located in the bookstore, twenty-four hours before announcement time. Announcements will be made on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the noon hour. Urgent announcements will be made on other days. On December 1, the Radio Club will hold open house in Pickering Hall from noon to 5 p.m. The purpose of this demonstration is to acclimate the students of the college to the activities of the club. One need not to be a Marconi to learn how to operate a ham radio, for no previous experience is required. The Radio Club has a wide rang e of contacts and is now planning to transmit messages for out-of-town stud ents. These messages will be beamed to the student's hometown at no cost to the sender. Also on December 1, the Radio Club will hold a dance in the gymnasium entitled "The Cathode Caper." The dance will be held after the School Spirit's Powder Bowl Game. Bobby Baird and his band will supply the music for the evening. John Biga is general chairman of the affair and will be assisted by Ken Krupinski, Michael Loncoski, Margaret Rutz, and Joan Sipko.

In keping with the holiday spirit, the decorations will have a holiday theme with a large backdrop duplicating a seasonal scene. The air will be filled with enchanting music supplied by Jack Melton and his orchestra. Dancing will be from 9 to midnight at the gym which will be transformed into a winter wonderland. Serving as general co-chairmen for the formal are Rick Rees and George Tensa. Roger Rolfe is in charge of decorations with Len Y oblonski and Bill Schwab handling the backdrop creation.

Jaycees Sponsor Drive To Aid State Hospital A book drive, sponsored by the Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, will be h eld from November 15 to December 5 for the benefit of the Retreat State Hospital. The Director of Nursing at the h ospital, Miss Florence Bujno, a Wilkes College alumna, made a plea for books in the following fields: anatomy, biology, zoology, histology, psychology, sociology, first aid, and all kinds of nursing books. Condition and age of the books does not matter. Students who wish to donate books are asked to place them in "book boxes" which will be located in the main buildings on campus. If it is not possible to bring them to school, contact Nick Adams or Clyde Roberts, and they will arrange to pick up the books. The Wilkes Jaycees, on behalf of the Retreat State Hospital, urge all students to contribute as many books as possible to this drive. Notre Dame Inaugurates Program to Prepare Freshmen for College A n ew program affecting the instruction of incoming freshmen at the University of Notre Dame beginning in September, 1962, was explained by the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburg, University president. The first-year student will not enter directly into any of Notre Dame's four undergr~duate colleges, but instead will commen ce a n ew "Freshman Year of Studies". Father Hesburg explained that while the fr eshman applicant will be r equired to make a "declaration of intent" indicating a preferen ce for liberal arts, science, engineering, or business administration, his decision will not be final until the spring of his freshman year. One of the chief values of the new "Freshman Year of Studies" is that the freshman will have the advantage of a year of actual experience at N otre Dame as well as Notre Dame co unseling before making final edu cational plans. He will no longer be r eq uired to make these important decisions while still in hig.h school. by Mary Frances Barone Dr. Charles B. Reif returns again to the Beatnik Bop, where he made his debut three years ago reading his first original beatnik poetry. Dr. Reif has been a guest performer for the dance since the Beatnik Bop was created by the Psychology-Sociology Club as an annual affair. Joining Dr. Reif this year will be Mr. Stanley Gutin, a member of the English department. Mr. Gut in has consented to display his poetical talents as a beatnik poet during the dance intermission. Following the poetical exploits, the n ext attraction will be contests for the best bearded beatnik male, the best "beat" male without a beard, and the best beatnik "chick". The best bearded beatnik male will be awarded a $5 gift certificate. There will be two consolation prizes for the runners-up. Prizes will also be given to the winn ers of the other contests. Dr. Robert Riley and Dr. Fred Bellas , chaperones of the affair, will act as judges for the contests. J immy Walters, master of ceremonies for the intermission, will aid the judges in their decisions. The finale of the entertainment will be the. appearance of the Warner Trio. The Trio, which includes Ronnie Borick, George Evancho, and Bob King, will chant a few folk songs for the guests at the "pad". Capturing the theme of the dance, Joe Gelli, decorations chairman, has announ ced that the gym will be transformed into a beatnik "pad", which means apartment in the Queen's English. Original modern art will help provide the unique beatnik atmosphere. To emphasize the beatnik theme, a flut e player has been added to the regular group of musicians, led by Bill J erome. Atmospheric background music will be supplied during intermission. Psy-Soc Club Goes to KC All-College Dance Set for Next Week On November 2 Cecile Gratkowski and Pat Fallon represented the Psychology-Sociology Club at a meeting held at King's College. Representatives from all the local Psychology-Sociology clubs of area colleges attended. At the meeting Monsignor Deuel explained a Papal Decree concerning the economic, social, and political conditions of America. Also included among the topics dis cussed were the psychological aspects of Communism and slum clearance. The girls received a sincere and warm welcome from the president of the college. He expressed the hope that the relationship between King's and Wilkes will improve in the future, and he extended an invitation to all Wilkes students to participate in any a ctivity conducted at King's. The thirteenth annual All-College Dance will be held one week from today starting at 9 p.m. and ending at midnight in the gymnasium. This affair, held during every Thanksgiving holiday, is open to all college students of the area who are home on vacation. Frankie Reynolds' Quintet will provide music for the evening. Lou Coopey, chairman, has announced that no admission will be charged. Student Government, sponsors of the dance, request that guests wear sport jackets. Marguerite Gelli is refreshment chairman, and Tom Penhale is in charge of coat checking. �wn.n:s 2 COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 17, 1961 STUDENT SKETCH EDITORIAL- Save Lives Not Time As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, students are looking forward to a much needed rest and an intermission from the daily routine. As we go our separate ways, many to attend football games, parties, and of course the long-awaited traditional Thanksgiving dinner, a reminder to all who will be traveling is in order. Highway traffic will be at a high over the holiday weekend and once again there will no doubt be a large number of accidents. A warning to all of us comes by way of a few vital statistics: (1) Although those under 25 years of age comprise only 18.4 per cent of all licensed drivers, they are involved in about 28 per cent of all highway accidents and more than 28 per cent of fatal accidents. (2) Almost every traffic collision involves at least one law violation. (3) You can't stop your car on a dime. Actually, a car traveling at 40 mph needs a braking distance of 125 feet, at 50 mph a distance of 133 feet is required, and at 60 mph, the stopping distance is 272 feet. (4) Falling asleep at the wheel is the cause of an increasing number of traffic accidents. A factor is the spread of monotonous, high-speed expressways. Together with these, we might also point out a few winter warnings to drivers. Night falls earlier now and night driving makes special demands on the eyes. Carbon monoxide from your car engine is a sneaky, deadly poison. Always have plenty of fresh air in your car. Above all, keep in mind the rules of safe driving. Drive with caution, care, consideration, and courtesy. Allow yourself plenty of time to get to your destination and then get there, alive. FROM THE FRONT ROW Opening Performance of Campus .Group's "Blithe Spirit" Reviewed by· Dr. William Edgerton Weeks of frantic between-classes rehearsal turned into funny lively comedy last night in Chase Theater, when the Cue and Curtain Players staged Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit". A convulsed audience respond ed gratefull y to live actors in place of TV shadows and called back for repeated curtain calls a student cast who brought to life Britain's witty playwright's wild farce based on the situation of a husband being confronted with both his live wife and a dead wife's ghost until they both disappear "over there". Marc Hirschman, a sophomore from Cedarhurst, N.Y., was the •husband; Ruth Friedlander, sophomore from New York City, was his live wife, and Sieglinde Vallot, freshman from Closter, N.J., was the "Blithe Spirit" , his dead wife's ghost. Dolores Amir, a junior from Bronx, N .Y., was lV1adame Arcati, the dotty spiritualist with the schoolgirl vocabulary. Harvey Stambler, a senior from Lakewood, N .J ., played the Colonel Blimpish Doctor Bradman, and Joan .Pitney, sophomore, Springfield, N.J., his catty wife. Meanwhile, lumbering through the play "on the double" was Edith, the hopeless maid, played by Marsha Hochberg, a sophomore from Tea. neck, N.J. The play, one of Coward's lightest and r unniest, tells the story of a wife coming back from the spirit world during a seance to haunt distractingly a husband who has meanwhile happily remarried. This improbable plat makes a crazy kind of sense as Coward writes it, and high-spirited acting and expert direction, by Alfred S. Groh, Wilkes College drama director, transport the audience into a more-than-willing suspension of disbelief. Backstage a large crew of student production workers labored smoothly through a difficult and carefully timed program to help the actors on the stage create a scene where the antics of ghosts and poltergeists in an English drawing room seemed, if not possible, at least, while the play was progressing, somehow probable. The fa st laconicisms of Coward's line ("Do you see anything interesting in The Times this morning?" "Don't be silly.") and the contrasts between ultra-sophisticated, articulate characters and their opposites demand perfect timing, for the lines, funny as they are, do not play themselves. Even a door opening and shutting has to be perfectly timed. The stage contains for a minute only the "blithe spirit". She is suddenly pursued by the invisible spirit of th e second wife. Out the door fli es the ghost and the door slams behind her. Then the door opens and shuts again as the invisible wife hurries after in pursuit, and as the curtain goes down the audience reponds delightedly to a funny situation which, oddly enough, contains not a whisper of a voice. The door scene reminds the audience that not only was there competent acting and expert direction to make the flight of the blithe spirit believable, but also perfect (continued on page 4) Letters to the Editor · ·,· Dear Editor: The time has come for the general Liberal Arts students of Wilkes College to stop being required to subsidize other Wilkes students, including all students working toward a Bachelor of Science degree. I am referring, of course, to the glaring disparity in the numb er of semester hours permitted to students in the various curricula, with the Bachelor of Arts major running low man. In this respect, the 1961-1962 Bulletin is both illuminating and perplexing. Physics majors are allowed 141 credit hours; Chemistry majors, 140 hours; Secondary Education majors, 138 hours; Accounting majors, 135 hours; majors in Biology or Music Education, 132 hours; Mathematics majors, 131 hours; majors in Business Admin istration, Retailing, Secretarial Studies, or Business Education, 129 hours; Fine Arts Education majors, 128 hours; Elementary Education majors, 127 hours; Music majors, 125 hours; Liberal Arts majors, only 123 hours. In his junior and senior years, a Chemistry major may take 72 credit hours; a Physics major, 71 hours; a Secondary Education major, 70 hours; an Accounting major, 69 hours; a major in Biology or Mathematics, 68 hours; a Business Administration m a j or, 66 hours; a major in Retailing, Secretarial Studies, or Business Education, 65 hours; a Fine Arts Education major, 64 hours; a major in Music, Elementary Education, or Music Education, 63 hours; a Bachelor of Arts major, only 60 hours. Thus, in his last two years, an additional three hundred dollars in order to take the same number of hours a Chemistry major is allowed for the flat tuition rate. Is this fair? Undoubtedly, many a Liberal Arts student would like to take an extra course or two in his junior or senior year, but he is reluctant to do so because of the additional expense involved. If anyone has a reasonable explanation for the discrimination against Liberal Arts students, I would like to read it in this column in the next issue of the Beacon. If not, Liberal Arts students of Wilkes, arise! You have nothing to lose but knowledge! A Liberal Arts Student (name withheld upon request) Dean's Lisi Student Believes In Hard Work and Social Activities by Jerry Shilanski She has been a Dean's Lis student for five semesters, recipient of the Linda B. Morris Award, and probably has the highest average of any student in the business education department. With all these accomplishments to her credit, the fact remains that Ann Znaniecki was undoubtedly the last person to decide to enroll at Wilkes in September, 1958. Ann spent three days in nurses training at the Nesbitt Memorial H9spital that fall before she discovered that nursing wasn't for hlfr.

To the Editor: The recent testimonial dinner to Dr. Farley illustrates quite clearly the important part cooperation plays in making such a project successful. Althoug h the testimonial was sponsored by the Community, were it not for the splendid school spirit exemplified by the various student organizations, the dinner would have fallen far short of its goal.

WHAT - WHERE WHEN - Although this charming senior coed had never had any commercial courses at Nanticoke High School, where she won three academic awards in addition to being chosen valedictorian of her graduating class, she elected business education as her college major. In a relatively short time her skill in shorthand and typing had increased to 130 and 60 words per minute respectively, and she has taken enough courses in English and history to give her a minor in both fields. She was recently named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, she has been a member of the Economics Club, and she is presently a member of the Education Club. Ann plans to do h er student teaching next semester. Ann's future includes teaching, possible graduate study, and definitely marriage. She is engaged to Walter Grzymski, a former engineering major at Wilkes, who will receive h is degree in electrical engineering from Penn State this spring. The tentative date for the wedding is August, 1962. In response to the question, "What do you think of Wilkes?" Ann replied, "I like it. I have no complaints and I would choose it again over a larger school. H ere, a student can g et more personal attention and the small classes are conducive to direct questions and answers." Commenting on the campus social life Ann suggested that the commuting and the dormitory students should get together for more social affairs. "Maybe it's the fault of the commuting students who don't care to come back to the college once they go home; I feel that students should not devote all their time to studies. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," she offered as a bit of advice. Ann was employed last summer as a playground instructor by the Nanticoke School District. She has also worked as a secretary for the Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hipolit Znaniecki of 696 East Main Street, Nanticoke, P ennsylvania. Small College Will Enable Students to Relate Ideas To be required of all seniors with a background of Western Civilization, the new "capstone" course at Alma College was developed this past summer in a faculty workshop. This completes the plans of the new curriculum which were to include Western Civilization and a senior course of some kind to fill the additional religion requirement. Varied in method of teaching and material covered, the course is titled "Man and the Modern World-The Examined Life", and has as its purpose to confront the student with the ideal which directs and integrates a Christian liberal arts education. In examining this ideal, the student will first consider wholenes. or oneness as a property of truth and wisdom. This will involve a consideration of the pre-suppositions, implications and current developments in scientific and humanistic studies. A second part of the ideal to be dealt with will be the concept of the nature of an education as a trust involving a responsibility of participation in and contribution to society. �Friday, November 17, 1961 3 WILKES COLLF.GE BEACON Gridders Face Crusader TD Machine Six Seniors Finish Grid Careers Against Highly-Rated Crusaders Tomorrow Night al Selinsgrove ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Eller Named All-East For Outstanding Play tColonels Look for Second Win Against Undefeated Susquehanna Football fans are quick to praise a poised quarterback, a speedy Tomorrow when the Colonel gridders travel down-river to meet the halfback, a bruising fullback, or a Crusaders of Susquehanna University in the final game of the current sticky-fingered end.

Tom has done a more than adequate job performing as fullback as he leads the team in rushing. A 5'10", 170-pound Plymouth resident, he is completing his fourth year of varsity football. H is play in the defensive backfield has been praised throughout his collegiate career. Tom, a co-captain, should be ready to return to the lineup tomorrow after a one-week absence due to an injury sustained in the Dickinson game. RICK REES A former Marine, Rick has been a steady performer during his four-year duty with the Colonels.

A project of the club's freshmen, the demonstration, planned by Richard Allardyce, will acquaint Wilkesmen with the varied aspects of amateur radio. Jerry Berk, Dick Emmel, Bill Shukis, Phil Lakernick,and John Biga will alternate on the short wave apparatus, and demonstrate ham radio on the air by trying to contact other hams at colleges and universities round the c o u n t r y.

Finally, the operators will answer visitors' questions and outline the club's plans for the future. DIGEST ARTICLE STATES: Intelligence Tests No Longer Reliable Intelligence tests are no longer very intelligent ways to judge intelligence. In fact, a pupil's intelligence can be as accurately revealed by his grades and his behavior as they can by I.Q. test scores. This is among conclusions drawn by many psychologists and educators and reported by John Lagemann in a December Reader's Digest article, which criticizes toorigid reliance on I.Q. tests as outmoded and harmful. I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) scores were once regarded as accurate harbingers of academic success. "Hifh -1.Q.'s" were carefully nursed along t o w a r d college careers, while low scorers were academically sidetracked. I.Q. scores are still heavily relied upon in deciding how our children fare academically, although teachers are becoming more cautious in their use of the tests. One drawback of I.Q. tests is that they don't really measure intelligence, which is an amalgam of many different qualities. Dr. H~n.ry Dyer of the Princeton, N.J., Educational Testing Service says, "An aptitude test tells how well a pupil can cope with tasks like those in the test at the time he takes the test, and it tells nothing more." One of the qualities I.Q. cannot accurately reveal is creativity, a vital factor in intelligence .Another is adaptability. Tests tend to favor fast "top-of-the-head" thinkers over creative, reflective ones. Another objection to I.Q. tests is that they tend to equate intelligence with cultural advantages. Children in prosperous surroundings show about four times as many above 1Z5 I.Q. scores as their poorer, citydwelling counterparts-not because of greater ability, but thanks to greater exposure to such cultural advantages as books and magazines. Some educators have suggested that we throw out the standardized, machine-graded tests altogether, and rely on more individual methods of measuring intelligence. What- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1961 Student Government ActivUies Policy Becomes Effective Today by Gloria Zaludek Student Government's newly adopted policy regarding activities forms will go into effect today. This recently adopted policy states that all organizations must obtain permission from the Student Government to hold all student funcions. These funcions include both those open to the entire student body and those closed to the members of a particular group or organization and their guests. Activities forms must be submitted to the calendar committee of the Student Government for approval not less than two weeks prior to the scheduled activity. These forms may be procured from the office of the Director of Student Activities or from the Student Government. At the Student Government meetings, the calendar committee will submit the activities forms signed by two chaperones in addition to the club's president or vice-president, and the chairman of the affair. Student Government will prosecute violators of the new policy with penalties, social or financial, according to the severity of the offense. Several other issues were discussed at the last meeting. Mike Bianco and Jim Walters moved that the $471.66, remaining in the budget Al Kishel from last year, be allocated for Student Govemment President scholarships and / or for the stereo- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - < > p h o n i c equipment in the cafeteria.

The ball-hawking duo of Pearsal and Evans spelled plenty of trouble for the Wilkesmen last season and will be out to match their fifty-point outburst that spelled victory for the Lions.

Frank DiGennari led the team with a 177520. Barry Shevchuk was high man for the losing Gutterdusters with 182-514. The M&M Slammers registered their first shutout of the season in white-washing the Faculty, 4-0. Bill Jones was high scorer for the Slammers as he racked up 197-526. For the faculty both Fran Pinkowski and Joe Trosko cleared the 500 barrier, hitting 180-511 and 17 4503 respectively. A victory over the Rebels gave the Playboys sole possession of second place, six games behind the Foul Lines. Bill Watkins led the Playboys to their 3-1 win as he pounded out a 198-540.

With the tallest man on the squad standing only 6'3", Coach Davis has his team playing possession ball with an extra emphasis on the fast break when the opportunity lends itself. Leading the Colonels onto the hardwoods are co-captains Tom Pugh and Harvey Rosen. Pugh, a 6'1" senior, has been the mainstay of the Colonel squad for the past three seasons and has matured into a sturdy rebounder and playmaker under the watchful eye of Davis. "Guff" is especially noted for his deadly hook-shots as he rotates inthe post. Rosen, a 6'2" junior, was the top scorer on the Colonel squad last season and was crowned "King of the Foul Line" by leading the country's hoopsters in foul shooting. The "Rose" is especially accurate with his patented jump-shot. The rest of the starting five is made up of Dick Morgan, Bob Fleming, and John Moore. Morgan will be the playmaker of the squad as he replaces Clem Gavenas at a guard post. The sturdy sophomore is a crafty ball handler and will furnish the speed on the fast break.

Saodat Hosan, chief of press and public liaison will speak on a subject dealing with the countries of the Arab Middle East. All too often, many of us merely scan the headlines and are little concerned with affairs in countries other than our own. The countries with which Mr. Hosan is familiar are currently coping with political. social. and economic problems which frequently lead to international repercussions. Opportunities such as this, to learn first hand information, which, with the world situation today, could affect all of us as individuals. We should all make an earnest effort to attend this interesting and informative lecture. To the anonymous Liberal Arts Student : In regard to your virulent charge that Liberal Arts students are unjustly required to subsidize students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree, I feel that your alleged objections are somewhat unwarranted. A liberal arts student is mainly interested in receiving a broad education. The technical stud en t (usually taking a Bachelor of Science degree), however, is in college to receive a vocation. In order to be adequately trained for a job, the technical aspirant requires many more hours of personal instruction. The liberal arts student needs only an introduction to the material and, if he is ambitious enough, can successfully fulfill his interest in the subject matter. The college provides a library of some 55,000 volumes and numerous periodicals. Furthermore, the facilities of the Osterhout and Hoyt Libraries and if the student is a sedulous bee, he can write through the college to the New York Public Library and receive most any information that interests him. The college also presents the WilkesBarre Philharmonic O r c h e s t r a which should interest anyone who considers himself in the liberal arts. Unless Mr. Disgruntled Liberal Arts Student is a lethargic troglodyte, I feel that he can receive a very good and broad education at Wilkes by working earnestly and ardently. I have unequivocally shown that the disconted liberal arts students can mitigate their fears for they are not being treated unjustly. May I further remind my friend that is often better to have quality and not quantity. Sincerely Philip R. Siegel Class of 1963 NEW BOOKS Works of Khrushchev/ Borek, and Hall Added lo Library Shelves A major book no thinking American can afford to miss is Nikita S. Khrushchev's For Victory in Peaceful Competition with Capitalism. In its pages the Premier and First Deputy of the Soviet Union gives his "blueprint for tomorrow" as he reveals what he thinks about everything from Sputniks to "liberation" of West Berlin. American readers will be particularly interested in his unusual interpretation of history found in such statements as "The Soviet Union developed the hydrogen bomb before the United States'' and "There was never an agreement to hold free elections in Germany." Today, our most elaborate scientific · efforts are directed toward probing the vastness of space. But equally spectacular and potentially more beneficial exploration is going on within the infinitely small cell as illustrated by Dr. Ernest Borek in The Atoms Within Us. The great biochemical discoveries are discussed; how they were made, and how man's longevity and freedom from disease have grown from them. Louis Halie's Dream and Reality deals with the human nature of foreign policy. Mr. Halle, a former member of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff, writes as one who knows from personal experience that government is people. Written in a prose that makes reading a pleasure, this book covers all the aspects of American foreign policy. He is unarmed but not defenceless, for he has a deadly weaponhis tongue and his wit. He is poor, but the world is his. He is lonely, but has a million friends. Such is the hero of a novel by Leonid Solouyou e n t i t 1 e d The Enchanted Prince.

Varied Experiences Recommended For Ari Sludenls by Kajkowski by Gloria Zaludek "In art we continually search, put down what we find, then look for something better. It is the spirit of creativity that we foster." Edward Kajkowski, senior art education major and president of the Art Club, looked up from his canvas to philosophize a little about art. Ed is a realist. but has great respect for abstract art. In answer to this reporter's question, "What do you look for in an abstract painting?" Ed answered: "First check the title. If a concrete meaning or emotion is suggested, for example, 'Revolt!' then the artist has a specific, planned purpose behind his efforts. Colors would be emotional; contrast would be more pronounced; edges, jagged; movement, strong and erratic." To be a good artist one must have varied experiences. A student can often gain such experiences by working at diversified part-time jobs. Ed has done this. A former bingo caller and an employee of the Bureau of Employment Security in Nanticoke, he has also worked at the Twin Pines Dude Ranch in the Poconos. Activity is the keynot of Ed's life. In addition to serving as president of the Art Club, Ed, who will student teach next semester, is a member of the Manuscript, the Wilkes-Barre Art League, and a former member of the Chemistry Club. Unlike other student teachers who spend eight weeks in one school, art majors teach four weeks in the elementary and four in the Edward Kajkowski secondary schools. Ed has several ---------------,1->interesting views concerning art education. He says that the teaching of art does not simply involve the production of "pretty pictures".

Pointing out that federal aid to ed ucat ion is here, and here to stay, with the fe deral government now paying 80 per cent of the cost of research at universities, the SUI graduate college dean added that 95 per cent of this subsidy goes to the natural sciences. "While massive aid is clearly needed for -the research effort in the sciences , the preoccupation of the fed eral agencies with these branches of learning unquestionably brings imbalances of support into our a cademic household that we ca·n not li ve with and be true to our calling," the SUI dean said. In a n effort to develop the whole a cadem ic spectrum universities need to urge consideration of an 'Advanced Institute for Humanistic Studies' and of a 'Social Science Foundation,' Dean Weaver said. Ther e is also reason for concern lest government agencies with clearly defined practical jobs to be done divert able scholars into routine programs of testing and development, rather than leaving them free to engage in fundam ental research far more consistent with Northeastern Pennsylvania's Headquarters for College Fashions GAN THE NEW UNIVERSITYSHOP ~,.z,'"- -~t)1iaf.wt. Navy Offers Training As Sea~going Officers To Interested Seniors The Navy announced recently that college seniors interested in a training program for sea-going officers or for officers of the Navy Staff Corps are eligible to apply now for appointment to Officer Candidate School. The school, which is located in Newport, Rhode Island, provides candidates with the academic, technical , and military background necessary for Naval Service. Young men with college degrees may obtain commission after four months of schooling at Newport. In addition to a college degree, a candidate must be a citizen of the United States and between the ages of nineteen and twenty-seven. Classes convene at Newport every two months, and because of recent expansion of Officer Candidate School facilities, a greater number of candidates can now be accomodated. Applications are now being accepted for the 1962 classes. A Navy Information Team will visit our campus next Wednesday and Thursday to conduct an informal discussion of the program as well as the numerous other officer programs a vailable to college men. This team, comprised of LCDR. Nadler and Lt. Bess Bryant, is from the Na vy Recruiting Station in Philadelphia and will be prepared to answer any questions which students may have. These officers will be in the Cafeteria on both these days.

It involved the financing of an activity sponsored by a group that is not "recognized". To be recognized, a group must have a constitution approved by Student Government and the administrative council of the college. After this they are eligible for funds allotted by the Government and for scheduling on the calendar.

Because of the cultural advantage involved, several Student Government members proposed that the Government sponsor the films under the chairmanship of Mr. Ribas, Spanish instructor. This motion was passed. Rick Rees and Bud Meneker, cochairmen of the Winter Carnival, made a report of possible locations. Buckhill Falls Inn offered the best physical set-up for winter sports, however, several other places were investigated. Another technicality was exposed when Cue and Curtain submitted an activity form with only one chaperone. The Government decided to accept it because a similar form from the theatrical group had been accepted previously. It was decided that this matter would be taken up by the calendar and poli- The Student Leaders Conference next week will give any student leader an opportunity to discuss topics of current interest.

Novice Debaters Rest; Varsity Goes to Villanova Last weekend, a novice debate team travelled to Temple University to participate in an annual novice debate tournament. This was the third tournament of the current season for the novice team and marks the end of the novices' activity until the second semester. At Temple University, the Wilkes affirmative team, composed of John Campbell and Andy Majikas, met teams from the University of Delaware, Rosemont College, the University of Maryland, and Columbia University. The negative team, composed of William ·Holmes and Pauline Bostjancic, met teams from Hunter College, George Washington University, Dartmouth College, and Holy Family College. The varsity team opens its season tomorrow at Villanova University in that school's Second Annual Invitational Debate Tournament. For this tournament, Campbell and Majikas will remain on the affirmative; Lynne Dente and Jerome Krasa make up the negative team.

In the spirit of the forthcoming season, not only will the traditional Christmas tree appear in the lobby, but, in addition, Saint Nick, in spite of an extremely busy schedule, has graciously consented to make an advance visit to Wilkes to reward all good boys and girls with favors. To further set the mood, Dean Ralston and the Lettermen will entertain with caroling during intermission. Santa's helpers responsible for organizing the affair are Donald Eller, favors; Erwin Guetig, orchestra; Thomas Pugh, invitations; Brooke Yeager, program; John Tensa, chaperones; Roger Rolfe, decorations; Paul Aquilino, tickets. The girls of Theta Delta Rho have also helped the "Merry Old Soul" by designing the table decorations, while Leonard Yoblonski and William Schwab have created the backdrop for the orchestra. Dean George Ralston, Dr. Francis Michelini, and Dr. Harold Thatcher will chaperone the affair, which will last until midnight - the witching hour, when all the magic will disappear and reality will return. Scholarships Available To Eligible Students The Student Government is now accepting applications for Student Government scholarships. These scholarships are available to any student who is not presently receiving scholarship assistance. Forms are now ready at the Student Government office and also in the office of Miss Joan Borowski, Mr. Morris' secretary. The scholarships amount to $460 and will be split into four awards and will be presented for the Spring semester. The deadline for application is January 5. A committee of Student Government members will select a list of names from the applications and these in turn will be presented to the executive council for the final decision. �2 Wll.KES COLLEGE BEACON University of Chicago Offers Fellowships lo Scholar-Teachers Herman G. Richey, Dean of the Graduate School of Education at the University of Chicago, has announced that sixty fellowships ranging in amount from $500 to $2000 have been made available for qualified college seniors who are interested in preparing for a career as a scholar-teacher in secondary schools. Recipients of the awards will enter the University's Master of Arts in Teaching program in September of 1962. According to Dr. Richey the program is designed to produce high school teachers who will be outstanding both in scholarly competence and in teaching effectiveness. This program includes up to a year of graduate study in the department of the teaching field and inquiry into the art and science of teaching, including one year as a salaried resident teacher with a reduced load. The scholar-teacher program, developed with assistance from the Ford Foundation, integrates the study of theoretical concepts, extensive practice in the art of teaching, and graduate study and research in one of twelve areas. The twelve fields for which the program provides preparation are biology, chemistry, English, French, geography, German, history, mathematics, physics, Russian, Spanish, and social studies. Students with good undergraduate records of preparation in the liberal arts and sufficient concentration for graduate study in one of the twelve teaching fields are eligible to be considered. Criteria for selection include intellectual capacity, scholarly aptitudes, and assessment of personality and other characteristics relevant to effective teaching. Additional information and application forms may be obtained from the Dean of Students, Graduate School of Education, University of Chicago, Chicago 37, Illinois. Hungry, Thirsty Explorers Gave Country Novel Place Names Ever wonder how a place got its name? Or what the name means? Writer Gary Jennings did and from his curiosity has come an article titled "Why Did They Call It That ?" which appears in the December Reader's Digest. · Among the conclusions Jennings came to during his research was that many of our early settlers wer e hungry or thirsty. This may be a natural assumption in view of the historic travails of explorers and discoverers. But Jennings bases his case on more than history; he cites such names as Bread Loaf and Sugar Loaf Mountains and Martha's Vineyard, among others as evidence of our forebears' gastronomic interest. Not merely hungry and thirsty but also tired were our early settlers, if the profligeration of names such as Kate Comfort are proper indications. Indian names, which we sunround with an air of mystery and romance, are somewhat more prosaic than we like to think. For example, the article notes, the lovely Indian word "she-ka-gong," which in transliteration became Chicago, actually means "stinking river". , .Occasionally citizens will realize the publicity value of a namechange for their community, as happened recently when the tiny community of Tightsqueeze, Va., changed its name to Fairview. Dazzled by breaking into news columns with this switch, the town fathers promptly changed the name back to Tightsqueeze and made headlines again! When last heard from the town was still called Tightsqueeze, presumably to remain so until an enterprising publicist decides the time is right for a change.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1961 STUDENT SKETCH Letter to the Editor • • • Dear Mr. Editor: Mr. Siegel's letter of last week was an ineffectual exposition of selfishness. On the whole, I agree with Mr. Siegel that "a liberal arts student is mainly interested in receiving a broad education." However, it should be obvious, even to Mr. Siegel, that so many courses are offered at Wilkes, the liberal arts student might have to carry 135 credits during his stay at Wilkes to acquire this "broad" education. If Mr. Siegel had taken the time to read the Wilkes College Bulletin, he might have saved us from the shock of his flagrant misconceptions. The truth is that "the liberal arts program is primarily concerned with individual development and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and perspective as opposed to narrow skills." The purpose of the Bachelor of Science degree is not, as Mr. Siegel says, to see that "the students who are in college to receive a vocation are adequately trained for a job." As far as I am concerned, the purpose of the Bachelor of Science degree is the same as that of the Liberal Arts degree. However, most of the students I know working for a Bachelor of Science degree had decided what they would like to major in before they came to college. Because of this, _they were able to take courses in their major right from their first semester as freshmen. This does not mean that students working for Bachelor of Science degrees receive a narrow education, for they are also required to take many courses covering a wide variety of subject matter. It's just that Bachelor of Science students seem to receive a greater concentration in their major fields of endeavor during early semesters at college. Mr. Siegel is right when he says, "It is often better to have quality and not quantity," but may I further remind my friend that it is even better to have quality and quantity, both of which can be had at Wilkes. Sincerely, Michael A. Landesman Class of 1964 National Contest Will Honor All-Round Coed as Outstanding College Girl Who will be the next National College Queen? Just think, girls, it may be one of you! The annual search is on to select and honor "the nation's most outstanding college girl". All undergraduate girls, from freshmen through and including seniors, are eligible. The National College Queen is not just a "beauty queen" with charm and personality. Equally important are her academic record, her campus activities, her hobbies, and her community service. She is a typical American college girl bright, alert, and personable. There is a fabulous list of prizes at stake. The Regional winners will spend an exciting weekend in Manhattan, touring Radio City Music Hall, seeing Broadway shows, meeting celebrities, and appearing on television. The National College Queen will receive an automobile, a diamond ring, and a $500 wardrobe. So, girls, apply for an entry blank that can make you dreams come true. Just write to: National College Queen Contest Committee, Suite 1606, Paramount Building, 1501, Broadway, New York 36, New York. Classmates, fraternities, sororities, and campus clubs are able to nominate a girl as a candidate by writing to the same address. Senior Music Education Major To Give Sunday Organ Recilal by Jerry Shilanski "A man that has a taste of music, painting, or achitecture, is like one that has another sense, when compared with such as have no relish of those arts." Had you stopped at a London newstand, just 250 years ago, you would have read this statement in a little tabloid known as The Spectator rather than The Beacon. Nevertheless, where or when you read it is immaterial. The important thing is that it is appropriate today, and that it applies to a fair senior coed at Wilkes, perhaps more than any other person past or present. Nancy R. Thomas has "always been interested in music and art," therefore it is not at all urprising that she decided to major in music education when she entered college four years ago. She has devoted at least ten years of study and practice to the piano and organ. Sunday afternoon, these years of hard work will be climaxed when Nancy gives her senior music recital on the fourmanual pipe organ. The public is invited to attend. The program which includes selections from Bach, Franck, Dallier, Von Williams, and Langlais will begin at 4:00 p.m. in St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, located at 35 South Franklin Street. The recital will be under the direction of Clifford Balshaw, a member of the college music faculty and Organist and Choir Director of St. Stephen's Church.

Releases may be obtained from Dean Ralston's secretary on the second floor of Chase Hall or from Ellie Nielsen, at noon, in the Commons. Mrs. Doris Saracino, coach of the girls' basketball team, recently welcomed a gratifying turnout of 35 girls who are hopeful of attaining one of the six starting positions on the team. Four returning letter winners will form the core of the Colonelette squad. These four are Carol Rhines, Anne Ligetti, Carol Thomas, the only senior on the roster, and Regina Ritzie. Miss Ritzie was high scorer last season and, in a game with Misericordia, tossed in 34 points. The remainder of the candidates are mostly frosh. Among these are a number of fine prospects who have had experience in high school. Although, as Mrs. Saracino reports, many of the girls have not had previous varsity experience, they are all working hard to form a winning team. This afternoon at 4 the Colonelettes will journey across the river to play the Kingston High School team. This is the first of a series of pre-season exhibition games which have been scheduled to provide the girls with much-needed experience. On Monday the girls will play Coughlin High School at the Wilkes Gym at 4 p.m. and on Wednesday, Jan. 13, they travel to St. Ann's Academy for another 4 p.m. encounter. Middle Atlantic Conference competition will begin for Mrs. Saracino's charges on Jan. 4 when they travel to Moravian College for a night game. Among the other teams on their tentative schedule are Misericordia, Albright, and Muhlenberg.

Last season the lthacamen took an 89-67 win from the Colonels as the Blue and Gold were hampered by an overflow of personal fouls.

Columnist Gives Views On Student Preparation Learning to earn a living is not necessarily learning how to live, feels Clyde Buzzard, Tulane Hullabaloo columnist. He comments: " ... Almost anybody can make a living these days, but almost nobody goes to the trouble of actually being alive. "How many students have seriously considered what they will do with their spare time when they get out of school? How many people have looked past the contents of their life to discover what kind of form it's going to have? Few, I'll warrant. "Don't think that I'm going to talk about well-rounded men. I prefer men with lots of corners on them. In fact the analogy would be better if I switched sexes and said I like women with curves, but not women who are all one curve. "It seems to me that universities would do well to concentrate a.little more on preparing their students to meet themselves one of these days, rather than spending the time preparing them to meet the world. "Who knows! Eventually the world might even meet them halfway."

Dean's O_ffice Announces Completion of Lounge For Women Students Freshman Coed Brings Extensive Background lo Presidential Post by Maryann Berger The women of Wilkes have been anticipating for a long time the completion of the women's lounge, and the Dean's office is happy to announce that work has been complet ed and the lounge is now ready for occupancy. Women day students may relax or study in the lounge which is located on the second floor of Pickering Hall. Highlighted by comfortabl e leather chairs in a variety of colors and pale green carpeting, it is at once r elaxing and beautiful. With the off-white walls and beige drapes the room makes one think of a peaceful haven in which to r ela x and forget everything. Another service available to the women day students at the lounge is first aid. Anv woman student needing medical ·aid is advised to call the office of the Dean of W omen and aid will be sent at once to the lounge. Voters in the freshman class recently demonstrated modem sociological trends when they elected Cathy DeAngelis president. To this reporter's knowledge, it was the first time in the history of Wilkes that a woman student was chosen head of her class. Miss DeAngelis brings to her post an extensive background in administrative duties. She was president of her class for her junior and senior years at Old Forge High School and president of her class through three years of nurses' training.

Though membership is open to all students interested in German, it is not necessary to be taking German at the present time. Florence Gallagher is chairman of the group. The students are planning to sing Christmas carols at the homes of members of the group on Friday, December 22. They are also planning to have a German lunch table in the cafeteria at which German will be spoken almost exclusively. At their last meeting, Mr. Fred Krohle showed slides which he had taken on his recent tour of Europe.

Science Foundation to Aid Undergraduate Studies To meet the critical need of many educational institutions, particularly smaller colleges, for modern sci entific instructional equipment, the National Science Foundation r ecently announced a program to provide funds, on a carefully selective and matching basis, for the purchase of scientific equipment for undergraduate instruction. Colleges and universities granting science bachelors degrees may request funds to assist them in purchasing scientific equipment to be used in the laboratory or in lecture.demonstratio.n sessions. Examples of -equipment eligible for purchase under the program include microscopes, centrifuges, microtones, test eq_liipIP,ent, . and similar scientific .apparatus. . Proposals may not exceed $25thousand ii\ order that the widest possible group of departments may benefit. All grants in the program are required to be on a matching basis with at least 50 per cent of the direct costs to be incurred derived from non-Federal sources. Each institution offering the bachelor's degree in the sciences will be advised, by a letter to its president, of the maximum number of proposals which will be accepted for review. Each president will then select those disciplinary units of his school which may seek support. In those cases where r ecognition She is a registered nurse and a graduate of Scranton State Hospital. She worked last year at Columbia Medical Center in New York City. During her years in training she ser ved the area, state, and National Student Nurses Association. This association started when Cathy acted as master of ceremonies at an area talent show for the Student Nurses Association. Her next appearance came at the end of her freshman year when she presented a comedy skit about emcees at the state convention talent show. This won her an award for the best act in the show. Because of this success, she was invited to emcee the National Student Nurses Association talent shows in both Atlantic City and Miami Beach Convention Halls. These were held before estimated audiences of 5,000 to 6,000 persons. Student Nurses Association of Pennsylvania (SNAP) elected her vice-president for the year 1959-60. She also served as chairman of the membership committee on the state level. SNAP awarded her a life-membership in their organization. This has been given to only one other woman, the founder of the Pennsylvania chapter. Cathy is presently majoring in biology with medical school in her future plans. Studying to be a doctor is a fulfillment of a long-time dream. When asked about the campaign on campus, Cathy stated, "It was a spirited campaign, one of the finest campaigns I have seen." Cathy wishes to state that Mary Leen Vannoy, h er campaign manager, "was tops, really sharp, full of ideas" when it comes to effective campaigning. She went on to say, "If all the nominees were really sincere, want to work, and will cooperate, we should really go places." " I think it's great that the students were unbiased, and I will try to prove that they were right in making this decision. There is no distinction between male and female in this capacity." of the need for improvement of the content and focus of undergraduate instruction is accompanied by adequate staffing and supported by detailed planning, the Undergraduate Instructional Scientific Equipment Program may assist by providing, on a matching basis, the necessary instructional equipment. ~- + + • + + + • • • Book & Card Marl 10 S.

STUDENT WEEKLY WILKFS COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Vol. XXVI, No. 12 "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1961 Miner Family Donates Home To College Carols Are Recorded By Madrigal Singers For Holiday Album DR. EUGENE S. FARLEY, President President's Holiday Message It was a happy thought of the Beacon Staff to issue a special edition for the parents at Christmas time. This special issue is particularly appropriate to the season for it is a time when we relax and allow ourselves to enjoy more fully the warmth of affection within the family and among mends. It is a season when the spirits of all of us are released and are allowed to soar a bit. All of us are better for the partial release of our finer sentiments. Something of Christmas stays with us through the year and we are happier and finer because of this lingering sentiment. As the students of Wilkes turn to their homes for the Christmas season, I hope that this issue of the Beacon will convey to all parents and students, the warmth of sentiment that permeates the larger family of Wilkes College. Mrs. Farley joins with me in wishing that the warm spirit of Christmas may be yours today, and in the months to come. Campus U.N. Group Acquaints Students wilh Other Countries The members of the Wilkes College Chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations have been busily engaged in many programs during the past few weeks. They recently sponsored a visit to our campus by Mr. Saodat Hosan, chief of press and public liaison of the Arab Information Center in N ew York. The purpose of Mr. Hosan's visit was to acquaint the student body with the functions of his organization. In obser vance of UN Week, the me mbers not only set up a display in the libr ary about the United Nat ions; they also arranged for Mr. David P. Haxton to appear at our student assembly program that week. Mr. Haxton, field representative of UNICEF, spoke about the vari- ous facets of UNICEF in trying to provide aid to the millions of needy women and children throughout the world. During that same week, four CCUN members attended a Rotary luncheon where they spoke on the purposes and ideals of the United Nations. Last week, three delegates from the campus chapter attended a twoday conference in New York City. The conference entitled "1961, UN Year of Crisis", featured Prime Minister Nehru of India as the pr incipal speaker. The most recent project completed was the selling of Christmas cards, the proceeds of which have been donated to the UNICEF fund. Included among future plans for this group are : the initiation of a monthly forum, a state convention, The sixteen melodious voices of the Madrigal Singers, well-known vocal group on campus, have been recorded in a selection of favorite Yuletide carols. They are available to the students of Wilkes at the Bookstore in monophonic long play Christmas albums at $3.95 each. Splashed across the front cover of t he album is a colorful scene of the carolers in front of President Farley's home on South River Street. On the back cover are printed words to the carols. Among the selections included in the album are " What Child Is This", and "Go Tell It On The Mountain". The carols are sung a cappella, except for one selection in which the carolers also play instruments. They were chosen by Mr. Richard Chapline, director of the Singers, and are also favorites of the group. The past performance of the Madrigal Singers, according to Mr. Chapline, enables them to expand into the special recording field. ' The talented job they turn in on the tape attests to their skill and practice. The songs were recorded last April by Mr. Clewell of the Public Relations Office. Members of the group are Patricia Lutz, Evelyn Platt, Diane Smith, Nancy Thomas, Christine Bialagowicz, Bonnie Jenkins, Barbara Lewis, Sharon Nunemacher, Janet Simpson, Thomas Kanas, Michael Stretanski, Walter Umla, Merrit Wheeler, Ronald Baldwin, David Jones, Eugene Kelleher, and Richard Probert. They are divided into four-part harmony, with four voices performing each of the alto, soprano, tenor, and bass parts. Amnicola Work Advances Toward May 15 Dateline Work on this year's Amnicola is now well under way and Harry Collier, this year's editor, hopes to have it available to students on or about May 15. There are 192 pages in this year's publication featuring fi ve colored pages and several tinted ones. This year's publication also includes a great deal of individual art work. Undergraduates are reminded to have their photos taken the week after the Christmas recess if they hope to be in this year's Amnicola. and a Model General Assembly. The monthly forum, to be initiated in January, would consist of a question and answer session or a panel discussion about education overseas. Participating in these forums will be exchange students from our campus and other exchange students living in the area. The state convention to be held at Wilkes sometime during the second semester will have Jerry Shi- Soulh Franklin Slreet Building Was Home of Dr. Charles Miner It was recently announced that the College has acquired the spacious Miner home, which is located at 264 South Franklin StreeL The home was occupied by the late Dr. Charles H.

Dr. Miner was the Pennsylvania Secretary of Health during the administration of Governor Pinchot, Luzerne County Director of Health during the administration of Gov. John S. Fisher, and head of the Tuberculosis Society. The Miner Horne, newest addition Since the death of Dr. Miner, the home has been occupied by his widow, the former Grace Lea Shoemaker.

Miner, Jr., a long-time friend of the college, is now serving as secretary of the Wilkes Board of Trustees. to the Wilkes campus community Mrs. Miner now resides in a smaller home, presently being completed, which is adjacent to her former residence. The home was built 91 years ago by Dr. Miner's father, the Honorable Charles A. Miner. He, too, had a distinguished career and was active in community development. After being r emodeled, the home will be utilized as a dormitory. Sing Along With the Music Faculty at Next Assembly Program Student Govt.

In addition to an increase in the size of this issue, copies of this newspaper are also being mailed to the parents of each member of the student body. One of the purposes of this extended effort is to acquaint the parents not only with the Beacon, but also with many other aspects of college life. It is appropriate that this issue appear during the . holiday season when many of us will have additional time available to read a little more than usual and to look around us at the occurrences which have taken place at Wilkes in the past several months. We of the Beacon staff are pleased to present and to dedicate this issue to the parents of Wilkes College students, twithout whose help, many of us would not be able to enjoy the benefits of a college education. Lose a Minute and Save a Life Save lives - not time. This slogan which has appeared frequently in the newspapers and various other communications media during the past several years becomes particularly appropriate as the holiday season draws near. All of us are busily planning and preparing for the numerous events which will take place in the next several weeks and it is a time when many of us will be doing a great deal of travelling. It is at this time that we are reminded that accidents occur not only on long distance journeys but also on short drives. Accidents may occur anywhere at anytime. You may be the world's best driver - but what about the other fellow? A note from the Traveler's Insurane Company reminds us that more than 34 % of the drivers involved in fatal accidents in 1960 were under 25 or over 65 years of age. The possibilities of hazardous driving conditions due to seasonal weather presents another problem. Although almost 84 % of the casualties in 1960 occurred in clear weather, the threat of inclement weather always heightens the possibility of accidents if the driver does not take added precautions. Overall accident statistics for 1960 also show that most fatal accidents occurred on weekends. The Christmas and New Year holiday season is a time for joy and merrymaking, but it is also a time when we must seriously consider our responsibility to ourselves and to our fellow Americans. Another Addition The recent announcement of the acquisition by the college of another building in the community has once again instilled a sense of pride and satisfaction in all who are in any way concerned with Wilkes. The building at 264 South Franklin Street, formerly the Miner residence brings the total number of college-owned properties to thirty. Mrs. Charles H. Miner, who made the contribution, and her family have long been listed among the friends of the college. Her husband, the late Dr. Charles Miner, was a prominent physician in Wyoming Valley. Her son, Charles H. Miner, Jr., has been a member of the Board of Trustees for some time and is currently serving it in the capacity of secretary. It is with a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation that we extend our thanks to Mrs. Miner, for remembering the college with this generous gift. Drinking Each campus in a state where the legal drinking age is twenty-one faces the same sort of social problem; what to do about those students under the legal age who see no harm in breaking the law. In some instances the administration expressly forbids illegal drinking by any student and backs this up with a strong policing system. In other colleges the restrictions are either half-hearted or there are no restrictions at all. One of the main factors that makes the drinking situation so difficult is the lack of social ostracism for any student taking an illegal drink. What will we comply with - the law, or social norms? As long as the law is in force, we have a duty as citizens to obey it, and the right to try to change it. On this campus the following policy has been set up, "Alcoholic beverages will not be served at student affairs." This policy has the firm support of both the administration and the Student Government. Many students who are of legal age have voiced complaints because they can not drink alcoholic beverages at certain student affairs held off campus. They are reminded that as long as any one under twenty-one is in attendance at these activities, drinking in their presence is, in the words of Pennsylvania state law, "contributing to the delinquency of a minor". Anyone who does purchase or accept an alcoholic drink under these circumstanes is subject to penalty. Although less than one-fourth of the student body of this college is legally able to drink, many more students wish to and in reality do. What sort of social interaction causes this situation? Is there a social lag between present practices in society and state law? Why do certain areas such as New York State and the District of Columbia have a legal age of eighteen for the purchasing and consuming of alcoholic beverages? We can not begin to present answers to these questions, and we admit to being curious about a seemingly arbitrary setting of legal age. If there is one reason or many reasons for the setting of this legal age, an adequate explanation of them for the benefit of college students might cause more abeyance to the letter of the law. Letters To The Editor: Dear Seniors: Thank you for thinking of the linguistic development of our college. No gift will be more appreciated than the language laboratory equipment you are giving to Wilkes. We will always remember your thoughtfulness, and Wilkes students will be ever grateful to the class of 1962. Vielen Dank, mil gracias, merci infiniment. The Modern Foreign Language Department * * * To the Students and Faculty of Wilkes College: On behalf of the members and coaches of the 1961 Wilkes College football team, we would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to you for your support during the past season. Anyone who says that the spirit at Wilkes is low should have been at the games, both home and away, to see the faithful students and faculty of the college supporting the team to the fullest. It is easy for fans to follow and stand by a winning team, but through a disappointing season, you attended the games in impressive numbers. To us, this is a .show of great loyalty to your school and to your team. A team needs moral support as much as it needs spirit and precision, and you certainly gave us that moral support at all the games. Our thanks again to you all. Sincerely, Rick Rees Tom Krisulevicz Don Eller Co-captains, 1961 Wilkes College football team Senior Education Major Feels Aclivilies Augment Academic Work The tables were turned on this week's subject for the student sketch, Cynthia Hagley, when she became the interviewee instead of the interviewer. Having been a four year member of the Beacon staff, and its news editor for two years, this senior elementary education major has interviewed both faculty and students, and has skillfully written and edited many of the newspaper's articles. "Being a member of the Beacon staff has given me the opportunity to do things I otherwise would not have done," Cynthia began. "When I visited Hampton Institute in Virginia as a member of the exchange weekend program, for example, I was allowed to attend a news conference held by G. Mennen Williams, assistant Secretary of State in charge of African affairs. "When I got there," she continued, "I was overwhelmed with the fast pace and the sharp questioning period that went on. After I got used to the procedure, I posed a question to Mr. Williams myself. To my amazement the reporters there continued my line of questioning." Then there was the time in her sophomore year when, attending the Wilkes-Scranton University football game, Cynthia tried using her press card instead of paying Cynthia Hagley the admission price. "I was not - - - - - - - - - - - - - - < > only admitted to the game, but also given a seat in the press box while my fellow Wilkes students sat in LIBRARY HOURS the rain."

Season's Greetings The Beacon staff would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. As we near the celebration of this joyous season, let us all recall to mind these words from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol - "I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round ... as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, ...

Cynthia recalled several other interesting incidents as a Beacon reporter: acting as lady-in-waiting to the Homecoming court for two years; covering the Richard Nixon rally on Public Square during the presidential election campaign; and doing a last minute story on the NBC coverage of Wilkes College. Our news editor has also had experience in fields other than journalism. She has been a Sunday school teacher at the Albright Evangelical Brethren Church for three years, is presently a student assistant in the library, has worked in the Public Relations office of the College, and in her first job away from home was a cooking instructor at Pine Forest camp near Lake Wallenpaupack. "One of the most important activities that I feel I have been involved in during my years at the college is the formulation of Associated Women Students on campus. I was honored when the founding committee elected me president pro tempore at the end of last year. "AWS, I believe, can give a substantial contribution to the lives of all Wilkes coeds," Cythia continued. "Never have I been involved in an organization that was so enthusiastically accepted at its start. I can only hope and work toward the goal that A WS will develop to the potential that it displays on other campuses." When this reporter asked Cynthia, who incidentally was associate editor of the Manuscript in her sophomore year, how she managed to participate in such diverse activities while maintaining her scholastic standing, she answered, "I have often wondered if it would have been better for me to concentrate all my energies on getting better grades, but I have found that when I am most involved in extra-curricular activities I get my class work done with more regularity. "I suppose it is because, with more work to do, I budget my time and get down to business." Cynthia, as an elementary education major, said that she is in this field "not only because I love children and teaching, but also because I feel this is a very crucial and ex(continued on : page 3) �wn.n:s Friday, December 15, 1961 COLLEGE BEACON Court of Appeals Presents First Decision . of The Year Popular Bookstore Manager Recalls Many College Experiences "Millie the Mole," "Mother Superior," and "Honorary Letterman" are titles which can be applied to the well-known college bookstore manager, Millie Gittins. Millie will celebrate her eighteenth year at Wilkes College next March 15. She received her title of "Millie the Mole" from Dr. Charles Reif. Dr. Reif told his class to go to the bookstore to "Millie the Mole" to buy their biology filler. They did so and the name has stuck ever since. Board of Trustees Lend Varied Experience To College Leadership A broad variety of interests and backgrounds characterize the officers of the Board of Trustees of Wilkes College. These men, both local and out-of-town residents, represent careers ranging from chairman of the board of a philanthropic institution to a retired Admiral of the United States Navy. Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Admiral Harold R. Stark is a retired United States Naval officer with an impressive past record of service to his country. A resident of Washington, D.C., the Admiral is a former commander of the European fleet during World War II and a former chief of Naval Operations. That his services were valuable is evidenced by the fact that he was kept on duty beyond retirement age at the request of Winston Churchill. Dr. Arnaud C. Marts, vice-chairman of the board, has had experience in the fields of education, business, civic service, and writing. At present, Dr. Marts is chairman of the Board of Marts and Lundy, Inc., one of the oldest and best known fund-raising firms in the nation. Miss Mildred Gittins More bewildering is the nickname, "Mother Superior." It was bestowed upon her by the male chorus when it was under the direction of Bill Peters, '59 and '60. There was a warm relationship that existed between the male chorus and Millie. Housemother to a college distribute copies of the Beacon around campus, and to transport football equipment to the athletic field. Millie says she adores the students at Wilkes and feels that they are wonderful. Millie was informed that at the age of 25 she would no longer be able to walk. However, one can see that it was not true. Millie credits this fact to her job and the students who have kept her going. Her sentiments concerning her job and her feelings for the students can be found in this quote, "If it had not been for this job, I would have sat down and died." When asked how she became an "Honorary Letterman", Millie explained that she had been active w h e n e v e r the Lettermen had dances, especially the Christmas Formal. At this dance, Millie sold tickets and pinned on the rosebuds which the girls received. In 1947, Millie's name appeared on the program of the Formal as "Millie GitThe students of Wilkes certainly tins, Honorary Letterman". She stated that the athletes are wonder- do keep her going.

Although a resident of New York, Dr. Marts has a special interest in Wilkes College. Bucknell University founded Wilkes as a junior college in Wilkes-Barre and Dr. Marts, who served as president of Bucknell from 1935-1945, inherited the problem of formulating permanent plans for this center of learning. Since he devoted so much time and energy to this problem, he became intimately involved in the progress and development of Wilkes. In his capacity as author, Dr. Marts has written Philanthropy's Role in Civilization and Man's Concern for His Fellow Man. A local attorney with a wealth of community interests, Charles H. Miner, Jr., is secretary of the board. Besides serving as Director of the Miner-Hillard Milling Co., Attorney Miner is a Director of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Industrial Fund, Chairman of the Community United Fund, a Vestryman of St. Stephen's Church, and past President of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce. An associate of Attorney Miner in the law firm of James, Harris, McLean, Silverblatt, and Miner, Attorney James P. Harris is treasurer of the board. Attorney Harris has both business and community affiliations, including his posts as a Director of First National Bank of WilkesBarre, Harris Hardware Company, and the Forty Fort State Bank and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Y.W.C.A. Andrew J. Sordoni, former United States Senator, 1926-1938, Secretary of Commerce of Penna., 1951-1954 and a prominent industrialist of Wyoming Valley, serves as vice-chairman of the board. Reflecting his varied business interests, Senator Sordoni is the founder and president of A. J. Sordoni Foundation, Chairman of the Board of the Sordoni Construction Company, President of the American Automobile Association, Trustee of Bucknell University and is also affiliated with the Commonwealth Telephone Company, Sterling Hotel System, Harveys Lake Light Company, and the Sterling Manufacturing Company. Court Decides Solons Erred In Chemistry Club Reimbursement Monday evening's special Student Government meeting saw Jerome Krasa, chairman of the Court of Appeals, hand down the decision of the Court in the case of the Chemistry Club vs. Student Government. The Court, in a unanimous opinion, held that the Student Government "acted outside the scope of its constitutional powers" in making a reimbursement of $47.50 to the Chemistry Club. The Court also found that an additional reimbursement of $125 asked for by the Chemistry Club would be outside the provisions of the Student Government Constitution. Krasa, in explaining the Court's decision, recalled that the case arose out of a Friday night dance date deficit of $47.50. The Chemistry Club alleges that the loss was sustained because of the interference of an unauthorized, offcampus activity, which they cont end, was held on the same Friday evening as the one granted them by the Student Government. Claiming that the Student Government is the authorized agent of the student body, the Chemistry Club petitioned the solons not only to accept the responsibility for the loss sustained, but also to reimburse them for the expected profit from the dance. The Student Government, after considering the Chemistry Club's petition, decided to reimburse the · club for the loss it sustained in the dance failure, but, at the same time, refused to reimburse the club for its expected profit.

College Adds Logic Course To All Degree Programs Major change in this year's curriculum at Loras College is the addition of logic as a requirement for both B.A. and B.S. degrees. Ethics, which was formerly required of all juniors, will now be required of ecclesiastical students only. Logic will no longer apply to the 24 hours required for a major in philosophy, and both logic and general ethics will be offefed each semester, effective with this year's junior class. �WlLIES OOLI.BlE BEACON KAMPUS KAMERA Christmas at Home and Abroad The holiday season, which is now upon us, has various meanings to nearly every American. It is a religious observance as well as a period of merry-making and secular festivities. It is a time of the year which is steeped in tradition, rich in sentiment, and mingled with feelings of reverance and materialism. We as Americans have observed our holidays year after year, taking them for granted, until many of us can no longer evaluate the significance of their observance. Therefore, The Beacon has asked four of the college's students, who come from lands across both oceans, to evaluate, to compare, or to contrast the American Christmas and New Year's season with similar holidays in their own countries. Pericles Spyropolous, a native of Platy, Calarnata, Greece, is a member of the Greek Orthodox Church. Perry, as he is known on campus, is a 23-year-old senior psychology major who has spent five holiday seasons in the United States. He observed that in America these holidays have more commercial significance than in Greece. According to Perry, the Greeks celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ and there is more emphasis placed on the religious aspects of the holiday. Perry attributes this to the fact that in America there are so many religious sects and thus a more liberal outlook than in Greece where seven out of eight million people adhere to the Greek Orthodox faith and the Church has a greater influence. Perry also remarked that "Christmas trees are not too common but that nearly every home displays religious pictures and a decorated oil lamp chandelier. Hornes are not bedecked along the streets. "We do have parties and social affairs but not to as great an extent as you," he suggested. "Gift giving does occur, but, again, it is on a smaller scale and Saint Basil, the Greek counterpart of Santa Claus, comes on New Year's Eve to bring gifts to good children and to bless the family and the home for the forthcoming year." Sonjo Shoyinka, whose home is in Abeokuta, Nigeria, is 28 years old and is a junior economics major. Sonjo has been in the United States for four years, two of which he has spent at Wilkes. Raised as a Christian (Baptist) in a country that has a population divided into three religious groups - 40 per cent Christian, 50 per cent Moslem, and 10 per cent classified as others - Sonjo has observed that there is much similarity between the way his country celebrates and the way we do. He pointed out that both have been influenced by British traditions. "In Nigeria, Christmas and New Year's have become more or less national holidays which are celebrated by the Moslerns and pagans who participate in the socializing even though they do not accept the religious significance." "Christmas Day is usually observed (by the Christians) by going to church and praying, by staying at home for a dinner of fowl, or by going to the beach and relaxing in the warm tropical sun." According to Sonjo, Christmas songs are sung by groups and played over the radio stations in both English and the native languages, and Father Christmas may make an appearance with gifts for the children. Jnghae Kirn, of PoHang, Korea, is a sophomore who is enrolled in the Commerce and Finance curriculum and is majoring in Business Administration. "Kim", as he is known by his fellow students, came to Wilkes nearly two years ago after serving for a number of years as an officer in the army of the Republic of Korea. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church. "I have spent only one Christmas in this country and I cannot tell whether or not the people have the real Christmas spirit that they should have," Kirn remarked. "With all the luxurious Christmas a ctivities it seems more like a national holiday to all people rather than a church festival for people who believe in Christ and wish to observe his birthday." Kirn continued by saying that "In Korea only the Christian population celebrate the holiday and there is no particular way to celebrate. It depends on how the person feels in his heart." Although there are no elaborate decorations in the stores or homes, some may use a small pine tree or a wreath to add to the festivities. Santa Claus Halapuji, as he is called by Korean children, is expected to make an appearance on Christmas Day. Halapuji means grandfather in the Korean language and he is affectionately referred to by all three names, obviously becuse of his elderly appearance. Eliud Wechira Kabungo, a citizen of Nyeri, Kenya, is a 27-year-old Business Administration major. He has been in the United States for 14 months and is now a sophomore at the college. Eliud has been schooled as both a Catholic and Protestant and refers to himself as a non-denominational Christian. Eliud said that he was amazed by all the fabulous decorations, lights, and trees which are only found in the very large cities of Kenya, such as Nairobi. Flowers are plentiful and they are used extensively in the streets and homes. He also observed that the preparation for the holiday season begins very early in the United States as compared to the ten days of preparation in his country. During these ten days the decorations are put up and the singing of carols is common. "In a country which has only a 40 per cent Christian population (the remaining 60 per cent of the population adhere to the Moslem or other local religions) nearly everyone knows what the holiday is and participates in the celebration of it. The government has even proclaimed "Siku Kuu" (meaning "great day" in Swahili) as a national holiday. It is a day of rest and enjoyment which is eagerly anticipated by the whole country. The customs have caught on quite fast for everyone, but the Christians do regard it as a holy day and they do have services. We have adopted many of the western ways from the British." Eliud concluded with a comment that because Kenya is located in the southern hemisphere the holiday season comes during the summer and naturally there is no such thing as a "White Christmas". Friday, December 15, 1961 "College Challenge", Sunday TV Program, Brings College Aims and Views lo Community One of the many ways the college keeps in contact with the community is through its bi-monthly Sunday afternoon program on Channel 16. The program, in its second successful year, is televised from 1-1:30 p.m. Two basic aims of the program are to inform area residents of the role of the college in the community and to encourage students to make their education a living experience. Through television which reaches a wider audience than other media, the program emphasizes the role education, a basic thread of the fabric of society, plays in the development of a free culture. In addition, the program focuses attention on the importance of the freedom of inquiry. This program, which is not restricted in either ideas or subject matter, gives parents and other members of the community the opportunity to critically examine the college, its goals, and the role of its students. In addition, students and faculty members are able to analyze and discuss contemporary and pertinent ideas of a varied nature. In the past, programs have featured Mayor Frank Slattery of WilkesBarre, the Industrial Fund Committee, and high school teachers. Mr. Alfred Groh, the program's moderator, after consultation with Dr. Farley, members of the faculty, and student leaders, determines the nature of the programs. The students who appear on the programs are selected because of their interest in the topic under discussion. The varied program formats develop from student interests, faculty suggestions, and campus activities. Program time is donated by Station WNEP-TV as a public service in compliance with requirements of the Federal Communications Commission. The Wilkes program alternates with a similar program presented by the University of Scranton. AWS Recognized by Student Government; Fashion Show Planned Mr. Alfred Groh Last year, Groh prepared the entire series before the first program was presented; this year, however, he prepares only two or three programs in advance. Each program is the result of from two or three weeks preparation. This year the format of the show is more flexible and gives the college personnel a greater opportunity to appear on the program. For instance, this week Mr. Groh and Dr. Stanko Vujica will discuss Dr. Vujica's recent experiences in Asia. This program will emphasize the need for the development of an awareness of the thoughts and customs of emerging groups in Asia. This subject, as the other topics presented, is of general knowledge; yet it is directed toward an audience with a knowledge of the subject. The conversation of each program is spontaneous, but Mr. Groh does familiarize himself with the subject and meets the other participants before broadcast time to determine the scope of the program. This is in keeping with the spirit of the programs which is to be both educational and entertaining. Mr. Groh's introduction and closing is written and timed, but the rest of the program is unrehearsed. None of the participants know what questions will be asked on the •program, although similar questions have been raised in the pre-program meetings. The program attracts a wide audience which has indicated that the program is valuable and deepens their appreciation of the college's goals. In addition to Groh's bi-monthly program, 'Pop' Clewell of the Public Relations Office conducts the local five minute segment of the 'Today' show called the 'Wilkes College Capsule'. This is the first year Clewell has conducted the program for the college. As the Sunday program, Clewell's 'Capsule' program, seen every Tuesday morning at 8 :25 a.m., not only keeps the community informed of college activities, but is also a public service feature for other organizations who want to spread information through the community. The program often introduces members of various student organizations and highlights college special events. The 'Capsule' program is flexible and the format varies from general topics of interest to conversations with students and other figures of interest. Clewell plans and carries out the program, which features the role of the college in community growth. The content of the program, of course, depends upon current happenings at the college and iR the community before the show is televised, because of the shortness of the program, Clewell discusses the topic with the guests who will appear. Channel 28 donates time to the college as a public service and cooperates in carrying out the program. Labor-Management-Citizens Group Has Reduced Area Labor Friction To compile a list of the men and women of the college, members of administration and faculty, who are active community, state, and national leaders would be a seemingly endless task; similarly lengthy would be an enumeration of the area organizations these men and women have initiated and directed. Typical of these community organizations and their leaders is the Labor-Management-Citizens Committee and its executive director, Dr. Samuel A. Rosenberg, chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department at Wilkes. Although Associated W o m en Students is a fairly young organization, it has already made plans to do many worthwhile projects on the campus. A WS, of which all women students are members, has already sponsored a breakfast honoring Dr. Farley on the anniversary of his twenty-fifth year at Wilkes, and it has a full calendar of events Dr. Rosenberg, a Wilkes profesplanned for the future. sor since 1948, was one of the Recently, the Constitution of founders of the Committee whose A WS was voted on and passed by aim is first and foremost to rnediStudent Government, and A WS is ate disputes arising out of area now recognized as an on campus industrial relations. organization.

In the first year of its existence the Committee successfully rnediated six industrial disputes, and, last year, of 17 local labor disputes, the Committee successfully mediated 12 and, through its advice and counsel, assisted in resolving another. The members of the Committee, in assisting both management and national unions representing teamsters, carpenters, textile and garment workers, steel workers, and food employees, have had to be as completely impartial as is possible. That they have been successful in this area is evidenced by a recent case in which both parties felt that the Commit.tee's mediators were on their side! As the guiding force behind this impartiality, Dr. Rosenberg's success as a director and mediator can be seen in the letters of appreciation he has received from both labor and management representatives. In one letter, a management representative praised Dr. Rosenberg's " ... magnificent, competent, constructive assistance,'' and, still speaking of Dr. Rosenberg, went on to say that " ... it is a credit to the community . . . and the Com(continued on page 5) �Friday, ·December -15, 1961 s WILIES COLLF.GE BEACON Shulla Sisters Describe Life, Future As Identical Twins Four Classes Make Arrangements simple yet elo- For Next Semester's Activities "It's never 'I', it's always 'we'!" With this quent statement Loretta and Lorraine Shutta describe the sometimes joyful, sometimes frustrating life of being identical twins. Biologists tell us that whereas fraternal twins are no more similar than ordinary brothers and sisters, there is an irrevocable bond between identical twins, who have sprung up from the same "seed of life." This theory has, until recently, held true for Lorraine and Loretta. Lorraine and Loretta Shutta Both girls, enrolled in commercial curriculum at Newport Township High School and the business education curriculum at Wilkes, have the same taste in clothing - on occasion they have bought the same dress independent of each other, and admire the same men - a fact which they have always resolved peacefully. These coinciding interests, along with their common heritage, has brought them a warm, close relationship, not shared by the other three children of the Shutta household. As Loretta expresses it, "Often, upon revealing one of my thoughts to Lorraine, I discover that she has been thinking the same thing at the same time." ·Both agree that this aspect of having someone really understand how you feel is one of the joys of being a twin. There is such a striking resemblance between the girls that casual acquaintances find it difficult to tell them ·apart. They are often mistaken for each other. . Being identical is very handy at times, since they can stand-in for -each other at interviews and appointments, although as . Lorraine says "sometimes you have to ad lib furiously." But along with these comforting and amusing aspects of "twinship" comes a sometimes disturbing one. In the words of Loretta - " I strive vainly to establish my own individuality. I am a unique person with my own personality, desires, and goals and yet I find that most people consider Lorraine and I as one and the same. This is sometimes very frustrating." In their quest for individuality, the two girls have recently taken different paths. Lorraine has graciously given the Beacon a scoop with this first official announcement of her recent engagement to A. Francis Riofski, a Miners Mills native. Tentative plans for a summer wedding dominate Lorraine's life at the present time, although she intends to teach locally. Any free time she might have is usually spent with Frank with whom she enjoys movies, dances, picnics, excursions, and experimenting with new types of food. Loretta, on the other hand, who has worked with the law firm of James Hiscox and William A. Degillio for the past four years while attending Wilkes, has developed an avid interest in the field of criminal law. In her capacity as secretary to the above men, she has come into contact with the workings, the people, the . "challenge in presenting your case", and the "feeling of Can you tell them apart? elation upon success" of the legal profession. Her success in coping with the problems of the legal profession led to her recent appointment as a standing commissioner by Judge Frank L. Pinola. This will entail administering oaths and taking depositions in trials, causes, cases, motions, rules, petitions, and other matters that may be brought before the caurt and will involve Loretta even more deeply in the profession that she so enjoys. She rejects the idea that there is anything unsavory about the idea of criminal law and holds the firm belief of our courts that a man is innocent until proven guilty. When queried about the problem of a woman in what is predominantly a male profession, Loretta jokingly replied that the biggest problem she anticipated encountering was wielding large record books when doing title searches. But she does recognize the inherent danger of losing her femininity while searching for success in the legal profession. This ever-present problem she feels can be overcome with a little effort and thought. Although as you can see, Lorraine and Loretta have, of late, swerved from the path of similarity, they join once again on their high opinion of the Business Education Department of Wilkes College and contend that they have profited enormously from their relationships here. Senior Class The seniors have decided to donate equipment to the school for a portable language laboratory. The vote was taken after a lengthy discussion at the recent class meeting. Besides the laboratory equipment, there were two other main choices for the class to choose from. One was the suggestion to buy several portable microfilm projectors for the library. Another was to install a cauliphone in the library and a starter record collection. Other suggestions included: typewriters for the typing room of the library, a sixteen millimeter projector for Parrish Hall, two water fountains for the second and third floors of the library, and the down payment on a parking ramp. Bud Menaker presented the Student Government report. He explained the new policy of obtaining activities forms for any social event involving Wilkes students, whether it is closed or opened, on campus or off campus. Menaker polled the class to find out how many seniors would support a dry Winter Carnival and it was estimated that about onefourth signified support. He then discussed the possibility of extending library hours, and, by a show of hands, the class demonstrated their majority approval. Junior Class Brent O'Connell, junior class president, received word yesterday that due to scheduling difficulties, the Brothers Four will be unable to fulfill their concert date on March 31. The concert committee will meet soon to act on this latest development, and will keep class members informed on committee progress. Plans for the annual class dinnerdance were also discussed. Febru- Emmel, Kocher Take Test To Improve License Status Last week Richard Emmel and Dave Kocher, members of the Radio Club at Wilkes, took the Technician Class exam of the Federal Communications Commission. The boys are awaiting the results of the test. If Emmel and Kocher pass the exam, they will receive a license which will enable them to broadcast by using higher frequencies. Novice exams are being given today for the unlicensed members of the Radio Club in the Radio room in Pickering Hall. Most members of the club will become licensed amateurs. ary 26 has been selected as the tentative date subject to approval by the Student Government cal endar committee. A future class meeting will provide more information on this affair. Paul Emmert reported that class rings would probably be received on Wednesday, December 13, and could be obtained from him during the rest of the week. After Friday, December 15, however, those who have not received their rings will have to get them from the Balfour Co. located on the sixth floor of the Miners National Bank Building in room 626. Sophomore Class Two upcoming activities of the sophomore class were discussed at a recent meeting. President James Jones announced that the Donkey Basketball Game is scheduled for March 15 but that no definite plans have yet been formulated for the game. Following this, the members of the class in attendance voted to hold a dinner-dance possibly at the end of April. Class officials are now in the process of selecting a suitable location for the affair. Following the example of the senior class the sophomores also made some long-range plans to conduct an assembly program next year. Freshman Class Recently the Wilkes College campus was ablaze with colorful and amusing posters as sixty or more nominees campaigned vigorously for offices in the Freshman class. Voting day arrived, and the candidates waited anxiously for the results to be posted on the bulletin board. Emerging victorious was Cathy DeAngelis, who fought a gallant battle for the office of president. She is the first girl to be elected president of her class at Wilkes.

The class donations amounted to $157. At a recent class meetin.,. the Constitution of the Class of 1965 was unanimously approved by the Freshman class. Also discussed was the selecting- of Class Historian, Pa_rliamentarian, and Executive Council. The president of the class announced that a paper would be placed on the bulletin board near the Commons, and anyone interested in serving on the Executive Council should sign there. From this list the council would be selected. A report was given on the Winter Carnival to be held on February 1. Also discussed were how many students would be interested in going and how many would be in favor of the Student Government hiring a bus for the Carni val? It was found that many of those planning to attend would prefer to have transportation furnished; rather than depending on private cars. Mike Mostello, Student Government Representative, also asked for suggestions as to where the Carnival could be held. I Playing for Pleasure Brings Gain To Three Men from Warner Hall Community¥ College Celebrate Dr. Farley's 25th Anniversary Recently Dr. Eugene S. Farley, President of Wilkes College, was honored by both the community and the student body on the anniversary of his twenty-fifth year of serving Wilkes. At nine o'clock in the morning of the day of the celebration, Dr. Farley was entertained at a breakfast in the Adams Room of the Hotel Sterling. This affair was sponsored by the Associated Women Students of Wilkes. Later that morning, the Wilkes College Band entertained Dr. Farley and his wife in front of their home with a medley of songs. At this time, Dr. Farley was presented with a scroll containing the names of students at Wilkes. Ed Rogalski presented this scroll to Dr. Farley on behalf of the student body. Highlighting the memorable day was a testimonial dinner for Dr. Farley at the Wilkes College Gym. The band played outside the gym to entertain members of the community attending this affair. Jesse Choper, a former graduate of Wilkes, was toastmaster of this aff air, and he presented Dr. Farley with a new Pontiac on behalf of the community for a job well-done.

Theta Delta Rho Party Recently residents of Carey Ave· nue, Sutton, Summit, and Franklin Con . alescent Homes were guests at ·a · Christmas Party held in their honor by Theta Delta Rho; Janet Ainsworth, Heather Daniels and the members of their de-' corating committee created a festive mood for the party by adorning McClintock Hall with appropriate greenery. Amid this festive setting John Sheehan, disguised as Santa Claus, distributed favors to each of the guests. The favors had been made by . Pat Ropetski and her committee. The Faculty Women of Wilkes were · present to help in the pouring of · tea. They were assisted in serving refreshments by Rowena Simms, Jean Mattern and other members of the refreshment committee. Entertainment included the singing of Christmas Carols by the Collegians and several piano selectfons by Mrs. Farley. . According to Jane Woolbert, general chairman of the affair, due to the efforts put forth by the members . of TDR and the Lettermen who provided the transportation, the party was enjoyed by all. Theta Delta Rho also held its annual Christmas buffet Wednesday ·e vening in the Commons for its members and invited guests. The Lettermen's Christmas Formal - A prelude to the holidays A Man's Christmas at Bennett Hall Lettermen's Formal The Lettermen added to the holiday gaiety by sponsoring the annual Christmas Formal last Friday evening in the gymnasium. In the make-believe atmosphere of a candy-cane heaven, couples whirled until midnight. They were received by members of the administration, faculty, and chairmen of the affair who are shown in the picture. Assembly Program Yesterday's assembly program featured selections by the college Chorus and the Madriagl Singers directed by Mr. Richard Chapline. They were accompanied by the Brass Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Larry Weed. The finale, with excerpts from "The Gloria" of the Puccini Mass, concluded a program of readings of the prophecies of the Old Testament interspersed with carols and selected Christmas music. A specially recorded album entitled "Christmas at Wilkes College" was released recently for sale on campus. The Madrigal Singers taped their favorite program of Christmas music last April. The album cover is a four-color scene of the Madrigals participating- in a carol sing. Students Carol Speaking of caroling, last evening students gathered to serenade dormitory residents, guests at the convalescent home of South Franklin Street, and Dr. and Mrs. Farley. After this caroling session, the students joined their fellow celebrants of the holiday season at the InterDormitory Council Christmas party in the Commons. They danced to the music of the Eddie Shore Quintet and were treated to free .refreshments. Spanish Club Plans Program THE DOZER • • • A little com is a good thing once In a while.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety warns that drowsiness and highway hypnosis are common problems to freeway drivers. As a safeguard, stop every 100 miles or so for a coffee break and a stretch. One of the new clubs on campus is the Spanish Club, which holds its meetings on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. in Chapman Hall. The faculty advisor is Mr. Jose Ribas who is a native of Spain. With the aid of a Fulbright Scholarship, Mr. Ribas has been living and teaching in the United States for approximately two years. At the past meetings the members have had informal discussions in Spanish, about such things as hazing and Homecoming at Wilkes. Also, Mr. Ribas has led some discussions about the customs and politics of his native land. To plan a program for each meeting, a committee of five people has been appointed. A sweet entrance to holiday happiness - McClintock Hall Christmas at Weckesser Hall Jaycee Party The college chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce has .invited Santa to a party for the · underprivileged children of the area tonight.

Advice Given on Final Touches for Mistletoe Season �Friday, December 15, 1961 WILXES COLLEGE BEACON 7 Wilkes Open Provides Holiday Feature Outstanding Wrestlers Headline 'Rose Bowl', Past Champions Enter One of the country's feature wrestling attractions, the Wilkes College Open Wrestling Tournament, will take place for the 30th time on December 28 and 29 at the Wilkes College Gymnasium. A record turnout of 350 wrestlers is expected. An indication of the tournament's popularity is the fact that the 350 wrestlers hail from 65 universities, colleges, and athletic clubs and 24 different states. Such countries as Canada, Japan, Iran and Hungary are also represented. The nation's largest wrestling tournament will attract some of the most famous names in current amateur wrestling. Gray Simons, the 1962 NCAA 123 pound champion and outstanding wrestler, returns to this year's tourney as does the Pan American 147 pound champion, Frank Bettucci; the Middle Atlantic champ of the past three years at 177, Mike Pacilio; and the outstanding wrestler of last year's open, Carmen Malino. Other returning winners of last year's Wilkes tournament are Charles Bush at 115 and Ron Dellapina at 147. The Bruce Blackman Memorial honoring the late sports editor of Times-Leader Evening News who actively supported the open tournament and who was an avid wrestling fan will again be awarded to the outstanding wrestler. Four wrestling sessions will be divided over the two-day period including preliminaries, consolations and finals. A wrestling clinic was held for over 300 high school wrestlers by some of the nation's foremost wrestling coaches and a banquet are additional features of the tournament. HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING CLINC - Above are some scenes from last year's Wrestling Clinic for high school wrestlers. This event takes place each year in conjunction with the Wilkes Open Tournament. Ray Sparks, Director of Athletics at Springfield College in Massachusetts, is chairman of the event. He has announced that more than 300 high school matmen will attend, as invitations have been extended to schools throughout Pennsylvania. History of Wilkes Open Tourney Traces to Central YMCA Matches Wilkes College becomes the "center of the wrestling world" on December 28 and 29 as more than 350 of the nation's outstanding matmen vie for the ten individual championships of the Wilkes Open. Sixtyfive of the East's top teams will attempt to annex the coveted team trophy. Pitt, Michigan, and New York Athleic Club have saged a fierce battle for the title in the past five years with Pitt winning the honors in las year's Open. Two of the outstanding features of the tourney are the caliber and number of the competitors. The Wilkes Open is the largest wrestling tournament in the United States. Last year the competition drew 321 wrestlers from 65 colleges while the NCAA and NAIA "outstanding wrestler", Doug Blubaugh, 1960 Olympic champion and "outstanding wrestler", and 1959 NCAA "outstanding wrestler" Dave Auble typify the caliber of wrestlers found in the Open each year.

Much of the success of the Wilkes Open is due to the great job Dean George Ralston has done as general chairman of the tourney the past twelve years. Aiding Ralston on the general committee are John Chwalek, Arthur Hoover, John Reese, Cromwell Thomas, Bob Morris, John Whitby, Bill Jervis, Francis Pinkowski and Dr. Hugo Mailey....

Each year the tqurnament has grown until it has reached its present status as the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling", the finest wrestling tourney in the United States. The college and post-college wrestlers use the tourney as a training ground for the Olympics. Furthermore, it is used as a training ground for some of the nation's top wrestling officials who contribute their services as do the officials and timers.

Doubleheader �WIL1CFS COLLEGE BEACON 8 Friday, December 15, 1961 Colonel Cagers Drop Two Games Ithaca, Scranton Top Colonels In the Week's Basketball Games The Colonel cagers took it on the chin twice last week as they faltered from a lack of height and dropped games to Ithaca and Scranton. The squad had to play without Dick Morgan in both contests and showed the lack of an experienced bench as the team was worn down by their taller opponents and then had a fresh squad of "road-runners" put in against them. A combination of Harvey Rosen and John Moore kept the Colonels in the game against the Bombers. Rosen continued his scoring with a 22 point outburst while Moore came to life against opponents who towered over him by five inches and dropped in 21 counters. Moore carried the club in the first half with 16 points while Rosen took up the slack in the second half with 16 counters. Bob Fleming continued to impress Colonel partisans with his topnotch work on offense. Against Ithaca he dunked five straight baskets. to keep his team in contention. Joe McAndrew and Tom Pugh carried the brunt of Wilkes' defensive load with their rebounding and ball-hawking tactics. Dave Lieb looked like a real comer with his ball-handling and sharp jump-shot in his brief entrance in the game. The University of S c ran ton Royals ruined the Wilkes College basketball debut by fashioning a 91-82 victory over the Colonels. This was the fourth consecutive loss for the Wilkesmen but the last three were heartbreakers as the Colonels had to overcome · a definite height disadvantage in all the games. The story was the same in this game as the Wilkesmen were shorter than the Royals by more than five inches per man. This disadvantage had to be overcome with hustle and good play. The Colonels fell behind in the opening minutes as Tom Foley hit on three baskets for a 10-4 margin. The height advantage played an important bit in this period as the Royals got three and four shots on each basket while the Colonels were forced to hit on their first shot. Midway in the initial quarter the Colonels cut the margin to five points before Bud Cooper led a Royal spurt with two buckets. Halftime score found the Royals Rosen scores against Royals leading, 44-36.

Faculty Five, Shawneeites Win lnlramural Basketball Openers Intramural basketball made its 1961-62 debut at Wilkes on Monday evening with the hoopsters playing six contests. Pre-season favorites Butler Hall and Gore Hall captured opening rounds in the dorm league. The Faculty Five opened their campaign with a cliff-hanging win over the Jets, while the Playboys and Shawneeites knotted their opening victories. Butler Hall ran roughshod over Warner Hall, 64-30. Ted TravisBey and Joe KrKuczek led the Butlermen with 19 and 16 point outbursts. Ron Musselman and Erwin Guetig controlled the backboards at the taller "Hoovermen" won with ease. Borick led Warner with 19 points while Roger Rolfe added eight. A smooth-moving Gore team made good use of their experience in dumping Barre, 63-30. Larry Gubanich led the Goremen with 12 points while Al Gubanich and Paul Aquilino added 11 each. John Adams played the rebounding role for the victors as coach Dick Morgan emptied his bench early in the game. Douglas led Barre with 16 points. • •• Hollenback Hall, laboring without Jerry Mohn, won their opener over Ashley, 34-22.

Karmilowicz led the scorers with 16 points as John Tensa and Matt Himlin each added 10 points to the cause. Barry Bryant and George Tensa combined for 16 points while producing the rebounding power for the victors. Phil Zackery led the Heads with 13 points as Foy added 12 to their cause. The Faculty Five had their hands full with the Jets before putting on a late spurt to mold a 31-26 win. Jim Ferris was the outstanding player on the floor as he put 10 goals and a foul through the hoop for a 21 point evening. Mike Dydo scored seven points in the winning cause. "Jazz John" Lore threw in five goals to lead the Jets while Ron Grohowski scored six points. Top defensive play by Marv Antinnes and Len Kibildis highlighted the play.

The two veterans are Brooke Yeager and Ted Toluba. Yeager was outstanding wrestler in last year's MAC tourney while winning the 123 pound title. Toluba was 167-pound champion two years ago and took third in the tourney last year in the 167-pound class. One spot giving Coach Reese trouble is the heavyweight division. So far, the berth is wide open and anyone who can handle the chore will be received with open arms, or should we say grappling hooks? The 130-pound entry will be Dave Puerta, a scrappy sophomore who got into varsity action last year before Dick Stauffer returned to the mat wars. Ron Henney, former Meyers grappler, will carry the Colonel hopes in the 137-pound class. Freshman Bob Ziegler will be in the 167-pound slot and Coach Reese hopes the former Allentown matman can take up where Marty Strayer left off. Bob Ainsworth will carry the 177-pound hopes if he recovers from his multiple injuries in time. While Wilkes will rely on newcomers to carry their cause, the C. W. Post matmen will be full of veterans. This will be the fourth meet for the Pioneers while the Colonels will go to the mats for the first time this season. Leading the Pioneers will be Metropolitan Champions Mike Spetko and Gene Niedzielski. Both are juniors and seem to give Post the strongest heavyweights in the East. The lightweights are not definite as they have depth two deep in each weight class. The Pioneers have been battling for top rating in the East and a win over the Colonels would put them on top.

In view of the team's performances in the initial contests of the season, the above assertion becomes an absurd understatement. A number of factors enter into this basketball degeneracy. Already suffering from a lack of height and bench strength, the team has now suffered the loss of guard Dick Morgan through injury. Last Thursday in a practice scrimmage, Dick sustained a reinjury of a soccer wound. His left kneecap snapped out of joint and caused the rupture of fluid cavities in the knee. This condition is aggravated by calcium deposits in the same joint. Dick will be lost to the team for an indefinite period of time and as of this writing he has not yet received all of the medical reports. Dick's failure to appear in uniform has already had a marked effect on the team's play. Morgan was team floor leader and the best playmaker on the roster. He performed exceptionally well in the Albright game as he held Little All-American Tom Pearsal to 13 points and scored 12 tallies himself. His fiery play and determined spirit tends to inspire the Colonel five. His presence on the court has driven the team to performances beyond those which may be expected from players of their physical potentialities. 'All-American' Honors Accorded Jim Brunza, Senior Colonel Guard National recognition has been accorded Wilkes College in the selection of James Brunza to the second team of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Little All-American football squad. The players nominated to this all-star aggregation are selected from the 325 NAIA-affiliated small colleges throughout the nation. Jim was named as a tackle on the offensive second team, as both offensive and defensive units are chosen. The fact that member schools are authorized to use free substitution has brought about the selection of separate offensive and defensive units. The players are nominated by NAIA coaches and cross-checked with the selections of coaches of teams opposing the particular player during the season. The week to week performances of Jim may not be termed spectacular, but he played steady, aggressive football, while not attracting the attention of the fans. A right tackle, the 5'11", 200 pound Kingston High School graduate however has received much attention from the sports writers who follow the small college contests. As a result of this he was named to the ECAC Team of the Week on several occasions. 9 Experls Predicl Bowl Oulcomes, Choose Georgia Tech Over Lions This week the Sports Staff departs from its usual conservative position and ventures to predict its outcome of the major college bowl games. For this astounding feat of mysticism and wizardry we selected a board of experts in the field of college football from among the faculty and student body. These people collaborated with us in arriving at our predictions. The participating prognosticators were Steve Phillips, eminent football scholar and historian; . Barry Bryant, outstanding Plymouth dart shooter; Tom Pugh, a member of the champion intramural jaialai team; Arthur Hoover, sports publicity director and fan; Fran Mikolanis, bartender; Barbara Lore, girl; and Mary Fran Barone, another girl. The Beacon Sports Department, composed of George Tensa, Dale Jones, and Jim Jackiewicz, rounds out the lfst of experts. It is quite evident that, by virtue of their apparent qualifications, this group is splendidly equipped to forecast the outcome of the bowl games. · The first contest we considered is to.m orrow's Bluebonnet Bowl, which pits the Owls of Rice Institute against the Jayhawks of l(ansas University. This match figures to be a wide-open affair as both teams are capable of generating powerful offensive threats. However the running of Kansas speedsters John Hadl and Bert Coan should prove to be too much for the Owl defense. We pick Kansas to beat Rice, 26-i0. Another major game to be played tomorrow finds the Orangemen of Syracuse University host to the University of Miami Hurricanes in the Liberty Bowl at Philadelphia. After considering the capabilities of both elevens, we come up with Syracuse topping the Hurricanes in the cold of Philadelphia. The quarterback-end combination of Mira and Miller will not be enough to overcome the spectacular running of Heisman trophy winner Ernie Davis. Syracuse will crush Miami, 20-7. In the Gator Bowl game which is to be played at Jacksonville, Florida, the Georgia Tech Engineers will best the Nittany Lions of Penn State. Tech's defense has been superb all season as they allowed only 43 points in nine games and they did not allow more than one touchdown in any game. The place-kicking of Don Jonas might keep State in the game. Georgia Tech will stop Penn State, 14-10. Next we turn to the New Year's Day classics. The Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Texas finds the University of Texas clashing with the Mississippi Rebels. Coach Johnny Vaught's Rebels will find it difficult to overcome the high-scoring 'fexas team led by All-American halfback Jimmy Saxton. In a wild game Texas will outscore Mississippi, 34-26. The Sugar Bowl contest will match University of Alabama's Crimtopson Tide with the University of Arkansas Razorbacks. Boasting the top defense in the nation Coach Bear Bryant's tide will stymie the flashy running of Arkansas' Lance Alworth. The Alabama offensive machine has produced lopsided victories for the tide all season. Alabama will blast the Razorbacks, 27-12. Miami, Florida will be the scene of the Orange Bowl game. The University of Colorado's Buffaloes will collide with Paul Dietzel's LSU Tigers. Louisiana State has a formidable defensive squad and should stop the Buff attack. Although Colorado will display the talent of their two All-Americans, end Jerry Hillebrand and tackle Joe Romig, they will succumb to the Tigers, 17-7. The Rose Bowl game in Pasadena, California provides us with our final remarkable prediction. In this classic the Gophers of the University of Minnesota invade the lair of the UCLA Bruins. The Gophers will be eager to reverse last year's loss to the University of Washington in the Rose Bowl. Led by All-American quarterback Sandy Stephens, Minnesota will defeat the U clans, 20-8. These forecasts have been made by means of voluminous research, mathematical formulas of a staggering magnitude, and guessing. Besides these methods of prediction we also read the Beacon with unerring regularity. Perhaps his finest effort of the season was against the Bears of Ursinus College. In this contest Jim appeared always to be on hand to smash down any Bear ballcarrier who tried to breach the tough Wilkes line.

He is the general of the Wilkes forces. Rebounding has been the major weakness of the team. This deficiency, most assuredly, does not stem from lack of hustle on the part of the team members.

Another striking team inadequacy is the lack of experienced players in reserve. The starting five players have been forced to assume a staggering amount of responsibility. They must play, by far, the major portion of each contest. This will, in time, lead to fatigue and perhaps inefficiency. A strong bench is essential to any team and this shortcoming is proving costly to the Colonels.

Students will have the advantage of seeing the celebrated Actor-Pantomimist, Harry Barton at the Assembly Program on January 11. Pantomime is one of the oldest, seldom seen, and least known of the Theater Arts. Harry Barton has undoubtedly had an experienced background in the art of pure motion. He studied dramatic theory at Xaviery University; characterization and recital technique with J. Bradley Griffin, Chicago, Illinois, and dancing with Ivan Fehnova, formerly of the Imperial Ballet at Petrograd. For the past four years, he has been an active member of the Uptown Players of Chicago. He also is a member of the Show Folks of America, The International Platform Association, and the American National Theater and Academy. Harry Barton's Pantomime is the only work of its kind in America today, and it is well known from coast to coast. In his work, Mr. Barton has borrowed from the F r e n c h, Italian, and Russian schools. From the French, he has borrowed the curve as the basic pattern of pantomime movement. Many of the stock characterizations which were the making of the "Comedia d'el Arte" have been borrowed from the Italian school of pantomime. From the Russians, M.r. Barton has taken symbolism in color, such as the white scull cap for romance and abstraction, the red for comedy, and the black for tragedy and despair. With his galaxy of caricatures and sketches, 1\'lr. Barton, playing many parts, will enfold the story of drama in its entirety. It is certainly worth seeing a pantomimist change from a comedian to a satirist and then to a king of tragedy on stage all within a relatively short period of time. •*********************** Look Your Best •..

Unknown to most students and new faculty members, there is another Wilkes College campus. This one, however, is reduced to miniature and located on the third floor of Sturdevant Hall, packed away in boxes. But this inner campus did not always lead such a secluded life.

Originally scheduled for a three day run, an enthusiastic audience requested an extension of its engagement to two weeks. But what exactly is this campus within a campus? According to its creator, Mr. Stanley Wasilewski of the Mathematics Department, it is a scale model of the Wilkes College campus consisting of a nine by sixteen foot platform on which are constructed 3 0 buildings which comprised the campus at the time of the model's construction. Parrish Hall and the buildings acquired since 1959 are not included in the model because of the time required to construct the buildings. This is because each building is made of poster paper, shaped in proportion to the original buildings and to the other buildings in the scale model. Each building is so constructed that it can easily be identified as a replica of the original building. Mr. Wasilewski commented that he determined the success of his efforts by having his son, now a freshman at Wilkes, identif y the buildings. The campus is represented down to the last details ; walls, fences, trees, street lights, and even the white furniture on the lawn of Chase Hall. Although the college is continuing to add properties and the model falls one behind with every new addition, the model is a valuable record of the growth of Wilkes and should be carefully preserved for future reference. .....................

Morgan, tomorrow evening between the wrestling meet and the basketball game at the gym. George obtained this honor by virtue of a voluntary poll of the administration, faculty, and friends of the College. The poll was conducted under the auspices of the Sports Publicity Office, Arthur Hoover, director, and the Beacon Sports Department, George Tensa, sports editor. George Morgan - "Outstanding Colonel Cager" Morgan graduated from Wilkes in 1958, with a B.S. degree in Business Administration, leaving behind him a series of notable records. George enjoyed his finest season during the 1956-57 campaign. During that year he poured in 514 points for an all-time single-season Wilkes record. The significance of this feat becomes more striking when one considers that he also had a 57 per cent field goal average. The 6'4" center, in addition to his offensive capabilities, possessed outstanding defensive skills, as he averaged 16 rebounds per game. In national small college rankings for 1957, George placed ninth in total scoring and tenth in field goal percentage. For his performance during .that season he was DEBATE TOURNEY TODAY AT KING'S The Wilkes College Debating Society, under the direction of Dr. Arthur N.

The Senior class gift committee has completed preliminary plans for obtaining a college language laboratory. President Joseph Shambe announced that the Administration has agreed to match the gift fund provided by the Seniors, thus enabling the class to present enough equipment to accommodate 21 students at one time. Shambe wants to extend his personal thanks as well as the appreciation of the class to both the Administration and members of the Language Department for their efforts in making possible an additional monetary grant necessary for the purchase of the equipment. He further said that the equipment " will be ordered by the end of this week, and that the language equipment may be available for use on an experimental basis this semester. Shambe also announced that Mr. Gordon Roberts, Alumni Secretary, will distribute copies of the Alumnus to all seniors once a month at compulsory class meetings. The first issue will be given to the Seniors at their meeting later this month. Later in the semester, the class has proposed both a dinner dance and a class outing. At this time, plans for these affairs are tentative and will be completed as the semester progresses. 1a:e~~catote!~.

Oueen to Be Selected Tonight At TDR Valentine Formal by Barbara A. Lore A quickening pulse beat, fluttery feeling in the stomach, beads of perspiration on the forehead, flooding of the face with color - these are the emotions experienced by every red-blooded coed on Wilkes campus when the talk turns to the vital question of "Who will reign tonight as queen of Heart Wonderland, the Theta Delta Rho Valentine formal?" Unfortunately for the emotional quietude of the fair sex on campus, this is a question which cannot be resolved immediately. Not until intermission time when "chance" guides the hand of Mrs. Gertrude Doane, Dean of Women, toward the winning ticket stub will the tension be relaxed and both joy and momentary disappointment abound. The chosen daughter of fate will receive a sterling silver bracelet with a sterling silver heart charm - one side of which will be inscribed" TDR Queen 1962" and the other side vacant awaiting the inscription of her name. A bouquet of pink carnations and porn porns will grace the arm of her majesty while a tiara will adorn her fair head. After her crowning by Barbara Piledggi, president of TDR, the queen will distribute among her subjects, favors prepared under the guiding hands of Jeanne Mattern and Rowena Simms. When the excitement subsides, the guests will resume dancing to the music of Herbie Green and his orchestra, who will play before a gigantic heart backdrop created by Ruth Boorom. Her majesty will reign over a wonderland of hearts and color as a result of the efforts of Jane Woolbert and Janet Ainsworth, chairmen of the decorating committee.

So said Cathy DeAngelis, class president, as she recently detailed some of her class's activities. The "rather unusual activity," still in ·the planning stage, is a 12act comedy series titled "A Town Show."

Tips to Keep Your Face Looking Its Best With Natural Glow �WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 9, 1962 Reed and Barton Offer Awards For Ten Best Table Designs During the months of February and March, Reed & Barton, America's oldest major silversmith, are conducting a "Silver Opinion Competition" in which valuable scholarship awards totalling $2050 are being offered to duly enrolled women students at a few selected colleges and universities. Wilkes College has been selected to enter this Competition in which the First Grand Award is a $500 cash scholarship; Second Grand Award is a $300 scholarship; Third Grand Award is a $250 scholarship; Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Awards are $200 scholarships; and Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth are $100 scholarships. In addition, fine china and crystal with a retail value of approximately $50.00 will be awarded as prizes. In the "Silver Opinion Competition", an entry form illustrates twelve designs of sterling with nine designs of both china and crystal. (Entrant simply lists what he considers the six best combinations of these to match certain design periods.) Awards will be made to those entries matching or coming closest to the unanimous selections of table-setting· editors from three of the nation's leading magazines. Maryann Wilson and Nancy Tinklepaugh are the Student Representatives who are conducting the "Silver Opinion Competition" for Reed & Barton at Wilkes College. Those interested in entering the "Silver Opinion Competition" should contact Maryann or Nancy for entry blanks and for complete details concerning the Competition rules. Both Maryann and Nancy have samples of 12 of the most popular Reed & Barton designs so that entrants can see how these sterling patterns actually look. Through the opinions on silver design expressed by college women competing for these scholarships, Reed & Barton hopes to compile a valuable library of expressions of young American taste. Jackets Are Required For Evening Meal in 'Caf' YMCA •offers Course In Senior Life Saving; Classes Start Monday The official announcement has come from the Inter-Dormitory Council with the backing of Dean George Ralston. From now on it will be necessary for every male dormitory student to wear a jacket if they want to eat dinner in the Commons. Dean Ralston stated at Tuesday's I.D.C. meeting that the students had made the rule in the first place, and secondly it was best for the decorum of the college. Girls are expected to follow suit. Also at this meeting, the representatives from the dormitories decided to meet at 5:15 p.m. instead of 5 :30 p.m., Tuesday on the second floor of the Commons. Trade Lecture Wednesday This Wednesday the League of Women Voters will sponsor a noon luncheon at Hotel Sterling. Guest speaker for the occasion will be Mr. Louis C. Grauthoff, a member of the Commission for a National Trade Policy, whose topic for discussion will be "United States and the Common Market." Tickets can be purchased at the Library from Mrs. Vujica at a cost of $1.85 per person. Mrs. Vujica has announced that those who are interested in only the lecture may join the group at 12:45 without cost. The Central YMCA, a member agency of . the United Fund, will hold a coed Senior Life Saving Course each Monday evening at 7 :30. Classes will be held ori Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 at the YW-YMCA building until 22 hours are completed. Men and women 16 years of age and over are invited to enroll in this class. Both YMCA. and Red Cross Life Saving Courses will be taught. Classes will consist of Approaches, Carries, Releases, Defensive Tactics, Lifts and Resuscitation. The course will end with a water and written test. To all people completing the course and passing the test will be given both YMCA and Red Cross certificates. This course would be beneficial to those people who are planning to seek summer or part time employment as Life Guards. The course is under the direction of Anthony J.

Further, to increase the Court's responsibility to the Student Government, the Solons deleted the phrase, " ... if contrary to that by the Student Government," from Article 7, Section 3, Paragraph 2. This change requires the Court to submit all its decisions to the Student Government. In the past, the Court had to submit only those decisions which were " ... contrary to those of the Student Government." The Solons concluded their official business in short order by imposing a $5 fine upon _the PsychSoc Club for its late submission of a February 10 activity form, approving activity forms for The Manuscript, Chapman Hall, and TDR, and submitting a Student Government budget report which showed an activities balance of $6,444.34 of a total budget of $15,200. Campus Comedy Reprint from The Reader's Digest A veritable gold mine of a business venture for college campuses seems to have been uncovered by a student at a Western university. Luckless and loveless coeds who wish to appear popular can rent a fraternity pin from a designated agent. The prices range from $2 to $10 dollars a week, depending upon the standing of the fraternity. One-half the fee goes to the owner of the pin, whose identity is kept secret. The other half is profit for the originator of the scheme. At last report, business was excellent. · Contributed by Dan Bennett * * * Campus Comedy Reprint from The Reader's Digest "I'm a bit nervous about being introduced," said Clarence Faust, vice-president of the Ford Foundation, at a conference at New York University. "Back in my native Iowa recently a toastmaster recited each step of my academic career, then added, 'A few years ago Dr. Faust took off his academic robes to don a foundation garment.' " Contributed by Leonard Lyons I I Weather, Snowy Hills Set Scene for Carnival Revised Edition It was a perfect winter setting of snow and ice. The air was just cold enough with an overcast sky. In short the right kind of day for winter sports at the college Winter Carnival. The three hundred students who took advantage of the weather found they had the Inn at Buckhill Falls practically to themselves. Only a few guests with red tags to designate them shared the skating, skiing, and sledding activities with the college group. The lodge was conveniently located with a snack bar filled with food and beverages to warm and refresh any student who took shelter there. Meanwhile back at the Inn, the card and game rooms were filled with Wilkes people seeking less strenuous activity. At 6 p.m., Convention Hall across from the Inn resounded with the music of Jack Melton's combo. Before long many semi-frozen but never-say-die students were dancing everything from the waltz to the tango, with an occasional twist thrown in. During intermission the Warner Trio entertained the crowd with some novel arrangements of folk singing and encouraged the audience to sing along. When departing time came, the students left slowly, exhausted, sore, and happy. Dinner-Dance Planned By Junior Class Date: February 24 The first major event of the Junior class for the spring semester will be the Dinner-Dance which will bEJ held on February 24. President Brent O'Connell announced that the Saturday evening affair will be held at the American Legion Post on North River Street. The Dinner-Dance will be open to all Juniors and their dates and will run from 8 :30 p.m. to midnight. A buffet supper will begin the evening and will be followed by dancing. Tickets are $4 per couple and must be purchased by February 19 to allow for suitable preparations to .be made. O'Connell also announced that committee members have been appointed to handle the various phases of planning necessary for the affair. Further plans for the class this semester are presently in a tenta- · tive state and will be explained more fully as they are formulated. ICG Plans Workshop, Visit to Courthouse The Intercollegiate Conference on Government kicks off its activities for the second semester with a tour of the County Courthouse on Tuesday. This tour will take the place of the regular meeting of the group next week. Members will leave from Pickering Hall at 11 and the ·tour will last until 1 p.m. On February 18, the group will hold a Workshop on campus, at which time members will submit bills for consideration. Each member, either· h1dividually or in cooperation_with another, is to present a bill at this time and members are reminded to begin work on their bills now. At the Workshop, the bills will be discussed and revised for presentation to the Wilkes Mock Assembly which will be held on February 25 in the Commons. The Mock Assembly is a preparation for the Assembly of ICG chapters throughout the state which will be held · on the first weekend in April in Harrisburg. Later in the semester, the ICG has scheduled a program for the college assembly and is presently arranging to obtain a speaker for the date. · 3 Practical Politics Arranged For Students Through Program Knowledge of the practical side of politics can be gained by interested students through a program of political internships being offered by the Pennsylvania Center for Education in Politics. This agency, formerly known as the Citizenship Clearing House, has openings for summer work which provide work in any of the three levels of American government: Federal. state, or local. Understanding Sectional Problems Is Goal of Universities' Program Two state universities have begun a North-South student exchange program as "an initial attack on the problem of provincialism in elementary education." The University of Massachusetts and Florida State University are the first participants in what the founders hope will be a national effort to promote understanding of sectional problems among teacher trainees. Two Florida students are now studying in the School of Education at the University of Massachusetts, and five of the latter's undergraduates are at the southern university. Both institutions have waived outof-state tuition requirements for the exchange students. According to the co-directors of the program, Prof. Vincent Rogers of the University of Massachusetts and Prof. Gifford Hale of Florida State, the program arose out of a conviction that the great majority of undergraduates majoring in elementary education are sorely in need of a personal and professional broadening experience prior to taking on classroom assignments. Dr. Rogers, in a recent interview, pointed out that the exchange is intended to give "considerably more than merely a sense of geographic contrast. Students in the program expect to be confronted with actual educational problems of a kind which, because of sectional differences, they might not find in their home areas." Music Faculty Procures Listening Library Students interested in the workings of the Federal government can obtain internships in the Washington offices of a number of Pennsylvania Congressmen, among them both of Pennsylvania's U.S. Senators. The internships available for state work provide openings in the respective party state committee headquarters in Harrisburg, while work on the county level is provided in the various county headquarters throughout the state. The latter type of internship requires work on the part of the student running through the general election in November, and, for this reason, is closed to students graduating in June of this year. The other types of internships are open to all college students. The internship program is not limited to students majoring in any specific academic field and is open to anyone interested in practical politics. Students selected for the internship program will be assigned to work with the political party of their preference. Pay scales will be graduated with the Washington interns receiving the highest compensation. Any student who cares to apply for the program may do so by seeing Professor Arthur J. Hoover for the necessary application forms. These applications must be returned no later than March 15. faculty hopes that the present facilities can be expanded and that many listening devices will be added for the convenience of the students. Mr. Robert Lovett, Chairman of the Music Department, pointed out that because of the space limitations at present the library would probably not be available for student use until September.

The mat action is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. with the Colonel cagers ending the twin-bill at 8:30 against Moravian. Leading the Marauder grapplers into the meet will be co-captains Stu Meyerson and Walt Koffmeyer. Koffmeyer, their 167-pound ace, has been undefeated in dual meet competition during his four years at Millersville, while Meyerson has only one setback on his record, this coming via an injury in the Waynesburg meet. In their earlier outings the Marauders lost close decisions to powerful Waynesburg and Bloomsburg. Against the Huskies an injury to the Millersville heavyweight spelled defeat in a 17-11 meet. Last Saturday evening at the Wilkes gymnasium, Coach Reese's matmen registered one of the alltime upsets in the annals of small college wrestling, in defeating Lycoming College, 17-12. The Colonels, who were behind by seven points at one stage of the meet, surprised the heavily favored Warrior squad by recording four consecutive decisions and a draw. For Lycoming, it was their first loss in nine meets and it marked the seventh time that the Colonels have bested the Williamsport aggregation. Brooke Yeager opened the meet before a large turnout, many of whom were Lycoming partisans, with an exciting decision over Lee Wolfe. Brooke used a reversal and a neutral in the last period to fashion the 6-4 victory. Ron Kroebel of Lycoming recorded a fall over Dave Puerta in 2 :46. During the action Dave struck his head on the mat, stunning him and causing the pin. In the 133-pound division Bill Kehrig maintained his undefeated record by pinning Ron Henney in 8:10. Ron wrestled well but he could not counter the superior speed of Kehrig, who used a cradle hold to chalk up the fall. The turning point in the meet, according to Coach Reese, was John Gardner 's decision win over Bill Guttermuth, who was previously undefeated and was also a winner in the Carlisle tourney. Gardner, who was not expected to win, turned in an outstanding performance in decisioning Guttermuth, 86. Coach Reese had nothing but praise for John and stated that his win inspired the remaining grapplers to come through with the upset. Bob Ziegler followed Gardner to the mat and shut out Bob Wayne of Lycoming, 7-0. Bob was in charge all the way. He employed several predicaments in posting the win. In the 167-pound class Ted Toluba turned in another convincing victory as he outclassed Art Orassion, 6-1. Ted was in constant command of his opponent throughout the match. Ted's win gave the Colonels a one-point lead at that point in the meet. One of the most exciting bouts of the evening was the 177-pound contest, in which Bob Ainsworth, this issue's "Athlete of the Week," turned in an impressive 11-4 verdict over Dave Forten. Bob came extremely close to pinning his opponent a number of times in rolling up his eleven counters. Bob has yet to be defeated this season. Faced with the necessity of avoiding a loss by a fall if the Colonels Buy a SPORTS GIFT for Christmas SHOP AT LEWIS - DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER 11 E.

The aggregate capacity of these three Pennsylvania nuclear power plants will be 145,000 kilowatts. In contrast, in all of Russia there is only one nuclear plant devoted to power production, and that has a capacity of only 5,000 kilowatts! SHIPPINGPORT ATOMIC POWER STATION-the world's first large-scale nuclear power station devoted solely to peaceful uses. In addition to producing power by means of the pressurized water reactor, this station has provided extensive invaluable information on uranium oxide fuel element performance, core reactivity changes and associated control factors, and on problems of health physics, radio chemistry and waste disposal. SAXTON NUCLEAR POWER PROJECT-now under construction. This is basically a research project which will explore the most promising concept of the pressurized water reactor for economic production of nuclear power. This facility has been designed and constructed so securely that it is extremely unlikely that storms, floods, earthquakes, fire, or even a missile hit would produce a nuclear accident. The Saxton plant is being built at an estimated cost of $8,520,000 to participating investor-owned electric companies. PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION-scheduled for completion late in 1963. High Temperature Reactor Development Associates, Inc., including 53 electric power and light companies in the country, have contracted for this nuclear power project at a cost of $26 million. Employing a high temperature, helium gas-cooled, graphite-moderated, solidhomogeneous reactor system, this project represents the first application of a new high performance concept. Its purpose is to serve as an effective prototype for future full-scale plants designed to produce electric power competitive in price with conventional power. Big things are happening throughout Pennsylvania's progressive electric industry; and there are exceptional opportunities for the capable engineering graduate to be a part of this vital movement. - PENNSYLVANIA ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION 20 Independent, Investor-Owned Eledric Companies of Pennsy/vOIW'f �Friday, February 9, 1962 s WllJCES COLLF.GE BEACON '50's Top Cagers Named to Dream Team Volunlary Vole Shows All-Stars /Zeller Leads Bowlers Of Decade Fealure Small Players With 182 Top Average; Cagers Conlend wilh Greyhounds; "Outstanding sportsmanship, teamwork, and. proficient Action Renews Sunday Seek lo Win in Rematch Contesl these me the qualities which led to the selection 1 play . . ." - of the members of the Dream Team. The All-Stm squad, chosen on a voluntary vote by members of the faculty, administration, and friends of the college, includes George Morgan, Len {Ba· G ha C troney) Bartlo, Ed Davis, eorge Gae ' and ml Van Dyke. . These former Wilkes stalwarts 4:xcelled on the hardwoods dunng the 1950-1960 decade and their efforts produced the most outstanding Blue and Gold basketball records. Leading the Dream Team is 6'4" George Morgan. The "big man" was also selected "Outstanding Colonel Cager of the Fifties." (see story page one.) Len Bartlo George Gacha The high-scoring forward on the select squad is Len (Batroney) Bartlo. The former Ashley High School ace holds the Wilkes record for most points in a career by amassing 1,642 points in his four years on the Wilkes team. Basketball wasn't Len's only claim to fame at Wilkes as he led the Colonel diamondmen in batting, a sweet .497, and home runs, three roundtrips, during the 1953 season as a second baseman. Beacon "Athlete of the Year" laurels were captured by Len in 1954 as he graduated from Wilkes. Since then he has been teaching mathematics in Garden City High School, Michigan, where he is head mentor of the basketball and baseball teams. Playing one of the guard posts is Ed Davis, a regular spark plug on the Colonel squads for four seasons. Although he is small for a college p er form er, "5'9" Babs" made up for his height disadvantage with his speed and fiery play. He is one of the few men to ever earn his letter in three major sports for four seasons. Ed graduated in 1954 with an A.B. in mathematics and returned to his alma mater, Plymouth High School, to teach. In 1955 Ed took over the reigns of the Wilkes basketball team and has been head mentor ever since. In 1958 he became head football coach at Plymouth and last season was named head baseball - coach. Ed is married and the proud father of two "little cheerleaders". Joining Davis at the guard positions is George Gacha. The "Gooch" is anothe.T "over the 1000 point" performer for the Blue and Gold and earned berths on the MAC All-Star teams in 1959 and 1960. The patented jump shot off the Th~ first half of the Intramural Bowlmg League ended the l~st Sunday of the first s_emes_ter with the Gutterdusters w 1 n n 1 n g the championship by one-half game over the Faculty. The Foul Lines finished in third place, four games behind. The award for most strikes went to Jerry Zeller with 142. Bill Watkins had the most spares in the League with 159. Regina Ritzie won the combination strike and spare championship for the girls. The top ten averages were as follows: 1. Jerry Zeller 182 2. Frank DiGennari 171 3. Bill Watkins 169 4.

Coach Ed Davis' cagers take on the Moravian Greyhounds in the nightcap of tomorrow evening's double-header with the tap-off time scheduled for 8:30. Before the Colonels try to even their season's record with the Greyhounds Dean George Ralston will introduce the members of the Fifties Dream Team and present them with certificates of achievement. In their earlier meeting the Greyhounds waylaid the victory hungry Colonels with a 76-57 win. Jack Zavacky led the Bethlehem men with 20 points while Demko, Kosman, and Wilson also hit in double figures. Bob Fleming led the Wilkes efforts with a 23 point burst while Harvey Rosen and John Moore added 14 counters each. The Colonels have gotten more help in their quest for a win over Moravian with the addition of Dick 'Doc' Voshefski to the team. The former Newport Township AllScholastic is a top ball-handler and will give the Davismen added reserve strength for their outside corps. Harpur Wins Against Harpur College on last Saturday, the Colonels found a quintet of red hot shooters from the outside too much to overcome and dropped a 68-59 decision. It was the unstoppable one-hand push shots from the side and some timely taps by Bob Loomis and Mickey Greenberg that proved too much for the Colonels. Trailing 31-21 at the half, Wilkes did manage to come driving back and make a close contest out of it as Bob Fleming who scored 16 tallies in the second half. John Moore chipped in 10 points in the second half to end up with 13 counters. Fleming led the Colonels in scoring with 18 points while Rosen and Moore each had 13. Tom Pugh turned in another good defensive game by holding the Harpurmen's top scorer, Ira Davis, to a scant seven points. The senior co-captain also tossed in eight points in the losing cause. Greenberg and Loomis led the victors with 21 points each. Ainsworth Earns "Athlete" Honors; Sustains Injury in Lasl Meel Ed Davis Carl Van Dyke George Morgan wrong foot sent George into 20point averages in his junior and senior years. While an offensive threat on the hardwoods, George traded his trade. mark for a defensive label on the soccer and baseball teams. He was the goalie on the soccer squad and an "ace" fireman on the diamond squad . George graduated in 1960 and traveled down the aisle in the same year. He is the father of a bouncing baby girl. George teaches at Toms River High School, New Jersey, where he is head soccer and basketball coach. Rounding out the Dream Team, alphabetically, is Carl Van Dyke. The little high-scoring forward was a consistent threat to opponents with his one-hand push shots from the outside and his accurate passes. He is considered one of the best defensive players to come out of the Wilkes ranks and was often assigned to guard the opposition's top man although he was usually taller than Carl. The former Punxsutawney AllScholastic was selected Beacon "Athlete of the Year" and "Outstanding Athlete of the Year" during his senior year of 1956. Not only a basketball wizard, the lanky performer was also a standout on the soccer field where he led the Colonels to a highly successful 1955 season. Against Hofstra he blasted home three goals in a 3-2 victory to set a Wilkes record. Carl is now teaching business education at Punxsutawney High School. The only "single" member of the Dream Team, Carl plans to make the trip down the middle aisle in the near future. Earning honorable mention on the Dream Team were: Jim Ather- ton, Bob Benson, John Bresnahan, Harry Ennis, Jim Ferris, Clem Gavenas, Charlie Jackson, Fran Mikolanis, Parker Petrilak, Bernie Radecki, Ron Roski, and Joe Sikora. The. Dream Team will be introduced to the fans at the intermission of tomorrow night's twin-bill and presented with certificates of achievement. 'DIGEST' ISSUE (continued from page 2) author Robert O'Brien. He quotes Dr. Wernher von Braun's assertion that American astronauts will be exploring the remotest corners of the solar system within 40 years. By 2002, trips to the moon will be commonplace, he says. Other benefits accruing to mankind by 2002 will include victory over the common cold and virtually all other communicable ailments, and control of most of the diseases which now afflict us. But the article sounds one note of caution. It quotes Nobel Prizewinner Dr. Hermann J.

VA 5-4767 Greeting Carda • Contemporary Cards GREETING CARDS · CONTEMPORARY RECORDS - PARTY GOODS Bob Ainsworth, as a result of his fine performances for Coach John Reese's wrestling squad, earns this week's "Ahtlete of the Week" honors. Bob has contributed a good deal to the success of the team thus far in the season. A Junior majoring in German, Bob has competed in the 177-pound division. He is yet to be defeated this season. In the meet with C. W. Post he drew with his opponent while he racked up victories in the Hofstra, East Stroudsburg, and Lycoming contests. He did not participate in the Ithaca meet due to an injury. His convincing decision in the Lycoming meet was perhaps his most significant as he staked the team to a five point advantage with only one bout remaining. The match was undoubtedly the most thrilling of the evening. His opponent, Dave Forten, was in trouble throughout the match as Bob was unrelenting in his pursuit of the elusive Warrior. He came quite close to pinning Forten on several occasions. The match ended in an 11-4 verdict. During this writing it was learned by this reporter that Bob aggravated a prior injury in the Lycoming contest and will be lost to the team for the remainder of Men's Modem the season. The injury, which includes bone fragments in his left knee, will require surgery as the condition is responsible for related cartilage ditmage. It is apparent that the operation will render him inoperative for the rest of the campaign. The injury could not have occurred at a more inopportune time, as Bob was finally coming into his own as a top-flight collegiate wrestler. He has shown steady improvement in the grappling skills during his tenure at Wilkes under the able tutorship of John Reese. Promoted to a varsity role this year, he has become .a mainstay of the team and has provided reliable strength in the 177 -pound division. His loss, no doubt, will have a marked effect on the team and it will be difficult to find a suitable replacement. A native of Kingston, Bob presently resides in Wilkes-Barre. He is a graduate of Kingston High School where he was an outstanding performer in football, track, and wrestling. As a high school grappler he ran up a string of 26 consecutive victories. He was a member of the 1958 Wyoming Valley Conference Championship team at Kingston. At Dickinson College, in 1959, he participated in football and wrestling.

Loyola Gives Pointers On Aims of Perfect Student Government The following is not a report on how student government actually functions at Loyola College but a report on how it might possibly function. It was written in hope of suggesting a vision or a direction which student government might take. "The stimulation of thought and exchange of ideas, the basic activity of the academic community in its quest for truth, is naturally the first concern of student government. Evaluating courses, p r o po sing changes in curriculum, suggesting the use of particular textbooks a re tasks which call upon all the insight and experience of the student body's elected representatives. They are tasks absolutely necessary lest the vitality of the school community fade and the opportunity for intellectual stimulation not grow, but wither. "Should a school provide a testing program to help superior students to avoid taking unnecessary introductory courses? How do professors' salaries and the number of hours professors teach affect the quality of instruction? How do superior and poorer students fare under a limited-cut system ? On questions such as these the mature student government is informed and ready to speak. "Stimulation of thought and exchange of ideas is hardly limited to the classroom. So the student government worries about lecture series, symposia, and even the state of informal contact and discussion between students and faculty members. The mature student government takes steps to see that the channels of student opinion and thought are kept strong and open, that the newspaper, literary magazine and bulletin boards provide students with the necessary giveand-take of orthodox and unorthodox modes of thought and expression necessary for the dialogue of education. "Closely allied with the more strictly academic concerns of the student government are the problems of student welfare. In the economic sphere tuition expenses and the necessity for a great many students to work part-time or even full-time are examples of real problems which a truly representative student government cannot ignore. The prices of textbooks, for exam- ALLEGHENY COLLEGE PLANS THREE-TERM CALENDAR Allegheny College will inaugurate a new three-term calendar beginning in September, 1962. The new program is not a trimester system involving an eleven month schedule, and according to college spokesmen does not represent an acceleration of the student's work. Total academic work for the year will be the same as at present; normally 30 credit hours per year with a range of 27-33 hours, but, and here's the change, 70-minute periods instead of the present 50. The longer class periods open new possibilities for combining lecture and class discussion, lecture and testing, or discussion and demonstration, according to Dr. Julian L. Ross, dean of instruction and chairman of the special committee that worked out the details. Research Institute on Communist Affairs + ;t PERUGINO'S VILLA + Italian-American Re■taunmt A.

These will test applicants for many new projects scheduled to begin this spring and summer in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. As in the previous tests, the Peace Corps is seeking not only people who may be skilled in a particular trade but also men and women without specialized training. An example of this is the liberal arts graduate who is sought for such things as community development projects. Peace Corps Director R. Sargent Shriver noted in announcing these tests that "no one should automati. cally exclude himself from consideration because he considers himself either too highly skilled or not skilled enough. We will match qualifications to the growing ret we are receiving from abqueSds" roa . Students interested in taking this test can receive information from Mr. Robert Morris in Chase Hall. Science, Aged Rodents Give Next Generation Longer Life Expectancy SPRING SEMESTER LIBRARY HOURS Monday-Thursday: 8 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Friday: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday: 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Science is working to expand man's Biblical life expectancy from "three score years and ten" to at least five score, or 100 years; and if the trend of new discovery continues, our children may live in a time when 100 years of age is merely a respectable average. These points are made in a January Reader's Digest article by Albert Q. Maisel, titled: "Can Science Prolong Our Useful Years?" Mr. Maisel answers his own question with a decided "yes." Already science is gaining insight into how and why we age. Aging processes can be arrested or forestalled in experiments with rats and other animals. Rats kept on a controlled diet, for example, lived an average ten per cent longer than rats who were allowed to eat whatever, and as much as, they wished. Answers to all our questions about aging are still in the remote future, Maisel admits. But there are methods which we can follow now to increase our own and our children's life expectancy. Among them are the following. Avoid overeating. Life insurance studies show that 20 pounds of excess weight cuts life expectancy by about 1 ½ years; 35 extra pounds can take four years from your life VA 3-6:276 Willces-Jrorre.

Cold Weather Enthusiasts Meet to Form Ski Club A movement which started as a snowball at the Winter Carnival a few weeks ago has turned into an avalanche. More than two dozen ski enthusiasts turned out for an organizational meeting of a college Ski Club last Friday. At this meeting Bernie Cohen, a junior biology major, was elected chairman pro temp of the group and a committee consisting of Ted Toluba, Bill Hall, and Marsha Silvers was appointed to look into the possibilities of becoming a recogni~ed campus organization. On Tuesday evening, 14 of the infant club's members attended a meeting of the Wyoming Valley Ski Club. Those who attended had the opportunity to obtain information on the club's organization, hints on skiing, and area facilities. Three ski films were also shown. Future meetings will be announced; anyone interested in the sport is invited to attend. Beginners are welcome. -------------- Debating Team Places Seventh in Annual Garvey Tournament The varsity debate squad participated in the 12th Annual Garvey Invitational Debate Tournament at King's last weekend. The squad, composed of John Campbell and Lynne Dente on the affirmative and Jerome Krasa and John Pikulski on the negative, compiled an overall record of six wins and four losses and placed seventh in a field of 34 schools entered. The affirmative team met and defeated teams from Duquesne, Colgate, and Drew Universities while dropping decisions to St. John's, Hillcrest College, and Washington and Lee University. The negative team defeated teams from St. John's College, Ohio University, and Brandeis University while losing to Duquesne University and Augustana College, the tournament winner. Entering the final round of the tournament which pitted strength against strength after the first round, the Wilkes team was actually in second place. However, since it dropped two decisions in the last round while the eventual winners picked up at least one, they dropped to seventh in the final standings. Later in the semester, the team has scheduled meets at Pace College, Colgate University, Bucknell University, and College Misericordia. Plans are being discussed for entering the District 7 elimination meet at the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg, Virginia. This match is the elimination match for teams that will later participate in the national finals at West Point Military Academy. Michelini Will Discuss Drinking Al Next Assembly Program One of the most familiar and friendly figures on the campus is Dr. Francis Michelini, the featured speaker at assembly next Thursday. Dr. Michelini whose topic will be, "The Physiological Effects of Alcohol on the Human Body," feels that early summers spent on his grandfather's farm and his grandfather's deep appreciation of nature probably awakened and influenced his interest in science. Dr. Michelini left college after his freshman year to join the Army Air Corps where he was a radio operator. After the war he returned to college and received a B.S. degree in chemistry from Seton Hall University. He continued his studies at the University of Delaware where he earned his M.S. degree in biology. While at D e I a w a r e he was awarded an Atomic Energy Fellowship for research on radioactive effects on plant materials. At the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned his doctorate degree, he continued his studies on plants and wrote 'his doctoral thesis on plant metabolism. As a result of this interest in the metabolic activities of plant materials, Dr. Michelini developed a side interest in alcoholproducing plants and the physio- logical effects of alcohol on humans. His assembly subject was first considered as a lecture topic when the Pittston Lions Club asked him to speak to their group. Dr. Michelini feels the subject is of particular importance since many people have been presented with more myth than fact rgearding the effects of alcohol. In his lecture Dr. Michelini will present the more upto-date scientific view on the effects of alcohol. He also plans to discuss some of the differences between the various types of alcoholic beverages in terms of their nutritional value and alcoholic content. In regard to alcoholic content, Dr. Michelini indicated that there is more to "proof" than is generally understood. He will relate some of the traditional myths referring to the effects of Tonight - 8:30 Irem Temple STUDENT WEEKLY WII...Km COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Five Music Majors Will Present Senior Piano Recital Sunday Concordia Concert Kiwanis Branch Formed By College s_tudents, Known as Circle KClub The organizational meeting of the Circle K Club of the WilkesBarre Kiwanis was held recently on the Wilkes College campus. At this meeting Victor F. Baiz, chairman of the Circle K groups of the Wilkes-Barre K i w a n i s, explained the objectives and functions of these auxiliaries, and then introduced A.H. Ackerson, Lt. Governor, Pennsylvania Kiwanis Division 15, who spoke at length about the Kiwanis in general. Following a question and answer period, the club was officially organized with temporary officers being elected. William D. Carver will serve as president; Edward Comstock, vice-president; Michael Cebula, s e c re tar y; and Douglas Haughwout, treasurer. Membership in the club is open to all the young men of Wilkes, but especially freshmen and sophomores are urged to join. All members will receive pins and membership cards on Charter Night to be held at the end of the semester. Future meetings will be held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1962 Accounting Internships Send Seniors Throughout Country by Jerome Krasa College seniors are often criticized for the semi-natural tendency they seem to have of allowing the quality of their work to slacken off during their last semester. Few, however, are granted the opportunity presented eleven of our students of leaving the campus entirely for the first six weeks of that semester. The students in this case are senior accounting majors and they are participating in an annual program set up by the college to acquire field work in accounting prior to graduation. These internships are provided to give the student practice in the work he would be doing if he were an actual part of the firm. The internship program, itself, is designed to last for six weeks, during which time the student acts as a regular part of the firm for which he is working. The program, this year, achieved national scope with one of the boys accepting an internship in the Los Angeles office of an accounting firm. Mr. Robert Capin, instructor in the accounting department and head of the c o 11 e g e internship program, said that the only function the college plays in the program is to get representatives of the firms to come to the campus to interview the students. He noted that Mr. John Chwalek is responsible for having the firm send a representative but .that once the representative appears on campus there is no further participation in the program on the part of the college.

Friday, February 16, 1962 ' COLLEGE BEACON STUDENT SKETCH Letter to the Editor Dear Sports Editor: Your letter came as quite a surprise to me! I read your letter and announcement, and I still can't quite believe it. I feel very honored to be part of such a group that encompasses 10 years. I would like to thank the people who voted and who thought enough of my basketball ability to include me as a member of the Dream Team. Little things such as this certainly make one feel a bit warmer inside; I only wish that I could be on hand to take part in the festivities on February 10. Unfortunately, St. Louis is quite a distance from Wilkes-Barre, and since time is rather short, I find it necessary to stay here. Either Younsu Koo or George Elliot, I hope, will be happy to accept my award and forward it to me. And may I thank you for it in advance. Again, thank you for the consideration.

What adjustments would one make if he were, for instance, virtually step back in time and become a college freshman again? After a five year absence Joseph Trosko returned to Wilkes and did a double take! Campus changes made him feel once again like a freshman in a bewildering atmosphere. The beloved little cafeteria had become a huge dining area and the center of campus life. Coffee, which was served only at meal time, is now offered all day. He found that chemistry, once taught exclusively at Conyngham Hall, is now taught in the attractive and well-equipped million dollar Stark Hall science building. Joe is a 1955 Wilkes graduate who has returned to secure several additional credit hours in physics and organic chemistry which he will need to enter Pennsylvania State University School of Dentistry. Graduated from the College with a bachelor of science degree in secondary education, Joe coached football here for one season. He then taught physical education in the Plains school system. He taught sophomore biology in Sommerville, New Jersey and general science in Nutley Junior High School. Joe also worked in the laboratory of the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, whence his desire to study dentistry.

In the second five-minute overtime the Greyhounds sent three shots through the hoop to end the marathon. Moravian opened the contest with an eight point lead but the Colonels closed the gap to tie the score at 23-all on the shooting of Harvey Rosen. The Greyhounds put on a full-court press and added twelve points to their total before the Colonels could break into the scoring column again. Halftime came with the visitors holding a 37-27 margin. The Davismen surged the second half and tied their taller opponents, 67-67, in the closing minutes. Top shooting by Rosen and two clutch baskets by Tom Pugh led the comeback. The two squads traded baskets in the closing moments to end the regulation time. In the first overtime Rosen and Ernie Kosman traded baskets and Wolfson put the Bethlehem men into the lead before Pugh knotted the score for the twelfth time with a pair of free throws. Kosman was the big noise in the second overtime as he ripped the nets with three jump shots for the margin of victory. John Moore and Don Mattey scored for the Colonels. Rosen was the top scorer for the Colonels with 30 points while Kosman hit for a like number for Moravian.

This Wilek the honors go to Bob Ziegler, a competitor in the 167-pound division. Bob, a freshman, has been a mainstay of the mat squad throughout the season. In the past two meets he turned in particularly convincing victories. Against Lycoming, the Allentown native romped to a 7-0 decision over Bob Wayne. He was in command all the way as he racked up a number of predicament points to fashion the win. Bob Ziegler Last Saturday in the Millersville meet, Bob handed Hank Kenberdine of the Marauders an overwhelming defeat. He came close to pinning Kenberdine on several occasions, rolling up the highest score of the evening. Bob has improved through the season and at present is performing in expert style. He is a graduate of AllentownAllen High School where he was an outstanding grappler. In his senior year he captained the squad while earning District and Regional Championships. He a 1 s o was named Outstanding Wrestler of the Year in 1961 at Allentown-Allen. Bob Ziegler has proved to be an important part of the Wilkes wrestling picture and no doubt he will continue to maintain this position of prominence in the future.

COLLEGE BEACON AUTUMN LEAVES SILVER SCULPTURI! TARA ( continued from page 1) the field of accounting and Wilkes is fortunate to have the program at the college. Mr. Capin said that, although all colleges in the country don't participate in the program, our students are in competition with boys from colleges throughout the country. H e further noted that if the firm liked the performance of the intern working with it, a permanent job after graduation was not unusual. Here, also, the college stays free of the boy's choice. The reason for Roberts being sent so far west, Mr. Capin said, was that Haskins and Sells wants to see how eastern college boys fit in with their western office. This is the farthest one of our students has been sent in this program. Commenting on last year's program, Mr. Capin concluded, that our interns were compared favorably with those from other schools and a number of them were offered permanent positions with the firm with which they had interned. Friday, February 16, 1962 TDR Valentine Queen Chosen Miss Merle Benisch was crowned Queen of Hearts by Miss Barbara Piledggi, sorority president, at the Theta Delta Rho Valentine semi-formal last Friday evening. Miss Benisch received a bouquet of pink carnations and white porn porns, and a charm bracelet. Her royal duty consisted of distributing goblets to all male escorts during intermission. Lettermen Go It Again At Annual Cherry Chop "Can she bake a cherry pie Billy boy, Billy boy?" Nobly the Lettermen's Club will ease the pain of male students forced to answer this query negatively by serving free cherry pie during intermission at the Cherry Tree Chop next Friday evening. Lest cynics too hastily conclude that eherry pie is the only boon offered by the Lettermen at their annual soiree, consider these other attractions. Dr. Francis J. Michelini, former monopolistic holder of four consecutive Pie Eating Championships, will attempt to recapture his title from Jerry Mohn, defending champion, who gorged his way to glory last year. Buzzing saws and groaning men will usher in the traditional logsawing contest f eaturing Dr. Michelini and Dean Ralston pitted against two hardy opponents representing the Lettermen's Club - a further enticement to diversion-seeking students. To conclusively squelch any arguments against attending, Rick Rees and Jerry Mohn, co-chairmen of the affair, respectfully submit the theory that the fifty cent donation is tax deductible since its destination is the Lettermen's Scholarship Fund - indeed a charitable cause.

TRIP The Psychology - Sociology Club will hold a very important meeting on Tuesday, February 27 at 11:00 a.m. in Conyngham 103. The meeting will be presided over by the following new officers: Joe Gelli, president; Tom Faris, vice-president; Barbara Savitski, secretary; and Mike Winslow, treasurer. An important issue on the agenda will be the discussion on the trip to New York. The trip will occur either the last weekend of April or the first weekend of May. The students will visit the psychological laboratories of Columbia University and the New School of Psychology. Mr. Joseph Kanner, instructor of Psychology, will accompany the group. At the meeting, Dr. Riley will speak to the club about the survey which the Psychology department has made concerning the replacement of families in the redevelopment of Wilkes-Barre's H a z l e Street area. . This year helping the students decide their choice will be a panel of judges from -college personnel. These judges are Dr. Francis Michelini, Mr. Kent Kirby, Mr. Richard Chapline, Dr. Ruth Jesse, Miss Mildred Gittins, and Mrs. Livingston Clewell. Judging points which all should look for are: a good figure and excellent posture; clean, shining, wellkept hair; good grooming - not just neat but impeccable; a deft hand with makeup ( enough to look pretty but not overdone); a clear understanding of her fashion type; imagination in managing a clothes budget; a workable wardrobe plan; individuality in her use of colors; accessories; a suitable campus look (she's in line with local customs); and appropriate - not rah rah look for off.campus occasions. Student Government Makes Plans For Student Leaders Conference Notification of the next planned date for the Student Leaders' Conference was given at Monday's Student Government meeting. The time is Monday evening at 6 p.m. in the Commons. At this time the students will have the opportunity to discuss any subject matter which affects campus activiy. Any topic for discussion should be submitted to the Student Government mail box by Monday at noon. Refreshments will be served. County Vote Machines To Be Used in Elections To Fill Class Vacancies Freshman and sophomore elections will be held on Friday, March 2, to fill vacant class offices. Lou Coopey, judge of elections, and assistant Thomas Penhale have announced that voting machines have been obtained from the county to be used in the tabulation. The polls will be located in the cafeteria lounge and will be open between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Friday. Jeff Gallet, chairman of the committee investigating the parking problem, stated that fewer car-pool tickets were sold than was expected. Those who purchased the pool tickets will still be able to use them. The Government voted to allot $120 from the intercollegiate conference fund to defray expenses of twelve students attending the Intercollegiate Conference on Government model general assembly in Harrisburg. Total expenses for the trip will be approximately $267.60. The assembly will be held at the end of next month. Eelections for new class officers and Student Government representatives will be held next Friday in the lounge of the Commons. Regular voting machines will be used and the numerical results will be posted. Students from both classes were nominated last Tuesday to fill vacated positions.

Shoup of the United States Marine Corps. General Shoup said that Marines are taught "faith and confidence." "We Don't teach them to hate. Hatred is poison," he said. It is closely related to the fear which breeds defeatism instead of victory. It is "a disease that we cannot afford if we are to maintain our position in the family of freedom-loving people." Hatred, as a disease, causes its victims to forget good intentions and sometimes makes the result of the good they do of no effect. General Shoup has given over 200 speeches without mentioning Communism. As the Monitor editors stated, however, "if hatred is not for the Marines, it is not for those who combat Communism on the political level." May we, in figthing Communism, "be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Letter to the Editor ... Dear Editor: Ever since the snow fell last week, and due to the periods of thaw and frost, a sheet of ice formed on many of the pavements which are controlled by the college. No work has been done by the maintenance crew to salt or even sand these danger spots. I realize that the crew is kept busy, but don't you think that the welfare of the several hundred students is important enough to bring about the correction of such a hazard? Friday, February 23, 1962 STUDENT SKETCH Richard Rees, Active in Athletics/ Gives Views on Education by Gloria Zaludek Richard Rees, the subject of this week's student sketch, might have stepped from one of those sidewalk posters, emblazoned with the now-famous adage: "The Marine Corps Builds Men." An average boy - blond, blue-eyed, handsome, wellbuilt - Rick was moulded into a tough Marine Corporal with an interest in history. In approximately two weeks, this senior will turn loose his rugged charm and his knowledge of history as he begins student teaching in one of the local high schools.

Mariella College Publishes Manual · To Assisi Faculty Advisors A manual for Marietta College's faculty advisors to help them evaluate the academic potential of their freshman advisees has been produced by Jack M. Scott, director of college-high school relations at the college. The manual discusses the interpretation of objective admissions data in predicting or determining just how well a student should do. Scott presents guides for evaluating a student's high school record, discussing in detail: type of course, grades, rank-in-class, c o 11 e g e recommending grade, recommendation of high school official, and secondary school test scores. A second section deals with the use of Scholastic Aptitude Test scores to determine a student's relative ability and to predict his performance. Scott found that when the two objective predictors are used - rank-in-class and SAT scores - the rank-in-class should receive 67 per cent weight and the SAT score 33 per cent. The final section of the manual tells the advisor how to use both the high school record and test scores to identify "over-achievers" and "under-achievers" among freshmen. WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Elizabeth Taylor Look, Hip Hugger Sportswear Herald Spring Fashions by Nancy Tinklepaugh and Maryann Wilson The Elizabeth Taylor look is expected to sweep the nation this spring. This look is a frilly blouse which comes in pastel checks such as, pink and white, plain white, or pastel solids. The blouse can be very frilly or just softly feminine depending on how many ruffles it has. Some of the blouses have a single ruffle about the neck and cuffs of the sleeves while others have a mass of ruffles at the neck, down the front of the blouse, about the cuffs of the sleeves, and around the hem of the blouse. This look has also been carried out in some of the prettiest dresses for spring. A new and daring style for spring and summer is the hip hugger look. Skirts, slacks, and Bermuda shorts are now cut to hang on the hips instead of fit the waist. Two piece bathing suits which are supposed to catch on this season after two unsuccessful seasons are also featuring this look. For you gals with slim hips and a little daring, the hip hugger look can be very attractive. Richard Rees Rick, a social studies major, will graduate in June with a bachelor of science degree in secondary education. Of the Wilkes history department, he says, "In my opinion, the members of the department not only present material in an enlightening and understandable way but relate men to events in history, making the past as interesting as the present. Rick's "present," however, is also quite interesting. He has been a four-year member of the Lettermen's Club and is its present vicepresident. A two-year member of the ICG, he is student chairman of the Chapter and its Northeastern Pennsylvania publicity director. Rick has played football at the College for four years and was cocaptain of this year's squad. He has served his class as a member of its executive council and is now one of its representatives on the Student Government. When asked what were his feelings concerning bis years of Wilkes, Rick, who was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, answered in words which seemed to echo the Marine Corps motto: "Semper Fidelis." "As one continues here he grows attached to the College and realizes a certain loyalty to it. He feels proud of it now, and he will feel even more so after graduation." Rick expressed his satisfaction with the tremendous improvements made in the athletic program here, specifically making mention of the recent acquisition and renovation of Artillery Park. He believes, however, that the College needs better facilities for student teachers on campus. He pointed out that the rooms in which student teachers prepare for actual teaching do not present natural situations. In some instances, these rooms are too small or have inadequate blackboard space and are thus not comparable to actual elementary and secondary classrooms. Finally, Rick sees a need for bet(continued on page 4) University of Detroit i Raises Graduate School Admission Requirement Detroit, Mich. - The Graduate School at the University of Detroit has raised admission requirements from 2.5 to 2.7 overall average in undergraduate work. The change, made by the Graduate Council, requires all applicants to have the 2.7 for at least the final 60 hours of undergraduate work. In addition, they must have a 2.75 in their field of graduate specialization. Rev. Allen P. Farrell, S.J., dean of the Graduate School, said the change is the result from a need to bring admissions standards more in line with those of top Graduate Schools in the country. "This will mean," he said, "if past evidence is valid, that instead of the usual one-third rejections, at least onehalf of the applicants will be turned down. · Manuscript Film, "Pather Panchali" - Stark 116, Tonight, 7 p.m. Cherry Tree Chop - Gymnasium, Tonight, 9 :00 p.m. Levittown-Trenton Alumni Chapter Meeting - Bristol Motel, Tonight, 8:30 p.m., Mr. George Ralston, ,Speaker.

Mr. Gordon Roberts, Executive Alumni Secretary "Undoubtedly Colonel Glenn's successful flight will have positive scientific and technological implications. However, I believe the most profound implication related to this historic event is that is was listened to and watched by the entire world at the invitation of a nation which believes in an open and free society. I believe this successful space endeavor will help to convince other countries of the United States' strength and knowhow; I hope many Americans are convinced, also!" Mr. George Elliot, Assistant Professor of Economics "I hesitate to say this on a day of deserved national pride and achievement, but I doubt that Glenn's flight will make one iota of difference in world affairs. I say this with full appreciation for the present and future contributions of American science to ourselves and to the world. "The question assumes that world affairs are like an athletic contest where the only thing that counts is who scored the last basket. This is an important, but isolated, battlefield in a struggle of vast scope. We should be proud, but we should not delude ourselves into any false sense of security and we should not divert ourselves from other equally important issues and problems." �WILIES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 23, 1962 3 Wrestlers Close With Gettysburg Matmen Close Season With Veteran Bullets; Moravian Triumphs Tomorrow afternoon the wrestlers close out the dual meet season at Gettysburg against an experienced Bullet squad. Gettysburg is currently enjoying another successful season and are a much better team than the one that succumbed to the Wilkesmen last season. Brooke Yeager will be back on the mat for the Colonels after a week's absence due to a bout with the ffu. After the Gettysburg meet only the Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament remains on the matmen's schedule. Last Saturday evening the grapplers suffered their first home defeat in nine years, as they were edged by a potent Moravian squad. The victory, as it turned out, resulted from a Wilkes loss of the opening contest of the evening. Ned McGinley, substituting for an ill Brooke Yeager, was pinned in 7 :22 by Dave Wilson.

Swimmers Close Season With Marauder Squad Tomorrow at YMCA Pool Tomorrow afternoon the Colonel aquamen will take to the waters of the Central YMCA to contend with the Marauder mermen of Millersville. The Wilkes team will be facing their opposition who, at this time, have a 3-2 mark. In the swimming tilt at Pennsylvania Military College I a s t Saturday, Wilkes succumbed to their host in a 56-38 defeat, as the aquamen managed only two event wins. The diving event, captured by J. J. Miller, with Ron Masters placing second, and the 400-yard freestyle race, composed of Jack Barnes, Ron Masters, J. R. Miller, and J. J. Miller, were the extent of Wilkes' victories. Jack Barnes, a budding contender, has been with the team only one season, and has added many vital points when he placed second in two of the matches. Tomorrow's event will be Wilkes' last contest of the season and Ken Young expects a grand finale from his boys. REHAB.

Rich, who plans to be a high school science teacher, succeeds Bob Januszko as team captain. Bellas as a sophomore and junior compiled an amazing record for the Colonel divot-diggers, having gone through two years of Middle Atlantic Conference play undefeated. One of the best competitors ever to play on the golf team in its fiveyear existence, Rich has a cool, even temperament, unusual among collegiate golfers. Certainly the feat for which he may be most proud occurred in the 1960 match against Scranton at Fox Hill. When his driver went so sour that it cost him a point for the front nine holes, Bellas proceeded to play the back nine with irons exclusively and came home with a two-one victory. While the loss of Bob Januszko, Al Stralka, Joe Hiznay, and John Pierce will make unlikely a repetition of last year's 6-3 season, it will be interesting to observe for how long the new captain can keep his individual winning streak alive. Six dual meets, a triangular meet and a pair of tournaments make up the 1962 golf schedule for the Colonels. The return of Juniata and Albright to the schedule means that the golfers will have a hard time living up to the 6-3 record compiled last season. Giving the team strength at the top will be veterans John Adams, Jim Ward, and Captain Rich Bellas. Adams, in his third year on the squad, was one of the five junior golfers from the Allentown area. He is capable on any given day of beating any golfer in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Hard-working Jim Ward, veteran of a decade with the United States Marines, had what was for him a most disappointing inaugural season. The trouble that wasn't corrected until late summer provided Jim with many woes. The Mississippi native is a long-accurate iron shooter who must fill the spot left by Al Str~lka if the Blue and Gold golfers are to have a winning season.

The test, a uniform one given simultaneously throughout the country, is comprised of five sections and requires a testing period of 2 ½ days. However, since the test is the only criterion which states have in certifying their accountants, each state sets up its own requirements.

Student Violations College Development Student leaders voted unanimously to back an. idea for a student arbitration board. The duties of this board would be to investigate any student violations on ·or off campus and prescribe a just punishment. As a college, Wilkes has few of these violations. Those that occur are handled by the Dean's office. Under this proposed plan, Student Government members with representatives from faculty and administration would handle these matters. Proposed additions to the college were discussed at this meeting because of the apparent interest of members of the student body in a Fine Arts building. Mr. Morris explained that originally the Fine Arts building had priority in future college construction, however, certain occurrences have altered this. For example, the graduate program in chemistry and physics, and the possibility of an Area Research Center doing industrial research and development necessitates an addition to Stark Hall across to Chase Theater and up to Bennett Hall. Also the Urban Renewal program has provided for college growth in part of the block between South and Ross Streets. Plans have been made for the building of a dormitory for 250 male residents and a new dining hall for the entire student body. The new dormitory will probably be built on the unit plan with a designated number of male students per unit. This is to maintain the comrad·e rie of the present dormitory units. Activities Bulletin All attending agreed that the activities calendar in the Student Handbook becomes out-dated soon after the beginning of the fall semester. A remedy for this has been made with the publication of a weekly activities bulletin through Mr. Morris' office. · Any organization having an activity is advised to g1ve the information to Miss Joan: Borowski in Chase Hall before Wednesday, noon. Tuition A discussion of tuition increases brought out the points of rising costs in college operations and a planned increase in faculty salaries. The latter point is the most important reason for the . tuitiori increase. -R9om and board costs are also i_ncreasing next year. Several dormitory . membe.rs present wondered if this increase will facilitate needed repairs in the dormitories. Mr. Morris' comment was a ·r eference to a recent. male dormitory suryey which revealed that only three men's· dormitory students would be willing to leave the present building set-up for a modern dormitory. To quote Mr. Morris, "No matter how many complaints we receive, you still want to remain in the present dormitories." Insurance There was a long discussion on the ten dollar deductible clause of the medical insurance plan. It was brought out that many dormitory students in the throes ·of the present flu epid_emic were hesitant about obtaining medical care because of the initial fee. As a result the germ is pas·s ed quickly from ·p erson to person in the dormitory and classroom. Three nurses in the dormitories have been ·busy making house calls and handing out advice concerni_n g this · illness. Dormitory residents at the meeting were noting th_is service because it was sometimes difficult to get medical attention. They felt that since they must pay the initial office fee, they should be given access to the same office hours as regular p·a tients. Drinking Long a subject of great interest to the student body, the drinking policy of the school came up for discussion at Monday's meeting. The policies committee of the Student Government is preparing a new approach which they hope will find acceptance with the administration. Finale At the end of the meeting Albert Kishel, Student Government president, complimented the students present on their contributions, and added that he had hoped more than twenty-six students would be present and a greater percentage of the some forty-odd organizations be represented. Ed Club Plans Forum Members of the Education Club are planning an April forum to bring together high school members of the Future Teachers of America and Wilkes students majoring in education. The forum will be held on Tuesday, April 3, from 7 to 9 p.m. Ron Grohowski, chairman of the forum, reports that following introductory remarks by Dr. Eugene Hammer, Chairman of the Education Department, and Pat Rossi, ·president of the Education Club, a series of detailed panel discussions will be held. The panel discussions, with Wilkes education majors and high school students participating, will also, according to Grohowski, "afford opportunities for younger students to acquaint themselves with the challenges and rewarding experiences that they will encounter as they prepare for the teaching ·profession." The committee making preparations for this high school-college forum will meet in Parrish Hall on Monday at 7 p.m. Other business before the Education Club at its recent meeting was the organization of a Wilkes Student Teachers Conference which will conduct its first formal meeting in the college Commons tomorrow at 10 :30 a.m., and a motion to conduct educational and explorative field trips to the Kis-Lyn Industrial School and to the "gifted children classes" of •the WilkesBarre Public School System.

'Duke' Coming March 31 For Junior Jazz Junket; Tickets on Sale Now Nancy Palazzolo A series of seminars designed to stimulate intellectual thinking and discussion will begin on Sunday evening at McClintock Hall. · Nancy Palazolla, chairman of the seminar committee for Associated Women Students, has announced that this first seminar will determine whether enough interest is present on campus for a continuation of the series. Dr. Riley, chairman of the psychology department, will lead the first seminar group on a topic of popular concern. All students and faculty members interested in attending are welcome. The seminar will start at 7:30 p.m. Students on campus are familiar with Dr. Riley's presentations, having heard them either in class or at assembly programs. Miss Palazolla stated, "We asked Dr. Riley because of his popularity with the faculty and students, and because we were sure his choice of a topic would be a pertinent one." She continued, "I have received many approving comments about the starting of a seminar series, and I am sure all who attend will consider their time well spent." Opera Company Members To Appear in Assembly Next Thursday's assembly will lend a musical note of cheer to brighten the dreary days of winter on campus. Rosalie De Felice, coloratura soprano, and Bob Tarboax, baritone, of the Binghamton Opera Company, will perform for the student body. Miss DeFelice has had many leads in light operas with the company each season. Mr. Tarboax has also performed in a number of productions with the company. Mary Lou Egan, who is the official accompanist for the Binghamton group, will accompany them on the piano. Frosh Schedule Tryouts For Class Talent Show The Freshman Class announces a change in their plans for a class project. In ,p lace of the previously planned April dance, the Freshman Talent Show will now be used as the class project. The show will be held on the same date for which the dance was planned, and admission will be charged. Tryouts are Saturday at 2 p.m. in the gym. It is necessary that all freshmen who feel inclined to display their talent appear at this time to audition. All members of the committee All Schools for Talent Any student who wishes to display his talent in the music fields of jazz or rock-and-roll may do so on May 10 and 11, when Lycoming College in Williamsport will sponsor an Intercollegiate Musical Competition. Besides individual auditions, this is an excellent opportunity for a college vocal group to become recognized by musicloving fans. At the musical competition, representatives from Capitol Records, Liberty Records, Lycoming Music Corporation, and Continental Artists will be present. There is a chance that some participating groups will be signed by booking agents in the audience. Winners will not go unrewarded, for prizes consisting of $600 in cash, various trophies, and other non-cash items will be distributed to those groups or individuals considered the best in competition. For those interested in applications and information concerning the contest, Mr. R. E. Lovett of the Music Department may be contacted, or write to Intercollegiate Musical Competition, Box 35, Lycoming College, Williamsport, Pa. Deadline for applications will be April 1, 1962. for the show should be present, along with the members of the executive council who will select the performing acts. Tryouts will be followed by a meeting of the class officers, and appointments to the executive council will also be made at this time. ICG Hosts Convention; Regional Delegates Present Model Congress Wilkes College will act as host for the Northeast Regional Convention of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government to be held Sunday, March 11.

Wilkes will provide a chairman and clerks for the foreign affairs committee on campus Sunday, when Dr. Eugene Farley will present the welcoming ad d re s s. Tentative plans include speeches by Congressmen Daniel Flood and William Scranton. Coordinators for the regional convention are Richard Rees and Estelle Manos. Rees, who is the regional publicity director for ICG, will be nominated for state speaker from this region-the highest office in the state ICG. �2 WILn'S COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL On Student Interest The recent demonstration by undergraduate college students who picketed the White House proves if nothing else that at least some college students have taken an active interest in our nation and its government. While we may not necessarily agree with the reasons for the stand taken by this group, we must recognize the motivation which caused these students to take such a stand. Undoubtedly, most of those who participated had thought a great deal about the problems involved before coming to a conclusion and it is for this that they must be commended. College students must become aware of the existing important problems in the world today. All too often, we become so deeply engrossed in affairs which affect us personally and at the present time, that we fail to see the problems which may have an indirect affect upon us in the future. These students whose concern about this impersonal, national problem was great enough to lead them to take the stand which they have taken have once again brought to light the need for interest and enthusiasm on the part of the college student in the affairs of our country. Our interests must rise above the near and the present and include within their scope the realm of things distant and future. Advancements Made by Peace Corps Is Subject of Magazine Article A year after its inception, the United States Peace Corps has almost 600 volunteers working overseas, with another 200 training at home and some 18,000 a·pplications on file. It has not had the unqualified success that some predicted for it, but neither has it been the catastrophic failure that others feared it would be. Rather, it has established itself as an effective force for international good will. These are among conclusions to be drawn from an article in the March Reader's Digest describing "The Peace Corps One Year Later." Most closely watched of all Peace Corps programs is the communitydevelopment project •i n Colombia. Unlike other Corpsmen who are basically teachers, Colombia's 62 PC'ers are pioneers who work at chores that range from building roads to teaching sanitation to people who have never seen a flush toilet. Aided by the support of President Alberto Lleras Camargo and of the powerful Roman Catholic Church, Colombia's Corpsmen have earned the trust of the people they work with despite Communist charges that they are preparing the country for sale to the United States. But if the Corpsmen have proven themselves abroad, they are still controversial here at home. Opposite views are epitomized by University of Chicago historian Daniel Boorstein, who character:zes the Corps as another demonstration "of both American naivete and arrogance," and by New York University psychologist Morris Stein, who says: "These kids represent something many of us thought had disappeared from America - the old frontier spirit." PC Director Sargent Shriver readily admits that mistakes have been made, but argues: "The fact is that the project works and the job is being done."

Dear Sir: On behalf of the basketball team I'd like to thank the fine student attendance in the latter part of the season. The team effort in the second half of the year was superb and the fine school spirit present at these games undoubtedly was an important factor. To all the loyal fans the basketball team says, "Thanks." Harvey Rosen Co-captain, '62 cagers Wall Divides World, Presents Wide Contrast In Education, Thought A wall can change education and thought. But it cannot harness freedom of the mind that is given a chance to break the chains. Kelly Smith contrasts education on the two sides of the wall in a Daily Kansan editorial. Two girls, university students, walk along the still streets. It's dark. They're talking and laughing now and then as they play a children's game of hop-scotch with the shadows. In another city, two more girls are walking along a street - a quiet street because there is a curfew. There is no laughing. The few words spoken are almost whispers. There are shadows, but no hop-scotch. The difference? The two girls are students at the University of Kansas, USA; the other two are students at Humboldt University, East Berlin. Without further explanation, we recognize immediately that between these girls there is more than distance, more than a language barrier, and more than a mere variety of professors and textbooks - there is a world. A world now separated by a wall. We talk about the "limited, tersely selected material" available to students on the other side of the wall. We talk and complain about the fact that two girls cannot laugh as freely on one campus as on another. We talk about the restrictions of students behind the wall. But what do we do about it? Nothing. And what can we do? We can educate ourselves more aptly and fully. We can learn that there is a difference in degrees of academic freedom, and we can learn that those differences produce two kinds of people Communist-inspired and democratic-inspired. We can learn that freedom of the mind cannot be harnessed within a wall if given a chance to break the chains, and we can learn that one person, one student body, one country is enough to break the vacuum seal over the student, any student, anywhere.

The Beau-Bow Hairdo Need a quick hair set, but you simply can't be seen in curlers? Take heed to the new beau-bow hairdo! Here's how you do it: Separate damp hair into clumps about the size of a fifty cent piece and tie with half-inch-wide ribbon cut about ten inches long, draw the half-knot out to the ends of the hair; tighten, using the knot like a roller; wind the hair up to the scalp; tie the ribbon again. Now who could object to a bunch of bonny ribbons? They'll revive your curls in about half an hour, too!

Friday, March 2, 1962 STUDENT SKETCH Senior Reveals Sound Thoughts On Occupational Philosophy By Barbara A. Lore "E Duco" the Latin base of the word education means "to lead out of the darkness." This exactly fits the philosophy of Mary Ann Foley, senior secondary education major, who views the educator as a dominant, positive force. According to Mary Ann, "The influence of the home on the American child is steadily decreasing. Because of the prevalence of working mothers and the increasing reliance on the school for the molding of youth, many obligations formerly the property of parents have been switched to the teacher. Teat:hers cannot avoid controversial issues but must express opinions and impart values to youth since this may be the only avenue to intelligent appraisal the child has. Controversial issues such as communism must be objectively discussed in the classroom since an intelligent person cannot honestly and effectively reject an idea until he thoroughly understands all its implications." These profound, seriously c o n s i d e r e d thoughts coming not from John Dewey or an education manual, but from a pert, attractive, extremely feminine coed are a bit discon::erting. Mary Ann Foley Writing May Improve With Use of Experts Reading Student Papers A two-year project at Case Institute of Technology is providing one answer to improving the writing abilities of college students. Called the Case Reader Service, the project uses a staff of experts to grade the writing quality of student papers written for non-composition courses in science and engineering. Initially begun two years ago, the Reader Service was applied originally to some 16 courses covering 340 of Case's 1600 undergraduate students. Last year, on an expanded basis, it was applied to 18 courses covering 620 students. This year it has been further e~panded to include the entire sophomore class in the required Physics Laboratory course. The program is in addition to the freshman composition course which all students must take. The Humanities Department has also introduced a new objective grading system in second semester Freshman composition courses. The new system deducts one letter from the grade of a theme for each major grammatical error or every three minor ones · . . The Reader Service proJect employs a staff of reade~ who ch~k papers and confer privately with stude~ts ".11~ 0 demonstrate weakn_ess m wr1tm~. The recommffendatlons ~f the r~aders_ sta_ are taken mt_o co~s1derat1on 1~ _the grades given m the spec1ahzed courses, thus .p roviding an incentive for students to improve their writing skills. Laboratory reports, term papers and analyses are checked for accuracy in grammar, punctuation, spelling and mechanics as well as for clarity, coherence and logic. With a torrent of words flowing from her lips, Mary Ann continued expounding on this subject vitally important to her. "Failing a child is demoralizing. It causes disinterest, discouragement, social problems and leads to further failurea vicious cycle. The basis of many scholastic problems is emotional rather than intellectual, therefore a concentrated effort to discover these underlying problems and alleviate them is much more constructive than indiscriminate failing." As a potential English teacher, Mary Ann enthusiastically claims that this oft-dreaded subject can be presented as a vital, pleasurable experience. She contends that grammar should not be taught out of context but as a technique of effective speech while literature should be viewed as a mirror of man's ntost pulsating thoughts which are of vital practical, as well as aesthetic interest. Realizing that theories must be tested to have validity, she is anxious to test the mettle of her ideas during her student teaching experience at C o u g h 1 i n High School beginning next week. In true scientific spirit, Mary Ann will further experiment with her educational theories when she embarks on her official teaching career next year, preferably in the suburbs outlying Philadelphia so that she can attend graduate school at one of the many universities in the City of Brotherly Love. To conclusively test her ideas and satisfy a lifelong desire, she hopes to teach in Europe in the not-toodistant future. . . In her capacity as pres1de_nt . of the Future Teachers Association at. Kingston High S~~o.o~, Mary Ann J witnessed the pos~1b1h~1e_s of . these groups for effective ha1son work between high school students, potential educators, and professional educators. While at Wilkes she has been a member of TDR, Senior class executive council as well as chairman of the senior class gift committee, and vice-president of the Education Club. In her evaluation of the Wilkes English Department, she found that not only are a wide variety of courses offered to the English major but also that instructors manifest genuine interest in the individual student. She views happily the recent seminar movement on campus, backed by both A WS and Dr. William Edgerton, as a stimulus to an informal relationship beEnglish Majors Form Club tween instructor and student from An organization meeting of the which both profit. newly-formed English Club, under the direction of Dr. Edgerton, will meet Tuesday in Pickering 203 at venient meeting time will be se11 a.m. to discuss future plans.

He will visit under the auspices of the American Association of Physics Teachers and the American Institute of Physics as part of a broad, nationwide program to stimulate interest in Physics. The program, now in its fifth year, is supported by the National Science Foundation. The American Association of Physics Teachers is one of the five member societies of the American Institute of Physics. Other member societies are: American Physical Society, Optical Society of America, Acoustical Society of America, and the Society of Rheology. Dr. Lazarus will give lectures, hold informal meetings with students, and assist faculty members with curriculum and research problems. Dr. D. P. Detwiler, Chairman of the Department of Physics at Wilkes is in charge of arrangements for Professor Lazarus's visit. Professor Lazarus, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, in 1949 came to the University of Illinois as an instructor, and in 1959 was made a full professor in the Department of Physics. His special interest at present is in solid-state physics and he is author of some 25 papers on this work, mainly in fields of intermetallic diffusion, imperfections in solids, and behavior of solids under high pressure. He also has been connected with military research in fields of electronics. Dr. Lazarus is a member of American Physical Society, American Association of University Professors, and Sigma Xi, and former member of American Society for Metals, and American Association of Physics Teachers. Jaycees Offer Variety to Prospective Members; Assembly on Agenda The Jaycees are making plans for their annual membership drive held in late March and early April. Prospective male members are required to make an application and appear before the assembled members of the club at a special evening meeting. The requirements for membership are a 2.0 or better average, and an active interest in school affairs, particularly the Jaycees. According to Robert Conway, membership chairman, the Jaycees offer the student a chance to develop his talents and abilities so he may more successfully serve his college and community. The Wilkes College Chapter of the Jaycees has the distinction of being the first unit of the Junior Chamber of Commerce on the collegiate level. This achievement has brought them nationwide recognition, Co n way stated. Some of the service projects completed by the Jaycees on campus have helped to beautify the college and the community. The most recent of these projects was the "Retreat Hospital Book Drive" by which the Jaycees acquired some two hundred books for that institution. To help stimulate voters last November the Jaycees sponsored a "Get Out and Vote Campaign." In conjunction with the Greater Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce, the campus Jaycees held a campaign on February 4, 5, and 6 to help bring the 1963 Pennsylvania State Jaycee Convention to Wilkes-Barre. Future plans for members of this organization include sponsoring an assembly.program at which William Johnson, _president of the State Junior Chamber of Commerce will speak; attending the Pennsylvania Jaycee Convention at Allentown in May; holding a bake sale; the annual awards banquet; and ushering for the June graduation exercises. For further information regarding the club, their activities or their coming membership drive, see Robert Conway, or any of the members. Ame,rican Scholars Get Educational Assists As Communities Dig Deep A rapidly-spreading idea to raise "dollars for scholars" is offering American communities a new ap•p roach to the problem of providing scholarships for deserving students. In an article in the March Reader's Digest, Robert O'Brien tells how more than 100 towns and cities are using "home-grown" scholarships to help bright, needy students gain a foothold in college. "Dollars for Scholars" - more formally known as the Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of America - is the brainchild of Dr. Irving A. Fradkin, a Fall River, Mass. optometrist. Concerned because lack of finances was keeping many bright youngsters out of college, Dr. Fradkin in 1958 convinced skeptical Fall River leaders to launch a community scholarship drive. Contributions came from sales of one-dollar "memberships," from religious, civic and business groups, from working men and students. Some $4500 was collected and awarded to 24 outstanding high school seniors. T y p i c a 1 Citizens' Scholarship Foundation gr an ts are small, usually around $250 a year. They are designed to help a youngster get established rather than to pay his way. The success of the Fall River program has spread to other communities in a way that delights Dr. Fradkin. He estimates that by next June there will be more than 100 CSF chapters in 30 states, awarding 1500 scholarships with a total value of $750,000. All C$F scholarships are "no strings attached" gifts although recipients are encouraged to repay the funds if and when they can. As education costs continue to soar and as a college education is more and more the key to a rewarding career, the CSF idea offers every community an exciting opportunity to increase its stake in its own future and that of its young people. As Dr. Fradkin puts it: "It's the communities themselves that stand to gain the most. Year after year, they will be enriched by the return of young men and women they've helped through college." Sorority Plans Tea For Senior High Students The second tea sponsored by Theta Delta Rho Sorority for senior high school girls will be held Wednesday afternoon, March 14, in McClintock Hall from two to five o'cloek. This tea will be held for all girls from the eastern section of Wyoming Valley who either plan to enter Wilkes in September or who desire to acquaint themselves with the campus social atmosphere. Invitations have also been issued to Wilkes faculty and the dormitory housemothers. The women of TDR will act as hostesses and all members are urged to attend. TDR members have planned decorations in accordance with a Saint Patrick's Day theme and will serve refreshments and provide varied entertainment in an attempt to create an informal party atmosphere conducive to friendly conversation. Chairman of the affair is Mary Moritz, who will be assisted by the following: Paula Mesaris, Rosemary Hagel, refreshments; Judy Sisco, Jerry Baird, decorations; An- Shown above are members of Cue and Curtain who will appear in "The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden" next week at Chase Theater.

Don Jacoby lo Appear on Campus Wednesday in Brass Clinic Usual directing procedures will be reversed next W e d n e s d a y through Saturday at 8 p.m., when two members of Cue and Curtain Society, Stephen Schwartz and Emily Weinberg, direct two oneact plays, The American Dream and The Happy Journey To Trenton and Camden. Since education as well as entertainment is a goal of Cue and Curtain, Schwartz and Miss Weinberg will have the opportunity to learn more thoroughly another aspect of the theater. The student direction will be under the supervision of Mr. Alfred Groh, Cue and Curtain dramatic coach. Stephen Schwartz, senior English major, will direct the biting comedy, The American Dream, which is, according to its author, Edward Albee, "an examination of the American scene, an attack on the substitution of artificial for real values in our society, and a condemnation of complacency, cruelty, emasculation and vacuity; it is a stand against the fiction that everything in this slipping land of ours is peachy-keen ... " Thornton Wilder's The Happy Journey To Trenton And Camden is a light, satirical comedy that presents both realistically and symbolically, a father, mother, son, and daughter attempting a "happy" journey. Of this play Mr. Groh says, "The frequent productions of this play have amply proved its success in creating illusions. It is a telling example of the author's i n g e n u i t y in stimulating the viewer's imagination to supply scenery and properties on a stage bare of everything but chairs." The play is directed by Miss Weinberg, a sophomore mathematics major. Casts have been selected for both plays. The American Dream will star Ruth Friedlander as "Mommy," David Fendrick as "Daddy," Joan Pitney as "Gra'ma," Pat Chapracki as "Mrs. Barker," and David S. Peters as the "young man." The Happy Journey To Trenton and Camden stars Stephen Panken as "Elmer," Marsha Hefferan as "Ma Kirby,'' Lynne Maslanka as "Caroline," Ray Gleason as "The Author," Walter Dexter as "the stage manager," and Sieglinde Vallot as "Beulah." Bob Dew and Jim Stanton are stage managers for both productions, Ed Lipinski and Mindy Weinberg are in charge of lighting, and Arthur Palencar is art director.

The new approach, emphasizing engineering science, "calls for an unusual degree of imagination on the p a rt of instructors." Teachers need both academic and practical experience in both science and engineering, and they need "an unusually fortunate freedom for creative faculty endeavor." 2. Students emerging from new programs may not be adequately prepared for "the team effort which the profession of engineering must represent." They may be too specialized, able only to move toward one of several possible goals. 3. How can all the material which today's students need be covered in a four-year curriculum?

What's wrong with the Colonels? Although never engulfed in an air of invincibility the Colonels have always been respected on the hardwoods as a very formidable team. Basketball fans from all ends of the Valley adopted the team and learned to cheer, cheer for old Wilkes. In recent games the cheers have become mingled with an occasional catcall, for Wilkes was running into trouble. But even though some fans were able to drop lightly the deterioration of Wilkes basketball, no one was prepared for this season's humiliation. Last week's loss to Scranton was the seventeenth of the season - a record for ineptitude unmatched in the school's history. So what is wrong with Wilkes? The answer: plenty. And no one knows it better or more bitterly than Coach Ed Davis, a dejected mentor who weighs his words as though measuring out a prescription. As a youth growing up in nearby Plymouth, Davis learned his basketball in winning doses. From 1950 to 1954 he was a sturdy and aggressive guard on some of Wilkes' solid teams. In 1955 Davis took over the reins of the Wilkes squad and continued with the team in its winning ways as head coach. Throughout the first five years of his mentorship Davis was greeted by a well-balanced crop of athletes from which to form his team. George Morgan, Carl Van Dyke, George Gacha, Fran Mikolanis, and Bernie Radecki are just a few of the men who graced his squads. Although he loyally denies the fact, Davis was shocked by the poor material he inherited this season. Not only was the squad weak in natural ability, but it did not measure up to Davis' stiff standards in fundamentals of passing and rebounding. Last year Davis bravely managed a 7-14 record. This year, with only one freshman of varsity caliber out for the squad, Davis was hit by a numbing series of injuries, including the loss for the season of Dick Morgan, the scrappy field-general of the team. While teams of the past would have found new 'stars' chafing on the bench, this season the bench was bare. But the trouble with Wilkes basketball is far more basic than sidelined stars. When Coach Davis was asked for an answer he fiddled with a pencil and painfully answered, "Time changes many things." . One of the changes is the fact that far fewer local basketball stars automatically long to go to Wilkes. Too many other colleges with bright new reputations are making too many good offers. Rival recruiters score points by warning boys of the high scholastic standards at Wilkes and the "lack of campus life" while dangling full scholarships within their grasp. After one mauling of Wilkes this season, a Hazleton fan remarked, "I don't mind so much losing but to have local products furnish the victory margin for the opponents is too much." Brain vs. Brawn - More important the administration is determinedly hauling up the college's academic standards and sees no reason to grant exceptions to athletes. There are dozens of good basketball players who want to come to Wilkes that can't even be considered. Thus the price of academic progress is athletic trouble. Luckily for Coach Davis he is not measured by any nostalgic calculus of wins, losses, and league championships, but only by the spirit of his team. Davis himself claims to be optimistic about the future, feeling this year's team is just the shell of the team he is going to have. With the ideal of there will always be a segment of qualified students who are good players, he hopefully eyes the future. The poem reads, "Somewhere the sun is shining," ~nd w~o knows, with scoring leader Harvey Rosen back for his senior year and crafty Dick Morgan back in one playable piece, the sun may shine on · Wilkes basketball next year. Chances are Davis, caught between a tough schedule and tough academic standards, may be able to produce an occasional good season, but the golden days of Wilkes basketball are likely to be gone forever.

This brought the final mark for the Colonel hooosters to three wins and seventeen losses. Against Rutgers the old nemesis of first half blues had the outcome of the contest shakv as the Camden club grabbed a 37-31 margin at intermission. John Moore and Harvev Rosen each hit for 12 in the initial half to keep the Wilkesmen in contention. Second half action found the Colonels showin~ their extra spurt as thev outraced their taller opnonents to a tune of 36-21. Rosen continued his fine plav in the second stanza with 14 points while Don Mattey made his finale with a ten point performance. 'Doc' Vosheski aided the locals with his ballhawking tactics for eil?ht points. This marked the last garne in a Blue and Gold uniform for Tom Pugh, Don Mattey, John Moore, Paul Aquilino. All four stalwarts are seniors and will receive their sheepskins in June. Scalp The Warriors Last Saturday evening the Colonels ambushed the Warriors of East Stroudsburg State College in the South Franklin Street gym finale, 85-72. The visitors came to town with a well-publicized fastbreaking team that was famous for running its opposition into the ground. The opening minutes found the Warriors living up to their press clippings as John Polanchak and Russ Hopewell set up Scott Weaver with sharp passes for five quick baskets. After the Teachers took an early lead the Colonels began to chip away at the margin w:ith Harvey Rosen tossing in jump-shots from all angles of the floor. At the half the Davismen were down by a scant two points, 39-37. Again the second half spurt carried the Blue and Gold to victory as they rattled off seven straight baskets before the visitors could score. Rosen combined a 26 point first half with 17 counters in the second . stanza to hit his all-time high and a season's high of 43 points. John Moore tallied 18 points against the Warriors as Tom Pugh and Doc Vosheski combined for 17. Will Ripfly led the Warriors with 22 points while Scott Weaver hit for 18. Tom Pugh turned in a yeoman's job in holding Jack Murphy to a scant eight points, twelve below his average. 18 W.

Would he be the highest scorer? Would he be the top rebounder, the player with the best assist average, or the chief holler-guy? Professional's yardstick, fashioned by the experts through experience, is the following: The most important player to a team is the one it can least afford to lose. Typifying this ideal on hardwoods across the nation are key personnel such as Chet Walker of Bradley, Utah's Bill McGill, three-time All-American Jerry Lucas and John Havelick of powerful Ohio State, and fiarvey Rosen of Wilkes. . Harvey Rosen These players. are prime examples of the basketeers who will grace the All-American teams that will hit the sports front in the near future. Each player is a star. Each player is the backbone of his team with his scoring thrust and floor play, but hidden in the glamour of the h e a d l i n e s is the s t r o n g e s t characteristic each player possesses teamwork. Lucas is currently leading the nation's best in goal percentage as he would rather set up a teammate than take the shot himself. Havelick is the "big defender" for the Buckeyes while Walker is the floorman for the Braves. On the local scene is Harvey Rosen. The six-foot junior has been the scoring leader for the Colonel cagers for the past two years and last year ruled the nation from the foul-line with a phenomenal .910 percentage. This season the lanky guard "slumped" to 88 per cent accuracv from the charity line to lead the MAC and rank with the nation's leaders. PITCHERS, CATCHERS In his last two outings Rosen CALLED TO PRACTICE Coach Mike Dydo has announced scored 69 points with 43 and 26 that baseball practice for pitchers and catchers will begin this afternoon, at 4:00 in the gym.

MAIN ST. + Rosen Named Week's ''Athlete''; Guard Leads MAC al Foul Line point outbursts. These scoring surges led the Wilkesmen to impressive v i c t o r i e s over East Stroudsburg and Rutgers of South Jersey. This season Rosen hit 152 goals and 128 fouls for a 432 point total. This gave the Ashley Hall resident a 21.3 point per game average. In addition to playing the "scoring thrust of Wilkes", Rosen pulled in 116 rebounds and was credited with an · unscored amount of assists. · · Since the _underlying characteristic of hoop greatness is teamwork, many instances of Rosen's qualities could be written. One of the most recent was during Saturday's upset of Stroudsburg where Rosen was enjoying the best offensive show of his career. With 37 points tucked under his belt and a hot hand on the ball, coach Davis gave orders to set up "the Rose". Harvey rebelled and instead showed a plan of attack where he would sacrifice points to act as a decoy for his teammates. For his outstanding play and teamwork the Beacon sports staff congratulates Harvey Rosen as this issue's "Athlete of the Week' r and wish him continued success.

Second row: Dave Intramural Hoop Loop Nears End; Playoff Berths Still Available With the standings still uncertain and every team eligible for a playoff berth the Intramural League hoopsters head into the last week of competition. The Serutans head the American League with an unblemished record while the Faculty Five head the race for National League honors. The play showed lots of spark in recent games with two contests being decided in the closing moments by sharp shooting and the usual runaway a feature in another game. American League action between the Serutans and the Heads found the two squads going into three overtimes before the Serutans grabbed a scant one-point victory. Lee Wasilewski, the moose of Moosic, and Len Yoblonski led the victors with 18 and 10 point outbursts. The winners played without Phil Russo who was sidelined with a case of evening-classitis. Joe Bond and Tom Carver led the Heads with 23 points between them. In a National League cliff-hanger the Jets buzzed a last minute goal through the nets to edge Gore Hall, 45-44. Johnny Lore, who led the Jets with 18 counters, was the missileman for the victors as his jump shot ripped the nets with only two seconds remaining. John Adams, with an assortment of hook shots and jumpers, led the Goremen with 18 points while Tom Trosko of the Jets and Gore's Larry Gubanich each scored 10. In the biggest runaway of the evening the Shawneeites got back on the winning track after dropping a decision to Serutans by scalping the Biology Club, 78-22. Dick Bellas and Ray Frey led the Biomen with 14 points between them while the Indians from Plymouth sertt five men in double figures. Matt Himlin led the attack with 21 points while John Tensa, Barry Bryant, Stan 'Tosh' Karmilovich, and Tom Lewis scored heavily in the rout.

CAMPUS HUMOR from the "Readt1r's Digest" The police notified a woman that her husband was perched on the 12th-story ledge of a midtown hotel, threatening to commit suicide. The wife raced to the hotel. While police held her outside the window, she pleaded with her distraught husband not to jump. "You have so much to live for," she told him. "The car isn't paid for, the TV isn't paid for, even the freezer isn't paid for." lady was gay and sparkling. "You see?" said the psychiatrist. "That's all your wife needs, I suggest she receive the same treatment every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday." "If you say so," said the husband. "But there's one hitch. I can bring her on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but on Saturdays I play golf." 'PIUlltut•: IOSTON, LOS ANGELES LONDON * * • The latest wrinkle on coast-tocoast flights is full-length movies.

The Wilkesmen will be looking for their sixth consecutive crown in the tourney but are expected to find lots of strong competition in the race. Leading the Blue and Gold grapplers into the tournament will be defending 123-pound titlist Brooke Yeager who won "Outstanding Wrestler" laurels last year. Brooke has been undefeated this season and will carry a long skein of winning matches into the competition. Lee Wolfe of Lycoming is e:icpected to give the Colonels' pride and joy the stiffest competition for the crown. Ted Toluba will be one of the top contenders for the 177-pound title as the Colonels' captain has retained the winning ways of his freshman year when he reigned in the l57-pound class. Rounding out the Wilkesmen in the tourney are Tom Gladtke in the 137-pound competition, Dave Puerta in the 130, freshmen Bob Ziegler and John Gardner at the 147 and 157-pound posts, 177-pound Bob Herman, and Jim Brunza in the heavyweight division. The top competition for the Wilkes matmen for the team title is reportedly coming from Bucknell, who just completed an undefeated season; Moravian, Lycoming, and Hofstra. The Colonels will be out to uphold the tradition that has carried them to five consecutive MAC championships under their able coach, John Reese. Past seasons have found the Colonels ruled out of contention because of the "green" squads but the grunt and groan squad has always found the extra spark to end the tourney as "kings. of the MAC mats". Last Saturday afternoon Coach Reese's grapplers closed out the dual meet season by presenting Gettysburg College with a 27-3 defeat in their home gym. The Bullets came through with only one decision as they were outclassed by the well-coached Colonels. After Brooke Yeager won on forfeit, Dave Puerta turned in an 11-7 decision over Ron Kline in a fast-moving bout. Dave used a number of take-downs to gain the victory. At 137 pounds Tom Gladtke enabled his team to take a 13-0 lead as he also won on forfeit. John Gardner followed with a 3-2 verdict over Gettysburg's Ray Bushnell. The match was not particularly exciting with each wrestler displaying evident respect for the other's ability. , The only fall of the afternoon was executed by Bob Ziegler as he applied a cradle hold to pin his opponent in 6 :35 minutes. Bob has been a consistent p e r f o· rm e r throughout the season and this match was an example of his mat prowess. Ted Toluba followed Ziegler to the mat and came up with a 7-1 nod over his able opponent. Ted rolled up an early margin and had his adversary in trouble a number of times. In the 177 pound division, Bob Herman was edged by Joe Young of the Bullets, 4-3. Bob was in the bout all the way and, according to a number of people who witnessed the clash, was the victim of inferior officiating. Jim Brunza closed the meet with a 3-1 decision over Herb Shriner of the Bullets. Jim outmuscled his heavier foe to fashion the win. The matmen, by this victory over Gettysburg College, ended the season with a record of four wins, two losses, and two ties. �WILKES 'COLLEGE 6 Ballet Guild lo Present Annual Performance al Irem Temple by Mary Alice Gabla The Wilkes-Barre Ballet Guild will present its annual performance Saturday, March 17 at the !rem Temple, North Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre.
