Miss Baird, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard R. Baird of West Pittston, was attired in a floorlength gown of white lace and peau de soie, embroidered with pearls, sequins, and crystal beads. A graduate of West Pittston High School, Miss Baird will graduate in June with a B.S. degree in business administration. During her years at the College she has been active in Student Government, Theta Delta Rho, Assembly Committee, Cue and Curtain, Associated Women Students, the Art Club, and her class executive council. Miss Baird has also served as president of the Women 's Activities Association and cheerleaders. A precedent has been set in choosing a first runner-up to act as honorary queen should the reigning queen be unable to attend the Cinderella Ball Cindy smiles Students swing into spring the following year. Another precedent has also been set in which the reigning queen will crown the newly elected queen. Jo Signorelli Russin, last year's queen, crowned Miss Baird this year. The runner-up elected by the student body was Pamela DeHaven. Each of the ten candidates received one dozen long-stemmed pink roses. Music was provided by the Modem Aires, a tenpiece orchestra. Ronald Czajkowski, Jack Brooks, and Judy Simonson were chairmen of the affair. 1 weekend was a concert in the gym by the Serendipity Singers. The seven males and two females, accompanied by banjos and guitars, entertained to a disappointing, but not disappointed, audience. Their program consisted chiefly of folk songs portraying the symbolic panorama of American life. Cathy DeAngelis, president of Student Government, was general chairman of the affair. Also on the planSerendipity Singers ning committee were Ken Antonini , The final event of the fun-filled John Cavallini , and John Lore. From noon until midnight on Saturday, students from the College took advantage of the special prices on amusements at Hanson's Grove, Harvey 's Lake. Free buses were available to all students who needed transportation. The Star/ires provided music for dancing as a capacity crowd filled the lake pavilion.

An open discussion followed in which it was suggested to McHale to formally contest the results of the SG elections of that previous Friday, since his name had been misspelled on the ballot, causing him to lose by eight votes. SG voted, reaching a unanimous decision in favor of the legality of McHale"s claim. 8 Students Amass Seventy-Eight Years Of School for Degrees GERARD McHALE Friday, May 7, elections for SG representatives of the junior class were reheld.

SG ANNOUNCES 132 COUPLES ATTEND 'CINDERELLA' AFFAIR John Cavallini was elected president of Student Government last Student Teachers Monday. Matt Fliss was elected by Government to be vice-presSponsor Tea For Student ident; Harry Wilson, treasurer; Vicki recording secretary; and Judy Co-op Instructors Tatz, Simonson, corresponding secretary. Seniors from the College who have completed their student teaching this semester held a tea recently in honor of. their cooperating teachers. The aff.air was held late one afternoon in W eckesser Annex. Students who worked on the affair were Nancie Czubek, Anita Minelli, Dale Edwards, Barbara Bigus, Lee McCloskey. Cathy Skopic, Charlotte Levenoskie, Michael Elias, Carol Meneguzzo. Ronald Grohowski, Dolores Chickanosky, Janet Ainsworth, Judy Handzo, and Elaine Rock. Eighty student teachers from the College completed their student teaching assignments at both elementary and secondary schools of six area districts, administrators of which had been invited to the affair. The last three office rs were elected by acclamation . John Cavallini, Vicki Tatz, Harry Wilson, and Gerard McHale were elected in the re-election last Friday for Student Government representatives from the junior class. Ron Czajkowski , co-chairman of Cinderella Ball, announced that 132 couples attended the affair. Because only 336 people were present for the Serendipity Singers Concert last Sunday , Student Government lost approximately $2000. However, this loss will be covered by the funds remaining in the budget, leaving about $700. Students are urged to remove all glasses, dishes, and papers from the tables in the cafeteria. John Cavallini, junior mathematics major, was chosen president of Student Government at the recently-held popular election. With only one third of the entire student body voting, Cavallini defeated his opponent, Harry Wilson, by a vote of two to one. His term of office will begin when Cathy DeAngelis hands over th e president's gavel at the annual Student Government banquet to be held Monday. May 17, at the Plains American Legion. Other officers, elected by acclamation, by the Student Government are: Matt Fliss, vice-president; Harry Wilson, treasurer; Vicki Tatz, recording secretary; Judy Simonson, corresponding secretary. · President-elect Cavallini, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Cavallini of Nanticoke, Pa., has been a member of Student Government for two years. This year, he has served as chairman of the Constitutional Amendment Committee. A Dean's List student, Cavallini has participated in intramural sports and is a member of the Mathematics Club. Son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Fliss of West Pittston, Pa., Matthew Fliss is a freshman history major. While serving on Student Government, he was co-chairman of the Inter-Collegiate Hootenanny. Also a history major, Harry Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wilson, Dallas, Pa., has served on Student Government for three years and was treasurer this past year.

The Serendipity Singers concert which was held last Sunday afternoon had an attendance of 336 people, an embarrassingly small handful of the College's enrollment, especially when assembled in our large gym. The receipts from the tickets amounted to approximately $1000 - or $2000 short of the amount which the Serendipities were to be paid. Fortunately, SG had reserve funds enough to make up the difference, but this does not alter the fact that the fiasco should never have occurred at all. Why did it happen? There was certainly enough publicity beforehand to let people know of the concert - posters within a fifty-mile radius, advertising in five different newspapers, announcements in high school assemblies and on radio and television, even a contest. Still the students did not attend. Sunday afternoon is a time of relaxation for most people, and any attraction to draw them from their homes ( or dorms) would almost necessarily have to be special. The Serendipity Singers, unfortunately, were not special enough to interest an adequate number of people. The high price of admission was a further deterrent to attendance, in view of both the performers' drawing power and the expensive Cinderella Ball and Spring Carnival which preceded it. Our purpose is not to analyze why the concert failed, but to make suggestions to prevent further occurrences of the same nature. One change that could be made would be to move the concert to a more advantageous time period, even to a Sunday evening. The admission price could and should be set in proportion to the popularity of the performers. Although the Serendipities, according to those who attended, put on an excellent performance, their drawing power was not enough to attract a sizable crowd. Next time, a bigger name should be contracted. A suggestion made by the president of SG is to add a 10-dollar activities charge at the beginning of the school year to each student's tuition. For the $10, the student would receive a book of tickets for the Fall Concert, the Homecoming Dance, the Spring Concert, and the Cinderella Ball. The extra money collected would be put into a reserve fund for SG to use to pay the costs of these events. Ten dollars from each of approximately 1500 students would create a fund of $15,000 - enough to engage "really big" groups. Perhaps then the concerts would be a success. Decisions and Revisions May we congratulate both Student Government and the student body on the recently-held Sudent Government elections. First, a poorly-planned election ballot misspelled the name of Gerard McHale (or is it Gery ... Gary ... Geary?). On well-founded legal grounds McHale contested the election with the result that a re-election of junior class members was necessary. In this election, one capable member was ousted while another stepped into office. According to the Constitution of the student body, this awkward situation could not have been prevented "under the circumstances." Next, elections for SG president were held immediately following the junior class re-election. Because one candidate had been eliminated, only one candidate remained. Another "awkward" situation arose in which an SG presidential candidate was unopposed. The situation was easily remedied, and the new candidate was given one weekend in which to campaign. According to the candidate, he relied chiefly on telephone calls to spread his message to the student body. The fairness of such a campaign could be easily challenged. Approximately four hundred students voted for SG president. Only one-fifth of the student body chose a leader for the most powerful student organization on campus. Perhaps the other four-fifths didn't know that an election was being held. Perhaps they tried to vote between the hours of 9 and 10 a.m. when no one was present at the polls to supervise the voting and no ballots were available. But where does the fault lie? Inefficient plannin~ certainly started the chain of events. But perhaps some fault lies in our Constitution, which states that last Monday was the final day for the SG presidential election to be held. Perhaps SG can be blamed for not finding some way to postpone the election until today to allow both candidates to wage a fair campaign. Certainly a loophole could have been found in the statement, "All elections and election plans are subject to the approval of the Student Government." Perhaps the student body itself can be blamed for not displaying enough interest in the campaign to make sure that it was carried on properly. Friday, May 14, 1965 Rector Discusses Rights Impasse; Poses Question: How Free Is Free? by Rev. Laurence J. James Father James became rector of St. James Church on October 18, 1964, when he came to Pittston from Kentucky. He is a graduate of Eastern State College in Richmond and the Episcopal Seminary in Lexington. For two years he served as curate at Trinity Church in Covington, Kentucky. Reverend and Mrs. James have a daughter, Elizabeth, 16 months old. After a request by the Beacon to submit an article, he writes the following : It is popular in our country to accuse those whose ideas we oppose of being Communists. It isn 't really necessary to say that they actually are; it is only important to allude to Stalin or the Soviet Union so that others get the point. Failing this, make certain that your opponent is considered to be a person who is immoral , whose all egiances are questionable, who is too young to know what he is talking about, or that he is an "outsider." When your opponent is angry enough to take you to court, be sure that nothing you said was libel. That would take away your adversary 's civil rights. Th e old-fashioned way to do the same thing was to call an opposing idea fa scistic. Again , the people who made these vague references never actually named names , and the inference was enough. There was a time when an American could be hauled in to testify before a certain committee of Congress. He usually was not given enough time to prepare a defense. The charges against him might be made more by innuendo than by witnesses, and his reputation would be ruined. He was never on trial, but he was found guilty just the same. An example of this was J. Robert Oppenheimer, to whom President Johnson recently gave the Fermi Award. You may think that this was an aberration in Am erican politics, and that it hasn't happened since. You may think this , but you would be mi staken . The civil rights demonstration from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, was questioned by a public official from that state. H e alleged that there was sexual immorality, that the people who supported it were Communists or backed by Communist money, that they were "outsiders," and that they were beatniks. No one knows exactly what a beatnik is, but it is certain that, in this frame of reference , it isn 't good. The burden of proof rests upon the accuser, not on the accused. This is accord ing to our system of evidence, but the man on the street no longer believes thi s. Besides. what defense is there against being called a "beatnik, " or an "outsider"? This is not slander, it isn 't libel, but the harm it does in some sections of th e country is just as bad as though it were. Notice how we assume that because a man takes the Fifth Amendment and "respectfully declines to answer on the grounds that it might tend to incriminate me," we automatically assume that he is guilty. The c.ourts don't, but the effect in the public mind is that the man is indeed guilty. Sometimes this idea is fostered by the press for its own reasons. Sensationalism sells newspapers. The press can be very careful that it tells only the truth, but by emphasis on certain portions of the truth , even truth can be distorted. It is difficult to find people who think that the freedom to be different should be allowed. The right to make up your own mind, the right to dissent from the opinion of the majority, all of this is slowly being put aside in our country. E ven th e so-called "beatnik" conforms by association with other "non-conformists." Man, we' re organized! Herd Instinct It is more comfortable to stay with the crowd. There is a herd instinct in every one of us. It is easier to sing " W e are not afraid " when there are ten thousand marching in front and ten thousand behind us. It is a little more difficult wh en there is only one Freedom of Choice God gave each of us with any mind at all the freedom to choose for ourselves. Restrictions to freedom are man-made, not God-given. Thomas Jefferson thought that the government that governed best was the government that governed least. No one has ever yet <:qlled him an anarchist. One may abridge his freedom voluntarily. He may join a group that has a totalitarian set-up. which declares what the members may wear, what they may read , when they may speak, and so on. Any one is free to join or not to join. If he joins he gives up his freedom, but the decision is his alon e. If he wants to curb his freedom. that is his business. If he wants to place these same restrictions on the rest of us who do not choose this organization nor its program , that is our business. One man's freedom ends where another man 's nose begins. The classic illustration of a curb on freedom of speech was Oliver W .

Nevertheless, if two are opposed to two million, the two are obliged under God to oppose the others. To indicate the low ebb to which democracy has dropped in this country, two boys in Maryland made a petition of the Bill of Rights and circulated it among their neighbors. They asked one hundred people to sign it, and only forty-nine would. One lady said it was subversive. This has been done in other areas, we are told, with the same effect. It is easy to be for an ideal-like freedom because everyone believes that he is free. The question is not how fr ee we think we are, but how free we want others to be. In the South the saying was and probably still is: "I don 't mind a nigger so long as he keeps his place." It never occurs to the people who say this that they are trying to deprive the Negro, about whom they say it, of his human rights. Not civil rights. mind you , but human rights. AUDIENCE DOESN'T A mother, by her very nature, desires to preserve and uphold those things which are morally healthy for her child. We hope through a fivepoint program to be able to assist our churches and schools in creating as healthy and wholesome an atmosphere in our communities as is humanly possible. We believe the magnificent young people of Wilkes College and their teachers are a credit to our community and testimony of our high community standards. The United Mothers of America have a five-point program which we hope will preserve our high community standards and will also help make our world better for generations yet unborn. I . By our example as mothers we will aid in strengthening family life. 2. We instill in our children respect for authority, law and order, and a desire for higher education. 3. We will make religion an important part of home life. 4. We will encourage stylish modesty. 5. We will unite our prayers with action, "Love of God. neighbor and country" .

FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROFS BIOGRAPHY by David Stout Dedicated to editors, who fear that they may never be. Perhaps you hadn't heard. The news isn't really all over town yet, so chalk up another scoop for me, fans. Success has a precedent. Russell Williams has made it. Yes, the past editor of the Beacon, and 1950 English major graduate of the College, for about the past ten years has only been advertising and sales promotion manager of Eberhard Faber. But now he is also a member of the College faculty. But success hasn 't spoiled Russ. It never has. He is still the pleasant. good-natured, all-around-swell-guy that he was when he first came to the College on the G.I. bill - lo, those not so many years ago. I bumped into him at Parrish the other evening. As you all know , I'm a member of the Advertising 216 course there. Russ has the good fortune to be my instructor. Manuscript Shows 'Virgin Spring' On Weckesser Lawn The Manuscript film The Virgin Spring will be shown once tomorrow night at 9 on the lawn in the back of Weckesser Hall. The idea of a lawn party was suggested by Student Government; everyone is encouraged to bring his own blanket. Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin to reach a church where she will light is going through the woods in order Spring concerns a young virgin who candles to Holy Mary . The young girl's companion placed a curse on her by putting a toad in her lunch. The curse from the toad materializes when the girl is attacked and raped. The film has won an Academy Award for the best foreign film. Bergman believes this to be his best film, but the majority of critics consider it inferior to The Seventh Seal. Time magazine has said that the production is "a violently beautiful miracle play, an apocalyptic parable in which good and evil, Christian and pagan powers collaborate in a divine rebirth , the continuous nativity of love." Rizzo Addresses Faculty Seminar On Current Lit. Dr. Philip Rizzo will speak at the faculty seminar this evening at 7:45 in Weckesser Annex. His subject will be a critical opinion of "some current fiction and some drama to see what statements can be made." The introduction will be made by Mr. Stanley Gutin of the English departmen•. Dr. Rizzo is primarily concerned about the "universaility" of some current themes; that is, whether they will have any application after ' the fads represented in the works pass. He will include comments by some critics, including John Ciardi, who believes we·re being " jobbed" by such writers as Edward Albee and Norman Mailer. He concluded, "The less said the better about what I am going to do." Two Clubs Hold Dance In Gym The Psych-Soc and Circle K Clubs will sponsor a dance tonight in the gym from 9 to 12 p .m. Music will be provided by the Avengers, a Philadelphia band. The group has made some records, including " Last Big Fling," and has played at Penn State and other major colleges in the area. Admission is $.75. Cavalllnl RUSSELL WILLIAMS " Russ, baby, " I screamed in greeting. "Who are you?" This was his cute way of referring to my over-cut status. Yes, his sense of humor is sharp as ever. He had to have a good one to cope with the Beacon position in the old days of a ten-member staff, no remunerative editorial scholarship, and Pop Schmidt's printing. Journalism Baby After graduation, you know Russ wanted to go into journalism. Toward that end he took the now-famous journalism courses then offered by Miss Gertrude Williams. Remember " Ma" Craig? She was head of the English department then. Humming "Gone are the Days," Russy and I whiled away the few minutes before class chatting over a cigarette about the job he took in 1950 as in-stock manager with the local I. W. Miller shoe company , because he couldn't find the type of thing that was just right for him in journalism. Too bad I wasn 't his agent then, hainna' gang? Next, your favorite night school teacher and mine went to work for Gutendorf Advertising Agency, where he remained for three years receiving his first advertising training. "Get to the E.F. stint," I prodded. The giant of the pencil concerns was founded in 1849, I was told. He joined the firm as its assistant advertising manager when Eberhard Faber was located in Brooklyn. Since, he has witnessed the firm's move to Mountaintop, the production's expansion to include a complete stationery line and the birth of a toy industry, and, not least of all, the promotion of Russell Williams to head of the advertising and sales prom.o tion department. " And now you've made it, baby. You·re in the big time." I couldn't help thinking of the parallel between him and my good friend Dwight D . From work to education to . . . .

(Continued from page 1) by Helen Dugan Mr. Stephen P . Rasi , native of Glen Lyon, has once again returned to Northeastern Pennsylvania after circling the country as both student and instructor. After graduating from Newport Township High School, Mr. Rasi spent a year studying chemistry at Holy Cross Colleg~ in Massachusetts. During his next four years he attended a seminary at the Catholic University, Washington, D.C. from which he graduated with an A.B . in philosophy. He remained in Washington for the next year as a French teacher at John Carroll High School. Also, due to the lack of science instructors and excess of humor on the part of the supervising principal, he was an instructor of general science. The following summer he broadened his activities by becoming a most outstanding authority on and salesman of World Book Encyclopedias. From 1961 to 1963, he taught French at Belt Junior High School, Maryland. using the audio-lingual method. During the summer of '63, Mr. Rasi was the demonstration teacher on the staff of the West Virq•nta University National Defense Education Act Summer Language Institute. At this position he conducted a 'Sem•nar for teachers dealing with critical analysis of the procedures and materials in the audio-lingual teaching method. For the ·63-'64 school term, Mr. Rasi stayed on at West Virginia University to obtain his M.A. degree in French under a teaching assistantship. The summer of ·64 was dedicated to the purpose of spreading joy and good feeling throughout the state of New Jersey - he utilized his summer in the selling of friend-making . song-spurring 'beer'. From beer to Berkeley, so it goes. Mr. Rasi, for the first semester of the '64-'65 term, traveled cross-country to the University of California at Berkeley. During his one semester stay, he was prominent in organizing the Graduate Coordinating Committee, comprised of student representatives elected from each field of study. Among other things, the committee was a strong backer of the primary STEPHEN RASI Berkeley demonstrations. The renowned Berkeley demonstrations were started with good intent. The incident that sparked the first demonstration, although many other grievances were pending, was the administration 's ruling that no one could set up tables or collect money for organizations on a specific, heretofore frequented , plot of university ground. In defiance the students did set up tables, thus prompting police action. The police stormed the area in a squad car, chose one person, who happened not to be a student, and arrested him. This uncalled-for police severity was immediately met by student opposition. All students in the area quickly surrounded the squad car - sitting , laying and ye 11 in g around it. Since the police would not yield the captive. the students mounted speakers on the car and proceeded to proclaim their injustice. Peanut, Peanut Butter After three days of existence on peanut butter sandwiches, the students dispersed and the car had to be towed away. Thus began the demonstrations with the cry for freedom of speech, constitutionality, and uncorrupted politics. This stand is what the Graduate Coordinating Committee supported. From this justifiable rebellion the arrested youth rose as a martyr. Be- cause many of the demonstrators were not members of the University but merely trouble-searchers, there was no united front. But the biggest loss was that of the primary central idea. "They started parading around with signs with vulgar words on them, " stated a rather disturbed Mr. Rasi. Berkeley is a university of extremes - either high points or low points. "If you never let the low points get y.ou down so much that you hang yourself, you can make it," retrospects Mr. Rasi. At this point he changed his occupational plans and decided to return to the Valley. This summer, and possibly for the next 25 summers, Mr. Rasi will be working on his D .M .L. (a degree equivalent to a Ph .D . but with an emphasis on teaching) at Middlebury College. For the past semester Mr. Rasi has been at the College teaching French 101-102. He will continue here while working for his D.M.L. degree. Mr. Rasi's outside interests deal with music and drama . Although he tends to favor classical music - especially opera - he likes all types of modern music and has a strong attraction to fok music. His dramatic inclinations have led him to membership in both the Mount Vernon Players of Washington D.C. and the Chevy Chase Players in Maryland. The Cue and Curtain and various local little theatre groups are objects of his future endeavors. Ham Radioist Mr. Rasi is aso a ham (radioist that is) . He hopes to obtain his gen eral license and use the facilities of the College's radio station K3NOM. "Wilkes is looking and moving ahead, " says Mr. Rasi. "It offers a good education along with the small college advantages. " For these and other reasons he enjoys teaching at the College. He is pleased that, because of the academic freedom, teachers are not given strict regulations to comply with, and therefore have more time for their students. One of Mr. Rasi's aims is to know each of the students and treat each as an individual - · this he feels he can accomplish at the College. October 2 Chosen ror Parents' Day; Lunch, Soccer, roolball Highlight The committee for the Third Annual Fall Parents' Day has been selected, announced Arthur J. Hoover, faculty advisor. Clark Line and Robert Wes ton are the co-chairmen for the affair. The following are members of the committee and the capacity in which each is serving: Todd Gibbs, John Karpiak, Peter Morrison - community relations; Eileen Gardner, Leslie Stamer - registration, invitations and program; Dianne Alfaro, Jay Ruckel, Roger Spence - campus arrangements; Sylvia Carstensen, Linda Werner food and refreshments; Vic Altonen, Forrest Eichmann, Mary Quinn publicity; Bill Tinney, Bob Vanderoef, COLUMBIA SPONSORS CONTEST FOR CHURCHILL FILM TITLE Columbia Pictures has acquired the film rights to Sir Winston Churchill's autobiography, My Early Life: A Roving Commission, which is to be made into a motion picture by Carl Foreman . Columbia feels that the title of this exciting story of Sir Winston 's youth and early manhood does not convey the scope and spirit of these extraordinary-filled years when he was a student, cavalry officer and war correspondent. The movie company is therefore embarking on a nationwide title search, open to all college students, with a prize of round trip transportation to Europe for two going to the student whose title is selected for the film . In addition, a single round-trip to Europe will be awarded to the instructor, librarian or college newspaper editor who was instrumental in acquainting the winning student with the details of the title search. As a basis for submission of titles, it should be remembered that Sir Winston's early years saw him as a student at Harrow and Sandhurst; a dashing cavalry officer in India and the Sudan ; climaxed by his journalistic experiences in South Africa, where he was captured by the Boers, and eventually made a daring escape to safety. This could as well be the story of any adventurous and courageous young man thrust into the arena of heroic and splendid action. Titles are to be submitted to: Churchill, Columbia Pictures Corp., 71 I Fifth Avenue, New York 22, New York. June I , 1965, is the final date for submission of titles. Should there be no title which in Columbia's opinion, is considered suitable, the value of the prizes will be donated to an appropriate charity. In the event that the winning title is entered by more than one individual, Columbia reserves the right to ask for a short essay from the finalists in order to determine the ultimate winner. Stephen Van Dyck - entertainment. The Fall Parents' Day of 1965 will be held on Saturday, October 2. The -schedule for that day will include a soccer game with Upsala and a football game in which the Colonels will host Moravian at the new football field. In addition, the parents will attend a luncheon at the gym where Dr. Eugene Farley will present a short address, Further activities which are yet in the suggestion stage concern a faculty seminar open to parents, a Theodore Sikel-type concert, and a small production in the new Fine Arts Center. Another suggestion is the presentation of Dr. Robert Riley's freshman orientation speech so that parents might become acquainted with the problems confronting their children in the college environment. Purpose Cited The purpose of this special day is to enable parents to become better acquainted with the historical significance of the College, to visit the classrooms and dormitories, and to enjoy the traditional atmosphere of which their children are so much an integral part. It is at this time that the parents are afforded the opportunity to talk with the faculty and administration. By attending the athletic events the parents are exposed to only a minute part of the campus· extracurricular activities. But it is a taste which enables them to evaluate the experience of personal acquaintance which is characteristic of a small campus such as that of the College. �Friday, May 14, 1965 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SENIOR SUGGESTS REFORMS IN SELECTION OF CINDY Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to make a few suggestions as to voting for next year's Cinderella. In the first place, I don't believe the entire student body should nominate the ten candidates. The only students who can possibly know the qualities of the senior girls are the seniors themselves. The class will have gone through four years together - they are the ones who can really say they know the girls. How can any other class get to know all the seniors? When I entered Wilkes and voted for Cinderella as a freshman, I noniinated the girls by hearing their names mentioned on campus or by other people telling me to vote for a certain girl. I am sure there are other people who had the same problem. Freshmen don 't come into contact with the senior girls very often. For that matter, the other two classes never really get to know all the senior girls. How, then, can everyone nominate? Why can't the senior class, themselves, pick the ten girls and then let the entire student body vote for the "Cindy" of their choice? Or even better, why not reserve the honor and privilege of nominating and voting (Continued from page 1) for those who have achieved the status of senior?

The Beacon "Athlete of the Year Award" was presented to Ted TravisBey, a resident of Butler Hall, by Clark Line, the Beac,on's sports editor, at the annual Awards Asse mbly yesterday. Travis-Bey has distinguished himself as member of the Colonel football squad, not only this season, but over the past several campaigns, and copped the honors by an almost unanimous vote of the sports staff. As a freshman , Travis-Bey was the Wilkes signal caller, and the switched to halfback as a sophomore, where he has played the past three years. The diminutive Colonel scatback has been named Beacon "Athlete of the Week" on several occasions, and has gained recognition in the Middle Atlantic Conference polls. In 1962, Travis-Bey was among the "Top Ten " in MAC rushing averages, while receiving certification as an All MAC halfback. The Colonels dropped a 7-2 decision in the Scranton encounter which seemed to be overshadowed by a charge that the Royals switched their line-up. Tom Rokita , playing number two, remarked that the line-up had been switched. Rokita downed Scranton's Stretz in two sets. 6-1, 6-3. The only other winner for the Colonels was Bill Douglas, playing number three. Douglas required thr<'" sets, rallying 7-5. 6-3, after dropping the first set 1-6. Dave Closterman, th e number one player for Wilkes. took the first set of his match 7-5, but succumbed 4-6, 2-6 in the final two sets. Wilkes Shut Out The Moravian Greyhounds also took the measure of the Wilkesmen by a score of 9-0, in blanking the Colonels for the second time in two years. Last season the Greyhounds took two from Wilkes, 9-0 and 8- i. The Moravian tennis squad seems to have another powerhouse, with 3 MAC semi finalists on the squad. The Colonels challenge the Greyhounds again tomorrow in a match at Bethlehem . a Switched To Wingback Travis-Bey, an exciting broken field runner, was placed in the wingback slot when coach Rollie Schmidt tried out the wing-T formation this past season. As the blocking back, it was feared that Travis-Bey's running game would be hampered. Despite the handicap, however, he came in fourth in team rushing with 197 yards gained on 44 carries for a 4.5 yard per carry average.

Previous Honor This season, Travis-Bey was selected by the sports staff of the Beacon as the football team's Outstanding Back, in compiling 14 points for the season. Travis-Bey has gained praise not only from his coach and teammates. but also from the spectators, friend and fo e alike. Travis-Bey resides in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, where he attended Pho,.nixville Area High School. While at Phoenixville he played football, baseball and basketball . He carried over his court skills to the Wilkes squad this season, playing for the Colonels the first semester. Also in high school, Travis-Bey was president of the student council, Key Club advisor, and named to the All Chestmont football roster in 1959-60.

Walter Mohr, director of development, stated that the final approval of plans is expected shortly and bids will be sought. The Y-shaped structure will be one of the most modern ever to be built in Wyoming Valley. The construction site, an area of 2.9 acres, at one time accommodated some of the city's oldest dwellings and made up the core of a block which comprised some of its finest homes. At present, the land is used as a student parking area. Deeded to College The area, which is bounded on the north by South Street, on the south by Ross Street, and on the other two sides by the dwellings on South Franklin and South River Streets, has been deeded to the College by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. Construction is scheduled to begin by July 1, and completion is anticipated by the fall semester of 1966. Bill Kanyuck Entrance to the new structure will be on Wright Street, oft South Street. The male dormitory will accommodate 264 students, and the dining hall will handle 700 at two seatings. The dormitory will be three. stories high with a full basement that can be used for recreational and storage needs. The cafeteria, with a modernistic, circular fanned roof, will be one story high. FINE ARTS FIESTA HELD ON SQUARE; SEVEN ARTS GATHER For ten years, under a canopy of spring leaves in a "green place" in the city, there have been gathered under one roof - the sky over Public Square - the Seven Arts in all their many facets, developed by the community through 150 years. For ten years this Festival has provided its audiences with those particular pleasures which accompany an outdoor festival in the spring. This year's Fiesta will run from Thursday, May 20 to Monday, May 24. Bill Kanyuck A junior English major, Kanyuck has been a sports, feature, and news reporter on the staff for two years. His extracurricular activities include serving as manager of the swimming team; he has also been a member of his freshman class executive council.

The Frances Chase residence located at 76 West South Street will be used as a women's dormitory, and the Brockman residence located at 246 South River Street will be used as a men's dormitory. The College anticipates acquisition of other buildings to be used as dormitories for the fall semester. Greater admission requests and the desire by the College to accommodate as many qualified students as possible has caused a serious housing problem which will be eased considerably by the new facilities .

Cavallini has suggested to the administrative council that a special fund for student activities be created by levying $10 on the tuition bill of each student in the fall semester. The amount would total approximately $16,000, the money to be used towards the fall and spring concerts, the Intercollegiate Hootenanny, and the Cinderella Ball. The students would receive free tickets to these events. Since it is the responsibility of Student Government to consider the interests of the students and the College, this idea is favored by Student Government. The constitution of the International Relations Club was passed. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, May 21, 1965 letters to ·the Editor EDITORIAL APOLOGIA PRO VITA Cathy DeAngeles Sa-y s rarewell; This has been a love affair. Adels "Thanks lor the Memories" In the springtime of our fancy, when you were new and I, an eager scribble, we havoced in our garden to the tune of pipers playing, roses growing. And you taunted and provoked until we consummated on trees of paper. Like the fragile thing you are, our love became - contingent on being good, doing good, looking good. Like the fluid thing I am, your love became - the difference being I was flowing forward, you were liquidated. You would wait for ink to dry before professing your love. And it was often not forthcoming for you, being fragile, being fluid, were blown by the wind to some, another, garden. Still I could not scratch myself of you. And still, I could not sacrifice at your altar all the negations of this life. I can recognize, when drawing, the mole upon your cheek, the furrow in your brow. Were I to remove these defects, you would tire of perfection. We are all alike, and soon grow weary of incense. Thus, I have printed you as you are - imperfect, irregular. Because you cannot see with what love I cite your faults, you dub me perfidious. Yet, I cannot help but think that you are intrigued by my "perfidy". You may pout and dissent, but still I feel, nestling, w·restling with me in the pen, the burden of your grudging respect. I say "burden" for, remembering the garden love we once knew, I am tempted to scratch out your faults and call back that love. Shall I sacrifice to watch you weary of the incense and relegate me to some wooden rack? Though my color be black. I could not stand such segregation. Dear Editor: The past year 's activities of Student Government have now been reduced to memories, some of them happy, some sad; but each cherished in a special way. It is only fitting to take this opportunity to thank the many people who gave so unselfishly of themselves to help us in our attempts to carry out our responsibilities. It would be impossible to thank each person who assisted us, but I wish to express special gratitude to the members of the administration and faculty for their kind advice and interest; Mr. Wallison for his help with public relations; Mrs. Vujica, Mr. Jervis, the maintenance crew, the secretaries, and of course Millie Gittens for her invaluable aid. To the members of the Beacon staff, a " thank you" for the honest attempt to assist us. I believe that most of the articles which appeared in the Beacon were written to serve as constructive criticism, even though I sometimes had the feeling that the negative aspect of criticism was the only type utilized. May I now insert a brief suggestion for next year 's staff. Perhaps an occasional article praising the attempts of organizations such as Cue and Curtain, The Manuscript, the Administration, and even a kind word about Finally, I would like to express my Student Government might serve to improve various situations. In any personal gratitude to each and everyevent, my best wishes for the con- one who helped to make my last year tinued success of the Beacon. at Wilkes one of the most memorable of my life. Thank you. A special note of thanks is in order Sincerely, for each student who rendered committee and moral support. W ith the Cathy DeAngelis Ross Wins Nod As "Miss Seasons "; 1626 Colgate Men Can't Be Wrong Dear Editor: Being a Wyom ing Valley product, I have maintained an interest in the area in general, and in Wilkes College in particular, and have been reading the Beacon as a source of local commentary. I am becoming increasingly impressed with your paper. Its s'.yle of reporting, layout design, and photography compare favorabl y with almost any college newspaper I have read, including our own Maroon. And now, it is the autumn of our fancy. I know my love will winter well, and yours will stay capricious. But, as I could not dead the self to spring, I cannot dead the self to fall. Lovers, all. A.P. WHAT • WHERE • WHEN Your issue of May 7, 1965, however, was perhaps your finest triumph to date. All the reporting was excellent, and I was particularly impressed with the photography work - especially on page 4. I am referring, of course, to the shot of Miss April, a Miss Charlene Ross. The photograph greatly enhanced the aesthetic quality of the page. Credit is due both to the photographer and Miss Ross herself. Many of my fellow students agree with my appraisal of Miss Ross' merits, and hereby formally support her in the Miss Seasons Contest. Being students at an all-male university, and spending long hours gazing at such photographs, we consider ourselves almost authorities.

I have one special request; that the ten dollar Special Activities Fund outlined in last week's Be8'-0D be approved by the students. The proposal for this fund is now in the hands of the Administrative Council, and if such a plan could commence in September it would mean a tremendous boost to the activities calendar.

In conclusion, I would like to say that "A Senior" should have at least had the courage to sign "her" name.

Dr. Francis Michelini, dean of aca• demic affairs, commented on the retirement: "The significant strength of our undergraduate c u r r i c u I u m in English has been the result of Dr. Davies' constant efforts to build a strong program. He has achieved a distribution and balance of courses that is excellent. The most difficult challenge he has faced is a rigorous application of standards. He has succeeded, as every one of his students knows. It is easy to permit an easy department. This Dr. Davies has never done." The rigidness of his educational standards is paralleled by the firm insistence he has maintained on personal privacy. His British reserve and his desire to remain aloof have prompted him to avoid, and even prevent, any publicity to be released concerning his personal life or any recognition to be shown to him for his many achievements. by Irene Norkaitis r --~~llillliP'""""'!llfflll!"!"!'~1'11!/191!111BI This article is written with the full knowledge that Dr. Davies would be more pleased by its non-appearance. However, he is so admired by his students that this very small notice is taken more to please them than to invade the privacy which he insists upon, and therefore, is entitled to.

The 1965 yearbook is nearing completion under the leadership of Editor Keith Ackerman. This year's issue will run more than 200 pages with many color shots spread throughout. At the first deadline date eighty pages were forwarded to the printer. Contained on these pages were the faculty shots and senior pictures.

Dr. Kaslas' academic background reflects the ability to fill the vacancy left by Dr. Thatcher. He received his first degree at the University of Kaunas, Lithuania, and then went on to graduate school at the University of St r as b o u r g , in Alsace-Lorraine, France, where he received his master's degree. While in Paris he prepared his thesis on the regionalism in Europe and presented his work to the University of Strasbourg, where he received his Ph.D. Before coming to the United States in 1946, Dr. Kaslas taught in the Universities of Kaunas and Strasbourg. Upon arrival in the United States, he studied at Columbia University and taught at Litchfield School for Young Boys, and also Connecticut and Detroit Universities. DR. BRONIS KASLAS In the fall semester of 1949, Dr. Kaslas came to the College, which was at that time only two years old and occupied only a few buildings between South and Northampton Streets. "It was .a proud and gratifying experience · to be a part of this institution and to witness its growth and expansion over three large city blocks with a curriculum and scholastic standards equal to most reputed colleges of the country," he commented. Dr. Kaslas feels the responsibilities of an administrator-teacher of history and political science are tremendous and challenging. The modem age requires from our graduates more 'excellence' in order to enter competitive graduate schools, to get a job, and often to answer extremely difficult questions of our complex technological age. '"We have to prepare our graduates for this ·excellence' in their chosen fields." He feels that the task of the liberal arts teacher is more difficult than other types of teaching because of the educational system and its philosophy, which is suffering today from a bad case of '"Sputnikosis." Our panicstricken government and colleges have adapted systems which emphasize the teaching of the art of KNOW-HOW As a result of the subsequent re- at the expense of liberal arts and (continued on page 4) search on regional and federalist This statement has particular ap, plication to Dr. Davies, for no professor has been more revered at Wilkes College than this man who has revealed the true extent of his warmth and wit to only a few close friends. Yet, his abund'ance of these qualities would be impossible to hide with even the strictest British reserve. Therefore, Dr. Davies leaves behind him eighteen years of students guided by his advice, improved by his professorship, and awed by his scholarship, but aware that the humor and understanding of his classroom and office hours were only a taste of the true nature of a teacher they could love but a man they were never really to know. Privacy Respected Kaslas rills Thatcher Vacancy; reels Education Lacks 'Know-What' Among the new appointments at the College for the coming year :s that of Dr. Bronis J. Kaslas as acting chairman of the history department. As he assumes his duties, Dr. Kaslas would like to recognize Dr. Harold Thatcher as the "pioneer-head of the h i story department." Since Dr. Thatcher has taken the department through its organizational and solidifying stages, he has made it possible for the department to reach a stage of established scholastic tradition. As a result of the exceptional, tactful, and intelligent chairmanship of Dr. Thatcher, the members of the history department have had a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in which to work. "We will miss Dr. Thatcher's presence in our department," states Dr. Kaslas. a college can respect a man of intensely individual character for his intellectual contributions without being influenced by the variance of his personal nature from the conforming average. Holden To Attend Physics Conclave Dr. Stanley Holden, a member of the physics department, has been selected to attend an apparatus conference on advanced undergraduate experiments in atomic and nuclear physics to be held in the Johnson Memorial Science Center at Lake Forest College in Illinois. The conference will extend from June 20 through July 2. Dr. Holden is one of 36 applicants chosen by the director, Dr. Harold Jensen, from a nation-wide list of applicants. The conference is planned to provide information about modem apparatus and experiments for instructional uses to teachers of undergraduate laboratories. New demonstration apparatus and related instructional techniques will be demonstrated. "A part of all he's read" Dormant Debaters Reboand Following Uncertain Start Having lost its faculty advisor, Miss Charlotte Lord, to her doctoral studies at the University of Pennsylvania, the Debate Society was minus an advisor for the first five weeks of this year. The club was dormant during this time; then David Fendrick of the College's English department introduced a program for varsity and novice debaters to the society. Novice tournaments included Harpur University, Marywood College, C. W. Post, Susquehanna and Rutgers Universities. These novice debaters were: Edith Aurellio, secretary; Mark Bauman, vice-president; Elizabeth Brennan; Jack Brooks; Mark Hamdi, president; Richard Kramer, treasurer; Kathy Vose; and Gail Wallen. During the early weeks of the novice debaters' season, their winloss record was not in their favor.

Quinn by Helen Dugan Miss Catherine Bone, a resident of Pittston, is a graduate of Duryea High School. She received both her B.S. and her M .S . degree in chemistry from Pennsylvania State University at a time when students were still individuals, she states. Miss Bone had the opportunity, which today seems to be impossible at Penn State, of knowing each of her instructors personally. In September, the students of the College will be greeted by a variety of new features. An outstanding innovation, the Center for the Performing Arts is progressing steadily towards its final stages of construction. The deadline for completion of the Center has been set for the end of August.

Her lecture classes consisted of approximately 56 students. Today she lec -tures in the modern facilities of Stark VIEWPOINT '65: U. S. INTERVENTION-IS IT NECESSARY ? by Marshall Evans Trouble spots throughout the world today usually have one thing in common - the presence of United States Armed Forces. The two spots currently erupting in a climate of gunfire, bombs, and revolts are Vietnam and • the Dominican Republic. Some objectors of our recent actions state the United Nations has the responsibility and duty of policing international conflicts when they erupt. Treaty organizations such as the OAS and SEATO have similar functions within their respective regions. Why then must the United States continually assume the responsibility and authority of sending troops into every troubled country the instant revolt and conflict develop within that country? There are no easy or simple answers to the above ques&n; however, three statements of facts that do exist can possibly help illuminate the reasons for recent U.S. foreign policy <kcisions. The United Nations has lost what effective power it once possessed as an instrument to quell conflicts as they arise and preserve world peace. It has now become an instrument of administering welfare aid, principally supplied through the efforts and with the money of the United States, and a forum which over 100 nations of the world - large and small- may utilize to "soundoff," verbally condemn, attack and threaten any other nation on any subject it sees fit to do so.

With this in mind, the College is granting financial assistance to several members of the school's faculty to enable them to pursue further study in their particular fields. Seven teachers will study in the United States and abroad to increase their knowledge which they will, in turn, share with their students, and to gain credits for post-graduate degrees. Stanley Gutin Mr. Stanley Gutin, a member of the English department, will travel to Sligo, Ireland to attend the Yeats International Summer School. This year's symposium will have a special signficance in that top scholars from all over the world will gather at Sligo to celebrate Yeats' one hundredth birthday. Mr. Gutin hopes that his visit to Ireland will supply him with insights for his doctoral dissertation, the thesis -0f which deals with Yeats' short stories and sketches. Yeats, who lived in the area and is buried in Sligo, injected people and places of this particular part of Ireland in many of his works. The twoweek session will include lectures, seminars, performances of Yeats' plays, and tours of the Sligo area. Among the notables who will lecture at the school are Frank O'Connor, Irish short story writer and T. R. Henn, English scholar and author of one of the standard biographies of Yeats. During his return trip, Mr. Gutin plans to visit literary shrines in Dublin and London. Mr. Gutin hopes to relate his experiences in Sligo, Dublin, and London to his students, thus making his courses more meaningful. RIGHT FACT WRONG ELECTION Dear Editor: You state "Approximately four hundred students voted for SG president . . .

I wish you would make this correction. Judy Simonson and I opened the polls at exactly nine o'clock on Monday, May 10 for the presidential election. The ballots were in our possession at this time . Thank you, Matt Fliss Standing, left to right: Jose Ribas, Stanley Gutin, Dr. William Bliss. Another European-bound instructor is Rosemary Allmayer-Beck of the language department. Miss AllmayerBeck, who is pursuing a doctoral degree, intends to take two courses at the Sorbonne in Paris. During the four-week summer session, the language teacher will study the history of French art and French civilization. While in Paris, Miss Allmayer-Beck will also visit points of interest in France so that she may obtain a better understanding of the country and relate this understanding to her language students. Jose Ribas Dear Editor: Last week some frustrated female members of the College's student body wrote a letter to the Beacon complaining about the "privileges accorded to a young 'female faculty' member. J would only like to say that these students should concern themselves with matters which more directly involve them and leave the criticism of the faculty to members of the administration, - if and when such criticism is necessary and justified, and in this instance it was not.

This brings me to the point of this final column. Perrego led the Wilkesmen in the MAC tilt this season, placing sixth after a strong start. The Dallas, Pa. native was in second place after the first 18 holes, but saw his game fall off in the last 18. Recently a dinner was held for the area athletes who have been accepted at Wilkes. This innovation seems to be pointing to an attempt to bring better teams to the College. Another promising event this year, was the naming of Ron Rainey as basketball coach ( with no reHection on Mr. Ferris) . I think that these two single events point to a general build-up in the Wilkes athletic program, and rightly so.

By playing as a member of a team, one learns to carry his share for the success of the entire force. Is this not beneficial throughout life itself? Still, we should beware of the pitfalls involved with an ambitious athletic program. Too often, athletics are placed above scholarship.

Klick, the starting pitcher for the Colonels, led the home team with '3 for 3, including a triple and a homer. Although he was excellent at th.? plate, he hurt his cause by wildness at the mound. His homer carried over the left center field wall at the 365 foot mark. :.Klick almost had a second triple but was thwarted when a pulled hamstring muscle kept him from running out his belt. The loss to Dickinson brought the Colonel's log to 2- 11. Yesterday, Muhlenburg College, spurred by two homers, edged the Colonels sluggers 5-4 on the Wilkes diamond. Fred Bauer, the losing pitcher, had a 2-1 lead going into the seventh but a Mule rally paid off, producing 4 runs which copped the victory for Muhlenburg. Bauer allowed 8 hits, fanned 9, and walked 4. The Colonels added 2 runs in the last inning before they were retired. Wilkes had 11 safeties with Popovich getting 3 of them including a double.

The Center for the Performing Arts, designed with the student in mind, will be dedicated on October 25 at 4:30 p.m. Al Groh, College theatrical director, has evaluated the structure as "one of the best-equipped theatres of its kind on any college campus." Paul Green, playwright and director of the Caroling Players, will be principal speaker at the ceremony. Speaking at the dedication dinner will be Donald Oenslager, a member of the faculty of Yale University and stage designer of the Lincoln Center in New York City and Kennedy Art Center in Washington, D. C. The lower level consists of a large chorus room , containing full wall mirrors, to be used as a rehearsal hall or a make-up and costume room for large groups. The level also has individual dressing rooms, a guest dressing room equipped with a shower, a kitchen and sewing room, and fullytiled rest rooms. The Green Room, scene of future conferences, meetings, and lounging, features vinyl wall covering, wall-to-wall carpeting, and furniture especially manufactured for the College by the Kanaar Corporation. C entury Lighting had built custom equipment for the theatre. The projection booth contains a ten-scene preset electronic control panel board. Oenslager has worked closely with Mr. Groh in determining specifications for stage and lighting at the theatre. Leigh Allen, renowned designer and dl'corator, is responsible for much of the decor, interior design , and furnish ings. Between the two entrance doors, on the fourth wall of the glass enclosed lounge on the second level of the theatre, hangs a medieval tapestry, hued in white an9 gold. The print, imported from Jtermany, features knights, horses, and regal ladies, and was designed exclusively for the Center. Sundry types of performances can be accomplished in the theatre drama , music, concerts, solo acts, motion pictures, and art exhibits.

Mr. Groh predicts the addition of courses in the drama and also special summer program. His aim is to enable students to have the opportunity to work in the theatre, to enjoy and appreciate it.

But one dear friend has been taken from us - one who has, by the side of her husband, helped to make Wilkes College what it is today. This past summer, Mrs. Eugene S. Farley died unexpectedly at the Parleys' summer residence in Beaumont. Her absence from the campus is sadly noted by everyone - student, teacher, administration. But Mrs. Farley had not confined her activities to the campus; the community mourns the loss of her energetic participation in its affairs. On behalf of the student body, the BEACON would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Dr. Eugene S. Farley and his family. Bienvenu, Wilkom ! Lengthy welcomes are boring to read as well as difficult to compose. And since Roget's alternatives for the word " welcome" are somewhat limited, we have decided to eliminate our traditional lengthy opening salutation and substitute a brief, but inclusive, welcome list. Thus, the BEACON would like to take this opportunity to cordially welcome: All befuddled frosh, disoriented transfer students, enthusiastic new faculty members, and lonely shuttle bus drivers. Dr. Vincent A. McCrossen, chairman of the English Department. Gordon Roberts, Director of Activities. Our long-awaited Fine Arts Center. All newly-acquired private homes. OUR parking lot. The BEACON'S new advisor, Miss Martha Hadsel. The mathematics department to Conyngham, which has been vacated by the English department, whom we would like to welcome to Williams Hall. Senores Valero, Ribas, and Rasi to our beloved old BEACON office in Pickering, which we tearfully vacated to establish residence in Conyngham, first floor. And so, in our new environment, the BEACON would like to contribute to the "new look" on campus. We are inviting you, the student body, to aid us in producing a more effective campus newspaper. Our Letters To The Editor column will be published weekly for anyone with a grievance or a few words of praise. All letters must be signed, but will be published as Anonymous upon request. We invite anyone with an opinion who is willing to take the time to develop that opinion to use our Rants 'n Raves column. Viewpoint '65 is open to students who wish to express themselves on foreign or national affairs. Any club or organization that would like us to print a notice concerning a coming dance or money-raising affair may do so by contacting the BEACON office. In this, our first issue, we have included some new features. Since the BEACON is a publication for the students, we welcome any constructive criticism from the student body. • WHERE • WHEN MR.

U.S. IN VIET NAMTOTAL VICTORY? Walter Narcum Many people have been asking the question : "Are we winning in Viet Nam?" There is, however, another q u e st i o n which would be more to the point. That question is: " Are '"e trying to win in Viet Nam?" To answer the latter question, w e must look at the tactics the United States is using in the w ar in Viet Nam. The most controversial tactic is our continued bombing of North Viet Nam . The first bombing of North Viet Nam took place after successive attacks on the ships of our Seventh Fleet, which were patrolling the Tonkin Gulf. We bombed the bases of the North Vietnamese P .T. boats, but imm e d i a t e I y discontinued the bombing. This was how things stood until a mortar attack by the Viet Cong on an airbase in South Viet Nam caused renewed retaliation by units of the South Vietnamese Air Force and carrier-base planes of the United States Navy. This time the bombing was not stopped, but instead, has been continued until the present time, in retaliation for continued infiltration of North Vietnamese army units. The continued bombing of North Viet Nam may be used as evidence that the United States is making a concerted effort to win the war in Viet Nam. However, not all of North Viet Nam is under attack by United States' planes. Hanoi, the capital city of North Viet Nam, and Haiphong, the harbor for Hanoi, have never come under attack by United States' planes. How can we say that we are doing everything to win in Viet Nam, when the most important industrial complex and population center in North Viet Nam is allowed to go untouched? If we really want to win, a review of this "privileged sanctuary" policy must be made! A look at the ground war in Viet Nam shows that we now have over 125,000 servicemen in South Viet Nam. Previously, our servicemen were allowed to Jettel'J tc t,e {f/itcl' Day-sie Urges Mass Park-In Dear Editor : It occurred to me the other day , as I tried in vain to find a few square feet of space on the east side of the river in which to park my " Maytag Messerschmidt", that a college which depends on commuting students for more than half of its enrollment has an obligation to provide convenient parking facilities.

Recently, however , our comba forces have been given the goahead to initiate "clear and search" operations by themselves or in conjunction with South Vietnamese units. The decision to unleash our forces was a step toward total victory in Viet Nam, but it was only a step. If we really desire victory , then a substantial increase in our ground forces must be made. We need additional forces in Viet Nam; first , because only a fraction of the 125,000 servicemen are front-line combat personnel. Secondly, in order to effectively combat a guerilla uprising , there must be a ten-toone advantage of conventional forces over guerilla forces. Clearly, the forces we have in Viet Nam now are not sufficient to eradicate the nearly 200,000 regular and irregular combat troops the Viet Cbng have at their command . Wholesale Commitment Needed Where are additional forces to be obtained? The increased United States draft will provide some of the necessary personnel. However, there is another, more readily available source of manpower. That source can be found in our allies , who are threatened by C o m m u n i s t aggression in Southeast Asia . These allies should have a more immediate concern over the outcome of the war in Viet Nam than even , the United States. Upon request they should be willing to provide a substantial increase in their combat forces in Viet Nam . Already a start has been made in this direction. Australia has some expeditionary forces in Viet Nam . Over the past weekend, South Korea sent in some forces of its own. So far, however , these forces have been too small to have any appreciable effect on the war in Viet Nam. What is needed is a wholesale commitment by our allies in Southeast Asia, if we are to achieve a lasting victory in South Viet Nam .

By making such craft available to our forces in Viet Nam , we would be able to cut drastically Viet Cong arms shipments, thus shortening the time needed to bring total victory to Viet Nam. It is clear that there are many steps that remain to be taken, in the air, on the land. and on the seas, before the United States can say that it has made a total commitment toward winning the war in Viet Nam. Until that commitment has been made we must still ask, "Are we trying to win in Viet Nam?" attention to my office, and will help the College and the class of 1968 as much as I can.

Just as the leaves and wind differ not in composition, but only in individuality, so do the species of students remain constant. This year again brings different seniors to spread their dominance among three subordinate classes. The juniors add their substantial bit of authority to that of the seniors to override the two remaining subservient classes. Not about to be left out, the sophomores join their superiors, as much as they are allowed to, in forcing into submission the last remaining. little-thought-of, rarely consulted, scum of the earth - the frosh. Enter Don Trodden, a bewildered, hunted frosh. Don's present position, besides that of lowly frosh . is Gies Hall. The time: 8:55 a.m. By 9 a .m. Don must be in Parrish Hall, fifth ffoor. The problem: 1595 scheming upperclassmen strategically located between Gies and Parrish. The possible solutions: A) By tunneling to Parrish, one eliminates upperclassmen, but have you ever tried to manipulate a shovel with one hand while dragging a pull-toy with the other? Besides. time is of the essence. B) A second solution would be for Don to remove his clink and signs, draw circles under his eyes, breathe with hard, vicious pants, and crash through the door and into the street. impersonating an upperclassman looking for a frosh. But there's one give -away to this seemingly perfect plan. Just how many upperclassmen wear their pants with one leg rolled up, one green sock, one blue one, and a note written on his . left (and only) sneaker, that says, ··· s~-~ke Pot"? Now I ask you, how many? And the only possible way to eliminate this subproblem would lead t6 a very prompt arrest for indecent exposure.

McCrossen, has returned to the College to head the English department remarkable because of his prominent literary background. Dr. McCrossen is a native of Meshoppen, Pennsylvania, and is presently residing there. He obtained his A .B. degree from Dickinson College, graduating with valedictory honors, and later achieved his Ph. D . at the University of Pittsburgh. His doctoral dissertation dealt with European literature , both continental and insular. After teaching at Wilkes during I 933-34, he assumed duties at Bucknell University until 1946, at which time he was appointed chairman of the division of humanities at Marietta College. In 1949 he began the first of sixteen years as professor of comparative literature at Boston College, culminating with the acceptance of the position of chairman of the English department at Wilkes in 1965. Dr. Mc Cr o s s e n believes that " . . . writing is an integral part of one's academic existence." In illustration of this belief, Dr. McCrossen has published over 300 magazine articles and eight books, embracing a vast scope of interests. A few examples of these publications are: THE EMPTY ROOM . . . a plea for the United Nations to get down to the basic truths; ELMS TWO ARE DYING . . . a discourse on the death of freedom in the United States; and "European Roats of the Concord School." These and many others of Dr. McCrossen's writings have brought him both national and international acclaim. Among his many literary distinctions, he has been listed in Who's Who in America, in Burke's Peerage of London ( its "Most Distinguished American" and "Authors' and Writers' Who's Who" divisions) , and was �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 4 C:avallini Proposes Calendar Revisions by Leona Sokash Cavallini explained that freshmen are protected from these " zealots" by Student Government. Such upperclassmen should be reported to Student Government, because these upperclassmen are an swerable to Student Government for their abuse of fresh man orientation; and, at the very least, the guilty parties will be placed on social probation; for Cavallini said: "Student Government has the authority to make sure that upperclassmen do not get out of hand. " Concerning his position as Student Government president, John Cavallini recently stated: "I consider myself the administrative head of Student Government, not, so to speak, the person who rules the roost. I feel my position calls for leading, not pushing. I express and will express my ideas to Student Government, but I also expect Student Government to come up w ith ideas. " As part of his leading policy, Cavallini has proposed an •amendment to the Student Government Constitution, w hich he hopes Student Government will pass. The amendment calls for class representation to be increased by one additional member per clas~; therefore each class would be represented by five students instead of the present four. Cavallini explained his reasons for proposing the amendment: "Though Student Government membership has remained the same throughout the years, classes have increased, and with them, Student Government responsibilities. Therefore, we need additional representatives in Student Government.·· Another of Cavallini's plans for this y ear is to have a committee try to arrange lectures ( which will be held in the Fine Arts Center') given by some of the authors of various textbooks used on campus. JOHN CAVALLINI He expressed the opinion that the problem this year is not one of hazing unwilling freshman ( "Some of them are willing."), but one of controlling certain zealous upperclassmen who have hazed freshmen in a manner w hich the Student Governm ent head described as " in very bad taste." He went on to say : "Upperclassmen are supposed to be responsible college stuConcerning the controversy over dents. They are here to help, not hazing (it's been called off, no it hinder, the freshmen." hasn't, etc.), Cavallini stated that hazing is a Student Government activity, and that only Student Government has the power to call it off. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 /lone ~n9/'ovilr9 Cc. Cavallini also plans to have the school calendar revised. Because of the lateness of Student Government elections, and consequently because of the lateness of Cavallini's assumption of the presidency ( the week before final exams), work on the calendar was not begun until the week of final exams. Because of the short time alloted to committee and because of its difficulty in contacting students concerned with the various activities whose dates were being projected (some had already returned home for summer vacation) , certain discrepancies have arisen in the calendar. To remedy the situation, Cavallini plans to make the necessary changes in the calendar. Heavy weekends will be lightened and sparse weekends will have other activities added to their schedul es.

GRAHAMS PENN BARBER SHOP Friday, October 1, 1965 Wherefore Park Thou, Students? by Lorraine Sokash Due to the construction of the College's new dorm and cafeteria, the Wright Street area can no longer be used as a parking lot. Therefore, the administration has been confronted with the problem of finding ample parking space for day students. The administration decided to use college property in Kirby Park as a parking lot for student cars and to operate a shuttle bus system. Last week, the Beacon conducted a survey to obtain student reaction to the new system. Students were asked: " Do you feel that the shuttle bus is the best possible solution to the parking problem? What improvements can be made?" Many students replied that they didn 't use the shuttle bus while others stated: Stole BPI To Send Group For Evoluolion by Claudia Hoch On October 19, 20, and 21, a representative of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction and representatives of various colleges will visit the College to evaluate our teachers' education program. Under the program instituted last year, students can no longer major in secondary education , but are required to select a major from one of the major subject areas. Under the new system, individual departmental programs have defined the necessary course requirements for the prospective teacher. Formerly. upon graduation, the student's transcript was sent to the Department of Public Instruction for approval. If the Department found that the student had completed the required amount, it would issue a provisional teach ing certificate to him. The purpose of the present evaluation is to eliminate the need for the approval of the Department of Public Instruction. Upon e v a I u a t i o n and approval of the programs of each of our departments, the College itself will possess the right to issue teaching certificates. This will greatly simplify the procedure at the Department of Public Instruction . This idea has already been inaugurated at other colleges throughout the state, but its inauguration at the College has been detained due to the changing programs of secondary education majors. Two Classes Nominate Nominations were held recently by the sophomore and senior classes to nominate one Student Government representative from each class and presidential candidates for the class of 1968. William Webb is sole nominee for Student Government representative of the senior class. Joseph Gatto, Eugene Santarelli, and Robert Thompson are running for sophomore Student Government representative. Those nominated by the sophomore class for president are Joseph Kiefer and Jay Ruckel. Elections are being held today in the cafeteria from 9 a .m. to 4 p .m. All members of the representative classes are eligible to vote. Art Trevethan - "Since there is no other solution at the moment, it's th e best.

The new mentor, a former Wilkes tackle, will handle the line coaching duties. Adonizio held the tackle position for four years at St. John 's _ High School in Pittston and for two years at the Universi ty of Pittsburgh before transferring to Wilkes. He was graduated from Wilkes in 1965 with a B.S. in business education. While a , student at Wilkes, Adonizio played under coaches Schmidt, Jonah Goobic, and Frank Spudis. Adonizio will replace coach Spudis, who was forced to give up his coaching duties to devote his time to pressing business matters.

Taking advantage of Jay Holliday's interception, the Colonels emerged from the evenly fought first half with a 7-0 lead, scoring on a Roshong pass to Mike Connolly. While the Colonels and the Dutchmen played statistically even ball in the first half, Wilkes, with fourteen first downs, dominated play in the second half. Setting the pace for this stanza, the Colonels took the opening kickoff and scored again on a Roshong pass, this time a 37 yarder, to Joe Skvarla. Then in the fourth quarter, showing fine ball control, the Colonels marched 52 yards using four firstdowns and ten plays. In this drive, fullback Ray Lowery carried eight times and in one stretch produced three firstdowns in five carries. Wilkes finally scored on a 3 yard plunge by Roger Beatty, sophomore halfback. The Colonels defense, not to be outdone, stymied the Dutchmen's ground game, while intercepting two of their passes. A fourth period safety by the defen se added 2 insurance points. The Dutchmen, unable to put together a good T.D. drive until their last series of downs, first scored in the third quarter on a drive sustained by a fumbled punt, an offsides penalty , and a reception of a deflected pass.

Although Schmidt would not actually commit himself, from the information given and from the results o_f last Saturday 's gam e, a logical conclusion is that this will be a very good year for the gridders. Coach Schmidt was greeted by the largest turnout of candidates in the College 's history, among whom were thirteen lettermen and a large number of freshmen. The team will be led by Captain Ralph Hendershot, a junior, sophomore tackle Jack Gallagher, quarterback Rich Roshong, backs Paul Purta and Roger Beatty, and Ray Lowery at fullback. They are all experienced upCOLONEL OFFENSIVE IN ACTION perclassmen. In addition there are many promising freshmen , two-thirds of the entire team, who have yet to prove themselves. Some frosh who were outstanding against Lebanon Valley were end Joe Skvarla and halfback Mike Connolly, both of whom scored on passes. Linemen Comstock, Loverro, Layden, Sweeny and Merrill also participated in Saturday's game. The Colonel's defensive backfield, composed mainly of freshmen , was .,,, · also particularly good. Key performers _ were fresh m e n Davies, Kane, Wiendl and Holliday and upperclassmen Varchol. Yatko and Purta. Another bright spot in the outlook is the specialty department. The fine punt returns of freshmen Malloy and Forde, the punts of Ray Lowery . and the place kicking of Paul Purta round out the team. The fate of the team lies with the " freshmen. If they can d~velop auickly and make up in skill and desire what they lack in experiencP, they can helo the team immE>asureablv. Th E> schedule is rough and the team is relatively, but th ev show a df'sire to win. Coach Schmidt stated that if the freshm en can develop ,md the 11noerclassmen continue to show thE>ir lead- ershio and ability. and if they rnn avoid m1unes, th en Wilkes can develop into one of the fine st teams in the conference. With C'leven returninq letterMen and a host of capable freshmen. the soccer outlook is also oood. Coach F erris' hooters will have a new, level field to replace the old, hilly one.

Athlete of the Week." Lowery is a 6' 212 lb. fullback hailing from Wilkes-Barre. A political science major, Lowery is a welcome transfer from Cornell, where he won freshman numerals in football. Lowery showed great promise for the coming season with his bull-like rushes, w hich set up two touchdowns aga inst a formidable Lebanon Valley squad. Against the Dutchmen he carried 25 times for a total of 99 yards. For his heroics he was chosen fu11back on the E .C.A.C. first team. On one sustained drive he carried the ball seven times in succession . Several times he plowed through the Dutchman line with as many as four defenders on his back. Lowery kept the fan s on their toes with some quick and accurate punts. Credit also must be given to the excellent blockinq on th e part of the Colonel lin e.

Students on the Court are Ed Pashinski, Harry Russin, and Bob Zebrowski. Stephen Rasi is the faculty member; Dr. Francis Michelini is the administration member. All were elected by acclamation. The idea of subsidizing clubs was discussed and informally approved by Student Government. If given a budget from Student Government, clubs could set up a better program, thereby supplementing their educational value. This program might increase membership in clubs and would insure that money be spent on club programs instead of social affairs. Administration approval must be obtained before the plan can go into effect. The United Fund drive is under way with Joe Brillinger as chairman. Dorm students will receive their pledge cards through JDC. Pledge cards will be di stributed among the day students through the executive council of each class. Freshman day students may pick up their pledge cards on the first floor of Chase Hall from 9 to 12 a .m. and I to 4 p.m. Funds raised from the sale of smoking permits to freshmen ' w ill also go to the United Fund. r Plans are proceeding for Homecoming.

Skits-ophrenio Hit s Frosh Steve Gavala and Helen Dugan nison's prize-fighting skit unfortunately flopp ed because of audio deficiency. In the decorous, spacious atmosphere of the gymnasium, a thespian extravaganza was presented on Thursday, September 30 - Skit Night. As the first skit was to be presented, a hush fell over the audience as they anxiously anticipated the entertainment that they were about to witness. Sadly, however, this silence, barring few exce ptions, never seemed to leave the audience. Several groups should be quite happy over the night's presentations for the publicity alone. Gillette should be happy to know that James Bond uses Right Guard; Sanitary Laundry Serv ice should not only be grateful for all the free publicity, but also for the number of new ways to utilize its laundry service as loin cloths, fashionable dresses, etc. Variety was the element of the night, for the skits appealed to all areas of interest. For those inclined to the realm of fantasy there were the Grimms' Fairy Tales of "Cinderumbrella " and "Snow Blue." "Repulsive Rapunzel" let down her hair aided by the girls of Slocum Hall. The members of the audience were geographically orientated by Susquehannock Hall w ith a tour of the points of greatest interest in the Wilkes-Barre area. Sterling Hall's skit, enlightened by " Peachy " O'Connor, aired the scandal of the College. The trophies were presented to the Y.M.C.A., and to Hollenback Hall for its reminiscent song of the gifts left to the dorm by former male residents. Though the audience persisted in their cries of "Beast, Beast," "Boo," and " Give them the Hook," the players still bounded forth.

Bear Ye! �WILKES Page 2 The Price Is Right It is common knowledge by now at the College that our football team has won its first two games of the season. We offer our congratulations to the players and the coaches and wish them more of the same in the remaining games. There has been, however, an undercurrent of dissatisfaction beneath the general tide of optimism and good will that has been brought about by the team's victories. The essence of the complaints seems to be this: The team is finally winning some games, probably because we have better football players. We have better players because we have been offering athletic scholarships to prospective students. To get the mo1,1ey fo~ th~se scholarships, we must cut down on other students financial aid. Here lies the problem - are we really offering scholarships to athletes and are we really depriving other needy students? The answer is an emphatic NO. The College has continued this year the admission policy which it has held to rigidly for years; this policy is that no student shall be co_nsidered for financial aid until he has been accepted for admission, and acceptance is based upon the applicant's former academic record. All financial aid is granted according to the individual student's needs; the " full athletic scholarship" is nonexistent, at least at the College. Mr. Arthur Hoover, Director of Financial Aid, has described the only change: " It's a continuation of our regular policy based on need, but for the first t!me we ha~e attempted to recruit and encourage the academically qualified student athlete to consider Wilkes as a choice of college and to participate actively in the intercollegiate sports program.''. He added that this recruiting has not been confined to prospective athletes, but has included prospective artists, musicians, physics majors, and so on down the line. Is anyone being deprived of .~is fair share of fin~ncial aid? Mr. Hoover stated emphatically, No one took a cut in scholarship in connection with this program." So this complaint is invalid. We endorse this policy as stated above by Mr. Hoover, and we hope that results in other areas prove as fruitful as those achieved by the football team. COLLEGE ~llhiJ It Friday, October 8, 1965 BEACON ~lllleJ Student Recommends Discussion On Hazing Recently many upperclassmen complained of the gross "lack of spirit" displayed by the current freshman class in regard to the hazing program. Was there a depreciation in spirit? John Cavallini, Student Government president, expressed the opinion that the class in itself cannot be blamed totally if there was such a decline, and that the class was indeed not much worse than others, considering the circumstances involved. According to Cavallini, the disruption of the organized plans also contributed to the tragic nature of this whole affair. The "cancelled" first tribunal and its subsequent impromptu rescheduling caused many freshmen to lose faith in freshman activities and procedures. This fact was exemplified by the lack of dinkwearing frosh from the time of the first tribunal on and also by the sparse attendance at the second tribunal. Because the schedule did not allow any occasion, other than the tribunals, for the freshman class to convene as a group, those who missed the tribunals failed to acquire as first-hand knowledge much important information, some of which became distorted in the retelling. This emphatically reveals the need for a constructive change in freshman hazing that will remain in accordance with honored traditions. During the ensuing school year, representatives of the various classes will meet to discuss this problem. Therefore it is important that the members of the student body express their opinions on the matter. Those who favor the continuance of freshman hazing will only aid the opposition by their inaction. Some recommendations which have been offered are: more effective dissemination of in- Cavallini referred to certain factors in clarification of this point. Noting that the College is largely a commuter college, he stated that day-hop frosh could much more easily escape detection than frosh from the dorms - hence the abundance of freshmen without clinks, etc. Also, as expressed in the previous issue, much of the lack of enthusiasm for the cherished tradition resulted from the extremes on the part of a few upperclassmen, and the coinciding ignorance on the part of the freshmen to the fact that these students could be effectively controlled through reWith the approach of ano!her Uni~ed F~nd Driv~ on ports of their activities to the campus we wonder if this year s campaign will res~lt in a Student Government. failure to meet its goal as so many have in the past.

These excuses and panaceas, however, are not about to solve the underlying problem. When one enters college, it is ~ assumed that he does not develop his intellectual capacities alone. It is also expected that the student complete the development of his character; and character implies self-discipline, independence integrity, and responsibility. Ah! Responsibility, now there'; the rub. Responsibility to whom? Responsibility to one's teachers, to one's family, to one's community, yes; but most important, responsibility to one's _fellow m:1n, P~rhaps_ it is time that the students of Wilkes begin accepting this particular kind of responsibility so that they may fully realize the HI ....114£ 6E"AVTY purposes of a college education.

Gavala Cue and Curtain has made many plans for the coming year, and due to the construction of the Fine Arts Theatre, many new areas of endeavor are now open to its members. In addition to continuing the production of • their own plays, the members will be involved in all programs presented in the theatre during the year. They will be completely responsible for all backstage technical work, lighting, staging, and sets for all presentations. Under the direction of Al Groh, and with members of the execu tive council acting as general chairmen of the major committees, the students will be involved in every aspect of production. These chairmen are Al Groh, staging; Stephen Gavala, house and program; Joanne Margolis, costumes and make-up; Margaret Klein , props and workshops; Bob Salsburg, sets; and Beverly Hanko Wisloski, publicity . Immediate undertakings include severa! theatre tours conducted by memhers of the Executive Council for local clubs and organizations; the dedication ceremony on October 25; and the Wilkes-Barre Ballet production , with guest artists, scheduled for October 31 . Casting is now under way for an Edward Albee play, "The D eath of Bessie Smith," which will be presented on Friday, November 5, for the enjoyment of the Alumni. Future plans include a series of three one-act plays to be presented in early December, and the tentative sc heduling of two complete three-act plays for the spring semester. Workshops in acting and theatre arts ( lighting, sets, make-up, etc.) are being planned and will be given periodically during the year. These workshops will enable inexperienced students to acquire skill in all areas which contribute to complete theatrical knowledge. They will be conducted by theatre members with specific abilities that lend themselves to some aspect of the th eatre. These workshops are the groundwork for future college accreditation in theatre participation. Donce Tomorrow The first main project and yearly obligation of the freshman class, the United Fund dance, will be held in the gym tomorrow , October 9, from 9 to 12 p.m. Students properly attired will be admitted to the gym where they may dance to the music of the Carlisles. Admission is 75 cents. The entire proceeds of the dance will be donated to the United Fund.

The win was just the second for Wilkes over the perennially tough Moravian squad in the past fifteen years. The Colonels displayed an especially strong defensive game in forcing the Greyhounds to - 27 net yards gained in rushing. Al Yatko, a former Coughlin gridder, alone had nine unassisted first hits. The hard hitting defense allowed Moravian only one scoring break in the en tire game. The only lapse in the Colonel defense came in the opening minutes of the second half. Ralph Eltringham, the Greyhounds quarterback, fumbled the kickoff on his own 6-yard line but recovered and raced 91 yards for Moravian's only touchdown. Brian Parry added the extra point. The Colonel offense seemed doomed to be stalled on or inside the Moravian I 0-yard stri pe. In the first quarter, with the ball on the Moravian five. the Colonels failed to make the needed ya rd and a half for a first down and the ball went over to Moravian. Midway into the second quarter, Wilkes took over on the Moravian 15-yard line. Rich Roshong completed two passes to Connolly and Purta for a total of 31 yards. Roshong then carried the ball down to the Moravian 2-yard stripe from where Ray Lowery slanted off tackle for the Colonels' first score. Paul Purta added the extra point on th e first of two successful placement kicks. In the third quarter, with the score tied 7-7, Wilkes took over on their own 35-yard line. The Colonels then proceeded to march 61 yards to Moravian's I-yard stripe, but a holding penalty put them back to the sixteen. They failed to make it into paydirt on two tries. Purta's attempted field goal from the twenty hit the crossbar and bounced back. Moravian took over, but the Colonel defense held and forced the Greyhounds to punt. Wilkes took ove r on the Moravian 18-yard stripe and from th ere marched down to the fourteen . A fake fi eld goal attempt was stopped on the Moravian ten. With all the breaks going aqainst Wilkes, it seemed that the Colonels would never get one of their own, but the hard hitting defense forced a Morav ian back to fumble and Wilkes recovered on the Greyhound 's eig ht. In three plays the Colonels moved the ball to the I-yard line. In a do or die attempt, Roshong kept the ball and plunged over for the winning touchdown. Purta again added the extra point. Last week's victory puts the Colonels' log at 2-0. Centenary 2-0 by Chris Sulat The girls' hockey team, coached by Mrs. Doris B. Saracino, opened its season last Tuesday with a 2-0 victory over C entenary College for Women. The goals were scored by Marie Persic, Captain, and Betsy Jo Compton, Co-Captain. N either team scored during the first half, although both teams had many chances. The Wilkes line, which had appeared weak in the first half, seemed to overcome th e lack of teamwork and scored two goals in the second half of the game. The backfield, which seemed especially strong during the game, did a good job backing up the forward line. Particularly outstanding was goalie Janice Evans who played the whole game with a broken finger. Colonels' Paul Purta seeks an opening in the Moravian defense as Rich Roshong is tackled from behind. Athlete of Week Leads Colonels' Defensive Efforts by George Pawlush This week the Beacon has chosen Al Yatko as the "Athlete of the Week." Yatko is a 6' 2", I 95 lb. linebacker hailing from Wilkes-Barre. A Junior accounting major, he is a welcome addition to the Colonel line, transferring from Temple, where he played on the freshman team. After sitting out his year of ineligibility he has become captain and mainstay of the Wilkes defense. Coach Rollie Schmidt maintains that Yatko is the finest linebacker in the M .A .C .

Although the score was in favor of the opponents, the Colonels outplayed the Vikings at every turn. The Wilkes offense was sparked by Rich Beck who scored all three of the Colonels' goals. Upsala was the first to draw blood in the opening minutes of play. The Vikings scored again in th e second quarter to take a 2-0 lead. Wilkes stormed back in the closing minutes of the second quarter to even the score, 2-2, when Rich Beck scored two quick goals. With only four minutes gone in the third quarter. the Colonels took th e lead w hen Beck scored again.

This past summer incoming freshmen read four works: The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran; The Negro in America, by Arnold Rose; The Nature of the Universe, by Fred Hoyle; and "The Zoo Story," a short play by Edward Albee. Once each week freshmen meet in individual groups, with an upperclassman presiding, in order to discuss the readings. John Cavallini, this year's chairman of the project, has expanded the program 's purposes. The program provides an opportunity for incoming freshmen to begin the reading habit early and therefore to better prepare themselves for formal college curriculum. The selection of literature is designed to stimulate thinking, motivate the examination and evaluation of one's own beliefs: and develop a set of personal va.lues. The student leader establishes an informal atmosphere and prompts the freshmen to feel free to offer opinions, and to develop clarity of expression. objective has already been met, for ideas which they themselves formulate most freshmen have read the books will probably be most long-lasting to in a thoughtful manner." them ." A recent publication contains the names of all colleges which require such book-reading by freshmen . States Cavallini, " Many of these schools merely require freshmen to read; they set up no sessions where the readings are discussed. We include discussion periods, for there are secondary objectives which we hope to attain through the program." Student Leaders Upperclass participants, from diverse major fields , include Al Airola, Mark Bencivengo, John Cavallini , Phil Cheifetz, Mike Devlon, Hermon George, Mark Hamdi, Anne Marie Micklo, Karen Moran , Paul Macko, Rosemary Rush, Harry Russin, Ron Russo, Al Saidman, Mike Sawchuk, and Frank Szumilo. From her sessions with freshmen , Miss Rush has observed that "Having heard ideas, the student, once prodded , is quite eager to express his own ideas. Continued participation aids him toward clear self-expression. " The books were selected on the basis of last year's response to readings and of the suggestions by faculty members of various departments. The committee has attempted to include selections from diverse realms of thought: philosophy, sociology, science, and contemporary literature. Miss Moran feels that "The program could bring more satisfactory results if, in the future, discussion leaders met earlier, each having read Ronald Russo, student teacher, and friends discuss a suggested book, so that the books assigned readings. could be evaluated by participants in the program before final selections the book selection adequate.

Gavala Three plays are scheduled for production in the Fine Arts Theatre this semester. Edward Albee's, "The Zoo Story," will be presented on two consecutive evenings for the benefit of the freshman class. Since the play is compulsory reading for freshmen , it is hoped that students will receive a better insight into the philosophies of the play through its presentation. Recreating the roles they performed last year at the Jewish Community Center will be Dave Fendrick, an alumnus of the College and former faculty member, and Fred Harrison, a local businessman.

Campaign Progress Beporled by Jane Jancik The United Fund Drive, now being conducted on a national basis, has officially begun on the College campus, according to Joe Brillinger, gen eral chairman. Brillinger, who is working in conjunction with Arthur Hoover, Gordon Roberts and George Elliot, announced that the campaign will continue until the end of October. The method being used to contact the individual students is an innovation this year. Cards are being distributed to the different classes in the following manner: dormitory students will be contacted through the InterDormitory Council ; upperclassmen day students can either give their donations to the executive council members who contacted them . or mail them to Hoover in Chase Hall. Freshmen were instructed at their class meeting to pick up their cards any day from 9-12 a.m. and 1-4 p.m. on the first Aoor of Chase. Beginning next week, they can then either give their donations to club members who will be seated at a special table in Chase for the purpose, or they, to , can mail them in. The purpose of the cards is to enable the campaign members to know who has contributed. The student can keep the smaller stub as a receipt. In connection with the drive, a United Fund Dance was held recently by the freshmen. They raised $200 toward the fund. Brillinger has expressed hope that " this campaign will surpass last year's. I feel the method of distribution is more efficient, and if every student gives according to his own means, the drive will be a success." Club Elects The Art Club opened its 1965-66 program with the election of club officers. They are Allan Littlefield, president ; Wayne Sittner, vice-president; Susie Baker, secretary; Becky Bannon, treasurer: Virginia Llewellyn, public relations. At club meetings, demonstrations and lectures will be given by people in the art field . SG Disputes Homecoming Candidates Rosemary Rush has been appointed by Student Government as its representative to the Five-College Council. The College exchanges Beacons and Student Government minutes with the other member schools. A folk night. sponsored by the Five-College Council, has been tentatively scheduled for November 12. Student Government has decided to donate $200 to the fund to finance a room in the new library in memory of Mrs. Farley. The room will contain music, art , and poetry books. A constitutional amendment to Articl e III, Section I , sub-sections I and 3, has been formulated. The amendment provides that five representatives be elected from each class to Student Government, for a total of 21. The amendment must also be approved by the administrative council before it can be submitted to the students for a vote. The Homecoming dinner-dance will be held in the gym ; a decorations committee will be formed . At elections for homecoming queen last week, a question arose as to whether medical technology students who are presently residing at hospitals for their senior year, but seem to meet the criteria, should have been included on the voting roster. The administration had prepared the list for Student Government, and it was decided by Student Government that the elections be valid. There is still a possibility that the nominations may be contested. Pledge cards for the United Fund drive have been distributed. The sale of smoking permits netted $13. Approximately $200 was raised at the United Fund Dance last week. The deadline for contributions is the end of October. It was suggested that used books be sold in an organized fashion by Student Government or some other College organization. All books for sale would be collected in a designated place with the requested price marked on them. The organization in charge of this undertaking would be allowed to charge a small fee for the service. Judy Simonson will be investigating the feasibility of this plan. �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 15, 1965 Jette,-, tc t,e (t/itc,- WHY?

The boom in graduate study is illustrated by the fact that 68-85 % of the undergraduates of large colleges attend graduate schools. The experts in academic statistics estimate tha t next fall 105,000 students will enter graduate schools in the country for their doctoral studies, and at the same time there will be a w arded 15 ,000 Ph.D 's. It is very important that Wilkes College graduates think early about their graduate studies a nd the possibilities of getting into graduate schools.

It is estimated that 80 % of the 105,000 graduate students ne xt fall w ill receive some kind of financi a l assistance , and thi s aid w ill accelerate in the future.

The official end of the tw o week fiasco of illmatched clothes and unorthodox capers, as it now sta nd s, is the symbolic tug-of-war on Parents ' Day. How thi s is supposed to signify the final blow in ha zing is rather vague. The end that is properly fitti ng as the final act of subordination is Hell Nite, but that ha s been pulled from the historic pages of the College . I hardly thi nk Hell Nite was eliminated because of sparse attendance. The WilkesBarre police will verify the attendance record. By taking a w a y Hell Nite one is also taking a w ay the annual chance for fru strated parents to say, " Look Harry . Look at those cra zy college kids.

First of all only through such events as Hell Nite can new students be in touch w ith upperclassmen . Secondly, the fro sh like Hell Nite. The fro sh are happy. Don ' t take this little bit of happiness from lowly frosh. Allow them to live their life at the College free from inhibitions that ha ve built up inside them.

Park into a parking area and to provide a shuttle bus system, costing one nickel per trip, to carry students to classes. In the picture is this parking area. Its facilities can accommodate approximately 200 cars; only 29 parking permits have been issued so far this year. At this time the shuttle bus system is still in operation. However, the College is finding that the permits and the nickels of these 29 students do not cover the expenses of the bus. Should this bus service be discontinued? WHY has the student body ignored these services? WHAT are the objections to this system? We encourage you to express your opinions on this situation through our Letters To The Editor column. Our deadline is Monday at 5 p.m. Ackerman's Amnicola This past week the 1965 AMNICOLA was distributed on campus. At a time when Growth is a key word at the College, the staff has appropriately taken the original meaning of the word Amnicola, "that which grows and dwells by a river," and has adapted this theme to College life. Two features of the book are especially commendable. The section on Encounters at the end of the book contains candid shots of students and faculty in class. Bob Ford's artistic interpretation of the Growth theme appears on the divider pages between each section of the book and on the cover. Just as the figures on the cover of the book observe the growth of the flower, so can one note the Growth of the College through the content of the book. Also praiseworthy are the book's excellent photography with its more extensive use of color shots, its imaginative layout, and its inclusive coverage of all phases of campus activity. We congratulate Editor Keith Ackerman and his staff for their efforts. Through the combination of their creative abilities, perseverance, and hard work they have produced a truly memorable AMNICOLA.

"Dramatizing Our American Heritage" is the main address to be given by Paul Green, a playwright, former professor of philosophy and now a member of the department of dramatic arts at the University of North Carolina. Since a large part of the benefits of the new theatre will be received by the students, Alfred Airola, president of Cue and Curtain, will give an expression of student appreciation. The last part of the program will consist of the singing of the Alma Mater by the audience accompanied by the College chorus and concert band . Dr. Abraham D .

"A s a result of the limited sea ting capacity of the new center, attendance at the dedication will be by invitation." However, to allow students and members of the , community to acquaint themselves with the center, an open house will be held the following Sunday, October 31. Red Cross Unit Out For Blood The annual Blood Donor drive at the College will be held Wednesday, October 27, in the gym from 9 a .m. to 4 p.m. Th e drive is being sponsored by the American Red Cross, although the Circle K and the Jaycees are in charge of obtaining commitments and scheduling volunteers for the commuting students and IDC representatives are handling th e dormitory stu dents. Dean Ral ston has indicated his interest in and backing of this campaign and has set this year's goal at 300 pints. Barry Miller, co-chairman with W a y n e Bloomburg and Norman Kresge has stated hi s concern for last year's lag by the commuting students, and explained that " the problem involved in contacting the day students .. . a situation not present in relation to th e dormitory students . . . was the main factor. " Any students who wish to donate blood on Wednesday, and have not had the opportunity to obtain a registration card, may go directly to the gym with a note of parental consent. �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE Friday, October 22, 19 BEACON Jette,-, tc t,e {t/itc,- Absence 01 Taste Buds Necessary For Survival DO IT!

Emaciatedly yours, Gastric Revolt Athletics Dear Editor: In your recent editorial on athletic scholarships, you stated that the reason that we are winning more games is that Wfi'. have recruited better players. However it is highly unlikely that a scholarship program to the College. would produce such spectacular results in its first year. There* fore , I think more credit should be given to the coaches and the players, who are the ones really responsible for Wilkes standing at the head of the MAC with a 3 and l record. Premature Optimism Regarding your optimism about the recruiting and schol* arship program, I feel it is a little premature. You have pointed out that no one else will suffer because of this program; for them, the " price is right". But what is the cost to the athlete? You have compared scholarships given to prospective athletes with those given to artists, musicians, and physics majors. When one of the above students spends more time on his major, he is rewarded with better grades. However, when an athlete spends a long busy day on the practice field . he is rewarded with that tired, rundown feeling, which is not at all conducive to studying at night. For the athlete the price might not be right! Athletes' Price Who can see to it that the price is right for the athlete? The coaches are the ones responsible to their players for this. They must realize th?t their charges are here first of all to acquire an education and not to turn Wilkes into another Crimson Tide. It is to the coaches' advantage to see that their athletes survive academically so that they can return to the }lridiron, court, or diamonci in the following years. If the coaches keep this in mind , then , truly, the price will be right for all.

P.. PA~iY. .. , . Dear Editor: Why! I'll tell you why! Because it costs too much . That's one reason why. Another reason why is that it is an inconvenience. According to my latest calculations, it costs $17.50 per semester to park at the college facilities . That's about $10 too much. Furthermore, it is possible to park in a nearby twenty*five*cent-a-dav lot for $18.75 per semester. And if you wish to have a car pool. it is cheaper to park in your nearby friendly parking lot. My computer has not yet calculated the exact figures. Long Trip Since the majority of day students are East*side residents, it is a further inconvenience to travel past the school and over to Kirby Park , then back. It takes the average day student twenty minutes to get to school. The trip across the river will add at least ten minutes to that. What do the students whose extra*curricular activities keep tl1em late do? It's a long walk to Kirby Park. I have no solutions to the problem ; I'm only t e 11 in g ·· why". But I'm sure the College's far-sighted planners can find one. Until they do, I'll park in my nearby, friendly , twenty* five-cents-a-day lot.

Although 96 per cent of the people are Lutheran, the Swedes rarely practice religion. The three or four people who can be found in each church on Sunday are usually the older citizens. Eva confides that "Although some of the people belive in God, most of them are members of a church in name only," ' Tm afra id you would think of u s as being quite conservative, though , when it comes to dancing ," said Eva . The popular dances in Sweden are still the fo x trot and the waltz although th e twist and th e shake is don e on a much small er and less common basis . But even with th e Americans going wild on the danc e floor , Eva says they are much lazi er when it comes to transportation. V ery few students have cars in Sweden but most people have bicycles. The few cars they have are small o nes, not like the huge ones that are so common here. Walking , which seems to have become ex tinct here, is a very popular pas time and is not considered to be a deprivation as it seems to be in the United States. Eva's off-the-cuff wittiness keeps a listener on his toes. When as ked what she though about the new th eory of th e Scandinavian d i s c o v e r y of America, she calmly replied , " Oh, we could ha ve told you that a long tim e ago." Because of Eva's late arrival and week of sickness she will not be working for credits in her subjects. She will not have use for credits anyway, for when s he returns to Sweden next June her school days will be over and she will continu e her work as a tour leader. �WILKES Page 4 COLLEGE BEACON Biologist Goes "Buggy" by Leona Sokash in class . . I .. want . my . students ..to develop their own attitudes; and when they make statements on certain subjects, they should not look to me for approval or disapproval." Thomas Mizianty, new member of the biology department, was graduated from the University of Scranton (" That's in Scranton.") with a B.S. degree in biology. He later received his M.S. from the University of D elaw,r(!, which will also grant him his Ph.D. next June. His doctoral thesis is concrned with the study of the rela'.ionship between enzym e activity ( " I know my students know what enzymes are.") and the process of aging in insects, particularly in wasps. Mr. l\.1izia nty feels the purpose of his course, biology 101-102, is to make his students realize the relationsh ip between biology and the events and the attitudes which will influence their lives. "My students will never he scientists, but they should realize the manner in which biology influences their lives. They need to understand how a factual knowledge of biology could shape th eir liv:es, and they s!10uld allow this factual knowledge to enter into the decisions they will make on such controversial topics as birth control. I feel attitudes towards such topics should be modeled not only by religious beliefs, but also by scien tific knowledge." Resides his interest in biology, Mr. Mizianty is also fascinated by music. His record collection comprises examples from the Baroque to the Modern. While he appreciates the merits of each period, he is particularly intrigued by romantic compositions. When asked to name a favorite composer, he chose Tchaikovsky. "He's a lu sh romantic, but I enjoy him anyway - especially the Violin and First Piano Concertos." Among the modern composers, he is not enthused by •· he wo rk of Bartok or Hindemith. However, he does enjoy Aeron Copeland and Leonard Bernstein . THOMAS MIZIANTY His philosophy of teaching requires him to maintain a neutral position on subjects of controversy. He feels his students should accept or reject ideas on their own. "I don't intentionally try to present my opinions He considers Dostoevsky 's The Brothers Karamazov to be one of his favorite books because of the profoundness of its theme. Because reading this novel causes intellectual speculation , which is Mr. Mizianty 's chief educational aim, he is particularly .. glad that the freshm en are reading it.

TWELVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING Today I begin my twelfth year of writing this column in your campus newspaper. These dozen years have passed like a dozen minutes. In fact, I would not believe so much time has gone by except that I have my wife nearby as a handy reference. When I started this column, she was a mere slip of a girl-supple as a willow bough and fair as the morn. Today she is gnarled, lumpy, and given to biting the postman. Still, I count myself lucky. Most of my friends who were married at the same time have wives who chase cars all day. I myself have never had this trouble, and I attribute my good fortune to the fact that I have never struck my wife with my hand. I have always used a folded newspaper, even during the prolonged newspaper strike of 1961 in New York. During this journalless period I had the airmail edition of the Manchester Guardian flown in daily from England. I must admit, however, that it was not entirely satisfactory. The airmail edition of the Guardian is printed on paper so light and flimsy that it makes very little impression when one smacks one's wife. Mine, in fact, thought it was some kind of game and tore several pairs of my trousers. But I digress. For twelve years, I say, I have been writing this column. That is a fact, and here is another: I shave every morning with Personna Stainless Steel Blades. I bring up Personna Stainless Steel Blades because this column is sponsored by the makers of Personna and they are inclined to brood if I omit to mention their products. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Or.

Not, let me hasten to state, that it is any chore for me to sing the praises of Personna-as you will agree once you try this sharpest, smoothest-shaving, longest-lasting blade ever devised by the makers of Personna Blades-now available both in Double Edge and Injector style. Personna, always the most rewarding of blades, today offers even an extra reward-a chance to grab yourself a fistful of $100 bills from a $100,000 bowl!

And, by the way, while you're at your friendly Personna dealers, why don't you ask for a can of Burma Shave? It comes in Regular or Menthol; it soaks rings around any other lather, and it's made by the makers of Personna. But I digress. For twelve years, I say, this column has been discussing, forthrightly and fearlessly, such burning campus questions as "Should students be allowed to attend first-hour classes in pajamas?" and "Should deans be retired at age 25?" and "Should foreign exchange students be held for ransom?". Today, continuing the tra<lition, we take up the thorniest academic problem of all: the high cost of tuition. Let me tell you how one student, Lintel Sigafoos by name, solved this problem. Lintel, while still a boy in Straitened Circumstances, Idaho, had his heart set on college, but, alas, he couldn't afford the tuition. He applied for a Regents Scholarship but, alas, his reading speed was not very rapid-only two words an hour-and before he finished even the first page of his exam, the Regents had closed their briefcases crossly and gone home. Lintel then applied for an athletic scholarship, but he had, alas, only a single athletic skill-balancing an ice cream cone on his chin-and this, alas, aroused only fleeting enthusiasm among the coaches. And then he found the answer: he would get a student loan! Of course, he would have to pay it back after graduation, but clever Lintel solved that, too: he kept changing his major, never accumulating enough credits to graduate until he was 65 years old. Then he repaid the loan out of his Social Security. Where there's a will, there's a way. *** © 1965, Max Shulman The makers of Personna®Stainless Steel Blades and Burma Shave®are happy to bring you another season of Max Shulman's uncensored, uninhibited, and unpredictable column.

PORTA AND BECK GAIN BEACON HONORS FOR PERFO·RMANCE Stepping in to share this week 's Beacon "Athlete of the W eek Award " is Paul Purta . Earlier this week Purta was named halfback on the E.C.A .C . weekly AllEast Squad. Purta was extremely outstanding in leading the C olonels to a 34-0 victory over Ursinus. He personally accounted for 15 points, which included three placements. Overall, he amassed 172 yards in 15 carries for an 11.4 average. His second touchdown was one of the longest in the M .A.C. this year , covering a distance of 88 yards. Purta has shown great form in his running all year, being able to fake his intended tacklers to gain extra yardage. His great show of running typifies the ground attack which the Colonels have successfully used this year. Purta is a 6', 195-pound junior elementary educat ion major hailing from Wilkes-Barre. While at Coughlin High School he lettered three times and was named to t~e Unico squad in his senior year. At the College he has earned letters in football in his freshman and sophomore years. Early in the fourth quarter, Mike Connolly returned a punt from his own 40 to the Ursinus 22. A 32-yard Roshong-Skvarla aerial put Wilkes in good scoring opportunity on the 5. Two plays later Roshong circled end for Wilkes fourth talley. Purta added the placement. Late in the same quarter, second string quarterback Joe Fripolli put the final touches on the victory feast by firing a 26 yard scoring pass to Bill Schneider. The Colonels completely dominated the statistical department. Wilkes again had a big day on the ground, grinding out 378 yards and picking up an extra 91 through three pass completions in six tries. Ursinus gained only 56 yards on the ground and 17 through the air on three pass receptions. Purta led the Colonels ground attack with 172 yards in I 5 carries for an 11.4 average. Roshong also had a profitable day in gaining 94 yards in 12 carries for an 8.8 average.

NORTHAMPTON STREET Phone: 823-9365 Valley. Muhlenberg is a new addition to the Colonels' schedule after a lapse of several years. The Mules concentrate primarily on a passing offense, and coach Ray Whispell promised that the Mules will throw at least 35 passes per game. To prove that Whispell meant what he said, Muhlenberg and quarterback Ron Henry lead the league in passing. It seems, however, that the passes fail to produce touchdowns. Muhlenberg lost the nucleus of its line through graduation . Whispell blames many of the mistakes thus far on the inexperienced line. The Mules are at a further disadvantage this week because of injuries to several key players. Linebacker John Shantz, who is the defensive signal caller, was injured several weeks ago and has not yet fully recovered. According to Whispell, his replacement, John Churchman , is doing an outstanding job. Also lost for a time , because of injuries, are halfbacks Roger Toney and Jim Rau . These two are vital parts of the Mule 's passing game. Their replacements, however, do not deserve to be overlooked. The Mules will have to contend with the Colonels' powerful runnino game, but in turn the Colonels will have to sharpen their passing defense to cope with the Muhlenberg passing attack. The Mules will be anxious to end their losing streak and topple the MAC leader. PAUL PURTA Beck Named This week the Beacon also goes to the soccer team to select Rich Beck, a sophomore psychology major, to share this week 's Athlete of the Week honors. Beck has shown outstanding speed and agility in his performance on the Swi1ni,,,ers To Begin Practice soccer field . He holds down the position of left-wing although he has the ability to shift to any line position. He has developed an outstanding shot from the outside which has aided the Colonels in many tight situations. Beck had been averaging a goal per week until this week. Beck is a graduate of Girard College of Philadelphia. He was a triletterman in his junior and senior years at Girard. He lettered in soccer, wrestling, and baseball. Beck is a 5' IO", 145-pounder from Benezette, Pennsylvania. Last year he was elected to the MAC first team and also received honorable mention for the All-Pennsylvania, New Jersey , and Delaware squad. For their outstanding performances on their respective teams, the Beacon would like to congratulate Paul Purta and Rich Beck. Colonelelles Close With 1-4 Record by Chris Sulat The girls hockey team ended its season last Tuesday with a 9- 1 loss to Muhlenberg College. The Wilkes goal was scored by team captain Marie Persic. It was the first time any team has ~cored against Muhlenberg in two years. Muhlenberg has a strong defensive line and the Colonels had trouble breaking through to reach the ooal. The Wilkes offense showed ~ore speed and teamwork than it had in previous games. Early in the first half, as Muhlenberg scored their first goal, center halfback Donna George suffered a bad leg injury. Graduating sen iors from this year's team are Marie Persic, Betsy Jo Compton , and Carolyn Jenkins. The final log stands at 1-4. Winter Sports Practice for winter sports is slated to begin this week. All men interested in becoming members of the basketball team are asked to report to the gym on Monday at 4 p.m. with equipment.

The caravan, carrying the cheerleaders, majorettes, and kickline, will lead the students to Nesbitt Park, Kingston , where a pep rally will begin at 8 p.m. The rally will be emceed by Ed Pashinski, and will include performances by the cheerleaders, majorettes and kickline. The highlight of the rally will be the lighting of the bonfire and the burning in effigy of the "Ram" of the opposing team, Delaware Valley. Honored guests who will be invited to the rally include Deans Ahlborn and Ralston , Millie Gittins and the Homecoming Queen and her court. Barbara Doorish, working with Norma Falk and Mary Stravelle, the pep rally chairmen, has made the final plans for the dance following the pep rally and bonfire. The -dance, featuring the Starfires, will be held in the gym from 9 to 12 p.m. Another equally significant aspect of Homecoming Weekend is that of the dormitory and club displays. Those who are erecting displays are asked to provide adequate lighting for the evenings. The displays will be judged Friday night, on the basis of originality, neatness, and appeal, as stated by Darlene Moll and Matt Fliss, the overall co-chairmen of homecoming. ticipate in either or both caravans is advised to see Joni Kirschenbaum, chairman of the car caravans. At 2 p.m., the Colonels will challenge the Delaware Valley " Rams " at football. The half-time ceremonies will include the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, the presentation of gifts to the Homecoming Queen and her court, and the awards presented to the best Homecoming displays and th e best-decorated car. The highlight and culmination of this year's Homecoming weekend will be a semi-formal dinner-dance at the High Point Inn, Mount Pocono, on Saturday, November 6. The buffet will be served at 7 p.m. in the colonial dining hall of the Inn. The thirteen piece Scrantonian orchestra, directed by Gene Dempsey, will begin the dancing activities at 9 p.m. and will continue only to 11 p.m. this year because of the distance of the High Point Inn from the campus. Tickets for the dinner-dance, costing $3 per couple, may be obtained from Millie Gittins in the Bookstore next week; the deadline is Friday, November 5, at 5 p.m. Students purchasing the tickets will also receive a map in - the Editors Zoom To San Francisco by Helen Dugan of this outstanding honor.

SG Considers Amendment To Increase Reps John Cavallini, president of Student Government, has announced that if the amendm ent to increase the number of Student Government representatives is approved, an election will be held to select an additional representativ e from each class. This would increase the present number for each class from four to five. "The reasons behind this amendment are twofold," said Cavallini. " First, classes have grown tremendou sly in size since the founding of our constitution, and the present class representation isn't adequate enough . Secondly, the Student Government has increased its duties without increasing its membership. " The amendment to increase the representation must first be approved by the administrative council on November I. If approved, it will go to the Student Council on November 5.

Donald Oenslager, consultant to the firm of Lacy, Atherton , and Davis for the construction of the College's new Center for the Performing Arts , gave the main address at a dinner following the Center's recent dedication . He spoke on the increasing importance of theatre in educational institutions as brought about by the decline of professional theatres of today. The speaker noted that the decline of the professional theatre is due to four things: a lack of new plays from contemporary authors , exorbitant production costs, powerful unions, and tearing down of old theatres. The result of this decline is a trend toward routine , unimaginative, standardized productions. Over the past few years , intellectual theatre has fled to the university and civic stage. Educational theatre has increased greatly in quantity and quality. "The educational theatre building , such as the W ilkes College Center for the Performing Arts , becomes a status symbol of the cultural attainment of the educational institution ." Oenslager said that almost all new university theatres are superior to most professional theatres in relation to physical equipment and comfort. He said, "Many of ( the universities) are building massive structures, which . . . may often prove too large and too complicated for the .. . students to work. I wonder, also, if the elaborate programs do not make educational institutions committed primarily to box office material." He believes that ev ery college and university should be able to indulge in productions in which the students may experiment with their creative ability rather than the production in all departments being primarily the endeav or of the faculty . He praised the dra- matic efforts of the College, "which has always sought to encourage the full participation of students in every phase of theatre productions, not only the acting phase." Oenslager, a New York stage designer and noted lecturer and consultant on theatre and scenic design, was consultant for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D. C. He has designed more than 200 productions for the New York theatre including operas, ballets, musicals, and dramas. As a recipient of the Sacks Fine Arts Traveling Fellowship from Harvard University where he received a degree in fine arts , he traveled abroad to study methods of production and design in the principal theatres of Europe. His studies abroad also include the Far East, the theatre of China, the Kabuki and Noh theatres in Japan, and theatres in lndoChina, Burma, and Indonesia. In 1925, Oenslager was appointed to the school of drama at Yale University. Today he is a professor of scenic design at Yale. Oenslager has been a consultant on the American Pavilion Theatre of the Brussels World's Fair, the Montreal Cultural C e n t e r , the Fort Worth Performing Arts Center , the Philharmonic Hall of the Lincoln Center in New York, and designer of fountains and lighting for the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York. /.ette,- Variety Urged Dear Editor: I am sure that many day students would be willing to pay My stomach goes out to Gas- for a variety in their lunches. tric Revolt.

Dedication (Continued from Page 1) Green attained the Pulitzer prize. H e is also well-known for "The Lost Colony." a play depicting the struggle ,md failure of the little colony on Roanoke Island and the mysterious disappearance of the entire settlement. For almost 30 years, since its presentation in 1937, Green 's "Lost Colony" has been performed in an outdoor theatre continuously during the summer months. Following Green"s address, Al Airola, president of Cue and Curtain , expressed for the entire · student body hi s appreciation of the Center and his hope that all may " . . . use this building to its greatest capacities . . . and be inspired to utilize . . . talents to the limits of potential. " M'ss Annette Evans, on behalf of the trustees of the College, presented to Leigh Allen, interior designer of the Center, a certificate of recognition. The audience rose for the singing o f the College Alma Mater, and Dr. Abraham Barras, rabbi of Temple Israel. keeping in mind the purpose of the afternoon ·s ceremony, ended the program with two psalms for the benediction. The invocation was given by Rev. Dr. Jule Ayers of the Firs t Presbyterian Church. Those seated at th e speaker"s table were Dr. Eugene Farley: Al Groh, theatre director; Paul Green, principal speaker at the afternoon ceremonies: Charles 13.

Three students from the College represented the stud en t body: Al Airola , president of Cue and Curtain; John Cavallini, Student Government presiden t; and Steve Van D yck, president of the Inter-Dormitory Council. Entertainment was provided by the College Madrigal Singers, under the direction of Richard Chapline. Al Groh ex pressed hi s appreciation for Leig h Allen"s "untiring devotion of effo rt and creative talent " toward the interior decor of the C enter in the form of an original poem . The benediction was given by Rev.

Green, a playwright who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1927 for his " Abraham 's Bosom, " is also a former professor of philosophy and member of the department of dramatic arts of the University of North Carolina . H e originated and wrote "The Lost Col ony " pageant at Roanoke Island and has begun several historical pageants in Williamsburg, Virginia, and St. Augustine, Florida. In a personal interview before the dedication, Green stated that as in Roanoke, St. Augustine, and Williamsburg, we now, through the facilities of this thea tre , ha ve the capacity to create a shrine of creativity in student writing, composing, sculpturing, and painting. H e felt that the founding of this theatre was vastly more important than the founding o f any church , for through this C enter a dramatic restatement of our culture and its struggles could be told. Green also sa id that he, as a pagan , felt the religion of the future wou ld be " man 's creative expression through art and beauty. " His Struggles In his address , which was titled " Dramatizing Our American Heritage." Green retold some of the struggles which he encountered in his early days in the theatre. He related how he left Broadway to go to one of the first beachheads of American civ ilization Roanoke Island . where the s trug- gles o f the the founders of Am erica first began. He said this was a place where one could recreate on the stage "the devotion and dreams of these early Americans, the story of struggle. .,.. ,} , PAUL GREEN s truggle that coun ts for something." He em phasized this by quoting from the last line of his play "Th e Lost C olony " about this American dream: "Hear us oh hear . .. the dream still li ves. It lives and shall not die ." Noting the paradox of the early American who lived with both the dreams of a great America and with slavery and discrimination , he stated : "It is easy to make a good thing out of a good thing ; but to make good out of evil is the real challenge." He 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Boston Bibliophile Inquires ex pressed th e idea that Americans respond to characters who are trying to portray something that counts, and that with the technological devices available, we have means of interpretation w hich never before existed. He continued by explaining that " from our ancestors ' little toehold and later advancements came forth not only the conquering of the wildern ess but the sta tement of a democratic form of government. And out o f that, and through the Civil War which man ifested and made this democracy, there was a tremendous splurge of th e machine age." Eac h of these three periods together unfolded our dream . Goal of Creativity Green also explained that creativity was the goal to which the new theatre should asp ire and that "while walking the area the night before . .. noticing the quiet, I thought of the area's tremendous history . .. the W elsh singing, the German chanting their hymns , and the Irish and the Italians." H e also referred to th e great local drama of the twelve miners who lost their lives in a cave-in . Stating that we are sitting on our most dramatic material, our cultural heritage, Green urged that this story be told. He concluded with a verse written for the occasion in re ferenc e to the people of the present and those of history . "This is a creative place. this is a shrine .. . and out of it may come creativity."

It was a long afternoon for the Mules as th e Colonels racked up 443 yards to retain their lead in the M.A.C. Northern College Division ratings. Three Wilkes backs broke into the touchdown parade with Ray Lowery scoring twice and Roger Beatty and Doug Forde hitting paydirt once each. Paul Purta added to the scoring tally w ith two field goals and four successfu_' extra point placements. Doug Forde got the Colonels' grid machine moving by returning the opening kickoff 35 yards to the Colonel 40. Beatty, Purta, and Lowery took turns moving the ball to the Mules' 4-yard stripe from where Lowery crashed over for the touchdown. Purta added the extra point on a placement, giving the Colonels a 7-0 lead. A few plays later, the Colonels again took possession of the pigskin. A second sustained drive seemed doomed to failure on the Mules' 40, as Wilkes had a third and thirty situation. A 22 yard aerial from Roshong to Purta kept the attack alive, and three plays later Beatty scored from the I-yard band. Purta again split the uprights , increasing the lead to 14-0. Midway into the second stanza, big gains by Roshong and Purta, capped with a I yard plunge by Lowery, gave th e Colonels their third score. Purta's successful placement gave Wilkes a 21-0 advantage. In the closing minutes of the first half , Brinley Varchol recovered a Mule fumble on th e Muhlenberg 27 yard stripe. A touchdown drive stalled on the 11 , but Purta came in to split the uprights with a 28 yard field goal. In the third quarter, Varchol again showed hi s heroics by snatching a Mule aerial on the Wilkes 44. A few plays later, Doug Forde capped the drive with a 6 yard jaunt to paydirt. Purta's placement was good again, and the Colonels upped their tally to 31 points. Coach Rollie Schmidt took advantage of th e huge lead to empty his bench in the final quarter. Early in th e fourth quarter, Purta's toe again proved supreme by adding a 38 yard fie ld goal to complete the Colonel scoring . Swimming Team Holds Practice by Chuck Petrillo Candidates for the swimming team who missed the meeting after assembly yesterday, should report to coach Ken Young, physical director at the YMCA . Team practices are usually held every afternoon at the YMCA pool between 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Those swimmers whose schedules conBict with the team practices may work out wheneve r the YMCA pool. is open. The pool is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12 noon In the closing minutes of the final quarter, the Mules scored two quick touchdowns.

The Colonels completed 3 of 9 passes for 48 yards while Muhlenberg was successful on 8 of 14 for 94 yards. The Colonels defense again sparkled, limiting the Mules to only 99 yards. In individual rushing, Rich Roshong had a profitable day gaining 145 yards on 16 carries for a 9.1 average. Roger Beatty also chewed up the real estate, picking up 94 yards on 20 carries. Lowery had 60 yards for 15 carries and Purta. 53 for 19 carries. Tomorrow the Colonels travel to Huntingdon. Pennsylvania, to meet the Indians of Juniata College.

Stevens by Bill Bush The Colonel booters raised their tally to 3-4 by defeating Muhlenberg College. 4-1, in a home match a week ago last Wednesday. In the first period of play, the Colonels were unable to score against the Muhlenberg booters, but the Colonels managed many fine shots at the goal. With ten minutes remaining before the halftime, Rich Beck scored on a play Wilkes scoring : Touchdowns from the left wing. This gave the Colonels a I -0 lead over the Mules.

Muhlenberg 0 0 0 12 - 12 Roshong, Harmon Gain Athlete 01 Week Titles Sharing this week 's Beacon laurels is Rich Roshong , a 5' 9", I 65 pound junior education major. Roshong has been outstanding all year in engineering the Wilkes offense. A "T" formation quarterback, Rosh ong is a scrambler and a constan t running threat while he is on the field. In the last two games he has tallied an eye-catching total of 239 yards in 28 carries for an 8.5 average. Although Wilkes mainly employs a running attack, Roshong has show n he also can pass. On separate occasions this season, he has caught the enemy secondary off-guard with his timely and accurate passes. After stepping in as the varsity quarterback this past season, he has shown great improvement , , in all phases of the game. His ball ff handling is now smoother, and this year he shows more confidence in his running . Last Saturday the Colonels traveled to Hoboken where they downed Stevens Institute, 4-0. It was Wilkes' first win over Steve ns in ten years. Joe Kiefer opened up the offensive attack against Stevens by scoring early in the first period after an assist from Jim Kennedy. John Santo put Wilkes ahead , 2-0, with a goal after an assist from Mike Hudick. Twenty seconds later, Kiefer tallied once again in the second quarter to give the Colonels a 3-0 advantage at the halftime. N either team was able to score in the third quarter , but Kiefer scored again in the fourth to give the Colonels the 4-0 win over Stevens. Stevens was unable to penetrate the Wilkes defensive which was sparked by goalie Rick Harmon. Mike Hudick, at left halfback, also played a fine game in keeping the Stevens offensive from penetrating the Colonels territory. The booters' record now stands at 4-4 . Today the Colonels host Wagner College at 3:30 p.m. a t the Wilkes Athletic Field. Roshong is from Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, and was graduated from Souderton Area Joint High School.

WHAT • WHERE • WHEN CAR CARAVAN - Butler Hall - tonight, 7 p.m. vironment. ( Be advised that I am not advocating license,) Case in point. A number of years ago all cigarette machines were taken off campus. Granted, it is not too difficult to secure a pack at the J.C.C., the post office, the gas station next to Parrish, or the Y,M.C.A. The decision to take cigarette machines was made after the 11overnment-sponsored report linking cigarette smoking to cancer and heart disease. It is not the decision I question; rather it is the right of the administration to make that decision. Rabble-Rouser We are called apathetic, but those of us who fight for what we believe are criticized by the administration. No doubt at this very moment I am being categorized as a "crack pot" or "rabble-rouser." However, thought and idea transcends name-calling and subtle blackballing. by Walt Narcum There has been much criticism of the President's Viet Nam policy lately. 0 d d 1 y enough, in this oddest of all possible wars, the criticism has come from both pacifists and those desiring stronger action in Viet Nam.

The reason they give for this demand is that the South Vietnamese people have a right to choose their own form of government and their own leaders. However, the facts show that people of South Viet Nam will in no way be , able to achieve this goal by a United States withdrawal an~ the subsequent Communist tal{eover that will inevitably take place. In no country where the Communists have assumed control, have the people of that country been able to choose their own government and their own leaders. As evidence. we only have to look to Cuba, Hungary, and all of the captive nations behind the Iron Curtain. There is no reason to suppose that South Viet Nam will enjoy a better fate than these nations. Popular Support The pacifists go on to say that the South Vietnamese do not support the war against the Viet Cong. This statement. also, is not borne out by the facts. The South Vietnamese army has faced the Viet Cong _ for many years and has suffered a high casulty rate in this war, Still, they show no sign of giving up their struggle and surrendering to the Viet Cong, The United States cannot, in all consciousness, do less than the freedom-loving people of South Viet Nam. Stronger Action The criticism of the President's policy has not come exclusively from the pacifists. His policy has also come under attack by those desiring stronger action in the war. For instance, the minority House leader, Gerald Ford, has demanded that we also bomb the -· capital of North Viet Nam, (ConHnued on page 3) �WILKES Friday, November 5, 1965 COLLEGE BEACON "We Don't Use Flying Carpets" Or, Haroun-Al Rashid Reappears by Leona Sokash He also thinks that Am ericans are rather religious. "lraquis are also a religious people, and are also very tolerant. We do not kill Jews . . . Seriously!

"A few things I want to stress," laughingly declared Umid Nejim, new math instructor at the College - "we don't use camels as our major mode of transportation; we also don't use Hying carpets, and we have no harems." Although a former resident of Baghdad , which is in the central part of Iraq ,' Mr. Nejim's people are from the In foreign affairs, he feels that northern part of his country, from the land of the Kurds, a people noted for Americans are taking a greater interest in other cultures.

Now, Iraq has four important universities, the best of which is the University of Baghdad, which has colleges ranging from the sc iences to the fine nrts. In 1959 Mr. Nejim graduated from the University of Baghdad with a r .S. d eg ree in electrical engineering. He later taught in the School of Radar in th e lraqui Air Force. With a combination of grants from the University of Baghdad and the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Mr. Nejim was able to obtain his M.S. degree from Carne11ie Tech. ("I liked Pittsburgh, and I have a number of friends there. The city reminds me of Baghdad: the streets are not straight - ii isn't a classical American town.")

However, he also said, "The UGLY Bamdi Discusses ESP Al Meeting AMERICAN is at last a reality in the Peace Corps." To Mr. N ejim, it seems that Americans are st ill suffering from the complex that our literature, art , and music are inferior to those of Europ e. "Because an opera company is from Europe. this does not mean that it is better. I find the Metropolitan Opera fantastic - better than any other I've seen. Europe has, perhaps, a more historical backround for its art , but this does not imply that its art is better." He notes that Americans have "quite a respect for higher education; though I do think the trend is too much into the sciences. Too many people are entering the field because they are only attracted by the money. But after they leave college, they 'll have to continue their studies. And if they don 't keep up , if they don't have a real interest in their subject they 'll be thrown aside." He sees no real anti-intellectualism in the United States. H e stated, "Well , the American public seems to dislike beatniks. And if they consider beatniks intellectuals, their dislike of such groups may be a sign of anti-intellectualism ." He also feels that the antiautomation attitude among people who are too old to be retrained and who feel that technical progress seems to be taking food away from them may be cons :ru ed as an anti-intellectual attitude. But in general , he fe els that the term intellectual is getting rather blurred when it is applied to bearded lovers of existential philosophy and poetry . He believes that intellectualism s hould apply to logical argument, to logical thinking. During a past winter season, Mr. Nejim and a friend camped on the way down to the Florida Keys. He d isliked the South 's high humidity ( "Most of Iraq has a very dry, hot temperature." ) and most of the Floridian cities because " they were too ccmmercially oriented. " He found the Everglades, where his friend and he spent a night, similar to the marsh regions in the south of Iraq. H e also traveled through the Carolinas, Virginia, Kentucky , and Maryland (" Do you consider Maryland part of the South?") He found people in the South rather sensitive about the subject of integration. But "the scenery is very nice and the food is good and cheap."

He offers this criticism on the grounds that if the United States is attempting to win the war in Viet Nam, it should use every means at its disposal. Such an argument is hard to counter and so far the P resident has not given a plausible answer to these charges. He has stated that the bombing of Hanoi would involve the bombing of a civilian population and would not be justified at this time. This statement is not congruent with our policy to persuade the North Vietnamese to halt their aggression against their neighbors to the south. Perhaps the President has some further knowledge of the situation w hich would support his stand. If so, he should make it available to the public in order to consolidate the nation behind his position on the war in Viet Nam . Test of Criticism The President has tended to hold the view that all the criticism of his policy concerning the war has given the Communists the idea that the United States' resolution to support the war in Viet Nam is weakening. However, just the opposite is true. If in some way the debate on the war in Viet Nam were to be curtailed, this fact would show the Communists that our policy is not strong enough to stand the test of criticism. Constructive criticism by responsible people must be allowed to continue until we have a policy that will ensure the freedom of South Vie_t Nam. �Page 4 WILKES COLLEGE Shinn Scirr Cheries Bonor Dorm Rules by Helen Dugan While walking from South Street to East Northampton along River Street, one takes note of the various buildings owned by the College. As one stands on the corner of South and River Streets, the spacious library towers over his image. As he walks down River Street, Chase Hall comes into view, then Dennison Hall. After Warner, Ashley , Butler, and Barre Halls appear , the next College building to be viewed is the President's house - right? WRONG. seems to be a utopic opportunity (after one learns to accept rejection) . It has the same rules as any other girls ' dormitory. Although each girl has a key to the apartment, there is a s ign-out sheet on which the girls are expected to record their comings and goings. Under such an honor system it would seem that leniency would prevail. but such is not so. The girls respect the rules of curfew and quiet hours and they all comply with them. This compliance is not an odd action when one considers that each girl is one of five instead of one of 40 and This leads to a feeling of not being 'in' with the dorm students. The hardest position to overcome is that of the two freshmen girls. Because this is their first year , they do not have a wide range of friends as yet and such a dorm situation as this is not helpful in acquiring the range of friends that is necessary for a full college life. Another problem, though of lesser importance, is that of not being allowed to vote in I.D.C. because of their size. Although they send representatives on their own, their opinion does not count when a vote is taken. Friendly Birdbath After passing Barre Hall, one sees a friendly birdbath in the yard adjoining the President's house. This birdbath is not present merely to acknowledge the relationship between the College and the S.P .C .A .; it announces the existence of something much more important (if I may, dear S .P.C.A.) that is, people. At 130 South River Street, behind the Rowing birdbath, is the residence of five rejected dorm students. This dorm, in order that it may be a part of them, has been nicknamed Shinn Scirr. (The reason for the name can be learned by a friendly call or visit to said residence). Unnoticed The dorm is really only an apartment, but the five girls who it accommodates are full-fledged dorm students assigned to this building for the next year, although they have been acknowledged as such by very few. They posted their names on the birdbath to let the College know they were a part of it but as students rushed by, the s ign fell among the trampled leaves; and the rejected dormies futilely waited on their living room Aoor hoping for the arrival of someone - anyone. But not even the man who was supposed to deliver their furniture would acknowledge the presence of their new dorm. To put an end to the exclusion of these disclaimed students, the Beacon steps forward to honor them as the Dorm of the Week, which, since this will be its first and only presentation, is a very unique award. Representative Group Enter the 'dormie debs'. Besides being a part of the freshman, senior, and graduate classes, these dorm students represent a large part of the world, starting with Nancy Roney, who hails from Anchorage, Alaska, to Hiroko Ito, who has come to the College from Japan. Susan Respaut comes from Pleasantville, New York, and Noreen Considine and Irene Scheining are local residents. Both Miss Respaut, who is a business education major, and Miss Roney who chose English as her major, are freshman class members. Miss Considine, a psychology major, is a senior, as is Miss Scheining, who serves as the dorm proctor ( the only female proctor on campus). Miss Scheining is a registered medical technologist and has returned to school to pursue her major in history. The last, but certainly not least, of the girls is Miss Ito. She graduated from Hushi College of Pharmacy in Japan, where she is a registered pharmacist, and is doing her graduate work in chemistry. · While with its gigantic fireplace and its artistic birdbath, Shinn Scirr Hall Friday, November 5, 1965 BEACON Junius Society Sponsors Mid-East ConIerences Within the next few weeks, the Junius Society will present several new programs. Although the Society is a relatively new one on Campus, it has concerned itself widely with extra-curricular activities dealing with politics and history. The immediate plans of the club are for discussion and debate of contemporary political issues. The second stage of the Society's teacher-exchange program will be held on November 9 with a presentation by Dr. Alexander, chairman of the history department of King 's College. Dr. Alexander's topic will be "Is Communism the Wave of the Future?" The time set for the program is 7:30 p.m. at a place to be announced. Dr. Harold Cox of the College's history department spoke to a group of King's students as the first phase of the program. His topic was on the Reconstruction Era. · The Society flas also scheduled a program on November 20 with local high school teachers and students concerning diplomacy in C entral Asia. The Junius Society has invited representatives from India, Pakistan , and our state department to participate in the program. India has agreed to send A . S . Chib, her first secretary, and Pakistan is sending M .I. Butt. A state department official will open the conference with a discussion of the central Asia area, its importance to the United States and other world interests, and our own related foreign policy. This will be followed by seminars conducted by local and College speakers who will review several aspects of the Asian problem. Following campus tours and lunch, attendants of the conference will have the opportunity to hear the views of the Pakistani and Indian officials on their present strife. This will be followed by a reception.

New York C~ �WILKES Page 6 COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 5, 1965 COLONELS AXE INDIANS by George Pawlush The Wilkes Colonels again retained th eir M.A.C. northern division lead by downing a stubborn Juniata Indian tribe, 30-20, before a large Parents' Day crowd at Huntingdon, Pa. The Colonels, now carrying a 5-1 record, scored four touchdowns, a field goal , a safety , and an extra point in beating Juniata for the first time. The teams have met on the gridiron six times. Wilkes, in recording its fifth win of the season, avenged last year's hum iliating 51-0 scalping at the hands of the Indians. The rugged Colonel de- fense again proved supreme, throttling the Juniata offensive attack and limiting them to a minus 43 yards rushing. In a game marred by fumbles and blocked punts, the Colonels took advantage of the breaks and overcame an early deficit to cop the victory. The Colonels received the opening kickoff but failed to mount a substantial ground attack and were forced to punt. An aggressive Indian defens e blocked the punt. An alert Juniata lineman pounced on the ball in the Colonel end zone and went over for the quick touchdown , putting Wilkes behind 7-0. The Colonel grid machine then went into high gear with John Gardner, Rich Roshong , and Ray Lowery gobbling up most of th e turf. The attack seemed stalled on the Juniata 31. but a 22 yard pass from Roshong to Joe Skvarla put the Colonels in a good position on the 9-yard band. One play later Gardner sca mpered through the Indian line for the Colonels' first score. Purta's placement was on its mark, tying the score at 7-7. Later in the first quarter Al Yatko recovered a Indian fumble deep in Juniata territory. Minutes later the Colonel ground attack again went into Va:r chol, Layden, Kane Win Pra.i se lor Delense Ellorls by George Pawlush Last week the Colonels' defense again shone in forcing the Juniata Indians to a minus 43 yards gained rushing. This noteworthy display on the part of the defensive team makes it difficult for the Beacon to select only one outstanding football player of the week. In this issue we, therefore, would like to applaud the efforts of Brinley Varchol. Bill Layden, and P . J. Kane. Varchol has been impressive all year at hi s corner linebacker slot. Mainly covering the short pass zone, he has two interceptions to his credit this year. Against Juniata, Varchol recovered a fumble in the second quarter, se tting up the Colonels for their third score. Later in the fourth quarter he provided the game-clincher by picking off an Indian aerial and romping 48 yards for the touchdown. Varchol. a sophomore math major, is a 6 foot, 195-pound localite. At Wilkes he lettered in football in his freshman year, and while a student at Hanover High School he lettered in football and wrestling. Layd en, at 6 foot , 2 inches, and 225 pounds, is one of the biggest players on the Colonel squad. A freshman business administration major, he has been eq ually outstanding in the grid war. On most Saturday afternoons Layden can be seen charging out of his action with Lowery providing most of the bullwork. Roger Beatty capped the drive by cracking in from the !yard band, giving the Colonels a 13-7 lead. Midway into the second quarter Brinley Varchol recovered a fumble on the Indian 15. Six plays later Rosh ong scampered in for the Colonels' third tally. A two point conversion attempt failed, but the lead increased by twelve points. Seconds later P . J. Kane also got into the act by thieving an Indian aerial, but a Wilkes scoring drive fizzled. Taking possession deep in their own territory , Juniata failed to move the ball and was forced to punt. Al Yatko blocked the punt, resulting in a safety. The scoreboard now read 21-7. Purta completed the first half scoring by splitting · the uprights from the 20, giving him field goal number three for the season. The Colonels went into the locker room holding a 24-7 command. · The third quarter was played to a standstill with neither team able to crack the other's goal line. Early in the fourth quarter Juniata exploded Going into last weekend's clash with Juniata, Wilkes ranked number two nationally among small colleges in rushing offense with a total of 1.533 ya rds gained on 332 rushes for an average of 306.6 yards per game. In addition, the Colonels are ranked tenth in total offense nationally, with an average of 386.4 yards gained per game on 380 plays; total yardage gained amounts to 1,932 . On total defense, Wilkes ranks thirteenth in the nation, having allowed only 689 yards to opponents for an average of 137.8 yards per game. The average is computed on 269 plays.

Colonels lo Bost Delaware Aggies For Homecoming by Frank Rodella Tomorrow at 2 p.m. the Colonels host the Delawar'e . Valley Aggies in a Homecoming contest at the Wilkes Athletic Field. The Colonels will be out to display their championship form for the returning alumni and reverse last year's 21-13 defeat at th hands of th e Rams. Al so, the formal dedication of the new athletic field will take place tomorrow. The 1964 meeting of Wilkes and Delaware Valley saw th e Rams, who are coached by H. W. Craver, a Wyoming Valley native, pull out their first victory in the series after three consecu tive losses. In the '64 edition of the series, the Rams also enjoyed their greatest rushing game ever with 256 yards. Two Rams' stars back from last year are quarterback Gary Ulrich and halfback Joe Franchella, a native of Plains. Franchella was the Rams ' outstanding player in last year's meeting with 167 total yards and 74 yards on one touchdown carry. Along with these two school records, Franchella also intercepted a Colonel pass. The success that the Colonels have in containing Franchella could be one of the key factors in this year's contest. The Ram s, who have 16 returning lettermen, tallied a log of 3 and 5 last season. The Colonels are favored to win their fourth game in a five game series with the Aggies of Delaware Valley.

" Jim Bourne, editor of the King 's College Crown and one of the coordinators of the march-, stated that the main purpose of the demonstration is " to show th e public how college students in this area are in favor of administration activities in Viet Nam. " Students from the College intending to participate in the march will meet at th e Commons on November 18 at 3 p.m. Afterwards, th ey will march up North Main Street toward Public Square, where they will be joined by members of the other four colleges at 3:45 p.m. Mayor Frank Slattery will speak, and plans are being made to ha ve represe ntative Flood also address th e demonstrators. BEAT ALBRIGHT �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE Friday, November 12, 1965 BEACON l.ette,-J t, tAe (dit,,- A Burning Question That the citizens of the United States have taken full ad, vantage of their right of free speech cannot be denied. In recent months we have witnessed the outbreak of demonstrations whose participants have upheld causes which range from the support of civil rights and free speech to the denunciation of United States participation in the Vietnamese war. Those who desire the cessation of demonstrations are stand, ing on shaky legal grounds. To deny these people the right to express their opinion would be to violate their Constitutional rights. It is our contention that demonstrations have definite hen, eficial aspects. Legal demonstrations provide an outlet for pent, up anxiety and hate which otherwise might manifest themselves in violence and lawlessness. Then too, public demonstrations are advantageous if those who support them sincerely believe in their particular cause. It is rare that a person has definite opin, ions about anything, and for one to take specific action in support of an idea is more honorable. However, we must object to those people who demonstrate just to demonstrate, who join a demonstration because it is "the thing to do" in order to be part of the "in" crowd. Those who join a demonstration because it is the latest fad are equally as guilty as people who exploit these situations for political ad, vantage and free publicity. Thus, while we support demonstrations, we must make qualifications. For it is not, we feel, important that one demon, strates but why one demonstrates. WHAT • WHERE • WHEN Asserting Opinions Results In Effective Safety Valve Dear Editor: Ours is an age when free, dam of opinion has taken on the characteristics of a vogue rather than an inalienable right. As a result, students across the country have found themselves to be treading on dangerous ground by overasserting themselves and their opinions. Indeed, there must be numerous student bodies who dare not attempt to set forth their opinions because they fear stern actions from their respective administrators. The students of this institution, however, are indeed fortunate in having the environment for growth as established for them by their administration. By keeping this editorial space open for students to voice their opinions, no matter what those opinions may be, the Beacon and the administration are setting examples of the very basis upon which our heritage has been founded. The College's students have an outlet, Card Savers Dear Editor: The college-aged students of the United States have been badly criticized in r e c e n t months for their attitude toward the Viet Nam issue. This criticism has resulted from the unfortunate wide-spread publicity given to the small, noisy minority of students who have been opposing the American defense of Viet Nam. Consequently, a number of students have come together to form the new bi-partisan Na, tiomtl Student Committee for the Defense of Viet Nam. Our sole purpose is to mobilize colleqe students in a concerted effort of responsible action in support of American resistance to Communist aggression in Southeast Asia. We welcome your cooper a, tion and assistance in this bipartisan , national program to show the American people that the new student radicals do not speak for our generation in their irresponsible opposition to our country's policy in Viet Nam. If you have any questions as to any phase of our committee, please feel free to write us at the address given below. Yours truly, Nat'!. Student Commitee for the Defense of Viet Nam P.O.

The letters which h a v e appeared in past issues of the Beacon are not always indicative of the views of the entire student body, but their effect is. The students realize that such an outlet prevents the growth of serious problems by throwing them into the open before they brew and ferment into ugliness, before "their wrath does grow." Students who have not yet used the medium of the Beacon are reassured by its availability. Those who are responsible must surely be acting in accordance with the French philosopher-writer Voltaire, who in essence wrote: I do not agree withwhatyousay,butldeknd to the death your right to say it.

Joy Cees Sell Student Guide David Keith Hardy, U .S. foreign news correspondent and analyst, recently addressed the assembly concerning the situation in Viet Nam and its effect upon the surrounding countries. Hardy drew upon the experience of his four months' trip through Southeast Asia, Japan, Hong Kong , Nepal. and India to give the students his ideas on the Viet Nam problem. Dr. Alexander, chairman of the King's College history and government department, lectured Tuesday before members of the Junius Society. The lecture was given as one part of the exchange program between the history societies of the two colleges. Previously, Dr. Harold Cox of the College history department has spoken to the Herodotus Society at King 's.

The crowd was the larg est turnout to see a College game here in years. While Wilkes was busy last week dumping a non-conference foe for their sixth win this fall, all but one other northern college division foe were eliminated as title challengers. The one remaining contestant was reduced to hoping for a first place tie at best, as Upsala was edged, 7-6, by Moravian.

DEAN HONORED Rolston Field Dedicated Wilkes dedicated its new football field with appropriate half-time ceremonies at last Saturday's Homecoming Day game with Delaware Valley. The new field was named Ralston Field in honor of the C ollege's Dean of Men, who served as pioneer coach in most sports at Wilkes following World War II. Realston is shown at left expressing his appreciation, calling the honor "the most memorable experience of my life - and I've had many of them here." Ralston also mentioned the Wilkes scoreboard which is a memorial to Lt. N eil C . Dadurka , USMC, who lost his life in a plane accident. Dadurka was captain of the 1956 Wilkes team. The scoreboard is a gift of the class of 1960_ The dedication ceremonies also included members of Ralston 's famed Seven Blocks of Anthracite - as his 194 7 line was dubbed - who presented him with the official commemorative sign which will be permanently placed at the field. AI Molash, an end on the 1947 team , is at right. Wilkes entered the game second in the nation in rushing with a 306.6 average per game. They were sligh tly off that mark yesterday with an aggregate rushing yardage of 279. Th e Colonels were thirteenth in the nation in total defense going into the game with a 137.8 yards per game average. A missed field goal and a rash of penalties kept the Colonels scoreless until late in the first period.

The victory marked the fourth win in succession for Coach Jim F erris' boaters. After Hofstra the Colonels were 6-4 overall and 4-4 in the M .A.C . The Wilkes offense proved too powerful to contain in managing to slip five goals past the Hofstra defense. Joe Kiefer booted the initial goal for the Colonels on a penalty shot late in the first period of play Hofstra bounced back in the second ·period to tie the score at 1-1 . With two minutes to go in the half, Wilkes was able to take the lead again with a shot by Russ Jenkins, giving the Colonels a 2-1 lead at halftime.

The committee will also attempt to study the practical effects of a completely representative committee which would explore problems which may develop as the College increases its size.

(See ,torv on page 6) * * * * SG Endorses Stotement On Moss Demonstrotions by Vicki Tatz Elections are being held today in the cafeteria lounge from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Th e freshman class is selecting its officers and Student Government representatives, and the other three classes one Student Government representative each. The latter is due to the passing of the amendment to the constitution providing for fiv e memhers instead of four from each class. This amendment was passe d two wee ks ago , 110 to 10. Student Government has decided to endorse a policy formulated by th e administra tion regarding student demonstrations. This policy suggests that mass demonstrations may not serve useful purposes, though they are "justified when individuals and groups are denied justice and support of our laws, but in many instances they merely arouse the emotions wi thout increasing intelligent dedication to the best interests of our country . . . In consequence. we do not deem it w ise to encourage group demonstrations as a means of expressing the loyalty that is our inherent duty. " Students who participate in demonstrations do so as individuals, not as representatives of th e College. This policy statement points out that the College has already had a blood drive , " from a sense of responsibility to our neighbors as well as to our servicemen," and that petitions are sensa tional but not really useful. However, the administration does encourage students to express them selves throug h such accepted channels as letters to Congressmen and free discussion. A press statement made by the admin istration las t month stated, "We recognize that in our pluralistic society a variety of ideas must be considered. We believe that through a thoughtful consideration o f many ideas and ideologies our students will be enabled to decide what is constructive and what is irrational." Furthermore, "The College has faith in its s tudents and in th ei r willingness to assume responsibility for their actions. W e will cooperate w ith them in any rational inquiry that can lead to better understanding. We will continue to maintain a free exchange of ideas with them. If this free communication of ideas is maintained we believe that irrational mob action is unlikely." The United Fund drive raised $730.58, according to Joe Brillinger, chairman. Th e All-College T h a n k s g i v i n g D ance is being planned for November 26. Hermon George is chairman of this event. The policy was passed by Student Governm ent stating that the list for Homecom ing queen and Cinderella shou ld be accepted as valid from the administration unless a three-fourths' vote of ~;tudent Government contests it. POLICY UBGES TH,O UGBT BEl'OBE SEN,S ATIONALISM The following statement is the official C ollege policy on demonstrations, formulated by th e administration and endorsed by Student Government: "We are very much concerned that our students assume all the responsibiliti es of loyal American citizens. We believe that it is our obligation to work for a stable, just, and representative government. But we simultaneously believe that in our democratic country it is essential that each individual give independent thought as to his public responsibilities. "Wilkes College has long supported the campaign for blood and wi thin the past week approximately two hundred students contributed to the Red Cross Blood Bank. This was done without fanfare but resulted from a sense of (Continued on page 4) responsibility to our neighbors as well as to our servicemen. In the future as in the past I am sure that our faculty and our students will contribute blood w hen it is requested by the Red Cross. "As you know , Wilkes College has already made a statement to the newspapers rega rding demonstrations. In this statement we indicated that thoughtful responsibility was encouraged and ex pected of our students. We are, however, not convinced that mass demonstrations serve a useful purpose. They may be justified when individuals and groups are denied justice and support of our laws, but in many instances they merely arouse the emo tions without increasing in telligent dedication to the best in terests of our country. Although we are ready to support our government and our servicemen we feel that this is to be done by a quiet and effective devotion to duty. In consequence, we do not deem it wise to encourage group demonstrations as a means of expressing th e loyalty that is our in herent duty. "The proposal that our students sign a half-mile petition is sensational but we do not believe that it rea lly contributes to that steadiness of purpose and devo tion to duty which is th e basic ingred ie nt of loyalty . "There are accepted means whereby a free people can express their concern. We urge our students to act within these accepted channels. Th ese include letters to our elected representatives, free discussion, and carefully considered programs of action. W e hope that a ll of these means will be used to ma intain and strengthen our free institutions." �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 19, 1965 /.ette,-J tc tl,e (dit,,.

This extra contact of which I speak is found in outside books. Not history books from a well-sifted list, but novels such as Forever Amber.

But by being allowed to do more literary reading, as long as it shows some relationship to his work. the student is more likely to do the reading since he will be reading more of what he wants to read .

I think a demonstration in this area would show our patriotism and intelligent insight into this problem, Indian Student Gives View On A,,,erican Lile by Nancy Leland This is the second trip to America for Abdul Poonawala, one of the College 's Indian foreign exchange students. Abdul graduated from Clark Summit High School in 1963 after spending his senior year there as a Rotary exchange student. His home is in Bombay . Abdul, unlike most of his native country's population, is Moslem. But since India is a democratic republic, Moslems have no fear of being Moslems in a non-Islamic nation. When religious conflict made a division necessary , India, mainly Hindu, became a Hindu nation , while Pakistan, primarily Moslem, became a Moslem nation. Kashmi r, however, a small unit unfortunately located between India and Pakistan , was populated greatly by Moslems, but had a Hindu leader who joined India religiously; combined, Kashmir and India form the Indian Union. Abdul thinks that the war will last because both countries are stubborn, and that it may become a religious war because of its original religious split. The main result of such a war would be a drain on the economies of both countries. It would also create a condition which the Red Chinese would be quick to take advantage of by attacking from the Himalayas. Thus Abdul feel s that instead of joining either India or Pakistan, Kashmir should become a separate independent s tate and prevent this condition . Abdul has many opinions about America. He considers the younger generation of th e country most important because "from them will come its future citizens and leaders." But they , the country 's potential. take little interest in political and civil affairs; few of them hardly take th e time to read a paper concerning matters of their own money and their own country. H e further stated that although Americans would like to be religious ( primarily the younger generation again} , th ey aren't. "Th ey want to be thankful to God for all that they've got, so they take a few hours out of each wee k to hear His words in church. For them religion is like a subject: they go because they sort of have to , but those thousands of years of traditions and precepts are for priests and bishops, not for twentieth century Americans." Indians are more generous than Americans, according to Abdul. He said that an Amer ican with $2 would be less willing to give it to a person who needs it than an Indian would. Indians are in favor of the old-fashion ed attitude of pursuit of brotherhood and moral good , wh ereas Americans are in pursuit of money. Indians are s tarving, whil e Americans prosper. Thus Abdul feel s that his fellow Indians should perhaps abandon their attitudes for those involving more modern economic goals. Y et. he points out, Americans, with the greatest amount of food in the entire world , have " . . . sufficient di ets to keep them from eating it." H e also general ized the outlook for economic prosperity in the United States: "What can ever be wrong with th e economy of a country whose most vexing problem is to find a place to park a car?" Abdul was amazed at Americans ' fid elity in th e matter of romantic relationships. " It is quite different from th e sex game depicted in Hollywood." He feels that he could never be as faithful to one girl as are some Americans he has observed . Some of his fri ends call him "a little playboy Indian. " Abdul summed up hi s feelings about America: "I love the places and fri endly people. I feel very much at home. Americans treat foreigners well." York Times signed by over 500 college professors who said in essence that "the United States owes more to humanity than to invade a country where they have no right to be." My country means more to me than big business enterprise. Claire Sheridan: What day are the marchers going to enlis t? Clark Bromfield: If demonstrating accomplishes nothing else, it at least provides a peace ful , non-violent re lease for personal emotion and opinion. P ersonally, I strongly believe in demonstrations, and I think that a majority of the students involved in demons trations for any cause are serious-minded young people. John Butnor: D emonstrations are useless. Those who are in power have mad e up th eir minds on the issues and usually ignore th e demonstrating min ority. Judy Simonson: D emonstrations on Vi et Nam are very childish and useless. Th ey do not allow th e individual to express his ideas. A much more effective wa y resulting in some action is to write to th e local politicians and to hold debates on this topic. D emonstration s based on on e's rights un der the law, however, may be useful. Rich Hermann: A demonstration on Viet Nam can accomplish very little in this a rea or any other. Usually those people who initiate demonstrations are seeking personal gains, often publicity for th emselves. Most people who join these demonstrations are in th em onl y for amusem ent , not for any se riou s purpose. Those who do have a se rious purpose are overshadowed by the amusem ent seekers, a nd th erefore do not succeed . George Pawlush: D emonstrations are acceptabl e, only if th e parties involved really have a cause to fight for. Too many tim es demonstrators get in volved only for th e action a nd noise, having no firm beliefs in what they are supposedly striving for. In a democracy, causeworthy demonstrations are necessary to prese rve the bas ic freedom s g iven to us by our for efather s. John Rigas: I feel that it is every American's duty to support our stand in Viet Nam. Every individual who makes it his business to back up the President is automatically casting his vote against the oppression of communism. If a demonstration will show this support, then I am for it. Lynne Mallory: Such a mass demonstration would probably accomplish as much for this area as any demonstration has accomplish ed anywhere else. Exactly what is "accomplished " is nothing but an expression of group participation. Often, the principle behind such demonstrations in which I ha ve participated has been forgott en by a great many of the demonstrators as they are caught up in th e joy o f just "demonstrating ." My motives for attending such a mee ting would be to have my opinions heard and my patriotism demons trated. I would definitely re frain from attending a meeting against the President's policy because I agree with his policy Angelo Speziale: Th ere is very little and I don 't want to be classified as practical valu e in a demonstration.

Analysis Demanded Since cutting down on facts or homework merely to leave the student more free time, in hope that he uses it for reading, would be promptly rejected by most instructors, the next best thing , allowing time for readins:i b11t demanding analysis and relationships, should be put into effect. By this method, students would be given time for reading and that reading would be a help in their studies. Although the fault of a mechanized education seems to have been placed totally with the school. this idea can not be left uncorrected . The fault lies with the monetary minds of the present. People are trained to grasp and run. They do not reJect what colleges are changing into because it is the interest of the people that is changing the colleges. Thought Courses But before this situation turns to utter chaos, someone must make the move back to intellect for intellect's sake, and the only place where this can truly start is in schools through courses of thous:iht and practical courses which are supplemented by reading .

Let us turn now to the second categorymental inferiority. A lot of people think they are dumber than other people. This is not so. It must be remembered that there are different kinds of intelligence. Take, for instance, the classic case of the Sigafoos brothers, Claude and Sturbridge, students at a prominent Western university (Dartmouth). It was always assumed that Claude was the more intelligent just because he knew more than Sturbridge about the arts, the sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, and like that. Sturbridge, on the other hand, was ten times smarter than Claude when it came to tying granny knots. But no matter; everybody looked down on "Stupid Sturbridge," as they called him, and looked up ~o "Clever Claude," as they called him. But who do you thmk turned out to be the smart one when their granny almost got loose and ran away? You guessed it-good old Stupid Sturbridge. We arrive now at the final category, financial inferiority. One way to deal with this condition is to increase your income. You can, for example, become a fence. Or you can pose for a life class, if your college is well heated. But a better way to handle financial inferiority is to accept it philosophically. Look on the bright side of poverty. True others mav have more money than you have, but look ~tall the things you have that they don't-debts, for instance, and hunger cramps. Always remember, dear friends, that poverty is no disgrace.

For the past two years, Barre Hall was the Dorm League champion. In the Western Dormitory League a three way tie for first place exists between the Y .M.C .A ., the Sterling Hotel , and Gore Hall. Each of the three teams has three victories. Y e s t e r d a y Gore played the Y.M.C .A . with the winner of this game meeting the Sterling on Monday to decide the Wes tern Dorm League champs. The winner of Monday's game will later meet Barre to decide the Dorm League champion. The standings of the independent teams is as yet undecided. Independent League team captains are asked to contact Forres t "Ike" Eichmann at Miner Hall , 823-9338, to double check and clear up team results and statistics. This past week, one game remained in both the Dorm and Independent Leagues. Neither game, however, had any effect on the final team standings.

In addition to returning lettermen, there is a large group of talented freshmen. Among the lettermen are the four leading memhers of last year's team - Joe Chanecka and Dale Nicholson, co-captains, Mike Sharok, and Jim Smith. Joe Stankus and Jim Vidunas, both of whom played two years ago, have returned to the squad. Don Ridzon. Dick McKay , and Bob Litts will be valuable additions when they become eligible. Some outstanding fr eshmen are Rueben Daniels, Bill Ryan, Bob Phillips, Joe Koterba , and Dave Peterfriend . Compared to most of its opponents, Wilkes is not a tall team although it is taller than last year. However, they make up for their lack of height with speed and desire, two important elements that th e Colonels need to develop into an outstanding team. Mr. Rainey did not wish to comment anymore than to say that he noticed the good attitude and th e hard work and that, if this continues, Wilkes may pull a few surprises. The cagers first contest is a home match against Ithaca on December 3rd. The 1965-66 swimming team is expected to better last year 's 2-7 record.

Th e grapplers of Coach Reese, who attained a 9-1 log last year, will be out to run up a perfect tally this year. The grapplers have the personnel to do so. Mr. Reese has probably the best returning nucleus ever. Leading the squad will be Captain John Carr. Carr is defending M.A.C. champion and an N.C.A .A. college champion at 167 pounds. In addition there are five other returning lettermen - Joe Kiefer, Vic Altonen, Dick Cook, Fran Olexy, and Dave Hall who was defeated only once last year by default. Returning after a year's lay-off are Tohn Gardner, Bob Weston, and Joe Settineri. Settineri was an M.A.C. champion in his freshman year. This year Coach Reese was greeted by the largest turnout ever and by the best group of freshman . In Jim McCorm ick, Joe Wiendl, and Francis Michael he has three '65 state champions. Other promising freshmen are Al Arnold, D ennis Spense, Jim Coifmon. Ed Witczak, Gaylord Cruse, and many others. Mr. Reese, like all coaches, never likes to be optimistic, but he says that the group is really working hard and, barring injuries, the outlook is brighter than ever. Th e varsity team will participate in exhibition matches on November 23rd at Princeton and on December 4th and 5th at West Point.

E MAC CROWN We certainly want to heap our praises upon Coach Rollie Schmidt and his gridders for their outstanding performance this past season, The acclaim that they have been receiving of late has been doubly and triply deserved when one considers that last season the Colonels were the bottom rung on their M.A.C. division ladder. That they have moved up to the top of the mountain in one se,ason is indeed indicative of the calibre of this year's squad. The Colonels success can be attnbuted to many reasons - the experience that the members of the team have gained after one or two years of play; increased effort, determination, and spirit on the part of the team; more experienced players who are drawn to the College by increased assistance to athletes; the excellent quality of the coaching staff; and more expression of spirit and support on the part of the student body. Whatever the reason, the results are all too evident. As Art Hoover has pointed out, many schools, expecting Wilkes to be an easy touch, had scheduled the Colonels for a Homecoming or Parent5' Day game this past season . There have been plenty of disappointed alumni and parents at all of the schools which have used this sort of planning. In the future these same colleges will have to think twice before resorting to this practice again. Since his team is composed mainly of underclassmen, especially freshmen and sophomores, Coach Schmidt will undoubtedly be looking forward to a repeat performance of this year's success next season. After closing their slate with a 6-6 log as compared to last season's 1-8-3 tally, the Colonels' boaters have also witnessed a much improved season. The boaters' success is, no doubt, attributable to many of the same reasons that fostered the grid success. Although, we could probably say that the boaters were somewhat psychologically hampered by the perennial student apathy toward soccer. Perhaps with more student support, the boaters' tally might have weighed more heavily on the win side. Nevertheless, this has been a season of firsts for the soccermen. With thirty-six points scored this season, the boaters have set a new school scoring record for a single season, shattering the old record of twenty-six which was set by the 1958 squad. Also, this year marked the first time in the past ten years that the boaters have defeated Stevens Institute of Technology. It is our hope that the boaters, who will have a large nucleus of their team returning next season, will witness an even greater improvement in their game. ~ ._ ,. by George Pawlush The Wilkes Colonels returned triumphant last Saturday night after copping their first M.A.C. title crown in the College's history. The Colonels ended a very successful season by clobbering the Roaring Lions of Albright College, 37-7, before a large aggregation of Colonel fans at Reading. ..1/i' · I ·' .

In its early stages the game appeared to be a tough battle for both sides. Albright and Wilkes fought to even terms in the first half, but the Colonels' grid machine, scoring 23 points in the second half, turned on the power in the second half to completely devastate the Lion's defense. The Colonels had trouble moving the ball through the early part of the first quarter. The big break came in the closing stages of the first stanza when the Lions were penalized fifteen yards on a face mask pulling infraction. This brought the ball to the Albright 34-yard line. In six plays Rich Roshong and John Gardner moved the pigskin to the 7-yard band. On a third and five situation Roshong took to the airways and found Mike Connolly alone in the end zone, giving the Wilkes squad their flrst score of the game. Paul Purta split the uprights to give the Colonels a 7-0 lead. The Lions, unable to penetrate the line, took to the airlanes and minutes later deadlocked the score.

Bendershol Earns Beacon's Acclai1n by George Pawlush This week the Beacon has selected Ralph Hendershot to receive player of the week honors. Hendershot is a 5 ' 11 ', 215 pound center hailing from York, Pennsylvania. This season the offensive line has often been overlooked while the defense and offensive backfield gobbled up all the publicity. All year, the offensive line has opened up huge gaps in the enemy defense, allowing the ground machine to have been as effective as it was. As an alumnus of Wilkes College I feel compelled to take this opportunity to express my congratulations to Coach Schmidt, his assistants, and the 1965 Wilkes College football team on their fine success this season. While there have been lean years on the gridiron, it is a reality that the spirit of the administration, the coaches, the players, and the student body has not failed. That spirit has certainly been rewarded this year. The Colonels led in first downs, 14-8. The Lions completed 6 out of 21 aerials for 82 yards while the Colonels collected 7 yards on 2 passes. Purta took up the slack caused by the Although not always able to attend absence of hard-running Ray Lowery and bulled out 68 yards on 15 carries the games in person, I have followed the activities of all Wilkes teams in for a 4 .6 average per carry, the press and this football season has Wilkes 7 7 14 9 - 37 made the reading most pleasurable.

Again I say congratulations for a job well done. Sincerely, Bernard J. Kosch Class '61 Cridders Shower Schmidt, Aides After copping the M .A.C. northern division crown last Saturday afternoon , the jubilant Colonels tossed Coach Rollie Schmidt and his assistants - John Rowlands, Jonah Goobic, and Chuck Adonizio - into the showers as a part of the victory celebration. They even tossed Art Hoover and Dr. Anthony Turchetti, team physician, into the drink. Coach Schmidt commented, "It's just starting to settle in. We spent the first hour after the game getting everybody out of the shower. I'll say one thing - we 've got the cleanest crew around." The players carried Coach Schmidt on their shoulders from the field to the lockerroom while the Wilkes band played and the large aggregation of Colonel fans cheered. Last season Albright defeated the Colonels by a score of 48-14. Referee Tom Sullivan said, "This was one of the cleanest games I've worked all year. Both teams were real gentlemen." Schmidt further commented, 'Tm proud of these kids. They were a little tight in the first half, but Dan Malloy's interception and runback got us going. We played our best ball game of the year in the second half. The kids could smell it. The conference championship was only thirty minutes away." Albright coach John Potsklan was all praise for the Colonels. "They really deserve to win the title. They were by far the best hitting team we've played all year," he said. Schmidt was asked if he felt confident that the Colonels would take Albright. "Yes, I felt we would do it all week long. Usually I'm pessimistic. I look for the worst and hope for the best. But this time it was different. We all approached the game with a positive attitude." A Reading sports writer, who covered all of the Albright games this season, was running out of superlatives to describe the Colonels. "Where did they get that bunch of animals? They came to play . We didn 't see a better team all year and Albright has played the likes of Lycoming and Gettysburg." Hoover, as enthusiastic as any of the students, said the Colonels have ruined many homecoming and parents' day attractions this year, including Albright's Parents' Day. "Time was when opponents used to pencil us in whenever they were looking for a soft touch for a Homecoming or Parents' Day game. I think there are going to be some second thoughts on the matter."

Student Government was hesitant to rehold the elections in the junior class because this would not coincide with their policy of the "efficient operation" of the College. The fallacies in the above reasoning are as follows: I. Webster's defines the word approximately as that which is "nearly exact." Student Government, in holding that "approximately 58 " could have been 70, is rewriting the dictionary to make "nearly exact" cover a difference in figures which amounts to an increase of 20.6 per cent. If we accept Webster's definition, "approximately 58" w o u I cl mean possibly 56 to 60, a mere 3.4 per cent difference. 2. The acceptance or rejection of the nominations to an election is of no concern to the nominees themselves. It is the duty of the class parliamentarian to determine the legality of the nominations. 3. It is the duty of Student Government to uphold the constitutions of the individual classes wherever these do not conflict with its own constitution. In this instance, since there is no conflict between the constitution of Student Government and that of the junior class, a re-election in the junior class would only i n t e r r u p t "efficient operation" of the College! This would also uphold the Constitution of the Class of 1967. Parliamentarian-Class of 1967 Richard Lawrence Kramer Owed Respect Dear Editor: I was considerably disturbed by some of the opinions expressed in the survey on demonstrations. Several students stated that those who participate in demonstrations are irresponsible "excitement and publicity seekers" and that they are " radicals and rioters." It seems obvious that those who made such charges have not engaged in serious talk with anyone who has participated in a demonstration against American foreign policy in Vietnam. These people do not go to Washington, for example, just for a lark. They are dedicated to a cause and deeply sincere in their concern. There have been interviews in the newspapers with some of the leaders of the movement that prove this. They are probably more aware of what is going on in Vietnam and the issues involved than the majority of Americans, who are content to sit back and accept what the press reports without questioning. Perhaps the students who expressed such derogatory opinions last week disagreed with their position, but they should at least recognize that the demonstrations against American policy in Vietnam are following their consciences and are to be respected for this.

That thousands of sophisticated film-goers in New York City, where the film gained overwhelming success, should be taken in by this disarmingly naive film is unfortunate, but that Time should fall prey to such trivia as David and Lisa was inexcusable. However, it seems that the phony reputation the film still has with audiences has not yet expired, as recently evid~nced on the Wilkes campus. Two weeks ago David and Lisa was presented to an over8owing audience, the largest turnout this writer has ever seen in five years at Manuscript films. And once again the audience, supposedly intelligent and critical, was fooled by this pretentious, pseudo-arty hoax. Plot Briefly, the plot deals with two young patients in a special school for mentally disturbed adolescents. David, played by Keir Dullea with one baffled expression throughout , suffers from a recurrent nightmare in which he tries to cut off the heads of those who try to help him with the large hand of a clock, and from the fear of being touched; Lisa, played quite well by Janet Margolin, is schizophrenic and either talks in childish rhymes (as Lisa) or becomes mute ( as Muriel) . The two meet and are attracted to one another. What is quite inappropriate - and even less credible - and what finally excludes any degree of genuinely significant development, is the certain knowledge that David's clock hand will stop short of Lisa's head. After that, it is only a matter of time until Lisa speaks normally, and David, reciprocating, takes her hand. Fraudulent Film So why is this film a hoax ? Because we are led to believe that all either of them needed was a little kindly understanding from the right partner. At least that's all the film says, and in the first few minutes, too, when David and Lisa meet in the hall of the school. And it keeps on repeating it in every scene after that, including the final one, with the subtlety of a jackhammer. The script merely skims the surface, evincing little or no understanding of the complicated nature of the subject it's treating. I suppose we are expected to sit back and marvel at how simply and straightforwardly the story is presented. But when or where has it ever been commendable to praise inadequacy, the second-rate, the immature, simply because it is not too complex for everyone to understand? David and Lisa is made precious because it is simple, but the films of Fellini, Bergman, and Godard are great because they do more - con- I I I Ill llll II II II I IIIII I Ill II II Ill Ill llllll Ill Ill II I II I II Ill II Ill II I I I Ill 11111111111111111111111111 Boston Bibliophile Inquires Page 3 BEACON Librarian ,S tudies Nature ol Language by Leona Sokash siderably more - than scratch the QUESTION: Will you tell me surface of their particular themes.

The Wilkesmen, however, have made an impressive showing in recent scrimmages. Tomorrow the cagers face Ithaca College in an away game at Ithaca, New York. The Ithaca Bombers are considered an average team and should show the Colonels' relative strength. This Wednesday, Coach Rainey's cagers will meet Lycoming at Williamsport, Penna. Lycoming should also be one of the top M.A.C. contenders. They are a small but very fast team with two years of experience together. The Wilkes J.V.'s, coached by Jim Ferris, will make their debut at Lycoming at 6:30 p.m. The Wilkes grapplers will engage in their first competition today and tomorrow at West Point. Today the Wilkes first string will battle the Army J.V.'s while the second string competes against the Plebs. Tomorrow the opponents will be reversed. The cadets, as can be expected, will provide tough opposition. The swimming season does not begin until January 8. Several Wilkes mermen, however, participated in the Central YMCA's 3rd Annual Thanksgiving Swim meet. Jim Pirino took a second in the 200-yard individual medley .

This was the first in a series of programs which the evening college, under the direction of Mr. Robert Capin, hopes to promote in order to make the evening college students a part of the general college atmosphere. In this way it is hoped the students will get to know each other as well as receive a broader view of the College curriculum. Thus the evening students are welcome to attend all of the College events, including special programs, assemblies, sports events, and dances. Those students who have not received activity passes may get one at the evening college office.

A large attendance of students was taken on a tour of the Center, after which th e students gathered for a brief session where they were served coffee and doughnuts. The members of th e administration who attended were introduced, and afterwards a brief address was given by Dr. Farley. They then gathered with the general public to see the prese ntation of "The Marriage Proposal. " by Mary A. Quinn The annual Christmas formal, sponsored by the Lettermen's Club, will be held tonight in the Manfield Ballroom, South Washing ton St., Wilkes-Barre. Dancing in the mirrored ballroom will be conducted from 9 to 12 p.m., with music supplied by Ed Zacko and his orchestra. Refreshments will be served throughout the evening by members of the Lettermen's Club. To add to the holiday atmosphere of the formal , tables, enhanced by centerpieces of snow-frosted pine boughs encircling glowing red candles, will be arranged around the dancing area. As an added feature, all couples may have their pictures taken against the attractive setting of the ballroom entrance-way. Cameramen will be on hand with Polaroid cameras, and each The drama "The Devils," starring Anne Bancroft and Jason Robards, uses the technique of having one basic stage setting, but focuses the lighting on one section of the stage at a time and directs the attention of the audience toward another part of the stage by other lighting arrangements in s~lisequent scenes. The result is that the 1 play occurs in rapid ffashes, comma~ ding the full attention of the audienq!. 'The Man of La Mancha," an offr Broadway musical in Washington Square, starring Richard Kiley, Irving Jacobsen, and Joan Diener, utilizes an octagonal forestage. Since the orchestra is not in a pit but rather split in two wings in the back of the theater, and since the seating arrangement is that of a horseshoe, the total effect is one of closer rapport between the audience and the actors. The theatre is so skillfully constructed that every seat in the house is comfortable and offers an unrestricted view of the stage. �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Jette,-, t, tl,e Ce/it,,. Friday, December 10, 1965 YOU Cf),N.T t.VEN KAELAGEE TEMPERS SCORCHED FILM FANS Dear Editor: I w ould like to clarify and expand the position I took up in la st week 's Beacon against the film, David and Lisa. Student reaction has been considerably hot and heav y against w hat I w rote . I have heard threats and in sults liberally heaped upon Kaelagee from many students . Of course , none of them knew that I w a s " Kaelagee." Most interesting of all, however, w er e two students, one of w hom implied to me that he wrote the rev iew and the other openly taking credit for it. If it will give comfort to David and Lisa fans , I should like to say a few words in favor of the film, although I still stand firmly by all I wrote last week. Some of the scenes did have a certain charm (when Lisa realizes that she is a " Pearl of a girl" for instance) , or humor ( the Puerto Rican boy's intimidation of David's mother) , or psychological insight, or honest sentiment. Popular opinion of the film is based on these few good scenes, when what they really are is a sugar coating over the silly, pretentious muck underneath . If people are offended because my review scorches the sacred cow, that's too bad. I can't really be concerned , for these are the same students who fight over seats upstairs in the caf to watch Soupy Sales and rush downtow n to the movies early so they won't miss the cartoon. (Maybe the Manuscript would fill up I I 6 again next time if it showed a cartoon . ) These students should be offended , not at me for criticizing their taste , but at EDITOR REVIEWS REVIEWER Dear Editor : As co-film editor of the Manuscript, I was particularly interested in the published commen ts of the Beacon reporter concerning David and Lisa, and concluded some clarification is needed for an issue or two which seems to hav e been presented incompletely. For instance, if one were to read the a rticle hastily, he might conclude Time was the only approver of David and Lisa, w hile in truth the film prompted ra ve reviews from the America, the Saturday Review, the Commonweal, the New Republic, the New York Herald-Tribune, and last but not (in this writer's opinion) least, members of Wilkes ' student body and faculty. Also it receiv ed the following official honors : Best Film By A New Director Award , Venice Film Festival. Best Actor and Best Actress Awards , San Francisco Film Festival. and a nomination for Academy Awards for script and direction. Multiplication Another obscuring comment was that concerning the audience a s being " the largest turnout this w riter has ever seen in fi v e years at Manuscript films ." Now, unclarified, this comment might so easily be taken as an insult to the catholicity of taste of the student body. Actually the turnout was little more than normal if we ESC.~~\St--\ ... ~ 1)\STOR.TION~ OF divide by two , and I'm sure the reporter knew that due to other college a ctivities Manuscript had been limited to one showing of the film instead of the usual two, and a s a result , had to accommodate an audience swollen to double the usual size . Precious Picture After these issues and a plot summary we come to the cru x of the article : " So why is the film a hoa x? " I wondered myself. I was afraid our reviwer w a s going to accuse David and Lisa of misrepresenting psychological concepts, yet the film has been found useful by high school and college psychology classes. Fortunately the reporter never does make this a ccusation directly. He concludes that the film is a hoax because it is simple. Well, I'm sure ev en our rev iew er realizes the makers of the film nev er expected it to be a s comprehensive as a psy chologist' s case report . I'm also sure he would agree that art can afford the simplicity which science cannot, and after all , David and Lisa is more poetic than scientific. In the final analysis then, after our reviewer himself has admitted that the film is " Precious because it is simple ," Manuscript has little to explain . A piece of art need not be " great" for our attention, a s long as it is " precious" enough to please.

Uninformed Campus It has also been said that my rev iew was a vicious attack on the Manuscript. Not so! There a re few other organizations on campus which have such an important reason for being as the Manuscript. The only thing is , they don't know how to run a good film series. Instead of worrying about whether their audience 's physical appetites are filled with cookies and coffee. they should be concerned with the satiation of t h e i r intellectual appetites. Wilkes undoubtedly must have the most uninformed campus in the world when it comes to the cinema . Mention Bergman and they think of Ingrid . Men tion Ford - and they think of cars . Mention Fellini - and they don't even think! Films have the potential to be the most educating media in existence . Therefore, I urge the l\fanuscript to take advantage of this fact and contribute to the intellectual environment of the campus. Bringing in unusual films is not enough . They can be made an intellectually stimulating experience , not just a place to go some Friday night on an inexpensive date. Solution How can thi s be brought about? Easy, with a little w ork. First of all , make the film an event. At King 's the campus is plastered with stills and posters from the films , and there is a legitimate attempt made to explain the more difficult films to the student body before they see it, not after. In this way, audience interest is heightened even before the film. Word of mouth only need not be necessary to insure the success of the film . In this respect, King's audiences are well- informed, although they are also rude and noisy (at Wilkes, a udiences are usually confused, but at least they' re quiet). Secondly, program notes should be distributed . These should contain criticism of the film from reliable sources as well a s pertinent information about the period in which the film w as made , its sty le , plot, importance , etc . This will give people something to do during reel changes instead of exchanging glib comments about liking ( " I understand it") or d isliking ( "I don't understand it") the film. If this is not fea sible , then I'm sure that members of our faculty would be more than honored to present a ten-minute discussion of the film for the edification of those present. Categorized Films Finally, some attempt should be made to categorize the films. Why not a semester of new w av e films ? or American film s of the thirties? or Bogart films ? The opportunities are endless. Such a series w ould enlarge one 's v iew of cinematic hi story tremendously. If one cares. Even the Manuscript can't be blamed if student apathy exis ts here . a s I'm sure it does. (Continued on ~ SE" F< . ... '[)"°\l.)N Yl>IJtl.~E.L.F \~ :SUS ~\E. !

Kaelagee POND SURFACE by Claire Sheridan An exhibition of photographic art will be presented by Mark C ohen, sen ior fine arts major, at Conyngham Annex, December 12 to 18, from 9 a .m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p .m. daily. Invitations have been sent for the private show ing Sunday , December 12. All photographs and negatives will be for sale. Cohen's work has appeared in Leica Photography and the British Medical Journal. To th e controversial question , "Can photography be art?" Cohen answers a definitr "Y es ... He feels that photography, like painting, is an aspect of art defined as an a esthetic , sensitive reaction to experience. Both are form on a two-dimens iona l space. Painting is a crea tive interpretation of this reaction; photography is the creative sea rch for reality. This is achieved by th e unusual viewpoint, selec tive focus , time ex posure, and optical techniques that tend to distort reality and make it super-real. The objective medium of camera and object is made sub- jective by the artist-photographer in his crea tive search for viewpoint in the slice of life. Cohen has used a Leica M3 and a Hasselblad 500C camera in producing the works of art for this first photographic art exhibit of the College. The accompanying picture exemplifies C ohen's belief in photography as art and how it is achieved . In "Pond Surface" the reality and overall feeling of the foliage and water of a pond are amplified by selective focus of the leaf, isolating and intensifying the reality , and hazing the light reflected by droplets of water, giving an abstract and my sterious aura to the ex perience. "This beauty and mystery is what drew me to the pond and this is th e viewpoint that best expresses that feeling ... After graduating in F ebruary, Cohen will seek an apprenticeship with a studio in N ew York City to use various cameras and improve his style to serve his ambition: " Produ cing grea t pictures."

The recent rise in the discount rate charged by our Federal Reserve banks to the commercial banks brings a crisis into A m e r i ca n government which has been inevitable but which all parties have sought to avoid. The question on the surface is simply, "Who is the best judge of the proper level of the money supply?.. Is it the President of the United States or the seven-man Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system? The power to control the money supply is an awesome power. Should this power be responsive to the electoral process or is the power too tempting to be left to the politicians? The tradition of this nation has for the most part been a tradition of decentralization and diffusion of powers with regard to banking and every sophomore knows that the money supply is a creation of the privatelyowned commercial banks. The reserves on which demand deposits are based come from activities of our Federal Reserve banks. Specifically, purchases of obligations of the United States government by the central bank tend to increase reserves and deposits of member banks while sales of securities in the open market tend to lower member bank reserves and deposits. Also, the central banks can add reserves to the commercial banking system by lending at low interest rates. A rise in the rate paid by the commercial banks (the discount rate) indicates a tightening of reserves and money. Gold Outflow What current danger signs did the seven-man Board of Governors observe as they scanned the economic indicators this December? They were impressed with the upward movements in the price level taking place in the fourth quarter of this year after five years of relative price stability as measured by the consumer price index. They also observed that the persistent gold outHow problem seemed to be worsening in the fourth quarter. They reasoned that an anticipated rise in military expenditures could only increase inBationary pressures and aggravate the American gold position in 1966. The present time was the most opportune time to dampen price levels and to attract liquid holdings to American investments before the situation could become critical. The logic of the Board action seems unassailable, then, doesn't it? Opposition to the Fed action came from a rather impressive array of administration functionaries including Secretary of the Treasury Fowler, Director of the Budget Schultze, and Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers Ackley. It is relative to note that the seven-man Board of Gover~ nors itself divided four to three on the wisdom of the Board's action, with its controversial chairman, William McC. Martin casting the deciding vote. The administration's position developed by Fowler, Ackley, and Schultze stressed that with unemployment remaining at the three million level in the United States, it would be erroneous to draw the overheated engine analogy to the American economy's performance at this particular time. They stressed further that the administrative budget will be presented to Congress in January, 1966, and only with the presentation of that budget could a clear picture of inBationary pressures be derived. Pandora's Box Without regard for the merit of the opposite positions taken by the Board and the administrative branch of the government, it is obvious that the Board has opened a Pandora's box for Senior's Art Exhibit Features Abstracts by Florence Greskiewiez Visits to many museums in New York and Europe have contributed greatly to Miss Hahn's art experiences; she has also spent her summers improving her artistic abilities.

Congressman Patman from Texas, archfoe of powerful Federal Reserve Banks and tight money, is conducting hearings this week to determine in his words who is running the country, the Board or the President. While Patman's opinions have not been inBuential in his own House committee in the past, it is obvious that he sees in the current controversy an opportunity to raise havoc with the institutions which currently control money and banking in the United States. There is no mystery concerning what Patman would like to see Congress do. He would consider it a memorable capstone in his long career in the House if he could see the discretionary powers of the Federal Reserve System over the money supply destroyed. He would accomplish the end by making the Board and especially its chairman more subservient to Presidential policy by reducing the term of office of each member of the Board from 14 years to a tenn coincident with that of the President. In this way the independence of the Board would be reduced drastically. Low Interest Rates Conffict between the chief executive and the Federal Reserve system is nothing new on the American political scene. During the Truman administration, the Board rebelled against the function assigned to it by the Treasury Department of maintaining low interest rates on national indebtedness. The central bank's qualms centered at that time on the ways that the actions taken to keep yields low on Treasury obligations were simultaneously augmenting the money supply and causing prices to rise. The result of this controversy was a rather uneasy compromise or accord which acknowledged the independence of the Federal Reserve Board. John F . Kennedy in the 1960 presidential campaign, when queried on "Meet the Press" concerning his possible actions should there be a dichotomy between his policies and those actions which the Board resolved to follow, stated that this was one issue that he would rather not determine until he should confront a concrete situation. This is one of the few, if not the only, times that he evaded a controversial question in the campaign. The Federal Reserve system has, since 1914, undergone considerable change with regard to its proper function. In 1914, it was hoped that the Federal Reserve system would be able to avert financial panics like the one of 1907 by providing the country with an elastic money supply capable of expanding and contracting with the legitimate needs of the business community. Nobody would consider such a limited function to be the main role of the Federal Reserve system today. The relationship between the money supply and levels of employment and national output within the country is a clear and decisive one, and the central bank is expected to play a controversial role in that relationship. Friedman Thesis In appraising the future of the Federal Reserve system, it will be most interesting to find what inBuence views of Professor Milton Friedman of the University of Chicago may have. The Friedman thesis is essentially that there is a dir.ect linkage between the money supply and the level of net national product. Friedman holds that the most direct relationship exists not between money and prices as assumed in traditional economic theory but between money and the level of national output. Following this to its logical conclusion, we might discern a declining role, especially with regard to discretionary actions on the part of Fed and its Board of Governors. It is Friedman's position that if we have a policy goal of increased net national product by, let us say, three per cent a year, the money supply should be increased also by the same percentage. In this way value judgments would be removed from the central bank and transferred to the President and Congress. The entire question of an independent Federal Reserve system is a most fascinating one for all who are interested in problems in political econ- Are you one of those people who cuts every class the week before Christmas vacation in order to shop for gifts?

STUDENT TEACHERS FIND EXPERIENCE REWARDING by Lois Petroski Insecurity Common Having completed the second phase of their student teaching program, the actual teaching in co-operating area high schools and elementary schools, 53 students returned to campus last week to begin the final part of their program, summarization and evaluation of experiences. Rhoda Oram, teaching junior and senior literature at Crestwood High School , felt insecure at first. "I was afraid that I would not know enough," claims Miss Oram. "But I found that no matter how bright the students are, perhaps having I.Q.'s higher than that of the student teacher, they do not have the inimitable experience which four years of college provides. I surprised myself by expressing naturally a score of information beyond the textbooks. Things began to look bright after the first few weeks ... Also traveling daily to Crestwood was Bill Webb, who admits to an unexplainable nervous attitude. "It never failed," says Webb. "Every morning, as soon as I reached the traffic light at Industrial Park, my knees began to quiver. But as soon as I entered the classroom, the acceptance which the students displayed led to the cessation of the quivering.'' Student teachers spent the initial four weeks of the semester in relatively informal classes, preparing for their field work. During the eightweek teaching experience, they attended weekly campus seminars at which problems were discussed openly. Robert West and George Siles, members of the education department, are heading the program. Initial Difficulties Several of the student teachers consider their return to daily classes a unique experience. As Susan Evans phrases it, "I feel like an alien on Adolescent Feelings my own campus." But the singular feeling might be a natural culmination Clark Line entered the biology of eight weeks unique to the 53 in- department of Kingston High School.

STUDENT TEACHERS (Continued from page 2) gives the student teacher a chance to experiment and gain self-confidence, the program can be worthwhile. Only under such circumstances can rewards be gained." Rewarding Experience Third and fourth grade teaching at the Franklin Street School provided daily rewards for Joyce Turner who claims, "It was great to see these young students take interest in most of what I did. I was rewarded each day in knowing that I took part in laying the foundation on which a great structure could be built." Miss Oram took personal interest in one girl who seemed to care little about school. and whose grades reflected her attitude. "By about the seventh week," she affirms, "the student was studying rather diligently and receiving better grades. I felt as though I had accomplished something. " Disappointed Idealist Line feels that the teaching experience for one who enters with the idealistic attitude of "lifting the students from their doldrums of apathy" can be a sad disappointment. He found it is a "hard pull to get the students to respond." But he discovered that achieving communication, if only with one student, can be rewarding. Line witnessed one of his students, a huge football player, rise gradewise, from "D" to "B". "It may sound corny," says Line, "but one day I saw in his eyes, where blankness before resided, a glimmer. I had incited him to think. This was the same student who, the second week of school, probably would have been much happier if I had kept quiet and let him sleep." Susan Evans found her first graders eager to respond. "My problem," says Miss Evans, "was having enough patience. The students learn by doing. They remember concepts when they themselves come 110 wifb them es-- pecially along the nature of science. However, the process of pulling answers from children so young can be quite long. Patience is vital to the successful teacher. " Donna Kimball , who taught literature, writing, and grammar at Meyers High School, found that students tend to resist being fed facts . "A more favorable atmosphere prevailed in my American literature class, " states Mrs. Kimball. "Students show more interest when they are allowed to offer their own ideas of interpretation. However, I had difficulty in asking questions which brought appropriate responses from the students." MR. "LOUIE" TUHY OF THE POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. quite recently. The situation never got out of hand. My age did not lessen the respect which the students showed. It prompted a desirable relationship." "Although we were advised against becoming a 'pal' of students, I found it necessary to be their friend ," asserts Bill Webb. "My camp and Y.M.C.A . experiences proved advantageous to developing favorable relations with the young people at Crestwood. I chaperoned two dances and attended basketball games. The students saw me at these events and came over to talk with me. I feel that my interest in their extracurricular activities made them more interested in what I had to say in the classroom. Also, they seemed to overlook my shortcomings in the classroom. I really felt that they were on my side during the whole eight weeks." Line discovered certain of his shortcomings in the classroom also. He found that the atmosphere for learning is helped if the teacher can approach the level of the students. "Although the students would lose respect for the teacher whose level coincided with their own, they are less critical of the teacher who admits 'he doesn't know' once in awhile. They work with the teacher, rather than against him." Inhibited Students Miss Oram feels that the average high school student does not answer freely in class. She attributes the inhibition to "his excessive self-consciousness and consequent desire not to be the focus of classroom attention for fear of giving a wrong answer." Wilson expounds on the teenager's dislike of embarrassment, which he feels "leads one to apply himself scholastically." Being a history major at the College, Wilson is quite familiar with the technique of surprise quizzes. These he administered freely. "Rather than suffer the embarrassment Longer Period Needed of failure, " claims Wilson, "most stuMiss Oram feels that the actual dents, especially among the seniors, kept abreast with the material.

The purpose of this party was to enable those persons residing in the local rest homes to participate in a pre-holiday festivity . The party was enhanced by colorful decorations, candy, cake and beverages, along with a visit by "Santa," who gave a gift to all those invited. Included in T .D .R.'s most immediate plans is their annual Valentine semiformal, which will be held the week following the beginning of the Spring semester. Lettermen The College Lettermen's Club , after their successful Christmas formal which was held recently at the Manfield Ballroom, plan to take charge of the concessions at the Open Wrestling Tournament at the College, as well as later at the MAC Tournament, which will also be held at the College.

At Fairview, the College students were acquainted with the patients as well as the kitchen, recreation, ceramics, woodworking, painting and other shop facilities. Most of these hospital, patient-centered shops are self-sufficient with their products being sold to neighboring stores. The students also had the opportunity to attend a lecture and discussion session involving participation by several of the doctors at Fairview. The Psychology Club officers expressed their desire to initiate a program through which Wilkes, King's and other surrounding colleges could gain valuable experience in psychology, sociology and other related fields by working in connection with such institutions.

Beecher Charmbury, Pennsylvania's Secretary of Mines. Charmbury gave his views on plans for improvement of conditions in Wyoming Valley. Some of his statements offered hope for im- provement of conditions in the Valley, but on one basic point he did not sound optimistic. This point was the prospect of a stronger strip mine law for the hard coal region. for the bituminous region than it does for the hard coal region. A stronger strip mine bill had been passed by the Democratic House, but has been stymied in the current session by the Republicans in the Senate. This reporter was told that the present bill would not get out of the Senate, and was given the impression that this was exactly where the administration wanted the bill. Charmbury seemed to feel that the present strip mine law is adequate. However, it is well known that the current law offers stronger protection Vocotion Lihrory Hours In other areas the outlook is brighter. " Operation Goldfinger," in which it is proposed that compressed cars be placed in stripping pits, offers hope that two problems might be cleaned up with one program : if stripping pits can be filled with junk cars, then the countryside will be rid of the eyesore of both junkyards and stripping pits.

During the semester a great deal more than study has occupied the students' time. The individual student may spend his extracurricular time in diverse forms . Worthwhile activities, organizations, clubs, and galas offer worthwhile opportunities for enjoyable hours. Yet something much more than these officially organized groups and activities should exist for the extra-academic betterment of the student. Cliques Present Page 5 philosophical levels suffer derision by the efforts of narrowminded cliques. Those who revolt not from the physical norms imposed by current tastes ,......, for those bearded or uniquely clad are not to be dealt with here ,......, and assert i n d i v i d u a 1 i t y of mind are " branded." Various labels are muttered at those daring to assert their right to freedom of mind and spirit. Intimacy Scorned Another incidence to be avoided in these narrow-minded, suspicious, and accusing eyes are truly close relation- found too great a number in that category. These, too, retain old prejudices, quickly form new ones, and see no farther intellectually than the collective mind of their particular cliques. Such groups are formed not so much through earnest search as through mere circumstance. "Outsiders" are often treated with external civility while being regarded with baseless suspicion. Bias still blocks the open mind; conformity to the "in" trends stifles sincere, not revolting individualtm; h selfishness strangles love or umanity; a thumb to the nose replaces the helping hand; pseudo-aristocracy marks genuine culture; quasi-education very little encourages intellectual development. All of these manifest themselves here .at the College with varying degrees of signi- Even though the average campus cynic often dismisses the Christmas holidays with a "Yah, what tripe!" attitude, he must admit that the holiday definitely has certain beneficial effects on the student. At Wilkes, this blase outlook has given way to Christmas spirit, in spite of the efforts of our ever-present cynics. The holiday season officially began with the arrival of the first Christmas card,......, from Dr. Farley. "Angels" in the girls' dormitories have been hiding their Christmas presents. One woman who works in the cafeteria has been wearing holly earrings all week. The various choral groups ~n the music department, practicing for their numerous Christmas concerts, fill Chase Theatre and the surrounding area with holiday music. Campus organizations have begun to plan their Christmas parties. Most of the dormitories sport evergreen trees, greeting cards, and Christmas lights. The library has decorated its usual tiny tree. The Snack Bar has plac~d a. blue artific_ial tree in its window. The BEACON office, which is larger this year, contains two trees. Yet there are still a few spots on campus that have evaded the contagious holiday spirit. A dead Christmas tree lies neglected in front of Sturdevant Hall. Some teachers have persisted in assigning term papers and tests that are due January 3. A "Santa Claus is dead" sign has become entangled in the telephone wires near the library. The boys of one dormitory have painted a "Bah, humbug!" sign on one of its windows. Ah, well! At least the College has been spared the blazing neon redand-green Christmas decorations of downtown Wilkes-Barre. ships b e t w e e n individuals.

This is a question that in recent years has caused much lively debate and several hundred stabbings among American college professors. Some contend that if a student's intellect is sufficiently aroused, happiness will automatically follow. Others say that to concentrate on the intellect and ignore the rest of the personality can only lead to misery. I myself favor the second view, and I offer in evidence the well-known case of Knut Fusco. Knut, a forestry major, never got anything less than a straight "A," was awarded his B.T. (Bachelor of Trees) in only two years, his M.S.B. (Master of Sap and Bark) in only three, and his D.B.C. (Doctor of Blight and Cutworms) in only four. Academic glory was his. His intellect was the envy of every intellect fan on campus. But was he happy? The answer, alas, was no. Knut-he knew not why-was miserable; so miserable, in fact, that one day while walking across campus, he was suddenly so overcome with melancholy that he flung himself, weeping, upon the statue of the Founder. By and by, a liberal arts coed named Nikki Sigafoos came by with her Barby doll. She noted Knut's condition. "How come you're so unhappy, hey?" said Nikki. "Suppose you tell me, you dumb old liberal arts major," replied Knut peevishly. "All right, I will," said Nikki. "You are unhappy for two reasons. First, because you have been so busy stuffing your intellect that you have gone and starved your psyche. I've got nothing against learning, mind you, but a person oughtn't to neglect the pleasant, gentle amenities of life-the fun things. Have you, for instance, ever been to a dance?" Knut shook his head. "H ave you ever " ••. and then to a justice of the peace." watched a sunset? Written a poem? Shaved with a Personna Stainless Steel Blade?" Knut shook his head. "Well, we'll fix that right now," said Nikki, and gave him a razor, a Personna Stainless Steel Blade, artd a can of Burma Shave. Knut lathered with the Burma Shave and shaved with the Personna and for the first time in many long years he smiled. He smiled and then he laughed-peal after peal of reverberating joy. "Wow-dow!" he cried. "What a shave! Does Personna come in injector style, too?" "It does," said Nikki. "Gloriosky !" cried Knut. "And does Burma Shave come in menthol, too?" "It does," said Nikki. "Huzzah!" cried Knut. "Now that I have found Personna and Burma Shave I will never have another unhappy day." "Hold!" said Nikki. "Personna and Burma Shave alone will not solve your problem-only half of it. Remember I said there were two things making you unhappy?" "Oh, yeah," said Knut. "What's the other one?" "How long have you had that bear trap on your foot?" said Nikki. "I stepped on it during a field trip in my freshman year,'' said Knut. "I keep meaning to have it taken off." "Allow me," said Nikki and removed it. "Land's sakes, what a relief!" said Knut, now totally happy, and took Nikki's hand and led her to a Personna vendor and then to a justice of the peace.

His second nomination resulted from his excellent display of defensive abilities against D elaware Valley. Yatko has been equally outstanding this past season as the keystone of the defensive team, which gained praise as being one of the toughest small college defenses in the East.

The Wilkes Open is the largest tourney of its kind and has gained world-acclaim, including coverage by "SPORTS ILLUSTRATED " which dubbed the tournament the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling." The "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" began as a wrestling tournament for high sc hools and colleges alike and was first held at the Y.M.C.A. However, because of the rapid increase in popularity and the sharpening of the competition, most of the present entries are from colleges, universities, and athletic clubs. The tournament, widely acclaimed as the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling, " is expected to attract well over three hund red contestants this year. Final date for entries has been set for December 18.

After rigorous prepara, tory training and dieting in order to lose an excess of 40 pounds, Carr battled his way to the finaJs where he met John Rushatz of Lehigh. Rushatz, however, proved to hold the upper hand as he pinned Carr in 8:58 in a match which saw both boys near exhaustion. The Colonels' hope of a Rose Bowl champion ended with Carr's loss. In last year's tournament , the University of Pittsburgh won team honors in the Open with Lock Haven second and East Stroudsburg third.

Rushatz, 167-16. champion mentioned above , also scored the greatest amount of points per individual. Grapplers Cop Opener By Smashing Bombers The Wilkes grapplers emerged victorious last Saturday night by posting an easy 25-12 victory over the Bombers of Ithaca College at the Wilkes gym. It was the Colonels' opening meet of the season. Last year Ithaca handed Coach Reese 's wrestlers their on ly loss of the season . The Colonels avenged last year's loss to the Bombers with five of the Wilkes grapplers posting pi ns. They were Ed Witczak, Jim McCormick, John Gardner, Dick Cook , and John Carr, captain. Cook was leading 20-3 before he registered his fall. Carr had the shortest shift of the evening as he pinned his opponent in I :40. Wilkes ' victory was especially outstanding since the Ithaca Bombers wrestle the likes of Syracuse and Lock Haven State College, both of which are college mat powers, in its two upcoming meets. INTRAMURAL$ Intramural basketball rosters are to be ei ther in Mr. Schmidt's mailbox at the Bookstore or on Mr. Reese's desk at the gym by Saturday, January 8.

Higgens will speak to the studen ts at the Center for the Performing Arts, concerning volunteer work on Indian reserva tions, among migrant farm workers, in urban slums, and in rural pockets of poverty from Appalachian hollows to Alaskan villages. Higg ens is special assistant to the Direc tor of Recru itment and Com munity Relations for VISTA. He previously worked in public se rvice tel evision as a consultant, program participant , and producer , and is a former faculty member of the University of Maryland's overseas program . Higgens pointed out that out of the 1500 VISTA volunteers, at least 75 per cent are between the ages of 18 to 24. He stated that although many are recent college graduates, almost half have only one or two years of undergraduate work. He attributes the high rate of acceptance on the college level to their "initiative, commitment, and adaptability." These volunteers conduct literacy programs, organize clean-up campaigns, develop recreation programs. tutor drop-outs, set up libraries, survey health needs, and teach housekeeping techniques. Working with their sponsors, they develop a whole new range of techniques in doing the ir part in the war on poverty . Volunteers have th e opportunity to request service in a specific geographical area and to indicate the type of assignment they prefer. Before they can begin th eir assignment , the candidates complete a six-week training program. Volunteers serve for one year and are provided with living expenses and med ical care while th ey live and work among the poor. In addition to allowances for food , housing, travel, and clo:hing, they receive $600 at the end o f their service. The o nly requirement to join VISTA is that the applicant be over 18. No entranc e exa mination or interview is necessa ry . Application forms will be available on campus.

Still individuality and individualism are used synonymously. The re~ mainder of this dissertation concerns examples of these current meanings. Originality Commended An admirable application today of individuality pertains to those gifted of mind or pro~ ficient in skills who propose new theories , invent useful gadgets, or in some way improve conditions for the human race. These men set forth something truly original, instead of bor~ rowing wholesale from the past. While it must be stated that the past and its fundamental guides and recorded knowledge are indispensable to the furthering of mankind, totally new chapters from original minds must be chronicled in its tests. Thus the creative genius, not the financial wizard or the oddball, comprises the nearest sem~ blance to an individual. And yet so rarely does one person today gain fame for a single worth w hi 1e accomplishment. Movie stars receive press coverage for a walk across the street while accounts of scientists and inventors are relegated to technical journals or a small paragraph in some inconspic~ uous corner of a "name" magazine. Also today inventors work in teams or groups in~ dependently, or in the laboratories and research departments of large corporations or the government. 11i1~ g@@Wfi§SSlf!AfJ@P.TY IN COtJ\IERSATION Win+ C.C.

In other cases individuality now approaching individualism can manifest itself as a menace. Where conformity is a prerequisite to order as in the moral and legal conduct of society, individualism becomes a party to dissidence and rebellion which cannot be tolerated if chaos is to be prevented. Conformity, and not individuality, no matter how much the former is scorned or the latter extolled, must reign supreme for the greater benefit of society. Another instance in which individualism is a plague currently presents itself at the College. Our cagers, for which great expectations were held with a new respected coach and many new and highly talented players, have not produced as had been hoped. The present nonwinning condition may be amended by starring transfer students next semester, but the present squad could have done much better. How and why? Simply, there were too many chiefs and not enough indians. Too many basketball players were so "great" that they destroyed the team effort by seeking to augment their own glory. These "individualists" when in possession of the ball but well covered by the opposition .... even three men at a time ---would rather shoot the ball and try to add two points to their own tally than pass the ball to a "teammate" in order to set up a clear good shot. When our cagers become more of a team and less a conglomeration of stars, the College will see more praiseworthy performances than have been viewed during this semester. We have the material; let's produce, Coach! Singularity often e x i s ts where group effort would be more appropriate. Cliques, narrow-minded or otherwise, which may stifle individuality cannot be condemned merely because they are cliques. Further study of the situation is needed before anyone c a n apply a condemnation to all cliques or all individualists. We three hope that Mr. A. H.

In one of the top matches of Wednesday evening's finals, John Carr became the first Wilkes wrestler to ever win an Open championship. He delighted the hometown fans by defeating his I 67-pound counterpart from Cornell. Jeff Stephens, 5-0. Carr, last year's N.C.A.A. small college 167pound champion, was never in any difficulty throughout his bout. Other Colonels to place high were Al Arnold, Barry Gold, Dave Hall, and Joe Wiendl. All were eliminated in the quarterfinals. The Bruce Blackman Trophy, awarded annually to the meet's top wrestler, went to Wayne Hicks of the U .S . Naval Academy. This is the second y ear that Hicks has captured the Blackman award. He posted the only fall in the finals by pinning Alan Waite of Lock Haven in 8:30 in the 145-pound weight class.

Rosen This year's Winter Carnival was held on Friday, January 28, at Buck Hill Falls. Those who finished registering on Thursday bravely headed for the slopes, the pond, or picturesque walks in the below zero weather. After the chaos of Friday registration, underclassmen followed . Inside the Inn, games of ping-pong, pool, billiards, and bridge were enjoyed by those who escaped to the warmth of the fire. The activities of the day continued into evening with dinner and dancing to th e music of Mel Wynn and the Rhythm Aces. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Darlene Moll as Snow Queen by last year's queen , Diane Alfaro. Members of the queen"s court were Maureen Savage and Cheryl Tarity. Darlene is a member of the Student Government and is president of Catlin Hall. Maureen is a cheerleader, a member of Women's Athletic Association, and a member of the Education Club. Cheryl is a member of T.D.R. and the Executive Council. Ron Czajkowski, co-chairman of the event, emphasized that the Winter Carnival is an annual non-profit event held for the students during midsemester break, as a strictly " fun " day. However, in their enthusiasm, not everyone had a " fun " day. Casualties of the day included a broken foot, a few broken ankles, and a frozen ear lobe.

J. Gavala, Ina George, George HarA shy girl named Agnes ( Hazel Hulsizer) comes to the office looking for a job. She is ignored until a nondescript little man from the town of Bellac comes to her aid. He demonstrates that she can have her way with any man if she will, upon meeting him , declare that he is handsome, and compare him to the statue of the nonex istent Apollo of Bellac. This she does hesitantly, beginning with the clerk (Jan Kubicki) and working her way up through Mr. Cracheton, a director of the company (Stephen J. Gavala) , to her most successful victim, the chairman of the board (David Frey). She not only manages to make each man she comes in contact with feel important and useful, she also succeeds with the president of the patent company (Gene Susko) by changing his estimation of his own self-attributes and those of his wife Therese (Nancy Leland) . By changing his attitude toward his secretary Chevrendent (Sheryl Napoleon) , Agnes brings about a further transformation of his character.

What is their particular contribution to ignominy that they should be so mistreated by certain of the College's students? What harm does a cafeteria ash tray bring about that it should be filled with garbage instead of ashes and butts? What is the offense of a coke glass that it should be tortured by burning cigarette butts? Perhaps the ice cuts short the glass's agony by its ability to quench the fire, but the point is that ashes do not coke does. For there is a purpose for everything; and a thing for every purpose. Turn. Turn. Turn. Ashes in ash trays. Garbage in garbage disposals. And coke in coke glasses. The cafeteria staff obligingly provides students with ash trays and refuse containers. Please do not pervert the natural purposes of these particular aids to better living. There is really no point in desecrating them - except per- haps to demonstrate a thirst for slovenliness on the part of certain students. And they should really not be so anxious to give physical expression to this drive to be enveloped by garbage. Their primary concern should be to maintain the cleanliness of their surroundings and to defend from perversion the natural functions of materials provided for their use. L.S. WHAT • WHERE • February 4, 1966 BEACON The Tables Turned In Sloppy Conversation Turn, Turn, Turn belong, in the first place, in a coke glass - COLLEGE by Helen Dugan Once upon a time there was a college - Wilkes College, to be exact. This was a very happy college - clap once for the public relations department. In this happy college was a cafeteria - a secret partner of the alka-seltzer company. In this nauseating .. . er ... nostalgically happy college cafeteria twelve wooden lives are so ruthlessly crushed each day that one must shake his head in utter contempt wondering how much longer the students' indifference will allow this vulgarity to continue. At approximately 7:30 a.m., the abuse begins. A half-dozing student staggers into the cafeteria day-sy side and recklessly tosses his books on the table. The table moans ever so slightly from the infliction. As the boy walks over to the counter to get coffee, the table utilizes its possibly last few minutes of solitude. Pssstt. Hey, table. Yeh , you with the shiney top - temporarily shiney, I might add. So you're new here , eh? Well, today is going to be a day you'll never forget. The kids are starting to come now , so you'd better prepare yourself for getting kicked, pounded , and overloaded till you think you're going to collapse. Hey, what's your name, anyway? Stately Stan Well, when I was a tree oh, those were the good ole days - all my friends use to admire my gigantic limbs that waved so gracefully when they were caught up by a passing wind. Someone called me Stately Stan and it caught on. But now with these rivets and this varnish, I don't feel so stately. By the way, what's your name, table? That's the story of my life. All my neighbors just used to call me 'tree.' They would say, ·· Hey tree, what's a scrawny little thing like you doing here with us great walnuts?" But I did get to be a table - those guys probably ended up as coffins - but now every one just says, " Hey, table." It's really very frustrating. Oh. I'm sorry. Didn't you ever have a name? I think its Tim, although no one ever called me that while I was growing. But one day it was the summer before I figured I would rot - this burly guy with an axe came up to my trunk and started hacking away. I know how it must have felt. I got it with a chain saw. Chopped Down Well, as I was saying, this idiot was hacking away at my trunk and it was terrible. There I was, sap running out, acorns dropping , 1 i m b s f 1 a pp in g around. I could feel myself starting to lose touch. I was franticly yelling, '"Hit'm with your limb, mama ." When my downfall became a certainty, I heard a shrilling voice cry out. It was mama. She was yelling, "Tim . . . Ber". But you don't have to be formal. Just call me Timmy. Why, you poor tree!

Now you are a sturdy table worthy of great admiration. Are you leafy or something? This is the Wilkes cafeteria. Watch this. I'll show you what I mean. See this guy coming my way? He is here every morning, and every morning he spills coffee on my varnish. See those blisters? Then he goes running off to class and always leaves his dirty cup stuck to my top. Oh, how awful. Open Wound That's not the half of it, Stately. Did you ever have sugar spilled in an open coffee wound? So you're thinking, fight coffee with coffee, right? Wrong . I tried it. I popped a board and sent a half-spilled cup of coffee into some crazy Shirley's lap. She kicked me right in a knot. I didn't stand straight for weeks. She left her cup there, too. That's horrible. Co u Id n ' t they put signs on the tables to remove the dishes? Are you kidding? A student goes to school for twelve years to learn to read . Right? He comes in this cafeteria with his friend, looks at the sign, says, '"Da .. Hey, Stretch. Wot's dis sign for?" Then Stretch says, '" Da ... Id't know Charlie. Ha, Ha, let's make an air-a-plane.'' Is it really that hopeless? Certainly is. But the morning is heaven compared to lunch time. On top of the sugar and coffee goes lettuce, mustard, cake, tuna fish , coke, dinner plates, dirty napkins, chips, cigarettes, and more cups and saucers. And when you are sure your surface is completely covered, the second shift of lunatic lunchers come in . Poor Timmy. Ahhhhhhh!!. ( Uttered in obvious pain) . Coffee? No, I think its tea with lemon. It's starting to curdle my varnish. Wait till you get the knife shoved in your grain. What happens after lunch? I mean, do the students clear away the dishes? It hasn't happened yet. They just keep piling them up until they cannot pile them any higher. Then do they take them away? Frustration Na. Then they start piling them on the chairs. That goes on till the end of the day. For nine hours you stand there wishing you could kick some kid back or better yet dump the whole mess in his lap - just to see how he likes it. What happens when all the students leave for the day? That's the time of day I have to keep thinking of to go on with this torture. About 5 p.m. a nice old lady comes with a big tray. She takes all the dishes and food away and scrubs my top with warm sudsy water. Gee, I didn't have it that good even when I was a tree. Yeh, that's the good time, alright. But it's the next thing that I really look forward to . Yeh. What's that? That's when she moves back all the chairs and brings mama over to see me. You mean she brings your mama in here? Yeh, she's a broom . Oh! �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 4, 1966 Manuscript Notice Classes Beld The next MANUSCRIPT meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 8, at 11 a.m. in Conyngham 209. Those interested in editorial positions on the 1966- I 967 Beacon staff may attend classes held by the editor every Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Conyngham l08. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 ROMAN IN THE GLOAMIN' Now as the end of the first semester draws near, one fact emerges clearly: you are all going to flunk out of school. There are two things you can do about it. First, you can marry money. (I don't mean you marry the money itself; I mean you marry a person who has money. Weddings between people and currency have not been legal anywhere in the United States since the Smoot-Hawley Act. Personna® Stainless Steel Blades, on the other hand, are legal everywhere and are, indeed, used with great pleasure and satisfaction in all fifty states of the Union and Duluth. I bring up Personna Stainless Steel Blades because this column is sponsored by the makers of Personna Stainless Steel Blades, and they are inclined to get edgy if I omit to mention their product. Some of them get edgy and some get double-edgy because Personna Blades come both in Injector style and Double Edge style.) But I digress. I was saying you can marry money but, of course, you will not because you are a high-minded, cleanliving, pure-hearted, freckle-faced American kid. Therefore, to keep from flunking, you must try the second method: you must learn how to take lecture notes. According to a recent survey, eleven out of ten .American undergraduates do not know the proper way to take lecture notes. To illustrate this appalling statistic, let us suppose you are taking a course in history. Let us further suppose the lecturer is lecturing on the ruling houses of England. You listen intently. You write diligently in your notebook, making a topic outline as you have been taught. Like this: I. House of Plantagenet. II. House of Lancaster. III. House of York. Then you stop. You put aside your pen. You blink back a tear, for you cannot go on. Oh, yes, you know very well that the next ruling house is the House of Tudor. The trouble is you don't know the Roman numeral that comes after III. It may, incidentally, be of some comfort to learn that you are not the only people who don't know Roman numerals. The fact is, the Romans never knew them either. Oh, I suppose they could tell you how much V or X were or like that, but when it came to real zingers like LXI or MMC, they just flang away their styluses and went downtown to have a bath or take in a circus or maybe stab Caesar a few times. You may wonder why Rome stuck with these ridiculous numerals when the Arabs had such a nice, simple system. Well, sir, the fact is that Emperor Vespasian tried like crazy to buy the Arabic numerals from Suleiman The Magnificent, but Suleiman wouldn't do business-not even when Vespasian raised his bid to 100,000 gold piastres, plus he offered to throw in the Colosseum, the Appian Way, and Technicolor. So Rome stuck with Roman numerals-to its sorrow, as it turned out. One day in the Forum, Cicero and Pliny got to arguing about how much is CDL times MVIX. Well, sir, pretty soon everyone in town came around to join the hassle. In all the excitement, nobody remembered to lock the north gate and-wham! before you could say ars longa-in rushed the Goths, the Visigoths, and the Green Bay Packers! Well, sir, that's the way the empire crumbles, and I digress. Let's get back to lecture notes. Let's also say a word about Burma Shave®. Why? Because Burma Shave is made by the makers of Personna Blades who, it will be recalled, are the sponsors of this column. They are also the sponsors of the ultimate in shaving luxury. First coat your kisser with Burma Shave, regular or menthol-or, if you are the devil-may-care sort, some of each. Then whisk off your stubble with an incredibly sharp, unbelievably durable Personna Blade, Injector or Double Edge-remembering first to put the blade in a razor. The result: facial felicity, cutaneous cheer, epidermal elysium. Whether you shave every day, every III days, or every VII, you'll always find Personna and Burma Shave a winning combination. Page 3 Vujicas J'ouraey South For College Sabbatical In the summer of 1964 the College board of trustees voted to institute a policy granting faculty members sabbatical leaves. Dr. Stanko M. Vujica, chairman of the philosophy and religion department, and Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librarian, are the first members of the staff to take advantage of the new policy . Dr. Vujica and his wife have been at the College since 1947. Dr. Vujica is a member of the American Philosophy Association, the American Association of University Professors, and the Croatian Academy of America. He has published extensively both in English and his native Croatian, and has been chairman of the faculty seminar for the past few years. Mrs. Vujica is listed as a writer in "Who"s Who Among American Women, " and as an educator in " Who"s Who in Education ," and "Who's Who in Library Service." Dr. Vujica, on a previous sabbatical, spent a year in Asia studying oriental philosophies and religions. This semester he plans to retire to a warmer section of the United States to help the administration"s Balance of Payments Policy. Mrs. Vujica, who has also published in her native Croatian, plans to spend her time writing. She will resume her duties on June 15. ,❖,❖-,-·­ -- - Dr. and Mrs. Stanko Vujica make plans for sabbatical. Farley Presents Pion For Larger Library At a recent assembly meeting, Dr. Eugene S. Farley spoke on the topic "Short and Long-Range Development" which dealt mainly with the new library, a project he termed the College·s " most pressing concern." Pointing out the College's greatly expanded enrollment over the past ten years, including an increase of full time day students from 850 to 1,750, Dr. Farley stated that the inevitable result is a need for a new library that will serve for the next 25 years. Other facts that attest to the College's growth are: in ten years the evening school enrollment has doubled; the science, art, and humanities programs have been strengthened; and a graduate program in chemistry and physics has been introduced. The new library will shelve 300,000 volumes and will seat 650 students. Dr. Farley showed the necessity for this increased space by stating that within the last three years the use of the library has tripled. Increased enrollment and assignments have created the present-day situation where makeshift tactics have reached the limit. For example, because the present li- 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 "It's hard for a youngster to learn good manners without seeing any." brary has a normal capacity for only 50,000 volumes, it has been necessary to shelve books in the science center and reduce the seating capacity . This arrangement has allowed the College to accommodate the present collection of 80,000 volumes, hut since 6,000 to 7,000 volumes are added each year, it " is apparent that an impasse will exist until adequate space is provided. " The inevitable answer is a new library, the cost of which is estimated at approximately $2,150,000. Of this amount the College is s e e k i n g $1.500,000 from friends, while the remaining $650,000 has been assured through a federal grant from the National Defense Education Administration. Concluding his talk with a look to the future, Dr. Farley stated, "When the library is completed, it is hoped that the College will be able to strengthen and consolidate its position for several years before planning other projects involved in the long-range plans which have been projected to the year 2000." Senior's Exhibit Features Poetry Beverly Granat will present her Senior Art Exhibit, a requirement for all Fine Arts majors, in Conyngham Annex, February 7 to 12 from 9 a .m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Some of Miss Granat's paintings are prefaced with poetry rather than titles, because there is "something in the spirit of the poem which is relevant to and expresses the feeling of the completed painting. " Miss Granat states that she believes all art stems from within the artist, but the spirit of the work is not present until completed. "A true artist can express this feeling in any medium: literature, music, fine arts, the dance, or the theatre. The medium the artist chooses is the one he feels he can manipulate best." Miss Granat also expresses herself in poetry . As an English minor, Miss Granat feels that literature is a necessary tie to her work in art.
