In These Grave Times I Stop That Noise Social Analysis, Russian, American Verse Added To New Book Shelf Just A Pint �Friday, October 26, 1962 WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON The POLITICAL SCENE by Jane Edwards Two living ex-governors of Pennsylvania are from this immediate region: Arthur H. James of Plymouth and John S. Fine of Nanticoke. The next governor will be from eastern Pennsylvania also, for either Republican William Scranton of Scranton or Democratic Richardson Dilworth of Philadelphia will win in November. Area residents benefit by this situation; they are probably better informed about campaign issues and the candidates than are most citizens living elsewhere in Pennsylvania. I say this because my family has received letters from Secretariat Member Defends UN in Assembly The existence of the United Nations is justified by the fact that it is the only way to prevent the destruction of the world. This thesis formed the basis of an address by Lt. Col. Victor De Guinzbourg during the United Nations assembly yesterday. Lt. Col. De Guinzbourg, a member of the Secretariat of the UN traced the history of settling internation disputes from the personal battles of knights of the Middle Ages to the 20th century forum the UN. He cited several examples of the success of the UN conference mac hi n e r y in reconciling modern nations. His appearance on campus, both at yesterday's assembly and Wednesday night's meeting of the local Association for the United Nations, was sponsored by the CCUN in conjunction with United Nations week. Col. Guinzbourg replaced Philip Deane, director of the United Nations Information Office, Washington, who was speaker for the UN Day observance. Mr. Deane was held in Washington because of the rapidly developing Cuban situation. living around Erie in western Pennsylvania asking us to send them information concerning the campaign. They have studied the nominees but say that they are more confused now than when they did not know anything about either of them. However, one conclusion they did come to was that Pennsylvania can never be rid of spoils system unless someone "new and untouched by machine politics" is elected. They still cannot decide whether Scranton or Dilworth is the man capable of being that kind of governor. We in Northeastern Pennsylvania are very close to the candidates' homes and are fortunate that here the campaign is more pubhere the campaign is more publicized than in almost anywhere else in this state. Thus we have an easier time in deciding how to vote; we can choose more intelligently.

The big rock 'n roll beat of the Kasuals will provide the rhythms for dancing. Donation for the dance, which will shake the rafters from 9 till 12, is 50 cents. For those who experience hunger pangs while dancing, refreshments will be served. Richard Hohn is general chairman for the dance. He is assisted by Bob Daniels, arrangements; Ted Thomas, refreshments; Joe DeMarco, tickes; and Jerry Williams, publicity. Salinger's first clause in The Catcher in the Rye, "if you really want to hear about it," is grammatically incorrect. One of the most refreshing additions to Wilkes' English department is Miss Charlotte Lord, a native of Kingston, Penna. Miss Lord received her bachelor's degree in English and the dramatic arts from New York University; her master's degree in English was obtained at Bucknell, while her master's in Italian was from Middlebury College. She spent a year at the University of Florence and the University of Sienna furthering her study of Italian language, literature, history and culture. She taught French and Italian in Berlitz, Paris. At the Abington Senior High School in Philadelphia, Miss Lord taught elective courses in drama and speech. She took a party of students from this area on a whirlwind tour of Europe for eight weeks. While teaching at Meyers High School, in this city, she was director of activities and dean. She directed an educatonal program on WBRE television. Professionals To Judge Art Work Submissions TRES CHIC by Maryann Wilson Mlle. Mag. College Board Member In addition to its annual college fiction contest, Mademoiselle Magazine sponsors an annual college art contest. The contest is designed to discover and encourage imaginative students of the fine arts. Mademoiselle points out that it is not looking for advertising layout artists or fashion illustrators. Entries must include five or more samples of work in any medium. Entries will be judged by professional artists and critics. Entry in the art contest could lead to national publication and to discovery by an art director or gallery owner. Two entrants will win first prizes of $500 each. Runners-up will receive honorable mentions and their work will be kept on file for possible commission by Mademoiselle. The work of winners, honorable mentions, and finalists will appear in a special showing for art directors, gallery owners and educators. The exhibit will be held in the spring of 1963. Winners and honorable mentions will be announced in the August 1963 issue of Mademoiselle. Any woman undergraduate wishing to enter the art contest can find entry blanks complete with the rules and regulations of the contest on the main bulletin baord by the cafeteria.

Asked why she joined, Miss Lord replied, "I felt I had to do something at this time; I had to be of service to my country. I found the experience gratifying." Having taught fourteen semesters of extension school at Wilkes, Miss Lord had this to say, concerning the college, "Wilkes is an ideal size for an undergraduate school; the faculty and students are able to establish a relationship which is valuable for both the student and the professor."

Are the first two years wasted if one has not decided his major field of interest? This problem was discussed at the University of Texas and it was concluded that students who don't know what they want to major in when they enter college should not worry or feel guilty about the indecision. Arthur M.

Wilson The girls' hockey team will meet Muhlenberg in a return match Thursday at the Wilkes College Athletic Field. The Mules shut out the Colonelettes, 4-0, in their initial encounter, the only loss suffered by the hockey team this season. Friday the hockey team will host Wyoming Seminary, one of the strongest hockey teams in this area. Tuesday the girls shut out Moravian, 1-0, at the Wilkes Athletic Field. Betty Jo Complou scored the only goal of the game mid-way through the first half. Goalie Carol Rhines registered the shutout, and Wilkes displayed good teamwork to bring their record to 4 wins and a loss. hy JIM JACKIEWICZ, SpoTts EditoT LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Sports Editor: At a recent assembly, the question was raised as to why Wilkes doesn't have a track team. It was said that the turnout for a track team was too small and sufficient enthusiasm was lacking. I am a transfer student and I would like to suggest an idea from the school which I attended last year which might appease those students (of which I am one) who are interested in track. The idea is one of an intramural track meet to be held in the spring of the year. The meet would be only a single afternoon's affair and would consist of a set of representative events. For example, from the dash events, the hundred yard dash would be run; from the distance and middle distance events, the half-mile could be run; the low hurdles could be nm and the inclusion of several field events such as the high jump, broad jump, and possibly the shot put and discus could round off the afternoon's schedule.

Colonels lo Open Season Dec. l; Grapplers Practice on Monday Both the wrestling and the basketball squads will begin workouts on Monday afternoon at 4 in the gym. Wrestling Coach John Reese and head basketball mentor Eddie Davis are hoping to post better records than they did last season. The basketball team, led by the high-scoring Harvey Rosen, will begin their season on December 1 in a home game with the Lions of Albright College. Coach Davis will be assisted this year by assistant coach Jim Ferris, who is currently head mentor of the soccer team. A lack of height hampered the basketball squad last season. This year the problem is expected to be remedied to some extent by the addition of 6'6" Lee Wasilewski and several other big men. Fully 1·ecovered from his knee injury is playmaker Dick Morgan. A sizable group of freshmen is expected to further bolster the team. Wrestling practice will commence at 4:30 Monday after equipment , is distributed. Coach Reese expects a winning season from the squad, barring injuries, of course. j On December 1, the grapplers will engage in an exhibition triangular meet with Stevens Trade School and Western Maryland College.

Game time is 2:00 p.m. Coach Ken Bunn Jr. expects his changes to put up a good fight against Wilkes using either quarterback Barry Morre or Ron Poruban as the key to a successful offensive battle. Although Juniata's line-up lacks the weight, the boys are fierce competitors and very polished players. End Garfield Royer, a 6-1, 185pound junior, is a "Speedy Gonzalez" and last year gained enough yardage from aerial receptions to g-ive the Indians a 3-4 record. Colonels Edged Even though Wilkes won the battle of statistics, Drexel Institute prevailed on th~ scoreboard as they rang up a thrilling 14-12 verdict in the contest last Saturday at Philadelphia. The Wilkes gridders, after receiving the kick, drove 69 yards for a score in nine plays. A 34yard pass play from Don Brominski to John Gardner capped the drive, but Chuck Adonizio's attempt for the extra point was blocked. Midway in the second period, Frank Crovetti of the Indians heaved a tremendous ·50-yard pass to halfback Joe Buffalo who travelled to the Wilkes 10 before being brought down. Two plays later, Crovetti barged in from the one, but Buffalo's PAT was blocked. Drexel tallied again early in the third quarter, climaxing a 61-yard advance with a 1-yard Crovetti to Gallo pass. The conversion pass from Don Harmatuck to Frank Gallo foi· the vital extra two points, proved to be the winning margin. Wilkes Rebounds Wilkes bounced back in the third on a Brominski to Grohowski pass. He grabbed the ball in the end zone despite a Drexel defender on each side. This score was set up by a pass interception by Bert Schiffer and an alert fumble recovery by Frank Wallace. The Colonels' pass attempt for the 2-point conversion was unsuccessful. Wilkes dominated the offense statistics, gammg 159 ground yards to 131 and 125 through the air to 88. The gridders also completed 7 of 14 aerials to 6 of 13, and led in first downs, 14-11.

Greene, Fashion Editor of PLAYBOY Magazine. Exact wardrobes will vary with individual taste, and with the requirements specified for each college area, but most men will find the following quantities and categories more than adequate for their campus clothing needs: four natural-shoulder, three-button vested suits; three conservatively patterned, classically cut sport jackets; six pair of coordinated dress and casual slacks; twelve dress shirts (with locally specified patterns and collar styles); six or eight pullover and buttonfront sport shirts in long-and short-sleeved models; three or four sweaters (cardigan, crew, V, and turtlenecks in various weights); on neutral-tone-fly-front raincoat of Dacron of poplin blend (with zip-in-lining for cooler climes); two casual outdoor campus coats (duffer, loden, stadium-type, or golf jacket in waist-and three-quarterlength), lined with alpaca or shearling for cooler weather wear; six pairs of shoes ( cordovans, loafers, tennis shoes, dress shoes, plus desert--style boots for cold climates or lightweight suedes for the casual West Coast scene); one set of classic black evening clothes (with white dinner jacket for warm-weather campuses); as few or as many neckties (rep stripes, madders, challis, foulards, solids, black knits) as desired; an adequate stock of handkerchiefs, underwear and socks; a hat or two-plus rain hat-for those who like them; plus a sufficient supply of such localized and specialized attire as swim suits, walk shorts, knee socks, tennis and golfing gear. Swimmers Meet Don Brominski The Wilkes swimming team will open its 1962-63 season as the guests of Drexel Tech on January 5. Craig Huddy, a senior letterman, announced that all men interested in trying out for the team will meet in the lobby of the Wilkes gym immediately following assembly on Thursday, November 1. Coach Ken Young is eagerly awaiting the season to open in order for his team to better last year's record of 3-3, and perhaps clinch some trophies in the MAC Tournament. Injuries subdued Wilkes last year as four valuable members were lost to the team for a number of meets. However, the splashers did not go completely unnoticed as they broke several school records. Against Drexel, Wilkes lowered the 400-yard relay time from 5:02.7 to 5:00. In the 50-yard freestyle against Harpur College, time was cut from 25.4 to 25.3. A 5-second cut, from 2:58.8 to 2:53.5, set a new record for the backstroke. Last year, the Blue and Gold aquamen lost a 48-46 decision to Drexel Tech due to the disqualification of a valuable participant. The men who qualify for the swimming team will have a tough schedule awaiting them. prowess from his uncle, Ed Brominski, a local high school coach who does wonders with schoolboy gridders.

This program has many advantages, including a provision in which trainees receive approximately $4,120 to defray tuition and living expenses during the year they attend graduate school. Candidates must hold a college degree, be accepted by an accredited library school, and meet requirements for employment set by the State Library to be eligible for selection. The library is now accepting applications for library trainees. A trainee must work for about two years in a Pennsylvania public ilbrary following graduation from library school. Starting salaries are now at $6, 500 average, and advancement is swift both because of rapid expansion of libraries and a shortage of qualified personnel. Job opportunities vary from administrative activity to specialized work in reference, children, and other fields. Additional information on the traineeship program is available from the Library Development Division, State Library, Box 1601, Harrisburg. Library career consultants also will visit colleges and universities during the year. - Public Relalions Assislanl Enjoys Feature Role in "The Music Man" by Maryann E.

The announcement was made this past week after a · meeting of the Administrative Council and the Amnicola staff. Various reasons, accumulating from previous years, brought ab~ut the change in the Amnicola policy, which was a free · yearbook for each student. The price of the Amnicola has been •included in the activities fee in the tuition. . During the past few years, the Amnicola has continually gone into debt, because of the rising cost of producing a yearbook. The amount requested by the Amnicola this year was greater than previous years, and Student Government was unable to grant them the full amount, since the activities fund is insufficient to cover the full amount without depriving other organizations of funds.

Post Office Displays Progress Pony Express lo Dols and Dashes hy Mary Alice Gabla In a few years, "Don't forget your dashes!" may conceivably replace the U. S. Post Office's annual appeal of "Mail early to insure delivery by Christmas." The recent announcement by the department that envelopes less than 3 inches in width (height) or 4½ inches in length are nonmailable is geared to the facilitation of mail-sorting and stamp-cancelling. Speculation in a quarter of the local post office marks this as the initial step in Postmaster Day's policy of automation. Guesses are that the department is slowly moving toward the day when a code devised to replace the hand-written address will point correspondence on its course. A sensitized machine would thus be able to pick up these markings for purposes of sorting the mail, as to state and city. The implications of this innovation would be vast, but upper-most on the list of assets would be the time factor. From sender, to conveyor, to receiver, valuable minutes would be saved. In other areas, however, the Post Catlin and Warner Halls Capture U.F. Trophies; Set Goal Falls Short Catlin Hall, girls' dormitory, copped honors in the campus United Fund campaign with a total donation of 151 % of their goal. Warner Hall, attaining 103 % of their goal, was the most successful of the boys dormitories. J erry Burk, president of IDC, presented trophies to the two winners as well as according honorable mention to Sturdevant Hall, with 128% , and Dennison Hall, with 100 % , at the Inter-Dormitory Council meeting last week. Jerry announced that dormitory donations this year totaled $295.43 or 89 % of their goal - an all time high. The campaign results in general were not as favorable as the dorm r esults since only 71 % of the $1200 campus goal, or $883.58 was collected. Laurels were also awarded to the sophomore class who, with a total of $136.20, were high for the day students division and to the Biology Club, with a total of $38.50, the highest amount donated by an organization. The other day student divisions trailed the sophomores with the freshmen collecting $89.75, the juniors $114.00 and the seniors $59. Campus organizations donated a total of $123.50.

A graduate of M o o s i c Hig~ School, Mr. Richards received his BF A degree at Syracuse University.

Before joining Wilkes faculty, he taught art at Dallas Junior High School and Everhart Museum. He is married to the former Hilda Harris, West Pittston. Mrs. Richards, known for her work in the Little Theatre and the Jewish Community Center, has appeared in summer stock companies. They are the parents of two children. There will be 72 works displayed at the Museum . . The 72 works selected by jurors from approximately 400 entries are widely varied in techniques and subjects. New Math Instructor Favors Music and Golf Mathematics and music might seem a strange combination of interests, but James De Cosmo finds them quite compatible. Mr. De Cosmo, assistant professor of mathematics, came to Wilkes this September from Long Island, where he held the chairmanship of th e mathematics department of Lindenhurst High School and taught evenings at Adlephi College. While earning his bachelor's degree from Westchester State College and his master's from Adelphi, he participated in the Men's Chorus and took private lessons in music. Music being his chief interest aside from mathematics, Mr. De Cosmo spends most of his leisure time listening to Italian and Fre-nch opera, "art" songs, and, especially, Scandinavian music. "The greatest vocalist in the past fifty years" and his favorite singer is the -late Jussi Bjoerling, a Swedish tenoi·. Mr. De Cosmo boasts of having taped the music of the last five -years of Bjoerling's career from-, private recordings belonging to. his .family and manager. "These recordings are rare," he states, "because a good deal of them are not available commercially." In this connection he extends an invitation to all students and all faculty members who are interested in good tenors "and, incidentally, who have a tape recorder" to share his enjoyment of Bjoerling. Besides· music Mr. De Cosmo en- The price for publishing the Am~cola is $7570, not including the mcome of $1000 in advertising. The amount granted to the Amnicola by Student Government will be app_roximately $5000. · Therefore, arrangements have been made for a range of prices to be charged for the yearbook. Seniors, who will have their pictures printed, will be charged two dollars. A fe e of $2.50 will be assessed for underclassmen who agree to have their pictures taken when the Amnicola photographer comes. The agreement will include the fee for the picture. If students make the agreement, and then do not fulfill their obligation they will be charged an additionai fifty cents. This amount of $3.00 will also be the f ee for those students desiring a yearbook, but who do not wish to have their picture taken. Anyone who is not a fulltime student will pay $6.00 for the A.mnicola. The subscription campaign will begin Monday, November 5 and will end Tuesday, November 20. There will be an Amnicola staff member collecting each day at noon in the cafeteria lounge. The full amount will be paid at the time of subscription since there will be no credit given and no deposit taken. Once the campaign is closed, no books will be sold. In addition to the change of this Amnicola policy, the editor reminds seniors that pictures must be taken by November 30. If the picture is taken at a photographer other than Ace Hoffman, the headsi,ze of the picture, measuring from the hairline to the chin, must be one and one half inches. Casi Saves 'Caf' During rehearsal for the "Music Man last Sunday evening at Gies Hall, a member of the cast shouted, "The Cafeteria is on fire." Realizing that this was not in the script, everyone rushed out the back door to the scene of the blaze. A possible serious fire was averted as Al Groh, director of dramatics, using a hand extinguisher which was carried to the scene by William H. Hutmaker, a member of the quartet in the show. Another member of the quartet, Lloyd Warneka, broke a cafeteria door window with his shoe, enabling Groh to enter the kitchen. They extinguished the blaze with the help of Joseph Muccino and David Fendrick. Other members of the c a s t phoned in an alarm to the WilkesBarre Fire Department. The blaze, caused by some aprons left on a lighted oven, was under control when the firemen arrived. Damage was limited to smoke and some water damage to the kitchen. joys golf but refuses to disclose hi s average, smiling that it is "classified information." In the future Mr. De Cosmo intends to pursue his doctorate either at Adelphi College or Lehigh University. He already has some credits towards his doctorate from Adelphi, but he would like to continue living in this area and Lehigh would, therefore, be more convenient. Mr. De Cosmo, his wife, the former Elizabeth Crum, and their daughter, Elizabeth, 3, presently live in Kingston. I �2 Friday, November 2, 1962 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON ++++++++++++++++++++++++ STUDENT SKETCH Letters to the Editor .·. ; Senior Music.Major Speculates; A PO·INT OF DISCUSSION -++++++++++++++++++++++++·· Room for Improvement Noted Editor's Note: This article was wr.itten over the weekend before the break in the Cuban crisis occurred. by HAROLD W. THATCHER, Chairman, History Dept. , , In opening the series of faculty editorials planned by the editors of I he B~acon, I have been asked to comment on the Cuban crisis. The followmg comments are i_ntended only to be thought-provoking; they do not presume to prescribe a method of resolving the crisis. Moreover, by the time they appear in print, they may have been rendered obsolete by the course of events. · With these caveats in mind, let me say first that I hope the "intelligence" on which the President is basing his present policy is cor1·ect. The CIA and its predecessor cloak-and-dagger agencies ·have been guilty of supplying faulty "intelligence" more than once in the past. In the ab~ence, of eviden~e to the contrary, however, one can only accept the President s evaluation of the evidence that has been presented, hoping that the President himself has not been misled by faulty "intelligence." .· . Ass1;1ming that tl)e .'e~idence is. correct, it is distressing to find that, m adopting our present · cou:rse . of action, we have ended up again, as in the U-2 affair, on the wrong side of the fence from the point of view of international law. International law does not recognize the type of blockade that we have instituted as valid in tinie of peace i.e. unaccompanied by a declaration of war. ·If, ·a·s · I firmly believe ·' the' Cold War is not intended by responsible leaders on· ~ither side to be merely a prelude to a hot war but is rather a struggle for · tbe minds of inen then it will be a long struggle, lasting probably for generations. I~ such a struggle world opinion and the "image" that the United States presents to the world become ver y important. They will, indeed probably be the determining factors in such a struggle. Under thes~ ci rcumstances we cannot afford to be caught too often flouting international law which, in a limited area, represents · considered world opinion. Moreover, it ill behooves us, who in the past have made so much of the sanctity of law and treaties, to become ourselves the violator of law. This is not the way to improve our image in the world. Another question that may be raised is whether we haven't chosen the greater, rather than the lesser, of two evils. There are risks in any course that might be taken. But tha.t Castro, even if he had the necessary .warheads, would discharge even one nuclear missile at the United States, seems a very remote possibility in view of the fact that we could literally sink the . whole islapd of Cuba in the ocean in a relatively few minutes. That Khrushchev would use the Cuban. sites for such a purpose seems even less likely since he is no more· interested in starting a teneral thermonuclear holocaust than we are, knowing, as well as we, that it would end in mutual extermination. But the course we have now chosen has forced both sides to lay their prestige on the line with little room for maneuvering without being accused by their respective allies of being "chicken." With national honor thus involved, the possibility of the dreaded holocaust and the resulting mutual extermination seems much less remote. Indeed, it approaches a certainty, and as the eminent British s:cientist, C. P. Snow, has said, "Between a risk and a certainty a sane man does not hesitate." Looking at the crisis from another point of view, can we be sure that we haven't allowed ourselves to be lured by the Russian bear irito a baited trap? When Khrushchev now turns on the heat in Berlin, a s he has promised to do before the end of the year, we shall doubtless again rush troop reinforcements and probably nuclear weapons to that hot spot. Khrushchev will denounce such action · as a threat to the security of the Soviet Union and demand that all missile sites within intermediate range be demolished . When we refuse, he may institute an illegal blockade of West Berlin. What objections ·c an we then raise? We shall be es topped by our own previous illegal blockade of Cuba from raising any legal objection that we might otherwise have raised. Have we not then literally invited Mr. Khrushchev to use illegal means to thwart our reinforcement of West Berlin? The next question is one I hesitate to ask. It is ·this: could our sudden reversal of policy and the assumption of a much tougher line toward Cuba and the Soviet Union have anything to do with domestic politics and the approaching election? This thought crossed my mind at the beginning of the recent crisis, but I immediately dismissed it as too monstrous and fantastic for consideration. Yet that ·very evening, on picking up The New York Times, I found this very charge being made by one of its most responsible and conservative columnists. Subsequently Drew Pearson made the same charge even more pointedly, claiming that this was indeed one of the important factors that tipped the scales in favor of the tougher policy. With millions of lives .and possibly even the continued existence of humanity itself at stake, further comment from me on this point would be superfluous. I shall only repeat the comment of one of my- fellow faculty members that,. if further evidence really supports such charges, he is going to r_e sign from the human race. One final comment. Listening to that weather-vane of public opinion, the "man in the street," one cannot but be amazed and appalled at the depth and virulence of his hatred of Russia and the Russians. · ( continued on pag.e 4) WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Editor-in-Chief -------------------------------------- Gloria M.

Because of · Mrs. Liva, Jean says, ."I knew when I was twelve that I wanted to go into music.". And music has played an important part· in Jean's life ever since. Entering Wilkes in the fall of 1959, Jean decided to specialize in piano. She chose Wilkes, she says, ·because of the individual attention students get in a smaller college. "Bec!]use there are between five and ten students in my music classes, each of us gets the individual attention so necessary in this field." In her freshman and sophomore years, J ean took time out from music to serve on her Class Executive Council and as a dormitory officer. Even now, with her heavy practice schedule, she finds time to represent Chapman Hall, her dormitory, in the Interdormitory Council, and also, since her first semester here, to be a perpetual Dean's List student. Besides practicing from two to three hours a day for her classes, Jean does accompanying for many of the senior recitals, which entails many more hours of practice with the performer, and she teaches Ipiano privately.

The Apathetic Onlooker by Jack Hardy Olsen Schroeder A humorous note was seen on campus recently when Throtley M?ng, resident of Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, wandered over by Chase Hall on River Street and began making unnecessarily boisterous comments about "the new faculty bomb shelter" being constructed adjacent to Stark Hall. A group of st u dents had gathered about the aged gentleman and were endeavoring to dissuade him from "so erroneous an assumption" when a popular fa.culty member happened by and was prevailed upon by the group to resolve their argument. The faculty member (whose name must be withheld) said nothing, but looked, first at Throtley and then at the assembled students with an u n e x p 1 a i n e d 1 y "smug" smile, then hurried on to a class at Parrish for which he already seemed late.

No particular trend was discernible from the election results scattered through the 50 states. There were both currents and cross currents, favoring both Democrats and Republicans, depending on the selectivity of the election results. Voters in midterm elections are many times moved by considerations not mentioned in the campaign oratory, boiling down to their own personal interests. Large blocks make up their minds even before the candidates are nominated, and seldom change unless agitated by a sharp emotional controversy. Therefore, many myths about midterm elections are contrary to fact and evidence. The biggest guessing game during the campaign was whether the President's belated "get tough" policy over Cuba profited Republicans or Democrats and whether the crisis and its aftermath served to send voters to the polls in larger or smaller numbers than might otherwise have been the case. It does not seem as though the Cuban crisis affected election results in any substantial degree. Neither Senator Capehart nor Congressman Van Zandt were able to capitalize on the "get tough" policy. That it was not a key to the midterm voting in 1962 only supports the generalization that midterm elections are won The Beacon NEXT ASSEMBLY: Dr. Rosenberg"Local Redevelopment" WILKES COLLEGE • Vol. XXVII, No. 8 or lost on the basis of state and local issues. Much mooted at present is a speculative effect upon the next presidential election of the outcome of contests for the election of state governors this year. Solemnly offered is the proposition that a state which now prefers a Republican for its governor will, in turn, prefer a Republican for President when 1964 arrives. The lesson of 1958, the last midterm election, is instructive in this respect and destructive to that theory. In 1958, Governor Rockefeller won New York by an immense majority; two years later New York turned enthusiastically to President Kennedy. Democrats in 1958 elected governors in Ohio and California, both of which landed in the Nixon column in 1960. It seems a little hazardous to predict that Vermont and New Hampshire will vote Democratic in the 1964 presidential election. The coat tail theory blew up with a deafening bang when in 1956 President Eisenhower was unable to carry a majority of either house of Congress while winning his second term. Even in state elections, the winning executive has not carried the legislative branch with him Oklahoma, Vermont, etc. This point can be carried a bit further in stating that the personal popularity of one candidate does not rub off (continued on page 4) STUDENT WEEKLY WILKES COLLEGE, WILKFS-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA SEMINARS BEGIN Solons Consider NSA Affilialion; Wallers To Allend Conference Ramo Panel Airs Sunday by Vicki Tatz The first of several student seminars will be held on Tuesday, November 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the Commons. Subjects for discussion will include student problems and topics of student interest. This was one of the many items discussed at the Student Government meeting of October 30. Possible affiliation with the National Student Association was considered. The National Student Association is a collective voice for student opinion and represents student governments throughout the country. Benefits to be derived from Following the format of past Focus programs, the Wilkes College student panel will broadcast Sunday at 1 :00 p.m. on radio station WNAK. Dean Ralston, moderator of the series, will announce the topic and make the opening statement concerning the general treatment of politics as opposed to statesmanship. The discussion will then be opened to the student panel for spontaneous comments. Although they have given the topic some thought beforehand and have decided from what angle they will approach their discussion, the panelists are unrehearsed. The participants reflecting the general views of Wilkes campus this week are Alan Krieger, William Carver, Joyce Cavalini, and Robert Sallavanti. Livingston Clewell, director of public relations, is the program's creator and producer. Dean Ralston said of Focus, "We do not yet have the degree of informality we want, but these students are sharp and are putting on informative programs."

For example, James Walters is planning to attend a conference sponsored by the Association on November 16-17 at Pennsylvania State University which has as its main topic the aims of education. This will include the purpose of student government, its role in relation to the students and to outside affairs, and how to arouse interest in student government. The Student Union constitution was accepted and the Student Government's representatives to the Board of Governors were elected. These are Judy Sisco and Joe Lipinski. The Court of Appeals has also been elected. It consists of Mr. Chwalek for the Administration, Mr. Elliot for the faculty, Jim Jones, Lorraine Dyers, and Alan Gubanich for the students. 'Open City' To Be Shown Political Campaign Stirs Students' Interest Highlighting the power and impact of the realistic film, Open City, being presented tonight by the Manuscript Literary Society, stands out among a host of outstanding foreign films. It catapulted director Roberto Russolini and actors Anna Magnani and Aldo Fabrizi to international fame, and attracted unanimous acclaim from the critics and unprecedented attention from the world. Among the many honors it captured were the Grand Prize at the Venice International Film Festival, the Grand Prix at the Cannes World Film Festival, and a Special A ward from the New York Film Critics. Shot under the most exacting conditions without the aid of normal location or studio production, it is a particularly fine example of Russolini's ability to capture settings, not as mere backgrounds, but as scenes with attitude and realism. A Student Government newsletter will be published later this month. Its purpose is to acquaint students with pertinent issues, to make them aware of Student Government's actions, and to arouse interest.

Kanner, Department of Psychology In a previous discussion Dr. Harold Thatcher raised some questions relevant to the Cuban situation and expressed amazement at the depth and virulence of American hatred of Russia and the Russians. He concluded with the observation that, "Hatred is a consuming passion; could it be that in the end, instead of expiring in a nuclear holocaust, we shall be consumed by our own hatred?" Since last week this has been reenforced by additional statements from many Americans; that we should have invaded Cuba - even at the risk of a nuclear war. The latter statement warrants serious examination. These are some instances of behavior which are especially striking examples of the strong tendency to distort or ignore fundamental aspects of events and their consequences associated with the context of thermonuclear war. On the face of it, the distortions and oversights are so gross that one can suspect that the individuals and institutions involved are not responding with sufficient attention to reality to be called sane by any standard. All over the world guilt and anxiety have been steadily mounting with each betrayal, each wilful blindness and each crime against humanity that implicates everyone. There has been the guilt about Munich, the guilt of Belsen and Dadhau, Buchenwald and Auschwitz, the gas chambers, the concentration camps and the mass graves; the lampshades made of human skin and the soap made of human fat; the guilt of the atom bomb, the guilt and terror aroused by the hydrogen bomb. We are living in an age of anxiety coupled with an age of terror. This leads me to share with you a depressing speculation, derived from Dr. Thatcher's quoted statement, which bothers me and bothers more people in more places than you might think. All of us carry a burden of free-floating guilt. In the United States at least, those who rise to responsible positions of power probably carry more of such a burden than those who do not, because attaining politically powerful positions frequently requires behavior contradictory to the Judeo-Christian tradition. This guilt is easier to live with in a world where one's goals seem to be attainable and where one's values seem viable. But there is a feeling abroad in this nation that somehow our response not only to the Russians but to the world has been inadequate, that our goals seem rootless, that we are a society in search of a faith. And there is a feeling of frustration, of a growing inability to make things go our way. This sense of inadequacy, combined with a sense of guilt, combined with great frustration, could produce an outburst of destructive fury, ostensibly toward an enemy. But in great part this destructive outburst could be motivated by an unconscious effort to annihilate from consciousness, even if it means destroying that consciousness forever, the sense of guilt, of frustration, of inadequacy, which today confronts so many people of this society. War could be a way to wipe the personal, national, and international slate clean. We know enough about people as individuals to know they act this way. We don't know enough about individuals acting in and as institutions to kRow how significant for behavior are threats to the self-image and traditional meanings. We must find out and apply what we find out soon - or there may be no society left, normal or pathological. Can we visualize a similar phenomena in the Soviet Union? There is no doubt that the United States believes that the future is with us. But the USSR also believes that the future is with her, and she can interpret much that happens in the world in support of this thesis. Under what circumstances, then, would she risk destroying that future if she had any alternative to initiating an attack to which we would retaliate? Our chief worry should not be that she would rationally calculate an attack, but rather that she would perceive some situation in which we might place her as allowing her no alternative but to attack. And we might as well place her in such a position if our leaders believe in the effectiveness of our strike force and if they are supported by a public bursting with belligerence and hatred. So cornered, the furious, frustrated, desperate leadership of the USSR would attack this nation, no longer knowing or caring whether they could do sufficient damage to our strike capability. In this state of mind they would have no choice, no wish, to do other than smash our cities, all of them, and with them the social system which had so harried and driven them. It seems to be perfectly clear that under these frantic circumstances their means for destroying their enemy once and for all would not be by fruitless attacks on a strike capacity, but by destroying the social fabric of the enemy by smashing his cities. After much serious consideration, and with the deepest sense of conviction, I believe that nations must reevaluate the ideals to which their national life has been dedicated in the past - the concepts of sovereign nations, national power and grandeur, national security and economic interest. They must dedicate themselves to the pursuit of the viability of mankind as a whole, to its survival and progress. Some Scattered Thoughts by Jane Woolbert Have you ever noticed the difference between a "Parrish Miler" and a "Stark Skipper"? Our "Miler" has that grim look of determination that comes from plowing up S. River St. in ten short minutes as many as two, three, or four times a day. The "Skipper," though, has that "sit-in the caf 'ti! 2 minutes of" look that produces green, malicious thoughts in enemy "Miler's" heart.. . . Need something to wake up your senses and make you feel alive early or late in the day? Try the dorm side of the caf at breakfast, the gym, right after afternoon wrestling and basketball practices, and the bio lab while the group is studying late for a "quiz." * * * The blank stares and creaking joints around campus belong to our wrestlers and basketball players. This is just a friendly hint to freshman girls so they will know where to look for winter athletes. The swimmers simply breathe extra hard. Wrestlers are extra easy to locate since they merely sit in the caf and glare at everybody who has nerve enough to eat in front of them. P.S.-The smart girl just sitil and looks sympathetic. TRES CHIC Shirtwaists Still Smart; Coats Add Fashion Note; Boots Come High, Low by Maryann Wilson Mlle. Mag. College Board Member The shirtwaist dress continues to take its popular place in the campus picture. A jewel neckline, roll sleeve, and flared skirt are its prevalent style notes. Shirtwaists in denim, corduroy, and Scotch plaids are most in demand. One of the latest pajama creations features smartly tailored slacks and a Sunday-best shirt with embroidered sleeves and jeweled buttons. Paisley prints so popular in blouses and blazers are now making their debut in dusters. A different look in bulky knit sweater styles is the U neckline. A V-necked cardigan sweater provides a pleasing fashion note. Additions to the winter coat story are the cossack coat a la Russe, the princess line coat with soft pleats starting at the hip line, the double breasted reefer in a laminated wool jersey all weather coat. A striped circlet of silk provides a dash of bright color to a simple wool jersey dress. The most current in footwear is a fabulous collection of boots. Choices range from ankle height in beige or black leather trimmed with fur to knee high boots in fire engine red patent leather. In high heels black is shown with brown, flats flatter the foot with a square toe, square cut front, and slightly stacked heel. Accessory-wise one wide gold band or several slimmer bands of gold make the most attractive bracelets. A Spanish inspired blouse is romantic and sweet. It boasts lace frosting and tiny ball fringe .. Blouses in pure silk crepe are deliciously soft and styled with a strictly feminine air. Friday, November 9, 1962 EDITORIALS- The Sweetness of Being Idle If it is in every man's power to do nothing, then we certainly have a most powerful campus. The sidewalk cynics and cafeteria critics who find time to criticize even the hallowed campus institutions - Student Government, for example never do anything. We all have an opportunity to hurl our calumnies boldly. But as vigorous students and as hearty proponents of freedom, we must attack those areas of campus life that need revamping - and revamp. This is an introduction to the age old question: what can we do about Student Government? An organization which serves as a link between the administration and the students should, of necessity, represent the views of both. Student Government is composed of a president and four representatives from each class. These class representatives attend bi-monthly meetings for a purpose. They present the attitudes and the desires of their respective classes. · To effect desired changes we must speak with our class representatives. We elected them and should, therefore, see that they fulfill their duties. Student Government meetings are open to those interested. We should, then, attend a few meetings. If we still feel that there is a void, we may offer suggestions for improvement. But let's not remain apathetic. Let Us Know Next week's Beacon will be the final issue before the Thanksgiving holiday. To assure all events adequate coverage we ask that any club or organization planning an activity during the next two weeks submit the information to the newspaper office by 5 p.m. Tuesday. Because of the two-week time span, and because of the many activities that demand coverage, all information must be in on time. We ask that anyone who has an event scheduled between the dates November 16 and November 29 make every effort to inform the Beacon. Information submitted late runs the risk of scanty publicity. Welcome Home The College extends a cordial "welcome home" to a gracious woman and an excellent professor, Mademoiselle Sylvia Dworski of the language department. Following a serious automobile accident in France during the summer, Mademoiselle Dworski was hospitalized for three weeks in the American Hospital in Paris. She recuperated at her home in New Haven, Connecticut. and has this week returned to the College to resume her professional duties. From the entire college, and especially from the Beacon staff - vin d'honneur, Mademoiselle! STUDENT SKETCH 'Big Cily' Coed Changes T.une Aboul 'Small Town' College Life by Joe Klaips Change of attitude is perhaps the best phrase to use in describing the effect of Wilkes College on this week's personality in the student sketch, Dolores Amir. A native of New York City, Dolores came to Wilkes four years ago with a rather haughty or prejudiced attitude against "small town" life. However as time passed, and her relations with the other girls in her dorm developed positively., her attitude made a decided change, which can best be expressed in her own words. "In New York, I graduated in your own effect on the activities a class which had more members in which you participate. In a than there are students here at Wilkes, and as a result of being a member of so large a class, I just couldn't see how I would ever be able to adjust to a small town college. I had lived in a large city, and I thought it was the greatest. It was not very long before I realized how wrong I really was. I found it easy to get along with people here and that many of my ties with my classmates became very close. This was never the case in New York. I wouldn't go so far as to say that the situation here is just a matter of being 'a big fish in a small pond,' but rather of just being able to see WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Editor-in-Chief -------------------------------- Gloria M.

Wilson Saturday the Wilkes soccermen wind up the season by hosting powerful Elizabethtown College with kickoff time set for 10 a.m. The Blue Jays posted an 8-1-1 record last year and ended up second in the Northern Division of the MAC. Four seniors will be making their final appearance for the Colonels, and these four have contributed largely to the Colonels' success. Captain Chuck Weiss, a business administration major, has been a standout at fullback for the team, and his personal showings have earned him the Beacon "Athlete of the Week." Erwin " Gator" Guetig will end his fine performances for the hooters, also against Elizabethtown. On numerous occasions, "Gator," a business administration major, has been named Beacon "Athlete of the Week." The loss of the Union, New Jersey star will be sorely felt and his performances during his stay at Wilkes will be hard to match. Another fine performer who will be lost through graduation is Tom Tomalis. The Wilkes-Barre native has been a standout halfback for the soccermen and has displayed outstanding ability. Goalie John Adams also will be lost by graduation, and his position will be hard to fill. Goalie Adams has not only been "Athlete of the Week" several times, but also received much recognition from the ECAC. These four seniors have shown outstanding ability and have been a fine credit to Wilkes College. On Wednesday the soccermen were blanked by East Stroudsburg State College at the winner's field. It was the fifth loss against four wins and a tie for the Ferrismen. The high-ranked Strouds are sporting a 10-1 record so far this season and are currently trying for a spot in the national small college playoffs. Are you gloomy at times because you feel you are unnecessary? ... Cheer up, you are! Time Out! by JIM JACKIEWICZ, Sports Editor LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Sports Editor, I've been reading your sports section with staunch devotion (my brother by a previous marriage). I've marvelled at your fascinating use of the English language, your exquisite prose commentaries, and your brilliant editorials. I hate you! Certainly you can think of something better than a 12 year old football player. Instead of biased criticism aimed at sensationalism and unneeded controversy, couldn't you confine yourself to sports elements which interest the reader, such as the hatchet murders in Mass. and the racial controversy in Mississippi, or, perhaps, some sketches of famous sports figures such as Elsa Maxwell or Mao Tse-Tung? I sincerely hope my suggestions will add to your sports coverage. In closing, may I merely relate this simple sports anecdote. On a beautiful summer day, Figley Buckley was training to defend his share of the world flyweight title (limited to Larksville and surrounding area). Being only 2 inches tall, Buckley had been known to climb into his opponents' ear and call him (or her) a dirty neo-Freudian. So infuriating was this that his foe would usually fly into a wild rage until overcome with exhaustion. To get back to our story, however, Figley, upon completing his training for the day, rushed home to tell his mother, as he usually did, that he loved her very much. His mother also rushing - to call her dear son for his afternoon dose of sundry hormones, unfortunately stepped on our little mite, crushing the world's smallest fighter. An unusual calamity? Sincerely mine, F. Barry Bryant Dear F. Barry, I appreciate your comments and c1·iticisms regarding this column. I had been aware that my column had caused some degrees of disquiet and indignance among various individuals (and groups) about our fair campus. However, I was becoming convinced that these individuals had lost the ability to practice the ancient and mysterious art of writing. Of course, I did hear half-heartedly subdued grumblings concerning the lynching of sports editors, the flotation of such persons down the beautiful Susquehanna, and other such assorted trivia, but I received nary a single letter expressing any such views. Your letter was heartening inasmuch as it proved to me that at least a few persons on this campus have retained the capacity to write. Thank you. P.S.-Your relation to the tale of Figley L. Buckley was indeed tragic. It should happen to Haverford, or the New York Giants. SO THEY DIDN'T PLAY! The members of the soccer team wish to express their gratitude to the four cheerleaders who made the trip to Rider College to support the Wilkes forces. These young ladies, indeed, expressed an indomitable spirit in making such an arduous journey in horrid weather. However, they had not been informed that the game had been cancelled and the team turned back at Wind Gap, Pa. The soccermen and the Beacon Sports Staff salute Jane Woolbert, Janet Ainsworth, Charlene Nausbach, and Rachael Phillips. 11 predicts . ram ... followed by college men in classic all-weather coats . . . and looking mighty sunny, sonny!

This issue Charles Weiss has been selected to "Athlete" honors. Chuck is a senior business administration major who makes his home in Dallas, Pennsylvania. At Girard High School in Philadelphia, Chuck was a member of the baseball and soccer teams, earning three varsity letters. In his three years at Wilkes, Chuck has continued his soccer activity, lettering each year. Chuck is one of the mainstays of the Colonel hooters, fighting every moment to attain and maintain a winning margin, and is especially adept at keeping Wilkes out of the danger zone. In each contest, Chuck has played his usual never-say-die soccer, turning in another fine year.

When questioned a b o u t the greatest change which has taken place during. her years at Wilkes, Dolores commented, "the greatest change has taken place in the theater itself. When I first came to Wilkes, the theater was small and limited primarily to actors; however as time passed, the theater expanded to include activities concerning costumes, makeup, scenery, lighting, etc." In the future, Dolores plans to take numerous publishing courses, eventually pursuing a career in journalism. right, bottom row: Lorraine Rome, Doris E vans, Sandy Potapczyk,· Margaret Davis, Molly Boyle, Helen Mack; top row: Richard Rolands, John Tredinnick, and John Butler.

Were Chaucer to be reincarn(Ited 600 years after his death, he might reapply this phrase to Miss Patricia Boyle. Miss Boyle is a freshman composition instructor who "just likes teaching very much." In that statement lies the key to her dedic.a tion. Each weekend she commutes to Philadelphia, where she is taking graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania. Miss Boyle hopes to earn her master's degree as soon as possible and continue teaching. Born and raised in Wilkes-Barre, Miss Boyle is a Wyoming Valley resident through and through. After attending Hanover Township High School, she graduated from Wilkes in '61. . Having started college as an art major, Miss Boyle was converted to English by World Literature. She still retains her love for art, although it is now her avocation rather than her vocation. Although she has favorite works in every school of artistic expression, Miss Boyle is especially attracted by the art from the impressionist period to the present. She numbers Cezanne, El Greco, and Utrillo among the painters whose work she admires most. Pastel and watercolor are the mediums in which she does the majority of her own art. "Of all the diversions of life, there are none so proper to fill up its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors." Taking Addison's advice, Miss Boyle, when she is not dabbling on canvas or dashing madly to Philadelphia, seeks pleasure in literature. The modern short story is her favorite prose form. She is an ardent admirer of the tales of Chekhov, Joyce, and Mansfield. Although she considers Keats the greatest romantic poet, her real favorites lie in the field of modern verse. She is particularly fond of the works of Stevens and Frost. So ends the story of a young and dedicated teacher. What more could one ask for than enjoyment of work and contentment with life?

(continued from page 1) on other candidates on the same ticket or even on the party - witness the substantial majority given to Scranton, but the closeness of the race with other candidates on the Republican ticket. At this writing, his substantial majority has been reflected in a single vote majority in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. There were many conflicting signs - Democratic losses in Congressional seats in Texas, North Carolina, Kentucky (Democratic South), and Republican losses in Senate seats in Indiana, Wisconsin, and South Dakota (Republican heartland). This may not necessarily mean that the South is developing a 2-party system, or that the Midwest is changing political coloration. The myth that the "in" party loses about 25 seats at midterm did not hold up either. How could it when the Democratic Party lost its marginal seats (mostly in the Midwest in the 1960 election?) There just were not too many more marginal seats to lose in midterm 1962. Political professionals argue that in most elections, the "voters vote mad." Perhaps the Nixon and Dilworth vote bear out this political axiom. On second thought, the voters must have manifested some displeasure with whatever party controlled the state capitols - Republican or Democrat. The two party control in many state capitols - one party controlling the executive branch and the other party controlling the legislative branch - may cause delay, deadlock, and indecision in dealing with acute problems. Solutions to many problems are watered down to the point of ineffectiveness. This myth of independence of the voter in splitting his ticket makes it quite difficult to assess party responsibility on pu-blic policy. It will be most interesting to observe how the Democratic · governors in Vermont and New Hampshire get along with their Republican legislatures. The same situation in reverse will exist in Oklahoma and Nebraska. Here are some questions which will make good discussion topics: 1. It can safely be stated that usually Democratic tickets are made up of minority groups. If that is so, then why was Peabody (Mass.), a blueblood, native stock American whose ancestors go back to early colonial days, on the Democratic ticket? Is it -b ecause they have become a minority, and .the minorities of three generations have become a majority? 2. In view of the fact that Rockefeller did not receive. a bigger majority than 1958, can he be considered· presidential timber for for 1964? 3. After this election, who are the New Frontiersmen from the South? 4. Since Nixon is the total political animal who cannot retire from the game of politics, will he run for office again? 5. What happened to the prediction that American political campaigns are getting "cleaner" and becoming high level affairs? 6. Is Republican New England changing complexion because of the Kennedys? Irresistible thought: no wonder medicare was an issue in this campaign - the 2 Senators from Vermont are Aiken and Payne. •••••••••••••••••• MINERS BANK BARBER SHOP Lettered COME TO US FOR Friday, November 9, 1962 + l + + ! + + : ? + :++++++++++++++++++++++: CAREER POSfflONS for training in Merchandising, Control, Perao11Del, Operations and Sales Promotion.

The efforts of over 200 people will be incorporated into the finished product to be presented on November 29, 30, and December l at the Irem Temple. With so many people involved and the "nature of human nature" there has naturally been some confusion, some humoresque incidents, some chagrin, and, many problems. These, of course, add spice to the sometimes dull routine. · I In a recent interview Al Groh, director, commented on a few · such "spices," revealing that he even became "fireman supreme" for a night. He merited this title by breaking open the door of the Commons one night during rehearsals to fight a fire that had broken out in the cafeteria. His heroic armor was dented a little shortly thereafter, since he got a bill from Mr. Denion, manager of the M. W. Wood Catering .Service, charging him $37.50 "for replacement of plate glass door in Commons."

"In a divided world, both camps armed with weapons capo• ble of total devastation, the theory of class struggle as well as the theory of capitalism, the welfare state, or the affluent society will prove too small, too slow, and too selfish to achieve anything except disaster. Many honest Communists know it. Too few in the non-Communist world will face it." Thus began a plea for Moral Re-Armament to every sincere Communist and Marxist in Russia, in China, and throughout the world. Frank Buchman, initiator of Moral Re-Armament, proposes that there can be no honest co-existence without a common commitment. Mankind's commitment, then, must become the rebuilding of the world. A world revolution which will transform society - an economic, social, and political change within and between na• tions - will be a revolution led by God. He quotes William Penn, "Men must choose to be govemed by God or they con• demn themselves to be ruled by tyrants." From the Mind of God, adequate, accurate, definite information can come to the mind of man. When the men of the Krem• lin listen to God, He will speak to them as clearly as He would to the leaders of the non-Communist world if they were humble enough to listen - and sane enough to obey. A forceful and sincere revolutionary, Lenin has altered the shape of our times. But he has also divided mankind and can destroy it unless we make a change. Lenin's atheism, which professed, "Our revolution will never succeed until the myth of God is removed from the mind of man," was caused, says Buch• man, by the actions and inactions of those who expressed their belief in God. The way some so-called God fearing nations live makes the Communist world cynical of God today. The world-wide advance of Moral Re-Armament has begun. The 22nd Congress of the Russian Communist Party called upon every party member to observe himself and to cultivate in others, "honesty, moral purity, unselfish labor for society, and love of his fellows." Moral Re-Armament begins with the strengthening of absolute moral standards - standards of absolute unselfishness in economic planning; absolute love in social attitudes and patterns; absolute honesty in industrial and political action; absolute purity in every home. Moral Re-Armament is seen by world leaders as the greatest revolutionary adventure of all time, whereby the root problem human nature - is dealt with thoroughly, drastically, and on a colossal scale. Nations are halted in their mad, historic march to violence and destruction. Too many Communists, as Mr. Khrushchev has pointed out, are too selfish to make their com• munism work in their homes, on the farm. in the factory, in the nation. or in the world revolution. Too many non-Communists are too selfish to live for anything except their own comfort, their own concerns.

Holder of this new honor, Ed. Major, however, classifies himself as "a rather slow reader," and upon furth er inquiry, we find that he has only read one of the library's books, Tolstoy's War and Peace. " Wearing out the card was easy," Ed. admits modestly, saying that he only read the book in "snatches" each evening for three months. "Because War and Peace is one of the many books on the "One-Night History Reading List," he says laughingly, "I had to check the book out every afternoon and return it in the mornings." · We feel that every student would profit by additional use of his library card; Ed. Major's sterling example should serve as an inspiration to us all. (continued on page 3) Friday, November 16, 1962 A POINT OF DISCUSSION by James L. Jackiewicz, Sports Editor, "The Beacon" It has become increasingly evident, over the past few years, that the liberties guaranteed by our Constitution are being outrageously abridged. One of our constitutional (and natural) rights after another is being swept aside and the cornerstones upon which we construct · our nation are being shaken and could conceivably crumble under t influence of our over-zealous "patriots". I am speaking of course the so-called "anti-sedition" laws that have crept into our for mal ho of Federal and state legislation. A brief history of such laws is need for a clear understanding of the problem. In the summer of 1798 a Federalist Congress passed an extensi program of legislation known collectively as the Alien and Sedith Acts. The purpose of the Acts was in part to guard against subversi in this country by the French, with whom we were having difficultit and in part to insure against a complete Republican victory at the po · in the upcoming Federal elections. One of these Acts, The Sediti Act, was drafted expressly to subdue any criticism of the administ1 tion. It is apparent that each of these laws, and the Sedition Act particular, were in direct opposition to our basic constitutional prin: pies and the theories of John Locke whose ideas the framers of o: constitution embraced with great zeal. These enactments were t beginning of a movement to deny the freedom of expression, which expounded by all of us as the liberty necessary to the existenn of a democratic form of government. In 1940 the Congress passed the Alien Registration Act, bett -known as the Smith Act, which provided that all aliens living in t United States file a detailed personal and occupational record and statement of their political beliefs. This act was upheld by the Suprer. Court in the case, Dennis v. U.S., in which eleven Communist leade were convicted of having "the intent to cause the overthrow of t Government of the United States by force and violence" through t organizing of the Communist Party and the teaching and advocating Communistic ideologies. In arriving at this decision the Court us the reasoning of a "clear and probable danger" in regard to the r< of these Communist lead·e rs. In a dissenting opinion Mr. Justice Black asserted that " ... pub. opinion being what it is (1951), few will protest the conviction of the Communist petitioners. There is hope, however, when present pres_sur1 passions, and fears subside, this or some later Court will resto1e t First Amendment liberties to the high preferred place where the:y t long on a free society." We are still waiting for such a restoration. This carries us down to the present day. The problem is still wi· · us and it has been reinforced by the Subversive Activities Control A of 1950, the infamous McCarran Act. Related Acts of Congress we passed in 1952 and 1954. The initial Act however, is the one which the most repugnant and incompatible with our constitutional principil In the summer of 1961 the Supreme Court upheld the registrati< provision of the Act by the narrow margin of 5 to 4. The Comrnuni Party, and Gus Hall and Benjamin J. Davis, foremost spokesmen, ha·. been indicted because they could not registe1· under the false, unprovr and self-incriminating allegations of the Act; two individuals have be sentenced for refusing to become informers; dozens of people have be, subjected to Grand Jury interrogations, and four organizations ha been served citations by the Subversive Activities Control Board whi " was created by the Act. All of these actions have occur red through 1 provisions of the McCarran Act, provisions which, indeed, are in d; agreement with the Constitution. To register under the McCarran Act means, in essence, to ad to the definitions built into the Act. Registration would mean cha1 terizing one's self as a "foreign agent", traitor", and "subversive" who engages in or conspires to engage in "sabotage", " espionage", and "violence". Anyone registering would be accepting these charges and would automatically become liable to criminal prosecution. This is a form of self-incrimination which violates the Fifth Amendment. The legality of the registration order with respect to the Fifth Amendment has yet to be dealt with by the Supreme Court. The Subversive Activities Control Board is an administrative agency appointed by the President - not a court of law. The SACB openly relies on testimony of paid informers. Since hearings before the Board are not trials in the legal sense, the admission of hearsay evidence is permitted. At such a proceeding, no opportunity is given to challenge the constitutionality of the Act, even though the hearings are the basis for the order to register as a "communist-action, front or infiltrated" group. Drastic punishments are specified for individuals and organizations. Among these are a ten thousand dollar fine and five years in prison for every day of failure to register, loss of travel rights (making it a crime to apply for a passport), barring from applying for jobs in defense 01· related industries, and, among others, the Presidential power, in the case of a declared national emergency to confine registrants to one of six concentration camps provided for in the Act. The McCarran Act restricts the expression of unpopular ideas. The labeling of those who advocate these ideas makes it next to impossible for these designated groups to continue to exist, thus violating the fundamental right of expression. It is quite conceivable that the Act actually endangers those individuals who openly express a staunch opposition to these unpopular views, for it is possible under the law for groups to be ordered to register if they agree with the Communists on only one issue. This -in itself is a sad commentary on the prevailing radicalism in our country today. (continued on page 6) What - Where ~ When Psych-Soc Club, "Beatnik Bop" -Gym, Tonight, 9-12.

No two groups are adopting identical school systerns yet they are each striving to provide the "best" for the child.

A few groups also list comfort as being necessary to a worthwhile educational system. They've provided upholstered seats, enclosed playgrounds, elevators, and cushioned floors for their students.

Mr. Martin Friedmann, an instructor in the Wilkes College Music Department, and Dr. Robert Provell, a practicing chiropractor, will play violins; Mr. Eugene Brandstadter, a local businessman, will perform on the viola; and Mr. Enzo Liva, a music instructor in the Wilkes-Barre Public Schools, will play the cello. Speaking for the g roup, Mr. Friedmann stated: "This type of chamber music has become a joyous part of our week's activities, and the enthusiastic response of our audiences proves that chamber music still is one of the most satisfying forms of music." MUSIC MAN (continued from page 1) Answering the call for a choreographer, Mrs. Barbara Weisberger, director of the Wilkes-Barre Ballet Guild, and her assistant Jozia Mieszkowski, former Wilkes student, volunteered their services. According to Mr. Groh they have efficiently transformed a bevy of experienced, semi-experienced, and inexperienced dancers into an effecti ve corps. Musical Element The entire music faculty is involved in the production with Mr. Chapline directing the chorus, Mr. Lovett directing the orchestra, and Mr. Marcase, Gasbarro, and Friedmann playing in the full orchestra - rarely employed in college rn u:,icals. To round out the musical complement the Potentates Men, a local barber shop quartet, volunteered their services and have faithfully attended all rehearsals. This quartet is an integral part of the cast since they not only "warble" but have lines in the show. The chorus itself is an interesting potpourri being composed of students, three administration secretaries, the wife of an accounting instructor, Mrs. Libbey Capin, and Sandra Zawadski, daughter of the Registrar. A n o t h e r r epresentative from "Chase", Barbara Fritz, PRO a ssistant, has fun with the role of Ethel Toffelmier. Exeter High School students have also gotten into the "musical act" with their roles as the River City Boys' Band while the grade school set carry a vital part of the action of the plot -Jane Gilmartin, 10 year-old from Trucksville as Amaryllis; Thomas Harding, 9 year-old Plymouth lad as Winthrop Paroo; and Sherry Mitchell, 10 year-old from Kingston as Gracie Shinn. With their preview performance on Wednesday night for a gr oup of high school students, this varied cast will culminate many months of work and planning which began for some last April with the choosing of this show. cided to ... then we decided Certainly, using class periods to plan a school has several advantages but the virtue hailed by one of these ·prospective teachers e_x cels all others - "You can't help but learn." Being faced with a hypothetical problem that must be solved (or you flunk the course) is the surest way to test a student's ability to apply th e principles gleaned from his text. Besid~s, it leads him into new areas of mformation. Perhaps, by the end of this semester someone will have come up with a new design for Wilkes! with Hal Kistler When a musician decides he wants to play jazz or wants to improve the jazz he is presently playing, he is faced with a major problem. How is he going to learn and improve ? (I am speaking now of the semi-professional commercial musician). The basic problem seems to be a lack of background in music theory and a lack of exposure to jazz when he is learning to play his instrument. A good teacher will help the serious student overcome the technical problems of his chosen instrument, but often little else is accomplished. The lack of ear training, of the teaching of elementary theory, and of the opportunity for creative playing presents a serious problem to the potential jazz musician. There are some teachers who will help the student along these lines, but there are many more who can't or won't. A musician thus turns to other resources. Th e "j a m session" which has trained many fine jazz musicians is becoming a thing of the past. Listening to recordings is still a big help, but the increasing complexity of man y of the forms of jazz has presented problems in this area. The musician may be able to receive help from other musicians, but this is often disorganized help and although better than nothing, it is not what is really needed. A few of these musicians may develop into fin e jazz men as a result of finding a good jazz teacher, or of getting a job with a good jazz group. If he is fortunate enough to have a chance to study music at the college level, even if it isn't a jazz school, the ear training and music theory that he will be exposed to will solve many of his problems . Unfortunately most of the musicians do not get their chance to develop, and r emain mediocre in the fi eld of jazz. The answer seems to lie with the instrumental teachers. If a student shows an interest in jazz, the teacher should encour age him and help him as much as he can-or send him to another t eacher who will. The importance of good technique cannot be over emphasized, for without it a musician cannot be proficient in any area, however, a great deal more technique is required to make a good jazz musician. YE APATHETIC (continued from page 2) We see that it's Thanksgiving again and from college students to Soviet missiles, all anticipate a trip home. Many students, we obser ve, however, a re not leaving the campus for the holidays but choose to remain. These are the members of The Society for the Preparation for Final Examinations, a new ascetic group on campus. While students at home are enjoying old friendships and turkey, Society members are going , into training fo r the ordeal to come. This dedicated group assembles each day and a ssumes complex yoga positions on hardwood floo11s for hours at a time. Other variations in the program include "stayawake mar athons" last ing days at a stretch and juggling routines with masonite boards, pencils, and bluebooks all performed on roller skates in sawdust. As you enjoy your holiday, we ask that you consider fondly the dedication of this forward-looking organization, and, perhaps, you will decide to join. TICKETS FOR THE MUSIC MAN The Circle K Club and the Kiwanis are handling all ticket sales for "The Music Man." There will be, however, one free ticket for each Wilkes student available at the Bookstore upon presentation of his Student Activities card. Additional tickets may be purchased from Kiwanis in the cafeteria. �4 Friday, November 16, 1962 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Intramural Football Nears End of Season; Races Tightening Time iOut! by JIM JACKIEWICZ, Sports Editor -THE LAST (HOME) HURRAH Last Saturday's gridiron clash, played in the college's Artille1·y Park quagmire, was one which may be looked upon with pride by the members of Coach Schmidt's football team. During the second half of that contest the gridders pulled all stops and played a daring, riproaring brand of football. On kickoff and punt returns the Wilkesmen were superb, placing the ball in scoring range on numerous occasions. The Colonel g1·ound game was again potent as John Gardner, Ted Travis-Bey, and the other Wilkes backs ripped through the Haverford line almost at will. Quarterback Don Brominski rolled up some key first downs rushing and fired three touchdown passes to take over the MAC lead in that department. In general the footballers played a brilliant game and came off with a resounding victory under the most trying of field conditions. We on the Beacon Sports Staff are proud of their outstanding efforts. SO WHAT? The soccer team ended their season on somewhat of a sour note by succumbing to Elizabethtown, 6-0. This defeat, however, was one in which they had to battle a field which was covered by ankle-deep water in several areas and was unbelievably muddy on the remaining portion. The Ferrismen also had to contend with, perhaps, the finest soccer team in the nation. The E-towners won the MAC championship by virtue of Lehigh's losing last Friday. Also, they are expected to cop the NAIA Tournament and perhaps the NCAA championship. The Wilkesmen produced a notable effort in stemming the Blue Jay tide as well as they did. LITTLE KNOWN FACTS STRIKE AGAIN Four members of the Colonel grid team are among the top ten in MAC rushing averages. These four hardy chargers are halfbacks Ted Travis-Bey, John Gardner, quarterback Don Brominski, and fullback Ed Comstock. And there isn't a senior in the group. The last remnants of our Homecoming pageantry may still be seen adorning the second floor of Barre Hall facing s ·o uth River Street. It appears that the men of Barre are a sentimental lot as they have staunchly refused to remove their "Beat the Bears" banner. All of the offensive fireworks in Saturday's football game were not provided by the Colonels. The Mainliners had a meager share in the scoring parade in the person of left halfback John Aird. The senior Mill Valley, California native scored all fourteen Haverford points with a pair of touchdowns and a two-point conversion. His second TD came on a dazzling 85-yard return of a Wilkes kickoff. He also intercepted a Colonel aerial to complete an outstanding afternoon's work. The intramural football leagues comprised of dorm and independent teams are nearing the end of their 1962 season. The top team in the Independent League is the Heads with a record of 4-1. Second place is held by the Runners and Them with marks of 3-1. Ashley and Butler Halls occupy first position, thus far, in the Dorm League with a total of 4 wins and 0 losses. Ashley Hall, at press time, has accumulated 16 straight wins. INDEPENDENT LEAGUE Heads 27, Them 0 Jokers won on forfeit (Invaders dropped out of league) Road Runners 25, Tartars 0 Jokers 21, Heads 4 Them 33, Tartars 13 Runners won on forfeit Heads won on forfeit Runners 45, Jokers 6 Them won on forfeit Heads 13, Runners 6 Tartars won on forfeit Them won on forfeit November 26 and 27 are the final games in the Independent and Dorm Leagues, respectively. Upon completion of these League contests, the first place teams from each League will clash for the Intramural Football Title. Tom Pugh, ex-Colonel cage star, has been named assistant basketball coach at Wyoming Seminary. Pugh, a native of Plymouth, is now teaching at Forty Fort High School and will be assistant to another Plymouth native, Dave Phillips. Pugh was a defensive whiz for the Colonels and co-captain of the Colonels in his senior year. The St. Louis Hawks of the NBA scouted Pugh and placed him on their option list.

The Beacon returns to the football team this issue for its selection of the "Athlete of the Week." In this issue, the Beacon honors Ted Travis-Bey, a gritty little halfback who, it may have seemed, has gone unnoticed in this grid campaign. Not so. In each contest, Ted has forced the rooters to notice him. Ted played football for Phoenixville High School and was a member of the baseball team. In coming to Wilkes, he earned a letter in football his first year as the Colonel quarterback. This season he was switched to halfback, adding speed and maneuverability to that position.

Each of these young warriors has had a fine season of play and will be sorely missed next year.

His son Devadas Gandhi said, "If Moral Re-Armament fails, the world fails." His grandson Rajmohan Ghandi is one of those leading an assembly at the newly-established Asian training center for Moral Re-Armament at Odawara, Japan. Pressed by leaders of India to take a prominent position in his country, Rajmohan replied, "Where would India be today if my grandfather had accepted the advice to return to his law practice instead of fighting for his country? Today, not just one country is in jeopardy, but the whole world." The paradox of history may be that this century which discovered the power of the divided atom, will learn the secret of uniting man. The Communists, governed by God, could be pacemakers for the world in the greatest revolution of all time, where all men are needed, no man is exploited, and where leaders and led pay the price of a new society by paying the price of change in their own lives.

After his "friendly and informal" interview with Robert Morris and his introduction to some of the student leaders, Ted soon made up his mind to enter Wilkes. , iJ.@h_~{: •tti Ted Begun POINT OF DISCUSSION <continued from paee 2 > In summary the McCarran Act and its implications place grave restrictions on the freedom of speech and the freedom of association, and denies the basic tenet that the American people are free to choose between conflicting views, and that they must be trusted in their choice. If the majority of the American people choose to live under a communistic system they have the God-ordained right to do so. All torrents of McCarthyism and McCarranism cannot deny this. Recently President Hayward of the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science cancelled a program which was to have featured Norman Thomas, former .Socialist candidate for the U.S. Presidency, Mr. Hayward stated that he cancelled the program because it "would be too costly to sponsor him (Thomas). We are a developing college and we cannot afford to be a center of controversy." The foolishness of this statement is apparent. The "costs" of denial of speech are far greater and more demanding than any college's remaining free from "controversy." This is but one example of the wide-spread denials of free speech on the part of various colleges and universities throughout the country. I hesitate to ask whether or not such a denial might occur here in the event of a "controversial" speaker requesting an audience with the students of Wilkes. We may only speculate on this. The natural rights of all men are being abridged at the present time. We, as students, must openly express opposition to the libertyconsuming McCarranism that has crept into our society. The Congress must be made aware of its serious implications and must repeal this entire package of oppressive legislation. There are grounds for a very genuine fear of this cancerous growth. Democracy cannot be restored in the United States until full civil liberties are established for all, communist and democrat alike. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ....., • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • + + + + 1 JORDAN'S +t + + + : MEN'S FURNISHINGS : + + and HA TS of QUALITY + + l + Est. 1871 : : ; The Narrows Shopping ·Center l l : l + Book & Card Marl· 10 S.

In that year he also began his fouryear membership on his Class Executive Council. From his experience Ted advises freshmen to concentrate on their marks in their first semester and have only one or two extra-curricular activities. "Once you know you1· way around and you know what is expected of you, you can budget your time to include more outside activities." Therefore, in his sophomore year Ted concluded that he could expand his activities. He joined the InterCollegiate Council on Government, and he was elected to Student Government. In addition, he served his class as chairman of the Constitution Committee and as CoChairman of the Dave Brubeck concert. Of the concert, Ted says, "We made money on that one." In their junior year Ted's class returned him to Student Government where he was elected Secretary and where he served on various committees. Ted also served as program chairman for I.C.G. last year. Today as a member of the senior class, Ted is Student Government Parliamentarian and an active committee chairman. He is still in I.C.G. and is still improving the finances of his "second home" Butler Hall. With Ted's busy schedule it would seem that leisure time for him would be a rare commodity. But Ted finds it somewhere and fills it these days as "an avid watcher of football games and a disheartened loser." In his spare time · he also enjoys listening to music from · Beethoven to Belafonte, the taste for which he acquired during his six years of piano lessons. In the summer, besides swimming, bicycling, and sailing on Jamaica Bay and Long Island Sound, Ted has worked in the office of an interior decorating firm, Bernard W. Borris of New York City, where he says, "A few of my ideas were even used." Kept busily hopping, Ted has found little time to put much serious thought to his future plans, but he expressed a hope to enter ·a field of production where he could develop new production techniques. "Later I will possibly go into personnel work, and maybe after a while I will enter politics." AMNICOLA NOTICE Senior pictures should be taken by November 30 for the yearbook.

Curtain time is 8 o'clock. Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Club is sponsoring the production for the benefit of its Wheelchair Fund. Professor Harold Hill, the Music Man, is a glib salesman who charms his way into people's hearts while depleting their pocketbooks. After fast-talking small-town Midwesterners into buying musical instruments and band uniforms, he skips town, without fulfilling his promise to teach the newly-formed band how to play. However the swindle of River City, Iowa, proves to be the undoing of this amiable rascal. Here the Professor falls in love with the skeptical librarian, is exposed, then forgiven by both the librarian and the happy, but poorer, townspeople, and all live happily ever after. - -<'> Co-operating in the production of this extravaganza are the Cue and Curtain, directed by Alfred Groh, and the Music Department, headed by Robert Lovett.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1962 Students Vote for Honor Code Presented at Student Seminar by Vicki Tatz Ask yourself the question, "If an instructor were to leave his class during a test. would students take advantage of this situation to cheat?" Ideally the answer is no. Recognizing that students can assume individual responsibility for personal honor, the establishment of an Honor Code at Wilkes College is now being planned. Its stated purpose is to stimulate student maturity and dignity through greater individual responsibility. An Honor Code relies upon the principle that students are familiar with precepts of honorable conduct and are concerned with their observance. The tentative Code, as presented at the Student Seminar last Tuesu, day night, involves no giving or receiving of information in tests or quizzes. Test conditions would r emain subject to the individual instructor's discretion.

The Jaycees feel, in this drive, that the under-priviledge children will benefit from the action by the student body. The toys are not necessarily new ones. In fact, the Reserve Center has asked for used or broken toys. They will be repaired at the Reserve Center and then passed out in time for the children at Christmas time. The Jaycees are asking for the help of the student body to make this program go over in a big way. A container will be found in the entrance to the Commons. The final date to place any toys there is Friday, December 14th. Aide Speaks at Dinner The executive director of the College's Community Research Center addressed the Wilkes-Barre Lions Club dinner last night. In his speech, Herman L. Otto discussed the economic conditions of Luzerne County. Michael Repa presided at the meeting which followed a dinner at the Twin Grill. In addition to the economy discussion, the Lions Club members heard reports on the annual fund raising drive and on the arrangements for the organization's Christmas party. �Friday, November 30, 1962 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS- Be a Little Classy - Go Formal The Joe Colleges on campus are always complaining that "there's never really anything to do around here." The Lettermen challenge this complaint by sponsoring a Christmas formal next week. Perhaps the price is a trifle high; but we should realize that the Lettermen are sponsoring it - not for profit - but simply for the satisfaction of students who plead for a formal. Because it is the only true college formal affair - Student Government having made the Cinderella Ball a semi-formal one, according to last year's ruling - and because the Lettermen do a beautiful job on decorations and on gala atmosphere, we should support them in their endeavor. Let's keep a little class on campus! Must the Mail Get Through? ON THE BANDSTAND with Hal Kistler The latest thing to hit the jazz scene is a new form of music called the "bossa nova". According to various experts, the Portuguese slang expression, "bossa nova", means "the new beat" or "the new wrinkle". Oversimplifying it quite a bit, we can say that bossa nova is a combination of a samba rhythm and jazz played with a free, light approach. Although bossa nova has hit the headlines only recently, it appears to date back to 1953 when Brazilian guitarist Laurindo Almenido and American bassist Harry Babasin began to kick around a few ideas. With Bud Shank (saxophone) and Ray Harte (drums), they cut an album of bossa nova; the album never sold and soon the group broke up. However, experiments were to be continued in Brazil. Many Brazilian musicians have followed jazz closely through the years and by listening to American jazz albums have become well acquainted with jazz. More recently, trips by U.S. jazzmen such as Herbie Mann and Charlie Byrd to South America have given the Brazilians a closer look at jazz and in turn have given the U.S. jazzmen an opportunity to observe the Brazilian experiments with it. It is still too early to tell just what the future holds for bossa nova. Currently the record industry is flooding the market with bossa nova albums; some of them are pretty good - some of the albums not so good. It may remain a part of the field of jaz-z or possibly it may develop into a field of its own. Whatever the course may be, if it survives the current surge of commercialism, we should be in for some very pleasant listening·. An editor of a college newspaper can become extremely aware of the world situation simply by reading his daily mail. Here are a few gems which would have escaped Beacon readers had I not scoured this week's mail. Since these items deserve little editorial comment, I shall simply relate, not interpret, them. In an advertisement, an area newspaper announced that rings, worth $1.95, would be sold at the sale-of-all-sales-to-endall-going-out-of-business-and-any-other "heartbreaking" t y p e sales, for $6.88. Now is that a bargain, gentlemen? Besides newspaper men, photographers, too, have their problems. The Beacon office received a picture of a graduating class seated on stage. Beneath the picture was a story which gave the class motto as "Forward Ever, Backward Never." Apparently the photographer took the photo from a disadvantage point, since the half-exposed motto in the picture compelled, "Ever, Backward." A red-faced English department at Colorado State University explains its vegetable raid which resulted in destruction of experimental projects and master's degree experiments in botany: "The whole thing was a misunderstanding. Some of us heard a rumor that the vegetables at a farm were to be plowed under. Now I ask you, what would you have done? We went over there and got some fresh vegetables." A former Fort Benning mail clerk wrote of a most interesting envelope to Pvt. Robert Travers U.S. 1740448 - from Mrs. Robert Travers 36-24-36. Honestly, the Marine officer who received top-secret security clearance only meant to answer the questions sincerely. When asked, "Have any of your relatives ever advocated the violent overthrow of the government of the United States?" he replied, "Yes." Lengthy investigation found that he was the greatgrandson of Chief Sitting Bull. Life is just one long process of getting tired. In the past seven years, Americans have eaten enough TRES CHIC hamburgers at one restaurant chain alone - 700 million of them -to reach almost twice around the world, if laid end to end. If shot into orbit, the 47,122 miles of hamburger would encircle the globe l ½ times. It would take one person 7,000 years to eat 700 million burgers - eating one every five minutes, and one hundred years for him to count them, counting at the rate of one per second. by Maryann Wilson The weeks ahead are often weeks ahead.

This season mink is receiving much competition from furs of otter, beaver, nutria, and Persian lamb. There is also a resurgence of interest in the spotted cat furs of the 1920's and the fox of the 1930's. The fact that both Jacqueline Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor are wearing leopard has created a renewed interest in it. Sable is now being shown in high fashion designs. Even brightly colored rabbit is beginning to appear. Ocelot, civet, jaguar and other spotted cats have also come upon the scene. HIPBONE JEWELRY Hipbone jewelry is one approach to dressing up the little black basic. One giant splashy rhinestone is pinned at this spot on an otherwise unadorned sheath. Lingerie trends feature feminine finery for the holiday season. The newly classic shift is widely shown as well as a smock look that might have been borrowed from a French baker. A flattering robe in shimmery cotton would be a very welcome present to find under the tree. A creamy smock gown with gathered yoke and tiny collar is embroidered with holiday sparkle. NEW LIPSTICK SHAPE The newest shape in lipstick is the triangle. This shape simplifies lipstick application since it outlines like a pencil and applies like a brush. Sneak preview of summer fashions - bamboo-ribbed sunglasses, and red patent leather swimsuits. Swim sweaters, tunics, short shifts, and pleated skirts are shown in such improbably seaworthy fabrics as gold and platinum lastex, rhinestone-studded lace, stretch denim, 1 chiffon, and suede. Taming The Wild West by barbara lore One evening last week as I blissfully curled up in a chair and lost myself in the strains of "Swan Lake," I was rudely jolted out of my reverie by the unlyrical snort of a six-shooter. Fearing invasion, I hastened downstairs to find my fears realized. A mean looking bunch of masked riders being pursued by an equally fearsome "possee" had invaded our living room. Much disturbed I retreated to my room and tried to ignore the din pervading the house. But to no avail. Even the "1812 Overture" was interspersed with the pounding of hoofs - TV variety. Conceding defeat, I wearily trudged downstairs and surrendered to the spell of the "Old West" - but not gracefully. Resentfully I mused on the same, old, dull plot, the stereotyped hero and heroine - "Cheyenee is just Bronco Lane in different chaps." I wondered just what was the secret of this cowboy - this so frequent visitor to our homes via television, movies, records, and literature. It's certainly not his realism! He would have been ill at ease on the early American frontier, but yet he has certainly captured the hearts and imagination of the American public. This romantic creature who lives on horseback as the Bedouins do, fights on horseback as did the knight of chivalry, armed with his trusty six-shooter which he uses ambidextrously and precisely, swears like a trooper, drinks like a fish, wears clothes like an actor, fights like a devil, defends virtuous women, and is generous to friend s and brutal to enemies, has become the American hero. But where did he come from? As might be expected, this composite of all Anglo-American virtues and vices is the product of historians, fiction writers, ballad composers, folk singers, and artists in search of an American folk hero. Capitalizing on the fact that the cattle frontier was not only one of the most exciting and uniquely American periods of our history but also conveniently distant from civilization so that few people ever viewed the real cowboy, these legend-builders spun fantastic tales of daring and skill of the "booted cavalier" of the plains which few have bothered to refute and many have imitated. Here was a writer's dream - a setting of the Great American Desert held in awe by Americans for so many years and a hero, who as both pathfinder and empire builder conquered it. - Could they be blamed for using it? The overworked Western themes which present the cowboy busily engaged in defending either women or towns in distress forget that the real cowboy was, first of all, a worker with cows, either a trail driver or range rider. After performing his unglamorous chores, and with little to entertain him, is it so surprising that he occasionally blew the lid off a frontier town? But this was seldom indeed. Usually he amused himself by rather mundane pastimes such as playing cards or riding the open trail with no particular destination in mind. His colorful garb, with which wardrobe directors have a field day, was not chosen for effect but rather practically-the wide-brimmed sombrero to protect him from the sun, the high heeled boots to keep his feet secure in the stirrups, his chaps to protect his legs from the adverse effects of constant rubbing, and his Colt revolver to furnish him the protection he needed in his usually solitary life. Then there's the myth surrounding the Colt. The heroic gun battle, ever present in Western dramas, which places the protagonists at opposite ends of a long street, is the product of a writer's imagination, since the six-gun is not accurate at a distance of more than twenty-five to thirty yards. Not 1·eally very heroic, the cowboy employed his gun to settle his disputes in a highly practical manner, usually surprising his foes and often shooting them in the back. But even so the six-gun was used sparingly. Recent discoveries suggest that Billy the Kid, supposedly the most feared gunman of them all, shot only about 5 men. If the cowboy did rely on his gun more than his fists it was only because he viewed fighting on foot as demeaning and not for white men - a fact ignored by western authors. The tales of his rescuing maidens in distress is also highly unrealistic since there were few women on the frontier and these few were usually those who were too rough for the civilized eastern section and needed no protection. Now that I had completely devastated the myth of the cowboy to my own satisfaction I felt revenged. But then an annoying thought why doesn't someone expose him for the fake he is and purge television-land of this "waste material." SO THERE ... The answer must be that Americans WON'T expose their hero that the average American, caught up in the pressures of conformity and group effort enjoys the fantasy of a super-human hero who rides with the gods and like a devil, carries his own rules loaded in his holster and enforces them according to his own interpretation. Perhaps he's not so bad after all .... Spanish Sludenl Kalhie Marks Spends Summer Touring Spain by Alis Pucilowski Sophomore Spanish major Kathie Marks, who attended Pine Manor Junior College in Wellesley, Mass., spent last summer touring Spain in affiliation with The Experiment in International Living, whose headquarters are in Putney, Vermont, where training has also been held for the Peace Corps. · The non-denominational organization's object is to spread American ways and ideas abroad, at the same time permitting Americans to study the people of a particular country. One doesn't go as a tourist; one lives as the people do. Kathie said that she traveled in a group of ten. Each member of the group lived with a family for three to four weeks. That person then invited a member of the family to travel with him for two weeks, after which time, the family members goes home and the group travels independently for a week. The cost of the entire project is under $1000, depending on the country one wishes to visit. Kathie, who has studied Spanish for eight years, lived in San Sebastian, the wealthiest part of Spain, with the Don Juan Olaizola family, consisting of his wife's parents, and D. Olaizola's ten month old son, Juan Carlos. The Spaniards took her on a bus tour of Galicia, and the group's independent tour was through Andalucia. The organization's motto, "Expect the Unexpected," could best be illustrated by Kathie's own experiences. Commenting on the Galician tour, she said, "The bus ride itself was unique. The bus drivers maneuver their buses." She we had to allow two hours of every day for getting lost. There was one time we traveled over a bridge resembling that of the River Kwai. It was amazing how those bus drivers meneuver their buses."

Tapoff time is set for 8:00 at the gym. Last year the Colonels were trounced by the Lions, 95-55, at Reading. Outplayed throughout the contest, the Colonels tried, in vain, to overcome the striking height advantage of the Lions, but finally succumbed to the smooth-moving Albright quintet.

The high schools are preparing for opening nights and holiday tourneys. The Colonels open tomorrow night with Albright, and the Wilkes-Barre Barons show promise of a fine year. Since the baseball Barons left Wilkes-Barre a number of years ago, the basketball Barons have been the only professional sport in the valley. The Barons, local pro cagers, have produced some fine teams in the interim since baseball left. The past few campaigns, however, have left something to be desired; the Barons having ended , up in fifth place last season. This year the Wilkes-Barreans are hopeful of an improvement over last season's record and are off to a good start towards the realization of this goal. In three games played thus far, the Barons have won two and lost one. In the opener on Thanksgiving night, the Barons defeated th e Scranton Miners.

Some 5,000 fans witnessed a free-reeling contest a s Wilkes scored two quick tallies in the first period. Wilkes thus ended its season with a 3-4 r ecord, the best since the 1954 season, and gave new head coach Roland Schmidt a terrific sendoff in his first season.

The bull s are let loose to run through the streets and the boys of the city run in front of them. The object of the run is to see who can run closest without being mangled. The bullfight begins at 5:00 P.M., and Kathie had the distinct pleasure of seeing one of Spain's most prominent bullfighters, Ordonez, who was a friend of Hemingway's. The bullfight Kathie described a s magnificent. In gratitude, the bullfighter is awarded the bull's ears. Speaking of the trip in general, Kathie said, " It was r eally the most rewarding summer of my life ; just fabulou s. The family considered me a part of them. I saw Europe as a European sees it.

You know, Yabitz Turrista, the sharp looking fellow that's always in the "Calf. " I often wonder when Yabitz goes to class. It doesn't seem to matter when you go in - he's always there, gathering gossip by osmosis. He's even there in the pre-dawn, before eight o'clock in the morning . . . . As anybody who reads a magazine knows, "whig-wearing" is here. "C.C.," that is Yabitz's favorite coed, has introduced a beautiful platinum job to the Wilkes Commons. After last week's exhibition, we'll never be the same a gain . . . . Yabitz and his pal, Bumps Heffe l, were reading Coach Schmidt's recent best seller - the 1962 Football Notebook. They nearly broke down and cried when they found out that the season is nearly over. Now they have to scrounge for a copy of Coach Reese's "Tour of the Wilkes-Barre Dike System" in order to keep up with the intellectual set . . . . Speaking of Bumps, he may just graduate this June.

I Sole Coed Accounting Major A Rose Among Thorns" 11 - hy .J oe Klai1>s How does it feel to be the only female accounting major at Wilkes? Perh<:1ps this question can best be answered by the young lady who 1s the only female accounting major at Wilkes, Alice Powell. "I must admit that in the beginning I did feel rather out of place; however as time passed, I adjusted to this condition, and at the present time don't even give its existence a second thought." Because she is an accounting major, Alice must serve a six-week internship _with an accounting firm during the second semester of her senior year. This internship will begin on January 28, and will continue until March 15. Alice has selected the fir m of Laventhol, Krekstien Co. of Wilkes Barre to serve her internship with. Don't, however, get the idea that accounting is the only subject which interests Alice. She is a swimming During her years at Wilkes Alice has taken part in a numbe1'. of different activities. She was a member of the woman's chorus for th1'ee years, a men{ber of kickline for one year, a m emb er of I.D.C., a member of T.D.R. for two years, and is currently serving a s president of Chapman Hall. Alice':; attitude toward Wilkes College can best be expressed in her own words. "There are a number of things which I feel are pleasing about Wilkes, but perhaps the one which pleases m e the most is the dorm set-up. It is so much like home, and everyone is part , of one big, happy family. I feel that if we had all the girls and boys in separate large dormitories all this home-like feeling would be lost. Another quality I found at Wilkes is the opportunity to become closely acquainted with your professors, and the friendly attitude each one ex presses toward you." ln the futur e, Alice plans to work as an accountant for the fed eral government. - - -- - -- · - - -· - --- - Alice Powell Book & Card Mart a nd water skiing en thusiast, and also enjoys reading and listening to classical mu sic. 10 S.

Friday, December 7, 1962 limitations placed on the media of communication while others believe that censorship is necessary to purge the media of communication of undersirable influences on society. ---+ In the general discussion panel- Debaters Go to Temple The College novice debaters won eight out of 16 rounds of debate last week at the annual Temple University Novice Debate Tournament in which 66 colleges participa t ed. The affirmative teams defeated the City College of New York, Iona College, and two Randolph Macon teams, while the negative defeated La Salle, Hofstra, and two teams from the City College of New York. Douglas Kistler scored the highest number of points for Wilkes. J ohn Campbell, varsity debater, acted as a judge along with facult y members Charlotte Lord and Dirk Budd, who also serve as coaches to the teams. Lynne Dente, a form er debater, accompanied the team as a critical observer. Those who participated in the tournament are : William Holmes, Douglas Kistler, David Levy, Carol Meneguzzo, Alis Pucilowsky, Rosemary Rush, Claire Sheridan, and James Tredinnick. This was a fine showing for the novices who have attended only 2 other tournaments this year - the first, a non-decision debate at Lehigh University and the second, a regular debate at Harpur. ist Joyce Cavalini pointed out that censorship should have limitations and should be enforced with regard to obscene literature. Along the same vein Bob Sallavanti stated that obscene literature corrupts our youth primarily because it is so easily obtainable at the corner drug store. He added, when the morals of our youth are corrupted, our moral standards as a nation are lowered. Regarding censorship from another angle Alan Krieger felt that censorship should not be used to keep historical facts from the public. He refeITed to Hitler's atrocities. Dean Ralston summarized that the panelists were against censorship in general but favored it in specific areas such as obscene literature. Bill Carver substantiated Dean Ralston's remarks by agreeing that censorship should function in certain areas. As an example he mentioned that a magazine such as "Esquire" should not be easily accessible to the ten or twelve year old child. According to Livingston Clewell, creator of "Focus," this week's topic will be "Morality at MidCentury." Panelists will be Kathy DeAngelis, Tom Halsted, Bernard Cohen, and Marshall Brooks. "Focus" can be heard every Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock on radio station WNAK. Collegians Add Spirit as TDR Hosts Golden Agers The annual TDR "Golden Agers' Party" will be held Wednesday afternoon at McClintock Hall, beginning at 2:00. Decorations will be in accordance with the Christmas season, and refreshments will be served. The Collegians will entertain, and Santa Claus will distribute gifts to the old folks, who are residents of area homes for the aged. The Lettermen will transport the guests to and from the party. Co-chairmen Andrea Petrasek and Kathy Scopic have announced the following aides: Barbara Karcheski, invitations; Lorraine Rome, refreshments; Judy Sisco, decorations; Dolores Chickanosky, entertainment; Irene Dorninguez and Adele Bernardi, favors. Annual Clinic Scheduled; Tax Laws To Be Discussed The Wilkes College Department of Commerce and Finance and the Northeastern Chapter of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants are jointly sponsoring the ninth annual tax clinic being held on campus today and tomorrow. Elmo M. Clemente, Institute chairman, has announced that the clinic has been arranged especially for 1 a w y e r s, accountants, bankers, and all others who require detailed knowledge of United States and Pennsylvania tax laws. Six lecture and discussion sessions pertaining to recent and likely developments in the tax area will be conducted by men of national prominence.

There is going to be "no dearth of markets for fossil fuels," even though the total power industry should be absorbed by nuclear installations, says the AEC. Free Food at JDC Party Sludenl Analyzes Crisis in India; v·Jews 3Ma1or . Infl uenc1ng . Forces by Fred Smithson "We are getting out of touch with a modem world. We are living in an artificial atmosphere of our own creation and we have been shaken out of it." By saying this, Jawaharlal Nehru began a reappraisal of his policy of non-alignment. To Nehru the policy of non-alignment was a "live and let live" doctrine-a doctrine which he has adhered to during the fifteen years of Indian independence whenever conflict with Communist ideology grew. The Prime Minister can no longer retain his outmoded ideas which were formed during the '20s and '30s. When the Chinese armies began to pour into the North East Frontier Agency and into Ladakh they forced a metamorphosis to take place within all of India. No man, woman, or child has been spared. One of the biggest changes has been in Nehru himself. He can no longer rationalize the actions of the Communists and save face with his people. The big question is how much of a change has taken place within him. Now that the Chinese have tempo- one which he can see whenever he rarily halted their advance will he goes to the North or the Northeast again revert to his policy of "live of India. and let live"? . The second forc e is that of his people. The people were aroused from their lethargy and forced to take notice of their neighbors to the north. They are cognizant of the fact that if China wanted to, it could have advanced much farther south. The people want to be able to defend themselves and will thus forc e Nehru to build a large army. The third force on Nehru, and the one considered most important, is the new advisers with which he has surrounded himself. His new Defense Minister is Y.B. Chavan. A strong nationalist against the British years ago, Chavan has the philosophy of going into battle to win. If victory cannot be gained, then the only alternative is death. Jawaharlal Nehru The commander-in-chief of the "Live and let live"? army is Lieutenant General J.N. There are three forces acting on Chaudhuri who saw action in the Nehru.

Perhaps if the campus would produce one such masterpiece each week the Beacon could publish a "Letters" column once in a while. Evidently the ordinary world-wide, national, local, and campus activity does not furnish thought-provoking ideas. That is one possibility. The other possibility-that apathetic college people just don't care what happens-is one that this editor will not even mention. Too gruesome is the thought! Of course the campus thinks about an honor code, about the yearbook, about student seminars, about controversial issues in its newspaper. One can hear it thinking about these things in the cafeteria, in the library, and during classes, not to mention between classes and in lavatories. The campus appears to be just too frightened to make its thoughts public. Don't be afraid, campus. Write letters to the paper. We'll protect you. G.M.Z. Last Chance Material in next week's Beacon will cover the dates December 14 through January 10. Any club or organization planning an activity during that time must make the information available to the newspaper staff before that Tuesday evening. Deadline is 5 p.m. See any member of the staff, or bring said information to the office, Pickering, second floor. Priority in story length and placement in the paper will be given to those stories which will arrive early. Adequate coverage demands that the deadline be met. G.M.Z.

Edgerton It's no secret by now that the Wilkes College production of The Music Man was (excuse the expression) "Swell." Daily papers raved for three days over the boxoffice success of the musical play that even turned away hund1·eds last Saturday for lack of seats, despite the bad acoustics in some parts of the hall. Obviously, too, despite The Music Man appearing on Broadway and in local movie houses, whoever chose this play knew the territory. Or maybe they just knew Wilkes students, for the success of the play in the last analysis depended on hard-wo1,king undergraduates. Of course, members of the community made the play possible. What would The Music Man have done without the professional help of Cathal O'Toole, set designer, or Jozia Mieszkowski and Barbara Weisberger, choreographer and dance consultant. And no mention of the play is complete without cheers for the support in the cast LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor : Why should a professor of philosophy, no more an expert on musical comedies than "Professor Hill" on musical instruments, wish to write about "The Music Man?" Well, were I not afraid to appear solemn, I'd answer by that . wellknown quotation about the heart having reasons which reason does not understand. The less pretentious way of answering, though, is to simply state that I felt the irrepressible urge to say one final "thanks" to those "over 200 people" (especially to those who will remain unmentioned even in this letter), whose· talents, ambition, time, patience, and !'esprit de corps have made this unusual pre-Christmas gift to the community possible. Let me make clear that I am not moved by the plot of Meredith Willson's musical. The story is that all-too familiar piece of American theatrical folklore: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are equally good and that if you scratch a crook you'll find the heart of a Santa Claus. The sight of a marching band of kids and of two young people falling in love washes away not only a multitude of sins, but a multitude of inhibitions too; just beneath a thin veneer of respectability, every mayor of a Midwestern town is a potential Charles Laughton or Maurice Chevalier, and every housewife a potential Ziegfeld girl. It is as soapy as the most improved recent detergent, and as corny as Kansas in August (if you'll excuse the expression - and the plagiarism). But there are redeeming features, of course. The music is pleasing, the rhythm contagious, the pre-World War I setting in River City brings back nostalgic memories of a less complicated world, the choreography is colorful and the opening train-scene is one of the more ingenious devices in show business. Still, it is not the play but the performance that has prompted this letter. The show was a resounding success. Al Groh's directing was forceful and sensitive. Bob Lovett needed all the authority of a department chairman and all the skill of an experienced conductor to effect the blending of such a vast and unwieldy array of musical talent -r anging all the way from professionals and perfectionists to beginners - and he did an exceptionally fine job. The sheer number and exuberance of the participants in the choruses made Dick Chapline's work much easier. The soloists were more than adequate. Acting was excellent most of the time; the only fault I can think of is the occasionally poor enuncia- 1 Dear Editor, tion and diction.

Wilson Coach John Reese's wrestlers have started practice for the upcoming campaign which includes an eight-meet schedule and the MAC Tournament. Eliminations will be held next Tuesday and Wednesday for the starting berths and interested spectators are invited to attend these eliminations. The Colonels have eight returning lettermen including Ned McGinley, Dave Puerta, Ron Henney, Nick Stefanowski, John Gardner, Harry Vogt, Bob Ainsworth, and Bob Herman. Several underclassmen are vying for star•ing berths including Dick Burns, Tim Adams, Chip Reilly, Jim Bamerick, Dick Dugan, Joe Easley, Jim McNew, and Jim Lisowski. Chuck Adonizio also expects to join the squad, but is currently recuperating from a knee injury suffered this football season. The Colonels posted a 4-2-2 record last year and are working hard to be MAC champs again. Last weekend t h e wresters worked out at Stevens Trade School and this weekend they travel to West Point to meet the Cadets in an exhibition meet. The regular season opens on Dec. 14 with a match at Ithaca. Tomorrow night, the Colonel dribblers will again take the home court when they meet the Bombers of Ithaca College. The Bomber squad boasts eight lettermen, including four of the five starters from last year's squad. Their starting lineup will probably consist of John Hewes, 6'5", Bill Schutz, 6'4", George Strickland, 6'5", Don Fazio, 5'8", and Tom Vogt, 6'.

The first defeat came at the hands of Williamsport, giving the Billies their first victory of the young campaign. Sunday night also proved unfortunate for the Barons as they were barely wipped by the Scranton Miners, 103-102. Williamsport started off slowly against the Barons, waiting six minutes to score their first goal. The Billies, however, managed to catch the Barons at the end of the first quarter, thanks to Ed O'Connor who tallied 12 for the night. In the closing seconds of the first half, the Billies captured a 43-41 lead via a stolen ball and a Carl Green basket. With John Chaney, Julius McCoy, and Green supplying the Individual Grid Stats punch, Williamsport acquired a PASSING sizeable lead in the third quarter. PA PC YG Pct.

I would thus like to take this opportunity to discuss this subject more fully. No simple answer can be given since many factors play an important part in determining the correct age. Today there is no more doubt among educators on the advisability of including music education as part of the regular academic program. Most of the time this will start in the first grade or sooner, in the form of learning to sing songs. The human voice is both the most natural and the most perfect vehicle of musical expression. Long before the small child learns control of the vocal chords he will try to sing the songs he hears from infancy on. As soon as he can walk and run, he will express rhythm through body motion which eventually leads to dance. Any encouragement the child gets towards developing these natural tendencies, that much more he will eventually be able to include song and dance in his vocabulary of happy living. But what of instruments? They require a special manipulatory skill which often takes years of study and practice to acquire. The first thing to keep in mind is that the child will usually imitate the parents in his interests. If the climate for instumental study is not right in the home, only rarely will a child have the endurance necessary to pass beyond the point of drudgery to where it becomes enjoyment. A small child rarely shows any preference for a particular instrument. Again, it will be up to the parent to decide upon a particular course. Each instrument has a rating of difficulty and length of time it takes before one has mastered its basic problems. Two of the easiest instruments to start out with are the piano and the recorder (tonette). The latter has been successfully used in class instruction for first graders throughout the country and a school like Juilliard uses the recorder as the instrument best suited to teach the basic rudiments of music to young children. However its application is limited and eventually the child switches to another instrument. The best method of learning an instrument is to be constantly exposed to it, almost in the same manner as a child is exposed to speech and learns to talk without the slightest effort. Our daughter started with piano lessons soon after her third birthday. Even though now, after six months of study she still has not learned to play a whole piece alone, she is learning the musical language before real consciousness sets in. Progress is slow at this age and it takes a specially gifted teacher who will have the patience to work with a child this young. I say that the piano is easy to learn because the individual tones do not have to be created as on most other instruments, however it also takes many years, ten or more, to learn the finger control necessary to play music of even limited difficulty. That is why an early start is advantageous. Another instrument where an early start is advantageous is the violin the instrument which offers the most problems of a technical nature in its beginning study. Recently a Japanese teacher, Suzuki by name, has gained international recognition in his success with small children, teaching as many as thirty to fifty at one time and having them exposed several hours a day to the practice of the older and more advanced students. Generally we have come to say that the child should express a strong desire to study the violin before embarking upon its mastery, since many frustrations will be in store for him which can only be overcome by a strong Jove for the instrument. I myself started with the violin at the age of eight, an age which I now regard as too late for achieving ultimate perfection. One has to grow up with an instrument like the piano or the violin from infancy on. This, however, is not the case with the wind instruments. Here the period of actual technical growth is considerably shorter and also a well developed wind control is necessary before starting. I have seen marvelous results with students who start out playing the clarinet or the oboe not until their late teens. This is one reason why bands are so much easier to create than orchestras. The initial period of study is simply shorter with the wind instruments than with the strings. With voice the story is still different. It is generally acknowledged that not much is gained by trying to develop a voice before maturation. Also I claim that anyone with intelligence and hard work can learn to play an instrument but this is not the case with the voice. Here, the natural endowed quality and talent is more of a factor towards the production of a pleasing sound. Certainly a voice can be trained and improved, but I know that no amount of study and work would ever make me a singer, yet with work and study I know I could take up almost any instrument and play it well enough to satisfy an average critical ear. So where does that leave us? Am I pushing the age up too far for the average talent with regards to the piano and violin? Perhaps so, but the experience, from those who now control the concert stage, teaches us that in almost all cases music study was inaugurated between the ages of three and five. Natually, if the expectations diminish, then any later time is also acceptable. Say eight or nine, an age when the child is mature enough to make his own decisions and to work at least some by himself. But music practice is the topic for another article.

But since every book on the New Book Shelves of the Wilkes College Library is covered, a "catchy" title must serve this purpose. , The titles of ·at least one of these four new books will certainly detain a passerby, providing he doesn't have a class to make or a paper due before Christmas. The Cry for Help is sure to stop any humanitarian in his tracks. This volume, edited by Doctors Norman L. Farberow and Edwin S. Shneidman, "conveys the messages of suffering and anguish and the pleas for response that are expressed by and . contained within suicidal behaviors. This work gives practical community and individual procedures for responding to the cry as well as aids for further understanding the theoretical considerations." If the library patron is having difficulty financing his Christmas gift-giving, perhaps Other People's Money will gain his attention. But Donald R. Cressey, author of this study in the social psychology of embezzlement doesn't suggest a too active participation on the part of the reader in this "interesting social problem." Biologists might consider wandering among (the pages of) Dragons and Daffodils, but unless they are Anglo-Welsh they may be a little disappointed because this is an anthology of verse by John Stuart Williams and Richard Milner which "reveals a small part of the tremendous amount of creative work being done in Wales.'' But, on second thought, since the object of the book is to "inject the fresh vigour of close contact with life unglazed over by supefluous sophistication," biologists might find it interesting after all. Many historians might like to bid Farewell to the Bloody Shirt, but few would pass up this provocative title. Author Stanley P. Hirshon would reward them for their delay with "a detailed account of the rivalry between . . . two conflicting schools of Republican thought, the outcome of which determined the basic pattern of race relations which persists in most of the South to this day." Peace Corps Exam Set Tentative plans have been made to give the Peace Corps Placement Examination on Wilkes campus on or about February 23. The purpose of this test is to find which of the interested students are actually Peace Corps material. Students who seem to have this requirement will then be given a shorter examination in conjunction with the processing of their application. Passing this, the applicant will then begin the real testing. Wilkes students who are interested in taking the preliminary step in joining the Peace Corps are asked to see Mr. Hoover in Chase Hall before January 10. James H.

She was amazed at the number of students from outside the Wilkes-Barre area. Formerly the students were almost "all local people." Now there are students from all parts of the country and a few from foreign countries. Miss McAniff has observed that all the facilities and departments have grown unbelieveably in the past few years. She stated that it is marvelous to think that Wilkes has "expanded from the top floor of one building to include almost thirty buildings and to have the enrollment increase to the present number." Wilkes has grown in the past, but it is still expanding to meet the demands of its students and its community. WILKES COLLEGE COLORING BOOK 1. This is a Wilkes College Freshman.

Color him very, very green. 1:4,. 1962 with Hal Kistler With the Christmas s ea so n quickly approaching, we'll soon be engulfed in the usual mass of commercial music. In contrast to the fate of most popular music, many of these Christmas songs have become standards and have returned to the "top tune" lists year after year after year. Probably the biggest seller of all popular music was a Christmas song. This, of course, would be "White Christmas". The year it was originally released, the song became immediately popular and remained popular right through the following year and into the next .Christmas season. Commercial Christmas m u s i c covers a wide variety of subjects. There are songs about a reindeer with frostbite of the nose, a pretty little waltz sung by inebriated chipmunks, and, of course, about a little kid who wants false teeth for Christmas. · By the end of the holiday season, a person can get awfullsr sick of Christmas songs. The radio stations play them day and night, the stores blast them through their speaker systems, and the dance bands push them. Even the rock 'n roll groups have entered the field with such favorites as "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Rockin' Round the Christmas Tree." One can only anticipate with horror what the twist and limbo groups are likely; to create ( ?).

These are the improvements that Conrad Wagner, senior Political Science major from Hempstead, Long Island, would like to see introduced at Wilkes in the future. Commenting once again on the concerts, Conrad stated that they should be sponsored by the student body as a whole, not by one particular class or organization as was done in the past. 'Tm sure the results would be much better." Folk songs have inspired Conrad to learn to play the guitar. "The tales which the songs relate are interesting because they often have an historical background, and strumming a guitar is relaxing because it provides a break from a hectic day of classes._" His musical interests are not confined to jazz or folk songs, since he also enjoys twisting. Active in student affairs since his freshman year, Conrad has been Treasurer of his class for four years, a member of IDC during his ·sophomore year, and is presently serving as President of CCUN and Secretary of Barre Hall. "The organizations on campus would probably attract student interest if each one could issue a yearly publication of its accomplishments; as the Manuscript Society is presently doing. The chief obstacle to this idea is acquiring finances to meet the cost of publication." Conrad chose Wilkes because it is a small, non-sectarian college. Comparing the people of WilkesBarre to those of other communities, he stated that the WilkesBarreans seem to be friendlier and accept outsiders into their groups more readily. He thinks that Wilkes-Barre itself is quite depressing in the winter. "But, on the . Conrad Wagner other hand, it is much more pleas-..-:.--- - - - - - - - - - -ant in the early summer. Carnival Plans Arranged Conrad has the privilege of being "one of the few commuting dorm students" at Wilkes. His schedule allows him to journey home almost every weekend. "Living in a dorm is a wonderful experience, but it's not conducive to study." International Scene by Fred Smithson With the sound of "Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born King" fresh on the lips of students around campus, we have rapidly moved into another Christmas season. But this same, joyous spirit which we have is not shared by aU people. Words are flowing from the lips of the Indian people also but they are not of love and Christmas spirit. Instead, they sing of hate and killing. India is white hot with hate toward their powerful Chinese neighbor. Finally shaken out of their pacifism by the sudden onslaught of Chinese into Indian territory, the Nehru government is now stalling for time. Time is needed in which to build and strengthen the armies. Armies which had almost been destroyed by the philosophy of Nehru and Krishna Menon. A philosophy which had allowed the armies to decay into a tragic state of unpreparedness because of a misguided faith and trust in the peaceful intentions of Communist China. W h e n the Chinese abruptly halted their advance, the Indians were given the breathing spell they needed. The United States, Britain, West Germany, and Australia have been rushing military supplies to the ill-equipped Indian armies during the lull in the fighting. But this lull may not persist too much longer. The Chinese have been demanding a settlement of the border dispute on their terms, terms which Nehru has said are impossible to meet. The Chinese have begun to pull back from their furthest advances but they still retain the most militarily strategic areas. They still control area from which new attacks may easily be launched. Nehru knows the importance of the Chinese-held ground and refuses to recognize their claim as legal. He vows to recover it by force if necessary. While we go peacefully Christmas shopping or down to the gym to watch a basketball game, Indian Physical Activity Helps lo Keep Musician Trim for Conducting by Vicki Tatz Newest addition to the Music Department is Donald Marcase, presently director of the Wilkes College Band. Marcase comes to Wilkes with a wide background of experience. Although originally from Pittsburgh, he received his bachelor's and master's degrees in music at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. While a student at Cincinnati he taught there and played comet with the Symphony Orchestra. Subsequent to that he was director of music at Waynesburg College in Pennsylvania, taught secondary: school for two years in Ohio, was head of the department of music at Northwest Mississippi Junior College (where he met his wife), and attended Indiana University for three years, at which he is currently a candidate for his doctorate in musicology. Coincident with this, his main immediate objective is to complete his dissertation on the early history (circa 1605-1650) of the figured bass. For non-musicologists this means, roughly, how to play from the bass line. His long-range goal is to translate a trumpet treatise of the mid-eighteenth century. Marcase finds the history of music fascinating, as evidenced by his pleasure in having had the opportunity to transcribe some troubadour melodies. He also collects rare books on music and rare or limited editions of music books. The "pride and joy" of his collection is five columns of the 1782 edition of Rousseau's famous dictionary of music. ·Although the trumpet has been his major instrument, ever since he f:rst began playing it at the age of ten, he also is accomplished on the French horn, piano, and organ. He attributes his interest in music to his home environment, especially since his father is an amateur musician who has done some voice studies. Although he claims that he has no favorite composer aside from the one he happens to be performing at the time, he admits a partiality for Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. As for modern music, he states that it is too soon to judge contemporary composers. Aside from music, Marcase also is an active sports fan. He enjoys basketball and has been an avid swimming fan since his days at Indiana. Also, he eagerly anticipates the spring in order to be able to start gard.e ning in the yard of his home in Shavertown. He considers physical activity a fine diversion which helps to keep him in trim for conductin2:. Questioned about his reaction to Wilkes, he stated that, "I am very impressed by the college, the student body, and the community in general. There is a serious atmosphere here; the students really want to learn. I want to develop the Wilkes band into the finest college band in the area, an outstanding musical organization. I look forward to a long stay at Wilkes and to the expansion of the Music Department." Plans are presently being formulated for Wilkes' annual interammunition. Supplies which may semester holiday.

However, not all the customs associated with the Season revolve around Jesus. When Pope Julius I (A.D. 337-352) established December 25 as marking the Nativity, he had in mind the belief that by introducing a Christian feast to be celebrated simultaneously with those of the pagans it would purify and preserve for the new faith whatever was innocent and deeply loved in the old. Since the Jewish Feasts of Lights, the Roman Saturnalis, the Scandinavian Yule, and the Winter Solstice were each celebrated around the 25th of December, it is easy to understand how so many of the customs surrounding this Christian Feast have pagan roots. Wilkes College traditions, then, reflect both the Ancient World and Christianity. Hospitality Hospitality-her first customgot its impetus with Mr. Denion's A Christmas Package TRES CHIC Mistletoe Mileage Everyone knows that should a girl be caught standing under a mistletoe she can expect to be kissed.

Caroling Songs Accepting the admonishment of one of the saints that "no one but man is fit to sing God's praises" the practice of Christmas Caroling has arisen. Wilkes has fallen in step with both light and serious heart. Wednesday evening Christine Bialogowicz led the underclassmen from the Gym to Chapman Hall in the annual Caroling. Chapman opened her doors to warm the hearty singers with refreshments. Evidently the same s p i r i t prompted the faculty to serenade the student body at Thursday's assembly. They picked their favorite songs and sent the students to vacation, a little gayer. Those passing the lengths of River Street may thank Dennison Hall for the wonderful music. Decorations Evergreens were first used for their ability to bring nature indoors - Nature was alive in all things to the Ancients. Decorations, too, date back to Roman days when it was common to hang little masks of Bacchus upon these to impart fertility to every side of the tree to which the wind turned the faces of these mask!!!. Christmas trees as we know them have lost touch with the Spirits as have their decorations. At Wilkes this fact is implied when one views the decor of Hollenback Hall's tree. It is ornamented with beer cans. We can't help wondering what sort of gifts the residents of this dorm will exchange around this tree! dinner for the dormitory students Sunday evening, December 9. Though the original Christmas feasts consisted of a Boar's Head Carol, the students realizing the cramped kitchen facilities were content with half-a-chicken each and general caroling.

Tisseyre, to describe !or us Christmas as it is celebrated m Provence, France. "On Christmas Eve the whole family sits down to a light meal (at which one eats thirteen desserts thirteen symbolizes the twelve apostles and one for the malheureux, the poor). "After this dinner one gets ready to leave for the midnight Mass. Everyone goes to church together. At the church all join in to sing carols, including 'II est ne le Divine Enfant.' The focal point of everyone's attention is the creche, a large representation of the nativity scene. Then follows the cortege (procession) led by the priest who places the baby Christ in the creche. Children dressed in the old provencal costumes and bearing a small lamb march after him. "Christmas in Provence, as in the United States, is a holiday for children, who place their shoes by the fireplace, and awake Christmas morning to find them filled with surprises. When all the presents have been opened and admired and the enfants sages (good children) are very happy, there is a party. The young people dance and feast. People promenades in the parks and streets of their town. At noon they eat a meal of turkey or goose. The dessert is a traditional Christmas cake, which is a chocolate version of the yule log." Universally, Christmas unites friends and relations who spend one happy day together exchanging gifts and sharing l'esprit du Noel. Sincerely yours, Marsha Hochberg Linda Ewing �~ Friday,.

Ju-jftsu is primarily_·a combat art used among Oriental countries and has an early beginning. It includes kicking, chopping, and many holds .which have been barred from judo because of the danger of serious injury which could result from their use.

ROSE BOWL.-TOURNE-YIN FINAL PREPARATIONS The "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" will again be spotlighted in the College gym on 'Deceinber 28 and 29 for the 31st annual Wilkes College Open Tournament, the largest ~d most publicized ' tourney in the nation. Each year hundreds of the most talented matmen in America battle for top honors of the ten individual championships, including the Bruce Blackman Award for the outstanding grappler (named after the former sports editor of the Times-Leader Evening News) and the High Point Trophy. Bob Bmno Kodokan Black Belt his black belt. In progressing to the level of a black belt, a student must master a number of moves, including some 28-30 major throws, 15 chokes, elbow .locks, and hold downs, plus achieving mastery in mat fighting. After gaining sufficient skill in these maneuvers, as decided by the instructor, the student demonstrates his skill in an actual judo match. If the student is to be advanced, the instructor sends his recommendation to one of the judo headquarters. The central headquarters in Kodokan, Japan, has the final say in issuing the black belt and other advancements. On the approval of the headquarters at Kodokan, the student received a certificate of his proficiency, and is authorized to wear the color of his rank. A student progresses from the white belt of a beginner to the brown belt of a semi-proficient. On the black belt level there are 10 degrees of proficiency. Bob also stated that Judo was gaining in popularity, and that it was entirely possible that it would be included in the next Olympic Games.

Charles Bush of Ithaca ran away with the individual trophies, copping the 116-pound championship, the Blackman Trophy, and the High Point Trophy.

In 1931, local high school grapplers met and thus marked the first YMCA Open Tournament. With competition mounting and more sports enthusiasts being aroused over this growing sport, action was transfered from the Central "Y" to the Wilkes Gym in 1961, which provided more accommodations for the contest. This was the real start of the Wilkes Open. An official change of name in 1952 to the Wilkes College Eastern Open Wrestling Championship was brought about by the Wyoming Valley Wrestling Committee because of the large role that Wilkes played in arrangement for the tourney. The first year of action in the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" found expectations of 100 wrestlers at the tournament. Instead, an overflow of 164 matmen entered and special arrangements had to be drawn up to accomodate them. Look Your Beat. .. Be Well Groomed! TONY'S So.

In the opening minutes of the second half, Coach Carlton Wood's Bombers continued their spurt to grab an eight point lead from the Colonels with approximately seven minutes to play.

After the Juniata contest the Wilkesmen travel to Annville, Pa. on Tuesday, Jan. 8, to engage the Lebanon Valley five.

In conference play, they finished twelfth in a twelve team division, winning only a single conference game while losing 13. This season may very well be a repeat of the 1961-62 campaign. Last Saturday night, the cagers fumbled and stumbled their way to a 54-52 ·1oss to the Bombers of Ithaca College in a sloppily-played contest. That the Bo:inbers' squad will not be a contender for national honors, .or regional honors, or conference honors, is apparent. They may, God-willing, win a few more games. The !act is that the Bombers simply are not an effective basketball team. They are not exceptionally tall or fast and they lack an outside shooter. .. . . These glaring weaknesses of the men . fro:n;L Ithaca, did not deter our Colonels from losing to them. The .Wilkesmen, at times, appeared to be engaged in nothing more than a pick-up game similar to one we might find in a Phys. Ed. 101 class. A number of their plays resembled off-tackle slants and quarterback sneaks. Needless to say, such tactics did not work too well. Many factors contributed to the Colonels' shoddy performance. Captain Harvey Rosen, admittedly, had a bad night. Center Steve Gerko lagged on fast breaks and rebounded poorly. Coach Eddie Davis spent most of the evening shouting confusing, and often conflicting, orders to his charges. · Also, he spent his usual amount of time discussing the shortcomings of the referees. Wilkes strategy near the end of the game, also, was questionable. '· · If the Colonel cagers are to reverse their current losing trend, there must be a revamping of the basketball set-up. Any change would be welcome. With a view to the hardwood record of last year, and team's performance so far this season, one may quickly discern that the Colonels cannot get much worse. As it stands, the end of the drought .is not yet on the horizon. RETURN OF LITTLE Iq-{OWN FACTS Bill Mlkvy of Temple scored 73 pains· against Wilkes in a 1951 basketball contest.

Hurry, Hurry! Rush right down and pick up those last minute gifts." This urgent command by the authoritative voice of a radio announcer sent me rushing headlong through our hall the other day, in a trance-like stupor. In my extreme haste, my glazed eyes never noticed the disarray on the floor. Bang - Squeal - Clang - Rip - Oww .... Down I fell, into the midst of chaos, right on the tip of a branch of an aluminum tree bedecked with lights crazily blinking off and on and what seemed like a million little bells jangling in all tones - mostly harsh clangs. Much to my horror, I found myself surrounded by a giant, metallic "reindeer monster," an immense Yogi Bear rubber balloon, two dancing bears jitterbugging over my prostrate body, and a prancing, dancing little blond spirit repeating over and over in her high mechanical voice - I am a Barbie doll, comb my hair, dress me, feed me. A moment later, I realized that all was quite explainable - these were only Christmas gifts and decorations. But I still couldn't oblitera te my first horrible impression. Shocked by the impact of the fall or perhaps just brought back to reality by closer contact with "good old mother earth," I gazed around me astonishingly, feeling as if I had just regained my sight after many years of blindness. What holocaust had I released? .. Yes, holocaust - for that's the only word that could describe the whirring, buzzing, screaming, leering, man-made monstrosities around me. And then another disturbing thought came to me. Where was I going? I had done all my Christmas shopping weeks ago. As my head cleared, I realized that I had been almost hypnotized by that omniscient radio voice commanding me to "rush right down town." Spurred into action by the persistent pressure of the aluminum branch, I leaped up and glanced around at all my tormentors. I wondered at their ugly coldness - their look of mechanical glee. And yet l had brought them into my home. But how '! Surely not of my own volition. How could I ... "Don't be caught in the last minute rush." Once again that voice attempted catch me in its spell. That's the answer! With a sudden flash of insight I saw clearly that we were all in the clutches of that monstrous, anonymous voice, the voice of that master crew of magicians - the business agents, the merchandisers, the ''hidden persuaders" who have progressively modernized, almost mechanized, certainly monopoHzed Christmas. I reflected on the whole Christmas tradition and was shocked by how thoroughly they've taken over. "They" start organizing us for Christmas a year in advance. We all rush out, very efficiently, and start gigantic Christmas Clubs supposedly so we won't be caught short of cash for the holiday season. What w~ actually do is scrimp and save all year 'round so we can "blow it all" at Christmas. But try to buck the trend. Everyone who's anyone has a Christmas Club and the bigger the better. It's almost a status symbol. After all, we must have more money so that we can outdo our relatives in the annual "Christmas gift competition." And these gifts. Are they carefully chosen with love and affection and particular attention for each recipient? No, we just phone the "Personal Shopper' 'at the local department store and she not only chooses the gift, but has it gift wrapped, and sent out. We never even have to see it. Or better still, we can take a trip to New York, feed statistical information on Aunt Zelda into Macy's Christmas Gift Selector and out will pop a gift selected for her by this all-knowing, infallible creature. No fuss, no muss, no bother. And this no fuss - no muss - no bother extends to the Christmas tree - that age-old symbol of cheer. In an earlier day, groups of men and women full of comradeship and good cheer went out into the forest a nd cut down their own trees. Not for us - this physical effort - we once again call our Personal Shopper, order a 9' aluminum tree with balls already hung on every limb and we're set for a lifetime of Christmases. We don't cut our trees - we assemble and disassemble them - branch by cold, lifeless branch. And the scene beneath the tree - the nativity, the beauteous country scenes. They've given way to a modern "industrial society" scene - penthouses, factories, gas stations, airports, and split level bungalows. "They" have relegated us to a world of mass machine-typed signatures on greeting cards, static piped-in Christmas carols, neon lit, harshly glaring house decorations which obliterate the natural beauty of the winter scene, Santa Clauses of all sizes and shapes from pygmies to giants frightening to little children and adults alike, and Christmas tree lights that leave us in complete darkness when a single one fails. That does it! I've finally awakened. We must save Christmas. Armed with my razor sharp aluminum limbs, my shorted Christmas lights, and unbreakable "carolling record bludgeon", my stai~less steel reindeer abstract from the front lawn, an extremely pomted rocket from my "under-the-tree missile base, and my poisonous, instant Christmas snow spray, I'm going to march on the business district and declare war?

Her father's job with a company which mines for min~rals and base metals is the reason Carole's "getting around. Since her birth in Bolivia, she's lived in Peru, Switzerland, Johannesburg, and will be visiting New York City during holidays from college. Since Carole had begun college in Johannesburg at the University of Wetwatersrand, this interviewer asked the obvious - "Why did you come to Wilkes?" Carole explained that her father is subject to transfer at any time Carole Mayer and she would have no guarantee that the family could remain in South Africa for the duration of her college education. In an effort to avoid jumping from school to school, Carole decided to make the United States her home with the hope that her mother, dad, and brother might join her before she graduates. She heard about Wilkes from a friend in Bolivia who was applying to colleges throughout the United States at the same time Carole was looking for a school.

He received his master's degree from Yale New Haven Co-operative Plan, and his doctorate in supervision and curriculum from the University of Connecticut, his thesis being "A Study of Free Public Education and Labor Unions - A Parallel in Progress." Besides teaching at Plattsburg Teachers College, N.Y. and Newark Teachers College, he has been a principal, a supervising superintendent, and superintendent of schools in various districts. Irony lent a hand to his career when, as superintendent, he had to interview many Wilkes graduates to fulfill teaching positions in his district. He got to know and like the college so well that he stayed. Concerning the calibre of Wilkes graduates, he said, "They've been simply great as teachers; they've done well in their prospective fields." He played the trombone in high school and has an appreciation of all kinds of music and art. His hobby is collecting coins and stamps. Asked if he believed in Santa Claus, he smiled and gave a succinct, "Sure." He plays the jolly saint annually to his two daughters, five and one-half years old Beth Alison and Margaret Ellen, three and one-half years old. When asked if he had any opinion concerning the controversial honor system, he replied, "I haven't really thought that much about it." An aura of dedication surrounds this unassuming professor, perhaps adding to his appeal in the education department.

World traveling insists on leavits impression. Carole is aware of many contrasts amid the people's she's known. Cited by her were household customs, dating habits, methods of teaching, and the preoccupations of young people. Previous experience, for instance, left her unprepared for the "doit-yourself" system in the United States. Until Carole came to Wilkes she was never without a maid - "they are no luxury in Africa or South America." As a result she found washing clothes and making beds, perplexing, for a time. If you want to run away from somewhere contact Carole. She planned and executed her own escape from a finishing school in Switzerland. Because she found it to be a "complete fraud" she risked government censure to rejoin her parents in South Africa. Carole remarked that "it was just like you read in books . .. " Fondest among her memories are those of Africa. She emphasized the group with which she made friends as being very "interesting" and "intelligent." The boys among them displayed the "best manners" she'd ever encountered. Africa had the sharpest influence on her current interest in art, literature, and especially politics. "Everyone discusses politics in Africa." Naturally enough Carole's major is political science. She plans to specialize in racial politics.

The pertinent question on campus these days seems to be "What happened to the language lab?" In a recent discussion with the ' Beacon' staff Dr. Frijters, of the language department, answered this question by revealing that much work is involved in the preparation of the lab for student use, but that the equipment would probably be ready for use in the fall semester. Explaining that one does not simply acquire a language lab one day and start using it the -n ext, he described the problems, both mechanical and technica1, involved in using a lab effectively. The mechanical problems - involving the instructors becoming familiar with the machinery itself - were rather easily solved, but the technical problems - which include choosing the correct method of using the machinery, then writing drills ,and selecting appropriate books to accompany these drills - are more complex and are still being worked out. To complicate the matter, almost no relevant material is avail- T.D.R.

Dr. Frijters, who is presently intensively engaged in preparing programming material for the project, is enthusiastic about its use as a tool for the teaching of a foreign language.

Soeder Receives Grant For Chemical Research Dr. Robert W. Soeder, assistant professor of chemistry, has been awarded an unrestricted grant in the amount of $2,500 by Research Corporation, New York, announced Dr. Eugene S. Farley, president of the College. Dr. Soeder plans to use the grant to purchase chemicals and equipment for use in a research project now underway. This project is an attempt to synthesize compounds which might have physical properties to be used as tranquilizers.

Thus stated Duane Wilder, cochairman of the Governor's Committee of 100· for Better Education. "Pennsylvania politicians need a good bit of education in this subject because there is no community college program in this state, whereas California has 67 public community colleges with a total enrollment of 325,000," stated Wilder. Texas also has 34 public community colleges for 41,000 students. Illinois has 22; Washington has 112; Oklahoma has 11." According to Wilder, Pennsylvania high schools have indicated that nearly 20,000 students , would take advantage of further education in public communlty colleges every year if these were available. "Only four junior colleges in Pennsylvania approach the definition of a public community college, Hershey, York, Pittsburgh's Point Park, and Robert Morris," he said.

The gift ·that the next graduating class will present to the College has not yet been selected, but the members of the committee in charge of this project will soon be surrounded by suggestions. Next semester, the entire senior class will vote on these various suggestions. The Memorial Fund, which will provide the money for the present, has been utilized to the greatest advantage in previous years. The class of 1959 has made it possible for the students of Wilkes College, as well as any visitors to the College, to see the colorful pennants that decorate the gym. The scoreboard, that displays the scores of all the athletic events at the gym, was donated by the class of 1961. What would the language department be without language lab? The class of 1962 must have considered this question when they contributed equipment for the language laboratory. The school will know in a few short months what . this year's class will present to Wilkes College. �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL Friday, January 11, 1963 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Let It Be Known Letters to the Editor ...

TRES CHIC Cologne Adds to Charm by Maryann Wilson, Cologne or perfume can be an important part of your daily grooming. Most people like to be around someone who is wearing a pleasant fragrance and the user always feels fresher and more glamorous. A fragrance can be worn anytime. For daytime wear a light scented floral bouquet is ideal, and during the evening more exotic scents are intriguing. Putting on a little cologne before beginning a study session in the evening can also give you a mental pickup. A POINT OF DISCUSSION by Dr. Stanko M. Vujica, Department of Philosophy and Religion At the height of the recent Cuban crisis, Premier Khrushchev wrote private letters to two men in the West-President Kennedy and the British philosopher, Lord Russell. I have been asked to comment on Russell's frequent excursions from the ivory tower of mathematical logic into the cold war arena, especially his recent antics in London streets as leader of the Committee of 100 whose slogan is "better Red than dead." First, let me say a few words about Bertrand Russell. He is one of the few seminal thinkers of the twentieth century, undoubtedly the greatest living philosopher and easily the most controversial one. Not since Socrates, who enjoyed playing the dangerous game of antagonizing his contemporaries by exploding their neat little certitudes, has a philosopher been more eager to express unpopular views on popular issues. Like Socrates, " the gadfly" of Athens, Russell seems to relish the self-assumed role of the conscience of the age. And like his Greek counterpart, he has more than once been accused of "denying recognized beliefs" and " corrupting the young." Russell's contributions to philosophy have been many and great. His contributions to the Cold War diplomacy, I fear, have been less fortunate. He urged President Truman to drop atomic bombs on the Soviet Union if it rejected proposals for international control. As late a s 1954, even after the lingering effects of the radioactivity became known, Russell wrote that as much as he deplored -the holocaust of war, he would regard it as a lesser evil than the loss of Western Europe to communism. Today his foreign policy platform is "better Red than dead." What are we to think of this newest twist of Russellian political wisdom? If Russell were addressing himself to individual citizens in, say, China or Hungary his slogan would be a counsel of prudence. If the choice were between either a useless and certain death or submission, only a person with suicidal tendencies or a perverted sense of martyrI dom would choose the former. A sane person prefers living to dying no matter how hard and unpleasant life may be. Surely, bravery does not consist in a willingness to die, but in a willingness to take great risks for a noble cause, including the risk of death if necessary. Russell, however, is not addressing himself to the citizens of the Iron Curtain countries. His slogan "better Red than dead" is intended as a guide for Western policy. What he is saying then is: Better communism than a nuclear war; he urges thaf· the West as the saner party in the conflict should be willing to accept the communization of the world rather than risk the global nuclear war. Thus understood the slogan, I feel, is politically unwise and morally dubious. To reveal to the enemy, in fact shout from the rooftops, our unwillingness to risk nuclear war under any circumstances whatsoever is an open invitation to conquest; to expect any other results is mere childish nursery psychology.

Recently named to "Who's Who Among College Students," she spends her summers working as a camp counsellor and during the school year works at the college library. Bonnie, reflecting on her college life, commented that the most valuable thing she has received from her higher education is "an intelligent critical attitude." Putting this attribute to good use, she comments thus on the current honor system controversy: "I don't think it will work if the stakes are high enough, honor will bow to the need to survive in an academic world.

Tomorrow evening the Colonel cagers will be in Elizabethtown, Pa. to meet the Elizabethtown College five in an MAC contest. Last season the Blue Jays downed the Davismen, 72-67, in a rugged contest. The E-towners are led by Captain John Neely, a 6'6" guard, who sparks their offense with his playmaking. Don Reitmeyer, a 6'7" sophomore, averaged 16 points per game last year and Jim Schichter had a 12.8 average. Both Reitmeyer and Schichter are ~ontinuing their scoring heroics this year. On Wednesday, Jan. 30, the Wilkes dribblers will be at Moravian College to play the Flying Dutchmen. Wilkes succumbed to the potent Dutchmen twice last season by 76-67 and 71-69 scores.

The work is scheduled to be completed by February 15, a date which, by some twist of fate, coincides with that of the TDR Valentine semiformal. Instead of being aimed at the traditional red hearts, Cupid's arrows will be directed towards two large lovebirds, perched midst a setting of soft shades of blue.

They do not serve all the people. Wilder feels that this is a critical gap in the system of public education and that the state is suffering an incalcuable loss of trained intelligence to its economy and culture, a loss that is shared by the entire nation. In discussing the need for a statewide system of community colleges, Wilder said that there are many thousands of high school graduates who don't see the need or purpose of going to college for four years but do see the need for education at a level above high school.

Why not try The Reivers by William Faulkner. It has been acclaimed as a "comic classic" f ull of wild humor, racy language, frantic language, and "some of the most hair-raising and bizarre horse racing in the history of fact or fiction." Mystery fans will find that none other than Bertrand Russell has devoted his Noble Prize winning talents to occupying their reading t ime. His first book of fiction entitled Satan in the Suburbs and Other Stories deals " with saturnine machinations and strange bloodbrotherhoods in the Corsican mounta ins, with secret oaths and macabre schemes to destroy the world, with press lords flouting moral and legal taboos, and vicars forgetting DALON'S FIRESIDE ROOM 248 Wyoming Ave. • Kingston, Pa.

In a little different vein, poetry lovers can spend their time not only restfully but well with Edith Sitwell's Facade and Other Poems, 1920-1935. Considering Dr. Sitwell's early poems as a modern rebirth of poetry, Jack Lindsay in his introductory essay said that "in her work . . . the post-Romantic wound of our culture is understood, probed and healed." These titles and hundreds more are offered to you on the Library's new book shelves - to amuse, instruct, and keep you busy during the coming semester break. Girl Asks Boy to Dance "Sadie Hawkins Day" will again be celebrated from 9 to 12 at the gym tonight by the Interdormitory Council and all the Li'l Abners and Daisy Maes at Wilkes.

Award-Winning Artist Latest Faculty Member by Joe Klaips Illuminated in this week's new faculty spotlight is Philip Richards, most recent faculty addition to the art department. Mr. Richards graduated f Pom Syracuse University with a B.F.A. degree, and prior to his coming to Wilkes was an art instructor at the Dallas Junior High School, in addition to being a member of the teaching staff at the Eberhart Museum in Scranton. The latter position, incidentally, still occupies a portion of his time. Aside from his teaching activities, Mr. Richards also finds time to do a great deal of painting on his own. He has been the recipient of numerous prizes and honors as a r esult of local and r egional competition, and has also won honors in national competition. The American Watercolor Prize, the Windsor Newton Award, and the British-American Watercolor Exhibit Award are just a few of the prizes he has won. Mr. Richards also holds membership in the York County Artists Group in Maine, the American Watercolor Society, and the Ogunquit, Maine, Artists' Society. Maintaining consistency in the artistic field of activity, Mr. Richards has a great interest in the theater.

Graduate students of high calibre who are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in English certainly have many such opportunities from which to choose. General requirements which applicants for National Defense Graduate Fellowships must meet are as follows: 1. At the time a fellow begins study, he must have completed a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent and give promise of doing outstanding graduate work. The comments of Mr. Richards on Wilkes College in general can best be stated in his own words. "In 1933 I was the operator of an art school here in Wilkes-Barre which was located in the gray building next to our gym on Franklin St. It now gives me a great deal of pleasure to instruct students as I had years ago, in almost the same place. I find the art department at Wilkes just wonderful. The students are very anxious to learn, and, as is not the case in other courses, oftentimes the students have so great an interest that they even come to class early. "I wish also to clear up an epidemic pseudoxy which has developed in the art field. Art, or painting as the case may be, is not just merely a case of making a copy of a picture or scene. The students' painting is a personal creation. It is his interpretation of what he sees and not what his instructor sees. If a student realizes this fact, he may be less reluctant to take a course in art. I can assure you that once a student does try painting, he more than likely enjoys it." VUJICA (continued from paee 2) There is no point in arguing about the effects of a nuclear war; its unspeakable horrors can be easily visualized. This makes it imperative that all concerned be willing to go to any length, short of surrender, to prevent it. War has always been a risky and evil business. The only moral justification for even a defensive war is that it is the lesser of the two evils. The number killed in World War II has been estimated over twenty-five million. Yet, would anyone be willing to say that the Allies should have submitted to Hitler rather than risk the horrors of that war? It, of course, is painfully true that the principle of national sovereignties has long become obsolete and that some form of World Government is the most urgent need of our time. But until that consummation devoutly to be wished is achieved, the right to self-defense cannot be denied to nations without leaving the gates wide open to international gangsterism. Indeed, the conviction that we have that right coupled with the willingness to exercise it and the determination to make the risks too great to the enemy is our only hope for survival. Perhaps the worst part of Russell's so-called policy is its utter emotionalism and loss of nerve. It is based on fear, "nameless, unreasoning, terror which paralyzes needed effort", to quote a famous American president. Russell's is also a counsel of despair. Paradoxically, those in the West who rely on military strength and the willingness to fight if need be have a more optimistic and charitable opinion of their enemy than the prophets of surrender. Those who shout in street demonstrations "better Red than dead" have assumed that the Communists lack not only sanity but even the basic human instinct of self-preservation. But the Communists can hardly be as inhuman as all that. They are as aware of the dangers of the nuclear war as we are and as afraid of dying. Someone has said that the only faith we should have in the Communists is the faith in their desire for survival. Our · whole cold war policy is largely predicated on that faith. Let me, in conclusion, quote Spinoza, one of the gentlest and noblest human beings that ever lived: "A free man thinks of nothing less than death; and his wisdom is a meditation not of death, but of life."

The problem for the administration arose out of the student defense loan program. As a result of the rising tuition cost, greater demands were made by the students for the defense loans. The administration, desiring to fulfill the needs of the students last fall, was as generous as possible when granting the loans, and subsequently as we enter the spring semester, there is much less of the allocated fund remaining to be distributed to the students than there should be, had the fund been divided equally between the fall and spring semesters. After very careful deliberation, the administration came up with the following plan to solve the existing problem. Since the remains of the f und would not be Local Talent to Compete For Piano Scholarship Mr. Robert Lovett, music department chairman, has announced that auditions for the Carpenter Foundation Piano Scholarship will be held in Gies Hall on Saturday, Feb. 9. The Carpenter Family Fund has been set up in order to encourage artistic activity in Luzerne County. Competition is open to 10th, 11th, and 12th grade student pianists of all county schools. The winner, who will be selected by the faculty members of the College Music Department, will be awarded a $200 scholarship for further study in any college or conservatory of like grade. The scholarship winner will appear at the 15th annual Carpenter Memorial Concert. The concert will be held on Monday evening, March 11, in the First Methodist Church, North Franklin Street. enough to cover the demands of all the students, there would have to be a cut in the allocation of this fund somewhere. Either there would have to be discrimination a s to who received the loan and who did not, or there would have to be a uniform cut of all loans. Because the latter alternative seemed the most fair, it was accepted by the administration, and a uniform cut of 5 per cent was made in the j loans to. all upperclassmen. It was felt that since the freshmen had undergone a great deal of careful pre-college counciling and planning, it would be unfair to cut their loans this year. In order to prevent a similar situation in the future, and to cope with the ever-increasing demands upon the loan. service, the administration plans to grant loans only after the applications have been carefully analyzed. Any requests for loans which are not entirely necessary will be refused. The College also plans to lower the $500 maximum _set by the f~deral government which may be given to a student in one year.

In 1961, IDC decided it would "adopt" a war "orphan" and after negotiating with Save The Children Federation, Incorporated, a worldwide organization working toward this end, Zoes became the protege of the council. The MaVI·ommatis family numbers four with Zoes' parents, Orpheus and Styliana, and his sister, Demetra. Before World War II, families in Europe - even poor ones - managed to eke out a living and get by with the bare necessities. Post World War II years were another story. Privations and hardships were added to by a Communist uprising. Factories were closing and personnel were being laid off. In these straited financial circumstances, the young MaVI·ommatis couple managed to raise their small family, although they ' placed a strain on an already insufficient budget. But then, shortly after Zoes' bilth, his father developed tuberculosis. His mother later fell ill, and the paternal grandmother joined the family to keep house.

N~ longer _is it considered sensible for one to do anything even slightly discomforting. If work bores you, go on relief. If your parents expect you to obey or even - perish the thought - to work around the house, run away. If studies require study, quit school. Do nothing unless it makes you happy. (Happiness is here equated with comfort.) The "escape trend" has become quite popular during the past fifteen years. What better way is there to make the headlines than by taking an overdose of, by leaping from a, or by slashing one's. What greater thrill is there than hearing a classmate say of you, "Isn't he brave? Just a week before graduation he decided studies were a drag so he quit school. I wish I had such courage." But one wonders whether it is easier to die or to go on living. Are those more courageous who abandon a project rather than persevere till its completion? The answer lies in the area of values. If immediate satisfaction be considered more important. then the quitters are the winners. And if this trend of escape continues, we will have a world filled with successful people - immediately successful, that is. At once they will achieve success by suicide, either suicide of body, of soul, or of spirit. The world will be successful and dead, simultaneously.

Friday, February 8, 1963 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I would like to thank the Associated Women Students, the Public Relations Office, the Wilkes Chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and the Student overnment for making this year's Winter Carnival an exceptionally enjoyable one for me. I sincerely appreciate the work done by these organizations in making the day one I'll never forget. Sincerely, Gail Roberts " • • • Warm Your Trumpet, Gabe!" Dear Editor, Once upon a campus certain of the students, for a number of reasons, decided to establish on campus what was termed an HONOR SYSTEM. The students who desired to introduce the HONOR SYSTEM were, of course, perfectly honest themselves but they belived that some other students were using a number of ingenious devices to increase their (the other students') grades. Cases of the use of such devices had apparently been observed by certain students but no one had seen fit to deal with the devicers (the other students). Thus certain students believed that if an HONOR SYSTEM were to be established on campus, cases of devicing would disappear and any Dear Editor: which refused to disappear could be dealt with since no one The success of this year's Win- could withstand the social pressure exerted by the HONOR ter Carnival was accomplished only SYSTEM. through the time and efforts of Now it so happend that on campus the subject of an honor many people.

Devoles Energies lo Yearbook, Music For Annual Valentt~e Al Annual Pocono Winier Carnival Dance at Gym on Fnday 1----- -----· "F ,, M t WARM Planning for the future has become an integral part of Elaine R. Collier's spare time. As Editor-inchief of the Amnicola, Elaine devotes most of her energy to the preparation and design of the annual yearbook, which q·u i ck I y erases away any unpleasant memories of a long and hectic academic year. Elaine has spent the last three years planning for that day in Ma y when the yearbook at last makes its long-awaited appearance. One can see that her untiring efforts as Assistant Editor last year did not go unrewarded, as she ultimately rose to the top position on the staff. Elaine's time last year was also spent in planning her marriage to Harry Collier, a graduate of Wilkes who last year served a s head of the Amnicola while Elaine held her position a s Assistant Editor. A Dean's List student, Mrs. Colli er takes an active interest in music as well. She is a member of the Madrigal Singers, WC Chorus, and serves a s organist for the Plymouth Presbyterian Church. A current member of T'DR, she has served as past secretary of the C.C.U.N. Beside participation in all the above-mentioned activities, Elaine also manages to work at the Alumni Office on occasion during the school year as well as during the summer months. When asked about what improvements she would like to see at this college, Elaine commented, "There could be more parking lots. I'm very disgusted about the situation. And as for the honor system, I don't think it's a good idea and is an idealistic rather than realistic system. After all, an atmosphere of cheating is found in life, business, in anything." The Amnicola editor finds her t as k a · rewarding one, although it may be discouraging at times. "There's a lot more work than appears on the surface," she said. However, people just don't believe that." She asks for the co-operation of the student body during the oncoming weeks, especially that of the underclassmen. The T.D.R. Semi-Formal, "ParaMajoring in psychology (she has also earned an unofficial major in dise for Lovebirds," will be held in French), Elaine now resides with the gym from 9 to 12 p.m. on Febher parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray- ruary 15 and is open to everyone on campus. In accordance with the theme, the gym will be decorated with wishing wells and birds. Any couple desiring r emembrance of the dance may have their picture taken on "the bridge" for one dolJar. The highlight of the evening will be the selection of a queen from T.D.R. members present. Tickets are three dollars a couple. Music will be furnished for dancing by Donlin's Pennsylvanians, and refreshments will be served all during the dance. Barbara Piledggi, president of T.D.R. announced the following committees: Rowena Simms, general chairman; Janie Farr, publicity; Lorraine Dyers and Rachel Phillips, table decorations ; Mary Frances Barone, favors; Erin McCormack, co-ordinator; Janie Woolbert and Janet Ainsworth, ceiling Elaine Collier mond Adams, at 108 Academy Street, Plymouth, while her husband Harry works with the Internal Revenue Bureau in Philadelphia. However, after the 1963 yearbook makes the scene on campus, Elaine Adams Collier will not cease to plan. She will then be preoccupied with plans for a happy home life with her husband in Philadelphia. LAZARUS Watch and Shaver Repair 57 S. Main St. Wilkes.Barre, Pa.

Activities began early in the morning and proceeded continuously until late in the evening. The highlight of the day's events was the crowning of Gail Roberts a s the first Snowflake Princess. Students enjoyed the privilege of the skating rink and the sledding and skiing slopes as well. Cold weather with ideal snow conditions · made all these a ctivities ver y desirable. As the evening approached, the students were able to relax at the main Inn, in order to conserve some energy for the dance to be held in Convention Hall beginning at 7 p.m. Music for dancing was provided by the Rhythm Aces, and intermission entertainment by the guitars of John B.

Another 'Parents' Day' Included in Calendar; Group Plans Agenda "Parents' Day" has been officially added to the fall social calendar. The date for the event is Saturday, October 5, 1963. Although the day of the affair is approximately eight months away, last night a group of eighteen underclassmen met with Arthur Hoover, administrative assistant to the President, who is in charge of the arrangements. At the meeting, the planning committee examined the Parents' Day programs from other colleges and universities. After making a study of their ideas, the students discussed the possibilities for the program of the October affair. Among the topics which were mentioned were a luncheon, a reception following the Moravian College football game occurring on Saturday afternoon, a dramatic group presentation, and lectures of general and contemporary interest. The agenda for the day is going to be varied in order to accommodate the '{~e range of interests of the parents. The group intends to have the program set up in its entirety before the end of the spring semester. The fall date of the Parents' Day will not eliminate the annual spring affair which is coordinated with the band concert. The one day affair may develop at a future date into a weekend for parents. -------------- 'Focus' Panel to Discuss 'Dilemma Called DeGaulle' The time of the "Focus" Program which was to air on WNAK Sundays at 9 p.m. has been changed and will now be heard on WARM Sundays at 11 p.m., according to Livingston Clewell, Public Relations Director. The subject of this week's program will be "The Dilemma Called DeGaulle." Panelists include Kathy DeAngelis, Bernard Cohen, Thomas Halstead, and Marshall ' Brooks. Gordon Roberts, executive alumni secretary, will be at the helm of the discussion. Future topics which the panelists will discuss are "Wilkes-Barre and Scranton - Cooperation in a Dynamic Future" and "The Pennsylvania State Constitution - Bring It Up To Date." Debators 'Remarkable' In First Varsity Year, Comment Their Coaches In its first year of varsity competition the College debating team, according to its coaches Mr. Dirk Budd and Miss Charlotte Lord, obtained "remarkable" results. On the topic "Resolved that the Non-Communist nations of the world should form an economic community," four of the College's freshman debators recently' placed fifth in competition with twentynine teams representing several colleges and universities of the, East. Taking the affirmative side of the question were Douglas Kistler and David Levy. Of the five rounds in which they participated, they were victorious in three.

Early in the year "one who knew" suggested that the yearbook not have a section of individual underclassmen pictures. Of course this ghastly idea was vetoed by kind souls who felt that underclassmen need recogn_ition. Phooey! As of this week exactly thirty-five underclassmen. from about one thousand, had individual photos taken. Granted the yearbook's office is not the most glamorous sight on campus. But the yearbook must be. Underclassmen should have swallowed their pride, entered Chase basement, and smiled for the photographer. One wonders what the yearbook will do with its unaerclassmen section - run a series of blank pages, or simply put all thirty-five photos on one page entitlea "miscellaneous"? It's too late for underclassmen to pose individually; but group photos of clubs and organizations will be taken during the next two weeks. May the JUnnicola receive a little more cooperation! G.M.Z. Machines - Fun Spoilers One of . our great campus traditions - registration confusion - will disappear from our College scene as mechanization once again triwnphs. No longer will students have the privilege of shuftling classes so that they do not interfere with recreation. No longer wiil they be able to stymie advisors by concocting impossi.ole class schedules. IBM machines rule again. Of course the administration office realizes that the new machines are not infallible. Until they are perfected they may still cause minor confusion in class arrangements. So perhaps fall registration may not be perfect. There may be yet a little fun len for those adventuresome class maneuverers. Mechanized registration, though, may be considered favorably. Hours spent by both faculty and students in the gymnasium has been at times trying. lliM will eliminate the unfortunate need for postponing or for dropping those desirable classes which simply could not fit into scheaules. G.M.Z. Campus Apathy Shaken? Has the apathy of the students of the College finally been shaken, or is it merely the few interested students who respond whenever there is a controversial subject on campus? During the past few weeks there has been a rise in the number of Letters to the Editor. It has been heartening to note that the content of the letters reveals that some students do think and do have opinions. The letters contain more than the usually gushy thank yous that can be done personally. Although the content has been good and it is a credit to those who write the letters, it is at the same time a fact that these writers are very seldom mere spectators but active participants. The apathetic students are usually unwilling to even think and formulate an opinion about any subject, controversial or not. The inertness of these individuals is overwhelming. It is time for the indifferent on campus to take note of the issues and to get rid of their apathy. Think and voice your opinion. All signed letters to the editor are welcome, and if desired, names will be held upon request. M.F.B. Whal - Where - When TDR Semi-Formal - Gym, Tonight, 9-12. Lycoming Weekend - Lycoming, Saturday.

Olsen Schroeder Gail Roberts A Priori Adam vs. The Honor System �Friday, February 15, 1963 Linguist Discusses Language Lab Editor's Note :-Speculation concerning the new language laboratory, which was the gift of last year's graduates, has prompted investigation by the BEACON. In the following article Dr. Cees Frijters disspells some popular misconceptions concerning the use of a language laboratory. THE OBVIOUS ADVANTAGE of a language laboratory is the much more active and effective participation of the individual student in the learning process. Thi s is at the same time, apart from any competitive motives, the only reason for installing a language lab, and we are grateful to the students who helped to solve the initial budgetary problems. The teacher's voice reaches the student's ear directly, and without any distracting noises in the classroom and from the outside world. The student, sitting in a small, fenced-off area, headphones on, can not be distracted. He is all ear. Language is a means of communication, and thus learning a language requires not only practice of the ear, but also practice of the vocal organs. A language lab provides for this too, because speaking into a microphone, the student can hear his own voice when trying to repeat what he heard or when answering questions. He can compare his own pronunciation with the instructor's voice. He will not hear the mistakes of others. He is freed from the fear of embarrassment and ridicule. The teacher can communicate with him individually and can help him. Because of thi s direct contact with the sound source, because of the forced concentration, and because of the self-controlled speech practice, a language lab surpasses any other type of language teaching. THE DISADVANTAGES of a language 1 ab are obvious too. There is a human side to the animals that we are. The contact with the foreign language that the lab offers is a more or less unnatural one. Speaking is communicating, and gestures and facial expressions may not be essential; they play, however, an integral part in the communication process. It may be true that when listeni;11g to the radio and speaking over the telephone, we are content with the same minimum contact, but nevertheless the contact between teacher and student in class is richer and more natural. Another disadvantage is the "immobility" of such a perpetuum mobile as a tape is. The student, caught up in the constant motion of that t each ing wheel, may feel the strain of the monotony of the drills. Textbooks may tie our hands also, leaving hardly room for any sidetrips, but students feel traditional instruction to be more f lexible than continuously demanding mastertape. PROBLEMS Because of the disadvantages just mentioned and because of the fact that we are tied to our handbooks, a language lab is very often considered by many language teachers to be no more than a useful complement to regular classroom instruction. In elementai-y classes students can listen to a record, preferably a song with clear and simple lyrics which can be repeated by a native speaker of the foreign language and then repeated by the students sentence by sentence. In the more advanced classes they can listen to choirs with orchestras, to operas and plays. Since the purpose here is to get to know at the same time the culture of the country of which they are learning the language, such a record might also be played in a regular classroom, because the direct contact between sound source and ear is not necessary and the human contact is more desirable. A dictation may be given, eventually for exam or test purposes. One can record and play back a text which is being read in the classroom; many readers today are provided with tapes for this purpose. We can have the students 3 WILKF.S COLLF.GE BEACON what in my opinion we could do and what we should try. It is a personal opinion which as far as method is concerned, is fairly :w_e ll worked out, and which is shared in principle by many authorities in tht field of programmed learning; but nothing of the kind of instruction I am planning has been published so far. To me it is a logical line of thought; to many readers it may be a beautiful daydream or a nightmare. Before explaining my method, I would like to go over a few terms that hang very much in the air these days. What do we mean by programmed learning · Programmed learning is a method applying self-instructional devices which provide the learner with a sequence of problems that I_ oN rHe BANDSTAND with Hal Kistler A major source of inspiration to the struggling young jazz musicians of today is the story of the Paul Winter Sextet. Comprised of six young college students from the Chicago area, the group has already made its mark in the world of jazz. In May, 1961, under the capable leadership of alto saxophonist Paul Winter, the group won the Intercollegiate Jazz Festival at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. As a result they were signed by Columbia and have two records on the market and another on the way. Then in February, 1962, after a little convincing by Winter, the State Department sent them on a twenty-three week tour of Latin America as part of the department cultural exchange program. They did an outstandingly fine job of promoting good will and gained nationwide recognition in this country. In December of last year, they became the first jazz group to play a concert at the White House. The program was one of a series of 1\irs. Kennedy's musical programs for young people. , One of the most interesting 1 things about the group is the fact that only two of them, the bassist and drummer, are music students. Pianist Warren Bernhart has a degree in organic chemistry, Dick Whitsell, trumpet, has a degree in speech, baritone saxophonist Richard Evans is working on his doctor's degree in history and Winter himself is an English major. The future looks bright for the group and its members. Here's hoping that we hear a lot more of them. require some action on the part of the student at every step of the program, and which take him from a low to a high level of proficiency in a given subject matter; the self-instructional device must also provide immediate confirmation about the correctness of the learner's effort. It will be clear that a language lab is one thing and programmed learning is another thing. But a language lab could be used for programmed learning. We program computors by storing a set of instructions. The machine then performs the miracle: an output which goes far beyond the input. In the language lab there is also an input. However, the output is no more than a distribution of the input over, for example, 25 booths. lf the input is a song, then the result is no more than the same song heard in 25 booths. The term "programmed learning" can hardly be applied. It is different when students are exposed to carefully prepared drills, put on tape, adapted to the level of grammar covered.. But thinking about the term " programmed Pie-eating, log-sawing and free learning" and about mechanization in general, one comes to the conclusion that in education we stand only at the beginning of a rapidly cherry pie will be featured at the expanding process.

I The linguist covers only part of the area of language instruction, I but he covers exactly that pa1t of the language that presents itself as an organized system and that, therefore, lends itself to "mechanization." Thus a language lab, used as a self-instructional device, by MiMi Wilson belongs first of all in the domain of the linguist.

Drills which are similar to those for normal classroom use can be put on tape. Using the language lab for the above purposes usually requires an additional hour, because the textbooks to be covered do not allow time for this. Newly published textbooks usually come with a set of tapes, which include dialogues, drill patterns, pronunciation drills etc. These textbooks are written with the language lab in mind. Since not every school has access to a language lab, the publishers stress the point that the books can very well be used without using the tapes. However, once one decides to use a modern textbook, one also wants all the audio-lingual advantages it provides. These tapes do not exclude the · other useful and more enjoyable applications of the lab mentioned above, which make an additional hour still desirable. If one is restricted to three class hours, the lab will usually stay empty, or the "speed" factor will affect the quality of our teaching more than it does already. NEW AND OLD But we do have a language lab. What are we going to do with it? That question cannot be definitely answered as of yet. We are in a stage of experimentation. In any case, we can always introduce a new textbook that comes with tapes.

Last year the Vikings counted Wilkes among its seven victories. This year Wiebolt has only four men back from last season, but a highly talented group of freshmen have been doing a great deal of the varsity work. Although not an exceptionally tall t eam, the Vikings have all-around rebounding strength as all of their starters are around 6'2". Following the Upsala contest the cagers go to Trenton to be guests of coach Bob Greenwood's Roughriders of Rider College. Last season the Rid ers edged the Wilkesmen, 67-64. The Roughriders are currently enjoying a successful season in Greenwood's first year a s head coach. Probable starters for Rider are 6-0 Mike Brown, 6-1 Bob Barret, 6-1 Doug Endres, 6-4 Dick Phelps, and 6-8 Randy Getchis or 6-8 Bill Van Druten. Returning home on Thursda y, the Wilkesmen will host the Hofstra College quintet in another MAC contest. In last year's game with Wilkes the Dutchmen rolled over Wilkes, 83-50, but this year's squad is depleted of all but four of its lettermen. Then only senior on t he roster, Lew Freifeld is the t eam playmaker and floor leader. Other members of the starting five will probably be 6-2 Ron Alfiere, 6-0 Howie Black, 6-4 Jim Boatwright, and 6-5 Stuart Krosser. Colonels Drop 13th Last Saturday the Wilkes dribblers lost their thirteenth decision of the season as they were completely dominated by Wagner College, 116-67, in a contest played on Long Island. The Davismen were never in the game as the Wagner five roared off to an early lead and maintained the wide m a r g i n throughout° the contest. Huvey Rosen and Bob Fleming each contributed 20 points to the losing cause while big Fred Klittich led the Seahawks with 21 markers.

Lycoming got off to an early lead and Wilkes never got close. In general, the game was pJayed without regard for the finer skills of basketball and at times resembled a soccer match. Wilkes had the amazing total of 16 personal fouls called on them in the first half and Lycoming wound up shooting 45 free throws.

Time Out! by JIM JACKIEWICZ, Sports Editor WILKES BASKETBALL REVISITED It is needless to point out that the Wilkes College basketball team is mired in the wilderness of another losing season. This fact, in itself, would not seem so distasteful to one who is unfamiliar with the fortunes of our beloved Colonels, but one who is acquainted with the present basketball setup at the College is aware of the sorry situation that has developed. Most college basketball teams tend to improve their performances as tne season moves along. With ·•coach" Davis' dribblers the reverse is true. Lately the Colonels have gotten progressively worse. In the three contests preceding this writmg, the Wilicesmen were drubbed by Scranton, Susquehanna, and Wagner to scores of 103-75, 100-5'7, and 116-67 respectively. We admit that these three teams are fine basketball aggregations. The question then arises, Why isn't Wilkes a good team? There are a number of reasons. First, the players on the squad are not on the same plane with many, if not most, of those on the teams that Wilkes finds on its schedule. This may readily discerned simply by watching any game. The players on opposing squads are more proficient in the basketball skills than are the Colonels. Second, we believe that the present coaching regime is inadequate. The team may be observed making repeated mistakes which should have been remedied in high school. The Wilkes coaching staff has not remedied these errors. Coach Davis, who is employed by the Sordoni Construction Company, is at work until live o'clock each day. This causes a rather ridiculous situation because basketball practice begins at four. Thus a precedent has been set in the annals of the hardwood sport. Wilkes has one coach for practice and one coach for games. Another cause of the failure of the Colonels is the support, or lack of support, on the part of the administration. Other college with which Wilkes competes in athletic contests offer lucrative scholarships to athletes and are able to attract superior players. As long as academic standards are met by these athletes, there are no apparent evils in this practice. it is time for everyone to realize that the basketball system is accomplishing little m o r e t h a n serving as a source of embarassment for the College. If we are to place a team in intercollegiate competition, why not field one that is not an object of widespread ridicule. The final problem the cagers have encountered has been the 1 o s s of personnel. Recently, a number of players have gone into retirement for various reasons. Among these are both centers Steve Gerko and Pete Kundra. Starting center for the Colonels presently is 6-2 freshman Jim Vidunas. In order for Wilkes College basketball to regain a posision of respectability, radical changes must be made. Better coaching and attraction of players are the two areas which must undergo this change. ... For Your School Supplies Lettered WILKES JACKETS . LEWIS - DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER 11 E.

Arguing for the affirmative were Arts m~jor Dave Levy and Commerce and Finance major Doug Kistler . In three out of five cases Dave and Doug outargued their competition. Dave was commended in his r ebuttal by one of the judges and was only three points · shy of receiving a trophy. Taking the negative side of the topic were Rosemary Rush, major in Medical Technology, and Secondary Education major Jim Tredinnick. The popular opinion among men about the pointless arguing of women may have been somewhat discredited by the fact that the negatives, which was onehalf female, came out on top in four out of five cases. At any rate, Rosemary and Jim both are deserving of mention for this fine showing. Over all, the team is to be congratulated. Comment by the judges was that the team's strategy was not quite up to par. One judge mentioned that the team let up when it should have pressed a point. Congratulations also to Miss Lord and Mr. Budd, who coached the team. To further praise the debators, the Beacon feels the team deserves honor as " Athlete of the Week."

Written by John Osborne, one of the writers of the school of "angry young men," the play will be presented in Chase Theatre March 20, 21, 22, and 23. Curtain time is 8:30, and the play will run approximately two hours. Look Back in Anger concerns itself with the loss of values in the twentieth century. It is the story of a conflict between James Porter and his wife, Allison. Fendrick has described it as "the futility of any strong attempt to overthrow the apathy of our age." The cast includes Sieglinde Val-~---,------- - - - - - lot, Sumner Hayward, Ruth Friedlander, and Martin Brennan. Fendrick has also announced that there is a part which has not yet been cast, that of Col. Redferm, who is an older man and an ex-colonial Mademoiselle has announced the officer.

The foot path and wishing well were used by many couples as background for souvenir photographs.

FOR HAMPTON TRIP WILKES COLLEGE Vol XXVII, No. 16 REGISTER NOW Forum Offers Variety Of Topics; Open to All Every Tuesday Evening A philosophical discussion by Mary Ruth Kleingennah will be the featured topic at this Tuesday's Forum. Originally planned as an interest group for English majors, the group has expanded and is now open to everyone on campus. The topics, which cover a wide range, are of the student speakers' own choice and therefore are of general interest to the typical college student. Topics thus far this semester have ranged from symbolism to modern dancing. Joseph Aulisi, as the first speaker for the second semester, discussed "Symbolism in Moby Dick," showing how the white whale represented evil, as well as its significance and various relationships to Captain Ahab, Ishmael, and other characters in the novel. A new tempo was introduced at a later meeting when Jody Morrison spoke about "Modern Dance." Miss Morrison explained various techniques of modern dancing and showed several ways in which this informal type of dance differs from other forms. Last Tuesday the atmosphere returned to one of a more serious nature when Barbara Smith discussed progressive education. Her speech exposed some newer theories of education, showing advantages and disadavantages of both old and new teaching systems. Mr. Stanley Gutin, moderator, has announced that the forum metings are held in McClintock Hall every Tusday a 7 :30 p.m., and stressed that all are welcome to sit in on the lectures and critical analyses. Reservations Accepted As IDC Plans Hampton Trip Maryann Wilson She, as well as other members across the nation, was selected on the basis of entries that showed her interest and ability in one of the fields comprising the annual Board competition - art, writing, fashion, merchandising, promotion, or advertising. In an annual exchange program with Hampton Institute, the College will send a car caravan to Virginia in approximately two weeks. From a list of students desiring to make the trip a committee will select those who will spend the weekend on Hampton's campus. IDC, who sponsors the exchange program, has placed a sheet on the Commons bulletin board whereon those wishing to travel to Hampton may sign. After the signature they must state whether or not they are willing to drive. Selecting the representatives will be a committee of six: Dean Ralston, Dean Ahlborn, Mr. Elliot, Boyd Aebli, James Walters, and Karen Graham.

Future of 'Twin Cities' To Be Assessed by Panel FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1963 Open Seminars Encourage Discussion On Honor Code; Outline Presented The tenets of the Honor Code were discussed at a seminar which was held last Tuesday evening in the Commons. Students expressed opinions both for and against the establishment of honorable conduct on campus. The Honor Code Committee, which is composed of students who have initiated the idea of such a system on campus and those who are not in favor of the code, presented a tentative outline for the system. Revisions of the code were proposed by the members attending the seminar. All suggestions were considered and discussed. Ideas were brought forth that had been developed in other colleges - - - - - - - - - -- -- - and universities. Basic philosophy Scranton Ballet Guild Gives Varied Program A variety of dance styles and moods were presented to the student body by the Scranton Ballet Guild during yesterday's assembly program. In addition, William Barbini, accompanied by Thomas Hrynkiw, entertained with several violin solos. The Scranton Ballet Guild is a non-profit civic organization composed of residents of the city, which has as its goals the elevating of artistic standards in the city and giving young talented dancers a chance .to learn and perform. Most of the members are students who have given up their spare time to study the dance under Alexi Ramov. Alexi Ramov, artistic director, who was an early member of Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, is also known throughout the country as a "promoter of the arts." He is one of the originators of the Northeastern Regional Ballet Festival Association and at the present time serves on the board of directors. . William Barbini, solo violinist with the guild, is a sophomore at Central High School. He has won both divisional and state competitions. At the present time, he is a member of both the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Societies. The program included excerpts from Chopin, Bach and Gershwin. Musicians Vie for Prizes Lycoming College will sponsor an Intercollegiate Musical Competition on May 9 and 10, at Brandon Park in Williamsport. Any student jazz, rock and roll, or vocal group whose members are presently enrolled in a college or university and are taking a minimum of three credit hours, may apply. Groups using members which have been graduated within the past year will be permitted. Judges will include representatives of Capitol Records, Inc., Penn World Attractions, and several others to be announced at a later date. Prizes will consist of $950 in cash, trophies, and other noncash items, including a $500 Grand Prize. This competition provides the opportunity for a college group to become recognized. Applications and information may be obtained from the director of student activities or by writing to IMC, Box 35, Lycoming . College, Williamsport. More detailed information is also available at the Beacon office. Deadline for application will be March 15, 1963. GUITARIST TO BE FEATURED The Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra will present a program of music on Monday, February 25 at the Irem Temple. Featured will be Renata Tarrago, guitarist from Spain. The concert will begin at 8:30 p.m. as well as concrete and specific factors were investigated. The participants in the seminar presented their own views of the topic. The purpose of the seminars at the present time is to bring forth all ideas and provide an opportunity for the student body to formulate .their opinions concerning the establishment of the Honor Code at the College. The discussion is open to all parties. The Committee is making arrangements for other seminars to be held in the near future. Art Club Sponsors Trip To Visit DaVinci Painting After having enchanted millions of Europeans in the past several centuries, the famous lady has now brought her enigmatic smile to a world virtually unknown when she was born. She will attract another coterie · of admirers when a group of students from the College journeys to New York on Saturday, March 2, to visit "Mona Lisa" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Although the Art Club is sponsoring the trip, any student is welcome. Students will be on their own as soon as they reach New York so that those who prefer to do so may go Easter shopping instead of viewing the Museum's art treasures. The bus will leave Wilkes-Barre at 6 a.m. and begin its return from "The City" at midnight. Fee for the entire trip is $5.00, which must be paid by next Wednesday. Anyone desiring to go should sign up on the bulletin board in Conyngham Annex. A deposit fee of a dollar is required in advance. Masked Marvel returns to gorge himself at Cherry Tree Chop.

Richard Wright, whose works read like an anthology of the American Negro, finds all the hates, fears, and hopes of his people in Bigger Thomas, the protagonist of Native Son. Bigger lives in the miserable colored section of Chicago around the early thirties. It is not by accident that the author shared the same circumstances. Bigger's attitudes toward white people are characteristic of the downtrodden Negro. He is so depressed by his environment, that he feels he will soon be driven to kill. His initiation into white society and the realization of this obsession all add up to his self. destruction, which is helpless to avert. The structure of the novel is in three parts: Fear, Flight, and Fate. In this way the plot moves swiftly to its climax. Violent dialogue and action hold the reader's interest to the end. Native Son is a social document of high value. If you ever followed Huck Finn down the river, or walked with Holden Caulfield through his madcap episode in New York you will be equally moved by Bigger Thomas' tragic adventure in search of life.

Zaboronski TARAS BULBA or (POLISH HAM) One of the latest gems of cinematography to grace the screen of the Comerford Theater in WilkesBarre has been "Taras Bulba," starring Yul Brynner and a cast of thousands plus a few people (mostly A1·gentine soldiers). Actually the Argentine soldiers were supposed to be Cossacks, but they more resembled a bunch of Mexicans brandishing long swords which they used mostly for flashing in the sun. Anyway they drank vodka instead of tequila. The lead role, that of old Taras Bulba himself, was played by old Yul Brynner himself. He did a rather unconvincing portrayal of the Cossack leader, as he spent most of the film footage strutting about with his hands on his hips, drinking vodka, saying profound things, and throwing Tony Curtis in the family well (in that order). Taras would have been better played by a more earthy actor such as Jackie Gleason or Johnny Mack Brown. Brynner also looked like a Mexican. So did all the Polish soldiers. In fact the only one in the picture who didn't look like a Mexican was good old Tony Curtis who looked like a football player. Curtis, who played one of old Taras' sons, absorbed an unbelievable amount of physical violence throughout the picture. First he was pummelled by old Taras and lobbed into a well (all in fun mind you). Then, he was beaten on several assorted occasions by the head of the Gestapo in a religious school. After receiving a sword wound and returning home, he is pummelled by old Taras and lobbed into the old well. (As you might guess, these Cossacks were extremely playful). Next, disguised as a cow (honest!), Tony slips into a Polish town to rescue Christine Kaufman, who spoke one of her four lines at this time. Unfortunately, poor Tony is captured by the Poles, pummelled, and lobbed into jail. Finally old Tony is shot by old Taras, (all in fun) for cattle-rustling. Miss · Kaufmann's performance lacked a great deal to be sure. She performs with the emotion of a fire hydrant and an equal amount fire hydrant and the creativity of a broom stick. The plot is built around a st1·uggle between the Cossacks and the Polish government for the land known as the Russian Steppes. (The movie was filmed in a dust bowl between two ridges of the Andes in Argentina). The Cossacks are the good guys and the Poles are the baddies. It's easy to tell the two opposing forces apart beca use the Poles wear slick blue uniforms and the Cossacks wear zipout linings from old overcoats. High point in the movie is a rousing party thrown by old Taras to celebrate something or other and to drink vodka. This scene might be one of the loudest, wildest bashes on film. Of special interest at the party is a woman prancing about with a large python or some such other constrictor around her neck, and a bear-pit (complete with a bear) in the middle of the floor. Tony Curtis, of course, almost falls in the pit (all in fun). In general, the picture is not worth the admission price. One can see more action in the last rows of the balcony than on the screen. The entire movie is simply unconvincing. Dress Fashions Vary; Sk1·nny Look Featured by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG College Board Mem The trim and tailored look is in vogue for the woman who wants to be fashion right this spring, say leading designers across the country. Designer Monte-Sano's two piece dress shows an unsleeved, hiplength middy blouse over a sheath skirt slightly gathered at the waist. Nat Kaplan's creation called the Rajah dress is cut along princess lines. It is sleeveless and single or double breasted as you like it. The Skimmer by Townley is a more shapely version of the shift dress which features a bateau neckline and A-shaped skirt. Larry Aldrich has given his suits a tunic effect. His jackets are almost long enough to be coats and ease into slim skirts. His dress story shows a tunic oveblouse which has the new shirt sleeve over a slim skirt. Pauline Trigere has designed her suit jackets to fall just a little below the hips. In coat-dress ensembles the fashion keynote is contrast in texture. The dress may be of silk, the coat of fluffy mohair. The Rajah coat and the bathrobe coat are two i n t e r e s t i n g silhouettes in spring coats. Italian designer Veneziani revealed reversible coats at his spring showing. Red-orange reverses to bright yellow and peach turns to violet. Many of his coats are styled with the kimono sleeve. The shape to be in this spring. Designers call it the skinny look. Shoulders are sloped, chest is small, waistline is high or belted low. The right skirt length is just below the kneecap but skirts are slowly inching over the knees. �Friday. February 22, 1963 WILKF.S COLLF.GE BEACON· 3 Letters to the Editor Honor Code Stimulates Discussion Name Withheld Returns Dear Editor: The following is from a Wilkes College Brief entitled The Human Mirror which appeared in June of 1949. " Some people, trusting only themselves and mistrusting their neighbor, will not agree that control of self is the answer to all problems. They are so sure of their own rightness that they mistrust the rightness of their neighbor. Such people believe that the g reat problem of our time is not the control of one's self, but control of one's neighbor. Unconsciously or consciously they have set themselves above their neighbors. They have failed to learn the simplest lesson in human relat ions - that our neighbors mirror our own spirit." Letters to the editor from proponents of an honor system have been not only unfriendly toward the faculty but have assumed that the faculty have nothing to say about how their examinations s hould be conducted. Any system to work must include all the neighbors, both faculty and students. Name Withheld Again Will Honor Destroy the Individual? 0 Ye of Little Faith Dear Editor : If the Honor Code is accepted or rejected at Wilkes it has at least served one function: it has been an ideal put in the limelight where studeqts may actively voice their own opinions, pen them out to the Beacon, or do both. Once upon another time, certain students became disgusted with their failure to establish an Honor System on campus. Lack of support by some of the faculty and students caused this failure. The now-disgusted students had had high hopes. They felt the establishment of an Honor System might instill in students individual responsibility - something that seems to be lacking in people here about! True, the proposition of an Honor System had appeared for decades; but, it had never been given a trial run. A final BIG push by certain "indefatiguable, persistent" students failed to establish an Honor System. This failure was noted by many. Finally, the entire campus - the entire populus of the planet went to HELL. Lack of support for the Honor System led the students who had been cheating to think that this practice was permissible as long as one could get away with it! They hadn't been doing wrong all along. This practice sp1·ead to other students, even .to those who had been honorable. Why not? It was much easier than studying for an exam. Students organized into cheating clubs. Their main business was creating up-to-date methods of fooling the instructors. The plan worked fine! Every student did well. At the end of the semester in which this practice began, all students "earned" a 4 in each course including World Lit and Sociology! (WOW!) Word spread among the administration; they were prompted to call a meeting of the faculty to discuss this phenomenon. When the startling facts were exhibited, the individual instructors began to ponder the situation. They began to suspect; some foul practices. For the next semester, they hired special proctors to aid in watching over the students. This number increased until there was one proctor for each student. The administration found themselves with little to do while every student was attaining a 4.00 average. Their biggest job was publication of the Dean's List each semester. With so much leisure, they began to leave their offices earlier each day. Soon they didn't come ,into work at all; they secured other jobs which supplemented their income. Now some of the wealthier students found that they could bribe their proctor for a small fee and continue to get good grades. In fact, the wealthier, wealthier students (resident students ) discovered one or two instructors who would give a "4" in a course and not require attendance at classes. As students graduated (all summa cum laude, by the way) they carried .their cheating practices with them. First hit was the government, which realized a smaller income because of a loss in income tax. Some graduates secured important civic positions; their cheating habits were now known as embezzlement, fraud, etc. They even corrupted labor unions, including the UMWA. Imagine! This condition spread to other areas of the globe until Earth was one gigantic free-for-all. Even the faculty eventually succumbed. Satan showed no concern whatsoever. He was filled with exceeding great joy as he sharpened his pitch fork. At last he was able to keep the home fires burning. With apologies, Corny Corn P.S.-Gabe has a new position in the orchestra: he's playing second fiddle to the fallen angel. The Honor Code is a conflict that inhabits every person. It is not a collective system in reality as it is ideally defined. There are infractions of its provision and these infractions are committed by individuals, not by a collectivist group. The individual must decide for himself by his inner-feeling or conscience that what he did or is contemplating to do is either right or wrong. If a person has a strong, moral conscience there is only one path to follow - the right one. On the other hand, if the individual has a loose, base conscience there is also only one path left to follow - the wrong one. Thus there is no compromise open to the individual. A full commitment is demanded either way. This full commitment is the concern of man's rationality. If an individual is rational, he has the intelligence to distinguish what is right from what is wrong, and to make a final decision that will be beneficial to him rather than detrimental to him. On the other hand, if a man is irrational he is unable to distinguish right from wrong. He is influenced by others while they form their own opinions. He fa just a person who "follows the crowd." He is a drop of water during tempest. He is no longer "individual." Should Wilkes adopt an Honor Code or not? If a person is rational he knows what his answer will be; if he is irrational he is still undecided and has to "think it over." Finally, what is the Honor Code? If a person must decide to adopt a position on the issue, he must first define the terms of the issue and then make his stand. The basic provisions of all Honor Codes is that if one student notices that another student is cheating during an examination, it is his holy duty to report the cheater to the court of honor. If a stuDear Editor : dent does not report the cheater to the court of honor, he must reMiss Roberts' letter in last port himself for not doing his duty. week's Beacon concerning the establishment of an Honor Code at With this principle in mind, a few problems are created.

Second, the fact that such a ruling exists may tempt many stuVince McHale dents to break it. If a student breaks the ruling successfully, he will boast about it, and he might even become the "envy" of the "boys." It is almost as good as the no drinking on campus ruling. My! My!

Dear Editor: This letter is written with several purposes in mind. One is to bring to the attention of both students and faculty members the apparent apathy on the part of the faculty members toward student-held functions. Anyone attending Theta Delta Rho's Valentine Dance undoubtedly noticed that Dr. and Mrs. Reif of the faculty and Mrs. Ahlborn of the administration were the only chaperones present. This is certainly a small percentage of the number able to attend. Another purpose of this letter is to question the necessity of time and money spent by various organizations to send invitations to members of the faculty and administration. Is the spending of this time and money justified if only one or two faculty members out of nearly one hundred attend a student-held affair? I would certainly like to know if the faculty members consider it an imposition to be asked to attend an affair sponsored by the (continued 011 page 6) ~- \\ ¥.~==-==::::.~<:_~__=_-:::'---============== \ _JI r <f); {' I don't C.Q,e. 1~ we.. h AvQ.

It is regretable that only a handful of people are interested in this subject - or at least, only a handful have been so far! This is particularly meaningful when one considers the possible implications inherent in the adoption of such a system at Wilkes. If adopted, this system would pertain to each student individually. No one would be free from its effects. After reading that last sentence, think about it for awhile. It wouldn't be like other projects and activities which students choose to participate in or abstain from. There wouldn't be that freedom to choose. Rather, .there would exist a sphere of containment in which each student's actions would be subject to conscious scrutiny by his fellow students in all academic endeavors. Eventually, proponents of this system hope .to have it extended to include social and other student activities. Several pertinent questions arise from all of this - is it fair to impose a system of this .type upon a heterogeneous group as exists at Wilkes ? Can the morals of each individual be equated with those of his fellow classmates? Of course not! But isn't this one of the basic premises upon which such a system relates to the individual? Would there be equality and the guarantee of uniform justice meted out by an Honor Court composed of students who are relatively transient (four years at the most), compared to professional, experienced educators whose job includes the proctoring of examinations? To me, such a system is plainly flagrant interference with personal freedom. Honor is a personal thing; conscience deals very well with matters of wrongdoing. Need we be subject to such conditions as are precluded under the Honor System, simply because some individuals wish to learn about honor and the results of social transgressions? If such individuals have not acquired a sense of moral dignity by this .time, through teachings received at home, church and in previous schooling, then it is certainly regrettable. However, to some people, college at $425.00 per semester is not a game in which we must all try to teach "Johnny" and "Janie" the meaning of honesty. To most students, their futures depend on what occurs now, during their four years at college. Out in the big, bad world there are ways to deal with cheaters and parasites without impinging on the normal and rightful actions of others. Oftentimes, the most effective way to learn is the hard way. What's more, to think that such a plan would give all a fairer chance at keeping the academic climate more just, is ridiculous. What's wrong with the status quo? Sure, there's cheating! But prove to me that there would be any less with an Honor System. You say maybe there wouldn't be too much less? Or maybe there wouldn't be any less than there is now? Then what are we wasting our time for? Why not a plea to all proctors .to start keeping a keener eye on our "honorable" students? Maybe some of the deadwood could be eliminated, and all concerned would breathe more easily. I R.

The 5'10" junior from Spring City, Pa., is a guard on the Colonel basketball team. For two seasons Dick has been invaluabl e to the team as a playmaker and spark-plug for the Wilkes cagers. This season the Dick Morgan fortunes of the team have been terrible. Still, the play of Dick Morgan is to be noticed. On court for the Colonels Dick is the source of determination which at times seems to go unheeded, but in spite of the current of the game he manages to keep some life in the team. Dick's determination stems from his one deep desire to win which one must agree is perhaps the first step to victory. Dick's defensive ability shows itself in every contest and when he was injured last season, his absence was sorely felt. Dick, along with Harvey Rosen and Bob Fleming, form s the key to the Colonel attack . For his unconquerable spirit and r elentless effort and drive, along with his defensive skill and role a s playmaker, the Beacon has selected Dick Morgan as "Athlete of the Week ." ~IU#td-i#.'

Wilson The Wilkes swimming team, which was formed three years ago by the "Iron Man," Carl Havira, opened its season this year by defeating Drexel, 54-37, but has since dropped four meets in a row. The team has won only a single meet in three years, and many factors may be responsible for this dismal showing. The greatest handicap facing this year's team is the lack of facilities, namely, a pool. The mermen have occasional use of the YMCA pool, but this access must be within the schedule of the YMCA. Although the squad presently has potentially good swimmers, it has also been greatly hampered by the lack of sufficient material. Many key performers were lost as the season progressed because of academic r easons. Still others dropped from the team for various reasons. Although the team has won only a single meet, the future looks promising. Coach Young's squad is composed entirely of freshmen and sophomores, and next year's squad may be the first winning team in the history of the sport at Wilkes.

Showing excellent form the Barons continued their victory spree under the leadership of playmakers Ed Simmons, Bob Keller and Jack Jackson. This trio turned in one of their best performances this season. Simmons, who has been hot in the last several games, clicked again with 30 points, and teammates Jackson and Keller were other instruments in the big wins for Wilkes-Barre, each dumping in 29 tallies for the local cagers in the regular game. . A recent addition to the team, Jack Jackson, a bounding young man acquired from Trenton, has proved to be a crowd pleaser with his unusual style of play as well as a valuable contribution to the club. Jackson has been nicknamed "Jumping Jack." On a fast break or defensive maneuver Jackson makes unbelievable leaps into the air dunking b a 11 s effortlessly through the net or making superb blocks.

The Barons came from behind in a replayed fourth period of a game, which earlier in the season was protested by the Trenton team, to hand the Colonials a 126 to 1>21 loss, with Bob Keller and Ted Luckenbill collecting 16 and 15 points respectively. In the regular contest Wilkes-Barre completely overpowered the Colonials, crushing them, 146 to 124. As a result of these losses in manpower, Coach Ken Young now has only a ten man squad, and obviously no depth. These ten swimmers deserve mention: Captain Jack Barnes, Ron Doggett, Ken Wiswall, John Rokita, Lamont McClure, Bill Vanderburg, Roger Squire, Chuck Ritrillo, John Thomas, and Ron Masters.

It has been stated that these remarks serve to "hurt" our athletic earns. I am not certain what this term "hurt" means exactly. Apparently the application of the . term refers to the morale of our athletes. If this is the case, then the charge that this column is "hurting" our teams becomes ludicrous. How can he written word "hurt"( demoralize) a team that by itself has lost sixteen of seventeen contests thus far in he season? This writer does not feel that he has injured any of our athletic teams in the least. Actually, it is flattering that these articles have been regarded as potent enough to have any effect at all upon our campus heroes. The column is not designed as an instrument of demoralizing propaganda. It is merely an attempt to bring into focus a true picture of the athletic situation. lt appears that certain individuals would have the Beacon Sports page(s) function merely as an arm of the Sports Publicity Office. These individuals would have us cloud the fact that many Wilkes athletic endeavors have been declining. This, however, is definitely not the policy of this paper. The sports staff refuses to accept such a position. Recently, a member of our wrestling team, in a discussion with one of the Beacon editors, confided that he agreed with the constructive criticism that appears in this column, but implied that such criticism should not appear in the Beacon. If not here, where should it appear? This, I fear, is an example of the narrow view adhered to by a number of persons on campus. We are certain that the majority of the students here do not hold this viewpoint which is assuredly faulty. Free expression of criticism is a basic right of every newspaper in these United States. Expression will remain free as long as the expressing party adheres to the actual facts and does not veil the truth. There, of course, must be certain boundaries of discretion which must be observed for obvious rasons. This writer contends that none of the above-mentioned abuses have been committed in this column. It is unfortunate that some have been offended by the truth. In closing, I should like to turn to a quotation from Benjamin Franklin. "If all printers (writers) were determined not to print anything 'til they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed." This states my case. Cagers Open Three Game Home Stand Tomorrow evening the Colonel cagers will begin a three-game home stand as they host the Greyhounds of Moravian College. Earlier this season the Hounds handed the Davismen an 87-62 setback at Bethlehem. Currently the Greyhounds are among the leaders· in the Middle Atlantic Conference race and will be trying for their fourth win in two years over Wilkes. On Tuesday the Wilkesmen will host Rutgers of South Jersey in a non-conference game. Last season Rutgers was one of the three teams the Colonels beat, topping them 6758 in a road contest. This year the J erseyites are engaged in a moderately successful season and no doubt will be primed for the Wilkes battle. Thursday evening will mark the final home engagement of the season for the Colonels as they meet the Colonials of Harpur College. Last season the Colonials stopped Coach Davis' quintet, 68-59, at Binghamton. They rolled up an impressive 14-3 won-loss chart and are continuing along the same Jines this season. Harpur will field one of the shortest teams Wilkes has faced this season as their tallest starter will be 6'3" Phil Weisberg. Other members of the starting five will probably be 6'1" Mike Freedus, 5'10" Mike Greenberg, 6' Bob Loomis, and 6' Bill Moynihan. Lose to Vikings Last Saturday the Davismen were outclassed by the Vikings of Upsala College in a game played at East Orange, N.J. Connecting on 50 per cent of their field goal attempts the Vikings raked the Colonels for 98 points while holding the Wilkesmen to 43. As usual the Wilkes shooting was cold and they were out of contention midway through the first half. Upsala had five men in double figures while Harvey Rosen was high scorer in the game with 18. Bob Fleming was the only other Colonel in double figures, as he hit for 10.

Those interested in entering the "Silver Opinion Competition" should contact either Iris or MiMi for entry blanks and details concerning the competition. They also have sample of 12 of the most popular Reed & Barton designs so that entrants can see how these sterling patterns actually look.

The meeting will be held at the United Fund Building, 66 North Main Street, February 27, at 8:00 p.m. Since one of the most important areas of the proposed new constitution is education, it is felt that college students might have some fresh ideas concerning this aspect. Dr. Eugene S. Farley is organizational liaison chairman of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chapter for State Constitution Revision. Lettermen Vie for Titles At Cherry Tree Chop Seasonal tradition will prevail at the gym tonight when the Lettermen present their annual Cherry Tree Chop. The evening will host numerous activities which will commence at 8 p.m. and continue until 9 p.m. Music for the evening's dancing will be provided by the "fabulous record collection of Ted TravisBey." The main attraction at intermission will be the traditional log sawing contest featuring Dr. Farley and Dean Ralston against Brooke Yeager and Peter Winebrake. Also, although Dr. Michelini will not be here to defend his title of cherry pie-eating champion, some unkown member of the faculty will oppose Jerry Mohn for this title. An added attraction will be free cherry pie for everyone attending. Admission for the evening of entertainment will be 50 cents, with all proceeds from this record hop being used in the Lettermen's scholarship fund. The Apathetic Onlooker by Jack Hardie Olsen Schroeder We had an unfortunate experience the other day when we met Miss Medusa Havisham, the retired school teacher, and spoke with her on South Franklin Street. "Oh! and why are you all dressed up so ? " was her first question, her sweet blue eyes glittering with admiration. "Well," we began, "tonight's .the night of the 'Paradise for Lovebirds' dance . . . and we thought that we might g .... " ,"Ohh - 'Paradise for Lovebirds,' what a perfectly lovable name for a high school dance," she squealed. "But, Miss Ravish ...." "I remember when I was in grade school; a grade school dance, did you say it was?" She sighed admiringly again. "The little cuties must have had hours of excitement, thinking up such a sweet little name for their affair!" "Miss Havisham, it's not . . .. " "MY," she interrupted again, "you do look a little large for grade-school tykes - but then this strong, imaginative productive new generation is doing everything better these days. . .. Such a lovable name for your little dance." Even our weak protest trailed off as she continued down South Franklin Street, her face beaming, and we wondered whether or not she isn't getting a bit senile. Seventy-nine Named to Dean's List; 5 Students Achieve Perleel Average The Dean's List for the Fall semester, 1962, includes 79 students, five of whom attained perfect averages. . They are Malcohn Baird, William Carver, Jean McMahon, Patricia Rossi, and Christine Wentz. Those attaining averages of 3.25 or better for 12 or more credit hours are: LETTERS TO EDITOR (continued from page 3) student body. If such is the case, then feelings could be spared and time and money saved by not sending invitations but expecting only interested faculty members to attend functions. On the other hand, I would raise another question: Would members of the faculty be insulted if they did not receive a personal invitation? If any faculty members are interested in airing their feelings in this subject I am sure that the students will be grateful for their interest. Sincerely, (Name Withheld Upon Request) ICG Sponsors Sport Dance To Follow Moravian Game A new precedent may be set on campus if the ICG sport dance tomorrow evening is a success. Jeff Gallett, chairman of this initial post-game dance, emphasized this fact in a recent discussion of ICG's future plans. Jeff also requests the cooperation of all present at the game in leaving the gym proper immediately after the game to facilitate setting up for the festivities. Admission for the dance is 25 cents for students with activities cards but 50 cents for those without cards. That ICG is not active only in fund raising efforts is evidenced by the regional convention to be held at King's College on March 31. Approximately twelve schools will be in attendance at this convention which is only a warm-up for the state convention in Harrisburg in April. Each member writes up an amendment for the state constitution which is debated in the various committee meetings. If the amendment passes the committee it is then debated in the general assembly and the maker of the best amendment will receive an award. . . . For Your School Supplies Shop at ...

Biologists Plan Calendar High school students from the area will have an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the biological sciences when Mr. Harold Gershenowitz, biology instructor, takes charge of a science conference at Stark Hall. The affair, still in the planning stage, will consist of displays, discussions, lectures, and possibly films on the various branches of biology . In addition, the Biological Society is arranging for their two final evening programs. At the first of these, Mrs. Martin Friedmann will show slides of her recent tour of Russia, which she made with the Robert Shaw Chorale. At the second program Dr. Charles Reif will discuss the geological make-up of this area. The club will be represented at the Eastern Science Conference to be held in Boston. Students will present papers on the research which they now are conducting at the College. Those members who will travel to Boston are Thomas Saba, Bernard Cohen, Marshall Brooks, Ronald Mischak, Myron Evanich, Malcolm Baird, Donald Fine, and Brent O'Connell. l + + + + PERUGINO'S VILLA ltalian-Amerlccm : l + + Re■ tauraat A.

Radio Club Purchases New II-Foot Antenna Presently decorating Pickering Hall is an eleven-foot antenna recently purchased by the Radio Club. This antenna will enable the club to contact stations at a greater distance than it has been able to do previously, because of its power to improve receiving and transmitting. Hovering over this structure is a smaller antenna, which is labelled VHF, or very high frequency. This is associated with local communication, including Luzerne County and northeastern Pennsylvania in their Civil Defense program. A homemade transmitter, loaned by Harvey Wishtart, plus the antenna will Campus Figures Discuss Tax Issue One of the biggest national news stories this week occurred when President Kennedy pressed Congress for the immediate passage of his tax cut - revision bill. The Chief Executive, in his intense desire to achieve his aims, went so far as to say he would even accept a tax cut without reform. In an attempt to capture the general feeling of John Q. Public, toward this current event issue, the Beacon took an on-the-spot poll of several students. Question: What is your opinion of President Kennedy's proposed tax -· cut - tax revision program? Joseph Barnard, Business Education Major: "I think it is ridiculous. Taxes are going to continually rise with the constant upcost of our economy. If they remove them from one area they will raise them in another." Roger Opdahl, Field Representative for the LMC: "I think unquestionably a tax reform is due long overdue, in fact. Any major change in fiscal policy at this time should include a reform bill in the direction he has advocated. However, to say as he does that he will accept a tax cut without tax reform is in effect to put his stamp of approval on a tax cut without reform."

'Manuscript' Sets Date For Contributions "To all frustrated student writers -we offer you what may be your only chance to appear in print." This is the invitation offered by the Manuscript Society in their search for creative works for their annual literary publication. In announcing an April 1 deadline for contributions, Harris Tobias, editor, urges that all interested "authors" submit their creative writings to Manuscript as soon as possible via either the box in the library or individual editorial staff members. The society will accept all types of compositions - short stories, sketches, reviews, poetry, fables, essays - for review by society members, who decide what works will be published. To sharpen their critical processes for this project, Manuscript members have been practicing in bi-weekly workshops in which they critically review poetry and prose submitted by s t u d e n t writers. These workshops which are held in the Manuscript office, Conyngham 209, are open to the s~udent body. Film To Be Shown "Opera such as has never been seen before" - In these words critics describe the film, A Night At The Opera, which will be shown by the Manuscript Society tonight in In response to numerous complaints of dormitory s t u d en t s brought before them concerning the present medical program at the College, the Inter-Dormitory Council has been laying the groundwork for an improved medical program since the beginning of the fall semester. To ascertain the exact deficiencies noted by the dormitory students in the present program, IDC conducted a survey under the chairmanship of Arlene Siano. Each resident student was asked to complete a "Dormitory Medical Insurance Questionnaire." Of the 203 students who returned the questionnaires, 26.9 per cent reported that they had taken advantage of the insurance a total of 87 times, 85 students protested that a College doctor would not visit a dormitory to administer to a sick student, and 92 students objected to compulsory insurance. In reviewing the questionnaires, IDC found that most of the dormitory students would be in favor of a program which would include an insurance policy with a five dollar deductible clause rather than the present ten dollar one, twelve month coverage, an infirmary on campus, and, possibly, flu innoculations for the entire student body at a reduced cost. To determine the feasibility of such a plan, IDC reviewed the programs of several insurance companies and discussed these programs with representatives of the companies. As a result of the survey and these discussions Jerry Berk, president of the IDC, feels that there is a need for a new program of medical care and that that need can be satisfied. A committee of IDC members has been appointed to acquaint the administration with the deficiencies of the present program and to propose changes which would meet both the administration's approval and the needs of the students. Mr. George Elliot, the group's advisor, assisted in composing the questionnaire. Stark 116. In this comic classic, the Marx Brothers, with the help of Kitty Carlisle and Allan Jones, romp through a satire on the pomp and pompousness surrounding grand opera.

Plans Mozarl Opera After studying grammar and translations, German students of Herr Disque . and Dr. Frijters will be given the opportunity to test their knowledge. A German translation of Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro" will be shown in Stark 116 on Monday, March 4, from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. and Tuesday, March 5, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The main characters of the opera are Figaro, a valet; Susanna, a maid; Count Almaviva, who tries to take Susanna from Figaro; and Cherubino, page to Countess Alma- viva. The plot centers around a love triangle between Figaro, Susanna, and Count Almaviva. The Count tries to claim Susanna on her wedding night, according to an old feudal custom, forcing Susanna and Figaro to resort to trickery and evasiveness to win out over the Count. The play from which the opera was derived was written primarily to ridicule the upper class of society and its privileges. This is evident throughout the opera as the Count repeatedly tries to exercise his feudal rights over Susanna. �2 Wil.KES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- Possibility of An Error You know, the campus newspaper is really a sad sight. News coverage is "slanted". There aren't enough pictures. In addition to printing unimaginatively-written stories, the paper has some paragraphs that don't even make sense. Where are the copy readers who are supposed to correct mistakes and to make certain that vital information - like my name, for instance - isn't omitted from a story? If these bits of constructive criticism sound vaguely familiar, let it be known that thus they were intended, for they have been gleaned from you. Little did you realize, men and women of the campus, that those passing remarks made to a sympathetic listener were overheard - and were recorded by various and sundry members of the 'Beacon' staff. In rebuttal we shrug, "Sorry, we goofed again." But before anyone should surmise that the staff is complacent with published errors, let it further be known that there is a phenomenon known as the typographical error. Many most - are detected and corrected. Some slip by the editorial pencil. We will do our best, as we have in the past, to report news as accurately as possible. We ask only one thing of our readers: please remember that we are human. Proof of An Error When the Dean's list was announced last week, three names were inadvertently omitted: Patricia Brady 3.40, Marshall Brooks 3.28, Barbara Buckman 3.31. The Beacon apologizes for the oversight. Scrutiny of last week's story would show that the error was not merely one of oversight, though. Names were not left out. Rather, a sentence or two was lost in the mechanical process of setting type. Mistakes can be detected when stories are proofread. After these stories have been set and are ready to go to press, it would be difficult - almost impossible - to discover errors or omitted lines. Again, apologies to the omitted few and congratulations to all whose scholastic averages merit Dean's List recognition. What - Where - When Student Critic Praises Hayes-Evans Roles; Observes Minor Flaws Friday, March 1. 1963 Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: Collegiate life has two components, the curriculum a n d the extracurriculum. My attitude has long been that both components are vital in education and that every student and every faculty member should have a part in both sides of campus life. The majority of my colleagues, I believe, share this attitude to some degree. I also believe, contrary to the opinion expressed in the letter concerning invitations, that the faculty, percentage-wise, have a better record of attending extracurricular functions than do the students. In an age when social amenities are being jettisoned to windward and leeward, the effect of which is all too apparent in the social behavior of today's students, the writing of invitations to a few affairs each year is almost the only formal etiquette exhibited by the students with reference to the faculty. If the sending of invitations by the students is nothing more than an exercise in penmanship and does not express a sincere wish of the students to share the pleasure of an affair with the faculty, I shall certainly not be insulted if none is sent to me. The longer a person is on the faculty of Wilkes College the more he becomes involved in activities in the community, many of which are off campus. The life of the college is enriched because the faculty do live ~onstructive lives in addition to being scholars. Some of the ..younger members have children. · · Some are doing research. Thus in many instances the faculty members do have previous engagements and thus cannot accept invitations to attend student functions. The more important question the students should ask is this: if a member of the faculty does accept an invitation, say to a tie dance ( one at which the boys wear ties and the girls wear skirts), what is to be. done with : the faculty member when he is present? I shall not suggest an answer in this letter, however, many students know what has happened in the past. Too frequently, what has happened in the past has not been conducive to making a faculty member wish to attend again. To those students who have been by Dee Amir For an actor to assume any single role convincingly is a difficult task. To assume many in one performance and change from one to the other in a moment is a feat that can be handled only be experts. In A Program for Two Players presented by the University of Scranton on February 23, Helen Hayes and Maurice Evans took on the task of assuming several roles in a program consisting of scenes_from Shakespeare's plays. The degree of success which the actors achieved in their many roles varied. In general, the high points of the program occurred in scenes from the comedies. In a scene from As You Like It between Rosalind and Orlando, Miss Hayes convincingly assumed the attitude of a young girl disguised as a boy. Then, as the boy imitating a girl, she looked correctly affected and comical. Mr. Evans did not achieve the same degree of credibility in this scene. He never lost the years that a man of his age must to successfully portray the would-be lover of Rosalind. In fact, he failed to achieve the required youth in a scene from Hamlet, too. The high point of Mr. Evan's performance came in a reading of the clowns' rehearsal scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Sitting with book in hand, using only his voice in several different ranges to speak the lines of all the characters, Mr. Evans managed to execute rapid character transition and a delightfully comic effect in scene that is always enjoyable. Ending the program with a scene from The Taming of the Shrew seemed, for the moment, to negate any previous shortcomings of the performance. Miss Hayes began her characterization as a coarse and comic Kate. With ·shrewish grunts in her· voice and wide, unrefined gestures of her body she was refreshingly impish. Mr. Evans · as Petruchio . seemed as though he pulled the strings of a puppet with his sharply delivered demands of Kate until she became almost submissive and he seemed the conquering hero. With Shakespeare as a source and Miss Hayes and Mr. Evans as the· artists how wrong· could this STUDENT SKETCH program go? It was never dull, it always moved at a rapid pace, but sometimes the credibility of performance fell short of perfection. a Manuscipt Film, "Night at the Opera" - Stark 116, Tonight, 7 p.m., 9:30 p.m. Wrestling, Middle Atlantic Tournament - At Hofstra, Today and Tomorrow.

Sincerely, Charles Reif Dear Editor: It looks as if we are getting back to the old proverbial problem the College parking situation. It wouldn't be natural not to have about one letter to the Beacon editor each semester on the issue. So to be consistent, I want to put a little more pepper in the pudding. I'm not playing ignorant to the fact that the College administration is aware of the plight and that they are doing all they can to alleviate the situation (so they say). Last semester it looked as if they were trying to do something for the students by not tagging cars that were "illegally" parked in the Parrish lot. All of a sudden with the change of semest.e rs, those little yellow tags began appearing all over the place. Rumor has it one of the members of the -administration had occasion to vil:,it Parrish - one .. day, and wanted to park in the lot. Unable to find a spot himself, he must have thought ari · orderly parking lot would be in the best interests of the College - thus a recommendation to clamp down upon violators. Personally I cannot see any reason why cars are not allowed to be parked in such an askew manner as long as the keys are left in them. I'm sure any of the College's worthy alumni and benefactors, as well as the honorable citizens of the community, who witnessed such a parking situation would be quite sympathetic, and who knows, might even make possible another parking lot. Then again, the clamping down on illegal parking may mean the College needs added income to cover those ever-increasing expenses. This, I doubt. As an alumnus I want to be proud to think of this College as one for the students all the way. Contributions to the alumni fund could even be the evidence of such pride and apJ)l'eciatjon.

Barons Split Series With Camden Bullets Last weekend the Wilkes-Barre Barons' winning streak was snapped at 9 straight victories by the league leading Camden Bullets, but not before the Barons had handed the Camden team an embarrassing 142-122 setback on Saturday night at the West Side Armory. Camden was after its seventh straight win. In Saturday's game, Camden was hampered by the absence of their big gun, Paul Arizin, who was forced to miss the game because of illness. Trailing, 29-20, at the end of the first period, the Barons called Howie Montgomery (evidently forgiven for his absence in the last two outings) into the game along with Sherman White, injecting some spark into the Barons. Wilkes-Barre took a slight 55-53 halftime advantage. In addition to being without Paul Arizin, Camden lost Russ Gorden when Gorden was ejected after some disagreement with the Barons' Ted Luckenbill. Gorden was high scorer for the Bullets when he left. Wilkes-Barre's Jumping Jack Jackson continued to delight Baron fans with his dunkers and Leroy Wright and Sherm White also turned in outstanding performances, while Bob Keller was high man for both squads with 36 tallies. For Camden Bob McNeil was leading scorer with 29, while Dick Gaines pushed through 28 points. At Camden on Sunday night, however, the Bullets obtained and kept their home win streak of 10 games alive by turning the tables on the Barons to the tune of a 11798 victory over Wilkes-Barre. Paul Arizin made an eleven point showing for Camden with Herbie White and Hal Lear running wild in the Today and tomorrow the Colonel mat squad will invade the Hofstra campus in hopes of regaining their M.A.C. wrestling crown.

Anyone having a suggestion for a senior gift may contact Richard Ales or Pat Rossi. There are also suggestion boxes placed in the cafeteria and in Parrish Hall. A f ew suggestions which have already been made include folding arm chairs for finals in ·the gym, coat racks for classrooms, and individual mailboxes with keys for dorm students. At the next class meeting, the committee will present several suggestions from which seniors will select the gift. staff at the College. Dr. Edgerton has published four articles in scholarly journals: "The Apostasy of Nicholas Udall," "Shakespeare and the 'Needle's Eye'," "Nicholas Udall in the Indexes of Prohibited Books," and "The Calendar Year in Sixteenth Century Printing." Sometime this fall, he expects his first book, Nicholas Udall, a critical and analytical study of the first man to write British comedy, to be published. When asked about his wife's feelings concerning the upcoming events, Dr. Edgerton replied that she was "very excited." Commenting on his future plans, he said, "I plan to write more articles. The job I had as a reporter taug ht me to write rapidly. I hope to complete my second book, Shakespeare's Audience, in the next two years. I always wanted to be a college professor, so I'll also continue teaching."

Sordoni. The Senator, a native of Nanticoke, has had an active career in local, state, and national affairs. He has served the nation well. A comment from the College's President. Dr. Farley, reflects the esteem with which all who have known the Senator regarded him. "Andrew Sordoni was a founder of Wilkes College and served on its Board and its committees from its founding in 1933 until his death in 1963. "During his thirty years of service on the Board he concerned himself with the material growth of the College and with the support of students through his scholarship grants. "He encouraged and supported every forward step, and by his wisdom and loyalty he sustained every effort that he believed would strengthen the College and the community. "The memory of his friendship and counsel will influence the future of the College as his direct participation has influenced its past growth." Maybe The Seniors Need Help Soon seniors will vote on a gift which they will present to the College to perpetuate their memory. Preceding classes have donated thoughtful. and often useful, gifts. This year's graduating class, though, may have difficulty deciding, since only a few suggestions have been submitted for consideration. If seniors cannot make a few worthwhile suggestions, perhaps underclassmen will drop a gift idea into one of the suggestion boxes on campus. • Fliers circulated to announce gift committee meetings brought a grand total of two interested seniors - the chairmen - to said meetings. Seniors did not attend the meetings; they failed to offer many suggestions. Yet no doubt they will scorn some of the ideas given them when they are to vote for the gift at their next class meeting. A little positive action now would eliminate negative submission later. - 'Nuf said.

First Methodist Church, North WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Dear Editor: The past f ew issues of the Beacon have carried a number of letters concerning the Honor Code; this Code has also been the topic of many discussions on campus. It is heartening to find that at least some of the students are interested in a subject which will affect each and every one of us at Wilkes. However, there seems to be a number of misguided theories concerning the Code which may confuse the issue: (1) To "Name Withheld Again" who alludes to the fact that students advocating an Honor Code are "people trusting only themselves and mistrusting their neighbor" may I say that you have the whole thing somewhat mixed up. Because we do trust in our neigh• hors as well as ourselves, we know the Honor Code can work. (2) "N.W.A." also states that "the faculty have nothing to say about how their examinations should be conducted." I refer you to Article II, Section II of the proposed Honor Code which states, "Conditions for tests and quizzes are subject to the individual's in. structor's discretion." (3) Mr. Bayo stated that "the basic prov1s1ons of all Honor Codes is that if one student notices that another student is cheating during an examination, it is his holy duty to report the cheating to the court of honor." This, Mr. Bayo, is certainly not the basic provision of any Honor Code. It is merely a means of checks and balances on a system which, like any other system, is not fool-proof. No one has stated that the proposed Honor Code will bring about a miracle and stop all cheating. This would be a ridiculous fallacy. ( 4) If it won't stop all cheating why waste our time changing the present system inquires Mr. Shemo. For this answer, I'll refer you to any student who has never attended a school with an Honor Code. It must be a wonderful fel. ing to be able to walk out of the room in the middle of an exam knowing that the instructor and your fellow students have Complete Confidence in your integrity. I don't believe that there are very many people who can confound another's trust in them. It may be easy to ignore a rule, but ignoring another's trust in you is another matter. The world has become so full of cynicism that words like trust, con• fidence, faith, and ideals seem to have lost their comforting meaning. It's a very frightening feeling to find yourself cringing in denial when someone calls you an idealist because you believe in something like an Honor Code. The word is snarled rather than spoken, and it seems to hold the same connotations as the plague. The cynic . . . writes a fashion column has become the hero of the hour.

The dorm students, after they finish lunch, are required to remove their trays and eating utensils from the tables so that other people may have a clean and decent area at which to sit. Now what do the "day-hops" do with their debris after they finish NOTHING ! Bags, waxpaper, saran wrap, ba• nana peels, cigarette butts in coke glasses, plates, apple cores, straws, etc., are strewn about table tops, revealing an unsightly (actually a sickening) mess upon which others may gaze. Consequently, the cafeteria workers must run around with a wash cloth and trash can cleaning up after us as if we were children. Don't we have enough facilities on campus without our adding a college dump? We, as Wilkes students, are paying to acquire knowledge; yet, it is fairl y obvious that we are still ignorant of fundamental learning, taught free of charge since we were youngsters. The impressions which this careless and disgusting habit leave are really detrimental to the esteem that others may hold of us. Not only students, but administrators, guests, prospective students and their parents frequent the "cafe" and is this what we want them to see? Our Commons is our eating place away from home. Is this the condition in which we find our home kitchen? I believe that I would be fairly well justified in saying "NO." Something must be done and done immediately. Perhaps if the "cafe" were supplied with waste cans or if an appropriate area were designated for depositing our garbage, this might alleviate the situation some• what.

Name Withheld * .,..,. Dear Editor: Now that wrestling season is over I feel it is time to give recognition to the person who has made this sport a success at Wilkes. Coach Reese, an outstanding wi·estler himself, has devoted an enormous amount of work and time to make wi·estling a better sport at Wilkes. This year's team, made up mostly of underclassmen and four freshmen (sic) didn't have the out• standing record as did teams of previous years. This was due most• ly to inexperience and depth of the team. I am sure that with a little extra effort on the team's part, next year's record will indicate a marked improvement. Mr. Reese has given our team a desire to win and a unity which few other teams possess. As one teammate remarked to me recently, "It seems I can't lose when that guy shakes my hand and sends me out to wrestle; it sends goosebumps up your spine." Coach Reese is looked up to and respected by every member of our team be• cause he is what he expects us to be. Mr. Reese is humble, quiet, understanding and a good sport. He is a modest winner and a grace• ful loser. Coach Reese is responsibl~ for the close relationship of the team members. We are almost like brothers, each pulling for the other. These are the reasons why Wilkes has' a good wrestling team and will continue to in the future. This letter expresses the feelings of our entire team who are grateful for what this great man has done and the influence he has made on us in and out of school.

The contest was close all the way as Wilkes-Barre managed to secure a two-point advantage in the first period and then played an even second period to take a slim 65-63 halftime lead. In the third period, the Barons managed to gain 35 points to Scranton's 34. Howie Montgomery and Bob Keller then teamed up in the final round scoring 10 and 11 points respectively, to give Wilkes-Barre the decision. The fans had a chance to see a former Baron, Bill Spivey, in action as the big man dominated the rebounding for the evening. For the Barons, Bob Keller produced 38 tallies to lead both teams in scoring, while Spivey deposited 29 for Scranton to lead his team in that category also. Bob Keller and Ted Luckenbill were named to the second team of the Eastern League's all star selections. K e 11 e r has been the Baron's handyman and playmaker this season and leads the team in the point production department. Luckenbill has been a welcome addition to the Barons providing the attack with punch and giving body to the team. On Sunday night the Barons travelled to Scranton where the Miners got revenge by an even closer 128-127 verdict.

For the first time in many years the Wilkesmen failed to gain a single individual title. West Chester State College garnered team honors as they scored a total of 74 points while Wilkes finished in sixth place with 21. In front of the Colonels were Temple with 45, Lycoming with 43, Drexel with 35, and Hofstra with 33. Last year the Reesemen finished in a fourth- place tie with Hofstra, each team gathering 37 markers. Also last year, Wilkes' Ted ToJuba won the 167-pound title and was named Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament by virtue of his gaining four falls over his oppoents. John Gardner came off with the 147-pound championship last year also. Last weekend, Gardner could do no better than gain third place in the 167-pound division which nevertheless was the highest position gained by a Wilkes grappler at the tourney. Captain Bob Herman took fourth place in the heavyweight division. Society to Sell Candy •••••••••••••••••••••••• Mike Fosko, president of the Engineering Club, has announced that the society will hold a "Candy Canvas." Prior to the Easter vacation, club members will take orders for one-dollar boxes of candy of six varieties. The project will be conducted both on campus and in the local communities. Proceeds from the sale will help finance the annual field trip made by the Engineering Society. The trip is now in the planning stage. Sunbury Mercuries for two games, one at home and the other at Sunbury. It is apparent that the Barons have congealed into a solid ballclub after numerous mid-season revampings, and in their recent surge give evidence of the team which was thought so highly of in preseason predictions. The Barons remain in third place behind second place Allentown and league leading Camden. Allentown dumped Trenton by a walloping 1 6 2 - 1 2 0 blockbuster, while Trenton turned around to hand Camden a setback on the following night. It was unfortunate that the Barons ran into so much rough weather throughout the midseason, but the local cagers are still playing it right down to the wire. 0 30 130 Headquarters for Lettered wu.n:s JACKETS LEWIS- DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER 11 E.

Prior to his graduation in January, Fendrick was active both as student director and actor in many productions of the theater, and upon graduation, was afforded an unusual opportunity to remain as a member of the English department and director in Cue and Curtain. Fendrick had the following comment to make concerning his new appointment. "Originally, I had intended to enter drama school on the graduate level; however when I was afforded the opportunity to do some student teaching here at Wilkes, I felt it would be highly desirable to postpone my graduate study until I had taken advantage of this experience." Look Back in Anger, the play which Fendrick has personally selected as his initial directing endeavor, presents, because of its unusual text, a challenge both to the director and the cast. The greatest transition must, however, be made by Fendrick himself since now he must think and act as the director rather than as the perform er .

By refusing to limit yourself to a narrow range of interests you will find that your life will be richer and more meaningful." This challenge expresses the basis of Romellc Gomba's numerous activities both on and off campus. Romelle illustrates very well her belief that we should obey our impul ses ; she spent one day as a biology major, then switched to art education. Now she is a student teacher of art in Kingston High School; she will spend four weeks working with this age group, then another four weeks in local elementary schools. In between these four years, however, she has squeezed in an amazing number of activities. She has been secretary of the Art Club for the past three years, was secretary and treasurer of Cue and Curtain last year, and costume chairman for two years; and was in the Women's Chorus for two years. Romelle is also an active member of the Wyoming Valley Art League and of the Little Theatre of WilkesBarre. Her association with these organizations has enabled her to meet many outstanding personalities in Wyoming Valley and to learn a great deal about makeup, lighting, and stagecraft. But just as she believes that we should partake of many varied activities and round out our personalities thereby, she does not confine her interest to art. She is registrar and lap-recorder at the Cliffside Driving Park, where fans of model electric racing cars congregate. Exhibiting their interest in sports cars, she and Jan Pethick, her fiance and fellow art major, worked as communications personnel at the Giants Despair Hill Climb last summer. Next summer the couple will be experimenting with skin-diving and possibly scuba, a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. Jan is interested in marine biology and, if their experimenting proves fruitful, they may even buy a small sloop to study marine biology. With this in mind, Romelle tried on her first wet-suit last Saturday in New York City, where they bought equipment. Among her other enterprises, she and Jan, with several other students, are planning to open a coffee house in Wilkes-Barre where they hope to create an intellectual atmosphere for discussions and seminars and to offer art works for sale. Reading is Romelle's favorite hobby. She reads avidly in whatever field she happens to be interested in at the time. This includes sport cars, skin-diving, science fietion, old German tales, and plays. In addition, she designs and makes over three-quarters of her wardrobe and takes great pride in being able to fit clothes to her own purposes and personality. Furthermore, she finds copper enameling "very exciting" - a field she would like to study further - and makes jewelry and utensils to sell both at art fairs and to individuals. By DR. HUGO V. MAILEY, Chairman of Political Science Dept. Ed. Note--Although Dr. Mailey wrote the following article for the November 22 issue of the "West Side News," the "Beacon" stalJ feels that the analysis is still pertinent and may provide background for future outbreaks of the Mississippi type. The time when virtually everyone went wrong in assessing the situation which developed in the effort to enroll the first Negro at the University of Mississippi was the beginning, when it was assumed that this Deep Southern state and its Governor would be no different from Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Louisiana, and other states which have grudingly capitulated to limited desegragation since 1954. Here, as in no other Southern state, the extremists and the apostles of last-ditch defiance seized control almost from the moment of the Supreme Court decision and never relinquished it. It was here the Citizens Councils were born, only months after the 1954 ruling. In less than a year they had enough political and psychological power to make open opposition to their doctrines political suicide; by the time Gov. Barnett was elected in 1959 as the unabashed front man, they had a stranglehold on the state. There are very few liberal whites in Mississippi. There are fewer outright integrationists. That vocal handful who, for want of a better term, are labeled moderates were isolated by the council almost from the beginning. Mississippi is a state of small towns and cities, with its capital, Jackson, a city of 150,000 people -three times the size of the next largest community. Thus, there was no Atlanta, or New Orleans, or Dallas, or Nashville in which dissident whites could find any sizable group of sympathizers.. Economic pressure was an elficient, if unspectacular, tool of the Council and its unceasing propaganda elfort was more than sulficient to counter the voices of reason. \Vith a few notable exceptions, Mississippi by 1959 had the appearance of monolithic solidarity. A suggestion of the answers to questions that arise about the behavior of students was given by the students two years ago, when a questionnaire was conducted among the student body called the College Characteristic Index. This Index has been administered at 80 colleges and universities around the country. The major bar to even partial acceptance of Meredith is the absence of any tradition of dissent on the campus or any rallying point of liberal thought. Mississippi students placed a high value on possessions, status, and the material benefits of higher education. To some extent Ole Miss is seen as a club. This is likely to make Meredith's task even more dilficult. Things are done together instead of privately. In the segment of the Index measuring propriety, consideration, and caution, the University scored low, despite what might be called a "surface mannerliness." Although Mississippi students rank above the national average in the results of college entrance tests, the Index showed they had little interest in scholarly pursuits or academic discipline once they arrived on campus. Nor does the University demand this of them. The students also scored low in the element of the Index dealing with esthetic sensitivity, idealism, involvement in the world's problems, and self-analysis. The University has no active debating society, and no literary or humorous publications that might provide a vehicle for thoughtful or satirical writings on, among other topics, the racial issue. The student newspaper, which is issued four times weekly, compares unfavorably with those of other colleges of smaller size. In recent years its editors have been subject to harassment by the State Legislature for asserted manifestation of liberal views. The campus bookstore, one of several enterprises run as a concession for the benefit of the Athletic Association, limits itself to required texts at list price. A separate shop in an out-of-the-way spot on the second floor of the Student Union Building offers a small selection of paperbacks. No magazine of even average quality is available on the campus, and few are sold in Oxford. In fact the cultural life of the City is as barren as that of the University appears to be. Thus, the School remains largely as it has been, one for the middle and upper classes, for posting "gentlemen's C's," making "contacts" and finding a suitable wife or husband. One of the more thought-provoking aspects of the news that came out of Oxford before and during James Meredith's registration at the University of Mississippi, was the reported attitude of the faculty toward the crisis on its campus. According to at least two widely printed newspaper stories written shortly after Meredith's registration, not one faculty member at the University of Mississippi spoke out endorsing integration or advocating compliance with the Federal Court order to admit Meredith either before or during the violence that accompanied his registration. The local chapter of the American Association of University Professors did issue a belated statement defending the conduct of U.S. marshals in their execution of orders. That an entire 200-man faculty of a respected state University should have found it wise, expedient, or necessary to maintain silence in a situation intimately and violently alJecting its own campus, its own students, and the whole structure of constitutional government in its state, is both curious and disturbing. It is impossible to believe that all of these men, educated in a variety of disciplines, could have been indilferent to the struggle going on in front of their olfice doors. One wonders about student interpretation of the faculty silence. I have often wondered what is being taught in the social sciences. Just what does the Political Science Department at the University of Mississippi teach in such courses as Constitutional Law, American Government, and related courses? ++++++++++++++++++++++++ l + ; + JoRDAN s I l + l + ; MEN'S FURNISHINGS ; ; and HA TS of QUALITY ; + + :l: + r-t. ; 1871 The Narrowa :l: Shopping Center + ; ua ❖❖❖❖ ++++++++++++++++++++ ...

The Faculty Flashes will boost each other aboard the beasts and charge briskly (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) onto the basketball court to meet fourteen similarly situated undergraduates. H-hour of the contest is 8 o'clock. The hardy and presumably wellpadded men who have volunteered to ride under the banner of captain Harvey Rosen's burro-mounted team are Al Gilbert, Jerry Berk, Jim Walters, John Adams, Erwin Guetig, Pete Winebrake, Jerry Mohn, Bob Fleming, Bill Meneley, Jeff Gallet, Mike Schwefel, Stu Lawson, and Lou Zampetti. Instructors who have volunteered for Dean George Ralston's Faculty Flashes include John Whitby, Roland Schmidt, Mike Goobic, Girard Gaughn, Dr. Alan Brouch, and Younsu Koo. The Faculty Flashes will draw moral support from a squad of cheerleaders composed of girls from the administration offices. After the · visitors have received their accolades and the vanquished have slunk off, tails between their legs, there will be a record hop to which all, even the losers, are invited. No admission will be charged. The Junior Class, which is sponsoring the annual event, has invited patients from Retreat to view the contest, and Circle K Club is treating twenty-five orphans from St. Stanislaus Orphanage to an evening out plus refreshments.

Both affirmative and negative positions were upheld on the topic "Resolved: That the non-Communist Nations of the World Should Form an Economic Community." Affirmative team, consisting of Douglas Kistler and David Levy, defeated Hunter and New Platz Colleges and Temple University; they lost to Seton Hall. Negative side, composed of Rosemary Rush and James Tredinnick, won over Franklin and Marshall College, New York University, and St. John's of Hill Crest; they~ lost to C. W. Post.

Although a definite time for these informal discussions has not yet been decided upon, the tentative schedule for that segment of the program will be Tuesday morning from 9-11. Further and final details can be obtained from Dr. Detweiler, physics professor. Elsasser was educated in Germany, worked at the Paris Radium Institute, and came to this country in 1936, when he began to concentrate on geophysics. His main interests lie in the transfer of thermal radiation in the atmosphere and in the analysis and theory of the earth's magnetic field. He later became interested in biophysics as well and, as a result, published a book, The Physical Foundation of Biology, in 1958. At present he is engaged in research along these lines. A member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Physical Society, Professor Elsasser has also been honored as a Bowie Medalist by the American Geophysical Union. Supported by the N at ion a 1 Science Foundation, the program, now in .its sixth year, will be open to both community and College.

These words leaping out of the black and white print of a popular periodical caught my eye. After shocking me with this "startling" pronouncement, the author of the article, a noted psychologist, prescribed such remedies for this evil as joining clubs, doing volunteer work, reading (since he didn't specify anything particular I assumed Mad comics would do), bowling, painting, swimming, or archery. To conclude his article this "benefactor of mankind" pronounced the death sentence of our society "above all, keep busy." Keep busy - it's become almost a password of our times. Selfappointed doctors prescribe it all the time for evils ranging from juvenile delinquency to , adult depression. Yet Al Capone and Boss Tweed were both very busy men. Are they to be set up as our ideals? Society would have us believe that the only useful life is one filled with bustling activity. As a result we see people playing as hard as they work - sometimes requiring a week's time to recover from a so-called vacation. Pressured by our peers we rush around at our daily work and then knock ourselves out at night with the Boy Scouts, Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, the Society for the Prevention of the Extinction of the American Buffalo, or any of the many other worthwhile clubs we are told it is our duty and privilege to join. Large firms and even churches sponsor extra-curricular activities such as basket-weaving, finger-painting, softball, ch arm courses, sewing lessons, and a myriad of other relaxing pastimes to keep their employees busy and well-adjusted. But I question whether these activities are truly relaxing. I think we have taken the relaxing out of recreation. I can't remember the last time I picked up a magazine urging me to relax - to lie out in the back yard in a hammock and just dream lazily or to take a walk in the woods and commune with nature. Just try either one of these respites and you'll soon find yourself dragged back to reality by one of your conscientious neighbors who just couldn't bear to let you waste time like that. We run around in circles like socially oriented robots making all the right noises and motions and yet not really aware of what we are doing. It's about time some of us stepped off the merry-goround and decided in what direction we want to go. All this mad whirling leaves no time for soulsearching sessions when one can conclude what the basic issues of his life are and just what is important. Perhaps there will be no great literature, philosophy, or stimulating thought of any kind in the future if man is not permitted time for contemplation. The scions of our society would certainly protest if told that they are discouraging the future artists of our era but try as I may, I can't see any hope for great accomplishments. The potential Thoreaus of our time will be dragged back from their "Walden" and embroiled in Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis, or Boy Scout work more fitted to their sensitive natures and a potential Wordsworth will be lured away from his "Tintern Abbey" with a "Stop looking at that old pile of greens in the dirty river, Bill, we need a fourth for bridge." �Friday, March 15, 1963 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 3 Final Basketball Statistics Released Wilkes-Barre Clinches 3rd Spot; According to recently-released statistics, Harvey Rosen once again led the Colonel cagers in a number of departments.

Bomboy Illustrates Art Of Impressionist Period At 'Forum' Discussion From butterfl ies with pointed tails to original paintings still wet in Tahiti was the ground covered by Bob Bomboy at the Forum recently with his topic "Impressionistic Ar t." He began with the painter Whistler who said, "No man except the artist can effectively judge his own art." Whistler believed that r eality consisted in all that can be observed and expressed scientifically. He then commented on Ruskin who believed the artist had a twofold purpose, t o see and to feel the world around him. Ruskin thought that every thing should be recorded. With the mention of Manet and Monet, Bomboy stated that the a rtist now moved out of the studio a nd into the world; they painted outdoors to capture light. Monet's concept of art became the credo of Impressionism, which was to be modern, to be impartial and impassive, to make no judgments concerning what the artist was seeing, to be individual, to be sincere, and to treat color effectively. Monet's concept was viewed by the Forum in his painting " The National Holiday," which critics considered monotonous and lacking in composition. Monet 's "Lunch on the Grass'' was compared to Manet's painting of the same name. BomQOY stated that one of the chief distinctions between the two works was the effect of color and the cont rast of models. Critics thought these paintings indecent and gaudy because of the brilliance of colors. Both Monet and Manet painted with an "open eye ;" that is, they didn't analyze a subject but painted it exactly as they saw it. Beginning with the painter Pissarro, Bomboy stated that the subject turned to nature and developed a naturalistic st yle. Bomboy then showed paintings by Degas, who made use of pastels. He stated that Degas was more interested in activity, as was seen in his paintings "The Ballet Dancer" and "At the Race Course." Works by Cezanne were then viewed; Bomboy said that Cezanne broke away from Impressionism by using color fo r volume and shape. Bomboy concluded by showing " Never More" by Gauguin and "The Forest " by Van Gogh. The meeting ended on a note of levity when Bomboy mentioned t hat one can buy an original painting - still wet - in Tahiti, fo r a pproximately fi ve dollars. The paintings ar e original Gauguins his son , that is. Mrs. Sandra Bennington is scheduled to speak next week on " The Changing Rol e of Modern ducation ." Panel Views Social Norms The subject of "Focus" for this week will be " Social Practices versus Social Standards on the American College Campus." Panelists include Joyce Cavallini, Bill Carver, Alan Krieger, and Brent O'Connell. Serving as moderator is Gordon E. Roberts. Ear thquakes and their usefulness to cosmologists was explained by Elsasser, when he spoke last Monday evening in a crowded Stark 116 on the " Interior of the Earth." He prefaced his lecture by stating that most of the observable structures of our planet have been studied arduously. The dynamics of the earth's interior still lies in the r ealm of the unknown, however, because we have been unable to explore that region. He went on to explain, with the a id of camera slides, how geophysicists are able to measure and interpret sound waves emanating from an earthquake and travelling through our planet in order to glean information on that "dark area." Following a brief description of the layers of the earth the crust, mantle, core, inner core there was a discussion period and El sasser answered questions of students and faculty members. "The Earth, A Magnet" was the topic of Tuesday's lecture. Elsasser discussed the shift in the earth's magnetic fields, commenting that its north magnetic field was once located in t he southern Pacific Ocean. After his lectures on Monday and Tuesday Dr . Walter M. Elsasser, professo1· in the department of geology at Princeton University, toured the College science department. Noting the new wing being added for graduate researc;h in _p_hysics, biology, and chemistry, he ·commented: "The facilities for The Beacon WILKES COLLEGE vol. xxvn.

Five Perform in Cue 'n' Curtain Selection, 'Look Back in Anger' The controversial drama, Look Back in Anger, will be presented at Chase Theater tonight and tomorrow evening at 8:30. Directed by David Fendrick, the play is a product of John Osborne, a leader in the new school of playwrights, the "angry young men." Look Back in Anger is a love story whose plot centers about a conflict between Jimmie Porter (played by Sumner Hayward), a bitter iconoclast and the original "angry young man," and his gentle but equivocating wife (Sieglinde Vallot). The main theme deals with the twentieth century's loss of values and attempts to show the futility of any attempt to overthrow the apathy of this age. Cliff Lewis, friend and defender of both Jimmie a nd his wife, is played by Martin Brennan, while Marc Hirschman stars as Colonel Redfern. Beverly Hanko portrays Helena Charles. The three-a ct play has only one setting, an attic apartment in the midlands of England, an industrial area near London. The fi ve member cast is composed primarily of veterans, with .only one newcomer. Hirschman, who is Cue 'n ' Curtain's VicePresident, has won the MargoAddie Alumni Award and has appeared in Enemy of the People, Blythe Spirit, and The Duchess of Malfi. Miss Vallot was voted " Best Actress of the Year" in 1962 and starred in Impromptu along with Hayward. Miss Hanko, the newcomer to the group, is, however , not without experience, for she was also a member of St. Mary's Dr amatic Society before entering college. Walter Dexter is in charge of lighting effects while sets for the drama were designed by Edward Lipinski. IDC Plans Airplane Rides, Hampton Trip, Seminar The Inter-Dormitory Council of the College has announced the scheduling of three events for the forthcoming weeks. Planned for Thursday is a sem inar with Dr. Hugo Mailey, chairman of the political science department, as guest speaker. I.D.C. extends an invitation to all and will serve fre e coffee and doughnuts to those in attendance. Next weekend twelve members of the Council will participate in the "Hampton Weekend." Those attending are: Judy Sisco, Adene Siano, Car ol Plonner, Fran Corace, Jody Morrison, Dee Amir, Fred Smithson, Dick Morgan, Nick Alesandro, Ron Ciccone, Alan Gilbert, and Jim Jenkins. The third event will be the sponsoring of airplane rides over the City and the College in connection with the Council's " Student Workday Project." The Project's pur pose is the financing of the Council's "adopted" Greek orphan. �wn.n:s 2 EDITORIAL A VALID COMPLAINT The college library is or should be the focal point of academic life - the place where students can gather reference material they need and use it in a quiet, pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately this is not true of our campus library. Instead of the co-operative, efficient manner one finds at neighboring libraries, we find here a very noticeable lack of interest and lack of co-operation. Often pupils are shunted around as if they were annoying the staff with their "petty requests" for aid. Others are kept waiting for magazines and reference materials because the "desk might be left untended" - perhaps being forced to come back with the same request three or four times. Questions are often met with such disagreeable response that students hesitate to incur displeasure and go elsewhere for their information. Too often visitors are also subjected to the general ungracious treatment As the Beacon has mentioned previously some of the library staff members disregard the "silence" rule and in addition even dismiss students' (for whose use ostensibly the library exists) pleas for quiet with disinterest and disdain. Needless to say this is not true of the entire staff but is true of a few with whom the students have frequent contact. This situation is certainly not a recent development. Instead it has existed long enough for the general student populace to share this adverse opinion of our library. Undoubtedly there are reasons for these deficiencies but certainly some action can be taken to correct this unfortunate aspect of an otherwise fine institution. - BAL LOVE POEM We are not like lovers, you and I. We do not share the glances Or the vision gleaming eye That others share. We do not kiss and linger hand in hand Caressing fingers Do not touch our lips When we do touch.

COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 22, 1963 C1·itic Reviews Osborne Play by Miss Patricia Boyle, Instructor, English Dept. The Wilkes College Cue and Curtain production of John Osborne's "Look Back in Anger" opened Wednesday at Chase Theater. The play will run through Saturday. Osborne's hero, Jimmy Porter, represents the "angry young man" who can find no outlet for his sensitivity and intensity in the valueless world of the twentieth century. Sumner Hayward performs the difficult role of Jimmy with the rare combination of "sensitivity and guts" that the part calls for. He establishes the enigmatic quali- ty of Jimmy's character quickly and effectively in the first act, and he sustains the intensity of the character throughout. He manages to create a Jimmy who is less a symbol of frustration than an honestly frustrated human being. Hayward's performance is impressive; throughout the play he is always genuine, always moving. Sieglinde Vallot, as Jimmy's wife Alison, does a fine job of conveying the impression of passiveness. She is more than adequate in a difficult role that could easily be overshadowed by the stronger character of Jimmy. Martin Brennan is smooth, easy, and professional in the role of Jimmy's friend Cliff. Beverly Hanko, in her first college performance, plays Helena with skill and poise. Marc Hirschman, as Alison's father , turns in a fine performance. As fine as the individual performances are, i n d i v i d u a l performances do not make a play. The effectiveness of the play and of the acting is, to a great extent, due to the director, David Fendrick, who deserves credit for a fin e production of a fine play. The set, designed by Ed Lupinski, is effective, and the lighting, by Walt Dexter, is used with a great deal of skill. Letter to the FAfitor . . • sTuoENT sKETca Dear Fellow Bookborrowers: I, as you, have borrowed books from OUR library many time. In fact, I've made a time study of borrowing a book. It goes as follows: After finally finding the book you want on the bottom shelf of the row (sic), back in the corner of the room next to the ladies' rest room, you proceed downstairs to the main floor of the library. Now comes the most important part. As you reach the bottom step, look at your watch. It will take you 4.85 seconds to walk to the library desk. In another 2.6 seconds, you'll have dug down into your pocket or purse, depending on whether or not you are a male or female. There is a difference you know, and if you don't you'd better find out fast! (This is important to know for it would be quite embarrassing to reach into your purse, if you were a boy. Then you're all set. In another 7.1 seconds your book is stamped out to you, and you have the satisfaction of knowing that you conformed with library regulations. A total of 14.55 seconds were expended. What else could you have done in that time and get such a good feeling? Come-on-now, you're not that fast. Seriously, let's abide by library regulations. They actually do work for your own good. Gerald Moffatt Library Adds 'History Of Wine,' Biography, 'Emerson' to Collection Augmenting the number of volumes on the New Book Shelf in the library, the College recently added Academic Procession, Emerson, and A History of Wine. In the first of these Dr. Henry W. Wriston, a past president of both Lawrence College and of Brown University, reflects on his long and distinguished career. The much discussed but little understood profession of president of an American college or university involves a combination of skills of a scholar, teacher, business manager, fund raiser, and politician. From Academic Procession emerge the courage and spirit of one man who made it his life's work to meet the challenges of such a profession. Dr. Wriston sums up the rewards and trials of a college presidency in the following order: "The opportunities so outweight the heartbreaks that to evade the responsibility would be folly." Ralph Waldo Emerson's "clear and pure voice" appealed greatly to his own and succeeding generations. Emerson, a collection of critical essays on this author, measures his influence on American thought in the twentieth century. It also reveals Emerson's own mind - his biblical view of Man, his indomitable humanism, his strange charm, and his spiritual uniqueness. A preview of the collection includes Robert Frost, "On Emerson;" William James, "Address at the Emerson Centenary in Concord;" and F. 0. Matthiessen, "A Few Herbs and Apples." On an excursion through the German Major Plans To Teach; Wilk Mainlains Diary for 'Novel' Idea by Alis Pucilowski Beneath that unassuming and seemingly quiet exterior of Edward John Wilk beats the heart of a true Buddhist: "Hard work is a poor substitute for genius, so I want to lead a good life to be reincarnated as a genius."

Commenting on this experience, he smiled, "All I can say is you can't describe it unless you've tried it."

He is also content with the fact that there are "few phony, time-worn, useless traditions at Wilkes." When asked if he had any negative views on the College, Wilk said, "In general, there is too much conservatism and too much mediocrity on campus." He likes to read Shakespeare and such classical writers as Homer, Aristophanes, and Virgil. In the field of music, he enjoys Bach and dislikes rock and r oll intensely. Mark Twain is one of his favorite authors aside from the classics; "trashy novelists like Peter De Vries" lead his black list. His future includes teaching, and he has decided to dedicate his teaching career to the preservation of the "th" sound in the English language.

Well, at least the donkeys wore tails! The "affair" was the second annual donkey basketball game sponsored by the Junior Class. If you really want to call it basketball, that's your problem. But what this writer saw was a combination of professional wrestling and the casting for a Twenty Mule Team Borax commercial. Groh Plans Revival Of Cast's 'Music Man' Via Films and Tapes For many students who did not have the opportunity to witness Cue 'n' Curtain's excellent presentation of "Music Man" last fall and for those who would like to see it again, plans are now being made to show films and perhaps to run tapes of the production. These color films were taken by Gordon Rober ts, Executive Alumni Secretary, at ·successive rehearsals, and the tapes were made by Charles and Mary Music Store. Both are approximately two hours long. Although the plans for the films are not yet definite, Alfred Groh, who directed "Music Man," feels that Tuesday night, March 26, would be an ideal date. This would be after Cue 'n' Curtain's present production of "Look Back in Anger" when it would be possible to show them eithe1· in Chase Theater or on the second floor of the cafeteria. This will not be the first time the films are to be shown. They have already been run once before for members of the rp'lay's cast and again shown at several alumni meetings.

She met the great poet while she was attending summer school at the Bread Loaf School of English, at Middlebury College in Vermont.
