PENNSYLVANIA Vol. XXVI, No. 18 Jazz Concert Tickets FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1962 Donkeys Try for Fourth Straight Win Changes in General Curriculum Proposed by Education Committee Stiff-legged Dynamite Explodes Thursday As Faculty Meet Students r Dr. Harold Thatcher, chairman of the General Education Committee, has announced changes in the general curriculum program of the college that have been drawn up by that body and are being presented to the faculty for its consideration. Prominent among the changes is the fact that many courses which were required for one semester have now been extended to two semesters. · This will provide a greater depth of knowledge of the subjects taken, and at the same time accomplish the purpose of the committee had in mind. This is to provide Wilkes students with a broader liberal education background than they now have. With more of this same background, their knowledge of a variety of subjects would be more nearly equal. The revisions include a "core program" in General Education.

Lore Hear ye, hear ye, - All budding literary geniuses and philanthropists, come to the aid of the Manuscript! With blithe confidence in the generosity of the students of Wilkes, the literary society is seeking contributions both literary and monetary. One-Act Plays Continue Tonight, Tomorrow at Theater Two one-act plays will be presented by Cue and Curtain tonight and tomorrow night in Chase Theater. The club's first offering for the spring semester will include "The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden" by Thornton Wilder and "The American Dream" by Edward Albee. Emily Weinberg, a sophomore elementary education major, directs "The Ha,p py Journey to Trenton and Camden" cast which includes Marsha Hefferan, Lynn Maslanka, Sieglinde Vallot, Ray Gleason, Steve Panken, and Walt Dexter. Lighting effects are by Mindy Weinberg. Directed by Steve Schwartz, a senior English major, the cast of "The American Dream" includes Ruth Friedlander, Joan Pitney, Pat Chapracki, David Fendrick, and David S. Peters. Lighting effects are by Edward Lipinski. Arthur Palencar is art director and Robert Dew and James Stanton are stage managers for both plays. · Student direction will be under the supervision of Mr. Alfred Groh, director of dramatics. Curtain time has been set for 8 p.m. Ellington Tickets on Sale Tickets are now on sale for the Junior Class Jazz Concert, featuring Duke Ellington and his orchestra, to be held in the Wilkes College gym at 8:30 p.m., Saturday, March 31. General admission tickets at $2 and reserved seat tickets at $3.50 can be ·p urchased t the Square Record Shop. Reservations can be made by calling VA 3-9003 or writing to Conrad Wagner, in care of Wilkes College. Literary and artistic contributions are being sought for this Spring's issue of the Manuscript literary magazine, a representative collection of the creative writing and art work on campus. Most authors and artists are not appreciated until they are residents of that "other world" but members of the "artistic elite" on campus can avoid this fate by publishing their work in the Manuscript and thereby reaping a bounty of widespread fame and admiration. March 15 is the deadline for submission of these artistic gems, according to Stephen Schwartz, Manuscript editor. In their efforts to present films that would not ordinarily be shown to the student body, Manuscript plans to present "Hiroshima, Mon Amour" on April 27. In the words of The Saturday Review of Literature, "No more genuinely moving motion picture has emerged in years." This combination love story, plea for peace pairs a French actress and a Japanese actor in the setting of Hiroshima. Placing matters in their proper perspective, the film paints both the individual German and Japanese soldier with soft brush pointing out that it is the blistering forces that sear and destroy life and that collect individual human lives into ranks of enemies that are to be hated. Since this film is not one of the regularly scheduled films, which are paid for by administration funds, the Manuscript staff is forced to solicit funds to cover the rental fee. • To accept donations from campus philanthropists wishing to exercise their art, Erin McCormack, chairman of the fundraising committee, will "man" a table in the cafeteria every Friday at noon. To further stimulate interest Joel Harrison and Dolores Amir ~II solicit the boys' and girls' dormitories respectively. In conjunction with their regular film program, Manuscript will offer "Rasho-Mon", a Japanese movie dealing with that fleeting entity, '61. Once again, the Faculty Flashes, led by Dr. Michelini and Dean of Men George Relston, will match their muleheads with those of the Student Stars, captained by Don Eller. The Flashes are a team of experts on qualities often found in mules. Besides Dr. Michelini and Dean Ralston, the faculty roster includes John Whitby, Robert Morris, Larry Weed, Francis Pinkowski, Al Zawadski, John Reese, and Girard Gaughan. Listed among the Student Stars are Rick Rees, Buddy Menaker, and Joe Shambe. Four members on each team, two forwards and two guards, get set under a basket, using the opposite basket as their goal. The players remain close to their scented burros until the ball is thrown into the middle of the floor. Once he receives the ball, a ,p layer must be mounted or holding the reins if he wishes to pass it or shoot a basket. No player is allowed to hold the ball for more than 15 seconds. Other than these four basic rules, anything goes since there are no out-of-bounds, time-outs, or fouls, and even the mules can exchange players. Jerry Shilanski, experienced muleteer, will give the play by play of the donkey classic. During intermiss)()n, while the mules are giving the players a rest, there will be a few surprises. Jim Jones, general chairman of the jackass extravaganza, is working with the Circle K Club to entertain a group of underprivileged children. The tickets for adults are 75 cents. Children under 12 will be admitted for 50 cents. Children's tickets will be sold only at the door. Assisting Jones are Ed Rogalski, publicity; Gail Roberts, Barbara Stevens, Fred Smithson, personnel; Jerry Shilanski, program; Alan Gubanich, technical arrangements; George Evancho, Roger Rymer, ticket sales; Rosemary Hagel, Sally Schoffstall, refreshments. Class Meetings Scheduled All classes will conduct compulsory meetings on Thursday at 11 a.m. Students should check the campus bulletin boards for announcements concerning the location of their particular class meeting. Truth, on Friday, March 16 at 7 p.m. in Stark 116. To further organize plans for both the movie and the forthcoming publication, the staff will meet next Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Pickering 101. All students interested in joining the Manuscript staff are invited to attend this meeting. �wn.n:s 2 EDITORIAL- Decision President Kennedy's reluctant decision to resume nuclear testing in the atmosphere has brought a wide variety of reactions from all comers of the world. In Japan, the foreign ministry issued a letter urging President Kennedy to "reconsider your present decision to resume testing." Britain and France, who had been consulted in advance by Kennedy, have officially indicated support of the decision. The official Soviet news agency, Tass, called the president's offer "a clumsy attempt to justify himself before the world." Here in the United States, the decision was also met with a variety of reactions. Many citizens have praised the president's move to resume on the grounds that our nation is falling behind Russia in the field of weaponry. Other groups have criticized Kennedy because of the threat to the health of the nation which may be involved. The president emphasized the fact that the decision was reached reluctantly and after a great deal of deliberation. Examination of the more than forty tests made by Russia last year revealed many technological advances made by the Soviets. We as a nation must be prepared to keep the peace, but we cannot allow ourselves to stand idly by while the Soviet Union makes advances in this all-important field. We must proceed cautiously in our efforts to reach a peaceful agreement, but these efforts must not endanger the security which comes as a result of being adequately prepared. The decision of the president must be evaluated by considering all aspects of the resolution. The question of a possible health hazard has been debated by the nation's scientists for some time. Some feel that it presents a serious threat to the health of our people. Others feel that the effects of the testing would present little or no menace. In any event, we cannot allow our fears to take pessession of our better judgment. Decisions such as the one made by Kennedy are necessary if we are to prove to ourselves and to the world that we are a nation to be respected. Korean War Orphan Adopted by Compassionate Girls of Sterling The Korean War of 1950-53 and the years that immediately followed left literally thousands of Korean children homeless, without fathers or mothers, and suffering from starvation and disease. Yoo Kyung Sook Obviously repulsive to States and tries. The such conditions were citizens of the United other civilized counquestion was, "What could be done?" Some people merely recognized the dilemma, while others decidde to do something about it. It is because of those, who decided to act instead of shaking their heads in dismay that an eleven-year-old Korean girl, who had lost both her parents, today has not one but 21 young mothers. Little Yoo Kyung Sook is undoubtedly very grateful to the residents of Sterling Hall who have adopted her and have agreed to he1p finance her education and life at the People Loving Christian Orphanage in Choonchun City, Korea. The girls decided a few weeks ago that they would like to do something worthwhile and found that through the Everett Swanson Evangelistic Association, Incorporated, they could sponsor a Korean orphan for as little as $8.00 a month.

This w~ek's subject for ~e Student Sk.~tch, senior chemistry ma1or David Edwards, certamly has an electric" personality. He has made, from old radios, speakers, and "junk" around the ho~e, a setr~o set that actuall}'.' works. It is not quite as professional looking as the conventional type since it has six old speakers and wires under rugs; nevertheless, it works. Dave's galvanic interest began when, this year, he assisted D~. Detwilt:r. of !he P~ysics de~ent,_ in a research project with electricity m solid state physics mcluding crystals and salts. The research was sponsored by the Air Force and will be a project worked on in the new graduate program within the next two years. David Edwards Although his interest in electricity began recently, evidences of Dave's "electric" personality may be found throughout his high school and college years. He was president of his senior class at Meyers High School, and vice-president of its student council. On campus he has been, for two consecutive years, vice-president of his class and president of the Chemistry Club, and a member of the male chorus. Recently he was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Dave says that he has enjoyed his college years and is looking for ward to, after graduation, continartists of the Town and Gown Concert Sunday afternoon at 3 :30 to be held at the Wilkes College gym. Both programs will feature Mozart's "Serenade No. 11, · K. 375" and Dvorak's "Serenade in D Minor, Opus 44". Members of the ensemble are Donald Jones, oboe; Edward Yadzinski and Robert Kundreskas, ued laboratory work in analytical chemistry. He hopes to do graduate work and perhaps teach on the college level. For this work he believes that he has been well prepared at Wilkes. "I have found that industry," he explained, "is satisfied with the background and experience we receive here. Then language and science backgrounds which I have received at the College are certainly, I believe, comparable to those of any other highcaliber college. "Wilkes has been experiencing 'growing pains' in several fields," he added. "The science departments, for example, have grown r8:pidly since my freshman year with the addition of buildings and equi.pment." D a v e enumerated several scientific additions in equipment which will help students beco~e aware of what industry is us 1 n g: spectragraphs, graph-recording instruments, and x-ray defraction units for crystal study. Indeed as important, or perhaps more important, than laboratory space and equipment is another advantage of the College: professor-student contact. Dave says that he prefers a small college because one realizes a closer relationship - both academically and non-academically - with his professors. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Edwards of Wilkes-Barre, Dave has been making "sparks fly" in the chemistry and physics labs for several years. Who knows? Perhaps he will soon "electrify the world" with some shocking discoveries. He could, for instance, add video to his stereo! clarinet; Robert Eike, bassoon; Donivee Miller, horn; William Zaykowski, trombone; and Ray Nutaitus, tuba. Messrs. Martin Friedmann and Lawrence Weed, members of the music faculty of Wilkes, will conduct the Orchestra Festival and the Town and Gown Concert, respectively. KAMPUS KAMERA What is your opinion of President Kennedy's decision to resume atmospheric nuclear tests? Pat Rossi, junior, elementary education major Under the existing world circumstances, I sincerely believe that President Kennedy had no other choice but to resume nuclear testing. I think that the United States has every right to continue nuclear testing, as long as we keep in mind the possible consequences of fallout and world dissension, and attempt to work within certain limited bounds. Jerome Krasa, senior, political science major I favored our resumption of atmospheric testing after the Soviet Union did so last Fall and felt that it was only a matter of time before the President would make the announcement he did last week. However, he showed his political skill in the intervening months by winning public support for his stand, even from such former opponents of testing as Dr. Hans , ,, Beta of Cornell. Alfonso S. Zawadski, Registrar I am in favor of immediate resumptiQn of nuclear testing. This forthright action will deter the Soviet leaders from further attempts to deceive us. As a nation, I believe we have finally matured when we realize that to conciliate the matter with the Soviets is futile. It is my- sincere hope that this action will sober the thoughts of the Soviet military officials thereby causing a rift between their military and political chiefs concerning aggression. Bronis Kaslas, Associate Professor of History It is regretable that the United States bas to resume the nuclear tests. The motives, as expressed in the President's speech, for resuming the tests are very serious, and, I believe, that this will contribute to the preservation of peace. Allowing Russia to acquire an absolute superiority in military technology would, I think, increase the dangers of war. �Friday, March 9, 1962 Ted Toluba Registers Four Pins To Capture 167-Pound MAC Tille As a result of his stunning victories to gain the 167-pound championship at the Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament at West Chester last weekend, Ted Toluba has been named Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament. Ted began his victory skein by pinning Kenny Beaman of Delaware in 4:55. Next came Sam Goldberg of Albright who was disposed of by Ted, using a cradle hold in 1:15. Ben Portinof of Bucknell provided the next challenge for Toluba, but succumbed to the Wilkes grappler's superior speed and ability in 2:04. WILXFS COLLEGE BEACON 3 Aquamen Finish Season At MAC Tournament; Injuries Hamper Team Malmen Dethroned al West Chesler; Gardner, Toluba Capture Titles by Kathy Thomas The mermen were represented in the MAC tourney at Gettysburg last week, and although they bowed to defeat, the swimmers gave their opponents a struggle never to be forgotten. Colonel aquamen in the tourney were John J. Miller and Ron Masters in the diving competition, and Gary Greaker in the 200-yard backstroke. In pre-season practice, prospects looked bright for the on-coming year, but during the season, the team was faced with disaster time after time. In the first meet, the mermen were winning when one of the better swimmers was disqualified and this forced Wilkes to a defeat. Gary Greaker, a strong backstroker, suffered a broken bone in his elbow, causing him to miss two important meets. The two team captains were also lost to the squad, due to school averages. Tom Troy, a sure pointgetter, dislocated his knee before the first meet; thus he, too, was lost to the team for the remainder of the season. The practice schedule of Wilkes' swimmers was restricted because of complications of their practice pool at the YMCA. These difficulties undoubtedly had some effect on this year's success of the team. However there were a few bright spots during the season. The team had set three new school records. In the 400-yard relay against Drexel, Gary Greaker, Dick Bender, Roger Rolfe, and John J. Miller lowered the record by two seconds. The time was 5:02.7 and reduced to 5:00. In the 50-yard freestyle against Harpur College, Jack Barnes cut the record of 25 :4 to 25 :3. In the backstroke, Gary Greaker broke the 200-yard recourse twice during the year. In the last meet of the season he reduced the record of 2:58.8 by 5 seconds, making a new time of 2 :53.5. Even though the mermen have not had the successful season expected by all fans, next year's TED TOLUBA meets might be more gratifying, For the past four seasons Ted especially since the team now has The finals found Ted matched with Swarthmore's Al W at 1 er. has been one of the stalwarts of three freshmen who stand high in After leading throughout the bout, John Reese's wrestling squad.

Chuck Robbins After five years of domination of Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling, the Wilkes grapplers were dethroned last Saturday by the Warriors of Lycoming College at the MAC tournament at West Chester. The Lycoming wrestlers, whom the Colonels defeated during the season in a dual meet, amassed 70 points to unseat the defending champions. Although the Colonels came out of the tourney with two individual champions, John Gardner at 147 pounds, and Ted Toluba at 167 pounds, they were able to account for only 37 points and were delegated to a fourth place tie with Hofstra. West Chester was runnerup in the tourney with 55 points while Bucknell came in third with 44.

Heavyweight - Warden, Drexel, pinned Brunza (W), 7:23. John Gardner Several key factors contribute to the fall of Wilkes from the apex of MAC wrestling. A disabling injury to Bob Ainsworth, 177-pound performer, who had been undefeated this season, created a vacuum in his weight class. It is ironic that the champion at 177 this year was Lycoming's Dave Fortin, whom Ainsworth had beaten soundly in this year's dual meet with the Warriors. Another factor in the Wilkes defeat was the failure of Brooke Yeager to secure his expected championship. Brooke got to the semi-finals by registering two falls. In the semi-final, however, he was decisioned, 8-2, by Don Hannon of Hofstra. The significance of this loss lies in the fact that Brooke defeated Hannon earlier this season. John Gardner turned in an outstanding effort in winning the 147pound title. John fashioned his victory through three decisions and one fall. The former West Side Catholic wrestler took a 5-4 time advantage decision from Bernie Coyle of Bucknell in the final to acquire the championship. Ted Toluba collected the Outstanding Wrestler award in winning the 167-pound title. (See "Athlete of the Week" story, this page.)

The play is scheduled to run five evenings with the champion being crowned on March 21. In late action the hoopsters of Warner Hall captured a cliffhanging victory over Barre Hall, 51-48, as Bob King tapped in two late baskets for the margin of victory. Barre held a fivepoint lead at the half but the Warnermen made a major comeback to score the win. Bud Menaker led the victors with 16 points as Gary Einhorn and Bob King combined for 17 points. Bill Douglas led the Barremen with 18 points. The Playboys kept their winning skein alive in American League play by downing the Hot Ashes, 69-41.

To date Sterling Hall has r eceived Yoo Kyung Sook's adoption papers, her .photograph, and an outline of her foot. A brief outline of her background was also r eceived by Sieglinde Vallot, the dormitory's secretary. Sieglinde r elated that the little girl and her sister were foun d roaming the streets by the superintendent of a religious home. She was only eight years old, her father had been killed during the war, and her mother had died of disease. Sieglinde described the little Korean girl as a cheerful and excellent student in the 6th grade at the So Yang Primary School. Her health is normal now and her favorite subject is the Korean language. She also has a talent for handiwork. Mrs. Mary Crawford and the girls from Sterling Hall have made plans to write letters and to send packages as often as possible to their adopted daughter. They expr essed a hope that the tradition they have -i nitiated be handed down from year to year until Yoo Kyung Sook is ready for college. If everything goes well she may someday live in Sterling Hall and walk up and down South River Street to and from her classes.

JOBS! . . . CAREERS! ... A JOB PIZZAJOE MANGANELLO'S Two sophomores and six freshmen were elected to class offices in recent balloting to fill positions vacated since last semester. In the sophomore class Al Gubanich, a secondary education major, was elected vice-president, and Richard Burns, a commerce and finance major, was empowered to represent the class on the Student Government. Freshmen chose three class officers and three Student Government representatives. The new class officers are: vice-president, Al Gilbert, a secondary education major; treasurer, Susan Epstein, an elementary education major; secretary, Sieglinde Vallot, a liberal arts major. Jo Signorella, an elementary education major; Mary Lee Vannoy, a history major; and Steve Paradise, a commerce and finance major, were chosen to represent the freshman class on the Student Government.

A CAREER The "New Eyes for the Needy Campaign", which is being conducted by the Economics Club, will continue until March 24. The campaign will aid a non-profit organization which services sixty-seven hospitals and clinics in the United States and in foreign countries. Last year the Economics Club collected three thousand, five hundred pairs of glasses for the organization. Solons Set Policies, Clarify Constitution, Create Minor Court Members of the Student Government made full use of their administrative power on Monday evening as they reviewed several new policies submitted by Mike Bianco. The policies, if adopted, would broaden the scope of Student Government action. The first policy permanently defines the much disputed term "recognized activity" as one whose constitution has been submitted to and approved by the Student Government, or, in the case of a campus activity with off-campus affiliates (A WS, CCUN), one whose constitution has been approved by the Student Government and the Administration. The second new policy deals with dispersal of funds by the Student Government. In distributing funds from the Extracurricular Activities Budget, the solons' new policy, which affects the Intercollegiate Conference Fund, a fund which provides for the partial sponsorship of student participation in off-campus conferences, would increase the $10 personal reimbursement to $15 per member per conference and would increase the total club reimbursement from $150 to $165 per year. As a part of the last policy submitted, the Student Government, sitting as a Committee of the Whole, would be empowered to act as a court, adjusting differences between students and faculty members without the aid of the Deans. Under this policy students would have the privilege of "judgment by their peers," and could take adverse decisions to the formal Court of Appeals of the Student Government. According to Ted Begun, junior Student Government representative, "The enactment of this policy would provide the first positive step t o w a r d a student-administered honor system." Tacked on to all policies submitted is a provision for the enforcement of all Stud!mt Government decisions by means of financial and social penalties. The solons, after hearing and reviewing the new policies referred them to committee for final revision. A collection box was placed in front of Pomeroy's Department Store in addition to those which have been placed on campus. Gold and silver articles, jewelry, and sunglasses are also being collected. The gold and silver is melted down and sold to the government; then the money is used for purchasing glasses for the needy. The Economics Club is contacting local eye doctors in order to locate discarded glasses. The lost and found departments of city department stores are also contacted as sources for the glasses. Members of the campaign committee are Andrew Serafin, Joseph Demarco, Rob e rt Chamberlain, William McIntyre, chairman; Joseph Barnard, Martin Schultz, Anthony Butsavage, Gordon Schneider.

Seminar Thursday, 8 p.m. Commons The Beacon WILKES COLLEGE Vol. XXVI, No. 19 "Censorship and Individual Responsibility" is the topic of the second seminar to be sponsored this semester by Associated Women Students. The seminar will be held Thursday evening at 8 p.m. on the second floor of the Commons. Joseph Kanner, member of the psychology department, will lead the discussion. The topic of censorship has become a co~troversal. iss1;1e. Many people feel it comes m direct conflict with democratic ideals. The Pennsylvania state government, for example, has abolished its censorship board, feeling that this responsibility can be left in the hands of the family unit and public opinion. State courts, however, made decisions on alleged obscenity in certain motion pictures and works f f' t· 0 ic ion. Public opinion has been responsible for certain forms of censorship in this community. Any students and faculty members who have opinion on this topic or are interested in the discussion are invited to attend. With this in mind, the need of government censorship can be questioned. If censorship is needed, to what extent should it be used, and in what way restricted. These, and other points, will be brought out at Thursday's seminar. Marine Corps Interviews To Be Held on Campus The Marine Corps Selection Officer Captain F. H. Mitchell, Jr. will be on campus Wednesday and Thursday to interview men and women students for the Marine Corps Officer training programs. In addition the Officer Selection Team will also be at the Commons to provide information and interview applicants. All Marine officer training is conducted at Quantico, Virginia. Qualified seniors who accept the challenge of Marine leadership training will be draft deferred upon enrollment until they have met the requirements for their degree and graduation. Upon graduation, they will attend a tenweek training course and then be commissioned. Qualified applicants may choose to go to Marine flight training, after commissioning, to win the coveted "Wings of Gold" of a Leatherneck pilot. Women applicants, with extensive background experience, may be guaranteed initial assignment to the field of their choice.

He was assisted by five parliamentarians. Legislative interests ran high at Sunday's meeting which was attended by approximately 200 members of ICG chapters from colleges in eastern Pennsylvania. Registration of the participating schools began Sunday morning followed by a meeting of the rules committee at which time bills from Cedar Crest College, Keystone Junior College, King's College, Kutztown State Collge, Lafayette College, Lehigh University, Lycoming College, Marywood, Hazelton Extension of Pennnsylvania State University, University of Scranton, Stroudsburg State College, and Wilkes College were docketed.

This is an eternal philosophical question which has troubled mankind from the Peking Man to the twentieth century moralists. Rasho-Mon, a Japanese film being presented tonight at 7 p.m. by the Manusccript Film Society, explores this rather abstract concept on the level of human action. Unfolding what seems to be at first a familiar tale, the film describes a brutal act-the waylaying of a merchant and his wife resulting in the murder of a merchant. Giving this time-worn plot a new twist, the crime is enacted four times from four different angles by the bandit, his wife, a witness, and the dead merchant through a medium. Comprehensive Fee Plan Approved by Board An increase in the annual comprehensive fee at St. Olaf College from $1575 to $1700 to become effective in September, 1962, has been approved by the college's Board of Regents. The increase will only affect students enrolling here for the first time and those few students on campus who did not attempt to take advantage of the college's optional four-year guaranteed cost plan. Approximately 75 per cent of eligible students elected the plan which protects them against cost increases. Present students under the plan will continue at annual fees which average $1575 per year. New students can elect to have the $1700 fee guaranteed for their four years. The guaranteed cost plan, introduced in December, 1960, as the college's effort to ease the effects of spiraling educational costs on parents and students, guarantees to the students who choose the plan that the comprehensive fee will stay the same throughout their college career. An increase in the college's financial aid program was also approved. In the academic year 196162 the aid program totaled $555,000 in scholarships, loans, part-time work and other forms of aid to 1,079 students. In 1962-63, the aid program will total $615,000 for 1,125 students. In weaving these four contradictory tales into an engrossing and intriguing film, Director Akira Kurosawa has employed both a sometimes ghostly camera work and a careful use of musical background to emphasize the violence and basal animalism of his characters.

One of the most evident to the watchful eyes of student leaders is the lack of participation in collegiate activities by the students in general. Many members of the senior class are away from campus a good part of the time in connection with special studies in their major field. In addition to this, however, we have noted that general student cooperation seems to have reached a low. A reminder is in order here that although we are rapidly approaching the end of another year, the time for a vacation has not yet come. We still have an important responsibility to fulfill to our fellow students and to our college in the form of participation in college-sponsored activities. The Beacon. like many other campus organizations, joins in a renewed plea for student assistance in all extracurricular projects. Learning from Other Cultures Boston University's College of Liberal Arts has announced that a Greek major language sequence has been instituted and revived in the college curriculum. According to a spokesman for the university, the revival has been sparked by the National Defense Education Act and a broad general feeling that Americans are backward linguistically. Recognition of a lack of understanding of our own language and of the benefits which can be gained through the study of another language is a step forward in the development of the American mind. The university spokesman also pointed out that people who have sudied translated versions of the classics in great books courses are now anxious to read the original. The addition of this sequence at Boston University vividly points out that there is virtually no limit to which educational advancement may go. There is much to be gained from a knowledge of civilizations of the past as well as from present-day cultures other than our own. We as Americans have come to realize that although our culture is superior in many ways, there is still much to be done to maintain this superiority in a world of nations that are ever striving to make advancements. Harvard Freshmen Prove Capable Of Holding Own in Seminar Group In his annual report, released recently, President Nathan M. Pusey of Harvard University points out that "the fact that the incoming Harvard . College ·student is now better prepared and motivated than was his counterpart a decade or more ago has resulted in a variety of changes in the instructional program and related activities of the College. These changes have come about gradually, often without central planning, but taken together they illustrate a new, exciting, and flexible pattern in undergraduate life. Who would have forecast, thirty years ago, for example, that the customary Freshman Week could feature lively student discussion of C. P. Snow's 'The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution,' based on an interchange of views by Professors MacLeish and Wald? Or who would have foreseen the series of smaller meetings at which freshmen heard, over cider, a variety of other Harvard luminaries talk about books, music, and art along avenues suggested by an optional summer reading list? Yet these things happened a year ago and this last fall. In addition, the college continued the popular system of credit seminars designed to draw new students into some• what less formal, more personal relationships with mature scholars than is .p ossible in the traditional courses offerings. In its second year of trial, this scheme attracted 300 students into 36 seminars. Another innovation was the division of the freshman class, for advising and counseling, into five geographically convenient dormitory groups of 200 to 250 students each, roughly comparable to 'Houses.' Each group has a Senior Adviser and a number of other advisers. Each group, too, has a common (continued on pace 8) WHAT - WHERE - WHEN Manuscript Film, "Rascho-Mon" - Stark 116, Tonight, 7-9 .p.m. Sophomore Class Dance--Gym, Tonight, 9 p.m. Wilkes-Barre Ballet-Irem Temple, Saturday, 8 p.m. Beacon Staff Meeting-Pickering 101, Tuesday, 12:15 p.m. Assembly, William D.

In his book, One For A Man, Two For A Horse, Gerald Carson reviews the story of symptom counting and self-treatment down through the generations. Hnudreds of rare pictures and captions tell the story of a spectacular industry of home cure which shrouded its patent medicines (for man and beast) in secrecy and advertising.

Friday, March 16, 1962 A great honor has been bestowed upon Michael Bianco in having been the first Wilkes College student to have been accepted by the Peace Corps. After taking the competitive examination, Mike has fufilled the reqirements for becoming a Peace Corpsman. He reported that he has been given his preference of going to Africa. As Mike stated, "I like the African people, and I feel that these countries need the most aid from the United States. It presents the greatest challenge to me." Even though Mike has been accepted, he is not certain that he will enter the Corps. It is understandable since he has also been accepted by graduate school and law school. Whatever Mike selects t~ do, _it will be toward fulfilling his desire to make a career in public service and government. In preparing for his career, Mike has had .p lenty of experience in government work. On campus, he has been a student government representative for the past three years se:"ing as Vice-President this year'. His work has been beneficial to both the students and the organization. Last year, he initiated the work in formulating the evaluation committee on extracurricular activities. From his own observations, he commented that it is the students' fault if they do not receive proper representation, in which students Michael Bianco with ability can be elected. As Mike stated, ."This can be carried over to public offices as well. The TRES CHIC people are at fault if there is graft and mismanagement of government.'' Mike would like to see the Student Court developed in order that the students would eventually have complete jurisdiction over themselves. Another change which by Maryann Wilson Mike desires is an alteration of the i:eople who work in retailing are campus drinking policy which resigned to think of themselves as would add more to the student reSaturday's children, forced by cus- sponsibility.

While it is true that in the few short years of its existence the college has been able to acquire, both through gifts and outright purchases, extensive property holdings, the school is still in its relative infancy. Changes and improvements in its existing holdings, along with several proposed acquisitions, are planned for the future. These · changes are designed to beautify, as well as add to the value of, the physical side of the school and to create a "true campus" on which the intellectual side can develop more fully. Although many of these improvements will not be completely accomplished for several years, they are awaited with a keen sense of anticipation. Of course, far more is being done than merely waiting. These plans are being implemented as fast as opportunities and resources permit. Such development has not gone, and really cannot go, unnoticed. City Council, in planning for the redevelopment of the city, is vitally interested in whatever plans are being made by the college as to its future expansion. The Council recognizes the contributions that the college makes to the community's economy, intellectually and socially as well as financially. However, it must, of necessity, also 'Preserve as much taxable property within the central city business district as possible. This is the most lucrative taxing district in any city and much of such property in Wilkes-Barre has been removed from the tax rolls in recent years as the two city colleges have expanded toward central city. Faced with reconciling the need for this growth with the future needs of the city itself, Council solved the dilemma by creating in its Zoning Ordinances a classification titled "Special Purpose Districts." Under this plan, Wilkes' future growth will be channeled in a direction to the south of central city. This -p lan precludes the college from expanding any further into central city. It does not, however, mean that the college must relinquish any of its present holdings. In fact, Dr. Farley explained to Council that the college contemplates retaining all its present properties in the city. This is necessary, he said, if the college is to meet the demands that will be placed upon its facilities in a few years as the -p ost-World War II "baby-boom" reaches college age. The first phase in the college's southward expansion will be the construction of the proposed dormitory on land that the college hopes to obtain in the general area of Wright and South Streets. With the completion of this facility, set for September 1963, the dormitory capacity will be increased by 250 rooms and will also provide for new eating facilities. Many other ·p lans are being made for the next several years in the continuing program of developing the college. However, final details on some of these are still tentative and will be announced as they are made definite. STUDENT SKETCH (continued from pace 2) than to benefit the organization. Having been a commuter, he realizes that they often do not have the time. He also said, "In fact, some clubs do not offer appealing programs to get the student to join." In addition to his other achievements, Mike has been named -t o the Dean's List and to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. He has been Northeastern Regional Director while he was a member of I.C.G., and he served as chairman for -t he Court of Appeals in his sophomore year. Private Citizens Urged To Support Kennedy In Fight Against Crime After one year in office, Attorney General Robert Kennedy and his staff of young, idealistic lawyers are moving toward a showdown with major league crime. But victory over the barons of gangsterdom will depend equally on millions of "average citizens" who until now have shown alarming willingness to go along with organized crime. In an article in a recent Reader's Digest which makes these points, Lester Velie details some of the frightening influences wielded by Big Crime, which reaches its tentacles into business, labor, and just about every other segment of our society. The "take" from gambling alone, for example, is between 10 and 15 billion dollars yearly. Kennedy is changing things as much as 'Possible. He has pulled together talent from 20 government agencies, has them cooperating instead of competing as they once did. He has built a national anti-crime force led by his own staff of 53 brilliant young lawyers, who serve at salaries just about equal to those of skilled construction workers. Among the significant accompishments of these crime fighters is the first f u 11 y comprehensive "Who's Who in Big Crime," with complete dossiers on some 600 crime chieftains. But the Digest article warns that Kennedy's work can be robbed of much effectiveness if the average citizen continues to ignore or to gloss over organized crime. Maybe you don't think of yourself in these terms. But consider for a moment. Have you ever placed a bet with a bookie? If so, you're encouraging crime. You are, indeed, a co-conspirator in a crime. Do you take an active part in politics? Crooks do. They spend approximately fifteen per cent of the total sums contributed to all state and local election campaigns. It is only when each of us refuses to accept crime as "just one of those things" and takes an active role in helping to stamp it out that we will be clearly on our way to smashing it for good. Bob Kennedy and his staff are doing their part. Are you doing yours ? Bio-physicist Suggests Study of Mind's Mysteries EVANSTON, ILL. (IP)-Biophysicists, now scattered among many departments at universities, should get together for an organized attack on the mysteries of "the most complex and wonderful phenomenon available to scientific investigation, the mind itself." This was the challenge thrown out by MIT Biophysicist Francis 0. Schmitt in a recent lecture at Northwestern University. While bio-physicists have prospects "thrilling and challenging beyond (those) of any previous period in the history of science," they are nevertheless in too many scattered lications on American campuses, he asserts. In such centers should be located "the most expensive hardware and specialized technicians" needed for the most advanced research. And if well-planned, such research centers result in cross-fertilization of ideas and backgrounds, have the William D.

The heavy artillery of the West Pittston corps proved too strong for the undermanned Serutan squad. Wruble and Foy registered 34 points between them for the Heads as Len Yoblonski proved to be the whole Serutan offense with 29 points. After dropping a much-disputed 61-60 decision to the Playboys in regular season play, the Shawneeites proved the fast-breaking guerrilla tactics superior with a 50-39 victory. "Tosh" Karmilovich ripped the opponent's defense for 24 points while Matt Himlin added 10 to the winning cause.

Teams interested in participating in the intramural softball league this year are asked to turn their rosters in to Mr. Reese at the gym. The league will start as soon as the weather breaks, and information on the number of teams expecting to enter the competition is needed to form a schedule. j Matthew Himlin With one eye on the ball and the other anxiously watching the skies for signs of outdoor practice weather, the 1962 edition of the Colonel baseball team began indoor workouts in the gym last Monday afternoon under the tutelage of Head Coach Mike Dydo. The hopeful candidates, numbering in the twenties, are using the indoor sessions to learn the basics of base running but are eager to get to the Wilkes field diamond to make their bid for a starting berth. Top holdovers from last year's squad are Matt Himlin, Lou Zampetti, and Paul Aquilino. Himlin played his first year of intereollegiate ball last year and ended the season among the MAC top batters. The cagey leftfielder is a "spraytype" hitter and should be a valuable leadoff man for the Colonels. Third baseman Lou Zampetti will be counted on to furnish the "power" in the lineup.

This vast network of power is a reality today because the forward-looking, business-managed electric industry planned it that way. And now, even greater facilities are under construction or on the drawing boards, to secure the nation's power future for many years ahead. Over the next 20 years electric utility companies will be spending more than $143 billion for construction of facilities. This money will come, not from taxes but from voluntary investment by individuals who have faith in the performance of an industry which has always been ready to meet all power demands . . . which has continuously contributed to a higher standard of living at progressively lower cost. men a longball threat. Aquilino will be ending his collegiate career this season and early indications show it should be a highly successful year. "Ack" will be the first sacker after patrolling the outfield the past three years. Returning to take their place on the mound will be veterans Bob Fleming, Joe Krucek, Nick Alesandro, and Mike Schwefel. These pitchers will have a veteran receiving corps of Len Yonkoski and Ken Ludmer to back up their "fastballing". Leading first year candidates are 'Doc' Vosheski, Tom Trosko, and Len Rishoski. Vosheski is a slickfielding second baseman who led the Newport Twp. nine into Valley finals last year. Looming as a topnotch shortstop candidate is Tom Trosko, a scrappy ex-Plains High diamondman who may team with Vosheski to give the Colonels a very effective double-play combination. Rishoski is a 'dark horse' candidate for the catching chores of the Colonels. 'Big Len' starred as a 'junior Yogi Berra' while serving with the U.S. Army. The top candidate for the centerfield post is veteran Bill Mulford. He covered the center grasses for the Dydomen in the closing games of last season and did a very formidable job. Opening action for the squad will be April 3 when they travel to Muhlenburg to meet the Mules in an exhibition game. $ PENNSYLVANIA ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION 20 Independent, Investor-Owned Electric Companies of Pennsylvania "Even back in Grampa's time there was something to make ,-ou sleep ••• they called it work." �'Friday, March 16, 1962 WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON Major League Oulcomes Predicled By Group of Assorled Experls CAGERS TOP M.A.C.

The Wilkesmen sank 244 shots of 309 attempts in 14 games to register the league-leading average. Harvey Rosen, for the second consecutive year, proved himself "King of the Free-Throw Line" in the MAC. He tossed in 76 of 87 attempts for a percentage of .873. Bob Fleming and John Moore also ranked among the top ten foul shooters in the same division with .818 and .781 percentages respectively. In individual scoring, Rosen also placed high in the ranks by coming in fifth with a 19-8 average. He summed up a grand total of 278 points, falling behind the first ·p lace scorer by only 94 points, a mere total when comparing individual scoring for an entire season with all the colleges in the MAC recordings. . John Moore again won recognition by placing eleventh with an average of 16.7, aided by his 218 total number of points scored. Another Davisman placed in the top twenty-five leading scorers by totaling 180 points for an average of 13.8. Bob Fleming was listed as the twentieth place ·p layer in individual scoring. . The Wilkes basketball team has proved itself a great and promising contender in the -hoop league, with strength and determination the main factors. by the poll. These were leading batter, most home runs, runs batted in, and Most Valuable Player. The other department voted upon was that of leading pitcher and, although there was concerted effort from various lobby groups about campus, we just couldn't convince Mr. Mantle that he was a ·p itcher. The honor, however, did go to a teammate of his, Whitey Ford. Individual leaders in the Senior Circuit created quite a bit of discontent and general indignance ( especially from the Goldwater Camp) among the participants in the poll although physical violence was averted through the skillful arbitration and good offices provided by the women of TDR. Selected to lead the league in batting is Henry Aaron of the Braves followed closely by Roberto Clemente of the Pirates. RBI honors will go to Orlando Cepeda of the Giants after a close contest with Aaron. Cepeda is also designated to be the home run king of the circuit. The honor of Most Valuable Player will go to ·p erhaps the best all-around player in modern baseball, Willie Mays, the colorful centerfielder of the Giants. The leading pitcher will be the perennial Warren Spahn. As one might easily discern, a good deal of research and contemplation has gone into the forming of the above predictions and they should be looked upon as a hallmark in the annals of the Beacon sports coverage. Brooke Yeager Captures 4-1 Championship During Weekend Tournament at Kent State; Ed Rutkowski Annexes Second 191-Pound Crown Take a junior biology major, add a pinch of wrestling attire and a dash of mat savvy, sprinkle in a campus at Kent State, and mix in the 4-1 wrestling tourney and you have Brooke Yeager annexing another title to his long list of conquests. Last weekend the Colonel 123-pound traveled to Kent, Ohio to take part in the 4-1 (Interstate Intercollegiate Individual Invitational) Tourney and came home with the coveted 123-pound crown. Brooke Yeager -------------6 Athletes To Be Feted At All-Sports Banquet Drawing a bye in the opening action Yeager met Robert Hamilton of CCNY in the quarter-finals and disposed of the New Yorker in an easy fashion, 10-0. In the semifinals he met his toughest opposition in the person of Dave Abling of Toledo University. Abling carried a 10-1 ledger and the title of the Mid-American Conference into the match but couldn't cope with the agile moves of Yeager and dropped a 5-3 decision. In the championship match Yeager utilized a reversal and riding time to decision Tom Vataha of Kent State, 3-0. For his winning effort Yeager received a trophy and the college also received a winner's plaque. Ted Toluba also saw action in the tourney and advanced to the semi-finals before being decisioned by AAU champion Eric Moyer of Springfield College. Ed Rutkowski, former Kingston High School grappler and now wearing the colors of the "Irish from South Bend", won the 191pound action for the second consecutive year by running roughshod over four opponents.

In this, its first year, the Peace Corps has selected, from 18,000 applicants, 698 volunteers which have been trained and sent overseas to work in twelve countries. In addition, 20 more countries have requested help from the Peace Corps. By August, the Peace Corps plans to train 5,000 more people to help fill these positions. Applications for the Peace Corps have been received from every state in the Union, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam; of those accepted, one-third are women. If an applicant is accepted, he will undergo several weeks of intensive training in colleges throughout the United States.

To enter the Peace Corps, a volunteer must be at least 18 with the equivalent of a high school education. There are no upper age limits; in fact, six of the volunteers are over 60. Married couples are eligible, if they have no dependents under 18. Members of the Peace Corps are provided with a living allowance for food, clothing, housing, and medical care; in addition they receive $75 for every month of service.

The impresario brings his orchestra to the gym next Saturday evening at 8:30 o'clock for the Junior Class Jazz Concert. Contrary to popular opinion, Duke Ellington's music is not the type that is confined to the back street "dives" of our larger cities. His listeners range from the lovers of "le jazz hot", through fans of long hair, to that noble group of modem young Americans, the Twisters. Because each of these groups can find something of merit in Ellington's music that has remained on the American musical scene since the early 1920's. Such works as his Mood Indigo have set the pace of contemporary American music. His appeal to all age and social groups is shown in some of his recent works. He composed and recorded the score for the movies Anatomy Of A M:Urder and Paris Blues as well as the score for the television series Asphalt Jungle. Serious audiences have, too, accepted his work. He was the first bandleader to "crack" Carnegie Hall and has returned there annually since 1943 to premiere a major work. He appears yearly at Acamemy Hall in Philadelphia and at the Civic Opera in Chicago. His composition Harlem was commissioned by the NBC Symphony Orchestra when that group was led by Arturo Toscanini. Yet, his works also receive wide popular acclaim. In recent years, he has recorded many albums and long play records which enjoy widespread circulation. Because hi~ works become and remain standards his appeal to all age groups increases continually. Editor's Note Students can judge the results of this extensive background for themselves next Saturday evening for a general admission charge of $2. Tickets can be purchased at the Square Record Shop or from members of the junior class. Reserve seat tickets cost $3.50 and reservations can be made by calling VA 3-9003 or by writing Conrad Wagner, in care of the College. Music Students Present Varied Compositions At Next Assembly Radio Club Expands Station Equipment To Achieve Goal The Amateur Radio Club has reached their goal of owning a complete set of equipment for their radio station. This was achieved with the purchase of a receiver set. Previously, the radio equipment used by the club was owned by individual members with the result that when a member graduated, the group lost the use of that person's equipment. "Having a complete set of equipment will help the club attain a permanent status among the activities of campus," says Richard Emmel, president of the ARC. As the students who eat lunch in the Commons know, the members of the Amateur Radio Club provide an announcement service during lunch hours. Each Tuesday and Thursday at noon, John Biga, secretary of the ARC and a radio announcer for WPTS, broadcasts announcements concerning campus activities by way of the PA system in the Commons. There is no charge for this service and any member of the faculty or student body may have announcements made by placing the information in the Amateur Radio Club mailbox in the bookstore. Another current activity of the Radio Club is that of advising the School Spirit Committee now in the process of •p urchasing equipment for a new public address system to be used at college activities. As for the future, the club members are making long range plans which will probably be completed sometime during the next school year. These plans include the initiation of a radiogram service, and the establishment of a college "net." The amateur radio clubs in other colleges will arrange to be on the air at the same time, thus enabling them to have discussion. Officers of the ARC for the spring semester are as follows; president, Richard Emmel; vicepresident, William Shukis; secretary, John Biga; treasurer, Jerry Berk. Members of the music department will present a varied program consisting of choral and instrumental music in assembly next Thursday. The Women's Chorus will begin the program by presenting several folk songs, including three lively HUngarian Folk Songs and two American folk songs, Ten Little Indians and I have Decided To Be An Old Maid.

One involved changing the number of freshmen representatives from three. to four, another proposed that the deans review the grade average of all nominees to class offices on the basis of the semester during which the nominee is running for office. It was also brought out that the sophomore class is circulating a petition on campus for an increase in library hours. Any member of the student body may sign this petition. Government members passed a motion to make this year's Cinderella Ball semi-formal. The vote was eight in favor three against, and one abstention. A committee is investigating the possibility of having a name dance band at this year's ball. It was announced at the meeting that a Spanish film, the "Spanish Civil War", narrated by the late Ernest Hemingway, and sponsored by the Student Government, will be presented May 30. Naval Information Team On Campus Next Week A Navy Information Team will visit the campus on March 27 and 28 to discuss the Navy Officer Candidate School Program with interested students. The Information Team will hold the discussions in the Commons. The Navy Officer Candidate School is a program whereby young men with college degrees may obtain commissions after four months of schooling at Newport, Rhode Island. Applications for selection may be submitted at any time after completion of the junior year. In order to qualify a student must have a college degree, be a citizen of the United States, and be between the ages of 19 and 27. Classes convene at Newport every two months. Applications are now being accepted for the 1962 classes. �Friday, March 23, 1962 • WIUES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS- Student Government Aid A group of students at the University of Colorado recently formed a campus political party called the Students' Council of Political Education (SCOPE). According to a spokesman for the party, the group aspires "to a daring concept of education and dedication to ideals which can make student government more responsible to the students as a whole." By inviting political leaders to speak before the group, SCOPE plans to mold both farsighted and practical leadership. The group is not designed to serve as a critical body to the student government, but rather to aid the campus salons by keeping students informed of the activities of their leaders and by helping the individual students to understand the problems encountered in working toward the various goals of the student government. Such an organization recognizes a need prvalent on many campuses today, that is, the need for a liaison b.e tween campus leaders and the students they represent. Forums are held at which time problems common to all students are aired. Programs such as this, which provide the general student body with an opportunity to meet with and question the policies of student leaders are beneficial to all concerned and in many instances, small problems may be solved before larger problems develop. Peace Corps' Birthday The Peace Corps recently celebrated its first anniversary and the accomplishments which it has made during the past year have brought a great deal of attention to the program. Since its inception, the Corps has sent trained, qualified personnel to work in twelve foreign countries. Although criticism of the program ran high at its beginning, the effort put forth by the Corps has proven the idea worthy of acclaim. In addition to the good will it is building up abroad through its many services, the Peace Corps is also providing a great service here at home in the training which is being offered to our young people through the program. The services which will be rendered by these people upon their return to the United States will be invaluable. Applications for the Peace Corps have been received from every state in the union, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. The Corps has selected 698 volunteers from a group of 18,000 applicants. President Kennedy has asked that the Peace Corps budget be increased to $63,750,000, an increase of some $33 million over this year. With this, he plans to have some 6,700 volunteers in the field by mid-1963. If present high standards are continued, this increased amount will be justified. The Peace Corps is a powerful force for good in a world torn by bitter threats and accusations. Extensive Laboratory Equipment Planned for Slark Extension by Barbara A. Lore An x-ray laboratory, radioactive laboratory and storage room, instrument shop, several research laboratories, and a science library are only a few of the features to be included in the new research center of Wilkes College, according to Dr. Daniel Detwiler, Chairman of the physics department.

I would particularly like to thank the members of the faculty and student body for risking their health in game competition and the members of the Circle K Club for volunteering their services to entertain the group of orphans from St. Stanislaus in Sheatown.

Senior music education major Robert Eike has the answer, "Listen to music, of course." And perhaps by that time it will be Bob's music that moon travelers will be listening to. In the interim, however, Bob plans to study for his master's degree and teach. He is presently student teaching in the city grade schools. Unlike the other fields in student teaching which enable seniors to spend eight consecutive weeks teaching in one school, music education majors student teach during both semesters of their senior year in various area schools. Bob taught general music last semester at G.A.R junior high school. This semester he is teaching instrumental groups in the local grade schools. Shilanski Attends CCUN Regional Conference; Varied Topics Discussed Jerry Shilanski, state chairman of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations, attended the Middle Atlantic Regional Conference of the CCUN in Washington, D.C. on March 10 through 13. The purpose of the Conference was to coordinate the activities of the CCUN chapters in the region and to discuss methods for solving the problems which arise among the member nations of the United Nations. Robert Eike The region is comprised of the _______________ A States of Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware and the District of Columbia. It was repre- TRJ;:S CHIC sented by 100 students, the number of those attending being restricted to provide a more personal nature to the Conference. Colors In Leather Brighten Spring Scene In conjunction with the CCUN conference, the American Association for the United Nations was conducting its 12th annual meeting of national organizations. The program of the CCUN conference merged with that of the AA UN from Sunday evening through Tuesday. During this time, various groups were held with the subjects ranging from "A Disarmed World With Law" to "A World Without Want." The delegates were addressed by people in government, business, and labor. Some of the experts were Harlan Cleveland, Assistant Secretary of State, Calvin Kytle, director of public relations of the Nationwide Insurance Company, and Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers of America. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai E. Stevenson addressed the final luncheon of the Conference. from a budding two-year undergraduate program to a fast-blooming graduate program. The graduate center is the college's contribution to the community drive to attract new industry since Radio Corporation of America, a recent acquisition located here with the stipulation that such a center should be created. The value of this program has been proved by the fact that, since its inception last fall, it has attracted students from a variey of industries and institutions of higher learning including RCA, Mountaintop, TungSol, Hazleton, Silvania, Towanda, and Marywood College, Scranton. Although at present only two courses, an advanced chemistry and an advanced physics course are offered, additional courses will be offered in subsequent semesters. An evidence that this progress is being noted by outside sources is that Dr. David Lazarus, of the University of Illinois, who recently visited Wilkes as guest lecturer sponsored by the American Institute of Physics, praised Wilkes' progress as noteworthy and atypical of a small, community college. Patent leather in luscious candy colors, lime orange, toffy, and strawberry, has hit the scene for spring-see it in bags, shoes, belts and hats. Shoes in patent and other leathers are biggest news items when they have oval toes and lowered heels. The "spectator pump" is a classic, revamped this year into an azure fahion hit.-Wear it in patent for daytime, gilt snakeskin for evening. Bag s are worn over the shoulder, under the arm, or just about anywhere you want. Must they match the shoes ?-prefeably not, harmony in leather and color is better than a direct match. Petite berets and great straw rollers will be perched on the smartest heads this spring. Of course, for the romantics there are bows of all sizes. Be a little daring with your accessories this spring, try something new, if you do, you're sure to be the star of the Easter parade. Myriad of Activities On Psy-Soc Club Schedule Newly elected officers have planned an active schedule of public service and private enjoyment for the remaining months of the semester. Beginning this week several members of the club under the leadership of Dr. Robert Riley, chairman of the Psychology department, and Dr. Hugo Mailey, chairman of the department of political science, will take part in a redevelopment survey for the WilkesBarre area. This survey will involve interviewing families who live in the area to be redevelo·ped and finding · their attitude toward the change. The trip to the Wilkes-Barre Veterans Hospital which had been planned for the immediate future has been cancelled but will probably take place after Easter. During the weekend of May 4 some Psych-Soc members will be in New York where they will visit New York and Cornell Univerities. They will also vis.it the brother of Mr. Joseph Kanner, the club's adviser, who is presently conducting Bob does not, however, have to wait for space travel for recognition, since he has gained campus distinction as director of the Collegians, as a Dean's List student, and a member of Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Incidentally, the male chorus under Bob's direction was given the "best assembly" award last year. Bob is also a member of the chamber music and woodwind ensembles, the student MENC for music educators, and the oratory society. This student leader plays bassoon for the Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic, for the Stegmaier Gold Medal Band, and for the Wilkes band. For three years he has performed in The Intercollegiate Band Festivals, and this year will appear in the Choral Festival. He plans to give his senior recital in the gymnasium in early i',fay. Bob, who is a former member of the madrigals and the mixed chorus, but he admits having been manager for his Coughlin High School basketball team. His versatiliy has secured for him two unusual parttime jobs. He worked in the College book store for two years, and he was a member of a summer dance band, "The Mello Tones," which entertained at various Pocono Mountain resorts. (As a member of this seven-man band Bob played saxophone - an instrument which he theretofore had never played.) Although Bob has enjoyed his yearg at Wilkes, he feels that the College is suffering from the lack of an adequate fine arts building. "We definitely need areas for concert presentations, and . practice rooms for music students." he said. "Despite this handicap of adequate space, however," he continued, "I have found that .om' campus music department is doing a superb job in preparing students for a career in music. "We have here excellent teachers and certainly a variety of courses both interesting and valuable." To prove that the music department's standards are high, Bob cited the instance of three Wilkes musicians having been selected to play first chair in last year's Intercollegiate Band Festival. He forsees, also, Saturday classes at the College, since many students now find their class schedule tightly packed. Saturday classes will, he feels, give music majors much needed time for extra practice. When this reporter asked him what he wanted most, Bob answered, "Time!" He explained that music majors must spend four or five hour in daily practice. The experience is invaluable to a prospective teacher. Bob added that teachers should begin to stress music theory in the junior high schools, instead of simply teaching pupils how to sing. To be adequately prepared to teach, he thinks it necessary for college graduates to work toward their master's degrees as soon after graduation as possible. experiments for the federal government. The new officers elected for the spring semester are Joseph Gelli, president; Thomas Ferris, vice president; Barbara Savitski, secretary; Mike Winslow, treasurer; Jeannettee Bucholtz, social chairman. " �WD..KES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 23, 1962 Intramural Playoffs Near End; Heads, Shawneeites in Finals Basketball's top three post-season tourneys - National Invitational Tourney, NCAA Tournament, and the Wilkes Intramural Hoop Extravaganza - come to an end in the near-future with the NIT and NCAA tourneys crowning titlists tomorrow and the "King of Kampus Kourt" gaining the throne next week. In the final league playoffs, the Heads and Shawneeites battle for top laurels in the American League while a four-team contingent seek top status in the National League. The Shawneeites, f eaturing the scoring antics of Matt Himlin and Stan Karmilovich, ran roughshod over the Playboys in two consecutive contests to capture a final berth. The Heads battled regular season champion Serutans in three contests and won the series, two games to one. In the rubber contest of the series, the action was fast and furious with the lead wandering back and forth between the two squads. The Heads held a 24-20 margin at halftime, but the high-scoring antics of the Serutans tied the contest, 49-49, at the end of the r egulation time. Both squads scored three points in the first overtime to send the contest into a second three-minute period. 1-M Softball Rosters Needed for Scheduling Of Two Leagues' Play John Reese, Director of Athletics, has asked that all softball players get started to form their rosters.

New Mentor, Courts Featured As Tennismen Ready for Season How would you forecast your next few years!' Today, the young man planning his life realizes as never before that in today's world his own future is tied inevitably to America's future. How can he serve both? Many college graduates, both men and women, are finding a rewarding answer on the Aerospace Team - as officers in the U.S. Air Force. Here is a career that is compelling in its challenge and opportunity. And it is a way of life that holds the unsurpassed satisfactions that come with service to country. As a college student, how can you become an Air Force Officer? If you have not completed Air Force ROTC, Officer Training School provides an opportunity to qualify for a variety of vitally needed jobs in the Aerospace Age. A graduate of this threemonth course earns a commission as a second lieutenant. Also open to college men is the Navigator Training program.

The Colonel tennis team is rapidly approaching what appears to be a highly successful season. This campaign will inaugurate the new courts which have been constructed at the College's newly-acquired land area adjacent to KJrby Park. The courts are directly across Northampton Street from the soccer and football fields which are in the former Artillery Park area. The squad boasts a new coach in Tom McFarland, who is regarded as one of the best local tennis players. From early indications he is doing a fine job with the squad and has set up a rigorous training schedule which includes calisthenics, running, and long periods of actual tennis drills and practice each day. Lettermen returning to this year's squad are Owen Francis, Buddy Menaker, Gary Einhorn, and Bill Kline. Menaker is the newly elected captain of the team. These lettermen will form the nucleus of the squad, while a good deal of support is expected from freshmen Bill Douglas and Gary Frank, who apparently will be delegated to varsity posts. With the talent displayed in early workouts, it appears that the team will improve on its dismal record of last season. From all indications, it is apparent that the tennismen have regained the form which they displayed at the end of last year's matches. The team's losses of personnel through graduation appear to have been remedied by the corps of skilled freshmen. Coach McFarland and Captain Bud Menaker have urged that anyone interested in playing tennis for the Colonels report to the Central YMCA any week-day. Practice is from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. and will be held indoors until the weather permits moving to the outdoor courts. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + ❖ + SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES tor ,.

It was agreed that any time left over after the show, up until 11 p.m., would be devoted to an informal record dance. Each freshman was given two tickets, priced at fifty cents each, which he was asked to sell or buy himself. Miss DeAngelis stated that the proceeds from ,t he affair will give the treasury a needed financial boost. The newly elected class officers were introduced. They are Al Gilbert, vice-president; Sieglinde Vallot, secretary ; Susan Epstein, treasurer; Mary Lee Vannoy, Jo Signorelli, and Steve Paradise, Student Government representatives. A poll was taken to determine whether the Cinderella Ball should be formal or semi-formal. The majority voted in favor of a formal dance, since the Lettermen's Christmas Formal is the only other formal dance on the campus calendar. Those who wished to have the library hours extended signed a petition which was circulated during the meeting. It stated that the library should be open on Sunday afternoons from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for the convenience of dormitory students and weekdays till 10 p.m. for the convenience of students who attend night classes.

Brooks also said that the Publicity Committee, headed by Chairman Bernard Cohen, has contacted musical organizations, newspapers, and radio stations in an effort to provide wide publication for the Ellington Concert. In addition, Brooks said that the class will erect a large directorial sign at the foot of the Market Street Bridge to guide out-of-town patrons to the South Franklin Street Gymnasium. Also assisting general chairman Brooks are Owen Francis and Steve Panken. President O'Connell, concluding the class meeting, directed class voting for a semi-formal Cinderella Ball on May 17, requested that the class contribute to the Amnicola as patrons, and thanked Mary Regalis and her committee for their work on the recent class dinner dance.

In view of the poor response of former years - 30 to 40 pints from a student body of over 1,000additional beds and personnel have been obtained to ease congestion, solicitors have been named to mobilize donors, and an appointment schedule has ,been instituted to economize minutes for the student. To reach the quota of 200 pints, each men's dormitory is being asked for 7, while the women's dorms are requested to donate 4 each. The remaining student body, it is hoped, will complete the total. Count will be taken for residents by the dormitory presidents; whereas commuting students will be solicited by their respective class presidents: Cathy DeAngelis, freshman class; Jim Jones, sophomore class; Brent O'Connell, junior class; and Joe Shambe, senior class. Pat Rossi of the Education Club, and Bill Carver of Circle K will also assist in registering donations. Any student in good health is qualified to give ,blood. Pledge cards rmay be obtained from any of the above solicitors. Annual Band Concert Held at Slippery Rock; Five Musicians Attend by Mary DiGiuseppe Five students from the music department have been selected to represent the college at the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Band Festival, held this year at Slippery Rock, in western Pennsylvania. They are: Donald Jones, senior music education major, oboe; Robert Eike, senior music education major, bassoon; Edward Yadzinski, senior music education major, clarinet; Donivee Miller, sophomore music education major, French horn; and Raymond Nutaitis, senior music education major, tuba. The festival, which began yesterday and will continue today and tomorrow, is an annual affair and will culminate in a concert tomorrow night. Guest conductor will be Mr. Leonard Falcone, director of bands at Michigan State University. The Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Band, 144 members strong, consists of outstanding music students from 35 colleges and universities throughout the state, and as such, may be considered as a sort of honor group. It is one of the oldest collegiate bands now in existence. Mr. Larry Weed, music faculty member and also member of the Pennsylvania Collegiate Band association, will accompany Wilkes students to the festival as chaperon. He will also take part in the Intercollegiate Band Conference being held during the Festival. Mr. Weed's member in the PCBA enables Wilkes students to participate in the Band Festival. by Barbara A. Lore Sound the humpets - strike up the brass band - roll out the red carpet - the "Duke" is coming to town. That "blue blood" of the jazz elite, Duke Ellington, will reign at the Junior Class Jazz Concert tomorrow evening in the gym. To satisfy the community interest in the Duke's visit, WBAX will broadcast a personal interview with him either on Friday evening or Saturday afternoon, depending on his arrival An offer was even received by the committee in charge to broadcast the entire concert, but feeling that this would defeat the purpose of the "live show," the committee refused. BecaW1e of the splendid cooperation Bernard Cohen, publicity chairman, received from the local television, radio, and newspaper media, no one in the valley will have an excuse for missing this "audience" with the "Duke".

President -Alumni Seminar Set For Tomorrow Evening in Commons Secondary Students Are Guests Of Education Club This Tuesday �wn.n:s 2 EDITORIALS-- Give A Minute - Save A Life The date of the semi-annual Wilkes College Blood Donor Day has been .set .for April 4. In the past, those wishing to contribute blood had to go to the Red Cross Blood Center to do so and were often faced with annoying delays. As a result of this, and no doubt as a result of other factors as well, blood contributions by Wilkes students in the past have amounted to about thirty or forty pints per campaign. This year; in an · effort to in c r e a s e the student contribution to this all important program, Blood Donor Day will be conducted is the gymnasium. Numerous doctors and nurses will be present to enable the student to make his contribution as quickly as possible. With this improvement in the blood donor program, no student who is eligible to give blood should fail to do so next Wednesday. A goal of 200 pints has been set for the student body which consists of about 1200 members. This means, that if only one-sixth of the total student body donates a pint of blood, the goal will be reached. It takes so little of one's time, and yet means so much. The goal of 200 pints is very small as compared with the tremendous potential available on our campus. We all realize that there are many who for various reasons : are unable to give blood, but these exceptions are few. Every healthy man or woman, however, can safely donate blood five .times a year. Blood Donor Day comes to campus just twice a year and the opportunity should be met by all who are able to contribute. Giving blood is safe and easy. Receiving blood means life to thousands each year. It is time that we as students assumed some of the responsibilities of adulthood. Take the time and make ·the effort on Wednesday to do your share for your fellow man. Give blood . . . and help save a life. It will cost you nothing cincl the reward is one whichcannot be measured by any human standard. Welcome Hampton ... . . This weekend marks the first phase of the annual Wilkes. Hampton exchange program. We of the Beacon would like to Jake. this opportunity to .welcome these students to our campus . and. to extend to them best wishes for an enjoyable weekend. •. Mtitji cc;m be gotten from this annual program. In addition to the entertainment factor involved, much can be learned by both •parties involved regarding life on another campus. The improvemertls in all phases of collegiate life made by both Wilkes and Hampton can be greatly beneficial. · Alumni Seminar Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Congratulations A s h l e y Hall! Once again you have proven your virility, perseverance, and maturity to the whole campus. Ashley Hall, which year after year allows us to share the knowledge of its Albert Einsteins, admire the agility of their Spartan athletes, and chuckle at the satire of their Swifts and Steeles, has done it again! By combining all of their talents, abilities, and the like, they played the role of Jason and daringly stole Butler Hall's golden fleece, a flag symbolizing years of unity, scholarship, and leadership. Only there were no minotaurs, Medeas, or Argoses to contend with when the "men" stole into Butler Hall's lounge at 3 :30 a.m. and sneaked off with the flag. Rather, Ashley Hall's representatives did what any common thief, or otherwise misguided individual could have done if he so wished. I iimagine that the realization that this flag is a symbol of what Ashley Hall has never been able to achieve probably spurred these idiotic Jasons into action. Regretfully, Michael Landesman, Butler Hall Debate Society Travels To New York City For C. W. Post Meet The Debate Society will attend a three-round debate tournament tomorrow at C. W. Post College on Long Island, New York. The debate question is "Resolved: That labor unions should be under the jurisdiction of anti-trust legislation." Debating the affirmative side of the question are Lynne Dente and John Campbell, and opposing the resolution are Jerome Krasa and John Pikulski. On the following Saturday, the group will travel to City College of New .York, uptown campus, for a tournament. There will be a change on the team. Andy Majikas . will replace Campbell on the affirmative team. The final debate will occur at Bucknell University. The Good Neighbor Tournament is an annual affair, and it will be held this year on April 14, 1962. At each of the tournaments, the top three teams will receive awards. Seminars have made frequent appearances in the news · lately and no doubt much profit has been gained from such gatherings. Tomorrow evening, a step forward in the area of alumni development will take place when the first President'sAlumni Seminar is conc;lucted. The planning of such a conference14i itself recognizes the need for the establishment of .a progr~ which will · bring the alumni into closer contact with the college. The seminar is a means which will aid greatly in shortening the gap which develops between the graduate and the college after the individual leaves the campus. ···· Several other purposes will be fulfilled by such a conference. In addition to bringing alumni from widely-scattered areas closer together and to the college, the session will also provide an opportunity for the free expression of opinions, many pf which may contribute greatly to the development of the college. Our alumni represent a wide variety of fields of endeavor Humor in Uniform and their professional opinion, accented by their personal ex- Reprint from The Reader's Digest perience with the college will prove invaluable.

STUDENT SKETCH Krasa Chooses Legal Profession/ Speaks of Debate Experience by Gloria Zaludek "Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking ... ', thus began this interview with a senior who is undoubtedly one of the best public speakers on campus - Jerome Krasa of Hanover Township. "Modest Jerry," as he is known to his friends, is a senior political science major who has had three years' experience with the Wilkes Debate Society and previous debate experience as a member of the Hanover Township High School debate team. Jerry has also coached a group of high school student debaters of Jewish Community Youth. Of his debating experience Jerry says, "Traveling and exchanging views with students on other campuses is both exciting and educational. I've enjoyed travelling with the debate team, and I believe this speaking experience will prepare me for my chosen profession." Jerry intends to study law, and has been accepted to Vanderbilt Law School in Nashville, Tennessee-how will he possibly lose a case with such a well-modulated, and expressive, voice? Active in other segments of campus life, Jerry was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. He is a Dean's List student, and a member of his class executive council, the Court of Appeals, the Beacon staff, and a former member of CCUN, the engineering club, and SAM. He was also chairman of "Students for Kennedy .and Johnson" on campus. Readers will remember his articles written for the Beacon last year in the Krasa-Robertson debate on the political campaign. An avid baseball fan, Jerry also enjoys reading "although I was once told that reading wasn't a hobby." He paused, then added, "I like to sing, but don't mention that since my voice sounds like a warped record." All right, Jerry, we won't mention it. Having changed his major from engineering to political science, he has had the opportunity to take a variety of courses on campus.

Mr. Joseph Kanner, instructor, psychology dept. Yes, I would build a shelter! To prepare for the worst while I work for the best, whatever the best or worst might be. And what if the worst becomes a nuclear holocaust, a nightmare of destruction, would I want to survive in such a world? Yes, I would want to survive in such a world! To rebuild. To recreate. To reach once again for the moon, the stars, the universe. To ask once again the same questions and hope for better answers. Why? If you must ask, you wouldn't understand. No answer would satisfy you. Barbara Lore, sophomore, English major I believe that building a fallout shelter at the present time would be a waste of time, energy, and money. Not only has modern technology dimaned the prospect of a nuclear war but also the "package deal" fallout shelter kits on the market are inadequate for the prolonged protection which would be necessary after a nuclear attack. Unfortunately that fallout shelter idea has ,been misused by unscrupulous people seeking a "quick buck." George Gavales, senior, political science major I wouldn't build or live in a fallout shelter any more than I would live in a cave or a tree house. People who build fallout shelters forget one important fact: the next war can only be won if never fought. Burrowing in holes, surrounding ourselves with concrete walls, and storing canned water sold at exhorbitant prices does nothing to prevent the next war. Such action simply adds a touch of grim humor to a situation that is deadly serious. Dr. Frederic E. Bellas, Associate Professor of Physics Your q u e s t i o n might be reworded as "Would you want to survive a nuclear war and be part of a post nuclear war society?" My survival instinct wants to answer "Yes," but my spirit wants to answer "No." I should not, therefore, build a shelter. �Friday, March 30, 1962 Wil.KFS COLLEGE BEACON Shawneeiles Win American Crown Circle-K Will Operate 1-M Softball Leagues; As Nalional Playoffs Continue Last Call for Rosters In a modem marathon of speed and endurance the Shawneeites ended the long American Intramural Basketball League trials with one last scoring surge to capture their league laurels. The long awaited clash with their National League counterparts was further delayed by a maze-like" playoff series to determine the leading team. At last count four teams were battling for play-off berths in the junior circuit. Taking the lead with a beginning tally of ~our co~secutive goals, the Shawnee1tes gamed a lea<_! ov~r the He:1ds that they never rel~ng~nshed. Quick goal~ b~ Matt H1mlm _and Stan Karm1loVIch gave the highflying Indians their opening scores before "Head" Wruble put the Pi_ttston~en on the score-board with a Jump-shot. .. The Plymouthmen ut1hzed a fastbreak to take a commanding lead at the half as the Heads were on Fair Weather Or Foul the short end of a 39-22 score. In the third period the Heads put a full-court press into operation. With Bond and Carver scoring and Len Yankosky sweeping the backboards clean the Heads cut the Shawneeite ~argin to a scant three points. With two minutes left in the period, the five ironmen of Plymouth rallied to up their lead to nine points 49-40 at the threequarter ma;k. ' Final period action found the Shawneeites opening an explosive attack which sent thirty-two points onto their score while the Heads could only tally twelve markers. The Heads lost their star rebounder, Len Yankosky, in the final minutes and could not recover to catch the rampaging Indian tribe. Final score was 81-52. All five Shawneeite performers tallied in double figures with George Tensa netting 20, Matt Himlin and Stan Karmilovich 16, Bob "Snuffy" Smith 17, and John Tensa 12. "Head" Wruble led their opponents with 14 counters as Bond added 12 and Carver lO to the losing cause. Ron Musselman and Larry Gubanich handled the officiating chores. CL' CO. INC. IN2 This year the intramural softball league will operate under the auspices of the newly-formed Circle K Club. Club officers ask that rosters be turned in as early as possible in order that games may be scheduled. Rosters will be assigned by Mr. Reese or Mr. Dydo, or may ,b e deposited in the Circle K mailbox at the Bookstore. As in the past, games will be played on Mondays and Thursdays, beginning in the near future. The teams will again be divided into two leagues. Taking over the league this season, the Circle K Club plans to innplement some changes in hopes of improving the league. Today, sheets on which students may place suggestions for improving the league will be distributed in the cafeteria and Parrish Hall. These will be collected by the Club, and any useful suggestions will be put into effect. Posters will be placed at both ends of campus. On these, information pertinent to the league ( cancelled games, makeup games, etc.) will be placed before a specified ttme. This will circumvent great inconvenience on the part of commuting students. Another possible innovation will be an all-star game to be staged at the end of the season. This game would take place after the threegame championship series between the leaders in each lague. It has b e e n proposed that individual trophies be given to members of the championship team.

The forces from uhlenberg on their home field will be seeking to reverse this humiliation. Coach Dydo has been drilling the squad for the past few weeks and will be going into the opening engagement with a team composed essentially of underclassmen. From the tentative starting lineup, it appears that three freshmen have gai;ned varsity berths. Freshman Ron Grohowski of last year.

Last ter who sparked the Meyers club y e a r he gained All-Scholastic honors in both ,b aseball and basketball. He played semi-pro ball last summer with Sheatown of the Central League. Lou Zampetti, a sophomore thirdbaseman, will provide a deal of the club's power. Last season the G.A.R. product enjoyed fine performances both at bat and in the field. From early indications the right-handed swinger is ready to embark upon another productive campaign. At present Tom Trosko and Al Gilbert, both freshmen; are contenders for the shortstop · post. Trosko, last year, played for Plains High School, a team which won the Wyoming Valley Championship by defeating Newport in the finals. Paul Aquilino, the only senior on the starting line-up, will add more power to the squad. Playing his fourth season for the Colonels, Paul will be stationed in left field.

Reif, chairman of the biology department, will conduct the third seminar discussion sponsored by the Associated Women's Students Sunday at 8 p.m. on the second floor of the Commons. Dr. Reif's topic wil be "Overpopulation", a controversial subject of universal concern. Overpopulation has become a major crisis in an age when the infant mortality rate has been lowered and the life expectancy has increased. Experts estimate that ultimately at the present rate of reproduction there will be only one square mile of living area per person. The controversy centers around the means to r~duce the ever-increasing poulation explosion and its resulting effects. Last Thursday, Mr. Joseph Kanner, instructor in the psychology department, led the seminar group in a discussion on "Censorship and Individual Responsibility." Mr. Kanner introduced his remarks by briefly discussing the cause of delinquency, one of which is, supposedly, obscene material. The controversy arises, he said, when a society tries to determine what will be censored and who will ,b e censored and who will do the censoring. In certain cases, legislation against obscene literature would not ,b e effective because parents often do not know, or cannot control, what their children read. Then too, surrendering individual responsibility in one area leads to surrendering responsibility in other areas, thus reducing all freedom. At the conclusion of the discussion, the group hadn't found a workable definition of who should censor what material. The A WS seminar discussions are open to all students interested in thought-provoking conversation. ForPi~n Movie Based On French Novel To Be Presented The Red and the Black, a movie based on the novel by Stendahl, has received international acclaimation. In 1 9 6 4, it was awarded the Grand Prix of the Academie du Cinema. Students will have the opportunity to see this classic on Monday and Tuesday in Stark 116. Stendahl based his novel on an , opportunist's career in the ninej teenth century French society. It I was one of the first psychological novels. The sensitiveness of the novel can be found in the title. The main character, Julien Sorel, was born too late to ,b e a member of Napoleon's arnny, accounting for the red in the title. For this reason, it necessitated Sorel to direct himself toward the priesthood. As the story progresses, the character struggles to surmount the obstacles placed by class society. · The Language Department will' Seek and Ye Shall Find The well-dressed student can show the film at three different, claim the following of his belong- times.

Defendant's Rights: The ac- ernment. Sludenls Given Opporlunily To Name New Alhlelic Field Group Attends Sessions At United Nations Following Building Tour �2 WII.ns COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS-- Important Decision Important changes in the student body constitution have been proposed by Student Government for serious consideration by all. One of the most striking changes in the set of rules is that dealing with jurisdiction. The new amendment states, "To the Judicial Committee of the whole Student Government has been delegated jurisdiction over all cases where undergraduates have violated college rules anywhere on or off campus." This additional power granted to the campus ruling body would place that group in a very strong but responsible position. If the measure passes, the delegation of such powers to the Student Government will be a tribute to the abilities of that body. The question, however, which should be pondered by all mempers of the student body is essentially this - Do the members of the Student Government have the knowledge and experience needed to successfully perform the task of judging their fellow students? We belive that a competent, capable group of students could conceivably perform the tasks required of them in this amendment, but, we must be very particular in our selection of student representatives. They must be people who can be objective and fair. They must not allow any personal feelings to enter into the judgment of cases, and they must also keep all matters related to cases in the strictest confidence. Only when our representatives realize these responsibilities and can accept them will these policies be feasible and effective.

"Asphalt Jungle," a theme the Duke wrote for a television program made the audien ~e wish that the show could have held its sponsor. A slow piece from the "Paris Blues" score was followed by a brazen "Stoonpin' At The Savoy" which featured the saxophone mastery of Harry Carney, an Ellington charter member. Jimmy Hamilton's willowy clarinet work on "Tenderly" led into a selection from "A Drum Is A Woman", a composition by Duke and Billy Strayhorn. Solos by drummer Sam Woodyard and bassist Aaron Bell accounted for the rhythm section in a weaving pattern of brass and percussion with primitive native passion. The announcement made by Dr. Farley last Saturday night regarding the pledge to the college of $500,000 by anonymous friends of the college has brought an even greater light to the college's hopes for expansion. The announcement of this gift has brought closer the construction of the long awaited fine arts building as well as numerous other improvements here at Wilkes. It is significant here that these friends have desired to remain anonyomus, thus silently adding their names to the long list of others who have for many years sacrificed to contribute to the growth of the college. At Saturday's meeting, Dr. Farley also emphasized the tremendous strides made by the college since its founding. The improvements proposed as a result of this latest grant represent another in the series of steps forward taken by the college. Cat Anderson emerged with his We of the student body owe a vote of thanks to these un- always-screaming t r u m p et in known people who have once again provided for the further "Summertime", and he proved that he hasn't lost much roar or purr advancement of the college. Enter - the Twist The current dance rage which has been "sweeping the country" and has thoroughly invaded the college campus has taken a prominent place at the Wilkes Friday night dances. Organizations sponsoring weekend affairs boast the offering of twist bands, dances, contests, and anything that gyrates, vibrates, or bounces in order to spur the attendance at their particular event. No doubt exists that there are many who enjoy an evening of "twisting" to the music of their favorite Peppermint Lounge refugees, but there are still many in the crowd who long for the strains of a good old fashioned waltz at least once in a while. This is something for the dance-planners to consider when arranging future dances at Wilkes. The twist has its place and no doubt it is here to stay (for a while at least), but there is still a place at Wilkes affairs for emphasis on other types of music as well. Any Ideas? An opportunity for students of Wilkes to display their intellectual skill avails itself with the publication of this issue and the announcement of the athletic field name contest. The college board of trustees at a recent meeting requested that the student body of Wilkes submit their ideas for a name for the new athletic field located in Kingston. Several names were suggested by the board, including Pennsfield, Sullivan Field, and Dadurka Field, but other suggestions which students wish to make will be carefully considered. The reward'---the student whose appelation is chosen will have the distinction of having given a name to the college's growing athletic plant which will live for some time to come.

For Ellington afficianados, the satin sax solos of Johnny Hodq;-es cried "I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good" and ended the first part of the concert with "All · of Me". A trumpet player named Bill Bailey, who should have gone home, opened the second half with a disappointing and mediocre version of "Lullaby of Birdland". Fortunately, conditions improved quickly as the · brilliant tenor sax of Paul Gonzalves 'dominated the "Diminuendo and · Crescendo" from Ellington's 1958 Newport score. The remaining portion consisted of the Ellington standards in a medley. "Satin Doll" and "Solitude", two of: the most beautiful Ellington melodies done with deft polish. Carney, Hamilton, and Brown played "Mood Indigo" with sweet sadness, and the former proved over again that the Lady is ever as much sophisticated as she ever was. The ever-Nomadic "Caravan" blended the entire unit together in a tightness that was flawless. Toward the very end of the program, a new singer appeared who had been heralded as another Joe Williams. Unfortunately, at best, though, he sounded more like Billy Eckstine with laryngitis. "Don't Get Around Much Any More" with "I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart" as a counter-melody ended the program. As if we don't get enough Chubby Checker, an encore cleverly titled "One More Twist" was tastelessly done. Duke Ellington is a legend in his own lifetime. He has earned his internationally famous reputation because of his good taste and impeccable compositions. With only a few exceptions, the concert was thoroughly enjoyable, fresh, and done in good taste. It is unfortunate, though, that more people didn't attend, for provincialism offers few opportunities. Duke Ellington has s u r v i v e d through the years, through swing, the bop, and certainly through the potpourri of trash that prevails today. It is disappointing to see even one vacant seat along with an air of apathy when tribute is due an artist like Ellington. He paid the price of provincialism.

Linda Ewing, left, and Marsha Hochberg Allens en France avec Mademoiselle Marsha Hochberg and Linda Ewing. These two girls have the opportunity to spend their junior year at the University of Aix-Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, France. Commenting about the opportunity, Marsha stated, "It is something I had always thought about and hoped to do." Leaving at the end of August, Linda and Marsha hope to travel by ship to Marseille, France, from where they will go to Aix-en-Provence to register on September 12, 1962 at the University. They both will reside with French families while they attend the University of Aix-Marseille. The University was established in 1409, and is presently the second largest university in France. It is a participant in the program of the Institute for American Universities. The program is specifically designed for those colleges who do not have overseas facilities for their students. In connection, with this program, Linda remarked that she would like to see Wilkes adopt a program for students to study abroad. Included in the plan is an academic program similar to that of Wilkes. Starting classes on September 17, the girls will have two French courses per semester, and they will attend lectures, which will be given in French. In addition to the French courses, Marsha, who is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in French intends to take an additional French course plus a history and a fine arts course. Linda, however, who is majoring in sociology, will take a philosophy, a studio art, and a history course. A wide variety of extra-curricular activities are available to the students of the University. Marsha mentioned a few of these activities such as French and Provencal cooking, ballet, drama, and boules, which is an ancient form of outdoor bowling. There are also chances for camping along the Riviera and among the Alps. The itinerary for the girls' Christmas and Easter vacations is already planned. During the Christmas holidays, both will travel to Paris to visit relatives, and then, Linda will proceed to Essen, Germany to see other relations. A Mediterranean cruise will dominate the itinerary during Easter vacation. They will have stopovers at Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Israel. When asked about the processes which they went through to be accepted at the Universitv, Linda and Marsha proceeded to tell what was required. Involved in the process is the requirement of good academic standing. In addition, a recommendation from the chairman of one's major department, the dean of the college and another faculty m em b er is necessary. Farley Announces $500,000 Gift At Alumni-Presidential Seminar by Cynthia Hagley A gift of $500,000 to the college for the construction of a Fine Arts Building was revealed to some 185 alumni attending the dinner-seminar last Saturday night in the Commons. How this donation will alter the original plans to build a $550,000 Fine Arts center is not yet known. The original plan included a matching federal grant and loan. This planping was based on the proposed Federal Aid to Education Program now facing Congressional action.

Perhaps the most important of these purposes was that of providing the students with specific information in the various areas of study available on the college level. This was done through the use of seminars presided over by Wilkes students who have done, or presently are doing, their student teaching. Elias pointed out that another ·p urpose was to help initiate Future Teachers of America Clubs in high schools that presently don't have such clubs. Further, these prospective teachers were introduced to the facilities of Wilkes. Finally, the event took on some aspects of a social gathering as refreshments were served and entertainment was provided by the W omen's Chorus under the direction of Nancy Thomas. Art Shown at Hazleton The new graduate and research centers, dormitory, dining hall, and other projects will _cost over $5 million. In his address to the alumni, Dr. Farley said, "Only an intelligent and informed people can combat the extremes of communism and fascism. Thanks to a dedicatei faculty and a dedicated board of trustees, Wilkes College is nurturing and developing such intelligence in the minds of her students." He revealed that during the last ten years, the College trustees had contributed $2 million and that "today, we can look forward to advancements we dared not envision a few years ago." A chronology of progress was presented to the alumni as a reference material during the seminar. It stated in part, "In the years that have ·p assed, the college has joined with others to create a new economy and a new community. With these changes, a new and stronger college has grown." Enrollment in the college for both day and evening students has grown from 193 in 1933 to 1,608 at the present time. Selectivity has increased with this growth. For example, only 38 per cent of the applicants were a d m i t t e d in September, 1961. The president emphasized that this is a comparatively good percentage, but that it could be better. All applicants should come from the top one-half of a high school senior class, and only 35 to 40 per cent of these should be admitted. Dr. Farley also explained that the ,b oard of trustees is in favor of ·keeping the enrollment at its present level. "Yet," he continued, "it is highly probable that we shall be forced to raise our college population to 1,600 to 1,700 students by the year 1970." Spirit Committee Plans Spring Carnival, Outing by Frances Corace At its meeting Monday, the School Spirit Committee discussed plans for the forthcoming Spring Carnival and outing. The Carnival will be held on Saturday, May 12 at the Parrish Hall parking lot. Booths will be set up offering various amusements. Dancing and other entertainment are planned for the evening. Applications for the booths may be picked up next week and submitted to James Jones at Warner Hall. A $1 registration fee will be charged which will be used to pay for the Sunday outing expenses. On Sunday, May 13, the School Spirit Committee with the cooperation of the Economics Club will sponsor an outing at Rocky Glen Amusement Park. There will be no charge for the grove's facilities. Intramural sports and evening dancing are two highlights of the activities planned. Mr. Kent Kirby, instructor of Art at Wilkes College, has announced that the paintings of two art students at Wilkes have had their work accepted at the Regional Art Show in Hazleton. This show is sponsored by the Hazleton Art League, 225 East Broad Street in Hazleton.

(continued on page 5) �wn.n:s Friday, April 6, 1962 EDITORIAL-- Why Athletics Athletics play too important a role in our life today. This statement has been debated for years as people question the position of athletics in our educational system, and too often the question is left unanswered. Last year's infamous basketball scandals brought the question out of the limelight where it had faltered and placed it in the scrutinous public spotlight. The altercation continues today as both the pro and con endeavor to inundate the opposing apprehension. With a propensity to promote a better understanding of why athletics are such an important phase of · today's educational program, we present our philosophical answers to five basic questions regarding scho_ol athletics. Question One - What benefit will a player derive from participation in athletics? Remember one principle: athletics are education; they are, in fact, one of the most important parts of our educational system. There is no other course in our schools today which can offer to a boy all the following benefits. COMPETITION - Our entire way of life is based on competition. Every person in industry, business, or a profession is competing to improve or maintain his economic standing. What · better way is there to teach this important principle than through athletics where a person faces a struggle, not only against opposing teams, but also against his own teammates for a ,p osition on the squad. PHYSICAL WELL-BEING - Our nation, as a whole, is becoming more conscious of the inadequacy of our youth in physical fitness, as is evidenced by President Kennedy's establishment of a Physical Fitness Program. It is stated that "A strong ,body is the hand made to a strong mind", and where can this strong body ·be formed better than it is in athletics? A foundation is built through athletics that can be a model for developing a program to correct our "national physical inadequacy". Never minimize the advantages of a strong healthy body the students receive from a sound program. THE RELEASE OF PHYSICAL BEING -Someway, somehow, students will find a way to release the physical energy which their bodies hold. Athletics offer a means of releasing this energy, and it's a much better means than joining a gang of destructive hoodlums or becoming a "regular" at an alcoholic abode. RECOGNITION - Through guidance, players can learn to accept recognition in a proper manner. They learn that the praises they receive are not due to their effort alone, but to the effort of the team. They learn pride in themselves and their individual efforts, but only in terms of teamwork. UNDERSTANDING - Athletes work together for a common cause and learn to take victory or defeat in an acceptable manner. Team members learn how to understand each othe.r and to make compensations for the team. How can this help but be beneficial in later years when an athlete enters the business or professional world, where it has been proven that eighty per cent of the people who lose their jobs do so because of their failure to understand and get along with their coworkers. EMOTIONAL CONTROL - "When the going gets tough, the tough get going"-a well-used phrase in athletics which can be diagnosed as meaning the successful athlete learns to get going by tackling the task at hand. The most important element in the athletic structure is the ability to "stay loose". So it goes in future life; he who learns not to have emotional blow-ups and remains ca1m whatever the situation is he who will be successful. DISCIPLINE - The main cry about our young people today is that they don't know how to discipline themselves or how to accept discipline imposed on them. However, athletics force a player to discipline both his mind and body and also accept commands given by those placed over him. PERSEVERANCE - How many times do adults miss the goals they are seeking because they quit trying too soon? Any person who has participated in athletics will probably never fall into this situation since through his participation he has learned to stay with the job and not give up until the contest is over. Even the lowest sub on a sixtyman football team never stops trying since he has the desire to someday make the first string. : THINKING UNDER PRESSURE - Any accomplished businessman can contribute much of his success to this factor. The athlete learns to think under pressure early in his areer and uses this ability every ti,me he engages in a contest. In order to win he must think, quickly and accurately, under ~uch pressure. It is impossible to cover or describe adequately all the benefits a student derives from athletics but some of the more outstanding ones were covered. Each individual receives these benefits in different degrees, depending upon his psychological makeup, but the factors mentioned help develop a well-rounded citizen. Question Two - Is it more important for a boy to earn money than to participate in athletics? Ask yourself this question, can a car or spending money offer the educational benefits that are found in athletic competition? Upon close analysis we find that most of the money earned by students after sc~ool is not spent wisely. True, many campus athletes must work to contmue their education, but jobs on the immediate campus are usually open for the sport participant. Scholarships are also usually available, but that brings up another controversy. Too often the money earned by the student is "pocket money". Too early in life he finds he has large sums of money and in rnost cases has not been taught how to use it wisely. This can create an unwholesome situation which carries over into adult life. Think of the number of students who get a job to get a car, and then work every available minute to support the car. The many recent surveys illustrate all too clearly the effect a car has on students' grades. Students anxious to work can usually find enough summer employment to afford the adequate spending money. A picture is worth a thousand words, so it is easier to utilize Don Eller as the typical married athlete - active in sports, campus activity, and family life while working - than to write a lengthy explanation. The best answer to this question is to compare the educational advantages of athletics and money. Question Three -What happens to a player's grades during the sport season? · . , . Studies show that in general student s grades go up durmg the sports season. To understand this, let us first analyze whY: a man receives poor grades in school. First: there may be a lack of mterest; second: a lack of ability; and third: lack of or improper use of study time. . . When a player is participating in a sport, he has a great mterest m school in ge11eral. At this time his life is centered on the sc~ool. and sport in which he is engaged. Also, he knows he must mamtam a 5 COLLEGE BEACON Golfers Open Season Thursday At Scranton; Bellas Leads Duffers Captain Rich Bellas and the Colonel golf sextet open the golf season at Fox Hill against University of Scranton on Thursday. Returning lettermen Bellas, John Adams, and Jim Ward provide the experience that the untried Blue and Gold golfers will have to contest the Royals. Filling the remaining three positions poses a major problem at least until a starting aggregation can be tied together. Senior Frank Lepore, junior Bob Smulowitz, and freshmen Chet Kolley and John Occhiato appear the best among a dozen as·p irants for the remaining positions. Lepore and Kolley look impressive in early practice rounds. Scranton has, in the opinion of Coach Peter C a r 1 e s i m o, the strongest squad in its history. Cocaptains Ralph Chase and Jim Barrett are old tormentors of Colonel golf teams. Chase was the only Scranton golfer to win against Wilkes in last season's meets while Barrett whipped Pete McLaughlin soundly in 1961. Both are scratch handicap golfers at Scranton Country Club. Sophomore J. B. O'Donnell from Elmhurst is also a recognized regional golfer. This meet involving two strong match-play teams should give an early line on the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships to be held at Fox Hill on May 14. BILL CARTER (continued from page 4) When probed about these magical feats, this calm, dignified, little man who takes all things in his stride says only, "It's a challenge to keep things running smoothly down at the gym and I guess that's why I enjoy · my job so much. There's never a dull ·m oment" quite an understatement! Who is this man whose domain is the gym - who not only understands the care and attention necessary to keep his "ward" iil top Kruczek Turns In 4-Hit Effort As Dydomen Open With Victory "Play ball!", the long-awaited cry, will ring out over the collegiate diamond tomorrow as the Colonels open their home baseball campaign with the Upsala College nine. Last season the Wilkesmen scored a surprise upset over the East Orange diamondmen, 1-0, behind the three-hit pitching of Bob Fleming. The MAC contest is scheduled to get under way at 2 p.m. at the Wilkes Athletic Field. In their season opener at Bethlehem on Tuesday the Colonel nine sent a strong Muhlenberg squad down to defeat at the hands of veteran hurler Joe Kruczek. The tall righthander tossed a neat fourhitter at the Mules and only a twoout single by Tom Rothrock in the sixth inning wrecked his bid for a shutout. The Colonels broke into the scoring column in the third inning when Kruczek opened with a single and Matt Himlin sent him to third with another one-base -blow. A sacrifice fly by 'Doc' Vosheski sent one run home and advanced Himlin to second and a single by Ron Grohowski plated him. In the ninth inning the charges of Coach Mike Dydo sent three more tallies across the plate as singles by Himlin, Vosheski, and Grohowski loaded the sacks and a base-clearing triple by Lou Zampetti sent them all home. The fielding of the Wilkesmen was great in the opening contest with the infield turning in two snappy double-plays. physical condition but watches over it with fierce pride and interest? Born in Virginia, Bill lived there until the age of nine when his family moved to Harrisburg, where he spent the remainder of his youth. Again his family moved and this time their path led them to the Wilkes-Barre - Scranton area - Bill's home for the past 35 years. This recent grandfather lives with his wife, Hazel, and sixteen-year-old son, Dan, on Wright St., in close proximity to the gym. His past experiences read like the pages of a novel since during his lifetime he has been a bus boy, chef, mechanic, proprietor of a garage, anthracite miner, and custodian. The tales of his many adventures and the people he has encountered furnish material for many an exuberant story-telling session between Bill and "his boys" down at the gym. One of his favorite tales is that of Mr. Jones, a steady customer at the Man h at tan Restaurant in Harrisburg, where Bill, as chef, was in charge of the kitchen. An avid coffee fan, Mr. Jones continually complained that his coffee was never hot enough. Rather than becoming irritated at this constant complaint, Bill and his crew took positive action. Upon Mr. Jones' arrival in the restaurant the message would be relayed. "He's here!" At this signal, Bill would pop a cup in the oven so that it would -b e steaming hot when Mr. Jones ordered. This curtalied all future complaints. As Bill says, "Perhaps he was too busy manipulating that steaming cup and soothing his burnt fingers." This consideration for his fellow man is a part of his ,b asic philosophy of life - attempting to treat his fellow man as he would have him treat him. This philosophy, which is such an integral part of his life, probably stems from his deep religious convictions. As Deacon of the Mount Zion Baptist Church, a post which Bill describes as proxy minister, he often brings the church to people confined to their homes. In addition to his lectures in the church, Bill visits the homes of sick members of his congregation weekly, furnishing them with comfort and sympathy. Religion plays an important part in the 'life of both Bill and his wife, who is aiso an active . member of the Mount Zion congregation. In religion as well as ail other phases of their life, Bill and Haz·el work together causing Bill to describe their life as a "joint effort". Hazel and Bill are also active in community affairs - Hazel as President of the Negro . Community League and Bill as a member of the local Masonic Order. In reflecting back on his tenyear association with Wilkea, Bill finds that his relationships with the athletes composing his crew have made the most outstanding impression on him. Many outstanding Wilkes athletes such as Eddie Davis, John Bresnahan, and Frank Fenis have worked under Bill and shared in his tall tales of adventure. As a tribute to them and the other students who have composed his crew Bill claims that he would prefer having students work for hill). rather than adults - a true indication of the communion between Bill and "his boys". satisfactory scholastic average to remain a member of the team. If a · student lacks ability in a subject, he will strive to master it to stay on the team. His efforts during the season will exceed those he puts forth after the season is over. Seldom do students study after school, even if they are not in athletics. Those who would, soon learn to budget their time to cover both athletics and scholastic work. Parents are ,b ecoming increasingly aware of the importance of academic achievement. An over-emphasis of school work is not physically or emotionally desirable. It has not been proven that a strict diet of studies is the answer to good grades. Question Four - What of the injury problem in athletics? Space limits the number of statistics that can be presented in this article. Briefly here are a few from the many studies that have been conducted. These figures cover students in the time from August through December. There are 240 motor vehicle deaths for each football death, 17 to 1 with firearms, 26 to 1 from drowning, and 6 to 1 from ,burns. It is also reported that there are 3 deaths for every football fatality of all ages involving roller skates. The fatalities involving bicycles are about 9 to 1. Thus, it seems reasonably safe for a boy to participate in football, a sport where body contact seemingly invites injuries or death, rather than to spend his time in the roller rink or peddling a bicycle. Other arguments disregard the fatality rates and stand strictly on injuries. Consider here that a boy not playing football is probably engaging in one of the above-mentioned activities. Few statistics are available to show how many injuries result from cars, etc., for each death. One quota has approximately 20 injuries in auto accidents for each death. This should startle quite a few people. One school is known to have recorded 34 injuries in sandlot football among their students in one fall. This was in excess of their own organized program. Most physical education classes have more injuries in one year than do the football teams. Rule changes, better coaching techniques, and improved equipment are the main essentials behind the lowering of the accident rate among athletes. Also considering the delinquency problem and its relationship to unsupervised activity, one should remember "that a broken bone will mend, but a twisted character will hardly ever straighten out." Question Five - Why the emphasis on winning? This boils down to the simple ideal that if we don't teach winning, we teach losing. There is no middle-of-the-road in sports. This is not unwholesome as some people think, but rather normal and desirable. Winning is the American way of life, both in the business world and on the athletic field. The overemphasis on winning usually comes from outside the school and does not come from the coaches themselves. Winning is the reward. If it is not taught, then mediocrity is taught, and there is no place for that if the businessman as well as student is to succeed in life. In answering the five questions asked coaches and players, we have not proposed these as absolute answers, but as sound retorts to show the advantages circumventing the athlete. The advantages which help turn the boy of today into the well-rounded, well-developed citizen of tomorrow. • PENN BARBER SHOP • Next Door to Y.M.C.A. 3 Barbera at Your Serrice Jame■ J. Baiera. Prop.

This arises because few students are aware of the duties of the Recorder and, in some cases, are unaware that one even exists. Unaware, that is, until the student has occasion to use the Recorder's office for himself. Then, he expects every effort to be made in handling his particular problem in the fastest possible manner, regardless of whatever else may be on the schedule. Overall, a Recorder is responsible for all grades handed in by the professors, be they mid-term or final grades. The responsibility for this job at Wilkes is held by Miss Ruth Bishop, a charming individual with a .pleasing personality, which proves to be a great aid in performing her job. Miss Bishop, who came here in March, 1953, from the Pittsburgh area, handles the records of all day students. She must record their grades on both the master and permanent transcripts, in addition to sending grade reports home. The latter include the infamous "pink and yellow" mid-term deficiency slips. Elementary education m a j or s will have the opportunity to take twelve more hours in academic departments as a result of certain changes that have been made in the curricula in education. Beginning next year the elementary education "block" will become a onesemester program consisting of seventeen credits, offered each term as "the professional semester." The el e m en tar y education "block" for "the professional semester" will include teaching of reading, arithmetic, social studies, and science, elementary school curriculum, visual education, and student teaching. The remaining semester will include principles of elementary education plus sufficient or required elective courses to bring the student's total to 127 credits, the graduation requirement for this curriculum.

All five musicians placed with high honors, three taldng first chairs (for the second year in a row), and the other two took first chair seconds. Edward Yadzinski, Donald Jones, and Ray Nutatis, all seniors, took first chairs on the clarinet, oboe, and tuba, respectively. Student Body Praised Fer Their Cooperation During Recent Drive At a recent meeting of the Economics Club, Jerry Moffatt, president, praised the entire student body for the enthusiasm and cooperation displayed during the recent eyeglass campaign. Bill McIntyre, general chairman of the drive, announced that this year's drive was one of the most successful since its origin. Over three thousand glasses were collected this semester, and of this number approximately 1440 pairs have already been packed and shipped to New Eyes for the Needy Incorporated of New Jersey. Among the upcoming social activities of the club is the All College Outing which will be held on Sunday, May 13, as part of the Spring Weekend. Richard Hohn, ticket committee chairman, stated that the affair will be held at Rocky Glen Park and tickets will soon be available. Assisting him will be Tom Tomalis, activities chairman, and Jerry Shilanski, transportation chairman. Ron Sebolka reported that mem;b ers of his stock committee are in their final phase of making their decision for a future investment. The club at present owns eleven shares in General Motors stock. The club will also assist the Lettermen, TDR, and the Circle K in painting the fence around the athletic field some time in the spring. In addition, members have been actively recruiting donors for the College Blood Donor Day in order to aid in reaching the quota. First chair seconds were taken by Robert Eike, senior, on the ba,soon, and Donivee Miller, sophomore, on the horn. Guest director Leonard Falcone of Michigan State University said that of the 30 colleges participating, Wilkes was "by far the best group there, not only in musicianship, but also in attitude." This was the first year that the Festival employed the audition system for choosing its best musicians. It was done in this way so that smaller schools would have an opportunity on a par with the larger colleges. Competition was keen, exemplified ,b y the fact that Yadzinski competed with 12 other clarinetists to win first chair. T.D.R.

The Inter-Dormitory Council will host prospective freshmen during the April 27 "Freshman Weekend" on campus. Approximately eighty high school seniors will take part in a "typical cam.pus weekend" to become acquainted with the college, its dormitory life, and its academic and social functions. As guests of the college the prospective freshmen will room with dormitory students and talk with members of the administration and department chairmen. They will also be the guests of the Accounting Club at the Friday night dance. The Lettermen request that no men wear tuxedos and that no women wear corsages. These suggestions have been made to lighten the expense for those attending the semi-formal.

Circle K Receives Charter The college chapter of Circle K Club received its charter from the International Circle K group recently. At this time, the local Kiwanis presented the club with a gavel, gong, banner, and a set of flags in addition to its charter. Membership pins and sweatshirts were presented to the club's 33 members. The administration has provided a filing cabinet for the club's materials and has also given it a regular meeting room, Conyngham 109, in which the club will meet on Tuesday. The club's constitution has been accepted by the Student Government and the club is now a recognized college activity. One of its first functions was its sponsorship of a group of orphan children at the donkey basketball game. perspective. The hated dead can now be mourned. What is to be hated now are the blistering forces that sear and destroy life, that collect individual human lives into ranks of enemies. "It then becomes difficult to detail and outline the entire story of Hiroshima, Mon Amour. It is not simply a love story, it is not a document, or a plea for peace. It is a creative work, lovingly, poetically written by the French novelist Marguerite Duras, conceived cinematically ·b y Alain Resnais, acted with purity by a French actress and a Japanese actor. It is, of eourse, a work of enormous dignity, a landmark in motion pictures." �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITOIUALS- A New Record The Red Cross has announced that a total of 118 pints were collected at the recent campus Blood Donor Day. Although the amount was slightly more than half of the goal of 200 pints, this figure looms much larger when compared with the results of past drives. The total collection of 118 pints represents the highest amount collected since Blood Donor Days were originated on campus in 1950 and far surpasses the previous high of 63 pints set in Ma;y, 1960. An additional item should be mentioned in connection with the drive. Although the total amount collected was only 118 pints, some additional 40 students were turned away from the gymnasium because of a lack of parental consent which is needed by all students under the age of 21 who desire to donate blood. The results of the drive are a good indication of what can be accomplished with a little effort. It is hoped that these results will spur members of the student body on to an even greater response next semester when perhaps the goal of 200 pints may .be realized. Wilkes -Hampton Tiie second phase of the Wilkes-Hampton exchange program will take place shortly after Easter when twelve Wilkes students will journey to Hampton Roads, Virginia to spend several days on the campus of Hampton Institute. This visit, part of the program which brought Hampton students to Wilkes two weeks ago is one designed to promote not only an understanding of life on other campuses, but an even deeper understanding of the problems faced by other groups. The Hampton exchange program stands as a symbol of brotherhood and of the relations which bind man to man. Holiday Ahead We have been informed via the college calendar that Easter vacation will begin next Wednesday. We of the Beacon staff would like to take this opportunity to extend best wishes to everyone for a happy holiday. Along with this wish, however, goes a warning to all who may be driving during the holiday period. An increased amount of traffic will be traveling the nation's highways particularly for the ,p eriod beginning next Friday night and ending the following Monday. A little extra caution, care, and consideration can save a great deal of time, expense, and perhaps e·;en a human life - so drive carefully. Trustees Seek Name For Athletic Field For the first time in the history of the college the student body has been given the opportunity of naming a piece of campus property as the Board of Trustees seek a fitting title for the Artillery Park athletic field. The Board of Trustees is considering three already submitted names - Dadurka Field, Sullivan Field, and Pennsfield. From a group of names which will include the student contributions the Board will choose the most suitable name. To aid them in making their decision, board members request that students include a short explanation of their reasoning along with the name they submit. The field, the former Artillery Park and home of the Wilkes-Barre Barons Baseball Club, was taken over by the 109th Field Artillery seven years ago. The college obtained a long-term lease from the 109th, under which they will provide caretaker service and increase the attractiveness of the area, with no cost to its owners. The field is also available to the 109th for special occasions and physical conditioning of their men, and to the community during the summer through the Recreation Association. Serving as a combination baseball diamond, gridiron, and soccer and field hockey field, the area was initiated last spring by the Athletic Department. Students may submit proposed names and accompanying explanations in written form to the 'Beacon' at its Bookstore mailbox.

EDUCATORS MEET IN COMMONS Members of the Education Club will host a Classroom TeacherFuture Teacher Conference on the second floor of the Commons from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow. Attending the conference will be students from area colleges and teachers representing public schools in northeastern Pennsylvania. The conferees will participate in discussion groups and will be guests of the Education Club at a noon luncheon. At their recent meeting Education Club members ratified a new constitution and prepared it for submission to the Student Government. At the meeting a film, Crowded Out, was shown. Friday, April 13, 1962 STUDENT SKETCH Eller Excels as Sports Siar, Sludenl, and Working Family Man by Jerry Shilanski Most of us still go along with "old Tom Jefferson" and all that stuff he had to say about men being equal, but it certainly makes some of us wonder when once in a "blue moon' an extraordinary individual is born. Now it is quite evident that one of two things happened to Donald F. Eller: either the moon was blue on a night twenty-two years ago or he just took what he was given and developed it to a fine point of perfection. In this case the latter proposition appears to be the more reasonable - and besides, no one can seem to remember a time the moon turned blue. This senior business administration major has developed into the epitomy of courage, drive, conscientiousness, thoughfulness, stamina, patience and a host of other virtues that could fill this page. This is not a publicity release from the Eller fan club - as far as this reporter knows, none exists - but after reviewing a record like Don's I am not sure one shouldn't be started. Anyone interested may contact Mrs. Donald F. Eller and her two children (Jacqueline Dale, 3, and Don Jr., 10 months) of 29 Carey A venue, for they are certain to be charter members.

For his fine pitching performance in the team's initial contest, Joe Kruczek has received the nomination. The veteran hurler handcuffed the Mules of Muhlenburg College, allowing only four hits and a lone tally. The Mule score was driven across on a two-out single by Tom Rothrock in the sixth inning . single and a run scored. Although he received excellent defensive support from the team, Joe was the central figure in the victory as he displayed poise and confidence on the mound in setting down a succession of Muhlenburg batters. A native of Manville, New Jersey, Joe is a sophomore residing in Butler Hall. He is majoring in history. During his freshman year, he participated in football, basketball, and was a letter winner in baseball. It appears that Joe has improved greatly since last season when he had a rather disappointing record. He is throwing hard and his control has been somewhat amazing. He and Bob Fleming have been designated to form the core of the Colonel mound staff.

He was accompanied by his wife on this his first trip of the campaign into Luzerne County. Mr. Dilworth outlined what he considered to be the major differences between his stand and that of his opponent. He then discussed the basic issues of the campaign and offered ways by which he would conduct the governor's office, if elected, in light of the problems facing the state. Following his address he opened the floor to students' questions and answered many on subjects ranging from education and its needs in the state to the necessity of attracting new industry to alleviate the problems of unemployment. His program is basically one of carrying forth the accomplishments of the present state administration. However, he also has several suggestions which he feels will improve the quality of the state's government. Included among these are proposals for allowing the governor to succeed himself in office and in this way provide a realistic basic for advocating a revision of the state's outmoded constitution. In addition, he favored the extension of the state's civil service coverage to lessen the amount of patronage available to the governor. Although he feels that the state revenues could suffice to meet his proposed programs for the length of his administration without any increase in taxes, he does advocate a revision of existing tax sources with a view to closing many of the existing tax loopholes.

For example, the German students will visit the Goethe House, attend the play, Emile, the Detective, and also see a play by Ibsen. Reservations for the group have been made at the President Hotel. Chaperones for the trip are Mr. Disque, Mr. Ribas, and Miss Dworski. Florence Gallagher, president of the German Club, has stated that anyone who wants transportation to and from New York City for this particular weekend can make reservations for the bus by contacting one of the language teachers or Miss Gallagher. The Continental Inn is the location of a dinner to be held on May 6, under the sponsorship of the French Club. Members of the other language clubs have been invited to attend. Foods on the menu will be prepared according to French cuisine. by Lynne Dente The instrumental teachers of the Luzerne County public schools will conduct a musical competition on campus tomorrow from 9 :30 a.m. to 3 :30 p.m. This event has been instituted by the teachers to help ~aise the standards or instrumental music in ·p ublic schools.

In !the past, it was necessary for the Student Government to meet to consider all Court of Appeals decisions. In the student balloting, the Class of 1963 also elected Jerry Mohn to the vice-presidency, and chose Rosalie Kackauskas and Conrad Wagner for the respective positions of secretary and treasurer. Student Government representatives selected from a field of five candidates in the Class of 1963 were James Walters, Gerald Moffatt, Bernard Cohen, and Ted Begun. The Class of 1964 chose Al Gubanich who ran unopposed as vicepresident, and selected Lorraine Dyers as secretary and John Campbell as treasurer. Five candidaites ran for Student Government representative in the Class of 1964. Those elected were Gail Roberts, Richard Burns, Fred Smithson, and Lou Coopey. The Class of 1965 elected Alfonse Bayo as vice-president from a field of four candidates, Sieglinde Vallot as secretary, and Ronald Grohowski as treasurer.

Consideration Needed The term paper season is upon us once again and the facilities of the college library are being heavily taxed. Although the material avo:ilable at a small college library such as Wilkes possesses may be small, it would not be inadequate if used properly. All too often, students stealthily place library books in briefcases, purses, or notebooks and "accidently" bypass the librarian's desk on their way out the nearest door. Not only is this dishonest, but it is also inconsiderate and unfair to the many students who depend upon the library as their source of information. In addition, library cards are issued to every student and so no reason exists for such action. Many valuable books have been missing from library shelves for great lengths of time and are probably not being used by anyone because the student who has taken the book out illegally is too unconcerned about the welfare of his fellow students to return the book so that others may use it. Such lack of consideration is becoming a common trait among college students who are supposedly being educated to know better. The library is provided for the use of all students. Books which .are removed by students for long periods of time may contain information vital to other students and even faculty members. A little consideration will go a long way. Plan your time carefully. Take only those books from the library that you know you will need. Have them checked out, and then return them as soon as possible. Only in this way can the library furnish the student body of Wilkes College with adequate library facilities. A New Trend Along with the many new trends which seem to be constantly growing in our world of today, one conspicuous trend has made itself known here on the college campus. It seems to be a trend for members of our student body to forget that they are just that - members of the Wilkes College student body. As such, they have a definite responsibility to uphold high standards of conduct both on and off. campus. It has been called to our attention that numerous occurences involving theft and damages caused by Wilkes students have taken place recently. These students who seem to care little about their own reputation are seriously jeopardizing that of more than 1,000 other students who may be classed with this small group. The question before us now is what can be done? The movement to improve student conduct must come from the students themselves. The student body itself must take action now to halt such action before steps are taken outside of the student body which may prove to be more harmful. It is totally up to us. We can continue to add to the good reputation developed by Wilkes students in the past, or we can set a new precedentone which labels Wilkes students as childish, complacent, individuals lacking any concern for their college, community, or themselves. Adminislralion Reviews Policies On Drinkingl Student Court On Monday night at the Student Government meeting, the Policies Committee stated that the Student Government proposed drinking policy and the ideas concerning a student honor court are in the hands of the Administration. Another item of business was the third reading of a proposed amendment, making it a mandate to send all Court decisions to Student Government, and meeting to reconsider only those decisions which are contrary. All three proposed amendments had been approved by the Administrative Council, which approval ena:bled the Student Body to vote on those amendments on Wednesday. I Editor, Wilkes College Beacon Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Dear Editor: During the past few weeks, a number of things have come to the attention of this office concerning student conduct which is adversely affecting the reputation of each Wilkes College student. Because a few individuals are damaging the good name of all students of the College, I thought perhaps you might like to inform the student body of these matters. First, a letter from Captain Morgan, Wilkes-Barre C h i e f of Police, indicated that persons have taken nine parking meters ($75 each) from the area around the College. These persons were observed by plainclothesmen entering Wilkes College property. Although the City has not said that our students have -t aken the meters, the implications are rather clear. If any students know the whereabouts of the meters, the meters may be returned by placing them in an obvious location for collection. Second, in addition ito the above, Chief Morgan .stated that students have been jamming parking meters with stones. One student has already been apprehended. Future violators will ·b e prosecuted. Third, last week a freshman student parked in the Gies Lot. Some ill-mannered student(s) pushed his car out of the lot, moved it across the street, and blocked the drive of a doctor who was called out on an emergency. The student had to pay a $2.50 City parking fine and $5 in towing charges. Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time to save the -p atient. Next time these ill-mannered students might have someone's life on their consciences for their irresponsible actions. Fourth, recently the personnel who clean the buildings have reported that some young men(?) seem to take great delight in writing obscene words and phrases on the walls of the men's rooms. It must take a small person to do something in private that he would not do in public. Fifth, a few individuals have been taking entire shelves of books and stacking ,them on the floors of the library. The above eV'ents are being presented because it is felt that the student body will want to do something. They are being done by a handful of students, but unfortunately their actions reflect on each student at Wilkes College. Each of you, as mature men and women, know right from wrong, good from bad. Where do you stand? Will you speak up against such actions when you see them taking place? Sincerely yours_, R?bert B. Morris . . . Director of Student Activities Two petitions were submitted to Student Government at this time. One concerned the changing of library hours, and the other petition was a proposal that the Student Government president be elected by the Student Body. Among other items of business was the granting of permission to the Junior Class to have a booth at the spring carnival in order to raise money to help pay for the Duke Ellington Concert.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Friday, May 4, 1962 STUDENT SKETCH Collier's Talents Tried As 'Amnicola' Publication ·Dale Nears by Gloria Zaludek Does the work reflect the man? Will a yearbook mirror the qualities of its editor? When, in the last week of May, the Amnicola is distributed perhaps its readers will recognize the hidden qualities of its editor, Harry Collier. Harry is a handsome senior commerce and finance major from Duryea. A three-year member of the Amnicola staff, he served as assistant editor of that publication last year. Although Harry declined comment on the cover and design of the yearbook, ("Let everyone be surprised"), he did offer one clue, "It will have pictures and captions." This reporter was able to learn that the staff devoted many hours to writing captions which are both thought-provoking and humorous. Indeed the yearbook should be proof of Harry's perception and his lively sense of humor. "Editing is not, however, perpetual fun and relaxation," Harry mused. "It involves perserverance and concentration." Hard work is alien to his personality, though; he worked as a typist at the Tobyhanna Signal Depot last summer, and has worked part-time as a garage attendant and mechanic. He also served with ,the U.S. Army. Active in extra-curricular activities, Harry is a member of S.A.M., Harry Collier and a three-year member of both - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - < > the Economics -Club and his class executive council.

First of all, he looks like a hitter at the plate. He stands six feet tall and is a solid-muscled 185 pounds. He's black-haired and handsome. Secondly, he is a hitter - and a fine ·one. Through the first 7 games of the Colonel schedule, he hds a lusty batting average of .340, and has totaled 2 home runs and 10 RBI's. Third is his versatile defensive ability. Although generally listed as a third baseman, he can produce a competent performance at any of the outfield positions and first base. What he lacks in speed, he makes up for with one of the best throwing arms in the MAC. He even has the little intangibles that make one ball player stand out among others. There is his background as a G.A.R. star performer on the gridiron and diamond. Lou gained All-Scholastic honors as a thundering guard for the 1960 Grenadiers and helped the Hilltoppers to one of their best years in baseball with his staunch play.

Dydomen Home Tuesday With Susquehanna U.; Split with Lycoming On Tuesday, Coach Mike Dydo's baseball team will clash with the Crusaders o f S u s q u e h a n n a University a-t the new athletic field. The down-river nine are currently enjoying another successful season and the Colonels are hoping to better their 3-4 won-lost record against the Crusaders. Game time is 3:30. Next Thursday the Dydomen will travel to Reading to meet Albright College. The Lions are another of the more potent teams in the MAC and can be expected rto subject the Colonels to a rigorous test. Last Saturday afternoon Wilkes was involved in a double-header split with Lebanon Valley College. Both ends of the twin-bill were action-packed affairs as the Colonels took the opener •b y a score of 14-3, while Lebanon Valley gained a 6-4 victory in the night-cap. Captain Lou Zampetti was the hitting star f o r Wilkes as he slammed a homer in each game in addiltion to a triple. His circuit blow in the second game came with the bases full and accounted for all of the Wilkes runs. The Colonels collected 17 hits in the opener for their season high. Alt home again this past Tuesday, the Dydomen once more split a double-header, this time with Lycoming College. In the first game, Joe held the Warriors to five hits while fanning four. Paul Aquilino and Len Yankoski, in addition to Kruczek, collected two safeties apiece. The second game ended in a 10-6 extra-inning victory for Lycoming after the Colonels tied the score wilth a five-run outburst in the fifth inning. Each team collected seven hits, but eight bases-on-balls presented to the Warrior hitters proved to be the difference in scoring. . Lou Zampetti and Matt Himlin garnered two hits apiece in the losing effort. vert who endears ballplayers with his clubhouse needling, and fans wirth his never-failing courtesy. Last season Lou took over the hot-corner for the Colonels and teamed with Bobby Ontko for the "long ball" power of the squad. This season, with Ontko absent via graduartion, the full measure of the Colonel's power lay on the sophomore's shoulders. He has responded to the challenge and with the "big swing" of his bat, has been the top hitter for ,the Colonels. But last Saturday the sturdy third-sacker sent two balls over . the left-centerfield fence for home runs. A grand-slam smash sent all the Colonel runs home in the second game while his initial blast accounted for two runs.

Wednesday will replace Mike Dydo and Marvin Antinnes, both former outstanding Colonel athletes.

His ability in the coaching skills is evident from the number of victories the Huskies have amassed since his addition rto the staff. The Kingston forward wall has been regarded as the best in the entire area, and Schmidt's influence has been of paramount importance in its forming and maintenance.

The award is for the academic year 1962-63, as graduate assistant in the department of sociology and anthropology at Duke. In addition to the Duke assistantship, Krall received one-year scholarship offers from the University of Wisconsin, the University, of Pittsburgh, and Penn State University. He chose Duke because of advice offered by our sociology department and because of the program offered at the school. Krall's duties as departmental assistant will include correcting tests, p1'ootoring classes, and assisti~g in research dealing with methods in such sociological areas as complex social organizations and social psychology. Krall's position as a department assistant will afford him insight into both teaching and research as prospective career fields.

That most necessary ingredient of every carnival - a beauty contest - will be the highlight of the evening - and a most extraordinary beauty contest this is, since instead of featuring the usual feminine pulchitrude, its subject is legs - male legs.

As of this writing, no suggestions from the student body have been submitted. While we are well aware that everyone may not have talent in this area, it is obvious that there must be someone in a student body of more 1200 members_who has some opinion regarding the field. It has been suggested by off-campus sources that the field be named in honor of some distinguished local personality and suggestions in this area are also welcomed. Students are invited to use the ballot on this page and may submit it with their suggestion to the Beacon mailbox in the Bookstore, to the Beacon office in Pickering 202, or to any member of the staff. This is an opportunity for some Wilkes student to display his ability and to bring acclaim to himself and to the general student body. than On Spring Weekend Spring Weekend with a number of gala affairs is once again upon us and many students are hurriedly making final arrangements for this event. Many thanks in advance go to those who have given of their time and talent to prepare for the Weekend and to make it tlie success which we are sure it will be. All of us can help, though, simply by being in attendance at these affairs. Every possible arrangement has been made to insure the students at this year's Spring Weekend an enjoyable time and the location of the events makes them convenient to all. Stephens ·College Signs·Paci Wilh .U.S ..Office of Education Stephims· College and the U.S. Office of Education recently signed a contract for a· project involving final planning for the selection and integration of a wide variety of educational media to be used in the Stephens College of Learning Ceniter; · , . 'l'he project is entitled "The Planning of Educational Media for a new Learning Center, and the Preparation of a Record Suitable for National Distribution." Primarily the project will enable Stephens to identify the most modern and functional resources of ' the newer media for learning .that are to be incorporated in the five structures that will create the James M. Wood Learning Center on .t his campus. ~tephens will develop a comprehensive report for the use of other colleges in their own campus planning for new learning facilities.

BEAC.ON Friday, May 11, 1962 Buildings Have Background Of Rich, Interesting History Primarily a community college, Wilkes has roots that go deep into the city of Wilkes-Barre·and all Wyoming Valley. At the time Wilkes was chartered as a four year liberal arts college in 1947, the college trustees decided to honor John Wilkes, an English patriot and one of the first defenders of American freedom in England, by naming the newly founded institution in his honor.

The first building article. acquired by the college, when it was. still Bucknell University JuI)for' College, is perhaps symbolic <if all buildings that have become ,part of Wilkes. Chase Hall was presented ,t o the college by Rear Admiral Harold R. Stark, present chairman of the Board of Trustees, in honor of his sister and her husband, , Mr. and Mrs. Fred M. Chase. Du.ring the years it has belonged to the college, Chase Hall has ·served many purposes. It has been used continuously as the AdministratiQn . Building and presently houses the offices of the President, the Deans, and other administrative · officials. In addition, Chase Hall was used to house the first college cafeteria, once housed the language department, and has also provided space for recreation centers. The beauty of the building, constructed about 1917, prompted its selection, in 1958, as one of the most prominent , . and interesting buildings in Wilkes-Barre. A. Aubrey Bodine, photographic director of the Baltimore Sunday Sun, so selected Chase Hall in behalf of the Baltimore Life Insurance Company.

You take a long stick with a fat hitting surface and then you swing at a small ball that is . rock-hard .and absolutely stationary. No curves, no sliders - not even a change of pace. That's all there is to it. But, for some curious reason, golf isn't quite as simple as it appears. Major-league sluggers, who can time perfectly a curve ball that breaks a full foot, suddenly freeze when faced by a motionless golf ball. Pro fullbacks who regularly bull their way through 1,600 pounds of furious flesh cringe when they see a sand trap. Golf ultimately becomes a demanding game and in the past two decades only a few hundred men have mastered it well enough to win a top tournament. More significantly, only a handful have mastered the sport so thoroughly that they were able to win a lot of tournaments. To establish himself as a top. notch golfer, a player must possess three distinct talents : 1. He must have a perfect or near-perfect swing with the grace of Bobby Jones. 2. He must be willing to practice constantly, with an eye toward improving his strokes. He must possess the dedication of an Arnold Palmer. 3. During a 111atch, he must be able to ignore everything except winning. The true intensity of Ben Hogan -is a necessity of becoming a top performer. The degree to which any golfer can combine these three skills will eventually determine his greatness. Arnold Palmer. with his explosive play and Gary Rlayer with an everpresent air of consistency have filled the sports pages across the country with their top play. Too often local players are taken for granted and their heroics, which long match the play of the pros, are pushed to the back page of the newspapers. A sudden streak of greatness, comparable to •t he feat of Ken Venturi in the 1956 Masters, is needed to bring the heroics into view. Last week the Wilkes duffers b a t t l e d the East Stroudsburg golfers to a 9-9 tie in regulation play, sending the margin of victory into a sudden-death playoff between the ,t wo number-one men. Roger Stern, Bethlehem Metropolitan champion and top golfer in the state college circuit, led off for the Warriors against John Occhiato, an unknown from Wilkes. The first hole was bogeyed by both golfers. Both men got great tee.shots off on the second fairway with Occhiato's shot out-distancing Stern's by 30 feet. A top wedgeshot carried the ball -t o within two feet of the cup for the Colonel number-one man. A short putt with a dense air of excitement hanging overhead scored a birdie, a victory for Wilkes. Out of the darkness of obscurity came another topnotch performer. The degree to which John Occhiato combines the three skills are without question. So far, there is no doubt about his swing. It is fluid and efficient, an applied blend of accuracy and power. He possesses hand-speed, timing, and balance. Occhiato's willingness to practice is unmatched on the Colonels' squad. Although he is hampered by a heavy schedule of engineering subjects, the freshman duffer has a rigorous training schedule so "Old-Timers" Return Tomorrow for Annual Alumni-Varsity Contest The Colonels will turn back the sands of time . tomorrow as the baseball stars of the 1950-1960 era return to the Wilkes diamond to participate in the second annual Alumni-Varsity baseball game. Game time is 2 p.m. Last year the stars of yesteryear took an early lead, but couldn't hold back the tide of youth as the Varsity captured a thrilling, and somewhat humorous, 12-11 victory. Alumni expected to return to action are Ron Rescigno, Bob Sokol, Ralph Hendershot, Joe Sikora, Jim he can bring his already sharp Ferris, Joe Parsnak, Walt Foley, game to a fine edge.

I The Colonels staged a major uprising in the inning to knot the score, 7-7, to send the contest into extra innings. In the tenth inning, Joe Kruczek, who relieved Schwefel on the mound in the ninth, led off with a double. Tom Trosko advanced the runner with a bunt single and, after Aquilino grounded out, Matt Himlin sent the winning run across with a single off the third baseman's glove. The Royals loaded the bases in the bottom half of the inning, but failed to score. Tuesday's game with Susquehanna University was rained out.

May 11, 1962 Gridders Hold Spring Praclice Under Schmidt's Able Leadership This year for the first time in the history of Wilkes College football, the Colonel gridders are engaging in a two-week spring practice session. Under newly-appointed head coach Roland Schmidt, the team is busy shedding excess poundage acquired during the winter months. In a meeting with the team last Thw:sday, Coach Schmidt presented a straight-forward approach to football. He said that it was up to the players to put forth their best effort. Schmidt further stated that the team was capable of playing winning football if they could muster the desire and will to win. Co-Captain Bill Meneeley, Coach Schmidt, Co-Captain Jerry Mohn Actual practice sessions began last Monday at the girls' hockey field with the team undergoing rigorous calisthenics and running through plays. Notebooks containing most of the plays to be used next season have been dis•t ributed to the team to study over the summer. The team is practicing without pads, and, of course, there are no contact drills or scrimmages involved in the practice sessions. Although the squad of thirty-odd players is running through plays, the purpose of the spring drills, according to Coach Schmidt, is to verse the team in the basic fundamentals of the game of football. This is to enable the team to begin practice nex,t fall in a smoother and more rewarding manner. As a result, the Colonels should be well-trained and better-equipped to challenge their MAC foes this falL Working with Schmidt at practice have been Jonah Goobic and Frank Spudis. Goobic, who was formerly a halfil>ack at Bloomsburg State College, is concerned chiefly with the backfield, while Spudis is performing in the capacity of line coach.

In an interview with guard Jerry Mohn, this reporter learned that the outlook for next season is definitely bright. Mohn said that he was truly impressed with the spirit that the team has shown and the caliber of players present. There are a number of fast halfbacks working out along with a bevy of quarterbacks. The number of players is expected to increase in the fall, with the incoming freshmen and a numiber of players who, for various reasons, are not available for the spring practice session. Mohn, who is certainly looking forward to next season, intimated that from what he's seen during the practice sessions thus far, the team would be prepared to meet Moravian next weekend. If Mohn's enthusiasm is indicative of that expressed by the rest of the team, Wilkes football is in line for a long-overdue uprising. 18 W . Northampton St..

Golfers Win Thriller From EaSt stroudsburg; Play Tournament Today Tournament time hits the Colonel golf schedule this weekend as the Blue and Gold duffers prepare for play in two post season tourneys. Today the linksmen are in New York state playing in the Annual Harpur Golf Tourney. This is a medalist type tourney with both individual and team champions chosen. On the road for ,t heir second tourney, the Colonels will be at the Fox Hill Country Club on Monday for the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference championship. Scranton is the host college this year with Wilkes coach Welton Farrar acting as chairman for the annual play. A record number of 25 -teams are entered with LaSalle and Bucknell as the early favorites. Last year the Colonels acted as hosts for the tourney with Bucknell capturing the .title for the third consecutive year. · An interesting sideline on the tourney is that John Occhiato and Frank Lepore, both stalwarts for the Colonel golfers, are regular golfers on the Fox Hill course and will be "dark horses" for the individual medalist title. Edge East Stroudsburg Last Saturday the Wilkes linksmen played the East Stroudsburg golfers to a 9-9 tie in a regulation match. This sent the ·p lay into a sudden-death overtime between the two number-one men for the clubs. Bob Stern, the top player for the Warriors, and John Occhiato played in the Do-or-Die playoff.

Tennismen Meet Royals Tomorrow; Drop Decision lo Susquehanna . . Tomorrow afternoon the Colonel tennis squad will take to their home court to meet the Royals of Scranton University. The visiting netmen are eager to avenge last year's humiliating defeats by the Colonels. Last season saw the Wilkesmen crush the Royals, 9-0 and 8-1. Scranton is reported to be a much-improved aggregation this year, as they have a number of returning lettermen. Their number-one man, whom Bud Menaker has beaten twice, has shown vast improvement over his performances of last year. Scranton has already beaten a tough King's squad during the current campaign. On Monday the Colonels will journey to Bethlehem to end the season by battling the Greyhounds of Moravian College. Last year the Greyhounds came away with a 6-3 victory over Wilkes and are expected to provide the Colonels with a tough match again this year. Sam Kilpatrick, who has coached tennis at Moravian since 1947, has a nucleus of five lettermen from the 1961 team that posted a fine 10-3 record. The five lettermen are expected to hold starting posts, with Merr Trumbore again playing No. 1. Last year he paced the Greyhounds with nine victories in 13 matches in the leadoff spot. He was named most valuable player on the squad. Moravian also has a group of experienced players sta·n ding by to fill any vacancies in <the starting rotation. Wilkes saw its season log fall to a disappointing 1-3 won-lost total as they dro,p ped a 5-4 decision to Susquehanna last Saturday. The Crusaders gained their victory in <the contest in the last doubles match as Wilkes' Owen Francis and Fred Smithson lost in three sets. Captain Bud M e n a k e r and Fred Smithson won their singles matches. In the doubles Menaker and Bill Klein won in straight sets and Gary Einhorn and Gary Frank took the second doubles match in three sets. Thus far in the season, the Colonels have been experiencing a run of tough luck as far as victory is concerned. Of their three losses, two were by 5-4 margins and the other was by a 6-3 count. They have played excellent tennis and have just fallen short of victory match play. Also there have been three contests which were rained out. The chances of a Wilkes victory in each of these contests were quite good according to the records posted by these teams this year. With the two remaining games on the schedule the Colonels hope to even their season record at three wins and three defeats. Men's Summer Fashions Forecast; "Tall Look" Latest Male Styling by Robert L. Green, Fashion Director of "Playboy" Magazine There is neither a full nor sloppy line to be found in men's clothes this spring and summer. The shape is the "tall look." Suits, jackets, and slacks are cut along the lean, lithe lines demanded by young men who have influenced the entire market. Every trick of line and design that slim down and stretch out the well-fed figure of less than towering height is being used. Ski and sea are the hottest fashion trends in outerwear for summertime. Winter sportswear items have been translated into summer clothes: ski stretch pants into lightweight slacks and jackets, hoods on many different jackets, also draw string bottoms on slicker cloths. Nautical motifs are on everything (but watch it - a little motif, anchors and flags, etc., goes a long way.) The best of the boating trend are the water-repellent poplins in flag designs. "Stretch" fabrics ( originated in Europe for skiwear) are now ready to "give a little" literally to add stretch to outerwear, slacks, walk shorts sport shirts and swimwear. As the peasant soup of one country becomes a gourmet's delight in another country, the stitched "workshirt" look is moving toward high fashion acceptance. The fresh thought for sport shirts is double duty - on the beach at the club, in the garden or any place under the sun. Typical is the sport shirt cut along the lines of the cardigan sweater or sports coat (rounded front, three buttons, et al.). Summer sweaters are seasoned for summer comfort. The word now is "shirting-weight" sweaters and there is a wide choice of knit and texture. We endorse the "uncluttered" and classic lines. Fashion First: The matching cardigan and shirt set - same yarn, same weight, same texture. These sweatermates can give you a "Fashion First" this summer. Ascots are gaining in popularity and are very useful as a bold color accent or when used in subtle shades to tone down a bright jacket or sweater. Fashion Detail: The p o c k et handkerchief (all white or colored silk square) worn in the breast pocket of a business suit can ei- ther be a touch of sophistication or a bit of a cornball. Avoid the precisely folded points. The handkerchiefs should be in casual fold or in the "puff fold". The straight even line is definitely square and out. Color: The spring and summer scene is bright and dynamic with raw "hot" shades having cooled down a bit. Color takes on a white, lighter appearance about a frosted quality. There is a blaze of color :in swimwear with the shorter boxer type the most popular shape. Note: The most predominant color impact is being felt from new style treatments of the classic red, white and blue. Look for the upcoming fashion trend of the use of white and whitened eff ects in the summer wardrobe. You'll see it in slacks, blazers and shoes - a clean, fresh, cool look for summertime. Wardrobe Hint: Balance your wardrobe with one dark and subdued jacket. The dusky blues are running strong. Note: A new model in sports jackets is the 1962 version of the double - breasted c o a t with a rounded front and a button-off back belt. If the pattern in the jacket is a bold plaid, make it a strong color. For stripes, the colors should be more subdued. Comfort is the important feature in the summer headwear. Straws will increase in popularity. Many men who disdain dress hats may find the "right thing" for them in a beach or fun hat. �6 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON STUDENT SKETCH . Barry has never performed as an actor, either in his high school group, The Buskins, or in Cue and Curtain. According to Barry, most people interested in the theater make the mistake of not joining a theatrical group because they· can't act. He states, "Besides the acting, all other fac ets help to create the illusion; the staging, makeup, lighting, and so forth." Take for example, as Barry did, the production of Ibsen's Enemy .of the People. Work on this play started immediately after the One Acts presented in March. Theater members began working on scenery or "flats" as they are re·ferred to in the theater. As soon as the barest skeleton of scenery is r eady, it is plac~d on the stage to help the actors become accustomed to dt. Soon the lighting people begin to string the lights above and along the stage. They work with the color and placements of the lights as the play moves through rehearsal. In the meantime, makeup, costume, and properties t echnicians are fulfilling their end of the production. This aspect of theater plays has involved Barry for the last eight years. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Gun.tel, he was born in Brooklyn and now lives in Woodmere, Long Island. He is a senior business administration major. Barry chose to come here after investigating the fadlities of many colleges. "I saw a number of colleges, but when I got here, I liked what I found. The people were friendly, the college was small, which was something I wanted, and when they wrote me I was accepted, I wrote back, 'I am coming.' If I had to select all over again, I would still come to Wilkes." When asked about his Cue and Curtain experiences, Barry replied briefly, "Many varied and wonderful. I wish more people would take advantage of the theater as workers and spectators. Response to programs should be greater among students and faculty members." Mrs. ~nne Liva, faculty member of the Wilkes College Music Department, has returned from her first tour as adjudicator of the National Pia~o Auditions, sponsored by the Nat10nal Guild of Piano Teachers. . Si_n ce A•p ril 8 she has been judging m South Carolina. She left May 10 for North Carolina and Georgiia and will return May 26. On June 15 Mrs. Liva will open the new aud~tio~ center jn Stroudsbur.g. Begmning June 20 she will judge the entire audition of The Greater New York Institute of Music in Brooklyn. Mrs. Liva is the Scranton Chairman of the Nat,ional Guild of Piano Teachers; a faculty member and adjudicator of the Guild; and "District Two" chairman of the Pennsylvania Music Teachers Association. This district includes seven com_ities in northeastern Pennsylvania. Barry Gintel Gintel has resided in Barre Hall for the past four years. His comment on the men of Barre was short, "Fantastic bunch of guys." He has been a member of the Asse:r:nbly Committee s,ince the end of his sophomore year. This committee as a whole plans any assembly that does not involve students or faculty members. Barry's particular responsibility is making staging arrangements for every assembly program. In his experience on the Assembly Committee Barry has found, "It is difficult to get an assembly program that is both enterta,i ning and educational." Barry commented on the Jazz Concert programs, "Fantastic idea, if you get the right performers, the right organizers, adequate support, and -e liminate the word "jazz". This particular word has a stigma that is unfortunately not understood accurately by many people, and may not invoke the response that is needed for this type of event. It has to be the type of program that will appeal to a large group of people partially because of the finances involved.'' Off campus Barry has served as a Red Cross volunteer driver and a 1,ighting technician for the Fine Arts Fiesta. POME ROY' S Men's Dept.

In September it will sponsor the V a n C l i b u r n International Pi an o Competition with a first prize of $ 10,000. This is the largest cash award ever offered in a musical contest. Other pr.izes are $ 5,000, $ 3,000, $ 2,000 and $ 1,000 for the second, third, fourth and fifth place winners. The biennial Recording Festival of the Guild offers over $ 20 000 in cash prizes to young pian'ists who perform in the National Auditions and receive a high rating. The $ 100 cash awards are presented to pianists who play each year a memorized program of at least ten pieces and maintain an excellent plus average for ten years. A Wilkes College p i a n o major will receive this award in June.

Dean Doane began her assignment here in 1954 and in addition to serving as Dean of Women, she has also served as advisor to Theta Delta Rho and to the assembly committee. Students at Wilkes have always been in close proximity with Mrs. Deane's office because all were welcome to come in and discuss serious personal problems, plan affairs, or merely pass a few moments of the day. All of us have become acquainted with her geniality and willingness to assist in any way possible. . We indeed owe a debt of gratitude to Mrs. Doane for he:r untiring, unselfish dedication to the college. It is a privilege and to her husband, Dr. John Doane, best wishes for every and o her husband, Dr. John Doane, best wishes for every possible happiness. Identity of .Eighl-Year:wOld 'Manuscript' Contributor Is Revealed by B·a rbara A. Lore Many readers of the current Manuscript were probably perplexed by the vague identification line--a contribution from an 8-year-old girl whose mother is a student-on the poem "The Love of the World." The identity of this mystery writer can now be revealed. She is Sybil Fischman, 3rd grade daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Fischman, 107 Maffett St., WilkesBarre, an extremely precocious child who has written a play, short story, and several other poems besides this one. Sybil wrote this poem as an anniversary present for. her parents since she as the youngest child had no allowance with which to .purchase a gift. Dr. Philip Rizzo, advisor of the Manuscript, discovered the poem when Sybil's mother, a student in the Temple Graduate program, brought the poem into class to share it with a friend. Impressed with the quality of the verse, Dr. Rizzo suggested the possibility of having the verse printed in the Manuscript. Sybil, who also enjoys reading poetry immensely, has been encouraged in her literary interests by her mother who is an instructor in the Wilkes-Barre City.

Dear Editor: As the end of the year grows nearer with each tick of the clock I feel that the time has come to reflect on the "Spirit of Wilkes." Complaints of apathy and lack of social life float around campus like a heavy cloud and those who complain most are those who do the least to dispel the gloom. Wilkes is relatively an infant school and it is natural that a college such as ours would not have the traditions or the extravagant social functions that the ancient Ivy League is noted for. But we, the students of the present, have an opportunity that others do not have or can not ever hope to have. We can initiate the traditions of Wilkes and help to raise the college to ne:w heights scholastically and socially. A college should be more than a diploma factory. It is a way of life to which more should be given than is taken away. The years one spends in school should be period of growth, both mentally and socially. It is a time when attitudes change and develop and it boils down to one thing: Wilkes is what the students make it, and the success or failure of all activities depends on the attitude of the participants. Incidentally it does take participants to make any function possible. I personally believe that Wilkes has come a long way in a short time and it need not take a back seat to any comparable institution. If some of you disagree with me, speak to students who attend other colleges. I have found many who are amazed at the number and type of social activities we have here. I am proud to say I am from Wilkes and I am happy to have had the opportunity to serve as Chairman of the School Spirit Committee. It · has meant many headaches but it was worth every pain. I wou.ld like to thank the clubs, organizations, and individuals without whose help and cooperation the task would have been impossible. In particular I wish to commend the regular and loyal mimbers of the committee itself who gave much of their free time to insure the success of our many projects. The · recent Spring Week end could not have taken place without the ai-d of Mr. William Jervis and his crew, Jerry Moffat and the Economics Club who handled the arrangements for the Outing, John Biga and the Radio Club who supplied the sound equ1pment, Mr. William Denion who helped in procuring the refreshments and food, and Mr. Robert Morris, Mr. Arthur Hoover, and Miss Millie Gittins who have served as advisors and chaperones for many of the year's activities. Thanks also to Mr. Robert De Young and Senor Jose Rebas who served as chaperones for Sunday's outing. It should also be noted that many groups outside the school have contributed the use of equipment to us. A special thank you goes to the Wilkes-Barre Park Department, Major Webber of the National Guard, and the WilkesBarre Junior Chamber of Commerce who supplied the lights for the Carnival; the Sun Oil Company for the use of the pennants; and Dairy Dan Incorporated for the fine publicity. In conclusion I say thanks again to everyone for everything. Let's keep Wilkes going in one direction - up! Jerry Shilanski Chairman, School S1pirit Committee Editor: On behalf of the Student Government we would liike to thank the entire student body for their excellent co-operation in making the Cinderella Ball a success. The enthusiasm and co-operation of the many people who devoted hours of Friday, May 18, 1962 Umla, Versatile Instrumentalist, Specializes in Church Music by Gloria Zaludek Walter Umla, a senior music education major specializing in organ and piano, made his musical debut at age two when he sang a solo for his church choir. Since then he has developed his love for music by studying violin, piano, and organ. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Umla of Mountaintop, he accounts for his deep interest in music by recalling, "Good music has always been a part of my home life." Walt's family enjoys not only listening to, but also playing, good music. Having studied violin and piano, Walt had never had lessons on the organ. But when, at the age of eleven, he was asked to play for a church service, he consented. He remained for eight years as organist for his church in Mountaintop. His interest in church music has been augmented by his three-year position as director of music and as organist for the W estmoor Church of Christ in Kingston, and as organist at the Westminster Presbyterian Church of WilkesBarre. A graduate of Fairview High School in Mountaintop where he was accompanist for the mixed chorus for three years, Walt has been extremely active in campus life at the College. As a freshman he was in the chorus for the Cue and Curtain production "Annie Get Your Gun." He has been accompanist for the Collegians and a member of the mixed chorus throughout his college years. He is a three-year member of the Oratorio Society, and for two years Walter Umla has sung with the Mad rig a 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ Singers.

They are especially impressed by those buildings which front on South River Street and feel that the River Common, fronting on the dike across the street, forms a beautiful lawn for the campus. Thus, this area provides the campus with the further feeling of traditional college roominess.

Captain Bud Menaker is one of these performers who deserves such a ranking. During his two-year career at Wilkes, Bud has been a consistent player who displayed superb conditioning and a good deal of skill A senior Political Science major, Bud compiled a 3-4 record in singles competition this season while logging a 4-3 mark with his partner Bill Klein in the doubles matches. These records include one exhibition match in addition to the regular MAC contests. At Wilkes, Bud played intr amural basketball with no little proficiency and also clinched the intramural tennis championship last year. (This tournament was not held this year). Bud resides in Warner Hall where he serves as dorm vicepresident. He has also ser ved ably on the Student Government this yea r . In an interview with this r eporter, Bud said that this year's t eam was capable of producing a winning season, but it was hampered by a lack of experience on the part of a f ew players. He stated that the t eam generally was in excellent condition, thanks to the expert training and coaching of Mr. Tom McFarland. Bud Menaker Bud is a native of Harrisburg where he starred for William Penn High School in tennis, captaining the team in his senior year . . Before coming to Wilkes, Bud went to Pennsylvania Military College where he pariticipated in varsity tennis in his freshman year. The team, Bud stated, was disappointed in their performance. They were provided with new fa. cilities, including twenty thousand dollar s in courts and excellent equipm.-ent, and the team f eels that they failed to prov,ide a.n adequate return on that investment. We on the ·Beacon Sports Staff, however , feel that the team has not let Wilkes down, but has been a tribute to the Wilkes spirit. They played spirited t ennis with a high regard to sportsmanship. Bud Menaker has been the foremost exponent of this type of play and we extend congratulations to this skilled and gentlemanly performer. We take pleasure in naming Bud "Athlete of the Week."

Concluding drills will be held this afternoon at the hockey field after which the Blue and Gold grid candidates will exchange their gridiron armor for the blue books of finals. For the past two weeks the gridders have been working out under newly-appointed coaches Schmidt, Goobic, and Spudis with the results of the spring drills showing the first-year experiment a highly-successful endeavor. Schmidt has high praise for enthusiam of the squad as they worked to replace the excess poundage acquired during the winter with solid muscle In an interview with the Colonel mentor, this reporter learned that the 1962 football squad will continue to employ a basic T- and wing T- formation. Working out at the quarterback slot during the spring drills have been 'B ill Schwab, a letter-winner from last campaign; Don Brominski, a transfer from Dickinson; and Rich Dallon, a newcomer to the ranks. Schmidt noted that returning members of last year's squad have shaped up well in drills which have featured skull sessions and light-dummy workouts. Returning letter-winners on the line, co-captains Bill Meneeley and Jerry Mohn, Bob Herman, Len Rishofski, Chuck Cherundolo, Ed Reese, Ron Mussleman, Roger McLaughlin, and Pete Winebrake, should give line coach Frank Spudis a formidable forward wall for the season. The quarterbacking chores will be ably handled by the three candidates mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The biggest problem facing the Colonels is the lack of "bulling backs." Coach Schmidt stressed the necessity of high morale on the team in order to produce a winner. When confronted with a prediction for the fall season the first-year mentor replied, "We will do the best job we can. That is what I ask and expect of my team." Training rules for the squad are few, loyalty and self-discipline. When the players realize that they must be in top physical condidtion to give their best, loyalty and self-discipline will set the individual rules. Each player must know "the team is only as strong as the slowest man getting back to the huddle." When asked the most important element in winning football S?hmidt answered, "Mental stance--never estimate your opponent to~ high or too low but face them as an equal. Conditioning, know how to block, know who to block, and don't make mistakes complete the picture." In tal!king with the new coach this reporter found the enthusiasm and determination to return winning football to Wilkes. If the team can respond with "the best they can" enthusiasm found in their mentor Wilkes football will return to the top of the sports world. ' Independent All-Stars Conquer Dorm and Facully All-Siar Teams Last Friday afternoon the Independent League intramural softball all-stars bested the Dorm League all-star aggregation, 9-7, in an exciting contest, the outcome of which was not decided until the late innings. Led by the staunch pitching of Evan Jenkins, the Independents banged out a string of singles to cap the victory. The game was strongly void of long-ball hitting and the defensive work of the Independents was excellent. The Gauchos placed five men on the allstar team while the Naughty Nine and Seagram's 7 added three and two ·players respectively, to the roster.

Buddy Huntgarter was the winning pitcher. He was relieved in the sixth by Evan Jenkins who finished the game. Huntgarter also provided much of the offensive power for the all-stars as he crashed a home run and a single. The faculty had its own stars in John Chwalek at second base, John Reese at short, Dean Ralston catching, and Dirk Budd on the mound. Mr. Capin, Bob Morris, and Francis Pinkowski also provided the cheering fans with a good share of thrills.

Bowling Tournament of Champions To Be Televised from Indiana top prize of $16,000. The bowlers will begin the Tournament on Saturday, May 19 by rolling 24 games. Each bowler will roll against every other bowler. The 25th game will be a "position" game. Each bowler will bowl the man who immediately precedes him in scoring, thus second-place man bowls the firstplace man, fourth against third, sixth against fifth and so on through the entire list. In this round, as in the 24 preceding games, the bowler is credited with one point for each game he wins and one point for every 30 pins he knocks down. The three top scorers meet on T.V. and the winner is determined by total pinfall for two games. As with many bowling spectaculars of the past, AMF will coproduce the "500" Festival Tournament of Champions. �Friday, May 18, 1962 Wll.KES COLLEGE BEACON 6 STUDENT SKETCH Schwartz Broadens Knowledge Through Varied Experiences by Barbara A.

This issue of the Beacon marks the twenty-seventh and final in a series of issues know as volume twenty-six. In looking back over the past academic year, we find that the college has noted some proud achievements in practically every possible area of expansion. Glancing at the past issues of the Beacon has brought back to us many pleasant and a few unpleasant memories, with the pleasant recollections by far in the majority. Beacon volume twenty-six has reported stories of wide and varied interest from football games to semi-formals, from student elections to the plans and activities of any number of groups and individuals. No single issue of the Beacon could have been possible, however, were it not for the tremendous amount of assistance rendered by many, many people. To our own staff members we extend a multitude of thanks for their many deeds of sacrifice and service. In particular, the untiring efforts of news editor Cynthia Hagley and feature editor Bob Bombay in producing each issue were invaluable. George Tensa and his sports staff did a tremendous job of keeping us and our readers informed of sports developments and an important post on any newspaper, that of the business manager, was capably filled by Ronald Sebolka. A faithful staff of reporters supplemented the work of the editorial board and many of these are to be commended for services above and beyond the call of duty. Noteworthy among these were Jerry Krasa, whose experience and dedication of time and energy proved to be inestimable, and Jerry Shilanski, who took time out from a busy schedule of other campus activities to share his writing and photographic talents with us. Included also in this group of outstanding reporters are the men and women who will compose next year's editorial staff. Gloria Zaludek, Mary Frances Barone, Barbara Lore, and Jim Jackiewicz spent many hours in -the Beacon office not only during the past year, but during all of their years at Wilkes. To Mr. Francis J. Salley, faculty advisor to the Beacon. go many thanks for his continued support and advice throughout the past year. To the members of the Beacon staff, Mr. Salley has served not only as an advisor, but also as a close friend. Mr. Livingston Clewell and Mrs. Barbara Fritz of the Public Relations Office were constantly ready to lend a helping hand by making news and pictures available which the Beacon staff sometimes missed. Mr. Stanley E. "Pop" Schmidt and his sons, Leo and Ed, of Schmidt's Printery also contributed much to each issue which went beyond the normal task of the newspaper printery. In addition to those directly associated with the Beacon, there were many members of the faculty, administration, student body, and college employees who were always ready to assist in any way possible with information or advice whenever needed. Last, but by no means least, my personal thanks and appreciation to my parents who have persevered through a year which has been filled with "never a dull moment". It has inded been an eventful year, and one which, needless to say, I shall not soon forget. With all the difficulties and problems of the past year, there is still a bright side, one which I am sure we all wish we had the opportunity of living over again. Fellow classmates and friends, In a ve~y short time, the Cla~s of 1962 will graduate. As pres1dent of the class I wish to express my -gratitude and thanks to the faculty and student body for their help in making this a very pleasant four years. . While it will be impossible to see each of you personally, 1 would like to take this opportunity to bid you all a goodby. Respectfully, Joseph C.

A special thanks also to Cynthia Hagley who did a most commendable job in her capacity as president of AWS.

They have added the right touch to many school affairs often without remuneration.

Thus do the k b h 1 foreign students on campus spea a out a senior psyc o ogy major from Butler Hall, Pericles Spyropoulos. Perry can well understand the apprehensions and problems of a foreign student. Arriving in New York from Platy, Calamaea, Greece five years ago, he was able to read English but could not speak the language. Concerning his arrival at the airport Perry said, "I didn't understand what people were saying to me, so I simply smiled and hoped for the best." He added that he has certainly received the besta college education, friends, and fun. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodoros Spyropoulos, Perry attended ·Anargyrios High School in Greece where he had the highest academic average for three years. He then came to America and was graduated from St. Paul's High School in Garden City, New York. "After six months," he said, "I had a little trouble with English." Incidentally, P erry has mastered the language, and has only a slightly detectable accent which adds to his charm. Studying at the College oh a scholarship under the auspices of the Anglo-American Hellenic Bureau of Education, Perry plans to study for his doctorate degree, then r eturn to Greece where he will teach and do research in psychology. He feels that the College psychology department is an adequate one, but that it could be by Lynne Dente improved with added laboratory "They were really superb ar- equipment for research. tists.

Fran Corace, assisted by Michelene Wysocki, has succeeded in accumulating approximately 200 flags for the display. Homer warned, "Beware the Greeks bearing gifts." But those gifts which Perry has brought to the campus poise, ambition, friendship - and the gifts which he will take home - knowledge, foresight, maturity - are to be accepted and cherished.

The course session at the college will be taught by Mr. Welton Farrar. Dr. John R. Coleman, head of the Department of Economics at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, will be the national teacher. He will develop the content of the lessons, introduce guest speakers and panelists, and coordinate the course. The course is aimed primarily at high school teachers because an economics course will be required subject for all Pennsylvania high school students beginning in the Fall of 1963. Wilkes College is cooperating with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction in making available this course for college credit to assist high school teachers in developing the competence to improve the teaching of economics in their courses. This program has been obtained through the Learning Resources Institute in cooperation with the Columbia Broadcasting System. The fee is $100 for the 32-week course payable in $50 installments at the beginning of each semester.

Offered To Rauscher and Sebolka The senior athletes who each year make their marks in small college sports often are lost in the maze of glamour that surrounds the fellows who participate in the major college events. But without backdrops of screaming crowds or accompanying fanfares of large-sized headlines and booming publicity, they do quite well for themselves and receive fair praise from the small bands of well-versed fans who keep abreast of results in the lesser-known competitions Eller Krisulevicz Friday, May ·25., .1962 Gavel Occasionally, though, a big hero will catapult from the unpublicized realm of small college sports to the public limelight. Last autumn, Jim Brunza, a ruggedly-built 210-pound Colonel tackle, was-for a while-one of the kings of the sports world. Jim had gained little All-American laurels for his fierce lineplay on an outstanding vote of the opposing coaches. Jim was praised throughout the East for his All-American rating, a fitting tribute to one of Wilkes' stellar performers. In addition to being a skilled gridman, he is a strong heavyweight wrestler, and last week garnered Beacon "Athlete of the Year" laurels. Hearty congratulations are in order this week to Lou Rauscher, sports editor of the Sunday Independent. Lou will meet his match in Scranton's Holy Cross Church, where he will wed Miss Marion Gower. The Beacon sports staff salutes the amiable sports editor as its "Athlete of the Week". * * * Mr. and Mrs. Theodore F.

The bride-elect is a graduate of Forty Fort High School, and is employed in the business office of the Bell Telephone Co., WilkesBarre, where she is secretary to the office manager. The prospective bridegroom is a graduate of Kingston High School, served four years in the United States Air Force, and is an accounting major at Wilkes. Ronnie is the business manager on the Beacon staff. Ronnie and Alice will be married on September 8. Lettermen Elect Erwin Guelig; Award Neil Dadurka Scholarship by Kathy Thomas . Erwin Guetig, a junior, majoring in business adm.iriistration, was elected ,to preside ov.er the Lettermen's. Club in a meeting on Tuesday. A previous "Athlete of the Week", Erwin has participated famously in soccer, earning him honors and collegewide recognition. With his home town in Union, New Jersey, he has temporarily moved his residence to Butler Hall, where he previously filled the post of president. Elected vice-president was Jerry Mohn, a junior whose major is chemistry. Dick Morgan, a . sophomore E-z~glish major, will reign as secretary of the club. The treasurer's position will be filled by a junior commerce and finance major, John Adams. Pete Winebrake, a sophomore business administration major, and Brooke Yeager, a junior, majoring in secondary education, will act as the executive council for the lettermen. Elected to the publicity staff were Bob Smith, a junior secondary education major, and Dick Bender, who is a junior with biology as his major. Chuck Cherundolo, a junior, majoring in biology, will serve as sergeant-at-arms. The club also announced recently that this year's recipient of the Neil Dadurka Memorial Scholarship award is Robert Weston of Although Jim is a powerful performer, the real test of a team is its balance.

The St. Louis Hawks of the NBA scouted Pugh and put the senior co-captain on their option list for next year's action. Aquilino Rick Rees, and Don Eller with Tom Krisulevicz and Paul Aquilino. Eller was named to the All-East squad twice during the past season for his play in the interior of the Wilkes line while Gavel got "Athlete of the Week" honors for his proficient tackle play. Rees, the shortest end in the conference, t eamed with linebacker Aquilino to make the right side of our defensive front line impregnable. Krisulevicz carried the offensive :burden of the team and s·p arkled with his defensive chores as safety man. John Miller, a thrilling performer whose sports uniform is a bathing suit, is the reigning king of divers at Wilkes and •p erhaps the best diver in the history of swimming as an intercollegiate sport at Wilkes. John is an engineering major who will transfer his studies, and highboard talent, to Penn State in the fall. Wrestling, although generally associated with the growling antics of the show business-minded ,professionals, has its serious side, too. The real thing, although not a gimmick-loaded exhibition, contains a Another successful revival this past year-less austere than foot- much more severe test of exacting athletic skills.

Bell_as, duffer captain, ha~ only suff~~ed one setback on the links durmg his four years of varsity competition, a record comparable to the record of pro golfing's finest performer, Arnold Palmer. Rich has sparkled on the greens with his "red-hot" putter and has developed into a strong driver under the watchful eye of Coach Farrar. Bud Menaker is considered the top courtman for the netters with a powerful serve and strong volley. Bud captained the tennis squad this season and acted as the backbone in the number one spot. The long -ball hitting of Paul Aquilino has been a strong point in the attack of the Colonel nine. "Acq" is a four-year veteran of the diamond wars and shows his playing maturity with his patroling of left field. Since many of the athletes listed have performed in an outstanding manner for four seasons with little or no recognition for their performances, the Beacon salutes the senior stalwarts for their skills and det ermination while r epresenting Wilkes on the athletic field and commends them for being a valuable asset to Wilkes. . . ·I /, ki- 41111 I · Tensa Roberts sport.

However unimpressive the records may appear to some sports enthusiasts, we feel that the various players and t eams have had a most commendable season and proved themselves very worthy opponents, considering the caliber of our opponents and the ,p olicy of the college not to subsidize our athletes. Win and loss records never tell the entire story, only the final results. Hidden behind the final statistics are the loss contests decided by one run or a touchdown, or a scant foul shot. Again this past season, the football team experienced a losing campaign, posting a 2-7 record. Here again, the Colonels suffered from lack of p ersonnel and numerous injuries. The 2-7 record fails to show the true ability of the players. We believe that the footballers should be commended for their stellar defensive play and for their persistent, · ggressive spirit in the face of sometimes insurmountable odds. This past season also marked the end of the five-year regime of Francis Pinkowski as head grid coach. Recently-appointed head mentor Roland Schmidt has held a spring practice session with surprisingly profitable results, and is looking forward to a winning season next fall . The soccer squad finished the season with a 4-6 log and were 3-5 in MAC competition. Led by Clyde Roberts, Chuck Weiss, Frank Lepore, Erwin Guetig, and Ted Toluba, the hooters played spirited soccer, but were hampered by a lack of experience on the part of several players. Though not as proficient as former teams, this season's Colonel hooters were a tribute to Wilkes. Next on the list for review is the basketball team. Here we find a performance which may be deemed embarrassing to the college. The Colonel cagers finished the season with 2 wins and 17 losses. This pathetic performance is not indicative of the caliber of the players on the roster, for there were many fine ones, but it only accents the obvious lack of height on the team and a number of injuries to key players at inopportune times. In its first year of competition under Coach Ken Young, the swimming team splashed through the season without a victory. The swimmers showed no lack of ability, but suffered quite a bit from lack of experience. This can be eliminated only by meeting more opponents. The team hopes for a heavier schedule next year to enable the swimmers to gain the needed experience and put together a well-rounded team. After five years of domination of l\Iiddle Atlantic Conference wrestling, the Wilkes grapplers were dethroned by the Warriors of Lycoming College. Although the Colonels defeated Lycoming during th e season in a dual meet, they proved to be too powerful in the tournament. Coach Reese's wrestlers finished with a 4-4-2 slate. Although not compiling a winning record, the wrestlers were a tribute to Coach Reese and the college. The team lost a number of key men through graduation and academic shortcomings, but the replacements found by Reese to fill their glaring gaps were more than adequate. Though generally inexperienced, the team was never overpowered by any opponent. The baseball team finished with a 5-7 won-lost record and played aggressive ball throughout the campaign. Hampered by a lack of pitching depth, the Colonel diamondmen had a generally successful season. With a goodly number of players returning, the baseball team is hoping to contend for MAC title honors next season. The tennis team ended the season with a 2-4 ledger, which could have been reversed with a more fortunate set of circumstances regarding their contests. Three contests were rained out, and two of these would probably have proceded victory for Wilkes. With only one senior on the team, pros pects for next season are definitely bright. The _golf team recently completed another successful season with a victory over Albright College. The team placed thirteenth in the Middle Atlantic Tournament, and ended the season with a 6-2 chart. In closing may we express our thanks for many entertaining and often times, thrilling contests 1p erformed in the various sports areas by the numerous Colonel athletes.

The last issue of the Beacon for the 1961-62 school year has been put to bed and there is nothing to do but sit back and reminisce on a year as sports editor. It seems like just last week that we put out the first issue, and twenty-seven issues later we have managed to place a sports section in each issue. Twenty-seven issues-that means lots of stories and lots of news ,t o cover. All of the intercollegiate sports w ere covered along with the intramural sports and a few fertures to cover a person that has played a major part in the athletic world at Wilkes College with little or no recognition for his endeavors. " Outstanding Cager of the '50's" and a Fifties Dream Team were chosen by the student body and honored at a special ceremony at a wrestling - basketball doubleheader. (One thing I still can't figure out is how Dean Ralston managed to steal his way into all of the Dream Team pictures. I had everything planned so I could be in the photos but the agile Dean of Men always beat me to ~he flashbub . Oh well_ as the Wilkes sport saying goes, you can't wm them all.) Twenty-seven issues of sports coverage means lots of work among a balanced staff and the Beacon is proud of the efficiency of our small, but closely knit, staff. Jim Jackiewicz, who takes over the reins as head mentor of the sports page next year, was a constant Tuesday night seven-to-two companion. I only hope Jim gets an assistant next year who will render as much aid to him as he did to me this year. Dale Jones and Barry Bryant gave good coverage to all their assignments and responded with top stories. Feature stories by Barbara Lore and Kathy Thomas added the female appeal to the page. Kathy and Earlene Jones played a steady tune on the typewriter keys to •k eep output at a fast pace. Jerry Shilanski and Don Hancock proved invaluable for their great photographic work. Our honorable editor-in-chief, Wayne Thomas, was a great help with emergency page make-up at the printers and, in s•p ite of his lack of allegiance to Jerry Krasa's Phillies did a very good job in keeping the sport page in balance. (That m·eans half sports and half ads.) "Pop" Schmidt and sons Ed and Leo were invaluable with their helrpful hints. If it wasn't for Ed I doubt if I would have ever learned to spell Bill Meneely, or is it Meneeley. Not enough praise can be heaped upon the Public Relations Office where "Pop" Clewell and Barbara Fritz were always ready to lend a helping hand, or to .Sports Pub 1 i city Director Arthur Hoover, assistant professor of business administration, who worked hand in hand with the Beacon s;ports staff to get top coverage of all the athletics. Local sports editors, Bob Patton of the Record, Jim Lee of Times-Leader, and Lou Rauscher and Tom Heffernan Jr. of the Sunda,y Independent, co-operated in all the endeavors and showed the spirit of good athletics prompting good citizens. The coaches, managers, and athletes have all been very helpful in getting the back-of-field angle on many of our stories. Rick Rees was top football ex,pert for the staff but wanted his picture in the paper every week as a reward. Frank Lepore of soccer, Tom Pugh of basketball, Brooke Yeager of Wrestling, Jack Barnes of swimming Rich Bellas of golf, Bud Menaker of tennis, and Matt Himlin of baseball all added the personal, locker room air to the stories with their remarks. Not to be forgotten in credit lines is Lee Rohlfs, a secretary with a magic touch of good work, who handled the tallying of the Dream Team voting. Twenty-seven issues lot of work by lots of people some connect ed directly with the Beacon and others as remote as one could imagine.

How she ever won this epithet remains somewhat cloudy and it brings a blush to Nancy's face whenever she is referred to as the "Breakfast at Tifany's" girl. This nickname may be due to Nancy's sprightliness, grace, and beauty. Modest as she is about these qualities, the students on campus must recognize them, for she was nominated as a Cinderella candidate. A further sign of deeper recognition is the diamond on Nancy's lef.t hand. Her fiance, Mike Armstrong, class of '61 is currently in Naval jet pilot training, Meridan, Mississippi. He attended pre-flight training in Pensacola, F I o r i d a . Mike joined the Navy in July, 1961 and will be in for five years. He was a business administration major at Wilkes and a member of the wrestling team for four years. Mike and N a n c y plan to be married in August. They will live in Texas for several months. When asked for her reactions about being a Navy wife, Nancy replied, "He loves it, be has always wanted to be a pilot. He might make a career of it." It is obvious that whatever Mike wants is fine with Nancy. She would rather talk about him than herself. Nancy is really interested in her art work (so is Mike). Even with her major career of wife and homemaker, her future spouse will encourage Nancy's continued study. During her four y e a r s here, Nancy has studied under four different art teachers. In her freshman year, all of her art courses were taught by Mr. Chester Colson, now head of the Art Department. She studied under Mr. C at ha I O'Toole in her sophomore year, Mr. Andrew Palencar in h e r junior year, and Mr. Kent Kirby this year.

Bonnie received the Linda Morris Memorial Award presented to the w o m an student with the highest cumulative average for the first three years of her college career. In presenting the award, Dean Ahlborn explained that it was initiated in 1952 by Herbert Morris, then registrar of the college, upon the death of . his young daughter Linda, who had spent .a happy childhood on Wilkes ea.rnpus. The second award was presented by Mrs. Julian Ripley, President of Wilkes Faculty Women's Club. This sixth annual award of the Women's Club went to Jane Lavaty, as the female member of the freshman class who attained the highest average last year. Mrs. Ripley explained that the purpose of the award is both to provide incentive for scholarship achievement and to reward performance . In the absence of Dr. Farley, who is in Philadelphia on a fundraising mission, Dean Ralston welcomed the student body. In this initial address, he emphasized that quality of education attained is more important than quantity. Following this line of reasoning, he defined an educated man as one who has learned to use his language precisely, accurately, and beautifully, bases his thinking on facts rather than emotional prejudices, is a gentleman, is able to render a worthwhile service to mankind, has a profound belief in the principles of constitutional government, and understands that there are forces in the universe which transcend the mate1,ial and physical realms. chores in an effort to avoid or ,p ostpone it. Dr. Julia Kundermann calls this the "law of perversity." Her advice: plan to do something your really detest and you'll be surprised by the number of routine chores you'll get done in an effort to dodge it. Initial Meeting Held; Solons Outline Program The United Fund Drive, School S•p irit's Homecoming and Bonfire program, and the Undergraduate Dinner Dance were among the main topics discussed at the initial meeting of the Wilkes College Student Government last Tuesday evening. Jerry Moffatt, general chairman of the United Fund Drive, stated that Lou Coopey and Merle Benisch will be day student chairmen for the junior and senior classes respectively. Upon completion of the revised sophomore roster a committee will be appointed, as is the case with the freshman class. On behalf of the School Spirit Committee, Edward Rogalski outlined the plans for the Homecoming and the Bonfire. He discussed the expenses concerning the transportation and other details of Homecoming handled by the committee. Fred Smithson, general chairman of Homecoming, appointed James Jones, head of dormitory decorations; Conrad Wagner, flowers and gift for the queen; Beacon, selection of queen and bet court; and TDR, decorations. As reported by ·B ernard Cohen, general chairman, the Undegraduate Dinner Dance date was designated as October 13. Herbie Green and his orchestra will provide the music. Seniors Host Frosh Tonite Seniors will host freshmen at the "Limbo Twist" tonight at 9 in the gym to the tune of fifty cents. A ritual is scheduled for intermission, when a twist and limbo contest will be held with chaperones and the class executive council acting as judges, Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each contest. Sport coats are required and refreshments will be served. General chairman is Jerry Moffett; Pat Rossi is in charge of refreshments; Merle Benisch, tickets; Brent O'Connell, arrangements; Charles Schmauch, publicity; Rosalie Kackauskas, contest. ACTOR TO REVIEW POETRY The "Spirit of Man", a dramatic presentation by Bramwell Fletcher, noted Broadway actor, will be featured at next week's assembly. Representative works of f~mous classical poets will be reviewed. In addition to the 425 freshman faces, seventeen new faculty members have arrived on campus. The newcomers were feted at a buffet dinner in the Commons last Tuesday evening. Dr. Eugene S. Farley, president of the College, and Mrs. Farley acted as hosts, introducing the new instructors to the administrative staff and faculty. Those joining the respective departments are as follows: Philip J. Richards, art; Mrs. Sarah Schonwetter, Harry Gershenowitz and Dr. David P. Woolridge, biology; Dr. Robert W. Soeder, chemistry; Robert A. West and Dr. John V. Hulser, education. Also, Patricia Boyle and Charlotte V. Lord, English; Dr. Cees J. Fritjers and Matilda Mansilla, foreign languages; Dale A. Buehler and Mrs. Dorothy Malloy, library; James DeCosmo, mathematics; Donald E. Marcase, .music; Roland C. Schmidt, physical education; Dr. Ralph B. Rozelle, physics; and Donald K. Zellner, psychology. . In the following weeks, the Beacon will run feature articles on the new instructors. Two New Dorms Added; Sturdevant Remodeled by Lillian Bodzio Freshmen are not the only people who have to adjust to new surroundings when they come to college. At Wilkes returning students and faculty members as well are often greeted with an altered environment. The big change to the Wilkes College campus this fall is the addition of two new dormitories. Miner Hall, a new men's dormitory, is located · at 264 South Franklin Street. Acquired by the College in December, 1961, the building was the home of the late Dr. Charles Miner, former member of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees. Extensively renovated, Miner Hall now houses 25 male students under the proctorship of Pete Greenberg. Sturdevant Hall, a former class building, along with the recently acquired left side of the building, has been converted into a women's dormitory. The right side of .Sturdevant was once the home of William Sturdevant, a former Wilkes-Barrean, and was obtained by the College in 1952. The left side was, until, 1962, the property of the Ahlborn family, of which Dean Ahlborn is a .m ember. Presently the Hall houses 38 students, the largest number of women in one dormitory on campus. Mrs. Agnes .Silvany is the housemother. - - Dr. Michelini Leaves Dr. Francis J. Michelini, dean of academic affairs and biology professor, will begin a one-year leave of absence next week to join the staff of National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C., as assistant program director, returning to Wilkes in September, 1963. In his new capacity in the nation's capitol, Dr. Michelini will travel extensively, supervising programs inaugurated in more than 500 c o 11 e g e s and universities (continued on page 4) �2 EDITORIALS- 'BeaCOn' Extends Welcome Sentiments sound as empty on paper as welcome speeches sound when delivered over a dead microphone. We of the Beacon staff, rather than writing lengthy letters of welcome to faculty, upperclassmen, and freshmen alike, have decided to welcome all by dedicating our first edition to you, our readers. If our newspaper seems slightly disorganized this week, we want you to know that we planned it this way. It harmonizes with the general confusion which reigns on campus for the first few days of classes. Bewildered freshmen attempting to locate classrooms seek the aid of upperclassmen who are also having difficulty finding their own classes, since several of the academic departments and faculty offices have been relocated. In addition to the two new dorms on campus, Sturdevant and Miner Halls, the College has added seventeen new faculty members to its growing population. Needless to say, the freshman class, the largest one to enter Wilkes, has brought a new look to the campus-the look of determination and excitement tempered with mild anxiety. Come to think of it, this look really isn't so new. It typifies the way many of the upperclassmen felt when they, too, were lowly frosh. As we once again enter the area of college life, though, let us not lose ourselves in its trivia. Extra-curricular activities are important and fun-filled. But if we believe that the business of college is learning, let us demonstrate that belief by concentrating on academic affairs. Our social life is augmented and stimulated by our academic achievements, our knowledge, our insight. May this year be a happy and fruitful one for us all. WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, September 21, 1962 Curriculum Redesigned Program for Engineers Course Choices Added Valley Residents Respond Eagerly To Japanese Student's Plea for Aid Tradition Threatened Upperclassmen must make a choice this week. They must choose either to carry on one of the oldest campus traditions, hazing, or to abolish it. Throughout the years Student Government, with the cooperation of campus student leaders, has set up an orientation program to welcome and acquaint the freshman class with our campus. Freshmen usually abided by the rules; upperclassmen often failed to enforce them. Student Government has ruled, therefore, that if upperclassmen do not participate in this year's hazing program. the program will be discontinued. Besides assimilating freshmen into the student body, hazing helps to unify the freshmen as a class. This unification, brought about by their wearing clinks and ties qnd carrying pennants, helps the class to work together as a group. Their class project, once again the United Fund Dance, also draws the class together, enabling them to recongnize class leaders who may be eventually elected to class offices. As it stands, the responsibility of the freshman orientation program rests with the upperclassmen. We must welcome the freshmen by helping them to know us and the campus. The best way to do this is, of course, to introduce ourselves to them. Show your interest by asking for their help. They are excellent entertainers, waiters, and errand runners. Don't let their talents remain latent. Student Government is adamant in its proposal to end hazing this year if upperclassmen do not show an active interest. The tribunal last Tuesday was well attended by the freshmen, but too few upperclassmen were there to see retribution made for the freshmen's "crimes." It seems, however, that one spot on campus, the cafeteria, is keeping tradition alive. Freshmen serve the upperclassmen, and dutifully sing or cheer when so instructed by them or by the public address system. Today at noon those freshmen found guilty of past crimes will undergo due punishment. The sentences of the tribunal will be carried out on all areas of the campus. Upperclassmen, lend the poor frosh y o u r moral support by attending their executions.

The shift dress or latest version of the sack is making fashion news on college campuses th i s fall. Most often styled with a jewel neckline, the shift is featured in dark paisley prints flattering to all. The shift is popular with college coeds because of its versatility. For campus wear it is most comfortable beltless. For dress up occasions the addition of its self belt and gold or silver jewelry provides the finishing touch. Hairdos this fall are not as elaborately teased. They tend rather toward the natural look. The same styles remain in vogue the page boy, Dutch boy, and French twist most popular of all. This season classic colors in classic materials are the order of the day. The fall color abacus predicts red in every shade as the top color. In blouses, dacron and cotton mixtures and oxford cloth are most in demand. For heavier articles of apparel such as skirts and slacks wool monopolizes the market. One of the biggest looks that is expected to sweep college campuses is the "cowboy" look. The look is characterized by a bandanna scarf around the neck, skirts held up by suspenders, and boots which range anywhere from the ankle to just below the knee. The accessory picture includes scarab bracelets, pins of brushed gold, and gold chain belts. The most popular handbag is the small clutch in madras. Traditional loafers and knee socks complete the fall fashion story. �Friday, September 21, 1962 Wll.KES COLLEGE BEACON 3 Colonels Gird For Coming Campaign ~ - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Schmidt Revamps Te am; Modern Merlins Eye Crystal Ball; Reorganizes Grid Set - up Lo!!.~~~!~!~. ~!!~.!~~~!~~~th!~!.~eont rustle of multi-colored leaves shed by the ludicrous travesty of burlesquing trees.

Unworthy McClintock Shmoos Hislorians Debate - Esther "Naughty" or "Nice" Gallant historians are salvaging a lady's reputation. Local authorities have reviewed the case against Queen Esther, Wyoming Valley's legendary wicked woman, and have partially exonerated her of blame in the infamous Wyoming slaughter. Local tradition has long branded this part-white Indian Queen the executioner of fourteen American soldiers at Bloody Rock in Wyoming Borough in 1778. But local dignitaries, including Queen Esther Post 270, American Legion a n d the Wyoming Valley Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, recently decided that this judgment was too peremptory, since there is no concrete evidence attesting to the fact. As a result of their decision, the old marker erected in 1897 at Queen Esther's Rock, or Bloody Rock, has been replaced by a new one, less positive in its wording. While the old one stated flatly that Esther, out of revenge for the death of her son, slaughtered the brave patriots "who had been captured in the battle of Wyoming in July 1778," the new marker prepared by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Committee states only that "On the night of July 3, 1778, after the battle of Wyoming, fourteen or more captive American soldiers were murdered by a maul wielded by a revengeful Indian woman, traditionally, but not {!ertainly .identified as Queen Esther." A colorful creature with a varied life, Queen Esther was commonly believed to be a daughter of French Margaret and a grandaughter in the Indian sense, of Madam Montour. Esther later wed a Munsee chief and shortly after the French and Indian War moved with her family from the west branch to the north branch of the Susquehanna, settling near Ulster. Since she protected settlers at the beginning of the Revolution, it is considered debatable in many quarters whether she would have killed the fourteen prisoners. Although tradition assigns her that role, some historian., doubt whether she was even in Wyoming at the time. After the war she is said to have married a Tuscarara chief and to have moved north with him to Cayuga Lake. SUPPORT THE UNITED FUND ·- - - - Schmidt To Be Present At Kickoff Dance; Will Introduce Squad Tonight from 9 p.m. to midnight in the gym, the Women's Activities Association will sponsor a Kickoff Dance, honoring the football team which will be opening the season against Moravian College in Bethlehem tomorrow afternoon. The gym will be decorated with pennants representing the school colors of blue and gold. Coach Schmidt is expected to be present at this annual affair, and during intermission will be introduced to the student body and given an opportunity to introduce the team. Jack Melton's orchestra will provide the music for dancing. Donation is 50 cents. The W AA, consisting of the cheerleaders, majorettes, and kickline, elected the officers for the '62-'63 school term. They are Lorraine Dyers, president; Linda Seymoure vice-president; Gail Roberts, secretary; Jody Morrison, treasurer; Elaine Kozemchak, social chairman; and Jane Edwards, publicity chairman. Kiddie Day Today, designated as Kiddie Day on the Wilkes College campus, will conclude the freshman hazing program which has been in effect during the past two weeks. As part of the program, the freshmen have been requested to dress for this special occasion; the boys wearing suits, white shirts, their Wilkes dink and tie, and the girls wearing high heels, appropriate dresses, their <links, and carrying the Wilkes pennant. These students must bring pull toys which will trail behind them as they follow their daily schedule. The toys, in return, will be collected following the .p ep rally at noon today, and donated to St. Stanislaus Orphanage and the Salvation Army. At the pep rally, the toys will be judged by members of the Student Government and prizes awarded to those "owners" pulling the most interesting toy. Hell Night "Hell night" was celebrated last night by the freshmen who met at 8 p.m. Organizing in front of Conyngham Hall, these boys, each wearing their Wilkes dinks, ties, and can-ying their pennants, paraded uptown, through the Boston Store, around the Square, and down River Street to Dr. Farley's home, in front of which they sang the Alma Mater. Skit Night On Tuesday at 7 :30 p.m., Dorm Skit night commenced, and in the following hour, the Wilkes gym echoed with laughter as each dorm presented an original skit. The skit chosen as the most amusing and original by members of the Beacon staff was "The McClintock Shmoo." The picture to the left shows the "Shmoos," namely Joanne Margolis from Cedar Grove, N.J.; Carolyn Jenkins from Dover, N.J.; Joyce Turner of Levittown; and Beth Sedari from Hazleton. Roberta Smith, not shown, served as ringmaster of the group. "My name is Shmoo. I squish under your feet. I am an ill-bred nebish. I am a viscious, vivacious, tenacious, pugnacious, ferocious beast," was the featured script.

Several years ago an editor of the Beacon set a precedent which we should like to continue. "Near the beginning of the school year," he wrote, "it would be advisable for an organization such as this paper to make a general statement of its · t t· d ·t li " m en ions an 1 s po cy. Perhaps our aims can best be summarized by answering the question: What is a newspaper? A newspaper is a disseminator of happenings, an advertising medium for businesses. It is both of these, plus a number of things; but above all it is a free voice. People may disagree as to what a paper should do, but most will agree that a paper must be free. No one denies that freedom can be abused; nevertheless, freedom must be qualified, when necessary, by truth, decency, and high ideals. In the pursuit of noble goals we are not infallible. When commenting editorially we believe we are right. And because we are free to voice our opinions, this same fr e e d o m applies also to our readers, who are always free to arrive at their own opinions. Journalistic freedom on the campus means a newspaper with an opinion, a living newspaper. Not a tool for a few, but a mirror for all; an independent voice reaching out to everyone. When we fail to reach these goals, it is the right and duty of our readers to tell us so. We expect no praise and welcome criticism. We know no other way to improve ourselves. Letter to the Editor · · · I++++++++++++++++++++++++ T~e Beacon W)lkes College Wilkes-B_arre, Pa.

TR:£S CHIC Coat Styles Vary Widely; Eased Look Most Popular by Maryann Wilson Mlle. Mag. College Board Member Fashion houses are featuring a wide variety of styles in coats this winter. The classic chesterfield is shown primarily in black watch plaid. Double-breasted coats particularly in navy are slated to be most popular. The English schoolboy coat which is slightly shaped, loosely fitted, and low-belted adds a distinctive European touch to coat news. The Bermuda coat and shift coat are two novelties of the season. The Bermuda coat is of three-quarter length and especially suited for campus wear because of its casual styling. The shift is unsha-ped and boasts a drop waist. Frankly feminine is the slightly flared city sleek coat which completes the winter coat picture.

These marks of an educated man are stated explicitly at the beginning of the Wilkes College Bulletin. There is one in particular-the ninth-which could well be used to describe Jim Walters, this week's personality in the student sketch. It states that an educated man participates constructively in the social. economic, and political life of the community. In order to actually present a true pidure of Jimmy, it should go on to say that he also participates in these same activities at his school But for the sake of fonnality, the mark of an educated man, as stated, will do. Best known as the president of W i I k e s College Student Government, Jim does not limit his activities to this organization. After serving as J.C.C. parliamentarian for the past two years, Jimmy was honored by this organization last year, when he received the outstanding rotating chairman award. In addition to serving as officer in the above-mentioned organizations, Jim has also served as chairman of the Cinderella Ball, freshman orientation program, and the scholarship and .b udget committees of the student government. He was also an active committee member for last year's winter carnival. Exemplifying the p h r a s e of "service to community as well as school," Jimmy also serves as treasurer of a local church youth group, and has taught Sunday school at the Albert Methodist Church for three years.

Prize Winner's Work Among New Additions On Library Shelves �Friday, September 28, 1962 Wll.RES COLLEGE BEACON 3 Gridders Open Tomorrow at Moravian Greyhounds Loom As Bug.ged Tesl; iReese Seeks Rosters Are Well-Manned in All Positions For Intramural League; Soccer Team at Home Tomorrow; Host Talented Lycoming Squad Tomorrow the Colonel gridders initiate a new campaign at Bethlehem where they encounter the mighty Greyhounds of Circle KTo Run Loop Moravian College. Coach Schmidt's charges are eager to avenge last season's 14-7 loss to Moravian. In that contest, the Colonels led until the final eight minutes when the alert Greyhounds turned a miscue on a punt and an intercepted pass into two touchdowns. This season, the Moravian grid machine appears to be more formidable than ever. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED magazine has named the Greyhounds a prime contender for top honors in the Northern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference, A number institution as a team to watch among the small colleges of the beginning of the Wilkes College "Bulletin. There is one in East The reasons for this optimistic outlook are manifold. Coach Rocco Calvo, who has been head mentor at Moravian for seven years, has nineteen returning lettermen and can count on filling key posts with experienced men. At halfback he has speedy Jim Kelyman, leading North MAC back last season. Kelyman gained more than 570 yards last year rushing and catching passes. He also led the team in scoring with 40 points. Joining Kely.man are Frank Groblachoff who gained more than 230 yards last year, and Jim Groff, another hard runner. The quarterback corps is led by Russ Devore. Bill Hino, a bull-like runner, is handling fullback duties. The Moravian forward wall is composed entirely of returning letter-winners. Coach Calvo has a number of talented newcomers to round out a well-balanced team. Colonels Well-Manned However bright the Moravian hopes appear to be, the aspirations of the Wilkes squad compare favorably. For the first time in many years, the Colonels have optimistic ,p rospects which are built on solid ground. Head Coach Roland Schmidt has fourteen returning letter-winners to form the nucleus of the two complete teams he has formed. The starting team will absorb most of the experienced players, since they will play the most minutes, both offensively and defensively. Schmidt has announced a tentative starting lineup although circumstances m a y c a u s e late changes. At right end will be Roger McLaughlin, a 6:00, 165~pound sophomore. A Kingston native, Roger was one of the leading pass receivers last season. Filling the left end post will be Ron Grohowski, who measures 6 :03 and weighs 185 pounds. Ed Reese, a 6 :00, 176-pound junior is challenging for a starting berth. The right tackle position will be filled by Chuck Cherundolo, a 5:10, 225-pound senior from Old Forge. A veteran, Chuck is a vital cog in the defensive alignment. At left tackle will be Len Rishkofski, 6:00, 213, or Chuck Adonizio, 6:01, 220. Both boys have been brilliant in practices and scrimmages to date and each should see a good deal of combat tomorrow. Veteran Guards Right and left guard posts will be filled by Pete Winebrake and Jerry Mohn, respectively. Winebrake, 6 :00, 192, is a veteran of two years of college ball and also was named to the All-Marine team while in the service. Mohn, 6:09, 200, serves as a co-captain of the squad. Both Winebrake and Mohn are crisp blockers and crushing tacklers. Mohn's prow e s s has earned him numerous honors in MAC all-star selections. At center will be Bob Herman, 6:00, 206, or co-captain Bill Meneeley, 6:01, 205. Each has displayed improvement over last season and currently the center post is vacant. Herman may have an edge due to a recent illness to Meneeley. Bill Schwab, a 6:10, 175-pound sophomore, is expected to start at quarterback ahead of Don Brominski, 5:10, 177, and Tom Trosko, 5 :09, 165. All three signal-callers are accomplished pa s s e rs, but Schwab gains the nod because of his experience. Running from right half will be Frank Wallace, who stands 5:08, and weighs 170 pounds. Frank is a quick, hard runner who was one of the leading Colonel rushers last year. At left half will be the shifty Ted Travis-Bey. Although considered small (5:07, 160 pounds), Ted may become one of the foremost ball-carriers in Wilkes history by virtue of his brilliant speed and broken-field running ability. Filling the gap at fullback will be Ed Comstock, 5:11, 180, or Bert Shiffer, 5 :10, 180. Each boy has been impressive throughout drills. Their duties will consist of filling the void in the backfield left by the graduation of Tom Krisulevicz. From all reports, this will be plugged effectively. Coach Schmidt has assembled a goodly number of players in addition to those mentioned above, and has welded them into an efficient gridiron machine. Schmidt Optimistic In speaking of tomorrow's contest, Schmidt mentioned the edge the Greyhounds hold in experience. He stated, however, that this edge can be neutralized by hustle and drive on this part of the Colonels. He is quite pleased with the progress the .p layers have made during the spring and fall drills. Their reaction to his new system of football has been both quick and favorable. Employing the basic T and winged-T offensive alignments, the Wilkesmen will produce a varied attack. The passing game is improved over past years, according to Schmidt. The Wilkes team, Schmidt states, is going to Bethlehem tomorrow to win a ball game. The players are well-trained and confident. Tomorrow will mark their first test. Athletic Director John Reese has requested that intramural football rosters be submitted to him as soon as possible in order to make schedules and begin the season. Originally, the league play was to have begun on Monday, October 1, but the opening date will be advanced until the following Monday, due to the tardiness of the rosters. It is hoped that enough rosters be submitted to substantiate the forming of two leagues, an independent league and a dormitory loop. This year intramural football is under the auspices of the Circle K Club which will work in conjunction with Reese. Club president Bill Carver and intramural chairman Jack Wills have announced that each club submitting a roster must include a deposit of five dollars. This is to insure a team's playing its entire schedule. Should any team miss more than one cont est, it would forfeit the five dollars. However, if a team plays out its entire schedule, the deposit will be refunded. Any forfeiture money collected by Circle K will be used to take up part of the cost of trophies to be awarded to the respective league champions and the interleague playoff victor. Should no forfeitures be collected, the club will pay the entire cost of the trophies. The team deposit has been instituted to prevent teams from missing a major part of their schedules as has been the practice in past years. Loss of the deposit will discourage such half-hearted endeavors. Officiating for the contest, as well as distribution of equipment, will be handled by the Club. Notices of postponements will be placed on the various bulletin boards about campus well in advance of their dates. Ordinarily, games will be played on Monday through Thursday with postponements to be played on Friday. All contests will take place at Kirby Park at 4:15 p.m. Further details concerning intramurals will be posted. Coach Jim Ferris' hooters will host the Warriors of Lycoming College tomorrow at the Artillery Park athletic field, in a contest beginning at 2:00. The Colonels, who last year rang up a disappointing 3-7 won-lost chart, are seeking to better their performance this year. Last season Wilkes placed ninth in the Northern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference and Lycoming finished with a seventh place post. Guetig Earns Honor As "Athlete of Week"; Sparks Rooter Defense Erwin F. "Gator" Guetig has earned the honor of Beacon "Athlete of the Week." Erwin is a senior business administration major who hails from Union, New Jersey. The big 6:00, 175-pound, center-halfback keeps things moving for the Colonels, as members of opposing squads will agree. Mild-mannered on campus, one has only to see him in action on the soccer field to understand why he has earned the nickname of "Gator." In the first game against Harpur, Erwin showed his usual fighting spirit and all-out effort and gave promise of another fine year. At Union High School, Erwin was a member of the baseball and soccer teams. Here at Wilkes, Erwin tries to quench his thirst for sports by participating in intramural football, basketball, and baseball, as well as intercollegiate soccer. Erwin displays leadership both on and off the field, as is evidenced by his being elected president of Butler Hall last year. He is also a member of the Wilkes Chapter of the Jaycees. Always in top condition and a fine competitor, Erwin Guetig is this issue's selection for "Athlete of the Week." Chuck Robbins Ready to Serve You With a Complete Line of Sweaters, Jacketa, EmbleDlll, Sporting Gooda 28 North Main Street One key to the problems of Latin America may be seen in its education rate. A report in the October Reader's Digest notes that of 200 million people in Latin America, 40 million are of school age. Of these only 3,500,000 finish the sixth' grade and fifteen million get no schooling at all. Keep your eye on the ball, your shoulder to the wheel, your ear to the ground! Now try to work in the position. Lycoming handed the Ferrismen one of their seven setbacks last season by blanking them, 4-0, in a raggedly-played contest. The usually stout Wilkes defense fell apart in this match, as Warrior lineman Joe Nucci penetrated the Colonel defensive alignments for three tallies. Always displaying a fast~moving, daring brand of soccer, Lycoming will aim at stopping a Wilkes team which is bolstered by the return of eight letter-winners. Included in this group are Erwin Guetig, Jim Jones, Bob Eurich, John Adams, Dick Morgan, Walt Prusakowski, Tom Tomalis, and Chuck Weiss. In addition to these veterans, Coach Ferris has a talented group of underclassmen to round out the roster. Varsity Stops Alumni Last .Saturday, the varsity hooters defeated an aggregation of alumni soccermen, 4-2. Walt Prusaikowski, Jim Jones, Bob Eurich, and Jim Creasy each scored for the varsity, while Paul Beers and Younsu Koo found the net for the alumni. Although the alumni led on two separate occasions, timely goals by the varsity and outstanding defensive work by Erwih Guetig and Chuck Weiss put the game out of the reach of the old-timers. Win Opener This past Wednesday the hooters opened their season by traveling to Binghamton and defeating the Harpur College squad, 1-0. A thrilling defensive match followed the opening whistle and continued until the last minute of play. With 52 seconds remaining in the contest WiLkes center forward Bob Eurich slammed the ball past the Harpur goalie and clinched the victory for the Colonels. Fullbacks Erwin Guetig and Chuck Weiss were brilliant as they sparked the Wilkes defense. Goalie John Adams registered his first shutout. Although the Ferrismen moved the ball well they were stymied by a stubborn Harpur defense throughout the contest. weeks.

A bronze beauty from India, Chandra Chatterjia attended the Wilkes College dance last Friday evening. Chandra is from the city of Lucknow in the state of Uttarpradask and has been studying political science at Penn State University for the last 3 years. At the beginning of the evening she remarked that the students seemed very shy and ill at ease with her presence. However, as 1 the evening progressed, her apprehensions disappeared and she noted the friendliness of the now-relaxed students. During intermission the Limbo and Twist contests were held. Never having seen the Limbo performed, Chandra was really quite fascinated, claiming, "When I get back to State College, I am going to try it." The sari that she wore that evening was of an orange-yellow silk featuring many intricate designs Chandra Chatterjia of her native country.

STARLET® Collegians seeking a career that offers challenge might well consider entering the Foreign Service of the United States. Few careers combine as much challenge with as great an opportunity to serve America, according to an article in the October Reader's Digest, In the article, business executive Charles D. Lewis tells of being invited by the State Department to serve on the 1961 Foreign Service selection Boards, charged with the job of reviewing the record of all 3700 Foreign Service officers. He went to Washington, Lewis says, sharing the view of many of his business associates that the Foreign Service c o n s i s t e d .of "dreamers, eggheads and incompetents.'' ·But he became convinced that the men and women who make our foreign policy and staff our embassies abroad are an unusually hard-working, able and dedicated group. College students contemplating Foreign Service careers should be willing to live in less-than-ideal conditions. Lewis writes, "Foreign Service officers regularly take their families to live for years in places where I would hate to go on a one-day business trip." Language skills are a must. Virtually all FSO's speak at least one foreign language; many speak more than one. In great demand are such "hard languages" as Arabic, Hindi, Thai and Vietnamese, among others. Competition for Foreign Service appointments is keen, Lewis writes. About 200 young men and women are accepted each year from the 6000 to 8000 persons who apply. The FSO's are virtually all college graduates, with more than half having some post-graduate work as well. All in all, Lewis concludes, the Foreign service is a place where initiative, imagination and courage are in high demand, and where "striped pants and cocktail parties" aren't nearly as common as work clothes and hard, down-toearth toil.

After four years of teaching at Connecticut C o 11 e g e, Professor Fussell joined the Rutgers faculty in 1955, and in 1957-58 was Fulbright visiting professor at the University of Heidelberg.

Cadets Shine on Offense, Defense; iRooters Play Tomor;~;,~ Bob Herman, "Alhlele of lhe Week," Colonels Drop Opener lo Moravian HoSt Lafayett_e College Excels in Foolball and Wreslling Tomorrow afternoon the Colonel gridders will clash with the Cadets of the Pennsylvania Military College. This engagement will mark the opening home date for the Wilkesmen. Game time is at 2 p.m. at the Artillery Park Field. Last season the Cadets bested the Colonels, 7-0, in a thrilling defensive battle. The statistics showed that Wilkes outplayed P.M.C. in all departments except scoring. The lone Cadet touchdown came as the result of a fumble which rolled into the end zone and was grabbed by the P.M.C. fullback. This year the Cadets are sporting a 1-1 record as they go into the Wilkes contest. In their first contest, with Wagner, they rolled to a 15-8 victory, as they scored in the first and third periods to outdistance the Seahawks. The following week saw Coach Lee Royer's Cadets meet with a 12-7 setback at the hands of W es tern Maryland. The Green Terrors ripped off two first period touchdowns and the Cadets never caught up. As indicated by their record thus far, the Chester, Pa. gridders have 1·etained their rook-ribbed defense which prevailed last year. They employ a crushing ground game and precise short-passing offense. They will be eager to repeat last year's victory over \Vilkes. Colonels Drop Opener Coach Schmidt's gridders succumbed to a tough M o r av i an eleven, 16-6, last Saturday at Bethlehem. From the precision and know-how shown by the Greyhounds, it was evident that they were far superior in experience. Moravian jumped to an early 3-0 lc>ad in the first quarter as Vince Seaman kicked a 25-yard field goal. The Colonels, however, rebounded with a 74-yard scoring drive in the second period. After six first downs, Wilkes advanced to the two, from where Don Brominski lofted an aerial to Ron Grohowski for the tally. Len Rishkofski's placement went astray. Bill Hino, hard-running Greyhound fullback, scored the first touchdown for Moravian, as he bueked over from the one. Seaman's extra point attempt was blocked. Interception Decisive The deciding tally came in the .fourth quarter when end Pat Mazza intercepted a Bill Schwab pass on the Wilkes 24 and burst into the end zone. The conversion was good. Fullback Ed Comstock carried the major portion of the Wilikes rushing attack which netted only 80 yards to 178 for Moravian. Each team picked up 53 yards via the aerial route. Outstanding work by the Wilkes interior linemen prevented a lopsided Greyhound victory. Pete Winebrake, Jerry Mohn, Len Rish(continued on page 4) In Early Morning Game by Clark Line by Harry W. Wilson Tomorrow the Wilkes College soccermen will host Lafayette Colleg e at the Wilkes Athletic Field, with kickoff time set for 2 p.m. The Colonels will be out to avenge last year's 1-0 loss at the hands of the Leopards. Lafayette will be out to better last year's 3-8 record. The Leopards finished in tenth place in the MAC, one place behind Wilkes. Much support is expected to come from the Leopard frosh who compiled a 3-0-1 record. Coach George Davidson has nine lettermen returning, including two second team all-MAC c h o i c es. Leading veteran is captain Herb Weiland, a lineman. Other letterwinners on the line are Art Siccardi, Steve Yolen, and Don West. Fullbacks Fred Hooper, and allMiddle Atlantic Conference second team choice, and Vic Ferraris, return, along with center-half Dick Altman, and halfback Mark Rathleff, both lettermen. Second team MAC goalie Bill Dickerson also returns. Last Saturday the Colonels suffered their first setback of the young season to Lycoming College by a 3-1 score. After a scoreless first half, Lycoming broke the ice by scoring three times in the third period. All three goals were scored by center forward Fred Feigley. Dick Morgan scored the lone Wilkes goal early in the fourth period from thirty feet out. ··- - ·- - - - - - - - - - - - This issue of the BEACON has selected Bob Herman as "Athlete of the Week." Bob is a 6', 205-pound center on the Colonels' football squad. A senior in secondary education, Bob was a member of the football and wrestling teams in high school After a hitch in the armed forces, Bob has continued in both sports here at Wilkes, lettering three times in each, as well as competing in intramural baseball. Line coach Frank Spudis has said that Bob has shown the greatest amount of hustle of any member on the line. He has displayed a great deal of drive and desire. Bob has also shown marked improvement over his performances of the last few seasons. Bob validated the expressions of Coach Spudis in last week's opener against Moravian, when he was given the starting nod, and exhibited a terrific effort in the Wilkes attack. His teammates attested that Bob was in on a great percentage of the tackles in defense, as well as producing many fine blocks on offense. In many instances, spectators are concerned only with the backfield play. As a result the linemen are given less credit than they deserve. This is especially true of the center, who is obscurely positioned in the middle of the line, and executes his duties in a relatively small area. However, Bob Herman drew attention to himself by displaying the same fighting spirit and determination which he shows as last man on the totem pole for the Colonel matmen, when the outcome of a close meet deBob Herman pends on him.

From my lonely, windswept outpost atop the bleachers at the new athletic field, I witnessed, last Saturday afternoon, a soccer contest between the Colonels and the Warriors of Lycoming College. The 3-1 final score in Lycoming's favor does not present a true picture of the game. An 8-1 score would have been more indicative of the hustle and drive displayed by the Lycoming eleven. The boys from Williamsport broke up Wilkes rallies time after time and actually outcharged the Colonel line. It appeared that the Wilkesmen gave too much ground to the Warriors throughout the game. The only ball-hawking done by Wilkes took place dangerously close to the goal. Brilliant play by Erwin Guetig, Chuck Weiss, and Dick Morgan averted a rout. Goalie John Adams made a courageous effort as he recorded 18 saves. If the Ferrismen are to accomplish a winning season, they have ot show more desire and play a more daring game and less conservative brand of soccer. 11 E.

We on the BEACON Sports Stall are satisfied, although not overjoyed, with the performance of the football team last Saturday against Moravian. The Greyhounds held a striking edge in experience over Coach Schmidt's young team. The Colonels did a fine job in staying as close as they did. A winning season is still anticipated with six games remaining on the schedule. Let's support the team tomorrow in their home opener with P.M.C. Although a cheerleader or a cheering fan never scored a touchdown, all help to raise the boys' morale. A vote of confidence is needed. I hope they will receive this vote tomorrow.

This annual affair features, as first prize award, two tickets and transportation to the famed Army-Navy game, and what's more, the seats are on the 50-yard line! Who can see this great gridiron classic at such low prices, like one ticket for ten cents, three for twenty-five cents, or one dollar per book? As if the first prize weren't enough, the Lettermen will present two tickets to a Broadway show, to the lucky holder of the second winning ti0ket. No one can go wrong, as the Lettermen's Club starts selling tickets for this raffle. Third, fourth, and fifth prizes include ten-pound turkeys. This event, conducted each year by the club, is their primary source of income. Money acquired from this raffle is used to defray expenses, but the major portion of the returns each year will help support and continue the scholarship program established by the Lettermen's Club. Being the seventh year that the scholarship has been awarded, previous honors went to Lou Zampetti, Marvin Antinnes, and Richard Voshefski. All three of these boys received the scholarship by being the most deserving freshman athlete to enter Wilkes. Co-chairmen of the raffle are Ronald Henney and Nick Stefanowski, as announced by Erwin Guetig, president of the club. Tickets may be obtained from your favorite lettermen, and the drawing will be held in conjunction with the halftime exercises at the Wilkes Homecoming game with Ursinus on October 13.

An individual's point of view is determined, to a much larger extent than most are willing to admit, by the newspapers that one reads. At the present time differing points of view on how the various campaigns are doing can be found on a single page of a newspaper. For example, one news analyst will say that Scranton now has a very good margin for victory; but on the same page, the reader will find proof that the campaign is a toss-up and nobody knows what can happen. This condition can be exemplified by looking back at the October 1 issue of the Wilkes-Barre Record. Before we can talk intelligently about the different cand1·dates it is necessary to know something about their experience in politics and their general background. The rest of this column will be devoted to short biographical sketches of the candidates for Governor and U.S. Senator.

Salinger has stated, in an explosion of candor, that he lives in Westport with his dog. "If mutual understanding and democratic solidarity between the European peoples sound sensible. then the Common Market makes sense." So spoke Dr. Cees Fritjers in an interview fairly satiated with candor, coffee, and cigarettes. Born twenty miles from Amsterdam, Holland, Dr. Fritjers, who presently teaches French and German at Wilkes, has attended more colleges than the average freshman cares to think about right now. He spent six years at St. John's College in Holland, and received his candidate's degree in Dutch linguistics and literature from the University of Nijmegan, Holland. He then left for Paris to prepare his doctorate degree in general linguistics. In 1955, he earned his certificate, superior degree, h fr S of the Frenc 1anguage om the orbonne University. He then proceeded to attend courses at the Sorbonne and at College de France, and received in 1957 his doctoral degree from the University of Niimegen.

The members of her royal court are Princesses Elaine Kozemchak and Jeanne Mattern. Queen Rowena, a senior sociology major, will begin her official duties this evening when she will lead the torchlight parade to the bonfire pep rally at Nesbitt Park. A flurry of activity will occupy her time for the rest of the weekend. Her majesty and her court will be regally entertained at the homecoming activities which include a parade, several dances, parties, and a football game. Full military escort, composed of U.S. Marines, will accompany the royal entourage in the parade and at the football game. The official coronation ceremonies will occur during halftime intermission of the Homecoming football game at the athletic field, when Dr. Eugene S. Farley will proclaim her majesty's sovereignty. The Beacon, Alumni Association, and Student Government will present Queen Rowena and Princesses Elaine and Jeanne gifts memorable of the occasion. Both Serve College, Church, Community Attending her majesty, Queen Rowena, during the royal weekend will be two lovely Wilkes coeds, Princess Elaine Kozemchak and Princess Jeanne Mattern. As members of the royal court, these two charming attendants will accompany the queen on the whirl of Homecoming activities. Princess Elaine An auburn-haired, hazel-eyed beauty, Priress Elaine merits election to the royal court by virtue of her charm, personality, and enthusiasm. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Kozemchak, Huntsville, this charming senior is enrolled in the fine arts curriculum on campus. Her artistic inclinations are mirrored in many of her campus activities as she is not only cochairman of this year's Artists and Models Ball, member of the Art Club, decoration chairman of the School Spirit Committee, but also past chairman of the first Art Fair in 1961. Homecoming to Feature Variety of Activities; Dinner Dance Tomorrow QUEEN ROWENA Her artistic talents and interest extend to the field of design so that many of Elaine's clothes are self-designed and executed. Her . entire wardrobe for the Homecoming weekend is an original creation. These talents were recognized last year when Elaine was chosen one of the "Ten Best Dressed Coeds" on campus. As evidence of her versatility, Elaine is also captain of Kickline, member of the Associated Women Students' Senate, social chairman of the Women's Athletic Association, and past member of women's chorus, Theta Delta Rho, and majorettes. Further diversification is exhibited in a survey of her summer activities during the last few years. These have included instructing ballroom dancing, arts and crafts, and twirling as a Dallas district playground director, reporting and general office work on the Dallas Post, and roving photographer for her dad. Elaine's immediate plans for the future include teaching art and perhaps free lance art work. Princess Jeanne Princess Jeanne's wide range of interests - from water ballet to cooking - and all-American loveliness make her also a natural choice for the royal court.

We are pleased to see our old friends once again on campus, and extend a hearty "welcome home" to the alumnL We hope that they enjoy this Homecoming 1962 and return safe and happy next year. This year, as in past years, the College has labored to fill the reunion weekend with excitement and glamor. Student Government, the classes, clubs, administration, and faculty have all planned activities to welcome the alumni and to show their pride in the graduates. Spirits will run high this weekend. With the wide range of parties scheduled, though, it is likely that some spirits may come from bottles. Neither condemning nor condoning this supposition, we remind all that gasoline and alcohol form a lethal combination. Neutralize it with coffee; have a safe trip home; and return to the campus year after year. G.M.Z. • Hail, Nobility! A regal threesome, indeed~-is this year's Homecoming court. Queen Rowena, a charming coed with qualities of leadership, intelligence, and initiative, presents an outstanding impression of herself and of Wilkes College. Princesses Elaine and Jeanne, too, have added much to the campus with their poise and enterprise. These three women are truly representative of our campus - young, eager to improve, tireless in service to friends and community. Royal congratulations to our court! The choice of the court was made from a list of sixteen nominees. The standards used in the selection were: active participation in campus life, high scholastic achievement, and exceptional good looks and grooming. The runners-up in the election were all well qualified, and the decision was a difficult one to make. Those nominated were: Elaine Adams, Mary Frances Barone, Merle Benisch, Bonnie Jenkins, Rosalie Kackauskas, Jean Ann McMahon, Eleanore Nielsen, Linda Palka, Linda Paonessa, Barbara Piledggi, Lorraine Rome, Lynne Stockton. G.M.Z. Dr. Farley Cited Dr. Eugene S. Farley was among eight Pennsylvania college officials and professors cited for their inspiring leadership and outstanding contributions to education at a higher education convocation held in Harrisburg recently. State School Superintendent Charles A. Boehm presented citations to the group at the 41st annual Education Congress of the Pennsylvania Association of Chief School Administrators on October 2. The citation presented to Dr. Farley declares: "Citation presented to Dr. Eugene S.

DAVID FENDRICK by Mary Alice Gabla Why do we work? Mr. Kanner of the psychology department suggested that man may , either be motivated by the rewards of labor - ego involvement or by the work itself - task orientation. To see which of these suppositions was nearer the truth, Mr. Kanner set up a controlled experiment with his students as the participants. In some classes he withheld test mai,ks until the final grade was due, while in others he periodically notified his students of their progress. (Of course, Mr. Kanner was careful to avoid jeopardizing the grade of a failing pupil by leaving him unaware of low marks.) Cynics might be quick to suppose that the world moves only in the direction of personal gain, but Mr. Kanner is happy to cut them short with his findings.

Friday, May 25, 1962 ~ OLE' MISS. And the growth of Wilkes' dramatic group has been rapid and impressive. A few years ago the group was content to produce their four plays a year. Last year, however, saw a full, uncut, dramatic production of Cue and Curtain televised locally. Fendric,k, who directed the entirely student-produced "Impromptu," truthfully admitted that it "wasn't that good, but it was a first." ~ ~~ '~--', ' ·-~ .; __ . ' Salute to Courage Our modern world is basically a group-oriented one. This is the day of the organization man - of majority rule - of the "mob personality." How often we forget that the individual is the basic unit of the group, that it is the one that gives the many power. Meekly we bewail the weakness of our lone cry againE\ the roar of the crowd. Yet there are fortunately some who have escaped this indoctrination. Sidna Brower, editor of The Mississippian, University of Mississippi school daily, is such a person. In his syndicated column of October 3, Bob Considine commends Miss Brower for raising her voice against the multitude, relating that, in the middle of chaos and race hatred, she directed a scathing editorial at hundreds of her fellow students engaged in an attack on the U.S. , marshals guarding James Meredith. Her plea was for rational thought and cahn action, - her view transcended the emotion charged present and forEfsaw the disastrous implications of an attack on the f~eral government. Refusing to hide behind her pen, she was up bright and early Monday morning touring the battle-scarred campus to accept the consequences of her stand against the prevailing view. In Mr. Considine's words "One by one they (her fellow students) came up to her and told her she was right." The Beacon editorial staff wishes to join Mr. Considine in a salute to Miss Brower's courage. BAL But "firsts" and Fendrick must be mutually attracted because presently he and the other members of Cue and Curtain are preparing their next presentation, the first college production of "The Music Man." This production, Fendrick added, will also be only the fifth or sixth amateur production of it anywhere. With the theater having held such a starring role in his past and present, it is of little wonder that the theater will take top billing in his future. He expressed a desire to get into summer stock this slimmer and in September to attend Yale Drama School. Through "just breaks" and being "strictly lucky," Fendrick said that he had got a good agent. "I'm not out to become a star. I just hope that I have the talent to meet the luck which has been given to me." Eventually he hopes to direct and perhaps teach on the college level. �Friday, October 12, 1962 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Cooperation of Jobless Seniors Urged by Placement Bureau by Lynne Dente Seniors, have you an ideal job situation in mind for next fall? If you do, chances are you won't get it, according to Mr. John Chwalek, Director of Placement at the college. 3 Student Panelists to Discuss Cotroversial Subjects On ''Focus'' However, the chances are you will receive a job if you follow certain steps. Since U,.e college is not required to get jobs for the students, it is important that the students cooperate with the Placement Bureau by taking advantage of all available opportunities. Students should write letters and arrange interviews, and they should complete these obligations as quickly as possible. Mr. Chwalek emphasized that if the student lives up to his obligation the Placement Bureau "will do all it can" to get the student a job.

Protection of the passer has been pathetic. Quarterback Bill Schwab was smashed down countless times as the P .M.C. blitzing simply could not be stopped. Bill wound up losing 41 yards through no particular fault of his own. He was harried all afternoon. Tom Trosko met with similar consequences during his periods of action.

It appears that last week's comments in this column concerning the soccer team served some other purpose than filling up space. I doubt that my flaming words whipped the Ferrismen to a frenzy, but it is gratifying to me that they played their finest game of the season last Saturday in edging the Leopards of Lafayette, 2-1. The entire team clicked for the first time this season and did play a daring, fiery brand of ball. Congratulations, Booters, well done! LITTLE KNOWN FACTS (AGAIN) After weeks of concentrated research and laborious compilation, the BEACON Sports Staff has finally completed its statistical analysis of the football team. Following are the results of this detailed study: The team weighs 7,276 pounds, and is 262 feet, eleven inches tall. It is 737 years old (except Bill Meneeley who's twelve). Our findings also divulged that it has 80 eyes (averaging two per person). One rather significant statistical check showed that the team has 80 feet (77 left and 3 right). Other details of this survey are two awesome to mention in a college newspaper such as this. So to avert mass suicides and other related occurences, we will end our resume' here. - -- - -- -- -· ·------- - -- - - Playboy Magazine Makes Preview Of lhe "Back-lo-Campus" Fashions team for a year and a half. In addition to sports, John's likes include, of course, girls, and functions of the dorm and Letterman's Club. We might add that John is president of Gore Hall and treasurer of the Letterman's Club, as well as chairman of the Jaycee Membership Committee, giving evidence of his knack for leadership. John began his soccer career at Wilkes two years ago, and has lettered each time. He opened the season with a shutout against Harpur, proving to be a brick wall for the boys from Binghamton. In the Lafayette game, John spoiled the Leopards' scoring attempts on numerous occasions with saves at the net, sparking the Colonels to a 2-1 victory. Each time John got the ball he sent it booming back toward Leopard territory. John said that the team played a good game, and in spite of a slow start in the first quarter, showed a lot of hustle during the rest of the game. "We pushed them harder than they pushed us," he added. Because of the tight schedule, John can see no reason for not having a winning season if the boys continue to hustle. For his leadership ability in many facets of campus life and his alert play, the Beacon feels that John Adams has earned the honor of "Athlete of the Week." • ··::;:::;;r· BUT SLEEVE LENGTHS IN ARROW® SPORT SHIRTS Editor's Note: This article is submitted by Robert L.

Last year the Grizzlies handed the Wilkes squad a 12-6 whipTomonow the Wilkes College soccermen will host Fairleighping, and no doubt are eager to repeat that performance tomorrow. This year's Ursinus squad boasts its entire starting lineup of 1961 with the exception of Dickinson at the Wilkes College Athletic Field, with kickoff time fullback Gary Leach. The Bear passing gam e is the best in the Southern division of the set for 11 a.m. Fairleigh-Dickinson posted a fine 8-2-1 record last year in MAC. Quarterbacks Ron Emmert and Dennis Quinn will alternate in throwing to All-ECAC winning the Garden State Conference, and will meet Wilkes end Bill Scholl Scholl is generally considered the finest receiver in the conference. for the first time in several years. Next Wednesday the Colonels will host Gettysburg College with kickoff time set for 3:30 p.m. Gettysburg posted a 7-2 record in the Northern Division of the MAC last season, while finishing in third place. The soccermen will be out to snap a three-game losing streak at the hands of the Bullets. The Colonels handed Lafayette a 2-1 setback last Saturday to run their record to 2 wins and a loss. The first Wilkes goal was scored by Jim Creasy late in the third quarter, and Dick Mor·g an scored the other early in the fourth quarter. The Leopards' only goal was scored by Herb Weiland.

Their ground game, although not on par with their passing attack, is adequate and should test the Colonel line. Their experience might give them an edge over the Wilkes boys. Colonels Jarred by P.M.C. Last Saturday the Wilkesmen suffered a sound thrashing by Pennsylvania Military College. At the short end of a 30-0 score, the Colonels were outplayed in almost all phases of the game. Each of the Cadet touchdowns was set up by Wilkes mistakes and the Colonels failed to profit by any of the surprisingly few P.M.C. errors. In the first qua1·ter the Cadets recovered a Wilkes fumble on the Colonel 33-yard line and quickly turned this into a score. The final 14 yards were covered by a pass from quarterback Allen Brewster to Tony Closkey. Cox swept right end for the 2-point conversion. Wilkes lost another fumble in that quarter. I The second quarter saw Wilkes begin to roll as Bill Schwab hit Ron Grohowski with a quick pass to put the ball on the 34. Teddy Travis-Bey then electrified the fans with a dazzling jaunt around right end to midfield. A roughing-thekicker penalty gave Wilkes a first down on the P.M.C. 35, but the attack bogged down at that point. After an exchange of punts, an interception by P.M.C. led to another score and a 15-0 halftime lead. 1 1· Cadets Tough in Second Half Shortly after the second half kickoff, Joe Trainer of P.M.C. recovered another Wilkes fumble, this time on the home team's 20. This was easily converted to another TD. Bob Pellerito blasted in from the 2. Another interception by Joe Carter set up the last Cadet score. This one finally came on a 16-yard pass from Brewster to Al Duble. The conversion made it 30-0 and ended Wilkes' hopes for victory. The P.M.C. line completely outclassed that of the Colonels as they held the Wilkes rushing attack to minus 8 yards. Wilkes completed 8 of 21 passes for 65 yards. Eighty-five yards of penalties on P.M.C. aided the Wilkes cause, but, apparently, not enough. Always regarded as a perennial power, the Stevensmen were completely devastated by the impregnable defense of Wilkes. Fullbacks Chuck Weiss and Erwin Guetig, center halfback Dick Morgan, and goalkeeper John Adams (Athlete of the Week) were spectacular in thwarting all of the Stevens offensive threats. Adams recorded 20 saves to record his second shutout of the current campaign. Offensively, the Colonels were also superb. The entire line moved the ball accurately and quickly to keep a steady pressure on the Stevens defenses. The Colonels' first two goals came in the second period and both were scored by Al Gilbert. Jim Creasy was credited with an assist for each tally. Bob Eurich added a n o t h e r marker in the third stanza with a sharp blast past the harried Stevens goalie. This contest left the Colonels with a 3-1 record thus far. Fairleigh-Dickinson and Gettysburg will test the validity of the record.

This is exactly what is happening in the campaign for the governorship of Pennsylvania. Republican candidate for Governor William Scranton asserts that Governor Lawrence and the Democratic Party have not been doing enough to create a good business climate. On the other side, Democratic nominee for Governor Richardson Dilworth argues that Pennsylvania does not have the environment to attract new industry, but he says that this condition is of backward-looking policies of fifty years of Republican domination. Furthermore, Dilworth argues that recently unemployment has dropped in Pennsylvania. On another issue Scranton contends that Pennsylvania has not taken advantage of federal aid for highway construction, whereas Dilworth points out that Pennsylvania ranks fourth in the nation as to new highway building. Need for new industry and highways are highly publicized issues and almost anyone could have predicted the stands which the two parties would take on them. I Pelican Dominates "Kiddie Day" " Kiddie Day," the grand finale of the freshman hazing program, featured prizes and applause as Bob Cresko from Kingston, majoring in economics, was awarded first place in the men's division for the most unusual and amusing toy.

Miss Linda Ewing, a student at Wilkes College, has arrived at Aix-en-Provence, France, where she has been accepted as a student at the Institute for American Universities, a universityabroad program which is now operating there for its fifth year under the auspices of the University of Aix-Marseilles. Miss Ewing, who is the daughter of Mrs. Helen Ewing of 3420 78th Street, Jackson Heights, New York, went to Aix from Wilkes-Barre and expects to return to Wilkes College to complete her college work. A major in sociology, she expects that this year of study abroad will not only offer an opportunity to complete a normal year's work acceptable toward her degree but will give her much more fluency in French. The experience of living abroad will also provide an excellent way of deepening her understanding of European viewpoints and problems. ~ · BOOK REVIEW Works of Greek Author Found Vital, Stirring by Richard L. Dalon Nikos Kazantzakis is a Greek playwright and the author of more than thirty books of drama, prose, poetry, and philosophy, who is only now "coming into his own" as one of the literary greats. Two of his novels have been published in the United States. His book, "Zorba the Greek", was noted .) in the December 21, 1953 •issue of ~Time Magazine as the "richest; :X ,: most exuberant novel of the year." Thomas Mann wrote that the novel "The Greek Passion," the book with which I am here concerned, "is without doubt a work of high artistic order, formed by a tender and firm hand, and built up with strong dynamic power. His crowning achievement is "The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel." Simon Friar's magnificent verse translation of this modern epic has been acclaimed bv critics and reviewers in such siiperlatives as "a masterpiece," "a stirring work of art," "a monument of the age," and "one of the outstanding, Iiterary events of our time."

One such "silent issue" c-oncerns tax investigations. Businessmen must fill out intricate and often confusing forms; in fact, large firms and corporations frequently are forced to keep extra attorneys and consultants just to meet the constant demand of the government for financial records. These forms are checked in cities such as Philadelphia or Hanisbmg for errors for anything which looks susp1c10us. If th e government thinks that there is a mistake, the taxpayer is notified that he must substantiate in documental form that the suspicion or error is unfounded. And he must do it within a limited time period. If the reply is unsatisfactory to the government, the business or tax payer must make amends. Any business being investigated i:-; at a disadvantage because, to l'Omply with the government, it often must dig out the old records and this takes time. If the government does not give them enough time, or the records are lost, the businesses have to admit that they have erred and often they must "fork over" more money. These inconveniences are blamed on the Democrats, naturally, because they are in control. And if they cannot somehow defend_ their po5ition, they may be hmt m the 1i :'-1 ovember election. Pennsylvania businessmen really want something done about this :-;ituation or at least want some reason for it. Since the television debate between Scranton and Dilworth, the campaign issues seem to have degenerated into personal vindictivenef;s and bitterness on the part of the two nominees. Another important aspect of the part~· strategies is that two famous national figures see the Pennsvlvania campaign as important e~ough to come to Pennsylvania on behalf of their respective parties: Eisenhower came here to help Scranton and President Kennedy to personally endorse Dilworth. quired of applicants for admission to most American law schools, will be given at more than 100 centers throughout the United States on November 10, February 9, April 20, and August 3, 1963. During 1961-62 over 26,000 candidates took this test, and their scores were sent to over 100 law schools. A candidate must make separate application for admission to each law school of his choice and should inquire of each whether it wishes him to take the Law School Admission Test and when. Since many law schools select their freshman classes in the spring preceding entrance, candidates for admission to next year's classes are advised to take either the November or the February test if possible. The Law School Admission Test, prepared and administered by Educational Testing Service, cannot be "crammed" for. The morning test contains questions measuring verbal aptitudes and reasoning ability rather than acquired information. The afternoon session includes two tests, one of which provides a measure of writing ability and the other of general background. Sampie questions and information regarding registration for and administration of the test are given in a Bulletin of Information. The Bulletin, which includes an application for the test, should be obtained six weeks in advance of the desired testing date from Law School Admission Test, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey.

The story is concerned primarily with the passion of the people of Greece for freedom and the continuance of the race; the scene is the mountain village of Lycovrissi dominated by a Turkish governor known as the Agha, a debauched, cynical voluptuary, living only for strong drink and pretty boys. The novel begins when the viilage Elders meet in the house of the Archon, hereditary leader of Lycovrissi, to decide on the six principal characters of the Passion Play, staged every seventh year under the portico of the ancient church. But the chosen actors never presented their Passion Play. Instead, along with their fellow townsfolk of Lycovrissi, they lived it. Mr. Kazantzakis shows how the suffering and crucifixion of Christ in Roman Judea might be re-enacted in a modern setting. The lives of each actor are altered drastically by their various appointments. The catalyst is the arrival in Lycovrissi of a caravan of Greek refugees from Turkish persecution led by the gaunt Priest Fotis, whose body is skin and bones but whose spirit is aflame. As this strange and wild story develops, the forty or more characters in the novel come vividly to life. Through its wild scenes greed and lust vie with the faith and love of the Christian doctrine and thP hope for freedom of an enslaved people. Among its many virtues, the domina~in~ _quality of .

Produced and directed by Law~ rence Olivier, England's noted Shakespearean actor, the film features pageantry; social portraiture, and all the political elements that made possible a hunchbacked king's career of brutality and crime in medieval England. Olivier, who also stars, has assembled a formidable cast of shakespearean actors including Sir John Gielgud, Sir Ralph Richardson, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Claire Bloom, and Pamela Brown to support him. Critics reviewing the film, ranging from Parent's Magazine to the psychology faculty of Sarah Lawrence College have used only superlatives in describing it.

Richard Chapline will be baritone soloist. The combined U.N. chorus will be under the direction of R. E. Lovett, chairman of the Music Department. The band, directed by Don Marcase, will play various selections during the course of the p1·ogram. Alfred Groh of the English Department will read a poem of his own composition commemorating Three years of untiring work by joint committees from the various dormatories has finally produced a worthwhile dividend. The efforts of these committees under th e chairmanship of Danny Lyons, and with the aid of present I.D.C. president Jerry Berk, have led to the establishment of a Student Union Building for Wilkes College. This Student Union Building is located in the basement of Barre Hall, and is open to day as well as dorm students. Its purpose is to provide a relaxing atmosphere in which students can eat their lunch and relax. Although not yet fully completed, the building does, at present, contain soda machines as well as a juke box to provide music for dancing. In the future, 1.D.C. hopes to add additional pieces of furniture, a ping pong table, and dorm pictures which will add to the fireside atmosphere. If students support this project, as I.D.C. hopes they will, a soup and sandwich machine may be an additional facility which will be available in the near future. School spirit has also promised a T.V. set to the Student Union Building. Since today marks the dedication of this building, open house will be held from noon to 5 p.m. There will be free refreshments served, and the juke b o x w i 11 provide music for dancing. Everyone is invited and urged to attend. After the inital open house today, the Student Union Building will remain open during the entire school day, with provisions eventually to be made for evening hours. The Student Union Building will be run by a governing body composed of five students. One sophomore or junior will be selected from Barre Hall to serve for a one year term, two dorm students, one male and one female, will be elected by I.D.C. for two-year terms, and Student Government will elect two representatives, who will serve for one year. I.D.C. realizes that although many years of preparation have gone into this project there is still room for much improvement. Anyone who has any suggestions for improvement is asked to contact Danny Lyons at Hollenback Hall or Jerry Berk at Warner Hall.

Local Beauly Queen OIiers Day students have once again shown their willingness to Is ■ help. In contrast to the 78 per cent donations for the United erv1ce lo CO11ege and commun1.1y Fund received from dorm students, day students' contributions Congratulations Day Hops have soared to a staggering 9 per cent. Perhaps some blame must fall to the 60 solicitors who have not contacted many of the day hops. But all students realize that here is a United Fund drive now on campus, and should accept their obligation and donate to the fund. Because the campus has attained only one-third of its $1200 goal, Jerry Moffatt, head of the students campaign, has extended the United Fund drive until next Friday at 5 p.m.. One interesting sidelight to the yearly drive is the fact that another local college has attained and even exceeded its $1.00 per capita donations; whereas this campus has never reached a $1.00 per capita student goal. Perhaps this year, if students meet their obligations and volunteer donations, we will realize our cam pus goal.

The Drexel eleven recorded a victory last weekend by edging powerful Lycoming, 17-14, with a 24-yard field goal by quarterback Gene Bishop in the final ten seconds of play. Halfback Joe Buffalo is the young man on the improved Dragon squad which has a 2-1 overall record thus far and is 2-0 in conference play. Bullalo, 5'-8", 160-pounds, is one of the speediest backs in the Ted Travis-Bey and Friend Southern conference. He posted a rushing average of 4.4 yards per carry last season and is continuing along these lines this season. His running mates include halfbacks Al Wagner, John Schlieter, and Harry Purnell, a bruising fullback. Entire Colonel Line i Earns "Athlete" Honors i by Clark Line This week the BEACON breaks the bonds of convention to institute an unprecedented feature in this column. The BEACON has selected the entire Colonel line as the "Athlete of the Week" for this issue. The "Athlete of the Week" group includes guards Pete Winebra:ke, Dick Blisick, and co-captain Jerry M o h n; tackles Chuck Adonizio, Chuck Cherundolo, and Len Rishkofski; ends Ron Grabowski, Roger MacLauchlin, and Ed Reese; and centers Bob Herman, Bill Meneeley, and Bob Daly. In the Homecoming game with Ursinus, the line played the major part in presenting the alumni with a 12-6 victory over the Bears. To single out a few of the linemen, we would like to mention first of all, Bob Herman. Bob, as usual, played his tough style of football. In numerous tackles on plays coming through the line and at times impatiently penetrating the Ursinus line to break up plays before they could be started, Bob stood out as one of the heroes in a tremendous team effort, with Bill Meneeley and Bob Daly providing support which was by no means paltry. In the closing minutes of the game, another hero of the day was born in the person of Dick Blisick, who put forth an indefatigable effort against the Ursinus Bears. When he helped keep the Bears from scoring, only to have the Colonels fumble on their first play after taking over, Dick dug right back in and led the frustration of another Ursinus threat, to give the Wilkes rooters an exhibition of an exciting goal line stand, and some anxious moments right up to the final seconds of play. Not to go unmentioned are Jerry Mohn and Pete Winebra:ke who helped Dick present a solid center to the Colonel line. Instrumental in turning th e Ursinus end plays into the waiting arms of Chuck Cherundolo, Chuck Adonizio, and Len Rishkofski, were two sophomores ends, Ron Grabowski and Rog MacLauchlin along with junior Ed Reese. Both on offense and defense, the line played tough sharp football, taking 156 yards from Ursinus and allowing the Bears only 54. In salute of a great team effort, the BEACON honors the Wilkes line as "Athlete of the Week." nus Bears 12-6 in last Saturday's Homecoming contest.

Excitement was the keynote of last Saturday's gridiron victory over Ursinus. The Colonels' defensive front line was outstanding in holding the Bears to 54 yards rushing and in pulling off an electrifying goal-line stand which in fact, won the qam.e. On the opposite side of the evaluation ledger, we have the Colonels' defensive secondary which allowed the Bears 142 yards via the aerial route. It seemed that there was a Bear receiver open as each pass play unfolded as quarterbacks Don Emmert and Dennis Quinn completed 14 passes. Tom Trosko made some fine plays in the secondary, the most important of which was an interception which he raced back to the Uninus 16 to set up a Wllkes score. Bill Mulford also played a fine defensive game but the rest of the backfield made mistakes and Upon viewing the performance rendered by the soccer team did not play a consistently good qam.e. The Colonel ground gam.e was especially impressive as they reeled off 154 yards. Halfback Ted Travi&-Bey displayed his broken-field running skills as he darted off with leading ground-gaining honors. Frank Wallace, Bert Schiffer, John Gardner, Ed Comstock each rushed for sizable gains during the game. Only 6 passes were attempted but the pair of completions sustained the final touchdown drive. Although the gric:lders finally came off with a victory, they may not relax. The Dragons · from Drexel will not play dead.

Rooters on Road Swing, Will Battle Dutchmen; Lose Homecoming Game by Harry W. Wilson Tomorrow the soccer team journeys to Hempstead, Long Island to meet the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra College. The Colonels will be out to avenge last year's 3-0 loss to Hofstra with kickoff time set for 2 p.m. Next Wednesday the soccermen will travel to Allentown, Pennsylvania to oppose Muhlenberg College with gametime set for 3:3Q p.,m. The Colonels handed the Mules a 2-1 setback last year and will be out to defeat the Mules again. Last Saturday Fairleigh-Dickinson defeated Wilkes by a 3-0 score. Sam Egan scored the visitor's first goal in the second quarter, and the score was 1-0 a:t halftime. The visitors iced the game by scoring two goals late in the fourth quarter. Egan countered another goal, and Joe Clark added another to give the visitors a 3-0 win. Poor teamwork and lack of hustle hurt the Colonels and the soccermen did not play as well as they did in defeating Lafayette and Stevens. This setback gave the Colonels a 3-2 overall record, and a 2-1 record in the Middle Atlantic Conference. On Wednesday afternoon the Ferrismen closed out their current homestand with a 2-0 loss to the Bullets of Gettysburg College. Although the Colonels had 18 shots at the Gettysburg net, they failed to score for the second straight game. JOBS! ••• C.AREERSI ••• What's the difference betwHn the two?

The campaign trail is a long rough ride and requires a tough skin and a stout heart. A political campaign with such high stakes requires an experienced orator like Cicero, with a brain like Einstein which is able to retain small insignificant facts - the physical health of a football player, and the hide of an alligator. Success in such an endeavor as politics can catapult a person to fame, prestige, and a good salary. But failure can result in heartbreak and disillusionment. Republican Scranton, an ex-beau of President Kennedy's sister Kathleen, is a quiet, composed, and intelligent millionaire. He seldom gets ruffled and is usually forced by the party bosses to lash back at his more caustic opponent. Recently though, since the big push is on, Scranton has become more inTective and is beginning to trade blow for blow with Dilworth. He says he is nobody's man. In this way he denies being owned by the big oil and coal lobbies. Claiming that he will bring new industry into Pennsylvania and reduce the numbers of . unemployed, Bill Scranton is beginning that final big push for his seat in Harrisburg. Dilworth is not sitting down while Scranton is stumping the Keystone State. Dilworth is Scranton's opposite in many ways. Hei s emotional, high strung, and as he himself admits, "I have a tendency to shoot for the jugular." Dilworth is an old campaigner and has left many a Republican opponent lying in the dust behind him on the campaign trail. Dilworth's record, slightly tarnished by the Philadelphia scandals, shows an intelligent, forward-looking poljtician. <>-- - - - -- -- - - - - - As mayor of Philadelphia, Dilworth .......................,• ..,• ..,.. .., .......... cleaned up the city physically and Headquarters for brought in millions of dollars in WILKES JACKETS industry.
