James Jacobs, was present at this week 's SG meeting at the College. A meeting between officers of both SG's brought about a decision that there should be reciprocal representation at SG meetings in order to avoid conflicts between the schools in the area of social programming. M1?mbers of SG, in sympathy with the plight of the Debate Society, proposed supporting the club under Intercollegiate Affairs and giving it a date to sponsor a dance. Also proposed was that SG ask the Administration to increase its allotment to cover the Debate Society request. A final motion, proposed by Katie Eastman, was passed through which SG would grant the Debate Society $75 under Intercollegiate Affairs to cover its debate scheduled for this Saturday. Further action will be taken after Thanksgiving. Also discussed at the meeting was the 6-4 representation at the Constitutional Convention. Bill Gasparovic, a dorm student, voiced the opinion that by the very set-up of the 6-4 representation, the dorm students are being put into a minority. He proposed that there should be equal representation with day and dorm students each having five delegates. He stated that as it stands now, SG is a day-oriented organization which does not give the dorm student a " fair shake." He said that SG is not accomplishing its task or else IDC would not have been set up. He said it was recognized by the Administration by the fact that it endorsed !DC. Miss Eastman and Carl Siracuse explained that the 6-4 split was by student population and not day-oriented. Siracuse also stated that SG recognized the ineffectiveness and this was the reason for the Constitutional Convention. He also expressed the opinion that at the convention, dorm students will be able to "air their {!ripes" and this will probably close the gap between the two groups. A vote of confidence was called and the 6-4 representation was confirmed. Paul Wender then stated that it was Pictured are students elected to Who's Who: 1st row, left to right: Judy Simonson, Sharon· Daney, Maureen Flanley, Myrna Brodbeck, Alicia Ramsey; 2nd row: William Bush, Robert Thompson, Fran Olexy, Ned Williams, Robert Brown, and Rodger Brewer; 3rd row: David Frey, George Andresky, John T. Engle, Jr,, Wayne Bloomburg, Dale Kresge and Joe Gatto; absent: Joseph Kiefer, and John Vanderhoof. Constitution revision begins; Students nominate delegates At Tuesday"s class meetings the nomination of delegates to the Constitutional Revision Committee was th e main concern on the agenda. The elections will be held on Monday, November 20, in the Commons. The first meeting of the delegates will be held on November 30. Those nomina ted are as follow s: Freshman day students: Francy Arcuvi, Robert Blum , Andy Cecconi, Mark Chamberlain, Bob Davis, Barry DeHaven, Sheila Hogan, Ben Lodeski, Molly MacNamara.

Sophomore day students: M aureen Clinton, Judy Cobleigh, George Conway, Jay Goldstein, Sandie Hall, Debby Obielski, Maryann Polocko, Charles Spano, Barbara Williams, and Jay Ungar : dorm students: Marilyn Aaronsen, Randy Carone, Barba ra Gonzales, Dave Koranda, Sandy Strevell, and Alice Womack. Junior day students: Rosalie D emko, Elizabeth Hague, Nancy Hawk. Rosalie Mazur, Mike Petrillo, Dave Ralston , Tom Richards, Stephen Shai man, Sharon Tyson, Sandy Vici, and Carol Womelsdorf; dorm students: Christine Fisher, Bill Gasparovic. Mike Hamilton, Karen Johnson, Mark Rosenbaum , Beverly Siegel, and Chris Sulat. Senior day students: Keiry Balchun, about time that the students and the Administration stopped putting SG aside. The student organization is constantly being tied up with things like Winter Carnival and Homecoming . Dan Kopen stated that the stir brought about by Zig Pines' letter in the Beacon should have been the work of SG and not the sophomore class. President Joe Gatto agreed and is going to On Sunday, November 26, from 11 arrange a meeting with Dr. Farley. He said, " It's about time we (SG) {!Ot a.m. to 6 p.m., the Greater Wilkesout of the cellar: SG needs to take a Barre Jaycees will sponsor an eye screening test to detect amblyopia ex stand." anopsia or lazy eye.

At the meeting of the sophomore class, President Zig Pines suggested a new system of administration: a tri council in which the Administration would have seven votes, the faculty six votes, and the student body five votes in making decisions. The class dance held recently was declared a success in the treasury report. SG nominations were also held. One representative will be elected at the November twentieth election from among the following: Bill McGraw, John Freund, Barbara C"onzales, Marilyn Aaronsen, Melvin Rogers, and Judy Cobleigh. SG representative Tom Kelly, at the junior meeting, stressed the fact that the dorm students will receive a guaranteed representation on the revision committee. The senior meeting, in addition to a discussion of the Constiutional Revision, involved a discussion of plans for graduation. The students voted to keep the baccalaureate service and a proposal was made for the dates of the ceremonies. J['s begin campaign people are often unaware of the condition. Comparison of vision of one eye with the other is the method used to detect the defect. This is done by optometric examination. Amblyopia is not considered blindness, but with very poor vision the eye may be classed as "legally blind." It is important that amblyopia is detected early in life so proper treatment can be administred. Usually, some kind of temporary patching or covering of the better eye may be employed. -NOTICEREMINDER TO SENIORS Order Your Yearbooks Campaign, November 13-17 Amnicola Office, Conyngham 108 �THE Page2 (Jit,,.itLI BEACON Friday, November 17, 196, • The Time Has [ome Mid-Ea st Critics, Realists, Constructivists, Idealists, arise! Wake the apathetic! Shake the indifferent! The student body constitution, all anchor and no sails, is to be disgarded. A new document, fresh, viable, and contemporary, is to be written. Monday, delegates will be chosen .to represent your views, your concerns, your intelligence. The significance of this event is that if a "new" constitution is to be adopted it will force you to THINK. It will force you to THINK about the role of the student in the College. It will force you to THINK about the basic motives for your being a member of the "academic community" and an equal in the "company of educated men." It will force you to THINK about your relationship with the faculty and the policy-makers in Weckesser Hall. It will force you to THINK about the problems inherent in your relationship with the College, and it will force you to provide some vehicle to cope with these problems. If a constitution is to be adopted that will have any relevance, it will happen only if you, the student, takes the initiative. In the past the student government has functioned primarily as an organizer of activities. Dances, campaigns, dinners, concerts, and elections have kept the social calendar in a whirl. What is needed is a student government that can organize ideas as well as activities. The student body needs an organization that can synthesize its ideas, gripes. and concerns into action. The student needs a forum which will provide a voice and have the power to turn the present concern into concerted effort. What are some of the problems which make the present setup inadequate? What are the areas that the new constitution must tackle? One of the primary concerns seems to be the conflicts within the student body. The relationships between the dormitory students and the commuter students has prevented the present system from welding the campus into a united group. A new student government must have the ability and the power to unite the student body. The controversy has already created a division of opinion as to the rationality of splitting the representation to the convention into dorm students and day students. The constitution must solve this problem before it can deal with the other problems facing the student body. The convention must also tackle the problems that exist in communicating with the administration . The students air their concerns and the administration offers to discuss them. No vehicle exists, however, that can provide an official forum for the two groups to meet. The present constitution has no organization that can meet with the administration or the faculty to exchange information on academic and extra-curricular developments. The problem of finance must also be discussed. A student government should have the power to control the budgets of student activities to assure that this money is spent within a framework compatible with the goals of the student body. The student government must begin to coordinate efforts within student organizations which cause overlapping and result in mediocrity. We have a plethora of organizations offering lectures, films, and concerts which are often in competition with each other. The student elections system should also be studied to provide an equitable system of representation . Are the present representative of the interests which exist in the College? Systems used at other colleges develop a party system, a system of representation with academic disciplines, or a system which represents the activities undertaken by the students. The role of the student judiciary needs definition to insure a constant performance by the student government. The problems facing the convention are numerous, but the student government has thrown down the gauntlet. Will the student body accept the challenge? . \Nhat- lNhere- lNhen DANCE - TOR-Gym - Tonight, 9 p.m. DORM PARTY - IDC- Rec Room - New Men's Dorm - Tomorrow, 9 p.m. SENIOR ART EXHIBIT-Nancy Wiltshire & Phyllis Lukas- November 19-27, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. SENIOR CLASS LECTURE SERIES- CPA- November 20, 7:30 p.m. ELECTIONS FOR SG CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION - Commons - November 20 FRESHMAN REGISTRATION - November 21-22 THANKSGIVING RECESS - November 22-27 ALL COLLEGE DANCE - SG - Gym - "The Nightwatch" - November 25, 9 p.m. FIRST MEETING OF CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION - SG - Gym - November 30, 11 a.m. THE BEACON Editor-in-Chief . . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . . ..

SUBSCRIPTION : $3.00 PER YEAR Dear Editor: Having listened to the speech by the Israeli Consul General last week, I could not help noticing the factors that perpetuate the Mid-East problem. Indeed the whole problem lies in misrepresented, misconceived, and, at times, outright distorted historical facts. vain pride and empty arrogance. The Zionists, according to the Consul General, have the right of a home in Israel because of history and prophetic predictions (which might have been pronounced by daydreamers and people who wanted to create a name to themselves, to start with!) On the other hand the Arabs say history is on their side, therefore, they do not want to accept that Israel is a nation. However, there is little one can contest with in the Arab's charge that Israel was created by power politics against the will of the people of the Mid-East except the six hundred thousand Jews living there. The desire of the world to find a special place for the Jews where they can form a nation is not understandable ( and I refute the verdict that it is because some supernatural power dictated!) If the Jews cannot live with other people of the world then there must be something wrong with either the world or the Jews or both. That Israel ever existed as a nation, in the long history of the world. prior to 1948 is an illusion which most thinking people except the Zionists find ridiculous. Even if it had. I cannot see any particular rationale in thinking that af- Colonels lauded ter ten centuries of non-ex istence an Israeli nation should be created. On the Arab side I fail to find concrete historical facts I can show as justifkation for their refusal to accept a nation once established. Their claims, I find, are illusive, if anything. The tree of Zionism has been watered by actions of people like Disraeli, Balfour and the present world leaders. Why did Disraeli ask Queen Victoria for a special place for the Jews? The Queen suggested Kenya to which the prime minister refused. The Mid-East problem will never be solved by frenzied statements and illusive justifications on either side. Neither will conquest do. These measures just perpetuate it. The problems require warm hearts and cool heads which both the Zionists and the Arabs lack. Both sides may claim their actions are based on historical vindication, but the ironies of life are such that apparent bases of justiflcation have become curses. And history has a tendency of favoring the wicked. So the Arab-Israeli problem must be approached with manly foresight and rational judgements. Unthoughtful and spiteful statements and actions in the roster of the UN. in the halls of colleges. or in the streets and state houses in Tel-Aviv or Cairo by supposedly responsible leaders are no solutions. Otherwise we are in for a very long brawl in the Mid-East and I can only look with apprehension that the worst is yet to come. Cyprian Kwilimbe To the 1967 Championship Football Team : On behalf of the Athletic Department, I would like to publicly congratulate you on your outstanding season. We are proud of your winning the championship again, but we are even more proud of the way you won it. Winning is never worthwhile unless something nobler and finer is behind it. The spirit, sportsmanship. attitude, and pride you displayed throughout the season certainly indicated to everyone concerned that you have these qualities behind you. (From what I hear, they may even be heavenly! As you know, that is an inside joke!) The manner in which you won and the way you handled yourself during the season was most commendable. The respect that you gained for and from the students, the faculty, and the community can never be measured, but it will be the greatest award you can ever receive. Being proud and holding our heads high is a wonderful feeling - a feeling that you have and all of us at Wilkes should have. Your efforts, as a football team and most importantly as fine young men. are living proof of what can be done when someone believes in what he is fighting or playing for, whether it be for his school or his country. Again. congratulations for a job well done! John Reese Athletic Director Hearts 'n flowers ' n eggs Dear Editor: In an historic display of patriotism backed by the expediency of our benevolent police force, another of our democratic principles has been vandalized by those who hide their aggressions behind the mask of the "Great Society." We are not stating that our American society is not great, but when a peaceful show of dissent cannot be voiced and becomes the victim of the "well informed" public, the right of free speech becomes a mockery. The stated objective of the rally last Thursday evening on Public Square was simply to support our men in Vietnam. Those who were dissenting held signs which read: " We support our men in Vietnam, bring them back alive. " From the fervor that was evident by the eggs and insults hurled, we .c an safely say that the conservatives connotated that the protestors obviously held opinions in opposition to the present U.S. policy in Vietnam, therefore were considered to be professing anti-American attitudes, and as a relevant conclusion, were justly identified as "dirty Communists." Because of the presence of a few longhaired demonstrators the entire group was also branded a bunch of grubby Hippies ( everyone knows that there is nothing worse than a CommunistHippie) - just another example of the A 1teed (,,. di1Ll,9ue D ear Sir: I would like to comment on the letter (Beacon. Nov. 3) from Zig Pines, Sophomore Class President. Although I did not formulate the ideas therein, the letter was sent with my full knowledge and consent. Rather than a rubber stamp program concerned with trivia, the leaders of the sophomore class have chosen to undertake a program which will deal with areas of concern to them as students of Wilkes College and as citizens of society. This concern is a healthy sign of a maturing student body. Dr. Farley speaking for the administration (Beacon, Nov. 10) invited discussion on issues. I hope that this will be the beginning of a fruitful dialogue. Sincerely, Thomas J. Mizianty Sophomore Class Adviser hasty generalizations which characterize the misconceptions of mob behavior. But what is the constitution of a mob? The mob is usually led by those who are impotent in achieving recognition under ordinary circumstances. Those who blindly follow these demagogical leaders are mindless sheep who express their unfulfilled tensions and aggressions through the displacement of their frustrations on an innocent though socially acceptable scapegoat. It is interesting to note, that one of the mob 's leading protagonists quite obtrusively displayed a " Get out of Vietnam" poster, all semester, up until the evening of the rally when it Lost in the Stars to he presented by Cookie Melnyk The hauntingly beautiful musical, "Lost in the Stars," featuring the Kaleidoscope Players, will be presented for one performance on Thursday at 8 p.m., November 30, at the Center for the Performing Arts. This Kurt Weill-Maxwell Anderson play , said to be "one of the most alive, moving, and beautiful of all musical dramatic pieces," is the second program to be offered by the Concert and Lecture Series at the College this year. Admission is free. Special lighting effects will highlight the beauty and drama of the story. Stage scenery and props will be minimized with concentration on the unusual lighting effects. The play also features an on-stage piano accompaniment and an outstanding choral ensemble. The Kaleidoscope Players, who have produced, adapted, and staged " Lost in the Stars," is a group of ten leading American singer-actors, including Levern Hutcherson and Lucia Hawkins, stars of the musical. Both Hutcherson and Miss Hawkins have had leading roles in "Porgy and Bess" and "Carmen Jones," before joining the Kaleidoscope players. This musical, based on the best-selling novel by Alan Paton, depicts the search of a South African minister for his wayward son. Leslie Adams is the musical director. was noted that its presence was mysteriously absent from his room. And what about our basic American rights? Are the rights to question and protest really existent, or just beautiful eulogisms on ancient parchment? Dem ocracy as a political institution is founded on the premise that there be contending parties or sides to every question. When an orderly dissent is the target for malicious aggression, the basic right to dissent is descrated, and the principles that we are supposedly lighting to institute and maintain in Southeast Asia are being violated at home. We may conclude by offering the following ; "The measure of our falling short is the measure of the patriots duty to dissent. " (J. William Fulbright) . Dennis A . Jones Thomas R. Moretta Dear Editor: The students of the New Men 's Dorm should be congratulated for their tremendous showing in the prowar demonstration. last night. It seems unfortunate that most of them left before the speeches started, but they were busy chasing the "hippies." After all, what right do the hippies have to their opinion, if it doesn 't agree with ours. Those fools don't know what's good for them . They are just lucky that they are not living in a communist country where they would be persecuted for their views (or are they?).

From the outset, it was troubled by Anancial problems, and the association survived only because it allied itself with 20 other student groups to form the International Student Conference. The purpose of the conference was to provide a counterweight for the powerful Communist-oriented International Union of Students. By 1952, the Central Intelligence Agency secretly was providing eighty per cent of the funds of the NSA. The problem of the morality of the NSA's secretly accepting funds came to the surface in February of this year when Ramparts magazine disclosed to the public that the NSA was financially dependent on the CIA. Past NSA officers were involved in the controversy because they all had to pledge secrecy about the CIA's support when they had assumed their offices. The NSA was dealt a death blow by the disclosure, for the immediate reaction of the public was that the organization must have been actively involved in the activities of the CIA. Although thas has not ever been proved. or even fairly well indicated, the issue of the betrayal o f the student's trust was a valid one. The result was that the association lost much of the respectability that it had previously gained. The National Student Association continued for the next fourteen years, growing in its effectiveness as a vehicle for protesting lack of academic and student freedom . During those same years. however, the NSA's role as an example of the democratic process was reduced as the Communist In August, 1967, 1,300 delegates of .studt'nt o rna nizations lost much of the NSA met in College Park, Marytheir power. land, for the twentieth annual congress By the 1960 's, the NSA had almost of the association.

Janoski ,·xhibited a large number of his works and his taste and craftsmanship Auct11ate with each other. In the opinion of this reviewer. his ti ssue and acrylic collages are his most successful pieces. " Johanna," a favor ite of the artist, is a vibrant collage utilizing the interaction of various colored tissue paper. On the other hand, "Memory" uses the same medium to achieve a subtle interplay of color and design to create an excellent work. However, I feel that " ... 1947" and "It's Nice but I Don 't Like the Blue" are of a quality less than that of Jan oski's recent works. They do serve to illustrate his growth. On the whole, Janoski's exhibit shows enormous growth. The artist is searching for new areas of design to express his ever-fluctuating philosophy of art. Next week, Nancy Wiltshire and Phyllis Lukas pool their efforts to produce the first combined Senior Art Exhibit this year. Miss Lukas, who was the supervisor of arts and crafts for the Wilkes-Barre City playgrounds this summer, is a city resident. Miss Wiltshire. from Madison, New Jersey. serves as vice president and acting president of the Art Club on campus. The flavor of the show is contemporary. While the emphasis is on painting (watercolor, acrylic, and oil paint). sculpture. jewelry, and ceramics will also be represented in the show. The congress was. in fa ct. making a half-hearted attempt to "cover un" th e real issue ~ can the organization pull itself together and achieve any sovereignty over the student masses of the United States. Certainly, the scandal of the past year has hurt the organization a great deal, but it seems also that in this decade of the information explosion of electronic media, th e NSA's attempt to represent the students and maintain power over such a diverse group must by its very nature fail. Although the NSA made an attempt to deal with the real issues of student protest in the formulation of its ultimate ineffectiveness; its resolutions cannot be implemented. The NSA must in the end face the impossibility of accomplishing any of the objectives which its member groups embrace. BEACON Puhlicus "Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing." "Where have all the flowers gone? Long time ago-" ( Popular American Song) The Rower children, hippies , are dead. I can't be sad, though - it was inevitable. The hippies are going home, those who still have minds or who never had minds to begin with anyway. Some can never go home because they live in a candy-colored hell all their own that was the logical end to illogical experiments with marijuana ( not really dangerous ), LSD, often more mind decaying than mind expanding, and the latest in-est killer "speed" or "meth, " with which many hippies refuse to have anything to do. Winter is coming and the Rowers are dying. The climate didn 't kill the hippies; America tried to protect them in a hot house of tolerance that stood up to any of the stupidity their fertile little minds could come up with: the flowers contained the seeds of their own destruction. The hippies thought they could live on the work of other people. They could for a tim e. They killed themselves when they began to think that people owed them something merely because they existed. The hippies professed a love for man , yet they hated anyone who differed with them - they found out real love was not a thing people, even hippies, have in unlimited quantities and that it often takes patience, understanding. and even work, to love.

Romney has the advantages of being from the Midwest and being such a middle-of-the-roader that he really bugs absolutely no one. He is at a disadvantage in that no one can really get excited about him; he seems to suffer from hoof-in-mouth disease and his Mormon religion could be a problem at the polls. The Detroit riots could throw voters either way, depending on their mood in November. His big hope is that the country will want a return to "normalcy." Don't count on his nomination. Reagan does not really want to be president, yet. His plans probably call for his being nominated as vice-president this year. He irritates some Eastern liberals but he is almost sure to be favored in the West and the South and those electoral votes are not to be ignored. Resentment of his being a former actor may prove to be a problem but his popularity will assuredly rise above it. Prediction: Ronald Reagan will be the Republican vice-presidential nominee. Rockefeller is a strong Eastern political power: however, his divorce and his 1964 maverick political stand are sure to hurt his chances. He also seems sincere in his refusal to run. Don't count him out: he could be convinced if there is an honest Draft Rocky Movement and the convention gets deadlocked . then he is the man of the hour. Nixon has the loser image . Too bad. He is an able statesman and is very popular with party regulars. The GOP will want a brand new image for 1968 and it is doubtful that he will be nominated.

In 1966, 516 billion cigarettes were sold and in the past fiscal year alone, 525 billion cigarettes have been sold. The Federal Trade Commission and Congress may require tougher wording on packages or ban cigarette advertising altogether. The American College Health Association has requested that colleges bar the sale of cigarettes on the nation 's campuses to discourage smoking among undergraduates. Maybe Dr. Farley has a good idea in not allowing cigarette vending machines on the College campus. What would happen on the College campus if all students were required to wear a uniform to school?

It was pointed out that this would eliminate pressure for grades since there would not be an 89 or 90 to bother people. The one point won 't make much of a difference with the new system and may encourage people to work for knowledge rather than the almighty point. Here at the College it seems as though we are working for the definite grade and not for learning for the sake of learning. Thursday evening, November 9, 1967, an estimated 9,000 persons crowded into Wilkes-Barre's Public Square to express support for our men in Vietnam. Patriotic marches, speeches and songs were provided and a torchlite procession followed. About fifty faculty members and students from area colleges and high schools stood in a group and displayed posters protesting American involvement in -the war. Due to increasing tension and egg-throwing, the fifty were asked to leave "for their own protection," they returned to their campuses for discussions on the war. prise everyone with a dark horse nom ination. Percy may be a personable, young vote-getter, but he is too leftish to be seriously considered and is more than a little inexperienced. Bradley will not run: he has only a foreign policy (no domestic pronouncements. yet) and is not sure if he even wants to be president. He will not be another Eisenhower for the Republicans and his semi-dove views please few. Lindsay will be the Republican nominee. He is the perfect East Coast vote-getter, liberal hut not so liberal as Rocky; he did not rebel against the national party in 1964, and he is not a radical dove. Prediction: Lindsay's wishy-washy foreign attitude will be reconciled to the more hawkish Republicans by a plank stating that If the Republicans win they will have a bombing pause and an attempt to negotiate with anyone. If this fails ( and I doubt, personally, that the Communists will respond) the Republicans will state in their platform that the country will embark on a really ag.gressive war with Hanoi - unlimited bombing and a blockade of Haiphong Harbor. There are two roads to peace, like it or not: a military victory or a negotiated peace. A pull-out will only move the war to a further border. We should learn from Chamberlain that appeasement doesn't work. The Republicans have a good chance for victory in I 968. The odds are probably in their favor.

MILFORD, CONN . iUUJO �Page4 THE BEACON Friday, November 17, 1967 Colonels overpower LV 37-7 by Chuck Lengle The Colonel gridders closed out their second consecutive unbeaten season last Saturday as they trounced the Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley College, 37 -7. This win was the Colonels' eighth straight this season and twenty-first over a three-year period. Incidentally. this is the longest winning streak in Pennsylvania. The victory also enabled the Colonels to repeat for the third time as North ern Division champions of the Middle Atlantic Conference. The first quarter proved to be a disaster and there were considerable doubts of a Colonel victory as the score read 7-6 in favor of LVC. However, the Colonels regrouped and played championship football in the Anal three quarters. Leading the way offensively were Joe Skvarla (84) outstanding Colonel end goes high during second quarter for one backs Roger Beatty, Vince Yarmel, of his seven receptions.

Co-athletes of the week for their performances against Lebanon Valley are offensive guard Joe Roszko and linebacker Jack Jarvela. Jarvela is a senior accounting major from Bedford, Pa. Starting the year at fullback. Coach Rollie Schmidt decided he was a more valuable asset at outside left linebacker. Ever since the switch Jarvela has proven his worth and has teamed with Brinley Varchol. P. J. Kane, and Mike Connolly to form one of the most devastating linebacking corps in the conference. Against Lebanon Valley, Jarvela intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble to stop two Lebanon Valley drives. He was also involved in many tackles. This is Jarvela's fourth year on the football squad, and he will definitely be missed next year.

Zakowski had a banner day as he connected on eight of eleven aerials for 75 yards to give him his best day in three seasons. The Colonels drew Arst blood as Doug Forde took the opening kickoff on the 21-yard line and scampered the remaining 79 yards for the score. Lebanon Valley came back quickly and pushed all the way to the Colonel eight-yard line. On the next play, Bruce Decker, LV quarterback, was smothered on the 23-yard line by the ?ntire Colonel defensive line. Decker quickly redeemed himself when he took the ball down to the one on a quarterback keeper. Decker then unloaded a fourth-down pass to Denny Tulli good for the score. Early in the second stanza the Colonels displayed excellent ball control on an 80-yard sustained drive. Vince Y armel crashed in from the four to give the Wilkesmen the lead they never relinquished. The Dutchman offense was stymied, and on the next Colonel series Bill Staake was called on for a Aeld goal which hiked the score to 16-7.

Keeping my fingers crossed, here's wishing the Vikings all the luck possible in tomorrow's clash . And, last but not least, Haverford College finally lived up to expectations last Saturday (one victory per season) by defeating Ursinus, 20-7. The Fords gained 311 total yards good for 19 Arst downs. Haverford's record now stands at 1-5 while Ursinus' log reads 1-5-1. Wagner maintained its slim lead in the Lambert Bowl b.illoting 78-75, despite their poor showing against Susquehanna. Thus, only a loss to Upsala would take the title from them. w. 8 5 4 5 4 3 3 2 0 by Chuck Len,qle While most of the campus attention has been focused on the Colonel football team and its 20-game winning streak, the College cagers have been putting in long practice sessions under the able tutelage of Coach Ron Rainey.

Herbie displays an excellent jump shot and excellent rebounding is hi s forte. Rounding out the squad and one of the most important members of this year's team is Bo Ryan. Bo will be counted on to take up much of the slack that was created when Reuben Daniels, last year's leading scorer. transferred to Cheyney State. To date, Ryan has exhibited an excellent attitude and will have to lead the team in playmaking as well as contribute a considerable amount of the scoring.

Freshman candidates include : Richie Davis, 6'5" star from Plymouth , who has displayed much ability thus far and should develop into a fine ball player: Rich Delvino, 6'1" forward with a good outside shot and adequate speed : Billy Umbach, a 5'11" product :mt of Phoenixville. who has been impressive in workouts with his fantastic accuracy from all over the court. Jay Reimel and Bill Grick, the Ane backcourt duo from Montrose High School, have displayed unusual ability thus far and both should turn in good seasons, for they are Ane playmakers with excellent shots.

Along the way was dirt and sweat and work and pain. The end was reached only with the help of a few miracles. At the end were 21 straight victories, eight this year. Lebanon Valley College, the last victim, was a fitting climax. The Colonels played a picture game. Many players felt it was the best game the team played (of the 21 victories).

Student Government began the initial phases of Constitutional revision yesterday when members of the Constitutional Convention assembled in the gym. Judy Simonson, chairman, emphasized to the committee members that '"we have to keep in mind the practical problems of the students; we must provide a place for voicing of student opinion, and we must provide a government which will give the students a real experience in government activity." Following her introduction the chairmen: of the three committees were presented: Katie Eastman, chairman of the senate committee; Tom Kelly, chairman of the executive committee: and Carl Siracuse, chairman of the student court committee. Each chairman gave a summary of his respective committee. The committees will meet separately, and attendance will be taken at each meeting. If a delegate is not properly representing his class, then the class has the privilege of replacing him. Each committee will have a secretary to take the minutes of each meeting and post them on the bulletin board at the Commons followi~ each meeting. At the end of the convention the minutes of all of the committees will be bound. Within each committee a two-thirds majority is required to decide a dispute. However, in the con- vention, a required. civil majority will be The tentative date for completion of the Constitution is Friday, March 1.

Implications ol God is Dead bring overwhelming reaction The Death of God Colloquium on Thursday, November 16, in Stark Hall provided a lar.ge crowd of faculty and students with a discussion of the theories and implications of the God is Dead Tlieology. Sponsored by the Department of Philosophy and Religion, the colloquium featured addresses delevered by Dr. Stanko Vujica, Dr. Stanley Kay , Dr. Roy E. Williams and Dr. Abraham Barras. Dr. Vujica, who made the introductory remarks concerning the format of the program. stated after the colloquium that the overwhelming response to this affair assured the holding of at least two more programs of this type before the year's end. In his remarks, Dr. Vujica explained the origins of the God is Dead Theology in Nietzche's Tlie Gay Wisdom. Nietzche stated that "'God is dead. God is dead and we have killed Him. Churches are the tombs and monuments of God." From Nietzche's theories came Dietrich Bonhoffer's concept of '"Religionless Christianity." Bonhoffer's theory was that man has come of age and lives as though God does not exist. Christianity can also function as if God does not exist and religion can be secularized. From these theories and others, Dr. Vujica continued, comes the contemporary Death of God Theology. This new theology has raised questions for the philosopher. Dr. Kay began his address by asking some questions fundamental to the new theology. He stated that the emotional impact of the problem dnrws people to the question and that it seems to reflect a trend in current society. The statement "'God is dead'" presents a logical dilemma, according to Kay, because it combines a physical and metaphysical concept and equates them. This is impossible. The problem facing the philosopher is to define the terms of the proposition and, having done this, to prove their relationships to the society. Dr. Roy E. Williams was the next speaker and outlined the ideas of three contemporary theologians who express divergent aspects of the God is Dead Theology. Paul Van Buren, stated Dr. Williams, has proposed that the word "God"" is either meaningless or mis-leadi~; and the essential meaning of the Christian Gospel can be asserted without the use of the term '"God." The second contemporary theologian discussed by Dr. Williams was William Hamilton. ""For Hamilton, God is dead as need-fulfiller and problemsolver." To Hamilton, God was not necessary as a problem-solver; but, it is still possible to be a Christian. For Thomas Altizer, the last of the contemporary theologians considered by Dr. Williams, '"God killed Himself for us. He so totally poured Himself into creaturely existence that He ceases to have any independent life of His own;" to Altizer, God is dead but Jesus lives. Recalling some of the questions raised by Dr. Kay, Dr. Williams feels that the ··central affirmation of the death of God comes perilously near to being sheer absurdity and contradiction." To talk about the death of God is to presuppose knowledge about the ""heart of the Eternal" and to contradict and offend the very basis of rational thought. Concluding the program after a question and answer period, Dr. Bar• ras summarized the discussion and added his analysis of the Death of God Theology. The new theology, In his explanation represents a concept as revolutionary as the concept of the theologians who first proposed that the Bible is not to be interpreted literally. �Page 2 THE ~dit,,-iol Friday, December 1, 1967 Letters lo the Editor Me, me, me, me, me How can it be possible for you - a Wilkes College student - to spend sixteen of your better years of life in an educational environment and never once have to think? How do you look at yourself in the mirror at night knowing that you have passed another day in complete sterility? How can you hope to function, let alone survive, in today's complex society when you have spent sixteen years regurgitating only that information hurriedly memorized the night before an examination? How, dear student, do you plan to spend the remaining years of your life . .. in a framework of complete boredom, anti -intellectual activity, and total uninvolvement? If your present status is any indication of your future activity, you will die never having done anything for anyone but yourself. You, dear student, are selfish! Some of you will graduate with honors: Cum-, Summa-, or Magna Cum Laude; others will receive cash prizes for outstanding academic work; several of you will be named to "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities;" and many more of you receive a letter at the end of each semester complimenting you on your ability to master the system and attain the rank of Dean's List. But how few of you really deserve these honors; your sole purpose is to strip from the college, from your professors, from the books and articles you scan only that knowledge which will give you a high mark, throwing the balance away as waste material. Can you really be so insensible to believe that information that gives you high marks is the only worthwhile aspect of college? A great many of you will spend a great number of hours running up and down a football field, a basketball court, or lying on your back during the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling," etc. For this exercise, you will be awarded a pretty letter (W), a goldplated trophy, and a piece of paper to hang over your television set at home, plus a great many aches and pains. And, yet, very few of you are willing to give to others a fraction of the time the rest of us spend yelling and screaming encouragement for your success. Does your P-R-1-D-E extend to only your own selfish interests? Some of you are listed on the membership rolls of one of the more than thirty-five clubs on campus, the Council of Club Presidents, the Inter-Dormitory Council, or, maybe, even Student Government. Most of you who join need this membership to maintain your scholarship; how easily you forget the resopnsibilities after the first meeting of the year. A few of you spend several weeks each year telling the rest of us how you're going to change things around here . .. and get elected to Student Government, not because the rest of us really believe you but, simply, because we don't care. On two recent occasions, dear students, you ably conformed to your true colors. After years of gripes and groans over the assembly programs, less than two hundred of you bothered to attend the concert by the Philadelphia Piano Trio on Thursday evening, November 16. And, on Monday, November 20, while most of you spent the day cemented to your chairs in the cafeteria or frantically copying every word spit out of your professors' mouths, about one-fourth of your fellow-students took the time to elect forty members to the Student Constitution Revision Committee. To be sure, it is surprising that five hundred of you could take the time from your other pursuits to cast your ballots. But, where were the vast majority of you; where were you - the honor students, the letter-wearing sport buffs, the scholarship-minded club members, and the status seekers in common? Does your selfishness to yourself and to the rest of us mean that you don't care who governs student affairs? The Student Constitution Revision Committee has been charged with the responsibility of creating out of nothing a viable body of laws for your college interests, dear student. Yet, you have definitely indicated time and time again that you don't really care what this committee does so long as your own narrow interests remain undisturbed. BEACON Dear Editor: For the first time since my entrance into this college two years ago, I have witnessed active student concern on a major national issue. This, in itself, I And enlightening, however, the path which this concern took last Thursday (Nov. 9) evening certainly must be looked upon as frightening. The occurrence to which I refer being the opposition (by the fired up students and townspeople) to the peace advocates who silently expressed their feelings on public square in what almost broke into uncontrollable mayhem at the pro war rally. The supporters spout about American patriotism yet they attempt vengence against those who dissent the present American policy in Vietnam while freedom to dissent and speak out are basic constitutional rights. This is their patriotism? They talk of friends , brothers, and others fighting or dead in Vietnam. Does that form an adequate justifi cation for continued United States involvement? Should we just for.get that the Vietnamese people, even in• nocent women and children, are being slaughtered in far greater numbers in their own country as a result of our insistence to protect our interests there? Shouldn"t we first examine the history of our involvement for justification rather than simply say we should fight for the men lost whether they were right or wrong in the first place? They say we were asked by the South Vietnamese government but is that government representative of the people. They again say, yes, yet approximately 96,000 men deserted the South Vietnamese armed forces last year and 273,000 South Vietnamese have joined the Viet Cong since 1960 ( U . S . Defense Dept. Statistics) . Where is their basis of the desire of the people for our military aid? When I asked many why they turned out and so vehemently against the peace advocates. there emerged a wide range of replies from adversity to long hair and hippies ( a minority of the .g roup) to the need for protection of our prestige abroad. Many were actually quite unsure of what should be done but still turned out in support of those who were in favor of continued U.S. involvement. But even on the minority peace side there were many unsure of why or not understanding many of the issues. The student interest was certainly encouraging but to see it take such a positive vehement form while such great shrouds of doubt and uncertainity remain seems to offset the benefits that should be reaped from such interest. I do hope, however, that these seeds of interest will now continue and redirect themselves along more purposive lines. I would like to see the formation of a forum for responsible examination. understanding, and di scussion of the Vietnamese crisis. This should be composed of all interested members of the student body and on a bi-partisan basis. This group should take into its responsibility the attraction of national personalities to our College as speakers on the subject. As the problem at Wilkes seems to be evolving apathy to understanding or lack of it, I look forward to seeing serious interest generated by both interested sides with central coordination and cooperation. If you were so' anxious to speak out on the square, I hope you will also be ready to turn out in support of such a student committee as discussed here. Steve Kaplan Class of '69 College students for the colloquium on the "God is Dead" theology should prove to those dubious faculty and administration members that intellectual curiosity does exist on this college campus. If given the correct contemporary topics, we, the student body, will make apathy a thing of the past for this college. Respectfully, Ina E. George Dear Editor: Dear Editor: I would like to comment on the old colloquialism, "all talk and no action." Frequently, faculty members are heard bemoaning the lack of cultural interest demonstrated within the student body. We, the students, bear through their vigorous exhortations and, from time to time, even act upon their advice. However, a horrifically meager percentage of our stalwart faculty and administration members frequent such cult,ural campus activities as music recitals, art exhibits, and Cue and Curtain productions. This show of indifference by the faculty is hardly an inducement to the student body. I submit that increased faculty participation in all college functions is prerequisite to student involvement in the college and the community. Sincerely, Linda Snowe Reference was made in last week's Beacon (heard from the herd) to the change in grading at Yale University. I wonder if the student will be under any less pressure to achieve a pass versus high pass versus honors than he would be to achieve an A, B, C, or a 90, 80, or 70; or a 4, 3, 2, I. As long as an evaluation is required, there will be distinctions made which will never be completely pleasing to the one being graded. I might call attention to the fact that the grading system at Wilkes College is not a percentage grading system or a superior, above-average, average, but rather is intended to evaluate quality of performance intended to encourage working for knowledge rather than for the grade. Whenever accomplishment is to be measured, there will be areas of ambiguity since it requires one human being evaluating another. It is almost impossible to clearly measure what constitutes educational p r o g r e s s . Knowledge can be measured but understanding and wisdom cannot be measured. Knowledge is an essential goal of education, however, it is but one step toward understanding and wisdom. When one considers creativity , it becomes obvious that evaluation must be a subjective thing and the faculty member must exercise and re ly upon personal judgement. Such devices as graduate record examinations, medical aptitude tests. law aptitude tests, ad infinitum, are designed to minimize grading differences between institutions and test for the level of knowledge achieved by a student as an individual. Unfortunately , we know. too, the pitfalls of mass testing and the possible dangers of a stereotyped educational system that would teach for tests rather than teach with a view to developing a thoughtful, mature individual capable of exercising the judgments throughout his life that will determine not only his own future but the future of our society and its structures. The real danger in any evaluation of educational practice is the hasty, over-simplification of these problems. They have been, and probably will forever be, subjects of discussion for faculty, administrators, and students as long as education exists. Thank you, Sincerely yours, Francis J.

Everhart Museum , Scranton, was the setting recently for the semi-annual showing of jewelry accepted in national competition for "American Jewelry Today." The aim of the exhibit, according to Carl E . Ellis, cura tor of art at the museum, was to encourage the best in contemporary jewelry de sign and craftsmanship. A secondary aim was also to stimulate the purchase and use of such jewelry by the public. Traditionally the Museum Award and th e four Good Design Awards have been given on the basis of individual pieces, but this year 's juror. Mr. Olaf G. Skoogfors, felt that these awards should be made to the craftsmen concerned since each of their entries was of superior quality. Skoogfors is assistant professor of Philadelphia College of Art, and he is an internationally known creative jeweler. Albert R. Paley . Jr., of Philadelphia, received the $100 Museum Award for a most unusually designed pendant. His overall treatment of th e piece tended toward a mechanistic and geometrical design. The four Good Design Awards went to Heikki Seppa of St. Louis, Missouri, for his pierced pin which combined gold and quartz crystal : Stanley Lechtzin of Philadelphia for his unique utilization of silgilt electroformed with amethyst crystal and pearls: Ken Cory of Pullman, Washington, for creatively designed pin of silver, leather and stone; and Velma Dozier of Dallas, Texas, for her treatment of a necklace of gold and pre-Columbian shell beads. During the month-long exhibit, several groups of students from Mr. Anthony Evan.gelista's art classes toured the show and gleaned much from the experience. It is an unusual opportunity for the students of the College to have a national art competition held in the immediate area. In all probability the show was the first national exposure which the 101 and non-art majors had received. " American Jewelry Today" was a good indication of American jewelry tomorrow. The results of contemporary influences were obvious everywhere. Most pieces tend to show me chanical. electrical and geometrical ideas. The a ge of the computer has arrived in jewelry as well. There was little in the show that related to na ture, but perhaps this is an indication of the nature of nature in our age.

Why is the dollar going down the drain 7 An exaggeration, you say? Not really. It may survive the Gallic goldbuy ing spree, but then they may pull the same garbage next year and the year after that and ... . The reason our dollar is even susceptible to this international blackmail i, that we are spending money we don 't have and do not plan on .getting in the foreseeable future. Just some mo re of Lyndon's clear-headed thinking . Of course, a great country like ours could never go broke, could it? Well, once upon a time, kiddies, Great Britain was a great world power, too. They blew the whole deal when they starred myriads of socialist aid and welfare programs that their Intellectual Community was wild about at th e time. Of course, good old Yankee pragmatism would protect us if it were in our power and could do so, but it is not and cannot. Our own "Intellectuals" are in command of much of our money and are all hot over " Wars on ... " and "Operations" and other things that they can point to with pride because they are great from an idealistic standpoint. Unfortunately , when these programs begin to descend to local levels and actual contact with the i::eople they are to aid , they descend in idealism and in honesty, too. All it takes to become an nccutive and resid~t expert on poverty is a membership in the Democratic Party and an in with some influential ward heeler. Our welfare program is an exa mple of how a .good intention can go astray , for it is one of the few government programs that I can think of off-hand that encourages a husband to leave home. It does this because the family can make more money from welfare checks if the father deserts it. It is probable that many husbands, unable to find jobs, have "deserted" their wives after discussing financial matters with them and finding out that he becomes a better father in his absence. acco rding to law.

At first the committee exhibits the prejudices indicative of the backgrounds of its membership, but soon it decides upon an objective analysis of the situation and the result is despair. Try as It may, the committee can find no substitute for war to create a thriving society. Peace in its opinion is a utopian objective too costly an ideal for responsible men to think about . "Lasting peace, while not theoretically impossible, is probably unattaina ble; even if it could be achieved it would almost certainly not be in the best interests of a stable society to achieve it. " Leonard C. Lewin, which may be a pseudonym for John Kenneth Galbraith , William Buckley, Jr, (by his own admission) , or the real author of the book, uses these words to describe the conclusions of a highly secret. extremely prestigious, and wholly fictitious presidential study group. This .group, composed of social scientists, natural scientists, an industrialist, and a literary critic, is the subject of this new bombshell and cause celebre of the literary world. From a condensed version in this month 's Esquire (the book is not yet available in "happy valley"), a yuletide tale of depression and war on earth, ill-will toward men is woven in prosaic committee writ. The tale begins in 1963 when the President called together a special committee to study the consequences to the national environment caused by the settlement of the Cuban missile affair and the big changes being planned in military spending which would close plants, force relocations, and so forth. The question to which this austere The thesis of Lewin's book gives some plausible insight into the evils of our bureaucratic military industrial complex. The expense of maintenance of the military provides the easiest outlet for the country's surplus resources. Even if the Vietnam War should end, the ballistic missile race will supply the need for massive spendings of money and manpower. The plan of the (late) Robert McNamara for an anti-ballistic system can be extrapolated into an infinite system of anti-anti-anti-systems which will devour the Great Society and make us live the life of the Spartans after the Messinian revolts. This altruistic society which has such a high regard for the problems of poverty, the pollution of the physical environment, and civil rights, cannot afford to concentrate its resources on these problems but finds it ignominiously easy to find its way into every possible military conflict.

Coach John Reese is pleased with the grapple rs ' efforts thus far but is very cautious when discussing any expectations for the upcoming season. Last year Coach Reese was besieged with problems such as Al Arnould entering the service after the first semester, Fran Olexy 's untimely injury, and the slow recovery of Joe Kiefer's soccer ailments.

Nine lettermen, headed by five MAC place winners, will lead the 30man team into its practice meet this afternoon with the United States Military Academy at West Point. The Colonels traveled to Princeton prior to Thanksgiving vacation and word has it they represented themselves well in a successful scrimmage. Heading the list of lettermen are : co-captain and senior Fran Olexy, w ho competed in both the 177-pound class and the heavyweight division last year. Olexy filled in at heavyweight when Arnould entered the service, won five of six matches, often spotting his opponents 50 pounds or more. Senior Dick Cook, who reigned as MAC champion in the 167-pound class and finished fourth in the Small College Nationals, will serve as the other co-captain. Joe Wiendl, MAC champ at 160 pounds and second in the Small College Nationals, is out for the mat sport again with high expectations to better his record from last year. Senior Barry Gold, MAC runner-up at 177 pounds and sixth in the Small College Nationals, is preparing for his final year of varsity competition. Sophomore John Marfia, who took a third in the MAC at 123: Andy Matviak, who wrestled at 115 and 123 last year; junior Galen Cruse, who wrestled at 137 and 145: senior Joe Kiefer, who also wrestled at 137 and 145: and junior Doug Forde, at 152, round out the contingent of lettermcn. Reese expects the heavyweight class to be bolstered by the presence of Jack Williams, a junior who transferred from the University of Pittsburgh. Williams, who finished second in Eastern Inter-collegiate competition while at Pitt, was forced to sit out last season. Candidates with a lot of potential are Billy Harris, a sophomore who will be eligible in the second semester and will compete at either 123 or 130: a nd Ken H ynes, a freshman, at 123, winner of the Hooper Award for outstanding local high school wrestler. Both are products of Mey ers H igh School. F reshmen out for th e winter sport are: Dennis Vezzera, 145, Baldwin . Long Island ; Larry Phelps, 130, and D an Gennet, 167, both of Binghamton. New York ; Gary Willets, 152, Flanders, New Jersey; Richard Ceccoli, 145, Forty Fort; Richard Barrows, 167, Levittown, Pennsylvania ; and Ron F ritts, 177, Erie, Pennsylvania. Upperclassmen expected to battle it out for the squad include : Bill Staake, sophomore, 145; Don Brugel, sophomore, heavyweight ; Ralph Devane, 177, sophomore ; Steve Foglio, sophomore, 137; Bob Conologue, sophomore, 167: Joe Thunell, sophomore, 145; and Harry Cooper, sophomore, 160. Brinley Varchol has been appointed as the acting freshman coach. Varchol has been a member of the team for three years and he is no stranger to the mats. Four new opponents have been added to the schedule, .giving the Colonels 15 dual meets. The Colonels will host Appalachian State University of Boone, North Carolina, on D ecember 12. Appalachian State is recognized as one of the better wrestling schools in the South and will wrestle Bloomsburg State and Lycoming the same week it battles the Colonels. Kutztown has also been added this year and will travel here for a match on December 14. Other newcomers are the University of Connecticut and the University of Massachusetts. The Colonels will take on these New England teams back-toback the weekend of February 16 and 17. UCon will provide the opposition on Friday evening, and Saturday afternoon the Colonel grapplers take on UMass. The home opener this year will take place on December 12 with Appalachian State. Pitser Soirs, Coup DeGross team supreme with Denbeigh Pitser S oirs and Coup D eGrass ( w ith apo/of.1ies to " Car and Driver" ) I .guess a ll you car enthusiasts have heard our names. We 're the famou s rally team of Soirs and DeGrass, the noted Swedish driver Pitser, and Coup, my French navigator (better known by his nicknam e " Chicken" Coup) . We're the same team that entered the East African Safari Rall y and handed our manufacturer sponsor his first loss in class racing since 1932. Yes, strange as it may seem, o ur Denbeigh lost the Safari that year. The news came as such a shock to th e Earl of Denbeigh that he almost succumbed were it not for the ministrations of his faithful physicians, who injected carrot juice and Schweppes Bitter Lemon directly into his blood stream, the Grand Old Man from the Isle of Aisle might have dropped dead right there on his fabulous hand-sewn throw rug. In spite of this, the competition manager for Denbeigh, "Jolly" Goodwinn Shough, decided to give us one more chance on the factory rally team. Strange to relate, he didn 't seem too concerned over the Earl's recent illness even though he would have been forced to take over the company had the old boy shuffled off his mortal coil. We were notified of his decision <.>arly in November and were presented with a brand new, specially prepared, competition Denbeigh, for entrance in th e hotly contested, under one liter, Grand Touring, Modified Class. This one was set up for European style rallying; its engine was derived from the famous sleeve-valve, T-head, 1066 cc 4-cylinder Super-Chauvinist engine that smashed all records for Class E during the 1932 British Motor Industries Stamina Festival Week runs. Of course it had to be modified slightly to suit our needs - it was destroked to 999.7 cc and had carburetors pilfered from a clapped out Honda 50. These were secured to the block via ram manifolds constructed from garden hose. The special lights were not like ·',ose that appeared on standard rally cars. We used Roy Rog ers flashlights lashed to the front bumpers with bailing wire. (This was because our two amp generator was unable to sustain even our cigarette lighter.) Two weeks later we found ourselves waiting at the airport for ti ckets to Wilkes-Barre to enter the notorious Never Look Back Rally. W e ended up taking a tramp steamer over because four long-haired chaps ahead of us were screaming something about getting ··a ticket for an aeroplane, " and something about not having time "to take a fast train," and we didn 't have time to w ait for that. Arriving at Ertley's used ca r lot, we found th at many students from some institution called Wilkes-on-theSusq uehanna, or something of that nature , were entering the rally . These fell ows seemed intent not on winning but o n imbibing prodigious quantities of Gibbons. Stegmaier and all other manner of delightful brews. W e chortled merrily, knowing that we would have no trouble with these boys, especially since we had 29.5 long-legged horses under the bonnet. The rout instructions were simple to follow and we found ourselves heading into the American equivalent of the outback - I believe it wa~ called Throop. Coup was busy with hi s precision timing equipment, including a sextant and a " tenth of a second" type hour.glass. when all at once he began to gasp at the next average speed we were to maintain - 27.2. That was the top speed of our Denbeigh! We decided to try to win even if it meant putting it to the floor all night. On our travels we came across a chief rival of our Denbeigh , the Amphicar. This one had the letters WNAK embossed on its Ranks and this seemed to indicate that it was a sponsored car set up for the drags. No matter, Coup and I decided to dice it. Both cars reached their top speeds in a matter of minutes but our ability to rev higher (2400 rpm) gave us the victory. We got into many hairy situations on the roads involved in the rally be- cause of the unique handling qualities of the Denbeigh - it is impossible to go in a straight line in the car. However, the 36 turns lock to lock made the car easy to control. After the rally. there was a party where ev eryone sat around drinkin.g Dobre Pivo beer. When the winners were announced we were happy to find tha t we came in forty- seventh out of the 55 entrants, but had won our class. This was the important thing because it gave the Denbeigh Motor Carriage Works .75 points more toward the world manufacturers trophy. There is one interesting note to add after ten or twelve Dobre Pivos (they say " Open other end " on the bottom of their bottles) the Denbeigh seem.~ to handle perfectly. By the way, the Denbeigh Rally Team will enter the " Prestone on Rega rdless Rally " (no kidding . that"s the name) . If you peons want to enter against the "Team Supreme" just get thee hence to Ertley 's used car lot this Saturday. December 2, and enter. Registration fee will be $1.50 for SCCA members and $3 for non-members. There will be a party at the finish . Enter and see if your ca r has enough lachobes to defeat the 29.5 wonder. Captain Jim Smith and Coach Ron Rainey are shown above going over game plans. The Colonels open the season tonight at 8:15 against Elizabethtown. Cagers host Elizabethtown Tonight. the basketball team will open its 21 -game season at the gym , playing host to a tall Elizabethtown squad. The junior varsity will play at 6: 15 p.m. with the varsity contest scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Coach Ron Rainey, in his third year, will be out to make this the best season in recent years. To accomplish this, Rainey will probably begin the season with the following starting lineup: at center, 6'6" sophomore Bob Ockenfuss ; at forwards, 6'3" sophomore Herb Kemp and 6' l" senior Jim Smith; at the guard positions will be Bo Ryan , a 5'11" junior, and freshman Bill Grick. 5'9". All eleven varsity players will see plenty of action. Rounding out the squad are: Dave Peterfreund, 5' 11" junior; Fred Bauer, 6'2" senior; Carl Cook. 6' 1" sophomore ; and freshmen Bill Umback, 6'0", Jay Reimel. 5'11" and Rich Davis, 6'6". against one of the top teams in the MAC. Elizabethtown boasts a 7'0" center and a 6'9" forward. Just for good luck they also ' have a 6'6" forward. The Colonels will be at a tremendous disadvantage and will have to depend on a pressing defense and a fast-breaking offense. Tomorrow night, the Colonels trav el north to Ithaca. The Bombers are always hard to beat on their home court but the Colonels will be out to make it their second victory in a row over Ithaca. Finishing the week, the Colonels will be at home against perennially strong Lycoming. After several outstanding seasons, the Warriors were hard hit by graduation last year. Outstanding this year is senior guard George Young who played high school ball at Ply mouth High School. Chosen unanimously by his teammates as this year"s captain is senior Jim Smith. A resident of Hainna Hall, Smith is a native of Nanticoke where he also starred in basketball. He is a social studies major and plans to teach and coach after graduation. This is his fourth year as a starter, and he should prove to be one of the College·s all -time high scorers. Smith has been second highest scorer for the past three seasons.

Committee chairmen are: Joe Wiendl, tickets; Mike Babuschak, publicity ; and Bruce Comstock, decorations. Fran Ole xy is club president. When asked to comment on tonight's formal , Dean Ralston said: "The Lettermen's Club, as sponsor of this evening once a year, -finances a great portion of the dance and expects no profit. The only benefit sought is the opportunity for students to enjoy a formal dance." Tickets are $2.50 per couple and may be purchased at the Bookstore or from any Letterman. Any Letterman who sold ten or more books of tickets for the Homecoming raffle is entitled to a free ticket. Dialogue provides answers Fraternities, off-campus living, development. tuition, and dormitories were among the topics of a dialogue among Dr. Farley, members of the Administration, and approximately 60 students at a meeting held on Wednesday, November 29. The discussion covered only a portion of the planned agenda in the lengthy meeting, which was organized around the subjects of endowment, faculty, and facilities, but which branched into other areas of the College. The most provocative part of the meeting was a question period follow ing the Administration speakers. One student present asked whether, now that the smaller residences no longer ex ists, will social fraternities now be allowed on campus. ernment and the student tuition, provides the necessary capital for the College. Mr. Mohr and other members of the panel of Administration also revealed some of the building programs to be undertaken in the near future . An addition to the Center for the Performing Arts will be started in 1969 to house the music department. An addition to the New Men 's Dormitory is also planned for the near future as well as another classroom building to increase the space now available at the College. Mr. Mohr concluded with an ex planation and report on the various campaigns to raise money for the new lihrary. general building fund. and other development programs.

Abandonment The growth of the College was discussed. Dr. Farley explained that a new dormitory will be built in conjunction with the old one as soon as property is available. He also stated that the Colle.ge will eventually move from the first block of South River Street, abandoning its property there. This property includes Parrish Hall and several residence halls. Other questions revealed the information that the tuition of the College i~ the second lowest of private colleges in the state and the fact that the College is on a list of the 92 most competitive colleges in the country. Endowment Walter Mohr, director of development. began the meeting by discussing the endowment and finances of the College. He revealed that the present endowment amounts to approximately $3,500,000, which produces an annual income of $150,000. The endowment has been growing steadily since the founding of the College; that amount, added to grants-in-aid from the .gov- Facilities strained Dr. Michelini also pointed out the problems in classroom facilities. The present facilities are being used to approximately 85 per cent of capacity, compared to about 50 per cent capacity in comparable colleges. The College is especially short of larger classroom facilities accommodating students for large lecture classes, the Dean stated. The students were also informed that upon the completion of the new library, Kirby Hall will become the home of the language department. This will provide additional classroom space. The addition to the Center for the Performing Arts will release building facilities now occupied by the music department. Dean Ralston next commented on the growth of dormitory facilities. In 1946 the two dormitories were Butler and Susquehannock, housing 30 men and women. At present there are 709 men and women housed in 21 facilities. There are 18 women 's dormitories, housing 349 women, while the 360 (Continued on page 4) Friday, December 8, 1967 Twenty plan conslilalion Twenty elected delegates to the Constitutional Convention met last Sunday evening to discuss the problems that each of the committees on the senate, executive and student court would have to solve. Judy Simonson began by explaining the present SG convention structure and how because of a lack of people and time nothing can be solved. She pointed out that the 20 members of Student Government meeting once a week cannot even begin to solve college problems under the present constitution. It was pointed out that even by enlarging Student Government . as it exists, it needs a larg er delegation of power to cope with the present situation. The problem of incorporating the honor system into the new constitution was discussed. Most of the delegates felt that the problem would only be passed over lightly in the constitution . The present student government merits were discussed , plus methods for creating greater student involvement in campus affairs. No motions were made at the meeting. Carl Siracuse, chairman of the judiciary formulation committee, stated Seated L. to R.: Katie Eastman, Judy Simonson, Tom Kelly. Standing are Bill Downey and Carl Siracuse. that: "A student court had been provided for under the present constitution, yet never to have been used in my three years at the College, which only proves that a constitution is only a piece of paper unless it is supported and followed.

These are the major conclusion~ concerning the youth in Russia today in an address delivered by Ikar Ivanovich Zavrazhnov on November 29 at the Center for the Performing Arts. Mr. Zavrazhnov, attache from the Soviet Embassy in Washington, was the featured speaker in a lecture presented by the 'Russian Club. A Alm shown in conjunction with the lecture depicted the events that take place at a typical summer camp in Russia. Siberia When asked how the students were placed in jobs after they flnished their education, Mr. Zavrazhnov said that the government places the student in a position. He also added that if the "student does not want that position," he " goes to Siberia for three years." In answer to · the question, "Why was Boris Pasternak's Dr. Zhivago not published in Russia?' ", he stated th at it was not published because of "literary shortcomings." Mr. Zavrazhnov said, "Pasternak failed as an artist." He was then asked about the psychological effects of World War II on Russians. Mr. Zavrazhnov stated, "Since World War II. Russia has become a peace loving nation. " No discrimination He was also asked about discrimination and class distinction in Russia. He said there was none. When asked about the war in Vietnam, Mr. Zavrazhnov stated, "If North Vietnam asks Russia for help, there will probably be a third world war." His lecture outlined contemporary Russian education; the three basic divisions are primary schools, secondary schools and the university. Schools The secondary schools and universities are subdivided into technical and academic branches. At the end of the primary level the student decides whether to pursue an academic or technical curriculum . The academic course leads to the university and the technical provides vocational training. Students in the vocational secondary schools do not go on to college. Those students completing the academic secondary schools take a series IKAR I. ZAVRAZHNOV of tests to determine whether they will further their education at either a university or an institute. Mr. Zavrazhnov said that competition to enter these schools was strong. There are approximately ten students for each position in the universities and institutes. The last year of study consists of writing a research paper called a diploma. This paper is comparable to the thesis written by .graduate students aspiring to obtain their doctorate degree. The student must be able to defend his diploma paper before professors and students. If he fails , he tries again until he passes. �THE Page 2 {dit,,-ial Friday, December 8, 1967 BEACON /.ette,-, tc tAe et/it,,- The Involvement Attempt The recent dialogue between students and Administration, led by Dr. Farley, signals the beginning of sorely needed discussion between the policy-makers and the policy-takers. The discussion provided two hours of conversation clarifying the role of various departments of the Administration and outlining the future development of the College. The question and answer period provided the most provocative moments in the meeting and answered (although not always satisfactorily) questions proposed by the students. More important perhaps, the meeting seemed to have a unifying effect on those members of the student body who had been so long concerned with various areas of the College. This meeting, as well as the activities of the Constitutional Convention has generated a spirit of action in certain elements of the student body. Although it has affected only a few, so far, the enthusiasm is intense and will, perhaps, spread to the students not yet involved . Unfortunately, the meeting has been viewed by some as a fruitless attempt. This is not true. If nothing else, the meeting was informative and served to define opposing viewpoints . The students and Administration were able to test their opinions to determine where agreement is possible. The question of social organizations and possibility of allowing off campus housing were found to be immovable policies of the Administration, subject to no changes. Dr. Farley's emphatic denials of fraternities and students living off-campus indicated firm resolve in these areas. However there still remain other areas where the student's opinion can be exercised to create some productive results . Foremost is the area of new programs being developed by the College. The graduate and research programs require expend itures of large amounts of College resources. What will this expenditure mean to the undergraduate? New residence facilities, and academic facilities will also require vast expenditures and students should assure themselves that these building programs are of highest priority for their educational development. The role of the student in evaluating the faculty and determining new courses offers a fertile field for discovery. Who can better testify to the performance of a faculty member than the student who lives through his courses? Does not a student have a basic idea of what new material will be necessary for him to compete with his society? Where are the academic areas that the student would enioy exploring? The concerns of the Collefe Administration are directlv involved in questions of student discipline in addition to development. Student ability to discipline itself can be demonstr~ted to the Administration through the Student Government. The changes bein ~made there will indicate where the possibilities for administrative changes lie. An active SG is the best method to promote chan ge.

Last week the debate, and the attempt for fruitful dialogue on problems affecting the students at Wilkes College were tried. This three-hour meeting between Dr. Farley and the sophomore class officers took place on November 27. This confrontation has been inevitable since Zig Pines· letter (Nov. 3) brought up some social, academic, and educational problems at Wilkes, namely those concerning registration, the Bookstore, the cafeterias, social restrictions, the grading system and the basic right and fre edom of students to act on problems directly concerning them. This was fol lowed by requests by President F arley (Nov. 10) and Dr. Mizianty (Nov. 17). The Beacon's request (Dec. I) was a bit late. (It's good to be on top of the news!) Unfortunately, the results were as fruitful as a rotten banana from the cafeteria. Dr. Farley 's reply to the sophomore proposals (recently supported by IDC and SG) of students directly participating in their problems (senate consisting of Administration, faculty, and students ) and the others mentioned above showed no real understanding of the problem, responsiveness, and was attacked without concrete reasons by our President. His reply could be put in so many words - IF YOU DON'T LIKE WILKES COLLEGE, LEA VE. This answer was repeated at a meeting between the Administration and student leaders on November 29. I cannot consider this answer very exemplary in responding to questions of such , importance. On the other hand, I feel the proposals need much thinking and a re-examination of these and other problems at Wilkes is in order, involving all fac tions of the community - students, faculty, and Administration. Furthermore we have been "advised " to find a constructive activity (like helping with the United Community Fund Drive) . Unless Wilkes College has ceased to exist for its students, I feel we have one. Let it be known that we will not give up in our attempt and we feel by working cooperatively with Student Government and IDC we will succeed . Respectf~lly yours, Odey Raviv Sophomore Class Treasurer Journalis1T1 Criticized Dear Editor: As a student of Wilkes College and president of a campus organization I feel it necessary to comment upon the irresponsible "journalism" represented by last week "s Beacon, and other Beacon issues of this year. The irrational. petty outburst of anger that was last week's editorial was an insult to every student at Wilkes. To label students " selfish" and "sterile" because their zeal for campus politics does not equal their zeal for scholarship, athletics, and matters of their personal lives and careers reveals a confusion of priorities and a narrowness of mind on the part of the Editor. Rather than hurl insults at the student body , the Beacon might better investig ate the sterility of campus politics as the cause of apath y toward it. Rather than deal in pettiness and triteness, the Beacon might better explore the questions of importance. A diatribe of insult is more likely to generate student antagonism than student enthusiasm. Scholars, athletes, club members, and student government members, all of whom were belittled by th at article have reason to be resent- necessary to belittle the Governor of Texas and the Senator from New York. Nor is it necessary to preach to the "selfish" students of Wilkes. ful. It alarms me to think that Wilkes students are capable of the writing which was exemplified in the above cited articles. The Beacon has done better, and Wilkes students can do better. Perhaps new criteria and new methods of selection are needed for securing the Beacon chiefs. Perhaps the remedies lie elsewhere. But, articles such as appeared in last week's paper and have been appearing with reg ularity in the Beacon are a credit to no one. Logical, thoughtful analysis and criticism - not childish name calling! A college newspaper should be so much more. Publicus Bitter The article headed "Publicus" was in keeping with the tone set by the editorial. Bitterness and ignorance provided its theme - a theme incoherently expressed at that. The author clearly has no understanding whatever of the international position of the dollar, government welfare programs, Gov. Connelly's (sic) background, or any of the other topics he managed to include in his tirade. His expressed hostility for our "intellectuals" is understandable. Clearly, he is not one. Intelli11ent comment is sorely needed, but Wilkes students do not have to be addressed as "kiddies," as they were in the "Publicus" article. Nor is it New Selection Needed Sincerely.

The administration, by the very nature of its attempts to tell us it is not widening, widens it. The aristocratic oligarchy imposed upon South Vietnam by the United States is far from the government best suited for a simple and starving people. The Domino theory. Korea, Dominican Republic, Cuba. Iraq, and Hungary are a paradox for those who contend that communism is not an imperialistic form of government. The western mind and the oriental mind are parallel. They do not meet.

They are many and hard for the Westerner to comprehend. I only offer what I have seen as best as I can express it. I think, from what I have seen, that their philosophies toward life are basically what may be described by the Turkish concept of kismet and the Wilkes College concept of apathy. There are, of course, Genghis Khans and Tojos, but these are exceptions. Japan was only recently a great empire. Until one clear, cool morning in August.

SUBSCRIPTI O N: $3.00 PER YEAR THE BEACON �THE Friday, December 8, 1967 BEAC<:>N Faculty grants permit research in new fields Dr. Stanley J. Holden Editor's note: This is the first in a series of articles involving the various research projects undertaken at the College. This article attempts to give a broad outline of the research program, its objectives, and its topics. Future articles will explore single aspects of the program and their relationship to the College. by Marion Melnyk The science departments of the Collc.ge have been actively engaged in various research projects, according to Dr. S. J. Holden, coordinator of scientifk research. These projects are supported by a number of federal and non -federal grants. Every member of the physics, chemistry, and biology departments is or has recently been engaged in some sort of research. The physics department is exploring such fields as atmospheric physin, cosmology, solid-state physics, and nuclear physics. Dr. F . J. Donahoe, chairman of the department, has recently done research on the origin of the moon -earth system. It is enumerated in his publication "'On the Abundance of Earth-like Planets." Dr. Holden's research is investigating intcrnal friction in solids which is an indication of the defects in solids. Effects of tidal winds is the subject of Dr. Alvan Bruch "s research entitled '"Diurnal Wind Variations in the Stratosphere." Dr. F . E . Bellas, who has published many papers on acousti cs, is now working on a proposal on the quantum mechanics of surface properties. Research in the chemistry department involves a number of areas, including photochemistry, organic chemistry, and radiation chemistry. Dr. R. B. Rozelle, department chairman, who has done work with fuel cells and electro-chemistry. is now doing research in the field of acid-mine drainage which has been creating a substantial problem in the pollution of the Susquehanna River. Dr. J. N . Labows, Dr. W.R. Stine, and Dr. 0 . D. Faut are all involved in various chemical investigations Action group by Bonnie Gellas A special committee, the Student Action Committee, was set up under Zig Pines at the last SG meeting. This new committee will be concerned with academic freedom on campus. It evolved through a letter from Pines which appeared in the Beacon dealing with such problems as the Bookstore, a varied grading system, social restrictions, cuts, and knowing the teachers before registration. The purpose of the new committee, stated the sophomore class president, will be to exert pressure on various se.gments on campus to make SG more meaningful. Pines proposed a tri-partite system consisting of students, faculty, and Administration to work with SG to make it more effective. However, this idea was not feasible so the committee will be directly related to SG and reports of any action will be made at SG meetings. The basic committee will be composed of Pines and the sophomore representatives to SG. Anyone wishing to work on this committee is encouraged to contact Pines. Bill Downey, vice-president of IDC, then made a formal apology to SG for having scheduled a dance for December 2 without having it approved while Dr. J. J. Bohning is engaged in photo-chemical research. Dr. H . A . Swain, Jr., also •of the chemistry de partment, is presently on sabbatical leave at the Atomic Energy Laboratories, Belvedere, South Carolina. His work at the College is research in radiation chemistry on fatty acids. In the biology department the re search of Dr. C. B. Reif and Dr. D. W . Tappa is concerned with limnology, the scientific study of physical, chemical, meteorological, and biological conditions of fresh water. Dr. Reif has spent a number of years working ·on this research in connection with the region 's lakes. faculty is presently working on a U .S. Office of Education project to upgrade science and mathematics in the secondary schools of a five-county region including Luzerne, Lackawanna, Susquehanna, Wayne, and Wyomin.g counties. During the last several summers the National Science Foundation offered a summer institute for secondary school biology teachers toward improvements in secondary school biology courses. The Research Office is also concerned with the allocation of funds which may be used for equipment, library sources, curriculum improvements, and the institution of new Satellite program courses such as the environmental sciDr. R.

Page 3 Classes .discuss convention The main topic at the class meetings, which were held last Tuesday was the Constitutional Convention. The purpose and objectives of the convention were explained to each class. At the sophomore meeting it was stated that the new constitution will give the student body, through Student Government, power over non-social affairs. By the greater involvement of all students in student affairs, it is hoped that the general apathy that pervades the campus will be reduced. At the sophomore class meeting the progress of the Student Actions Committee was discussed. SAC was initiated by the sophomore class in an attempt to investigate social, political, and educational problems of the students at the College and to establish a definite communication amon.g the students. faculty and Administration. A report has been submitted to Dr. Farley and the class has since conferred with the President and other faculty members. The committee presently is trying to obtain the right to know before registration the faculty members who are teaching courses. It was stated at the meeting that Dr. Farley Musicians present 'Play ol Daniel' • IS planned are presented by this liturgical drama. For example, a large number of processionals and recessionals occur in the play. This causes a problem in the location of the entrances and exits. A former production made much use of emphatic movement and gestures to convey details of character and emotion. Certain scenes must be carried out effectively without music or speech. Further problems occur in the presentation of the music itself. While there was a complete musical setting with stage direction, the manuscript did not indicate rhythm, instrumentation or dynamics. Many of the instruments cited in the original work were not available ; therefore . modern instruments that came closest to the sound had to be substituted. Twenty plan (Continued from page 1) was not favorable to the idea because it might make registration more hec tic. Among the other issues to be taken up by SAC are the grading system , cuts, cafeterias, and social restrictions. A poll was also taken to decide whether a Freshman-Sophomore Dinner-Dance will be held. Because the attendance has been so poor, the class feels that the interest of the students is not being served in holding this affair. The junior class presented awards to its athletes in field hockey, soccer, and football although many of the ath letes were absent along with the ma jority of the class. President Mike Clark stated that the Sophomore-Junior Hayride was a " fi nancial fiasco. " He asked support for the class dance which will be held in several months. He also announced that for the benefit of those who did not order class rin.gs, orders will be taken again in February.

The 1967 Colonels were the best small college team (Division II or III) i in the East - or were they? The football team , with a 21 game winning streak, in fact, was among the top small college teams in the nation - or were they? The answer to these questions, of course, is a definite yes. But it seems that outside the College no one believes it. First of all, during the season, despite outstanding play week after week by certain individuals, only three Colonels were selected to the ECAC Division III All-East Team . Danny Malloy was honored for his five interce ption5 against Moravian, Bill Layden for his outstanding play against Ursinus, and Brinley V archol for his work against Drexel. Taking no credit away from Layden and Varchol, these were not necessarily their best performances. Also, week after week Joe Wiendl performed his "little miracles·· and nomination after nomination was ignored. The culmination of the process occurred last week with a fia sco called the ECAC (season) Division III tea m. It included s1:1ch stalwarts as Sam Porrecca, fullback from Haverford, tackle Mike McCullough of PMC. and at guard Ed Mattio of Drexel. All showed their talents against Wilkes. Porrecca, incidently , played quarterback vs. Wilkes. The clincher though was the defensive back of the year - Herb Nauss of Albright. We must consider, however, one drawback to the ECAC's selections. They still operate on the assumption that there are only eleven positions on a football team. The standard offensive alignment. Beside these eleven they recognize one defensive back. This leads to situations such as Brinley Varchol being selected to the team as guard when he plays linebacker. Secondly. the team , with an 8-0 record in the MAC had to share honors with two teams with only 5-0 records. It hurts that we had to share the title thus. but the records we re obtained for the most part against the poorest teams in the MAC. Then came the real reward for a fine season - the Lambert Bowl selection. The Colonels received the first such award last year and it seems that an 8-0 season would be enough to retain it. But the Touchdown Club of New York. who selects the winners, felt that Wagner ( a New York team) was more deserving. Of course none of the selectors saw Wilkes play, or for that matter probably none saw Wagner either. The Colonels' last hope was an invitation to the T ange rine Bowl. Morq ai. State. defending champions, were almost assured of a choice to defend their title after going undefeated again. The second choice went to West Chester. This was probably a wise choice because West Chester was undefeated and nation;i.lly ranked. Besides, they are a larger school than the College and would insure the financial success of the Bowl. In the end Morgan State declined and the University of Tennessee (at M a rtin) was selected. Thus ended the season of the best team in Wilkes' history. Who wi ll ever know that it was the best season? I blame poor press relations as the r<>a~o n - poor relations with someone in the powerful New York Press. The ECAC is based in New York, as is the Touchdown Club and that "Supreme Being" called the Ne w York Times . The team 's last salvation lies in the MAC selections. Hopefully, those who choose the teams will be objective in their selections and choose the best players. At least the MAC chooses an offensive and defensive team and is not, thankfully, dominated by New York interests. Athlete of the Week HERBERT KEMP Dialogue [Con'd. from page 1] male students are housed in the New Men 's Dormitory, the YMCA, and the Hotel Sterling. Gore returns At this point Dr. Farley interjected that next semester Gore Hall would again become a men 's dorm ; the women presently housed there will move to the newly acquired Bedford residence. Dean Ralston also stated that the small residences formerly occupied by men had been an ideal living experience incorporating the best features of fraternity life without the exclusiveness or snobbery of social fraternities. He said that this condition created an esprit de corps in the men. The Beacon honors sophomore forward Herbie Kemp as its first Athlete of the Week for the winter season. The strapping 6'3" forward 's performance in the first two .games must definitely be noticed and plauded. Kemp scored 23 points against both E -town and Ithaca and also garnered 19 rebounds in each game. Against the taller Blue Jays, Kemp simply outclassed the defense with his drives and scoop shots. It was a repeat performance at Ithaca a night later as Kemp was the only consistent gun in Coach Rainey 's arsenal. Kemp has proven he is definitely one of the young stars of the MAC. It will be interesting to note the forward's development when some of the more experienced MAC teams start to apply the pressure. It is almost safe to assume that the native from Abington High School, Abington, Pennsylvania will come through in the same manner. The Beacon wishes good luck to Herb and the entire Colonel sq uad for the remainder of the season. -NOTICEDr. Kay of the Philosophy and Religion Department has announced that all students interested in forming a Philosophy Club may meet wtih him on Thursday, December 14, at 4 p.m. in Stark 116. by Chuck Lengle The Colonel cagers opened up their '67 -'68 MAC season last Friday night as they conquered the heavily-favored Blue Jays from Elizabethtown College. All -around team effort and desire were easily cited as the major reasons for the Colonels ' early-season upset, 82-75. Kemp and Ryan big guns Herbie Kemp and Bo Ryan, who scored 23 and 21 points, respectively, were the big guns in Coach Ron Rainey's attack as every Colonel played an important role in the victory . Kemp was tremendous off the boards and his 19 rebounds set a personal college high. This figure is even more astonishing when it is considered that E-town has a 7'0" center and a 6' 10" forward battling for the rebounds. Ryan was in the right spot throughout the game and was always on the beam with his accurate passes. These two were the individual stars. However, the other five men cannot be overlooked. Roh O ckenfuss, inferior in height at a mere 6'6", finally exhibited his temper a5 he scored eleven points and gathered in eleven rebounds in an exC<'llent performance. Senior Jimmy Smith was double-teamed most of the evening and this might explain his low output of nine points. Freddy Bauer came off the bench in tense situations and nisplayed the coolness of a seasoned veteran as his contribution to the team 's conquest. The dynamic duo from Montrose, Jay Reimel and Billy Grick. were sensational as they dominated floor play wi th timely steals, goals, anrl pass interceptions. Stage comeback Down 26-12 in the first half, the Colonels forced th e E-town cagers into numerous mistakes and left the floor on the short end of a 39-37 count at halftime. With 13 minutes remaining in the second h;i.lf, the Colonels took the lead by a score of 53-52. The lead switchl'n hands several times until Ryan. Kemp, and Ockc-nfuss sank Pve consecutive goals to stretch the Wilkrs lead to 69-59. At this point in the game, E-town Coach Bill Garrett substituted for his "niants" and wrnt to his small squad. The switch of personnel seemed to have little effect a.s th e back-court combination of Ryan , Malleteers insuperable Bo Ryan displays his shooting ability as he hooks the ball over the out-stretched arm of Bill Wenger (54). Trailing in the play are Blue Jays' Ed Means and Don Sellers. Grick, and Reimel spelled the difference. Captain Smith and Kemp fouled out of the game within 30 seconds of each other ( with 3: 14 remaining) and their absence could have spelled defeat. Coach Rainey dug into his bag of tricks and elected to go with three guards (Grick, Ryan. and Reimel) , Bauer and Ockenfuss. The three speedburners dribbled the ball through the rntire Blue lay team at times and the game ended with Grick at the foul line. Bob Garrett stated: "We won 't meet a better team effort all year. This is definitely a strong ball club: they knew what they had to do and they did it.

The half ended with the Bombers out in front once again by the score of 35-24. The second half was a continuation of the first and gradually the Bombers' lead began to increase steadily. It was evident that the tremendous desire and hustle of Friday's game was beginning to take its toll. With eight minutes remaining in the game, Coach Hugh Hurst began to substitute freely . The reserves kept up the constant pressure and the hot shooting and as the final horn sounded, the men from Ithaca had clinched their second win in as many nights, 83-52. The Bombers shot 75 per cent from the floor, hitting on 34 of 45 shots. Conversely, the Colonels could only hit on 23 of 66 shots for a lowly 38 per cent. Kemp had another hot hand as he ripped the cords for 23 points and gathered in 19 rebounds, an exact duplication of Friday night's performance.

XXVII, No. 13 Untermeyer to discuss what Americans read by Debbie Rushin Mr. Louis Untermeyer, poet, ed itor, critic, anthologist and author of the . recent volume of reminiscences entitled Bygones , will address the College on " What America Reads and ' Why" on January 4 at 8 p.m. at the Center for the Performing Arts. Best known among his books of original verse is the Selected Poems and Parodies. His book Modern American and British Poetry was recently issued in an enlar9ed Mid-Century Edition and has been adopted as a standard text in virtually all schools and colleges throughout America. Mr. Untermeyer added biographer to the list of his literary accomplishments with the publication of his book Makers of the Modern World , in which he recounts the lives of writers, artists, scientists, statesmen, philosophers and other cultural leaders who have helped to shape the pattern of today's world. His Lives of the Poets has been hailed as the true successor to . Samuel Johnson·s classic of the same title and his Golden Treasury of Poetry is for young readers what the original Golden Treasury was for their elders. Born in New York, reared and educated there, Mr. Untermeyer is an essayist, biographer, teacher, lecturer, pianist and passionate horticulturist.

The play, based on the biblical story of Daniel in the lions· den, will be directed by Mr. Richard Chapline of the music department. The thirteenth century musical drama will be enacted in the authentic costume of the period. The players, utilizing the facilities of the Center, will imitate a theater - in - the - round.

Within a playing time of two hours, there are nine processions, most accompanied by pomp and display. The first public performance of the drama since medieval times was presented in 1958 by the New York Pro Musica at the Cloisters of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The present edition of the play is based on the transcription by Reverend Rembert Weakland. His task was to transcribe the music into modern notation and work out a rhythm based on the thirteenth century practice. In the first act, the drama centers around Belshazzar's court. Three processionals occur in this scene. Mysterious handwriting appears on the wall of the throne room and only Daniel, the slave, can decipher it. In the second act, King Darius overthrows Belshazzar and takes his kingdom. In this act, Daniel is condemned to death in the lions· den , but he is rescued by an angel. Basil Russin will narrate the play. Included in the cast are Dennis English, Raymond Smith, Joy Geida, Michael Stair, Edward Liskey, Louis Kubik, Neil Rosenshein, Elliot Rosenbaum, and Eleanor Krushefski. Others are Merrill Farrell, Janine Naill, Patricia Lewis, Gloria Koritko, Michele Shivell, Mar9aret Franks, Sheryl Lucker, Ann Barnes, Virginia Larson, Eugene Solomon, Robert Smurlo, and Roger Butler.

The committee also discussed a proposal that the new Court should have jurisdiction over cases where dormitories were solely involved. At the present time !RC has sole power over disputes between dormitories and it was felt by a few members of the committee that this power should remain with JDC. It was felt that the Court would encroach on the organization that was already fulfilling this capacity. It was pointed out that it may be dangerous to have another independent organization such as JDC on campus once our new constitution is set up for all of the College students. One student commented that there should be one autonomous organization that everyone can go to and that it is responsible for the entire campus. It has been suggested that dormitory problems could be settled by a court composed of members solely from the dormitories: this may alleviate the need for a separate organization such as JDC. It was pointed out that the functions of JDC could possibly be included in the Senate and Executive. No final decision was taken as to whether jurisdiction will be taken over cases of this nature. Following this discussion, the committee analyzed the problems which exist between classes, clubs and other organizations. It was pointed out that the Senate Committee may also have a grievance committee to which these organizations may go if they want some action outside of a definite controversy with another organization. It was decided to provide a sub-committee from the Student Court ·and one from the Senate to discuss this problem in .greater detail. Carl Siracuse then stated that Dr. Farley would be in favor of this Student Court and would like the students to take a greater interest in governing their own affairs. Dr. Farley pointed out that at times the students are more knowledgeable and equipped to deal with their own problems and to settle them effectively.

He hopes that this new course will aid the society in recruiting new members; it will be offered as an alternative to public speaking. News Analysis by Tom Engle In recent issues of the Times-Leader, Wilkes-Barre's "leading " news publisher, the parking problem created by the addition of new buildings at the College has led to char9es and counter-charges by the principals involved. The position of the College was presented by Dr. Farley in a letter of November 30 to the Times-Leader. The position of the city has been reviewed by Frank Burnside, a local merchant and civic worker. Dr. Farley stressed the importance of the College's expansion into a graduate program in the sciences as a fundamental condition of RCA prior to their locating in this area. This is a valid assumption and the creation of "5,000 to ·6,000 regional jobs" seems to have hinged on this expansion. Likewise, as Dr. Farley pointed out, the rapid increase in the size of the student body has both stimulated the growth of an educated labor supply as well as increased the gross income of the inhabitants of the greater Wilkes-Barre area. Not only do the College's students spend an average of $2 million each year in the city, but members of the faculty rent and buy housing, pay taxes, and shop here. Al - so, the College hires local° contractors to build dormitories, libraries, and rehabilitate existing structures, as well as provide a sizeable number of people to maintain its physical plant. Dr. Farley·s point is well taken; the College contributes in a great many ways to the continuing economic growth of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Burnside, on the other hand, seems to refute Dr. Farley's claim concerning RCA. It is his position that rather than helping the growth of the community, the College and Dr. Farley seem to have hindered it. By flouting the local zoning restrictions and blocking an attempt to build a super highway in mid-city (vicinity of South and River Streets), Burnside claims Dr. Farley "has unnecessarily increased the congestion in central city." Also, for the same reasons, the local merchant feels that "Wilkes-Barre has no direct interchange" on R_o ute 81. The criticism of the parking situation stems from an announcement recently of the expansion of the Center for Performing Arts to include a muchneeded instruction center for the music department. The contention of articles in the local newspaper seems to indi- cate that this will create additional parking woes for affairs held in the combined buildings. If, however, the zoning laws require the College to provide one parking space for each ten day students, then the 270 parking spaces of the College seem to meet this demand. And, if enrollment of day students from the Wilkes-Barre area is not substantially increased in the next few years, it would appear that the College will continue _to meet the basic requirement. This, however, does not solve the problem. Anyone who has ever had to regularly claw his way through the streets of Wilkes-Barre, drive past the ugly , dirty, unworked culm banks and refuse dumps within city limits, ne9otiate a morass of uncontrolled cars and pedestrians, and seek an inexpensive parking space is aware that the addition of a classroom building on the College campus is not going to appreciably alter the present situation. Rather, the present status of city congestion and the critical need for parking space stems from the lack of any effort, exeluding verbal, on the part of the city of Wilkes-Barre to improve the situation.

At the beginning of the semester, the 80 students attended classes concerned with curriculum , methods, and reading which lasted for four weeks. During the following eight weeks they put into practice the educational knowledge which they had acquired. Presently . the students are a ttending various committee meetings in substitution for regular classes. The subject of these meetings is the construction of a new school to be situated in an educational park. Development of this hypothetical institution is required in place of writing a term paper. Each student is obligated to participate in the activities of three committees, one of which must deal with his major field . He is also ex- · pected to belong to an interest or vocational committee and to be a member of a third group which considers such activities as home and service, staff and school regulations.

Friday, December 15, 1967 SG discusses constitution by Bonnie Ge/las Myrna Lou Brodbeck recently taught advanced English classes at Meyers High School, where she followed the method of a pupil-centered class. Using Hamlet as an example, her students studied the basics of literature, complemented with discussion. They related plot and character to everyday experience; for example, one girl was asked whether she would like Hamlet for a boy friend . In addition to such an exchange of ideas, the pupils acted out many scenes from the Shakespearean play. This course also considered the essay as a literary form . The classes compared and contrasted the works of various modern authors. During her experience, Miss Brodbeck found that the lecture method of instruction, with which we are familiar on campus, was invalid for use with her classes. She found it successful to draw the information from the pupils and encourage them to ask questions. "Motivation," she said, "is a prime factor. " Besides instigating a drive among her students, Miss Brodbeck learned that planning and organizing are necessary for a worthwhile class. In admiration for her cooperating teacher, Miss Brodbeck said, "Since student teaching is primarily a learning experience, it was fortunate that Miss Tyburski was always there to guide and advise me." After graduation, Miss Brodbeck plans to teach English in a secondary school in the area, then continue to study for her master"s degree. She is now serving as chairman of the philosophy committee, which outlines the aims and objectives of teachers in that field . John Vanderhoof, a music education major, began his period of field teaching at Meyers High School. After th e first few weeks, he also st arted teaching a general music course in local elementary schools. He felt this wa5 an enlightening experience, since he was able to observe the consequences of practicing the ideas which he previously held. He saw that some of his ideas were profitable, while others were not. In comparison of the two educational levels, Vanderhoof stated , "An important factor , which I found to be lacking on the high school level, is discipline. Without this, it is impossible to accomplish anything ." He was happy to have this opportunity, say- The Constitutional Revision Coming that the students themselves made it enjoyable ; the younger they were, mittee has begun to " spin the wheels of progress," it was reported at the the more they thrilled him. last SG meeting .

They found many differences in teaching on the two educational levels and learned to recognize the procedure, language, and discipline to use in each situation. The older and younger students differ in their types of reactions and in their attention spans. They found the experience profitable in learning what to expect in a classroom situation. Paul Smith, who taught eleventh and twelfth-graders in the Wyoming Valley West School District, thought his biggest challenge came in finding ways to attain the interest of his students and getting them to accept what he was saying. He thought that his experience was very effective in putting a link between studying in school and actually stepping into a teaching career. Having been exposed to the task of instructing a class, he feels better acquainted with how to present material to his pupils. When anyone begins teaching , he must spend time getting used to the students, and they need to become familiar with his techniques. " Student teaching eliminates the probJem of the instructor becoming familiar with a class," concluded Smith. e1c.u:,x,a,:"""'DDDDCJD•:mmuuoouccx,oo,oUCJUUuucoooooooooocccoooc 0001 a □oo□□□□□□oooo□□□o □oo□ cooaoo □oo□□oo□□□□□a □oooo□□o□□□□ooo□□□o □□□□□□□□□□a□oc::.ao□ □□□□□□ooaoo □□□□□□o □□c Katie Eastman, in her report of the Senate Committee, stated that it has written a list of 23 topics concerning Senate jurisdiction and the delegates are .going through the constitution to investigate its problems.

Students will receive a 30 per cent discount on all facilities and there is a possibility that students will have the use of the lodge for the dinner and dance at night. Turner also stated that a list of all junior girls will be posted for the election of Snowflake Queen, which will take place after the Christmas break. The price for the affair has not yet been set, but the tickets will be on sale at the Bookstore , the Commons, and the New Dining Hall. It is to be noted that tickets will be collected at this affair. A final point made was that there will be buses to Camelback and those interested must pay in advance. Administration or SG and will only involve a cost of five cents or ten cents a trip on the bus. The Student Action Committee will pursue this idea and will circulate petitions in the near future. Dr. Farley~ also expressed the wish that the ideas of the SG Constitution be presented to freshmen during their orientation program since they will be living under it for four years. Next, President Gatto read a letter from IDC President Bill Bush in which he proposed the idea of subsidizing buses to the away football games next year. The idea was tabled until a later date. Gatto then read a letter from Dr. Farley concerning the arbitrary placement of posters in Stark Hall, which detract from the building's appearance. SG proposed that all posters and Hyers be approved by the Public Relations Committee under Mr. W allison. More action will be taken on this matter after Gatto meets with Mr. Wallison, but any outcome will be enforced. "Kangaroo style" Mr. Hoover reported that the Council of Deans is considering the problems of " what goes on " and "what has gone on" at dances. There is dissatisfaction with the present scheduling system and it is felt that there should be some penalty for the "kangaroo style" of some groups when there are other all-College affairs. Mr. Hoover especially noted the dorms on this point in specific reference to dorm parties during Homecoming and the Lettermen's Formal. Bill Gasparovic appeared before SG to have January 6 approved for a dance after the basketball .game. Carl Siracuse pointed out that this must be approved through the Council of Deans because it is not the policy to schedule two affairs the same night. Mr. Hoover said that unofficially it was all right but "there is no unilateral action in the Council of Deans; they take joint action on all affairs."

The Snyders reside with their children, ages seven and nine, at 46 Susquehanna St., Wilkes-Barre. Dr. Snyder was born in the fairy tale surroundings of a castle situated a few miles north of Berlin, Germany. Dr. Caroline Snyder The daughter of a German count who was killed during World War II, she and her family fled to West Germany during the Russian advance on Berlin at the close of the war. They then moved from West Germany to Switzerland and finally arrived in the United States in 1946. Her early life was spent in the vicinity of Boston ; she received her B.A. and M.A. degrees from Radcliffe College, and her Ph.D. in German Language and Literature from Harvard University in 1966. She taught at Harvard from 1955 to 1959 and met her husband there. After teaching at Luther Colle.ge in Iowa, she and her husband moved to Wilkes-Barre where they have been living for two years. Dr. Snyder enjoys her teaching career at the College, but finds the language department much in need of improvement. "There is a need to update the curriculum, and more funds are required for this purpose. As of now, there are plans for a new language laboratory after the adoption of Kirby Hall as the new language department building. By means of these improvements, the students may see a personal need to extend their knowledge of foreign languages, rather than feel it is just a requirement they must fulfill. " She also stated that she, along with the other members of the department, hopes to see more courses offered in the various languages, especially Russian. The Beacon would like to welcome Dr. Snyder as a full-time faculty mem ber and to congratulate her on this new position. She is a charming addition to the College. Charges sile, continued (Continued from page 1) No effort has been taken to eliminate such dangerous ills as the centercity square, as obsolete as the Model T : no effort has been made to re-route traffic moving into and out of the city on present arteries by making them one-way ; no effort has been made to resurface such important thoroughfares as Blackman and Northampton Streets, the South Street or Market Street bridges. And, it certainly appears that the City Zoning Commission has added, rather than reduced, parking problems by permitting the construction of a food market and industrial concern on two large former parking areas adjacent to both the College and the downtown area. city, not to mention vast acres of ground now occupied by thick stands of weeds and massive piles of junk and garbage. Or are the citizens of this community and those who try to use its resources going to have to continue to listen to verbal outcries rather than witness and utilize material improvements? Burnside failed to note that opposition to the construction of a super highway to help bypass center-city congestion arose long before the Center for Performing Arts became a reality. And, his contention that WilkesBarre "has no direct interchange on Interstate 81" is completely fictitious. As a matter of fact, Route 81 entrances and exits border on the city line. The real problem has been, and continues to be, the movement of traffic into and out of the city. Certainly the pot-hole ridden Blackman Street, used by the majority of those employed by industries in Mountaintop, cannot continue to carry the amount of daily traffic in both directions that presently is expected of it. Nor can any of the other four narrow two-way streets in and out of center city be effectively utilized. Two years ago the city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire (population circa 16,000) constructed a bi-level parking area one and one-half blocks from its downtown area. Parking meters permitting up to four hours of continuous parking for not more than 25 cents were provided. The towns of Carlisle and Chambersburg , Pennsylvania, have leveled decaying buildings throughout their downtown areas and thereby provided sufficient parking space at a profit to the cities. Why is The city is being strangled with it not possible for the city of Wilkestraffic, poisoned with fumes, and, its Barre to do likewise?

BEACC:>N Pap3 'Death ol God' discussed The Death of God Theology reminds me of the story of the drunk who stumbled onto a double-decker bus, weaved his way up the steps to the second deck and in a few moments staggered down again. "What's the matter," asked the driver, "don't you like it up there?" "No," replied the drunk, "there's no driver upstairs." The Death of God theologians are saying that there is no driver "upstairs," or if there is we can 't know anything about him, even that he is there, or we 're better off without him, or his being there makes absolutely no difference to anything else in the world, or he's left there permanently in death or in some other way. PAUL VAN BUREN Paul Van Buren came to his views about the Death of God primarily through his acceptance of the findings of analytic philosophy, in particular his acceptance of a modified form of the verification principle. This modified form suggests that the meaning of a word, "God," for example, is its use in a context. How does Van Buren think we can use the word, "God?" He has two central themes. 1 ) The word "God" is either meaningless or misleading ; and 2) the essential meaning of the Christian Gospel can be asserted without the use of the term God. 1,000 qualifications Thus, for Van Buren, God is dead in the sense that He has died the death of 1,000 qualifications. For example, we know what an earthly father 's love means: to the best of his ability he will take care of his children and keep them from harm. But we haven't the fog.giest notion what the love of God means. As Carlyle says, a loving God, despite his alleged lovingness, just sits there and does nothing. We do not, and cannot, know what counts for or against the claim that God loves us. In time of suffering, the believer must always say, "God loves us, but . .. ," and the 1,000 qualifications begin. This means we trust in God to love us, but we never observe any action of God or consistent change in the human situation which would be a demonstration of that love. Two important consequences come from this: I ) The believer in a loving God does not actually have expectations about what the "facts" will be that are any different from the expectations of one who denies the existence of a Supreme Being. He is like the person in the parable who, seeing weeds and apparently carefully-tended flowers in a garden, keeps expecting to see a .gardener, but the gardener never comes. He keeps making excuses for the gardener's absence - he's invisible, e.g.-to his unbelieving friend, who keeps saying, "But there is no gardener," and then, finally, in exasperation, " Just how does what you call an invisible, intangible, eternally elµsive gardener differ from an imaginary gardener or even from no gardener at all?" Faith in the gardener or in God doesn ·t change the "facts" for the believer. But 2), his attitude would be different, and of course a different human attitude makes for different behavior. But then, since the human attitude is all that matters - and all we can know about - since the facts are the same for both ( cancer kills the believer and the unbeliever alike), the word God does not say anything about ultimate reality at all. Thus God is love does not refer to anyone supernatural who is like a human father, only better - or if it does we can't know it. "God is love" simply means, as one philosopher put it, "I intend to live a loving life" - religious belief dissolving into moral intentions. God-talk meaningless Thus, all statements about God, for Van Buren, are not cognitive statements, saying something verifiable about God or reality; they are noncognitive statements and are really, therefore, only statements about man, expressing his point of view about life. They can be verified as true , not as true about God, but true only in the sense that the man who makes them has the appropriate behavior to go along with them. So - God -talk is meaningless, because the facts of life seem to be indifferent to God"s existence and He certainly seems to be indifferent to them. And God-talk is misleading because it is really only mantalk, talk about man 's attitudes. Van Buren would drop the word, God, altogether then. However, in the second place, Van Buren is saying that Christianity is quite happy to be concerned only with man. In a nutshell, since that is all the space we have, we can know nothing of God or of ultimate reality but we can know enough about Jesus to know that he was a remarkably free man, especially free for others, and that somehow others caught his freedom by contagion, and still can. In this sense, Jesus seems to have some unconditional meaning for Van Buren, which brings God in again through the back door, so to speak, although in Van Buren's latest writing he seems to be moving more in the direction of a humanistic pluralism. WILLIAM HAMILTON Hamilton seems to have come · to his idea of the death of God through his profound awareness of the terrible mystery of suffering, as revealed in the writings of Albert Camus, for example ; and through the scattered statements of Dietrich Bonhoeffer about the world 's coming of age, t~e need for religion-less Christianity, ·a nd for rejecting the "God of the gaps." Dr. Roy E. Williams For Hamilton, God is dead as needfulf/1/er and problem -solver. Following Bonhoeffer, Hamilton believes that the world, not God, can offer forgiveness, overcome loneliness and despair, break pride, and relieve the fear of death and also minister to whatever restlessness man needs to overcome. He is willing to grant that maybe Augustine 's heart was restless until it found (Continued on page 6) Test yourself ... What do you see in the ink blots1 [1] A Japanes judo expe Just an i Mount Ve Holden explains research progress by Cookie Melnyk The extensive scientific research which is being undertaken by a number of faculty members of the physics, chemistry, and biology departments, is being made possible by a number of federal and non-federal grants. Federal grants encompass 90 per cent of the funding , while the other 10 per cent is obtained from state, and local government agencies, industrial agencies, and philanthropic foundations. For instance, the research of Dr. W . R. Stine and Dr. J. J. Bohning of thP. chemistry department is being supported by the Research Corporation, a private industrial agency. The Air Force is sponsoring Dr. S. J. Holden and Dr. Alvan Bruch in their investigations, while the National Science Foundation also a federal agency, is financing the experimentations being carried out by Dr. R. E. Ogren and Dr. S. G. Cohen. The process by which a scientist obtains funds for his selected project varies according to the particular agency and the type of research the investigator pains to do. However, the general pattern follows basically the same steps: First, the particular research project originates either as an idea of the Jtltltllllddlllldtllldlllllllltllltllllllllllr scientist, or as a request by some fed- eral agency or industry to have a faculty member do some specified piece of research. Second, the scientist determines the best place to go to obtain funds , considering who would be most favorable toward his type of research. Next the principle investigator must submit a proposal to the various agencies to which he is applying . Although the format of this proposal varies according to the agency, it mainly consists of a description of the institution where the research is to take place, a description of the qualifications of the scientist undertaking the investigation, a detailed narrative describing the proposed research, and a detailed budget describing the need for funds. The last step is to submit the proposal, and await the decision of the agency, which may range from six months to one year. In the past few months, a shortage of funds coming from Washington D.C. has extended the waiting period to one and a half years. Most agencies employ a panel of outside experts to evaluate the worth of the proposal. Then the agency, itself, will study the proposal and check budgetary items before awarding a grant. [2] An ax?

The Administration should be open to student question and influence. The students should be open to understanding the reasons for certain existing policies. ~The Administration should welcome these questions while the student should welcome the Administration's experience. Perhaps it would be wise for the Administration, faculty, and students to become involved - involved in an evaluation of what they have said and how they have acted. We must be definite about the spheres in which each of us can work. And from this should naturally come a physical involvement. (For example, we have become concerned about the present inadequacy of the Bookstore. V'fe know that as soon as possible, the Administration will furnish a new building with better facilities. But let the faculty and students begin now, workin.g to have newspapers, magazines, etc., available. From here, we could go on to other such actions.) Administration, faculty, and students, you are being called upon by the present situation to bring alive a reexamination and involvement. If we can concretely work with our ideas, we will be constructively affecting a liberal arts community. Katie Eastman Poll favors escalation by Todd Ashworth A survey on the war in Vietnam was recently conducted among students in the History 101 classes. The mixed results of the poll indicate a great variance of opinion on questions of involvement, escalation, objectives and other questions. When polled as to their agreement with the administration policy, four out of Ave said that they did not agree with the way the Johnson administration is running the war. When asked if they thought a credibility gap existed between what really goes on in Vietnam and what the American people are told, the students voted I 3 to one that the gap did exist, many expostulatin.g their views on why this gap should be eliminated. Two-thirds of the pollers voted that we were right in going into Vietnam in the first place and voted one to one on the question of whether or not President Thieu's government, which we back in Vietnam, fully represents the Vietnamese people. It is interesting to note here that many people said that they knew so little about President Thieu and his government's policies in Vietnam that they felt themselves unqualified to vote on this question. When asked if they thought the war in Vietnam was a civil war or a war of outside aggression, the vote was surprisingly close. Half voted that they thought the war was one between North and South Vietnam. The other half said that it is a war of outside aggression. When asked who the a.ggressor was, the answers ranged from the United States, to the Soviet Union, North Vietnam, and even Laos and Cambodia getting several votes. But by far and away, the majority thought that the Red Chinese or the VC were the primary outside aggressors. The students voted two to one for the escalation of the war in Vietnam. Four out of five said they would risk a war with China to end the war, but only two out of Ave would dare risk a war with the Soviet Union to the same end. When asked about nuclear weapons for escalation, approximately 25 per cent said they would use atomic weapons in their escalation of the war. Peace is believed to be our only objective in Vietnam. Should the VC be represented in peace negotiations? Here again, the voters polled four to one in favor of the VC being included. The Anal question was designed to let the student, if he or she wished, express his or her general feelings about the war which were not covered by the questionnaire. They varied greatly, from calling our leader things that are considered unprintable to why the draft is unfair. Opinion varied from " pull out tomorrow" to using "ten battleships and blowing the place off the map." One poller simply wrote three letters across the bottom of his ballot, WIN.

SUBSCRIPTION : $3.00 PER YEAR I deem it my pleasant duty and privilege to convey through the columns of your paper my choicest Christmas Greetings and wishes for a Happy New Year to the students, teachers and management of Wilkes College of which only last year I was a limb. Spiritually at least, my association with Wilkes has become a durable influence with me. Love of students, generous treatment o f t he management, inspiring friendship of my colleagues on the teaching staff, all I remember with a deep sense of gratitude. for an on-the-spot fresh exchange of ideas. Let alone a guess about my future plans, I can assure you, Mr. Editor, that I look upon Wilkes as my second home and I feel a deep sense of spiritual kinship with Wyoming Valley where I preached with unwearied zeal by philosophy of synthesis and, its practicaJ counterpart, the ideal of world brotherhood in which I with countless others believe lies in the future of man at this crisis of history. I do believe the concept of Christian love and forgiveness will play an important role in shaping the destiny of man. Immortal words: "Blessed are the peace-makers for they shall inherit the earth" sum up to my mind the genuine aspirations of the large mass of common man all the world over. On the auspicious occasion of impending Christmas, I would like to underline as best as I could the significance of the substance of Christianity for peace and prosperity of man. Before I conclude, once again I would like to wish all concerned with Wilkes a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sincerely, G. C .

Claus, hero of all good children, was killed today when his eight tiny reindeer went out of control while trying to land on a snow-and-ice-slicked rooftop. He was just about to land on the roof of the Mageezer house here in Tintalingus when the first of his noble charioteers veered sharply to the left, slid out of control, and caused the rest of the reindeer and sleigh to be completely demolished as they smashed into the ground. Santa was crushed to death by a large sack .he has been known to carry from time to time, the coroner's report said. Observers said that the clatter of the hooves and the an_guished cry of Mr. Claus could be heard for miles. Hints of sabotage Peace on earth to men of good will. Government contracts rumored It has been rumored that Mr. Claus was the recipient of several contracts from the United States government. (Explanation of closed workshop.) One of these was the development of a mass system · of levitation used so deftly by him and his reindeer. It is believed he was close to a marketable formula when he died. Santa's happier times According to informed sources, Jolly Old Saint Nick, as he was fondly remembered by his closer associates, lived in a modest but adequate twostory frame dwelling located at 512 Snow Lane. A large workshop was at- tached. (Although never interviewed at his residence, there is much speculation concerning his actions behind those closed doors.) His wife of 55 years, Mrs. Marlene T. Claus, resided with him, They shared a life of bringing happiness to children of the world and also adopted several kindred premature babies ~ called elves, who worked for him making Christmas toys. Mrs. Claus' only comment when asked about her late husband's death was: "Now he belongs to the ages.'.' Santa's body will lie in state at the North Pole where it will be frozen in a large block of ice ( the old boy was quite rotund); it is rumored that thousands of people will Hock to the Pole to pay their last respects to Father Christmas. His work will be carried on by his twin sons, Toothand and Sandy, who are his sole survivors, excepting his wife. The funeral service will be held on December 26 at the magnetic North Pole in reverence to the old boy, who will always be remembered as the world's greatest toy magnate. Almost immediately, FBI agents surrounded the scene of the crash and began an extensive investigation. Traces of wax were found on both the hooves of the reindeer and the runners of the sleigh.

But it is the implications of this harm less drug that will weaken one's resistance and lead to a serious drug problem. Once a person is on heroin, the doctor explained, his addiction is apt to cost him at least thirty dollars per day. Turchetti also explained that the addict's physical ability is indeed weakened; and therefore, his income can no longer depend on a stable job. He is then forced into stealing and other crimes. Today, he stated, we are faced with an even greater menace, that of LSD. The user of LSD undergoes many phases of experience when under the drug 's powerful influence. Dr. Timothy Leary, the leading patron of the drug, has been quoted as saying that he has reached a communion with God and nature while on an LSD trip. The effect of this drug has been farreaching ; many young people have left school and their homes in search of finding "their inner self." In turn, this has led to an increase in venereal disease.

God. At yeS t erday's assembly program, also, the theme was Christmas. The Brass Ensemble and Mixed Chorus were featured along with carols sung by the entire student body. Especially entertaining was the reading from Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol presented by Alfred Groh and Charlotte Lord of the English Department and by Joseph Salsburg of the Math Department. This is an atheist position, but with a difference. In some sense, for Hamilton (and for Altizer), the Death of God is associated with the nineteenth century, but also with the Incarnation of God in Jesus. Why the nineteenth century? Because the death of God lies at the very heart of the vision and experience of the nineteenth century, in the work of men like Nietzche, William Blake, Darwin, Freud, etc. Yesterday, the women of Theta Delta Rho sponsored the annual Golden-Agers' Chirstmas Party in McClintock Hall. In attendance were approximately fifty guests from the Sunnyside Convalescent Home, the Old Ladies ' Home, and the Valley Crest, Sutton, and Franklin Convalescent Homes. Holiday cheer was provided by the Women 's Chorus, while Dean George "Santa " Ralston "dropped in" to present gifts to the oldsters. This year, the members of the Circle K furnished transportation to and from the party. Why with the Incarnation? Because whatever it means, it suggests that God put off His sovereignty and poured Himself into the world, in human flesh, in Jesus, perhaps without remainder. Hamilton's thought, which is at once clear and yet unfinished, and is expressed not systematically but rather autobiographically, in fragments, seems to have advanced from difficulty with believing in God, through a confession of unbelief with hopes that the God who was silent, or hidden, or who had withdrawn, would return, through a further hope that ·though God was not necessary as a problem-solver - not necessary at all - still we might wait for Him that we might delight in His presence, to a final (to date) position that it is possible to be a Christian even though the meaningfulness and usefulness of speaking about God is gone forever.

It consists of approximately forty pieces of work representing the two artists through the varied media of watercolor, oil. acrylics, and ceramics. Collages, woodcuts, and etchings are also being displayed by the senior residents of Weiss Hall. The philosophies of both Miss Schrader and Miss Calamari could be stated as such : Art is an important part of our lives; art is reflected in the world we see about us.

He writes, "There is one clear entrance to the twentieth century, a passage through the Death of God; (we have come) to the collapse of any meaning or reality lying beyond modern man, dissolving even the memory of shadow of transcendence. " Altizer asks what kind of faith is possible in the time of the Death of God? I) An orthodox faith, which clings to the past and so misses the present; and which clings to religion and so misses the whole secular world. Altizer rejects this. 2) A faith that affirms , even gladly wills, the Death of God, cuts oneself off from all previous forms of faith, yet, oddly enough, seems to find , in a new way, Christ's presence in the world. How does he come to such a faith in the time of the Death of God? I) Through the study of non-Christian religion, especially of Oriental mysticism, and through the vision of men, especially in the nineteenth century, who had a kind of radical Christian fatih - principally the poet Blake, the nihilist Nietzche, and the dialectic philosopher Hegel. Their faith represents a kind of life-affirmation in the midst of their disillusionment with the culture and religion around them . 2) Through a commitment to the uniqueness of Christianity, which in its doctrine of Incarnation is precisely opposite Oriental mysticism, the purest form of religion. That is, Oriental mysticism wishes to negate the teeming, changing world in favor of a kind of absorption in the sacred Totality, eternal. quiet, inactive. But the Incarnation, the Word become flesh, means for Altizer that the sacred - God - the totally Other - has moved and merged for all time into the teeming , changing world. The sacred and profane In a kind of concidence of opposites - the sacred and the profane, or the religious and the secular, when the Word (call it God) becomes flesh, its preincarnate form is negated. God then no longer is transcendent, totally other, or even partially other, but has his being, without residue, in the continual process, change, and movement of flesh . Since more flesh, more people, more change keep happening, the Incarnation ( call it Christ) keeps "negating" its ow~ past manifestations, and is always a present reality. But not only is there the movement of the original sacred ( call it God) into flesh, there is also a movement of flesh - or ought to be - can be - toward the sacred, and a new unity is achieved in a kind of Hegelian synthesis, which is better than either element was in isolation. Thus - for Altizer - the Death of God, which, originally, seemed to mean for him a kind of cultural neglect of God in our time, has come to be associated with the Incarnation in Jesus and in Jesus ' own death on the cross. The radical, underlying meaning of the Incarnation is that God literally emptied Himself in Jesus. Christians, however, wanted to keep God - up there - and down here, in Jesus. But if He emptied Himself, as Altizer seems to think the Philippians II passage in the New Testament teaches, He emptied Himself. He died in Jesus, and His only life, henceforth, is in the life of the world. Transcendence has been transmuted into immanence , by God 's own self-sacrifice. For Nietzche, man killed - or must kill - God, who stands against our vitality and selfaffirmation. For Altizer, God killed Himself - for us. He so totally poured Himself into creaturely existence that He ceases to have any independent life of His own. Offense to rationality This has been written primarily as a brief exposition, without criticism, of the meaning of the phrase, " Death of God, " in the writings of Van Buren, Hamilton, and Altizer. But a further comment may not be out of order. We have noted that each of the three men, in his own way, has replaced the God who is gone with such a Tillichian unconditional commitment to Jesus that, to all intents and purposes, Jesus is "used" as God. In addition, we might add, as we recall some of the questions raised by Dr. Stanley Kay at the philosophy colloquium, that the central affirmation of the death of God comes perilously near to being sheer absurdity and contradiction. We may feel inclined to agree with Van Buren that we cannot talk meaningfully about God, but to talk about the death of God is not only to presuppose some rather exotic knowledge about the heart of the Eternal. but is a t the same time to contradict and offend the very bases of rational thought. ~occccococccoccooocccoc □coocoocooococccoooooooocooooooooooocooooaooooooooooooooooo□ooooo□o□ coo□c □c THE MOON ANYONE?

After witnessing a super team effort when the Colonels conquered the Blue Jays of Elizabethtown College, he has suffered three consecutive losses to the likes of Ithaca, 83-52 ; Lycoming, 8677 ; and last Saturday to the Blue Devils of Madison-FDU, 97-76. Height again prevailed in the Lycoming encounter as the Colonels were subdued 86-77 in a home contest. With this MAC loss, the Colonels found themselves with a 1-1 record in conference play. Sam Brasington, 6'7" , and Terry Buchanan, 6'8", completely dominated the boards for Lycoming and also led the scoring parade with 23 and 21 points, respectively. The scoring was well distributed as five of the six Warriors who saw action hit for double figures. Bo Ryan led the Colonels with 18 points, Jimmy Smith ripped the cords for 15 (all coming in the first half) . and Herbie Kemp added 11 markers. Bob Ockenfuss gathered in 20 rebounds and Kemp was credited with 18 in a losing cause. Smith injured Foul trouble , an untimely injury and a cold hand played dominant roles in the Colonels' loss. The nine-point spread was rung up in the final two minutes as the superior height of the Warriors paid off. Kemp gathered his fourth foul in the first half with 11 :50 remaining on the clock and eventually fouled out of the contest with four minutes left to play. Smith's injury was incurred at the beginning of the second half. It was later diagnosed as a severe sprain of the left ankle and it is hoped that Smith will be ready to start by the beginning of the second semester. Smith scored all of his points in the first half on seven of nine attempts from the Boor and one for one from the IS-foot stripe. With 5:53 remaining in the second half and Lycoming leading 76-72, the Colonels hit a cold spell and failed to score for the next two minutes and ten seconds. Fred Bauer ended the drought when he dropped in two foul conversions, but it was too little too late as Lycoming had accumulated an 84-72 lead. After Smith was injured, Coach Rainey tried to gain a speed advantage by employing a lineup of Bill Grick, Jay Reimel. Bill Umbach. Ryan and Kemp. The move backfired as the Warriors used their height advantage well and .g radually increased their lead.

Bad passes, mental lapses, and sloppy Boor play combined to give the Blue Devils from Madison-FDU an easy victory. The Devils produced a well-rounded scoring attack with nine men hitting the scoring column - four in double figures. Bill Wickes led the attack with 25 points, scoring 17 in the second half. Joe Shriver hit for 15 points while Ted Brunning and Jim Harmon chipped in with 14 markers each. Bo Ryan and Herbie Kemp played their usual games, scoring 18 and 15 points, respectively. Kemp was the big man off the boards as he .gathered in 24 to lead the Colonels in that department. Bob Ockenfuss also scored 15 points in a losing effort. The Blue Devils jumped out to a quick 17-7 lead after only six minutes of action as Shriver and Harmon were the big guns. The Colonels then battied back and eventually tied the game at I 9-19 with 9: 14 remaining in the first half. Ockenfuss put the Colonels out in front 20-19 when he converted a technical foul ( called against Madison Coach Bill Rafferty) a few seconds later. From then on, the Blue Devils could do no wrong and the Colonels could do nothing right. MadisonFDU took a 41-30 lead into the locker room at half time.

Ac- claimed as the " Rose Bowl of Wrestling" by Sports Illustrated magazine, the tournament is presently recognized as one of the very best in the country. It offers the keenest competition available and also serves as a tune-up for the regular season. The tournament is operated on a volunteer basis and is a non-profit event. The officials, some of the best in the country, also serve gratis. The tournament begins on Thursday, the 28th, with weigh-ins scheduled to begin at 7 a .m. The preliminary bouts will begin at I p.m. and continue until about 6 p.m. After an hour 's break for supper the quarterfinals will begin and will continue untill all contestants have wrestled. Friday will begin with weigh-ins at 8 a.m. Semi-final bouts and consolations will run from I until 6. The final round of wrestling will begin at 8 p.m. with awards to follow. Wilkes College inherited the tournament from the Wilkes-Barre YMCA in 1950 due to inadequate facilities. The tourney was initiated by Austin Bishop in 1932 while serving as wrestling coach at Wyoming Seminary and has grown from a local status to the position of the largest wrestling tournament in the nation. The competition has increased from approximately 56 wrestlers in I 932 to 384 contestants in 1965. Above is a panoramic view of last year's Open Tournament. The picture was taken on the second day of action with four mats in use. The Tournament will be held Thursday and Friday, December 28 and 29. Last year the Open attracted 434 entries with 364 men as actual competition. Represented among the number were 77 colleges and universities, 11 athletic and wrestling clubs, six YMCA's and members from the four branches of military service. The tournament will take on added glamor and importance this year because the Olympic Wrestling Committee has given the Wilkes Open committee the authority to choose 16 wrestlers for immediate qualification in the Olympic trials to be held in 1968 in Ames, Iowa. The choice of 16 will not be limited to merely the winners of the various weight classes because, unlike college rules, only eight classes wrestle in the Olympics. (Therefore, two or three could be chosen from one class.) The selection committee has not yet been chosen. There are also trophies awarded to the team champions and the runnersup in combined point competition. Individual trophies are also awarded to the outstanding wrestler of the tournament, the Blackburn Trophy, and to Dean George F.

Cowan, a junior, led the Southern Division in punting and scoring while Weiss directed Juniata to a perfect 5-0 record in the Northern Conference. There were six repeaters on the Northern Division Team including four from the College - Bruce Comstock, Bill Layden, Joe Koterba, and Joe Wiendl. The other repeaters were Dennis Zimmerman, Albright, and Ted Cottrell, Delaware Valley. The only The College was stunned last week by the tragic and sud den death of John Ewastation, assistant football coach. He was killed while driving home from a basketball game last Thursday. Besides his countless friends and admirers , John leaves behind a wife and daughter. The Beacon wishes to add its own condolences to those already extended to his family . John joined the Wilkes coaching staff two years ago after serving as an assistant at Meyers High School, Wilkes-Barre. He had worked mainly with the defensive line, making it into the outstanding unit it is. At the time of his death, he was head wrestling coach and a teacher at Meyers. Prior to his coaching experience he played football for the Marines at Camp Lejeune and King's College. Following are expressions of love and admiration which John aroused in his co-workers. The first is by a member of the team, George Conway; the second from Head Coach Rollie Schmidt. The sudden death of Coach John Ewastation has come as a heartfelt tragedy to the members, managers, and coaches of the football team. Coach Ewastation came to Wilkes two years ago and had done an outstanding job as defensive line coach. He was a rare and very special man, demanding respect from the players, but yet affording a companionship so essential to teamwork. "Ewo," as he was affectionately known, was a great ball player and an excellent coach. His death comes as no little loss to his friends and family. His life was devoted to teaching and coaching, and the people who had the opportunity to work with him could hardly minimize his influence in their lives. As a member of the team, speaking for the players and coaches, I would like to extend our sympathy to the Ewastation family. John Ewastation died last week. For those of us on the football staff, his death was particularly tragic and the loss deeply personal. We drew close as coaches and friends through two years of living, working, and sharing together those experiences which developed respect and admiration among all of us. In short, we loved him. His interest in others, his concern for others, was totally honest. John believed that dedication is devotion to duty, pride is essential if one is to give his best, respect for others is important, and success is a goal to be earned. He was successful because he so richly gave - with style. He'll be missed by his wife and family, his associates, the young people he taught and coached, and his many friends because he believed in them and was devoted to them. But he was more than a good parent, teacher-coach, and friend. John Ewastation was a man, and he was genuine. As someone once said, "He lived respected and died regretted ." John did. We will miss him. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The 11ve professional musicians have received extensive training at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and have performed many recitals during the past three years. For th05e who do not understand Japanese. "sartori" means an enlightening or enri ching experience. Patricia Valley, Hautist, is a student of John Krell and has studied with thE' late William Kincaid. A native of Alexandria, Virginia, Miss Valley has ;ippeared as soloist with Philadelphia's 16 Concerto Soloists and presently teaches at the Settlement Music Sc hool.

Members of the Constitutional Convention Committ'!e and two representa tives of the Beacon met to discuss revision of the student government constitution Mond ay evening. Tom Kelly, Jud y Simonson, and Carl Siracuse, committee chairman, were dismayed by th e ;ibsence o f so many elec ted delegates. Onl y seven of th e 25 ele cted delegates were present. A discussion of the conceptions of student gove rnment followed, in spite o f the poor attendance, and two main proposals were elaborated. David Frey and Bruce Fritzges, members of the Beaco n present at the meeting, suggested th a t the revision include th e committee form of student government now being adopted at o th er colleges. The problem with this form discussC'CI at the meeting is the nrnnner in which representatives are sE'lected. M embers o f the committee at M o nd ay 's meeting felt it necessary to provide a broad elective base for student leadership wh ich the proposed com mittee form does not allow. T o include aspects o f both the voluntary commi ttee form nnd the elec ted Senate form s it w11s suggested tha t members of the Senate be in charge o°f committees in rela tion to their need. The committee form differs from the present structure of student government in that more latitude and power is invested in committC'es dealing with specilk a re;is of concern. For instance, a cale nd ar com mittee would operate ;i nearly autonomous committee which it is felt by the proponents of such a s yskm. would free the other members o f the stude nt gove rnm ent for less important concerns and enable them to work in th eir Held of interest. Under the present revision, proposals are being made to strengthen and define the areas of student involvement. By outlining these areas and providing co nce rted leadership in the areas, the revision hopes to accomplish a strong and more effective leadership for the student body. Another meeting was scheduled for Wednesday !'vening when further di scussion as to the structure of the new government was to take place. It is hoped by the committee that a document will be ready for approval within the next few weeks. ICG attends stole conclave Wilkes Colle.ge Intercollegia te Conkren<.:e o n Govern ment is attending th e orga ni zatio n's an nual state convention in Harrisburg this week. On Thursday eve ning membe rs participated in the General Assembly, nt which tim e th ey were addressed by Governor Shafer, Genevieve Blatt, who is executi ve director of ICG, and the mayor o f Harrisburg. Also at thi s time (a mong the four other State nominations for th e offices ..of Speaker a nd Clerk o f the Assembly) was the nomination of M yrna Brodbeck. senior at Wilkes, the Northeast Region 's candi- date for State Clerk. Sam Berkey is in charge o f the College 's deleg ation. Du ring th eir sta y in Harrisburg , the Wilkes chapter will also partici pate in the legislative process of proposing. discussing. debating , and adoptin g bi lls from nine legislative rnm mittees. One bill will be voted the best bill to emerge from the State Convention . The various non -partisan political and leg islative activities under'taken a t this convention are desig ned to foster, o n a practical level, a broad undertaking of the functions of our government. "Dido and Aeneas" Opens SG Resignation Stayed; Bowers lo Remain SG had a chance to interpret stri ctly or loosely its present constitution at the last meeting as a result of the resignation of Jerry Bowers. freshm an represe ntative. Parliamentarian Paul VI/ ender stressed that according to the 'prcsE' nt constitutio n, an election of a h ew representative must be held withr1n two weeks after the resignation has hePn accepted. Gay Roberts. fresh,i,;in , pointed out that if this policy \\'ere carried out, the new representative would have. at mos t, two weeks to serve before th e general SG elections come up in late April. The conse nsus of the body was that the staging o f an election for a new representative by th e freshman class so close to the ge neral elections was impractical and th ey proposed to leave th e decision up to the fr eshman class. If th e freshm an cl;iss decided to hold an elec tion. \ 'lender stated, SG could exercise its con;;titutional power to approve or disaprrove elections scheduled on campus. President Gatto pointed out that if this plan were ca rri ed out it would make SG almost a <1i ctatorial power. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Hoover. the body decided to ahandon this idea and instead refuse Bowers' resignation and hold off furl.h er action until th e two-week limit for nc-w elections coincides with the nex t SG elections. Thus, SG took the easy but most practic;il way out in failing to interpret its role and functio n con<.: c- rninq class elections. C arl Siracuse, calendar chairman. proposed that a committee be set up to investigate the possibility of having SG take over all dances in the future and allot mone y to clubs as it is needed . If this policy were to be instituted. Siracuse stated that it would eliminate the possibility o f two cluhs hav ing dances th e sa me weekend and both losing mo ney as a res ult. One question that tht> committee will have to consider is the possibility of ;idding an activities fee to the present Colle(le bill. This is o nl y a possihilit y and not a su rety for nex t year. Siracuse also sugg es ted thnt Wilkes and King's sc hedu le th eir cak·nda rs to qether : perhaps Wilkes dances 0 11 Frida y nights and Kin g's dances Saturda y nights. In this way the two colleges can have more successful affairs ;ind there would be less enmity. Zig Pines, represen ting SAC, repo rted that his group will publish the re sults of the questionnaire he distributed to the faculty about his .group's general proposals for both students and facult y . The group also intends to have its proposals possibly placed o n the ballot of the nex t gene ral elections to obtain student opinion on various matters. At th e present tim e. Pines stated, SAC is investiga tin g the possibility of credit-onl y. pass- f,1i ) coursl's at Wilkes through further study of oth er institutions using this method. After the Easter vacation, SAC plnns to revamp its organization somewhat to encompass a greater crosssec tion of students and faculty. A seminar program for this purpose is also being considered. Surrounded by her court, Dido, queen of Carthage, played by Eleanor Krushefski, is shown dreaming of Aeneas. The last performance of Purcell's opera will be tonight at 8:30. The College music departm ent 's production of Dido a nd Aeneas opened last night at the Center for the Performing Arts. Due to the beginning of the spring vacation, the originally scheduled S aturday performance has been cancelled, thus making tonight's performance th e last. Curtain time for tonig ht is 8:30. The opera, first performed in 1689, is in English and concerns the romance between Dido, queen of Cathage, and Aeneas, the Trojan hero cast upon her shore following the fall Troy, who is called by a sorceress impersona ting M ercury, messenger of the gods, to found Rome. D irecting the opera is Mr. Richard C hapline. Dido is played by Eleanor Krushefski, Aeneas by Neil Rosenbaum. A cast of 30 additional characters is comprised of College music students w ho have studied o r are presently stud ying under Mr. Chapline. Some of these are: Carole Cronuauer, Pati Lewis, Marlene Atherholt, Mary Ann Mickulik, Joy Geida , Curtis Roberts, Barbara Gonzale&, Suzanne Caezza, Dennis English, Merrill Farrell, Margaret Franks, Gordon Heavner, Margaret Klein , Jan yne N aill, E lliot Rosenbau m, and Mi chael Stair. Cooperating with the music department in the techni cal aspects of the production is a staff of Cue 'n Curtain members. The set is designed and executed by Joseph J. Kleban and features a huge mast and sail used to give the illusion of the seashore sce ne. Lighting is by Joan Tymchyshyn. Bob Graham is stage manager. Also featured in th e show is a $4 ,000 harsichord, delicately han dled and played by Mr. Chapline. Tickets are on sale at the box office o r from Millie at the bookstore, and will be available at the door. All students and College facu lt y and staff members will receive one free ti cke t; additional tickets are $1.50. �THE Page 2 EDITORIAL BEACON ·Friday, April 5, 1968 I Letter Policy Letters to the editor represent a vehicle to transfer the opin ion of members of the College to the editor. It has been our policy to print all letters from members of the College community which do not offend the sensibilities and whose authors reveal themselves to the editor. This year has brought a fruitful and in many cases overwhelming number of letters from interested students, faculty, and Administration. The response has been so large in fact that due to the severe limitations we must work under as a college weekly, we have been forced to delete a number of letters from the newspaper. The Beacon tries to give a fair representation of campus life and activities and therefore it is necessary to delete any repeti tious, unduly long, trivial, or outdated letters. Letters which exceed 250 words are subject to condensing by the editorial staff. Exceeding this 250-word limit prohibits our publishing more articles, as space will not allow it. Our deadline for letters is Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. and acceptable letters will be printed on a first-come, first -served basis. We emphasize that we wish to publish as much information as possible for the College community and we feel better able to accomplish this if those who wish to add their comment will comply by limiting their word count and submitting letters before the deadline. NOTICE A presidential preference poll, sponsored by the Beacon , will be held on campus Monday, April 22. Help will be needed for publicity purpose and manning of the polls. Any interested student is asked to contact Chris Sulat at the Beacon office or Sturdevant Hall. THE BEACON Editor-in-Chief. . . . . . . . . . . • . . . . . • . . . . .

SUBSCRIPTION : $3.00 per year Majority view of exchange aired We wish to make it clear that this is not merely a letter to the Editor, but an open statement written so that Wilkes College Students, Faculty. and Administration may receive the opinion of the majority who participated in the Hampton Exchange Week-End. As stated in the Wilkes College Bulletin 1967-68 (page 44-Social Activities) : "JDC also sponsors a social exchange program between students from Wilkes and Hampton Institute, Hampton Roads, Virginia." The purpose underlying the exchange is not racial. Upon meeting with Dean Ralston prior to the trip, it was explained that we were not going to Hampton as a racial exchange - but as a personal, social exchange. And those of us who went to Hampton with this at- It would be a mistake to assume th at the liberal wing of the Republi c;m Party ( pronounced Fair Weather Republicans) was silent during all this bloodletting. A small group of them. disappointed because Romney ( the man whose brain .goes beyond bright) could be defeated by a man they consider a Loser ( what this would make Romney I couldn 't say) , are now tryi ng to get Nixon by fair means or foul. In the midst of all this minor lacerating , LBJ. always the master politician, adminstered the coup de grace. He announced that he will not run for President again in '68. This will put qu ite a crimp in the campaign of RFK and McCarthy, which were based on hatred of LBJ and a deescalation of the War. LBJ is deescalating the war now, knowing full well that Hanoi does not want to talk. W .hen his peace mission fails, as it is destined to, he will prove to the Doves of the world ( and what are doves but washed out We found in the week-end what we were looking for in the week-end. Those of us who were looking for a good time found one, and others who were looking for other things found and/ or imagined what they were looking for. We too agree that police patrolled the beach: however, we question th e interpretation that you gave in the Hampton article. Being the flrst day of Spring, the beac h was being re-populated, just as our dike is now being re-populated. For this reason we choose to look upon the presence of the policemen as merely routine - a normal occurence - and nothing else. We, as the majority, do not feel that "the p91ice were amazed ·at the suddenly integrated swimming area ... The article in the March 29, I 968 ed ition of the Beacon labeled " Hampton Tension High", has many overton es which we feel do not trul y rep• resent the ma jority consensus of the Wilkes group who participated in the exchange. We feel that the trip was pervaded not by tension. but rather by sincere congeniality and hospitality. (sic) Hubert Ritter, Ann Alumbaugh. Steven Kaplan, William F.

[on. position Dear Editor: In our attempt to provide a better system of student government, we have been severely castigated by your editorials. While we welcome constructive criticism, we do not welcome your sarcastic remarks which attempted to demean not only us, but also the student bod y which has elected us. We do not propose that the new constitution is a sacrosanct document ; however, we do believe that it proposes a better system of student government. You have charged that the Exec. Division of the Con. Con. has presented an "illiterate document." It is our hope that both your editorials a nd the Exec. Division Chairman's letter have crea ted enough interest in th e student body that they will want to read the llnished copy of the proposed constitution to flnd out exactly what it offers and to decide for themselves whether or not it is an " illiterate doc111nent." The judgment concernill{J the worth of the proposed constitution must be left to the Adminitrative Council and to the student body who will vote to accept it or reject it. We have enough confldence in our proposals that we will dis tribute many co pies of the proposed constituti9n to the students. We will make these copies available following the Spring Vacation. We would also like to explain. the reasoning behind the Exec. Division's recommendation that one of the assistant secretaries handle the reporting of S. G. matters. During the past three years there have been many S. G. meetings at which no Beacon reporter was present. There have also been instances where the Beacon requested that S. G . members themselves prepare a report for the paper. (This took place last year.) We felt that our recommendation would provide a direct line of communication to Tfi e Beacon. The assistant secretary could report pertinent fa cts concerning ca lendar changes, dates for special elections, location of S. G. sponsored social events, etc. These reports would Puhlicus discusses hackstahhers Nothing like a good round of meta phorical back-stabbing to get everyone interested in politics. I am referring of course to the scurrying in the ranks of the liber"als over the Democratic, and to a lesser extent Republican, candidacy for president. First we saw Eugene McCarthy stab the American soldier in the back, but this was nothing new as it had become a popular sport among "intellectuals" years earlier. Then we saw Bob Kennedy stab McCarthy in the back, quite a surprise to everyone. Bobby must have reconsidered his moral duties ( the fact that McCarthy had the courage to blaze new political fields and ac tually show the potential to overthi;ow LBJ may have had something to do with his decision). We must not assume from all this that Bobby is ruthless (gasp) but one gets the impression that Eugene would be constantly singing Dylan's "Posi.tively Eight Street" ( " You've got a lot of nerve, to say you are my friends .••. ") if only he knew all the words. titude - looking for a .good time were ce rtainly shown one. pigeons) that the only alternative to victory in Vietnam is a surrender to the unassailable monolith of Red China. Should the bombing pause bring nego.tiations ( laughter here). he can claiin he did it. In either case, LBJ has succeeded in ruining the campaigns of two of his greatest political adversaries. LBJ may kill a few hun, dred Americans with his bombing pause to prove that Hanoi must be totally defeated but it may shut up the militant pacifists once and for all. Look for a bid by HHH and his eventual nomination for President at the Democratic convention later this year. I am ashamed of a country that would let 83 of its citizens be held prisoners by a third ra te dictatorship ( the Pueblo incident in case you forgot already) just to keep things quiet and "peaceful." Publicus will make no further comments on the sorry state of the Union. Until things improve, I remainVery truly yours, Publicus include Senate meetings, Court sessions, and Committee meetings. (A new syste m of committees has been proposed.) It is doubtful that a Beacon reporter would he ;ib).- to attend all of these meetings ; howeve r, our recommendation would provide the Beacon with information concerning all S. G. matters. The ed.itor, being "officially" informed o f such matters, could print the report, enlarge upon its information, or disregard the report if he considered it insigniflcant. Since all o f these mee tings will be open to a nyone. Tfi e Beacon could send their own reporter to any meeting whenever they so desired. Therefore, we maintain that we did not propose a sini~ter censorship o f Tfi e Beacon as you sugges ted ; we h;ive proposed bet- ter communication between the student government and the student press.

In a short nine months he split the pop perform;ince world wide open with his amazing sta(IC presence. "The most amazing thing, .. one reviewer said about the Jimi Hendrix Experience, "is the audience reaction. . . . When the (lroup walks out onstage, there's a concerted gasp of surprise."

Off the record , Ji111i's favorite instrument is the harpsichorcl. Humphrey the activist by Martin f. Naparsteck Hubert Humphrey has always been ;111 activist. and if the choice is now his. he will actively seek the Presidency. He was born in Wallace. South Dakota, fifty -seven years ago. and thirtynine years ago he entered the University of Minnesota, only to drop out after two years. It was during the Depression and there was not enough money for his tuition. He picked up a degree from the Denver College of Pharma cy and worked in his father 's clru(lstore for three years. but then re turned to the Universi ty of Minnesota to earn a B.A. in political science in 1939. In 1940 he earned a master's degree from LSU and won a tea ching fcll ow~ hip nt the University of Minnesota. In 1943-44 he taught at Macal cstcr College in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was rejected for military service durin(l WWII because of medical problems. His flrst entry into politics was in 1943 when he was defeated for mayor o f Minneapolis by the incumbent Marv in Kline. He has not lost since. After helping to merge Minnesota's Democratic Party with the Farmer-Labor Party in 1944 (Eugene McCarthy and Orville Freeman also helped to bring about the merger). he worked as the :;tate campaign manager for the Roosevelt-Truman ticket that same year. One year la ter he defeated Kline for mayor and was then responsible for the enactment of the nation's first Fair Employ ment Practices Law. He was easily re-elected in 1947 over Frank J. Collins and gained a well -deserved reputation as a volum inous speaker. In his four years as mayor · of Minneapolis, Humphrey made over 2.000 speeches and nearly 500 radio broadcasts. In 1948 he won election to' the Senate over incumbent Joseph Ball, was re-elected in 1954 over Val Bjornson, and in 1960 over P . K. Peterson. At the 1948 Democratic Nati onal Convention he a rgued for a strong civil rights plank : "The time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadows of states' rights and to walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights." He was a Favorite Son Candidate fo r president in 1952, at President Truman's request, and his name was .1ct11ally placed in nomination, but he rele;,sed the Minnesota delegates after the first ballot. He broke precedent in 1956 by openly declaring himself available for the vice-presidential nom- in;, ti o n, but the Democrati c Conven ti o n instead chose Estes Kefauver. With one da y remaining in 1959 he lwc11mc th e flr.5t person to announce hi s ;,vail11 bility for the 1960 presidenti;,l nomin;,tion. but he lost b11dly in his two prinrnr y battles with John Kennedy. Kennedy won in Wiscon sin 56.5 per cent to 43.5 per cent and in West Vi rninia 60.8 per cent to JQ .2 r c-r ce nt. Dis;irmarnent has always be!'n one o f his speci;,J interests. In 1955 he was respon sible for the creation of n Senate Forei(ln Disarmament Subcommittee. of which he became chairman, and in 1961 he modified hi s own 1960 proposal for il National Pe;,cc A(lency to cre11te an Arms Control and Disarm;irnmt An ency. In 1963 he played a major role in the Senate ratiflcation of the Limited -Nuclea r Test Ban Treaty. The United Notions. also. has been o f special interest to Humphrey. Tn 1956-57. at President Eisenhower's request. he served as U.S. delegate to the U.N. General Assembly. ;ind in 1958 represented the United States at il UNESCO conference in Paris. In 1964 Lyndon Johnson became the first President in Ameri can history to personally address ;i national political conventio n and request that a speciflc man. Hubert Humphre y. be the party 's vice-presidential nominee. As vice-president. Humphrl' y . not only presided over the Senate, but also served as Chain,1an of the NAS Council. Chairman of the Peace Corps Advisory Council. Honorary Chairman of a Special Cabinet Task Force on Travel USA. member of National Security Council. member of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institute, and Ch11irman of a Cabinet Task Force on Youth Opportunity. Despite 1111 this he still fe els that the vice-presidency is " an unnatural role for an ;ictive politician."

Many coaches desired its return after a year's absence, saying that it was one of the most thrilling things for the fans . The committee, however, did not see it that way and voted to maintain the ban. Since the "stuff shot" was outlawed, injuries and damaged backboards have disappeared. A spokesman for the group said, "The majority con cluded that the no-dunk rule had no adverse effect on the game and statistics showed scoring had been up a little this past season from what it had been." I think most coaches will agree that the elimination of the dunk shot has given back to the game the value of the little man . The little man has proved of much value to the Wilkes cagers' success. Also at the meeting, a motion was voted down to raise baskets from 10 feet to 11 feet. Such a move was designed to eliminate interference calls. I agree with the committee that this wasn't necessary. The most far-reaching result of the meeting was the sanction of the use of three officials in a contest whenever opposing teams want them . The idea had been experimented with this year with favo rable results. The Big Ten used three officials in all league contests and found it beneficial. I feel that the use of three officials will upgrade the quality of the game. It will enable a better coverage of play on fast breaks and during full-court presses. In both situa tions officials are sometimes not able to be in good positions to view play. In that case either a foul is missed or one is called where there is no foul. Officials feel the number of fouls called in a game will be reduced because players will be more conscious of the officials and will be more careful. Three officials would benefit the College team . Bo Ryan , Jay Reimel and Bill Grick were called for many fouls this past season which they didn't commit, merely because they were in a position · which the referee could not see and in which a foul is usually committed. The trio is usually too fast for the officials. Several times they were called for traveling or for an interrupted dribble because it "appeared" that way. Had a third official been close to the scene there probably would have been no call. When I first contacted basketball Coach Ron Rainey for his opinion he said it would only be " one more official to yell at" but seriously he felt it would help the game. When asked whether he would have three officials at Wilkes games, Rainey stated that costs were prohibitive, but if the school can afford it he can see no reason why not. If any other school asked to use three officials in a contest against Wilkes Rainey said he would give his consent. Rainey, however, was not all pra ise for the idea . He stated that two good officials are sufficient but there are not enough of those around . He felt that three poor officials together would probably offset their deficiencies and call a good game, but no better than the two good ones. In a nationally televised game between Niagara and Villanova , three officials were used. On one occasion Niagara had six men on the floor. The teams went up and down the court twice before the officials noticed , so it is not a cure-all to have three officials. Rainey feels that within a few years it will probably become a mandatory rule . Then and now it will present a problem to small colleges like Wilkes - cost. The CBOA, the the national basketball officials organization, sets its rates according to school size - $30, $40, $50 and $60. Wilkes pays $30 per game per official plus traveling expenses. An additional official would be a burdensome cost on any school. including Wilkes. Also Mr. Rainey feels the ECAC would be hard-pressed to supply the needed officials. I spoke to a local CBOA official who had about the same to say as Coach Rainey. However, he felt that there were enough officials to cover the games. He explained that entrance into the CBOA ranks is a long, hard process but there are long lists of applicants . So probably if there were a greater demand for officials, they could be admitted. This doesn 't necessarily lower the quality, as quality is not now a requirement for membership. I think next year Wilkes should play a few games with three officials just to try it. They could make arrangements with Lycoming or Scranton, whom they play twice, with each team bearing the cost once. It might prove to be profitable. * * * More laurels were heaped on football and baseball Coach Rollie Schmidt when he was singled out by the area Knights of Columbus as College Coach of the Year. He re ceived a trophy at a dinner held in his honor last week. * The tennis team lived up to pre-season predictions when it soundly beat the University of Scranton, 9-0. To add to this, on Monday it also shut out a highly regarded King's squad, 9-0, in a scrimmage. So far this year, all the teams have finished with winning records and it looks like tennis will join the ranks. The tennis team opened its season with a 9-0 romp over the Univ ersity of Scra nton last S a turday a t the Ralston Field co urts. A ll nine matches, six sing les and th ree doubles, w ere won in two sets. T om Rokita and Carl M agagna turned in the most impressive scores, wi nni ng 6-2, 6-2 a nd 6-2, 6-0 respective ly.
