The purpose of the Forum is to acquaint interested high school students with the Education Program at the College. Members of the club will be there to answer questions that might be asked, and to acquaint the students with the different areas and opportunities open to the teacher. A secondary purpose is to aid existing FTA Clubs and to arouse interest in the formation of these clubs elsewhere. Chairman Thomas Crop announced that invitations have been sent to area high schools and many have announced that they would attend; he stated that this year's prog ram promises to be as successful as last year's. The t entative program of the Forum includes a speaker and discussion groups. Refreshments will be served. Field Trip "The education of the deaf-mute child is a rapidly evolving program," said Miss Helen O'Donnell, director of the Pennsylvania State Oral School in Scranton, to a group of 20 students who toured the school this week as an Education Club field trip. "It is an important educational area with vast opportunities and badly in need of recruits." The school, which presently enrolls about 150 dormitory students, is the only completely state supported school of its kind. Officials of the school, along with representatives of the Pennsylvania Office of Rehabilitation, apply a complete battery of psychological, auriologi- cal, and audiological tests to each applicant before admission. The school can accommodate only a few of the great number who wish to enroll, for pupils there, ranging in age from 3 to 18, receive an individualized education and the benefits of modern equipment, specially trained instructors, and new and comfortable living quarters. Following the tour, Miss O'Donnell again stressed the need for more t eachers in oral education. She said that scholarships are numerous and there is a wide variety of opportunities for the graduate. Some special courses are required beyond a B.S. in Education, and in Pennsylvania they are offered at the University of Pittsburgh and DePaul Institute. For more information, Miss O'Donnell suggested that anv interested student write to the editor of American Annals of the Deaf, Galaudet College, Washington 2, D. C. I Honor Seminar to Be Held A Seminar on the Honor Code will be held Thmsday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. in the cafeteria. Two seminars have already been held and t his will be the final seminar held concerning this topic. Some of the t entative propositions of the Honor Code are: students shouldn't give or receive any information concerning a test or a quiz; a student must report any infraction of this code to an Honor Committee, which will be comp?sed of seven members: three semors, two juniors, and two sophomores; decision of the Court will be det ermined by a unanimous vote of the members. For the first time in the College's history seniors will join in the small discussion groups. In previous years the seminars were attended by alumni only. This innovation, according to alumni secretary Gordon Roberts, will "provide an opportunity for our graduating seniors (and future alumni) to meet alumni of the College who are "out in the field". In addition to enabling seniors to learn of their fields of study through contact with those working in each field, the group meetings have a three-fold purpose: first, to afford alumni an opportunity to meet with other College alumni w~o are ~ the ~ame field; second, to ~rovide an opportunity for alumni to exchange professional views with one another; and third, Representatives Enter Band Festival; Collegians Win Honors in Eisteddfod Students from thirty-six Pennsylvania colleges and universities have been selected to participate in the 16th Annual Intercollegiate Band Festival to be held at Bloomsburg State College. Representatives from this campus include seniors, Robert Kundreskas, who will play Clarinet I, and David John Will on Bass; juniors, David S. Jones, Trombone III, and Donivee Miller, French Horn I; sophomore, Thomas L. Pirnot, Clarinet I; and freshman, Tina Koopmans, Oboe I. The students traveled to Bloomsburg yesterday and began the r ehearsal which extends over a threeday period. At eight o'clock tomorrow evening, March 30, they will present their concert at the Bloomsburg State College. Guest conductor for the evening will be William Revelli of the University of Michigan. The performance is open to the public. I For the third consecutive year the Women's Chorus and the Collegians gained top. honors in the E~steddfod, a musical contest held m Edward~ville_ on Ma~ch 16.

In keeping with Welsh tradition, the Edwardsville Memorial Church has sponsored the Eisteddfod for the past seventy-four years. Under the direction of Mr. Clifford Balshaw, the Wyoming Valley Oratorio Society will sponsor an all-Beethoven program on Passion Sunday, March 31. The concert will present four great choralsymphonic masterworks by Beethoven. They are "Christ on the Mount of Olives," "Benedictus," "Elegy," and "Overture to the Ballet of Prometheus." Participants include the Oratorio Society's four-part chorus, prominent soloists, and a full Romantic Symphony Orchestra. The concert, to be held in St. Stephen's Church, will begin at 3 :30 p.m. It is free to the general public, and nominal contributor cards wiJJ insure seats. One can obtain such cards at the College Bookstore. I GORDON ROBERTS IDC Sponsors Flight To Raise Funds for Zoes Details of the Flight for Zoes Day were announced at Tuesday's IDC meeting. The flight will take place from Forty Fort Airport, April 7, from 12:30 till 6:00 p.m. Transportation for dormitory students or those without cars will be provided from Weiss Hall. The cost of the ride will be $2.00 per person. The flight will be over the College and the Greater WilkesBarre area. Proceeds from the flight will be set aside in trust for Zoes, the !DC-sponsored foreign orphan, to be used when he arrives here. Students under 21 years of age will be required to have the written consent of their parents. Permission forms may be obtained from any IDC representative or at the bookstore. Liability coverage is provided by the owners of the aircraft. The aircraft used in this endeavor are the same ones used for the transportation of corporate personnel and will be flown by fully licensed professional pilots. A rain date has been set for Sunday, Ap1·il 21. Dinner Dance to Be Held The Junior Class Dinner Dance is slated to be held Saturday night, March 30. John Campbell, assisted by co-chairman Gail Roberts, is in charge of the affair.

The new cafeteria which opened this week is really a tribute to its designers and its contractors. Sturdy, comfortable, and well-equipped, it is an enjoyable place for lunch. But then, so was the Commons when it first opened. Over the years the Commons has remained sturdy and well-equipped. The capable staff has taken care of that. During those same years it has gotten noisy and ransacked. Students have taken care of thaL No allusion is here made concerning the garbage - banana peels and half-eaten sandwiches - which day students leave as mementoes on tables. Specific reference is made, instead, to the seventy-five chairs which were broken this year, · and to the tables which have been mutilated by cigarette burns and sentimental scratches. How anyone, or groups of "anyones", can be so destructive as to smash seventy-five chairs in one year is beyond comprehension. This newspaper office did not receive word of seventy-five "accidents" occurring to the cafeteria in that designated time period. Students might keep in mind that the damaging of properly is a crime. Disrespect, too, is a crime - a social one. And those men and women who make up the cafeteria crew deserve respect. A staff is· employed in the Snack Bar, as is presently employed in the Commons, to assure students a clean dining area. This staff is an industrious, pleasant crew who performs duties well. They deserve the cooperation of students who avail their services. The very least a student can do is to deposit his leftover lunch in containers placed in strategic spots (as they say in the movies) throughout the cafeteria. "Outsiders" seem to think that college students are sloppy. Why prove it? ---: GMZ To Meet Those Who Know What better opportunity does one need than to meet those men who are experienced? Taking this question in hand the Alumni Office has undertaken the stifling task of contacting alumni throughout the United States, inviting them to return to the College to meet undergraduates in informal discussion. For seniors this meeting will be of infinite value. How many can truly say that they know what's expected of them in their areas of endeavor? Many have only a hazy idea of the work they will encounter after graduation. Many, too, are deliberating between graduate school and employment. In meeting "those who know", the seniors may be able to resolve much of their apprehension. The seminar will also serve the purpose of renewing acquaintances among alumni And what undergraduate has not at some time wondered what becomes of a graduate when he "enters the work-a-day" world? Speaking of this world and its practical implications, seniors may keep in mind that many of those alumni who will be at the seminar are those who will interview jobhunting June graduates.

ON THE BANDSTAND with Hal Kistler In spite of innumerable attempts by many well-known jazz artists to cash in on the bossa nova, it looks as though the combination of the samba and jazz might survive. A hard core of serious artists such as Stan Getz and Herbie Mann have been doing some very nice things and with them, lies the future of bossa nova. (This is not to imply that they haven't been amply rewarded for their efforts.) One of the reasons, I feel, that the bossa nova hasn't become more popular than it is, is the lack of a standardized dance which may be used with the music. A new form, such as bossa, to gain widespread popularity, almost always needs a popular dance. The problem here is not the lack of one, but the fact that there are too many versions and no one has become widely accepted. In spite of this we ::ire h•wing more and more requests in the clubs to play bossa nova. Unfortunately, most people associate it only with "Desifinado," the tune which first made bossa nova popular. There are many, many other fine bossa nova tunes, particularly those which have been done in recent albums by Herbie Mann. Whatever the futur e holds for bossa nova, the form as a form has done much for the field of jazz. The works of such fin e artists a s Stan Getz, Charlie Byrd, Bud Shank, and Herbie Mann have been heard by many people who would have never been exposed, (or wouldn't have exposed themselves) to good jazz had bossa nova not been born. Why, if this keeps up, we may even be able to play jazz in the night clubs again! A POEM I love And love is good. Should Chance make other seem the case I'll not believe. Should others circumstance deceive, Not I. It matters not What cries of "Fool" resound, For I have found My love. -Clark Line Friday, March 29, 1963 Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I too agree that a rev1s1on of the College library policy is in order along with a change in attitude on the pa1t of a few staff members. These two undesirables poor management and uncourteous behavior - combine to produce an atmospher e of tension which is not by any means conducive to proper study. The arrangement of having only one employee on duty at the ma.in desk is an utterly ridiculom o;,e. This one person, who has only two hands by the way, is expected to check books in and out, make trips to the locked periodical room, find the periodicals, and at the same time render aid to students . With a schedule such as this something (or should I say someone) is goi!tg to suffer. And, quite obviously, it has been the students, who are told in a mi serable tone of voi.ce, "1 can't leave the desk a lone," or words to that effect. It seems to me that a college with over 7 ½ million dollars' worth of tangible assets should be able to have at least two employees on hand to cope with the needs of 1200 students. A simpler solution could be found by allowing the students free access to periodicals as is done in the Osterhout Library, for example. If the system works well at an institution which a greatly diversified public employs, it certainly should be successful at this ;nsti. tution, where the bond of education joins all together. Although I sympathize with the library employees upon whom these policies are forced by those in higher positions, I do not condone their miserable attitudes toward the students, whom they regard as annoying when r equested for aid. I suggest that these one or two bellicose individuals stop before making snide remarks an<l realize that it is to these very students that they owe their jobs. Why not have an official selfservice library and eliminate all custodians? In practice we do have a self-service library, you know. "Help yourself and stop at the checkout stand on the way out." _ this is the exact operation in effect. In any case, there is no excuse for outright l'Udeness. Good manners frowns on such conduct. Wilkes College Library, wake up!

The event was sponsored by the WilkesBarre Women's Division of the State of Israel Bonds. Local young women modeled these fashions amidst a setting of Grecian pillars draped with pink and blue chiffon. Marilyn Van Derbur, former Miss America, was fashion commentator. Outstanding among the Israel creations was a swim suit of peacock blue and gold accompanied by a reversible cape. A matching coat and dress ensemble called "The Rose of Sharon" showed tiny pink roses strewn on a black background. Silver and grey complimented each other in a beautiful floor length lace gown called "Caesarea." A highlight of the Israel portion of the show was a ball gown in antique gold with a matching stole. Designed by Marc Bohan for the House of Dior was a brick red suit with side-buttoned jacket and Aline skirt. A black and white check suit dress was boldly belted in black patent leather. Mare Bohan injected surprise into a black broad. tail coat trimmed with a white mink collar which reversed to a full length white mink coat. A sophisticated cocktail dress in black "La Nuit" was beaded on the bodice and at the hemline. It is interesting to note that each of the creations has its own undergarments to be worn exclusively with the individual creation. The Dior-Israel Collection has been shown in Paris, London, and New York. Wilkes-Barre is the first city of under· a million population in which it has been shown. Beauty Queen Commentates Former Miss America, Marilyn Van Derbur, who won the coveted title in 1958, is a tall blond with sparkling green eyes and a dimpled smile. Naturalness is the keynote to her appearance. She wears only lipstick and eyeshadow and does her own hair. For the evening of the show she was attired in a red brocade dress styled with a scoop neckline, short sleeves, and a sheath skirt. Her only jewelry was a single strand of pearls. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Colorado, Miss Van Derbur is a combination of naturalness, charm, and enthusiasm. When she is not on tour, she can be seen on the Bell Telephone Hour, and each year acts as a hostess at the Miss America Pageant. vice with a $3400 education. Sincerely, Disgusted Student (Name Withheld Upon Request) P.S.-Perhaps the great number of missing books can be attributed to the students' unwillingness to deal with these unco-operative staff members - rather than risking an embarrassing scene at the desk, many students simply walk out with their unchecked bo0k and then are afraid to return it fe r I fear of apprehension. I I * * '' Dear Editor: Much discussion has occurred during the past several months regarding the possibility of the College adopting an Honor Code. Two seminars have been held at which the students expressed strong opinions - both for and against an Honor Code. The discussion ineluded an exploration of the schools with existent Honor Codes. The specific Honor Code as drawn up by the Honor Code Committee was also under discussion. The conclusion at each of the seminars was that each student on the College campus should be acquainted with the present controversy. Each student's opinion is essential. The Honor Code as drawn up is still a starting point. It proposes that students, in order to encourage maturity and individual responsibility, adopt a code by which they will be "on their honor." Discussion has also centered ab~ut the role of teacher participa-• t1on und~r s~ch a co~e. If stndents beheve m and decide to ado~t an Honor Code, the next step ~,,11 be a request to the teachers askmg _ for their help in administering non-proctored exams. . . . There ar: other . prov1s1ons m the cod: - _this one 1s t~e center and n~a~nsprmg from which ot~er prov1s1ons c_ome.

We are askmg for co-operati~n. We :3-re not _(to clear up one m1sc~ncept1on) puttmg faculty members m the background, so to speak. The main point of such a code is that its success or failure rests on the students and their acceptance of responsibility. It is up to the individual to make such a code a success. Arguments have been proffered against the code. Those against it feel it is not workable and students can't be depended upon. Others say that three other colleges have honor codes. The next seminar on April 4 will cover some of these points. The establishment of such a code has been recognized by both its proponents and opponents as being a step towards a college atmosphere stressing the individual his responsibilities and his goals. Express your opinion at the April Seminar. It is from this reaction that the next step will be taken. What the next step is to be is up to you, the students. Sincerely, Gail Roberts Dear 1976 Wilkes College Library Card Holders: Last week in this column, Jerry Moffatt pointed out a couple of interesting phenomena. First, that if a boy wishes to be generally accepted in twentieth century American Society, he should carry a purse, and secondly, that it takes, hyperbolically speaking, only a few seconds to check out a book at the library. I suppose we know what Jerry was saying in his story - abide by the rules "and all that." But what if you don't find the book you want on that shelf "next to the ladies' rest room?" And suppose Miss Lex has no record of its being checked out? Well, you've got trouble, my friend. Someone has thoughtlessly borrowed a book illegally and has left you to com(continued on page 6) �Friday, March 29, 1963 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 3 Blood Donor Day Scheduled April 8; Students Urged lo Improve Response On April 8, the day scheduled for blood donor day, it is hoped that every effort will be made by the students and faculty to make this appeal one hundred per cent successful, according to Dean Ralston. Organized through dorm presidents and class officers, the campaign will be conducted from 9 :45 a.m. to 3 :45 p.m. in the gym. There will be sufficient doctors, nurses, and equipment available so that there will be no delay or individual tie up for more than one-half hour. All donors will be given an appointment sheet so that they can indicate their preferences as to the Manuscript to Present Bergman's 'Magician' A medical staff examines those who intend to donate blood for the annual drive on campus. Students under 21 years of age have one week in which to secure parental permission. Secondary Education Topic al Forum; Culturally Deprived Person Discussed "The Roles of Secondary Education" was the topic discussed by Mrs. Sandra Bennington at the Forum last week. Elementary education, she stated, was formulized in the nineteenth century. It followed a pattern begun in 1635, with the development of the Latin Grammar School in Boston. Limited for the most part to the study of the classics, this school had as its purpose university preparation. With the increase of population, more schools were needed, and thus was created the academy. Similar to the grammar school, the academy had the same purpose and added that of preparation for teaching. The academy could not meet the demands of population increase, thus the high school was begun about the same time as the Civil War was being fought. The turn of the twentieth century marked the beginning of a different attitude shown toward secondary education. The aim of education is the preparation for citizenship, which Mrs. Bennington termed "questionable." Mrs. Bennington then stated that European and American education cannot be compared. "The purpose of European education is to achieve a high standard of scholarship; this leaves no legitimate basis for comparison of education in both countries," reasoned Mrs. Bennington. She then discussed the problem of the culturally deprived student in American schools. She said, " Reading is his poorest subject. One of the main reasons for this is the high mobility rate," she stated. Education today has taken on many roles, that of deciding dietary habits among them. Mrs. Bennington concluded with the question, "Has society asked too much of public education?" Next week, John B. Hall is scheduled to speak and demonstrate " The Guitar." Winners Named Approximately 400 people visited the Art Department Exhibit held last week at the West Market Street Art Gallery. Ten works were sold and brought a total of $150 to their producers. Jan Pethick won first prizes for his works in both the art and sculpture categories. The' following also received awards: Art second prize, Bob Ford; honorable mention, Jane Kindervater and Bill Schwab; Sculpture honorable mention, John Karnan and Bob Hrynkiw. The exhibit was sponsored primarily to encourage interest in the fine arts among the students here. DINNER DANCE JCC Seeks New Members The College division of the Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual membership drive from noon April 1 to Monday, April 8. This organization's purpose is based on service to the community and to the College and hence is not a profit-making or socially oriented club. The J.C.'s welcome all male candidates who can fill the following qualifications: he must have a good moral character, be a fully matriculated student, and he must have at least forty-six credit hours of academic work. All applicants can register at the J.C. table on the first floor in the cafeteria between April 1 and April 9.

The Manuscript will present a film, The Magician. directed by Ingmar Bergman, tonight in Stark 116. The first showing will begin at 7 p.m. and the second showing at 9:30 p.m. Max Von Sydow has the title role as Dr. Vogler, a man with a , questionable reputation, while Ingrid Thulin plays his wife. Other characters that appear are: an ancient cronie, a bluff business manager, and a coachman. When these people arrive at the town, they are placed under house arrest and are examined by Gunner Bjornstrand, a medical man. The events that take place in the house the night of the arrest and the next morning comprise a horror film that will "cast doubt on our most ordinary senses." Bosley Crowther of the New York Times has this to say about the picture, "The Magician is full of extraordinary thrills that flow and collide on several levels of emotion and intellect . . . rich in comedy and melodrama as well as deep philosophical thought, and wonderful in its graphic details, it is a thoroughly exciting film." time they wish to donate. Donations will be accepted from all persons physically capable of donating blood. It should be remembered however that all persons over 18 years but under 21 years of age must have a parental consent slip signed and presented at the gym before their donation will be accepted. This is very important, (since it occurred last time) that many pledges were refus ed because those involved lacked consent slips. At the blood day conducted last fall, the students and faculty donated a total of 130 pints, which incidentally was an increase of three hundred per cent over the number of pints contributed at the previous donor day. Although this is a remarkable improvement, when we consider the size of our college, we should be giving a total of at least 250 pints before we consider our drive a success. If anyone has any questions at all concerning blood donation, they are asked · to contact Dean Ralston. Cheerleaders Hold Trials Cheerleaders for next year's squad will be selected next week. Practice sessions have been held Wednesday and Thursday of this week and the final practice will be Monday, April 1, at 4:00 in the gym. Any girl who is interested in trying out and who has not been able to attend previous practices should be sure to attend this last session. Tryouts will be held Tuesday, April 2, at 4:00 in the gym. Those people who will act as judges for tryouts will be the Executive Board of the Women's Activities Association, Mrs. Saracino, Mr. Reese, Mrs. Ahlborn, Millie Gittens, Mr. Hoover, and the present cheerleading squad. Muis' Plans Include Foreign Travel "A professor's dream - a few hours of lecture and many hours for scholarly work" is what awaits Dr. and Mrs. Mui in their new posts as visiting lecturers at Aixen-Provence in France. In a recent interview the couple disclosed that they will assume these new roles at the Institute for American Universities in August. But their traveling will begin before that time. On the heels of final exams and grades will come a hectic packing of books and records in p re p a ration for the couple's trip to the University of British Columbia where Dr. Mui will lecture on British history to Canadian school teachers. Since he experienced the first reaction of Canadians to a Chinese teaching English history last summer at the University of Alberta he is "not too disturbed" about the outcome. Research on Tea During their year at the Institute the Muis will lecture - 3 hours a week - and do research on two seemingly diverse subjects, tea and coal. The trade and consumption of tea in Britain - their pet project which they started in 1956 - has led them throughout Britain and is now taking them to France. They are interested not only in the origin of tea drinking in Britain but also in the kind of people who drank the East Indian beverage and the geographical distribution of these consumers. Tea drinking may have been a "status symbol" to the early British! As might be expected Dr. and Mrs. Mui approach the subject from slightly different angles the historian and the sociologist but they find that this is a healthy situation. They contend that any two people approach a subject differently and that they act as a check on one another - probably catching a lot of points they'd miss working separately. Their friendly raillery on the points of difference between history and sociology and the comparative advantages of British and American libraries, etc. shows the spirit with which they engage in their research - often m u tu a 11 y compromising somewhere between their diverging points of view. Their search has already led them down a variety of paths through innumerable lib1·aries both in the U.S. and Britain, through the records of shopkeepers (big and small) householders, the famous East Indian Co., and aristocratic households. Some of their most exciting research has been done in musty, old, uncatalogued files and chests where they have experienced the thrill of uncovering documents untouched for hundreds of years. They reminisce laughingly about the hours spent in the Public Record Office - "a monument to British traditional preference to be uncomfortable" an enormous, drafty room heated only by a small fireplace where both, bundled up in bulky scarfs, coats, boots, and gloves, searched through old trunks full of documents and soon forgot the cold in the heat of discovery. Year in England The following year will find the c o up I e "shivering in England, searching among the dusty old customs records of the outports" where they hope to culminate their research so that they can publish their findings. They have already published two articles: "William Pitt and the Enforcement of the Commutation Act, 1784-1793," and Dr. and Mrs. Mui "The Commutation Act and the British Tea Trade, 1784-1793." In addition Dr. Mui will be busy preparing for publication his study of the nationalization of the coal industry in Britain. The careers of the couple have many parallel points in both their early and later years. Both Columbia · graduates they have spent much of their careers on campus - both arriving during the post-war days, Mrs. Mui in 1948 and Dr. Mui in 1949. This was the first teaching post for both British born Mrs. Mui, who came to this country as a child, and Chinese born Dr. Mui, who came to the U.S. as a graduate student and decided to stay after the Communists took over his country. Dr. Mui tells the story of one of his Chinese friends who decided to "go back.'' Before he left for China the friend arranged to inform Dr. Mui of the situation in his home country by means of a photograph he would send him. If conditions were favorable he would stand for the photograph; if not he would lie down. The photograph came. He was lying down. After a short period of separation from the college - Dr. Mui as evaluator for the Voice of America and the then Miss Holbrook as definer for MerriamWebster's controversial Unabridged Dictionary, the couple not only returned to the campus but "coupled their forces." As Mrs. Mui puts it "Rumor had it that they eloped that January!" Ironically enough Mrs. Mui lectured on the pitfalls of the "romantic complex" the very week she changed her name. �4 WlI.KES COLLEGE BEACON Time Out! by JIM JACKIEWICZ, Sports Editor Renewed furor concerning the sport of boxing has arisen over the tragic and untimely death of former featherweight champion Davy Moore. Moore died following a bout for the featherweight championship as he was knocked out in the tenth round by Sugar Ramos. It has been found that Moore sustained a bruise at the base of the brain caused by his head hitting the bottom ring-rope, as he was floored by Ramos. After the fight ,Moore walked to his dressing room, but collapsed forty minutes later. He died in a few days. The event of Moore's death has been coupled with the death of welterweight boxer Benny Paret several months ago. The combined tragedies of Moore and Paret have set off a reaction aimed at banning of the sport which will last for some time. Bitter indictments of pugilism. have been hurled from s u c h widespread sources as Govemor Pat Brown of California (where the Moore fight took place) , the Vatican newspaper, and, of course, the irrepressible Paul Harvey. Govemor Brown has initiated legislative measures in the Califomia legislature that would ban boxing in that state. Baseball Team Opens at Juniata; Joe Kruczek to Get Starting Nod Tuesday will mark the opening day of the Wilkes baseball season as the Colonel hardballers travel to Central Pa. to meet the Indians of Juniata College. Coach Roland Schmidt's squad have been engaging in outdoor practice sessions all this week and are quickly rounding into shape. Prior to this week's practice at the old Artillery Park field, the team had been training in the gym due to the adverse weather conditions and the condition of the playing field. This situation resulted in the team's having little more than a week of actual batting practice which is so vital to successful baseball. The players, however, have been improving at a steady rate and are looking forward to another successful campaign. Righthander Joe Kruczek will probably get the starting assignment on opening day. The hardthrowing veteran pitched the openThe Vatican denounced boxing as "murder", "a crime" ing game for the Wi!kesmen last which takes human life for entertainment and personal gain. Harvey commented (emotionally) with similar pronouncements. Friday, March 29, 1963 I It is true that Davey Moore was beate· 1 badly by Ramos. It is also true that Emile Griffith attacked Benny Paret with a more savage onslaught. Both fights were for championships and in each match the vanquished lost everything. It is agreed that both of these fights resulted in horrible and shameful waste of human life. But, is boxing inherently evil? I think not. The highly organized sport of boxing is fundamental, a basic tenet of human society. It appears to satiate some of the animal, natural desires and tendencies in the human being. Throughout history men have fought. What, then, could be more in accord with human nature, than a pair of superbly conditioned human specimens vying with each other, using nothing more than their bodies as weapons- hold his own with a bat. Ron played at first most of last season and is expected to improve as a result of that experience. Although it is not definite, Bill Mainwaring will get a shot at the second base job. Second has been a problem for Coach Schmidt since he has no experienced men to take over the job. From all indications, it appears that Mainwaring will get the role because of his defensive abilities. The third base and shortstop posts will be filled by veteran s Lou Zampetti and Tom Trosko. Both are slick fielders and solid hitters. Zampetti is always a threat to unload an extra-base hit and last year was the leading slugger on the team. Catching chores will go to Len Yankosky who will be backed up by big Len Rishkofski. Both backGrohowski tags one in practice stops saw considerable action last season and have improved noticeover their competitors for these ab ly. The centerfield post will be positions. Among the other outfield candidates are Gus Martin, Jim Kumiega, and Chips Reilly. Also a candidate for a picket post is big Bob Cavalari who is slowl y rounding into shape. The "Ox" has the potential to become the leading power hitter on the squad and is currently working hard to get his timing set. Rounding out the pitching corps for the Colonels are veterans Bob Fleming, Nick Gentile and Mike Schwefel, and newcomers Richie Klick and Tari Eckhart. 1-M NOTICE Any team interested in intramural softball turn in team roster to Mr. Reese in gym as soon as possible. Leagues will begin play as soon as enough teams apply and schedules are drafted. Millions of people will pay a good deal of money to witness such spectales. The fight fan enjoys seeing two men hit each other, each using a variety of ingrained skills to defeat the other. Due to the natural aspects of fighting and the witnessing of such combat. we do not believe that it is evil for others to make money through exploiting the physical skills of athletes. If such exploitations were . evil, then the whole of professional athletics would be evil . Boxing has basic functions in another area of society. It is a salvation from the searing torrent of economic and social prejudice to which a large segment of our society is subjected. Through boxing and the other professional sports these suppressed people may free themselves from the plight; discrimination. Young men who are willing to wager their bodies and mental abilities for a few years have the hopeful prospect of raising themselves from this cesspool of prejudice. Over. the years, the Jews, Italians, Poles, and subsequently the Negroes and Latins have sought this convenient road out of the wildemess of social isolation. We celebrate the victory of these young men and they will continue to draw our adulation as long as they promise us enough in the manner of regulated mayhem. Perhaps it would be well for the advocates of the prohibition of the pugilistic sport to look behind the sensational headlines that go with boxing. They would find countless stories of the phenomenal rise in stature of numerous boxers. Such a story is the one concerning the present heavyweight champion Charles Sonny Liston who raised himself from bare subsistence as one of seventeen children living on a sandy patch in Arkansas to an international figure. Through the shortcomings of the state of Arkansas. Sonny was allowed to grow up without the ability to read or write. This cannot be blamed on boxing . It is known that Sonny has a criminal record, but this is likely due to the biological necessity of eating. There is not much demand for illiterates in the labor market. So, Sonny, the "dark scowling giant" became a fighter and probably the most efficient one in existence. Stories such as Liston's are common in ring annals. Those who would ban boxing should look at the biographies of such fighters as Johnny Saxton, a disturbed kid who grew up in the Brooklyn slums, Carmen Basilio, who rose from a small onion patch to become world champion, Gene Fullmer, a Morman who drew himself up from the Utah copper mines, Archie Moore, another ex-convict who righted himself. and many, many more. We agree that boxing has its seamy side, but we also contend that it is both basic and necessary. Ban boxing? be next.

Always displaying exceptional control, Joe was the most consistent hurler on last year's squad. Ron Grohowski will probably hold down the first base job opening day. The tall, lean sophomore is above-average defensively and can filled by fleet Matt Himlin. Matt is always a high average hitter and is perhaps the most talented picket on the team. In addition to his hitting and defensive skills, the lean junior is also an excellent baserunner.

Based on the Nobel Prize winning novel by Andre Gide, this fihn version won three awards at the Cannes International Film Festival for the Best French Production, Best Acting, and Best Musical Score. STUDENT SKETCH 18th Century Comedy According to Mr. Groh, director of Cue 'n Curtain, the response of the audience was favorable indeed to the successful presentation of 'Look Back in Anger.' There w ere full houses at each performance, and it is regretted that some people had to be turned away due to lack of seating space. This problem will be alleviated by the construction of the Fine Arts building. The seating arrangement will be "comfortable as well as ample.'' Casting for the next production, "The Rivals," is well under way. The cast, which will consist of eight men and five women, still has roles to be filled. The opportunity for parts in any of Cue 'n Curtain's productions is open to all students. "The Rivals" is an eighteenth century comedy. When compared with "Look Back in Anger," its outlook is one of fun and it is objective rather than subjective. Dr. Edgerton had suggested that presentation of this period would be beneficial to those students who are enrolled in the World Literature classes. Mr. Groh also stated that "even though the audiences at recent performanc es have been large, a greater percentage of the student body is encouraged to attend. More students should allow themselves to discover that each presentation is an exciting adventure in the theatre. It should also be noted that there are som e highly talented and capable people on campus."

What is disturbing is that similar incidents have occurred before this, but apparently no steps have been taken to curb them. I would like to suggest some possible steps to prevent the continuance of these losses. First of all, there is an obvious need for more coatracks. W'ith coats in heaps around the bases of the few racks that are there, it would be easy for someone so inclined to take advantage of the situation. Also, leaving the lights on in the area near the door might discourage potential purse-snatchers. One other possibility might be to establish some kind of checking service for purses. Many girls would probably be very willing to pay perhaps a nickel for the guarantee that their valuables could not be taken. Whether these specific proposals are employed or not is irrel evant.

The battle was decided in favor of the harp when a man w h o manufactured harps started giving them away to the aristocracy, and the guitar began to be considered plebian. The discussion continued with a presentation of three guitars: a Spanish guitar, listed at $125; a concert guitar, $36; an electric guitar, priced at $300. Hall then listed four fields in which the guitar is used: popular, everyday use, the jazz field, rock 'n roll, and the field of folk music.

FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1963 Blood Donors' Day Goal S~t at 250-plus Pints; Mmors Need Consent The goal in the blood drive to be held in the gym on Monday, April 8, is a total of at least 250 pints. Last semester, students and faculty donated 130 pints of blood, a three hundred per cent increase over the previous donor day. Dean Ralston stated that he hopes we gain such a "remarkable increase" on Monday. The campaign will begin at 9 :45 a.m. and will extend through 3 :45 p.m. Donors can obtain appointment sheets so that they can contribute blood at a time most convenient for them. Dean Ralston asks all donors to appear at the time stated on the appointment sheets. If they do so, no one will be delayed longer than one-half hour. A sufficient amount of doctors, nurses, and equipment will be on hand to keep the campaign running according to schedule. Although any person who is physically capable of giving blood will be allowed to donate, Dean Ralston reminds all those who are over 18 years but under 21 years of age that they must have one of their parents sign a consent slip. A slip is most important to these people for unless they present one at the gym on Monday, they will have their donation rejected. Focus Topic on Unionism This week "Focus" will take up the subject of "Trade Unionism in America." Participating in the discussion will be Kathy DeAngelis, John Campbell, Alan Krieger, and Marshall Brooks. Dean of Men George F. Ralston will act as moderator. The program will c o n t i n u e throughout the Easter vacation. "The Effect of Unemployment on the National Economy" will be discussed on April 14 by Joyce Cavallini, Alan Krieger, Bill Carver, and Brent O'Connell. On April 21, Gloria Zaludek, Jim Hansen, Jerry Moffatt, and DougBennington will consider "Social Practices as Opposed to Social Standards on the American College Campus."

Cinderella Ball lo Be Formal Again; To End al Stroke of Midnight Highlighting the spring social season will be the Cinderella Ball to be held Friday night, May 10, in the Gym. This will be the fourteenth annual Ball sponsored by the Student Government. Gene Dempsey's Orchestra will play for dancing. Two important changes will be made from last year's Ball. This year the dance will be formal instead of semi-formal. More important will be the time change. In the past the dance has been held from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. This year, however, the dance will be over at midnight. The change is necessitated by the fact that most people leave after the climax of the evening, the crowning of Cinderella at 11 :30. Student Government must then pay the orchestra for the extra hour of dancing, even though the Ball is unofficially over. Also, in the past, dorm students were not given the opportunity to go out afterwards. This extra hour will enable them to have some free time before they must return to Descendant of Butler Visits College Dormitory �2. WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 5, 1963 Q)ITORIALS- TRES CHIC Swim Suit Styles Vary From Skirt to Sheath; 'Oliver' Sets Hair Flair We're Not Mentioning Blood Donor Day For those readers who are interested, there will be no editorial written this week on Blood Donor Day. Individuals who are interested in helping society by donating their life's blood will do so without urging. Weaklings, scarety-cats, and apatheic people will not donate. It's as simple as that. . And it really is simple - donating blood, that is. In a matter of minutes, the time required to donate a pint of blood, one can know that he has helped his fellowman. Students should bear in mind: a service offered them by the College through the Red Cross. Any student, whether or not he.. has been a blood donor, may obtain, through a request submitted to the dean, blood needed for a member of his family or for a friend. If one life be a little gleam of Time between two eternities, how satisfying it is to know that you have helped a life gleam a little brighter. - G.M.Z. by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG College Board Mern Swimwear styles for '63 are many and varied. Both one-piece and two-piece swim suits will be equally popular. Among suit styles are the belted blouson, the swim dress with a little skirt, and the sheath suit. Straps are wider than usual. Swim suits are shown with many d i f f e r e n t necklines. Square, scooped, and V shaped necklines will flatter figures on resort beaches. Paisley prints, stripes, and prints atop stripes are painted on swimwear creations. The two most talked about fabrics are knits and patent leather in red, yellow, black, or coffee. Beach dresses to ward off breezes include the toga, the straight, simple tunic, long pullovers, smock tops, and classic tailored shirts. From the smash English musi<;:al "Oliver!" comes a new summer hairdo the "Cockney Clip." This is the basic cut: in layers, with a shag of banks and side wisps tapered to your face. A Time for Thought_ A time for introspection is the Eastertide. Midst the anxiety ctnd excitement of the world man must withdraw from society to look at himseli Eastertide is the time for man to see himself in relation to e'ternity, a~d in relation to other men. Family and friends are drawn together in understanding and love. If ever a season is considered in terms of brotherhood, this is that season.

Bennington The Far-Out Right, Part. I Throughout the socal and political history of the United States, radical extremist movements have arisen on the left ·(in response to authoritarian ideals) and on the right (in resp_o nse to liberal ideals). Radical movements, resulting from various social, economic and political changes so drastic and basic that leaders and followers in such movements may bypass established political institutions and traditional, democratic political ground rules in order to establish their v:alue systems. Currently, the most vocal and extreme movement of dissatisfaction in America is the " radical right," a reactionary highly emotional form of conservatism which is engaged in a "holy crusade" against international and domestic Communism . . (The radical right should be distinguished from the more familiar . moderate, responsible American conservatism. ) Radical right organizations, such as the John Birch Society, Christian AntiCommunist . Crusade, Minutemen, National Indignation Committee, and so on, have received much publicity since the inauguration of the liberal Kennedy Administration in 1961. Such organizations represent in most cases a sense of frustration and anger concerning the United State_s' position in the complex, uncertam, and dangerous modern world. Radical movements in Ame~ica's past, such as the KnowNothmgs, the .Ku Klux Klan, the Abolitionists,. and the Coughlinites, were concerned primarily with domestic issues. Now the major issues center around the United States' response to international Communism,· and the relationship between the nature of the response and America's domestic life. This factor provides the most important drive of right-wing radicalism. The menace of Communism is absolute and all-embracing; therefore, the measures necessary to combat this menace must be absolute and all-embracing. The memoership of the far-right, the t echniques used to carry out the "holy crusade," and what effeds such techniques may have on our basic institutions will be the subjects of inquiry during the next weeks in this column. Letter to the Editor Editor: On behalf of the Inter-Dormitory Council we would like to thank Dr. Mailey for speaking at the JDC seminar last Thursday. Discussion centered around the apathetic American citizen and for the 55 students present it was a very stimulating experience.

"Fear no more the heat of the sun, nor the furious winter rages." "If it were not to die, t'were now to be most happy." These lines from Shakespeare's songs are the basis for the novel Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Previously called The Hours, the book encompasses one day in the life of a somewhat sophisticated, intelligent woman, Mrs. Dalloway, who has never known the 1igors of life. The first scene of the book takes place the morning of a day that she has set aside for giving a party to which she has invited a man who was in love with her; the last scene is the party itself. One of the major incidents of the book and the most important topic of discussion at tlie party - involves the death of Septimus Warren Smith, a character whom Mrs. Dalloway has never known, yet one who touches her deeply. When the subject of his passing is mentioned, Mrs. Dalloway, for the first time in her well-organized life, is touched by an emotion which has never come her way before. One of the unique aspects of Mrs. Dalloway is the changing of character each . time Big Ben strikes. With every announced hour, the scene shifts to a different person and a different story. Yet all patterns of the diverse plots are woven together ingeniously by the delicate pen of Mrs. Woolf. Writing in her usual highly poetic style, the author has set Shakespeare's lines into action with the character of Septimus Warren Smith, who commits suicide in an effort to be happy. Septimus is, in a sense, Mrs. Woolf herself. Both had seen the effect of war. Both had realized the impact society has on individuals: Septimus through his striving for happiness, and Mrs. Woolf through her striving for perfection. Yet Mrs. Woolf has one style defect; she tends to take the reader to the height of feeling, then drop him to such a level that he never knows whether the action he expected has occurred or not. Septimus' death is ineffective because his character warrants a much more ghastly death than that penned by Mrs. Woolf. It is as if she didn't want her favorite personality to die, and was trying to save him. . . However, this fault _is more ~~an balanced by the beautiful rendition Mrs. Woolf lends to the person of Mr. Dalloway in his act of "stating" his love for his wife. He simply hands her a bouquet of flowers, a deed handled poetically (continued on pace 6) I �Friday, April 5, 1963 Wil.KES COLLEGE BEACON Yankees Picked lo Cop A.L.

Two such men are College President Eugene Farley and head of the philosophy and religion department Dr. Stanko Vujica. These men, skilled in their respective areas of work, have ever found time to work with the community, the College, and the students in solidifying friendships. Because of t h e tremendous responsibilities accepted by these men they, as do industrious men everywhere, fall prey to overwork. The campus was sad when it learned of their recent illnesses. But it was not shocked because all knew that overwhelming responsibility, when seriously taken, will often exhaust even the most powerful man. Fortunately both men are recuperating quickly and may soon return to their duties. The College wishes them a speedy recovery and reminds them that "the end and the reward of toil is rest; the best of men have ever loved repose." Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the 68 Wilkes College Students who contributed their time and effort to the I.D.C. Student Work Dany Project on April 6. The Project was a great success thanks to the unselfish dedication of these s :udents. Ron Ciccone and Nancy Palazzolo, Co-chairmen of the Student Work Day Project, and Dan Lyons, chairman and pilot of the Fly for Zoes Day on April 7, deserve special mention for their untiring efforts to insure the success of theh· projects. As of today, the total inco:ne from these two projects has reached $489.50, and contributions are still coming in. This money will be set aside in an interest-earning fund to provide a scholarship for Polyzoes 0 . Mavrommatis, the Gr eek orphan boy whom the I.D.C. will sponsor through the Save the Chil- and enjoy yourself during this weekend dedicated to dren Federation, when he begins you. The campus delights in welcoming you and has planned his studies at Wilkes. Welcome Future Freshmen for your arrival. Everything is planned - everything except the cordial attitude at the College. That is never "planned". It exists here year 'round. You will notice that college students, though they may be at times stymied by stifling study and class preparation, still find time for a little enjoyment in life. You will also see that, contrary to public opinion, college men and women are NICE. The Beacon staff, with the entire College, welcomes you to view the varied facets of college life, and to be a part of them in the fall. However, the success of the Student Work Day P r oject does ~10t lie in the fact that the money received has far exceeded our expectations. Rat her, the ultimate success of the Project, I feel, lies in the fact that 68 Wilkes students proudly and willingly contributed their services so that someone less fortunate than themselves might also enjoy the benefits of P. college education. In this respect, the Project was a true success.

A number of business corporations also extend support to radical-right groups. The fanatics, cranks, and mentally disturbed individuals (such a s Robert Welch, leader of the secret, highly-organized, anti-democratic John Birch Society, and George Lincoln Rockwell, pseudo-fuehrer of the American Nazi Party) who seem to emerge from the shadows during critical times in our history, spread their venom of hate, extremism, and gross absurdities on the lunatic fringe of the far-right. The views of these men often reach such idiotic proportions (Welch, for example, in his book, The Politician, said that Dwight Eisenhower had been "a dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy." It is reassuring to know that thus far no proof has been offered to support this charge) that even the supporters of men like Welch, such as Barry Goldwater and William F. Buckley Jr., suggest that he "retire." The areas in which the radical-right has had most success, in organization, numbers of "true believers" recruited, finances and political influence, are thus far California, Texas, portions of the Midwest and the South (especially the "Bible Belt"). Except for sporadic, commercially successful forays by shrewd ideological hucksters like Fred Schwarz with his Christian Anti-Communism Crusade, the East Coast, with a more abrasive, sophisticated and skeptical urban intelligence, has not been receptive to the far-right's call-to-arms (though there are regional exceptions). The basic position of the radical-right is essentially a revolt against modern America and the world. Whatever is wrong with America and the world has resulted from Communism, especially its internal form . Communism must be stamped out, exterminated; total victory, not negotiation, not co-existence, should be the goal of America. To reach this goal, the far-right attacks certain national welfare policies which they claim undermine our national strength. They are against big spending (except for the military sector), relief payments, federal aid to education, medical care for the aged, urban r enewal, any increase in the Social Security program, foreign aid, U.S. participation in the United Nations, and big, regulatory government. These are legitimate arguments which all taxpayers may honorably debate as part of public policy but, at this point, the far-right departs Once I loved you. from democratic debate and (depending upon which leader and group Once when your icicle lips were one follows) may hurl the following accusations at some of their fellow warm citizens and institutions: liberalism leads to socialism, which leads to And your wine glass fingers communism; the Supreme Court and the State Department are part Handled my hair. of a mysterious control apparatus operated by the Communists.

False Love Blllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllttlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l!I I POLITICAL by Dick Shemo In Harrisburg last month, a representative assembly composed of more than 500 delegates from statewide local chapters of the Committee for State Constitutional Revision met in the Forum of the State This organization is an active and dedicated group, non-partisan in character, which seeks to bring about revision of Pennsylvania's eighty-nine year old Constitution, a goal which has been worked toward for a number of years. The Committee's aim is for revision, not just because the present Constitution is old, but because the need for revision is tied to the need for a government responsive to the changing perspectives of generations of the present and future, and to changing conditions of the world in which w e and they will live. Their claim is that we need revision now because we have reached the point at which our state government can no longer function properly without substantial overhauling. They believe that if Pennsylvania is to progress, the present-day Constitution of the state must be revised and not just SCENE amended as has been the case in the past. They further state that constitutions have been changed before; why not now? Why must we be shackled to the inadequacies as maintained by the present constitution? In answer to those who would amend rather than revise, they show that the State Constitution has been amended to death already ; amended to the point of having become a patchwork of additions which are in all, grossly lacking in the task of providing for the needs of the people. For example, in one recent session of the Legislature, more than eighty amendments were proposed. To become part of the Constitution, said amendments must go through a rather strenuous procedure in that they must pass both houses of two successive legislatures and then a referendum of the state's voters, a process which takes about five years. Since 1901, ninety amendments proposed have been passed by the two successive legislative sessions and sixty have been approved by the voters in referenda. Supporters of revision point to I the above facts as evidence that a new Constitution, and not further amendment, is what is needed to correct a variety of ills maintained under the present Constitution. Significant at the March meeting was an address by Governor Scranton in which he presented his personal support and outlined a prog ram aimed at Constitutional revision by a Convention of delegates to be chosen by the people. Significant also, was the attendance at the meeting of a large number of college students, many of whom will be of voting age when the planned referendum on the final draft of the new Constitution would be presented. According to the proposed timetable of the governor, the referendum on whether to hold a Constitutional Convention would be held in November of this year, followed by election of delegates to the Convention in the spring :orimaries of 1964. The Convention would convene in June of 1964 to last no longer than one year with the new Constitution to be ;;ubmitted to the voters at the general election in 1965. �Friday, April 26, 1963 3 Wil.KES COLLEGE BEACON Format of Cinderella Ball Changed; 'Castle of Dreams' To Be Theme ID C Sponsors Hampton Exchange Plans for the fourteenth annual Cinderella Ball are currently underway. Student Government, which sponsors the dance, has hired Gene Dempsey's orchestra to play for dancing. The format for the dance, to be held May 10, has been changed from previous years. This year, it will be a formal instead of a semi-formal, and dancing will be from 9 to midnight. "Castle of Dreams" is the theme. A miniature castle will be placed in_the center of the floor. The gym will be decorated in the style of a room in the castle. Blue and white crepe paper, in the shape of a roof, will cover the ceiling. Imitation pillars w i 11 surround the dancing area, and imitation stone paper will cover the walls. The seating area for the faculty and the refreshment stand will depict tiny chapels. Favors will be distributed to those attending; Japanese Lyric Poetry Is Discussed at Forum Tickets may be purchased from Miss Millie Gittens at the book"They blossom, and then store, at the cafeteria, or at the We gaze, and then the blooms new Snack Bar.

After lunch, delegates met in Stark Hall and discussed photography, artwork, layout, and composition. During the eleven years of his association with the Taylor Publishing Company, Mr. Dolan has guided yearbook staffs throughout the United States. A bachelor of arts degree from Boston College, attendance at the Harvard School of Business Administration and Boston University Graduate School constitute Mr. Dolan's educational accomplishments. In addition, he has had experience on the staffs of numerous yearbook seminar short courses, as well as functioning instructor of yearbook counselor classes, and contributing to educational and scholastic journals. • • . 135 Pints of Blood Given I One hundred thirty-five pints of blood were collected at the blood drive which was held recently at the gym. Nine potential donors were not accepted for various physical reasons. Dean Ralston and Art Hoover are "slightly pleased" with the total, which represents an over-all increase of twelve from the fall semester, even though the goal of 200 was not reached. Hoover stated that some people returned home early to celebrate the Hebrew and Christian holidays, also contributing to the failure to reach the desir.e d goal.

The earliest haiku was written in the thirteenth century, but it wasn't until the sixteenth century that haiku became popular. Today, it is a national pastime. The haiku is a poem of awareness; the reader must try to feel the experience. "The reader," said Miss Jenkins, "must pursue the train of thought set in motion by the poet's crystalized experience." Miss Jenkins concluded by reading the haiku of different poets, namely, Bashe of the early nineteenth century, Buson of the eighteenth century, Issa of the early nineteenth century, and Shiki of the later nineteenth century.

Since their tour was through the Pennsylvania Dutch country most of the Collegians stayed with farm families who treated them as members of the household; therefore chorus members found some unwonted diversions to make their stays interesting. Charley Love and Marshall Evans got up early to help the farmer milk his cows. Frank Cognetti, who is inveterately hungry, was served an enormous bowl of homemade ice cream and syrup. He was not hungry after he finished it. Mike Rakiewicz amused himself playing jacks. Letterwomen Organize The Letterwomen of the College recently held nominations and elections of officers for the coming year. Newly elected officers are: Rose Ann Hallet, president; Carol Plonner, vice-president; Jo Signorelli, recording secretary; Bonnie Drapper, corresponding secretary; JoAnn Kearney, treasurer; Adele (continued on page 5) ICG Attends Conference; Strategy To Be Planned For State Convention Members of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government have been busy ·a ll year preparing for the I.C.G. Regional Convention which was held at King's College in March and for the State Convention which was held at Harrisburg from April 18 to 21. The business at hand this year was the revision of the Pennsylvania State Constitution. Wilkes played an important role in campaigning for Peter Lechensky, a senior at Scranton University, who was elected to represent the northeast region. There are five regions in Pennsylvania's I.C.G. organization; each region is represented by approximately ten colleges. Yesterday the Hampton - Wilkes student exchange program was put into effect when twelve students and three chaperones began travelling to Hampton, Virginia. Sponsored by I.D.C., the program is designed to promote understanding of the problems of others, which both colleges feel is essential to a wellrounded education; it is also set up to provide a notable experience that cannot be obtained by mere academic studies. Th{:! students, Ron Ciccone, Nick Alesandro, Jim Jenkins, Dick Morgan, Fred Smithson, Joe Easley, Judy Sisko, Arlene Siano, Carol Plonner, Dee Amir, Vicki 'i'atz, and Jody Morrison, and the chaperones, Gordon Roberts, Miss Millie Gittens, and Miss Matilda Mansilla, spent last night at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. They arrived today in Virginia and have begun participating in activities planned for them. Last year, the participating students travelled to Williamsburg, the site of much of our Revolutionary War history. They were also taken on a tour of the campus of Hampton College, after which a dance was held in honor of the visiting students, who stayed in the dormitories and roomed with students of the school. Hampton students will visit the College May ~ to 5 to complete the program. Juniors, Seniors Discuss Major Fields with Alumni Individual discussion groups provided the foundation for the Alumni Seminar held on campus last Saturday evening. Students, both seniors and juniors, divided into various interest groups corresponding to their major fields of study. The discussions were led by alumni members who explained the pursuits which they have been following since graduation. Following the discussion meetings, the groups met at the Commons where each gave a summary of the material covered in his respective group. Miss Genevieve Blatt, executive director ol the I.C.G. and State Secretary of Internal Affairs, has said, " ...

"Concept", the award-winning program originating from WRCV TV in Philadelphia, will focus its camera on the campus during a three-day period in May. Marciarose Shestak, producer of the show, calls · it a "look at the changing world of ideas through the eyes of leading colleges and universities." Since this half-hour program will be basically concerned with the integration of the college into community life, it will deal principally with the Labor - Management Citizens Committee, Community Research Center, and Institute of Municipal Government. It will also pinpoint the usefulness of the Graduate Division and the New Science Research Center in the development of industry.

Cutlip of the University of Wisconsin School of Journalism, the growing role of the public relations man (or woman) should concern us. As a natural consequence, the Beacon this week trains its spotli~ht on the man who is responsible for creating a favorable impression of Wilkes College for thousands of newspaper readers, television viewers and radio list eners. He is Livingston "Pop" Clewell, whose releases stem from Third Floor (rear), Chase Hall.

NOTICES Willson's "The Music Man" which played to capacity houses in Irem Temple. A month before showtime, the press and five radio stations were saturated with promotional releases and spots. Sponsoring the play, the Kiwanis Club of Wilkes-Barre, to raise funds for its Wheelchair Club, sold hundreds of tickets; but as is often the case in ventures of this kind, the public will purchase tickets but often does not attend the performances. This was directly reversed in this instance, due in part to judicious PR promotion. In his releases about the College, Mr. Clewell strives to solidify a close relationship between Wilkes and the community. He conducts a weekly television show on WERE TV called "The Wilkes College Capsule" and is also the creator of "Focus," a student panel discussion program which is heard weekly on radio station WARM . On a community level Pop has integrated his public relations work on a volunteer basis for the United Fund, A m er i can Brotherhood Roundtable, Mercy Hospital, and Advertising Club of Wilkes-Barre as well as other organizations. He has received the coveted Homer Peabody Award for outstanding work in the public relations field. A graduate of Blair Academy and Dartmouth College, Mr. Clewell has been actively engaged in the public relations field for over thirty years. He recalls that his first job in the field was as a member of the publicity staff of Sam H. Harris, theatrical producer in New York City. Mr. Clewell has spent some time on the West coast. In Holly wood he free lanced for several motion picture producing companies and notes a few motion pictures to his credit. Moving from the area of motion pictures, he associated himself with the advertising world as an account executive for several advertising agencies in California. Radio is the medium of communication in which Mr. Clewell has been most active. While on the West coast he began his radio career with radio station KHJ of the Los Angeles Times.

His radio adaptation and production of Charles Dickens' "Christmas Carol" for six years went from coast to coast on a national network originating in WilkesBarre and was listed by the New York Times as "preferred listening." Mr. Clewell is a charter member of thJ Writers Guild of America East. His contributions to the technique of radio presentation include the "cold opening", dramatic flash-back and he was among the first to effectively mi e the first person singular approach in dramatic productions.

This year the Fair will be held Thursday and Friday, May 16 and 17, a week earlier than usual. Last year it conflicted with the Fine Arts Fiesta, thus the response was not as great as expected. This year the students will have an opportunity to display their work in both the Fair and the Fiesta. As usual, students will give actual demonstrations of their work instead of just showing the finished product. The displays will consist of watercolor, pen and ink, copper enameling, pottery, oil painting, woodcuts, and typography. A special exhibit of work done only by senior art majors will be featured. Because of three previous salesthe first just before Christmas, the second the just Art League building, and theinlast before and just after Easter-the students will have an opportunity to display more work than usual. Plans are being made to hold part of the exhibit outside where soda and, tentatively, espresso will be served to the public. Al w1·1kes The second half of the HamptonWilkes exchange program will be completed this weekend. Designed to promote better understanding of the problems of others, the program is also set up to provide a notable experience which' cannot be obtained by mere academic studies.

What would we do without the Cinderella Ball? The cam- 'Gabriel' R. pus has at least this one activity in which many participate. (Name withheld) Today is campus-wide election day. All classes, except the senior class who will vote only for Cinderella, will select those class members who will hold executive offices next year. Most nominees have circulated fliers and posters to solicit votes. Don't vote for the best poster, though, vote for the best candidate. Some plan the affair; others decorate; most vote for a candidate; many attend the Ball. For a few weeks, then, the campus seems to work toward a common goal - a successful Cinderella Ball. One of the eleven candidates will be the perfect Cinderella: active, intelligent, attractive, personable. Vote for her today. Today's Voting Is Most Important An emotional experience is one of the most difficult experiences to explain. It can best be understood by one who has shared a similar experience. Friendship and understanding are qualities often experienced on an emotional level, and are, therefore, lent not readily to explanation. The Hampton-Wilkes exchange program which enables both colleges to share not only ideas but also friendship is just such an emotional-experience vehicle. Through the program faculty and students meet and exchange ideas. Moreover, they solidify friendship through understanding. A Lover: Harassed to Bias Once I loved you.

As an institution, 'The Apathetic Onlooker' apologizes for Olsen's level of talent, but must, of needs, point out that his efforts are of more merit than a good deal of the total campus literary output.

The Beacon stands not alone in this inferiority; an approximate fifty per cent of student work submitted to the Manuscript was rejected, an optimistic twenty per cent of what remained was of an acceptable quality, and cafeteria 'flyers' and bulletin board posters constitute an even lower level of expression. Compounding the felony, the romantic themes (of an almost 'Sucaryl' quality) chosen for dances and social affairs (as 'Castle of Dreams', 'Paradise for Lovebirds', and the like) fall directly into the same category. The author of 'The Dentiad' himself might wonder as to how so many obviously aborted bits of writing have ' found a printed and widely read berth on a college level.

The general student body should be acquainted with the fact that both Manuscript and The Beacon operate on an exchange program with corresponding periodicals in a great many schools, and that, while the views of a contributing author are most definitely his own, the appearance of any written material in any Wilkes College publication will reflect the intellectual level of Wilkes as a school; the quality of our literary image is more than questionable. Certainly the usual Beacon poetry does not reflect its author's abilities ('icicle lips' and other 'loose' imagery will not be found in this author's Manuscript verse), and the fashion editor on The Beacon J I THE FAR-OUT RIGHT, PART III by Doug Bennington Does the radical-right present an immediate, full-blown threat to American democracy, or is it merely a temporary, noisy protest against the social, political, and economic changes that have altered American society during the past thirty years? Does the radical-right have the power now or in the future to dismantle, the "Welfare State," or turn the historical clock back fifty years?' A complete answer to these questions requires many pages; a partial list of the implications of the farright is offered here. Concerning political power, thus far none of the radical-right movements - despite their grandiose plans for saving the nation - have had any practical prospects of winning the Presidency, of taking over either national party (though the Republican party is faced with extensive rightist activities, especially in party finances), or of having their fantastic policies enacted into law. Commentators on the farright assume that the American tradition of moderate, compromising politics and the influence of responsible civic groups will prevent the radical-right from attaining national power. However, this may be too comfortable a reassurance because as one commentator (Alan Westin, Harpers, April, 1962) has said, the radical-right today presents the same type of threat to democratic processes and institutions that the radical-left presented in the "thirties" and "forties". The far-right threatens the freedom of choice and action of any national administration that attempts to formulate and carry out realistic anti-Communist programs in the difficult, grey areas of twentieth century politicss; it threatens to confuse or curtail domestic debate on sensitive, vital issues; it threatens the reputation and integrity of groups and organizations; it seeks to penetrate and control (as the Communists did in the past) . The most serious immediate threat from the far-out right is aimed toward fundamental civil liberties and civic affairs. Bullying tactics, including intimidation of teachers, ministers, school principals, pacifists, community dissenters, harassment of speaker at community forums, are used by the radical-right to crush opposition and insure the presentation of one side on all issues, the "right" side. (For examples of far-right practices in American communities, see Life, April 26, 1963; Progressive, November, 1962; The Nation, June 30, 1962; and Look, April 24, 1962.) The presence of the far-out right in America cannot be viewed with yawns by conservatives, nor with hysteria by those liberals who might see a John Bircher lurking behind every conservative opinion. American democracy will continue to function despite the radical-right attacks if liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, take reasonable steps to neutralize the more dangerous effects of the radicals. If responsible men from all areas of community life - press, education, business, politics, religion - fail or fear to challenge the "rampaging right", stormy days lie ahead for many communities. American democracy has survived worse threats than the hucksters and fanatics of the contemporary far-right, with their illusions, fixation on the past and fear of the future; with a sufficient amount of intellectual homework and refusal to panic by democratic citizens, this democracy will live long after the far-out right fades into the shadows from where it came. Is this what they mean by higher education the fifth floor of Parrish Hall? staff is capable of more acceptable prose as seen in last week's issue; this, however, does not excuse a word of the inarticulate composition published on campus. At present there seems to be much wailing and gnashing of student teeth as to the level of achievement required in the Freshman Composition courses; the freshman instructor very probably thinks of himself as an academic Sisyphus in a pedagogical Hades. Compounding the metaphor, however, rolling 'freshmen', do gather I moss, and the English department cannot be given blame for the situation. Were the problem to be traced to primary sources, we would have no more than a tirade against Motherhood and The Flag; a more practical approach would be merely to say that the responsibility for the low level of student literary expression falls upon the fact that students who have graduated from the Composition courses no longer write as they did when a 'grade' depended upon their performances. This is evidenced by the fact that more failures are (continued on paite -&) ✓- �Friday, May 3, 1963 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Tropl,y For A.·,Texan Netmen Grab Win No. 3 Soph Bill Douglas Wins 'Beacon' Nod From Lebanon Vall~y; For Power and Prowess in Tennis Journey to Collegeville With spring's sports well under way, the Beacon resumes its seThe tennis team upped their season record to 3 wins and 1 loss, with a 6-3 victory over King's College and a 9-0 victory over Lebanon Valley College.

The framers of our 187 4 Constitution understandably hoped to prevent abuses in government from continuing or occuring; but in doing so, it appears as if they saddled the State with a fundamental law which so restricts and limits government on all levels in Pennsylvania, that it has been regarded as being out of date and a handicap to all our citizens practically within a single generation after its adoption. Almost 90 years have passed since our Constitution was written and adopted. Its inadequacies have become "notorious" and have severely hampered the progress of our State, notably within the last 60 years. Since 1901, over ninety amendments have been proposed to make the Constitution more applicable and more responsive to the needs of the time. The voters saw fit to accept only 60 of these pro- 'Babbitt' Discussed by Brominski at Forum; Popularity Explained Sinclair Lewis' Babbitt was discussed at the Forum this week by Don Brominski. Written around 1924, Babbitt was introduced as a novel concerning a businessman who wants to break away from mid-western society. Dreams of a fairy girl, stated Brominski, are Babbitt's means of escape, as is his rebel friend, Paul Riesling. Babbi· tt was ostraci"zed from hi"s step in the caste system of society when he becomes a profligate. After several acquaintances which attend this type of character, Babbitt then became a liberal. When his son elopes, Babbitt is at last happy because he hopes his son will aspire to his own dreams. Brominski then stated that the book attained popularity in the decade it was written because of the satiric handling of Babbitt, the businessman; the book's permannent value, he said, is due to the developing of Babbitt, the individual. Brominski feels that the satire of Lewis is obvious and quite effective, but that Lewis is not good at irony because his irony is also obvious, which ruins the effect. Brominski then continued by saying that a novelist p_ortrays life and attempts to cope with the problems of life. He thinks that Lewis achieved this purpose in his portrayal of Babbitt. Because the reader identifies himself with Babbitt, Babbitt is a "real" individual, which is brought about by the skillful handling of Babbitt's mind. Brominski concluded by citing Mark Shorer's book, Sinclair Lewis, An American Life, as "the bible on Sinclair Lewis." Harris Tobias is scheduled to speak next week. Focus Panel Airs Sunday "The role of the Community College" will be discussed on "Focus" this week. George F. Ralston, Dean of Men, will moderate the panel consisting of Joyce Cavallini, Alan Krieger, William Carver, and Brent O'Connell. Air time is Sundays at 11 p.m. on radio station WARM. "Focus" is created and produced by Livingston Clewell. YEARBOOK NOTICE Any student who has ordered a yearbook must give $1.00 to Millie at the Bookstore and be sure to get a receipt before May 24.

The end result - a basic law more muddled and less responsive than ever. Curiously, the present controversy in the State is not even the need for revision, but the means of going about it. The Committee for State Constitutional Revision stands firm on general revision, a complete rewriting of the basic document. Many of those of the legal profession and several other interested groups endorse revision by amendment as the best means of effecting the change. Which of the two methods is the better, of course, is difficult to decide, both have their advantages and disadvantages. While the fate of separate amendments can be decided over a period of time by the electorate on an individual basis, the question of calling a Constitutional Convention is a "one shot affair," being either accepted or rejected. The most stubborn obstacle in either case has been voter apathy and lack of interest. As stated previously, the electorate has accepted only 60 of the 90 amendment proposals since 1901. On the other hand, it is a recognized fact that the voters have shown repeatedly that they have no desire io! a Constitutional Convention. Five times (1891, 1921, 1924, 1935, and 1953) since 187 4 the Legislaiure has submitted the question of calling a Constitutional Convention and five times the question has been defeated. In fact, the lack of interest was most clearly dem0ustrated in 1953 when less than 11 per cent of the registered voters took advantage of the opportunity to vote for a Constitutional Convention; despite the active support of the administration then in power and of numerous citizen's groups and organizations. Perhaps only when each Pennsylvania citizen and voter is made to realize that his own personal welfare and economic betterment depends upon a new State Constitution will constructive action be taken by the electorate at the polls. (Next week's article will deal with the problems in a general revision of our State Constitution.) Student Government Concludes Plans For Annual Spring Weekend Affairs Student Government is making its final preparations for the annual Spring Weekend to be held May 10, 11, and 12. Three full days of activities are scheduled to officially conclude the social activities for the 1962-63 school year. On Friday evening, the Cinderella Ball will be held in the gym from 9-12 p.m., with music being provided by Gene Dempsey's orchestra. Tom Penhale is general chairman for this affair, which will officially commence the Weekend's activities. All day Saturday, the Spring Carnival will be held in the Parrish Hall parking lot. This Carnival will be composed of individual booths to be operated by the various classes and organizations on campus. Games will be held, and prizes awarded. Jim Jenkins is in charge of this phase of the program. The Weekend will come to a close on Sunday afternoon, when the official College picnic will be held at Kirby Park. Ed Rogalski announced that the day's activities will include softball, volleyball, archery and other games. Refreshments will be served. --------MUSIC DEPT.

Ideal Combination of Sports, Studies Through the ages blondes and brains and brawn and brains seem to have acquired equal notoriety as impossible combinations. li these combinations are impossible then Charles Weiss, senior Commerce and Finance major, has accomplished the impossible. "Chuck" is not only blonde and brainy but brawny too. Present captain of the soccer team, Charles recently combined his six foot height and 165 pound weight with another statistic, a near Dean's List average, to cop the President's Award which is given annually to the senior athlete with the highest cumulative academic average. He has played fullback on the College soccer team for three years, was co-captain of the team last year, and was a member of the All-East soccer team for the past two years. Presently, Charles says, "I'm retired from everything really competitive other than my church bowling league." In this, his first year of bowling, he has attained a 160 average about which he says, "I'd like to pick that up considerably." After graduation Charles intends to make golfing his sport. "Mr. Farrar says that everybody rich plays golf." Because of his interest in business (and money), Charles worked in a supermarket and as a doorto-door salesman of encyclopedias and cookware. He was especially interested in the training period because of the "spiels" he was taught. But he doesn't like selling. "I always had the feeling that I was putting something over on the people."

In contrast, students seem remarkably well lately - exhausted, but well.

G.M.Z. No Operation_Without Cooperation In observing the results of Student Government elections, one can see that potential lies among these chosen officers. Leadership is there, but the question could be, Is leadership enough? It seems that co-operation with the leaders is necessary in order to make Student Government an effective organization. Co-operation. This does not apply only to the representatives, but it includes the student body. If Student Government is ever to widen its scope, it must cease to be an organization for just its duly elected members. Having been placed in office by their classmates. they are responsible to their classes as well as to the College and the community. There is no room for cliques or factions. Unity is a quality" essential for good government. decision to call a constitutional convention is a political act. The political wisdom of seeking or opposing a constitutional convention depends upon how individuals and groups are affected by the existing constitution and how likely they are to control the convention. Again, whenever the question of constitutional change arises, many argue that the convention is too costly and cumbersome and suggest the alternate of revision by amendment. The opponents of the constitutional convention method cite the complicated procedures for setting it up and the great expense involved in operating it. And, as always, many legislators, interest groups, and "old line" conservatives f ear that a constitutional convention would get into "dangerous" hands, and that radicalism might run rampant in the convention. Are there any advantages to the convention method endorsed by the majority of reformers in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania, the legislature and the proposed constitutional convention have different purposes and face different problems. The state legislature, by and large, confronts a great deal of both routine and important matters of policy and administration in its day-to-day life . Thus any consideration of constitutional change in the form of amendment or otherwise must be inserted among many other legislative responsibilities. The constitutional convention, on the other hand, is called for a single purpose, and concentrates only on those issues involving a revision of the fundamental law of the state. Managed in a true spirit of constructive reform, a convention may attract a significant number of delegates and advisors with superior talent, character, and prestige. All this will be reflected in the final document. What about the charge of radicalism? It is significant to say that almost two hundred years of poli- of constitutional revision, the real danger is the apparent meekness and lack of bold convictions in suggesting and making changes. Finally, constitutional conventions have the distinct advantage of widespread public attention of their activities. Many times in the past, amendment proposals to our 1874 constitution were lost in the maze of the legislative activities of the General Assembly. Should the convention idea be accepted this November, public interest throughout the state will focus upon constitutional issues and upon them alone. It is true conventions do involve considerable expense and the difficulties in setting one up are many, aside from the possibility of an unsympathetic electorate. But, in view of the benefits to be derived from r evising the fundamental law of our state to meet more adequately the needs of the people of Pennsylvania, the price to pay is indeed small.

"Intolerance", despite Cinemascope and other current devices, still is the most advanced example of film technique. Almost every device we see in movies today appeared in "Intolerance"; it remains the most spectacular motion picture produced in America (unless the forthcoming "Cleopatra" tops it). "Intolerance" has had enormous influence on the motion picture everywhere, especially in Russia, where D. W. Griffith was a mentor to 8oviet film artists, including Eisenstein. Directors around the world acknowledge their debt to the great D. W., yet "Intolerance" was not a public or financial success, perhaps because it was many years ahead of its time. D. W. went broke filming the lengthy picture and, though he made more movies, he never again reached the artistic level of "Intolerance". He spent the last years of his life in drunken obscurity and died in 1948.

Now a traditional Spring program, intramural softball has become an integral part of spring on campus. Although there are not many teams participating this year as in previous years, the numbers of forfeited games has been nominal. As in the past, the league is divided into two divisions, the Independent League and the Dormitory League which is composed of teams from siic residence halls. Competition in the Dorm League has been extremely keen. This past Monday the Butler Hall squad turned back the boys from Gore in an exciting 5-4 contest to clinch the League title. The steady pitching of Butler's Joe Easley enabled his team to edge the tough Goremen. Prior to the contest, both Gore and Butler came forth with innovations that had not been seen before Gore's effigy of a Butler softballer on campus. This of course, was the publicizing of the contest by means of flyers and sundry other publicity devices. Perhaps the most striking of these attempts was the Gore rendition of a Butlerman which was suspended from a tree next to the Commons. The Gore and Butler endeavors were typical of the spirit with which the softball games have been played this year. In past years many teams put forth only halfhearted efforts, not even showing up for many of their games. This is not the case this season. It was stated that play in these contests wa:;; spirited. This needs qualification. While the competition has been sharp the play on the field is still reminiscent of last year's Mets. Pitching is definitely not one of the strengths of the League. Nor is defense. Hitting is the thing that wins the games. This is just as well, since this facet of the game of baseball is perhaps the most satisfying to the participants. After all the program is designed as a recreational measure. As of press time, the Independent League race is still muddled with the Seagrams 7 riding in the top spot with a 3-1 record. The Rejects and the Radicals are tied with 2-2 records while the Heads are plugging along with 1-3. This of course, could be changed a great deal after yesterday's games. The Independent League has one makeup date next week. Butler Hall will meet the winner of the Independent race for the over-all title. ~-: IOSTON, LOS ANGEL■ LONDON THE ( 'JIRISTL\~ SCIE~CE An example of a typical intramural batting swing (with vigor) l\1()~1TOI{ Another typical swing by a typically-attired player AN INTERNATIONAL DAILY N(WSPAPFR Interesting Accurate Complete 1■....etiH•I Newa Cov1ro11 The Christian Science Monitor One Norway St., Boston 15, Moss.

A mass of brand new information' about the nation of male undergraduates is revealed in a new study, "Male College Student Survey," conducted by the research firm, Benn Management Corporation, in cooperation with the Market Research Department of Playboy magazine.

Bob is generally noted as a mainstay of the Colonel basketball team, for which he was named "Athlete of the Week" earlier in the year. Bob attended Valley Forge Junior College before coming to Wilkes. At Valley Forge he captained the basketball and baseball teams while serving as class treasurer. Bob was also a leader of his class at Hopewell High School where he was an officer for two years, and was named to the Section 8, P.I.A.A. first team in basketball. This year Bob was named Most Valuable Player in basketball, The tennis team lost its second an honor of which he is rightly match of the season last Thursday proud. to Lycoming College, 6-3, on the In addition to his basketball latter's home court. The winners prowess Bob has also distinguished in the singles matches were Don himself as a moundman for Wilkes' Austin and Bill Douglas, and in nine as evidenced by his pitching the doubles, Gary Frank and Bill Douglas. · Wilkes travels to Scranton on Saturday for the final away match, boasting a record of three wins and two losses. Last season Wilkes defeated Scranton, 9-0 and 8-1. On May 14 the netmen return to their home court to play Moravian College. The netmen raised their season log to a 4-2 mark on Wednesday afternoon as they halted the Ursinus squad, 7-2. Captain Bill Kl ein won his singles match and with Jeff Carr, won in the doubles competition in three sets. Number six Douglas remained unbeaten in singles play. R e s u 1 ts: Kline, W, defeated Crabb, 6-2, 7-5; Einhorn, W, beat Myers, 6-3, 6-1; Coon, U, defeated Frank, 6-7, 6-2, 6-1; Carr, W, beat Bohl, 6-4, 6-4; Austin, W, beat Crough, 6-2, 6-1; Douglas, W, def eated Warren, 6-4, 6-1. Doubles: Kline-Carr, W, defeated Crabb-Meyers, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2; CoonBohl, U, beat Einhorn-Smithson, 6-3, 1-6, 11-9; Douglas-Yeager, W, topped McKinney-Crough, 6-3, 6-3. Douglas Still Unbeaten; Netmen Lose Second, 6-3 Bob Fleming the Colonels to their first victory of the season, a 2-1 decision over Ursinus. The team this year has been somewhat of a disappointment. Bob explained that it is one of the better teams, but just hasn't been able to pull its e 1 f together. The team's potential is obvious. Ursinus had a 7-2 record and was in second place in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Bob credits his teammates as usual and remarked that some def ensive changes may have been the reason for the team's finding itself. Bob had little difficulty in the game. "Everything seemed to be going for me," said Bob. There wasn't a great deal of action until the sixth inning. Bob had retired 16 men in a row before allowing a single. In the same inning Russ Frederick and Len Yankosky came across with the Colonels' two .tallies. Things settled down again until Bob walked the first man up in the 9th. The walk turned into a run after a bad bounce in centerfield (a rough spot Bob added) turned into a double, placed runners on 2nd and third and a foul ball was long enough to score the baserunner from third base. Asked what seemed to be the difficulty, Bob said that errors were the big factor of course, but the baserunning needed -some improvement. In all, Bob mastered the game to bring his season's record to 1-1, and gain "Athlete of the Week" honors. I Bowling Found Better Than Financial Gain In 1923, eight of the world's most successful financiers met in Chicago, and a champion was crowned at the 23rd Annual ABC Tournament, the world's most important bowling tournament in Milwaukee. In the same year AMF star bowler Evelyn Teal was born. Now, forty years later, she has done research and found out where these men are. The first of the eight was the president of the largest independent steel company, C ha r 1 es Schwab. He died bankrupt, living before his death. on borrowed money for five years Next was the president of the largest gas company, Howard Hopson, who became insane. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cotton, was third. He died abroad insolvent. Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, was sentenced to Sing Sing PenitentiaThe fifth man, Albert Fall, a ry. member of the President's Cabinet, was pardoned from prison so he could die at home. The greatest "bear" on Wall Street, Jesse Livermore, committed suicide, as did Ivar Krenger, head of the world's greatest monopoly and the president of the Bank of International Settlements, Leon Frazier. The winner of the ABC Singles Title in 1923 was Carl A. Baumgartner. In 1963, forty years after winning his ABC championship, is an advertising and public relations executive living in Garden City, New York. Diamondmen Home; Beat Ursinus, Stevens For First Two Victories Tomorrow afternoon the Colonel hardballers will return home for a 2:00 p.m. encounter with the Greyhounds of Moravian College. Earlier this year the Lehigh Valley nine turned back the Wilkesmen and are hoping to repeat that feat tomorrow. The Greyhounds will be facing a "new" Wilkes squad as the Colonels are finally squared away after a shaky start this season. The game will be at the Athletic Field. On Tuesday Coach Schmidt's diamondmen will journey to Selinsgrove for a rematch with the Susquehanna University nine. The Crusaders also took the measure of Wilkes earlier this season and the Colonels are eager to reverse that setback. Pick Up First Win Last S a t u r d a y the Colonels picked up their first victory of the season as they edged the Ursinus Bears, 2-1, in a thriller. At the time, Ursinus was riding in second place in the Middle Atlantic Conference standings with a 7-2 record. Bob Fleming pitched brilliantly for the Colonels and at one point had retired 16 batters in a row. He pitched his way out of a neardisastrous jam in the ninth. With the score 2-0, Bob walked the first batter in the ninth. This was followed by a bad-bounce double, putting Ursinus runners on second and third with none out. A sacrifice fly produced one run, but Fleming got the final two batters on a ground out to third baseman Lou Zampetti and a fly ball to the outfield. The Colonel defense was much better in this contest than at any time previous this year. Coach Schmidt altered his defensive to achieve these desirable results. Turn Back Stevens Wednesday's diamond action saw the Colonels in their second straight win, and first shut out, as they stopped Stevens Tech, 4-0. Richie Klick hurled a two-hitter for the Wilkesmen, while fanning nine and issuing only two bases on balls. The freshman curver also picked three Stevens runners off first. Lou Zampetti chipped in with a pair of singles to lead the Wilkes offense. 5 Intramural Track Meet Expected To Boost the Intramural Program In an effort to pacify the advocates of a track team (which the College has found it impossible to support for lack of participation), Athletic Director John Reese has announced an intramural track meet slated for Thursday May 23 at 4:15 p.m. at Kirby Park. The idea of an intramural track meet is unprecedented at Wilkes, and the hope is that the animal men and the Mercuries of the College will find an outlet for their pent up energies. Clark Line of the Beacon staff is the student co-ordinator and is looking for students to help .with the timing of events and tallies of the running score. If you'd like to help, let him know.

Out of the hectic chaos that was the Art Department a few days ago has emerged an Art Fair. Held yesterday and continuing today from 2 to 5, and 6 to 9 at Conyngham Annex, this Fair shows what art students, both majors and nonmajors, have a cc om p Ii shed throughout the year. It also serves as a senior exhibit for art majors who will g raduate next month. Many varieties of art work are displayed, including oil painting, watercolors, graphic arts, sculpture, and the like. There are also fourteen student-conducted demonstrations on all phases of art activity. Although the primary purpose of this display is to exhibit work and demonstrate technique, there are al so some pieces on sale. I WAA Elects New Officers The executive board of the W omen's Activities Association elected the following officers: Lorraine Dyers, president; Jody Morrison, vice-president; Lois Kutish, treasurer; Gail Roberts, secretary; Jane Edwards, publicity chairman; Carol Bartz, social chairman.

For work which is usually thankless and demanding many students received rewards. The reward can only be a token appreciation because none could be fully repaid for all the time an energy which he has spent during the year. The College appreciates the work done by these fine individuals. They have labored well and deserve recognition. Pigment Color - Prejudiced Confederacy Who cares about democracy, freedom, religion, equality? certainly not the Southerners. They evidently don't realize that these privileges and rights are granted by law to each American. They, too, fail to understand that "American" isn't always synonymous with "white". Communist nations are having a field day publicizing the racial violence occurring in the South today. Southerners are giving Godless nations a wonderful example of brotherly "love" (fratricide!) as they murder, plunder, assault, bum. Perhaps the Southerners feel terribly American in that they're ridding the United States of "those awful differences". They might consider that the Negroes are demanding the humane treatment which all Americans demand. In reality, then, the Negroes are "like" all other Americans. It is the southern whites who are different.

Schroeder and Matthew (5 :21-24) Schroeder (his brother) In our last column, Dearest Friends and Readers, our meek and timid Olsen registered the small complaint that the 'Apathetic Onlooker' seems hardly to be taken seriously on the campus with regard to its essential purpose, which is to pick out the small things about the campus which might perhaps be in small need of correction or remark, and comment upon them with some small attempt at humor. Last week's Beacon could not have been a more discouraging reply to our announcement. It seems that we had published a parody upon a poem in an earlier Beacon by a certain Harris Tobias, to perhaps, in its small way, indicate to this author that the poem might contain certain technical, indeed, poetic flaws which he might somehow see fit to alter or at least defend in a literary manner. But 0 Alas! Shocked we were when our humble counsel was thrust back upon us with a rude and public intimidation that both our purpose and our mental capabilities were of somewhat diminutive dimensions. Had we perhaps realized that Mr. Tobias was beyond reproach and that he even plans to ha ve a volume of his sterling verse published within the next year, never would we ha ve been so small as to even hint that Mr. Tobia s' poetic capabilities might possibly merit some small semblance of suggestion. We feel it proper then (bear witness, 0 Fond Readers) to publicly apologize to Mr. Tobias. We even go so far as to implore all students to read his fine, nay, great work in the Wilkes College Manuscript this week, and in the event that he might not read this Beacon issue, we ask all our friends and, indeed, all students, that if they have the pleasant opportunity of meeting l\{r. Tobias on the campus to both congratulate him upon the superior quality of his poetic craftsmanship and to extend, on behalf of Olsen Schroede1;, the deepest and sincerest of apologies, apologizing in the spirit of the 'great' Socrates, and not merely the 'small minds' of such lowly parodists as Lord George Byron, Henry Fielding, Miguel de Cervantes, Jonathan Swift, William Shakespeare, and.

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this publication but those of the individuals. ' By Vince McHale Are you in favor of abolishing the federal income tax? Are you of the opinion that our national government has exceeded its constitutional power by engaging in spending schemes that have no legal constitutional basis? Do you think the power of the Supreme Court should be curtailed? If your answer to any of the above questions is yes, chances are you might find yourself among the many supporters of a whole flock of proposed amendments to our National Constitution, now in the process of being considered by state legislatures. It . is doubtful that the average college student is even aware of the fact that silent forces are hfoot to amend our Constitution in order to realize these goals. Consider the Liberty Amendment, for example, authored by Willis E. Stone, Chairman of the National Committee for Economic Freedom, which seeks to abolish the federal income tax simply by limiting government only to those activities delegated to it by the Constitution. According to Mr. Stone, his proposed Liberty Amendment will cut the cost of government enought to permit the repeal of the federal income tax. How does it work? Basically, the Amendment is composed of four main sections, in reality, four steps toward achieving the ultimate goal. The first section states that "the government of the United States shall not engage in any business, professional, commercial, financial or industrial enterprise, except as specified in the Constitution." It is estimated by Mr. Stone, that this simple prohibition upon unconstitutional activities will in effect cut the cost of government in half. Among the activities that the Amendment would seek to abolish are such items as government corporate activities and foreign aid, only two of the estimated 700 major spending programs, costing over $40 llµIion dollars annually, yet having no constitutional basis. The proposed Liberty Amendment would merely enforce the Constitution to the l~tter. Section Two of the Amendment guarantees that no foreign or domestic agreement will allow our government to engage in any unconstitutional enterprise. Section Three requires the government to sell, within three years, all. properties and facilities that violate the Constitution. Again, it is estimated that this will in turn reduce the national debt by minimum of $65 billion dollars while cutting the federal spending in half. Section Four, the final stroke, states that " ... Congress shall not levy taxes on personal income, estates, and or gifts," thus the income tax is repealed after the unauthorized spending has been eliminated. If the Liberty Amendment had been applied to the 1962 federal budget, an estimated reduction of $44 billion would have been realized, without reducing the constitutionally-authorized functions of the government. The loss of receipts through. repeal of the income, estate, and gift tax would have amounted to $41 billion, thus leaving an unbelievable $3 billion surplus to pay on the national debt. You may say it sounds plausible but crazy; yet six state legislatures have already approved and passed the Liberty Amendment, and an estimated 30 more will consider it during 1963. NEW.Sand VIE.WS THE GUERILLA AND "THE AMERICAN WAY". ++++++++++++++++++++++++ by Doug Bennington Dear Editor: I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those who participated in the Jaycee "Hit a Prof" spongethrowing booth at last weekend's Spring Carnival. Special thanks go to Mr. George Ralston, Dean of Men, Dr. Bruch of the physics department, and Mr. David Fendrick of the English department and "Music Man" fame, and to those brave, brave students who sat in front of the firing line. Once again, gentlemen, thanks. George Morris, Chairman Since the end of World War II, the traditional methods of carrying out policy through violent means have been slowly changing. Except for the Korean Conflict of 1950, the major powers of East and West have apparently substituted insurrectionary, unconventional guerilla conflict for total nuclear war in order to reach their political goals. Modem history has witnessed total war as the "normal" process for ending conflicts between nations; however, both the United States and Soviet Russia have thus far managed to avoid nuclear war, evidently assuming that the resulting losses of such an event would far outweigh any tangible gains, let alone "victory." Poet's Corner 0, JUDY 0, Judy, could the world be more perfected Than now it is ? Could lovely things detected Grow in splendor more serene If by your eyes' own beauty were injected? I think not if the lights of Heaven all convene Into a single ray, could radiance more perfect then be seen. Clark Line After 1947, the conflict between the great powers has settled into what may be termed a "stable crisis", a status quo based on a balance of nuclear terror. The dominant pattern of struggle has not been the traditional "interstate" war in the sense of sustained largescale violence between two or more governments roughly comparable in size and power, but instead the pattern has been one of local, insurrectionary struggles in which a non-governmental group-a clique, party or revolutionary movementseeks to overthrow and replace the existing government. Struggles of this nature have occurred in Malaya, Greece, the Philippines, Kenya, Cyprus, Algeria, Cuba, Laos, and Inda-China. Moscow, Washington and Peking have had an / open or secret role in one or more I of these trouble spots; This background must be known in order to understand the recent changes in the United States defense structure and foreign policy. Since 1961, the Kennedy Administration has quietly increased the military capacity of this country in the area of unconventional, guerrilla warfare, so successfully used by the Communists. The elite Special Forces group of the United States Army has been given the task of training our own soldiers and friendly governments in .the fine art of guerrilla warfare, in order that allied governments, through their own efforts and United States aid, may protect their countries from Communist guerrilla penetration. There are implications for our national psychological attitude toward the struggle with Commu(Continued on page 4) �Friday, May 17, 1963 WILKES COIJ.EGE BEACON 3 Bob Herman Named Athlete of Year Grid Star Gains Unanimous Vote Of Sports Staff in Annual Poll Each year the BEACON chooses that athlete who has distinguished both himself and the College by his outstanding performance in the varsity athletic program.

Special Tux Price to Students BOB HERMAN In football, Bob has always been a tough competitor, and this year he developed into the defensive workhorse of the team. The enthusiasm with which he covered his center spot in the line, and his alertness, which accounted for his being in on a great deal of key plays earned him the nod as "Athlete of the Week" earlier this year. At the annual Sports Award Dinner, Bob was saluted as the "Outstanding Lineman of the Year" and gained the coaches' "Athlete of the Year" award, a highly coveted honor. In addition, Bob was named to the all-MAC football squad and gained several honorable mentions throughout the grid campaign. He was heralded by the line coach, Frank Spudis, as the lineman with the greatest amount of hustle, drive and desire.

In general terms, Americans have in most cases sought quick solutions 1 to foreign military-political problems; we fight, win, and return to Ma in Street as soon as possible. Guerrilla war, however, may take many frustrating years to 1·each a conclusion, as the French learned in Algeria and lndo-China. United States guerrilla-style support in South Vietnam is making slow progress, but officials predict long, tough campaign against the Viet-Cong Communists in which American losses will probably incr ease. Are most Americans prepared to face the psychological demands of unconventional warfare, or will those voices among us who demand quick, total victory carry the day? Can Americans accept the slow " no-holds-barred" techniques of guerrilla operations in place of mass military conflict? It is of course too early to provide answers to these questions; what has been presented here is an outline of future concern for interested citizens. a Chuck Robbins Ready to Serve You With a Complete Line of Sweaters, Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods Carnival Highlights Spring Weekend 28 North Main Street - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rosfm?Jmf_ ,~··:", .

She was selected from among eleven girls by a student vote. "I feel that winning Cinderella was a terrific vote of confidence and a wonderful culmination to my four years of college," said Miss Palka. The crowning climaxed the evening. The Ball, sponsored by Student Government, marked the beginning of ·Spring Weekend, which also featured a carnival. S,t u dent Government heralded Spring Weekend by holding a carnival in the gym last Saturday. The Carnival, which was supposed to be held in the Parrish parking lot, was moved because of the weather. Clubs and dorms sponsored many of the booths. The Jaycees sponsored a sponge throwing contest, the victims being Dean George Ralston, David Fendrick, and Dr. A. Bruch. Sturdevant Hall featured a treasure chest which could only be opened by one key. Barre Hall sponsored two wheels and a game of chance which involved choosing numbers out of a hat. The freshmen bought an old car and invited students to smash it with mallets. They al.so held a wheel of fortune game and an intricate contest in which students had to choose a certain colored cup, then try to throw a ball into it. Women's Activities Association sponsored a booth also. Students had to throw a certain number of rubber balls into slots. If their score added up to fifteen, they were given a prize. Another feature of the evening was the dance held from 8 :30 to 11 :30. Music was furnished by the Arcadians. The refreshment stand was sponsored by I.D.C. Jim Jenkins was chairman of the affair; Leslie Tobias was decorations chairman, and Bernard Fetchko was in charge of entertainment.

Students' Opinions on the Honor Code Announced The induction of an Honor Code system at the College was the subject of a recent student body vote. This issue has stined up much controversy on campus during the past several months. Of the 554 students who voted, 293 favored the negative aspect. Of these, thirty-six checked "no opinion." Of the 248 who voted for the Honor Code, 159 stated that they would accept general and specific· conditions of the code. Seventynine favored specific conditions with no generalities; ten favored a general rather than a specific system. Student Government representatives have stated that the probability of an Honor Code has not been defeated and that it may be tested for a period of time next year.

The reader will now. think, "Thank goodness this won't be one of those editorials." But, dear reader, it will be. Before I become trite, though, I would like to state the newspaper's policy regarding editorials. This year's editors have always attempted to constructively criticize or to praise an existing situation. Never have we implied or expressed criticism of an individual. We feel that one person cannot be blamed for a generally bad situation. Nor can such a situation be remedied by making one person a scapegoat. We strive for a situation's correction, not for an individual's censure. This is our policy. . Now, when the reader least expects it, I shall thank a few people. "Thank you, people." Because many feel that a college should have honored traditions, this year I initiate a "Special -Beacon Tradition." Prepared to withstand great financial loss I have purchased medals and . trophies and would now like to present them: To Mary Frances Barone, an indispensible "right hand woman" and a personal friend (even though she is not a "yes woman"), I present the "Most Valuable Staff Member" Award. To our advisor, Joseph Salsburg, a giant-size replica of a tranquilizer pill bottle with the inscription, "Dear friend, in case next year's staff proves less docile than this year's, ..." To the entire public relations sta# - Pop Clewell, Barbara fritz, and Mimi Wilson - three weeks' vacation with pay on an island without television, radio, or Beacons. To my parents, preservers of family love (and sanity) I present the "Nobel Peace Prize." They also merit trophies for the kindness, consolation, understanding, and money they have given me. The editors caution me, however, against nepotism. I do not need · caution, though, acj'ainst boredom (that is, lengthy editorials). ·Reluctantly I relinquish my half-used typewriter ribbons to next year's staff. I know they will do an excellent job. That is an ord~rl G.M.Z. Ta Ta VIP's (GMZ, JLJ, MFB, RJS) to R.LP. ~We, the editors, are tired. After an exhilarating, exhausting year of "pseudo-jack-on-the-spot" news reporting we look forward to entering the "cold, cruel world" at last. In leaving this "model" world of flourishing minds, we regret that many things we wanted to see this year just didn't happen. As retiring reformers, we feel that a few last remarks can be made concerning the things we would like to see changed. After the merging of "great minds", your illustrious editors cCI?1e up with a few brilliant suggestions, comments, and observations: A snail running a race with the elevator in Parrish More short-winded speakers . . . everywhere Quiet study halls in the new library Students remembering that "Keep America Beautiful" applies to the cafeteria as well More six-page newspapers, meaning a larger budget for the Beacon Entire football and basketball team named "All American" A little less school spirit, so it can be completely done away with Fine Arts Building finally completed More constructive criticism rather than the usual "This paper never has anything in it." _S tudents electing Student Government president Student leaders doing one thing well rather than having their fingers in too many things and doing none of them well. People reading things into Beacon articles when they just aren't there. Finally, a request from the female editors - more male reporters on the staff. Travelling incognito - with Wilkes beanies (din.ks) and sunglasses - we'll exit through the back door, feeling - 'nuf said. . GMZ, MFB, JIJ, RJS Letter to the Editor ... ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dear Editor: Saturday, October 5, 1963, is the date set for tne first student planned Parents' Day at Wilkes. This event is completely in the hands of the students and it is for this reason that the student body should give the event their complete support. We are counting on seeing you and your parents at Parents' Day. Stephen Van Dyck Parents' Day Planning Committee Dear Editor: lt is encouraging to note the implications of the outcome of the honor code survey poll. Two hundred forty-three students feel that further attempts at establishing an honor code on a trial basis should be made. The matter has been publicized and discussed fully. One pertinent observation of the outcome is the interest taken by the students. Regardless of their feelings _for or against an honor code, five hundred fifty-four students have expressed their particular feelings as the result of the discussion. They are to be commended. Sincerely, Gail Roberts The Apathetic Onlooker . . . writes a 'Student Sketch' Jack Hardie Olsen Schroeder We feel that by this time everyone is surely familiar with the name Olsen Schroeder; as he spends most of' his time in the library, however, few have ever met the 'real' Olsen and we have therefore selected Mr. Schroeder as subject for our 'Student Sketch' this week. Olsen doesn't like the idea but did agree to pose for our artist and an.s wer a few questions. 'l'his in itself presented a problein ·as we found it unnecessary · to put to Olsen the usual questions th~t a college student may be asked, as "What do you especially like about the student body in general?'-', "How do you feel about the proposed Honor System ? Ii, ·or "What do you want to be when you grpw up'?" Our sketch will then have to content itself with the less important aspects of this student's charming personality. Olsen B. Schroeder, a junior English major, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Throtley Mong Schroeder and a foreign exchange student from Netcong, New Jersey. We asked him of his educational career; "Wilkes," said Olsen, removing his cigarette to give us one of his winning dour frowns, "is not the only school I have ever attended." We were taken aback for a moment, not being aware of the existence of any other schools, but he continued, "I first pursued my studies at the Jack and Jill Day Nursery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida." When we inquired as to how Jack and Jill compared with Wilkes, Olsen answered, saying that there had been no student parking problem, and "The studies were more rewarding. Now take blocks, there was a course; 'Each block represents an idea,' Miss Sturdley had said, and we actually built things out of the blocks rather than just scatter them about the way college students do." We further learned (continued on pa~e () I I NEWS and VIEWS oy Doug Bennington Lord of the Flies, written in 1954 by British novelist William Golding, tells the story of a group of English boys who, while .being uown from England during an atomic war, crash on an uninna.bited island somewhere in the Pacific. Their survival without adult aid in their new "state of nature" requires some sort of organization and cooperation. Ralph, the chosen leader, attempts to establish order which will hold the boys together until they are rescued. )ack, jealous of Ralph's leadership, and inierested in monetary pleasures, organizes a band of "hunters" which seperates from tne original group and takes most of its members. The actions of these hunters become increasingly primitive and savage until, at the end, Ralph is the object of a "hunt." Bis life is spared by the timely arrival of a British war ship which rescues the boys. This is a brief outline of an exciting and horrifying novel which expresses Golding's pessimistic view of human behavior. he has piaced his characters in a situation where he has shown symbolically his interpretation of human society. Golding has ctescribed Lord of the :flies as ., ... an attempt to trace the defects 01 society back to the defects of human nature. The moral is that the shape of a society must depend on the ethical nature of the individual and not in any political system however logical or respectable. The whole book is symbolic in nature except the rescue in the end where adult life appears, dignified and capa.bie, but in reality enmeshed in the same evil as the symboiic lite of the children on the island.... " Readers of Lord of the Flies will undoubtedly draw various conclusions concerning its meaning; some may see it as merely an adventure story, while others may see it as a description of "original sin" at work, a story of the inherent depravity of human beings that shows itself when certain conditions are present. Since the novel expresses the author's views through carefully selected words and symbols, it might be wise to resist the temptation to either accept its theme as literally true, or to reject the book as too morbid or far-fetched. The debate whether or not "human nature" is "good" or "evil" has been raging for centuries among philosophers, theologians, and laymen. Evidence for and against both beliefs has varied with the centuries; assuming that either concept exists in fact, the evidence of the twentieth century would seem to support those who believe that the nature of men, with few exceptions, is evil, destructive, murderous, if not controlled by an external force. The horror of Lord of the Flies is increased when one realizes that Golding has diabolically placed young boys in a situation where there are none of the formal restraints of the adult world. Without the restraints of civilization, in a "state of nature", the boys behave as though they were adults at war; the corruptions and evils of the adult world apparently found an outlet in these children, when the opportunity arose, much as an undetected disease will destroy healthy, normal men. Lord of the Flies is open to various interpretations, depending on one's personal philosophy, experience, and range of knowledge. To this reviewer, it represents a subtle, if horrifying reminder that there are destructive forms of human behavior wnich can emerge once the fragile bonds of human society cease to control its members.

Hidden amid all the fuss and furor over the prospect of final examinations and graduation, an event is scheduled to take place at the end of this month that will, in all probability, go u n noticed throughout the Free World. France is expected to stop living under a legal state of emergency at the end of this month according to official sources. Most of the world, and indeed a majority of Frenchmen, have forgotten that such a state has existed in France for the past two years. It is perhaps one of the last vestiges of the Algerian conflict and of President DeGaulle's supreme effort to counter opposition to his program for the eventual settlement of the Algerian problem. Now the war which drained France for seven long years seems very distant, and the intense political furor has subsided into virtual token opposition. How did this state of emergency arise and what did it entail? Formerly, this state of emergency had only applied in Algeria, when in 1955, as a result of the Moslem rebellion, Parliament authorized the French Government to impose a breed of martial law, power remaining in civilian hands. This extreme measure provided for the • • • I virtual suspension of all public liberties, and of due process of law in cases of persons or organizations suspected of subversive activities. A military revolt in Algeria in April, 1961, however, led President DeGaulle to further extend the emergency to cover continental France. Under the stringent provisions of the emergency law, scores of rightwing critics of DeGaulle's policies were sent to "internment" camps simply on administrative decision; many others were held incommunicado by the police without charges for periods up to two weeks. In addition, the decree also authorized the seizure of all publications considered to be subversive in any way. This, in turn, prompted the immediate seizure of several rightwing newspapers, reviews, and books. Many observers wonder whether measures such as these are compatible with the spirit of democratic government, and raise serious doubts concerning the future of France as a democratic state and above all the future of French liberty. While a sigh of relief has been expressed, it should be noted that even if the state of emergency decree is lifted this month, a more recent law has provided for the setting up of a permanent State Security Court, which will allow the police to hold political suspects ( continued on page 6) �Friday, May 24, 1963 wn.n:s 3 COIJ.EGE BEACON The College Loses Mademoiselle Dworski Grand 'Partage de Midi' For Mademoiselle At Saint Mary's College Music Major Accepts Offer lo Play With Leopold Stokowski al Scranton Senior pianist Thomas Hrynkiw has accepted an invitation to play the "Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto" with Leopold Stokowski in Scranton next September.

Participating were Rosemary Rush and Douglas Kistler, affirmative, and Claire Sheridan and William Holmes, negative. Outcome of the three-round tournament was a split of three wins and three losses for the College. The debaters attended tournaments at Harpur, Lehigh, Temple, Marywood, City College, King's, and Bucknell University. A tally for the academic year s h o w s twenty-three wins and six losses for the affirmative, and twenty wins, nine losses for the negative. Some of the teams defeated were Colgate, Harpur, St. Bonaventure, LaSalle, City College, St. John's, Penn State, Temple, New York University, Marywood, and King's. The coaches, Miss Lord and Mr. Budd, f eel the teams did "admirable" work. At the second tournament at Harpur College, Doug Kistler and Dave Levy received awards for individual speaker performances. Kistler ranked fourth in a total roster of two hundred debaters. At City College, New York, Levy was voted second best affirmative in the tournament and was three points away from the top award.

S. by Mary Alice Gabla A fresh point of view toward the United States is oft en difficult to find within the country. Wilkes campus, however, offers nine opinions that aren 't likely to be subjective. These exist in the per sons of the College's for eign students : Ayo E. Ayangade, N igeria, West Africa; Kuniko Ishihara , Kobe, Japan; Eliud W. Kabun go, N yeri, Kenya, Africa; Jang Hae Kim, Kyang Buk, Korea; Carol Mayer, Johannesburg, Union of South Africa ; Kyriaki Nanou, Salonika, Greece; Hogen Oh, Seoul, Korea; Rudolf Schonfeld , Bolivia, South America; and Sanjo Shoyinka, Nigeria, West Africa. When asked about the United States and the impression it has made upon them, each saw the country with a unique view. Only a few aspects of the United States were mentioned by all nine. An example of the variety of points mentioned by the students is Ayo Ayangade's surprise that the United States manifests a hope Nick Alesandro presents the I.D.C.

At this point, Olsen glumly lit two more cigarettes and became silent again; we did learn, however, that when he graduates from Wilkes, Olsen plans to obtain his Bachelor of Science degree at Bloomsburg State, and perhaps get a good job in a factory, writing poetry for the Beacon in his spare time. As far as the world situation is concerned, Olsen Schroeder feels that elementary schools should begin offering Chinese lessons in the early grades and he admits looking forward to the big January White Sale being planned in Birmingham next year.

But now that she's spent a few years here she stands in awe of the United Nations' efforts for peace through understanding. Carole Mayer says she was amazed with the availability of higher education in th e United States. Ever yone seems to have "equal oppor tunity" in this regard -"something which I ha ve not fa ced anywhere else during my years of travel." "Kuni" says that the extra-curricular activities tied to our educational system appeal to her. Until her visit to the United States, going to school meant solely class att endance and studying. American Kindness America's kindness was the common denominator in each interview. In one form or another, this quality impressed the nine foreign students. Rudolf Schonfeld, who once resented the wealth here, now sees our r esources as the very tool for putting under-developed countries on their feet. Our charity to others has made Rudie pro-United States. The respect for human rights displayed within the United States had a profound effect on Ayo Ayangade. He noted that the individual r eally counts and that our continual concern for one another expressed in little comments as "I like your dress," and "You're a nice guy," are important ways to encourage one's efforts. P erhaps Jang Hae Kim discovered the ultimate effect of the United States' concern for other countries and for one another when he called the U .S. an "affluent country". Despite the extremely heterogeneous population "Kim" sees us as well united for national interests. To him the U.S. citizen is extremely hard-working, thus a ccounting for our tremendous productivity. Even though he admires much about our culture, Kim - like the others - hesitated to recommend the ways of the United States as the best. Instead he asked whether or not the "American tree" would survive if planted in foreign soil. A variety of op1mons on different aspects of living in the United States are offered by these foreign students.

The three-game winning streak of Coach Schmidt's baseball team ground to a halt Wednesday afternoon as the Colonels were stopped by Muhlenberg College in a 7-6 contest. A five-run rally by the Wilkesmen fell one tally short and the Mules gained the final edge. The Mules also garnered six in the seventh. Trailing, 7-1, going into the seventh, the Wilkesmen exploded for five markers on a bases loaded single by Russ Frederick, an infield single by Len Yankosky, a bases loaded walk, and a sacrifice fl y. The team record fell to 3-8 with the loss. Richie Klick, Bob Fleming, and Nick Gentile pitched for the Colonels. Klick was the loser. The hardballers will wind up their season with contests against Scranton and East Stroudsburg State, today and tomorrow. East Stroudsburg has already won their division championship and were invited to the NAIA Tournament. Scranton is one of the stronger teams in the MAC, and proved it by handing Stroudsburg an 11-5 pasting a few weeks ago. by JIM JACKIEWICZ, Sports Editor THE LAST HURRAH Now that the present semester is drawing to a close, along with the year's intercollegiate athletic campaigns, we think it fitting and proper to review, for avid readers, the fortunes of our beloved athletes during the past year. Although a few of the College's teams enjoyed moderately successful seasons, it may be said that for the most part Wilkes College athletes took an inferior position in Middle Atlantic Conference standings. Football Einhorn, Self-Taughl Tennis Player Gains'Alhlele of lhe Week' Honors Gary Einhorn, junior business administration major and member of the Colonel net squad, has been named Beacon "Athlete of the Week" this issue. Gary, who hails from Belle Harbor, New York, attended Far Rockaway High School where he began his tennis career at the age of fourteen. He explained that tennis players may be divided into two classes, those who have had instruction and know all the shots and fines points of the game, and those who are self-made, playing much by instinct with an unorthodox style. Gary is of the vian, Gary lost to Bill Carter. latter school. His first contact with tennis was at a park near his home where he watched the game and decided to try it. His first year on the high school team was rather uneventful but after a slow Under the able tutelage of first-year head coach, Rollie Schmidt, line coach Frank ~pudis, and backfield mentor Jonah <..ioobic, the football team enjoyed its most successful season since 1954 as they posted a 3-4 record. Although they dropped four contests, the gridders were outscored on the season by only ll points, 10'/-90. Paced by such hard runners as Ed Comstock, john Gardner, Frank Wallace, and Ted Travis-Bey, the Colonels presented one of the most devastating ground games in the MAC. Prospects are bright for next season as there are only six seniors leaving the squad. Soccer Jim Fenis' soccermen posted a 4-6-1 record on the season. The hooters' offense was inadequate as it accounts for only 10 goals in 11 games, while the opposition collected 23 tallies. Uoalie John Adams recorded three shutouts on the season while the Colonels were blanked on four occasions. Although the The tennis team lost a close team was composed generally of underclassmen, seniors Adams, match to the Muhlenberg College Chuck Weiss, and Erwin Guetig will be lost through graduation. team, 5-4, on the Wilkes courts These three are the all-important last-line defense of the Colo- Wednesday.

However, Wilkes came back with a great deal of power and swept the three doubles matches. Bill Douglas, the only winner in the singles, extended his unbeaten recor d to 10 straight wins. Wilkes closes their season this Saturday when they play host to Scranton. Singles: G. Einhorn, W , lost to D. Schoenly, 3-6, 6-0, 7-5. B. Klein, W, lost to E. Simon, 7-5, 6-2. D. Austin, W, lost to M. Brassler, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5. G. Frank, W, lost t o B. Edington, 3-6, 8-6, 6-2. J. Ca r r, W, lost to S. Smythe, 6-2, ti-4. B. Douglas, W, won over J. Henderson, 6-4, 6-3.

Basketball Little need be said of the basketball team. A record of two wins and twenty losses for an .091 percentage is indicative of the caliber of play shown by the Davismen. Seniors Harvey Rosen and Bob Fleming led the scoring with 387 and 304 points respectively. In spite of the fact that Jim Fenis has replaced Ed Vavis as head coach, the outlook for next year is still dismal. Wrestling Coach Reese's grapplers copped a 5-3 record on the season and finished in sixth place in the MAC Tournament. For the past two season's the l:leesemen have been trying to regain the MAC crown which they wore for five years previously. The era of Wilkes domination of the MAC is over. Wilkes failed to gain a single individual title in the Tournament. John Gardner placed hignest with a third in the 16/-pound division. Swimming Lack of personnel and adequate pool facilities hampered Coach Ken Young's swimming team as they limped along to a 1-5 record. Jack Barnes put torth some outstanding individual efforts, but on the whole the team was below MAC standards. Spring Sports Although incomplete as of this writing, the Spring schedule of intercollegiate athletics has brought with it a number of surprises. Generally the baseball, tennis, and golf teams have enJoyed moderate successes thus far. Each of the teams was hampered by the late emergence of Spring weather and was somewhat slow rounding into adequate condition. This is especially true of the baseball team. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Baseball After dropping their first seven games, sometimes by lopsided scores, <.,;oach Schmidt's hardballers have won their last three (not including Wednesday's game). Beset with an amazing total of enors in the first seven contests, the Schmidtrnen did an about-face and played enorless ball in their three victories. The mound staff led by Joe Kruczek, Bob Fleming, and Richie Klick turned in three brilliant efforts and the hitting has picked up. Defense changes instituted by Schmidt appear to be the main reason for the new-found success. Tennis One of the brightest spots of the athletic program has been the tennis team. As of this writing, Coach MacFarland's netmen have a 6-2 record, plus an additional victory over King's in an exhibition game. The team is a cohesive unit and will lose only Captain Bill Klein via graduation. Bill Douglas is undefeated in eight singles matches and has an excellent record in doubles competition. Newcomer Don Austin and veterans Bill Klein and Gary Einhorn also have impressive records. Golf Coach Welton Fanar's golfers are engaged in a so-so season and are hampered by the loss of some key personnel from last year's squad. Captain John Adams and John Occhiato, among others, have been playing fine golf. Epilogue Thus, we have a picture of 1962-63 Wilkes College athletics. Next year will bring ne'?' teams, new competition, and a new Sports Editor. This last innovation will be looked upon with untold delight by a few individuals on campus. Apparently I have incurred the disfavor of these bastions of "school spirit" during the course of my writings in this colum. This however, is of little concern to me. The comments and criticisms expressed in this column during the year were always intended to be constructive, rather than derogatory, as many believe. It is unfortunate that such an interpretation was made. I cannot experience remorse over those few who were offended. Gary Einhom start he continued to improve and eventuall y lettered in the sport three times, being named team captain in his senior year. In his last outing, against Mora- Against Scranton University the previous match, however, . he had no trouble downing Ed Reilly, 6-0, 6-0. Gary's record on the year now stands at four wins - five losses in singles, and seven wins two losses in doubles. In spite of his ups and downs in the singles matches, Gary has played consistently good tennis all season. Gary remarked on the depth and balance of the team as a whole, along with the improvement of returning lettermen and valuable new additions to the team as being the reasons for the successful season the netmen a r e experiencing. Presently, Gary is secretary of both Warner Hall and the Jaycees and at the annual Sports Award Banquet was honored with a tennis award. Gary has planned what appears t o be an interesting summer. He will spend six weeks at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland,•taking a course in British history, literature and philosophy of the period between 1688 and 1832. As far as hobbies go, Gary likes the usual things with sports ranking high, especially softball and basketball. For his efforts in the laudable accomplishments of the tennis team this season, Gary Einhorn is this issue's "Athlete of the Week." Named "Outstanding Athlete of the Year" by the 'Beacon,' Bob Herman is presented with the trophy symbolizing that honor by Jim Jackiewicz, Sports Editor of the 'Beacon..'

The main change he the yearbook. The main change wishes to introduce will be the publication of the Amnicola during summer vacation instead of distributing the yearbooks at the end of the semester. This will make it possible to include commencement activities in addition to the activities of the entire second semester. The books will then be mailed to graduating seniors and dorm students, and arrangements will be made for the rest of the ;;tudent body. Although this will mean increased work for the staff, the students will have a more complete picture of the year's activities. Next year's staff will include: Keith Ackerman, assistant editor; Mike Landesman, business manager; Bill Williams, photographer; Henry Wilson, picture editor. ATTENTION SENIORS!

Located on the second and third floors will be additional stacks with shelves of metal, which could be added to as required, in order to meet the eventual goal of 250,000 books and bound periodicals, whi-:h would represent an increase of 190,000 volumes over the current 60,000 pieces.

The valuable collection of the deceased Gilbert McClintock, one-time President of the Board of Trustees, will assume its new home at the Weckesser building along with Admiral Stark's Pearl Harbor library as well as Polish books now maintained by the Committee for the Polish Room.

For the Beacon Editorial Staff it tnarks the beginning of our year's tour of duty and, quite naturally, with all the enthusiasm of a fledgling staff, we are anxious to set forth the ideals and objectives that will propel us through the next year. The basis for these ideals and objectives can be found in our conception of the function of the college newspaper. As set down in the Editorial Policy of the B eacon, the purpose of the student paper is "to keep its readers fully and accurately and truthfully informed. As long as a paper does this, it can promote its own policies." The basic policy of this year's editorial staff will be to encourage the use of the Beacon as a unifying force to knit together all campus groups into an integrated whole. Even on a relatively small college campus such as ours, the individual student is too busy with his major course of study and necessa rily limited range of activities and friends to keep abreast of all academic and extra-curricular activities. On the other hand, we on the B eacon staff have the facilities and organization to examine each facet of campus activity and present a synopsis to the busy student so that he can feel a part of the " whole" rather than just an isolated atom. We also have the facilities to extend the scope of student discussion from narrow circles of acquaintances to the entire student body through the avenues of our feature and letters to the editor columns. By thus acting as a clearing house for student activities and discussion, we feel that we can facilitate communication between divergent groups on campus and we urge the student body to use us for this purpose. We honestly feel and we wa nt you to feel that this is your newspaper. WELCOME BACK The B eacon staff, as spokesman for the student body, exte nds a hearty welcome to our President, Dr. Eugene S . Farley, who is back en campus after his recent bout with ill health. We' re glad to have you back at the helm again, Dr. Farley! ORIENTATION- RECIPROC AL PROCESS We dedicate this issue of the B eacon to the incoming freshmen- the class of '67 who are " made for heaven. " These next few weeks belong to them, and rightly so, for they are the ones that will carry on the tradition when we are gone. How they carry on depends to a considerable extent on how well they are oriented to campus life right from the start. Richard Shemo and his Orientation Committee have done a thorough job of preparing a program that will set these newcomers off on the right foot but, of course, their groundwork will be useless without the cooperation of every upper classmen. However rather than making the usual appeal to the noble instincts of the upperclassmen, we ask them instead to consider the advantages that the orientation program holds for them. Too often orientation is thought of as a one-way process- we aid the frosh who are passive recipients of our assistance. But, in reality the relationship is a reciprocal one. Each freshman comes to campus with the enthusiasm, interest, and unblurred vision that we jaded upperclassmen have often left far behind us. In sharing the experiences of our "little siste rs and brothers" we are virtually forced to take a second look at the institutions and functions around us. Thus, forced to reexamine the "familiar'', we find things we hadn't noticed before or that we had forgotten. This taking stock of our attitudes and emotions is not only challenging but profitable- we may even make a complete about face and start off in a new direction pointed out by our freshmen guides. This possibility coupled with the satisfaction reaped by helping out a fellow student- we all remember how it felt to be "green"- certainly makes the orientation process a profitable experience for both frosh and old timers.

The Ballot Box by Vince McHale TO TEST OR NOT TO TEST? THE QUESTION A side from the rece nt civil rights demons tra tions a nd racial le n3ion, perhaps the most d ebated topic in Ame rica during the pas t few weeks has been the possible pa rti cipation of the United States in a Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty. Fears have been voiced hy those opposing I.he move tha t the Treaty is littl e more than a Communist trap d esigned to weak e n our country milita ril y. P e rha ps this is true ; but will the ratification of the Tes t -B a n Treaty rea ll y weaken our defense e ffort as those against the m easure claim it will? It is the opinion of this writer that i t won' t if certain pos itive steps a re taken now. The program - The United States m:ist improve our conventiona l ground forces a nd weapons. America is a strong , powerful nation in possession of a powerful nu clear dete rrent; but what else? The mighty a rmi es and navies that won World War II have a ll but di sappea red , and in their p!ace a whole n ew array of a dva nced atomi c weapons and mi ssiles is receiving the energies of the U.S. d e fense effort in the remote expectation of a possible World War Ill. But, alas, Wor ld War III has not occurred prima ri ly because ea ch s id e fea rs the other too much. L est we forget, our s ta ted a bility to defe nd our idea ls a nd w:; rld com mittme nts has only been tested once since the end o f World War II in Korea and ended in a sta le m ate. Why ? Perhaps too much e m phasis a nd research was pl aced on weapons we never intended to use , instead of conve ntiona l forces. Just to cite one sad exam ple, the U.S. 24th Division e nroute by s hip from J a pan to Korea was understrength and only partially equipped ; in fac t its leading e lem ent was overwhelmed while being flown to the ba ttle fi eld. From experience s uch as t his , it is no surprise th a t many of the s maller countri es of Southeast As ia a re not impressed with our stre ngth a nd power. How can we convince the lead ers a nd citize ns of a sma ll country open to communist a ttack that we possess a powe rful nuclea r force to defend the m when underneath it is extremely doubtful that America would unl eash s u ch weapons in the s mall country 's defen se. A s how of strength m ea ns just that, the a bility to produce g round forces on the scene. The Bay of Pigs fi asco was not due to any lack of a irpower or naval gunfire, there simply were not enough m e n on the ground. Of what benefit a re all the nuclear weapons when the world s ituation today makes the infantry man or guerrilla soldie r th e d eciding factor. The United States has been a d voca ting som e typ e of Tes t-B a n Treaty for a long time a nd it would heap untold difficulties upon the U.S. if the Senate re fu sed to ratify this Trea ty . How wou ld the U.S. explain its lack of good faith abroad? What would be the world image of the United States? DICK BURNS In a n effort to reduce academic a pathy Student Government hopes to act as a n agent, co-ordinating a nd publicizing seminars s ponsored by va rious clubs a nd groups on campus. " Ki cking up issues", according to Dick, is not only a mea ns of rousing the students but can act to broaden their thinking as well . Mr. Burns' opinion of the cam pus social life is bluntly . . . " all wha t you make it." But even in this a rea Student Government plans to help. A project proposed for this year is turning the gym into a Student-Union Recreation Center once or twice a month. Various indoor s ports and games would be set uptable tennis, card games, chess, along with provisions for dancing a nd refreshments. According to Dick the social calendar for Student Government sponsored activities is much the same for (Continued on Pag e 4) I hope Ame rica has lea rned its lessen from history. The supreme effort of President Woodrow Wilson to establish the L eague of Na tions was wasted with the Senate's refusal to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, setting the stage for World War II. Everyone agrees that in dea ling with the Soviet Union ca ution must be exercised. Aga in this lesson ca n be learne d from Theodore Roosevelt who stated in 1905: " I like the Russian p eople, but I a bhor the Russian syste m of government and cannot trust the word of those at the hea d ." And from Lenin him self who stated: "The strictest loyalty to Communist ideas must be combined with the a bility to make t he necessary promises, -to scheme, to s ign agreements, to zigzag, to re treat ... a nything to haste n the coming to power of Communism." Since, in the past the Soviet officials have refused to come to terms, it can only be concluded that it is now to the best advantage to enter into such agreement. But is isn 't all to Russia's advantage ; the United States can benefit too. Defense Secretary M cNama ra was extremely specific in stating that the Treaty will not hamper or prevent d evelopment of effectice anti-missile weapons. The Treaty will result in monetary savings that could be dive rted into more produc tive chann els, s u ch as in creas ing and improving our conventional ground forces. The deces ion is wholl y up to the Senate. The Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Directors of the AEC a nd CIA have a ll urged ratifica tion provided certain safeguards are inserted. To those conserva tives who oppose ratification, I say America must awake to rea lity to those idealists who consider the Treaty a p a nacea to East-West tensions, the Cold War continues una bated. There is no doubt that the nuclear arms race will continue. The Test-Ban Trea ty does, however , represent a flickering of hope that th e pace may be slower. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday , September 20, 1963 Page 3 Up COLONELS HAVE DEPTH, SPEED, POWER BASEBALL POLL FOR WHAT ITS WORTH With the advent of the major league baseball campaign last spring, the purple prognosticators of the BEACON sports staff, in liason with certain other fearless forecasters outside of the campus limelight, ventured into the twilight zone of the sports world to predict the outcome of the current pennant race which is fast drawing to a close. With the N ew York Yankees having things sewed up in the American League and the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals being the only two National League clubs given permission by Commissioner Ford Frick to print tickets, the BEACON omniscient oracles decided to take the sacred fleece from their dusty crystal ball and take a look at how its marvelous metaphysical manipulations of the sacred stones a nd voodoo sand paintings has fared. OUR PICKS The With es College Colonels make their 1963 gridiron debut in an encount er with t he Flying Dutchm en of L ebanon Vall ey College on Septem ber 28. The Colonels did not play L ebanon Valley last y ear and by adding the D utchm en to the schedule W ithes increased its campaign from 7 to 8 games. This year the Colonels will be feeling a little queezy in the midsection as far as their forward wall is concerned. Bob Herman, recipient of acclaim from the Middl e Atlantic Conference and Athlete of the Year last y ear, was lost through graduation as were co-captains Jerry Mohn and Bill Me neely. At the tachle spot Charles Cherundolo was also lost via the graduation rout e and L en Rishkofski is recovering from an injury. Winning Combination If Luck Doesn't Go Sour Things are not so bleak as they migh t appear at first glance, however, Coa ch Roland Schmidt has been beefing up the center of his line, a nd there are several freshma n ca ndidates for the team who are oeginnin g to turn out. One in particular, Tom F lo .-es, has drawn favorable mention from some of the upperclassmen. Ed Comstock, one of the fu llbacks, remarked that F lores is always smiling and one of the nicest people you'd wan t to meet. On the field it's another story as . Tom becomes one of the hardest hitting lineman Ed says he's run inb (literall y) in a long time. Returnin;'l" e nd Ron Grohowski remarked on F lores in the same manner. Adonizio. Both boys are seniors giving the freshman new comers a littl e experience to lean on. Coach Schmidt seems to have little to worry abou t in the backfield. There is depth a nd experience at every p:isition, with added speed and power. Don Brominski will be handling most of the signal calling with Tom Trosko to back him up. Trosko also played good defensive EootbalJ in 1962. At the receiving end cf any aeria ls emmanating from the quarterback spot will be Roger McLaughlin and Ron Grohows ki, both returning junior lettermen. John Gardner will be returning at the halfback spot and newcomer, Ed Brominski, may be his running Two more bright spots on t he line mate. The actua l starting line up is will be Pete Winebrake a nd Cha rl es s tilJ somewhat fluid. Ted Travis-Bey is having knee trouble but will provid e depth at that position. The fullback position is well laden with ta lent in Ed Com stock and Gary Popovich. Comstock was the Colonel wo rkhouse on several occasions last season and has good speed. Pop:::;vich sacrifices speed for a little more power and both boys s hould see quite a bit of action this season. Coach Schmidt has a lso added a few new series of plays to the Colonel repertoire as a nd added punch to the attack. The team is a nxious to ;'l"et started on this year's schedule, confiden t of a winning season.

Sobbing, I ripped open the envelope, turned it upside down, a nd gloried in the s ig ht of that thin, white Paper (!uttering to the floor. Religious ly , I bowed to the East before even daring to touch that Paper. To insure against its being a mirage, I wa lked around It three times as though it were the precious kaaba stone. Slowly, I knelt before It, lifted It to my lips, and kissed It. 0 Schedule, prayed I, how do I think of Thee? L et me count the ways.

The meeting will be held in McClintock Hall at eight o'clock. Originally planned as an interes t group for English majors, the group has expanded and is now open to everyone on campus. The purpose of the Forum is to offer each student the opportunity to discuss current events, literary giants, and the histories of various items. The topics a re of the student speakers' own choice and, therefore, of general interest to every college stude nt. Past topics have included the study of h a iku, the history of the guitar, the life of Socrates, progress ive education , a nd impressionisti c art. The subject of each speech is then analyzed midst coffee and cookies. Mr. Gutin ca lled it a " highl y s uccessive yea r" for the Forum, and stressed that all a re we lcome to join. EMPLOYMENT SEMINAR The emp loyment program as well as the recruiting schedule for next year will be presented to the Seniors by Mr. John J. Chwalek on Monday, September 23, at 8 PM in Stark 116.

Tending to be a little close-mouthed at first, the frosh spoke openly when they learned they were being interviewed for the Beacon, a nd not for hazing committees. Upon being told that the questions would concern every topic from the GOP nominational ticket to sex, one frosh stated bluntly, ''I'll take the last." However, the interviews largely concentrated on academic ideas ra ther than, uh, sccial ones. R easons for choosing this College for their education were varied, but tended to follow the same course. Maryann Patoka, an elementary major from West Pittston, stated that she was "influenced by friends." Art major Bob Smith said that he lea rn ed of the College from his fathe r's fri endship with a local editor. L y nn Waller, from Rosell e, N .J ., appreciated t he size of the campus. H oweve r, upon being asked her rea so n , Margie Pearlma n , from th e Bronx, la ughed and said, " I can't tell you his name." Comments on the recent Miss America pageant a lso proved to differ, in mcst cases, from the judges' choice. John Krip, a n accounting majo r from Cranford , N . J ., se lected " Mi ss H a waii ", as did Joseph Jerrytc n e from Kingston. Th en asked what be thought of the United States' new quintuplets, Jerrytone eq uipped , " As Dr. R eif says, 'It's a good thing they ' re in the sa m e species'." Elaine Geba, a representative from Kearny, N.J., ca lled the birth "q uite a feat." Yet m ost women voiced the opinion of biolcgy major Carol Cas tner, from Ply mouth . " It's a wonderful thing, but I wou ldn't want to be in Mrs. Fische r's s hoes. It's just too much to ha ndle at one time, " s he said. Miss Castner had just ha d h e r firs t college English class which , to many students , is a frightening experie nce. She stated, " I felt comfortable because the teach er knew what s he was doing. " Concerning t he most outstanding features on ca mpus, Betty Dougherty, from P lymouth , offered her choice, " D ean Rals ton-he's a striking m a n." Asked what was most interes ting, she succinctly said, ••••••••••••••••••••••• Dalon's Fireside Room 248 Wyoming Ave ., Kingston * * * One of the Nicer Places to Di ne Ste ak s & Sea food - Our Sp eci alty ••••••••••••••••••••••• also Manicurist & Sh oeshine HARRY SONNY "Boys." She is a psychology major who pla ns to teach. The frosh appeared to be we ll -informed concerning current n ews. The question of integra tion arose a nd Lynn W a ller, a Fine Arts major, be lieves it should be a little more orga nized. Laceyvil le's Dan Rosencra nce, a chemistry major, sta ted, "Th e Negro s hould have a n equal opportuni ty in ed uca tion a nd employment. On the other ha nd , we shouldn't blindly try to shove the N egro and the white together. The differen ces are too great." R :isencrance, asked what his first impression of the College was, sa id , "The genera l lay-out of the ca mpus is physically pleasa nt." Representatives of Slocum Hall added an extra attraction to the interviews. Last year, Slocum Hall was a girls' dorm. Apparently, s ome " relics" have been left from thi s era. Frank Wychoff, a his tory major rrom South P lainfield , N .J., said that pajama tops and bl ack -laced pa nties we re hanging from the m a ntie before a red-faced coed claimed the tops. The panties remained until some frisky chap threw them to Russ Shallross. And they a re now hidden deep in the pocket of Sha llross' jacket. Shallross, from Roselle P a rk, N.J ., sta ted that h e chose Wi 1kes becau se he ca me here to spe nd a weekend and liked it. He is a business adminis tration major.

This was primarily due to the fact that at this time of the year, most of the academic and athletic programs had been completed, and the glimpse of college life which they rece ived was without the depth and variety usually prese nt during the academic year. This year, however, through the combined efforts of Mr. Hoover's Parents' Day Planning Committee, and the entire student body, a program will be pr.ese nted in an entirely different atmosphere. Parents will be given an opportunity to observe campus activity as it is actually experienced by the students . Th e foo tball and soccer ga mes, individual exhibits of academic techniques, consultation and discus sion with professors, and informal talks with parents of fellow class mates will all be part of the day's activities. A great deal of work has bee n put into the setting up of this plan, but its method of execution remains up to you. Although each parent has received an invitation, it may take some initiative and display of interes t on your behalf to co nvince them to become a part of this program. Remember, this is your experiment, and only you as an individual can decide whether or not it will be a success. J.f.K.

Every cou ntry in the world seems to have its rebellious, nonconformist youth , who scorn and rid icule all authority whether they are the " T eddy Boys" of Great Brita in, "Les Blazons N oirs" of Fra nce, or even our ow n Amer ica n brand of problem yout h. Curiousl y enough and des pite a ll precaut ions taken by the government to insure a hermetica ll y sealed a nd conformist society, the present youth of the Sov iet Union are no different from the ir cou nterparts around th e globe. The Sov iet problem youth a ppea r to be stratifi ed into several levels, each refl ect ing a differen t outlook and each represent ing a different eco nom ic plane of the Soviet soc iety . Perh a ps th e m ost whi spered about, yet n ever offic ially acknow ledged group, for reasons apparent, is the "Jet Set. " This group is composed of bri ght youngsters of the elite class who are bored w ith the drabn ess of their su rroundings. By virtue of their parents pos iti on, those of th e ("Jet Set" have plenty of rubles to spend a nd relish hi gh living, mea ning black market recordings of h ot jazz records, smuggled cop ies of Vogu e and The N ew Yorker, a nd fancy cl othes. They desp ise a nd scorn their less-fortunate contemporari es. On a different level a re th e Stilyagi (sty le-ch asers) who are nothing more tha n yo ung hoo li gans, zoot-suiters, or pl a in juvenil e delin quents. These youngsters are commonly referred to as "Teddy Boys" or mitrofanushki. H an ging out at restaurants a nd bistros, they sport long si deburns and other eccentric dress, gyrat ing to th e rhythms of boogiewoog ie a nd rock'n'roll. The Stilyagi consider themselves to be sophi sticated and emanc ipated from the norms of Soviet soc iety. One reason for the Stilyagi is aga in the unbearable fru strati on th at seem s to affect young peo ple in the Sov iet Union, even as it smites youngsters in the U.S. The U .S. does have teen age ga ngsters, but in Russi a much less opportunity for outl ets ex ists than in America. Most young peop le in the Sov iet U nion have nothin g to buy, nothing to do a fter schoo l, a nd no where to go. Frustrati on leads to exaggerated behav ior leading ultimately to the depths of alco holism . The problem h as become quite ser ious - as with juvenile delinquency in the U.S. Recentl y, the Pres idium of the RSF SR issued a decree to " intens ify the struggle aga inst petty hooliganism" and "save Moscow's honor." The decree spec ified tha t a ny " Teddy Boy" or zoot-suiter picked up for " minor outrages" is su bj ect imm ediately to arrest a nd imprisonm ent for a period of 3 to IS days without a ppea l! Ko mso m olskaua Pravda, the Soviet youth journa l, describes the Stilyagi as such: " Who is not fami li ar with these utterl y repulsive young men, wi th their ultramodish jackets, thei r ultrati ght and ultrashort tro users and their eccentr ic neckti es of a ll colors of the ra inbow, and with an air of self sat isf ied stupidity on th eir faces? . . . Or with the eve n more di sgusting girls, w ith their p itiful bristles of cropped hair, and their shoes that remind one of caterpi ll a r tractors." The lesson tha t can be learned from all thi s is the a pparent uni versa lity of problem youth throughout the world. Desp ite a lmost 46 years of Communist struggle to remake the "Soviet Man ," free from the ev il s of the ca pita list ic society. th e present Russ ian youth are no different from their contemporar ies in ot her lands. Too many times we tend to view a country's troubles only in terms of their internati on al affa irs and poli tica l tensions, when in rea lity it is the interna l probl ems that are most crucia l. Youth is a force to be reckoned wit h a nd m ay one day sp lit th e Soviet U ni on wide ope n. ✓ �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, September 27, 1963 Krieger Does Summer Work In Congressman's Ollice by Joyce Lennon were a pprox imately 400 students from th e entire co untry serving in the capital.

College launch their 1963 gridiron attack against the Lebanon Valley Flying Dutchmen, at 2:00 o'clock in th e Kirby Park athletic fie ld. The last time Wilkes went up against the Dutchmen was in 1960 when the Colonels dropped a 14-8 dec:sion at Annville. It seems that Lebanon Va lley has always proved an immovable object to the Wilkesmen. Coach Schmidt's grid machine will be out to avenge past embarrassments and try to gain on the total log compiled with the Blue and White. In a series which ran from 1953 to 1960, the Colonels were able to win one game out of the eight contests. The Schmidtmen will also be shooting to improve last season's 3-4 record, and may accomplish that feat with some thing to spare if their fortunes are not hampered by any mishaps. It seems that several of the Colonels are hurting from mJuries incurred from their recent practice sessions, but the team appears to be well drilled and in excellent condition. This season t liere appears to be added desire and determination from the Colonel camp. The boys are anxious to put their long hours of practice into actual use. Line Shaping Up Originally it was thought that the line might be considerably weakened by the loss of some key players from last year's squad, but some shifting and sifting by Coach Schmidt has seemed to balance the line quite nicely. Pete Winebrake is being tried at the center spot as an attempt to compensate for the loss of Bob Herman. John Makaravitz, a freshman who attended Wilkes previously in 1959, is also a ca ndidate for the center position. The Colonels looked very good in a scrimmage against King's earlier in the season and last Sat11rday exhibited a !(real dea l of fight and spirit in an intra-squad scrimmage. Jokoto Looms us New Trend in Self Defense by Merle Bolen In the past several years there seems- to have been a great dea l of interest in self defense courses. Perhaps the first form of self defense to gai n popularity was the Japanese art of Jui-Jitsu is primarily concerned with balance, and the object is to produce a fall. Apparently, Jui -Jitsu became a little tame for the average self-defender and a more devastating means of self preservation called Karate, gai ned momentum. Unlike Jui-Jitsu, Karate is performed primarily with the hands. Calouses are developed along the outside edge and down the little fin ger making the hand into a lethal weapon. The forming of these calouses enables the Karate student to break wooden planks and tile blocks in a demonstration of his ski ll. In actua l fi ghting it is almost completely effortless to break the ribs or other bones of an opponent. Yet another mode of self-defense has appeared recently, which is even more lethal than Karate. This new form which includes both J!li-Jitsu Dutchmen Look Strong In an attempt to give some idea of 10w Lebanon Valley measures up to ·:he Colonels, last season the Flying ')utchmen were clobbered by Drexel 34- 12 whi le the Dragons squeezed by vith a close 14-12 decision over Wilkes. However, in other games Lebanon Valley fared much better :han the Colonels. The Dutchmen sou ndly drubbed Moravian 30-8 and downed P.M.C. 12-0, whi le Wilkes lost '. o Moravian in last season's opener 1.6-6. The Cadets of P.M.C. steam·olled the Colonels 30-0 in a game ·vhich Wilkes seemed to play under a rain cloud. Both Wilkes and Lebanon Valley beat Ursinus, the Colonels dow ning the Bears 12-6 and Lebanon Valley winning 21-12. Though these scores are not an accurate indication of the outcome of tommorrow's game, it is interesting to see how the two schools performed against mutual opponents. The Colonels were learn ing under their new coach last year. This season, Wilkes has had more time to spend on practicing thei r attack. If the Colonels can provide some interference for their strong backfield, Coach Schmidt and his boys should have a banner year.

This season an attempt will be made to for ecast the outcome of some of the major college games being played in the nation. For a better vantage point from which to consult with the spectral powers of the Great Beyond, I will take my assorted paraphernalia and perch myself upon a well chosen limb to make my first selection. Florida State over T .C.U. - Florida upset Miami last weekend with brilliant play from quarterback Steve Tensi and halfback Fred Biletnikoff. I feel they will do it again agai nst T .C.U. and their star fullback Tommy Crutcher. Southern California over Oklahoma - Defending national champs Southern Cal, and the powerful Sooners of Oklahoma square off at Norman, Oklahoma. The Trojans, featuring guard Damon Bame, halfback Willie Brown, quarterback Pete Beathard, and All -American end Hal Bedsole, will be too tough for the Sooners and fullback Jim Crisham to handle. Washington over Pittsburgh - This game pits a powerhouse of the West against a powerhouse of the East. Pitt has a big line which averages 226 pounds, but Washington's new "I" formation will penetrate this seemingly immovable object enough for the Huskies to come away with t he bacon. Miami over Purdue - Miami, upset last week by .Florida State, wi ll gain its first win at the expense of Purdue. All-American quarterback, George Mira, had a bad ni ght last Friday. He won't have two in a row. Air Force Academy over Colorado State Fresh from an upset over Washington, the Falcons wi ll continue to fly high. Army over Cincinnati- Coach Paul Dietzel of Army had to abandon his three team system because of rule changes, but by the looks of the Black Knights rout of Boston University, Dietzel has appeared to overcome that obstacle. Cincinnati just doesn't have the power to out manuever the Army. Navy over William and Mary The Middies, wi.th quarterback Roger Starbuck and halfback Johnny Sai, routed West Vfrginia. William and Mary will get \he same treatment. Syracuse over Kansas - Syracuse is on the rebound in college footba ll and face a tough opponent in the Jayhawks. The Orange line averages 228 pounds, and this factor is enough to stop Kansas. L.S.U. over Rice - L.S.U. ventured into the Southwest conference last week and beat Texas A&M. I pick L.S.U. to repeat itself. Georgia T ech over ClemsonTech's defense and quarterback Billy Lothridge will make it a long afternoon for A.C.C. standout Clemson. While tough in its own league, Clemson is no match for its strong intersectional foes, as last week's loss to Oklahoma proves.

VARSITY AIDS IN OWN DOWNFALL Up by Clark line, Sports Editor In Europe, one of the major sports -~ pastimes is automobile racing. Countries all over continental Europe and Great Britain meet on such historic and famous battlegrounds as Le Mans, • the Mille Miglia, and the Nurburg ·'Ring, to literally test the metal of their machines. The European iron includes the worlds best, with such names as Ferrari, Jaguar, and Maseratti. Currently in this country there is a revival of sports car racing which calls to mind an era of magnificent machines driven by men whose nerve and devotion to their profession is unsur• pass~d in sports history. Such names as Phil Hill, Stirling Moss, and Dan Gurney are among the present day drivers who have distinguished themselves and their cars. But, according to Ken Purdy, in his Bantam publication entitled, "The Kings of the Road," a man by the naml' of Tazio Giorgio Nuvolari was the driver who surpassed all others, past and present, in skill, nerve and racing acclaim. Born in Mantua, Italy in 1892, Nuvolari began racing automobiles in 1921 after gaining fame as a motorcycle racer. He placed 2nd in his class • that year in the Garda Circuit (his first race), and returned the next year to place 2nd overall. It was not until 1924 that he won the Tiguillio Circuit, his first major victory. From 1924 to 1927, Nuvolari returned to the cycles. In 1927, he placed fifth in the world's toughest race, the Mille Miglia. The Mille Miglia was a gruelling 1,000 mile (Mille Miglia means "thousand miles" road race beginning at Brescia, running through Rome and returning up the Italian "boot" through Florence, Milan, and back to Brescia. Nuvolari completed the course in 16 hours, 18 minutes, and 59 seconds in winning. He was the first man to average better than 62 miles per hour on the course. OWES FAME TO DARING In his lifetime, Nuvolari was to go on to win 64 of 130 races, 54 of them being won regardless of engine class. In all, he won 12 grandes epreuves (first rank) and 49 grands prix. With Nuvolari it was win or tear your machine apart trying. Yet it was not only the remarkable ability of Nuvolari to win which elevated him to the pinnacle of the greatest driver in the world. Nuvolari's unshakable courage was actually responsible for his enviable record. Once, in his cycling days, he was confined to bed for a month, which would have caused him to miss a race. His friends carried him to the track at his request, in spite of the fact that he was in a cast, and seated him on his bike. He won the race. Another occasion found Nuvolari in the Monte Pellegrino in 1950. He had to fight to bring his automobile back to the roadway after one wheel had dangled over the edge of a cliff. To Nuvolari, this incident was commonplace. He himself recalls an incident which found him faced with the predicament of being forced to leap from a racing car which was engulfed by flames and traveling at 100 miles per hour. ·Near the end of his career, Nuvolari v/as unable to contend with the gas fumes from his engine and after several attempts to correct his ailment, he finally capitulated. Nuvolari died at horrie in 1953, after 29 years of racing magnificence which was in itself a significant and remarkable accomplishment. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Headquarters for Lettered . ..

LEWIS - DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER GRAHAM'S by Don De Franco Last Saturday afternoon the Wilkes varsity soccer team suffered a 3 to 2 loss at the hands of the Alumni in a hard-fought contest at Kirby Park. Fifteen graduates appeared for the game which is played annually. The Alumni drew first blood when three minutes after the opening whistle had sounded, Paul Beers' boot took a freak bounce and skittered by varsity goalie Louis Szabados. The varsity, not to be outdone by the old-timers, came roaring back and tied the score with co-captain Walt Prusakowski's thirty-foot boot. ·············································Q··· rrosh! lle1-e J II uelc,,ne gi(t ,,.,,,, 7Ae llul, l/111-,it~ ~A,p 11 E.

The remammg minutes of the first quarter and most of the second quarter were dominated by the varsit)'. Led by the passing of junior half-back Al Gilbert, the Ferrismen threatened to score innumerable times but were thwarted each time by the strong Alumni defense of Erwin Guetig. In the waning moments of the second quarter, the Alumni organized their forces and began a determined drive toward their opponent's goal. George Gaucha zipped one into the net and the Alumni led at the half, 2 to l. The varsity struck back with vengeance in the 3rd quarter and tied the score with a goal by Ted Gourly. The contest remained deadlocked throughout the third and most of the fourth quarter. Then, with two minutes left to play in the game, the Alumni scored the goal-winning tally on their second freak play of the afternoon. One of the grads boomed a towering kick toward the varsity goal, and it fell between Paul Beers and an unidentified varsityman. In the ensuing struggle for possession, the varsity member butted the ball the wrong way and it sailed past his teammate into the net. The Ferrismen tried desperately to score, but time ran out before they could mount an effective attack . An outstanding sideline of the game was the outstanding play turned in by Walter Grey a junior transfer student from Annapolis, Walt teamed with the Alumni since he is ineligible to compete with the varsity. His addition to the squad next year should do much to bolster their offensive attack. Former Wilkb stars who challenged the varsity wete: George Gacha, Erwin Guetig, Charles Weiss, Lou Davis, Ronald Simms, Joe Morgan, Bill Lloyd, Frank Lepore, Charles Billings, Clyde Roberts, Ken Stocker, Charles Stocker, Paul Beers, and Mike Lewis.

Directed by Mr. Al Groh, these plays are situation comedies that "make a satirical thrust at our society and the conventions we accept." I Spy, which will run approximately fo rty-five minutes, involves the eternal triangle of wife (Beverly Hanko) , husband (Al Airola), and lover (John Jarecki) . The action of the story involves the attempts of a private detective to find evidence concerning the wife's escapades. Also included in the cast are Anita Minelli and Joe Muccino. In C ecile, the heroine, played by Ruth Friedlander, plans an elopement which her distracted father tries to Friday, September 27, 1963 prevent. Marc Hirschman, as the father, defines his role as "difficult", due to the quick changes of voice and temperament. Joan Pitney considers her part as Araminthe, Cecile's governe ss, as "sixth-d imensional." Harris Tobias plays Araminthe's father, and quotes his favorite line as being, " I was hotblooded when I was twenty." Ed Lipinski assumes the part of Cecile's lover. Bill Pucilowsky has designed the sets for both plays. The set for I Spy proved to be quite complex, because it requires three different acting areas which will be lighted when used. Stage managers are Ed Lipinski and John Jarecki. Lighting will be handled by John Krip, Bill Pucilowsky, and Ed Lipinski.

In tallying the votes, the committee d iscove red th at 140 members of the senior class cast ba llots. The turnout was one of the largest ever witnessed at a spec ia l election. Ninety-one seni ors voted for Miss Roberts whil e 49 of them cast ba llots for Mr. Smithon. Th e elect ion of Dick Burns as Student Government pres ident for the 1963-64 yea r necessitated the electi on.

In last week's senior class student governme nt election., approximately 70 % of the seniors voiced their opinion through one of the largest student votes recorded in recent ljears . This sizeable turn-out - larger than that of the general elections last spring - astounded many . In view of the lacadaisical attitude of the student body in the past and the fact that this interim election is not usually an attention-getter, this lively response seems to in dicate a change of attitude; a sudden recognition of the fact that the function s of student government are of vital interest to all of us . Even th e most disinterested sophisticate among us cannot escape the influe nce o f the council's decisions which reach into every realm of student life. In the past many of us blithely igno red our governing body until we wanted something from them or until thi;y took action w.e disagreed with; then we labeled them inefficient or " do-nothing." All of us want so mething from student government eve n if it be o nly the reflected glory from the goo d reputation that an acti ve, progressive council can gain for a school. If we want something, common se nse dictates that we go after it. To in.sure an efficient student council which will accomplish what we think it should, we must lay the groundwork by se:~ing that the bes t qualified people are elected and then cooperate with them . Disinteres t and lack of participation are self-defeating. Let's fac e facts - there are only 17 student govern ment represe ntatives out of a student body of 1300. Th erefor e, student government is what we make it. , Th e se niors have obviously realized this. '\Ve hope that it won't take the fr:~s hmen quite so long. OUR FAIR SHARE With the kick-off of the United Fund Drive on. campus tonight will come the perennial questions " Why a drive on. a college campus - especially since many of th e students are non - residents ." Th e answer to that question lies in the fact that Wilkes is a community college and balancing the bene fit s reaped by a community college are the obligations. Although community aid is give n freely to the school, we have a moral res ponsibility to repay it, at least in part. One way of doing this is by a contribution to the community United Fund from the college as a unit, thus carrying our " fair share" of the community burden. The amount we are asked to contribut.e is small - only $1.00 per student an amount that we all fritt er away in one or two trips to the "ca f" . But it is significant because it symboliz.es recognition of our debt to th e community . HEIRLOOMS AIRED The Beacon has decided to hold over its giga ntic picture offer. Wednesday , in the cafeteria, a view ing will be held featurin g such ex-cam pus celebrities as Ophelia O gle ("Miss South River St." , 1947) and Sen. Sam Snertz (D .-Alaska) . These heirlooms are go ing for the in.expensive fee of one nickel. Should someone not have this amount available, five pennies will be accepted. Exhibit will be held all day . 11/Atlt • 11/Ae!4e Friday, October 4, 1963 • Letter to the Editor Often we hea r students sayi ng that they are not particularily concerned a bout co llege and what it has to offer. There are th ousa nds of high school graduates who would like to attend the co ll ege of their choice but cannot because the college is already strai nin g its limits of capacity.

The island was forme rl y an unincorporated territory of the U.S. being ceded by Spain as a result of th e Spanish-American War.

In th is time of wo rld tension and cold war, which can turn so eas il y to the hea t of the sun, we all have a normal human tendency to grow deaf to the constant warnings and threats deli vered to our country from home and abroad. by Doug Bennington CHURCH AND STATE IN AMERICA The principle of separation of church and state, a long accepted dogma of American democracy, is aga in rece iving public attention primari ly a~ a result of recent U nited States Supreme Court dec isions affectin"g relig ious practices in public schools. The public response to th ese dec isions concerning official schoo l prayers (Engel vs. Vitale ) and read ing from th e Bible in the nation's publ ic schools (Murrau vs Curlett) vari ed from ca lm if reluctan t acceptance to h ysterical denunciation of the Supreme Court. Siner two traditional religious practices of American public sc hools were declared unconstituti onal, a rather ',eated national debate arose over the function of reli gion in the schools. From th is often confusing debate a quest ion may arise in the minds of many Americans for the first time: what is the relat ion between reli gious belid, individual and orga ni zed, to the political sphere in modern Am erican society? Jn Ameri ca the relati on between reli gion and the politica l sphere is based on the separation of Church and State. This separation, in law and in practice. places the Church as the organ;zed. institutional expression of individual faith and as a provider of spiritual , ethical, and mora l beli efs for its adh erents in an "officially" separate, di sti nct area in society from that of the State, the politica l overseer of the secular, tempora l rea lm of society. Separa ti on of Church and State, however, is more d ist inct in theory tran practice in America, a factor which is often overlooked in debate co ncerning religion and politics. Illustrations of what Americans say and wh at they do in connection with reli gion and the State will be cited in future a rticles. The separation of Church and State is a complex issue which is often entangled among the thorns of unthinking emotion, bigotry, and a struggle for power and influence among reli ~ious groups. In enter ing the arena ·vhercin spokesmen fo r reli gion or the State confront one another, one may ·nff.t the " purist" who beli eves in a b~o lute, comp lete separation between Cl1urch and State or the "adjuster" who seeks to find a middle way between the needs and demands of the sacred and the secul ar, without violatir l!'. th e Constituti on a nd tradition. T he writer makes no pretense of understanding fully the diverse forces, pass ions. and lega l points that suryound th e topic, yet it is important to bring to the attenti on of students an asnect of nati ona l life that is too often taken for gra nted reli gious liberty in a comp lex. industrial soc iety. That wi lJ be the subject of tliis column for the next few issues of the Beacon, sta rting next week with an examination of the histor ical roots of se pa ration of Church a nd .State. cve r, it has one of the hi gh est living standards in Lat in America making it an enviable econom ic " plum" for Cuba's Fidel Castro. The prime feature of Puerto Ri ca n economic developm ent has been "Operati on Bootstrap," one phase of which has establish ed more than 600 new fa ctories on the island. r The current political rel ationsh.ip between the U.S. a nd Puerto Rico has been somethin g of a puzzle, being compared by many to a "mass of modeling clay." While it appears to be permanent and durable, one ca n shape and mold it in any way one pleases. Repr€sen tat ive Ad a m Clayton P owell (D-N.Y.), hav in g a wife and home in .. Puerto Rico, regards the present political relati onsh ip with the U.S. as little more than "perfumed coloni alism." Powell has of late come to be an outspoken advocate of statehood for the tiny Commonwealth, and it has been overhea rd that his long range asp irations ca ll for a U.S. Senate seat for Puerto Rico in th e near future. The present Commonwealth Governor, Luis Munez Marin, considers the ex isti ng political relat ionsh ip as a "new form of politi ca l freedom in ha rmony with economic freed om," whatever th at means. Governor Munez is a firm supporter of the present Commonwea lth sta tus but on a much firmer basis with the U.S. But what of the Puerto Ricans themselves and their direct relationship with th e U.S.? This is perhaps th e most confusing of all. Technically, they are U.S. citi zens, but they do not vote in national electi ons, nor do they have voting representation in Congress. Most important of a ll, they do not pay federa l income taxes. Puerto Ricans do, however, pay Social Security taxes and receive Social Security benefits. Exc ise taxes co ll ected on goods manufactured in Puerto Ri co and duties collected in Puerto Rican ports do go to the Puerto Rican Government.

This week the Beacon has chosen fullback Gary Popovich as the outstanding grid star for his performance in last Saturday's contest with the Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley College. The six foot, 215 pound, Chemistry Major hails from Meyers High School where he lettered in footba ll, basketball, and baseball. At Wilkes Gary also contributes his efforts to the baseball team and is currently a mem her of the Chemistry Club. A transfer student from Lafayette College, Gary has managed to maintain a high level of academic ach ievement. Gary was selected as an outstanding example of determination, endurance, and rugged grid play. In Saturday's game Gary excelled by consistently carrying the ball for good yardage on a drive wh ich paved the way to the on ly Colonel touchdown. On many occasions Popovich refused to be brought down as he bulled his way through the line of the opposing defense. He also provided some key offensive blocking which led to major Colonel gains into Dutchmen territory. Although Gary is primarily known as an offensive threat, he is also resprcted by opposing ball carriers. He contributed to the defensive attack by smashing through the Dutchmen line to break up Lebanon Valley plays before thEy got a chance to start. Bfcause of his speedy offense and crus'1in •'. defense Gary Popovich has been selected as recipient of this issue's Beacon Award. It was a discouraged Wilkes football team which returned to the dressing room after losing the season's opener to Lebanon Valley 30-6. Although weakened by graduation losses, the Dutchmen put together a strong backfield combination in Wes MacMillan, John Vaszily and John Kimmel. It was these three who produced Lebanon Valley's two touchdowns. Vaszily tossed a pass to Kimmel for the initial score with Bill DiGiacomo booting the PAT, and MacMillan scored the final tally on a run. ·wilkes' main problem seemed to be lack of cohesion. The Colonels failed to put up a sustained attack in a contest which saw them go from hot to cold. However, the middle of the line , feared to have been weakened by graduation losses, performed admirably in forcing Lebanon Valley to go to the outside for any appreciable yardage. Another factor appeared to be spotty pass defense and blocking which could use just a little edge. Wilkes saw some fine runs turned in by Gary Popovich and John Gardner. Popovich, at fullback, bulled his way for extra yardage and in addition played a stell ar defensive game. Gardner made several fine runs around the ends which netted good yardage for the Colonels. He also scored the lone Wilkes tally. Ed Comstock and Ted Travis-Bey also chipped in with some ~ood runs. Travis-Brey had one esp: cially nifty punt return. MORAVIAN STRONG Tomorrow Wilkes faces a tough opponent in Moravian. The Greyhounds appear particularly strong, with a wealth of returning lettermen, including quarterback Andy Semmel and end Pat Mazza. Both Semmel and Mazza were named to the MAC Northern Division first team last year.

Yet, Lebanon Valley plays again this year a Moravian team, wh ich is almost in tact, and which clobbered the Cutchmen last year 30-8. Actually, Lebanon Valley 's respect for Wilkes was not simply a fear of the dark. The Colonels have a potential powerhouse, if only enough spirit flickers to set it off. Tomorrow may be the day, with Colonels at home on Parents' Day. It may be that the Moms and Dads will give the gridders a little extra moral support. Wilkes, with a sol id line and good backfield. could go through the season in fine shape and come up with a g:ood year if the Colonels develop an attack wl::ich attacks every second of the game. Ferrismen Downed By Warriors of Lycoming by Donald Defranco Traveling to Lycoming last Saturday for the first regular season contest, the Wilkes soccer team was handed a 3-0 defeat by the strong Warrior hooters. Lycoming scored all of its points in the first quarter and then sett led down to protect its lead. The first goal came within the first five minutes of play on a boot by Lvcoming center forward Feigley. The other two goals for the Williamsport squad wrrc scored by Burr and Whitney, and this completed the scoring for the quarter and the game. Although caught napping in the first quarter, the Ferrismen stood firm in the remaining and thwarted the Lycoming drives. Junior goalie Louis Szabados turned in some fine saves to keep the Colonels' hopes alive. This year Coach Ferris' hooters are relatively inexperienced, but they have the potrntial to develop into a fine team. The defense, following last week's baptism of fire in the first quarter, has jelled into a solid, deterrent force, but a well-balanced, scoring offense must be developed if the team is to have a winning season. Next week the Colonels will play two contests, one with East Stroudsburp: on Saturday, Oct. S at the Wilkes Athletic Field, and the ot her at Stevens on Wednesday, Oct. 9. The game with Moravian was played on Wednesday but tloe score of that game was not available at the time of this writing. Page 3 Crocked Crystal Boll Replaced By Astrology Book In Forecasts Last week disaster struck. I picked 5 right and 6 wrong for a lowly .45 percentage. During the week, I traded in my old crystal ball for one new astrology book, and I am going to use the stars to help me. The top upset of the week was Southern California's loss to Oklahoma. Southern Cal played an aroused Oklahoma team, but their loss was primarily due to a rule which I feel has no place in college football. Late in the fourth-quart.er, a Southern Cal end recovered a Sooner fumble and broke into the clear for a sure T.D. , but was called back because of a rule that the defensive team cannot advance a fumble by the offensive team. The whole idea of defense is to get the ball and the rule hurts the defensive team, who could possibily score a touchdown in the excitement of a fumble . This ru!.e cost the Trojans the game, and most likely a second national championship. Pittsburgh over California - Pitt has a new look. An offense lead by Q.B. Fred Mazurek and a line averaging 226 pounds. California lacks depth and their Q.B. Craig Morton has a bad knee. Georgia T ech over LSU Tech's combination of quarterback Billy Lothrid ge to end Billy Martain plus their strong defense will stop LSU, hurt by the new substitution rule. Fullback Canny LeBlanc is their big threat. Northw estern over Illinois Both squads are very strong but Northwestern quarterback Tom Meyers makes the difference in this Big Ten clash.

DEADLINE FOR SENIORS PIX NEARING GET YOURS TAKEN NOW. A provis ion to extend the National Defense Education Act for three years and to make substantial expansions in the student loan program has been approved by the Senate Education Subcommittee under the chairmanship of Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon. The NDEA renewal was inserted by the Subcommittee as an amendment to the new vocational educational bill which recently passed the House of Representatives by an overwhelming majority. The bill now faces two immediate hurdles : approval by the Senate Labor and Public W elfare Committee and approval by the Senate itself. The House is now awaiting Senate act ion. According to Mr. Arthur Hoover, assistant dean. this program affects nearly 5CO W ii/res College students. In view of this large percentage, the student body may wish to support the bill.

Pirst, those Senators on the Labor and Public Welfare Committee may be wired or called at once to be urged to do everything possible, so that tl, e NDEA will remain part of the bill when reported out by the committee and to support Favorable action on it. Second, in regard to t',e senators who are not members of the committee: you may wire, call, or write ask ing them to support the retention of NDEA as a part of HR 4955 when it comes up for Senate floor action, and to vote for the Bill. Both committee and floor action are imminent, so if you wish to support an NDEA Extension in this session of Congress, it is important to act promptly.

Even though it wi ll not take place until October 25 and 26, Student Government is already busy making the preliminary preparations. Homecoming will officially begin on Friday night with the traditional parade to Kirby Park where a bonfire will be held. After these ceremonies, a sport dance will follow at the gym. Leslie Tobias and Marie Shutlock arc in charge of these activities. On Saturday afternoon, the football teams of Wilkes and Drexel will meet at the Athletic Field. During the pregame ceremonies the selection of Homecoming Queen will be made, and a guest speaker will be featured. At half-time the winner of the various displays exhibited on campus will be announced. The actual selection will have been made during Friday night's bonfire. Dr. Farley di splays the typical friendly attitude which prevailed at the first Annual Fall Parent's Day Program last Saturday. Over 500 parents participated in the day's activities which began with registration in the morning, and concluded with the Manuscript film, and the Cue and Curtain plays that night. Due to the favorable response to this Parent's Day Program, future plans are being formulated for a possible Parent's Weekend next fall. Homecoming would not be complete without the traditional dinner-dance. This year it will again be held at the gym with the cost of tickets approximately $4.00 per couple, although this price is not yet definite. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 EDITORIAL • • • • • • Friday , October 11, 1963 • LET'S GET WITH IT by Jack Hardie and Olsen Schroeder Apathy on the part of our student body manifests itself on many occasions throughout the year. School sponsored social events, campus drives, and other projects usually meet with failure because of the lack of individual participation. One might attribute his imperviousness to lack of personal interest concerning the particular event taking place, and his position may be well stated in this respect. However, on October 18, we as students, will be confronted with an appeal, the material purpose of which directly concerns each one of us vitally. This appeal is from the Red Cross for the donation of blood by the stµdents and faculty . Although at first glance it might seem that students would offer their support to such a program, experience has shown that only 137 out of a possible 1200 donors took an active part in the same program in the past. It is my belief that this poor turnout is due primarily to the fact that many students do not fully understand the purpose of the blood program. Each donor who participates in the program is entitled to receive blood, fre e of charge, for himself, family , or friends whenever the need arises. Combine this material benefit with the self-satisfaction derived from one's contribution and every blood donation becomes well worth the effort. Our goal, this year, of 200 pints can be reached only through a concentrated effort on the part of the students and faculty alike. Wouldn't October 18 be an ideal day to disprove the apathetic attitude theory existing on our Campus? JJK When Al invited me out in his convertible, how was to knew it was a motorcycle with an umbrella? This is something of an unusual column. Perhaps Freshmen and other students unfamiliar with almost everything should be first acquainted with our purpose and procedure here in our initial appearance this year. We express ourselves, to begin, in the editorial plural; not because Hardie and Schroeder desire to represent themselves with journalistic schizophrenia, but because we should like to identify, when we write "we," with certain of the campus groups, related to us by age, sex. apathy, or a common moral indi gnation. This is our manner; our matter should be explaining itself all year. Thus, the typical column here would begin with the observation, for instance, that the famous Joyce Kilmer Oak (that under which he is supposed to have written a poem) was recently cut down because it was diseased. Opening in this manner, we would then venture to say that it was about time, and let us now determine whether or no "Trees' itself is beyond the help of surgery; and so on.

Oxford cloth shirts show an ivy league or Macmillan collar and frature either long or roll up sleeves. Th ese s11irts come in black, red , navy, an<l pale shades of pink, blue and green. Somet imes they are delicately pin-striped; occasionally they show a Philadelp'1ia collar. For the madras ,11ad fans. madras blouses are ever p:ipular. If you want a blouse that makes talk, select a paisley print. The biggest sweater of the season is the V-necked pullover in the softest mohair imaginable. Its colors are ripe as harvest: corn gold, bonfire red, and heather green. Crew neck cardigan slip over sweaters earn college credits. Silk screen prints and conservative cash- mere creations complete the sweater story. Skirt styles run the gamut from straight and narrow to circle full. In betweens include the A-line, the swing skirt, the box pleated, the fan pleated , and the cone. Each season more and more fash ion houses are making their ski rts proportioned to just the ri ght length. Bright woo l plaids and solids provide cheery color and cozy warmth. Collegiate best seller this Fall is the "schoo lotte." The schoolotte is cul otte and kilt in one with the length admissible at any college. Color mated separates lord it over the fashion picture in or out of class. This season corduroy separates are merged in two leading colors, covert green and mall ard blue. These se parates go together like salt and pepper and are the spice of every gi rl 's wardro be. The A-line or straight sk irt may be mated with a print blouse or jacket. The play shift may be accompanied by its matching blouse. Wilkes is comprised solely of students whose fathers attended college during the l 920's, and that these fathers all encourage "Junior" to fo llow in his frivolou s footsteps. We would then predict that within the next few yea rs every member of this particular hall wi ll be sporting bulky fur coats, racing roadsters to Dallas "roadhouses," swallowing goldfish, and st ill stealing bells, statues, and other landmarks from neighboring colleges. "Is it right to steal from other schools just because they have superior athletic teams? Is it wise to lower the level of modern education to the rubbish of the twenties?

Less than twenty-seven people attended this group's largest meeting; some were curious, some skeptical, a few interested, and little more than two, dedicated and experienced. These two, as mentioned in last week's Beacon, are Margie Harris and James Tredinnick. Miss Harris of Chapman Hall, trained for a number ,. of weeks before school this semester with CORE groups in Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia; she participated in the August Peace March on Washington, is well acquainted with the organization and very able to answer any questions that may be put to her concerning her experiences with the organization. James Tredinnick, also involved in the racial action last summer, hitchhiked to Danville, Virginia where he spent eight days in jail. His bail was • paid by the NAACP and he is on campus now, "out" on bond, faced with some eight " trumped-up" charges. Jim went to jail for what we all, as educated people, believe in our souls. Jim asks that all students come to the CORE meetings; the college administration is solidly behind this group; so is The Onlooker; come to the meeting and see what some are doin g for what we all stand for. Continued on Pc:ge J LETTER TO EDITOR Tonight is Thursday October 3, 1963, and I have just spent an enjoyable evening watching Cue and Curtain's performance of two magnificent plays, I Spy by John Mortimer and C ecile; Or the School for Fathers by Jean Anouilh. The acting done by students of Wilkes College was superb in my estimation. However, thi s is not the purpose of writing this arti cle. Out of a theater that could seat approximately one hundred people, on ly fifteen to twenty seats were occupied. This lack of school spirit and intellectual quest is quite evident on this cam- _ pus. This is not the on ly instance. Seminars of many different topics and interests are arranged for students by the Student Governm ent Seminar committee; yet only five or six people show up out of a student body of twelve hundred. Not only is an intellectual quest lacking, but school spirit at athletic events is at a miserable low. One does ,. not hear the cheers and songs echo round the grounds of Wilkes, as has been tradition. Our cheerleaders carry on faithfully, but without student support their efforts are wasted. As college students we have to take an active interest in the world about us. We can not stand by and allow a small group to carry the ball. The··e is no reason for one to be ashamed to shout and cheer for the home team; or to turn away, or laugh while the band plays the a lma mater. W e have to stand up and do something, or as Wilkes College students we are fai lin g in our role in life. Stuart A. Jed �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 11, 1963 Page 3 Who's Afraid of J. D.

Inter.: (seeking professionalism). What are your interests in music? Mr. M.: Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach. Estragon: (pompously to Vladimir). Rawther a regular sort of chap, wouldn't you say? Vladimir: (to Estragon) Rawther. (Estragon and Vladimir return to typewriter and papers, respectively, looking as though they are again, enamored with their own thoughts.) Mr. M .: All right, then Stravinski and Bartok. Inter.: Have you any interest in sports? (Estragon and Vladimir eye each other meaningfully, then direct their attention to Mr. M.). Mr. M. : Well, I do play tennis. I was a great basketball player in my high school days. I won the last cup for my school. Inter.: And what kind of theatre do you enjoy? Mr. M.: I like Greek drama and Shakespeare. In the American theatre, my favorites are Maxwell Anderson (Estragon and Vladimir, at the mention of this name, loudly moan and continue to do so until Mr. M. completes the sentence). - and Arthur Miller. (Estragon and Vladimir regain their composure and again return to their thoughts) . Inter.: (Seeking a determined look). Do you have any hobbies? (Estragon and Vladimir again eye each other meaningfully and direct their gaze to Mr. M.) Mr. M: (unsure of what this exchange of gazes implies). Well, I write, what I mean is, I write fiction; that is, short stories. I haven't published because I don't think I'm good enough yet. I did have some things in La Salle's literary magazine.

Now, the time has come for that all important question, "And how much do you love J.D. Salinger?" Mr. M.: (seated on edge of seat, eyes ablaze, thoroughly ready to answer).

Anything else? I mean, a bout American literature? Mr. M.: (very confident now). I think the best authors in American fiction are Faulkner, Wolfe, and Hemingway. I also think the best up-andcoming writer is William Styron. And, oh yes, I think there will be a breakthrough in American literary criticism based more completely on aesthetic value than psychological. Inter.: (attempts to end lightly) . Have you had any interesting jobs? Mr. M: Yes. I was a commercial seaman for Atlantic Refining Co. I met a seaman who loved Voltaire. Estragon: (aside). Really?

Exit Interviewer Curtains for 'I Spy' and Coils for 'Cecile' by Doug Bennington CHURCH AND STATE IN AMERICA The social thought of antiquity, especially that of Greece and Rome, identified the total social relationship of men with the political state of which they were a part. Stoicism, along with other philosophies of withdrawal from public life, stressed the self-sufficient individual to the point of almost totally excluding the claims of the state upon men for public purposes. A new religion arose which attempted to establish a balance between these extremes; Christianity insisted that men do not live strictly within a political framework because they have a private sphere - conscience and their relation to their God wh ich lies outside the domain of the state. Christianity also reinforced the traditional idea that men are social creatures who need the state and society for their earthly welfare. St. Augustine (354-430 ' A.O.) first described in broad, somewhat indistinct terms, the nature and relationship of the sacred and temporal spheres. In his view men are social beings, members of a great society living under the kingship of God, whose laws govern society and its institutions, including the state. The state provides order and security, enabling the Christian to seek his spiritual destiny in peace; for this basic reason he will obey civil authority. God's laws, however, as mediated through the Church and by which all human institutions are to be judged, must also be obeyed. If whatever the state commands contradicts God's laws, the Christian will not obey; no man owes an absolute obedience to the state. STATE VS. RELIGION St. Augustine did not develop a sufficiently precise theory that would have clarified many questions concerning proper political obedience and the separation of church and state. His objective was to place civil society in its proper perspective within a hierarchy of religious values. Unfortunately for both the Church and society in later centuries, St. Augustine did not describe clearly the boundaries of authority between the state and religion. The first attempt at a formal definition of church-state relations, and one which has proved to be the most enduring, was made by Pope Gelasius I in 494 A.O. The Gelasian theory became known later as the doctrine of the "two swords." In a letter to the Roman Emporer Anastasius, Gelasius pointed out that before Christ there were men who were legitimately both ruler and priest: "But Christ, knowing the weakness of human nature and being concerned for the welfare of his people, separated the two offices, giving to each its peculiar functions and duties. Thus the Christian emperor needs the ecclesiastic for the attainment of eternal life, and the ecclesiastic similarly depends upon the government of the emperor on temporal matters." The Gelasian doctrine was to become the basis of the traditional Christian position on church-state relations. Several points in the Gelasian doctrine are historically important : the repudiation of the idea of a theocratic state (in which priests exercise both spiritual and political power) : a distinction between the "regum" (the political sphere), the "sacerdotium" ( the sacred sphere), and their respective jurisdictions, ~ach supreme within its own area; the recognition that the two spheres could not be separated completely and that in certain cases, each must have authority over the other. During the critical period from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries, the Gelasian vi ew was ignored in the bitter political struggle between Church and state. POSITION OF SECULAR STATE Throughout this period certain spokesmen for the Church maintained that the secular state was institutionally subordinate to, and derived its authority from, the Church. In short, the "two swords," spiritual and temporal, belonged to the Church to be us"d as it saw fit. This assertion of religious dominance was nullified by secular power. A more moderate, modern vi ew, which indirectly and without design became a major part of the American practice of separation, was put forth by a French Dominican, John of Paris, in 1302. Concerning the relationship between the "two swords," John believed that both had different by Alis Pudlowski and Jeff Gallet One wonders how Cue and Curtain, Frute's line out of context, I Spy was from whom we have learned to expect "a bit of a nightmare." excellence, could have with complete honesty staged I Spy along with Cecile.

BOOTERS DOWN MORAVIAN, BOW TO E. STROUDSBURG IN 3-0 SHUTOUT AT HOME Coach Rollie Schmidt's grid machine steam-rolled the Moravian Greyhounds in the opening stanza of Saturday's Parents' Day thriller, but stalled on several occasions later in the game to drop a close 14-10 decision to the visitors from Bethlehem. Wilkes gained momentum in the first period of the game, behind the hard driving of workhorse Gary Popovich, and shifty running of Ted Travis-Bey and John Gardner. The Colonels drov~ deep into Moravian territory but were stopped by the Greyhounds on the six. At tr.at point, Ed Brominski put Wilkes ahead by way of a 2€ yard field goal. Even though the Colone ls failed to get the six-pointer, it appeared that Moravian would fall easy prey to a Wilkes team whicr. looked mucb sh arper than in the opener with Lebanon Valley. The Greyhounds were not to be outdone. Late in the second quarter, Moravian marched to their first score of the game which came on a two yard plunge by f-alfback Leo Todd, and Vince Seamr.n booted the PAT. At the half, it was Moravian 7, Wilkes 3. TRAVIS - BEY SCAMPERS Ted Travis-Dey sparked the 3rd quarter with a nifty 77 yard opening kickoff return down the right sideline to paydirt. The "Bey" looked sharp on several occasions, both defensively and on offense, in turning in a pass interception and several good runs besides the touchdown sprint. Once again the Greyhounds were not to be restrained. Moravian put together another long march which resulted in the final score of the game, via a Semmel-Riccardi aerial from the two. Seaman booted his second extra point of the afternoon. Wilkes out-rushed Moravian 212 to 182 yards. with Popovich picking up better than half 0f th at for the Colonels. The hig fullback had a 5.8 yard per carry average. After playing below par in the openrr, and last week's heartbreaker, the Schmidtmen are determined to spoil PMC's homecoming tomorrow. Wilkes appears to have the better team, but the Cadets will be up fo r the game. End Ron Grohowski added, " . . . but so will we." Last week, the Wilkes College soccer team played two games, nipping Moravian on Wednesday by a score of 1-0, but succumbing to East Stroudsburg by a 3-0 decision on Saturday. The hooters are 1-2 thus far this season. The contest with Moravian was hard fought , with both teams evenly matched. The Greyhounds, exhibiting excellent passing, threatened innumerable times but were thwarted each time by the stubborn Colonel defense led by goalie Lou Szabados. Szabados was the mainstay on defense, registering 20 saves during the game. Moravian took command immediately foll owing the opening gun and kept the ball in Wilkes territory during most of the first period. With booming kicks and smooth passing, the Greyhounds tried unsuccessfuily to penetrate the impregnable wall of the Colonel defenders. In the second period, the Ferrismen gathered their forces and drove toward the Moravian goal. The Greyhound defenders, however, refused tq , yield, and the first half ended in a scoreless tie. During the third period and most of the fourth, both teams tried desperately to score but were unsuccessful in · their attempts. The defenses of both teams played brilliantly, refusing to succumb to their opponent's attack. Then, with less than eight minutes left to play, Moravian committed an infraction and Dick Morgan was given a free kick at the goal. Morgan zipped the ball into the · net, thus sealing Moravian's doom. W inebrake (65), Grohowski (87), and Popovich (34) in pile up near Moravian goal. Winebroke Goins BE AC ON "Athlete" Award; EC AC Outstanding Lineman Teamwork and rugged line play, as displayed in last Saturday's contest with thi; Greyhounds of Moravian, have made Pete Winebrake recipient of this issu.e's BEACON Award. Pete's offensive blocks and more than sparkling defensive plays led him to receive further recognition by being chosen as the ECAC outstanding lineman for the second week in a row. Pete, who now resides in Butler Hall, is a native of Clark Summit, Pennsylvania, where he attended Clark Summit High School. Pete played four years of football and four years of baseball and lettered in both while attending high school. Upon graduating from high school, Pete then entered the 1957freshman class at Wilkes. After completing one year, however, Pete then set out to fulfill his military obligation and entered the Army for three years. With his tour of duty complete, Pete then returned to Wilkes, and to the good fortune of the Colonel football team. At Wilkes Pete also contributes his efforts to the baseball team and is currently president of the Lettermen's Club .

Anyone interested in joining the swim team is asked to meet promptly at the above times in the YMCA, where lockers will be available. Prospective members should provide themselves with old clothes or sweatsuits for the workouts. Navy over Southern Methodist Navy's quarterback. Romping Roger Staubach, is definitely the best quarterback in the country. Last week he broke his own Navy rushing mark, set the week before.

Paul Costa and Ji m Snowden over Purdue; Syracuse over U.C.L.A.; Wilkes over P .M.C. · are the top backs for the Irish. photo by Bob Cardillo most valuable linemen the Colonels have possessed in years. In Saturday's game Pete excelled on both offense and defense as he displayed a fine examp le of rugged grid play. On various occasions Pete craslicd through the staunch Moravian forward wall to completly stifle oncoming Greyhound threats. After a sample of Winebrake's defensive work, t be Moravian backs were a little more than slightly hesitant in running plays through the middle of the Colonel line. Pete is not known as the spectacular hero who bulls his way through the line to throw the opposition for loss after loss. However he is regarded as a steady defensive threat who seems to be at the right place at just the right time to thwart the hopes of his opponents. As co-captain of the Colonel squad, Pete is an asset which the team is fortunate to possess. Pete feels that if the team produces in Saturday's game with P .M.C. as it did last week, the outcome wi ll surely result in a Colonel victory. Shutout by E.S.S.C. On Saturday, October 5, Wilkes was completely overpowered by the hooters from East Stroudsburg State College. The men of the "Phys. Ed. Factory" outplayed the Colonels in every department in gaining the shutout. Scoring thrusts by Kuder and Grube put Stroudsburg on top at the half. The Ferrismen tried time and again to get into the scoring column, but were stopped on every occasion. In the second half, Wilkes tr ied unsuccessfully to score. The hooters were continua lly thrown back by the stubborn Stroud defense. Renno iced the VOCAL GYMNASTICS game for Stroudsburg with his 30 foot boot late in the fourth quarter, giving E.S.S.C. the 3-0 decision.

Goes culinar y wi th jo urna.lis tic stew This column may be called the Mulli gan stew of journalism, containing a littl e bit of everything and not very much of anything. W omen's Hockey T ea m Shaping U p T hat headline mi ght be taken literally. Mrs. Saracino is calculating a good year fo r the tea m. T he fi gures in her estim ate look pretty good to us. (Wh at else could we say after their 5-0 victory over Marywood?) T ravis-Bey Sharp Ted T rav is-Bey, Colonel scat back, gli ttered in gold on Saturday. The "Bey" scam pered 77 yards fo r a T .D . on the opening kickoff of the second half, besides intercepting a pass and turning in several other fin e runs for the afternoon. Good Show By Second T eam T om T rosko, generally a defensive qua rterback, took over signal calling chores in leadi ng the second stri ng backfi eld deep into Moravian territory. T rosko perfo rmed admirably and carried once on a n ice keeper fo r a first down . The team moved pretty ni cely but stalled on a 4th and I situation close to the Greyhound goal line. Popovich Retains For m Fullback Gary Popov ich retai ned hi s excellent form last week in gaining 111 yards on 19 carri es fo r a 5.8 ya rd average, and an ECAC outstanding back scroll. Not mea n ing to sli ght th e rest of the team, we feel that the squad as a whole pl ayed a good game a nd lost a heartbreaker. As I understand it, there were several m ix ups on plays sent in from the bench when th e Colonels had dr iven deep in to Moravia n territory. In our opin ion the score should have been more li ke 24- 14 in favor of W ilkes. T o Scorn Or N ot T o Scorn It may be well to state the policy of thi s page a nd thi s column. T he page wi ll conta in news of the sports world wh ich in the opini on of the sports staff is worth y of the attention of the student body. T h is column will contain, as an edi tori al, opinions of the sports editor and /or staff, little known fac ts, po ints of in terest, etc. I was asked by a member of the foo tball team to adopt a policy of favora ble publici ty. I would like to say, I will adopt a policy wh ich does not scorn the team mercilessly, but attempts to bring facts to view. ~ The women's hockey team has emba rked on its 1963 season, getting off on the ri ght foot with a wi n over Ma rywood Coll ege in the initial contest 5-0. The tea m appears to be one of the strongest since its or igin three yea rs ago. There are seven members of last year's squad returning to lead a wea lth of newcomers. It may be a little premature, but looking to prospects for next yea r, the future looks br ight, as there is only one senior, co-capta in Carol Plonna, on the current roster. Carol sh ares the capta in's duti es with Jo Signorelli, a jun ior. T he tea m practices ni ghtly, except weekends, by mean s of scr imm ages with such local high schools as Meyers, W yoming Semina ry, and G.A.R. Mrs. Sarac ino, the team's coach, is looking forwa rd to a bright season and is pleased with th is year's turnout. She does wish more girls would take an interest in fi eld hockey and other sports acti vities fo r women .

TAKE PEN IN HAND by Jack Hardie and Olsen Schroeder The recent news that the National Defense Education Act is up for renewal should be of interest to many of us, since nearly 500 members of our student body are now benefitting from the National Defense student loans. Needless to say, the advantages of the NDEA - low interest rates and long-term repayment period -would be difficult to find elsewhere. And discontiuance of this government assistance would "throw a kink" into mariy stud·e nts' well-laid plans. We all know this just as we all realize the importance of the Act. Let's let our Senators know that we are alert and intereste.d in the outcome of the extension proposal. Take your p~n in hand right now and urge your Representative to support the retention of the NDEA as part of HR 4955 when it comes up shortly for Senate floor action. THE HEAT'S In the cafeteria the other day we chanced to overhear our two Sophomore friends discussing faeries and brownies and, because we have interest in W.B. Yeats too, we thought we would join the conversation. 'Yes,' we interrupted, 'Irish folk-lore was one of the formulating influences on Yeats' poetic imagination; of course you must remember that . 'W.B. Yeats?' asked Miss Dover. ON No longer can minors caught in establishments serving liquor skip blithely through the raid, the subpoena, and the hearing itself with no scars and perhaps even a check for testifying against the owners. For the State Liquor Control Board has finally taken the "fun" out of fooling cafe owners - with a "crack down" on minors and a tightening of the state laws. A recent change in the statutes makes the minor in such a situation responsible for his own conduct and liable to as much as a $ I 00 fine and several days imprisonment. LOOKS LIKE THE BOYS UPSTAIRS GOT THEIR TESTS BACK. Hence when. he testifies against the cafe owner, he also testifies And despite any delusions you may against himself - leaving him wide open for a lot of trouble and have, we will continue to do so withLETTER TD EDITOR expense. out lowering the level of modern education. IS IT WORTH IT? Dear Apathetic Onlookers (Creeps): * * * The men of BUTLER HALL, to TWO PLUS TWO EQUALS THREE Since each of us is aware that enrollment at our coUege is steadily increasing, we are apt tq _presume that the impact created by student movements would also increase in the same proportion. This, however, is generally not the case, and to substantiate my statement, I would like to compare the student conducted United Fund Campaign results for the past three years. In 1960, the total amount contributed was $1,148; in 1961, it dropped to $1,090, and finally, last year, we reached our lowest total of $736. These facts definately show a lack of interest on the part of the students in their campaign, for if each student had contributed his $1.00, the increased enrollment would have been evident in an increas'f~ of total contributions. Our problem, as it exists, can be remedied, and this remedy can be administered immediately. The procedure would be a simple one, · and would merely involve the effort on the part of each student to contact his class representatives, and make his individual contribution. Once this has been accomplished, this year's campaign totals will begin a new trend in the right direction.

R eligious Prejudice In the area of religion, the study revealed evidence that few jurors are biased against Jews, whereas there is a definite tendency to make it difficult for claimants adhering to certain fundamentalist religions such as Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses. From the brief description of the study, the conclusions made can be stretched one more notch. Can one obtain a fair trial under the conditions set forth? This is a very difficult matter to decide, for how does one go about eliminating the prejudice factor? Perhaps it is the quality and administration of our juries that needs overhauling, not the system itself. With si, many categories of persons excludd from jury duty, it becomes extremely difficult if not impossible to obtain the cross-sectionalism so vital in a fair trial by one's peers.

Comstock rolled up 170 yards on 21 carries for an 8.1 yard per carry average, which earned him the "ECAC Outstanding Back" award and also the BEACON "Athlete of the Week" award. PMC capitalized on a Wilkes fumble to draw first blood in the game. In the second period, with four minutes remaining, the Colonels rebounded on drives by Comstock and Don Brominski drove into paydirt from the one. The score at the half was a 6-6 tie, as Ed Brominski's PAT attempt was wide. After a scoreless third period, Frank Wallace returned a punt to the Wilkes 48. On the next play, Comstock carried the pigskin on a 52 yard touchdown jaunt through the midle of the PMC defense. Wallace missed the PAT. The Cadets, fired up by a Homecoming crowd, roared back with a drive that covered 62 yards in 9 plays and resulted in another PMC score. Bob Heiser iced the game by booting the PAT, but just for insurance the Cadets trapped Frank Wallace back to punt and added two points to their total. At Ursinus Tomorrow Tomorrow afternoon the Colonels meet the Bears of Ursinus in a game at Collegeville, Pa. Last season the Wilkes team displayed a tremendous effort on two goal line stands to turn back the Bears 12-6. Last year the Bears were lucky to score even once against the Colonels with all the breaks going their way. U rsinus had the ball twice in succession inside the five yard line and failed to score on the teriffic defensive effort of the Wilkes line. Coach Richard Whatley, in his 4th year at Ursinus, has 13 returning lettermen. Included among these veterans is senior quarterback Ron Emmert, who scored the only Ursinus touchdown last year. The game will get under way at 2 p.m. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Chuck Robbins Sporting Goods Pat Davis Sparks Hockey Team In Moravian Win by Lillian Bodzio As a result of quick thinking on the part of freshman Pat Davis, the Girl's hockey team recently scored a 4-3 victory over a tough Moravian squad.

Pass defense was the key to the Barre victory. Barre scored 3 touchdowns on interceptions. Evans scored three times for Barre, while Dunn, Witt, and Douglas added one apiece. George played a good game for Miner, scoring two touchdowns. The Independent League showed two strong teams this week as the Macedonians and Rummys played to a 7-7 tie. Both teams posed a scoring threat throughout the game, but the defenses rose to the occasion. The Rummys scored first on a long pass from McAndrew to Zabonski, with Mc Andrew adding the PAT. The Macedonians came back to immediately tie the score on a pass to Himlin. The extra point by Jim Vindunis was disputed. Ray Sorokanich and Harry Vogt led the Rummys' defense.

With the season half com pleted, the Wilkes College soccer team brought its log to 1-4-1, but the Ferrismen feel they can improve on this record during the second half of the schedule. The Colonel boaters dropped a 1-0 squeaker to Stevens last Wednesday but bounced back on Saturday to battle the Madison campus team of Farleigh-Dickinson to a scoreless tie. The contest with Stevens indicated, as in previous tilts, that a scoring threat is definitely lacking in the offensive team. The one-point edge was all that Stevens needed to clinch the contest, as the Colonels absorbed their third shutout in four games. The defense, as in all previous games, was the mainstay of the team, as they time after time stopped the charging Stevens' offensive unit. Undaunted by the inabil ity of the offense to score, the Colonel defenders never ceased to perform admirably. In the game with Madison, the Wilkes defensive unit sparkled as they shut out their opponents. The Colonel offensive team,. however, was similarly blanked, and at the end of regulation play, a scoreless tie prevailed. Two five-minute overtime periods were played, but neither team was able to score in the contest at the New Jersey college. Outstanding defensive play by left fullback Larry Gubanich and halfback Dick Bucko, while the offense was led by the fine play of Dick Morgan and Walt Prusakowski. The boaters will play two games at home this week, meeting Muhlenburg Wednesday afternoon and challengin g Hofstra tomorrow morning.

Vol. XXV/11, No. 6 Miss Cail Roberts To Reign As 1963 Homecoming Queen Princesses Complete Queen's Court P14ttceJJ Jc,-nritte Miss Lorraine Dyers, a blonde French major from Kingston, has been nominated Princess of Homecoming Weekend. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Dyers, Princess Lorraine hopes to work abroad this summer. Her other plans for the future include teaching languages, doing graduate work, getting ma rried, and raising tri-lingual children. Charm, personality, and ambition clearly are person ified in Princess Barbara, a hazel-eyed, brunette beauty who hails from Plymouth. Daughter of Mrs. Donald Lore, Barbara is a seni or English major who has narrowed her future plans to two alternatives. The first of these is graduate work here in the states. Her second choice includes a program of simultaneous teaching and studying abroad. The Princess has dreamed of traveling to Europe for many years, but she hasn't expected her desi re to pass the fairy-tale stage. However, next summer, Barbara's dream may convert into reality for she and a few classmates are considering overseas employment for the warm months following graduation. During past summer seasons Barbara has worked in the Bell Telephone Company Sales Office - a job which has given "Barb" a chance to utilize her secretarial skills. Presently Princess Barbara is editorin-chief of the Beacon. For two years she served on the staff as a news and feature reporter, and last year she gained the position of feature editor. Even though the Beacon occupies most of Barbara's time, she still manages to act as associate editor of the Manuscript and to represent her class on the Executive Council. AWS and the Education Club also have claimed the young woman as a member. Barbara disproves any concept about the separation of beauty and brains. The lovely Princess has merited a place on the Dean's List every semester of h~r ·college career. She also was a fouryeil.r honor student during her high school days at Plymouth. There Barbara began to develop her journalistic instincts. She served as editor-in-chief of The Shawnee Arrow, Plymouth High School's newspaper, and also acted as correspondent to the Sunday Independent. During her freshman year she was class vice-president and an elected member of "Who's Who Among High Schools." These college prep days also (Continued on Page 6) Along with her Spanish and educati on minors, Princess Lorraine has been a cheerl eader for the past three years, and has acted as capta in in her junior and senior years. She has been secretary of her class and pres ident of th e W omen's Activiti es Association in her junior and senior years. Princess Lorra ine has been active in TDR for four yea rs and was elected to the position of treasurer in her seni or year. She was a member of Student Government Court of Appeals in her junior year and was on the Parents' Day Planning Committee. She is presently an active member of the Ski Club, French Club, Spanish Club, and the basketball team. She was also on the dean's list in the spring of 1963. Lorraine lists, among her other interests, folk music, chess, horseback riding, snow and water skiing, and traveli ng. She also plays the gui tar. Last summer, Princess Lorraine worked as a waitress in Yellowstone Nati onal Park in W yoming. She traveled to California and spent a week in Los Angeles. In previous summers, Lorrai ne worked in the Poconos as a wa itress. She has also been a camp cou nselor and a salesclerk. Presently, she works in Chase Hall, typing and filin g. During her high school years in Kingston, Princess Lorrai ne was a cheerl eader, editor of the "Kingsto ni an", class secretary, and a member of the hockey team. She has also received the D.A.R. Citizenship Award and the Edward R. Janji gan Memorial Sportsmansh ip Award. Princess Lorraine will be escorted by Alan Gubanich, president of the senior class. Queen Gail and Court face Busy Schedule by Lois Petroski Lovely Gai l Roberts will reign as "Miss Homecom ing Queen of 1963." Daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Ellis Roberts, Queen Gail has been an acti ve member of Student Government and its committees for the past three years. The honey- hued beauty has also been co-cap tain of the cheerleaders, and an active member of TDR. A graduate of E. L. Meyers High School, Queen Gail has also displayed her varied talents during the formative years. At Meyers, she was ed itor of the £Imprint, President of Student Government, and a cheerleader. In addition to these activities, she distinguished herself by bei ng admitted to the honor society. During her four years at the College, Queen Gail was secretary of W AA for two years, and a member of the Fall Parent's Day Planning Committee during the present semester. Queen Gail is by no means unaccustomed to the idea of assuming a regal role, for last year, she was bestowed the honor of bei ng crowned Snowfl ake Princess at the Winter Carnival. Perhaps the most recent of her end eavors on campus was the work which Gail did on the honor code committee durin g the last semester. Queen Ga il spent seven weeks of the past summer in Europe where she studi ed and visited various points of interest. Belgi um, Bonn, and Switzerland were only a few of the places she visited while on tour. In the future, Queen Ga il plans to enter the fi eld of teaching or social work. Her actual teaching experience wi ll begin next semester, when Miss Roberts does her stud ent teaching. Presentl y, however, Queen Gail will have little d ifficulty in planning the futur e as far as the current weekend goes, for along with her court, she will rema in the center of attraction for the entire weekend. Activities Begin T oday An ant icipated 500 men and women graduates will return to the campus today to commence observa nce of the Sixteenth Annual Homecoming. The committee, which has Mr. Donald McFadden acting as alumni chairman and Lou Coopey as undergraduate cha irman, meti culously has pjanned a full schedule of events whid-i should provide enj oyment and fond memories for both alumni members and undergraduates. This past week the dormitories and various ca mpus societi es have spent many hours constructing di splays which fully project the desi re in the hearts of all those treading the campus this weekend-"Beat Drexel!" The groups responsi ble for the displays deemed best by a judicial committee of three to five alumni members, will receive trophies at ceremonies during the half-time of Saturday's football ga me. The judges will consider four categories: men's dorm itories, women's dormHories, club di splays, and over- all ori ginality. The judicial tour wi ll begin at 7 p.m. Simultaneously at 7 p.m., students will fo rm a car caravan at Butler Hall. Rid ing atop convertibl es, Queen Gail and Princesses Lorraine and Barbara wi ll lead the parade. The whole cheerin g caravan will be police-escorted up South River and Market Streets, around Public Square, and finally over the Market Street Bridge to N esbitt Park, the site of the pep rail. Here, the Cheerleaders, Majorettes, and Kickline will perform. Coaches Ferris and Schmidt will introduce the soccer and football teams. Students will celebrate the highlight of the rally - destruction of Hofstra and Drexel in effigy. TDR Sport Dance Immediately following the pep rally the car caravan will journey to the gymnasium where TDR will sponsor an undergraduate sport dance. In susta ining the festive spirit of the weekend, the Rhythm Aces will provide musical sounds amid colorful decorations. While students are dancing in the gymnasi um, graduates will be gathering at their first official reunion of the weekend at the Host Motel. Comradeship and reminisci ng will dominate this Warm-up Party which begi ns at 9 p.m. For alumn i and students alike, Saturday's events wi ll commence at 10 a.m., when Wilkes meets Hofstra in a soccer game at the athletic field. At 12:45, elaborately decorated cars wi ll form a parade line at Butler Hall. Anyone desiring to participate is invited to enter his car in the parade formation. Transportation for those lacking automobiles also will be available. The alumni judging committee will select th e best-decorated car. Royalty On Parade Once again the royal Homecoming court will be guests of honor in the parade which will extend the route of the previous evening to include North Main, Union, and North River Streets, then lastly the Market Street Bridge. This time the destiny will be the athletic field . Here, traffic directors donning arm bands will be available to park the cars from the caravan. Students will proceed to a section of the bleachers which will be roped off for them. With military escorts, Queen Gail and Princesses Lorraine and Barbara will cross the field to participate in the pre-game ceremonies. The alumni will be formally welcomed and Queen Gail will be officially crowned. She and her princesses will receive gifts from Student Government, the Beacon, and alumni. Kick-off time between the Colonels and the Dragons is set for 2 p.m. Halftime ceremonies will include performances by the Kickline and Majorettes to the accompaniment of the College Band, the awarding of trophies for the campus displays, an award for the winning car, and the Lettermen's raffle. A new practice of singing the Alma Mater before the second-half kick-off will be introduced. Two Dinner Dances The evening agenda includes two dinner dances. That of the alumni will be held at the Dorian Room of the Host Motel. Dinner is slated for 6 p.m., and dancing is scheduled for 9 p.m. The College gymnasium will be the scene of the undergraduate dinner dance of which John Campbell is chairman. From 7 to 9 p.m., a dinner featuring roast beef, Italian and Swedish meat balls, and Hawaiian pork will be served. Bobby Baird and his band- will furni sh music for dancing until 12 p.m. This hour will mark the termination of the dinner dance and of all scheduled events of the Homecoming Weekend. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday , October 25 , 1963 LETTER TD EDITOR Men of Butler H all : in reply to your letter to the Beacon Editors of last week, we can only say this (would that it were more): ROADS ALL LEAD TO WILKES HOMECOMING EDITORIALS WILKES REVISITED Th e "homecoming" experience can be a disconcerting one for both alumni and undergraduate - one finding himself a little perturbed at occupation of "his room", "his table in the caf", "his nook in the library" by some young upstarts who can't really appreciate them , and the other a little disturbed at the commotion caused by those funny , sentimental "old timers" in racoon coats disrupting their routine . But seriously speaking, this little jolt out of the routine is a healthy experience for all. Th e alumnus comes away from revisiting the "s pawning ground" of many of his hopes and ideals with renewed vigor and determination while the undergrad, cuddled in the warm security of that special college world, peers out at the "real world" he will soon be thrust upon. Lest we underestimate the importance of this contact between generations, we must realize that the alumni are the roots of our school - the unsee n, often-neglected providers of nourishment for the blosso ming tree. Without them the tree cannot flourish . Alumni returning to campus this year will find signs of the continuing progress on campus - the new extension of the Science Building, the new W eckesser Hall dorm and the largest student body in the history of the school. They can take justified pride in their part of these accomplishments and relax and enjoy themselves this weekend. THE BALLOT BOX After disposing of the American Jury prob lem in last week's colu mn, we will now approach the second major problem in civi l litigation facing the American Judic ial System - delay. Should you be unfortunate enough to be pressing a case in Chicago's Cook County, your case will in all probability be delayed for more than FIVE AND ONE-HALF YEARS! These statistics are among several revealed recently in the 11 th annual survey of the status of 108 state court calendars, conducted by the Institute of Judi cial Administration located in New York. According to the most recent survey, it takes an average of 18.7 months for a personal injury case to reach jury tri al from the date on which a written answer to a complaint is filed with the plaintiff's attorney. Considering other factors in the 108court survey, 23 courts reported delays of more th an 30 months, with the degree of calendar congestion generally NHU? WHAT'S paralleling the population figures. Th e stir caused by the glamorous Madame Nhu's visit to the Some of the worst courts in this reUnited States is entirely out of proportion to either her or her spect, in addition to the Cook County Court, two of our own Pen nsylvania country's significance . Obviously this petite " Oriental Audrey Hepburn" is not unaware of the importance of advertising and public relations because she has taken full advantage of the "raves" she has received for her " road show." Th e newspapers and other communication media have not had such a " natural'' since Liz Taylor and Burton and have all jumped on the bandwagon. Th e American people, as gullible and as celebrity-hungry as ever, have swarmed to see her, according her receptions from the ovation at Fordham to the egg-throwing at Columbia - neither one says much for the intelligence and maturity of the average college student. A reassessment is in order. W e must unfortunately strip Madame Nhu of some of her glamour. W e must separate the creature created by press, radio, and TV from the real 38 -year old sisterin-law of the pres ident of a small, troublesome country and then react accordingly.

Under the direction of Livingston Clewell, creator and producer of the program, plans for a broader scope of topics are now being organized. The moderators of the program are George Ralston, Dean of Men, and Arthur Hoover, Assistant Dean. They select topics of national current interest which are weighed by the panel members prior to the broadcast. When the discussions take place, the students sta te their controversies before making final ana lyses or conclusions. In this manner the listeners are given an opportunity to establish a solid viewpoint on the situations being covered. .; This year, there are three panels consisting of four members each. Panel one includes Cathy De Angelis, Harry Wilson, John Campbell, and Alan Krieger; panel two includes James Hansen, Joyce Cavallini, Douglas Bennington, and Steve VanDyke; panel three includes Barbara Gallagher, Bill Carver, Joe Klaips, and John Lore.

Trends on the College Campus." Folk Fun Food Frolic Friday, Friends by Helen D ugan Warning-Any student walking down South Main Street on Friday at two fifty-five is likely to be trampled to death. Everybody who is somebody, and even us poor clods who aren't, make it a point to be at the Snack Bar by three o'clock in order to get a good seat for the 'hootenanny.' The idea of the Friday afternoon hootenanny was orginated by the Student Government. There are two reasons for these hootenannies; first, the great interest shown in folk music, and secondly, to publicize the Snack Bar. Jody Morrison, who is secretary of her class and editor of the Student Government N ews Letter, has been appointed ch airman of the "Friday Afternoon Hootenanny." Every week song sheets are typed up for this gala event to acquaint those in attendance with new and old folk songs. In the two hours, from three to five, the group sings approximately forty songs. This means that in the thirty-five hootenannies of the year, they will sing nearly 1,400 folk songs. And this means there will be a couple hundred cases of laryngitis on the campus before June. So everybody get their gargle out and start hooten. Jody and Singer The leadership of the hootenanny last Friday consi sted of one guitar and two singers. Well, one Singer but two singers - one guitar. One of the singers was Barry Singer; the other was Jody Morrison. comes from New York City and li ved only ten miles from "the Village." It was in Greenwich Village that her love for fo lk singing was born. Jody says, "I love all folk songs but my preference is for lesser known groups with lesser known songs whi ch are closer to the people." Scotch and Soda Jody led the group in many popular fo lk songs, such as: "Five Hundred Miles," "Lonesome Travler," "Oh Mary," "The Hammer Song," "Blowing in the Wind," "Scotch and Soda," and many others. Then Barry took command of the "hootenannyers." Barry's home is in Drums, Pa. Transferring from the University of Scranton, he came to Wilkes this year as a junior political science major. He is staying at Warner Hall. Barry is a very dedicated fan of folk songs who has "always been interested in folk singing." "Gunfight at O.K. Corral," which he sang Friday, is one of the songs that he wrote himself. Another product of Barry's talent is "The Search." This is his latest song. Barry's favorite folk so ng is "Far Side of the Hill." Other songs that he sang were: "The Everglades," "This Land is My Land," Jody Morrison Strums "M.T.A.," "Ain't It Hard?," "Bad Jody, who launched the hootenanny, Man's Blunder," and many more. He is a junior English major who hangs also made a desperate attempt to teach her guitar in W eckesser Hall. Jody everybody the words to "Pretty Gi rl .'' The question of Constitutional revision will be debated in next week's assem bly. Sponsored by the Inter-Collegiate Conference on Government, the debate wi ll feature two prom inent va lley res idents, Attorney Stanley Brockman and Attorney Reynold Kosek. Arguing in favor of revision of the constitut ion by amendment wi ll be Attorney Kosek, Wilkes-Barre city solicitor. Attorney Brockman, secretary of the Luzerne County chapter of the committee for constitutiona l revision, will oppose Kosek and speak in favor of revision of the constitution by convention. Those who favor revision by amendment feel that the needed improveml)nts could be made on an individual basis and that the ori gina l document should be rEtained. The advocates of a convention accuse the present constitution of having too many weak and outdated parts; they argue that amendments to individua l sections would be ineffectual and would make the constitution a greater "bramble patch". However, both sides are working on the basic assumption that the Pennsylvania constitution has many poor sections and should be improved. Miss Alis Pucilowski, a junior English major, will introduce the speakers and give a brief resume of each attorney's achievements. I.C.G.'s program chairman, Gai l Roberts, has announced that the debate will be moderated by Richard Shemo, a senior politica l science major. Carol Meneguzzo, vice-chairman of I.C.G., will be in charge of the technical aspects of th e debate. On Tuesday, November 5, the voters of Penna. wil l have the opportunity to call a convention, since a proposition to that effect wi ll appear on the ballot. Advertisers Hold Conference by Mi Mi Wilson "Advertising - Your Image Builder" was the theme of the thirteenth an nual Advertis ing Conference and Clinic under the sponsorship of the Advertising Club of Wilkes-Barre held here Saturday. In attend/l11ce were representatives of adverti sing agencies, newspapers, broadcasting companies, public relations agencies, and retailers from the Wyoming Valley area as well as from Rochester, Harrisburg, Pottsville, Allentown, Hazleton, Scranton, and Philadelphia. Frank Bozek, president of the WilkesBarre Ad Club began the morning session with a word of welcome followed by rerparks from Lee Vincent, conference chairman. Dr. Francis Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs, welcomed those in attendance. In the morning sessions the conference delegates were add ressed by Maxwell Fox, Director of Public Relations of the Advertising Council of America, by Miss Elizabeth Strauss, General Secretary of the Advertising Council of West Germany (Akt ion Gemeinsinn) and by Wilbur G. Kurtz, Special Promotion Director of the Coca Cola Company, Atlanta, Georgia. Miss Strauss told the conference delegates that the German people do not understand "gemeinsinn" which translated into English means "community spirit" and pointed out that the primary objective of the German Advertising Council is to build an image of "gemeinsinn" in the public's mind. It is most interesting to note that the Germans use a negative approach. For example, posters will read "I don't help old people cross the street. I don't wo rk without pay." Miss Strauss believes that "community spir it" is poorly understood because of Germany's political history, but she feels that under the present democratic form of government in West Germany, this concept of "community spirit" can be propagated in the minds of the people. Public Service Mayor Frank Slattery presented the key of the city to Miss Strauss at luncheon in the Commons. Congressman Dan Flood, luncheon speaker, was introduced by Larry Greenspan luncheon chairman. On the afternoon agenda was Dolf Drage, Director of the Vietnamese Service with the United States Informat ion Agency, Washington, D.C. who spoke on " Image Building Around the World." Mr. Drage claims "performance builds the image" and if you don 't intend to perform just fo rget about the image. He poi nted out that one of the major barriers to communication with people overseas is a cultural one. The Vietnamese view on education is quite enlightening: "If you plan for five years, plant rice; if you plan for ten years, plant a tree; if you plan for one hundred years, educate men." James Adshead, Department of Public Relations, E. I. DuPont De Nemours & Co., Inc., spoke to the assemblage on "Better Image Through Better Advertising." He outlined severa l of DuPont's major campaigns with stress on their campa ign to " infuse fiber with glamour." The closing speaker of the conference was Martin Jaffe, vice president and design director of Robert Zeidman Associates who spoke on "Building the Corporate Image in Terms of a Corporate Id entity." The conference was followed by a cocktail party at Hotel Sterling. In hi s speech "Creating National Interest Campaigns" Mr. Fox discussed t he public service campaigns of the Aavertising Council which include such familia r promotions as College Is America's Best Friend, Support the College of Your Choice; Give the Uni ted Way; Keep Freedom in their Future .. . With U.S. Savings Bonds; Every Litter Bit Hurts and many others. BLOOD DAY TURNOUT GRJ\ TIFYING, SJ\ YS RALSTON by Harry Russin A total of 205 students and faculty members participated in Blood Donor Day; of this number 33 were deferred for some physical reason. The American Red Cross collected a tota l of 172 pints of blood, 35 pints more than were collected last year. Dean Ralston was gratified by the increase and was grateful to those who donated their blood. He also praised the Circle K Club for their enthusiasm, which aroused greater interest and participati on than ever before. A number of students who could not find time last Friday wi ll give blood later, on an individual basis. This will bring the grand total to 200 pints of blood or more. Wilbur G. Kurtz gave an informative history of the Coca Cola Company and noted how various slogans such as "thirst knows no season" and "the pause that refreshes" as we ll as the coke bottle which is a trademark of the company have contributed to building the image of the Coca Cola Company.

SPORT SHORTS The Baltimore Broncos of the Atlantic Coast Football League were walloped by the Pittsburg lronmen 31-7 last Saturday at Hazleton. The minor league pro game was played in the mountain city to test interest, with the possibility of the Broncos establishing permanent residence there. According to Dr. Joseph Bartlinski, president and coach of the Broncos, the Baltimore team will transfer the team to Hazleton.

The former Kingston ace exhibited a stellar performance as he displayed a brillant example of determination and rugged line play. The Bear's offensive hopes were repeatedly stifled as they tried to penetrate an almost impregnable staunch forward wall throughout the game. Led by MacLaughlin the Colonel line succeeded in breaking up Ursinus' plays before they could become a serious threat. Roger also contributed his efforts to the contest in the third period after Paul Purta scored the second Colonel tally. A pass from T ed Travis Bey to MacLauchlin for the PAT was good, to make the score 14-8 with the Colonels out in front.

The Ferrismen have been improving with every game, and it is hoped that the Homecoming atmosphere will provide the extra incentive necessary for the soccer team to dump the strong Hempstead, New York hooters. Last year, Hofstra overpowered the Colonels 4-1, enroute to a fourth place berth in the N orthern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Their 8-3-1 record this year has been bettered only by Elizabethtown, the conference champion, but the Dutchmen were able to log only a 4-2-1 record in conference play. Two open dates in the schedule last week were put to good use as Coach Ferris held practice sessions every night in preparation for tomorrow's game. The Colonels have been finding it difficu lt to mount an offensive threat, so th e defense has been forced to shoulder the brunt of the responsib il ity of keeping the team in th e game. It· is hoped that the superb play of the defense, led by Lou Szabados, Larry Gubanich, a nd D ick Bucko, plus an offense featuring the excellent passing of Dick Morgan, Walt Prusakowski, and Al Gilbert, can overcome the Hofstra scoring machine. Following tomorrow's contest, the hooters will have three games left to nlay in the current schedule, meeting Susquehanna, Wagner and Elizabethtown. Elizabethtown is the defending charm pion. The Colonel gridders gained their initial victory of the season against 3 losses, by downing the Ursinus Bears 28-8 at Collegeville last weekend. Coach Schmidt stayed with his devastating ground attack as fulback Gary Popovich and halfback Paul Purta accounted for all four of Wilkes' touchdowns. Popovich ran for one PAT, whi le Roger MacLaughlin gathered in a pass from scat-back Ted Travis-Bey for another two point conversion. Wi lkes has been extremely strong in their running game t his season, and last week's game was no exception as the Colonels rolled up 247 yards to Ursinus' 136. A fact worthy of mention is the Bears' ability to gain only 2 yards rushing in the second half. Purta led the Colonel ground game with 81 yards on 14 carr ies, gaining the tribute of his team mates by being voted Stagg Medallion winner. Purta averaged 5.8 vards per carry. John Gardner gained 66 yards on 13 carries for an even 5 yard average, while workhorse Popovich was held to a 2.3 average. Popovich, however, cracked , the Ursinus defense for two touchdowns and a two point conversion run. End Roger MacLauchlin starred on defense for the Colonels. His name was like an echo all afternoon. Wilkes drew blood the first time they got the ball marching 57 yards and climaxing the drive on Purta's JS yard sprint up the midd le. The PAT attempt was wide. When Ursinus recovered a Wi lkes fumble, converted the miscue to a score, and added a 2 point conversion, it looked like the Colonels' hard luck jinx was returning. With Ursinus leading 8-6 at the 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 half, Wi lkes came right back in the final two periods to score three times, icing th e victory when Popovich scored from the 3 after Rich Verhanovitz recovered an Ursinus fumble. Wilkes lost to Drexel 14-12 last season on a two point conversion and will be out to avenge that decision. The Dragons will not be an easy foe to vanquish, however, as the experts see Drexel as the Southern Division Champions of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Last season, though, the Dragons were co-champs with Western Maryland. You may draw your own conclusions. On the other hand, Wilkes' record is no indication of the team's potential. All of the defeats suffered by the Colonels were hard fought, close games, and in at least two, Wilkes won the battle Coaches Plan Strategy The Wi lkes coaching staff, led by of statistics. head m entor Rollie Schmidt, are picCoach Tom Grebis, who is in his tured above.

Farleigh Dickinson Univ ersity is situated in three areas of N ew Jersey, i.e., three co- equal campuses in T eaneck, Rutherford and Madison . Until a few years ago, T eaneck and Rutherford , which are just a few miles apart have operated jointly, a full ten (10) sport intercollegiate program under the expected des ignation, " Fairleigh Dickinson Univ ersity." When the Madison campus was initiated in 1958, in order for the students at Madison to participate in this intercollegiate program required travelin g some 35 to 40 miles. This early attempt, I'm sure you can understand, created many hazards and was difficult to say the least. Four years a go, therefore, the Board of Trustees of the Univ ersity, in order to provide equal opportunity of participation without undue hardsh ip, decilied to establish a co mpletely separate second intercollegiate program for its students at Madison. A second intercollegiate program at Madison, so lved the time and distance problem but, as you might expect created difficult public relations problem as the result. This second program of Madison has worked out well and is here to stay. H owever, for the purpose of scheduling and press, radio and television contacts the following formula I hope w ill be meaning{ ul.

Comments on the United States from Teutupe Vaita of Fagatogo, American Samoa are as follows: "I think America is fine and a very industrious nation in the world. Compared to my country, America is such a very big place; the population is far greater than that of my island. The thing that amazes me is that people rush and so do cars. I wonder, 'Why the rush?" "Samoans are very happy, cheerful, loving people. They don't take life seri- ously. They believe in this saying, 'Let tomorrow worry for itself.' Unfortunately Samoa does not have colleges, or I wouldn't be here. Students in America have the advantage of having anything they want concerning education. In my island it's very hard to get all the things you want since it's a very small place." "I think Wilkes campus is one of the nicest school campuses around, but I'm so sad to see that the school spirit is not what I had expected. The greater percentage of the students are not interested in the school activities." " I am not planning to stay in Wilkes for the four years, but I am hoping after two years I may be transferred to a nursing college or the West Coast so that I may be nearer home.

EDITORIAL LET'S DO IT BY CONVENTION The Pennsy lvania Constitution prevents the growth of industry, obstructs the attainment of judicial excellence, binds the executive to outmoded methods, and makes the legislature non-representative. These are just some of the problems caused by our basic document. The constitution was writt.'.m in 1874 as a result of the Civil War. It was written specifically for that period and is not adequate for our present age. Governor Scranton has said, " I feel very strongly that our state constitution is outmoded for the type of life that we hewe in the United States today and in Pennsylvania, particularly. I do think that it should be revised and very generally . My personal preference would be for a constitutional convention." In the Minor ity Report of the Pennsylvania Commission on Constitutional Revision, his opponont in the last election, Richardson Dillworth, and Miss Genevieve Blatt concurred in saying, "Our constitution is utterly inadequat.e. We urge that the legislature provide the necessary machinery for a general revision of the constitution rather than for piecemeal amendments." How may the constitution b.e improved? One method is amendment, but this is slow. I t takes at least three years to pass one amendment. Only a small number of amendments are consider.ed by the legislature, and, of these, very few are able to pass both houses of the legislature twice and reach the ballot. The W oodsid.e Commission on Constitutional Revision stated in its report that THE CONSTITUTION NEE DS 123 AMEND MENTS - 33 OF T HEM CRIT ICALLY! This is in addition to the more than 60 that have already been passed. We must make a basic choice; shall we patch up our constitution a little bit at a time or call a convention to write a document applicable to our modern society. We feel that the latter course is preferable. Former Governor Lawrence in discussing revision by amendment said, "Amendmt~nts, after all, have a way of becoming quite specific and enormously detailed - and if there is one thing Pennsy lrnnia's constitution does not need, it is more detail. Then , too, there is a natural tendency toward wordiness when documents are being amended piecemeal - and the constitution is verbose enough already." A convention, on the other hand, would provide a method by which the whole document could be re-evaluated and re-written. It would offer the people of Pennsylvania a fast , efficient, democratic method to chang.e their constitution. The convention method has been endorsed by both major political parties and specifically by Governor Scranton, Senators Clark and Scott, and former Governors Fine, Lawrence, and Leader. On November 5, we urge you to vote YES for a constitutional convention. J. H . G. Vol. XXV//1 , No. 7 WILKES COLLEGE, WI LKES-BARRE, PENNA.

Assembly Enlightens Student Body On Problem of Constitutional Revision by Virginia Todd Pennsylvania, hampered by a postCivil War Constitution that has earned such epithets as "poor," "doddering," "obsolete," "wasteful," "inadequate," has realized the need for improvement for the past number of a century. However progress in constitutional revision has been retarded by various proposals for diverse methods of revision. Representatives of organizations favoring the two most popular methods, revision by constitution and revision by amendment, debated the merits of their respective methods in yesterday's assembly. Intercollegiate Conference on Government sponsored the assembly, which presented Attorney Reynold Kosek, in favor of constitutiona l revision by amendment, and Attorney Stanley Brockman, in favor of revision by constitutional convention. Recent Ruins Offer No Relief For Drought-Plagued Eastern Penna. No relief is in sight for drought-plagued Northeastern Pennsylvania. The United States Weather Bureau S tation at the Scranton -Wilkes-Barre Airport stated that the effect of the recent rains has been, for all practical purposes, negligible. The rains, it seems, have done little more than settle the dust; the problem persists. According to a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, Mr. Stephen Kish, all hunting and fishing and entry into state forests is prohibited. He said the water table is dropping, but there is no danger as yet to wildlife. As of now there is no plan for refund of hunting fees for the 1,000,000 hunters in th e state, but if the ban Varsity Debaters To Compete In LoSolle Tournament this Afternoon At l 0:00 a.m. this morning, four vars ity debaters departed for LaSalle College, 20th and Olney Avenue, Philadelphia.

SPORTS CAR ENTHUSIASTS PLAN CAMPUS ORGANIZATION by Marshall Evans "Tonneau-coverl" "Independent rearsuspension!" "Quad overhead camshafts!" Have you overheard students on campus discussing such subjects? If so, no doubt you have wondered what such things were. These terms pertain to sports cars, and the students who use these terms are either sports car owners or sports car enthusiasts. Over the past few years sports car sales in the United States have been rising rapidly. The influx has also shown on the Wilkes campus for there are many proud sports car owners here. Because of th e increased interest in sports cars, some of these proud owners are forming a sports car club on campus. Douglas Haughwaut is one of the students trying to organize such a club. Douglas explained that the group not only welcomes owners of sports cars, but they would also like owners of other types of ca rs to join their group. The main object of the group is to form a team and to enter their cars in competition as a group. Locally, the sanctioned contests are held at Zayre's in East End on Sun- continues, the hunting season will probably be extended. Kish said that he was pleased with public cooperation on this matter. Although experts disagree, it has been estimated that approximately three inches of rain during a short per iod would alleviate the problem. No Imminent Danger Mr. Rulison Evans, of the Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company, stated that there is no imminent danger of water shortage, but he advised discretion in its usage. He said, "Use all the water you need, but don't waste it." Dr. Potter, of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, reported to the Beacon that some Pennsylvania cities have been forced to use secondary supplies of water because their primary water sources have dried up. He also stated there is no other danger to health as a result of the situation. Mr. Louis Trax, of the Wilkes-Barre Fire Chief's office, stated that there has been a disproportionate jump in the number of brush fires in the city for the month of October. He reminds the public that there should be no burning of trash or leaves because of the obvious danger of these activities under drought conditions. A spokesman for the Wilkes-Barre Park Department announced that city parks will remain open to the public as usual, but no fires will be allowed, and the public is cautioned to use care when smoking or using matches. day afternoons. In the competitions there are several classifications for different types of sports cars and regular cars. The competition consists of speed trials through an obstacle course. The best tim e of each classification wins the race within his group. The group hopes to have badges, which are being designed by Jan Pethick, by November IO when they plan to enter a team in competition at Zayre's. Anyone interested in obtaining more information about the group, or anyone wishing to join the group should contact Douglas Haughwaut. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 EDITORIAL Friday, November 1, 1963 I WOULD HAVE G.

ARE We are gladdened by the death of a very good friend, a friend who in these arid weeks offered us many cathartic experiences. He succumbed in New York, Oct. 18, 19, and 20. His lingering illness was due to his altruistic desire to be heard. Unfortunately, he was misunderstood. People thought his only concern was for those who took him to dinner, those who enjoyed reading his mail, and those who lovingly put him to bed every Tuesday night. Now, he sleeps the sleep of the down-trodden apostle. Du-e to the recent Associated Collegiate Press Conference, the editors who attenqed have decided to formally announce the death of the old BEACQN and the birth of the new. This conception, mothered by Necessity, indirectly gave rise to a new philosophy, Beaconism. The adherents, called Beaconites, have postulated their own commandments: I. We promise to take a firm stand on all issues brought to our attention that are of vital importance to the student body. 2. We promise to present a wider range of articles that are of interest not only to the student body, but to the student body as individuals interested in world events. 3. We will ENTHUSIASTICALLY support those events which have as their genuine purpose student unity. At this conference, we discovered that there are three major problems on almost all campuses; namely, apathy, parking space, and cafeteria food. Since these problems are so "world-wide", we have decided to "define" them. We intend to dismiss the first, apathy, by working from the point of view that THERE IS NO APATHY ON CAMPUS. When this editor questioned people as to whether or not they were apathetic, all said no emphatically. Therefore, if no one deems himself "that way", then "it" does not exist! Intricate Persian Rugs Add Oriental Aura To Weckesser by Leona Sakash With the aquisition of Weckesser Hall the College also acquired a number of very valuable oriental rugs. Their worth is quite difficult to determine precisely, but if a tenative guess would be helpful in judging their significance, Dr. Michelini surmised that they could range from fifty to a hundred thousand dollars. When some of the people of Weckesser were queried concerning the rugs, the responses varied from deep appreciation of their beauty and workmanship to Joanne Zuchoski's remark, "Actually, I didn't know we had any," and Margaret Gallagher's practical However, the case is different with the other two problems. comment, "They slip." esser are of the Kerman class. These carpets are characterized by their light surroundings. The Chinese carpets are distinguished by their clearness and simplicity and especially by their wide, free, background spaces when contrasted with the tight concise design of the Persian rugs in Weckesser. The prevailing background color is yellow and the carpet in Dr. Farley's office substantiates this generalization. This particular carpet has, superimposed on its lemon background, rose, pink, and purple geometrically-styled vases and flowers spaced at regular intervals. Since there seems to be no alternative solution, we are literally Oriental rugs generally have been "stuck" with them.

'Rants 'n Raves' was instigated so that those students or faculty members who have more to say than the average 'Letter to the Editor' contains, may say it her.e. Those who wish to rant or rave don't necessarily have to sign their names to the articles, but should. reach the zenith of perfection in their employment of various combinations of subtleties of color and in their hues which were not even attempted by craftsmen of other countries. These subleties and combinations were harmoniously resolved throughout the carpet's design. We hope that students take advantage of these changes, instead of sitting in the caf and discussing "what's wrong with this place." As college students we must take a step forward.

'How'd it Gogh?' we asked. 'There!' accused John, 'Why can't you say things like that in The Onlooker? You don't even rai se laughs in the cafeteria on Fridays anymore; nobody likes a crusader; c'mon down off it, you guys, off the high horse.' John had obviously prepared this speech for weeks; obviously delivered it in toto (an obscµre East Peruvian dialect). 'But there's so much to be said and pointed out; answered our Olsen, 'college students seem to see life the way they read textbooks. They glance through the pages, memorize the trivia, and cram for exams with the Index. Few readers ever go more than a few pages deep into their lives and rarely encounter any mea ning; there's some significance in the Biology department's practice of using one question in the Freshman exams for the student. to identify the author.' Olsen had prepared this for days. 'In a way this all reminds me of how we're goinp: to write our next column,' mused Jack, a certain glow coming over his philosophic pallor. 'If History exams, for example, were approached with the vigour and enthusiasm of Hom ecoming displays, for example. certainly a greater number of our ~tudents would become alumni, and be coming home to see the displays.'

Three years ago, James Tredinnick read a book entitled Black Like M e by John Howard G riffin. G riffin's book, telling of the sensations of being a Southern Negro, initiated a spark in Jim, who by now was beginning to accept Christianity, that wa~ to grow into the flame eventually setting off a chain reaction of bonfi res, both for Jim and for Wilkes. Jim switched his major from engineering to psychology, aiming for acceptance into a semiary and eventua ll y a parsonage in the deep South. All hi s further plans were directed toward this goal. He began following racial problems in Birmingham and other southern cities. And finally this past summer Jim got a chance to taste some of the problems of his future. Tak es Part In March Wh en Ji m heard of plans for a march on Washington, he decided that bis place was with the peaceful demonstrators. He went to Washington expect ing to spend a few days and return to Wilkes-Barre, having had an enlightening, if uneventful experience. But fate had other designs on Jim. During the Washington demonstrations, a Negro minister from Danville, Virgin ia, asked for volunteers to march on that city, some one hundred miles from Washington. Jim, feeling his duty lay in Danville, hitch-hiked the bun- Sparks CORE dred miles at night, slept in woods outside of Danville, washed and shaved in a near-by gas station, and appeared in Danvjlle at 11 A.M. He immediately went to the N egro Baptist church where the demonstration was being planned. Inside the church thirty Negro students and two white students were inform ed how to ca rry out the two small demonstrations. The group Jim was in was instructed to go to the court house, passing inconpicuously through the streets, carrying small signs and buttons concealed under thei r clothing. They were told that police action would be brought against them, and that arrest was probable. They were instructed to go limp at the time of arrest and to allow themselves to be carried away to jail. The eleven students and Jim went to the courthouse and began marching on the steps, singing "We Shall OverCome", the nat ional anthem of the Civil Rights Movement and " Black and White Together". In a few minutes the police arrived, informed them of their arrest, and literally carried the¢ , to jail They spent two days in a prison fa rm, Negro and white in the same cells. They were transferred to the county jail for five days, taken back to the prison fa rm for an additional day, and finally set free on a two thousand dollar bail, provided by various Negro groups. Out On Bail James is now out on bail and must rema in prepared to go back to Danvi lle if the Federal Court which is scheduled to review the case decides to ca rry out the charges against him. He is charged with violating a city injunction against demonstration, inducing minors to commit misdemeanors, and resisting arrest. If the courts JAMES TREDINNICK decide to revi ew the case, Jim faces a heavy fine and a possible prison term.

Dick Morgan these two words best describe last W ednesday's 6-3 victory over Muhlenberg. Setting a new scoring record of goals per game, Morgan boomed the ball into the net 5 times as the Colonels completely overpowered the Mules. The first goal came midway through the first period when Morgan took a beautiful pass in front of Muhlenburg's goal and zipped the ball past the goalie. Not content with a one point lead, Dick stole the ball at midfield and headed toward the Mule's goal. His fancy footwork completely deceived the goalie, and Morgan scored again. The Colonel dkfense, playing another outstanding game, once again stole the ball in the closing minutes of the first period. Morgan set himself before the opponent's goal, received the pass, and again outmanevered the goalie, splitting the net for his third goal of the period. The second period saw a fierce battle between the enraged Mules and the stubborn Colonels. Each time Muhlenburg attempted a drive, the Ferrismen stepped in and took the ball away. Led by Al Gubanich and Dick Bucko, the Colonel defenders refused to yield to the hot-tempered Mules. With time running out in the half, the Wilkes hooters set up their play and ended the period with Dick Morgan's fourth goal of the game. MORGAN SELEC:TED "ATHLETE OF THE WEIil" IN MUHLENBURG C:ONTEST by Merle Bolen For the first time this year the BEACON is traveling to the Soccer tea m in search of a recipient of this week's "Athlete of the Week" award. Having long overlooked the fine performance of the Ferrismen we feel that their efforts are long overdue the recognition which it deserves. Upon visiting the team the one name that seems to stand out above all is that of center forward Dick Morgan. An outstanding performer all year, Dick has proved his value to the squad many times. However, in last Wednesday's game with Muhlenburg he really outd id himself. Setting a new scoring record of goals per game, Morgan boomed the ball into the net 5 times as the Colonels completely overpowered their opponents for a 6-3 victory. A well conditioned athlete, Dick always di splays a maximum effort in both games and practice sessions. His hustl e on the field has earned him three Stagg Awards and has led him to rec:eive high acclaim as one of the fin est soccer players Wilkes has seen in many years. Dick's leadership ability is evident having been chosen co-captain of the team. His fine work is not new to the team.This can be seen by reviewing last year's games in which hi s efforts were awarded by receiving his letter for his stellar performance. Dick is a native of Spring City, Pennsylvania, and now resides in Gore Hall. The 5 foot ten, 150 pound English major attended Phoenixsville High School where he captai ned the basketball team and the cross country tea m. Also contributing his efforts to the track team, Dick holds letters in all three of these sports. The ski ll displayed by Morgan on the field cannot be fully appreciated until one stops to think that he never nlayed the sport before coming to Wilkes. Because of his capacity for leadership and inspired play, Dick Morgan has been selected as the BEACON "Athlete of the Week." 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 HARRY SONNY LAZARUS Refus ing to become complacent, the Ferrismen continued to maul their opponents in the third period. Two minutes after the opening whistle, Bob Eurich took a pass, sped down the sidelines, and iced the game with a 30foot boot. Dick Morgan padded the margin four minutes later when he scored his record-setting fifth goal. With a comfortable lead, Coach Ferris decided to rest his starters inserted some of the new men on squad. Muhlenburg capitalized on mistakes of the Colonel novices, scored three goals in the period. Jim and the the and Not since 1953, when they defeated Lock Haven, have the Wilkes hooters scored six goals in one contest. Morgan's five goa ls, of course, were instrumental in this win, but the fine pass ing of Walt Prusakowski and Al Gilbert and the 17 saves by goalie Lou Szabados should not be overlooked.

ROAD RUNNERS WIN 33-0; BUTLER HALL VIc:TORIOUS The Road Runners clinched a virtual tie for the Independent League by defeating a strong Rummy's team 33-0. The Road Runners used their defense to full advantage as they picked off 5 enemy passes. Gionett i, Covalim and Balewski were outstanding on defense. The Road Runners have not been scored upon in three games. In the Dorm League, Butler Hall played a tough Miner Hall squad and emerged victorious 26-6. Butler is now in contention fo r the Dorm title as MEET JUNIATA TOMORROW The Drexel Dragons discounted a brilliant 67 yard touchdown run by Colonel quarterback T om Trosko in coming from behind to hand Wilkes its 4th loss in 5 games by a 23-14 margin last Saturday. T ::e Wilkes team was worn down by the Dragons until the Philadelphia institute finally exploded for two touchdowns and three extra poi nts in the final stari:i!a, and just about defeating all hopes of an anticipated stellar season. The ca use for the Colonels being ground away was attributed to the fact that several key players were on the injured list. Among th e injured last week was speedy halfback John Gardner who saw limited action, and stalwarts Ed Comstock, Frank Wallace. Ralph Hendershot, and Ed Brominski. Tomorrow Wilkes faces Juniata. Last season the Indians scapled the Colonels 21 -14 in overcoming a late Wilkes rally which saw Wilkes lose the ball on the Juniata 14 yard line. The Indians are under new leadership, with Fred Prender in his first year as head coach. Prender w ill be trying to live up to last year's 6-2 record.

Flood and his supporters contend that stu- dent activity funds should not be used to help finance CORE's programs. The petition which Flood is circu- lat ing reads as follows: We, the unundersigned petition the Student Governm ent to withdraw recognition of the CORE chapter at Wilkes College on two grounds: First, that CORE should not be allowed to use the name of Wilkes College, or Wilk es College Student Government, or the Student Body on the grounds that such would imply that they are endorsed or sup- ported by these groups; Second, that our Student Activities Funds should not be used to support any political group on campus. Flood stated that he and his group are not against integration; they are merely in oposition to the sanctioning of CORE as a campus organization. At the latest report, the petition has been filling rapidly. A tally of the signatures cannot be made at the time of this wri ting due to the fact that the copies of the petition have not been collected. However, Flood reports that the petition has been well received by the student body. His only regret is that many students are not willing to sign their name simply because they are afraid of chastisement from the administration.

Registration Policy Clarified by Jo e Klaips During the past week, there has been a great deal of concern on the part of the student body in regards to the registration procedure which wil be followed during registration for the spring semester. When are we going to be able to register? With whom should we register? What procedure will be followed for registration this time? All of the preceeding questions are valid, and it is believed that each one will be sufficiently answered in the article which follows. Delay in the registration for the spring semester was due primarily to the underestimated length of time required for the administration in research and analysis of each possible registration program for our campus. The adm inistration feels the program which they have set up wi ll be most beneficial for the student body as a whole. During the research period, many tenative ideas 'leaked out' and began circulating throughout the student body. One of these ideas, for instance, was that each student would have to contact his prospective course instructor in order to register for that particular course. This procedure is NOT go ing to be in effect. The following complete informati on on registration plans has superceded all previous ideas. Regis tration Times Announced Registration for the seniors, juniors and engineering students will be held from November 18 - 22. Registration for the sophomores will be December 2 - 6, and freshmen registration wi ll be held from December 9-13. Aside from the fact that the various groups will register at different times, the registration procedure for all groups will be the same. Beginning on Monday, students may pay, at the finance office, a $25 deposit which is a prerequsite to registration eli gibility. After the student receives his receipt, he may go to visit his advisor anytime during the four day period assigned to him. Each student, upon visiting his advisor, will receive a registration Form consisting of three copies and a master schedule of courses being offered, and the day and time during which each class will be conducted. The student will then select the courses and sections which best fit into his schedule, and enter these in his registration form . After the student has his schedule approved by his advisor, he will receive his copy of the form, which will, in effect, be his 'final' sched ule for this spring semester. Schedules to be Mailed The administration will then process and confirm all schedules, so that there won't be any overload in one particular section. Following any necessary minor adjustments as to section, the adm inistration will send to the students a copy of the corrected schedule, along with a bill for the balance of tuition due. The tuition payment deadline will also be an- nounced at the time of billing. This, in general, is the registration system as it wi ll operate. There may still be, however, numerous questions concerning the system. To clear up all problems which the students might have, possible questions will be presented along with the correct answers. It is hoped that this will clear up the situation in the minds of those concerned. A few examples of possible questions are: Q. Will the $25 deposit be applied to our tuition? A. Yes. Q. Why do we have to pay this $25 deposit? A. There are many students who do not plan to return to school next semester. If there were no harder, financial or otherwise, placed upon these students, they would register for the spring semester, causing a great deal of administrative expense to the college. It is believed that the $25 deposit will prevent such registrations. Q. What if I should fail out of school, will m!J $25 deposit be returned? A. Yes, if there is a legitimate reason, the deposit wi ll be returned. Q.What if one fails a course which happens to be a prerequsite for a course for which he has regis tered? A. January 31 has been set aside as the time for all students to make such correct ions with their adv isors. Q. Wh en will copies of the master course sheet, listing courses and times, be available to the students? A. Such schedules should be posted on the bulletin boards on Monday. Q. When will the schedules be processed b!J the administration, and sent to the students? A. At the end of December. Q. Wh!J has this system been instituted? A. After a great deal of research, the administration feels that this will be the best system under which students can register. Q. ls this our final registration? A. Yes. Qualifications To Be Published Twenty-Four Freshmen Nominated FRESHMEN NOTICE For the first time in the history of the Wilkes College Beacon, we are giving all freshmen nominees the opportunity to express their individual platforms. We ask that all those nominated for a position subm it their individual statement of policy no later than Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 5 p.m. These statements should be left in the Beacon office, placed in the Beacon mailbox, or given to any ed itor.

IDC Dispute Budget A dispute concerning the Inter-Dormitory Council's financial allottment for 1963-64 was the main topic of discussion at the regular IDC meeting last Tuesday. The main participants in this discussion were George Evancho, IDC president; Dick Burns, Student Government president; and Jim Jones, Student Government treasurer. Evancho explained that IDC operates through four separate funds : Student Union Fund, E.C.A. Fund, Dorm Party Fund, and Agency Fund. The E.C.A. Fund is the regular extracurricular activities allotment from Student Government; the Student U nion Fund is for the care and opera- tion of the student union; the dorm party fund is for the operation of nine free dorm parties; and the Agency or Concession Fund is for the foreign orphan and miscellaneous expenses. Evancho further stated that IDC's activities this year would be seriously curta iled for lack of funds due to a small student government allotment He emphasized the need for the full $790 requested to efficiently perform their many functions, "including the sponsorship of the foreign orphan; presenting the Outstanding Dormitory Student awards and academic trophies; sponsoring the annua l Christmas party, the dorm parties, Prospective Freshman Weekend, Hampton Weekend, a stu- dent seminar, a dance at the gym, and concessions at athletic events." Jim Jones took opposition to Evancho's statements and explained why Student Government considered many of the expenses superfluous. He emphasized that only aher careful study of the IDC budget over the last five years and thorough discussion with the council's officers and advisor, had they decided that this year's request, whi ch is double last year's allocation, was excessive. Dick Burns, SG president concurred with Jones and contended that IDC should attempt to finance some of their expenses as do almost all of the other organizations on campus. Burns further contended that IDC should consider applying a greater portion of their income to the E.C.A. Fund rather than channeling almost all of it into the Agency Fund as they have been doing. He also pointed out, that by admin istrative ruling, Student Government is not allowed to support certa in activ ities for which I.D.C. requested money, the largest and most expensive of those being the support of the Greek Orphan. Jones pointed out specific items such as secretary's expenses and various miscellaneous amounts-which did not seem valid _ as well as various incomes - from student Union vending machines and athletic concessions for example that could be used to defray expenses of the council. He emphasized that Student Government has only a lim ited amount of funds to allot to many organizations on campus and that each organization has a duty to contribute as much as possible to its own support. He concluded that the tentative budget figure of $330 might be reconsidered if Evancho and the other officers of IDC would re-meet with the Student Government Budget Committee and intraduce new facts to justify their request. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, November 8, 1963 EDITORIAL SAY - TO GIVE OR NOT TO GIVE THE QUESTION ABOUT THAT STORY ••• We changed the "look" of the BEACON last week, with both the drought and constitutional revision coverage, in blithe confidence that our readers would understand our meaning and appreciate it. by Barbara Graytok This is the last Chance. The deadline is five today. At that time, the United Fund campaign will conclude for this year. During the hours remaining, the multitude of procrastinators attend ing this College may flock to the campaign chairman of their respective class and donate any amount they can afford. But we've gotten enough comments like, "Gee, you must have been really short on news last week to use those big, front page fillers," to shake our confidence. Obviously we haven't made our point, so let's try it again. We intend ,to broaden the scope of our content to more accurately parall.el the scope of our readers' interests. We qre writing for the "compleat" reader whom we define as one who is concerned with the local and international scene as well as with the activities of his school. The tlay students, especially, should harken . to this plea because they are aiding their neighbors by contributing. Yet, the commuting students are lax in their responsibility to help others and are allowing the "burden" of contributing to fall on the shoulders of the dormitory students who will reap no benefit from the drive. Even though our main function is to report on school news, we cannot validly ignore the other facets of a student's existence without adding another link to the chain which of ten encircles and isolates that strange creature called the college student. In short, drought and constitutional revision were placed on page one purposefully. A glance at exchange newspapers from the top coll.ege press organizations throughout the U.S. will reveal that we are not alone in this view .

This is not true; the money, in most cases, would be a loan, not a grant, and it would be fully repaid. The student would be able to borrow up to $l000 a year, but the average amount would probably be $600. This is not enough to suport a college student; he would have to supplement his loan in some way, probably by part-time work. Another point brought up and discussed at length was the plan of not granting a loan to a student until his sophomore year. Under the present proposed amendment, freshmen would not be eligible for this aid. The advantages and disadvantages were examined, and it was agreed that freshman loans should be granted. The freshmen dance kicked off the campaign last month. Since then students in each class have solicited donations and during the past week, a box covered with blue and gold has been in the cafeterias from 11-1 so that anyone could deposit his change. Yesterday at assembly, a canister was passed around for donations. Besides these attempts, contributions were collected from the four class treasuries and from the overtwenty clubs on campus. Everyone has certain ly had the oportunity to contribute, yet the response so far has been disheartening. At the onset of the campaign, a goal of $1200 was set for Wilkes College. This amounts to less than one dollar per person. But in a month, only a few kind-hearted souls have managed to part with some money to help others. This implies that the rest of the student body has been without even an extra penny for a whole month. The best point is that the results are not final yet. Students still have an opportunity to redeem themselves. With the donations of these procrastinators, the campaign will at least go over the half way point and be successful. In this, however, we find ourselves confronted with the problem that (sad to confess) only an insignificant number of college students actually read books. Were this not so, viz., actually true, we might find it in ourselves to make witty little comments about recently published novels, like Salt, for example, " that it be read with the proverbial grain," or that Lord of the Flies is breaking all precedent, drawing readers in swarms with its cynically social "vinegar." As the situation stands, however, the Onlooker finds itself confined to that rare classification of book which no student on campus reads (book reviews are written to spark interest) , but which a good majority of students are supposed _to read. We will therefore turn our interest to that fine volume, now running into its fourth edition, American Education by Chris A. DeYoung. Because this book, a textbook, is written for the individual who will eventually teach high school, it is, of course, written on the high school level and is then most naturally the book that would more efficiently appeal to the average college student, viz., the student of the average college. The book is well constructed, it has wide margins; there is no thought which is not repeated at least twice, viz., two times; and there is a wonderfully wide assortment of illustrations (textbook writers are paid by the page). In Chapter One there are twenty-four large, easy-to-see pictures in its twentyseven pages; Chapter One should appeal to those students who did poorly in Freshman Composition, viz., English 101. ism, consisting of skin, bones, muscles, nerves, glands, organs of special sense, and a digestive system, working independently." When the reader has managed to comprehend such a philosophy he will find that he is also able to define almost any living mammal, and can therefore assume that dogs, cats, and even aardwolves are also the pupils which Mr. DeYoung discusses. To prevent such confusion, however, the author has brilliantly included an One of the main features is a small entire chapter on " Pupils," Chapter but useful Glossary in the back of the Ten, to clarify the subject, an excellent book.

Dr. Holden, who did hi s undergraduate work at Brooklyn, N .Y. and hi s graduate work at Alfred University, Alfred, N.Y., is residing in WilkesIlarre with his wife and his four and a half month old son. Before receiv ing his Ph.D. in Physics. Dr. Holden worked for one year at Westinghouse Electric as a physicist. He also taught at Alfred University while working toward his Ph.D. degree. At present, aside from teaching at Wilkes College, Dr. Holden and Dr. Detwil er are engaged in solid state research for the U.S. Air Force. Working under contract to the Aeronautical Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson A.F.B., Dayton, Oh io, Dr. Holden and Dr. Detwiler are doing research on internal fricti on in non-metalic solids. Dr. Holden's non-scient ific interests include the appreciation of music, literature, and painting. Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare, Goethe, and Thomas Wo lfe are included among Dr. Holden's favorite authors. Baroque pieces by Bach and Handel are Dr. Holden's favo rite musical select ions. Preferring modern or abstract art to classical art, Dr. Holden mentions Picasso and Feininger as two of his favorite painters.

T h is intercollegiate conference had as its domi nant theme the goals, needs and responsibilities of American higher educat ion with the subsi d iary theme br in~ civil rights. The two delegates parti cipated in lectures and discussion grou ps centered around these topics. The Conference attracted approvi matedly 125 students from colleges and universities from such geographical York and Atlant ic Christian College, t'xtremes as Hofstra University, New North Carolina. The presence of such a varied group enabled the continual excha nge of ideas and information among the members of the group. matically, Dr. H olden stated that he doesn't look at physics or mathematics with a strictly utilitarian outlook. "Mathematics and sciences are themselves beautiful structures, as a building might be beautiful; and, in this sense, they might have an aesthetic quality," said Dr. Holden. Dr. Hold en's future plans include helping to build an active research center at Wilkes and also working toward esta blishing a Ph.D. program on campus. In order · to acquaint interested individuals with the Peace Corps and its operation, Miss Joan E. Morgan, program coordinator of the Peace Corps in Puerto Rico, wi ll be on the campus Tuesday, November 12. The agenda for Miss Morgan's visit is as fo llows: from 9-10 a.m., she will be in Mr. Arthur Hoover's office at Chase Hall; from 10-11 a.m. she will visit a class, after which there wi ll be a meeting open to the entire studer:it body and faculty at Stark 116 during. :the activity period, 11 a.m - 12 p.ln. At noon Miss Morgan will be generally available during luncheon in the Commons. At 1 p.m. she wi ll attend a class in Economic History in Parrish 35 and then a Political Science 100 class at 2 in Stark 11 6. The last stop wi ll be a coffee hour in the Commons from 3-4. This schedule has been ar- ranged for Miss Morgan by Mr. Hoover along with Allen Gubanich, Allen Gilbert, and Bob Dietz, presi dents of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes, respectively. At the general meeting during the activity period, 11-12, Miss Morgan will discuss the Peace Corps program and answer questions. Students may have their minds cleared on such subj eels as th e selection of volunteers, training, term of service, question of the draft, vacations, health care, taxes, insurance, student loans, etc. Miss Morgan is a 1956 graduate of Mary Washington College, Fredericksburg, Va. She received her M. Ed. degree from the University of North Carolina in 1958. Her major course of study was Spanish, which she taught for several years before joining the Peace Corps staff as program coordinator at Camp Cozier, Puerto Rico, in 1963. She traveled in Mexico as a studen t from June to August, 1959. DEBATORS GAIN RECOGNITION IN LASALLE TOURNAMENT The College debaters brought back a record of fou r wins out of ten rounds of argument from the recently held LaSalle Invitational Varsity Debate tournament. Four varsity debaters entered the competition as quests of the Gavel Society. Controverting the proposition that "the Federal Government should guarantee an opportunity for higher education to all qualified hi gh-school graduates" were Rosemary Rush, first negative speaker, and James Tredenni ck, second negative speaker. In defeating Mt. St. Vincent's, Middlebury College, and Temple University, the pair won three rounds of debate. The first speaker for the affirmative team was Douglas Kistler. Acting as hi s colleague was David Levy. This team won its debate with the University of Pennsylvania.
