Wilkes welcomes Hampton
by Zig Pines
Once again the College, through the
direction of the Inter-Dormitory Council, welcomes its friends from Hampton
Institute, Hampton, Virginia. The 11year old tradition of an exchange of

ideas and individuals between the two
colleges began as a result of a cordial
relationship between two individuals
at graduate school - Dean Ralston of
Wilkes and Dean Hawkins of Hampton. As in the past, a busy agenda has

Circle K wms
Stale award
The Circle K Club of the College
attended the .seventh State Convention
since its acceptance at the College in
1961. At this year's convention, the
Club won two awards. For the second
year in a row, they were awarded the
Achievement Trophy. This award goes
to the Circle K Club in the state which
enga.ges in the most worthwhile projects. The other award which the club
received was for the best display. The
display was divided into four parts,
each part a panorama of the difkrC'nt
projects the club engaged in this past
year.
Nelson Smiles and Mike Petrillo
were elected district secretary and
li.-utenant governor of Division 5A,
respectively. The lieutenant governor
of each division must And out what
activities are planned by each club in
his district. He then forwards a report
to the district secretary, who must be
informed of the activities of all clubs
in the stnte. He, in · turn, makes a
national report.
In keeping -with a theme of service,
the club has b~en actively engaged in
projects which ; have been helpful to
the College and the community. This
past semester the club has participated
in Heart Fund, March of Dimes, Blood,
and Buck-A-Cup Drives. At the present time the club is selling candy to
help meet various expenses which arise
in the course of the ycnr.
The Circle K at Wilkes is the largest
in the state, and hopes to increase its
size in the upcoming 1968-69 school
year. The present officers of the club
are: president, George Pawlush; vicepresident, Richard Wetzel; treasurer,
Bill Brown; recording secretary, William Morris; and corresponding secretary, David Shevchuk.

heads are Cindy Lewis, invitations;
Sharon Tyson, refreshments; Georgianne Perlick, program; Ned Williams,
the Queen and her Court; and Alyse
Nackson, publicity.
Tom Kelly, chairman of the ticket
committee, has announced tickets are
$7 per couple and should be bought
or reserved at the bookstore no later
than April 30.

Official counting began this morning
of the ballots cast in the state primary
on Tuesday. The campaign in the
eleventh Congressional District, organized by Wilkes students four weeks
ago and manned by students from a
dozen colleges, but mostly from
Wilkes, King's, and Mi.sericordia, was
successful as of Tuesday night's unofficial count, in its attempt to elect
three delegates who will support Senator McCarthy at the Democratic National Convention: Mrs. Lea Csala,
Mr. Joseph Noterman, and Dr. Gerald
Perkus.
The campaign was co-chairmaned
by David Frey of the College, and Dr.
Gerald Perkus, of the College's English
department. Organizational assistance
was given by Lloyd Patross and Steve
Soter, both graduate students at Cornell, and Bonnie Hutsko, a sophomore
at the College. Other students who
played particularly important roles in
the campaign were Pat O'Donnell,

Mike Bentley, and Bob Caruso of
King·s, Mary Grace Duffy of Misericordia, and Nancy Leland, Ira Krupchick, and Katie Eastman of the College.
In addition to Wilkes, King's, Misericordia, and Cornell, some of the other
colleges represented in the local campaign included Vassar, Princeton,
Drexel. Luzerne County Community
College, Scranton University, Columbia, Ithaca, and Penn State.
The campaign was a defeat for the
regular Democrats, who failed to elect
two of their four candidates running
for delegates, and who could manage
only a dead man as an alternate.
Plans are now being formulated by
the campaign leaders to extend the student organization to take part in primaries in other states, to assist the
elected delegates in preparing for the
Democratic National Convention, and
in re-organizing for the general election in November.

been planned by the Wilkes hoots in
continuing the original goal of learning through mutual understanding, enjoyment, and exchange of ideas.
Yesterday, 16 students and two
chaperones arrived from Hampton to
the Wilkes campus and attended a private get-acquainted party in the new
cafeteria from 8 p.m. to I I p.m. Today
the Hamptonians will visit various
classes with their individual hosts.
There is a possibility that a special
tour of a local coal mine, Stegmaier
brewery, or of another local spot will
be conducted. Following the tour a
banquet will be held at the Spa at
6:30 p.m.
Saturday promises to be an active
day beginning with a picnic at Dr.
Farley's farm from 11 :30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., followed by an 8:15 p.m. performance of "A Raisin In the Sun·· at
the Center for the Performing Arts,
and ending with a coffee hour. Former Pennsylvania Governor William
Scranton, a friend of Wilkes College
and a member of Hampton's Board of
Trustees, has been extended an invitation to the picnic and may come this
weekend from a meeting at Hampton.
All dormitory accommodations and
scheduling of activities have been arranged by IDC under the direction of
its newly elected officers Bill Downey,
Caleb McKenzie, Ann Alumbaugh, and
Geor.ge Harrison.

''A Raisin in the Sun'' Opens
The setting for the play is an apartment on Chicago·s Southside "somewhere between World War II and
the Present." The Younger family has
received a $10,000 insurance check,
but most of it is lost before the Youngers' can invest it. That part which is
not lost is used as a down payment
on a house in Lindner's ··clybourne
Park," and this dream house is the
basis around which the action of the
play evolves, a growing process for
each member of the family.
The set for Raisin was desi.gned by
Bob Salsburg. The entire play takes
place inside the Youngers' apartment:
what the audience will see is a tiny,
cramped kitchen and a combination
living-room-dining-room. The kitchen,
tiny as it may be, is replete with a
working vintage refrigerator and a
sink with running water, which Mama
uses to nourish her precious plant also for real. The kitchen is done in
great detail, as is the rest of the set.
A preview performance of the play
was held last night for area high
school students. Regular performances
are:
Tonight, 8:15
Saturday, 8: 15
Sunday, 2:15
Sunday, 8:15
Anyone connected with the College,
on a student, faculty, or staff basis, is
entitled to one complimentary ticket.
Students presently attending any other
educational institution may obtain ticl&lt;ets at a cost of 50¢ while tickets are
available to the community for $1.25.
The box office is open from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. today and will be open one
hour before each performance. Reservations must be called for at least one
half hour prior to curtain time.

Timing could not be better for this
weekend's production of Lorraine
Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun. The
three-act play was written in 1958 and
received the New York Drama Critics'
Circle Award for the 1958-59 season.
The drama has survived its first decade with its impact intact. It is first
identified as a play about racial prejudice, currently emphasized by the
Report of the President's Commission
on Civil Disorders, more commonly
known as the Kerner Commission Report and by the tragedy of Martin
Luther King.
However, the merits of the play lie

not only in the fact that it is a play
about a Negro family; it is a deeply
moving play, one which deals with
life, and which has "taken into account
what hills and valleys" make up a
rnan·.s life, any man's, as Mama expresses it in Act III.
In the College's production of the
play, directed by Alfred S. Groh, Mama is portrayed by Judy Moshier, a
sophomore newcomer to the theater,
Walter Lee, "Brother," by Mel Wynn.
also a novice on the Center for the
Performing Arts stage, Ruth, Waltecr
Lee·s wife, by Liz Slaughter, and
Beneatha, "Benny," by Shirley Ellis.
Carroll Cobbs takes the part of George

Murchison, Ed Manda that of Asagai,
the African student, and the part of
Bobo is played by Doug Forde, also
appearing in his Arst role at the College. Travis, the son of Ruth and
Walter Lee Younger, is played by
two boys, Jimmy Chester and Tommy
Smithey; due to the greater demands
upon a grammar school student, this
part is divided by performances. David
Frey portrays Karl Lindner. who represents the heretofore all-white neighborhood into which the Younger family intends to move. The two moving
men are portrayed by Barron Mkwaila
and Francois Song , both appearing
brieffy in their initial roles on stage.

Editorial
The success of the McCarthy campaign in Luzerne County
indicates that the students of Wilkes College are just as capable
of constructive political activism as are students on any campus
in .th.e ..nation, for the campaign .was organized and directed by
Wilkes students. While credit must be given to students from
King's and Cornell, as well as a dozen other colleges, for the
roles they played in the campaign, there is little doubt that the
essential components of the campaign were obtained on the
Wilkes Campus.
The McCarthy campaign was something new for Wilkes in
both design and scope. Never before has a campus group set
out to obtain the election of a candidate, in this case three delegates to the Democratic National Convention . Never before have
so many students from the campus participated in an event that
they obtained absolutely no recognition for. There were no
credits given in any course for participation, though on election
day itself excused cuts were tacitly permitted.
Credit must be given to the many faculty members who
aided the campaign, for without their encouragement the students may never have gotten the campaign beyond the idea
stage. But without the encouragement of the students the faculty
members may very well have not been willing to participate.
It is not because the campaign was for Senator McCarthy
that we praise it, for if the campaign had been for Senator Kennedy, Mr. Nixon, President Johnson or any of a half dozen others
we would still be free with our praise, for the campaign itself
seems to have inspired all those who in some way came in contact with it. The local newspapers commented favorably on . it.
One of them contrasted it, in an editorial, to "the smoke-filled
back rooms" that are usually associated with normal campaigns.
But this was not a normal campaign. No one was paid, but
many volunteers put in as many as sixty or seventy hours in a
single week. No "boss" made decisions, but instead a group
of over a dozen students and adults sat around a plywood table
to discuss in detail their plans. There was never any talk of com promise. Ideals were stated and adhered too.
When the Rev. Dr. King was assassinated all the campaign
leaders, without exception, agreed that the headquarters should
temporarily close in tribute, even though the weekend could have
been used for important canvassing.
When President Johnson withdrew from the race only a
handful felt their job was completed and thought it best to leave
the campaign. But most of these came back before the end,
and for this they must be given additional credit, for they worked
in what they personally believed to be a lost cause.
And something must be said of the talent that went into the
campaign. There was not enough money to hire professionals,
so the students were forced to choose from among themselves
for their leadership and for their idea men. And leadership and
idea men there were aplenty. Perhaps never before in the history of the Valley were so many young adults assembled in one
organization and equipped with such talent. When it is con sidered that for the vast majority of the students practical politics was something unknown the amount of credit given to the
students must be increased, for it was not experience that made
the campaign a success. Nor was it money. Both of these quantities were sorely lacking.
The success of the campaign was a result of the imagination and the labor of the students. And of their idealism. For
they believed that something that had never been done on this
campus before could be done. And they did it.

Volume
conquers
plane
The right way to see the current exhibition. of many students taking art
courses, is through the eyes of others.
In this case the author's keen was
aided by three soul sisters who had
friendly eyes mostly for the ground
display of pottery. One sister found
the formality of their Versaille Gardens in the linear arrangement of
vases. Another thought that the placement prevented one from resolving the
group as a whole: one was forced to
concentrate on each individual pot. The
last sister felt that the pottery did not
reflect a sense of Art 101 as did some
of the other works.
Yet one should not rely completely
upon the view of others. Otherwise
one would not know of the triptycks
of Joe Stallone and others. There were
also many exercises in the drawing
of chairs in many positions; among
these was one whose legs seem to project from the papers. The three soul
sisters agreed with the author in the
quality of two acrylic paintings. Also
technically one might be pleased with
the fashion of broad strokes found in
large paintings of figures.
This potpourri of the products of
many students is a chance appearance
of an inert, random organism whose
family was thought extinct at the
school. This display offers a large
number of students the chance to present relatively inadequate works to
many people.

The Institute of International Education will officially open its competition for 1969-70 United States Government and foreign .graduate grants for
academic study or research abroad,
and for professional training in the
creative and performing arts on May 1.
Under these programs, more than
950 Amerk.an graduate students will
have an opportunity to study in any
one of 50 countries. The purpose of
the grants is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the
US and other countries through the
exchange of persons, knowledge, and
skills.
Candidates who wish to apply for
an award must be a citizen of the US,
have a bachelor's degree or its equivalent before the beginning date of the
grant and, in most cases, be proficient
in the language of the host country.
A full award will provide a grant
with tuition, maintenance for one academic year in one country, round-trip
transportation, health and accident insurance and an incidental allowance.
Application forms and information
may be obtained from the campus Fulbright Adviser, Dr. Stanko M. Vujica.
The deadline for filing applications
through the Fulbright Adviser Ls October 20, 1968. Dr. Vujica may be contacted at his office in Room 106 in
Stark Hall.

THE

Constitution completed
It was announced at the last SG
meeting that the new constitution has
been completed. It was pr~sented to
the Administrative Council on Tuesday
and to SG on Wednesday. The convention expects to hear on approval or
disapproval by April 30.
If the constitution is approved there
will be a vote for ratification on May
6. A campaign will precede the referendum during which copies of the constitution will be available to the student body for its perusal. If the constitution is ratified on the sixth, SG
will nominate the candidates for president that night.
The following day, May 7, the
classes will meet to nominate class
officers and senators for SG. The allschool election is scheduled for May
10. With this schedule, new SG officers
will have a week to organize and formulate policies before classes end.
A Byer sent out by JDC to publicize
dorm party was brought to the attention of SG because it stated that SG
affairs were "Bops." SG sent a letter
of reprimand to the JDC president and
unless a formal apology is received,
JDC will not be granted any activity
dates for next year. SG decided upon
this action because JDC come.s under
SG and such remarks as the one that
appeared on the Byer tend to undermine the prestige of the governing
body of the College.
Marc Hoffman and Jean Marie Chapasko reported that the Heart Fund
dance, a cooperative effort of Wilkes
and King's, raised over $830 for the
fund. Receipts for the entire campaign
were approximately $2,000 and dorm
students
contributed
almost $80
through private dorm solicitation.
On Tuesday, the student body went
to the polls and voted for Cinderella
Ball queen semi-finalists. At the same

time, students had a chance to participate in "Choice 68," the first national collegiate presidential primary. The
primary is co-sponsored by Time Magazine and the Univac Division of Sperry Rand Corporation. A turnout of
over two million studenl's, representIng more than 75 per cent of the nation's total college enrollment, is anticipated.
The basic data on the ballot shows
the voter's age and party ; whether he
is a foreign student; his first, second,
and third choices for preisident among
13 listed candidates plus write-ins; the
course of action which he believes the
US should pursue in regard to her
military forces in Vietnam ; the course
of action which she should pursue regarding the bombing of North Vietnam; and the area of government
spending which should receive highest
priority to meet the urban crisis.
From about two million ballots, a
computer will tabulate percentages of
first, second, and third choice votes for
each candidate, and the percentage of
students favoring each course of action
under the three referendum questions.
It has also been programmed to compare the first choice voting for rnndidates with the voting on each issue,
showing, for instance, how many students indicating Senator Eugene McCarthy as their first choice also favor
immediate withdrawal of US forces.

The 1108, as the computer is called,
will further analyze the voting by age
groups, party, religion, and type of
school, and will show the exact number of votes for each of 1,872 possible
combinations of first, second, and third
choices. Over 70 per cent of students
expressing their preference in "Choice
68" are expected to be under the minimum legal voting age of 21.

Spring is sprung, etc.
Spring comes to the Wilkes Campus
and the signs are everywhere. The
Honda's buzz is heard throughout the
land. the smell of Bowers is in the air
and it mixes gently with the fragrance
of oil being expelled by two stroke
cycle engines. Valley slicks careen
merrily around the square in their shot
down "hot cars" trying to impress
everyone. The more traditional loving
student can get his jollies at the "Disneyland and Mini-National Park of
Greater Wilkes-Barre,"
otherwise
known as "The Commons." Here the
student can get far away from the
drab halls of the college "acadamia"
(if you think the halls aren't really
that darn drab, you must not have any
classes in Conyngham Hall; in fact
he or she can get as far away as one
half a block.
Many fascinating activities and
games take place on the green grass
( color choice in grass is, as always,
extremely limited). Student Government had plans afoot to have the grass
removed and have it replaced with
Blue and Gold carpeting but someone
pointed out the fact that the River
Common was actually not under their
jurisdiction. SG is reportedly setting
up a committee to co-ordinate actions
and communications between SG, the
city of Wilkes-Barre, and Mother Nature (an adament old crank at best).
An additional problem under consideration is how the carpet will be attached
to the earth; any interested students
are asked to contact their Student
Government representative who will
supply them with necessary blueprints
and carpet tacks.
Mr. Tymchyshyn, of the art department, has stated that the trees on
the commons are "visually pretty awful " and he has volunteered to replace
them with aluminum stabiles of a nonobjective nature. He pointed out the
advantages of aluminum over convention wood trees , their general lack of
bugs, short root structure, etc. Wilkes.,

these suggestions is that they may rid

BEACON

Tennis Team lakes two
by Chuck Lengle
The US Golf Association should be hanging their heads
in shame for what happened in Augusta, Georgia, last weekend. All the avid fans in the gallery and the millions watching on television knew Roberto DeVicenzo had shot a beautiful birdie three on the seventeenth hole and had finished
the final round with a sensational 65 and a clubhouse lead
with other leading contenders still on the course.
The gentleman from Argentina was celebrating his fortyfifth birthday and his dynamic style had captured the hearts
of golfing America. Another typical success story in sports
was about to happen - almost.
It was later discovered that DeVicenzo, in the midst of
his spectacular achievement, had signed a scorecard which
gave him a par four on the seventeenth and not a three thus giving him a final round score of 66 and a score ten
below par. One instant DeVicenzo was tied for the lead and
the next minute he was forced to settle for second place
DeVicenzo received this greeting from one of the officials,
"Sorry, but you're not tied for the lead with Bob Goal by and
you will not be involved in a playoff for the Masters title."
SORRY?
How could such a disastrous event ring down the curtain on such a great tournament as the Masters? The answer
is simple: the good book - the book entitled Rules of Golf
- USGA. Its pages dictate all golfing regulations, penalties, etc.
There is just one notable ommission in all of its fine
print the one cardinal rule which takes precedence
over all others - the rule of reason. The rule reads: "After
each hole, the marker shall check the score with the competitor. On completion of the round, the marker shall sign
the card and hand it to the competitor. (In this case Tommy
Aaron, his playing partner, was the marker just as DeVicenzo was the marker for Aaron). If a competitor returns a
score for any hole lower than actually played, he shall be
disqualified. A score higher must stand as returned."
There were several high-ranking officials seated at the
scoring table. Not one of those officials bothered to check
DeVicenzo's card. Not one offered any assistance.
Roberto DeVicenzo, emotionally exhausted and yet
thrilled, signed away a chance at the $20,000 prize which
goes to the winner, the green coat that serves as a lifetime
pass into the tournament, and all the fringe benefits that
accrue to a Masters champion.
DeVicenzo lost - no doubt about that, but worse was
the loss of respect and prestige which golf suffered.
I feel that it would be a simple thing for a tournament
to provide an official scorer. If this is deemed impossible,
at least the golfer should be escorted to the scoring table
and given time, and assistance in checking his card thoroughly. There is enough stress and responsibility for an
individual to play four rounds of championship golf, be
forced to keep count of his strokes and those of his partner,
then have to attest to them.
Today Roberto DeVicenzo can view the "Augusta Fiasco"
and attribute it to one thing - human error. DeVicenzo
paid for his mistake dearly, but in the process he won the
hearts of all the golfing fans across the world.

We would like to congratulate Andy Matviak, John Marfia, and Barry Gold for their fine showings in the recent
Binghamton Boys Club Wrestling Tournament. Matviak won
first place honors in the 130-pound class, disposing of four
opponents on the way. John Marfia finished third in a tough
137-pound division. Gold pinned his way to the championship in the 191-pound division. The Colonel senior flattened
both his opponents under the one-minute mark.

Five talented incoming Freshmen basketball players
have coach Ron Rainey anxiously awaiting next season's
hoop sport. Heading the list of Colonel hopefuls is St.
Vincent's star Tom Kennedy, who was considered by many
as the best all-around player in the area. The 6'2" Vinnie
topped the coveted 1,000 point mark in his high school
career and compiled a 28.1 average in his senior year.
Kennedy was honored with the Most Valuable Player award
in the Catholic League.
Lebanon High's Ted Frey will also bring impressive
credentials to the College. Frey's consistent scoring and
rebounding were responsible for his selection to the AllCentral Pennsylvania League team. At 6'3", Frey has all the
moves to develop into a Colonel standout.
Charlie Wetzel and Ted Sokoloski will adequately represent Nanticoke's District 2 champions. Both boys played
a major role in the Trojans' drive for state championship
honors. Wetzel compiled a 17.9 scoring average this past
season and was chosen Most Valuable Player on the Wyoming Valley League. The 6'2" southpaw possesses an
accurate jump shot and also hits the boards well. Sokoloski, speedy guard who served as the Trojans' chief ballhandler and playmaker, will vie for a guard's spot.
Bill Grick and Jay Reimel will be joined by ex-Montrose
High teammate Dave Kurosky. Kurosky stands 6'4" and is
capable of working both inside and in the corner. He has
been a vital performer on recent Montrose championship
squads demonstrating excellent rebounding ability and a
fine shooting eye.
This quartet will be combined with more returning
lettermen from this year's successful Colonel squad to give
coach Rainey a well-balanced squad. Competition will be
keen on the College hardwoods and undoubtedly coach
Rainey will be faced with many problems - the kind every
coach welcomes with open arms.

The Colonel netmen were victorious
over Ursinus and Hartwick in last
week's action only to suffer their initial loss of the season to Rider on
Thursday. Coach Tom MacFarland 's
crew ran their winning streak to four
before tasting defeat on the home
courts. The locals defeated Ursinus,
5½-3½, and Hartwick, 6-3, on successive days before bowing 7-2.
The long vacation layoff took its toll
on both teams in the Ursinus encounter
as both squads appeared sluggish at
times. Coach MacFarland was forced
to juggle his lineup when regular Carl
Magagna injured his right hand.
Co-captains Tom Rokita and Danny
Klem started the locals on the winning
path with wins over Ron Teitjin and
Milt Jackson. Rokita was troubled with
the visiting captain's backhand before
prevailing in straight sets, 6-4. 6-4.
Klem used power in disposing of Jack son in straight sets, 6-0, 6-2.
Dave Winitz had his hands full with
Bob Magel before winning, 11-9, 6-4.
Both Winitz and Magel held their
serves well as endurance provided the
Colonel sophomore with his third successive win. Bill Tarbart's hustle and
aggressiveness were the main factors
in his 6-2, 6-2, conquest over Rick
Gibbons.
Doug Valantee and Dave Jacob
then resumed a high school rivalry in
the fifth match. Playing for Phoenix ville High last year Valantee easily
defeated Jacob, then representing
Pottsgrove High School. Jacob reversed the tables and defeated the
Colonel freshman, 3-6, 6-1, and 6-3.
Senior John Sheldon was pressed into
singles action because of Magagna's
injury and was defeated by Ed Lodge
5-6, 10-8, 8-6 in the day's marathan
match.
The two teams halved the doubles
play when the third match was called
because of darkness. Rokita and Klem
defeated Teitjin and Magel in three
sets 6-4. 3-6. 6-1. Gibbons and Jenkin son defeated Ron Piskorik and Bruce

Rankins in straight sets 10-8. 8-6, to
give the Bears their third point. Tarbart and Valantee halved with Lodge
and Jacob in the finals 6-4. 2-3.
A sweep in the doubles action provided the Colonels with their 6-3 de cision over visiting Hartwick College
and their second win in as many days.
The match-play was extremely close
as tempers Hared throughout the afternoon.
Tom Rokita and Danny Klem. starting to show their mid-season form,
swept the Arst two matches to give the
Wilkes squad a 2-0 lead. Rokita eliminated Neal McClelland in straight
sets 7-5, 6-1. with well-placed returns.
Klem ·s smashing serves and base-line
shots proved too much for Hartwick
sophomore Jon Gould. Klem garnered
his fourth victory in straight sets
6-1. 6-2.
Freshma n Chuck Watkins surprised
Dave Winitz with a determined, steady
performance in the third set and conquered the Wilkes sophomore 4-6, 8-6,
''-6. Bob Zurhellen then disposed of
Bill Tarbart 6-4, 6-1. in straight sets
as the Colonel sophomore showed
signs of tiredness, and could not cope
with the wind problem. Hartwick took
the lead for the first time at 3-2 when
Bob Krimer defeated Bruce Rankins
6-1, 6-2 in the Afth match. Doug Valentee regained his steady game and
defeated Hartwick captain Andy
Leighton 7-5. 6-1.
With their backs against the wall
and the score tied 3-3, the Colonel
doubles teams ran their visitors off the
court by sweeping all three events.
Rokita and Klem had little trouble
with Gould and Watkins 6- 1. 6-2. John
Sheldon teamed with Rankins to defeat
Zurhellen and Leighton 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
Tarbart and Winitz {lained revenge
for their losses in singles action by defeating McClelland and Steve Draper
8-6. 6-4.
Undefeated Rider College ( 10-0)
overwhelmed the Colonels late Tuesday afternoon by a 7-2 count. The lo-

cals collected their only points in singles action as Rokita and Klem continued their winning ways. Rokita was
extended to three sets before gaining
victory and Klem easily defeated his
opponent enroute to his fifth straight
victory.
According to coach McFarland,
"Rider is definitely the toughest team
we'll see this year. They are undefeated in ten matches and have beaten
American University, Temple, and
Catholic University, among others."
The netmen will attempt to regain
their winning form tomorrow afternoon when they travel to Selinsgrove
to tangle with Susquehanna University. The Colonels will resume home
court action next Wednesday when
they entertain Muhlenbur.g College.

Co-captain Tom Rokita displays
championship form as he returns a
volley in last week's action against
Hartwick College. The senior netman defeated Neal McClelland in
straight sets, 7-5, 6-1.

It was unethical because Student Government violated its
own commitment to adhere to the constitution. Such a commit­

A law is a law, no matter if it is impractical or wrong, and as such,
must be adhered to until it is replaced.

A new SG constitution will be adopted sometime next year,
not this year as originally planned. Perhaps SG’s basic fault is
twofold: the original April 1 date for completion of the new constitution was recognizably an unreasonable deadline in view of
the tremendous amount of work SG strove to accomplish; secondly. SG foolishly predicated all its work, including the delay

Thc Tech men committed five errors
in the nine-inning affair which opened
thc door for Coach Rollic Schmidt s
squad. The Colonel bats were cracking
all afternoon as thc locals collected 10
hits, four good for extra bases. Carl
Cook led the hitting parade with two
hits in three official times at bat. Thc
high-scoring game afforded Conch
Schmidt the opportunity to juggle his
lineup, as 15 Colonels saw action.

On Monday, thc Colonels traveled
to Collegeville and conquered thc
Bears by a 4-0 count. The strong arm
of Charlie Fick held thc host team to
four hits in racking up his second win
of toccata.
Shortstop Pat Salantri opened the
scoring in the first inning by clouting
a home nin over the left field fence.
Fick and Ursinus’ starting pitcher
Steve Spaid were locked in a pitching
duel until thc sixth when the locals
collected their second score. Carl Cook
knocked in the run with a slashing
double to right field. Mike Williams
and John Ladomirak came through
with hits in the eighth to push two
more runs across thc plate.

Administrative Council
OK's $26,500 Budget
The Administrative Council, in a pre-holiday session, gave its approval to a $26,500
budget request to cover 1968-69 extra curricular activities on the Campus.
The bid for funds was submitted by the Student Government 's Extra-Curricular Activiti es Budget Committee through its treasurer, Ben Lodeski.
It marked the first time in a long period that Lhe en tire sum req ues ted by the budget

Christmas Formal
Dinner-Dante Slated
On Friday, December 13, the
Christmas Formal Dinner-Dance
will be held at the Mayfair Supper
Club in Yatesville on Route 315 on
the Wilkes-Barre - Dupont Highwa y.
This a ffair is sponsored annuall y
b y the Lette rm en's Club, for the entertainment of the entire student
body.
The Club is emphasizing that this
is an open affair, which the Lettermen sponsor as a service project.

2nd Career-In
Scheduled For
December 26-21
The Industrial Relations Association of Bergen Count y, New Jers ey,
has announced its second annual
" Career-In" to b e held December
26 and 27 at the Marriott Motor Hotel at the intersection of Route 80
and the Garden State Parkway.
The idea behind the "Career-In"
is to bring together college seniors
and graduates and corporate recruitors under one roof. This year,
over 90 national companies will be
on hand to interview an anticipated
2,000 college seniors and graduates
home for Christmas vacation. Last
year 56 major companies participated, interviewing more than 1,400
interested young men and women.
Records of the Industrial Relations Association indicate that in
1967 the average student participated in as many as ten corporate
interviews. One ambitious student
managed 27, which made him high
man for the year.
Officials of the IRA further stated
that they are earnestly seeking the
aid of College Placement Personnel
in this effort, since the "Career-In"
offers an additional outlet to oncampus recruitment activities in the
placement of college seniors and
graduates.

The tickets are $3.50, w hich includes a ful) meal. Music will be
provided by James De Luca and his
orchestra.
Angelo Loverro is the chairman
of the formal, Bruce Comstock is
in charge of invitations, and Joe
Wiendl is handling the ticket arrangements. In charge of publicity
a re Lettermen Mike Babuschak, Jim
Loveland, and Carl Cook; Jerry
Moser and Les Loveland have been
planning the decorations for the
event. Jo e Frappoli is president of
the club while Dan MalJoy serves
as vice-president.
Students are being offered a special rate of $7 for formal wear at
Baum's Tux Rental on Northampton Street. Men will not be required to buy flowers for their
dates beca us e they will be provided
as favors.
The faculty is invited b y the Lettermen to attend free of charge.
The affair will last from 7:30 to 1
a.m.; tickets can be obtained from
any Letterman or from Millie Gittens at the Bookstore.
Angelo Loverro stressed that this
is an open affair. He urges m en to
a ttend for "they can attend for the
price of $10.50, the cost of the ticket and tux rental. One does not
need to buy a corsage or take a
girl to dinner because th e meal is
being provided ."

Textbook Roulette
With barely three weeks of classes left, thoughts of a new
semester bring thoughts of new textbooks. Accompanying this
textbook turnover is a bill of $50-75 more dollars to be spent
on second semester's books, while this term's texts, no longer
needed, are permanently banished to shelves to collect dust.

Gold Maehine
Dear Edit or:
Once upon a crisp fall afternoon
in 1823, at Rugby, England , during
an interclass game, a young player
became so thwarted by his inability to kick the oval ball that he
scooped it up from the ground and
ran with it. This sprint-born-ofself-dissatisfaction was the ancestor of American football.

Previous attempts to buy unwanted books from students
have been only partially successful. Index cards on Campus
bulletin boards are basically ineffective and leave a lot to be
desired. The Bookstore is unable to buy back used texts for
resale due to lack of space and the increasing tendency of fac- Though in that day and age the
action was considered illegal, no

one could fail to recognize, in any
For over a year, once a semester, Follett has been on Campus in the Bookstore to purchase students' unwanted books.
However, the effects of depreciation were more than obvious
as students were given only a couple of dollars for hardbacks
which had originally cost four or five times that amount.

age at all, the singleness of purpose
that was required to perform it.
Some decades later, the "illegality"
had not only been translated into
autumn weekends shared by thousands who gathered to watch and
shout encouragement, but had also
begun to develop a new athletic
category whose members would
easily qualify as America's most
valiant sportsmen.

Despite their retail value, paperbacks were worth only
ten or twenty cents and it seemed as though only a privileged
few books were given a fair trade-in value. These were mainly
late published, hardback, science books in excellent condition.
We are just 12 months short of
observing the centennial of AmerThat does an English major a lot of good.
Undoubtedly, many students would have liked to have
gotten in on Follett's book bargains, for while last year's History 101 book is relatively useless to a science major who took
it as a required survey course, a history major would probably
jump at a chance to get a copy of the book at a fraction of its
published price.
Something should be done to make this- possible. We feel
that a student-operated book exchange at Wilkes, enabling
students to sell or trade books to each other, thereby keeping
the money and knowledge at home, is feasible if (and this is
the main problem to be solved) students are interested enough
to work.

Campus Woman
by Kathy Kopetchne
Perfumes have been used by women for thousands of years and
probably always will be. Perfume jars have been found in the tombs of
ancient Egypt, and in the days of Columbus the ships that brought spices
from the East also brought perfume.
But the world of fragrance is not confined to women alone. Men
have been using some type of perfumery for a long time, but until recently the market was limited in men's toiletries. Just a few years ago,
men's toiletries were bought almost exclusively by women as gifts. Now
a wide variety of fragrances is offered to the male with advertisements
on television and in magazines to help him select his fragrance.
For men, spray cologne and cologne concentrates are a favorite .
They are easy to apply, can' t evaporate, and are practical for travel. Of
course, there is always the after-shave lotion. These lotions have a bracing scent and can be used as an astringent to close the pores and give a ·
refreshing sensation to the skin. Also there are after-shave balms to
lubricate the skin and after-shave foams to soothe. The male also has
his choice of an after-shave refresher or spray-on talcum.
For the woman, there has always been a variety for her from which
to choose. Fragrance is available in many forms such as bath gels, sprayon bath powders, perfumed bath oil, and friction lotions. Spray colognes
and perfumes are popular and are a fast, efficient way to surround herself with a mist of fragrance. Purse-size perfume sprays are convenient
because they take up almost no room in a pocketbook.
How perfume is used is a personal matter. It is up to the wearer to
decide if she wants one "signature" scent or to have several favorites
which she can switch to suit her moods.

As for arrangements, all that need be done is reserve the
auditorium, solicit books, asking the student how much he
wants to sell or barter them for, and then display the literature,
perhaps charging a small commission for each transaction. Details can be worked out by the sponsoring club.

REVIEW
On Monday night, the Manuscript
Society, in its continuing effort to
bring better films to the Wilkes
Campus, brought to a mini- c rowd
Chekhov 's "The Lady and the Dog. "
A classic Russian film , " Lady " most
e ff ectively showed the difference in
acting techniques between American actors and their Russian counterparts.
The actors were unknown, for
their nam es appeared only in Russian in the opening credits, but
their mastery of the acting art was
eddent throughout. Most likely the
actors were trained at the Moscow
Art Theatre, perhaps by the great
Sta nislavski himself, for their facial
ex pressions and body movements

its Russian winter and sleighbells,
"The Lady and the Dog" provided

Double Your Pleasure
Witl,NewBeatlesAlbum
by Dudley Brown
For the past two weeks, a couple of million Americans have been
making upwards of two dozen new friends, as they've become acquainted with the extremely warm and affectionate music in the generous two-record album, "The Beatles." While not as uniformly perfect as
"Rubber Soul," "Revolver," "Sgt. Pepper," or even "Mystery Tour," the
album contains at least three sides of fine songs, and has already become a part of musical history, partly because it is, in itself, a miniature
history of recent pop music.
Following instead of leading this time, the Beatles have latched on
to and summarized one of 1968's main movements, partly triggered by
Bob Dylan's trend-setting "John Wesley Harding." Eschewing most electronic or psychedelic gimmicks, the group returns to basic, simple, oldfashioned rock and roll music, most of which can be performed "live."
A third of the songs , in fact, are benign imitations and gentle parodies
of the great stars who developed rock music, making possible the Beatles
and everyone since.
From the first note on side 1, you know you're back in 1955, for
"Back in the U.S.S.R." invokes the raucous, percussive voice and guitar
of Chuck Berry. fit's no coincidence that one of Berry's hits was called
"Back in the U.S.A.") This song segues smoothly into a sunny Beach
Boys surf sound.
The roots of rock are further explored in such numbers as "Birthday" (with touches of Roy Orbison , Buddy Holly, and Jerry Lee Lewis),
" Don't Pass Me By" (Everly Bros.), in the slowed-down "Revolution,"
with its 50's "do-wop" mumblings , and in "Everybody's Got Something
to Hide," recalling the Major Lance-Smokey Robinson "Monkey" hits.
The Beatles also summarize their own recent career in the relatively
boring "Glass Onion. "
Three selections are strange combina tions of past and present.
"Happiness is a Warm Gun," a harsh, psychedelic satire, ends with more
of those 1950's " oldies but goodies" group sounds. "Helter-Skelter" begins with Presley-type freneticism and concludes with a "Destruction"
Act a la Jimi Hendrix. And " Yer Blues " is even more startling in its
Presley derivation [the lonel y shouts sound just like " Heartbreak Hote l"). while managin g to quote Bob Dylan .
Besides thanking the he roes of early rock, The Beatles cover other
n111sical hases as we ll. This album contains far le ss of the BarooueClassical arrangements which graced " Yesterday," " In My Life ," " Eleanor Rigby," etc., yet these influences are still evident on "Martha My
Dear" and, incongruously, on "Piggies."
Country music gets its innings on the delightful , pseudo-saloon ballad . " Rockv Raccoon," and on "Don' t Pass Me By," while " Hone y Pie"
is the Beatles' comment on the corny, 1920's megaphone-music revived
in " Winchester Cathedral."
In a recent " Rollin g Stone " inte rview, John Lennon comments that
the Beatles have been influenced by nearly everything that 's gone on in
music. So it seems that they 've chosen this album in which to catalogue
and pay tribute to almost everyone who inspired them, or who paved
th e way.
The words of these songs re-confirm one theory I've alwavs had
about the Beatles: we should not take them too seriously ; most of their
lv rics are tongue-in-cheek or deliberately silly. Humor is a cornerstone
of the Beatles ' world view, and critics who don't realize that "there's
nothin g to ~et hung about" betray their own pomposity and pretension.
On a ll but a few of these songs, then, the Beatles' words either satirize old rock cliches, especially in the primitive directness of "Why
Don ' t We Do It in the Road ," or defy seriousness by suddenly unde r~uttin g the storv line with silliness. For instance, the powerful and pretty tunes of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Don't Pass Me By "

HEARD FROM THE HERD
SUSQUEHANNA
Susquehanna University is about to place a student, with voting
rights, on the University's board of directors . The Crusader, newspaper
of Susquehanna, gave its support to Richard Nixon . The idea of an
" honor dorm" at Susquehanna is somewhat different from here at
Wilkes. In these dorms, which are open to all seniors, girls cook their
own food , establish their own rules and keep their own hours.

TEMPLE
Temple University spo nsored a three-hour " teach-in " on draft history and problems.
ELIZABETHTOWN
Elizabethtown College is considering establishing a coffee house,
open at night for students. Some people at Elizabethtown are disturbed
because unlimited cuts are not allowed .
ST. ELIZABETH AND MOUNT ST. SCHOLASTICA
The College of Saint Elizabeth and Mount St. Scholastica College
for Women, two small Catholic women's schools, have entirely eliminated their dres s codes. Their women now have complete freedom of
choice concerning their dress.
are laced with occasional nonsense . The silly symlolism of " Piggies " is
ironically juxtaposed with the pompous arrangement.
Since most of these songs were written in India, they reflect the
Beatles' concern with peace ; "Bungalo Bill " and the much-discussed
"Revolution" knock violence. And, through their generally humorou s
(sometime child-like) approach, the Beatles seem to tell people to forget
their hang-ups, and "Don't mak e it bad ... Take a sad song and mak e
it better."
This light-hearted apprt,ach is epitomized by th e little ep ic, "ObLa-Di, Ob-La-Da," a bit of idyllic nonsense which has some of the happiest words and music ever written. This irresistible opus, to me, shows
us perfectly what the Beatles feel in 1968: in a world of " Piggies" and
" Revolutions," life still "goes on" and is a ball.
Only a few of the 30 cuts allow for any kind of seriousness. and
thes e, as usual, are the warm and fragile ballads. On "Mother Nature 's
Son," "Julia" (supposedly dedicated to Paul's mother) , "Blackbirds," .; I
Will ," and (perhaps) " Dear Prudence, " the foursome presents a gentle,
trance-like, sometimes be atific mood of pure love and innocence, lacking the usual irony or nonse ns e.
It see ms to me that a few of these tunes are dull (" Glass Onion, "
" Savoy Truffle," " Cry Baby Cry"), or downright unpleasant (" Happiness
1~ A Warm Gun") . But th e album 's biggest flaw occurs near the end, in
"Revolution #9." I've never believed in non-music on a rock album and
most listeners will probably not play this eight-minute waste after on e
hearing. Like the old people's voices on Simon and Garfunkel's brillian t
"Bookends, " this item is superfluous, its ant i-vio le nc e point alread~,
made, forcefully, in the music. It's especially anno ying when you think
th at this spare could hav e been used for "Hey Jude."
The jarring effect of this noise is juxtaposed alongside the se re ne
mood of the album 's close r, " Good Night," a lullaby so soothing, so
lvrica l that we must realize that it is its own satire on sentimental.
~asy-listening " slush" music. It's probably meant as an ironic comment,
inviting peace when the previous track suggested that peace is impossib le. But since we all skip " Revolution #9" anyway, it comes merely
as the Beatles' final reassurance to us that their world vision is among
the most benign ones on the sce ne. For most of you, it should be the
final incentive (if one's still needed) to forget the other two albums
you intended to buy, and get this, instead.

THE BEACON

Nch

ARMER
Wilkes College football loses 18 seniors via the graduation route
in 1969, 15 of whom were members of starting teams. Cause for
alarm? Maybe. I want to remind all doubters that the Colonels of
1969 will not be patsies - they will not concede the Northern Division crown of the Middle Atlantic Conference and they will not be
victims of any onslaught. Returning lettermen should numb er 40 and
that's enough to make any college coach drool.
From a personal vie w, Jet's take a look
at my Colonel line-up for next year. I must
admit that I took advantage of the versatility regulation which states, "A good foot ball playe r may be moved from one position
to another." On the offensive eleven: th e
backfield will consist of Joe Zakowski at th e
helm, looking for his first healthy s eason in
a Colonel uniform ; Ted Yeager will man his
familiar tail-b ack post aga in - the mightymite from Catawissa rush ed for 577 yards
a nd a 4.4 avera ge per carry in his first collegiate season , nothing but laurels from here
out: Bob Genarro will replace Vince Yarm el
Chuck Lengle
at th e fullback spo t - Genarro is a proven
block-buster who can turn on the speed when he gets in th e open ;
Stan Zientek will play flanker - the "fire-plug" (5'8", 190) has a good
pair of hands and much determination. Backing up these four will be
Al Farnetti, a speedster from Binghamton , New York , who thrives on
contact and Dave Kaschak , this year's kicking specia list who des erves
a shot at a running position.
Up front, providing the protection will be : Barry Davenport at
tight e nd, - the ex-flanker blocks with vigilance and has a great pair
of h ands; Bill Lazor will be given the almost-impossible task of filling Joe Skvarla's spot at split end. Returning le tterman Ed Burke,
one of the mainsta ys of this y ear's squad ; Dave Mitchell, and Nate
Eustis will vie for the tackle berths. All thre e top the 210 mark and
all are accomplished blockers. Les Loveland will la y claim to one
guard position while John Chaump, John Baranowski, and Bernie
Malian will battle for the other spot. Al Kenney will line up over the
ball, getting his first " real" chance at a starting berth.
Well, that takes care of the offense. Now, for the famous defensive platoon which will lose nine of eleven starters. Memori es of
the "flagrant four" will linger in the hearts of Colonel fans for many
seasons to come. The quartet, playing two a nd one-half s easons together, consisted of Paul Merill, Joe Koterba, John Howe, and Bill
Layden. Trying to replace these graduates will be: John Williamson
and Charlie Fick at the end slots and John Mazur and George Conway
at the tackles. These four men rank with any when it comes to
strength, tackling, pursuit, and ability. The only ingredient which may
be lacking would be experience - and , even that would come with
time! Together, this group tips the scale in the vicinity of one-half
ton . Competition for a line-backer position should be the highli ght
of the pre-season drills. Jim Loveland and Pat Malloy will lead the
contingent- both off great 1968 performances. Malloy placed second
in interceptions this year and should be even more devas tating w ith
a year's experience und er his belt. Loveland placed fourth in total
ta ckles and assists in his initial year of varsity play. Trying to replace
P. J. Kan e and Mike Connolly will be a major task - in th e thick of
things should be Tony Cardinale, Harr y Hoover, Charlie Graziano,
and Ron Hillard. The men who w ill line up as defensive backs in '69
will be Gerry Moser, Fred Harkins, and Lenny Maree. This department could pose the biggest problem but both Harkins and Moser
are experienced veterans. Both have speed and possess natural savvy
and tackling ability. Maree is a jumping-jack who learned much in
his first attempt at college ball. Or course, Jay Hollida y, Dann y Mallo y, and Joe Wiendl leav e big shoes to b e fill ed.

New Coacl,
Appointed To
Aid Colonels
by Rick Bigelow
The most recent addition to the
College coaching fraternity is John
Bujnowski. Bujnowski has been appointed ass istant basketball coach
- th e new mentor will coach the
fledgling Colonels and also lend a
hand to Ron Rain e y with the varsity dribblers .

JOHN BUJNOWSKI
Co ach Bujnowski, a 1964 graduate
of King 's College, brings a w ealth
of basketball experience to th e cage
team - he has held coaching positions at Woodbridge Township
High School in New Jersey and also
loca ll y a t Hanover Township High
School. Bujnowski was a member
of th e Monarch varsit y for thre e
years and also served as captain in
his senior year.
Coach Rainey had the followin g
comment lo offer concerning his
new assistant: "John 's past experie nce and ability will definitel y be
an asset to th e basketball team. He
is familiar with the syst em w e us e
and has stepped in nicely. This ma y
ve ry w ell be the fine s t jayvee squad
the s chool has eve r see n ." Raine y
also added jokingly, " Who knows ,
mayb e we'll give him a uniform before th e year is over. "
Coach Bujnowski has been drilling his charges since October 15
a nd is generall y pleased with th e
te am's showin g. " W e h eld King 's
frosh for almost 30 minutes a nd th e
boys pla yed re a l hard ball. We
need a lot of work in spots, but th e
enthusiasm and desire is abund a nt.
We'll employ the same type of
game the va rs ity uses and I think
the results should be a winner for
bo th squads."
Working out with th e jayvee
squad are : Rick Bigelow, Bruce Brier, Larry Burnetski, Charlie Fazio ,
Jim Hanak, Frank Januzzi, Terry
Jones, and Malcolm Lumsden

by Ken Young, Swimming Coach

Swimmers seem to come and go
at Wilkes College. One year the
team is strong in the feature events
and another year it is strong in free
style. The 1968-69 season seems to
point in favor of the free-style
events .
Wilkes is quite fortunat e to practice at the YMCA pool. However,
things are expected to change soon
as plans are being dra fted for the
building of its own plant.
This ye ar's schedule has bee n expand e d to include 11 meets. In previous year the team us ually participated in only s even contests. New
teams added ar e : Bloomsburg, Harpur, and Philadelphi a Textil e. The
Coll ege squad will swim against th e
latt er two schools twice on a home
and a way basis.
Outstanding swimmers re turning
from last year's squad, who are expected lo continue thei r winning
wa ys, a re : Jim Phethean, probably
th e best aquati c performer Wilkes
has ever seen ; Owen Lavery, a fine
breast stroker ; and Jon Valentine,

a versatile swimmer who can enter
most events with ease. Other mermen who showed promise last year
are: Pat Burke, Ral Salsburg, Bryn
Kehrli, and John Elcko. These men
are counted on to lend a valuable
hand this season. Strong assistance
this year should come from: Jim l\1cDonald, Dave Kaufman, Don Weis s,
Bob Burnside, Doug Dingman, and
Dave Kienke. Kienke possesses th e
abilit y to become one of the fin es t
divers in the Middle Atlantic Conference.
The last two ye a rs have b een so rt
of frustrating for th e swimmers they have been defeated three tim es
each ye ar b y less than three points.
A w ell-balanced s quad this ye ar
should improve on the records of
past seasons. The first two mee ts
this year will be on the road an d
East Stroudsburg will pro vid e th e .
opposition in the first home mee t
on January 11. All meets are held in
the YMCA pool and all fans are invited to cheer th e Colonels on to
victor y.

Wrestlers Fate Tougl, Opener
In Quadrangular At Oneonta
The Colonel wrestling team has a wealth of experience amon g its
ranks but is desperately lacking depth in the "heavy" classes as it p repares to regain its Middle Atlantic Conference title. Last ye ar, the
grapplers of John Reese placed third behind Temple and West Chester
at Lebanon Valley College. This year the MAC's will be held at Muhlenberg on March 7 and 8.
Coach Rees e is pleased with the Steve Kaschenbach, Denny Verzera ,
grappl ers ' efforts thus far but is Ralph Tewksbury, Tom Morris, and
very cautious w hen discussing any All Zellner. Coach Reese cracks a
expectations for the upcoming sea- smile when referring to these five
son. Th e Colonels traveled to West men as competition remains hi gh
Point and Princeton prior to the for these starting positions.
Gary Willets will move up to Wiholida y va cation and word has it
th ey represe nt ed th emselves w ell in e ndl 's vacated slot at 160, whil e
Rich Ceccoli will handle th e 177both scrimmages.
Heading the list of le ttermen are: pound chores. Ron Fritts will open
captain Joe Wiendl , who will s ee in th e h eavyweight division with
ac tion at 167 this ye ar - the Col- Tom Grady ready to enter action in
on el senior is the national small the second semester.
The wrestlers will open their s eacollege champion at 160 and should
carry his extra weight well ; Andy son tomorrow evening when the y
Matviak will probably open in the travel to Oneonta, New York, for a
123-pound class ; while John Marfia quadrangular match with the Uniwill again find duty in the 130- versit y of Buffalo, Montclair Sta te,
pound class. Both men are being and the host school. The malme n's
hard-pressed by Bill Harri s for a first appearance before the home
crowd will take place on December
varsity berth .
Th e n ext three w eight classes , 16 when the Springfield Indians in137, 145, and 152, are still in doubt vade Wilk es-Barre. Springfield las t
up to this point. Battling for a var- year ups e t the locals in a thriller,
sity spot in these categories are: 16-15.

That's the sqm,d as I see it from this vantage p oint. Ma n y fan s
w ill disagree while others ma y see my point. In an y eve nt, I think
all who doubt this team are in for a REAL SURPRISE.
Lycoming and Indiana State (Penns ylvania) will be add e d to next
year's schedule. Without a doubt, it will be one of the toughest a
Colonel team has had to face in the past few years. It is the fe eling
here the Colonels will rise to the occasion - and in fine st yle!
* * * *
This week, the Luzern e County Community College Minutemen
inaugurated their winter sports season as both the basketball and
wrestling teams saw action. The cagers will embark on a 22-gam e
schedule under newly-appointed head coach Jim Atherton .
* * * *
Olympic hero Spencer Haywood made an auspicious debut in collegiate ranks Saturday night as Detroit University annihilated Aquinas College, 105-40. Haywood, appearing in his first game for Detroit,
scored 36 points, pulled down 31 rebounds, and shattered Aquinas'
backboard with six and one-half minutes left to play. He was not
injured, but both coaches agreed the game should 'b e called.
Haywood was going for a high layup when ·h e said he thought
the defending player "was going to bridge me." He claimed the "only
defense I had was to dunk the ball which is illegal, but I thought it
would be the only way to avert an injury."

1968 COLONEL CAGERS - The Wilkes College basketball team inaugurated its season last night by playing host to the Ithaca College Blue Bombers. From left to right: Bill Grick, Wally Umbach, Jay Reimel, Char•
lie Wetzel, Herb Kemp, Rich Davis, Bob Ockenfuss, Dave Kurosky, Ted Frey, Bo Ryan (captain), Tom Ken•
nedy, and Coach Ron Rainey. Tomorrow evening at 8:15 p.m. the Madison-FDU quintet from Madison, New
Jersey, will provide the opposition. Last season the Blue Devils manhandled the Colonels by a 97-76 count.
