Ill PONDERS BALL Ii HOOTENANNY by R ichie Kramer An appeal by members of the accounting club, and suggestions for enhancing two of the college's annual formals were two of the many topics discussed at Tuesday's action-packed meeting of the Student Government. Passing of Librarian, Mrs. Dorothy Molloy, Is Loss To Campus The Accounting Club, represented by Joe Klaips, submitted an argument on S. G.'s decision to award the dance on Freshman Weekend to I.D.C. The Accounting Club contends that it should have been granted the date because it was the originator of the activity, the Freshman Fling. Because of the need for a policy interpretation, the proposal was tabled until next week's meeting at which the S G. members will reach a decision upon it. Andrea Templar proposed to the Student Government that it consider converting the Cinderella Ball into a Formal Viennese Ball. The affair would call for formal attire and would be held off campus, probably at the Irem Country C lub. Sponsored by at least five campus orga ni zations, the Viennese Ball, according to Miss Templar, wou ld give the students a chance to accustom themselves to the act ivities they wi ll encounter after graduation and would be an exciting and interesting experience for all. Jim Jones proposed that the Student Government sponsor an Inter-Collegiate Folk Festival to be held in the Gym on the Saturday followi ng the Christmas fo rm al. This hootenanny, .it is hoped, would create a weekend which would not end on Friday evening after the formal. Although the S. G. members expressed an interest in this event, it was felt that the suggested date would leave too little time for the Mrs ..

SG IDC Continue Budget Dispute; Decision To Be Announced Soon The recent Student CovernmentIDC disagreement over IDC's budget fo r the 1963-64 school year initiated a special meeting of the Student Government Budget Committee last Tuesday morning. George Evancho, president of IDC, discussed a budget figure ad justed from $790 to $460 with the committee members. In their original calculations, Student Government figured IDC's expenses at $440, subtracted $115 of their Morgan expected income from this figure, and offered them a $325 budget. Evancho contended that income producing projects such as the concessions at athletic events and Student Union machines were specifically designed for the support of the foreign orphan and designated for the Agency Fund which is separate from the regular E.C.A. or extra-curricular activities fund. His questioning resulted in the appearance of Jim Jon es and D ick Burns, Student Government Treasurer and Michelini Discusses Education by Ginny Todd Education, that dynamic force which Paralle ling our educational system to is a Child of th e Past and the Father t:iat of other countries, Dr. Michelini of the Future, was the subject of Dr. cited such countries as India, where Francis Micheli ni's ta lk in yesterday's fifteen years of education may yield assembly. on ly ten productive years before death.

LETTERMEN MAKE PLANS FOR TEA 6. XMAS FORMAL Friday, November 15 , 1963 President respectively, at the IDC meeting last week to explain the manner in which the budget was decided. At that t ime, the two groups agreed to re-discuss the matter in another budget committee meeting. l In this re-meeting, Evancho sta\ed the inability of IDC to operate efficiently with the budget tentatively allotted to them. He also commented that many other organizations had received budget increases and that IDC, representing an expandi ng dorm student population, was also entitled to an increase. Jones countered with the statement that only those organizations that showed sufficient need had received additional funds. He further explained that Student Government was ask ing only that IDC apply $100 from its dance date income toward the budget and that any other income may go towards the support of their foreign orphan. Since the budget meeting was only for purposes of di scussion, no decision was made. But Jones pointed out that if IDC re-submitted an adjusted budget request, it would, of course, be considered.

Peace Corps To Students Mr. H oover and Miss Joan Morgan �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, November 15, 1963 Editorials AplltAetic 011/ccke,- VAGUE ••• WITH REASON If this week's story on the JDC-Student Government budg.et d.isagreement seems vague and general, there is a valid reason. We just couldn't plow through the mass of figures to the facts. Realizing the importance of this issue, the BEACON staff o.ttempted to corroborate the "facts" brought out at Tuesday's budget meeting by a check of the fi gures with both sides before the story was released. Three BEACON staff members, all upperclassmim, all familiar with the problem, were equally astonished to find that some of the figures given in this subsequent check not only disagreed with the report from the meeting, but also with each other. As a matter of fact , we are not even really certain of the $460 figure given as the adjusted JDC request. Student Gov.ernment has a. figure of $485 and to confuse matters more, both figures were mentioned by JDC at the budget meeting. In addition, at the time of this printing, both sides differ on whether or not JDC has, in actuality, submitted a new budget request. We are confused and concerned. If after attending meetings and talking with representatives from both sides, we don't know quite what's going on, how does the average student feel. And what's more how can a logical decision come out of this cloud of confusion and innuendoes. Certainly neither Student Government nor JDC want misconceptions circulating about this situation. We've already offered to print any statement of the JDC president who disagreed with some points in our story last week. Student Government is certainly aware that they can clarify their position in our pages. The responsibility for "clearing the air" lies with both organizations. WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY Th e sudden death of Mrs. D orothy Malloy of our Library staff has saddened not only her colleagues but the student body as well. ' Although Mrs. Malloy was with us for only a year, in this relatively short time, she made many friends through her quiet, .efficient , and always pleasant manner to students and faculty alike. Mrs. Malloy exuded that rare quality - a genuine interest in her fellow human being - which encouraged students to approach her with their problems, confident of their solution as w.ell as of cordial treatment. Her loss will be deeply felt both in her family and on our campus. • 111,e,.e • Manuscript Film - Throne Of Blood - Stark 116 - Tonight, 7 and 9 p.m. Dance - Women's Chorus - Gym - Tonight, 9 to 12 p.m. Football - Wilkes vs. Haverford - away - Saturday, 1 :30 p.m. Dorm Party - !DC-Commons, 2nd floor-Saturday, 9 to 12 p.m. Debate - Wilkes at Lehigh - Lehigh University - Saturday.

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. - Jack Hardie Olsen Schroeder Thought for the W eek "A word to the wise is too often accepted at face value." At the present time a petition is circulating on campus asking that the Wilkes College Student Government reconsider its official acceptance and endorsement of the local CORE chapter on grounds that CORE is "political" in its organization and purpose and not strictly a "collegiate" activity. Would it not be somewhat humorous, we ask, if some one enterprising student were to circulate a petiti9n advocating the abolition of Student Government itself because of its political nature? It is true that the politics of S. G. pertain essentially to matters of the campus, but what, however is the function of this organization? Pragmatically, S. G. is a sort of undergraduate internship for Polit ical Science majors, ev"e n though every other student who feels so di sposed may also fling himself and his interests into the fray. This manner of student activity is undertaken, we point out, merely because it's " fun ," because its "something to do," and because it is one way to waste time which might be spent in the library. The functions of S. G., we declare, might easily and more effeciently be taken over by the Administration. Non Compulsory Assemblies! What Do Those Students Think They Are ... Adults? (Continued on Page 4) RANTS 'n RAVES ASSEMBLIES CANNOT FORCE CULTURE by Alis Puc ilow ski and Jeff Gallet Is compulsory assembly achieving its purpose of broadening the cultural background of the student body? We think not. We feel compulsory assembly is failing for various specific reasons, among which is the fact that the assembly programs provide entertainment for specific interest groups, not for the student body as a whole. We offer as an example, last year's program concerning recent biological discoveries. We are not arguing that this program was not effec tive. We are simply pointing out that if any particular department desires to bring a speaker to the campus, the program should be limited to a voluntary attendance lecture. Secondly, the assembly programs are loosely controlled and organized. Last year, the program list for the year was distributed at the beginning of the fall semester. A study of this list indicates that more than half of the programs were providing entertainment already available to the student body. For example, the program includ ing scenes and songs from Cue a nd Curtain's production of The Music Man could be seen simply by attending the show. by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG COLLEGE BOARD MEM Step up to high fashion in the leather look which is distinctly yours in genuine, soft, supple, suede coats. A full length coat in pink suede is pastel pretty. Piping trim and buttons in black leather provide a pleasing contrast. Style notes include deep side slits and three quarter length cuffed sleeves. Another version of the leather look is a taupe suede coat with luxurious natural mink collar. Fashion high points include the drop shoulder, covered buttons, and wedding ring collar. Suede is a go everywhere fabric. It goes to school, it follows your career faithfully, it travels, and it dates. A motor coat is a must in every girl's wardrobe this Fall. Ideal for days when you just don't feel like wearing a full length coat or for winter sports events. White wool always performed well but it rates a standing ovat ion when its scarf and lining are color mated in a bright red plaid. Favorite style notes include long sleeves and huge pockets as well as the ease of movemert an unfitted coat affords. Example of Ineffi ciency As an examplt of the assembly committee's inefficient policies, we cite the recent I.C.G. program. Last spring, I.C.G., as all other interested organizations, submitted a request for an assembly date. The club asked for a date in early fall so that it might obtain a national political figure to speak in reference to the elections held November 5. While a program was guaranteed, the specific date had not yet been set by the end of the semester. The club was asked to inquire again in July. When I.C.G. did so, it was informed that precise dates had not as of yet been set, and was told to inquire again in September, which it did. I.C.G. was told three weeks beforehand that it had finally been given a definite date. This left an insufficient amount of time to procure the intended national figure. The third reason accounting for the ineffectiveness of the compulsory assemblies is that the College does not have the funds to provide interesting programs each week. As a so luti on to this problem, we offer the course taken by our neighboring college, King's. As is evidenced in a recent dean's bulletin, King's College has rearranged its assembly programs because of problems sim il a r to ours. King's Syste m King's has initiated a system whereby th ere are eight assembly programs a year, two of which must be attended by the student body as a whole. The new system also requires a particular class to attend one other assembly program. For example, the assembly program held today must be a ttended by juniors; the program being held in February must be attended by sophomores. Thus, of the eight assembly programs, two are compulsory, two are voluntary, and four are designated for specific classes, though they do not excl ude those who desire to attend. Should one decide to cut a compulsory assembly, he would receive one cut for each class he has scheduled that day. We feel thi s is a fair policy, and that it or a reasonable facsimile should be adopted at Wilkes. 'BEACON' CONDUCTS STUDENT SURVEY ON SUBJECT OF COMPULSORY ASSEMBLY by Bill Kanyuck As a result of queries ori compulsory assembly, the BEACON has conducted a survey to determine the students' opinions on this subject. The gen era l opinion of the student body seem s to be that the program s can be improved by in ten s if icd attention given to few er programs. SuE WIEGEL, JUNIOR: "If it were worthwhile, I'd !(O. There should be one good program once or twi ce a month." CAROL MENEGUZZO, JUNIOR: " It is the most insulting thing imposed on students. There is no purpose. If it is supposed to entertain and educate us, how can it do so with someone who is not rece ptive every Thursday at 11 a.m. Instead of thirty programs, there should be four good programs." AL GILBERT, JUNIOR: "There should be one good assemb ly once a month or every few weeks." MR. GunN, ENGLISH DEPARTMENT: "The idea of having all students assemble periodically is a good one, I think, for promoting a sense of unity; but it is the ob li gation of the college to make such assembli es worthwhile and their content significant and interesting. To meet for the sake of meeting is not enough." GEORGE EVANCHO, SENIOR: " I am against it. Some are educational and some a ren't. College stud ents should have a choice of the assemblies they attend. These assemblies should provide social and academic betterment." JOHN LOUGHNEY, FRESHMAN: "Assembly which is compulsory is as outdated as the Middle Ages. In reality, assembly should be, for whatever it does accomplish, limited to once every three or four weeks and even then should not be com pulsory. In eight assemblies there have only been three worthwhile programs, the stage plays, the debate,. a nd the speaker who couldn't attend." WALTER F. DEXTER, SENIOR: " I think that the problem with compulsory assemblies is not that they are compulsory, but rather that they are, as a general rule, lousy assemblies. If the assemblies were worth goi ng to, there would be no need to make them compulsory; the student would want to go."

M arie Shutlock �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 1.s , 1963 Cox Checkmates Campus In Commons IMG Seeks To Fulfill Democracy; Offers In-Service Training Page 4 by Helen Dugan The time: 12 noon. The place: Second floor of the cafeteria, but right now it has a greater resemblence to New Year's Eve in New York City as seen by the guy on the bottom. Competing with the screams, chomps, slurps, and crashes, a muffled sound makes its way from a distant corner. After a few more meager attempts to be heard, the speaker lets out with a bellowing, "CHECKMATE" (ya all); and Dr. Harold Cox reigns once again as chess champ. This is a common Friday scene (or should I say-Friday's Commons scene?). From Market to Ross Street people have heard of these famous chess games; and by now word must have leaked into the condemned area of King's College. Meanwhile back in the Caf, spectators are eagerly waiting for some brave person to step forward and attempt to match his wit with that of Dr. Cox. Finally a shy little chess player slowly makes his way towards the table. As the game starts, Dr. Cox has a smug, self-confident smile on his lips. As the game progresses, it becomes more exciting. It is inspiring to watch such a gifted chess player in action. Dr. Cox is playing a good game too. After almost an hour of tedious maneuvers, the shy little guy ends victoriously. Thirty -Six Wins In A Row But that was just an 'off' game for Dr. Cox. Since he came to Wilkes he has established a record of thirty-six straigr.t games without a loss. In order to prove his skill, Dr. Cox once played two games at the same time. It was a long hard predicament; but finally two 'checkmates' separated by only a few minutes, rang out. Unfortunately Dr. Cox hadn't said a word. Accounting Club Tours IBM Plant at Endicott Charlotte W etzel Members of the Accounting Club, accompanied by Mr. Chapin, traveled to Endicott, New York, to tour the I. B.M. plant located there. The group departed from Parrish parking lot in six cars. One outstanding feature of the tour was observation of the construction of an I.B.M. machine from the drawing board to the finished product. The group was conducted to the section of the plant where machines are programmed through the specifications of the purchaser, and then are given a thorough going-over. Another facet of automation which the group witnessed was the construct ion of one I.B.M. machine by another through the use of tapes. The accuracy of a machine constructed by a precision process such as this is much greater than one which is built by human beings. Even though automation has progressed this far, the guides emphasize that these I.B.M. machines are only as good as the men who can program them. They also pointed out that while many jobs have become unnecessary due to increased automation, new ones are constantly being created. Photo Enthusiasts To Organize Monday by Marshall Evans A new organization, the Photography Club, is making its debut on campus Monday. The group will welcome all interested students to its organizational meeting in the Chase Photo Lab (Chase Hall Basement) at noon. The only requirements to join are that the person have a camera and an interest in photography. The group also plans to hold a " Miss Seasons Contest" to end in June. Each month four photographers, two each from the Beacon and Amnicola, will select a Miss Month. Photographs of the monthly winners will be presented to the student body for their selection of " Miss Seasons." On Fridays, from 9 to 10, the game room is the history office. That is on floor I ½ in Stark Hall. Dr. Cox says that the first eight steps in chess are the most important. These are also the most fundamental; but it seems that here is where so many students go wrong. "I would like to teach the fundamentals of chess to the students, since so few know them. Also I would like to see a regular time set aside for chess games," Dr. Cox admits. He says his greatest difficulty is finding some one to play against him. So all you brave chess players, and even you chicken hearted ones, scramble down to Stark Hall Fridays from 9-10, or to the Commons from 12-1, and try your skill. This is a CHALLENGE! PIGEONS VS. PEOPLE De Young Is For The Birds by Helen Dugan As everyone knows, there are certain people who are trying to have the pigeons banned from Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Robert De Young, assistant professor of economics, has become very interested in th is situation but isn't choosing sides. He merely stands back, smirking at the whole affair. Whether or not the birds can out last the people is his only concern. The pigeons are on the defensive. They were minding their own business and obeying the law, except for walking on the grass, until some catfancier came along to start trouble. It was then that Wilkes-Barre's peaceful pigeons were changed into frustrated fiends. Professor DeYoung points out, "The pigeon forces are mobilizing. They are training their troops to avoid traps." Humans beware! There is nothing more dangerous than a perturbed pigeon. They sneak up on top of you and .......... ! Professor De Young says, " The Pigeon War is almost over. The casualty lists reads as follows: Pigeons 35, People O." But he believes the pi geons will still win. " The people are Onlooker (Continued from Page 2) "How then," it will be asked, "will students maintain their 'rights' as students?" And What," we ask, "are the rights of students? The students' rights are merely, simply those of taking lecture notes and reading library books. The "student," by word definition, is merely one who studies; this is his vocation. "But without Student Government there would be no Beacon, no Amnicola, no Manuscript, as some few examples." With respect (which we have) for the students in charge of these organizations, we must nevertheless remark that the Beacon is read on Friday mornings and then left to "rot" on cafteria tables; the Amnicola is looked at every five years when the alumnus decides to reminisce a little between Homecomings; the Manu script is appreciated by a very small minority on campus in spite of its attempted creativity. Beacon. Amnicola, Manuscript, and Student Government are merely "valves" by which the over-energetic student "lets off steam." It is not wrong for the "steam" to be allowed to escape; it is necessary; let us, however, channel it into something of lasting good. The turbine is more important than the teapot. This year Student Government was the aggressors; which puts them at a disadvantage ffom the start." But disaster may still be imminent. Word has reached the outside that the pigeons are fighting among themselves and their fighting arena seems to be Professor DeYoung's window sill. He has been known to bet on these pigeon battles. But all students should disregard that last sentence. Professor De Young says, "Betting on pigeon fights is an adult activity and can only lead to the demoralization of a student's mind." This Pigeon War isn't just a local skirmish. It is becoming nation widefirst Wilkes-Barre, now New York City. Authorities in New York say the pigeons are making a mess of the statues in the parks. A well versed comedian, Alan King, has a solution for this problem. He says, " They should get rid of the statues; they're pretty ugly anyway." So the Pigeon War still goes on. As a final thought, Professor De Young says, " Right will be on the side of the stronger force in this crusade." granted a $17,000 budget. Imagine, if you will, what this annual grant would accomplish toward the building of the now-poor selection of our Ii brary's books. More student hours are wasted in extra-curricular activity than the curricular. Too many college graduates cannot spell, cannot read, cannot speak, cannot Think! Students, it seems, would rather live the life of transient, gold-washed, extra-curricular glory than develop any educated taste for art, music, literature, intellect, or life! Did you sign or refuse the petition in the cafeteria or the library? by Charlotte Wetzel The Institute of Municipal Government, under the direction of Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, chairman of the political science department, has engaged in various community services since its inception in 1951. The activities of !MG were supported primarily by the College and by local officials until 1960 when the Ford Foundation granted a substantial sum to help meet the costs of its expanding program. The fundamenta l purpose of the programs of !MG is to "help make American democracy stronger by guaranteeing the semi-autonomous structure of American local government, so long as it can retain the capacity to solve its own problems." !MG intends to fulfill this basic purpose through the improvement of local government and administration in Northeastern Pennsylvania by providing in-service training for local government officials and public employees; by making technical advice, assistance, and research material available to local officials; and through the selfimprovement of local government personnel by assisting and cooperating with other government and community agencies. In accordance with these objectives, !MG offers non-credit, non-degree educational courses for the in-service training of municipal officials. These courses are provided in cooperation with the Public Service Institute, Department of Public Instruction, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Courses Offered Among the courses which are offered this semester are Arson Investigation, Criminal Investigation, Magistrates Criminal Law, and Rural Assessment. Next semester the courses which will be conducted are Fundamentals of Fire Fighting, School Directors, Small Arms, Townsh ip Supervisors, and Youth Control. The courses listed above range in length from 5 to 24 sessions. Instruction is conducted by the members of the Institute staff, supplemented by sPveral guest lecturers. In addition to in-service training, IMG also conducts surveys which provide information concerning problems confronting local government officials. Recently representatives of IMG have begun a survey of the King's College Development Project. The survey is being conducted in cooperation with the Wilkes-Barre Redevelopment Authority and involves a nine acre area of land which will supposedly be used for the construction of a dormitory, student center, and gymnasium. The representatives of: !MG are distributing brochures which explain the project and are securing information to be utilized for the planning. Other projects in which IMG is presently engaged are the Wright Street Project, which concerns an area of land intended to be used for the future expansion of Wilkes College, and a sanitary landfill study which will attempt to bring together the communities of the East Side in a prospective solution to the refuse disposal problem. Mr. Philip Tuhy, educational and research associate of Dr. Mailey, serves as. a part-time planner for the WilkesBarre City Planning Commission. Library Established To provide and supplement its various programs with pertinent information, !MG has established a reference library of contemporary printed material on municipal government. It consists of reports, surveys, studies, and periodicals avai lable for use by public officials. An additional source of information for local officials is the Luzerne Count~ Newsletter published monthly by !MG, It highlights everyday problems of local government and presents the experiences of communities which have successfully overcome such problems. Dr. Mailey attributes the success of !MG "to the government officials and employees who have taken the time and expended the effort to use the facilities which it provides both the studies and the instruction." Survey of forcing eighteen and twenty year old college students to come to these purposeless gatherings is reminiscent of high school days. 'Nuff said." MR. MISTICHELLI, ENGLISH DEPT.: "The students should be allowed to attend the assemblies which they wish to attend. It would be better and more adult if it were optional." CATHY DE ANGELIS, JUNIOR: "Because of the apathy on this campus, assembly has to be compulsory to get the students to attend. However, I would like to see it on a voluntary basis." GAIL D1xoN, SOPHOMORE: "Compulsory assemblies defeat the purpose of the assembly program which is arranged for the enlightenment and enjoyment of the student. If a student is interested, he will go without force." RUTH ScH!MMELBUSCH, SENIOR: "The purpose of the assembly is to provide the student with an interesting form of entertainment which he would not ordinarily be able to provide for himself. However, if the student is not interested in a particular program, why force him to degrade the speaker or entertainer by reflecting only boredom?" STU JED, SOPHOMORE: "It's a necessity; after all you're paying for it." (Cont inued from Page 2) ToM CURRY, FRESHMAN: "Since the main purpose of assembly is entertainment, why not have some?" JoE Auus1, SENIOR: "If not made more palatable, they should do away with them altogether. To begin with, anything that is compulsory goes against the grain." Another popular opinion is that assembly should be held on a voluntary basis. CAROLE MAYER, SOPHOMORE: "They sr.ould be voluntary so that those who go wou ld get more out of it. It is a waste of time, for I've seen students sleeping, studying, and writing letters. The money saved by not holding it every week can be used to get a better program once or twice a month." MARIE PARCELL, FRESHMAN: "The programs are not good. They take up time w)lich might be used for studying. They should be on a voluntary basis." JuuE EVANS, JUNIOR: "Compulsory assemblies are childish and detract from the independence of a mature college student. I fee l as if my high school days are still with me." CARL LoucK, FRESHMAN: "Compulsory assembly in a college is a downright insult to the maturity and intellect of the college student. The idea Debaters Allend Workshop Al Lehigh by Mary Quinn The College debaters recently attended an intercollegiate workshop at Lehigh which focused on the methods of debating, rather than the debatedecision tournaments normally held. The tightly-scheduled day began with three forums, consisting of lectures on the analysis of the proposition, the att itude of the debater, and the efficient approach to debating for maximum beneficial results. Professor Hopkins of Bloomsburg State College and Professor Heisly of Messiah College were the main speakers. The demonstration debate, following the forums, was presented by debaters from Lehigh, for the affirmative team, and from Rutgers, for the negative team. After a luncheon for all the participants, a practice debate between Wilkes and Lehigh students was divided into two rounds and was evaluated by four faculty judges, who gave a critique rather than a decision. In the first round, the Wilkes affirmative speakers were Al Airola and Paul Macko. Paul Bachman and Mark Hamdi took the negative position in the second round. Miss Charlotte Lord, advisor of the college Debating Society, and several other novice and varsity debaters also went to the Lehigh workshop as observers. - �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 15 , 1963 Wednesday, December 4, Saturday, December 7 Monday, December 9 Wednesday, December 11 .. ..Tuesday, January 7 Thursday, January 9 Monday, January 13, Wednesday, January 15 Saturday, February I Wednesday, February 5 Saturday, February 8 Monday, February 10 Wednesday, February 12 Saturday, February 15 Tuesday, February 18 Thursday, February 20, Saturday, February 22 Wednesday, February 26, Saturday, February 29 - BASKETBALL Lycoming Ithaca Scranton Dickinson Phila.

Ed Brominski took a turn at running the Wilkes attack, and led the Colonels to an early lead on their first series of downs. Wilkes marched 56 yards in a drive which was climaxed by a 9 yard scamper by scatback Ted Travis-Bey. Brominski's kick for the extra point was wide. Delaware Valley bounced back with a drive of their own, which carried the Aggies to the Colonels' 34. At that point, halfback Paul Purta of Wilkes intercepted a Gary Ulrich pass on the one yard line. However, the Colonels could not find running room and were forced to punt after four downs. Travis-B ey Scores Again The Aggies took the punt, but likewise could not move, and punted to the Colonels' 36.

CAQA\l ~~ WHO'S AFRAID OF CONTROVERSY THE BALLOT BOX We picked up our acid pen to write another scathing indictment of the apathy of the student body when sounds of activity coming from the Student Government office interrupted us. Running right down to investigate, we discovered that, startling as it may seem, there's life surging on our campus and much of it is centered in the SG office. The students are interested, thinking, questioning, non-apathetic. Just look at the signs: The Accounting Club appealing the change of their dance date, !DC questioning their budget, CORE group's right to student funds challenged, Stu Jed's committee investigating apathy, and Andrea Templar laboring for a formal Viennese ball. All of these are good signs; signs of blossoming student interest. Yet, unbelievably we have heard cries of alarm at this discussion and debate from sorric: elements on campus, intimations that we shouldn' t mention these points of difference in our paper. This attitude is difficult to accept not only because of its suggestion to ignore facts but also because it implies something amiss in students questioning tradition and each other. THE RISK OF BARRY GOLDWATER by Jeff Gallet Bow to the Southeast, wave your flag, the meeting of the Goldwater for President Committee is called to order. Ridiculous, maybe, but too close to the truth for comfort. The Goldwater people are a dedicated, loyal, fanatical group. They aim to get their man into the White House and they are organizing for the big push. Their devotion is impressive but one has to wonder if these people realize what their hero stands for. For the purpose of enlightening the Senator's suporters I will review some of Goldwater's avowed positions.

The accuracy of the 11/Ath reporting and the leg work necessary for this accuracy are apparent in the quality of the articles.

Just thirteen days before he told the A.P., "The United States should begin act ing like a world power and quit groveling on its knees to inferior people who like to come to New York." Does Senator Goldwater expect us to withdraw ourselves from the stream of world diplomacy? If you ask a Goldwater supporter this question he will smile at you knowingly and patiently explain that Goldwater simply wants to deal directly with the Russians rather than through a world group. I life and appeal to the majority of students, and act as a fact finding committee, to determine the students' attitude toward particular assemblies and to find out \\hat they would like in the future. The assembly committee does not have dictatorial authority over assemblies or the way they are run. It is subject to the 11pproval or disapproval of the administration. The assembly committee meetings are open not only to members, but also to any student or faculty member who is sincerely interested. Miss Puci lowski and Mr. Ga llet accused the assembly committee of loosely organizing assemblies. This is not true. The committee begins in November to organize an assembly calendar and to acquire guests for the following year. Let it be known that neither of the co-authors of last week's article has had the initiative or interest to attend a meeting or even to discuss the matter with a member of the assembly committee, (an example of the afore mentioned cardinal sin) . The committee was also accused of having assembly programs providing entertainment already available. A study of this year's program reveals that there is not one single assembly which provides the student with any entertainment or knowledge which is already close at hand. The committee was also accused of being inefficient. This, of course, is a false and biased statement. U nfortunately, rebuttal to this accusation wou ld require a full issue of the Beacon. In summation, let me say that the article entitled "Assemblies Cannot Force Culture" can be compared to a Texas Longhorn - It has a point here and a point there with lots of bull in between.

If such an expression made it indicates a complete la understanding by those students of true nature of the College they el to attend.

Dean of Academic �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 22, 1963 DEBATERS COMMENT ON BENEFITS GAINED by Lois Petroski Resolved, That the Debate Society can regain and surpass the fine reputation which it held among top schools in the country between 1955 and 1959. After a relative decline succeeding the 1955-59 "intellectual boom" among the College debaters, the Forensic Society is working eagerly in hopes of regaining its lost reputation. Prior to 1961, Dr. Kruger and Mr. Harold Flannery, former faculty members, coached the College group. John Campbell president · of the club since last year, was a ~tr1ber of the Debate Society at this tfrfle. Mr. Campbell admits : "I knew nothing of debate routine before I joined the College organization in my sophomore year. Practice as a novice provided me with knowledge of the rudiments, the style, and the technique of debate." Being the sole debater with collegiate experience, Mr. Campbell aided Miss Charlotte Lord and Mr. Dirk Budd last year when they began to organize teams and transfer the activities of debate. They worked with a quartet of novices, Douglas Kistler, David Levy, Rosemary Rush, and James Tredennick, who joined the club in September. Ephraim Frankel augmented membership when he joined at mid-semester. Along with devoting at least four hours of each week to library research, the group practiced a great deal. As a result, these novices had a very successful season and became varsity debaters this fall. Mr. Levy gained recognition in two tournaments. At Harpur College he won the Outstanding Speaker award, and at C.C.N.Y. he receiv~ a trophy for placing second out of approximately 60 speakers. · More lnvitat-io,j,s "Because of last year's success," remarks Miss Rush, "we have been invited to more tournaments this year." Miss Lord, who is directing the organizat ion alone this season, accepts invitations. Varsity debaters already have participated in two tournaments this semester - one at Marywood College in Scranton and another at LaSalle College in Philadelphia. The novice debaters took part in the Lehigh University tournament last Saturday. At the present time Miss Lord has accepted invitations to two other tournaments. On Nov. 22, the varsity crew will travel to Villanova University where they will participate in a two-day "switch" tournament. Here the teams will debate both affirmatively and negatively. On December 6, the novice debaters will journey to Temple University. Besides the increase in tournament invitations, Miss Rush cites the augmented allotment to the Debate Society's budget as a consequence of last year's success. "Once again," Miss Rush believes "the school is beginning to realize the significance of debate." The increasing importance also can be seen in Mr. Kistler's working experience of this past summer. He reports that "industry shows decidedly more interest in debating than in any other activity." Mr. Kistler feels that " debating is more beneficial to a college than is any other competitive event." Expounding his concept is Mr. Frankel : "In one tournament the debate teams encounter in competition as many colleges as the athletic clubs meet in their entire season. Public relations are very extensive." Miss Rush interjects that "debating adds to the prestige of a college by providing opportunities for the dissemination of campus history, views, and activities. The College name is becoming more and mart known and respected among the many institutions competing in tournaments." "Intellectual fame is better than athletic fame," concludes Mr. Kistler. Personal Benefits Many personal benefits also can be derived from debating. Mr. Tredinnick joined the organization to improve his speaking ability before entering the ministry and to become better acquainted with political affairs. Two Problems of Nonviolent Resistance Explained at Student Assembly by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG BOARD MEM It's time to drift to sleep in the dorm in long pajamas for that midwinter night's dream, or, if you please, a night shirt for those visions of sugar plums. Long pajamas are a natural for sleeping. They cover you up softly and loose ly which makes for some of the best dreams going. Greet the sandman in a pair of white batiste pajamas delicately trimmed with white lace and blue satin threading. A classic way to fall .is_leep is in long pajamas with soft blue bottoms which blend becomingly w ith the tiny blue flowers scattered on the pajama top which shows a mandarin collar. Satin cord outlines the collar, cuffs, and pockets. The college gal loves nightshirts because they're comfy and give freedom of movement. One selection is a pink and white stripe nightshirt. But it doesn't stop there. It's cuffed in green and white check and collared in blue and white polka dot. Cute little pink and white stripe pants accompany the nightshirt. The college gal might look anything but sleepy in a gray and wh ite stripe nightshirt. It's ripe as harvest time with bright pieces of fru it strewn in frivolous fashion . For that final touch of bright color the nightshirt revels in red trim and shows tiny bows atop the shirt tail slits. To greet that unexpected caller enter in a floor length hostess robe of arnel triacetate and nylon in American beauty red. The cuffs and collar are edged in satin. It is waisted in front but not in back. by Linda Edwards Mrs. Edward Schechter yesterday addressed an assembly sponsored by the senior class. Mrs. Schechter is the authoress of The Peaceable Revolution, a book dealing with the problem of segregation. In it, she offers her solution to this pressing problem-nonviolent resistance. She feels that this idea would be acceptable to young adults for a variety of reasons. One is that with the Negro protest movement a vital part of American history is unfolding before they could better see its meaning and their eyes and, knowing its background, feel its excitement. Another of her reasons is that a new breed of heroes has emerged from the nonviolence resistance movement in the United States and these heroes are younl(. In their endeavors they are peacefully displaying the idealism, patriotism, and willingness to sacrifice and suffer for a just cause that all young Americans fee l. Thirdly, Mrs. Schechter believes that this story of nonviolence points up the power of ideas at a time when reliance on material strength threatens to overshadow everything else. She presents to her readers this story of nonviolent resistance, a method of fighting oppression and injustice that matches courage and goodwill against overwhelming odds - and wins. In a world where men stand in frightened awe of their own terrible weapons, Mrs. Schechter believes that the Peaceable Revolution may prove that man's capacity to destroy has not outpaced his power to do good. Mrs. Schechter was born and raised in New York City. She attended the Birch-Wathen School, graduated from Smith College in 1942, and for the fol lowing three years worked in the United Nations Information Office. At present she and her husband and their three chi ldren live in Kingston.

VALERO 'OLE'S' US EDUCATION Hagel Announces Committee Plans For Investigation of TDR H i st o r y �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 4 Compared to 'Macbeth' PROFESSOR REVIEWS 'THRONE OF BLOOD' Friday, November 22, 1963 Pike Town Trio On The Lookout For Authentic Depression Songs by William J. Mistichelli, English Dept. Akira Kurosawa's film, The Throne of Blood, is a masterpiece of cinematic craftsmanship. However, as some critics have suggested, the film's success derives from Kurosawa's singular vision of a proud warri or's failure to realize his ambition for power. He shifts the scene of the action from Macbeth's Scotland to sixteenth century Japan during the Singoku civil wars. By changing the setti ng and characters he is able to play out the story in his own terms. He does not give us a Macbeth "too full of the milk of human kindness," who destroys himself by a transgression of his moral principles. Kurosawa's protagonist, Washizu, is a proud Japenese war lord. blinded by an ambition which makes him helpless against the forces at work to destroyhim. Credit must be given also to Asaichi Nakai's photography. The film's theme which centers around man's quest for power is kept vivid in the viewer's imagination by a series of scenes in which screaming warriors and their powerful steeds thunder across the bleak countryside. Nakai carves out a setting essentially stark and primitive to blend with the emotions of the characters. Even the gestures of the actors, stylized no doubt after the manner of Japanese classical drama. reinforce the picture of violence. Toshico Mifune in the part of Washizu goes through his movements as though he were performing some ritualistic dance in defiance of his predicament, his eyes pierci ng and his teeth clenched. Falls Short of Tragedy Despite its awesome power, however, Kurosawa's story comes short of tragedy. Though his protagonist fall s from a position of hol)or to disgrace, he does not possess a nature grand enough to stir the audience's feelings of pity and fear. The tragic hero must claim a superior nature and must be able to relate to the audience the signifcance of his terrible destiny. Though Washizu represents a formidable hero, he is inarticulate. At times he reacts to his misfortunes like a ranting maniac. The remorse he suffers after having murdered the lordship of Forest Castle goes little beyond exped iency, since he is troubled primarily with his failure to successfully seize power. It is fitting, to compare Washizu's motives with those of Macbeth. Macbeth responds to his wife's plea to kill Duncan only partly from ambition. He feels compelled to fill the shoes she has made for him. In Macbeth we have the case of a superior man motivated by a great pass ion. He bends to the will of his wife even if it means overstepping the bounds of his conscience. After his transgression his love cracks and he is t 11rown into a void he cannot endure. Because he has known the glories of a noble life he is equipped to tell us wliat it means to fall from greatness. When Macbeth calls life"a walking shadow" and "a tale told by an idot" we realize that he is no longer able to di scern the figures of the spiritual world that once governed his soul. This is the same man feared before the murder that Duncan's virtues would Cue and Curtain to 'Present Audience With Experiement in Field of Drama by Charlotte W etzel The College thespians are once a feeling such as this is not justified." again preparing to present its audStarring in Pirandello's play are iences with an experiment in the field Mary Russin and Marc Hirschman. of drama.

The once brisk vision of his imagination has become sinister and blurred. Washizu, on the other hand, along with !-:is ambition for power. murders from motives of suspicion and fear. He becomes a victim of his wife's cunning. She first succeeds in making him suspicious of his friend, Miki (Banquo), and warns him he must kill the lordship of Forest Castle before Miki informs him of the witch's prophecy. She later manages the death of Miki, himself, by working on her husband's fea r that his friend is anxious to secure the throne for his son. The fact that Washizu is tricked by his wife's scheming shows him to be a man whose power lacks both moral restraint and intelligence. Consequently, Washizu's crimes are not so grave as those of Macbeth and do not stain so greatly his intellect and will. His death scene. strikes the keynote of his situation. The emphasis is placed on physical torment. Throughout his agony Washizu remains dumb. He wades throuv,1-i an ava lanche of arrows, grunting like a wounded animal.

The tragic hero's rleath must be more lofty. Because of his superior endurance and his gifted tongue he is able to maintain eloquence in the depths of his suffering. This is what gives him his distinction.

It doesn't seem to bother him at all that this plan would destroy much of the civi lian contro l of the military of which we have always been very proud. As the topper to all of this, according to the senator's statements and voting record, he would also cut off most of our foreign aid program, both economic and military. Assuming Goldwater becomes President and takes all of these steps; where would they leave us? (I) We would have no diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. (2) We would pull the rug out from under our allies. (3) Our military commanders would, for all practical purposes, have the power to declare war. To me it seems tli at this road can only lead in one dirnction - nuclear war. Conservatives tell us that Goldwater doesn't really mean what he says. They say that he will temper his actions if he becomes President. This does not seem li ke a reasonable argument to me. If we cannot trust Gold-water to keep his word, how can we trust him with the responsibilities of the Presidency? If we take him at his word, it then appears that he will lead us down the path to disaster.

She proceeded to explain that the fault lay not with the machine but with the processing of incomplete or vague data and insufficient experience with such machines. She feel s that time will gradually perfect the mechanism. Mrs. Frijters received her doctoral degree in economics at the Netherlands School of Economics in Rotterdam.

This is the overall feeling of the student body, the faculty, and the football team itself. As can be reflected by the photograph of halfback Frank Wallace to the right, the 1963 football season has been one let down after another. Surely the team had the potential to produce a victorious season with its ample supply of players. Its line, although somewhat weakened due to graduation losses, performed admirably throughout the season. Its backfield contained a more than adequate number of fine players. The coaching staff, as all will agree, is one of the finest Wilkes has seen in many years. Yet something was lacking that proved to be the downfall of t1-ie Colonels; spirit, morale, cohesion - possibly. We must recognize, of course, the fact that injuries greatly hampered the efforts of the Colonels. The Colonels dropped the season's opener to the Dutchmen of Lebanon 1P In the second grid contest the Colonels were overpowered in the Parent's Day thriller by the Moravian Greyhounds. Taking an early lead the Colonels stalled on several occasions later in the game to drop a close 14-10 decision to the visitors from Bethlehem. Against P.M.C. the gridders were stopped again in a hard fought contest that ended in a tight 15-12 defeat. Despite the efforts of fullback Ed Comstock, who produced a 52 yard touchdown run, the Colonels once again succumbed in a close decision. The Colonel gridders gained their initial victory of the season against 3 losses, by downing the Ursinus Bears 28-8. With fullback Gary Popovich and halfback Paul Purta accounting for all four Wilkes touchdowns the gridders exhibited an extremely strong running game to produce their first win. In the annual homecoming tilt the Colonels were downed by Drexel Tech despite a brilliant 67-yard TD run by quarterback Tom Trosko. With several key players on the injured list the ~~l~~~lsDfa~ l~ ~o l~c~t c~h~~~~i~~r Colonels were _unable to hal~ the Dragattack in a contest which resulted in on attack wh,ch resulted m a 23-14 a 13-6 loss. defeat. 0 Road Runners ~own Barre, 26-0, To Capture Intramural Crown Wilkes dropped their 5th game of the season by losing a bruising contest to the Juniata Indians. Hampered by an injury jinx which claimed many outsta nd ing players the Colonels again failed to reign victorious as they fell to Juniata by a score of 7-6. The Delaware Valley contest saw the Colonels produce a 19-13 victory in which Ted Travis-Bey scored two touchdowns. ;fhe Aggies almost retaliated to prevail due to two miscues that almost resulted in another Wilkes' defeat. In the final contest of the gr id campaign the Colonels were triumphant as they downed Haverford 14-0. Both touchdowns were scored in the second quarter. Quarterback Tom Trosko took a Haverford punt on the 23 and raced 77 yards down the sidelines for the score. Good blocking, especially a key one by halfback Frank Wallace, cleared the way for the score. In the final minutes of the first half, Wilkes marched 60 yards in a drive that featured a brillant aerial attack. With the ball on the four yard line Ted Travis-Bey bolted the remaining distance for the tally. BARONS CAGERS EMBARK ON 1963 - 64 CAMPAIGN; FEATURE LOCAL TALENT by Don DeFranco The Eastern Basketball League opens its 18th season tomorrow with a full slate of four games. This year the loop has expanded to eight teams, Wilmington being the newest franchise. The Wilkes-Barre Barons, local representative to the league, travel to Williamsport on Saturday to battl e the Billies, and return home on Sunday for a game with the Scranton Miners. Fans will see an almost compl etely new team this year, as only three former Barons are returning from last year's squ ad: Bob Keller, T ed Luckenbill, and Eddie Simmons. Howie Montgomery and Jack Johnson, stellar performers on last year's squad, have gone on tour with the wor ld famous Harlem Globtrotters. General manager, John Solovey, and coach Chic Craig have once again succeeded in signing some top-flight personnel, such as Jim Buckhalter, a 6'7" fo rmer Globetrotter who also played with the Cincinnati Royals of the NBA; center prospect Bob Wollard, a 6' 10½" giant obtained in a trade from Wilmington; and Jerry Nixon, jump shot artist from Lincoln University. Two area cage products have also inked to play with the local club. Clark Mosier of Dallas, is one and the other is Gene Gaurilia, released this season by the Celtics. The Barons have dropped two exhibition games as of this writing, bowing to the Williamsport Billies 106103, and to the Scranton Miners 127121. Wilkes-Barre travels to Williamsport tomorrow night for the opener for both teams. Road Runners - Champions of Intramural Football (Left to Right) First row .

I, for one, have emerged from that shattering experience with a renewed sense of pride in my adopted country. For it is obvious to me that, far from revealing any fundam ental weakness, these sad events helped to place in sharp focus and show to the whole world the essential soundness and invulnerability of our political structure as well as the basic maturity of the American people. The sudden and brutal slaying of the dynamic and beloved President Kennedy has not resulted in a paralysis or a dangerous administrative vacuum. The instant the late President died the country had a new Pres ident, the man who was elec ted by the peo ple for that very contingency and who had been well prepared for the assumption of his aweso me responsibilities. There were no behindthe-scene maneuverings, no secret machinations, no danger of a military takeover, no street demonstrations. The conduct of the American people during those momentous days when the world stopped to watch history unfold itself before our own eyes, was truly remarkable. H orrified and saddened to the very marrow of their being, our peo ple remained calm and dignified through the whole cruel ordeal. When asked if he would reappeal the decision, George Evancho, president of IDC, stated that "too much time has been wasted on needless discrepancy nominees.

There is no need to rehears e the melancholy events, or to bemoan once more the sheer senselessness of it all. My first reac tion, like that of other Americans, was one of utter horror, piercing sorrow, and burning shame. But now that those agonizing hours and days are behind us, it beco mes possible to go beyond the grief and indignation and attempt a less sanguine appraisal of that tragic weekend. Although the news came early that the accused assassin was a pro-Russia and pro-Castro Marxist, there were no outbursts of anti-Communist hysteria, no flag-waving or slogan-shouting street demonstrations, no war cries, no breaking of windows of Russian or Cuban embassies or consulates.

Tippit, and Lee Harvey Oswald. These deaths could have been avoided. In reviewing the events of that tragic week-end we are shocked at what we find. It appears that the Dallas police, through the use of simple precautions and common sense, could have prevented the tragedy. Prior to President Kennedy's arrival in Dallas, the FBI informed the Dallas police that Lee Harvey Oswald, who was on their subversive list, was in the city of Dallas. The police w.ere advised to keep track of his movements. This apparently was not done. On the day of the President's arrival, Dallas policemen were assigned to check the people entering and leaving buildings along !he presidential route. When Lee Oswald, the alleged assgssin, entered the building from which the fatal shots were fired, he 'was stopped by a policeman. At that time he was carrying a long package in which the FBI later assumed he carried the murder weapon. Oswald told the officer that he worked in the building and his package contained a window shade. The officer let him go through WITHOUT CHECKING THE PACKAGE. A few hours later John Kennedy was dead. When Oswald left the building he was again stopped by a policeman. Again he explained that he worked in the building. Again he was allowed to pass. A few hours later J. D. Tippit was dead. Oswald was finally arrested by the Dallas police. He was brought to Dallas police headquarters for Questioning. During the time he was being held there, the police department released statements to the effect that he was guilty of the assassination. These fanned the flames of public hate. The Dallas police, as a normal procedure, pr.epared to move Oswald to County Criminal Courts Building. Before they made final plans on how to move him, the FBI informed the police they had received a threat against Oswald's life. Instead of doing the logical thing and moving Oswald quickly and secretly, he was moved publicly, with advance notice. A crowd of newspaper and television reporters gathered to watch him being moved. In the crowd was Jack Ruby. A few hours later Lee Harvy Oswald was dead. When a human being is murdered it is a tragedy. When the President of the United States is murdered it is a catastrophe. This catastrophe was unnecessary. We don't wish to imply that the Dallas police department was solely responsible for the tragic events, but we can't help thinking that if the Dallas police had acted with reasonable competence and intelligence these horrendous acts would not have occurred.

Apparently, Mr. Frances is so active on the Assembly Committee that, in a recent interview with Dean Ahlborn, Mr. John Campbell was presented as the chairman. We wish to remove some misconceptions held by Mr. Frances. Before writing that "appalling article" concerning the ineffectiveness of compulsory assembly, we spoke with the aforementioned John Campbell cin the phone. We wanted a statement, written or oral, concerning the purpose of the assembly programs. We did not get it. The accusation made by Mr. Frances, i.e., that we wrote on something about which we know nothing, is untrue. Having attended Wilkes for a total of five years, discounting the present semester, we feel we are not entirely ignorant of the existing situation.

Alis Pucilowski Jeff Gallet RAvEs Why Not? * * * by Andrea T emplar WILSON THANKS ALL Why aren't you going to attend one of the two formal affairs held on our campus? We have the answer. Going to these affairs is like going to a high school prom. You can't take the gym out of gymnasium. No matter how you puff, powder, lipstick, or decorate a gym, those baskets and floor markings don't move an inch, but peep from their crepe paper and stare hideously over your shoulder. And the smell of a gym, however pleasant at a wrestling match, becomes disastrous at a dance. Chanel and sawdust just do not mix. The music. You've had those same bland, dance bands since your eleventh grade proms. You have had enough. In other words, you downright refuse to spend money on a fancy Friday night dance. You have to rent a tux and your girl appears in a black sheath. The whole degenerate situation of our formal affairs is not shameful, but disgusting. Answers Given We said we had the answers. Here they are: First of all, instead of trying to take the gym out of the dance, let's take the dance out of the gym. We don't need those baskets, and they don't need us. There are plenty of places to hold a formal : The Irem Temple Country Club, The Mansfield Ballroom, The Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling. (Transportation to these places would be no more of a problem than it is for any dance date.) Instead of the usual bland dance band, we offer ballroom music, featuring Viennese waltzes, but including all types of modern dances. "Hold it," you say. " Waltzes?" Yes, waltzes. You sway for thirty seconds to three-four time, and the rest comes naturally. Now. We've taken our dance to a ballroom; we've given it beautiful music. We assume you're interested. What are you going to wear? We would like to see it become white-tie. Our reasons for this are both unusual and logical. First, we have never, in our memory at Wilkes, held a formal affair. (If you're an individualist, this is reason enough.) Secondly, black tie affairs have not proven themselves successful, anyway. Thirdly, almost every girl at Wilkes is harboring (or has access to) one floor-length gown. Whether anybody wants to admit it or not, long gowns make us feel more feminine and you more masculine, and there's no better arrangement than that. While white tie is not absolutely essential for this; we feel it will be beneficial because of our fourth and most important reason: The educational benefit derived from holding a truly formal affair. Broadens Experience Our education must touch on every aspect of our knowledge for future reference. Because it takes on the guise of a formal does not diminish its importance. In this world we are being prepared for through college, exists the practice of consummating business over formal affairs. Suppose your employer informs you that tonight at a formal dinner party you are going to bring about an important merger. You walk in feeling completely ill-at-ease be- I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who made the Thanksgiving All College Dance, sponsored by Student Government, a success. Dick French, Marie Shutlock, and Simon Russin headed the committees. John Loughney, Bob Deets, and Ron Czajkowski ably assisted. To Miss Millie Gittens and Mr. Art Hoover, chaperones, and to "Pop" Clewell, publicity, my special thanks. Harry W. Wilson Chairman ALL COLLEGE DANCE cause your white tie is too tight and your stick pin is stuck wrong, and you cower in the corner because you feel like a penguin in all-too unfamiliar attire. During this, just how do you intend to carry out intricate business manipulations. These are our logical answers. To say that most other colleges such as University of Pennsylvania, Oberlin, Scranton University have formal affairs would be superfluous, as would be the question - why must we leave Wilkes to have a "great" time at a formal affair. We would like to see the Cinderella Ball turned into a Viennese Ball. The subject will be open to your comments and criticisms through a survey to be taken especially for you. Our purpose is not to turn a formal hi-brow, but your-brow. TWO LEVELS OF IMPLICATION SEEN IN 1 WIikes College BEACON . ... .................. .......... Barbara A.

News Editor .......... . 1 8½ 1 Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni) is a famous film director. He is installed at a fashionable spa hot.el, and has started work on a new film (which sounds like the movie we're actually watching) while taking a rest cure. His writer is with him. His producer, his production staff and his star, Claudia, descend on him. He summons to the hotel, in turn, his mistress, Carla, and his wife, Luisa. 8-1;2 is a movie about making a movie, but it's also a movie itself (this obvious point, which we might at first have a tendency to forget, is given importance by Fellini who implicates the viewer in the action of the film). The artistic or creative process is the spine of the film; the questionable distinctions of illusion and reality ar.e the heart of the film. Fellini concentrates on the form of Guido's experience, and on the use to which Guido puts this experience. As to the form of Guido's experience: his experience is never just a simple thing; it's a minestrone of memory and madness, of fact and fantasy, of dream and desire. For example: when Guido sees a nurse, she is transformed into the girl of his dreams of innocence, and when he sees a solidly put-together, fleshly, woman, she is transformed into a prostitute of ancient memory. As to the uses to which Guido puts the form of his experience: it is important to state the question just this way. Most of us experience our experience. Guido makes use of it. In one sense, he plays an essentially passive role in his experience, in that he doesn't guide it; he lets it happen; and only later uses it, or acts on it. But in another sense, he dynamically and creatively participates in the experience, in that he uses it to support his im- aginative or filmic conceptions. He uses reality for imaginative purposes and these imaginative purposes in turn, serve the reality of his films. It's a nice irony. Life and art move in and out. For example: we see people trying out for parts (in the film Guido is about to make) that we have seen they have already played; excepting, however, that the parts they have already played were not parts to begin (Continued on Page J) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1963 Page 3 Ricki Hahn Selected Miss November Holiday Activities CHRISTMAS MUSIC TO BE F'E ATU 'R ED AT LAST 1963 ASSEMBLY, THURSDAY Continuing the tradition set in past years, the College Music Department wi ll present its annua l Christmas Ser1vice at next week's student assembly.

So there is Guido, blurring the distinction between his life and his art. But because this is a movie itself, there is another level of implication. Fellini also involves the viewer in the business of blurring the distinction between life and art. Guido's writer in the film makes the very comments about the film Guido is starting (but which is the fini shed film we are seeing, and that he is acting in) that we wou ld make. Then, again, the names of some of the characters in the film have the very names which they have in real life (if you want to get sticky, you and I live "real" li ves) Claudia, 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Gu ido's star, for example, is Claudia Cardinale.

The writer, Jimmy Cannon, recalled nostalgic scenes of bygone days at the Garden and the restaurants and tap rooms which filled the bellies and quenched the hea rty thirsts of the pugs and ringsiders alike. He said that boxing was dying, not in those exact words, but that's what he was saying - and that's how it reall y is.

The lead changed hands innumera ble times with the Barons down by only one point at the end of the third period. The Billies rallied in the fourth period, however, outscoring th e Barons 35-28. Bob Ke ller, the Barons leading scorer la st year and fifth hi ghest man in the league with a 27.8 average, dropped in 42 poi nts and comb ined with Ted Luckenb ill's 20 to pace th e squad. Juli us McCoy led the Billies with 43 points. Playi ng before a crowd of 3,000, the Barons lost their home opener to Allentow n Thanksgiving ni ght. The defendin g league champs overpowered the loca ls in handi ng th e Barons a 126-100 pasting. With standout Bob Keller sidelined for two weeks because of a pulled leg muscle, the Barons were unable to contend with th e fast break and deadly accuracy of the Jets. Allentown jumped to an early lead and held their margin throughout the ga me. Roman Turmon paced the visitors with 22 points, whi le Joe Roberts led the Barons with 21. Hometown favor ite, Clark Mosier, displayed his talents in the fou rth period as he dropped in 13 quick points. Saturday ni ght the Barons traveled to Allentown for a rematch with the Jets a nd were sent home with a 1171IO defeat. Poor foul shooti ng cost Wilkes-Barre a chance to wi n their first contest of the yea r as both teams made 44 goa ls from the field. The locals, however, hit on onl y 22 of 36 fouls attempted. Nowell and Buckhalter, with 28 and 20 points respectivel y, topped WilkesBarre, whi le Simon's 27 and Whitney's 25 headed the Jets. Sunday ni ght Wi lkes-Barre suffered its 4th st raight loss, a 122-1 04 drubbing by the Scra nton Miners. The contest eru pted into a slugfest as the two arch riva ls met at the Scranton CYC. The first period saw a batt le of the giants as 7' I" Bill Spivy and 6' 7" Joe Buckhalter exchanged a few punches. In the second period, Spivy aga in disp layed his " prowess", this tim e knocking out Tom Fitzmaurice with an elbow to the chest. In spite of these antics by th e Miners, the Barons bore the brunt of the punishment as they were called for 56 infractions to onl y 28 for Scra nton. Roberts' 22 points for W il kes-Bar re and Richi e Gaines' 27 for Scra nton were the team leaders. Recent acqui si tion, George Raveling, formerly of the Camden Bullets, dropped in 15 points fo r the Barons.

Maybe you're asking what I'm so interested in a lost cause for; or why I am writing about old stuff in a newspaper. It might be that I'm just rem iniscing and recalling the time my parents saw W illie Pep wearing blue suede shoes at a night spot in Hartford. That made Pep real to me and I idolized him. I wasn't very old when I saw him beaten - badly. T ears came into my eyes. I t h ink I would have felt that way even if I was older because I was part of the great spectacle of boxing. No one wants to be part of the spectacle anymore. So what, if in varying degrees the spectators, society, and even the crooks have left boxi ng to the vultures? And that's the whole argument.

Each of us should recognize more fully that our way of life is based upon the confidence that we have in one another and the respect that we show for one another.

Two years ago the Forum was organized by Mr. Gutin, who is still occupying the position of !'acuity advisor. The Forum meets every Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Chapman Hall. One of the major ideas the group would like to impress upon the students is their informality. They have only as many by-laws and rules as are needed. Keeping with the tone of informality there are no officers elected. The only recognized leaders seem to be Margi Harris and Linda Ewing, who take care of the refreshments. Mr. Gutin believes the Forum is an important means of training for the future. It gives the students a chance to give papers, that is, speeches, on topics in their chosen profession. There is no formal way of becoming a member of the Forum. Anyone who is willing to give one paper during the academic year can be a member. People other than members are also invited to attend the discussions. The meeting is opened by the featured speaker. Then a question and answer period follows, after which there is a genera l discussion of the topic. After the discussion, refreshments are served and the forum is closed. These meetings usually last about two hours. In th e forum so far this year, the students have discussed such subjects as: Mark Twain, The Power of the Major Jang Hae Kim, South Korean Army, Korea assignment - front line, duty-officer in charge of coordinating air and ground artilleries. During the course of this war, which could shape or sever a man's life at any instant, Kim's preparation for his future began without his actually knowing it. For his "excellent performance in combat line" and for his ninety five percent accuracy in direct hits, his country and government awarded Kim the Silver Star. But war is not si lver ornaments, "War is tragic," says Kim. Its coldness and futility manifested themselves for him in the last moments of that war. Here is his account. "North and South were informed that at JO p.m. on Armistice Day all fighting must cease. Minutes before the deadline every piece of ground and air artillery exploded as if incensed with animalistic, passionate rage. Never before had the fight been as loud, as desperate, as pathetically wicked. At 10 p.m., earpiercing si lence.

'Forum' discussion in the round College Press, Highlights of German Literature, and The Meaning of Civil Rights. This past Tuesday's topic was A Presidents Death; it was given by Douglas Bennington. 'F OCUS to Discuss Value of Frats I by Carolyn Kaplan What is "Focus"? It is more than a radio program; it is a vehicle for selfexpression and a forum for free thought. It is a half hour devoted to the discussion of topics pertinent to our times. Twelve Wilkes College students participate in these discussions which are taped in Chase Hall and broadcast over WNAK every Sunday at I :30 p.m. These twelve students are divided into groups of four. Each Sunday a different group participates in a discussion. On December 15 Group three will discuss the question: Fraternities and Sororities-How Valuable are they to a College Education? Members of this 1;roup are Barbara Gallagher, Joh n Lore, Joe Klaips, and Jim Tredinnick. Moderator will be Arthur Hoover. In the past, the "Focus" panelists have tackled such controversial subjects as integration and civil rights, the tormented generation, and the proposed amendment to the state constitution to r,rant scholarships and loans to college students. Mr. Livingston Clewell, who is- the Director of Public Relations at Wil~es, is the creator and producer of "F~i;is". and understood a minia ture cross sect ion of th e U nited States as a whole. This is Kim the way he presents himself. But we went to Ashley Hall where he is proctor to uncover how the fellows feel about this modest man who is responsible for their behavior. The Quotes of five young men represent the _ dorm's feeling about Kim. Dick Burns said, "In his capacity, he more than offers governing advice in all matters. He is extremely interesting because he makes you realize there is a lot more to life than you would ordinari ly see." Highly Respected Al Gamble was emphatically direct , "Very interesting. Well organized. High character. Quite profound." Al Airola: He is a person whose op in ions you respect immediately. He sets exa111p les rather than just using words. It's hiird to say if it's more of an honor or a pleasure to have known him." Perry Sangston: "I have more respect for him than for any one else. I'd take his advice before any others. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met, and I'll never forget him." Jeff Gallet: "You never really know a person until you live with him. I've li ved with Kim for three and one half years in a great variety of situations. I have never known a finer man. There just isn't one." high-minded, and egg-headish. Mr. Gutin is trying to impress upon the students the invalidity of these beliefs. He says, "Dealing with ideas can be a pleasure, and coll ege students should Study, The Hom e The Forum deserves more credit and realize it." It was this feeling that brought Kim interest than it is now being given. Out Mr. Gutin is hoping for a larger turn- to Wilkes through his cho ice of eduof 1300 students there are 12 in the Forum.

The first is a veteran plus cub reporter program. At th e beginning of the semester, each new reporter accom pa ni ed on an assignm ent an experi enced reporter who instructed the cub in the proper method of gettin g a story effeciently as well as how to write it up. Secondly, in order to insure th e best possible coverage of certa in important areas on campus, one reporter has that same assignment, or " bea t," every week. It is believed that in thi s way he can esta blish a closer relati onship with the department, and thus, give it a more profess ional covera ge.

Hallmarks of high fashion some are candle slim; others gently full. Necklines are scooped, squared, or strapless. Waists are most frequently encircled by cummerbunds. Bodices are encrusted with rhinestones, embroidered with delicate flowers, or lavished with white sequins. Flattering shades include ice blue, a sugary pastel, champagne white, hot pink, American beauty red, and Kelly green. Ball gowns are accompanied by dyed to match heels, above the elbow gloves ( in white of course), and envelope clutch bags resplendent with sequins, beads, or tiny pearls and sometimes dyed to match the gown.

At this meeting, the proposed amendments were read, discussed and defeated. Speaking for myself, and I think also for other officers and executive council members, we are not discouraged. For the past year and a half, the class of '66 has remained a little stagnant. something to say and would not be railroaded into any situations is important. I hope that this enthusiasm will remain for the next two and a half years.

White sequins, rhinestones, and spa ngles embellish on the skirt a vine pattern. A beguiling creation is a ball gown of white satin. A decolote neckline dips into a slight V in back. The skirt is candle slim. Both bodice and skirt are encrusted with silver threading, tiny tassels, and embroidered delicate white flowers. Rhinestone earrings, above the elbow gloves, and satin clutch bag add the final feminine touch. A taffeta confection in Kelly green is a striking choice for that very special evening. It is unsleeved and the scoop neckline dips to a lower scoop in back. The bodice is designed with an OV!l,fblouse effect. In back a huge bo'w adorns the waist. Frankly feminine is an ice blue taffeta gown. The floor length skirt fa lls in soft folds from the waist. The overblouse bodice is edged in white sequins and silver beads. Regally stunning is a satin ball gown in American beauty red. The neckline is squared in front and back. The bodice insert is resplendent with multi-colored sequins. The fitted waist eases into a softly pleated skirt.

The R epublican political picture has changed radically. Three weeks ago it appeared that Senator Goldwater was a fairly safe bet to get the Presidential nomination. His lib eral opposition was weak. Now , since the tragic death of President Kennedy, the Goldwater star seems to be on the descent. Even Goldwater's N ew Hampshire campaign manager, Senator Norris Cotton , admits that the Senator's chances have been hurt. The Goldwater strategy was to concede the Northeast and to pick up strength in the South and W es t.

Lodge gained national prominence first as a U .N. delegate and later as a VicePresidential candidate (without being hurt politically in the defeat of the Nixon-Lodge ticket).

MAILEY EXPLAINS THE IMPACT OF DALLAS READER COMMENTS Dear Editor: EDITOR'S NOTE - This column is a reprint of a story f irst run in the WEST SIDE NEWS, Dece mber 5, 1963. The tragic events of last week have given us time for so ber thinking and reflection. Many varied points have been rai sed on the drama of last week. I. Our Federal system being what it is ,there has been no Federal crime committed. Oswald's act was strictly a state act under our system of law. Under present conditions, there is no possibility that he could have been prosecuted for treason, for this act is specifically defined in the Constitution, which states that treason is a cri me against the U nited States and not against the States. Furthermore, it is def ined as "levying war agai nst them (the U.S.) or in "givin g the enemies aid and comfort." Moreover, a person cannot be so convicted except on the testimony of two witnesses to the overt act, or on confession in open court. If this act by Oswald was treason, it will never be known in view of his murder. 2. If a conspiracy to overthrow the government did exist, there is the possibility that Oswald could have been tried in the Federal jurisdiction under the Smith Act. While the States can still deal with sedition (Uphaus V. Wyman, 1959), the Supreme Court in two cases involving Pennsylvania laws (Hines Davidowiz in 1941 and Pennsylvania v. Nelson in 1956) , basing its decision on the doctrin e of "supersession" placed sedition and subversion in the U.S. jurisdiction. W e will never know wh ether or not the Oswald case was one that could have been tried in the U.S. jurisdiction . 3. A number of questions involving civil rights wo uld have arisen had Oswald been tri ed in either jurisdiction over the meaning of due process and fair procedure. Ri ght to counsel, imparti al jury, protection against self-incriminat ion, the atmosphere of an inflamed public opinion in Texas, coercion to obtain a confession, etc. would have taxed our judicial processses. Whether Oswald could have obtained counsel in view of the fact that his family had difficulty in obta ining a minister for hi s last rites will never be answered. The America n people will never know whether an impartial jury could have been selected for hi s trial, in view of the fact that the first reaction of most Am er icans was that " it served him ri ght." While every police officer is convinced that the circum~tanti al evidence was overwhelming in favor of convi ction, the courts will never decide whether it was enough. Convictions have been obtained on much less ev idence than that amassed against Oswald. Ti ghter Rules N eeded 4. The Dallas Police Department needs more than a tightening of its security rul es and regulations. It is impossible to permit hangers-on around a police station without affecting the effi ciency of the police force. The friend ly and chummy relations th at Ruby had with Dall as police spells a ruined image for police everywhere. What is the real basi s on which he is supposed to have known so m any Dallas policemen that he could walk into a security area without being ordered to leave? Any six-year old who watches TV thrillers knows that suspects such as Oswald are moved at unusual hours when people least expect it. Was it the press and TV that insisted on bri ght daylight? 5. Just what is the role and function of th e newspapers, TV, and radio? Is it to replace the criminal investigation of competent and professional police offi cers? The reporters certainl y did that last weekend. Is it to psychoanalyze peop le to determine what in their makeup or past hi story ca uses assassinations and murders? The TV boys certainly acted like amateure psychiatrists. Is it the role of a press or TV reporter to pry into the pri vate li ves of people who have been saddened by tragedy? They certainly entered the homes of such soul s. Bringing a TV camera into the kitchen of the Dallas police officer's home to interview his wife and family was cruel, inhuman, and devi od of respect for those poor people. T o scoo p a competitor in a story has its outer bounds - when people are sadd ened by tragedy and shock and th ey want to be alone to pray. To be with God at such a time is a private matter, and not a tripartite conference including God, the bereaved , and the newsman. Texas 'Enemy' T erritory 6. A point has been made that more security precautions should have been taken since T exas was "enemy" territory to the President. If those in charge of securin g the safety of th e Pres ident failed to round up Oswald and deta in him until the President had departed, or if he was cleared aft er hi s record was reviewed, then a compl ete over-hauling of the organizati on and personnel so charged is of paramount importance. But it is one thing to revise security regulations, and still another to ex pect to shut the President away from th e public that elected him. One of the ri sks that a democrati c society runs is that its official s must li ve lmder conditions tr.at are public necessarily fraught with dangers. No public offi cial can refuse to expose himself to the people who elected him. Whi le a distinction ca n be made between a public official's private life and public life, nevertheless it is on the basis of his public image that he is elected. It was on the basis of the activities (parades, speeches, hand sha king:, etc.) that the Pres ident was enj oy ing in Dallas that he was elected to the Pres idency. Therefore, fo r both the philoso phic and the practical reasons, our Pres idents must appear in public. 7. The media of communi cations - press, TV, and radio - did a remarkabl e jo b of giving the American people an opportunity to share the inside drama of hi story as it was being acted on the stage. But, the medi a is not without its failings. Nor, is it the sacred cow of American institutions that it should not shoulder a share of the responsi bility for what transpired. If newspapers and TV insist on taking credit for enlightening the public. they must also assume t he blame for fanning the flames of hate and venom by their vitriolic statements. How about the responsibility of th e press, radio, and TV in a city where the people had manhunted Lyndon Johnson and hi s wife in 1960, spat on U.S. Ambassador to the U N, Stevenson, and whic'1 has been known as a hotbed of dtra-conservatism? Specificall y, why did th e Dallas News take that ad against the Pres ident of the U.S.? Home for Extremists Dallas has been known as the home for extremi sts of al l persuasions. The people of tb e City have shown an inability to maintain a condition of temperate discussion. Furthermore, the habit of intemperate speech has been deepened in Dall as by th use of the mass media. Vituperati on of the President by a hostile press tend to influence people who are suggestible, who can easily displace to the person of the President all th e hates and fears they have against other people. It was in this atmosphere of violence and hatred that the assassin l ived feeling alienated against all humanity. The climate of Dallas - helped in its creation by th e press and TV - was conducive to murderous thoughts. Th e press has got to learn that there is a difference between a free press and a responsi ble press. TV has got to learn that unrestrained speech is inherently subversive. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRESS AND TV TO PROHIBTT ITS USE TO THOSE WHO CREATE A DISREGARD FOR AUTHORITY AND GRADUALISM. I can't tell you h ow much I enj oy and appreciate reading the "Wilkes College Beacon ". This fall's issues are rea ll y outstanding. The editorials are thoughtful, timely and provocative. The reprinting of Dr. Vujica's guest editorial on the front page of the recent issue of the "Beacon" is an excellent idea. His message is the finest that I have seen anywhere in reaction to die trag ic loss of our late President. • Pirandello's 'It Is So' by Alis Pucilowski, Jeff Gallet The performance of Mary Russin, as Si gnora Proia, the " insane" moth er-inlaw, in the Cue and Curtain presentati on of Lui gi Pirandello's It l s So If You Thin k So, was magnificent. Wh en Miss Russin came on stage, one could feel a bored audience snap to attention. When Miss Russ in left the stage, the spell was broken. That she should give such a fine performance is certai nly no surpri se. Her acting in such vehicles as Enemy of the People and The Music Man was impressive. Pirandello's play appears to be a scathing attack on goss iping for gossip's sake. One is left with the idea that PirandelJ o consid ers goss ip th e root of evil. He defends a family's ri ght to privacy. H owever, this potential was lost through Pirandello's weak hand)ing of c!1aracter and dialogue. Against th ese defects, Dick French performed admirably in hi s first role at the college. French shows the type of talent that Director Groh has a reputation for developi ng to its utmost. Durin,r the two hours traffi c of the stage, Mike Mostell a, gave a rather pedestrian performance. However, one must note the burden of poor characterizati on he was forced to bear.

In th e midst of a peri od of rebuilding, the team is lackin g in experi ence in the heavier we ights and is left with freshmen to occupy the 157, 177, and heavywe ight classes. In the opening session Coach John Reese was faced with an unexpectedly poor turnout created wh en ma ny excellent prospects, whom he was ant icipatin g, fa iled to make an appeara nce. U nfortunately the team is looking forward to a long, hard season due to th is lack of enthusiasm as displayed by the non-support of potentia ll y excellent grapplers. Not all is di scouraging, however, since th e team is st renghthened by the return of fi ve lettermen. Among these are two outstanding grapplers, Ned McG inley and Brooke Yeager. McGinley who holds dow n the 123-pound slot, ranked third last year in th e 11 5pouncl d ass of the NAI tourn ament and second in the Wilkes Open Wrestling T ourney. Now a sen ior, N ed has performed admira bl y in the past and has contributed numerous victories to the Colonel squad. Wh at is remarkable about Ned, in additi on to h is w inning, is the fact th at in college he is giving h is opponents a dec ided we ight advantage, as ev idenced by his wrestling in the ! IS- pound class in the Open. W it h his knowledge of the moves and possession of speed Ned makes up for his lack of weigh t and controls hi s often stronger adversari es. Brooke Yeager, returning after a year of a bscense is another asset to th e team. Occupyin g the 130-pound class, Brooke also wrestl es a bove his actual weight. In the past he received the outstanding MAC award for the 123-pound class. Brooke's skill and maneuverability has greatl y helped the team in th e past and most assuredly w ill be of grea t value in the future. strong competition from schools wh ich in the past were of litttle worry. The Colone ls have a real challenge facing them, but with th e strong determinati on th ey possess, they should produce a victorious season. Also among the top eliminators is John Gardner, wh o fill s th e 167-pound slot. John produced a cham pionship in the MAC tourney in hi s freshman year and has greatl y added to the Colonels strength.

Up by Clark Line, Sports Editor N aism ith's Brainchild Basketball was in vented by Dr. James A. Na ismith in 1891, although the first ga me was not played until January 20, 1892. The ga me is completely Am erica n, havin g no predecessor in any other coun try. It originated at th e Y.M.C.A. College in Springfi eld, Massachusetts as a mea ns of curtai lin g the dwindling enthusiasm in gymnas iums, where th e order of the day was calistheni cs and we ightlifting - both of whi ch becam e extremely boring after a time. Basketball was devised as an old man's game ori ginally, by its lack of body contact. At the time of its birth it was considered a sissy sport, and many of its enthusiasts were a bused bo th verbally and physically. Yet, basketball players proved their ruggedn ess in post- ga me brawls, and th e , port ga ined popularity until today it ranks as the foremost spectator sport wi th more th an 20 million participants throughout the world. The reasons fo r its popularity are its fl exi bility, its a bility to be played outdoors or indoors, asd the indifference to age. In add iti on their are no sex limitati ons. Furthermore it appeal ed to the youth more th an to the older generati on for which it was designed due to the im portance of speed and agil ity, m upled with skill. N a ismi th did away with the carryi ng of !he ball as in foo tball, and thus lay- ed down the basic premi se of the ga me - the negation of roughness caused by body contact, since there is no need for tackling. A final interestin g oddity is a solo game played by Pat McGee of St. Peter's Hi gh School in Fairmont, W est Virgini a. McGee's teamates fouled out of a game between the seni ors and juniors of St. Peters, and he was left alone on the court to carry on th e game wi th fo ur m inutes rem aining and the score ti ed 32-32. McGee scored a goa l and a fou l and th en held off his opponents to win tre game 35-32.

Speiser and hi s party of researchers from the U n iversity of Pennsylvan ia uncovered so me tablets in the Middle East which make wrestlin g as a. sport a bout 5,000 years old. The Greeks engaged in w restlin g matches, and the participants in the sport were revered throughout the world. As the Greeks developed a taste tor more acti on, Pa ncreat ium came into bein g.

After taking over the helm of the soccer team, he has greatly improved their record. It is hoped, with a great deal of confidence, that he will do the same with the basketball team. The cage team under previous coach Eddie Dav is managed to win on ly five games in the past two campai gns. Last season the team won two and lost twenty for a .097 average, the lowest in their conference. C oach Ferr is Jack Ba rnes should better its past records for the last three years.

Evolution of S wi m min g Those swimming enthusiasts among us, and es peciall y th e members of th e Wilkes College Swimming Club, should be interested to know th at swimmin g as a word ca me from th e Old English "swi mm in", and that th e sport of swimmin g ori gin ated, in modern civili za ti on, with the E nglish . A boo k entitl ed "The Complete Swimmer", by Guy Larcon and H arold S. U len, stated th at competiti ve swimming bega n a bout 1837, in London. The first contests were spo nsored by lhe " Nati onal Swi mmin g Society in England". In 1844, North Am erican Indi ans participated in an English meet. Flyin g Gull won the event with a hi ghl y unorthodox, un-European "windmill" stroke whi ch feat ured "grotesque antics." Actually, th is was probably the first public ex hibit ion of th e crawl stroke. The English, who were not concerned with speed, had been accustomed to the breast stroke, wit h vari ations of th e side stroke. The crawl ori ginated with the nati ves of South Amer ica and the South Seas. A ma n by the name of ). Arthur Trugen (so metim es Trudgeo n) introduced th e stroke whi ch was descr ibed as a double overhand, and eventually came to bea r hi s name. The Australian crawl was developed as such by Frederi ck Cavill and hi s fa mily, who incorporated the nati ve kick wi th the overh and stroke. Syd Cav ill was hJ red by th e San Francisco Ol ympic Club to train swimmers. Charles M. Daniels saw Cav ill in action and, in order to avoid bein g a copy cat, revised the kick and developed the Amer ican crawl. With his hybrid stroke, Dani els ti ed th e world 100 mark in 1906, with a time of 57.6 seconds. In March of the sa me yea r, he set a new record of 56 seconds, and then broke hi s own mark with a 54.8 second t ime. In 1862, the growth of swimming as a competiti ve sport necessitated direction by the Associated Swimming Clubs organi zation. In 1869, the Amateur Swi mm ing Associat ion of Grea t Britian too k over th e reigns with auspices over 300 clubs. The peri od from 1869 to 1890 is rath er vague as to the activities of the cl ubs. But during that period, in 1875, Capta in Mathew W ebb, of England, became the first person to swim the English Channel. If you desire any furth er enli ghtenmen t on the subj ect, you can get in touch with a fellow by the name of Lea nder something-or-oth er, who was last seen heading fo r the bottom of the H ellespont. Just in case Lee didn't resurface, you can fi nd Jack Barnes at the bottom of th e YMCA pool at 4 o'clock, and the "Y" is much closer than t he Hellespont. �Page 10 Friday , December 13 , 1963 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Sports Staff Honors Athletes With BEACON Fall Sports Awards Barons End Losing Streak With Wins Over Billies and Mercuries Don DeFranco Winebrake, Trosko & Morgan Gain Nod In Football and Soccer Shakeup By Craig Seen Responsible For New Life In Local Club The Beacon Sports Staff has decided to add one more award to the num erous honors availa ble to cam pus athletes fo r the ir efforts in th e various sports.

Andrew H our igan Time Changes Made In Class Schedules by Alis Pucilowski Many ch anges were recently made in the registrati on schedul es compl eted by the stud ents. Mrs. Ri a Frijters, program director of data processing in the va lley, h as announced that of the 1,273 schedules submitted, roughly 400 were changed. None of these changes, she explained, were mad e on an arbitrary bas is. Consideration was given to every deta il involved in the student's academic life. No Class Changes Mrs. Frijters explained that n o class changes were made, but the students' desired sections were. This was done to all ow each teacher of the same subject to have a pproximately the sam e amount of students. For example, if four hundred students were to take English 102 and if there were ten teachers offer ing th is course, each teacher would be given forty students. If more than forty students registered fo r one sect ion, thus creating an overload for one teacher, the "extra" students were pl aced in different sections in an orga nized manner. The distance traveled by the student and the time of hi s other courses were taken into considerati on. If th e stud ent did not register for any 8 a. m. classes, Mrs. Frijters explained that her crew tri ed whenever possihi e to keep th at hour open for the student. Moreover, if the student did not schedule any classes for one day, thi s was likew ise catered to. Mrs. Frijters asks that those stud ents who have phys ical educati on check with th e respect ive teachers because of sli ght vari ati ons wh ich were made on th e students' schedul es because of confli ct ing courses. An example follows: A stud ent registers for section H of physical educa ti on, which offers bowling at 8 a.m. on Thursday and gym (Continued on Page 3) NOTICE Students please refrain from usi ng the parking lots at Gore Hall and at the corner of South and S.

Johnson's decision to appear at tomorrow's convocation exercises caused a furor on campus is a tribute not only to her position as First Lady but also to her personal appeal as a challenging, interesting woman. It would seem that th e Cue and Curtain Society has so far put forth a rather disappointing year. Starting out with I Spy and C ecile, Cue and Cur- _ tain recently produced It Is So, If You Think So leaving a bitter-sweet taste in this person's mouth. Apparently li ght comedy is not Cue and Curtain's forte. Rumor has it that a Shakespeare production is in the offing. One can only wonder what the result will be. We only hope that our "northern hospitality," sure to be touched by her "southern charm" will successfully convey our pleasure that she has given us this opportunity. GREAT EXPERIENCE To criticize Cue and Curtain is not the intent of this letter. The organization certainly does a marvelous job in providing excellent entertainment and experi ence for bot h audience and actors. H owever, perhaps a more judicious choice of play, and more careful casting would resu lt in productions reminiscent of last year's Look Back in Anger. In all honesty, with the exception of Cecile, Cue and Curtain's casts have not been provided with the best of veh icles. HOPEFU L The prese nce of so many illustrious persons - Mrs. Johnson, Governor Scranton, Dr. Graham, Mr. Shapp and a host of local dignitaries - will undoubtedly focus national attention not only on the Convocation and the dedication of our million dollar research center, but also on the community of Wilkes-Barre itself. Their interest will illustrate to both local and out of town residents the importance of the work of the Redevelopment Authority and the progress that a small community in a "de pressed area" is making in the realm of advanced learning. ouri) and 18 other senators. The main purpose of the bill was to grant the public and the press increased access to the records of government agencies and to solve some of the numerous complaints against government managed news. The fact that these important people took time out from their busy schedul.es to take part in this weekend's activities leads the rest of us to take a closer look at the significance of the event. But perhaps more important is the intangible gift that they hav-~ brought to us, in the area of human experience and relationships. Probably never before in the history of the College has there been such visible exhilira tion on campus; so much excited attention c_o ncentrated on campus activities by both students and non-students. The exhiliration and spirit spread by the vitality of these visiting people, as well as the entourage of associates and communications men who invariably accompany them, is infectious . The experience of meeting these people who "make the news" in our world is not only a valuable and an exciting one but also an educational experience for the average student 1;LJhich is unattainable in any textbook. • • 1dl,e1t DISAPPOINTED Dear Editor: Thus we eagerly await meeting her for both reasons .

Perhaps the most important of all provisions in the bill is that the Federal Courts can order the production of improperly held records. This is clearly an attempt to discourage agencies f'rom classifying documents as "Confidential" and "For Official Use Only."

The real reason seems to be that MacMillan, afraid of public displeasure, decided to withdraw the book rather than risk carrying an unpopular one. Th is is not meant as a defense for Lasky's book, which is at best undistinguished. It is rather a reaction to the wave of fear that came over me when I reali zed that after MacMillan's action not one ripple of disapproval was heard, not one word. Right to Dissent One of the cornerstones of our way of life has always been the right to dissent, the right to voice an unpopular opinion. I am not saying that the dissenter was welcomed with open arms in the past. He wasn't. But he was tolerated. He was allowed to speak. The argument comes up that people have not changed. In past times society would have done the same thing. But it could not. It was not mobilized. This was before the days of radio and television, of Gallup, Roper, Nielson. and Harris, of mass transportation, of printed but in having it distributed and read. As a political science student, I cannot read the publications of either the far left or the far right without the fear of getting my name on some black list that will come back to haunt me in t r. e future. I know of a co llege newspa per which bega n to receive copies of communist propaganda. Along with the literature ca me a ca rd from the United States government explaining that what the paper was receiving was communist propaganda and asking the editor if hP. wished to continue receiving it. The editor answered that he would. The edit or has since expressed misgivings about thi s. This should not have happened. A college editor should not have to fear examining all sides of an issue. The theory behind our poli tical and educational systems is the free exchange of ideas. This means all ideas, not just those passed by a censor. Wilkes -Barre C en sors The most dangerous of all censors is the private self-appointed type. Soca lled decent literature groups are of ideas? If they do they are wrong. It is ludicrous to defend fr eedom by attacking it, to secure fr eed o m by taking it away. If di ssent in print is difficult, di ssent on the airways is impossible. Not only is political di ssent discouraged but political dissenters have difficulty taking part in any radio or television activiti es. Peter Seeger, long considered one of the nation 's leading folk singers, is never seen on television and rarely heard on radio. The reason given is that Seeger has "communist connections." This situation is not getting better. It is getting worse. It will continue to get worse until the public does something about it. It is about time community and civic groups stop stifling new ideas and rather encourage their free flow. It is about time for students to become exposed to these ideas, particularly on the college level. Ideas contrary to our own should be discussed rather than censored beca use di scussion and not censorship is the way to preserve the Ameri ca n system. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, January 10, 1964 Page 3 Clewell Originates New Te I e vision Pro CJ ram i Applications for Finnegan Scholarship Talent Of Fourteen Area Colleges To Be Featured Available for Govt.-Minded Students by Lois Petroski "Varsity-Accent on College," a completely new television program embracing the talent of 14 northeastern Pennsylvanian colleges and universities, will make its debut on Sunday, January 12.

In Finnegan's M emory This foundation, which has enabled over fifty-nine students to fulfill summer internships at the State Capitol, is a memoriam to the late James A. Finnegan. At the time of h is death Mr. Finnegan was the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He was President of the City Council of Philadelph.ia in 1951 and served as National Campaign Mana ger for Ad lai Stevenson in the 1956 Presidential campaign. Knowing the va lue of education, he spent much of his tim e helping young people to continue with thei r studies. These awards have been established by Mr. Finnegan's fr iends to ca rry on the work in which he was so much interested. Scholarships Availc.ble From SG; Plans Made For Frosh Orientation For students who are finding it difficult to pay their college tuition, Student Government may have a solution. In addition to the funds made avai lable through scholarships from the College and loans from the federal government, Student Government has initiated a scholarship plan that will soften the financial blow. Cathy DeAngelis expresses the collective opinion of the organization as follows: "Student Government is proud to be able to help worthy students in their pursuit of a college education!"

Those p)ans already on the agenda fo r next semester include a trip to New York in April, fo llowing the tax season, to visit various accounting firm s. At such time, members will be given an opportunity to observe the activiti es they some day hope to become a part of. In March , representati ves of the Ge neral Accountin g Office in Washington will be the guests of the Account ing Club at one of its regularly scheduled meetings. These representatives will explain many of the opportuni ties existing in the account ing profession, and will answer all questions related to The General Accounting Office.

According to Co-cha irmen, Fred Smithson and Ruthie Schimm elbusch, th is year's event should be the best of severa l very successful Winter Carnivals. The affa ir is scheduled fo r Friday, January 31, at Buckhill Falls in the Poconos. As in previous years, the tickets are being sold for $1.50 each. Winter Sports For the bravest of the brave, skiing faci lities will be available. The lifts, wh ich will be operating from 10 a.m. unti l 4:30 p..m., ca n handle up to 2,000 persons an hour. Therefore, there should be plenty of room for you on the slopes. Skis and equipment are $3.50 and up; thi s includes the use of the lift. If you own your own skis, the only fee is the $2.00 charge for the use of the lift. Incidentall y, previous Winter Carniva lites give thi s advice: Don't be afraid to try skiin g just because you're a beginner; everyone has fun learning. If figure skating is one of your outstanding accomplishments, you can enjoy th e skating rink at the Falls, wh ich covers an area of 22,000 sq uare feet, an increase in size since last year. Skating is free if you bring your own skates. If you prefer to rent skates, the charge is 55 cents. For those winter sports enthusiasts who are afr a id to ski and ca n't skate, sledd ing fac ilities will also be avai la ble. The use of the sleds h as been included in the price of the ticket, which mi ght account for th e fact that at th e last two carni va ls, sledding h as re- ported ly been second in popularity to sk iing. Snow{lake Queen The hi ghli ght of th e day will be the crowning of the Snowfl ake Queen. This event will take place in the afternoon at th e skat ing rink. Details concerning the "coron ation" are not complete at th e tim e, but the Committee hopes th at the use of a PA system and television coverage _:;viii add interest and excitement to this part , of the day's program. T he grand fin al e will be the Winter Carni val Dance which will be h eld between 7 and JO p.m. The Snowfl ake Q ueen and h er court wi ll preside at the affair. Music will be prov ided by the Rhythm Aces, featuring Mel W ynn, the lead singer. Joe Klaips members are welcome at any time.

In reference to this same subject, he was asked about Senator Margaret Chase Smith's potential as a presidential candidate and replied that she was remarkably able and a good speaker and that he hoped she would follow through with her intention to run - if it is her intention Continuing along national lines, the reporters queried the Governor on the Panamanian situation. In his answer, Scranton, although stressing that he was not well versed in the background of the problem because of his recent busy schedule, commented that he concurred with the action taken by the President. His reason was that we must preserve our rights in the Canal Zone. When queried about the proposed sale of wheat to the Russians, Scranton saw no reason why we should not get rid of our surplus as long as it does not endanger our security but he definitely feels that the power of interpretation of this bill should be put into the hands of the President rather than the legislative body. Turning to state issues, Governor Scranton explained his position on the proposal to change the unemployment compensation laws. The changes supported by the Governor would reduce the amount of benefits to certain workers, as well as the length of the period during which benefits would be paid. i;It gave two major reasons for the necessity of this action. First, he noted that in some cases the Pennsylvania rate of employer contributions is the highest in the nation. He felt WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNA. that this high rate was an important stumbling block to the state's acquisition of new industries. Secondly, and more important, he reminded us that the state had borrowed heavily from the federal government during the previous eight years and that the already dangerously low reserve fund would not be able to repay this debt. In response to a question on federal and state aid to education the Governor replied that he was happy to see an increase in such aid, but that he thought more was necessary, particularly on the high school and college levels. The interview was concluded at this point so that the Governor could resume his busy schedule. Wednesday, January 15, 1964 rirsl Lady Con1mends NelV Research Center; Graham Discusses Area Redevelopn1enl by Lois Petroski and Alis Pucilowski The convocation and dedication of the research center highlighted by the appearance of Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson, began at approximately 2:40 p.m. when the Academic Procession entered the gymnasium. As Dr.' Eugene S. Farley escorted Mrs. Johnson to the stage, she received a standing ovation. The Reverend Jule Ayers then proceeded to deliver the Invocation. Congressman Daniel Flood was introduced by Dr. Farley to an ov erflow aud ience of approximately two-thousand people. The Congressman opened his speech with th e remark that "there was a time wh en the possibility of having two democrats on the same stage was almost unthinkable." The day's circumstances made th e Honorable Mr. Flood quite happy. Congressman Flood introduced Dr. Frank P. Graham , U . N. Representative to India and Pakistan, and chairman of the Area Redevelopment Administration. Dr. Graham congratulated Dr. Farley as "a dynamic leader in the renaissance of the anthracite region. The speech delivered by Dr. Graham was entitled "Regional Rede velopment as a National and International Challenge in Our World of Peril and Hope." It included a survey and discussion of the ten main regions within the sovereignty of the United States. Dr. Graham remarked that "Basic and general education are needed to equip youth, and the people, to develop victorious personalities, civic understanding, social and spiritual ins ights as citizens and spiritual beings." He proc ee ded with the explanation of the new needs of vocational education which , he said, must now be oriented to include "industrial. commercial. technical. civic and social skills to meet the needs of a growing society." He cited Massachusetts as an example of the valu es of education as a bulwark against becoming a depressed area. tific research as a center for the renExpounding upon her husband 's aissance of the anthracite region of statement that "the nation cannot afPennsylvania and beyond." ford poverty," Mrs. Johnson said that a student lost to poverty represents a After Dr. Farley's introduction, Mrs. loss in future strength.

Scranton, Busby Optimistic About Valley by Joe Klaips and Charlotte Wetzel At Friday evening 's convocation ex ercises, Governor William Scranton and Mr. Jack Busby , president of P ennsylvania Power and Light Co. , discussed th e topic of "Regional Dev elopment." Mr. Busby, first speaker for the evening , began with congratulatory remarks directed to Dr. Eugene S. Farley for the fin e work he has done in helping th e dream of a graduate research center become a reality . In his ~peech on "Industry and Regional D evelopment" , Mr. Busby pointed out that there is general agreement that th e area should s trive to revitalize its economy through the expansion of diversified industry. Busby stated . that, although the community is apt to view its situation as grave. it should realize that its economic position has recently been improving. "As we view the recent past, we can properly take great encouragement from the fine progress that has been made. The region as a whole has broken away from that grim pattern in which, year after year, the record has shown decrease after decrease in employment." Although , as Busby pointed out, th ere has been an increase in employment, more rapid gains in employment are being sought. As a solution to this problem Busby pointed out live underlying questions that would be involved: "Do we meet the basic requirements for industrial growth? What are our local environmental nee ds? What kind of industry are we after? What is our top priority need in the region? What must we mainly rely on in rebuilding our regional economy?" In elaborating upon these points, Mr. Busby said , "The disappointments in industrial and regional development are those that come about wh en a region , or a community, under-values its own worth and commits its limited resources, perhaps all of the resources available for a considerable period of time, to a marginal undertaking. All too often, having risked everything on a poor gamble, the community and its citizens lose all then invested or, at best, gain only marginal benefits." Busby had the following to say about the College Research Center: "Communities and regions that build quality into their structure, as typified by thi s Science Center, can attract and can hold out for industries of good quality which have sound prospects for future Qrowth." Busby closed by revealing some of the future plans of PP&L, including th e investment of $500 million in ma chinery and equipment to replace old facilities over th e 10 ·year period from l 964 to 1973. Governor Scranton, prior to delivering his address, presented a signed agreement to Dr. Farley for a $15,000 research project in the anthracite mine drainage field. This agreement between the State and the Research Center brings the total research contracts to between $150,000 and $200,000. Selecting "Regional DevelopmentA State Challenge" as his topic, Governor Scranton continued Mr. Busby's trend of optimism . "It is common to refer to our region as ·a depressed area.' Certainly we have our economic problems , but in matters of the spirit we are not depressed." Quite to the contrary, "the economic challenges of the past decades have renewed our faith and our conviction that the coal region is a good place in which to live." Regional strength, Scranton point~d out, is the bas is upon which to solve development problems. "As you !fee, the idea of regional development js to me a most exciting one. If there were a single unifying cord to the activities which we as people are waging to achieve a better future , I would say that regional development might provide such a unity. It is involved with all our problems, and all our problems are involved with it." In closing, Governor Scranton saluted those persons responsible for the establishment of the Research Center, and assured the college it would be more steps, such as this one taken on the campus, that would lead the drive for regional development in Pennsylvania. Shapp, Carpenter E1-nphasize Education by Carolyn Kaplan and Barbara Simms Doctor Eugene Farley was host to th e approximately 280 people who attended the "special invitation" luncheon held at the Commons on Saturday. Speeches by Mr. Donald F . Carpenter, retired manager, Films Departmept, E . I. Dupont and Company, and Mr. Milton J. Shapp highlighted th e affair. They spoke on the afternoon's theme, "Education, Research, and Economic Development." Mr. Shapp stressed that education and educational institutions play an ever-increasing role in today's econ-· omy. He feels that we must invest our energies in developing the human mind and its potential. Shapp pointed out that only five out of one hundred •jobs are open to the unskilled. Therefore, the com- munity needs educated, skilled, employable people. Industry, he stressed, looks for a trained labor force when selecting a site for a new plant. That is why this new center is so important. In conclusion, Mr. Shapp stated that education has a tremendous impact on the economic development of any part of the United States. Mr. Carpenter expanded on the subject of research and industrial development as related to Wyoming Valley. He stated that research is important, "but of greater importance are the men and women who have done this research. They have learned by doing, . . . they have been important factors in revitalizing old industries as well as creating new ones." He feels that it is significant that Wilkes College developed at a time when the need and desire for higher learning was growing, and that the College, especially with its new grad uate and research center, will provide extensive training and the specialized facilities that are needed, as well as leadership in development. Carpenter conduded with the statement: " Gentlemen, you have the need, you have the people, you have the leadership, and now you have the facilities to meet that need. I congratulate you ." �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Wednesday, January 15, 1964 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW EDITORIALS LEST WE Dr. Graham Stresses Education, Cooperation FORGET by Marshall Evans Although we have been honored during the past weekend by visits from many dignitaries , both on the regional and national level, we must be careful not to overlook the reason for their visits or the true significance of the weekend's events. We are referring, of course, to the fact that w e were honored by the presence of many guests because of our dedication of the Graduate Research Center. Not only should we realize that the center will attract new industry to this area, but also we should be aware of the fact that the establishment of this research center is another step forward in our free educational system. In a n after-dinner discussion with D ean George Ral ston, Th e Rev. Dr. Jul e Ayers , and Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, Dr. Frank Graham revealed many of his views on both local and national matters. A most fascinating person, Dr. Graham did not dodge any questions , and always gave straightforward answers. He is liberal-minded, believing that every individual has the right to express his own opinion and to be heard. Commenting on the Area Red evelopment Administration, Dr. Graham had many words of praise for Congressman Daniel Flood, particularly for his long and difficult efforts in bringing about thi s Administration under the " Flood-Douglas Bill. " In his s peech Satu rday afternoon, Dr. Graham stated: Th e A . R . A. . . . seeks and hopes, wisely, in response to community initiative, to provide .. . cooperative guidance. Stating six needs common to depress ed areas, he continued: For a ll these , cooperation between local, state, and federal governments is indispensable for full realization of the potentialiti es of the region . prise the public, and local, state, and federal governmen ts to realize a goal w hich shall benefit all - cooperation as witnessed by the expanded science fa cilities a nd the graduate and research center of the C ollege, dedicated this past weekend. Of these needs, th e first is "more and better general education." He also made seve ral comments in his speech concerning the important valu e of "libraries as well as research centers," for an area and state to better itself. It was, perhaps, most appropriate that in last Thursday's When asked about the possibility cssembly, Attorney Charles Casper based his address upon the of the Federal Government creating very idea of freedom of thought and expression, and free eduan agency, similar to the A.R .A. , to cation for all.

He continued to say that this plan does not have unqualwithout a great deal of hard work. There were times when it ified su pport from the South because was felt that the realization of such a dream was beyond all of th e F ederal insistence on integrahope. Nevertheless, as Mr. Casper pointed out from the lives ti on where aid is given. of Beethoven, Milton, and Zenger, these men did not lose hope After the integration issue has been in spite of mounting odds; this same example might be applied solved - not overnight - most areas to those persons involved in this project who did not yield bewill support such legislation and th ese cause they had the courage to stand up for what they felt was programs will come into existence.

J. J. K. In an exclusive interview with the Mr. Shapp is well-known as a lec- Shapp Picks Shriver V. P. Nominee; A m e n d m e n t s Retard Constitution T H A N K S • • Beacon Mr. Milton J. Shapp, considered the leading candidate for the D emocratic nomination for United st ates Senator from P ennsylvania, predicted · that R. Sargent Shriver, brother-in-law of th e late President Kennedy would be the running -mate of Preside nt Johnson in the upcoming presidential election. In appraising his own chances for the Senate, Shapp said that of the .five or six candidates being lmentioned for the nomination, he thought Miss Genevieve Blatt would be the one to give him the most opposition. He dedared that if it were necessary he would enter a state-wide primary fight to gain the nomination. Turning to state issues, Shapp, who was the sparkplug of the movement to call a constitutional convention , ter med the proposed amendments to modernize the state constitution "a step backward." He feels that it will take at least eight to ten years for the legislature to act upon the subject of a convention. Shapp said that the new Wilkes C o 11 ege R esearc h C enter is t h e b eginning of a new era for this area. In the past, he pointed out, the area has attracted only low-wage industries such as clothing and shoe manufacturing. The new center will attract highwage industries such as chemical and electronics plants. • When we conceived the idea of this special edition we were warned to expect a rough time in "getting our stories" in the melee of the weekend's activities. When the convocation and dedication assumed national proportions,. so did the press coverage. As "insignificant college kids" we were prepared to b e pus he d asi de in f avor o f important visitors. But to our pleasant surprise just the opposite happened: Mr . James B. Post, County Commissione11, Mr. Joeph Salsburg , Beacon advisor and Mr. Jack Conmy, Governor Scranton's Public Relations man, combined their efforts to arrange for an exclusive Beacon press conference afte'r the public conference Friday and the Governor not only kindly agreed but even skipped dessert to prolong the session. The Honorable Daniel J. Flood and the local newspapers opened their files to us for background on Mrs. Johnson and the other distinguished guests. turer, author, and businessman. He is a consultant to the D epartment of Commerce , Area President of the American Jewish Congress and a special consultant to-the P eace Corps. In 1950 he instituted the Shapp Scholarship Fund. On the subject of politics and the Republican party 's Presidential Nominee for I 964, Dr. Graham had the following statements to make: "A contest between Senator Barry Goldwa ter and Presid ent Johnson would be healthy for the country, giving the voters a clea r-cut choice between a most definite Conservative and a Moderate-Liberal. " However, he added: I do not think it will happen. He said , "Governor Rockefeller has a wonderful program, and would be the candidate if it were not for his marital problems." Scranton! H e stated that Governor Scranton and former Vice-President Nixon were very formidable candidates for the nominations, and he hinted it would be narrowed down to these two men. He does not discount Governor Romney, but fe els he has been hurt beca use he has not been able to establish his full economic prog rams. H e also agreed that Gov. Hatfield of Oregon will probably be the Vice-Presid en tial nominee. Dr. Graham also gave some most informative and interesting views on th e integration issue. He commented on his first experience wi th the integration problem twenty-five years ago in North Carolina . In th e next issue of the Beacon, there will be an entire article devoted to this subject. Batt Instrumental Mrs. Johnson's In Visit "Mrs. Johnson is delighted to accept your kind invitation to attend the Convocation on Saturday. She looks forward to meeting you and the members of the student body and to seeing the new research center." Elizabeth Carpenter, press secretary to Mrs. Johnson. This was the telegram wired to Dr. Farley that brought the First Lad y to the campus and •made Wilkes College the focal point of nation-wide communications for several days . Behind the Scenes Of course , like all major news events, there is a story behind the scenes and this one centers on Bill Batt, form er Pennsy lvania Secretary of Commerce. During his tenure of office in Harrisbu rg , long before he moved to his present position with the Area Redevelopm en t Administration , Bill Batt was a friend of the College. H e not on ly recognized the importance of indu st rial development, but also realized that it must be accom pa ni ed by research facilities and advanced education. He saw the significance of a visit from Mrs. Johnson and propelled her in this direction ; hence her appearance at the Con vocation exercises. Mr. Milton J. Shapp took time out from a heavy schedule to grant an interview to Jeff Gallet, who was aided in contactmg him by Miss Nance Cordy, secretary to Dr. Farley. The reporters and photograp h er.s o f t h e C o Ium b ia Broa d casting System, United Press International, and Associate d Press allowed our reporters to act as guides, shared their information with us, went out of their way to help the staff in h d di f getting their stories.

" by Pauline Bostjancic, Bill Kanyuck, and Rich Kramer Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson arrived at the Wilkes-Barre-Scranton Airport at 10:05 Saturday morning accompanied by Congressman Daniel J. Flood and a group of White House reporters. The First Lady was met at the plane by Mrs. William Scranton and was o fficially welcomed to Northeastern P ennsylvania by Dr. and Mrs. Eugene Farley. Mrs. Johnson greeted members of thf, press and local officials, and was presented with a floral bouquet by Cathy DeAngelis on behalf of the students of the College, while the Wilkes band played the "Yellow Rose of Texas." After a great ovation from the assembled crowd, Dr. Farley formally introduced Mrs. Johnson, who expressed her gratification that the people of this region are actively solving their problem. The First Lady also stated that the Federal and State government should continue to work toqether on just such projects as the Wilkes Research and Graduate Center to give the people more help. Mrs. John son and her party departed from th e ai rport at 10: 15 and proceeded to the Scranton Courthouse where they were greeted by Mayor Schmidt; the First Lady was then presented with a key to the city of Scranton. At 11 a.m. Mrs. Johnson le ft Scranton and proceeded to WilkesRarre's Public Square where she addressed the crowd briefly . She then went on a tour of Goldsmith Mills, a tex tile plant aided by the Area Redevelopment Administration. The First Lady also toured the Wyoming Technical Institute where courses are offered in various technical fi elds. After Mrs. Johnson left the Institute, she proceeded to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Farley where she lunched privately and relaxed momentarily before the afternoon·s dedication exercises. Arrives at Farley's Arriving at the Farley residence , Mrs. Johnson was greeted by scores o f new smen and students. Before she entered the house, one BEACON reporter approached Mrs. Johnson and spoke with her. Asked if she planned The main topic of the meeting was the Governor·s thoughts about a possible Presidential nomination. When asked if his indecision in announcing his candidacy would hurt his chances, Governor Scranton said, "It doesn't bother me. I don"t want to be President." Later, when a possible Vice-Presidential spot was mentioned, the Governor remarked, "I don"t want to be a candidate for any national office." Despite these denials , Governor Scranton left the door open for a draft by stating that he was still considering President Eisenhower's request that he enter the race. C oncerning other Republican presidential aspirants Scranton said, "I wouldn 't discount anybody as a potential candidate." Turning to local topics, the Governor suggested a solution to the problem of the Laurel Run mine fire which he had inspected earlier in the day . The Governor added "At present only one home is endangered by carbon monoxide gas." Scranton observed that the extinguishing of the fire would not in itself solve the problem. A redevelopment program would have to be instituted to find new homes for residents whose present homes are in jeopardy . The fire can be controlled within 18 months to 2 years at an approximate cost of 3.5 million dollars, which can be covered by the Mine Drainage Fund, originally backed by Governor Scranton and Congressman Daniel J. Flood. In closing, the Governor said that he was "certainly thrilled about the Resea rch Center"' and emphasized that it would aid in creating new jobs ;,nd attracting new industry. First Lady and Dean Ahlborn at the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre airport. to make many trips of this type the First Lady replied, "At the moment I am not aware of any such invitations, but if asked I certainly would like to go." A second question concerned whether or not Mrs. Johnson had any information to aid the President in decisions. Her answer was, "I'm very interested in what I've seen here, and I plan to have a discussion with him when I return home." Then Mrs. Johnson entered the house. At 2:30 p.m., students again had an opportunity to see Mrs. Johnson when she met with them in Stark 116 and addressed them briefly. When Mrs. Johnson entered the room the assembled students and newsmen rose and applauded. When the applause subsided, Mrs. Johnson approached the lecturn and said: ··r hope you all are having as interesting a time in education here as I am having in my education this morning. I feel in my short stay here of five hours that I have seen a slice of American spirit . .. of how to take hold of a serious probl em and deal with its local impetus, ideas, and mon- President Declares War On Poverty Batt Has Long Career In Government Work by Ruth Partilla Escorting Mrs. Johnson to the airport after her visit to the College was William L. Batt, Jr., present Area Redevelopment Administration director and former State Secretary of Labor and Industry. During his administration, Batt supervised the collection of an unemploymen t trust fund for state workers through the Bureau of Employment Security, in addition to presiding over one of the world"s largest employment agencies. P ennsylvania "s Fair Employment Practice Commission and its Older Worker Program evolved largely as a result of his interest. Shortly after the 1960 presidential elec tion . Batt was chosen by the late President Kennedy to work with a committee planning a federal aid program for chronic unemployment areas. This was followed in 1961 by his appointment as administ rator of the Area Redevelopment Administration. This act set up a federal loan and grant program for the purpose of drawing industries into areas that have been deprived of their chief economic support. Before Batt was .appointed to state office by Governor Leader in 1957, he was .the executive secretary of the Industrial Development Council in Toledo, Ohio. He organized Toledo's first planned industrial district in a program that drew more than seven thousand new jobs to the area in three years. President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered his first State of the Union message last Wednesday before a joint session of Congress. The 42minute, 2,900-word address was the shortest presented by any President in 30 years. On the domestic side the Presi dent called for a tax reduction of $11 billion, for th e strongest civil rights bill in 100 years, and for an "all -out war on poverty." The President wants more area-development programs, work for jobless youth, and a National Service Corps, to work in this country as the Peace Corps does abroad. aiding the economically handicapped. The Federal government is going to put $1 billion on the line in a drive to help those afflicted by poverty. For the ten states from Alabama to Pennsylvania, this means direct Federal assistance to hard-hit areas. This "unconditional war"' on poverty was undoubtedly the reason behind Mrs. Johnson ·s trip to WilkesBarre and its environs. Governor Scranton Offers Word of Caution '"Let me raise one word of caution. The regional idea should ,not be used as a mask for vast and inefficient projects designed to enhance the power of a national · bureaucracy. The region should be identified with the State, which traditionally has been the object for regional loyalties in America." ey. I am proud and heartened with what I've seen, and thrilled to have seen th e new Science and Research Center, Thank You ." Then Mrs. Johnson, accompanied by Congressman Flood , Mrs. Mary Scranton, Mrs. Farley , and numerous newsmen , was taken on a tour of the new addition. During that time, the First Lady in an exclusive statement to the BEACON voiced a message to the students of Wilkes College. She said: "It is thrilling and heartening to be here. I am enjoying, to no end, seeing what the community can do in the handling of its problems." Speaks to Reporters From the time Mrs. Johnson left the new building until she entered her car on S. River St., two Beacon reporters walked along to converse with her. They first asked her what her reaction was to the building of this new sci ence center. She said, " It will be thrilling to see the jobs and type of people it turns out. Also, it means so much to this area in keeping the brains at home." Nation--wide Coverage For Mrs. L.B.J.; Forty P u b I i c a t i o n s Represented by Helen Dugan and Andrea Gallet (Channel 10) of Philadelphia, was also represented. Early Friday morning the press began the set up of its equipment for a busy weekend. The second floor of Stark Hall was the location of the wire-photo machine. All the photos sent over the machine went to New York first ; from there they were sent to news media throughout the United States. The photos were then sent to countries all over the world. NBC carried a special program narrated by Nancy Dickerson entitled "a Day in the Life of Ladybird." C 0 S also did a special program on Mrs. Johnson's visit, on Sunday at 10:30 p.m. The plane from Washington brought 57 people including Mrs. Johnson, reporters, and secret se rvice men. Whil e in the air, Mrs. Johnson greeted each person on the plane individually. A chartered plane from New York carried the team of NBC reporters in order to assure the return of the newsmen to New York with their stories by deadline time. Two bus loads of newsmen met Mrs. Johnson at the airoort. One of the buses carried the White House reporters and the other carried local reporters. The Associated Press was represen ted by three cameramen and two newsmen. In th eir estimation, they were sending photos to approximately 1800 newspapers.

Because of the res trictions of the Incentive Licensing Bill , the Radio Club known on th e air as K3NOM, has taken a definite stand against the proposals of th e American Radio Re- lay League . Wishtart expresses th e collective opinion of th e club members by stating that "amateur radio is a hobby : the American Radio Relay League is trying to make it strictly for th e elite!'· Harvey Wishtart, president of the club ex plained that this bill would rest;ict voice work on low " bands," or frequ encies. Th e bill also provides that ham operators would be subject to a re -examination and would have to qualify for an advanced class. In ad-- dition to the test being made much more strict and up -to-date, it would necessi ta te a trip to Philadelphia , • which is the nearest examination center.

The Beacon staff The million dollar Graduate and Research Center of the College was recently enhanced by the installation of an air liquifier. The procurement of this apparatus was made possible by a Morris Foundation grant of $10,000 which had been earmarked for thi s particular piece of equ ipment. Joseph Ritts , plant manager of American Cha in and C able Company, presented the C ollege with a check for the apparatus on behalf of the Foundation. The air liquifier will be used to make objects cold for studies in low temperature. The machine operates by drawing air from the atmosphere and liquifying it to minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It can transform the atmosphere into two gall ons o f liquid air per hour. The addition of the air liquifier to the Graduate and Research C enter is the latest of many advancements made by the College. �Friday, February 7, 196'4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 LETTERS TD EDITOR Editorial WHY DON'T THEY ONE SPORT EMPHASIZED BELIEVE ME? To the Editor: A recent Lettermen's Club meeting pointed out once again the added emphasis that is placed on one sport at Wilkes. The group which normally seems to receive the major allotment of the athletic appropriations - the best of equipment and the fringe benefits at the gym - began their push in the cafet eria and carried it to the meeting in Butler Hall. I enjoy w restling, but I also enjoy basketball, football, and soccer. Is it not possible that they too be pushed for a change? DISGRUNTLED After five months of dealing with our fellow students, the Beacon staff has come to a quite reassuring conclusion- Wilkes students will never be taken in by propoganda or high pressure salesmanship or any such evils that we understand are rampant in our age. We have none of that "gullible type" here. No, indeed, for, in putting out 14 issues of the Beacon, we have encountered everywhere a questioning attitude. Again and again, our bright*eyed, idealistic "This is your paper; we're open to all suggestions and contributions" has been met by cynical questioning looks of "Sure you are." ---- STUDENT HAS PROBLEM The only ray of light in this otherwise gloomy picture is the occasional instance when a hestitant student has come fur* tively up to our office clutching a neatly typed letter to the editor and mumbling awkwardly "Just dashed this off in my spare time. Thought you might be able to use it - if you have the room." As we desperately grab at his receding figure darting quick* ly off and welcome him and his article enthusiastically, we see the recognition dawn in his unbelieving face _, he really is welcome. But this happens seldom. And it's a good thing. "I don'!, care what your excuse is. If you're not in your seat, I'm marking We are thankful that the student body doesn't believe us you absent. when we tell them that we welcome columns, feature articles, reviews, suggestions; that we want them to "fight out" the burning issues on campus in our pages; that we want all areas of campus represented. THE BALLOT BOX For people who would believe absurdities like this might also believe that world peace is necessary for survival or some other such ridiculous thing. We salute the incredulity of our readers.

Brave New World? by Jeff Gallet Like the proverbial Pied Piper. current time Conservatives and Objectivists are leading a large part of our youth down the wrong path. The fallacy of the Conservative and Objectivist philosophy can be best summed up by looking at Ayn Rand 's For the New Intellectual. Miss Rand divides all people into three types: the producer, and two inferior types, the Man of Force and the Man of Feelings. The idea of removing feelings from our lives is a key factor in her philosophy. By removing feelings, she also may logically remove altruism and in its place substitute egoism. This egoism is particularly attractive to a college student who feels superior to th e world and is in a big hurry to reach the top . As Objectivism is the philosophical background, Conservatism is the political tool. The aims of the Conservatives, such as laissez-fairism, antiwelfarism, and general favoritism toward the business and moneyed classes, are the practical means to Miss Rand's possessive ends. The Objectivists and the Conservatives both believe that society should be ruled by the "superior" group in society - business. This type of philosophy appeals to businessmen for obvious reasons. But why has it suddenly acquired a large following among young people? The reason is simple; it allows a young person, anxious to shirk his duty to society, a philosophic and pragmatic way of doing so. .Objectivism - Conservatism is a simple philosophy, full of back and white alternatives and set rules. It requires little or no thought for the individual. Plato said that men must learn to adjust to society, even if the adjustment might sometimes hold the more talented people from reaching their zenith, for this is the price one must pay for civilization. Conversely, if one keeps people from reaching their potential heights, we keep others from reaching their potential depths and the society is the better for it. To say that welfare and a mixed economy are basically wrong is archaic. To assume that society has no duty to its less productive members is to hide from the economic and moral facts of our times. To say that society should have no control over its means of production is ridiculous. But the Piper pipes on and the masses blindly follow. Heard ■ ■ ■ from the Herd Xavier College, The Xavier News - The student body of Xavier College recently voted against a proposed address by Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett because of his opposition to racial integration. His position on segregation, the newspaper stated, " contradicts the Christian and American ideals and is, we feel, basically immoral. " Penn State University . The Daily "The sorority women's fall term academic average topped the fraternity and non-sorority women 's averages. The all-sorority average was 2.785, as compared with the allfraternity average of 2.382. The allUniversity women 's average was 2.656, and the non-sorority women's. 2.611." Collegian - Feb. 27 . 28, and 29. " Juniata College, The Juniatian . . . we have been currently trying to figure what Juniata students are reading for entertainment and thereby have some basis for decision on what to order. As it has turned out we have a fairly open fi eld of choice, since some science majors don't have time to read anything, most everyone else is reading next to nothing, and the handful of English majors on campus are either drowning their sorrows in Pooh, S. J. Perleman. and John Updike or furtively poring through NYU catalogues. The old 'pornographic' classics such as Lady Chatterly's Lover and Tropic of Cancer are still going strong among both depraved and deprived students, and many are currently jotting page references on th e back covers of Harris' My Life and Loves and Cleland's Dear Editor: Students living at home who drive to campus have a problem in common, namely, where to park. Arriving on campus at 6 A .M. presents no parking problem to the commuting student. Arrival at a reasonable hour makes it impossible. The attendant stands in front of the entrance of Parrish Hall and waves one away if he arrives at any time after 7:35 A.M .. forcing the rejected driver to continue his search for a parking space. The next stop is the "Sardine Can ," better known as Gies lot. Here the cars are parked haphazardly in the lot three and four deep. Trying to get a car out of this lot is like working a jig-saw puzzle. Parking in the lot endangers the car. For example, one, in entering or exiting, often has a tail pipe broken on the high curbs that surround the lot. Rental of additional parking space by the college might help alleviate the problem on campus. Another alternative might be for the administration to sell just as many stickers as there are parking spaces. Of course, this leaves a great many students' without a place to put their cars. I am sure that the administration if it would give some thought to the problem - would be able to reach some firm conclusion on the subject. A REJECTED COMMUTER KIWANIS APPRECIATION D ear Sir: Inasmuch as Wilkes College aided the Kiwanis Club of Wilkes-Barre to get started in this wheelchair project, we thought you might be interested to know that we spent $14,642.00 during the year 1963. The profit we made on the play "The Music Man" is, of course, part of this expenditure. We deeply appreciate the cooperation we always receive from the student body at Wilkes, and to you and the faculty we owe a deep debt of gratitude. Very truly yours, Warren E. Myers, Presiden t Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Wheel Chair Club, Inc. in the latter of which many are disappointed to find a liberal sprinkling of literary value. Perhaps a more healthy attitude can be seen by the fact that a delightfully clinical sextext en titled Modern Sex Technique is outselling Golding on at least one major campus, and another, The Marriage Act, (don't worry, it's safe published by Dell) is even making a few sparse appearances on our own.

Committees for the affair, which is scheduled to be held at the gym on Friday, February 14:, are presently formulating the final arrangements. This year the Valentine Semi-Formal will have a Parisian motif. The centerpiece will consist of the Eiffel Tower in the midst of a blue Paris sky. The gym will be transformed into the Cafe d'A.mour. Herbie Green and his orchestra will provide the music for an evening of dancing and merriment. Town and Gown Series To Feature Sonatas by Pauline Bostjancic For his second performance in the Town and Gown Series of 1963-64, Mr. Martin Friedmann will join forces with Mr. Kurt Saffir to present a Sonata Recital. The program will begin at 3:30 p.m . on Sunday _ February 9, in the College gymnasium. Mr. Friedmann, violinist, is a mem ber of the Wilkes College Music Faculty and Mr. Saffir, pianist, is associated w ith the City Center Opera Company of New York City. But this is not the first time that the two musicians will combine their talents. They gave a joint recital here in 1961 and have performed often since their student days at Juilliard School of Music in New York. Included in the program will be the Sonata No. 3 by J.S . Bach, Sonata No. 8 in G Major by Beethoven and the Brahms Sonata No. 3 in D Minor. The public is invited to attend the recital free of charge. The final program in the Town and Gown series will be held on Sunday, March 22, and will feature Mr. Richard Chapline, baritone. At intermission a Valentine Queen will be selected to reign over the remainder of the evening's activities. Any member of TOR is eligible to enter her name as a contestant. Anyone who would like to have a remembrance of the affair can have pictures taken at the gym. The background will be that of a Parisian cafe, complete with wine bottle, candle, and romantic atmosphere. Rachel Phillips, vice-president of TOR, is General Chairman of the dance. Among the other committees are the following: tickets, Jane Sokola; programs, Grace Adams; ceiling, Claire Draper and Charlotte Levanoskie; tables, Lois Kutish and Paula Mesaris; backdrop, Nancy Czubek; wall decorations, Roberta Skurk.is; invitations, Sally Schoffstall and Judy Valunas; refreshments, Joanne Dragonchuk and Julie Palega; favors Suzanne Bellone; gifts, Andrea Petrasek; arrangements . Sharon Sislian and Carol Saidman ; centerpiece, Fran Co race and Anne Masley; publicity , Andrea Petrasek and Marianne Evancho; intermission, Rosemary Hagel, TOR president. Tickets, which will soon be on sale, are $3.00 per couple. Contrary to several current rumors, everyone is invited, not just TOR members and their dates. Named Miss December Although there are generally many persons on college campuses interested in the Peace Corps, they have been handicapped in the past by the fact that placement tests were given at inconvenient times, and often at locations which presented a transportation problem. This month marks the first time since the inception of the Peace Corps that tests will be given on individual college campuses throughout the country. The test on our campus will be given on Saturday, February 22, in Stark Hall 109. beginning at 9 a .m. Before anyone becomes discouraged at the thought of a test , a few words of explanation would be in order at this time. The tests which will be given are placement tests and are noncompetitive. The basic test consists of two parts; General Aptitude, and Modern Language Aptitude, with the entire test lasting only one hour. If an applicant so desires, he may take an optional test in either Spanish or French, which is also one hour in length. Incidentally_ even if you are not currently interested in joining the Peace Corps, you may take the test without placing yourself under any obligation. In the event that you should need the results of this test in the future , a record will be maintained for you for this purpose. At the present time, four alumni from the College are serving in the Peace Corps, and three currently enrolled students have been accepted for Peace Corps work following graduation.

The party is free . Margie Harris Covers Capital Subiect Last Tuesday at 8:00 p.m., Chapman Hall was the scene of Margi Harris ' talk on the problem of " home rule" in Washington. In addressing the Forum Miss Harris stated that the probleiii was the lack of home rule in the nation's capital. According to the Constitution, Congress has exclusive power over all territories. Of course, the writers of the Constitution never knew that the nation's capital itself might someday be a territory . As a result, Washington, D. C. has no representation at all. However, in 1871 . Washington did have a mayor for a short time. He was handicapped by a $4 million debt and an order to closely follow the budget allocated by the federal government. In a short time , the debt had risen to $20 million dollars and home rul e was removed. Gives Reasons Miss Harris stated that two of the major rea sons for this situation were, first , that the city of Washington cannot tax the federal government as other cities can do with their industries, and , second . the federal government owns the land on which the citizens pay taxes. Miss Harris further mentioned that certain groups in Washington have a fear of home rule because of the rising Negro population. Settlement of the civil rights dispute is vital to the city . Many people in the past have had the tendency to regard Washing ton as a " temporary city," since the population chang es every six years. However, there are now many permanent residents in Washington who are in no way connected with the federal ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• government in their occupations. Denied Rights Miss Harris explained that residents of Washing ton are denied many of th e rights which other citizens enjoy. They are taxed quite heavily without representation; they were not, until 1961 , able to vote in a presidential election; they cannot elect representatives to protect their rights as citizens. They do have three commissioners who are little more than puppets who must do what Congress says. Any commissioner who does anything on his own is applying false power which would be nullified if it were ever challenged. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• NO CARDS - NO PRESENTS Although prohibition will reign in this "speakeasy ," refreshments will be served .

With three meets remaining , the worst that could happen is a .500 year. and that seems highly unlikely. After dropping a meet to undefeated E. Stroudsburg State College, Wilkes brought its log to 4- 1 by soundly defeating Moravian College last weekend. ,, · The Greyhounds started in the hole when they were forced to give up two forfeits in the 123 and 147 pound brackets. After Ned McGinley was declared the winner in the 123 pound division, Brooke Yeager, who was runner-up in the "" Rose Bowl of Wrestling," shutout Dave Wilson of Moravian 11-0. The Yeager-Wilson match was only one of two contests to go the full nine minutes. In the 137 pound class, Tim Adams was involved in the most exciting match of the evening for the Wilkes fans . Trailing through most of the match Adams reversed Tom D ickerson to make the score 10-5 and then clamped Dickerson with a cross- body ride to gain a fall with only 12 seconds remaining. Bob Weston, wrestling up a weight at 157, followed Adams" lead and pinned his heavier opponent in 6:19. In the 167 -pounds class, Dave Hall gave up a first period takedown and then added five more points to the Wilkes score by gaining a fall over Steve Rayda . Moravian's only victory came in the I 77-pound bracket. John Gardner moved up to that weight and was on his way to a win when his heavier opponent managed to work out of a cross-body ride and subdue the Colonel captain. Bill Tinney ·then proceeded to decision Bill Henderson 6-2, which brought the final total to 31 - 5. Adams triggered an explosion of leg rides which highlighted the evening's wrestling. Wilkes takes on Millersville tomorrow night at 8 in the second meet of a three-week home stand for the Colonels. It is hoped that the grappiers will not be looking over Millersville to the Lycoming meet. Lycoming figures to be another threat to the Colonels' winning ideas. The wrestlers finish away with Gettysburg on February 22 . Results o f Moravian match: Harry Heesch Harry began his swimming career at Lewistown-Porter High School near Niagara Falls, New York by serving four years on the varsity swim team. In compe tition with swimmers from his area, he won first place in the 400 yd. freestyle event. Among other honors he attained in high school was that of president of his junior class. A Liberal Arts major and a resident of Miner Hall, he also enjoys tennis and holds a badge in Senior Life Saving . Studies are important to Harry _ but he still manages to find time for practice at the YMCA pool. His specialties on th e team are centered around the 200-yd. and 500-yd. freestyles .

The idea of such a show is an entirely new concept for the . art department, and its advantages ·are staggering. These three seniors, ai!d those to follow, ordinarily would have to display their work of the last four years, their required exhibits, at the regular Art Fair at Conyngham Annex. This proposes two disadvantages for the senior art major: first, Conyngham Annex is simply too small for such a large exhibit. The second disadvantage , which is a by-product of the first, comes to light when the Seniors' meticulously prepared works are hung as mobiles, propped against windows, or perhaps, were they lucky , hung on an important " in-the-way" door at the Annex. The new idea of separate, three man shows takes the Seniors' exhibit from Conyngham Annex to a newly renovated building behind W eckesser Hall. With more space, the artists are able to hang their work at advantageous points which will complement rather than detract from it. The public will now be able to examine more carefully than before the products of four years' concentration and study. The aspiring artist who feverishly prepares for this most important exhibit in four years is assured none of his work will be overlooked and all of it will be appreciated.

Seniors Excel On Low Boards; On Hansen School Leader With 757 by John Lore Results of the Law School Admissions Test, taken by ten Wilkes College seniors in November, 1963, show that the group did exceptionally well and had an overall average of 552, according to Dr. Hugo Mailey, head of the Political Science Department and Law School Advisor. James Hansen's score of 757 was the highest mark attained by a Wilkes student this year, placing him among the top one-half percent of all students taking the test in 1963. An indication of how high the overall average is can be obtained from the following statistics. The national mean for 122,342 students who took the Law Boards between 1954 and 1962 was 484. During the same period of time, the average of the Wilkes students who took the Boards was 469. These facts illustrate that this year's group did considerably better than the College 's eight-year average. The seniors who took the Admissions Test are: Richard Burns, Walter Dexter, Alan Doner, Jeff Gallet, Malcolm Gropper, and James Hansen. Others are Leonard Koerner, Alan Krieger, Michael Landesman , and Jeff Raschal. According to Rachel Phillips, G eneral Chairman of the affair , the Parisian setting will contribute to the gala, romantic atmosphere of the soiree. The D 'Amo!Jt will have a replica of the E iffel Tower depicted against a sky of shaded blue for the background . Assimilated clouds will enhance the mag ical effect of a night in Paris. The decor of the Cafe D 'Amour will include tables with red and white checked table cloths, wine bottles, and candles. On the walls will be favors with the names of the couples, which can be purchased for a mere 25,;.. Given to each couple, with the compliments of TDR of course, will be miniature fraternity paddles six inches in length as a remembrance of the Valentine semi-formal. The head table for the guests of honor will have large wine bottles and a floral centerpiece designed by Anne Maisley . If the couple would like to have a pictorial souvenir of the Cafe, Bill Williams and Nick W artella will be on hand to accommodate them. The highlight of the evening's activities will be the coronation of the Valentine Queen. Any TDR member is qualified to submit her name for selection. The Queen and her date will receive gifts. She will also be presented with a bouquet of roses. Tickets are $3 . For refreshments punch , potato chips, and pretzels will be served. Sharon Sislian, who is in charge of obtaining the chaperones for tonight's affair, has stated that Miss Millie Gittens and Dean Ahlborn have graciously consented to perform the service.

Perhaps the most effective ones don't receive front page attention. One such political group is the National Student Association which because of its continual leftish leanings is being abandoned by many schools of national prominence. ETSU is not a member of NSA but holds membership in the Southern University Student Government A ssociation. Although not a member, it may be well for State students to know some of the radical proposals this organization has made. These resolutions include: 1. · Defense of Japanese student rioting against former President Eisenhower. ' 2. Praise for Fidel Castro's educational "reforms" - and earlier condemnation of the Batista Government for suppression of "academic freedom ." 3. Recommendations that the House Un-American Activities Committee be abolished. 4. Opposition to loyalty oaths for students receiving fed eral loans. 5. Criticism of U . S . and such anti-Communist allies as Spain and Portugal. 6. Calls for repeal of the McCarran-Walter Act, which regulates Red activities in the U . S . 7. Protests against the firing of Communist teachers. 8. Denunciation of U. S . measures to achieve nuclear superiority. 9. Condemnation of the involvement of the U . S. government in the Cuban refugee invasion of April, 1961. 10. Condemnation of the resumption of nuclear testing ( 1962, prior to the test ban treaty) . Virginia Military Institute which recently dropped from the rolls of NSA reported in the school paper that NSA .... . desires the slow move to the socialistic status for the United States, complete political recognitfon of Cuba, admission of Red China to the UN , and other equ~lly radical measures . .. " This is the group which supposedly represents the students of America. Recently in regard to the number of schools renouncing NSA, the group changed the wording of its constitution to " a" instead of "the" national student organization. These thoughts are intended to inform, not to create meaningless controversy on a campus relatively free from political turmoil. Students are being used for ulterior motives in a great many areas and many former NSA schools are aware of this . STOMP 1 D ear Editor: It seems to me that Jeff Gallet is a man with a one-track mind. Week after week he criticizes the conservative philosophy and Senator Barry Goldwater. H e is entitled to his opinion, but apparently he seems only to understand what he wants to understand. !wonder if Mr. Gallet even knows what he is talking about which seems very unlikely. f;:lis articles ( "'The Risk of Barry Gdldwater"' and " Brave N ew World"' ) have been an insult to the ideals and values which millions of Americans cherish. H e so explicitly claims it requires no thought for the individual to become a conservative. It requires more thought than he thinks. To become a conservative requires a person to examine his conscience and decide whether to co-exist with Communism or become violently opposed to it. We cannot let the Communist world impair our welfare by slowly conforming small nations all over the globe. This cannot be said for liberals It's so cold in our dormitory that they put anti-freeze in all the showers. who are unwilling to face the fact that the sole aim of Communism is to enslave the world. We must not wait until it is too late; we must stop this menace before it spreads more. This is the main point of the conservatives.

LET'S DO IT DEMOC:RATIC:ALLY Massachusetts has its Kennedys, Texas has its Johnsons, and N ew York has its Rockerfellers; however, only Arizona has Barry Goldwater. Senator Barry Goldwater is now the hottest contender for the G .O .P . presidential nomination, and we Goldwater people aim to get our man in the White House. We believe in Mr. Goldwater because we feel, as he does , that great changes are needed in our government if America is to survive as a free nation. Foreign Policy Critized Vastly criticized is our present foreign policy regarding the U .S.S .R . Why is it that the Soviet Union always seems to call the plays while the United States struggles with the problem of peaceful co-existence? Senator Goldwater proposes wi thdrawal of recognition of the Soviet Union as a solution. However, it must be understood that withdrawal of recognition does not mean that we refuse to parley with the enemy - it does not mean that we refuse to negotiate with them, to discuss matters of mutual concern by exchanging communications directly or through an intermediary. Doesn 't it stand to reason not to maintain diplomatic relations with an imperial world power that has the expressed determination to "'bury us?" We do not recognize Red China or R ed Cuba ; why should we recognize Russia? Peace - Preserving Agency The belief that the United Nations is an agent devoted to preserving the peace is a little hazy when we consider the large Communist membership which prohibits that. Mr. Goldwater sees the U .N . as a peace-making agency only "'after its membership is composed of nations genuinely interested in mutual respect and toleration "' - and we hardly think Rus~ia is one of th ese nations. We cannot see lasting peace until v ictory over Communism is achieved. Let us look at Senator Goldwater·s views on civil rights. Mr. Goldwater believes in integration, but as a states rights advocate he is not prepared to impose his judgment on the states by telling them what methods they should employ in striving toward that goal. This is a power of which a state should not be deprived. Fed. Govt. In Education Nowhere in the Constitution is there a clause designating th e field of education to the Federal Government. This is an exclusive right of the state. How then does our government justify the use of federal troops present in Southern states w hen integration is attempted in school? We believe with Senator Goldwater that this is a matter which should be settled by the states concerned, not by interference of the F ederal Government. Education is constitutionally an exclusive sta tes right that needs to be reaffirmed for many. Excl uding violence, we believe a s tate's effort to solve its internal struggle with civil rights ought to be supported rather than interfered with by the Federal Government; that is, unless the state so requests federal assistance. (Continued on Page J) �Friday, February 14, 1964 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT • Two Interpretations p O S S I b I e Fo,r Bergman's "Wild Strawberries" by Mrs. Anne V . Kish Wild Strawberries, the Manuscript's film presentation on February 7, was another artistic achievement of the Swedish director, Ingmar Bergman, whose past efforts have been much touted but seldom understood. However, anyone attending this motion picture with the expectation of being hopelessly confused must ha ve been disappointed , for there is nothing obscure in either the action or the theme. To be sure there are the usual Bergman touches in the use of symbolism, in the Kafka-like dream sequences, and in the startlingly effective chiaroscuro photography, but these enhance rather than interfere with the action; thus the theme emerges quite clearly. The s tory is simple. It concerns the seventy-eight year old Doctor Borg, who, accompanied by his daughterin-law, is traveling to a distant university where he is to receive an honorary degree for his contribu tions to the study of medicine. Through: a combination of present experiences and dreams of the past, he comes to realize that his life has been ego-centered -and that however he might have benefited mankind , he was, in his god-like detachment and judgment, cruel to tHose who meant the most to him. There is none of the half-real half-dream atmosphere so often used in modern film s. We are not only always aware when the doctor is dreaming and when he is awake, but he even interprets his dreams for us . In the superbly filmed death dream, he sees his own featurel ess image collapse and disintegrate as its blood pours into the street; then his corpse tries to drag him into its coffin. Awake, he sees himself as lonely , empty, dead though alive. Doesn't Sacrifice Present The dream spurs his reminiscences during the journey, and memories combine with present incidents to form more dreams. It is in these dream sequences that Bergman's masterful direc ting is especially evident as he captures the peculiar reality of dreams, complete with symbols, conversa tions, and experiences both pleasant and painful. But even in the dreams we are kept aware of the presen t, for we see the doctor always old , witnessing a past in which he has played a most detached role , failing as a lover, a husband, · a father , and finally even as a doctor .

V11le1tti1te J 't)11~ /J-ttn tAe lle11ct1t ~t11// Other Interpretation Possible There is, of course, the possibility of an allegorical interpretation, but from this point of view the most reasonabl e course to follow is one which uses the characters to symbolize generations. In this way , the old doctor represents th e older generation which, so concerned with work and scientific accomplishment, has neglected to develop the human qualities of its children ( th e estranged couple and the hate-fill ed couple) , who emerge as robots or animals, sans hope, sans faith, sans love. The present generation, upon whom the future of any nation depends, is significantly leav ing the country. Reasonable as this interpreta tion may seem, the theme which concerns the human heart seems much more important when it is applied to a human being rather than to the state. OUR BOY BARRY (Continued from Meet Gerald Bou'rland Page 31 Goldwater's Stand Senator Goldwater's stand on th e civil rights issue will undoubtedly throw support behind him. But this is not the Senator's main object. His vi ews are unquestionably correct and constitutionally backed. How ever, gaining Southern support certainly won't injure chances of winning the Republican nomination. The United States is basically a conservative country . Thus there is a good possibility of a conservative victory within the ranks of the G .O .P. The radicals and liberals have had their chance with littl e success. It is tim e w e return to conservative pri nciples if we wish to preserve in dividual li berty and overcome any obstacle which attempts to stunt th e growth of individual freedom. •••••••••••••••••••••••• Chuck Robbins Sporting Goods Ready to Serve You Street ancial help; and must possess a D emocratic family background.

He has forgotten that the first law of a doctor is "to ask forgiveness," and he pronounces as dead a woman who is really alive. After this selfrealization, there is an optimistic note as he determines to become a more human human being and moves into th e tranquillity of old age. In the world of reality there are the passengers whom the doctor has picked up - a middle-aged couple whose vituperous dialogue might have been the model for that in Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and three wild but lovable teenage rs whose boldness and lack of inhibition is both shocking and refreshing. These characters later appear in his dreams , which reveal in his memory of a child hood sweetheart picking wild strawberries, his fai lu re as a lover. He refu sed to partake of life and so lost her. H e fails as a husband , for he remains above his more humanly in volved w ife - as she put it, "like God ," understanding but aloof. Between the dreams his daughter-in-law accuses him o f responsibility for the estrange ment between her and her h usband, a cold, unfeelin g materialist, Wild Strawberries, then , is no t conthus the doctor's failure as a father.

Last Saturday , 19-9 Thriller As Wilkes Takes Two In A Row Tomorrow night, the wrestlers of coach John Reese take on the Lycoming Warriors in one of the toughest teams Wilkes has faced all season. Last Saturday, the Colonels brought their season log to 5-1 by downing Millersville 19-9. In winning, the Wilkes team avenged last season's 1413 upset by the Marauders. The victory was the first in two years over Millersville as the 1962 encounter ended in a 14-14 deadlock. Wilkes had to fight with the stubborn Marauders for the victory , however, as first two bouts to take the lead 9-6 on 3 decisions. Wilkes rallied in the final 3 matches, however, to take the meet. Wilkes' only loss came a t the hands of Eas t Stroudsburg, and Lycoming appears to be another powerful foe. Wilkes will have to be on its toes with John Gardner on the ineligible list.

A mild surprise was issued by the men from Butler as they turned the tables on last yea r's dorm champions, Barre Hall. Butler played come-from-behind basketba ll to tie the score at the end of regulation play. In the three mi nute overtime period Barre's Jim Dunn took cha rge, and his team spurted to a four point bul ge, bu t T ravis-Bey of Bu tler, playing the role o f eq ualizer, sparked an offensive fl urry, and Butler again tied the game with one minute left to play . In the closing seconds Kruczek rimmed one of his patented one- handers to give the decision to Bu tler. In their other contest last week Bu tler rode roug hshod over Miner 62-47 as Kruczek hi t this time for 23. Russo and Katz sparkled for the losers. Gore Hall con tinued their winn ing ways by squeezing past Warner 545 1, a nd running wild over Ashley 5630. Gibbs and G ubanich traded the scoring duties to pace Gore 's a ttacks. by Ivor Smith Wrestling is the sport D ave H all excels in, and for this reason the Beacon selects him as " A thlete o f the Week ." D ave is a fr eshman from West Pittston, and a prod uct of Wyoming Seminary. H e is a liberal arts ma jor and is slightly undecided about his future plans. The wrestling team is having a winning season and D ave has been a de fin ite asset to the squad . H e has wrestled in all the mee ts, posting four wins, three by p ins, one tie, and a sole loss. D ave can a lso handle himself significantly in higher weight classes than his own. His regular weight class is 157-pounds, but he has gained v ictories in the 167-pound a nd 177-pound cl asses. In a meet against Moravian, he wrestled and defeated a heavier adversar y. D ave attended Wyoming S eminary where he earned letters in wrestling and baseball . In the Lehigh Valley Wrestling Tourney he was third in the 147-po und class. H un ting, trapping , and fishing are some of his ou tside interests. W hen baseball season comes, D ave expects to try out for the team. Early predictions o f the wrestling team 's possibil ities were gloomy, bu t freshmen like D ave Hall and th e rest o f the team have shown grea t promise for coach John Reese . T he Beacon sports staff feels D ave H a ll is an all around athlete, deserving of this acclaim for his effort on the wrestling team, and extends their cong ra tulations to him. Gore Hall now has an unblemished record in four games and shares the top spot in the dorm league with Butler Hall.

A few weeks ago, a great furor was raised over the hiring of an engineer for the county mapping department. There was no question of his ability to do the job. The only objection was that the engineer was not a resident of Luzerne County. We feel that a man's ability, rather than his residence, should be the main qualification for employment. That public officials are appointed on criteria other than their qualifications is nothing new , either to Luzerne County or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Many public employees are chosen on the basis of their connections, political service, residence, or other similar factors . This type of arrangement is unsatisfactory, because it does not have as its primary objective getting the most qualified people to work for the government. Uryder our spoils system, we often get public officials who are not qualified for the jobs they hold. This is due to the poor method of appointment and the large turnover of employees. Each time there is a change of parties there is a wholesale change of personnel. This discourages many qualified people from going into public service and leaves the field open to political hacks. Another objection to this is that jobs are often filled by political leaders on the basis of party loyalty rather than ability. The alternative to the spoils system is the civil service or merit system. This system is used by the federal government and more than half of the state governments. Under this type of program, employees are chosen on the basis of their ability rather than their connections. Competitive examinations take the place of political service as the main qualification for employment. The mechanics of this type of program are first explained in Article V , section 6 of the New York State Constitution: " Appointments and promotions in the civil s·e rvice of the state and all of the civil divisions thereof. including cities and villages, shall be made according to merit and fitness to be ascertained, as far as practicable, by examination, which as far as practicable, shall be competitive . . . " A civil service system leads to a ca~~er service of professional employees. These people are traiped for and experienced in the job that they hold. . A civil service system gives all citizens an equal opportunity to work for the government regardless of race, creed, religion, or political affiliations. A civil service system has been proven to be cheaper, more efficient, and less corrupt than a spoils system. The victorious candidates for both the statehouse and the courthouse have pledged to run the government in a businesslike manner. Certainly no business can operate on the spoils system. Now is the time for them to make good on their promises. Pennsylvania needs a comprehensive civil service system; Luzerne County needs a comprehensive civil service system, and they need it now. J.H.G . 1t/A11t Friday, February 21, 1964 • GALLET REPLIES Last week on this page we were privileged to print a column by Miss Rita Soboski of College Misericordia. Whil e I disagree with much of what she said, I respect her views as a legitimate political philosophy legitimately presented. Not so with a recent letter to the editor from a so-called conservative who does not have the courage of his convictions to sign hi s name. Mr. A. Conserva tive 's letter reads like a tex tbook example of logical fallacies. He has a total of eight fallacies in three paragraphs (argumentum ad hominem, misuse of emotional words, pandwagon, black and white, slanting, oversimplification, lifting out of context , and poisoning the wells). And just to set the record straight Mr. Conservative said, "It seems to me that Jeff Gallet is a man with a onetrack mind. Week after week he criticizes the conservative philosophy and Senator Barry Goldwater." The fact is that out of eleven columns and reviews which I have written for the Beacon, only two concerned Senator Goldwater or conservatism. Moreover, these columns were separated by a span of ten weeks (Nov. 22 and Feb . 7). Mr. Cons~rvative uses every trick in the book to avoid discussing the real issues. First he attacks me instead of the opinions I expressed. Then he tries an emotional approach. He tells us that the ideals of millions of Americans have been insulted, but at no time does he explain exactly which ideals have been insulted. Instead of explaining issues, he gives the trite argument that liberals and all others who oppose his ideas ( whatever they may be) are Communists, Communist sympathizers, or are completely ignorant of world affairs. To suggest that either President Johnson , Secretary Rusk, or Ambassador Stevenson is guilty of any of these accusations is ludicrous. I suggest that Mr. Conservative sit down and write another letter. This time I propose that he forget the personal attacks, the emotionalism, and the fallacious logic and write on the issues.

TODD GIBBS JU DY VALUNAS Joe, I'd like you to meet Bingo our new foreign exchange student from England ... he's' a music major with a minor in money and banking. D efection today has become a variety of things - a method of solving personal problems, an alternative to suicide, a cure for neurosis, a relief from emptiness, and perhaps intermingled with all of these a basic idealogical decision. The range of defectors stretches the entire gamut from government officials, high-ranking intelligence agents and famous scientists, to mental patients, tourists , simple folk , and ballet dancers. We, in the West, maintain a peculiar, but natural ambivalence in our attitude toward defectors. We describe Russians and East Germans defecting to the West as heroes, yet on the other hand , Americans and West Ger- mans who fl ee to the East are traitors. It is not easy to unders tand why someone would want to leave a free society and place himself under the strictures of a totalitarian regime. We feel the person must be unbalanced , so to speak, or rather desperately beset by overwhelming personal problems to cause his defection. On the other hand , we consider it as quite normal that any Russian would aspire to escape from his country and come to the United States where he may live in fre edom. da only slightly less than the average American believes the journalists that Hitlerism and Communism are one and the same." The Western policy, especially that of the United States, toward defectors is fraught with contradictions. In Washington , defection from East to West is officially praised as an escape to freedom; an excellen t solution for the enslaved peoples of the Soviet Union and her satellite countries. But American officials abroad , especially in West Germany, who have gained first-hand knowledge of Tough Choice the defector problem, hold the oppoDefec tion is a tough choice to make. site view.

This disturbing monster, symbolizing in a weak analogy the va·s t body of state-required education "·courses, is quickly des troying , in many instances, the dusky atmosphere that ~nee developed the satisfying and diligent pursuit of the liberal arts and the physical sciences. It is as greedy as dragons usually are and is sidlin g its bulk into the curriculum of the already frantic undergraduate overladen with the particular requirements of his own fi eld of study. The student's academic mili eu is shattered as this gluttenous fi end grows fatt er every year by gobbling up valuable , tim e that should be spent on courses of content. On campuses where more than half the student body intends to be either elementary or secondary teachers, th e students, rather tha n devoting their time to becoming scholars, must become busy little credit seekers. They must manipulate their schedules with quickly a<;quired agility to fit in th e various and sundry education requirements from H ealth and Safety to that final ignominy ( especially for math or science majors) the Teaching of Reading. Students ha ve no choice but to offer their sometiif.ies staggering semester loads in sacrjfice to that unappeasable pest guard ing the sacred treasure of certification. ,,., L' Ah , but w hile the little magicians, reputedly masters of the methodologies, ideologies, and psychologies of education, huddl e in their citadels hidden away in the stat e capitals slapping their dictums onto th e overgrowing list of requirements , what is happening to the caliber of teachers being produced? Education is an art. It is the accumulation of practical ski lls designed to aid the teacher in molding individuals - students rather than mere pupils. How can the appreciation of lea rning and th e development of personality be combined in th e child if the teacher has been saddled with educational theory , th eory , and more theory? State requirements such as American History broaden one's eve r incomplete background and are thus necessary , but w hat purpose is served by dis tracting the undergraduate with th e trivia required to teach teachers how to teach? In the training o f qualified personnel needed to staff the Am erican school, it is necessary to equip the prospec tive teacher with a thorough and well grounded mastery of the subj ect matter she will be responsible for teaching. Whether in elementary or secondary, the student seriously preparing himself to be a teacher of tomorrow 's youth should have th e opportunity to become a well rounded appreciator of the wonders of the printed word in order to transmute this awareness to his future classes. Whether th e fi eld be Hi story, English, Biology, or Hom e Economics, requirements should demand that teachers have fact s and figures at their fing ertips . . . rather than being concerned w ith th e accumulation of education credits. It w ould be folly to deny completely th e need of acquaintance with educational methods . But could this not be sa ti sfi ed by one dilig ent methods course to encompass theory and by student teaching to develop the practical skills needed ?

Hi gals! There's a career in retail advertis ing for you . . . IF you 'ge t a long with' people . . . IF you have imagination and the ability to temper it with com mon sense . . . IF you a re fl ex ible and en joy a challeng e ... IF you know that advertising and glamour a re not synonymous ... And, assuming of course, that you have a fl a ir for words and a wellrounded education. The retailer 's most important ad ve rtising medium is the newspaper. Then why do we list the above requi sites rather than technical ones such as layout and copy , knowledge o f type fac es, use of illustrations and so on? Because the technical aspects are easy to lea rn . You must have, or have the desire to acquire these other requisi tes. First things first . . . getting along with people! You will work with all personality types and temperam ents ... from artists to printers, to buy ers, merchandisers, to the Presid ent or Gen eral M a nag er. Each one thinks himself an advertising spec ialist. So, keep an open mind , be truly interested in all their ideas. Whether you think so or not, you' ll learn something from each on e. Now season thi s interest liberally wi th tact , tolerance, and patience, and you're well on you r way to a successful career. Imagination Important Imagination is important only if it's tempered with good old -fashioned common sense . Never allow yourself to be carried 'far out' on wings of fancy . . . even though it makes beautiful sounding copy. Y ou must know when to ask yourself .. . "if I read this ad in tomorrow's paper, would it make me want to buy thi s item?" . . . then give your-self a n hon est a nswer and take it from there. Yo u mus t be fle xible enough to change your thinking or ad approach on short noti ce. A store's job is to compete for the consumer dollar. You are the salesman w ho entices the peopl e with th ese consumer dollars into your store. Your sales strategy has to change with th e tim es and th e business climate. Your fl exib ility in appealing to all ages and types is a necessity. You must get just as exci ted about wri ting an ad for a powe r mower as you do over the latest Paris fashion. A s you can see , retail ad vert isin g presents a constant chall enge .. . the challenge of writing ads th a t sell merc handise . . . the challenge of writing a ds that fill your store with people eage r to buy items that will make th ei r lives happi er ones. Gratifying Work Ad vertising has been surrounded with an aura of glamour in several recent novels. Don 't let this misconception lu re you into retail advertising . It isn't glamourous. It's just plain down to earth work. Gratifying work , yes! And , we think, fun-work! But still , tim e- consuming work , no job for a clock watcher!

The research associate of Dr. Hugo V . participants use one of the six lines Mailey of the Political Science De- of the JCC Creed as a basis for their speeches. There were seven contestants in this year 's contest. by Charlotte W etzel Mr. Tuhy selected the following line as the theme of his oratorical presentation: W e believe the government should be of laws rather than of men. He continued to say, "Even though we disagree with the law, we cannot take it into our own hands." Furthermore, he cited the events which occurred in Dallas on November 22, the assassination of President Kennedy , and on November 24, the slaying of Lee Harvey Oswald, to illustrate the effects of the action when, "one man assumes the position of judge, jury, and executioner." He therefore came to the conclusion that if conditions need to be changed, we should proceed through legal methods. Mr. Tuhy currently holds the position of executive vice-president of the Wilkes-Barre Jaycees. Besides serving on num erous committees, he held such offices as secretary, external vice-president , and internal vicepresident. Last year he served as state Vice-President. Mr. Philip T uhy Seen Through A Cloud Of Smoke by John B. Hall How's Your T horn? Constantly appearing in the vocabulary of ordinarily sane, normal individua ls are certain \\Yords whose etymolog ical origins defy examination. They come from nowhere and return there when their dubious usefuln ess has run its course. I say "dubious usefulness" since their introduction into an ordinary conversation usually indicates a loss of memory on the part of the speaker. Probably the best known of these linguistic corruptions is " furn ," spelled with a " u." It can be used in an idiomatic (and idiotic ) expression, "How's your furn ?" , meaning "How are you?" P eople have also been known to for get their furns , to have a meeting with th eir furns , to have to study their furns for an exam the next day , and to generally be at a loss without their trusty furns somewhere close by . Furn , like life, signifies nothing. When one is not using his furn , it reposes in a " furndoc ." Other abominations of the English language, such as "kreel," "clyde" (or "clyve"), "veeblefetzer," and "snarfl e" achi eve th e same nerve-grating effec t. Not since the advent of "Jab berwocky " has the language been so rife with syllabic freaks . At last, however, a word (a term I use loosely) has come into vogue that I can, with some reasonable attempt at accuracy, trace to its source. The word is "thorn ." In Old English phonetics, there is a Runic symbol for the voiced and unvoiced " th " sound. This symbol, called th e " thorn, " resembles a "p," has a dec ided starboard list, and possesses a kickstand. With such an idiot symbol, this term could very easily have come to represent such an id iot concept as the " furn-kreel" school of terminology. Regardless of its origin, it is at least a recognized English word. Th ere ought to be a de finit e movement started to keep this word in our vocabulary. Students, unite!

The Warriors sent an extremely strong and fast team to the mats in securing the 17-5 victory. However, the Wilkes team has been rebuilding in an attempt to regain MAC supremecy, after they were dethroned by Lycoming two years ago. Evidence of the growing strength of th e young C olonel sq uad is found in th e fact that although Wilkes has been going with three freshmen on the varsity this season, th ey stand a good chance of bettering last season' s log. The newcomers have gained valuabl e experience this year and com parison shows th a t the ve teran members are also gai ning strength. Tim Adams gave MAC runner-up Larry Knobel a run for his money, losing 8-7 on riding time. Last year Knobel soundl y whipped Adams 11 -2, and it was obvious that Tim was out for revenge. - - Among th e new additions to the Colonel squad is fr eshman Dave Hall. H a ll has w restled in all the meets, posting four w ins, three by pins, one ti e, and two losses. He has shown his abi lity to handle him self sign ificantly in high er weight classes sin ce on num erous occasions he ha s had to wrestle in classes above his normal weight. Usually holding down th e 157 -pou nd bracket, Hall has a lso gained vic tori es in the 167-pound and 177-pound class. H a ll's efforts have played an important role in th e somewhat victorious season w hi ch the Colonels have been ·engaged in , as can be seen in his b'eing awa rded the " Athlete of the Week" award in last week's Beacon.

Only the top four teams in the league are eli gible to play in the post-season tourn ey. Last Saturday, the Barons saw their hopes sink as they dropped a 112- 108 decision to the cellar-dwelling Wilmington Blue Bombers. Th e Bombers have proven to be a nemesis for the Barons as th ey have beaten the D elaware cagers only once this season.

The team's captain, Jack Barnes, has been chosen for his swimmi ng talen ts. A product o f Wyoming Seminary, Jack is a junior, majoring in Commerce and Finance, and upon graduating plans to en ter the se lling fi eld. Jack swims in the 50-ya rd and I 00ya rd freestyle events, boasting records in both. H e is .ilso a member o f the four -man, 400-ya rd free relay team , which holds the Wilkes record in tha t event. In a recent meet w ith P.M.C ., Jack gained first place in the 100-yard fr ees tyle event , and in a meet w ith Philadelp hia Textile he p roduced a first in the 50-yard free even t. Jack feels th e most exciting meet that he has participated in was against Millersvill e State , where both teams remained eq ual throughout the mee t unti l the final even t made Wilkes the victor. The team has lost a few meets but Jack says th ey were by slim margins and next year will prove different. When Ja~k attended Wyoming Seminary, he ea rned his letter in swimming and was captain of th e team. Hi s other interests include the Circle K Club and the Accounting Club. Jack states the team has grea t possib ilities in that it is composed o f talented freshmen and sophomores. Jack says the team has much spirit and because of this it has overcome the poor facilities in which the team must practice. The Beacon sports staff feels Jac k Barnes is deserving of this acclaim beca use of his interest in the swim team and for the fine performance that his efforts have produced. • • • • • • •• • • •• • • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • • •• • • • • • • Jack Barnes •••••••••••o••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• POMEROY'S Book Dept. - Third Floor FEATURES ALL THE BEST SELLING BOOKS at EVERYDAY LOW DISCOUNT Prices ! .

A recent column in the BEACON proposed that in the future the President ought to be chosen by popular election. Out of the twenty-six students - interviewed in a recent BEACON survey, sixteen favored popular election, while the remaining ten opposed the idea. Students favoring election by the s tudent body included: Neil Remland , freshman : "The election should be taken from the floor to let the student body know who is running. A student may have voted for two certain people for Student Government representatives from his Did The Beacon Get A Date? class, but he may have a p reference as to which of the two he would like to see as president. " Sumner Hayward, junior: "Nominations by Student Government with popular elections for president of the governing body is desirable. Such procedure can increase student interest in their government and yet provide Student Government with some control in th.e selection of THEIR president." Sylvia Carstensen, freshman: "The student body should elect the president for two reasons. First, such elections would arouse school spirit as the s tudents backed the candidates of their choice. Secondly, the United States Congress doesn 't elect the the Vol. XXV/11 , No. 18 national President; why then should the representative body of Wilkes elect the president of the Student Government?" Anonymous: " Of course the student body should choose the president. Otherwise those students who are interested but who aren't in Student Government are deprived of a voice in the election." Those opposed to popular election included: Gary Einhorn , senior: "I feel that the Student Government president should be elected by the class representatives rather than by popular vote. Because Student Government representatives see who is in action and who possesses the material needed in their leader, they are better qualified than a rather divorced student body in the selection of president." Carolyn Koslowski, freshman: "The president should be elected by the Student Government because the members know who is better qualified for the position; otherwise the election may become a popularity contest." Carolyn Kaplan , freshman : "The representatives should choose the president of Student Government, but if the students elect him , the candidates should first appear before the student body to explain their platforms and qualifications. " V emie Shiposh, freshman: "The student body elects the members of the Student Government as their repre- Beacon WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNA. sentatives. If they don't have faith in their choice of a president, they shouldn't have elected them as their representatives.'' John Cavallini, sophomore: "Student Go v e r n m en t representatives should be elected by the student body , but the president of Student Government should be elected by the representatives. The representatives, rather than the students, know who is best quali.~ied to preside over their meetings. Ed Pashinski , freshman: "The whole student body doesn't know the person well.

Friday, February 28, 1964 Senior English Major Selected LODGE, KENNEDY LEAD IN STUDENT POLL In Clamour's 'Best Dressed' Contest by Charlotte Wetzel Last Friday, in addition to the election of class officers, a campus-wide political primary was sponsored by ICG . The purpose of this poll was to determine student preferences concerning the Pres idential and Vice-Presidential candidates who have been mentioned as prospective nominees for the national conventions to be held this summer. The members of the committee who directed the activities were chairman Joe Grohowski, Charles P etrillo, John Lore, Karen Volgamore, Andrea Petrasek and Judy Valunas. The local preliminaries for Glamour Magazine's annual Best Dressed Coed Contest were held recently at the College. Miss Barbara Gallagher was chosen as Eest Dressed Coed among ten women w ho demonstrated their tastes and fashion sense by modeling on-campus, off-campus, and evening ensembles. Th ey were Misses Pam DeHaven, Jane Edwards, Ruth Friedlander, Bonnie Hyatt, Lee McClosky , Ann Marie Mickle, Marie Persic, Joan Smith, and Regina Watkins. Miss Gallagh er's on campus selection was a blue and white V -neck shift jumper complemented by a blue silk crepe blouse, a gold bracelet, and tan kid flats. She chose a dark blue three piece knit suit for off-campus wear. The collarless jacket, trimmed in white, topped a sleeveless shell and straight skirt. Miss Gallagher's evening dre;is was a black crepe j"jth the bodice forming a V in front and back. The bronze peau de soie overskirt accentuated the slim black skirt. A topaz dinner ring and silk clutch bag completed the evening ensemble. A bouquet of American Beauty roses was presented to Miss Gallagher by the Lettermen. She also received a silver charm and bracelet from A WS.

According to Jeff Gallet, Chairman of ICG, the Republican returns illustrated sev eral interesting factors .

In fact , all the candidates who led Goldwater have Liberal tendencies. Assuming that President Johnson would be renominated for the Presidency , !CG restricted the D emocratic poll to the Vice-Presidency. Concerning the results of the Democratic Party, Gall et remarked, "It is significant that Attorney General Kennedy received 52 .8% of th e votes for the Democrats, while no Republican candidate achieved this accomplishment."

'Silver .Opinion' Scholarships Available To Women Students During the months of February and March, Reed & Barton, America 's oldest major silversmiths, are conducting a "Silver Opinion Competition " in which valuable scholarships totalling $2050 are being offered to duly enrolled women students at a few selected colleges and universities. Wilkes College has been selected to enter the Competition in wh ich the First Grand Award is a $500 cash scholarship ; Second Grand Award is a $300 scholarship; Third Grand Award is a $250 scholarship; fourth, fifth and sixth awards are $200 scholarships; and seventh , eighth, ninth, and tenth a re $100 scholarships. In addition , there will be 100 other awards consisting of sterling silver, fine ch ina and crystal with a retail value of approximately $50. In the 1964 "Silver Opinion Competition" , an entry form illustrates twelve designs of sterling with eight designs of both china and crystal. The entrants simply list the three best combinations of sterling, china, and crystal from the patterns illustrated. Scholarships and awards will be made to those entries matching or com ing closest to the unanimous selections of table-setting editors from three of the nation 's leading magazin es. Mary Russin and MiMi Wilson are the Student Representatives who are conducting the "Silver Opinion Competition" for Reed & Barton. Those interested in entering the "Silver Opinion Competition " should contact either Mary or MiMi for entry blanks and for complete details concerning th e Competition rules. They also have samples of twelve of the most popular Reed & Barton designs so that entrants can see how these sterling patterns actually look. Through the opinions on silver design expressed by college women competing for these scholarships, Reed & Barton hopes to compile a valuable library of expressions of young American taste. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, February 28, 1964 Letters to the Editor Editorial Is Freedom of Speech An American Myth? Revilo P. Oliver, classics professor at the University of Illinois, tested the principle of freedom of speech recently, and the repercussions were violent. A torrent of comments, invectives, pans, barbs, and the like have been unleashed at the right-wing professor who attacked President Kennedy in a lengthy treatise in American Opinion magazine, the official monthly of the John Birch society. In the midst of this whirlpool of criticism, Oliver staunchly maintains, "What I have given was fact." His "facts" describe President Kennedy as a clever Communist agent who won the Presidency by "'peddling boob-bait for the suckers" and who was assassinated last year because be botched bis assigned role to capture the U. S. He also charges that Kennedy collaborated with Khrushchev on a "fake invasion" of Cuba to strengthen the Communist stronghold on the island and concludes that all the late President's activities were aimed at subverting and sabotaging our defenses. As · &ight be expected, the collegiate press throughout the nation responded vigorously - and in some cases surprisingly. Roger Ebert of the Daily Illi, of the University of Illinois, commented that "only a strong and free society could permit Professor Oliver bis own freedom. I see nothing wrong with his speaking out - particularly because by doing so he is disproving his own charges." Jack W. Peltason, acting provost of the U., degraded Oliver's views, but firmly defended his right to the sacred, untouchable freedom of speech. Competent Judges? Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to suggest that in the future the Associated Women Students look into the possibility of obtaining judges for the Glamour Magazine contest for the best-dressed coed from among the population of Wilkes-Barre outside of the College Administration. These persons could be chosen from the local store managers and other individuals having a knowledge of current styles of clothing as well as modeling techniques. This move would render the nest choice possible and would eliminate any implication of bias in the choice of the contestant most qualified to represent our school in the national contests. To Members of the Junior Class: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for electing me as your representative to Student Government. As your representative, I will try my best to serve you. If anyone has a particular stand on something or an idea which would pertain to the Student Government, I should appreciate it if you would drop a note in my mailbox at the bookstore. All that I can say is thanks again. Sincerely, Don Ungemah Class of 1965 A Conservative Replies Sincerely, ROGER SQUIER NOTICE K. S. and J.

The Editors Concluding that freedom of speech is restricted and that partial freedom is non-freedom, this editor berated people who wasted time arguing the point and inferred that they should instead calmly accept the fact and face reality. In our opinion, this attitude is far more dangerous than the professor's extremist charges. Especially dismaying is the fact that this passive attitude is becoming an accepted tenet of the youth of today. Thanks Last week Mr , Gallet proposed that write on the issues.

Liberal arts is dying, dying not because what it teaches is unnecessary in our modern world , but rather because of academic and social parochialism. That the artist of numbers 56 and 63 is a talented creator of Fine Arts is not in question. That the subject is a legitimate one for artistic expression is not in question. That these paintings have been displayed in other exhibits (Wyoming Valley Art League's current exhibit) is not in question. That the art department ad vocates the study of the human figure as "the most beautiful form " is not in question. But the question is the closed mind of society. Society no longer allows the fre e expression and free thought that is essential and paramount to a liberal arts education . The removal of the paintings is only a small and minor incident, but it points out the demise of a liberal arts education. Goya and Picasso (who have painted nudes) are considered " masters ," but students who try to follow masters are stopped. How can this be rationalized? World Literature students are required to study Chaucer, but "woe betide" if a student tried to write w ith the " masters '" realism.

In fact , this topic was highlighted in a recen t session of the Wilkes College Forum. Yet despite all the propaganda in behalf of hom e- rul e, there are several important reasons why such a course of action is neither favorable for the citizens living in Washington, D.C., nor feasible from the stand of the U .S . Government. ·• • The District of Columbia was established specifically as the seat of the F ederal Government . U nli ke most o ther ci ties, Washington did not grow at a geographically favorable site; it was deliberately chosen . In addition , its boundaries are fixed by law and cannot be increased. Washington has no specific industrial complex within its boundaries, and its revenues are limited to levies on light consumer and service businesses, a real estate tax , a levy on incomes, and sales and excise taxes. Fifty percent of the D istrict's area has been retired from the tax rolls because so much of its land is either fed erally owned or under irrevocable trusts. Each year , more of its land a rea is made tax exempt. Average Income Fell Most important, in re cent years, the average income of District resid en ts has fallen below that of their n eighbors in Virginia and Maryland. Property values in some parts of the city have dep recia ted , thus furth er reducing potential revenue source;;. Washington has little opportunity '-to increase its tax base because it has been almost wholly developed with in its own city limits. IF THE DISTRIC T OF C OLUMBIA WERE GRANTED A U TON OMY, IT WOULD IMME DIATELY BECOME BANKRUPT! Th e only remaining untapped reve• VIEWPOINT (Cont inu e d t o :n p ag e 2) Walsh said, " It is a known fact that the Communists exploit this kind of literature in order to break down the morals of our youth, thereby making th em more susceptible to Communism." It is only a short step from years. Since these men are by their that kind of statement to political censorship. In fac t, there a re "decent litera ture" groups attempting political censorship now . A democracy cannot tolerate poli tical censorship. The late John Kennedy told the Senate, "The lock on the door of the legislature , th e pa rli a men t, or the assembly hall by order of th e king , the commissa r, or the fuhr er has historically been fo llowed or preceded by a lock on the door of the printers, the publishers, or the booksellers." Let us not be misled by emo tional pleas.• As individuals we must reserve the right to read and to think unhampered by arti fi cial restraints. The right to read freely and the right to think fr eely are basic parts of o ur way of life. The censors ask us to surr end er thes e rights. I refus e. nue source then would be a payroll tax on residents of other areas who work, but do not live, in Washington. But thi s tax could hardly offset the substantial federal payment now made to it. In fact , this would tend to discourage expansion of faciliti es within its boundaries such as new service industri es, consumer installations, and perhaps federal offices. A full y autonomous Washington, D .C. would have no more legitimate right to demand money from the federal government than would any other pla ce that has a post office, a military installation, or a federal building within its boun daries. If th e District of C olumbia w ere to receive such a payment, every congressman could successfully argue that his district or any municipality in it a lso should receive such a paymen t for eve ry acre of land owned federall y and therefore not on its tax rolls. The C onstitution, in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, states in part, that Cong ress shall ha ve the power "to exe rcise exclusive legislation in all cases, whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding 10 mi les square although enlarged to 70 miles square by a retrocession act in 1846) as may , by cession of particular states, and th e acceptance of Congress, become the sea t of the government of the U .S ." Even if th e word "exclusive" and the phrase "in all cases w hatsoever" ha d not been used in the above quotation , th ere would be no qu es tion concerning the authority and responsibility of Congress to govern and rule th e District of Columbia . But the very fact that they are used 'seems to emphasize that th e Framers ·were determined that there should be no conflict over federa l interest in and control over the D istri ct. In Hands of Congress Until 187 1 the D istrict was governed by a mayor and a leg islat ive council chosen by the people, and be- tween 1871 and 1874 the District was represented in the House of R epresentatives by a delegate chosen by th e voters. But due to inefficiency and corruption, especially in 1874, the present system of gove rnment was created in that year , whereby residents of the District elec t none of the officials w ho run the government under which they live. To insure the greatest good to the largest number of people, authority for running the District's affairs is placed exclusively in the hands of Congress. Let there be no misunderstanding. There is no quarrel with the desire to grant a ll citizens a maximum of selfgovernmen t. But, actuall y, the status of our nation 's capitol does not differ from that of any military pos t, federal reserva tion , park, or federal installation anywhere in the United States. P ersons living in fed era l complexes outsid e o f th e District o f Columbia have all the rights of other citizens, but th ey do not have the right to govern the affairs o f the places w here they live. In th ese areas , federal interes t a nd control are predom inant. By the same token , resid ents of the District of Columbia a lso are forbidden to have home-rule. Not only is the federa l interes t in a ffa irs of th e D istrict dominant , but th e federal responsibility, prescribed by law, must not be relinquished or redelegated. Th e advocates of home- rule have many complaints. In a ddition to being denied the right to govern themselves, they argue most congressmen are little concerned about District affairs. Housing , hospital, and educational conditions in Washington, it is argued, are deplorable. I wonder just how ma ny of these complainers availed themselves of the frequent sessions of th e House and Senate Committees, at wh ich interested residents and organizations may appear. . .

SG Passes Popular Election Amend1T1ent AMENDMENT DEBATED AT ICG MEETING STUDENTS WILL NOW DECIDE FATE by Barbara Simms At a recent ICG meeting , a debate was held on a proposed amendment to the Student Government constitution. If thi s am endm ent is passed, the President of the Student Government ' will be chosen by the student body, rather than by the Student Government representatives, as he is now. Dick Burns, President of Student Government, and Jeff Gallet, member of th e Court of Appeals, argued that the President should be popularly elected. They were opposed by Rich Shemo, Chairman of the Student Governm ent Constitution Committee, and Fred Smithson, parliamentarian of Student Government and chairman of the Court of Appeals. Shemo opened the debate with the assertion that the students are not w ell enough versed on the abilities of each of the members to choose the Pres ident from among them , and for this reason, the choice heretofore has been left to the members themselves. H e stated that since the student body elects its representatives, it gives a vote of confidence to them to choose th eir leader . He also pointed out some dangers of popular election. It might be reduced to a mere popularity con- OF PRESID ·E NTIAL AMENDMENT tes t. It might lead to bloc voting, in which a large group of students might get together and vote for a candidate for no better reason than that he is a member of their class. In an election where there is a lack of interest, a mediocre candidate might gain a victory through a small group voting for him . by Rich Kramer ARTICLE 5, SECTION 2. The If current legislation is approved by newly elected Student Government Maturity Involved Gallet opened the affirmative argu ment by stating that the question is not whether a small or a large group votes, it is whether a student is mature enough and capable enough to choose his own leader. H e said that because college students are more intelligent than averag e people, they are less likely to vote for a candidate for poor reasons . Under the proposed amend ment , he continued, the nominations would have to come from the Student Government members; th erefore , the candidates would all be capable. He said, "There is little doubt in my mind that the present system of electing the Student Government President is objectionable and unacceptable." There is politicking within a small group, and although we have been lucky in getting good leaders so far, this does not a lways have to be the case. As far as the students not being aware of the qualifi~ations of the members, he claimed 'iJ. to be a poor argument. The purpos·e of the campaign in the general ' election is to acquaint the voters with the candidates' a chievements. Rich Shemo the United States to th e Congress is a weak one. In Student Government, the relationship is closer and is only developed by allowing the members to choose their own leaders. A popula r election might create animosities by the fact that the members might not want to follow that particular leader. Burns closed the affirmative argument with the points that an elected candidate would work harder and better to make the students notice him, that he would have to take stands on controversial issues. These actions lead to growth. The popular election would give the students a chance to s how their material. As for animosities arising, he answered that in the Negative Argument present system, the group could be split by a 7-5 vote , that it is up to Smithson began his argum ents J-,y the President to mold the group into stating that in a campaign a candi- an effici ent organization. date can give his qualifications by listing the offices he has held a nd the committees he has been on, but only NOTICE th e members of the Student Government know whether he worked at IDC President, George Evancho, th ese jobs or not , or w hether he would has requested that students make a good leader. He reasoned that keep the Student Union, clean, the analogy between the relation of or it will have to be closed. the President of Student Government to the members and the President of * Dick Burns * SMOKING SURVEY a plebiscite of the student body, the next President of the Wilkes College Student Government will be elected by popular ballot. This resolution was the outcome of debate at the regular meeting of Student Government on Monday afternoon. The attempt to alter the constitution of the Wilkes College student body is the first tangible result in a series of proposals pending action by Student Government for some tim e. A long-standing topic of debate in student government circles is the election of a Student Government representative to replace the newly chosen President of that group. Since the President is elected in the spring, several Student Government members felt that the replacement represen tative should also be elected at that time to maintain the membership in the organization at full force and to give the new member time to become acclimated to his new responsibilities. Many members, however, felt that the present custom of electing this re placement representative within the first three weeks of the subsequ ent fall s ~mester would enable prospective candidates for the position to raise their academic averages in order to qualify. Since Student Government could not reach a decision on this matter, its presentation to the student body for their approval may be delayed indefinitely. Below is a partial text of the proposed changes in the constitution of the Wilkes College student body. These amendments, in their final form as passed by Student Government, will be presented for the approval of the entire student body. ARTICLE 3, SECTION I, PARA. GRAPH 2. Upon the election of the President of the Student Government, the class w hich he represents shall thereupon be entitled to an additional representative who shall be chosen by a special election as stated in Article 4, Section 3. LMC Committee members s hall meet within one week after their election to nominate from within their group candidates for the Student Government Presidency. ARTICLE 5, SECTION 4. Nomination and election of the vice-president, treasurer, and secretary of Student Government shall be by the newly elected Student Government mem bers from within their group at the last meeting of the spring semester.

Are the students going to qui.! smoking completely? When presented with thi s question , none of the students intervi ewed in our Beacon survey answered aff irmatively. Most are cutting down, or would like to cut down, on their smoking, while the rest are still smoking the sa me amount of cigarettes. Dian Schoenfeld: "I cut down from a pack a day to about three cigarettes a day. The same thing will happen in th e United States as it did in Eng land. Th e people will go back to smoking as man y or more than they did befor e." Rosemary Baiera: "I am smoking as much as I did before; I have no will power to stop. If I stop smoking , I'd probably bite my nails. I enjoy it, a nd I feel healthy. " a cigarette I felt as if I needed one. " Donald Powell : "I will cut down , but I won't stop completely." Mary Lou Snee: "I enjoy smoking too much to quit." Dr. Bliss: "By smoking, I am recogn iz ing the inevitable." Pete Palmere: "I must have a reason to quit. To me the advice of the comm ittee is not a valid reason, even though their findings might be true." S ara Perugino: "The p i o n e e rs smoked, famous queens smoked, the Indians smoked , Mammy Yokum smokes, and they all lived a full , rich life." Senor Val ero: "I began smok inq (American cigarettes) at th e age of 25 when I was in the military service.

CCUN Represents Finland In Assembly by Marshall Evans Members of Wilkes ' CCUN are attending the National Model General Assembly being held in New Yark this weekend. Colleges from all over the United States send representatives to this conference each year to take part in a model assembly. Each school re;:,resents one country. Its representatives consider and debate the same problems that fac e the actual General Assembly. The initial meeting will take place in the General Assembly of the United Nations, while other meetings take place at the Commodore Hotel. During th e conference. students attending will be addressed by officials of the Un ited Nations. Wilkes· CCUN delegates will be representing Finland, and, as such, will visit a nd be briefed by members of the Finnish delegation before they attend the assembly. They will be advised as to the Finnish stand on issues, and the delegates will then vote accordingly when resolutions are drafted. Members of Wilkes' CCUN attending will be Alan Krieger, Jim Jenkin s, P auline Homko, Carol Mayer, Don Ungemah , Jeff Roberts, and Dr. Bronis Kaslas , advisor to the group. by Ruth Partilla Due to the high unemployment rate caused by the decrease in anthracite coal production in the I 940's, WilkesBarre attempted to attract new industries to this area. With these new industries came the problem of labormanagement relations. Late in 1956, M'.lis problem was partially solved by ·the establishment of a Labor-Managem"1t-C itizens Commi ttee containing thi;ty members: ten representing organized labor, ten from management, and ten chosen from the public, one of which was appointed chairman. The purposes of this committee, as stated in the charter, are to "mediate industrial disputes after they have occurred or preferably before they started; to offer industry and labor the best management-labor climate in the country; and to establish and build up a national reputation of excellent labor-manag ement relations and a positive favorable labor-management, and the public will all participate to their mutual advantage". The execu tive director of the LMC. Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, explai ning membership on the Committee, stated, "All members are individuals of stature in the community. Some represent various churches, some are presidents and vice-presidents of their companies. a nd some are officers of labor unions. All are vitally interested in community affairs." Five Principles The charter under which the LMC Committee operates is founded on five basic principles: I. Workers have the right to join a union. Dr. Rosenberg 2. Management has the right to direct the operations of the enterprise. 3. There should be no racial or national discrimination against workers. 4. Labor and management are to be offered voluntary use of the LMC Committee in the areas of mediation, fact finding, and arbitration. 5. An educational program should be made available for better understanding between workers , stewards, union officials, foremen, supervisors, and managers. The Committee is usually consulted when local organizations are involved in a dispute in which local (C~tinued l'" P.•9• 3) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 EDITORIAL .... APATHY As you are well aware, our campus seems to be no exception w hen it comes to being a target for accusations concerning the apathy of our students. Some individuals seem to have a great knack for inflating minor incidents where students have failed to show interest and stating, ··Boy, are the students on our campus apathetic." But, on the other hand, these very same students fail to recognize the amount of activity in which many students are participating and displaying a great deal of concern. In the past few weeks, Jeff Gallet has taken the time to express his views on a number of political subjects, and we are pleased to say that his views were not passively accepted, but that he was challenged by a letter from one of our students. The week before last, our campus w as the site of a fashion show. Students not only absorbed what they saw, but through this paper, one particular person expressed his feelings on the manner in which this affair was organized. In citing these instances, I am not in any sense trying to say that the students should constantly disagree among themselves and thereby accomplish nothing. I am saying that through such actions , more individuals become involved . . .. someone's feelings are hurt .. .. someone is disturbed to the point of action . We can never hope to encourage participation merely through group efforts. People just w on ' t respond . But stimulate their ego, and they are immediately brought to realize the importance of participation, if only for the purpose of defending their own ideas. Another instance which probably might have gone unnoticed is one in regard to Freshman Weekend. During this weekend the potential freshman students visit the campus for two days and are oriented to various phases of college life. This weekend had bee n part of our school's policy for a number of years. and under the direction of IDC , it has developed into quite an enjoyable weekend. A fe w w eeks ago, the administration decided to cancel freshman w eekend, saying that it was not va luable to the freshmen , because it failed to present any phase of academic life. Had our students been apathetic, this decision w ould have been sustained, and freshman weekend would have vanished. BUT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN . Through the efforts of IDC and the Accounting Club, the weekend was reinstat~q. Both these organizations not only expressed the desire to contribute their time and effort. but also each decided to personally assume all the respective costs for the weekend, thus relieving the administration of their burden. All the previously mentioned cases are examples of nonapathetic s tudents actively pursuing their own fields of interest. This goes to show that students do respond, and I am sure that if one would carefully examine the situation , he would find that the majority of the students at Wilkes College are not apathetic . J.J.K. WITH FEELING Mr . Richard Chapline, member of the music department , was involved in a head-on collision in Dover, N. J. , las t Saturday . He suffered abrasions and v arious injuries, none of a very serious nature.. He is recuperating in Dover General Hospital. The Beacon wishes him a speedy recovery. We regret the recent death of Mr. Stanley Gutin's mother. Mr. Gutin is a member of the English department . The Beacon joins wi th him in his grief. • • Friday, March 6, 1964 Letters to the Editor AWS ANSWER D ear Editor: I would like to answer Mr. Squier's letter of February 28, concerning the judges of Glamour Magazine's contest for the Best Dressed Coed. Associated Women Students is aware that fash ion experts are more capable than college teachers of rendering an accurate opinion concerning c u r r e n t styles. The object of the contest, however , is not to choose a coed with a professional look, but one who exemplifies the dressing habits of the American college girl. Glamour Magazine believes this purpose is achieved by having members o f the faculty participate as judges, since they have the opportunity o f seei ng these girls every day. Sincerely, DANA SALADON President, A .W .S . WHO'S TO BLAME? D ea r Editor: F or some tim e now people on this campus have been waging a losing battle wi th apathy. Th e students of Wilkes College as a whole seem to do much complaining, but never actually do any thing else. As an interested person, I have looked into this problem . One answer to it consistently comes up . This a nswer seems to put the blame on th e administration. The feeling is that the studen ts a re ti ed down by conservatism. It is my contention that , before such a complaint is ma de, the students should first look at themselves a nd their own organizations. It seems that there is more dissension between the different organizations on campus than th ere is between politica l parties in a troubled A sia tic gove rnment. Dates for events are so juggled , or else so hard to get, that no one can organize a ny fun ction adequa tely. Clubs and oth er groups have to struggl e so hard against th emse lves, in order to survive, that the average student gets no benefit from their existence. Every time a new a nd fresh id ea or a spark of spirit is conceived, it is qu enched by all the "red tape" and " party politics" o f almost every group on campus. I feel that th e Beacon as the voice of the students should expose these goings on to th e entire student body, so that they ( the students) will be aware of the problem and arise to do something about it. This the students can accomplish by writing letters to the Beacon, attending Student Government , roe, and thei r own class meetings. Respec tfully submitted , DIANNE ALFARO THANK YOU D ear Miss Lore: W e would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone w ho helped make the first 1964 Senior Art Exhibit ~e great success that it was. First, Mr. Colson and Mr. Richards, our advisors, Mr. Jervis and the crew, and the two hundred and twenty peopl e who attended the show. A special tha nks must also be given to Joa n Klos for her valuable help in hang ing and taking down the exhibit a nd a lso George Butwi n, w hose tape record er and tapes p rovi ded just the right background music. In closing, we wish all other senior a rt majors much luck wi th th ei r exhibits and hope that they can benefit fro m our mistakes. Tha nk you, Bill Williams, Jan Pethick, Len Yablonski WHERE'S THE MONEY FROM? D ear Editor: It is no t our purpose to continue a con troversy with the Student Government, but we do believe that all organizations at Wilkes College should opera te under the same sta ndards o f eq uality and treatment. C ertain actions of the Student Government in the recent past seem to viola te the very principles w hich were la id down to the Interdormitory Council prlier in the school yea r. We now mevely raise a point o f informa tion, and we hope that the Student Government will clear up our feelings of curiosity. D u ring th e discussion over the budge t requests, we understood that gifts, whether financed by allotment o r by earnings, could not legally be made by any Wilkes College student organization. Speci fic a ll y, th is limitation LA YING IT ON THE LINE D ea r Editor: Wh y is a Wilkes cafeteria line like a middle-aged adult? Answer: because it grows in the middle where it 's not supposed to. Why do some people feel that it is their right to cut into line in front o f those w ho ha ve been waiting quite a whil e? The purpose o f a line is to maintain order while being served. Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if everybody would demand to be served a t once? The purpose o f a line, in normal behavior, is to move forward. T o the astonishment of th e s tudent at the end of the Commons lin e, however, he find s the line moving backward! Some students, who think Mann ers is th e name of a butler, install a fifth column in the lin e to move alon g with the un suspecti ng innocents. When the space retainer reaches th e bulletin board . the cutter, apparently sta rving beyond all power of imagination, waltzes up and performs hi s " Open , Sesame!" act with a "Hi! Let me in , w ill you?" Not only does he get in, he brings his relatives, friends, and anybody else he hapo ens to pick up a long the way. IDC is aware of this problem and has discussed it, but it is up to the students to act. It's tim e we tau ght th ese people some mann ers. If these line penetrators are that hungry, perhaps some special provision could be made for th em. In any case, they should a t least remember that it takes more than one person to ma ke a line.

N . because it has done noth ing to promote our interests above the rest of th e world. " What are our interests, a nd s hould th ey be prom oted over th e rest of the world? Clea rly our overriding interest is th e maintenance of peace without the loss of our own na tional sovereignty or freedom or undue intrusion on th e sovereignty of o th ers. In numerous instances in the M iddle East, in Africa, and now in Cyprus, the U . N. has shown its ab ility to help maintain peace. The U . S. has, of course, other in teres ts as well. W e protec t our investments abroad , and we have a v ested in terest in democracy and ca pitalism. The U . N . does not , a nd never should , promote these narrow U . S . interests, just as it never promo tes the narrow interests of any o ther nation or bloc. Does it negate the value and function of the U. N . if it can no t be manipulated to Am erica n purposes? One final point. "The rights of th e states have been unnecessarily usurp ed by the F edera l Government." Undoubtedly the Federal Government nci> w o pera tes in sha res previously fe's·e rve d for th e sta tes. Has this usurpation been unn ecessary? In many a reas the states proved th emse lves ei ther unwilling or unabl e to cope wi th th e problems o f modern socie ty . Seg regation, mass un employment, urban deterioration, and industrial development of areas like the T ennessee River Valley are probl ems that th e Federal Government has been forc ed to han dl e. The government has been forced to intervene in matters of intersta te commerce a nd mass communications only because the states were unable to do an adequate job. This is not usurpatio n. It is a necessa ry extension of government if a na tion is to achieve full and equal prosperity for all its citizens. •••••••••••••••••••••••• N O TICE Philadelphia CO RE Representative at Chapman Hall at 2:30 P .M.

The ESSC team proved to be too much and overpowered the Reesemen to bring their log to 3-1. In their next meet the Colonels rebounded by soundly defeating Moravian College 31-5. The meet was highlighted by the 137-pound match in which Tim Adams, trailing through most of the match, reversed to make the score 10-5 and then clamped his opponent with a crossbody ride to gain a fall with only 12 seconds remaining.

The victory was the first in two years over Millersville, as the 1962 encounter ended in a 14-14 deadlock. The next contest on the Colonel card was with the Warriors of Lycoming . The Reesemen 's winning streak was stopped short as the Warriors crushed th e Colonels 17-5. The only Wilkes victory of the evening turned out to be a tremendous loss, as captain Brooke Yeager suffered a chest injury in decisioning his opponent 7-4. Yeager missed the next meet and in all probability will not enter the coming MAC Tourney. The Colonel grapplers en~ed their season on an unexpected note when Gettysburg forced the Ree.semen to settle for a 15-15 tie. The ' meet was saved from defeat by freshman Bill Tinney who turned in a thrilling performance by pinning his opponent within two seconds of the final buzzer to knot the meet.

For the first time the MAC was divided into University and College divisions which has ended the la rger college domination of the past and has added incentive and increased competition among the small colleges of the Conference. Ronald Daggett, Harry H eesch, Jon Carsman, and Mike Scholey represented Wilkes. Ron Daggett would have made the finals, but was disqualified at the end of his hea t. Harry H eesch was not up to par, either, as he fin ished behind swimmers whom he had bea ten during th e regular season. In the 100-yd. fre e semi-finals Harry pulled a 57.7, breaking the Wilkes record he shared with Jack Barnes . In the University Division, Bucknell easily won with a total of 158.5 points, followed by LaSalle with 79.5.

BEACON Honors Dick Morgon With 'Athlete 01 The Week' Laurels Cage Captain Holds 3 Game Records On Season In Ending Court Career by Ivor Smith The Beacon turns to the basketball team in search of a recipient of this week 's "Athl ete of the Week." Team captain, Dick Morgan, is given this issue's Beacon laurels. An outstanding performer all year as a guard, Dick has proved his value to th e squad many times. Dick is a native of Spring City , Pennsylvania, an English major and current resident of Gore Hall. He attended Phoenixville High School where he captained the basketball and cross-country teams. His high school track team also had the use of Dick's talents. Dick holds letters in all three of these sports. The Colonel soccer team has had advantage of Dick's fine work for the past three seasons. He has also lettered in that sport. His soccer talents have earned him three Stagg awards, and he is one of the finest soccer players Wilkes has seen in a number of years. It is interesting to note that Dick never played soccer before he entered Wilkes. On the basketball court, Dick has been invaluable to the team as a playmaker and sparkplug for the Wilkes cagers. Although the team has not produced a winning season, Dick Morgan is still to be noticed. When the current of the game slows, he manages to keep life in the team. Dick's record this season demonstrates his spirit and drive, along with Dick Morgan his defensive skill and role as playmaker. He holds the current season's high for Wilkes in total points scored in one game - 27 against Albright. H e also made the most fie ld goals scored in one game also against Albright. When Wilkes challenged Harpur, Dick had th e free -throw high for the Colonels, dropping in 8 out of 11 from the foul line. Dick Morgan is to be congratulated for his efforts on the basketball team , and the BEACON sports staff does so in awarding him "Athlete of the Week" honors in this issue . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In general , I think tha t its p sycholog ical part was o v erpowe ring, so much so tha t one could easil y forg et that the mov ie has a definite sociological se tting . What I mea n here is firs t, the fam ily; second , class, or a ctua ll y respective cl;,isses; and third , w ha t mi ght be conveniently called the reference group - Bo rstal boy s. F o r tha t rea son, while not forg etting its individualistic a sp ect, I tried to see the central figure in the to ta lity o f the sociological set-up . VIEWPOINT '64 President Johnson's Decision Once you ma p a nd explore th e te rritory in w hi ch th e hero was o peratin g, you ma y cl ea rly recognize a fa mily o f low soci o-economic cl ass. Th e contras tin g class v alu es a nd id eologi es a re pretty w ell illustra ted in th e scene in w hi ch two boys w atch a television speech of a representa tive of society. Th ey eli mina te sound a nd enjoy th e ca rica ture o f man . Th e scene shows a la ck of communication between cl asses. Fu r ther, y ou see a drama in a sketchy form ; one relev a nt part of th e family 's hi story is presented th e dy in g fath er a nd his easy rep la cement by a " fath er " subs titute. F o r o ur hero, th is fath er substitute is a n intruder for ever. Now, here in this socio-cultural milieu, one has to look for the foundations of the actor's ego-identity. Here one may locate the grounds for growing consciousness of w hat Collins, the hero, is about to become in a society, his conception of himself, and his own role in life. D O YOU THINK COLLINS WAS LONE LY? C ollins is not a " lone wolf." He has a fri end . Both belong to the same class ; both a re membe rs o f the same age group ; both share th e same values. But w ha t is more importa n t, they transla te th em in to ac tio n - fi rst, into a n a lmost pla y ful autom obile theft, a nd then , into th e burglary . F rom th en on , a nd ma inly from th e moment o f a pprehension , th e soc ial stigmatization b egins to operate in a new w ay - imprisonm ent. HOW WOULD YOU EVALU ATE THE LIFE AT THE BORSTAL INSTITUTION? Th e Bo rstal clima te has both an authoritari a n and a p ermissiv e atmosphere. F o r me, however , the therapeutic cl ima te is mo re impo rta nt, beca use here is a chance for chan ge in th e psyc holog ica l a nd valu e ori entation of these young inmates. C ertainly there is a cha nce for C ollins, for he has an exce ptiona l position owing to his phys ica l fitness. H e a lso has f,tll support of the directo r o f this institution. (Cont inued on Page 3) - by Jeff Gallet Who w ill be the D emoc ra ti c Vi ce- Presidenti a l nominee? This is the question facing Presid ent Johnson . H e must pick a candida te who is not only technicall y qua lified to be President , but a lso one who w ill a dd politica l bala nce to the ticket. The li st o f potentia l ca ndidates is long . It ranges from S ena tor Muski e of M a in e to G o vernor Prown of C a li forni a. Th e only th ing that is certain is that the fin a l choice w ill be up to P resident Jo hnson a nd tha t he won 't make it until a ft er th e R epublica n C onvent ion in Jul y. _ The R epublica n ticket w ill be a big fa ctor in th e decision . If the R epu bli cans nominate a conse rva tiv e ticket, for exa mple , one headed by S ena to r Goldw ater, th e D emoc ra ts could lean towards a mo re conse rvat ive candidate. Th e theory is tha t the libera l vote will go D emocratic beca use it has no other cho ice. The liberals a re no t goin g to vo te for a ve ry conserva tive cand idate because they don 't like President Johnson 's middl e of th e road polic ies. The dange r in tha t theory is tha t th e lib era ls, ra ther tha n ma kin g a choice be tween two tickets they don' t like, w ill sit home a nd not vote at a ll. On th e o th er ha nd , if the R epublica ns nominate a mo re li bera l cand ida te , th e D emocrats w ill try to balan ce their ticket w ith a strong lib eral , one w ho is po pular w ith the la bor uni ons and civil lights groups. Th e na mes tha t com e up most often in th a t contex t a re Adla i Stev enson and Hubert Humphrey . A noth er consid erati on is geograph y. Th e President is a south westerner. This gives an advantag e to aspirants from the wes t coast (prefera bly California) a nd the northea st. E ven th e geogra phi cal a spe ct is dependent upon what the Republi ca ns do . If they nomin a te a northern er fo r th e Pres idency , th e D emocrats w ill pro bably lea n toward s a northerner, There are certa in cand ida tes w ho are not connected with any state or region in the public mind. Stevenson is one. R obe rt Kenned y is a nother. Th e la tter is a n interestin g case. H e ha s inh erited much o f his b roth er 's po pula rity , but he a lso has his own fo llowin g. H e has the reputation o f bei ng a to ugh, competent public o ffi cia l, but he has made man y enemies a nd w a s known a s hi s broth er 's " hatchet ma n ." H e would ca rry well in some northern industri a l a rea s, the predo mina ntly N egro sec tions, and the areas still loy a l to his brother, but he would hurt the ti cket in th e So uth a nd in some areas w here hi s economi c views have been qu estioned as being too co nse rv ati ve. Stev enson can be passed o v er a s a two- tim e loser w ithout a political ba se. His bes t cha nce w o uld be if th e R epubli cans nominate a liberal and LETT ER TO THE E DITOR run him on a liberal platform , but tha t seems unlikely . And eve n if that were to happen , Humphrey wo uld probabl y have the inside track. Thornburn Amusing? O f course, there are others in the runnin g: R. Sargent Shrive r, M ayor Ro bert Wa gner , S enator Eugene M cCarthy, a nd S ena tor " Scoop " Ja ckson, D ear Editor: jus t to name a few . Who w ill the D emocrats pick? Only time w ill tell, but I don 't consider Mr. Thorburn 's one can be sure that , w hen he is chosen , qualifications oth er tha n those for column an intrusion . In fa ct, I think th e job w ill be considered . it 's ra ther amusin g. Even Walt D isney would be p roud o f his fai ry tale. H e seems to be blindfold ed tow ard the fact that Russia w ill never accept :::::--- p ea ce. Disarmam ent wi ll only lead to o ur destruction because C ommunism is consigned to enslave the world. Another fac et a gainst th e tes t ban is that R ed C hina and France continu e to produce w eapon s. There can and never should be peace on earth while one country still rema ins under C o mmunist control. Hi s de fense o f th e U . N . is even less convincing . U . S . interest should be promoted fi rs t a nd foremost because we a re th e only country ca pable o f lea dinq the world . M r. Thorburn states, " In nu mero us instances in th e M iddl e East, in Africa , and now C y prus , th e U . N . has shown its a bility to help ma inta in p ea ce." H e seems to forg et tha t eve ry country w ith whi ch the U .

I th ink it's a bout tim e fo r him to re turn to reality and reali ze C ommunism is a high price to pay for p eace. F inall y, I say to Mr. Tho rburn , yes, the usurpa tion of s ta tes ' rights has been unnecessary because the sta tes can best solve th eir own internal problems.

RON CZAJKOWS KI �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 13, 1964 Page 3 , Wegimont Speaks On Diplomacy; Engineering Students Awarded Scholarships Views New Trends In College by Andrea T emplar M. Pierre W egimont, the newest member of the language department, is a ruggedly impressive man. The burn of fresh air on his face suggests that he might have spent winters in the French Alps, and his well-reasoned ideas reflect long hours of discussion over hot coffee and blazing fires. M. Wegimont is a native of Belgium. He received his Bachelor of Arts at Our Lady of Peace at Namur and his Doctorate of Law at the University of Brussels. A Bachelor of Arts degree in Europe requires a two-year course of study at a university. A doctorate in Law necessitates an additional three years and is equivalent to our Master's degree. By studying law, M. Wegimont prepared himself for almost any profession in the humanities, because the required courses are designed not only for lawyers, but also for journallsts, teachers, political scientists, or any number of professions. H e began th e interview by a discussion of the attitude of today's students as compared to that of students of past years. M. Wegimont noted that both Europe a nd America have been caught in a new trend of education which necessitates the decline of the witty, controve rsial man of old universities. The new studen t studies in an atmosphere devoid of the romantic traditions of yesterday 's college world. CORE Heors Smith 0n Negro Militoncy Last Saturday the C oll ege was visi ted by Mr. Charles Smith of the Philadelphia chapter of the Congress cf Racial Equali ty. Mr. Smith , a volun ieer worker for the Philadel phia chapter, and himself a N eg ro , has deep insight into the current racia l situatio n. Mr. Smith also has ex tens ive knowledge of the workings and goals o f the Civil Rights Moveme nt , gai ned through his experience on nu merous CORE projects, both in and out o f Philadelphia. H e was invited to Wilkes by the coll ege cha pter of CORE in order to help th e group clarify its own position a nd become more fully aware of CORE's role and methods. Meeting informally in the lounge of Chapman H all , Mr. Smith and the s tudents discussed various aspects of th e Negro militancy. A distinction was frequently drawn between CORE and the othe r civ il rights organizations such as the NAACP and the National Urban League. Where the la tter two groups are essentiall y mid dle class, and have primarily legishtive and judicial aims, CORE, as Mr. Smith explai ned, has been successful in appealing to th e hardpressed slum -dwelling N egro and in leading the drive for better homes , better schools, and better jobs. In ad dition, although CORE recognizes the value o f new legislation and progressive court action , they th emselves rely on d irec t-ac tion methods. The group saw CORE's role as provi din g leadership and initiative to th e N egro community and as awakening the white population to dementa l problems o f disc rimi nation. First row, left to right: Anthony Suda, Mr. Alfred S. Martin, president, King Fifth Wheel, Kenneth Maloney. Second row: Cromwell Thomas, assistant professor of engineering, Arthur Hoover, assistant to the deans, and Walter H. R. Mohr, director of development at Wilkes . by Leona Sokash Pierre Wegimont M . Wegimont spoke also on di plomacy, a subj ect of foremost interest to him . H e suggested seve ra l reasons for France 's recent recognition o f Red Ch ina. H e said that diplomacy can be analogous to a chess game. Each calcula ted move is part of an entire scheme, and each has its equated va lu e. As pawns are moved, as bishops take ranks, diplomatic relations between Europe and Asia w ill be streng th ened , until one day a ll o f Europe will probably recogni ze Red China. From th ere its acceptance into th e U .N. will be inevitable. M . W eg imont's adventurous nature and appetite for difficult tas ks ha ve taken him across Europe , to Canada, and to th e Belgian Con go in Africa. In th e Congo he taught for a year. In Canada he worked summers as a welder, laying the pip eline which carries natural gas across Canada. A welder, a traveler, a teacher - this is Pierre Wegimont, teacher of French. --: N O T I C E :-Mr. Richard Chapline regrets to announce that he has cancelled his "Town & Gown" concert scheduled for March 22, due to circumstances beyond his control. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• POMEROY'S BOOK SALE! $1.00 to $2.98 Originally published at 2 .50 to 18.00 Fabulous Savings on publishers overstock.

Al fred S . M artin , preside nt of King Fifth Wheel, made the presentations "LONELINESS" (Continued from Page 2 ) Yet this does not prevent him from suffering pain inflicted by the members of his reference group - other Bor• stal boys. He is ridiculed, beaten, ostracized. The impact of such group pressure and sanctions should not be overlooked. Certainly it is relevant to me, because this sanctioning power of the group, coupled with the ambiguity of the goal of the director expressed in his words, "If you help ME, I will help you," does not presumably create a favorable climate for a motivational and attitudinal change. D espite this, at one moment one is tempted to believe that th e change is already occurring . It is the scene in which C ollins is allowed to run w ith ou t cont rol. H erc he might be seen as being intoxicated by th e freedom , breathing freely , bein g alone. At times during th e run , he almost dances. HOW COULD YOU THEN EXPLAIN THE END? You mean the contest, don ' t you? This contest, the race, has also a very importa nt soc iologica l d im ension. As I think about it, it is basicall y a fight between a representative of an upper or upper middle socioeconomic class a nd a representative o f a lower socio-economic class. The picture clearly em ph asizes th e difference, o r if I may use another term taken from the tit le of the movie, a distance. For this reason, the run for Collins is not a simple run, for during it a recapitulation of previous experiences occurs. But more importantly, it is the final and most decisive part of the process I have called search for identity. At this moment one should recall the short episode in which Collins meets his friend and fellow in crime at the Borstal institution. This appearance is a living reminder of his past. To start again , as you may recall , during his run there is a rapid succession of gay and inviting pictures, and depressing and sombre ones. And to Kenneth L. Ma loney, a chemistry records, their evidence of needs and major , and Anthony P . Suda, a phys- th eir decision to pursue a career in ics major. science. M aloney a nd Suda were the two s tudents fin a ll y chosen. In Novembe r, Mr. M artin was visited by Dr. Eugene Farley and King Fifth Wheel has contributed Arthur Hoover who brought with to th e College 's scholarshi p fund in th em a list of ten students w ho qual - the past. These particular grants ifi ed on th e basis of th eir academic have no sti pulatio ns atta ched to them. then , the climax - to give up the race . While there may be num erous psychological ex pl ana tions (and I am not excluding th em), I am inclined to think that the abandonment of the race has its symbolic meaning and that it has to be related to the sociologica l variable; that is, th e family fram ed in a valu e system and constra ined by the condition of a lower social stratum. •••••••••••••••••••••••• College Charms - Rings Brooches Miniature Rings and Charm Bracelets •••••••••••••••••••••••• Dalon's Fireside Room FRANK CLARK 248 Wyoming Ave ., Kingston Jeweler One of the Nicer Places to Dine •••••••••••••••••••••••• Steaks & Seafood - Our Specialty RAZOR HAIRCUTTING •••••••••••••••••••••••• STERLING BARBER SERVICE Look Your Best . • .

This will be the largest swimming tourney of its kind ever held in the local area, and swimmers from all over Eastern Pennsylvania are expected to compete for be rths in the Eastern Regiona l Championships to be held later this month. The Senior division swimming will be held at the YMCA and the younger age groups will meet at the Wyoming Seminary pool. The meets are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday. Several members of the Wilkes swim team have been selected to officiate at the meet. lntramurals by Lee Wasilewski Last week 's intramural basketball action was characterized by a game which set a multitude of records. Most records set in intramural action this year were attributed to high score or low score, but the Rejects and See-I-Owes will go down in the record books for playing the longest game in intramural basketball history. At the end of the regulation game the Rejects and See,1-Owes were all knotted up at 52 all. Then came the first of five overtime periods. The game ended with the Rejects winning 82-79 and clinching first place in the American League. In the dorm league, both Butler and Gore Halls, the two pennant contenders, . were victorious. Gore edged out Holl$nback 36-32 for their 5th win in a row as Larry Gubamch and John Holmstrom paced the attack with 14 and 12 points respectively. Lloyd and Spencer split 16 for the losers. Butler also stayed undefeated in 5 games as they swamped Ashley 65-28 with Joe Kruczek and Ted Travis-Bey ~plitting 55 points. Don Mason and Dick Burns split 16 for the losers. In other games. Miner Hall walked over Slocum 54-36 as Curry rimmed 18 for the w inners. Barry Hall took the measure of Gore 55-27 to tie up the dorm division last Monday. Barre, Gore, and Butler are in the three-way deadlock and will play off at a date to be announced . The Beacon sports staff is continuing in presenting " Seasonal Sports Awards" to outstandin g athletes for their performances in the various sports. In this issu e, winter sports awards are given to individual standouts on the wrestling, swimming, and basketball teams. The awana for the outstanding wrestler this past season goes to Brooke Yeager. An aggressive wrestler, Brooke has a fine mat record and sets a precedent for upcoming novices. As a result of his talent for winning , his grappling career shows win after win over strong competition. Brooke has won numerous awards for his wrestling and has established himself as one of the most talented wrestlers Wilkes has seen. Dick Morgan gains the nod for the outstanding cager this season. As team captain, Dick has been valuab le defensively and as a spirited playmaker. Dick produced two records this season, most points scored in a single game, and most field goals in one game. Dick a lso shares high point honors for the season with Dale Nicholson. The Beacon sports staff feels Dick is deserving of this award for his value to the Colonel basketball team. Th ere is no doubt that Ron " Whale" Daggett sets the most grueling pace for the swimming team. Skillful in all phases of aquatics, Ron regularly swims the 200-yard individual, butterfly, and breasts troke events. This season Ron set a new 200-yard individual medley record with a time of 2:33.6, breaking a mark which stood since 1960. Along with Jon C arsman , Jack Barnes, and Mike Schooley, Ron was part of the record setting 400-yard free relay team which broke a long standing mark of 4: 12 with a new time of 4:04. Ron began swimming competitively at the age o f thirteen and has come a long way since the start of his career. His contributions to the swim team have greatly helped the Mermen during the past season, and the Beacon staff is looking forward to observing Ron's efforts next year. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• . . .

The purpose was to address "Friendly Sons of St. Patrick" organizations. Few, if any, expected throngs of people to greet him. However, at every arrival and departure, Mr. Kennedy was greeted by large crowds of people. The crowds, eager to see and to touch Robert Kennedy, literally blocked his path to his destination at every stop. Typical of th e situations occurring at every stop was the scene at the airport at the time of the Attorney General's departure. This reporter was assured by Mr. Kennedy 's public rela tions man, M r. Goodman, o f an exclusive interview before Mr. Kennedy departed. Upon th e arri val of Mr. Kennedy at the airport, however , hundreds o f people appeared ou t of nowhere. Pouring onto the field , they surrounded Mr. Kennedy .

Yeager clinched the silver medal by dethroning last year's champion, Dan Goughty, of Western State College, Colora do . Yea ger' s victory did not come easily as Goughty forced the Colonel mat s tar to overcome a 4-0 deficit. At th e end of the match the score was tied 8-8. Hoireve r , Yeager gained the nod by a dding one point for time advantage. In a ddition to guaranteeing Yeager at least a silver medal, the vic tory assured Yeager of a place in the fin a l competition in the NCAA national tournament to be held at Cornell Uni versity on March 27-28. It a lso qualified him to take part in the Olympic team tryouts to be held later thi s year in N ew York. Howard Ganstead of M a nkato I Minnesota} State College spoiled Yeager's hopes of returning home with the NCAA coll ege di vision championship when he gained a 9-6 decision over th e former Meyers great in the finals. Yeager 's impressive showing marked the first time a city coll ege wres tler has gone that far in th e NCAA tourney . Marv Antinnes, a fo rmer mat star for the C olonels and now coach at Pl y mouth H igh School. participated in th e finals of th e NAIA several years ago. Y eager' s performance was outstanding in view o f the fact that this was his first contest in more than a mon th . He was idled by a cracked rib injury susta ined in the Lycoming meet and was forced to sit ou t the remainder of the season and the MAC tourney. Yeage r has long exhibited his skillful performance both at Wilkes and in the past. At Meyers High School he won num erous honors for his fin e wrestling a nd was named "" Prep School Champion of the East" ' while attending Wyoming Sem inary. At Wilkes, Yeager has placed second in the Wilkes Open Tournament and in one season he grappled his way to MAC outstanding wrestler in the 123pound class. Recently Yeager was honored by having been chosen M ost Va luable Player by the BEACON an d has also been named "Athlete of the Week" in the past.

Dress is casual ECONOMICS MAJOR AWARDED FELLOWSHIP by Leona Sokash A Woodrow Wilson fellowship has been granted to Richard H. Hohn, an economics major. He is among 1,507 college seniors from 357 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada who have received this year's award. Hohn plans to do graduate work in the field of economics at either the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, or Emory. As a Woodrow Wi lson Fellow, Hohn is awa rded full tuition and fees for his first year at the graduate sc hool of his choice and a stipend of $1,800 and dependency a llowance . Commenting on the honor received by Hohn , D ea n Ralston said: "Wood row Wilson fellowships, wh ich are financ ed by the Ford Foundation, carry grea t prestige to the w inners and to th eir coll eges. It is a hi gh honor to th e student chosen and to Wilkes, for there are on ly over a thousand winners chosen, and the competition is very stiff." An honorable mention has been awarded to English major Barbara Gallagher. She is one of 1,216 students receiving this honor. Notice of it will be sent to the deans of grauuate schools in the United States and Canada in order that she may be considered for awards from th ese univers ities o r from other sources. Because th e numb er of Foundation grants are limited, th ese honorabl e mentions are given to deserving candidates. In orde r to become ,recipients of the fellowships, stud ents must be nominated by the facul ty members of th ei r respec ti ve coll eg~s. The list of eli gible students is narrowed considerably by th e careful screening of regional and national committees. It is the basic principle of the foundation to a id outstanding stud ents with fund s for graduate work in the hope that they may become teachers at th e college level. Hohn is the College's second fellow, ship winner. A ccording to one source, most small colleges see only one Fellow during its lifetime. Previously, Gwen Evans, an honor graduate in English, obtained a Fulbright to study in France. She later received a Woodrow Wilson fellowship and did graduate work at the University of Chicago.

Letters lo lhe Editor Quick Results In discussing their recent memo to th e faculty requesting that classes be dismissed on time, a student government representative comm en ted in la s t week's Beacon that the " real effect of this memo would be observed b y every student in his classes." This prophecy seems to have b een quickly fulfilled . We have already seen results . Many instructors have mentioned the memo to their classes - some jokingly , others seriou sly, but a lways with the same outcome - classes h ave been di smissed on time . Bells have been n ewly installed in Pickering , Conyng ham, and the C afe teria to signal the end of class periods. If this is a coincidence, it is certainly a fortunate one. Both the faculty, w hose students now usually arrive on time, and the s/1;1d ents, w ho avoid di sconcertingly rushing into class late, are happier. According to Student Government , most fac ulty members have accep ted the memo in the spirit it was intended a lthough a few felt that SG should have gone through the Administration rather than to the faculty directly. We feel that Student Government performed its function as the representative of the stud en t body in acq uain ting the professors wi th a stude nt problem tha t only they cou ld solve. One of the most va lua bl e features of a small college a tmosphere such as ours is the close relationship and rapport between studen ts and faculty. To demand that students go throu g h a middle-man to contact the faculty is to deny this rapport . We commend stude nt government for their direct and efficient action and hope the effects of this memo wi ll not fade with its immediacy. B.A.L. freedom Here, Now It is a common misconception that there is very little academic freedom on the Wilkes campus. Possibly the people w ho believe this fallacy h ave never tried to exercise this freedom . We have. T wo years ago there was an independent s tudent newspaper c;a ll ed the STUDENT VOICE . This p aper certainly was not p opular with the powers that b e. But, when the paper ran into a problem in finding a place to print, the ad mi nistration stepped in and a llowe d the paper to use th e Multilith machine in Chas2 H all. One student w ho exercised hi s academic fre edom is Steve Flood . Flood objected to the foundation of a CORE chapter on campus. He was warned that his s tand would bring th z wrath of the administration d own upon him . He received , instead, encouragement to continue to express his views. Many stu d ents believe that the administration controls and checks w hat is printed in the BEACON . Th is is untru e. The members of the administration read the paper the same time everyone else does - Friday afternoon. We are sure that thev would have it no other way. Editors of certain other college papers are surprised at the amount of freedom we have . M any schools have w hat are known as pre-readers. Pre- readers are faculty members w ho read and pass on the material that goes into the paper. Wilkes has no comm ittee to pass on w hat we print. Aca demic freedom exists . It is something we are sure of. And we feel secure in that sureness, a sureness based on long tradition . J.H.G. Oh Johnny! Oh Johnny! How You Can ... ? T oo mu ch thought has b een spent on the id ea o f w hat Joh nny wants. We h ave given him everything to " help him find himself." Yet one wonders whe th er or not Johnny is w illing to sea rch . From a ll available sources , on e is led to the conclusion that he is not. We h ave provided him w ith a Forum . Thi s gives him an opportunity to present a speech on any topic he so desires and ,to listen to other speeches given b y s tudents w ith , in most instances, the same am_ount of potential as Johnny h as. "'( et, recent meetings of the Forum have been poorly populated. . . O ver th e past two years, speec hes have been given on the haiku , jazz , airp lanes, German litera ture , existentialism, and home rule. What more does Johnny want? We have provided him wi th a Beacon, a colh:ge newspaper directed to the wants, needs, and capricious desires of Johnny. Yet , does Jo hnny comply? Does he offer his opinions, ideas, or thoughts? Does h e answer the pleas for his ideas , opinions and thoughts? We h ave likew ise provided him with a Manuscript, a literary magazine designed to give him the opportunity to have his literary efforts put in print. And now , the time has come for Manuscript to solicit material. And it w ill probably be as difficult for th em this year as it has been in the past. There seems to be more than a grain of w heat in Mill' s theory that if a ll of man's wants we re completely realized , he still would not be h a ppy. Yet, could it be at all possible that today's man doesn't want? I have surroun d ed myself with w o ndro us things. And h ave spent myself foolishly. I have bargained wi th humans over the price of Thing. And have lost my Self. A .P .

Four Exhibiting Seniors THE BALLOT BOX THE REPUBLICAN DILEMMA by Andrew Thorburn As the 1964 Presidential elec tion approaches, the situation in the Republican camp remains cloudy and crowded . In a few rron ths Republicans will have to settl e down to the business of deciding w ho will carry their banner in the coming election. They could deci de to establish a clear line in American politics and campaign on differences in basic party philosophy. If they decide upon this course of action, surely they will nominate Senator Barry Goldwater. The lib erals refer to him as " the proph et arisen in th e West," and a campaign between Goldwater a nd Presid ent Jo hnson will present the voters with a cle\lr r;4oic;~ l:i e tw ee n two conflicting and irreconc ilable interpretations o f the role of the Presid ent and extension of federal p ower. The Republican party could do th is , but it w ill not. It will , at convention time, turn not to the most Republican candidate, nor to the candidate who is most clearly within the Republican tradition , but to the politician most likely in their eyes to defea t President Johnson in th e elec tion . Rockefeller Resurgence Govern or N elson Rockefeller, the Republican front-runn er before his remarriage, seems destined to be, as he was in 1960, merely a lib eralizing influ ence on th e party and its platform. Of a ll th e Republican aspirants, hi s views are closes t to th e President, esp ecia ll y on fis cal matters. For this reason he fail s to app eal to th e grassroots Republicans of th e middle and far W es t. It is in these key areas of Republican support tha t hi s di vorce and remarriage have don e him th e most damage, and it is doubtful that he could swing th e north eas t away from Johnson. As Rockefeller lost much of his sup port after his divorce, Goldwater's candidacy gained momentum. Y et, even if nominated, there seems to be no way in w hich he could win the election. H is party w ill probably realize this fact by convention time. Goldwater's Problem Suppose, for exampl e, that Gold water swee ps, as Eisenhower anfi WHAT * Nixon did not, th e entire once-solid South, wins Florida and Maryla nd , and takes all the southwest and mountain states. In addition , if he carries Iowa , Ka nsas, N ebraska , Ma ine , N ew Hampshire, and V ermont , he will still need 58 more electoral votes to reach th e 270 votes required to win. There is, of course, no reason to expect Goldwater to sweep th e South , since curren t polls show Johnson w ith a commanding lead . At convention time, armed wi th such statistics, it seems likely that the northern Republicans will block Goldwater's nomination because it would insure another Republica n defea t. 4 t oqe til))e Q~qrge Rpi;npey W~§ a prominent dark horse. Now , however, he has lost much o f his home support, and Republica n leaders in Michigan favor Goldwater's nomination. H e has lost the support of Michigan 's N egro population and fail ed in his effort s to solve the state's financial problems. Losing support at home and unabl e to w ield much power at the convention , Romney 's chances seem slim in deed . The Others Other names are being tossed around. Harold Stassen, H enry Cabot Lod ge , M argare t Chase Smith, and P en nsy lvan ia 's own Governor W ill iam Scran ton all have some Republican suppor t. But, behind closed doors and intent on winning th e election, th e Republicans w ill probabl y turn to their one truly national fi gure, Rich a rd Nixon. A tire less campaigner in 1960, Ni xon has proven his votegetting abi li ty . A lthough he remains a n unannounc ed candidate, he has rece ntly begun to rustl e in the wings , deploring Goldwater's dogmatic poli tical stance a nd publicly refl ecting on the effect of Rockefelle r's remarriage on his chances. Faced w ith an array of regional ca ndidates, the P..epublican party w ill be reluctant to bypass Ni xon , and w ith the prima ri es unlikely to settle much, Ni xon will have the most powerful a rgument of all on his sid e - over 33 mill ion votes in 1960, a nd a margin of defeat of less than one per cent.

Sincerely Stanley S . G utin D ept. o f E nglish Here We Go Again D ear Ed itor: If Mr. Czajkowski found Mr . Thorburn 's colu mn " amusing", I find Mr. Cza jkowski's own rebuttal to be an un am using admission of his reac tiona ry desire to turn back the signifi ca nt progress a lrea dy made by both countries, the United States a nd the Soviet U nion, towa rds a mutua l, open declaration of peace and a promise of grea ter und erstanding. You flatly state , Mr. Cza jkowski , th a t " the Russians will never accept peace". There is no evid ence that you can poin t to that will uphold your sta tement. On the ot her hand, there has been , in recent years , more evidence to th e contrary. Even past events have proven your th esis fa lse. During the Second W o rld War, th e Russia ns lost more men in battle than any o ther natio n; war had completely broken the Ru ssian "warmongering" sp irit ( if suc h a spirit did indeed exist ). N o, Mr. C zajkowski, I do not believe that th e Ru ssian peopl e or th eir leaders would wi ll ing ly steer a course o f war, eve n for the sake of furth ering the acceptan ce o f ·their ideology. A notable example o f Russia 's relucta nce to face the horrible consequence of war is Mr. Khrushchev's backing down in N ovember 1962, w hen th e Cuba n Crisis threatened to become a cause fo r war. It was, of course, President Ke nnedy's position on the question that ma de Mr. Khrushchev realize that to challeng e the U nited States was se riou s business. And can you be so narrow-minded as to compl ete,ly discount th e partia l Nucl ear Weapons T est Ban Treaty , which renounc es tes ting in the three environm en ts? Of course , it is not a perfect assurance o f p eace. N eve rtheles3, it is th e bigg es t s tep ever taken towards universal peace endorsed by both nations. Furthermore, at the p resent time, cultura l and educationa l exchang e programs a nd the proposed plan for an American- Russian venture to the moon contin ue to contribute to increased cooperation and ulti ma tely to a more " Peacefu l Co-existence". When you say, "Th e Ru ssia ns w ill never accept peace", you mean th a t the Russia ns w ill never accept peace under our conditions, just as we w ill never accept the Russian bra nd of p eace.

(Continued on Page J ) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 20, 1964 ;A~~.R~A~iN SEES KAZAN'S LATEST AS PUBLIC DISPLAY OF PATRIOTISM by Andrew Thorburn During the McCarthy witch hunts in the early fifties. both Elia Kazan and Arthur Miller were called to testify before the House Unamerican Activities Committee in connection with their political activity in the thirties. Miller refused on principle to give the Committee other names to investigate. Kazan, however, not only gave the committee the fuel it needed, but also took a full page add in the New York Times to explain that his action was dictated by feelings of high patriotism. Now, in his last movie, America America, Mr. Kazan has once again made a public display of his patriotism. America America is the story of Kazan's great uncle and his dream to reach America . The film is insensitively made , overnarrated , and trite. The hero is born a Greek but lives under Here We Go Again (Continued from Page 2) Turkish oppression. (In Anatolia the Greeks are suppressed, but not as much as the Armenians.) Stravo's character is never clearly delineated , and few of his actions are ex plainable within the film. H e has, for exampl e, enough idealism not to stop associating with his Armenian fri end despite the possible repercussions, but later has little visible reaction to his father' s fawning friend sh ip with the local Armenian bureacrat. Al though he gets momentarily angry, the incident has no apparent effect on his relationship with his father. M y words, I a m confident, are not sctfficicnt to convince you. Therefore, I wou ld like to quote the words of a Russian student, majoring in English a t Moscow University, who w rote the followi ng : ·· I heard President Johnson 's speech to Congress and hope that he will follow President Kennedy and in his turn will do much for peace . . .

" In Ier -Organizational Cooperation Displayed 'Silver Competition' Deadline Nears There is only one week left in Reed 6 Barton's "Silver Opinion" Scholarship Competition. The competition, in which th e College ha s been selected to participate, is open to all und ergraduate women on this campus and o ffers ove r $7,000 in scholarships and awards. Th e Firs t Grand Award is a $500 cash scholarship; Second Grand A wa rd a $300 scholarship; third a $250 scholarship; fourth, fifth, and six th awards $200 sc holarships each; and seventh, eighth , ninth , and tenth awards $100 scholarships each. In addition , there will be one hundred other awards consisting of sterling sil ver , fine china, and crystal with a retail value of approx imately $50 each. In th e "Silver Opinion Competition " twelve designs of sterling and eight designs of both china and crystal are illustrated. The entrant simply lists the three bes t combinations of sterling, china, and crystal from those shown. Scholarships and awards will be made to those entries matching o r coming closest to the unanimous selections of tabl e-setting editors from three of the nation 's leading magazines. Mary Russin a nd MiMi Wilson are the Student Representatives conducting the competition for Reed & Barton . Those interested shou ld contact Mary or MiMi for entry blanks and for complete details concerning th e competition rul es. Both also have samples of the twelve Reed & Barton ste rling patterns featured in the competition so that entrants can see how these s terling pa tterns actually look. Through the opinions on silver design expressed by college women competing for the scholarships, Reed & Barton will compile a valuable library of ex pressions of young American taste. Page 3 Ewing's Visit To Bussia Enlightening by Lois Petroski At the Forum 's last session, Linda Ewing, senior French major, related personal discoveri es from what she considers the " highlight of her year abroad " - a journey into the Sov iet Union. At the opportunity ma de available by th e French University Touring Office, w hich has its office in Paris where Linda was pursuing stud ies, the young woman traveled through M oscow, Leningrad , and Warsaw, invariably gaining knowledge and pl easure. Linda arrived at the lntourist Hotel, the lodgings most frequ ented by foreign touris ts in Moscow, after a SOhour train ride w hi gh she considered somew hat tiresome. ,'With constant quests, both day and night, for the pa pers and passports of eight passengers traveling in one second-class car," mu ses Linda. "one has difficulty acquiring rest." She was ha ppy to a rriv e at the hotel and to begin her tour. Although the scheduled trip which began at the Leni n Museum was proving educational, Linda and a group of studen ts decided to venture through th e city a lone in order to gain "a most intimate view of th e mos t interesting sight in Moscow the M oscovite himself." This individual, and more speci ficall y the "Joe C oll ege" in Moscow Uni versity, consti•uted the greatest part of Linda's talk at the Forum mee tin g. Linda gained insight into the attitudes and beliefs of the Russian scholar. During her stay, Premier Khrushchev denounced abstract art. In the debate which followed his ban, one student stated that "it is fine that he ( referring to Khrushchev) should take an interest in art, but he himself is not an artist nor a qualified art critic." Another noted that "good art is need ed , not the patriotic sensationalism that has so long been forced upon us." Also last Spring, S. A . Vorinin, ed itor of the literary journal Neva , tried to expound the new party line against poetry readings of ·the youth . Students met Vorinin with loud derision. Linda Ewing No Physical 'Type' Our traveler pointed out tha t no " ty pical " Russian physical type wa s present there, chiefly because M oscow is the melting pot of the Sovie t Union. Because of th e num erous free scholarships awarded by the Russian government , many foreigners constitute the s tudent body. CAMPUS NEWS WILKES HOSTS MUSIC FESTIVAL Music D e.pt.

The event will feature 20 colleges a nd universities, 150 voices, and a full o rchestra. SEEN THROUGH A CLOUD OF SMOKE by John B. Hall Hoot is Nanny, what is She? First o f all, I'd like to congratulate th e Pike Town Three on their recent appearance on W ARM 's Hoo tenanny. A few weeks ago, th e Three and the N ewcomers from the University of Scranton were featured by th e station on its evening show. Th e group did a few numbers for w hich th ey are known on campus and also several which I haven 't heard them do before . A s · I listened to th em, I began thinking about the fi eld o f folk sing ing in general. A s one well-known sociology professor would probably say, folk songs are the songs o f folk. U sually they deal with some protest, with some religion , or with some form of transportation . Since people have always liked to sing, folk songs have been around for a long tim e, in many cases handed down from generation to gen eration. According to the Old School, true folk songs should have no definit e a uthor , but should simply have " happened." To the majority of folk singers, however , this is not necessary. Many write thei r own songs. P ete Seegar and Bob Dylan have written many " folk songs" that have been incorpora ted into th e folk singers' song bags. Some of ou r own campus tal ent has turned out some original material that is worthy of notice. One term that is associated with folk music is "hootenanny ." This is neith er a cross between an owl and a goat, nor is it a goat from Scotland. The term refers to what we might call a "jam session" among folk singers. I understand that suc h a congrega tion takes place down at th e Snack Ba r (affectionately called Gerard's Villa) eve ry Friday afternoon. If you haven't dropped in on it yet, you might try it. Wilkes is by no means devoid of talent in the fi eld of folk music. Besides the Pike Town Three, the campus has the Warner Trio, Barry Singer, Jody Morrison, Nels ' Seagren, and many more. However , despite such observation , Linda is certain that to describe the average Soviet s tudent as "impatient to break the bonds of Sovie t tyranny would be a gross error." Through her many associations with him , she found a n individual more sa ti sfi ed than rebellious. H e feels that his leaders' policies a re essential to the betterment of his nation, that socialism is basically good , that the real criterion of a good society is the common ownership of property. Letter From Russia This yea r Linda received a letter from a Soviet scholar, named Valery, who presen tly is teaching English in his " school practice" in Russia. Val ery wrote , more than two months after the death o f President Kennedy , " W e we re a nd still are much aggrieved over th e assassination of President Ken nedy. It 's sad that only after someone's death do we appreciate him . H e ha s don e much for humanity and ever will live in peoples' memories." Valery listened to - Johnson 's ..address to C ongress. H e h~'{>es that he will follow President ,Kennedy and in turn do much for J1eace all over the world." A WS Book Drive l\.

Matt Himlin of the Rejects was the high scorer in the game with 20 points. Many upsets characterized dorm action with a three way tie emerging after this week's play. The League leaders, Butler Hall and Gore Hall. both with unblemished records , met head on in a game which was to set the stage for one of the most exciting weeks in Intramural play. Gore hall jumped off to a 9-5 lead in the first period, but Butler Hall quickly rebounded on the stalward offensive play of Ed Comstock to take the lead at half 16-15. Larry Gubanich then took charge of Gore's offense and was <1ided by J. Holmstrom and B. Mu lford , and Gore rega ined th e lead a t,, the end of the third period and from this point they were never headed as they w ent on to beat Butler 32-28. Gore's only obstacle to the Dorm Championship was once b eaten Butler Hall. But Butler Hall had no inten tion of relinquishing their title as Dorm champions. In the first quarter Barre jumped out to a 7-4 lead, and this was the closest that Gore came for the rest of the evening as Dunn and Houliston split 30 points in leading Earre to a 55-27 upset. Larry Gubanich was high for the losers with 11. With Barre 's win over Gore the Dorm League was thrown into a three-way tie for first place between Butler, Gore and Barre. Each team sports a 6-1 record and will meet thi s week in a round robin playoff to decide which will represent the Dorm League against the high flying Trojans.

Arrang ed by Arthur J. Hoover, director of stud ent activities, this Seminar has been crea ted to help those stud ents participating in the financial programs to better und erstand them. At th e mee tings Hoover w ill acquaint th e stud ents with other possible sources of financial aid , and he will review th e overa ll financi a l aid progra m, its requirements, and th e policies wh ich govern it. H e will also answer any questions relative to the program. The purpose of th e double time is to insure an opportunity for all students to attend th e Seminar. Since th ere are approximately 500 men and women in volved , the meetings had to be split to accommodate them. Hoover said that it was preferabl e that commuting students attend the Tuesday mee ting and th a t the dormitory students mee t W ednesday. This eliminates the transportation problem that any commuters might have, although th ey ca n attend either se,ssi_on. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Letters to the Editor Editorial ... GIVE THE CLUBS A CHANCE The hard core of our extracurricular activities is the clubs. Unlike the legislative bodies, the classes, the athletic teams, and the service organizations, they are interested in the professional and intellectual development of the individual. And after all, what is the main purpose of college? The College has recognized their importance by scheduling an hour each week when there are no classes so that the clubs may function effectively. To fulfill their purposes the clubs must have money. Their activities necessitate films , speakers, books, trips, and special equipment. A lack of funds would cause them to limit their activities, and therefore the pragmatic education of the school's club members. This year many of the clubs have reached a cns1s. To effectively carry on their activities , they need money. Since as a whole they receive little financial assistance from either the College or the Student Government, they must raise their own funds . Each year, this becomes more difficult. In past years, the clubs were able to make a reasonable profit from almost any dance they ran, and fund raising was no problem. Most clubs were able to subsist on earnings from the dances and their dues . But in order to improve the dances as social functions , the Student Government has passed a set of rules that has decreased the fund raising potential. The clubs have resorted to bake sales, car washes and the like. As the number of the activities increases, their effectiveness decreases. What once were lucrative projects have become only marginal money makers. We must find a solution before this situation degenerates further. One suggested solution is for Student Government ·to subsidize the clubs. But we realize that this would be impossible for various reasons. Another better suggestion, is to give the clubs a chance at the more profitable fund raising activities. The concessions at athletic events, formal dances , special events, etc., could be made into a rotating system whereby each club would have an opportunity to have a concession. When a project like the Intercollegiate Hootenanny comes along, let the clubs in on it. True, a system of this type would lead to some extra paper work, but certainly the result would be worth it.

Concerned Reader Views NSA Editori al The snide editorial from the Colleg ian , " NSA Ab andoned," regrettably reprinted by the Beacon, was so biased in presenting its facts that I felt another view must be aired: 1. NSA defended the right of Japenese studen ts to protest th e v isit of form er Presid ent Eisenhower. Unlike our sedate, middle-of-the-road citizens, those of other cou ntries are more adama nt in their protes ts. They believe in their v iews more s trongly than our "protesters," thus American newspapers always call these protests "ricits." 2. a. NSA pra ised Castro "s ed ucational reforms justly. The Cuban leader , however much we hate and disagree with him , has made good reforms. No government is all bad, as we feel his is, or all good, as we feel ours is. b. NSA condemned Batista 's suppression of academic fre edom only because Batista did suppress academic freedom . No politics were involved, just a concern for the Cuban students under his reign. 5. a. NSA criticizes the United States. D on' t we allow that anymore? At va rious times the following peopl e have been very critical of the U .S .: Washin gton, Lin coln, Jefferson, Wilson , R oosevelt, E isenhower, Kennedy, and Goldwater. Are they all Communist-sympath izers? b. NSA criticizes Spain a nd Po rtugal. True, they are our allies an d are a nti -Communist, but Spain a nd Portugal are also dictatorships . The U nited States is supposed to be for democracy , but apparently only when it suits its purposes. Otherw ise they'll suppo rt any undemocratic, cruel, repressive dictatorship , as long as it's "a nti-Communist." 6. The McCarran-Walter Act, which NSA opposes, su pposedly regulates C omm unist activity in our country . In fact, though , it not only hinders Communists but an indeterminable number of other Americans. It is unconstitutional and inflicts a strong censorship on all Am ericans.

THE BALLOT BOX Lest We Forget by Vince McHale Refl ecting upon the recent death o f Genera l MacArthur and our confused and muddled si tuation in South Vietnam, I cannot help but bring to my mind the w hole problem of our past and present involvement in Korea. Will Vietnam meet the same fate, hopelessly div ided? It has been a lmos t eleven years since th e signing of an armistice agreement at Panmunjom , July 26, l 953, and divid ed Korea technically is still at war. A peace trea ty has neve r bee n signed, nor is there any real hope tha t one will be signed in the forseeable future. The 2½-mile wide demilitarized zone along th e 38th parallel crackles w ith tension a nd ve ry often an occasional burst of gunfire aimed at the U .N. patrols. Th e weekly meeting of the Joint Military Armistice Commission is al most wholly taken up with the problem of charges and countercharges of violations of th e armistice agreement. Since 1953, there has been a total o f 8,3 19 alleged violations recorded for both sides. Considering each s ide separately, the United Nations Command in South Korea is charged by the Communists in the North w ith 6,044 v iolations , while th e U.N. Command has registered 2,275 by the forces of the N o rth. Current Stalemate Unsa tisfactory as the current stalemate may appear, after interviewing a recent U.S. soldi er returnee, this w riter found that the troops in Sou th Korea consider it better than fighting . In retrospect, it seems likely that the North Korean Communist attack on South Korea was based upon a miscalculation , for it occurred in an area where the W est's "vital interests" had not been clearly defined. Secretary of State Acheson, in a speech to the National Press Club in Janu a ry, 1950, exclud ed specifically South Ko rea from th e perimeter which in case of attack the U .S . would defend unila terally. The withdrawal of U.S . troops from South Korea must have gone far to convince the Com munists that th ey could take our policy at face value. Looking over the past records during the 37 month s of active fi ghting, the price to restore th e statu s quo amounted to 157,530 A merican casualties, including 33,629 battle deaths a nd 20,617 deaths from other causes. Appro ximately 55,000 American servicemen are station ed in South Korea today , a nd the Sou th Korean Arm y total s another 600,000 men. From all indi ca tions, N orth Korea arra ys abou t half that many along the dividin g line, but th ese forces are buttressed by th e proximity of Communist Chi na. All indications, howeve r, reveal no signs that the North Koreans are preparing to la un ch a new offensive. "Police Action" As a n aftennath of the " police action, " South Korea remains largely dependent upon United States aid for its survival. An estima ted $4 billion in U .S . military and economic aid has been poured into the country over the last decade, but unemployment and poverty a re endemic. Am erica has encountered many difficu lti es in trying to transform South Korea into a show place of democracyincluding a period of military dictators hip. Governmental p rob I e m s still do not appear to be resolved. When coupled to th e si tuation in Sou th Vietnam, perhap s this is an example of the limits to success th e U .S . can expect for its milita ry efforts in A sia. T . R . Fehrenbach , in writing This Kind of War ( 1963 ) ,seems to spell ou t the reality of the Korean truce: "In exchange for peace along th e parallel. the United States agreed to accept the R epubli c of Korea as its ward , perha ps forever . .. In exchange, Sy ngman Rh ee agreed not to obs truct th e annistice . . . Th ere was no more war but there was no peace. There was no victory. It was call ed ceasefire ." ' 9. NSA condemns our involvement in th e plot to overthrow C as tro. If our ego and prid e and investments were not at stake, we would recognize the C astro government, admit that the revolution in Cuba succeeded, and realize that Cuba holds no terrors for us. What about Hungary? Tibet? Poland? Where has all our " huma nita rianism" gone when the only country we acti vely want to liberate is Cuba? 10. NSA condemned the resumption of nuclear testing. We now have a test ban treaty. Were Kennedy and Congress a ll dupes of C ommunl!m, or were th ey trying to secure peace for us all? The Virginia Military Institute condemned NSA for being too "radical." But we must remember, wha t is "radical" to a Southern military school is not necessa rily ra dical to millions of intelligent, non-Southern, non-military minds. The fact that a s tudent newspa per cou ld believe in such insane reasoning as quoted in the editorial is shocking. Somew here, in the back of my mind , I thought that students were supposed to be informed human beings who believed in peace, truth, and love. That is w hat the editors of the Beacon a ppa rently do not beli eve in. Concerned Reader Cue and Curta in Tryouts D ear Ed itor: Is it now the policy of Cue and Curtain to cast a play without hold ing public tryouts? I have believed, (perhaps I am wrong), tha t the Cue and Curtain is a theatre group designed to give studen ts an opportunity to display their hidden talents. It appears, through several phone calls to select indiv idu a ls and the holding of a secret meeting, that a cast was formed w hich includes o nl y those privileged few w ho were contacted . This is ce rtainly not conducive to fostering new tal en t, and if th ese tactics continue the future of Cue and Curtain certainly w ill not brighten.

The all-day meetings began on April 2 in Stark 109 and will continue every Thursday until April 30. The committee hopes to enlist the aid of the community to establish facilities and information centers, which would resolve this problem. The chairman is the Reverend Burke Rivers, pastor of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. Dr. Francis Michelini is the seminar chairman.

This is th e team· s best r ecord in several years. The squad seems to be a strong o ne once again this season with the following lettermen returning to bolste r the attack: Don Austin , Bill Douglas, Fred Smithson, Doug Yeager, Gary Einhorn , the team's captain. the ever returing Owen Frances, and Douglas was undefeated in singles matches last yea r a nd appears to figure as th e mainstay of the present team . N ewcomer Dave C losterman is Intramural Softball League Is Delayed expected to fill one of th e open positions on the team, with Doug Y eager, O wen Frances, and Simon Russin contesting for th e other vacancy. Good balance, sufficient depth , and expected improvement from last year's playe rs, it is hoped , will make this yea r's squad a formidable threa t in th e M .A .C. northern division. The first match , slated against Albright C oll ege, was ca ncelled because of cold wea ther. Tomorrow afternoon at 1, the Colonels take on Lycoming in the home opener for Wilkes. The Colonel netman w ill be out to aveng e the 6-3 loss suffered a t the ha nds of the Warriors last season. The Wilkesmen should have another good year under the leadership of Coach Thomas McFarland . D ue to the poor enthusiasm displayed by the members of the student body who failed to participate in the Intramural Softball Leagu e by not submitting team rosters, the starting date for the first game will have to be set back. Originall y scheduled to start by April 15th, the league will be forced to delay action. A s soon as the requ ired rosters are submitted the games can be scheduled and will get underway. Coach John R eese urges that rosters be submitted as quickly as possi ble to th e gym office.

Both H erman and Antinnes a re mat coaches at local hi gh schools, and Antinnes is , in a ddition, a head foo tball coach.

Now assuming the role o f has eball coac h at Kingston Hi gh School , Ferris will fini sh out hi s s tint th Pre before makin g th e move to Wi lkes. Ferris' move to the Colonel fac ult y is by no means a tota ll y new a ffili ation with Wilkes. H e first came into contac t w ith the school as a stu dent and grad uated in 1956. Upon graduation F erris turned to Bucknell Uni versity w here he received his Master 's degree in adm in istration in 196 1. While a t Wilkes, Ferris compiled a record of awards which would be the envy of any at hlete. On th e basketball cou rt he proved himsel f by having been chosen the first C olonel cager to receive th e Outstanding Basketball Playe r Award. In his junior year, Ferris was reci pi ent of the Howie D avis Trophy a nd at the end o f his senior yea r he was chosen as the BEACON Athlete o f the Y ear. H e was a lso presented with numerous other honors and was a frequent " Athlete o f the Week" recipi ent. Ferri s a lso contributed his efforts to the s:>ecer team a nd the baseball team whi le a t Wilke s. Ferris assum ed th e post as head basketball coach here a t Wilkes during thi s past season. H e has long guid ed the socce r team in th eir efforts and has produced impressive records w hile at th e helm o f the hooters sq uad .

Jim Ferris In addition to retaining hi s jobs in soccer a nd bas ketba ll , Ferris will also becom r. assistant baseball coach nex t yea r under head baseball mentor Rollie Schmidt, a noth er former Kingston teacher-coach. Ferris, a math teacher a t Kingston , is a lso one of the top sandlo t baseball players in W yoming Vall ey . H e is a regular member o f the Swoyerville club w hich last year won the Wyoming Leag ue championship. As head coach o f th e cagers thi s year, Ferris was faced wi th a , needless to say, challenging year. Taking this drawback into conside ration, F erris ex hibited a hi ghly commend a ble d isplay of sk illful leadership . In an attem pt to reb uild th e squad Ferris is faced w ith a long hard job, but the BEACON is looking hopefully to a n improvement in the cage record . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jed M iss G enevieve Bla tt , Sta te Secretary o f Internal Affai rs an d candida te fo r Uni ted S ta tes Senate , in an exclusive inte rv iew with th e Beacon, pl edged that she would be in favor of outright grants to depressed a reas. She expla ined that the present system o f ma tching grants is ina dequa te because the areas that need it don 't have the money to ma tch. She further stated that she thought there was a great need for a domestic peace corps as supported by President Johnson. She said, "We can put boys and girls to work training in libraries, ALL WE WANT IS YOUR BLOOD hospitals, schools, settlement houses, courts, children's homes, parks, and playgrounds." She also pledged support for research into new uses for coal saying, "I feel most deeply about the need for the expansion of research and development of new uses for coal and its by-products, and I shall direct my best effort toward this goal. We know in the Department of Internal Affairs' Topographic and Geologic Survey that a breakthrough is near in discovering new applications for this resource so vital to the economic health of the hard-pressed coal regions. I shall support federal assistance for this program." Musmanno's Chances T urning to th e political scene, Miss the Vol . XXV/11 , No. 23 Blatt stated emphatically that the ma in purpose of her presence in the D emocrati c p rim a ry fight is to insu re a D emocra tic vi ctory in November. She feels Judge Michael Musmanno has a very poor chance of beating Senator Hugh Scott in the general election. She went on to sa y she would have supported certa in other candid a tes ha d th ey been nominated by the D emocratic pa rty orga nization, including Sta te Sena tor C asey o f Scra nton. She strongly urged· Judge Musmanno to give up his judicial post if he wishes to make a bid for office. When asked whether she would resign her own state post, she stated, " There is a world of difference between an ad- ministrative and a judicial post." She pointed out that legal canons require a judge participating in partisan politics to resign. There are no such requirements of an administrative or legislative office. Miss Blatt clarified her position on a id to education on the primary, secondary, and collegiate levels by saying she w as strongly in favor of fed eral aid to all .

This is the very first time an eight-piece band - four singers, four musicians - will play for a Friday night dance. The Economics Club is presenting the Endells, a rock'n roll band from Baltimore, at the Friday night dance. The band', costing $400 (bands the past have rarely been paid more than $100 for a weekly dance at Wilkes), has played at Cornell, Penn State, Lehigh, Dickenson, and Bucknell. This is the very first time the Endells have played in Wyoming Valley. Evidently, the Economics Club is entering a rather passionate love. affair with Chance. And it is probably the very first time one would want his love affair well-attended. It is the very first time that admission to a Friday night dance will be one dollar. Four hundred dollars must be. made; Chance must be. paid. The Economics Club is heavily publicizing this dance. Posters have been sent to King's, Misercordia, Scranton University, Marywood, Penn State. Extension, and Wilkes-Barre Business College. Local radio stations and newspapers have also received releases about the dance. An all-out effort has been made by the Economics Club to have as many in attendance as possible. NOW, IT IS UP TO YOU. The Economics Club is taking a chance. And the reason for the flirtation with Chance? Joe D eMarco, President of the Economics Club: " Students complain that there's not enough s~ial life on ca~pus. By bringing in. the Endells from Baltimore, the Economics Club has tned to arouse enthusiasm among the students for school affairs. Should the dance become a failure, Jet's not hear about social life on campus, for we are to blame, and not the administration." The same case may be presented by those who have endeavored and succeeded in taking the Cinderella Ball out of the gym. If the Friday night dance this week bums up, no phoenix will arise from the ashes. A. P. !n GOT 15 MINUTES? Twice each year, we the students of Wilkes College are ~ked to donate one pint of blood to the Red Cross Blood Bank. As we rapully approach April 24, the date scheduled for second semester's blo?d donor day, it. would be well for us to review both the success of the plan 10 the past and its outlook for the. future. Since its inception, this program has continued to be more successful each year. Last semester, we reached our peak in donations, with appro11;imately 200 pints being given. Hopeful as these results may seem, they are still a far cry from our potential when we realize that we have 1300 students on campus. Interest in the program generated through clubs is perhaps the best way to insure the success of the plan. In the past, the Circle K Club has done an excellent job by encouraging almost 100% of its membership to donate blood. Their enthusiasm alone however, is not enough to insure complete succ;-ess. Their blueprint must be' followed by other students and' groups. ' .. Failure to participate in the program is actually without excuse, unless .of course the prospective donor is physically incapable of making the domi'tion. The process itself is quick and painless with the donor actually benefiting, for it has been medically proven that periodic donation of blood is good for the body. Another point to keep in mind is that, by making a donation to the blood bank, a person is entitled to free use of blood not only for himself and his family, but also any friends he wishes to aid. The benefits are great while. the sacrifice is small (15 minutes of one's time), so why not make Blood Donor Day of April 24 the most successful that has taken place to date. J.J .K. CONDOLENCES The entire Beacon staff extends its sincere condolences to "Pop" Clewell on the death of his wife. During the past four years we have worked closely with "Pop" and now feel that we share his loss. W e are certain that this sentiment expresses the general campus feeling.

Dear Editor: I would like to go on record as publicly condemning what I think is an insult to the student body of this college. This insult is in the form of an infantile booklet entitled Things I Should Know About Me. Since the booklet was sent to prospective students, it is likely that most of you haven 't seen a copy. The booklet proclaims, in no uncertain terms, the importance of wash ing and brushing teeth daily; instructs us to keep our rooms and persons neat; informs us . that cheating is wrong and that cotjrfesy and good manners right; it re~irtds us that our teachers love us anll:,1 " are , after all, human beings" ; it declares that our futures will require patience and good taste. The booklet goes on in this vein for ni ne asinine pages, every now and then fle cked with a bit of humor (as if th e idiocy of the book weren' t humor enough) as in th e aphorism "I am not couth when I 'cuth'". The whole level of the booklet is that of a second-grade primer. I wonder what caliber of student the authors of thi s booklet anticipate. C ertainly it is not one wit h a normal upbring- J oh n Si ckler , Rog er Squ ie r, Da ve Co ral, Todd Gibb s, Bob Koz inski, ing and normal intelligence. I cannot believe that this booklet would have appeared in any college other than Wilkes for only here is the dignity and in telligence of the student demeanored to so base a level. It's time we received the courtesy due us and that booklets like Things I Should Know About Me remained unprinted . Harris Tobias Dear Editor: I have just read the latest publication to come out of thi s institution of higher learning, and am considering asking for my $5 application fee and the past two years tuition back, on the grounds that I was falsely mislead into thinking this was a place of higher learning ; namely a college. The publication seems to be directed toward those children who, upon reaching the second grade and having the impulse to pick their nose, are sharply told that it is not the thing to do, and they should have learned that in the first grade. Having commi tted this and other similar laws to memory some years ago, and having finished at least 12 years of schooling , I no longer consider myself in the same classification with the people who 'IIE'IVPOli'l . f SHADES OF GREY by Jeff Gallet In listening to the vociferous opponen ts in the civil rights dispute , one might come to believe that the issues are absolute, and all the individual has to do is to choose one of the three major positions. (Which I will refer to as segregationist, conservative, and liberal, for want of a better name.) I rejec t this idea. I reject the idea that any extreme position should dictate my actions. What the advocates of these positions say would be fine if they were di scussing vague philosophical problems or mathematical questions, but there is little room for ivory tower reasoning in ' practical politics. 'P 6lilical · questions must be decided on practical considera tions as well as the ethical and philosophical aspects. The liberals tell us we must have complete integration now - send the troops down south, bus the chi ldren in N ew York , investigate every business, put a Negro on every block. What is going to happen if we do as they say? Are the troops goin g to make th e bigot love his new schoolmate? Is bussing going to guarantee a better education to all , as we are told? Does moving a block above your economic and educationa l means create acceptance or does it add to the very stereotype that you are trying to destroy? I believe that the Negro or any other citizen has the same right to equal housing, employment, education , and opportunity as any other citizen has. There is no question in my mind that the liberals and I have the same goals in this situation . The qu estion is the means of accomplishing these goals. I do not believe that simple legal and political equali ty will be suffic ient. There is a social equality that is as important. This social equality will never be achieved as lon g as the "liberals" go running through society like a blindfold ed bull in a china shop, flailing out a t every windmill and Mummers' parade. This is not to say that all militancy is wrong. Direct action in the North as well as in the South is necesssary. But possibly there should be a little pragmatism sprinkl ed in with the idealism. Actions should be evaluated as to what will be accomplished, rather than whether or not they are philosophically in th e right general direction. The conservative argument that the state should deal w ith almost all civil rights questions is insupportable. Their main arguments were written during a different tim e in our history . The nation is no longer made up of thirteen scattered states with poor communications. We are a large closelyknit nation. A nation committed to equality and justice. We cannot tolerate anyone repressing the rights of our citizens. The conservatives always quote the works of Jefferson, but these quotes are out of the context of the time. I have no doubt tha t Jefferson , if he were alive today , would be a strong advocate o f equal rights. The segregationist position that any citizen is less equal than any other because of race is so ridiculous I will not even dignify it with comment. I am not trying to discourage the extremists from expressing their opinions, but I am asking the public, the average man, to think and act with reason and not to get involved in th e strong emotional tides that are enveloping our country.

I would like to say this in answer to Things I Should Know About Me. perhaps there are a few things this institution should know about me. First of all ,I come from a home where we have always had showers, soap, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, and not merely as curiosity pieces. I have finished the second grade and am supposed to have the intelligence and ability to handle the work of an American College Sophomore. I feel that it is an insult to me and the gr'ossest hypocrisy on the part of f\lie college to expect me to have finisji~d 12 years of schooling , have befter than average intelligence, some degree of ability in learning, and yet bring up a matter of "not being couth to cuth ," or being nice to my campus friends, as if I had never heard of them before. Perhaps a title that would best sum up the stupidity and hypocrisy would be something like "You're Now Men and Woman, Kiddies." Theodore J. Gourley, Jr. SO YOU WANT SOME MONEY D ear Editor, The editorial in the Beacon of April JO, entitled, " Give the Clubs a Chance" indicates an apparent importance of money to campus clubs. But, does an active program which encompasses the features you have listed really require a great deal of money? I don 't think so. However, because you have pointed out a situation which you believe is affecting the operation of many clubs, a special meeting to discuss this " money problem w ill be, held on organizations will send reprfsentatives Wednesday, April 29. I hope that all and be prepared to discuss their particular financial sta tus. Sincerely, James Jones, Treasurer Student Government POSITION CLARIFIED D ear Editor: As a result of complaints from, and suggestions by, the studen t body, Student Government formulated a group of policies concerning dances. The policies were put into effect in September in an effort to satisfy these requests, and to improve the quality of the dances. We have repeatedly asked for , an in most cases received , the co-operation of the campus organizations holding dances. The policies are: I . A COAT CHECK with numbered tags, must be provided and attended all evening - at no cost to the students. However, tips may be accepted. 2. Dances are open to COLLEGE STUDENTS ONLY. Activity cards are to be checked at the door. Students from other colleges are welcome. A college student may, of course, bring a date or guest who is a high school student. 3. All men must wear SPORT JACKETS. Sweaters are NOT acceptable. 4. It is the responsibility of the organization sponsoring the dance to enforce these policies. Failure to do so will be taken into account in the awarding of future dates. Since these policies came about as a result of requests by the student body, we are once again asking for the support of all organizations in enforcing them. Thank You, Steve Paradise Chairman, Calendar Committee THANK YOU D ear Editor: I would like to take this time on behalf of Student Government to publicly thank captain-elect Tom Trosko of the football team for his capable assistance in coaching the Student Government football team . It is without question that the time he spent with us proved to be a valuable a sset toward our victory last Friday night. Thanks again, Tom . Sincerely yours, Ron Czajkowski �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 17, 1964 BINDER: SIN, STARVATION, SALVATION by Andrea Templar Barrett F. Binder joined the College's English Department at the beginning of the present semester. On his first teaching assignment, Mr. Binder finds the College an ideal ground to test his methods. Having earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Pennsylvania and his Masters degree at Columbia University, and having augmented his education by attending Columbia University's Law School, he is able to compare the teaching methods of the large university and the small college. Mr. Binder feels that the small college places a greater emphasis on teaching than on scholarship, a situation opposite to that at a large university. ··1 don"t minimize the importance of scholarship, but I believe that a good teacher must be a scholar, and to be a capable scholar he must also be a good teacher. Teaching requires that the student and teacher learn from each other. The teacher-student relationship on the small college level permits this interaction which is so difficult to attain at the large university. In choosing English as his major field , Binder turned from chemistry, a field equally attractive to him. He found literature to be a " peaceful involvement, " and its importance to people, immeasurable. He believes that good literature is not written for the academic elite, but for great groups of people. His goal is to promote this realization through his teaching. He earned his Masters degree in 17th Century English literature, writing his thesis on "Sin and Irony in George Herbert's The Temple". In this field he is particularly concerned with Shakespeare, Donne, and Milton. In 19th Century Russian literature, his other chief area , he is interested in Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Goncharov, Gogol , and Pushkin. Writes "Guitar Operas" Mr. Binder spends considerable time writing music and has written what he calls "guitar operas". These are stories without words, the stories being told by the tones and rhythms of his electric guitar. INTRUSION one of his Barrett F. Binder first compositions, is a tale of loneliness. Single notes reflect the quiet is created by a similar theme, played despondency of a man viewed from a loudly and harshly. As the figure condistance.

The picnic, IEC's first project, will be held in Kirby Park on Sunday, April 19, from 1-6 p.m. There will be sports and hootenanny groups for entertainment, and refreshments may be bought at the concession stand. From 6-9 p .m. the Starfires will play at a dance in the Wilkes Gym. FLY FOR ZOES IDC'S second annual Fly for Zoes Day, cancelled from last week, will be held Sunday, April 19, at the Forty Fort Airport. Tickets may be purchased at the airport for a mere fee of $2. by Ruth Partilla The nam es of the eleven candidates for Cinderella, chosen by student body vote in last week's assembly have just been released. Lorraine Dyers, Jane Edwards, Barbara Gallagher, Rose Hagel , Barbara Lore, Ginny Mason , Rachel Phillips. Joan Pitney, Gail Roberts, and Jo Signorelli will vie for the title. The Cinderella Ball, to be held this year on May 15, will take place at the Gus Genetti Hotel ( formerly the Hotel Redington) in Wilkes-Barre instead of at the gynasium, as in former years. Voting for Cinderella will take place Friday , April 24, along with class elections. Jerry Jean Baird, general chairman of the affair, has announced that the week-end will also include a concert by the Smothers Brothers, popular comedy folk singers. Those students who purchase tickets for the concert will be able to attend the Cinderella Ball for the price of only two dollars per couple. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• College (happiness) approaches to comfort him. The opening theme, originally somber, now portrays happiness, for it is now played in a major key. That is, the musical keys are attitudes, two ways of viewing a situation, with sadness and with happiness. The two characters disagree, their anger re• sounding in electric vibrations and emotions. The Intruder, failing to cheer his lonely friend, leaves, and the theme takes up as it had begun, single notes reflecting a man's loneliness. Mr. Binder makes multiple recordings of some of his music. He tapes the melody , and then records the harmony to it. H e and some fri ends once recorded an album called "Music for the Mentally Unbalanced." Its cuts included "Rock around the Clock" , played as a sonata, and the " Hungarian Dance", set to a rock'n roll beat. H e also mentioned having once created a successful ensembl e during his teens , a jazz group called The Salvation Army Band. D etails on this , however , were not in abundance.

Since the weigh t limit was 155 pounds, he dieted until he qualified. By that time he was nearly too weak to row. Finally he adjusted and managed to make the team. The value of this feat may be questionable , because his crew lost all but one race - the one the other team lost by default. Speaks of Kennedy Mr. Binder spoke of his admiration for the late President Kennedy. " Wh en I was an undergraduate, I took little interest in politics. I'm ashamed to say that I never even took a political science or history course in college. But when Kennedy came to office my attitude changed. H e generated in me an awareness of and an enthusiasm for what was going on in America and in the world. His actions mad e me see the importance of equal rights, compassion, energy, open mindedness, and dignity.
