The course, which will take the form of a discussion seminar, is the first class concerning this particular subject to be taught at Wilkes. The course and its syllabus was developed by Dr. Benjamin Fiester, Mr . Sanley Gutin, Mr. Thomas Kas: ka, Mr. Raymond O'Connor and Dr. James Rodechko as a result of student requests that suc h a program be formulated. Mr. Kaska, Mr. O 'Connor and Dr. Rodechko will be the professors in charge of the class sessions. Nine paperback books will form a basis for the discussion to be carried on in class, and they will cover such areas as: black music and art, slavery, the Negro during Reconstruction and the Negro in America today. Whenever possible, field trips will also be worked into the class schedule. "This will not be primarily a lecture course," according to Mr. Kaska. ''We will all discuss the readings from the books and the way that we feel about them. I see a definite need for this course . It should help bring to light an aspect of American culture which has been long neglec ted." There will be a maximum of 25 students admitted to the' course, and they must be juniors or seniors. Applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-s erved basis. The course will offer three credits toward a student's elective load . [However, it cannot count toward his major.)

In addition to a lecture hall seating 400, th e new facility will include classrooms, laboratories for electrical and materials engineering with special equipment rooms to accommodate X-ray equipment, a linear accelerator, electronic microprobe, and other equipment essential to modern engineering and science programs. There will be environmental scienc e laboratories with a special observatory facility, as well as a fine arts gallery and studio classrooms for fine arts education majors ; a special micro-biology laboratory for students of nursing and facilities for experimental psychology, student faculty counseling and sp ecia l tutorial instruction. The offices of the department of mathematics, classrooms and computer science rooms, as well as a number of special seminar rooms and team-teaching facilities will complete the assignment of space within the addition. Conyingham Hall was one of two buildings presented to the college in its early years. In 1937 the lat e Mrs. Bertha Robinson Conyngham, widow of John N. Conyngham, donated their former home to Wilk es. Until its loss, the building had accommodated classes in engineering, mathematics and art. When first given to the college, it contained the library and the departments of biology, physics and chemistry. Because of the steady growth of the college and its plans for the introduction of n ew programs in electrical and materials engineering, environmental science and mathemat- · ics, its loss created a condition of emergency. Immediately following the fire, [Continued on Page 8) Calendar, Brochure, Activities Fee lnclude_d In S.G. Summer Worklist While many of us enjo yed · the resp ite of summer vacation with jobs and vario us kinds of leisure, the Student Government worked diligently at two big meetings and met weekly to organize the coming year's activities and write proposals to be accepted by the faculty and Administration . One of the most outstanding accomplishments of hard work and group eff □-rt was the passage of the proposal submitted by Student Government to th e faculty conce rning student representation on faculty committees . This concept was developed last fall by the Student Life Committee and further deliberation was held in the Educational Policies Committee and the Student Government. On April 22, 1969 the faculty was addressed by the student members of th e Educational Policies Committee, who advocated the idea that students receive representation on various faculty committees. Two weeks later the faculty discussed such an idea and at a subsequent faculty meeting the faculty approved the proposal of student representation in principl e with the details to be worked out by the students. faculty, and Administration . At last Tuesday's faculty luncheon, Dan Kopen, president of Stu dent Government, presented the final draft of the proposal and later that afternoon the faculty accepted the proposal with reservations only in technical ch an ges. A second ins_trumenta] piece of legislation that was worked on b y the Student Government this summer was the Activities Fee. Each regular Wilkes College student has been assessed an activities fee of $10 to be effective for the 1969-1970 academic year. The Student Government expects to receive $24,000 with the details of funding various projects left largely to the discretion of th tivities Fee Committee . AIIJ,ong the types of activities that the fund would support are clubs,/ classes, co nc erts, dances, lectures/ movies, theatrical performances, as deemed worthy by the Student Government and the Activities Fee Committee. An emphasis on campus-oriented activities will be placed to insure that Wilkes students deriv e the fullest benefits possible through the administration of the activities fee fund.

The tendency has been to blame the students themselves for the trouble , and they deserve a major part of the criticism . But th e admini strations have , in effect, created the climate for disruption , in some part, by refusin g to acknowledge the problems of students who try to go throu gh channels. The pl ight of the law abiding student at Harvard is probably typical. As a graduate student told Senate investigators : "The main problem at Harvard is not SOS . The main problem is the Harvard administration and faculty ; their leniency, their blind ness and their cowardice ."" The student noted that violence before this past sprin g' s outbreak had been condoned by President Nathan Pusey as political in nature and therefore just ifiiable . Pusey refu sed to puni sh student radicals who mobbed the ca r of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara afte r he spoke on campu s in 1966. Other disturbances followed . Th e president of student government before the sprin g riot asked for 30 minutes of Pu sey 's time each month to discuss stu dent problems. Pusey refused even when he reduced his request to 15 minutes . The administration , however, did find time , un der humili atin g conditions , to listen to the troublem akers who demanded and obtained a voice on all faculty committees. Peaceful students had not been able to get a representative even on one such committee. The point is , as the graduate student at Harvard put it: " Again and again we are tau ght at Harvard th at if you want to be heard , you must be rude , aggressive and pu shy and that if you want chan ges made, it is best to use force." That is the lesson and it bodes ill for society that youn gsters are comin g out of our universities with that opinion . The precedin g editorial was written by the editors of the Wilkes-Barre Record recently. After scanning it , The Beacon has made the followin g observations . Wilkes is about to initiate a student representation policy on faculty committees for the 196970 academic year. This important move is the culmination of much work done by the faculty , Administration, and the student body through its elected representatives , Student Government. This drastic change will do much to change the entire scope of affairs on the campus and will undoubted ly afford the students a voice in the Col lege's affairs. We congratulate those individu als who. devoted their time and knowl ed ge in order that such a move mi ght be made. This illustrates the fabulous cooperation which can be found at Wilkes if the proper channels of authority are followed. It is also interesting to note the distinct difference between Harvard and Wilkes in regard to discussions with their administrations. Any student will be welcomed to discuss any matter pertaining to the College or himself with any member of the Administration . The "Open Door Policy" is practiced throughout Weckesser Hall with the exception of the President 's office. Here an appointment is almost necessary but can be made with minimum confusion. This policy has contributed much in establishing the confidence and cooperation which now exists between these two elements. We should also like to mention the facul ty for its willingness to meet with students at any time to discuss various topics and for its devotion to the student body in certain areas. The Beacon is publishing this editorial as a plea to all Wilkes students to make their objections and complaints known to the proper officers th rough the proper channels. There is nothing on this campus which cannot be resolved throu gh discussions. Force is not the solution to any problem - it merely opens more avenues of discontent and generally affords the dissenters nothing. This editorial is not to be read as proAdministration . It merely points out facts which do exist - nothin g has been forced upon the editorial board of the paper. Admitting there is some room for improvement in everythin g that exists today , The Beacon is proud to be associated with the Administration , faculty , and the student body of Wilkes College. Equalized Education Equalization in education is no lon ger racial. It is economic . Four cities in as many states are declarin g that unequal distribution of school funds is a violation of the 14th Amendment 's guarantee of equ al protection of law to the nation 's public school children . In other words, these suits and others contemplated by bi g cities in many other states, say that it is not ri ght for suburbs to spend more money on their pupils than most bi g cit ies do , that the funds should somehow be pooled and redistributed equa ll y. Of course , that strikes at the very foundation of the responsibility for education which is now largely local. Nationally, the suburbs spend about 30 per cent more on each child 's education than does the average big city. Parents move to suburbs to give their children a THE FIRST STEPS ARE THE ROUGH ONES! better education , and are willin g to pay the hi gher t axes which such a step entails . James Con ant , former President of Harvard , and James Allen , U.S. Commissioner of Education , are amon g those who believe that the states have a constitutional obligation to equalize educational spending. States now assume an avera ge of 40 per cent of school costs , on a pro rata basis . Communities make up the difference. The result is that in California , per-pupil expenditures ran ge from $365 to $1 ,353 per district ; and in New York, from $470 to $1 ,600 . Should legislatures , unde r the impetus of court orders , equalize all spend ing on education within their borders , we can foresee another popular rebellion . States mi ght assume 50 per cent of the cost , but communities willin g to pay more should have the right to do so . F.G.D.

The week, together with extended orientation activities proceeding throughout the semester, is designed to help freshmen make the difficult transition from high school to college. The first step involved the parents of the freshmen, who were extended a welcome by Dr. Eugene S. Farley in the gymnasium. Parents of men and women were then separated to listen to speeches from the deans . Dean of Women Jane K. Lampe addressed the women's parents in the Center for the Performing Arts, as Dean of Men George F. Ralston addressed the parents of the men in the gym. The entire day concluded with ·an informal reception on th a-.lawn beside Chase Hall, giving the parents a time to relax and digest the information from the president and deans. By Monday morning it was time to begin orienting the freshmen themselves to life at Wilkes. The class gathered in the gym for the opening conference for the Class of 1973. Dean of Academic Affairs Francis Michelini and Dean George Ralston welcomed the class for the first time. A good portion of that day was taken up with registration, and then the men and women met with their respective deans for the first indication of what is expected of students concerning grades, conduct, and other material concerning the college. On Tuesday resident students attended conferences with Dean Lampe and Dean Arth ur Hoover. In a departure from past practice, upperclassmen offered book reviews of the required reading. Although in past years this had been handled by the faculty, the general consensus of opinion seemed to be that the new approach was a good one. Growing Up Absurd was reviewed by George Conway, The Oh No! It's Zak Hayes by Zak Hayes Greetings, fellow students! Right now, you 're probably asking yourself: Who in thunderation is Zak Hayes? And I can easily see why no'ne of you would recognize th e name. You see, I'm writing under a pseudonym; first, because I feel Zachary Hayes is a name of literary perfection - one worthy to appear in such a publication as The Beacon; secund, due to the extreme ly poor quality of humor which will be presented in my column, I feel it is necessary to remain temporarily anonymous, so as not to incriminate myself. Last year, you see, The Beacon, under new supervision, sought help (allege Acquires land To Be Used For Dorm Ro n Lustig 1e st ud e nt s ot i ng, 76 West lo th e edito r , Naked Ape by Jack Blann ett, and The Invisible Man by Russ Williams. Registration continued throughout the day according to m ajors, and each student was given an op portunity to tour the n ew library. Wednesday morning was devoted to acquainting freshmen with specific areas of college life. Professor Robert C. Riley of the psychology department spoke on "Counseling and You", and Rich ard Raspen, the Financial Aid Officer, explained various aspec ts of the financial aid program. John Chwalek, Director of Placement, gave a rundown on student employment, and Samuel Davenport, Alumni Secretary, spoke on alumni affairs. Dr. Harold Cox of the history department added interesting sidelights on the history of Wilkes College, and Wilkes-Barre. A highlight of the week was the annual luncheon at which Dr. Farley, president of the College, officially welcomed the Class of 1973 to Wilkes. After an int roduction b y Dean Ralston, Dr. Farley delivered an address to the class urging it to be on guard at all times concerning attempts by outsiders to provoke unr est on campus. President Farley admonished students to develop th eir own thinking despite attempts by others to use influence. · In saying that Wilkes attempts to make its work relevant to changes in mod ern day society, Dr. Farley observed: "We will always fail, but it's up to yo u to bridge the gap between what we give you and what you think is relevant. " The final speeches of the week for freshmen were delivered on Thursday by fellow students. In the First Presbyterian Church the class listened to addresses by Dan Kopen, president of Student Government; Drew Gubanich, president of In terdormi tory Council; Jay Goldstein, advisor to the freshman class; and Bill Kaye, orienta'tion advisor. After a week of digesting information and listening to faculty, Administration, and upperclassmen A property at 271-73 South River Street has been sold to the college by M.

The property contains 5,750 square feet of land and plans call for it to be transformed into a dormitory for use during the '70-'71 academic year. from its readers, in hopes of improving its quality. Not to appear apathetic, I asked myself: What can you do for yo ur Beacon editors? After conceding that The Beacon's news and sports coverage were impeccable, I realized immediately what I could do to improve The Beacon - nothing. After many months of consideration on the subject, however, I was ab le to discover one weakness on The Beacon's part - it wasn't fun to read, rather it was merely informative. Now let's face it, humor can b e fun sometimes. I decided to apply for a position on the staff, writing satire. I believe that a humorous addition to The Beacon will serve as the missin g link b etween a good college newspaper an d a sensational one. Having been offered an opportunity to contribu te my opinions to The Beacon, I would like to express m y gratitud e to its editors. I sho uld make it clear at this time that th e outlook in my column will be one of satire. An y ideas expressed in my essays should not be taken as representing my true convictions, for ind eed I have none. If anyone objects to any statement I mak e, I am quit e prepared not only to r etract it, but also to deny under oath that I ever made it, okay? speak, on Friday morning the freshman class was given an opportunity to relax completely. Buses in front of Chase Hall took the class to Dr. Farley 's farm for the annual freshman picnic, a day of sports, games, good food, music, and an introduction to cheers and hazing. As usual, a highlight was learning the Ralston cheer from Dean Ralston himself. Throughout the week, freshmen were entertained. at mixers, films and dances. They were given opportunities to meet with the faculty and individual advisors, with Big Brothers and Sisters, and were introduced to campus clubs and organizations. Yet, the orientation activities actually continue throughout th is semester, as the class meets weekly to discover the use of the library, to meet with th e deans, and to dis cuss th e books •o n the required reading lists with u pperclass moderators.

Soon th ey learned that their antithetical society could not survive independently of the establishment. Therefore, the movement was buried . An official funeral was held in Octob er 1967. The Hippies had watched society both mock and ignore th em . As non-violents and non-activists, they were unable to retaliate. From the remains of the Hippi e movement rose political ac tivism . Since they co uld not live apart and parallel to the establishment, the a lternativ e was to change the establi shment. The obvious focal point of these attempts was understandably the univ ers it y.

MARKET ST., WILKES-BARRE OPEN MONDAY & THURSDAY TO 9 P. M. �Frid ay, September 19, 1969 by Pete Herbst, Sports Editor It was my good fortune this summer to read an excellent football diary entitled Instant Replay by Jerry Kramer. The author played professional football for the Green Bay Packers and was all-Pro tackle several times during his career. Kramer was selected recently to the AllStar team for the 1960's. In his book the articulate and hard-hitting tackle from Green Bay attempts to reveal the inside of a professional football team. More specifically, Kramer relates what it like to play for the winningest team in football, the Packers, and its winningest and most re spected coach, Vince Lombardi. Vince Lombardi is the ultimate in coaching. He is a ma$ter psychologist, knowing precisely when to psych ,his players up and when to whip them down. He is a perfectionist who drives his team to the limit. There is nothing in sports that compares to the grass drills ·o f Lombardi. While other teams do about 20 in a practice session, Lombardi has the Packers do so. It is difficult to disagree with Jerry. The Packers have won three consecutive championships in the National Football League and two consecutive world championships. No other team has done either. So what type of team were the champion Packers? What were the players like? On the field they are a unified force which crushes opponents with simplicity and abandon. Off the field the p layers are still a unified group with genuine affection for each other. Regardless of whether a player was a regular or not, he would help out wherever he could. Even if a regular was benched, that player would still aid his replacement. But in 1967 the Packers got •off to a slow start and los t a few ball games that should have been won. Kramer ·began to notice a few things thcrt occurred off the field . The major thing that bothered him was fighting among the Packers . Kramer observed that fights never broke out when the Packers were winning. He thus began to think whether winning creates affection among teammates or if affection among teammates creates a winning team. He was inclined to think the former. Since the Blue and Gold Colonels resemble the Packers in many ways, I wondered what the case was with the Wilkes gridders of 196970, Anyone who knows the players on the team or observes them at practice can tell the players and the coaches are very close. Go to one of their practices and you will find the players h elping each other, providing inexperienced players with information, and always listen'i ng to the coaches. Would the relationship among the players be the same if the Colonels were not as successful as they are? I spoke to a few of the players on the squad and most agreed that regardless of 'the team's success the guys would get along. George Conway, senior captain and offensive center, said, that all the guys pull for each other and if the team was losing the players would stick together more in an attempt to win. Bill Hanbury, 6-3, 220-pound lineman, felt that all the players had a common goal: to win the championship and extend their winning streak to 37 games, Hanbury thought this was a very important factor affecting team camaraderie, Obviously, ·some of the Colonels disagree with Kramer. Not being a part of either team, it is difficult for me to say if winning creates camaraderie or camaraderie creates a winning team. For the Colonels' sake, however, I hope the players never find out how they would react during a losing season. "Pride and Poise" is the motto of the Blue and Gold. You'll see a lot of both on September 27th, when the Colonels take on Lycoming in the first game of an anxiously awaited season. LEWIS - DUNCAN Sports center and trophy gallery 11 East Market Street, Wilkes-Barre HEADQUARTERS FOR COLLEGE CLOTHING THE BEACON Page 5 Wilkes A Perennial Power In MAC But Athletics Is Only Number 2 by Rick Bigelow During the 1968-69 academic year, Wilkes College athletic teams won championships in foo ~ball and wrestling. The soccer and basebaiJI teams experienced winning seasons and finished high in fh e MAC s'lands. The basketball team also established itself as a resurgent by compiling its first winning record in six years. This year promises more of the same with our recordsetting football team leading the way. Such an outstanding record is proof positive that Wilkes College is indeed a power to be reckoned with in the MAC and among the nation's _small colleges. However, it has not always been so. Following a five-year period of winn'i ng football teams under the tu'lelage of George Ralston, now Dean of Men, in the late 40's and early 50's, Wilkes' teams began to show a general decline. The College subsequently experienced a decade of mediocre athletic teams, where defeats far outnumbered vietories. In 1961 a decision was made by the Wilkes Administrative Council to upgrade the Wilkes athletic program, particularly football and basketball, to match the already wellestabl'ished academic standards. It was fe'lt that sloppy, indifferent play on the athletic field had a Student Gives View detrimental effect on th e reputation of the College. Befor e the d ecision was m ade, ho wever, another alternative to the dilemma was considered - abandonment of intercolleg'ia1te sports entire'ly. Fortunately, this alternative was r ejected as it was felt that intercolleg'i a te competition directly affects the morale and attitude of th e stud ent body. This brings us to an outs'tan din g point of conjecture - has the decision to upgrade athletics had a beneficial or detrimental effec'I on the College and its reputa'tion? From the point of view of the athlete and sports enthusiast, the decision has proven beneficial as the College has consistently fielded winners and more than its share of MAC champions during the past few years. This fact leads us to another question - has the College garnered the reputation as an "athletic factory"? Talks with Administrative officials, faculty, and students seem to indicate the contrary. Wilkes Coilege academic standards have not been affected in any way. The advent of the superior athlete has not forced the Administration to lower ei'ther the admission or graduation requirements. Nor has the studen:t body's cumulative average fallen. In fact, statistics compiled by College officials at the end of the 1968 fa'll semester show that all fall sports participants had a cumula'tive average above 2.0 (football, 2.10; basketball, 2.18; and soccer, 2.54). this year and n ext year's team even though it will be a good team - might not be strong enough to 'h andle the likes of Vermont and Ind'i•a na State." An o:ther interesting question arises at this time. How is the superior athlete attracted to Wilkes? Do they al'! receive scholarships? There are two answers to the first question. The first and probably most important is recruiting. Prior to 1961, very little recruiting was done •by the athletic staff. Today, however, most of the athle1tes are products of the recruiting system. The Wilkes system of recru'Hing is sma'll-scale, cons isting of a visit to the campus by the applicant, and an offer of finanC'ial assistance, if the applicant is qualified. The second answer to fhiis question is the caliber of the coaches. Coach Reese feels that the coaching has played a large role in the rise of Wi'lkes' athle'lic fortunes. "Our good, yo un g coaches have been a major factor in our athletic success. Their knowledge and ability h elp produce 'the outstanding teams, which produce a good athletic reputa:tion for the College. This reputation, in turn, attracts more and b etter athletes to Wilkes." Dean Ralston also feels the coaches play an important role in attractin g athletes. "The most important feature of our program is th e personal contac'I betw een our coaches and the applicants. This has made our recruiting program successful." The same point of view is shared by Dr. Farley. His comment was, "The successfu'l coaches h•ave developed an outstanding program that appeals to these boys , and consequently they decide to enter Wilkes. The coaches, thos e employed on full-time basis and also those on a part-time basis, are knowledgeable in their respective fields and have proven competent to the nth degree in the past few years. Wilkes College is forturrate to have coaches with such abilitymen who are also concerned with academ'ic standards ." A conversation with the athletic director at another MAC institution it.

For many local fans this small article was the realization of a dream -the Wilkes College footba ll team has finally reached the plateau where it will garner the recognition it so richly deserves. But has this article actually done justice to our men? It is the feeling here that the art'icle [loosely referred to as such] was compiled by a sixth-grader who happened to need a topic for an English essay. The "meat" of the story is missing, although the writer does give hints that a "real story" does indeed exist behind the mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania - on e that would explain the longest winning streak in the n ation. Too much space is devoted to quotes which were probably gathered in plain disChuck Lengle cussions and too little emphasis is given to the football exploits of the local eleven. Who in the world cares if Joe Zakowski is a left-hander or a rightie? Could it be that the writer just enjoys a perverted sense of humor? Perhaps he is hoping to gain employment with a television show as a comedy writer. In any event, it is again disheartening how a highly-respected periodical such as SI would stoop such a low degree of sensationalism to "beef up" its pages. A copy of The Beacon will be sent to the SI editorial offices, hoping to invite a true (however biased] view of our grid team. It is quite interesting to note that Wilkes College does not offer a physical education major. Most schools with fine sports records enjoy a phys ed curriculum where they can store their athletes unt'il their e ligibility runs out. Wilkes enjoys nothing of this kind. Secondly, the school sports an enrollment of approximately 2,600 of which bette r than 100 males found time to go out for the fall sport. Another interesting fact is the grid team posted a 2.55 cumulative average last semester - far above the school mean. Now, if the writer had become bored w'ith straight facts, we think there are many human interest stories which could have easily been discovered by a GOOD SPORTS COLUMNIST! Anchoring the Colonel offensive line (a position he has been holding for the past four years) is George Conway. Conway stands 6'2" and weighs 220 - nothing ususual yet, but it is also a fact that the "Deacon" is a pre-ministerial student and plans to enter sem'i nary after graduation in 1970. Then there is the story bordering around our fine place-kicker, Bill Staake. Staake has been participating in athletics all his life with the sight of only one eye. The Maryland native also finds time to wrestle in the winter and did letter in baseball while in high school. These are just two examples of stories which could have filled the pages of SI with good, clean, straight-from-the-shoulder sports info. Too bad the writer did not have enough ability to sense a good story. It is hoped that this SI mess infuriates the Colonels to bigger and better performances this season. Perhaps SI will have time to write about us with a 37-game winning streak. * * * * * Remember the United States Merchant Marine Academy? It was the culprit who laid claim to the Lambert Bowl last year. Well, there is no need to worry about the Mariners this season. They sailed into Gettysburg last week (heavy favorites, we might add] with aspirations of gaining their first Win of the '69 campaign. Well, the Bullets had different ideas and sank the Academy, 19-7. We should like to thank Howard Shoemaker's charges for a job well done . The G-burg squad has suffered through many a dismal season-"- perhaps this is just an indication that it is on the road back to the supremacy it once enjoyed. Good luck, G-burg! * * * * * It is the hope here that the Inter-Dormitory Council and/or Student Government find the way to sponsor trips to all the away football games this year. Nothing serves to inspire outstanding efforts than the cheering of partisan fans. If Wilkes is expected to continue rts winning efforts, then it has the right to expect a following at ALL its contests. With the same thought in mind, we would like to remind everyone that the Colonels travel to Indiana State of Pennsylvan'i a on Saturday, November 15. PLEASE make every effort possible to make this journey (Indiana State is located about 45 miles east of Pittsburgh) -without a doubt this is the biggest game on the '69 schedule and will be a "make or break" game.

Since Nedoff has only eight players returning from last season and a total of 16 upperclassmen, the new rule will seriously hinder the team's chances for success. Therefore, the team will vote tomorrow whether to play freshmen in spite of the MAC rule and thus forfeit all conference games. But the conference games will still be played.

Also , considerable research was done in connection wifh new uses for the Commons that will be open this year on week nights as well as weekends; the groundwork was laid for the two elections that will be held this fall to replace the vacancy of Student Government representative to the Senior Class and the vacancy of vice president to the Junior Class; and an entirely new program dealing with the language barrier prob'lem that many students experience in the classroom.

What did y ou particularly like/dislike made in Student Government for about the program?" 'this year and to discuss with you our attitude toward what will be rather widespread problems on our nation's camp u ses. Much work has been undertaken by our organization during the summer months, and several new ideas have been incorporated into our structure to allow for a greater degree of student self-determination in both academic and social affairs than has existed previously on our campus. In April of this year, plans for two majur pieces of legislation were beginning to materialize. On April 22, Jay Goldstein, Vice-President of Student Government, and I advocated the concept that studen'ts receive representation on virtually all faculty committes. This proposal has been agreed to "in principle" by the Student Government, the faculty, and the Administration. Acceptance of the proposal by the faculty will allow us to begin the process of nominating students to the various faculty committees. Also, in April we conducted a student referendum on the institution of a $10 activities fee . With over 70% of those voting in favor of the idea, an Activities Fee Proposal was drafted and submitted to both the Student Government and the Administrative Council. Both hodies agreed to the proposal. The ED BREZINSKI. "The week was DELPHINE OPET. "I loved every funds from the activities fee have well organized and well planned minute of it.

" Other areas that have demanded much effort on the part of ·o ur organization include: our Freshman Orientation Program, chaired by Bill Kaye an d co-chaired by Steve Kubicki; our Freshman Reading Program, chaired by Russ Williams; our Freshman Advisory Program, h eade d by Jay Goldstein; our traditio nal social events, arranged under the direct ion of Dave Hoffman an d Rick Newm an; the publication of our school calendar under the supervision of Dave Lombardi and Harry Bielecki; th e publication of our student handbook, co-chaired by Mary Carol Hornyak and Sandra Walters. All of this work has required 'the extension of much effort this summer, bu't the bulk of uur work remains to be accomplished during the year as we seek to make effective the plans that have been laid this summer as well as to institute new programs requiring the cooperation of the student body for success. Some of our most important projects this year will be in the area of community service. As college students, ours is a position that allows us to make significant contributions to our community provided that we are willing to accept the responsibilities of such invo'lvement. Two areas of particular concern are in Tutorial Assistance and Red 'Cross service. Ina Brown is our campus coordinator for the tutorial services. She will be working through the headquarters at the YM-YWCA in an effort to secure cooperation from our student body. There are 11 centers in Luzerne County where s'tudent tutorial assistance is needed and we hope that we can be of service in these areas. The Red Cross offers further opportunities for student involvement in community service . We will be seeking voluntary cooperation in this field to assist the Red Cross during emergency periods as well as to receive training in emergency techniques. Our Reach-Out Committee, cochaired by Mary Ann Polochko and Jack Blannett, will be continuously involved in serving the underprivileged and handicapped of our co unty thro ugh projects such as field trips for orphans and social gatherings for the aged and handicapped. All of these service projects will require your participation if we are 'to realize the successes that we an ticipate. None of these can be successfully met without your assistance.

The academic year ahead looms as one of the most challenging in the history of American undergraduate education. To those who view higher education from the perspective of an undergraduate, it has b ecome increasingly apparent that we are faced with what are not clearly soluble problems, but rather, with a host of dilemmas. This predicament has manifested itself in th e anxiety that has become wid espread among undergraduates . We are faced with a series of seemingly impossible to answer questions demanding immediate responses from a war that is morally repugnant to many who are on-call to participate in it to a realization that we, as students, cannot solve the problems of the world while the near-total commitment of our society to higher education indicates that from th e halls of colleges and universities are expected to emerge individuals capable of rectifying th e accumulated errors of past ge nerations .

This year S tud ent Government is pl edged to responsible action - not for the sake of action, but for achievement; to change - not for the the sake of change, but for improvement; and to wield student power - not for the sake of power, but for constructive ends. The type of Student Government described can work only with student participation. This participation do es not have to be directly in the affairs of Student Government. Individuals in clubs which undertake se rvi ce projects, staff members and co ntributors to campus publications, men and women in athletics and in th e arts, and countless others who dedi ca te effort to the College and the community - these are all representative of student invo lvemen t. The opportunities that exist today for our involvement are Shop at . . . GRAHAM'S unlimited- we are needed as teachers; we are needed for our ideas ; in short, we are needed as contrib utors. Often such efforts are thank less, often taken for granted, and too often go unnoticed while the actions of a few of us are subjected to irresponsible sensationalism. It takes a certain amount of self-confidence to maintain the conviction that what we are working for is in fact worthwhile, especially when working within a system that has come under heavy attack. Stud ent Government will be a government of contribution - we will contribute our efforts to our College and our community because we feel that they will be worth the time we will devote over this year of our lives. We are confident that we can help to eliminate the ine quities that exist in various areas of our College; we are proud of what our College stands for as eloquently phrased in .the Marks of and Educated Man and we will work to make the College adhere to these ideals in spite of itself; and we are aware that the problems that we face, both real and imaginary, are generally more Gomplex than simple and we are ready to tackle the complexities that they involve .

These include problems of international and national conc ern Vietnam, the Middle East, Africa, Russo-Chinese border confrontations, freedom movements in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, civil wars in Biafra and the Congo-inflation, labor practices, civil rights , etc. We must recognize, however, that the primary commitment of an academic institution is to sustain an educational process designed to give the student a background of Information and understanding that enables him to more properly interpret his society and the role he will be called upon to play in it. This insight and understanding is not easily obtained and requires considerable preparation in lectures, discussions, and laboratories. To accomplish our educational purposes, the academic year is structured so that the faculty may fulfill their primary obligations. This requires a continuity of presentation and the various course syllabi are structured to make optimum use of the days scheduled for each course. To arbitrarily suspend classes and disrupt this process seems inconsistent with the commitment the institution has to its students. an~ d~scusslon periods must b_e n:iamta:me~ to assure those cond1tions which e_nabl~ 'the fa~u'.t~ n:iember to fulfill his respons1b1lihes to the student. These _responsibiJlities can_n~t be treated lightly by the Adm1mstration and the !acuity, for rt has be~n a long-standmg policy not to disrupt the educatio~al commitments the College has to its students . Any precedent which could encourage any group to seek the forum of the classroom to further their own ends or to publicize particular causes would require serious review by the faculty, Administration and students. All s'tudents in the proposed Peace Discuss'ions are invited to meet with members of the Administration on Tuesday, September 30, at 11 a.m . in Weckesser Annex . Thereafter, the findings of this meeting will be reviewed with the Faculty and Student Government." Of o·ther no'teworthy significance was the acceptance by the Administration of the Student Government Budget. The budget had been previously corrected by Student Government and will be up for r~viewal again in November. The final draft of the Dissent and Due Process statement organized by Student Government was also accepted by the Counci1. The statement clearly s1tates the Administrations position on dissent and clearly defines the protection of the student in all cases of dissent and demonstration. A safety proposa,J was submitted by Mr. Abate stressing the need for new safety measures at the College. With over 50 buildings on the campus, all vunerable to access, a definite need has been cited by the Faculty and Administration for new meas ur es. the'ir replacements were the main points of business at the Student Governmen1t meeting which took place on Saturday, Sept. 20. Bonnie Gellas, Ben Lodeski, Linda Tannenbaum and Ira Kretick, all members of •t he Junior C'l ~ss, offered the'ir resignations, effec-tive as of Sep't. 20, because of persona'! reasons. Elections of representatives to replace them, 'to choose representatives from 'the Senior Class, and to fill the Vice-Presidency of the Junior Cla·s s were set for Thursday, Oct. 2. Vot'ing places will be set up in the Commons from 9 a.m. •to 3:30 p.m. and in the New Men's Dorm from 4 p.m. to 9 p .m. Dr. Michelini gave a report on the accreditation •s tudies which will be made here in April. A case study ra1ther 'than a simple report will be turned in a1t the end, and Vhe s'tudy wil'l be on three major aspects of the schoo'l : the development of the masters program, the undergradua't e program in liberal arts, and Adminis'tration and faculty as they affect curriculum innovation and in'terdisciplinary program planning. Plans for Homecom'i ng and Spring Week-end were discussed witih the French Club sugges'ting ·that a Demolit'ion Show be scheduled for the former, and The Classics IV and Stevie Wonder be'ing named as possi'b'Je entertainers for ·the latter.

He served as Student Government President, Class President, Yearbook Editor, Band President and Latin Club President. His record of outstanding achievements continued and he graduated cum laude from St. Vincent College with a degree in philosophy. He served as President of the Pennsylvania Debators' Society, the youngest e'Jected Speaker of the Pennsy'Jvania College Legislature, and President of his class. He was chosen by President Truman as one of five college dell egates to the M'id-Cen, tury White House Conference on Youth in 1950. He also represented the Un'i ted States at international meetings of Pax Romana in Europe. After graduation from St. Vincent, Dean Manderino attended Harvard University Law School where he was awarded the Sidney Thompson Fairchild Scholarship and w·as chosen as a member of 'the Harvard Class Committee . After Harvard, two years were spent with the United States Court of Appeals as law clerk to the Honorable Austin L. Staley. Dean Manderino then began practicing law in Monessen and Greensburg. He has served many capacities in various civic ac't ivities, was the prime mover in establishing Monessen's Master Plan Conference and has become recognized as an expert in local government. In 1956, Dean Manderino began teadhling at the Duquense University School of law and on February 14, 1968 he was c'h osen by his faculty an d th e Pres'i dent of the University to h ead the School of Law as its Dean.

The situation has grown ou't of hand, undoubtedly the Deans' offices are either unaware of such conditions or th ey are clos'ing their eyes. The cafeteria si:tuation is a feature which needs mudh work. It now 'takes t'he average student 2030 minutes to wait for serving. To complement the problem, the existing faciHties are too crowded and many ,students are forc ed to stand and wait for empty tables. By the time one gets a chance to si't down and eat he has either lost his appe fi te or his food 'is ice cold. Both serving lines are not being utilized becaus e ",there just isn't enough h elp available." That feeble excuse is offered by the cafeteria personnel when questioned about 'the si:tuation. Another facet of dormitory life which has been allowed to deteriorate is the parking situation. It is now an accepted fact that Wilkes College is unable ,t o provide ample parkii ng spaces for everyone who wants one. To this has come the edict that dormitory proctors are not allowed to park their cars on campus. This is not only horrendous but 'is actually 'a healt'h haz·ard! I suffered a terrible experience la-st year when I fell in tlhe dormitory and 'h ad to be rushed to the hospital. Fortunately t'he proctor was available and immediately rendered assistance.

Perhaps the clearest portrait of both the turned-on student and his straight classmate has been traced by a group of social scientis't s in California. Their conclusions, based on interviews and questionnaires, are generally supported, or at least not contradicted, by the findings of other investigators. Left-Wing Activist The student who has some familiarity with drugs-meaning, principally, the amphe't amines ("Pep pills") marijuana and LSD-is likely to be a middle-class or upper-middle class male majoring in the hu~ anities or the social sciencies at a college or university 'in or near an urban center. He probably disagrees with his parents' politics and is himself a left-wing activist. He is likely to have moved several times during his childhood and early adolescence. He probably characterizes himself as nonreligious in the traditional sense. Sports are of little importance to him, as are campus clubs and groups. Unhappy With World He is generally dissatisfied with his courses and teachers and what he sees as the irrelevance of his education, with the insti'tution's administration, with the socie·t y he grew up in and the world as it is. These are some -of the student drug user's charac'teris'tics found by Dr. Richard H. Blum and his associates, mainly at the InstHute for the Study of Human Problems, at Stanford University, in their survey of 1,200 students at five western colleges and universi't ies in the 1967 academic year. Their findings were published earlier th'is year as the second volume of two, under the ti~le "Students and Drugs." The project was financed in part by the National Institute of Mental Hea1'th. Now The Majority The student in wha:t was then the "Big minority" - Blum reported 1'hat a sma'Jiler 1968 follow-up study indicates that the "majority of the students" had some nl'ici1t drug experience-is likely also to be a coffee drinker and to be familiar wifu both tobacco and alcohol. He is comparatively unimaginative but probably "the more independent." He is without the pressures of "rancor or compulsive opposition" to h'is parents, although limited by a comm'iltment to family, institutional and cultural values which he cannot and probably would not wish to escape." Leans To Liberalism He 'i s fikeiy to be a science or technology major and rive on campus; 't o be very involved with sports and to be moving politically, i'f at all, from his parents' moderate conservafism toward being a liberal Democrat. He is no 'a ctivist poH'tically, nor ferven'tly religious.

It did, however, necessitate buying a new transmission. Passing th e time while wa'iting for the transmission people to repair our beloved jeep, we wandered into the projects and quickly made fri ends. We joined in the joy of the young children who amused thems elves by throwing rocks at the rats in fhe garbage. In the midst of the hunt a shout of glee was heard, for someone had stumbled upon a treasure . A soda pop bottle lay just barely covered by trash. Disappointment quickly followed becaus e it turned out to be a no-deposit bottle. So we returned to the business of throwing rocks at 't he rats.

Val., Colonels Forecast for Wins by Rich Feranti The Wilkes football squad is playing a big note on safety this season. The Colonels have invested in a revolutionary type headgear called "Riddell's Micro-Fit Helmet." This helmet took 15 years of research to develop before its final use. The first player to use the helmet was Larry Czonka of the Miami Dolphins. Czonka was suffering from head injuries received in college football at Syracuse and the pros were doubtful whether he would be able to play. After using the helmet for some time, it seems that the fear of injury is lessened. He only suffers from minor nose bleeds which is probably an internal disorder not caused by playing football. Chuck Robbins, the sporting goods outfitter for all the Wilkes teams, says, "A football helmet has to fit perfectly to be 100 per cent effective." Mr. Robbins claims that the new helmet is the best helmet he's ever seen, and he'll continue to push its use in football. Mr. Robbins also added, "Coach Schmidt is the most particular guy about safety in equipment; he always buys the best." Coach Schmidt also agrees this is the best helmet he's ever seen. He feels "that high school football players don't get the proper fit with equipment, especially helmets." But with this h elmet "I can form-fit every kid." Though the Colonels are still experimenting with the helmet Wilkes vs. Lycoming The Colonels, riding the crest of a 29-game winning streak should be able to handle the Warriors at Billport. Southpaw Joe Zakowski should enjoy a banner season with a fine showing in this opener. The "Gold Machine" will display a potent offensive with Zakowski throwing to the likes of Jack Clarke, Bill Lazor, fim Maraschio, and Ted Yeager. Full back Bob Genarro will steamroll out of the backfield and Yeager should scamper for 100 plus yards. The Warriors , always tough on their home field, lost a toughie to Albright las't week, 13-7, but will find the going rough aga'inst Rollie Schmidt's revamped defense. Wilkes 35 Lycoming 7 REVOLUTIONARY helmet design pictured will be used by Wilkes gridders to lessen possible injuries. (only eight new helmets are being used now), Coach Schmidt says, "Within a year or so I will comp'letely change over the helmets I am using now to the new ones." Secret of Headpiece The secret inside this headpiece is a new principle in helmets. The micro-fit offers five elements of protection: 1) THE NEW KRA-LITE II SHELL. Riddell's thermoplastic that disperses the blow over a wider helmet area. 2) INFLATED AIR-PADS lie close to the head surface. Upon impact, air pads compress, stretch, and ab- sorb light to moderately heavy blows. 3) 12 HYDRO CELLS CONTAIN WATER and METHYL ALCOHOL (to reduce weight and prevent freezing). These are activated when the inflated air-pads are compressed by .a heavy blow. At this time, the fluid in a wet reservoir of the hydro-cell is forced at a controlled rate into the dry reservoir through a connecting metering orifice. This further dissipates the force of the blow. 4) EXPANDED VINYL FOAM WITHIN and underneath the air(Continued on Page 7) by Pete Herbst, Sports Editor Albright vs. Juniata Albright, co-champions of the Northern Division in 1968, has ambitions of repeating 't hat honor again this season . The Lions have a poten't offensive led by Denny Zimmerman, t'he durable halfback who carried the ball 42 times in last week's 13-7 victory over Lycoming. Zimmerman averaged 32 attempts last year and intends to increase his NCAA record in that category.

QB Ron Timko, local product from Plains, should be able to lead the offense to paydirt against the depleted Greyhounds. The always tough Aggie defense could hold Rocco Calvo's crew to minus yardage on the ground. Moravian lacks a first-string taskmaster since Jim Dietz signed a professional contract wifh the Philadelphia Phillies. Delaware Valley 14 Moravian O THE GOLD MACHINE OFFENSE. Affording the protection for the Colonel backfield during the 1969 campaign and the probable starters at their respective positions for tomorrow's away contest with Lycoming are: (left to right) tight end Jack Clarke, tackle Ed Burke, guard Les Loveland, center and captain George Conway, guard Bill Hanbury, tackle Nate Eustis, and split end Bill Lazor. The charges of Rollie Schmidt gun for their 30th consecutive win at Williamsport. Football Rules Revamp~d College football, at an all-time peak in attendance and on-the-field efficiency in 1968, will look about the same to the man in the grandstand in 1969. But it'll look different for the players, coaches and officials down on the field. "Especially for the p'l ayers," says Elwood Geiges of Norristown, an NCAA rules advisor and supervisor of officials for the Eastern Co llege Athletic Conference which fields 114 teams from Pittsburgh to Maine to Maryland. Therefore, Geiges, as are others across 't he nation in similar positions, 'is planning a tour of area football clinics to explain the changes in the rules that haven't been changed in 20 years. The players, especially, should take notice. They're going to pay heavily for "showboating" or blowing off too mu ch steam after scoring a touchdown. "It was getting ridic ulous, really sophomoric, the way some players were putting on an act after scar- ing," says Geiges . "From now on, their teams will be penalized when p layers throw or kick the ball away after getting into t'he end zone for a score." So , from now on, the player who scores wil'l have to hand or toss the bal'i to the nearest official - like a gentleman even if he is a sophomore so the business of getting on with the game may proceed without delay. The penalty for fai lure to comply is 15 yards assessed at the ensuing kickoff, which then will be made from the 25-yard line instead of the 40. The defensive players also will have to mind their manners this fal'l when charging on a punter . The new rule says a pun'ter remains a kicker until he has a reasonable time to regain his balance. "This one is about 50-50," says Geiges . "It might result in more penal'ties for roughing the kicker or it might keep the defenders away a little longer and result in fewer penalties. We're not sure. But it may eventually prove sound as a safety measure ." Among the new rules is a gimmick to smooth out problems for a team struggling to get out of its own terrUory. If there's hanky-panky by the de fense against any offensive player except the passer during an incompleted pass play, the penalty is assessed from the spot of the foul instead of the spot of the original down in question. This could mean quite a chunk of yardage. The rule helps players and coaclhes who love those sideline conferences during charged time outs. Last year, only one player could confer on the sidelines . Now it can be more than one player - t'hough only one a:t a time. There are a couple of other changes that probably on'ly Geiges and his fellow experts understand. He's going to ·try to explain them on his trip next mon'th to New York, Syracuse, Boston, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Philadelphia, but they'll never b e explained satisfactorily to the man in the grands'tand.

BHI Staake, a five-foot, four-inch 160-pound senior, handles this part of the Colonels' attack, and is recognized as the premier punter in th e Middle Atlantic Conference . Bill Staake Staake entered Wilkes in 1966 as a 137-pound wrestling candidate but decided to first try out for the Colonel grid team as a kicking specialist. One look at Sraake's booming punts was all Coach Rollie Schmidt needed to realize that he had indeed found an outstanding kicking prospect. Since that day in 1966 Staake has trotted onto the fieid many times to provide the Colonels' margin of victory with an accurate placement or a high, spiraling kick. Probably the most memorable occasion in the minds of Colonel followers occurred in 1966 when he punted 10 times against Delaware Valley to protect -a slim 6-0 Colonel margin. Staake set another Colonel record in game by booming one punt 66 yards downfield. Surprising as it may seem, this was not his proudest moment on the footba:11 field . Rather, he likes to remember the 27-0 victory over P.M.C. in 1967 and a tremendous 65yard punt. Staake also cited last year's Lebanon Valley game when he placed two balls dead within the 10-yard line. These achievements did not occur because of luck, but rather as a result of the tremendous pride and effort which Staake puts into his kicking. Each day the Colonels' kicker punts roughly 75 to 100 footbarls into the air in an effort to improve his timing and rhythm, both of which are important if he is to get fhe necessary height and distance on his kicks. Last year Staake's efforts culminated in a league-leading 39.8 average. An even more impressive statistic, however, was that of the 44 punts attempted by Staake only 17 were returned for any yardage at all, and this totalled only 123 yards. The average return on each of his punts was 7.24 yards per punt. Off the field Staake has also enjoyed some proud moments, the proudest of which occurred three weeks ago when his wife Patricia gave birfh to the'ir first child, Patrick Wi11iam II. Who knows, perhaps 20 years from now another Staake may again be setting records on the gridiron at Ralston Field.

The Colonels will be looking for their 30th straight win whi'le the Warriors will be trying to even their seasons record at one and one. Last Saturday, Lycoming lost a 13-7 heartbreaker to A~bright and figure to be upset minded as t hey take the field tomorrow afternoon. •Coach Budd Whitehill's charges employ a multiple offense bu'ilt around the passing talents of jun'ior quarterback Steve Miller who ranked third in the MAC in passing l'ast year with 72 completions in 162 attempts. Last week he picked up · where he left off last year with 12 comp1etions in 20 attempts for 101 yards. Miller's favorite targets are junior wingback Chip Kauffman and jun'ior end Jim Smith who caught 28 and 27 passes respectively last year. The Warriors biggest running threa1t is junior fullback Bill Curley who also does the placekicking. The offensive line which sports le'ttermen at nearly every position is built around senior guard Dale Overly who stands six feet and we'i ghs 200 pounds. Other players to watch are sophomore tackle Mike Greiner (six feet four inches and 250 pounds] and center Ed Genther (six feet and 190 pounds. Defensively the Williamsport school employs a basic 4-4 with two halfbacks and a safe'ty. The outstanding player on the defensive unit is junior halfback 'Bill Olsen. With 30 lettermen return'i ng and only 6 lost through graduation and 'ineligibility, to say that Lycom'ing has a veteran te,a m is an understatement. Based on last weeks game with A'lbright they appear quite a bit stronger than last years squad Which had a dismal 1-7 record. Practically the whole offense is back from last year's squad and it should prove to be a stiff challenge to the Co'lonels' revamped defense - especially if quarterback Miller is having an "on" day. The defense is also loaded with veterans and on the basis of its creditable job against Albright, it will not be easy to score against the Warriors. With a little luck, the Warriors could have won last week's game with Albright. Undoubtedly, they will .b e up for the Colonels tomorrow. A team such as this has nothing to lose if beaten and everything to gain by winning. Page 5 by Pete Herbst, Sports Editor In 1967 Dancer's Image won the Kentucky Derby but was disqualified when traces of a certain drug were discovered in a urinalysis. The public was in a state of shock over the matter. Not that the horse was us'i ng drugs during the race but the fact that Dancer's Image was disqualified. Imagine the pubHc's reaction when t hey discover that a great many athletes, equestrian or human, collegiate or profess'i onal are also using drugs. The drugs in use are in the center of a major controversy in the sports world that could erupt into a major scandal. Consider these examp'les: On November 1, 1968, in Grenoble, 23-year-old Yves Motfin was the surprise winner of a regional cross-country ,bicycle race. Two days later he died - and amphetamines were found. Pitcher Dennis McClain, of the Detroi't Tigers, takes shots - or at least he took a shot of cortisone in h'is throwing shoulder prior to the six'fh game of the 1968 World Series, the only game he won of three appearances. Arkansas quarterback Bill Montgomery suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter of 'the 1969 Sugar Bowl game, went to the sidelines for a shot of pain-kiUer and returned to the game to complete 11 passes to beat Georgia. These examp'les indicate the case for drugs: their benefits, disadvantages, harmful effects, and moral consequences. But how do the athletes come in contac•t With these drugs? The avail'ability of the drugs rises as as does the knowledge of them and with the increasing advancements made in med'icine. At present, most college teams have physic'ians who make the drugs available to the players. Naturally, the same holds true for professional sports. The Olymp'ics, where the maximum degree of competition and pressure takes place, is a crossroads of information for drug-users and administers. Here ,athletes and doctors exchange views and information about drugs, o'ld and new. It is interesting to note that most Olympic athletes consider their competitors to 'be more doped up than themselves. The Americans, meanwhile, coming from the !'and of the pill, are considered to be the most doped up of them all. The moral issue concerning drug usage is rather foggy with each side of the argument possessing valid points. The phys'i cal matter, whether the drugs are detrimental or not, is rather straightforward. There are two types of drugs in use . The first are restorative drugs wh'ich are used by athletes suffering from illness, injury, or pain. Painki:llers, barbiturates, musc'le-relaxers, and ,t ranquilizers are restorative drugs. Additive drugs are of a more dangerous na'ture. These are used with the intention of stimulating one's performance beyond natural ability. Best known of these are the amphetamines: Benzedrine, Dexedrine, and Me'fhadrine (Speed]. These drugs speed up circulation and respiration, and help individuals overcome fatigue. They ,also produce an unbeatable feeling in the individual. These drugs are especially dangerous. They are psychologically addicting. An overdose or too frequent usage causes cardiovascular collapse, cerebra'! hemorrhage, brain lesions, paranoia, and ulcers. With these factors in mind it seems that most athletes would not use the add·i tive drugs . But some do, though not as many collegiates as is commonly thought. Their viewpo'int is easily accepted: An athlete will resort to anything to better his performance. His point is wel'l taken. Don't athletes or fhe'i r coadhes constantly seek better equipment wh'i ch wfll help him or h'is team? Aren't the drugs then an interior equipment, also aiding the athlete? But the whole issue boils down to one point. If the athletes continue to use the drugs, then athletic competition will become extinct and be replaced by drug competition. The athlete who uses the superior drug will 'b e the winner. If fhat's the case, why not have a bunch of machines or computers all doped up, put them in uniform and march them onto the field?

In a daring move, the hooters of Coach Jim Nedoff decided to defy an MAC ruling and use freshmen during the upcoming season. "This move is almost necessary," commented Nedoff, "because the squad is rather small and the upperclassmen just don't have enough playing experience .

This is designed to offer final support to the four preceding elements. by Maureen Klaproth The first few weeks of sch ool have been quite nostalgic for your inveterate reporter - fu ll of hundreds of golden memories. Being around dur ing Fres hman Week gives one a chance to recall those days when everythin g on Campus was a myriad display of wonder, excitement, and even terror. I've wandered about and watched the clinging groups of frosh who are both desperate to appear like COLLEGE STUDENTS, and who must eventuall y admit that they are far from acclimated to the environment and they break down and ask some one how to find Weckesser Hall. One tends to laugh and tease a bit before directing the weary student on his way, and then suddenly it seems impossible to believe that the intricacies and mystery no longer re main for upperclassm en. We are aware that classes after a mere week will no longer seem exciting or unus ual, bu t an extension of those high school days we try to forget. The major difference will be that they do not follow each other in consecutive order, but are separa te d by breaks in the sched ul e. The big college da n ces and affairs th a t we once looked up to with expectations of find ing polished, sophisticated coeds and lettermen lose th e first glow, and suddenly we realize that they are every bit as nervous an d u nsure as we were back jn the gym at home.

It is A nationwide movement to protest the Vietnam war will be supported by the local Peace Sunday Committee on Wednesday, October 15. The Committee, headed by former Wilkes student Chris Shaw, has planned activities to voice the opinions of persons who wish to speak out against the war. These activities, discussed at a meeting held Sept. 22 at St. Stephen's Church, were based on a national moratorium that calls for the leaving of classes on Oct. 1 !i. Shaw, however, did not advocate or s'tress the need to leave classes on this day. Ra'ther, he expressed the need for help and support of these various functions . Also discussed at the September 22 meeting were the plans and progress of an underground paper. This paper will include articles written by anyone wishing to ex- press and make public his Vietnam ideas. However, the paper will not deal speci'fically with Vietnam, but with any contemporary problem. All articles are to be signed, with the exception of high schoo'l students, 'in order to prevent the persecution of loca'l papers. The Peace Sunday activities will begin at 11:30 a.m. with discussions, a vigil including 'the reading of all Vietnam casuaJ'ties, and a Presence on Faculty Groups Granted Student Delegates On October 13, the firs't step will be 'taken by Student Government to activate t'he program of Student Representation on Faculty Committees. The proposal was unanimously accepted by the faculty ·o n September 9 with reservations only in 'techn'ical changes . Now that these changes 'h ave been made, the program will go 'into effect immediately. In order for a s'tudent to obtain a pos·i tion on any of the 11 committees, a nomination procedure must take place . These 11 committees include: Academic Standing Committee, Admissions Committee, Ath'le'tic Committee, Calendar and Faculty Handbook Committee, Curriculum Committee, Educational Pol'icies Committee, Library Committee, 'Committee on Graduate Studies, Res earch and Service Committee, and Student Publications Committee. The first step in t he nom'ination process is the submission of app1'ica'tions. Application forms will be distributed to the student body on October 13. A twoweek communication period has been set aside, by Student Government, to inform the applicants of the nature of the various committees, 't he number of positions available, and fue deadl'ine for applications . This period ends Friday, October 24, with the deadline of all ap plications. The app'l ications are then scrutinized by the Student Nominations Committee. The Student Nominations Committee is comprised of the executive cabinet of Student Government and the class presidents of fue Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes. The Executive Counci'l of Student Government consists of the President, Dan Kopen; Vice-President, Jay Go.Jdstein; Treasurer, Bill Kaye; Recording Secretary, Mary Carol Hornya k ; Corresponding Secretary, Ina Brown ; President of IDC, Drew Gubanich; and an appointee from the day studen't population, Dave Lombardi. Under a po'i nt procedure policy, the Committee will choose the qualified applicants. Eligibility Requirements In order to be eligible for nomination the fo'llowing requirements mus't •be adhered to by those making application. The nominee must have achieved at leas't a sophomore standing and have completed at least two consecutive semesters at Wilkes. He must be a full-time student with a minimum academic load of 12 credit hours during the semester in which he is making appliac't ion. The nominee must also maintain the following minimum average depending upon his aca(Continued on Page 8) guerrilla theater. At 2 p.m., relevant topic discussions will be held, followed by a petition " . .. to end the war in Vietnam . . . and to free those jailed for violating draft Jaws . . ." In this petition, 'the Committee has some 500 signatures, including many elder members of the communi'ty. It reads as follows: "We, the undersigned, fully support the demands of the Peace Sunday Committee of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, for: "1. The immediate and total wifudrawal of a11 American troops from South Vietnam on the grounds that American military presence vio ates the right of the people of South Vietnam to determine their own destiny. "2. We further demand the immediate reiease of all those men now serving prison sentences because they refuse to figh't an immora'l war in Vietnam. After World War II we hanged Nazis because they obeyed orders rather than moral dictates. Today we imprison men for obeying moral dictates instead of orders. Th'is must stop ." The petition will be presen't ed in front of the Court House by the Peace Commi'ttee. Federal officials rece'i ving written invi'tations to hear the petition are Senators Sweicher, Flood, and Scott. Though not op'timistic about obta'ining the presence of the senators, Shaw ·did feel they would send repr esentatives because the Peace Sunday Commi'ttee was using its rig'ht to "petition grievances". All this scheduled itinerary is not definite. The Commi'ttee ne e ds the cooperation of c'ity and college officials for tlhe use of facilities for the moratorium. Dr. Francis T. Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs. does no't feel the need for disrup'tion of c'lasses on Oct. 15. He stated that "to accomplish our educat'ional purposes, the academic year is s'tructured so that the faculty may fulfill their primary obligations : To arbitrarily suspend classes and disrupt this process seems inconsisten't with the commitmen't 'the institut'ion has to its students." Dr. Farley Feted at Party In Honor of 70th Birthday by Anita Chowder "Thanks, it's swel'l!" was the heart-felt comment Dr. Eugene S. Farley u'ttered upon being greeted by family, faculty, and students at his surprise birthday party this past Sunday even'ing. Only these few word'S were necessary to express our President's gratitude. A quiet, informal atmosphere was enjoyed by those in attendance which added to the nostalgia of thP occasion during this, Dr. Farley's last year at Wilkes. Upon h'is entrance, •the fam'iliar tune rang out through the gym, commemorating fue 70th bMhday of an almost ir- replaceable member of the Wilkes Col'lege staff. Cer'tainly this even't brought to mind fhe many years Dr. Farley has spent in service and dedication, making Wilkes what it is today. Without h'i s backbone and concentrated effort, none of us could enjoy the opportunities afforded ' US at this time. The crowd gafuered around the floral-decorated head table as the "guest of honor" opened his gifts. Those pre-sents -h e received were both usefu'J and humorous which made the evening still more memoralble. Dr. Farley expre·ssed his delight with each gift and tried his hand at guessing the reason for the ·presentation of each one . Having witnessed 't he glee witlh which our President received his gifts, the guests filed to •t he head table to partake of the refreshments on hand. While music filled the air, the guests enjoyed both cordiaI conversation and company. Many friends , as well as students, took the opportunity to greet Dr. Farley and personally express their own best wis'he-s. The party was only a sma11 way of wishing Dr. Farley a happy birthday 'from all of his children, the " students of W'ilkes. Dr. Eugene S.

In this case we hope it is true. Last week we were remiss in extending birthday greetings to a very special person. Instead of passing over our error, we wish to redeem ourselves. Eugene S. Farley has been many things to · this Campus, in his 30 some years at its helm. We here at The Beacon have al· ways found our President enthusiastic in his praise and helpful in his criticisms. He extends this to every facet of Campus life he touches. While birthdays are a mile$tone in anyone's life - this year must seem particularly poignant for Dr. Farley. It's his final year as acting President of the institution he has literally carved out of this anthra cite region. If anyone can look back on a useful and productive career, our leader can . So, though we wish always the best things for him as he prepares to depart this Campus, we wonder if he has not indeed found the best things in life himself -while building his " Possible Dream."

Benson has been a starting member of the soccer squad since his freshman year. He p layed either fullback or halfback then, but now holds down a halfback position. Curt Benson The senior math major is a native of Jamesburg, N.J., where he was a four-letter man in soccer and baseball at Jamesburg High, a sc'hoo'l of under 1,000. He made the all-county soccer team and was voted most valuable player by his teammates. After a soccer match, he was approached by a Wilkes alumnus, Lou Lacoura, who inquired as to his future plans. Lacoura contacted Wilkes and arranged an interview No. 30 (Continued from page 5) years of rebu'ilding. Although the roster shows a host of returning lettermen, most were players who had seen limited action behind regulars. Although numb er 30 was won on Saturday, the preparation began in January with weight-lifting and running. Individual workouts ended and pre-season drifls began on Sept. 3rd. The 1969 Colonels boast of no great ability and the 'lineup includes few seasoned veterans . What motivated the victory Saturday was "Pride" and w hat enabled the performance was "Poise." The team makes no projections for an undefeated season . But there is one promise made to all who view or play against the Gold Machine: you can count on a well-drilled, wellconditioned footbatl team ·e xecuting fundamentals to exactness and filling each Blue and Gold uniform with t'he pride and poise that has made winning football a tradition at Wilkes. Upon that you can rely. Grid Statistics F riday , Oct ober 3, ~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I Spotlight On Sports: I I Interior Of tensive Line I for Benson with Jim Benson, our soccer coach fhen.

"Is the IDC president a powerful posrtion, or it simply an influential one? " I asked the question. Drew answered it. "I think to the purpose of getting what we want, that it is usually done in an influential manner. I can decide that we don't want to join a national conference, or wha't to give Dr. Farley, and things of that nature, but when we want somet'hing tike a rule changed, do it main1y through influence.

The college faculty has voted to extend the credi't-by-hour program. A total of 126 semester hours are required for t'he degree. This method wil1 enable the college to emphasize accompl'i shment, rather than the satisfac'fion of rigid credit-hour requirements as the chief concern of h'igher education. Students receiving cred'rts and exemptions , granted by proving competence on a national exam scale, are free to devote fhe time they have gained to fhe'ir major field or ofuer areas that interest them.

Perplex'ity is knowledge. 1 Public Square The administration at Birmingham University, London, has been thrown into confusion by a new form of student pro'test. Instead of boycotting exams, the students have been taking too many papers. Students have been walking into exams for w'hich they have not s't udied and are not officially registered. In some cases they have answered the set ques•rions, in others they have presented answers to questions fuey made up themselves . Results: no inconvenience for fel'low students, but more trouble for administrafion bure·a ucrats w'ho had to sort out the genuine from the fake papers . How's that for an idea to make a "constructive" protest and to "highlight the absurdities of the system"?

The movement received strong backing from the National Mobilization Committee to· End the War in Vietnam. It was the NMC that organized the demonstrations to coincide with the moratorium. Approximately 400 universities and colleges officially support the mov ement. At least twice that number are expected to participate. In Norfolk, Virginra, a memorial service will be held by cand lelight in front of the Fed eral Building from 3 p.m. until sunrise. It will include a reading of names of the American dead in Vietnam. In reaction to Peace Sunday , the most massive anti-Vietnam protest ever planned, Nixon has stated tha't nothing anyone does or says will affect his policies on the war. In retaliation to Nixon's statement, Dick Gregory told an audience at King's College that "anything the people of a country do affects the leaders of that country." Since the movement is organized by NSA, it is student-b ased, but adults and other non-students are being urged to participate. Peace Sunday requ ires that students boycott classes, or discuss the war in lieu of the regularly scheduled classroom topics. To this end, King's College has unanimously voted to support Peace Sunday. Wilkes College has abstained from any formal participation. The only formal statement for Wilkes was made by Dr. Francis Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs . He stated that "to arbitrarily suspend To arrive at figures representing classes and disrupt thi s (educationindividual club budgets, meetings al) process seems inconsistent with were held last spring by SC.

It is all too easy to pass over the significance of such an announcement. Yet those who have followed the developments · of the past several years on various campuses throu ghout the nation , will recognize that the very topic that has provided such discomfort for other institutions has caused no uproar at Wilkes. Without one protest march or a takeover of Weckesser , Wilkes students have achieved an ultimate goal of today's col legiate societies. The credit belongs to many who have striven to attain the representation. Without listing specific names we thank these students. And to that we add a special thank you to those on the faculty and administrative staffs who placed faith in the student body. Obviously they feel that we have the ability and integrity to stand equal with them on some very important committees. It remains for those chosen to represent us on the committees to justify the re sponsibiilty placed upon us . Jette1-J tc t~e {t/itc,- ROTC: Surrenders Led by the communist-oriented Students for a Democratic Society (SOS), there were many protests last winter against the Reserve Officers Trainin g Corps (ROTC), which supplies 88 per cent of t he officers in the United States Army . Some colleges and univers ities have succumbed to this attack from our homegrown communist enemies. The Penta gon has decided to curtail ROTC at Harvard and Dartmouth. This surrender is a victory for the foes of the United States and will undoubtedly offer encoura gement for a revival of the anti-ROTC marches during the present academic year. If other institutions weaken and follow the path taken by Harvard and Dartmouth , the militant radicals will achieve their goal - weakenin g the nation 's defense operations. Additional ROTC cutbacks would also remove a freedom of choice for the nation's patriotic youth , which constitutes the great majority of our college students , who want the opportunity to prepare for military service. ROTC has an important place in the nation's future. It must not be jeopardized by the militant radical minority nor by the college authorities who bow to their unreasonable demands. WILKES' Potpourri After the first few weeks of school, the little and big things have already begun to plague us . Among the questions flying to and fro on our fair Campus are: -When, oh when, will someone find a solution to the parking problem? -To the city fathers : Will Wilkes coeds ever feel safe walking along the River Commons during the evening? (Lights might help, ya know!) -To the cat: How about a better grade of hamburger? If we are going to eat it seven days a week, we should have the best! -And by the way, whatever happened to the state law concerning the wearing of hairnets by those who handle food? -Wouldn't it be nice to have cleaning ladies that CLEAN? -Where is the enthusiasm at Ralston Field that should support a team with a 31-game winnin g streak? -Why must the Student Government meetings be so long and dull? -Weren't we lucky to be able to tear a page off our calendars the first day? -Wouldn't it be nice if everyone who criticizes The Beacon would drop in on Sunday nights to contribute their wisdom? -Will there ever be a solution to the ordeal of registration?

Peace March Is Organized By Dickinson , CARLISLE, Pa.-The Student Mob'ilization Committee of Dickinson College is organizing a "March for Peace" against the United States Army War College in Carlisle on the afternoon of Wednesday, October 15. The march will be held in conjunction with the National Vietnam Moratorium. Outside of the Pentagon, the Army War College in Carlisle houses the largest concentration of military brass (senior officers} involv ed in the strategic planning of war. Carlisl e's position in 'the top 10 strategic nuclear attack targets gives some indication of the War College's importance . The Dickinson SMC has stated t'h e effectiven ess of this march will be directly proportional to the number of people who come to Carlisle to participate. Carlisle is loated at Exit 16 on t'he Pennsylvania Turnpike. But service is readily available from any point in Pennsylvania. For those who must stay overnight, housing will be pro vided; how ever, participants are urged to bring sleeping bags . On arrival, marchers will c'h eck in at the Dickinson College Holland Union Building before 1 p.m. For further information, contact SMC, Box 769, Dickinson College , Carlisle, Pa. 17013 or phone 717-2434011 and ask for a member of the SMC Ste ering Committee . Result of the SG elections held on Oct. 2 were as follows: Bill McGraw, senior SG represen tive; David Krajew ski, Vicepresident of Junior class; Sally Donoho, Dennis Brew, James Butkuwiz and John Cherundolo as junior SG representives.

The Moravian Greyhounds were set upon ;fhe destruction of The Wi'lkes dynasty last Saturday afternoon. A well-drilled, well-conditioned ball club, the Hounds came to Wilkes-Barre with their sights on an MAC championship, the Lambert Bowl, and the singular distinction of ending a thirty game winning streak. They left town a bewildered and disappoin led ballclub. The Moravian offense moved the b'al1 wel'l against the Colonel "D", particularly on the ground. The Hounds galloped to 199 yards, concentrating on the interior line. The Greyhounds defense applied fierce and consistent pressure 't hroughout the afternoon. Colonel punter Bill Staake was forced 'to punt eight times in the game which indicates th e press ure. The same Colonel offense that ran and passed for 304 yards against Lycoming the previous week managed just 225 total yards.

Colonel pass defense pilfered four aerials Saturday and allowed only 51 yards gained in the air. Booters Face Lycom ing After Rout By Text ilers After defeating Moravian College for the first time on Sept . 30th, the Colonel boaters got bombed by Philadelphia Textile last Saturday, 6-1. The Blue and Gold blanked the Greyhounds, 1-0. The Colonels look ahead to some rough competition when they oppose Lycoming tomorrow afternoon, away. They stay on the road until Wednesday when they meet Scranton University. Game 't ime at Scranton is at 3 :30. Coach Jim Nedoff's charges probably played the finest game of the season against Moravian . Sophmore goalie Chip Eaton observed, "We played like a team, the way we're supposed to. We were up for the game and all the guys jelled." It was the team's second shutout of the season and third straight win. Eaton paced the team's defensive efforts with nine saves. He was helped considerably by Dave Bogusko an d Mike Bergbauer. The home crowd at Ralston Fie ld saw the lone score of the game come with 11 :16 left in the game. Bill Murphy converted a pass from Ed Garabedian and sent it through the goal from twenty fee't out. But last Saturday the roof caved in for Colonel hooters as Philadelphia Textile invaded Ralsto n Field. Th e squad from th e city of brotherly love showed no such affection as they completely dominated the game. Previously, the Textilers ·had scored as many as 12 and 14 points a game against such opponets as Rutgers and Temple. The Wilkesmen opened the scor'ing when Bill Tarb et took a p·ass from Curt Benson to give Wilkes a lead after four minu tes of play. But that lead was short-lived as Textile mounted a furious attack which resulted in three goals at the end of th e first half and three more in the final p eriod. The Textile attack never ceas ed as they pounded the goal close to "forty" shots. Goalie Chip Eaton thought the figure was closer to "a million shots." All the Colonels had praise for their opponents as they witnessed the Textilers amazing ball-handling coordination. Withh most of their stars either sop mores or juniors you can expeel to hear a lot from them in the fu ture. The Colonels' record now stands at 3-1. They will try to improve it this week against some rough competition. 0 1 0 0 -1 Wilkes 0 0 0 0 -0 Moravian Wilkes Moravian 20 21 Shots 9 10 Saves 1 Corner Kicks 11 7 0 Offside Kicks "1 '.J □□□□□□□□□ o □ ooa □ □□ □□ □ □ □□o □□ oo □□ □□ □ □ □ □□□□ □□ □□ □ □ o □□□□ 0 □ 0 □□ 0 □ 0 □□ □ □ □ □□ □0 □ □□ □□□□□□□ □ 0 □ 0 □□ 0 0 00 0 □ 0 0 □□ :J PENSAK'S DELICATESSEN lorio's Wholesale Jewelers WE MAKE SANDW ICHES Hours: M, W, Th, S, Sun 7 a.m. • 7 p.m. Diamonds, Watches G ifts, '7ewelry Tu, F 7 a.m. - 2 p.m. Room 909 , I.B.E.

The Wilkesmen's offensive efforts seemed to be riddled with setbacks: fumbles, key ·i nterceptions, and bad snaps. All these added to Coach Schmidt's woes . In retrospect, th e final score of the encounter that took p'lace a't Ralston Field last Saturday is hard to believe. Those viewing the game in the stands and those enjoying the T.V. color coverage could not help bu't become personally invo'lved in the game. There was no w'inner until the last 10 seconds. Even after the final whistle had blown, players and fans found it difficult to breathe normally. It 'i s a strange phenomena that can bind thousands of people together for two hours of suspense on any given fall afternoon. Perhaps t his is the essence of football. This is collegiate football's centennial year and its charm, attraction, and majesty is as great, if not greater, than it was when a collegiate first donn ed a helmet. The 1969 Moravian contest is over. Some would at tribute the victory to 'l uck. These are the same naive spectators who viewed fhe other dose contest which were won during the streak as due to luck. Luck? Wilkes 9, Upsala 7. Luck? Wilkes 14, Del, Valley 13. There is no such word in football jargon like L-U-C-K. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. The 6-0 win is a tru e indication of the desire emblematic of the '69 Colonels . Each team th e Colonels face play their best. This demands the Colonels be at their peak week after w eek .

Page 7 Mantione, Naylor Pace Judo Club Submitted by The Judo Club Beginning last year, continuing to grow in the summer, and sprouting new incentive this fall, the Wilkes Judo Club stands as a paramount example of student leadership . The co -ed team of Patrick J. Mantione, president, and Sandra Naylor, secretary-treasurer, have in effect created a club that began with a dec1S10n: to build something of quality, character, and integrity and divorced of superficiality. The club is broadly based upon the Japanese martial arts of judo, karate, jujiutsu, ahaiido (the way of the samurai sword) and a few of the Japanese domestic arts . The club resulted from spontaneous group action; the efforts of Charles Spano (instructor), James Hosart, Mel Rogers, Don Shutt, George Meguschak, Ina Brown, and Lucille Polluhe (instructor) cannot be discounted. The group decision was backed up with action. On March 15, 1969, the First Annual Wilkes Judo Tournament, a complete success, attracted over 100 participants from In 23 years, Wilkes football teams have posted a record of 87 wins, 88 losses, 5 ties for a winning percentage of .497. The Colonels currently rank fourth on the All-Time College Division streak list with 31 wins ... the only teams in college division history with more wins is: Missouri Valley (41) 1941-48 ; Hillsdale (34) Muhlenberg at Lebanon Valley 1954-57 . . . . The longest streak in The Mules should have an easy collegiate history belongs IQ the time of it, though Lebanon Valley Oklahoma Sooners with 47 from should provide more competition 1953-57. than Haverford did last week.

The club, realizing a need for a broader program, revised the constitution to include a karate training division, added promotional requirements, and executive committees to deal with special business. This enabled members with both administrative and athletic ability to fully participate in the club's growth. The Judo Club Orientation Program began by including printed brochures that illustrated and explained the structure, officers, and instructional programs offered to all students and faculty at Wilkes College. In addition, an Orientation Discussion at Stark 109, September 11, headed 'b y Mantione, Naylor, and Spano, presen'ted martial arts history, present structure, and films of contestants in action. The discussion was an outstanding success with over 200 students attending. In conjunction with discussion programs, the week ended with a demonstration of judo, karate, and self-defense by the, Wilkes Judo Club. Various levels of proficiency were demonstrated in karate and judo attacks and counters with the help of James Ambrose, special black belt guest from Wyoming Karate Club. Finally a series of tournament contests were fought with RC1bert Amcherani, special black belt guest from Scranton Judo Club . As a special project the Judo Club has invited t'he special services of Prof Ryozo Nahamura. For clinical purposes Prof Nahamura is a highly esteemed black belt from Tokyo and acted as a special complement to the Japanese police as jiu jitsu instructor. The Judo Club invites students and faculty (of both sexes) to sample the benefits of martial arts training and to participate in the growth of an action club under registered experienced instructors. On September 20th the Penn Central Promotional Committe e Tournament took place here. The following people achieve the Tokyo standing, the fourth level junior grade: Sandra Waylor, Charles Spano, Patrick Nantione, James Gosart, and Bill Talman.

The Minnesota paper carried an artic'le, complete with pictures of an expedition through the extensive steam tunnels located 100 feet below the campus. The shaft system, which sometimes reaches a temperature of 140 degrees, generally around 120 degrees, extends in one way or another, to nearly every building at the huge University. One of the most exciting things, says the author, is to climb up each shaft along the tunnel to see where it enters the building. In particular, the author re'l ated a humorous ·incident in which the shaft entered a women's lavatory unexpectedly. Quite a pioneer in his fie'ld, the author has also explored tunnels on the St. Paul campus of his school, at Macalseter College, Iowa State U., the U. of Nebraska, and Emporia State Teacher's College in Kansas. He also said that, while on a trip to Washington, D.C., he had discovered an entrance to a steam tunnel between the White House and the Executive Office Building. A major focus of the Student's Association, the student governing body at the University of Texas, has been the war against ·a pathy. Soccer Explained (Continued from Page 6) the game .

THE BEACON Page 2 Final Examination Exemption Policy Student Government has been discussing the possibility of endorsing the adoption of a final examination exemption policy. After much ' investigation The Beacon would like to lend its support to the proposal and ask that it be put into effect immediately. The final exam schedule, as it now exists, is not one which measures the student's performance in a particular course for one semester. It merely pressures him into a rigorous week where he must resort to stimulants to withstand the ordeal. Many scholastic endurance records are established as individuals find it necessary to cram for days in order to prepare for the "three-hour torture." An exemption policy, preferably one which would apply to A .and B grades, would place more emphasis on the semester's work and relieve the tension at the end. This tension exists both for the student, who must prepare for the exam, and for the professor, who must grade it within a certain time period. The exemption would work as a "reward" for outstanding effort during the 15-week semester. The policy would also work as an asset for the student who is having difficulty in one subject because it would allow him more time to prepare for that particular final. Let's hope that action along these lines begins immediately. BEA.CON Boosters Band t ettel'J tc t,e { t/itcl' Week after week the Colonels' grid team receives the plaudits of countless fans and press. Yet week after week another "team" just as well-practiced puts out consistently and successfully. We refer to the Wilkes College Band, which plays at football games to the satisfaction of the spectators. No doubt we have all heard the band introduced at pep rallies and various col lege functions as one of the finest musical groups in the East. Yet, little recognition is actually given to this expert group that must practice as regularly as any athletic team to display the proud presentations it does. Through the first games of the season many comments have been expressed showing the appreciation for the pre-game and halftime numbers. Displaying versa - tility by swinging from show tunes to "Tijuana Brass" to spirited football numbers, the band keeps toes tapping and hands clapping. Not only that, but anyone who has sat near the band in the stadium knows that this group displays some of the finest spirit and enthusiasm, cheering loudly between numbers. It literally "gets the gang to sing a song!" And it does this through rain and snow and heat - not the best climates in which to make music. Pride and poise can certainly be applied to the band, and for this we also thank the music department which has fashioned it. Paraphrasing one of the band's own favorite cheers: It doesn't mess around! What Is The Answer? Student organizations at the College fall into two categories: productive and nonproductive, or active and inactive, or simply good and bad. To differentiate between the two is an easy task. An active club, among other activities, schedules and holds well-organized meetings, has an adequate and interested mem bership, and sponsors varied activities. The activities range from the social, such as dances and parties, to the intellectual, such as lectures and field trips. The inactive clubs would logically be the antithesis of the active organizations. Meetings are held haphazardly, if at all, and any undertakings are handled by the same people all the time. Membership is minimal. Other than the yearly dances which they sponsor and the parties which they hold, they have no activities. The difference is not merely in the num ber of activities which the individual clubs hold, but in the kind. Social activities are not the end purpose of the College clubs. The originators of every organization on campus had more than purely social diversion in mind when they formed the clubs. Many of them were formed primarily as means to provide students with academic opportunities and activities that they could not have in their classes. As may be seen, some of these clubs have deteriorated from their original plans into social clubs. Where does. the answer to the problem lie? The only key we can find is the leaders of such organizations. Oftentimes stu dents aim for high positions in clubs merely for the prestige of the job or to add another activity to their already large and all-important extra -curricular record. Once the position is attained, the new leader has no interest in his position. Imaginative, effective, and above all, enthusiastic leadership is essential to the well-being of any group. Club leaders should examine their groups and if any signs of poor organization exist, they should then examine their own leadership in light of their obligations to their memberships and to the College.

Reif Regulation of the human population is the primary problem on Earth at the present time but another problem related to the regulation of the human population is that of determining the age at which a person may cast a ballot in a democratic society. The pressing need of today in this respect is to raise the voting age, despite frantic cries by many to lower the voting age. In this context the privilege of exercising one's franchise is not a right but a responsibility. Thus, the need for a responsib le electorate is related not only to the maturity of the voters, but, as well, to the wis dom of the voters . Of prime importance in the maturity and wisdom of the electorate is the education of the individuals. Accepted by all is the fact that the knowledge explosion has kept pace with the population explosion. To absorb the basic knowledge necessary to be educated in a sophisticated society such as that of the technological United States of America requires more time on the part of the people than in any other society in the history of mankind. If the needs of such a society for more and more highly educated individuals are to be met, and protected, the general ability of an educated electorate to comprehend those needs must rise. To extend the franchise to those who are less well prepared to vote intelligently hardly seems wise. Another factor is working in the American society which materially influences the degree of maturity of that portiOJl of the population which has not yet become finan- cially independent. The factor is somet imes referred to as the Midas Rule which generally holds that during periods of prosperity the attainment of overall maturity is delayed. For example, in this period of American affluence, the young people requ ire more years to learn the hard facts of physical survival than was required by the young people of the Great Depression in the years following the economic decline of 1929. So to disregard the Midas Rule at this particular time in American history and to lower the voting age does not appear to he warranted. Granted that some people below the age of 21 have achieved a degree of biological maturity sufficient to make them best suited for some activities, the attainment of maturity in the realm of finance, in the realm of social understanding, in the realm of psychological stability, and in the realm of the spirit, far outweigh using only biological maturity as a criterion for lowering the voting age. Time does not permit a discussion of the deleterious effects of television on the education of the present crop of people under 21. Nor does time permit considering the divisive effects of those pressure groups, young and old, which seek their own welfare at the expense of the survival of the human species. So, as is the case of conclud ing that self denial in matters of family size can alleviate population pressure, one can conclude that self denial in terms of being patient in the matter of voting is one of the best possibilities for ensuring an electorate with the wisdom to select a course of survival. by Frank Mccourt Would you rather go to an underdevefoped country and help the people or would you rather go to an underdeveloped country and kill the people? Of course you do not have your choice, but if you did what would you do? As it exists now, the government's selective service system offers two basic choices: induction into the military or jail. If you choose jail you are still draftable when you get out. The draft is poisonous. It pollutes the minds of millions. Its name implies something that it is not. Selective Service? Random would be a better word. The scattershot methods by which the government det ermines who will b e drafted are only part of the reason that aversion to the draft is at an all time high. Draft boards are understaffed, ill-equipped and totally unrepresentative of the persons whose lives they control. Of these board members who control the lives of all male Am ericans 18-26, 25% are over 65, less than 2% are black and a good percentage are women. Not surprisingly, most local board members have never been in the service themselves. Even those who do not fall victims of the conscription are indirectly affected by it. The government offers deferments to people engaged in certain occupations such as science or teaching . This process of offering deferm ents for doing certain things can and does effectively channel people into doing them. In this way th e system has an influence on the lives of even those who are not actually drafted . Sel ec tiv e Service Director General Lewis Hershey openly admits that channelling is purposely done by the government. In defense of the draft, however, h e is quick to point out that the the men that are ne eded when they w e re needed ." Whether or not they are needed at this point seems to b e strictly a matter of opinion to many. If a draft is required to pro- duce the men necessary to defend a country, then there is probably no threat to th e country's security. If the citizens of a country are not dedicated to the ideals of their country's government, th en the government is clearly not of the moral fiber necessary to create the support required for its own existence . If a store sells what people will not buy then it cannot profitably remain in business . Avoiding the draft originally began as a mov e to avoid ending up in Vietnam. Now it is much more than that. The issue now presents a challenge to an outdated and unfair system. "It's very unjust." replied one marine recruiting sergeant when asked how he felt about the draft. He further explained that the non-selective manner of choosing was due to understaffed boards who "simply do not have the time to carefully go through the fil es and consider each case separately. " Sentiments against the draft run especially high in college men, who after four years of college you do not feel kindly towards the prospect of spending mor e years in the service. Leaving the country to avoid the draft is a concession to its vast inexorable pow er. Most persons would like to serve their country but they do not wish to do so by being pawns at the wrong end of an industrial defense complex. They would be more inclined to give up several years of their lives in the service of their country if the choice includ ed work in more constructive veins suc'h as the Peace Corps or VISTA. This theory is supported by the high reenlistment rates of those organizations. Most do not in the words of one peacenik: "want to fight an ungodly war over totally in tangible assets." By what means then, may the government allay th e hard feelings its conscription has generated? What the draft n eeds, obviously, is emendation, but a long what lines (Continued on Page 8) WHAT• WHERE• WHEN Friday, October 17 Dance - WILKES gym, music by the MATCH BOX. 9-12 p.m. Saturday, October 18 Football - WILKES vs. Ithaca (away), 2 p.m. Soccer - WILKES vs. Stevens (home), 2 p.m. FEDERAL SERVICE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION-Stark Hall, Rooms 109 and 116, 8:30 a.m. Senior Hayride Tuesday, October 21 Manuscript Film - The Bridge, CPA, 7:30 p.m. No admission charge.

SEE YOU LATER! Halfback Teddy Yeager cuts through the line for the start of a 77-yard touchdown run. It was Yeager's third TD of the campaign and longest run in his co llegiate career. Colonels gained 167 yards on the ground in the 27-10 rout of Delaware Valley. Gold Machine To Shoot Down Blue Bombers of Ithaca Sa t. by Rick Bigelow Number 33 will be the objective as the Colonels take on the Ithaca Blue Bombers tomorrow afternoon at South Hill Field in Ithaca. The Colonels will be going for their fourth win this year while the Blue Bombers will be seeking their third straight win after losing their opening two contests. Head coach Jim Butterfield's veteran squad was soundly thrashed in its first two contests against West Chester and Lehigh but has rebounded to beat Cortland State and Susquehanna convincingly . Twenty-two lettermen are among this year's starters, including last year's top rusher, Rod Howell (5'11", 185 pounds), who gained 419 yards on 126 carries. Last week against Susquehanna, Howell carried 34 times for 164 yards and one touchdown. The other big threat in the backfield is sophomore quarterback Doug Campbell who is coming off two great games against Cortland and Susquehanna. He completed 25 passes for 169 yards against Cortland and ran and passed for 189 yards and three touchdowns against Susquehanna. Other starters in the backfield are Tom Polimeni, an excellent blocking back, and flanker John Westbrook. The ends are Gary Meierdierks (6', 190 pounds) and Ed Syron (6'3", 220 pounds). The offensive line includes Bob Wojnar (6'2", 220 pounds) and Brent Thorndike at tackles, Bob Krezner (5'10", 180 pounds) and Ned Ennis (5'10", 190 pounds) at the guards, and captain Gary Worden (5'10", 190 pounds) at center. The Itha:cans use a wide tackle six defense which has six linemen, two linebackers, two halfbacks, and a safety . The defensive ends are Jim Branski (5'10", 175 po unds] and Gary Mix (6', 190 pounds], the tackles are Chuck Moot (5'10", 195 pounds) and Wes Kissel (5'10", 190 pounds], and the guards are Greg Whitney (6'3", 205 pounds) and Andy Lambie (6'3", 225 pounds). The linebackers are Fred Recchia (5'11", 185 pounds] and Al Cihocki (6', 190 pounds), a native of Nanticoke. The halfbacks are Dave Reed and Dick Collins while the safety is Charlie Hill. Offensively, the Blue Bombers run from the "I" formation. Quarterback Campbell runs a lot with the ball, mostly on option sweeps, similar to Wilkes' attack. He doesn't like to throw too much, especially if the Ithaca ground game is clicking. However, he can throw with great accuracy as is evidenced by his performance against Cortland. The defense is still an unknown entity. It gave up over 50 points to West Chester and Lehigh, 28 to Cortland, and 14 to Susquehanna. It appears to be getting better, but is probably not good enough to stop the Gold Machine. To say that Ithaca will be up for the Colonels is redundant. Each week the Gold Machine faces a highly charged opponent bent totally on an upset. Each week the Colonels rise to meet the challenge and each week the Gold Machine emerges victorious. This is the mark of a great team. in the second quarter, while of its few drives of the day, g scored the only tally it on a head-ball that caught Chip Eaton off guard.

For TD And Lazor Breaks School Record by Pete Herbst The Colonels finally put it a ll to gether - an explosive offense and a stingy defense. In previous games either the offense sputtered, as in the Moravian contest, or the de fense was very generous, as in the Lycoming encounter. The Gold Machine's offense and "D" got together for a cool romp over Delaware Valley, 27-10, to garner number 32. There were numerous heroes on each unit. Tailback Ted Yeager scooted 78 yards from scrimmage for a score. Fullback Bob Gennaro, averaging 3.3 yards per carry, scored three touchdowns. Split-end Bill Lazor caught nine passes for 158 yards which broke Joe Skvarla's old record. Defensively, Delaware Valley QB Ron Timko threw four passes to Wilkes receivers, half as many as his own receivers caught. This was the second consecutive game that the secondary (including linebackers) pilfered four passes . Garf Jones and Ron Hillard each had one. The Aggies opened the scoring with a 32 -yard field goal with 7:33 remaining in the first quarter. Their lead, however, was shortlived. Twenty seconds later, Colonel QB Joe Zakowski pitched out to Yeager, who cut over the right side from his own 22 and took it all the way for Wi lkes' first score. T h e tight battle raged th roughout most of the third quarter. Finally, with a li ttle over four minutes left, Gennaro climaxed a 70-yard drive with a plunge from the one. Trailing by 10 points, Timko was forced to go to the air. His offense didn't see the ball too much after that since Jones intercepted. After Gennaro scored again, Hillard grabbed another Timko pass and Gennaro again scored. The Gold Machine had exploded for three touchdowns in just 20 seconds. Ahead 27-3, Coach Rollie Schmidt rested his regulars by substituting freely. John Williamson was a welcome sight on the field, as it was his first appearance of the season. Williamson, 6-1, 210-pound defensive end, was injured in preseason practice.

"These freshmen have a lot of desire and pride, and will undoubtedly carry on the winning tradition here ·a t Wilkes." These were the words of head offensive line coach Charles Adonizio after the B-team game against Scranton University . Wilkes won, 13-0. Because the MAC rules don't allow freshmen to play varsity confererice games, the freshmen have formed a proud group of their own, the Yellowjackets. Their purpose during the week is to run the opposition's offense against the Wilkes defense in preparation for the upcoming game. But Monday, October 6, was the first time the Yellowjackets were able to perform as a team against live opposition. It resulted in a 13-0 win. The defense was composed primarily of upperclassmen. They held Scranton intact for the entire game. The defense was particularly effective in a first -quarter goal-line stand.

One where such figures as Rod Laver or Arthur Ashe Qiances are you haven't and if you have you know the rul es of tennis. One of the more well-known ru'les is a player can white clothes so as to not disturb his opponent. Another rule die spectators and players. That is, Vhe fans are not expected p, or yell during the game. But they can do so after a point tor after the completion of a game or set. So what happens if a player executes a particularly exciting play or makes a fan tastic shot? Well, he is expected to hold his enthusiasm until a point is scored so his yelling doesn't upset the opponent's concen!ration. What •about booing? It is every fan's right and privilege to boo an official if he makes a bad call. Not so in tennis. At Forest Hills , tennis capital of America, booing is replaced by low whistling. Quite interesting but not very pulsating. What is pulsating, however, is football and the part the fans play. Obviously there are no retrictions on the fans in terms of flleHerbst their ability to yell, scream, or boo. But not so obvious, at least it's not here at Wilkes. Some fans re at Forest Hills and not Ralston Field. To say that the fans at all is false. To -say they are not very spirited is more . t glance, one can attribute the unspirited fans to the cheer- s the job of the cheerleader to psyche up the people in the 'tit?

The football team cannot be the cause of dull crowds . think with a team like the Gold Machine performing such winning over 30 consecuti ve games you wouldn't even need - the crowds would cheer anyway. It should come autoto cheer the likes of Ted Yeager, Bill Lazor, or Charles Fick. cheerleaders? The Wilkes crew is a dedicated one. On •a fall the girls will sometimes cheer two games - soccer and footcheers they lead are very basic and simple. So simple, in fact, e college student can pick them up and be able to repeat them nds. That is the reason the cheers are simple, so the fans can . After all, 6,000 voices make a helluva lot more noise than 12. that leaves us, the fans. The fans with one of the best teams liege football. The fans with some cheerleaders who yell like Saturday afternoon. The fans with tennis voices. Ironically, people leave their spirit where they keep their banners - back rm. Why not bring those banners to the game?

The man chosen for the job is a grad uate of Coughlin High School and Wilkes College, class of 1969. During his scholastic career at Wilkes, Pawlush was Chairman of Student Elections, a member of The Beacon staff, the Student Government, and President of the Circle K for three years. In his capacity as Director of the Department of Sports Information, Pawlush is responsible for ,a ll stories concerning Colonel athletics that are released to the newspaper, radio, and TV media. Much of his time is also spent sending out information on various athletes to their hometown newspapers Besides preparing these stories for release to the media, Pawlush also has compiled a new football brochure which includes all Wilkes team and individual records as well as a rundown on all the team's opponents. Pawlush has also improved the football programs to the point where on the last two home dates of the season the programs will be 20 and 24 pages long. Also , in the early planning stages are programs for both basketball and wrestling. More articles in the newspapers, improved football brochures, and lengthened programs aren't the only accomplishments of our new Sports Information Director. Pawlush has also planned a half-time program for the Vermont game on October 25 when the all-time Wilkes football team will be presented. When he's not busy with his new position, Pawlush spends his time traveling across the country as National Junior Director of the Federated Russian Orthodox Youth Organization Clubs. This organization boasts a m embership of 2,000, ages 12-18, and Pawlus'h is responsible for organizing its entire program. He is very proud of the members of this organization, and stresses the fact that it is very important to channel the activities of today's youth in the right direction. Pawlush also had some comments to make . He stated, "The spirit of the football team and the teamwork they have shown is greater than any I have seen in my five years here at Wilkes.

LEHIGH has admitted men only to its undergraduate col'leges since 1865, though female graduate students have matriculated since 1918. The recommendation, a 141-page committee report, has been accepted for study and consideration by the Joint Commission on University Life and forwarded to the Board of Trustees for study and ,f inal decisions . The Women 's Executive Council of EAST STROUDSBURG STATE COLLEGE has formed a committee to investigate hazing programs. They have stated that by some means, possibly questionaires, they "want to find out the feelings of all the women students on the present hazing policies ." They "want to represent all women on campus, and would appreciate those stud ents who have ideas or complain ts; to use the many channels open to them, such as their hallcouns elors. Perhaps WILKES should ask for an open discussion on hazing? The American Civil Li'berties Union and the Virgina Association of Student Government will jointly sponsor three regional forums on Student Rights during the 1969-70 academic year at OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY, VIRGINIA. The forum feels that it is important for the students and the entire academic community to understand Selective Service (Continued from Page 3) is difficult to say. Regardless of how many amendments or changes are made the basic issue will remain the same. That being whether or not the government should have an y say over the personal lives of those who do not wish to have their lives controlled. The government has, for the most part made no moves to improve the system. There have been a few moves, but they have beer. of a political nature. The basic attitude still seems to be "if you don 't like it leave", which is exactly what people have b ee n and are doing. There will always understandably exist opposition to any system which exerts such an invidious influ ence on the lives of so many. That opposition, although it cannot be eliminated, can be appeased. Lowering the voting age to include those affected (disaffected?] would provide an almost irrelevant yet significant step. That someone can fight in Vietnam yet have no say in choosing the people who sent him there is to say the least, inane. Another way is to widen the draft choice to include the Peace Corps, VISTA, hospital work, or possibly even teaching. Of course if that ever happened the Army would probably go out of business, but then there is even a solution to that. Let draftees who object to war, fulfill their obligation in noncombat activities such as stateside office work. The draft is unjust and cannot be made just. It can be made more tolerable by less ening the extent to which it und ermin es our society. If it strips itself of its narrow scope and dev elops a liberal attitude mor e characteristic of the people it involves, it can, at least come to serve the people of this country, which is something that I hon estly believe it does not do now.

Wilkes Eleven Determined To Bounce Back From Tragic Finale to 32-Game Win Record by Pete Herbst, Sports Editor The Blue and Gold Machine gets set to roll again tomorrow and start a new win streak after dropping its first game in over four years. The Bombers of Ithaca got into the record book by downing the Colonels, 13-7. Thus the 32-game winning streak which began on October 16, 1965 came to an end on October 18, 1969. Playing on 'home turf, the Bombers scored minutes after rec eiving the opening kickoff.

Four-Day Colloquy Held at Bucknell by staff writer Frank Mccourt correspondent Rich Urciuoli -Bucknell's fourth annual Colloquy was held last weekend on the campus at Lewisburg. Students from renowned colleges and universities, editors of controversial magazines and newspapers, authors of controversial 1books, and the leaders of various ad hoc organizations all w ere present to share and exchange their philosophies and ideas. When we arrived on the campus, about 50 pages of assorted literature were dumped into our laps. We were told to keep clean, because due to the quality of people that would be present on the campus, a 'b ust could 1be anticipated. Besides, our minds were going to be so d eluged with information, that there wasn't going to be much room ·for anything else. None o·f the conversations were superficial at the conference. There was a marked absence of discussion concerning Vietnam. These people do not have to talk about Where it's at; they are where it's at. They are not concerned with today, or wifh the problems of today, partially because everyone present is totally aware of the problems facing today's world and no one can say anything about them that everyone else doesn ' t already know. For this reason the emphasis was on solutions; planning for tomorrow. How to create a society which will not exploit its own people was a primary topic around which many Of special interest, however, was of the discussions revolved.

If you do not think, or question, then don't bother to read. For this will ask you to think. The picture is a symbol. The sun is setting, the background blurred, yet some lights shine through. The light of thought that all knowledge should be based on. The Wilkes sign is outstanding, as Wilkes probably is to most of you at this point in your lives. Wilkes College with dying light in the horizon and a few beams left to carry on a name. You have all been told you are apathetic, you have no "school spirit," you miss meetings , and you avoid class responsibility. Yet, we do have "class leaders" who are more than willing to assume the responsibility that so many others have shirked. Why are there leaders and followers - why so few leaders and so many followers - why the same leaders all the time and the same followers all the time? Is it a GAME people play? And if a game, why a game? It seems that followers are created, not born. You are all supposed to be the chosen few. Those who are intelligent enough to go to college. You all have initiative, creativity, and perseverance. You must or you wouldn 't be here. How many of you were leaders in high school and remain passive now. WHY? Are you the reason the light is fading in the background, with only a few bright lights present and the name of an institution? Are you victims to the game that is being played at Wilkes . The game of whom you are, what you say, and whom you know? Three positions can be taken in this game. The people who play and win , the people who play and lose, and the people who don't play and are just caught up in its power. Whom are you and WHY? A BURNING QUESTION? That the citizens of the United States have taken full advantage of their right of free speech cannot be denied. In recent months we have witnessed the outbreak of demonstrations whose participants have upheld causes which range from the support of civil rights and free speech to the denunciation of the United States ' participation in the Vietnamese war. Those who desire the cessation of demonst rati ons are standing on shaky legal grounds. To deny these people the right to express the ir opinion would be to violate their Constitutional Rights. It is our contention that demonstrations have definite beneficial aspects. Legal demonstrations provide an outlet for pentup anxiety and hate which otherwise might manifest themselves in violence and law- lessness. Then , too, public demonstrations are advantageous if those who support them sincerely believe in their particular cause. It is rare that a person has definite opinions about anything, and for one to take specific action in support of an idea is more honorable. However, we must object to those people who demonstrate just to demonstrate, who join a demonstration because it is "the thing to do" in order to be part of the "in" crowd. Those who join a demonstra tion because it is the latest fad are equally as guilty as people who exploit these situ ations for political advantage a_nd free publicity. Thus, while we support demonstrations, we must make qualifications. For it is not, we feel, important that one demonstrates but why one demonstrates. SO WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE? Wednesday will mark the annual Blood Day on Campus. This affair is a traditional one and has always been loyally supported by students. Year after year men and women have turned out to give unselfishly and without monetary compensation. It is hoped that this year will prove no different. The cause is more than worthy. Blood is constantly needed to treat accident and surgical cases. It would be a sad story indeed if the blood were just not available when it was needed. Thanks to concerned people who willingly give up half an hour such need not be the case. Half an hour really isn't that long. And it really doesn't hurt. It may save a life. It may save your life. Think about excuse? it. Now - what's your A [ALL FOR DIGNITY An article in this Beacon outlines some of the new security measures suggested for the Campus. In the light of recent events on and off the Campus, these measures may bring some relief to women who must walk to night classes or the library. It is a sad day (or night) indeed when one cannot walk freely without fear of attack. The atmosphere here within the past few weeks has been extremely tense. Knowing that watchmen and students will be available to protect us may alleviate that uncomfortable feeling. But there is no way to be protected smart-alecks passing in cars or sitting beside sidewalks or hanging from dorms. Granted, it does not harm , but it is embarrassing and bothersome.

The ranks of the demonstrators grew to 1,000 after the police intervened, but the revolt was always, and still is, a minority revolt. The unrest that has shaken so many college campuses in the past year is one of the most disturbing manifestations of discontent in our society. It is disturbing because the worst elements of political thought have been incorporated into these student disorders. Second, we must realize that the "issues," so called, which are used to spark a revolt, are often invented. Mark Rudd, leader of the Columbia revolt, explained to an audience at Harvard last fall that "we manufactured the issues," and he described these issues in the following way: That there is a need for change in the American university cannot be denied . Reform is needed in curcurriculum, in the dormitory, in the structure of the university, and in almost every area of university life. Some of these issues have surfaced during recent campus disorders, but most, strangely, have not. The issues that have shaken our college campuses are based on the major political issues of our time: race, the war, poverty in America. At the outset we should recognize certain facts about most campus disorders. "The Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA) is nothing at Columbia. Just three professors. And the gym issue is bull. It doesn't mean any thing to anybody." Third, the avowed interest of Students for A Democratic Society [SDS) in educational reform is nil. First, the students who demonstrate are a definite minority. At Columbia, the revolt was spearheaded by only two to three hundred students out of a total enroll Key Complaints Still Centeri ng On Cafeteria by Drew Gubanich, IDC President One of the most common complaints lodged with IDC concerns the cafeteria situation. In trying to solve some of the problems, espe cially this one, "it's always the same old thing." It was generally agreed upon by the officers that a picnic dinner would be held on Sunday, October 5, and a box lunch on the soccer field on October 11 . During the regular IDC meeting on October 7, the picnic was discussed and the general consensus was that it was a success. Discus sion was then held on the idea of the soccer field box lunch. The opinion of the IDC representatives who represent the dorms in which they live, and which excludes the need for a vote of the entire residence body, was to go ahead and try it. In the future, a policy on box lunches will be determined by IDC . I suggest that if yo u have any complaints, please attend the regul ar meetings and v oice th em there . If th is is incon venient, p lease inform your repre sen tative. At Columbia, for example, SDS is the only student political group which has refused to submit proposals for the restructuring of the university: this is especially significant since it was due to SDS's efforts that the need for restructur ing emerged in the first place. SDS's prime interest, and really its only interest, is in revolution. What type of person makes up the bulk of SDS? What is it that makes certain students rebel and seek to destroy all existing authority? "Pukes," as they are unlovingly called by their Columbia opponents, are easily distinguished. They share a basic desire to appear different from everyone else. They like to dress in "workers' clothes" - blue jeans, old army jackets (with red armbands), work boots or tennis shoes. They read all the New Left literature from Mao to Marcuse. However diversified they may be in character, they all have one thing in common - they are de termined to pose a serious threat to the continuation of American society. Though most of them have a vague notion that a workers' state is desirable, most are from the middle class. Most have not been with.o ut the conveniences of modern America; they have been brought up with television, automobiles, a n d summ er vacations. But it is precisely this affluence th at they claim is not fulfilling. It is their own prosperity that they are trying so h ard to destroy . Many feel that college is little more than a machi n e which molds grad u ates to fit into American society. If society needs to fill ro un d ho les, th ey ar e determined to get squ are pegs . Vietn am , th e race problem , and th e gh etto, th ey be lieve, are pro du cts of a terrib le capitalis t' system which is run by a power elite. The United States is founded on the dollar, they say, and the corporations suck the life blood of the American worker, dooming him to a mediocre existence. The America they see is an undemocratic imperialist state, a state Which drafts black people to remove them from the ghetto and sends them to Vietghetto and sends them to Vietnam to fight a "war of genocide." It is a state in which the CIA watches one from every corner, wher e one is put in jail for exercising the right of dissent (i.e., refusal of military service]. The SDS-ers believe that American society must be totally destroyed so that a workers' utopia can be erected in its place. This belief stems from paranoia, the conspiracy theory of history.

With that impassioned plea, the announcer on WBRE radio begged his listeners to lend support to the Wilkes team. Those listeners could not help but be moved by the very human excitement displayed by generally objective newscasters. But that's the way it's been - our Colonel team has inspired an Impossible Dream without rival. Everyone involved has felt the pride that goes handin-hand with having a team like that wearing the Blue and Gold uniforms during the four-year winning streak. Looking back, it's been nothing less than wonderful to be 'here on Campus at such a time. There have been many reasons to be proud of Wilkes, but few could ever resist adding just one line: "And besides that, we have the longest winning streak in the nation." Maureen Klaproth This year's seniors, the class of '70, never saw the team lose in their entire collegiate career. All of us can recall gab sessions in which we talked about what the r eaction would b e when the ultimate defeat came. But it was talked about with the same reality one used to use when speaking of walking on th e moon or se eing the clownish Mets in a World Series. Possible, probable, but nevertheless, infinitely difficult to imagine. Ani Sa When it came, most of us found that we were really totally unprepared and our reactions w ere not what we expected. Shock, disbelief, b ittern ess, and tears. It made one remember the old line on television: "the thrill of victory; the agony of defeat." · Heaven only knows we'd enjoye d the thrill of victory after victory after victory. Now came our moment of defeat and we knew agony. For thos e there, the memories will long remain of sights uncommon to us . Joe Wiendl, Mr. Everything, with tears glistening. Millie, long one of our loyalest supporters, praying, yes, praying. Tony Cardinale lying on the field pounding 'his fists in despair. Rollie Schmidt leaving the locker room by himself - surely the loneliest looking man on earth. fans c oul1 ne! " And defen der erforman of th e E For those of us unable to be at the game who heard the commentary on the radio, the pain was no less. As a girl who has never even touched a football in fun, it might seem strange that the enormity of Saturday's events should especially touch me. It did. Just as it seems to have touched everyone else. Hearing th e announcer after a hushed, stunned silence say, "It's over," I cried long tears.

We couldn't have guessed it would be yesterday, high above Cayuga's waters. One of the cheerleaders, looking a bit wan, expressed perhaps the best comment during the long wake in a dorm: "Thank God, the pressure's off now. It was too much for everyone. Now we can play to enjoy it, to win because we want to, not 'b ecause we have to." She's right. The pressure 'had become unbelievable. COLLOQUY The nice thing about looking back now is that they can't take th e glory away from us. We stand third in the record books, joining pretty illustrious company. We enjoyed it while it was ours. The team did not let us down; it taught us that graceful defeat marks the true winn er.

Last Saturday the 32-game winning streak of the Colonels ended, as most knew it eventually would. The preparation for Ithaca proceeded as usual all week. The game plan was designed to attack the Bomber defensive weaknesses. The Colonel defense was geared to stop the Bombers' attack. By Friday the team was prepared to travel to the Empire State.

Pressure vision to make something appear which isn't. itself seemed unreal, the numbers on the scoreboard, the score and time remaining seemed unreal. Ithaca taking over with 15 seconds remaining seemed unreal. But quarterback Joe Zakowski, walking dejectedly off the field after failing to score was real. Safety Dave Kas chak walking over to Ithaca QB Doug Campbell and shaking his hand was real. Captain George Conway walking to the locker room with eyes straight and head up was real. To the fans, the game seemed quite real. But yet no one actually believed that the Colonels would lose. Somehow, even though the Blue and Gold let four scoring opportunities slip through their hands, they would Herbst manage to win. But the magic had worn off. the fans had come J:o consider a part of the Gold Manoi to be found.

A test is time. Time will not erase the achievements of those who e and Gold uniforms from 1965 to 1969. And that is another te. schedule will not cease - the season must be played out and played out with the same dedication and same pride that past have been played.

But before you do , consider if you will of some great thinkers , Miguel De Cervantes, William Shakeand Vince Lombardi: duel with Bloomsburg, the Colonelettes tallied their ninth consecutive win, eight of which were shutouts. An average season for the Colonelettes consists of six to seven intercollegiate games against such teams as Susquehanna, Moravian, Bloomsburg, and others (many of which have physical education pro grams]. The team has rallied from its previous history of losing to its present standards. In recent years, increased enthusiasm coupled with pride in the game hav e spurred the team on to victory. These qualities have guided the Coloneletes toward having one of the finest teams in the history of Wilk es 'College. The team, und er the direction of Mrs. Doris Saracino and Miss Kathy Langdon, is piloted by cocaptains Sandy Bloomburg (backfield] and Candy Cates (line). The lin e consists of returning letterwomen Jean Adams, Candy Cates, Cathy 'Davis, Donna Futchko, Renee Mucci, Marianne Ryan , and ro okies Debbie Backensto and Jeanette Click. The defense, boasting a perfect season, is led by retui;ning letterwomen Sandy Bloomburg, Donna Edford, Kathy Koterba , Sharyn Pavadis, Nancy Puglisi, Sandy Strevel, Natalie Vermandel, and Lynne Wescott, including outstanding rookie 'Sue Ditson. Other newcomers to the team are Alice Sekowski, Mary Thornton, Marsha Wazter. The managers are Mary Carol Hornyak, Fran Salgado , and Lynne Tomaselli. The Colonelettes opened their season by blanking Misericordia, 6-0, followed by wins over Kutztown, 6-0, Susquehanna, 3-0, and Bloomsburg, 1-0. The Colonelettes will end their season with away games against Misericordia and Moravian. and ought be us not burden our remembrances with a heaviness that is gone. say best men are moulded out of foults, and, for the most part, nch more the better for being a little bad.

They are 3-2 this year and have already gained revenge on one of last year's tormentors, Rhode Island, in a 41-7 rout. Although their defense was shaky in th e 1beginning (they gave up 52 points in two games), tthey have allowed two TDs in the last two games. Meanwhile the offense has posted 68 points on the scoreboard. W e haven't lost two consecutive games since 1964. The offense had a bad day and we all know the result of last week's game. The defense has improved steadily. Tomorrow, the team will prove why it has been a perennial MAC champion. The Colonels will bounce back. Our undefeated record at Ralston Field continues with a tough victory over Vermont. Wilkes by 10. W. Maryland at Delaware Valley The Aggies will have two easy weeks in a row. They ran Swarthmore into the ground in a 40-0 victory. Jasper Meadows scored two quick TDs and led the way for the remainder of the backfield, Chance, Glenn, and Lepre, to run up the score.

The action came as a means of consoring an article by Black Panther Eldred Cleaver reprinted from this month's Ramparts Magazine. The editor of the Campus Cycle confronted the president of the college at the print shop after the printer questioned whether or not he would be paid if the article ran in the newspaper. The president confirmed the printer's suspicions by stating he would not sign a check for the printing bill if the Cleaver article appeared in the paper. The weekly paper has not been printed since September 22 . A "Free University" is being organized by TEMPLE students who view this as a method of "taking courses more meaningful and rele vant to the harsh realities of this society." The free university, which hopes to become an officially recognized organization in student activities, will offer a wide range of courses, including campus politics, jazz, leatherwork, experimental theater, astrology, Marxism and draft counseling.

Fortunately the Gold defense held as the final period began with the score still 13-7. Flirting with history, the Bombers almost fumbled the game away by giving the Colonels five scoring opportunities within their 20. But the Wilkesmen couldn't take advantage as they were thwarted every time. Still, with 1 :27 remaining, the B,ombers punted and the Colonels took over at the 50 for one last shot at winning. A bomb to Marascio was overthrown on first down. A third-down pass attempt to Langdon was intercepted by Ithaca to wrap up the game and the streak. Tomorow is a new day, a new streak! apolitical moves towards ending th e war in Vietnam is a situ ation lacking of all the necessary elem ents for hum or. I wonder what he hopes to accomplish. He knows that he can't fool the American public. Maybe he thinks he can fo ol God. A far more logical way to end the war would have been to have had the Orioles and Mets refuse to play in the World Series until Nixon withdrew the troops. What you wo uld be doing is redirecting the country's greed, and if this country ever got all its greed going in one constru ctive direction, the result wo uld probably be nothin g less than total accretion for all mankind. Som eo n e read the names of the Pennsylvania dead in Vietnam, and a few people made brief speeches. The main attraction was those who had guitars, 'h armon icas and other instruments of peace. We all had a good time sitting around singing songs, endin g war and everything. Th en su ddenly in the middle of the singing Shaw did the thing. He stood up on a bench and shouted, "What do we want?" "Peace," everybody shouted . "When do we want it?" he asked. "Now," we all screamed, and started chanting "peace now" gradually faster and incerasingly louder. Continuing the chant, we marched to the River Commons where Shaw told us of the upcoming November 15 march in Washington. He asked how man y were interested in going and there was sufficient response to warrant chartering a bus. Shaw said he would make the arrangements. Chris Shaw, former Wilkes student and head of the local moratorium, struck me as intelligent, although not necessarily brilliant. To his advantage, he possessses an ability to interpret and correlate events. More simply stated, he is -a good organizer. At the rall~n the Wilkes gym he received a standing ovation, which he deserved. University stated that "we even have an authentic witch who promised to teach a course in witchcraft. There will be be no artificial academic pressures, no grades, no finals; in fact, complete responsibility for absorbing the content of each course will rest on the individual student." It will be a more interesting and more meaningful thing than the usual offered at TEMPLE because the instructors STATI STICS will be teaching because they want WILKES to, and not b ecause th~y are being Ithaca paid for it. The PITT NEWS, thrice weekly student newspaper at the UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH, ceased publication late last month after the staff issued a set of demands for better compensation for its work. In a full -page editorial signed by 32 staff members, the NEWS said: "In this day of self-determined individuals, fewer and fewer people find the time to work for nothing. Considering the quality of the PITT NEWS staff, it is quite obvious that the self-satisfaction received from doing something with one's ability and time is no longer sufficient payment for services rendered." The staff seeks money for salaries, and one academic credit per term for participating in a journalism seminar. The school does not have a journalism school.

" I was really surprised and happy," she said, when asked for her initial reaction to the news of her election. "In fact, I think I'm still in a state of shock. "Everyone seems so excited about Homecoming - more so this year than usual. I know the girls in my dorm are really enthused about our display. "I've always loved the feeling of tradition about Homecoming, and I hope that that feeling will continue around Wilkes for a Jong time. On so many campuses, it has just faded out."

Cynthia Wodraska Ann Barnes �Friday, October 31, THE BEACON Page 2 • Editorials Another Generation Gap or1E HANOI'S BLJlC:liMJllL North Vietnam tried to use the appeal of two American women , who sought news about their war prisoner husbands, for propaganda purposes. Sue Shuman and Martha Doss of Virginia Beach, Va., were told that Hanoi would not release their war prisoner husbands unless they demonstrated against the war. Of course, the ladies refused. Mrs. Shuman and Mrs. Doss wanted to obtain the release of all the sick and wounded prisoners and spent 75 minutes pleading their case before two members of the North Vietnamese peace delegation in Paris. They were told they would have to wait until all the American troops are out of Vietnam and the war is over, but that if they wanted to speed their husbands' release, they should demonstrate against the war. The North Vietnamese were within their rights when they said that no prisoners would be released until after the war ends. Even the sick and wounded prisoners are rel eased only through a negotiated prison er exchange, in which prisoners of both camps are traded , presumably so that there would be no advantage to either side. This procedure is also true of prisoners in good health. Normally, they are traded as a part of the war settlement. But to ask two sorrowing women, come to inquire about the health of their husbands, to demonstrate against the war in order to secure their release, is downright blackmail. Mrs. Shuman and Mrs. Doss no doubt were tempted . But they knew their husbands would not want their release on such terms. Much as they wanted to see their husbands, they could not agree to betray the cause for which they fought. The price was too great. The experience should warn other wives and parents , sick with doubt about their sons and husbands who are prisoners of war, not to expect mercy, but insult, from the enemy. North Vietnam 's reply also showed demonstrators all too clearly whom they are helping. l.ettel'J tc t~e ~t/itcl' Mark Albert Condemns Editorial As 'Ludicrous,' Asks For Progressive Commentaries-1970 Style To the Editor: Did anyone ever tell you that your editorials are ludicro no matter, because I'm telling you now.

There's little question that the drop is a consequence of antimilitary attitudes nurtured by leaders of campus peace movements. Relatively few colleges have been afflicted by disruptions against ROTC and only a small number of institutions have voted to discontinue their programs. But the protests have had their impact elsewhere. In addition to providing financial aid for its members, ROTC helps to maintain a civilian perspective in the military officers ' corps and it improves the quality of future military leadership. nahoi Ii College e Hall a ention fc f a lette tish scien Donaho e, rned his ity of new typ, y him an ers coul w water is eans that the ordinary wal to form lar , like tho: d plastics. e believes t e the ability wrote in Na the ocearn 'a water un d ater on the obvious. sociated Pre e story to t the London d Donahoe paper editor.

Associated Press in London the story to the New York and the London Daily Times ed Donahoe directly, as spaper editors from Texas The British, however, dismissed the theory of the professor as false. Donahoe warned that polywater must not be allowed to escape into the open air or into the oceans. "I need not spell out in detail the consequences if the polymer phase can grow at the expense of normal water under any conditions found in the environment. Polywater may or may not be the secret the planet Venus is missing water. The polymerization of earth's water could turn her into a reasonable facsimile of Venus," he said. Donahoe has written a number of letters on his polywater studies. The professor said this week, "I am not easily persuaded that it (polywater) is not dangerous. The consequences of being wrong about this matter are so serious that only positive evidence that there is no danger is acceptable. Only the existence of natural mechanisms which depolymerize the material would prove its safety. Until such mechanisms are known to exist, I regard the polymer as the most dangerous material on earth.

Today this woman is more than just the Manager of the College Bookstore; she is an institution on campus. At 'her desk in the Bookstore "Millie" has watched many students struggle through those days of post-registration book-buying, and empty mail-slots that help make up the life of a college student. She has quietly watched the progress of many students as they struggled down that rough, four-year road to graduation and 'b eyond. "Some of the students at Wilkes now are children of those students I knew years ago," she said. And s'h e has followed some of those students to present-day activities. "I can vividly remember Art Hoover as a student at Wilkes, working in the Administration Building." Millie is a Ii ving his tori cal encyclopedia of Wilkes anecdotes. She enjoys dropping tidbits about the early days of Wilkes, and watching people react to such facts. "Almost all Wilkes stu dents realize that 'b efore Wilkes became a four-year college it was known as Bucknell Junior College. However, does anyone know that when Bucknell Junior College first opened its doors it did so on the block where King's College is now located?" And did you know that during World War II this school •offered a training program for Air Cadets? Ask Millie! Millie herself has played an important part in building Wilkes through numerous instances. She recalls how her car, a 1946 Willys coupe, was used to deliver baked goods to the old Ca£ in the mornings, to transport football uniforms in the afternoons, and to deliver The Beacon on Fridays. Millie puts up a good fight against apathy on campus by attending most sports functions. "In the past six years I have only missed one footlball game." And it can be proven that she is an enthusiastic fan. "Although not many people know about it today, but in 1947 I was made an honorary letterman." "Singing in the chorus at the dedi'Cation of Wilkes as a four-year institution will always be one of my fondest memories." Evidently Wilkes has become an important part of Millie's life. "In fact," she said, "Wilkes is my life." 1 Wm. 1.

Student Discussion At Recent Colloquy by Staff Writer Frank Mccourt Correspondent Rich Urciuoli It has become increasingly apparent that in today's world political labels are worthless. Liberals claim that they are open-minded. Con· servatives repudiate by saying that the trouble with being open-minded is that your brains might fall out. Liberals claim that conservatives are overcautious, and n ever accomplish anything. Conservatives say that liberals, in their rush to reform, are prone to making mistakes. A liberal defines a conservative as one Who would breed mice to save the mouse trap indPstry. Conservatives argue that liberalism destroys freedom by eliminating the responsibility that breeds humanism. And on and on it goes. For this reason we will refrain from discussing the political implications of the conference. For the most part, the Bucknell conference involved student leaders from all over the country. It should be pointed out that a stu· dent leader need not necessarily be a student. The general consensus of the conference on the following topics was as follows: Drugs - The general opinion is that the only thing wrong with marijuana is that it is a felony to possess it. It was also pointed out that the government has never seriously investigated most of the drugs it classifies as illegal. Black Man's Struggle-There has been an apparent split in the black revolution. Some want black capitalism, while some are searching for unity with the white youth movement. Religion - The more radical elements of the youth movement feel tp.at the present church is corrupt because corrupt people control and attend it. They advocate a neoAmerican church which would emphasize human rights and equality . Vietnam - Vietnam per se was not discussed as much as was its future .

" Reporter : "How about if I commit suicide - yo u can run th at." Reporter No. 2: "Only if we have room on page 8!" So the commentary runs, with each person contributing his wealth of ideas . Some of the conversation runs the same week after week. Marlene is told to stop bringing hoagies with onions to the office. Pete complains about printers who don't like mustaches. Ronnie questions why his Coke ads are cut out. Mary yawns. Nancy types. Chuck yells . I cry. W e' r e one big happy family. On Tuesday, Sally reads galleys to discover all the mistakes of the paper completed the previous week. Tuesday nights are spent getting out assignments for the next week 's stories. This falls on little managing editor's head. One complaint: no one's ever home . Wednesday the page proofs are ready. Sally, Pete and I read th em over that evening. We curse the mistakes the printers make . We cry over th e ones we made. Layouts always seem different than they were planned. Heads n eve r fit above stories. Other than that, things proceed b eautifully. Thursday w e come in for an informal class to learn basic n ews writin g, layou t, copyreading, and head writing.

But Friday afte rnoon our masterpiece comes out. Now everyone tells us of mistak es w e made. Everyone sits reading Beacons in the caf. That makes me feel good . Everyon e throws Beacons on their tray with the hoagies and pizza. That makes me feel sad. All that work - ending up with rejected hoagies . Sunday night is the big night. 'Some o'f us work in the afternoon, sifting through stories to see what we have to work with. Page layouts h ave to be done - showing where the stories will be situated .

Colonels, Dragons Forecast To Win by Steve Newman Dickinson at Wilkes Dickinson is 4-1 on the year. The latest victim to fall to the Red Devils was Muhlenburg, 29-13. The defense has yielded an average of 12.6 points per game while the offense averages 27.8 points. Quarterback Joe Wilson and flanker John Person are responsible for the Red Devils' potent offense. Coach Wil:bur Gobrecht has worked hard to improve last year's leaky defense. He 'has succeeded. Dickinson will be "up" to protect its win streak of four games. The Gold Machine showed its stuff in defeating a tough Vermont squad, 17-7. The defense played an outstanding game as Bob Ashton and Garf Jones took turns making the "big play." On the line, it was Mazur and Fick, or F.&M., combining for 20 stops. The offense was vastly improved over the Ithaca game. Ted Yeager was, well, magnificent. He cut and twisted and, yes, powered his way to 136 yards on 31 carries. It was a remarkable display of running ability. The offensive line certainly de serves credit for opening the holes, but sometimes he was forced to the outside when a hole failed to open. Otherwise the offense was sluggish. Key penalties stopped us from scoring several times. If we continue to hurt ourselves, Dickinson will take it. Wilkes by 14. Albright at Moravian The Lions defeated Drexel in an ups et, 28-21.

The team confidence and unbelievable fan support built to a boiling point Friday night and Saturday morning. But there were fears that a new and greater pressure had arisen - the fear of losing again. A loss that might end fan support. These fears never materialized, however, as Bob Ashton's two interceptions and Charlie Fick's outst anding line play, which enabled him to be named to the ECAC squad, paced the defensive efforts. The team's spirit changed overnight. No longer was the great overriding fear of losing present. Once again, football was to be played for fun at Wilkes. The team would struggle together, win together. Its efforts would be geared not to lose, but to win. And on Saturday afternoon the Catamounts of Vermont met an inspired, confident squad of Colonels. The Cats ' smiles of superiority after seeing tiny Ralston Field quickly disappeared after hearing the Colonels' home ground rock with over 5,000 fans. The stands rocked throughout the first half when the Colonels managed only a Dave Kaschak field goal to put them on the short side of a 7-3 score.

The defense forced eight turnovers, five fumbles and three interceptions, which allowed Ted Yeager and Company to score. Borb Gennaro scored the first Colone! TD from four yards out to put them ahead, 10-7. And late in the fourth quarter quarterback Joe Zakowski rolled out to his right and crashed into the end zone, scoring by inches to put the game out of reach, 17-7. What inspired this second-half burst? Although many factors contributed to it, a few must be singled out. Conditioning, pride, and support, loyal support from the students, and a desire to prove something to everybody once and for all were the deepest incentives to win. There were no revisions of the game plan at halftime, nor were any major plays drawn on the blackboard. The only words spoken by Coach Roland Schmidt over the team's shouting were, "Just go play football like you know how!" We did, and we won. Tomorrow Dickinson challenges the Gold Machine to a duel of strength. The Red Devils will try to contain the Wilkesmen's offense and penetrate our defense. Tomorrow, the Colonels will just be playing football like they know how. Sports Ed. note: Tomorrow is the last home appearance of the seniors on the Gold Machine. These seniors have played on Ralston Field for four years and have not seen a defeat. A remarkable feat for a remarkable bunch of players. Congratulations!

This time the victim of the hooters' surge was Wagner College, a team that Wilkes managed to defeat 1-0 last year. However, playing at Ralston Field this past Friday our hooters totally dominated play and came out 4-1 victors. Wilkes began bombarding the Wagner goal right from the first whistle and scored its first marker with only 3 :18 gone in the first period. Bill Tarbart put this goal in after a battle for the ball in front of the Wagner goal. Rich Combellack received an assist for help in getting the ball to Tarbart. Following this play Wilkes went on to score two more quick tallies in the first period. Both these came on shots by Rich Combellack after taking passes from Tony Tangi and Bob Linaberry, resp ectively. Thes e two goals by Combellack give him a total of five for the year and a tie for the lead in that department on the Wilkes team. The goals also gave Wilkes a 3-0 lead at halftime since neither team could score during the second period. . Although being down 3-0 at the start of the second half, Wagner would not fall over and die and came back with a goal on a 'high arching shot that the wind caught hold of and blew around the outstretched arms of goalie Chip Eaton. This was all that Wagner was able to acco mplish, and once again it was Tarbart who raised the Wilkes lead to three goals. Tarbart put a perfect h ead ball into the corner of th e Wagner goal after taking a fine corner kick from Combellack. This goal was Tarbart's fifth of the year and tied him with Combellack for the team lead. Between them, Tarbart and Combellatk have accounted for 10 goals and five assists to pace the team in the offensive department. This past Wednesday Wilkes travelled to Harpur to take on a team that th e Blue and Gold were able to defeat last year, 5-0. If things continued as they have for the past three games, another Wilkes victory should have been recorded. Tomorrow Wilkes will take on Madison FDU in the annual Homecoming game to begin at 10:30 a.m. at Ralston Field. A good turnout is appreciated, and with the team putting out as it usually does those fans who come will be sure to see an exciting, hard-fought battle.

When asked how the team looks, Coach Ron Rainey replied, "We have good experience coming back this year with five returning lettermen and seven sophomores. This year the freshmen will have their own program with a 12 or 14-game schedule ." The team started practice on October 15 for its first away game on Decemb er 1 with Madison . Coach Rainey commented, " One of the most important parts of the basketball team is the conditioning and practice of the team before the regular season." This year three preseason games are scheduled, two away and one home. The regular season will open with four away games. This year's squad with an average height of six feet two inches, includes lettermen Richard Davis, Herbert Kemp, Robert Ockenfuss, Jay Reimel, and William Umbach. Other m embers are Bruce Breier, Skip Fazio, James Hanak, Frank Jannuzzi, David Kurosky and Charles Wetzel. Bill Grick will join the squad later in January. Larry Kendig is the assistant coach and the managers are Tim Deurling and Tom Demovic. Rick Bigelow is th e s ta tis tician. It's interesting to note that last year the basketball team posted a 10-2 record on the ·home court and a 3-9 record on away games. Last year the team had a winning recprd of 13-11.

Eaton is a sophomore from Watchung, N.J. Here h e lettered four years in baseball and two in soccer. In his senior year, Chip sustained a ruptur ed spleen during a game.

Ma rkel St., Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Since small college football teams such as Wi lkes have been "left out in the cold," the NCAA has announced the inauguration of two "small college bowls" this year, one in the East and the other in the West. The two games, to be played as close to Thanksgiving as possible, were named after Amos Alonzo Stagg and Knute Rockne, two of the most publicized coaches in the 100-year history of college football. According to NCAA sources, Wilkes is a prime candidate for the Rockne Bowl, to ·be played on the campus of one of the participating schools. Other schools under observation are Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Ithaca, Lebanon Valley, Cortland, Wagner, and Delaware State. This bowl game obviously eliminated any Colonel hopes to play in the Boardwalk Bowl in Atlantic City. Last season the Wilkesmen were serious candidates for the offshore 'bowl. -NOTICE - Chris Shaw, head of the local Peace Sunday Committee, has arranged to charter busses to the Washington, D.C., demonstrations scheduled for November 13 and 14. Busses will leave at approximately 4 p.m. Thursday and midnight Friday. The total round-trip cost is $11. For reservations or additional information, call Sunny Caldwell at 825-5625.

Once the polymer nuclei become dispersed in the soil, it will be too late to do anything. Even as I speak, undoubtedly there are scores of groups preparing the material. Scientists everywhere must be alerted to the need for extreme caution in the disposal of polywater. Treat it as the most deadly virus until its safety is established," he said . Polywater is not unknown to other scientists throughout the world. In Moscow, the Academy of Science is hard at work with research and experiments. In England, since 1966, two groups have been working with the material. Two groups in the United States - one at the University of Maryland, the other in the Bureau of Standards - have published the resuits of their work. Groups in industry also have been studying the material. Yet, in spite of this research, according to Donahoe, no one to 'h is personal knowledge has been concerned with its safety factors. "Here at Wilkes, we are trying to find reactions which destroy it to prove that there will be no gradual increase in its amounts or threat to life on earth." In the interests of this safety, Donahoe's experiments call for the introduction of soil bacteria into polywater to determine whether the polywater is destroyed by the bacteria, returning it to normal water. The scientist is being assisted by Doctors William 0. Faut, John Labows and William Stein of the chemistry department, and Doctors Grace Kimbel and Robert Ogren of the biology department.

Things went quite well for all involved. The queen was lovely. The team won the game. The displays looked colorful. And open house caused no problems-that is not unusual. There was no feeling of novelty attached to the open house. Friends came by to sit and chat and comment on rooms. No wild parties or crazy antics resulted from the freedom . Actually, it seemed very natural and infinitely more relaxing than the nightly charade that takes place in lounges night after night. When will people come to realize that there is nothing wrong with wanting to entertain friends in peace and quiet? This arrangement affords us the ,freedom to sit and listen to favorite albums without disturbing eight other couples. Conversations do not have to be shared with the rest of the Campus. And nothing is "bound to happen" behind closed doors. As one coed put it, "The last place anyone would try to get away with anything is in a dorm where your roommate or a housemother is free to walk in anytime! " When will those from above wake up and understand that we are asking for basic privacy? Let's face it - there is no place to go on this entire Campus and be alone with anyone. The Commons has neon lights and constant laughter. Lounges have lots of people who have equal right to be there. , I I Open house was killed last year by the Council of Deans, after a poll showed that students favored it by a huge majority. Until recently, no one has brought it into focus again this year. So far no one has given us a clear indication of what is wrong with open housing. On the occasions it is permitted, students have handled it with decorum and dignity. If, indeed , as one Dean said last year, "Wilkes students are not ready for it," then something is wrong. Why are students at so many other institutions ready for this, and so much more? Are we so much less mature than others of our age? Have we demonstrated that we cannot handle ourselves? We think not! The old arguments of inconvenience to others in a dormitory just don't stand up. Those not desiring company can simply close their doors. Common courtesy could be followed as normally as it does con cerning the function of other College institutions. Isn't it time we were given a chance to try it on a probationary basis? The three times a year we are allowed to do so, we carry through successfully. What is the real reason for the Administration's reluctance? WHERE ARE YOU?

Millie has mem r, I, has polywater, and 'R to Look With Pride. neese ,,,,.,.1-r ror B'~ A,,.., Sp•/flt• l D'/Ueat To the Editor: Against a background of mutual fear and distrust among students , faculty, and administrators on our nation's campuses, opportunities have with increasing frequency arisen that are shattering the falsely portrayed images created by that faction of stu dent activists who preach student power for the sake of power alone. Instances of an assumption of a greater degree of self-determination by college students are abundant on small-college campuses. The success with which students are assuming these responsibilities have made it increasingly apparent that students are justified in their desire to play a significant role in shaping the institutions of which they are a part. At Wilkes we have had such an opportunity presented to us. Not by accident, but rather th rough continued effort over the past few years by several student governments , the faculty, and the Admin istration, we have received approval for student representation on virtually all faculty committees. Student Government is currently engaged in the evaluation of applications from the student body for committee positions. A particularly sharp commentary on the nature of student complaints can be made in light of the response to this development. We wou Id estimate that over 1500 students on our campus satisfied the minimal criteria established for committee membership. Of these 1500 students , fewer than 30 applied for positions on the dozen faculty committees open to us. Now, it seems fair to assume that somewhat more than 2% of the eligible student body as represented by the applicants have at one time or another expressed dissatisfaction of sorts with policies of our College. However, when the opportunity to effectively speak up presented itself, only a few students were willing to take positive steps toward changing often-complained-about conditions. Chronic complainers, whom we of Student Government have had ample opportunity to listen to over the past few years, chose to mask themselves behind a cloak of indifference to constructive participation. Student Government welcomes the opportunity to have students placed on col lege committees, and we are far more concerned with the quality than the quantity of applicants. To be certain, we feel that the student body will be creditably represented by many of those who have applied. Through such participation we can now work together with the faculty and Administration to achieve a common goal of improvement through mutual trust and respect. Finally, we look to this opportunity as a turning point in the attitude of a substantial portion of our student body. We were clearly faced with a situation demanding a choice by each student - to speak up or shut up. We thank those who chose to speak up and we will work conscientiously with them to effect reasonable change. We hope that the 98 % who chose the latter alternative will remain consistent with their decision . Guest editorial by: Dan Kopen President of Student Government I want to take this moment to thank you for your wonderful edition of the Beacon Octo'ber 24. It seems impossible to think that after our football team lost for the first time in four years and had a 32 game winning streak snapped, that I would enjoy reading the Beacon that week. However, as I read column after column I became more and more proud of the accomplishments of our team and the reaction of our students toward th e team. To realize what a wonderful unifying effect the team has had on the whole student body, and th e sense of pride it has instilled in eve ryone at Wilkes, should make the players, coaches, and everyone concerned realize that their efforts over the last four years have had a tremendous impact on the school and the community.

Police Brutality Revealed In Walker Report by Frank Mccourt "Medium Cool" is not about the Chicago riots; it is the Chicago riots. You remember when 15,000 Hippies and Yip·pies went to ·Chicago to ask for peace and Mayor Daley took the precaution of having them beat so that they wouldn't cause any trouble? And remember how the police got carried away or over-reacted or something? Well, that's "Medium Cool." The cast is tremendous. It includes the Chicago Fire Department, 6,000 regular Army troops in full combat gear, 6,000 Illinois National Guardsmen and 12,000 of Mayor Daley's finest. There is also a loosely-constructed plot which adds to the contrast and horror of the film. If you're a revolutionary, you'll want to see this movie . If you're not, you had better see it. There were 'basically two groups present among the protestors . In addition to those who had gone to ask for peace, there was a large number who went because they felt the 'Democrats had been unresponsive to the urban crisis. "Medium Cool" emphasizes these two aspects of the civilian contingency by revolving its story about a family living in poverty, the husband of which is in Vietnam. The mother of the family dies at the end of the film, which is quite symbolic of the answer which was given those who had gone to protest the urban crisis . Unfortunately, "Medium Cool" is only" a look at the light side of the riots. Some of the things that hap pened you simply could not put on a public movie screen. It also must be realized that the police performed their extra special atrocities when they knew they \.\ ere off camera. The Walker Report was the result of the official government investication into the conflict which occurred at the Chicago Democratic Convention in August 1968. The Walker Report was presented to the Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence. It is essentially an impartial account of the conflict, based on 3,437 eyewitness statements, 20,000 still photos, and 187 hours of corporate and private film . The following statements were made under oath by reputable persons. I say that because the tendency is to disbelieve what you are about to read. From a UPI reporter: "One officer, with a smile on his face and a fanatical look in hi s eyes, was standing on a three-wheel cycle, shouting, 'Wahoo, wahoo,' and trying to run down people on the sidewalk." The Walker Report explains that the violence was anticipated by the police. The following statement appeared in most of the country's underground papers two weeks before the convention: "The word is out . .. Chicago may host a festival of blood. If you feel compelled to cavort, then this is action city. There is no reason to wear flowers for masks . If you want to go up against the wall, then come ." From the 'Chicago police handbook: " ... the baton and chemical Mace may only be used when the officer reasonably believes such use is necessary to make the arrest, defend himself, . . . or to prevent the escape of a person already arrested. The police officer is cautioned against swinging his baton as a club, poking a person with it, and is ordered n ever to strike a person on the head with the ·baton." (TB Vol. VII, No. 19) The most costly mistake the Chicago police made was to turn on the press. The press was the link from Chicago to the rest of the world. The press contingentent 'present for the Chicago ·Convention was no assortment of rookie reporters. Quite the opposit, it was a compendium of the top men in the business. Nationwide viewers could have seen CBS' Dan Rather beaten to the ground on network tel evision . Walter Cronkite found occasion to call the police "thugs." Chet Huntley on NBC network radio had the following comment : ", .. the undeniable manner in which the Chicago police are going out of their way to injure newsmen, is what is going on. We in the calling of journalism have hesitated to talk about our problems in Chicago . .. but the hostility has become too much and it has become our duty to speak out." Hugh Downs asked his NBC viewers if there was any word other than "pig" to describe the Chicago police. No prominent figure of the entire news media condoned the actions of the Chicago police. Making enemies of TV, radio, and newspaper reporters also made the Chicago ·police enemies of those who depended solely upon those media for information regarding the convention. That, needless to say, is a considerable sum of people. Perhaps no statement better summed up the feeling of those who could not bring themselves to condone the police actions, than that of Paul Krassner when after the conflict, he said: "We ·won, Mr. Daley." full time graduate studies teacher. His name having been referred to and highly recommended, Mr. Kell-y was chosen to fill this post. Along with this office, he is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Red Cross and Chairman of its Disaster Committee. Having been a Wilkes College undergraduate himself, Mr. Kelly lends these comments concerning our campus and students. He believes that inter-personal relationships should be one of the most highly valued opportunities Wilkes can offer. These help formulate those major points essential in comprising one's background. The cold, institutional feeling sometimes associated with college campusess does not have to exist as is proven through our own campus. He ·feels that the Wilkes atmosphere is one that should be appreciated by its students now, for it will certainly be so later in life as all of us look back to our years by Caleb McKenzie here.

The Cadets are 2·3 on the year while the Colonels are now 5 and 1. Coach Bill Manlove's charges are in the throes of a rebuilding year as is evidenced by the fact that there are only 5 seniors on the squad. Like most young, inexper· ienced teams, the Cadets ma·ke a lot of mistakes - some of which have cost them ball games - but as one looks at their prospects for next year, it appears as if this rebuilding year is justified. The offensive leader is sophomore quart erback Barry Radcliffe (5-11, 170) who took over the sig· nal calling chores in mid season . Radcliffe is a scrambling, rollout quarterback who also does the placekicking. His primary receivers are Wayne Blalark (6-2, 195) and Greg Weckel (6·0, 170) .' The top rusher is Fred Baumert (5-10, 190) who scored PMC's only touchdown last week on an 11 yard run . The offensive line is led by Ed Frame (6-0, 225) and Vic Golat (6-0, 235). The Cadets employ an Arkansas Pro type defense . Defensive leaders are linebackers Glenn Walrath (6·0, 190) and Jim Byrnes (5-10, 210) and defensive halfback Tony De· Biasse (6-1 , 180) The 'Cadets employ a pro type offense and tend to put the ball in the air a lot. Quarterback Radcliffe has a good arm and is capable of strong performances. How good he is will depend mostly on whether receivers Blalark and Weckel can get open. Last week, the Cadets lost a Halfback Gains 146 Y As Team Gets 2nd.

The Colonels offense, throughout the season, had to struggle even more as Bill Tarbet suffered a leg injury and Rich Combelleck tore ligaments in his ankle. The two have contributed ten goals. While Combellack is out for the season, Tarbet should be ready tomorrow. Again the Colonels outplayed their opponent as the game was forced into double overtime. Combellack, watching the second half from the bench thought, "This was our finest team effort all year. FDU had some real good individual players but our teamwork was much ·better." With the offense ineffective, the defense turned in a superior effort to prevent a second straight Colonel loss, Led by Bogusko, Mike Bergbauer, Ed Weber, and the other fullbacks, the hooters racked up their third shutout of the year. For Eaton, it was his third and eighth lifetime. The offense, however had two scoring opportunities but failed to take advantage . Bill Murphy missed a penalty kick in the fourth quarter and Ed Garabedian just missed his corner kick late in the final period. Tomorrow, the hooters, 6-4-1, take on Susquehanna, a team which is always good, always consistent. Last year the Colonels trounced them, 5-0. The scoring should be more plentiful down in Susquehanna.

Corba New Pool Mentor by Stan Pearlman A re·building program is underway at Wilkes in an area other than the Cunningham Hall complex. It centers around the Colonel swimming team, and it has resulted in the appointment of Robert Corba as head swimming coach. Coach Corba is a 1966 graduate of Upper Iowa University and is presently a physical education instructor at Coughlin High School. He is married to te former Alice Koury and is the father of a two year old son, Robbie. While at Upper Iowa Coach Corba was a member of the varsity foo~ball squad and also participated on the school's swimming team where he performed the breaststroke, and gained some practical experience serving as student assistant coach . Coach Corba learned from his experience that a good understanding of the fundamentals in the sport is essential to a good performance , and so his plans for this year are to emphasize this aspect of the sport. One of the major problems until this season has been the unavailability of the YMCA pool for practice; the new coach plans to combat this problem by scheduling practice sessions at 6:45 a.m. until 8:00. If Coach Corba and his Colonel mermen aren't taking this season seriously, it's hard to believe since the early practice sessions will probably require getting out of 'b ed around 6:00 in the morning. If Coach Corba is worried about the prospect of the early practice sessions, he isn't showing it. He states, "if the boys are willing to get up for the practice sessions, than I'm certainly going to do all I can to bring a superior team to Wilkes. If this means getting up at 6 :45 in the morning in order to have a swimming team, then that's what I 'm going to do ." The Colonel coach cites the fact that the Colonel swimmers have nowhere to go but up after last season, and that he also expects an improvement in last year's record with the return of veterans like team captain Owen Lavery, Ray Salsburg, and Jim MacDonald. A winning attitude certainly has arrived with the appo intment of Coach Corba since he is also a member of Coach Rollie Schmidt's outstanding coaching staff. Things indeed look a little brighter for this year's swim team. o □□ o□o□□o □ oa □oo □□□ :::i □ooo::i □o::::i□□□□o□o□ oooooo □□ oooo □ GUNGA'S DEN For Th e Sophisticated Miss From High School to College Stude;ts "i?

Well then, this is my main gripe - I am protesting the unfairness of the percentage method of weather forecasting. I feel that if a person makes claims of his ability to predict the weather, then the least he can do is accept the blame when he makes an incorrect prediction. And, by the same token, if this person openly admits that he cannot accurately predict the weather, then I feel th e very least he can do is to shut up. Within the next five years, I predict a sixty percent chance of a reduction in the number of weathermen working in the United States.

Dr. 'Moravec, head of the Sociology Deen!, Dr. Hammer, head of the Education Department, and Dr. Wong, head theMathematics Department all agreed that finals serve an important purpose theevaluation of a student's progress and are necessary. Dr. Vujica, head of the Philosophy Department, said that we should be carein eliminating finals since we do not have comprehensive exams. He said h e ted to know as much about his students' progress as possible . If finals were be abolished he said he would have to add another test to his courses during semester. Dr. Fies ter in affirming finals said that he wants to know how much a stu1has assimilated from his courses; finals serve this purpose. He did concede t finals are not necessary in all courses but believes them to be mandatory English courses. Dr. Leach, head of the History Department, agres with Dr. Fiester that finals not necessary in all courses. He cited seminar and tutorial sessions as cases re finals would not be needed. However, he said finals are meant to be of · lance to the student, not an imposed burden. He feels the real burden falls nthe teacher who must grade the tests . Dr. Bellas, head of the Physics Department, most emphatically endorsed s. He said, "I wonder if4t>ur recent successful moon landing was ·the result of engineers who received their degrees from institutions not requiring final examinations! (Put y ourself in the astronauts' position!) "Would you or anyone else at the Beacon office like to be operated on by a surgeon who attended a medical school that did not give final exams? [An M.D . by correspondence courses!) "Final exams serve several purposes, two of which are that they ' tie th e course up in a package' by making one study and re-study and organize th e m aterial; and that they allow those students, who need it, the chance to rais e their grades. In this regard, I understand most European institutions do not give periodic exams throughout the course, a la American 'plan' - just the final. "In the editorial to which I refer (October 17th issue), in one brea th th e editor seeks the ending of final exams; and in th e other, open class cutting . .Just how, then, does the instructor determine a student's grad e - or should 'pass ' grades be given to those who merely pay tuition? (This would not be a bad idea . One can simultaneously take courses at a dozen institutions and graduate, aut omatically, from all at the same time . Also, a smaller college like Wilkes could open its doors to a million students - and still have room for more. H ere you go, Dr. Farley. Here's how you can raise $3 million for your new building!) "Why is it that the students who w ant no finals, who want op en class cutting, who do not want to be graded other than on a pass-fail system ar e th e very first people who want the college to establish a system wh er eby they can rate the faculty. " From these opinions, it would seem that Wilkes will maintain final examinations for the tim e being. The abolition of finals will certainly find little sup port among the faculty . ~;~::•::!;::= ~~ ~::+::!tf:!~~;:l !:e!r::~ !::+::!r ::!::+::( :~c:!::+.:f}~~!::+::!;:t!:.+::!r:::!::+::!t:::!::+::!t ~!::+::!f:::!::+::!;t::!::+::!r:::!::+::!:;f:!::+::!r:::!::+::!:::t!::+::!;;::::!::+::!t:::!::+::!r:::!::+::f:::::!::+::!r:::!::+::!:::)!::+::~.;: :(:!:+::!tt!::+::ft:!:+::f:t•:•::~;;: :::~::•::!ti::~::4'!11 i i ~ cy II T HE VOL.

New Proposal On Hazing Polity To Be Considered By SG Sunday Members of Student Government will meet in an important session on Sunday night at 6:30 to consider a proposal which will affect the lives - and peace of mind - of all future freshmen at Wilkes College. The proposal is to abolish hazing and it was discussed at length this past Sunday night by the Student Government with the decision made to put it to additional discussion and then a decisive vote this Sunday. Student Government President Dan Kopen said yesterday that the latest discussion and decision to put the "big question" to a vote is (Continued on Page 4) Thing of the Past??? �THE BEACON Page 2 ties'~ ed "1/i Editorials OPERATION MAIL C:ALL There is one area in which there shou Id be no contention between those who are pro or anti-war. The most docile dove and the most haugh ty hawk should both be united in supportin g those youn g m~,n who are serving our country in the swamps of Vietnam. Supporting our men in uni form should be a matter of course, regard less of one 's political beliefs . Often even the most bitter critics pause a moment wondering how to let the men know that the protests are concerning a matter of policy, and are not meant to disparage the bravery of men under fire. We think a perfect way to support those men is throu gh " Operation Mail Call Vietna m." An editorial appearin g in last Fri day's Wilkes-Barre Record outlined the purpose of this operation . Begun in 1966, Mail Ca ll has expanded into a nation-wide project designed to provide every service man in Vietnam with mail from home. It is an ideal way to show that we do care about the individuals involved in thi s war. It is not enou gh to protest the thou sa nds of dead. They ca nnot hear you. Rath er, we should provide some en co uragement to tho se men who are alive, and who mu st be terribly discouraged to spend the holidays so far from home . They can hear you . Th e Mail Call began as a project at Vil lanova University , a Jesuit institution with a studen t body of near ly 5,000 youn g men . Their id ea was to create a morale booster for the servicemen, regardless of race or religion. A team of 75 student volunteers checks all the mail to eliminate that containing propaganda, political slogans, crackpot comments and foul langua ge. The letters , cards and small packages , which are nu merous indeed , are sent to servicemen who receive little mail , or perhaps none at all . After processing, the letters go into mail bags that leave the Villanova campus around December 1 via military transport. Arran gements are made through the Evergreen Service Club at Fort Dix , New Jersey. Once it arrives overseas , the mail is distributed by company commanders , hospitals , USO's and the Red Cross . Care is taken that the mail is distributed to those to whom it will mean the most - those who are lonely or wounded or discouraged . Coeds are encoura ged to send photos . Clippings from newspapers and magazines concerning events here at home provide interestin g reading for those far away from these shores . Writers are encouraged to enclose addresses in the event a correspondence is desired. You can help by writin g and mailing your letter to Villanova University before December 1. We hope that our student body takes the time to write. We hope politics can be submerged in the true spirit of Christmas which includes not only peace on earth but goodwill toward all men . A NEW LOOK Anyone who ha s wandered around Wec kesser Hall this year has probably di scovered its new look . No , we do not refer to any form of interi or decorating or renovatio n to the building itself. Rather, we refer to three new dean s who joined our Campus ve ry recently- Mrs Linda Habrock, Miss Jane Lampe , and Joel Rome. Each is young, attractive, and extremely personable . The se outward characteristics are more important than they may seem. Seeing a smilin g, good-lookin g face when one steps into the inne r sanctums immediately helps one 's spirit, no matter what the reason for the visit. The old fears of approachi ng a dean about anything diminish somewhat In addition to the exterior characteristics, we also find the new breed understandin g, willing to help , and up-with-thetimes. Students would find it difficult to express dissatisfaction with a generation gap. Let 's face it - that scarcely exists! The se deans know the problems of our generation intimately. Rather than preach to us, or impose restrictions from other eras, they have gone far to listen and keep up. We do not agree totally on some thin gs. That is to be expected - for no matter how you look at it - they are the admin· istrators and we are the students. But the old hassles concerning such trivia as pulling down shades, closin g lounge doors in certain circumstances, and eliminating a dress code for girls show that they are determined to make thin gs as comfortable and sensible for us as possible . The new deans also embody those things they wish to instill in the student body. They can be spotted at many campus activities and events . Usually they seem to enjoy them as fully as any Wilkes student. All this is not to minimize the contributions of the deans we already have. Deans George Ralston , Arthur Hoover, and Dr. Francis Michelini have all exhibited the same courtesies and attitudes. Their spirit and dedication to this College and their helpfulness to Wilkes students are legend . We thank them for the job they have done and the job they are doing so well. To the new deans we extend a hearty welcome and best wishes as we anticipate the job they can do. CONGRATULATIONS On behalf of the student body, The Beacon staff would like to extend congratulations to the gri d team . Our men won their fifth MAC title in a row last week after defeatin g PMC . Surely the team has every right to be proud of this accomplishment. At the same time we wish them contin- ued success tomorrow when they meet Indiana State of Pennsylvania in the distant mountains . The game will almost certainly be a tough one, but we have faith that the team will display the pride and poise that have made us so proud for so long. Good luck!

A spectator not too familiar wit h the sport wo ul d not identify the differences as the game was p layed in yesteryear a n d as it is today. The ru les which shape and govern football are basically the same as they were 25 yea rs ago. The most significant rule change with respect to the overall conduct of the game has been the substitution rule. This rule change brought about larger squads and made possible greater specialization relative lo the skills involved in the gam e. This rul e change increas ed game action but it also retarded the progression of the game. In addition to this factor the substitution rule advanced th e stra tegy phase of the game. The action is not a ll on the fie ld. The substitution rule brought about greater strategy on the sidelines and eve n in the computer rooms (use of co m puters is not uncommon for play analysis, pattern diagnosis, etc ., where footba ll is big business). The sub stitution rule has eve n helped ch ange the gam e to a detailed and co mpl ex statistical index (statistics really add nothing to the game, but it is a m ea ns for increasing broader participation in the spectator sector. Statisticians are an organized part of modern football). There have been changes in the equipment used but the appearance is basically the same .

Jus t in case the inference isn't obvious h, in the middle of "Carry That Weight," is a repris e of "You Never Give Me Your Money." The word "boy" carries the same implications that Cleaver asserted in his bestseller "Soul on Ice," when he said that the white racist society had deprived the Negro of his manhood. Also in " Songs of Innocence," (song nu m ber 7, to be exact, which, incidentally, is how high the Beatles count when they recite that lit tle couplet in "You Never Give Me Your Money") there is a description of a group of childr en of all races, colors, and creeds. They are in a procession being led to a better life . The procession is being led by beadles. I'll let th at pass as a coincidence, lest it become frightening. While I'm mentioning the influence of Blake on Lennon and McCartney, I'm going to take it one wild step further. In another of his poems, Blake calls a hammer a device of God in tended for the betterment of mankind . In the song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," the Silver Hammer becomes significant if you consider that the Beatles used to call themse lves the Silver Beatles. Adding those together, the Silver Hammer is personi'fied as the Beatles themselves, which in turn becomes a device of God intended for the betterment of manki nd. Modest of them to say so. When Maxwell brings the Silver Hammer down on his head, he isn't committing s uicide . When the Beatles talk about bringing some thin g down on your head, they simp ly are not talking about physical violence . Not the Beatles. The album ends with a song appropriately enough entitled "The End." Lennon and Harrison both play lead guitar, each on e tries to outdo the other and both nearly succeed. Th e last lines are " .. . and in the end, the love you take is eq ual to the love you make." Bet you never looked at it that way before.

Mr. Correll is in e of obtaining all necessary rials for the individual dormi - A force which was recently expanded is the security-night watchmen. These unheralded men are responsible for the safety of the campus during the evening hours, when most destruction takes place. The above-mentioned men and their crews are under the jurisdiction of Mr. Charles Abate. As business manager of the College, all the major orders for the maintenance staff come from his office . Mr. Abate controls all ordering procedures made by faculty and Administration and is also responsible for assigning parking spots for college personnel. The tasks the maintenance staff perform are of a varied nature. Besides working to keep students in comfort, the staff assists faculty and Administration by opening and closing buildings at specified times for various classes and meetings. The crew was quite instrumental recently in assisting many dormitories and clubs with constructing their homecoming displays. According to Mr. Carle, the brunt of the crew's work falls on holiday vacations and the summer months. This past summer the 58-man staff renovated Ashley and Butler Halls for student residences and also moved the music department from those buildings to the new Music Building. A student request for bunk beds in the New Men's Dormitory also proved a problem. The bunks which were originally delivered to the college were not the size ordered and this tedious work had to be duplicated. "We put in over 700man hours on that little mistake which the manufacturers made," commented Mr. Carle. Another major task each summer is the re -surfacing of th e gymnasium. Joe Lesko and a staff of two students completed this two-month job of scraping, sanding and painting the gym floor. DAILY WORK. Three members o f the maintenance crew remove a tree on college property . John Yanchik, a foreman, disassembles the saw w hile the "Colonel" and Shabann Ghanam gather the pieces. Along with the monumental tasks previously mentioned, th e crew was also responsible for the reno vation of Pickering Hall and the moving of the Art Department to that building; the renovation of Weckesser basement for the registrar's and the evening school director's new offices; and the renovation and re -painting necessary for many dormitories. The biggest project undertaken last summer involved the renovation of the basement in the New Men's Dormitory to be used as the new college bookstore. With a staff of eight to 10 men working daily on this job, the move was completed satisfactorily and the student body is enjoying the use of the new facility . The move was done entirely by the plumbers, carpenters, and general labor which the 'College has at its disposal. The staffs work is never done, for Mr. Carle must be on call 24 hours a day. Sometimes calls come in for such unorthodox problems as squirrels which come in windows, pigeons which fall down into fire places, and a fire alarm which was set off at 3 :30 a.m., creating havoc in a women's dorm . However, Mr. Carle and his enthusiastic staff profess to enjoy their work. Asked if there were any specific problems involved, he mentioned vandalism. Then he added, "And sometimes w e wish people would be more patient. With 70-odd buildings to care for, it just is not possible to do everything immediately." Peace Corps Continued from Page 1} supervised overseas graduate work. "This integrated program is based on our two -fold conviction that (1) to combine the college and Peace Corps experien ces is to make both more relevant and mean ingful and the personal product more valuable, (2) to provide much-needed skilled specialists - mathematics and science teachers - as Peace Corps Volunteers in Latin America is to make a significant contribution to all concerned, " said President Albert Warren Brown, of the State University College at Brockport in announcing the extension of this unique partnership . Various Cities Participate In Peace March Yesterday at sunset, in a grassy field near Arlington National Cemetery, the "March Against Death " began. Sponsored and organize d by the New Mobilization Committee, the march is expected to last until 11 a.m. ·Saturday. Some 45,000 people are exp ected to participate in the single.!file procession which will tak e th em pas t the White House to the Capitol Building, the terminal point of th e march. At 11 a .m. Saturday, a memorial service is scheduled, after which there will be a mass march on a yet-undetermined route. The marchers want Pennsylvania Av enu e, but the Secret Service has refused to concede a permit for this route. In all Jikelihood, the President, by order of the Secret Service , will be moved to Camp David by h elicopter should there be any hint of trouble. A similar march is sch eduled to take place in Los Angeles. The local Peace Sunday Committee will ·be conducting activities on Public Square all day tomorrow . The Moratorium Committee, sponsor of th e October 15 Moratorium, will sponsor additional events in New York City, Chicago and other cities. Susan Miller of th e NMC had this to say about the "March on Death" : " ... it is not the r esult of sentiment, bleeding hearts, or hypocritical machinations of the political left. It is a sober recognition of what the war has cost in human life and suffering." Bertocci Continued from Page 1} tion.

The Colonels go into the game with a 6-1 record and have won their last three games in a row. The Indians go into the contest with a 7-1 record and a two-game winning streak. Coach Chuck Klaussing •fi elds an experienced , ve teran team with letterm en at nearly every position . Th e Indians lost 17 le ttermen through graduation but return ed 16 le tt er winners, including quarterback Wally Blucas. Blucas is th e team lead er . Besides being a co· captain, he holds the IUP record for total offens e with over 3,400 yards to his credit. The 6'1 ", 205-pound Blucas has been a starter for four years and is rated as a fine AllAmerican prospect. IUP returns six other starters from last year's explosive offensive unit. These include running backs Dan Cox (5·10, 185) and Tom Mc· Kracken (5-10, 190). Cox gained 696 yards last year while McKracken carried for 493 yards . The top receiver is speedy flanker Dave Smith (6-2, 205), who caught 35 passes for 616 yards last year.

The squad normally carrie s 18-24 grappl ers, but this year the fr eshm en alone account for 18 would-b e Colonel matmen. Of cours e, Coach Rees e is pleased with the abundance of material, but th ere are problems. "Since we , hare the gym with the basketball te am, we are restricte d in the area available to us . We cut five or six boys already. I would prefer to ke.e p everyon e, but there just is not enough space . Also, we expect to hav e more boys out after the soccer and football seasons end ." First Meet Dec. 6 Th e team's first meet is on De ce mb e r 6. It is a quadrangular with Iona State, The University of Buffalo, and Montclair State participating and Wilkes as host. The meet will consist of three matc hes, two in th e afternoon and one at ;ight. Preparing for an opening meet like this one, require s a sacrifice from each participant. The practice s chedule now calls for the boys to run thr ee miles be fore each practice . After th e season is started, it will be cut to two miles . When the boys return to the gym, Coach Reese puts them thro u gh another hour and a half of grueling calisthenics and wrestling holds. 'A Championship Team' The wrest ling mentor feels his grapplers have the requirements necessary for good wrestling. "They are all dedicated. They have to be in order to remain in top physical condition and also diet to meet class w eight. Of course they benefit in that they are a part of a championship team." The coach predicts anoth er outstanding year for the matmen. "Last season we were ranked fourth na tionally. I fee l we c·an improve on that. Don't forget, a lot of factors come into consideration during the season. Injuries and ill health are the most common on es. However, we have the best potential in my years here and, barring disasters, we should take the MAC championship and do we ll in the national tournament. " A ke y factor in the coach's pre d iction is the return of all of last year's team except for Joe Wiendl, who graduated, and Steve Kaschenbach , who will return next semes ter after he recovers from strep throat.

"He is very diligent and thorough ." Coach Toluba keeps up with the latest developments and is very good at passing this information on to th e players. Bogusko 's biggest thrill as a socce r player came in his sophomore year. A highly-rated Muhlenburg team came to Wilkes after winning nine straight. It left 9 and 1, after a 2-1 defeat. Dave also plays lacrosse. As a member of the attack team in Wilkes' premier showing, he scored six goals a gainst Kutztown for a s chool record. This season Dave is a co-captain and h e tak es this responsibility seriously. "I have to be careful not to relax from the rules set by Coash Toluba . If the co-captain doesn 't adh ere to them, why should any on e else? They keep a player in top physical condition which is a definite requirement of soccer." Bogusko compares this year's team to past Colonel squads fa vorably . "We lack the outstanding individual talent which characterized Wilkes teams in the past few years. We lack an Ed Manda or a Jim Kennedy. But, overall, w e work as a team. We have great morale and faith in each other on the field. Our most valuable asset is our goalie , Chip Eaton. He is one o'f th e best 'l have seen." Th e team 's statistics s peak we ll for Bogusko . Hurt by a weak offense , the Colonel hooters have had to rely on a stringent defense to insure their six victories. Bogusko and his teammates do th eir job so well the team has allowed less than two goals per game. Ask Chip Eaton if "Bug" does his job. He'll tell you. by Stan Pearlman The 1969 version of th e Wilkes College cage team opens its season und er the guidance of Coach Ron Rainey on Decem·ber 1 against a strong Madison Fairleigh-Dickinson College team. Coach Rainey had th e fo llowing to say about the team's chan ces fo r the coming season : "Thi s is th e most experienced team we 've ever had here at Wilkes, and with an adequate job from our inside men this may very well turn out to be the m ost successful cage team in the history of the school." The captain of this year's sq uad is senior forward Herb Kemp . During his career at Wi lkes, Kemp has been named to the All-MAC second team in 1968-69, and chosen as the team's most valuable player in 1967-68. Muc h of the Colonel su ccess fo r . this season will depend upo n Kemp's ability to get the ball off the boards to trigger the fastbr.aak. In the other corne r spot will probably be Bob Ockenfus, senior history major from East Hampton, New York. Ockenfuss was out most of last season with a broken ankle and is counted on to r egain th e form h e displayed during hi s sophomore season. He is also a member of the Dean's List, and a letter winne r in golf. Sharing the rebounding ch ores with Kemp and Ockenfuss will likely be Rich Davis at 6'5" and 205 pounds. During his high school career, Davis was a me mber of the All-Scholastic Wyom ing Valley team for two straigh t season s. He was the Colo n el leader in 'field goal percentage last year with 51 per cent from the field an d is expected to carry a large part of th e scoring load th is season. year's junior varsity captain fr om Brooklyn, New York; Charli e W e tzel, Wyoming Vall ey Conferen ce (1967-68) most valuabl e player; and Terry Jones , sp eedy sophomore guard out of Uniondale, Pa ., along with Jim Hanak, tall est man on th e sq uad at 6' 7" , give th e Colone ls a capabl e bench forc e. Reimel Returns at Guard The fr eshman team for this s eason is a lso th e most promisin g in th e history of the coll ege, and a full 14-game s chedul e has been se t up in order to give it th e pla yin g time. Mike Bachkosky , 6' 4" ce nt er and a second team All-Sch olastic from Pittston Are a High School, will lead th e frosh a tta ck, with suppor t from young play ers like Ma rk E. Caterson at 6'2 " and 195 pound s ; Roman Shahay, winner of his team's outstanding defen s ive pla yer award at th e s trong Pennsburg H igh School; and Jim Moore, sha rpshooting guard from Burlington , New Jersey. Joe Krack enfels , Arni e Koss , Ed Kultys, Charlie Kupsta s, Greg O'Brien, and John Pisa na round out the freshman squad for this season .

Rei mel is a business adm inistration major and was the team leader in assists last season with 144. The other ball-hand ling spot will be filled by Bill Umbach who can play forward as well as guard. H e also averaged 15.8 points per game . Backing up this experienced group of upp erclassmen will be Dave Kurosky who has been very impressive of the sophomore group in early season practices and exhibitions, and who was an allleague center during his last year at Montros e Area High School.

Tomorrow, November 22, the Biological Society of Wilkes College will sponsor the fourth annual Science Exposition for area high school students. The purpose of this Science Exposition is to acquaint students who exhibit an interest in science with Wilkes' Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Engi• neering departments. Dr. Eugene S. Farley will present the opening remarks at the Center for the Performing Arts at 9 a.m. Registration will take place immediately afterwards. Both morning and afternoon sessions will consist of combination lecture-demonstration periods in the various fields of the sciences. The program works like this: members of various dormitories decide on something that interests them. They try to enlist the aid of a faculty member to define and discuss the subject. The goal of the program is to foster a better relationship between students and faculty at Wilkes . The me "In-Group Learning" committee has distributed questionnaires among the faculty members to get their opinion of the program. The r espo nse has been overwhelming; in fact, members of the faculty have volunteered to discuss everything from natural child birth to the war in Vietnam . Mr. Heaman, of the English department, says the "'In-Group Learning ' program is an excellen t idea and I would be glad to do anythin g you like to help initiate the program." Miss Mary Lou Lovette of the Language department said, "Fine. There is too great a distance betweeen faculty and student." Dr. Donald Tappa of the Biology department suggests it is a "very fine idea - but it must be co mpl etely informal for best results ." The first dorm to participate in the program will be Gore Hall. There has been no definite plans set for its seminar as of yet. me hop es that all dorms will participate in the "In-Group Learning" program. It will provide any thing needed for the faculty members' presentations. · IDC will also give the dorms financial aid if necessary for refreshments and other entertain ment expenses.

Seniors Initiate Memorial Pledge As Replacement For Traditional Gilt The class of 1970, in an effort to offer a "more significant and beneficial" gift to the College, hop es to initiate a pledge program to be carried over the next 15 years.

Farley has played the· role of educator, College President, counsel or to students , fa ther-away-from-home and No. 1 supporter of everything that was good for his students. He has congratulated t housands for accompl ishments big and small. He has sha ken the hands of graduates in 35 classes and worried about them afterward as much as he did wh ile they were in his coll ege. Tom orrow evening t he Faculty Women of Wilkes College attempt to repay some of the debt by holding a testimonial dinner in his honor. No greater debt was ever created. No greater desire to repay a debt ever existed. We wonde r as we cons ider his leaving the office of President just what this Campus will be like without its creator and fa . ther. Wilkes College without Eugene Farley delivering the welcomes and farewells will hardly seem like Wilkes College. There wil l be many of us who will miss seeing him walk down the street, returning a friendly wave as one of his students shouts , " Hi, Doc !" It is a tribute to his down-to-earth personality that such an info rmal greeting would never offend him but would be returned in kind. Dr: Farley is Wilkes College. Those ·who have disagreed with him' have ended up shaking his hand in admiration and respect. Those who have believed in him have always found their faith justified. He stands for all the true virtues that are too often lost in this frantic s0c iety: honor, t rust , pride , determination , and most of all - loyalty. He has weathered every storm on the Wilkes Campus. There have been heartbreaking defeats - but he has seen only the triumphs. We wonder how the " Great White Fath er" must feel as he walks about the campus and views those buildings and in· stitutions for which he is responsible. It must be a proud feel ing, and a humbling feeling. Some people never know what their li fetimes have accomplished. Dr. Farley is one of the few who can look around with satisfaction for a job well done. He can see the physical structures of hi s College. He can know that thousands of people in this Valley and beyond owe their college educations to him . He had the guts to build a college where those-in-theknow said he could never succeed . If those-in-the-know have any doubts of the victor in this battle, we invite them to visit Eugene S. Farley's " Impossible Dream ." HAZING ANALYSIS Student Government voted to keep hazing as part of freshman orientation last Sunday. We support this action, but with reservations. Hazing is an intrinsic part of orientation . It serves several purposes - as the Wilkes dormitory handbook states, " The college dorm itory provides wonderfui op· portunities for the freshmen to form close associations , not only with their fellow freshmen, but with the upperclassmen with whom they will be living. It is to just these purposes that dormitory initiation programs should be designed. " No one can deny that if hazin g is ca rried out in the way it is designed to be, it can bring students closer together. Certainly it is a failure on the part of "mature" uppercl assmen if the program is not successful in this purpose . It is a minority on Campus that instigates the destructive or frightening aspects of hazing. Wearing dinks and ties, going on scavenger hunts, performing songs and cheers , and lighting upperclassmen's cigarettes should all be done in the spirit of fun. These traditions were begun in 1947. In all these years freshmen have generally supported the hazing programs . Most have found the activities am.using. We hope hazing never has to be abol ished because a few morons can 't handle it satisfactorily. But we al so recognize that SG 's decision on Sunday was not entirely unanimous because some representatives felt initiating had already gone too far. We believe it deserves one more chance. If we can 't handle it maturely next year, then we must resign ourselves to abolishing it. It would be a sad loss of a nice tradition if things must go that far. PLENTY TD BE THANKFUL FDR ... It is the custom every year to sit back in an expansive mood and wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving holiday, knowing f ull well that the way will be spent stuffing one 's self fatter than Tom Turkey, and watching the endless bowl games. We want to clue you in - that is not what the hol iday is meant for! It's a day for "giving thanks ." And even though this may be the era of As ia n war and violent peace at home , we believe that you sh ould set asid e your common complaints and dedicate a day to being grateful. What for , you ask? Plenty, we answer! Why not begin the list with recognition that you are currently privileged to receive a fi ne college education . Don 't take t hat lightly- after all, that education cannot only make you aware of the world beyond your doorstep, but it can open the door to future success . Your college years may be the single most influentia l f~ctor in your development as a person. Add to the list the people you kriow th e good, the fair and middl ing, even the THE REAL MORATORIUM bad. They all contribute to your understanding of what makes t he world go ' round. You can learn from everyone. And probably during your college career you have met a few whom you may sincerely call friends. No matter where you spend the holiday, look around at the familiar faces and be thankful! The warmth of a home is a joy that all too often is overlooked in this unsettled, businesslike society. And finally, be thankful for the country you live in. It may not be popular to be a patriotic American , but even dissenters must admit that they are given the lawful freedom to protest thi s way of life. There are not many nations on this earth that allow its cit izens the right to criticize. Though we may disagree with specifiic policies, it takes a die-hard not to be able to s·ee the glory that is our country. Each individual can add personal blessings to this list. We think you should give it a try. You may find the list longer than you think! ars ai lenge it wa nd ye Colleg hallengE and I , nion of in any college th e col . Wilk ational Id.

The school does realize this problem and is doing its best to solve it. In the last three years Wilkes has added three additional lots and is now in the process of constructing a fourth. Registration, a thorn in everyone's side, is another of the universal problems and also is difficult to solve. The alternatives appear to be to either keep our pres- tive to open The Commons, but not enough students use the facilities to keep it open profitably on weekends. Where are the people who asked for these hours? In closing I feel that the problems of this campus are basically ones that the students can solve themselves. When we have demonstrated our willingness to take a constructive part in solving these problems , the Administration has shown itself to be mor e than willing to assist us in our efforts. With a co ncerted effort we can alleviate conditions that we feel need to be changed, but the success of such efforts will res t in an attitude of cooperation . after 7 p.m. and still find something to complain about?

There were no popular vocal groups that came to Wilkes . It was felt tha t there was no "need" for such a program. The biggest group that we ever had was "The Eddie Day Group ." JOHN ROGERS Wilkes High School was the terminology used to describe the campus when one arrived in 1966 to start his freshman year of college. This w as due to the fac t that in many w ays ent system in whi~ a student theoretically has his c~ice of hours and instructors or possibly institute a system in which scheduling is handled in a random fashion by computers. Both systems have their merits and drawba cks. The major problem with the present system is the great flood of students at the registration gates. At one point during the rush to the door this fall my feet were literally lifted off the ground as I was caught in the pushing . It is only luck that no one was injured in the fracas. If students would arrive at the proper times and stay in one line and not form lin es of their own choice, then registration could gain a semblanc e of order. These two problems are serious ones faced by the College, and the College is making an honest effort to solve them. These situations could be improved by students offering constructive ideas, which would be welcomed by our Administration. Both of these problems are faced by most major colleges and universities in the country. All of the problems of Wilkes', however, are not common to all colleges - -for example, our widespread student apathy and disconcern. It seems to me that students attend ·College for more than grades and an active social life, but maybe I'm wrong. Many of th e events held on this campus deserv e the attention of the student body. The Student Government and College have devoted many long hours of work in preparing the lectures and films held on this campus. How many people attend - maybe 40-50 out of 2,500. This year Student Government has passed the biggest piece of legislation in its history. I am referring to Student Repr ese ntation on Faculty Committees. Student Government felt this program would create interest among the student body . Unfortunately only 2% of the eligible students applied for committees-- -another triumph for apathy at Wilkes College. I am not trying to say that only the present student body has this apathetic attituae, for it has been evident in every class for the past few years in growing proportions. Every year it seems harder to get people who will sacrifice some of their own precious time to help others. In order for the College to provide services for the students it is up to us to organize and participate in creating these opportunities. Many students have complained about having The Commons open week nights and on weekends. The Administration has taken the initia- Wilkes was somewhat backward . I would like to remind some of the seniors and acquaint some of the underclassmen with th e situation of dormitory life at that time. When a resident freshman arrived on campus in 1966, it was require d that all men wear sport coats to dinner on weekdays and a coat and tie on Sunday . Not only was this absurd when the men of the dorms came to dinner dressed in an undershirt, shorts, and THEN the sport coat on top of the unde rshirt, bu t this ruling was strictly enforced. Wha t would be the reaction of the mal e dormitory students of 1969 if this rule were to be reinstated? No televisions or appliances of any kind were permitted in the individual rooms . The two color tel evisions that were furnished by the college could not be used attcr 7 p.m. on weekdays . Any violation would result in the revocation of all television "privileges" for the entire New Men 's Dormitory. How many of us now watch television Every Thursday at 11 a.m. we were blessed with a mandatory assem'b ly program held in the gym . To say these programs were boring would be a gross understatemen t. There were guards a t all possible exits to make certain that nobody left before the program was over. This way the speaker could be assured that his captive audience would remain captive. To say that Wilkes has remained static over the years is not the tru e picture. Students have voiced their opinions over the years and in many cases the Administration has cooperated in granting requests. If this were not so we would have th e same situation that existed in 1966. The backwardness that prevailed then would still prevail now. If Wilk es didn't progress , Wilkes wouldn ' t survive.

HAVERFORD COLLEGE is on the way to further improvement of its black study courses with the grant of $22,500 from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a year-long inter-disciplinary course. As an immediate result, announced by Professor Glickman, program director, will be the offering of a course entitled the Afro-American Experience, in addition to the introductory course in progress. The stated objective of the course is to "provide an introduction to the experiences of peoples of Africa and African origin in the Americas and is meant to offer materials with which first and second-year students can gain a perspective of matters dealt with later in their col- lege careers in the traditional upper-level courses."

Jones' leading figur e in pass interceptions is rather surprising because at the beginning of th e season he was playing offensive split end rather than defensive halfback.

The black s tars w ere all part of an incentive program adopted b y Coach Rollie Schmidt and his staff fi ve ye ars ago . The red stars w ere added only last year b ecause a few of th e players' helmets were covered with black stars . Consequently, fiv e black stars now equal one red star. For th e defensive team th e stars are awarded by th e coaches after studying the game films, on th e basis of an outstanding run of 40 yards or more with an intercepted pass, key or hard-nosed blo cks by defensive men blocking on the runback, interceptions, hard-nosed ta ckles, most tackles in a game, assists, blocked kicks, fumbles recovered, consistent play, and extra effort. Th e stars are awarded to the offensiv e memb ers on the basis ofoutstandnng runs of 40 yards or more, key blocks, pass protectionno 'breakdowns hard-nosed tackles, punt coverage _:_ first hit within the fiv e-yard line, fumbl e recovery, extra effort, and consistent play. At the end of the season, Black Star Awards are given to th e outstanding offensive and defensive team members with th e greatest number of stars to th eir credit. In case of a tie, duplicate aw ards are given. When ask ed how this program has worked out, Coach Schmidt replied, "It has been all for th e good . There have been no problems whatsoever, and we plan to continue it next year. " Two Lamb ert Bowls in four years back up his sta te ment 100 per cent. back to punt on fourth down. The ball w as snapped poorly and by the time Staake recovered th e Indiana linemen had broken throu gh to block th e pun t. With Indiana taking over with first down on the Gold 17, Indian signal-caller Wally Blucas took h is team down to th e two . Cox th en took a handoff from Blucas and swep t right end for th e scor e. The PAT attempt w as no t su ccessful as a bad snap prevented th e kic ker from getting off the boo t. Late in th e same p eriod Blucas passed 35 yards to his tigh t en d which brought the ball to the Colonels' two. On that play Colonel safety Dave Kaschak came up to stop th e run of Blucas bu t th e quarterback passed over his h ead . Cox again swept around th e end for his and the Indians ' second score. Indiana scored on a two point conversion when Blucas h it Dave Smith on a play-action pass. Down 14-0 at th e half, Coach Schmidt began to correct his team's floundering offens e. As th e secon d half began, the Colonels looked like a different club as they marched confidently up th e field but couldn' t ge t into the end zon e. The Colonels threaten ed thr oughout th e second h alf as th ey advanced to within th e Indiana 20 fiv e times . But by interc eptions or simply holding th e Colonels on down s, th e Indians thwarted every Colonel scoring drive. Zakowski's fiv e intercepted aerials were not his fault. Out of their respect for his arm, th e Indian defenders played deep in covering Zak's r eceivers. But th e mud cau sed th e rec eivers to slip and slide and not properly run their p atte rns. Consequently th e Indians w ere in good position to in te rcep t. The Colonels ' deep es t pene tration was to the two but tw o ru nning plays w ere stopped an d a pass to Bill Lazor fell incomplete. The play was the center of controv ersy as Lazor felt he was interfered with. Another Wilkes drive was stopped on the 17 when fullba ck Bob Gennaro fail ed to pick up two yards fo r the first down. The final _driv e "'.as stopped on th e seven with a mmut e to go. . . The final score was no t md1 cative of the two teams . Mos t playe r s agree if the pl ayin? conditions w ere not as bad and if th e game was played here, th e outc ome w ould have been diffe rent. Defensive halfback Garf Jones sai d, "We could have won . I think w e' re a b etter team but I guess th e score say s something else.

This was the second time the teams met for the championship. The first game was played to an 18-18 draw. The game was not sent into overtime due to darkness . The "Y" scored first when quarterback Terry Hurley spotted his receiver Tom Page alone in the flat and connected for a 20-yard scoring strike. The extra-point atte mpt was missed, which later proved to be decisive. Both sides played exceptionally tigh t defense and neither team was able to score again until late in the third quarter. But the Roosevelt offens e, which demolished four teams en route 'to the championship, was not to be denied in its last contest. With four minutes remammg in the third quarter, quarterback Jim Rakowski hit Tom Higgins with a 55-yard 'b omb, whi ch he had done so frequently throughout the . season, to tie the score at six apie ce. Their extra-point attempt was stopped by th e Y. As the fourth quarter began and the score tied, though ts of the previous 18-18 tie were common . With darkness making the ball harder to see, both teams played 13 minutes of the 1final period without scoring. Unable to mov e the ball, Roo sevelt House was forced to punt on fourth down with two minutes remaining in the game. YMCA took possession 20 yards short of midfield in its own territory and ·began to drive. Finally, Hurley dropped back to pass and h it Tom Page with a 20-yard aerial for the go-ahead touchdown. With the score 12-6, leading YMCA again missed th e extra point which proved to be the fact or in its losin g cause. With victory just within its reach, th e Y kickoff team took the field . It simply had to hold Roosevelt House for less than two minutes and victory would b e theirs. 'B ut it couldn't hold Roosevelt for more than two seconds as Thunnel took th e kickoff on his 40-yard line and raced all the way to tie the score. Thunnel was the first playe r to run back a kickoff for a touch down this year. Darkness migh t have had s9mething to do with it. Roosevelt was riding high with this score but th e score was still tied, 12-12. Roo sevelt lined up for the extra point with the Y det ermined to preserve the tie. Rakowski dropped back hurriedly, spotted Higgins on a square-out pattern, and passed. The ball was overthrown but Higgins mad e a fantastic diving catch to clinch victory and the championship . SCORING: YMCA - Tom Page, 20-yard pass from Terry Hurley. Extra point missed. ROOSEVELT - Tom Higgins, 55yard pass from Jim Rakowski. Extra point missed. YMCA - Tom Page, 20-yard pass from Hurley. Extra point missed. ROOSEVEIT-Joe Thunnel, 60-yard kickoff return.

When asked by another studen t what position h e played on the basketball team he would reply, "Manager." He would then draw an immediate "Oh, that's nice" and a forced smile. But the managers' position is more important than that. In short, the manager does those tasks that when done well go unacknowledged, but if they are mishandled or neglected, inconvenience and all heck breaks loose. This season the hoopsters and Coach Don Rainey are fortunate to have three very cap able managers: Tim Duerling, Tom Demovic , and Glenn Kerin, all of Bruch Hall. All thre e agree as to what the primary responsibilities of the managers are. Demovic asserted, "Doing the things the coach shouldn't have to worry abo u t and caring for the needs of the players." Kerin felt they are partially respons ible for providing spirit and morale. But just what do they do? Most important, they're responsible for supplying the cagers with those orange spheres called basketballs, which, of course, are necessary items . They must make certain a medicine kit is always available at By Hessler practices and games. Also, they have to provide ice packs and tape for injuries a nd to distribu te and collect all e quipm ent. One other function which is equall y as important as providing basketball is to count the players as they board the bus for an away game. These jo'b s don 't sound like much fun, so why should anyone want to do th em? It can't be for esteem or prestige. Tom had this to say: "I like basketball bu t I'm not such a good player. I wanted to be a part of it and be associated with the school, participate, and get a chan ce to visit other schools." Tom feels that his position is one which is usuall y Phone 822-1121 DISCOUNTED RATES FOR STUDENTS ' PERSONAL LAUNDRY & DRYCLEANING AT THE MEN'S DORM West South Street , Wilkes-Barre Compliments of looked down on, but to the players on the tea m and the coaches the managers are indispensable. They don't go along just for the ride. Like any other unit, the managers have their own vocabulary. For them a "fast break" is the pre- and post-game scrambles to get everything organized. The "freeze" is the lugging of equipmen t to and from the bus in those cold winter nights. " Steals" are something they preve n t a nd if they don't they'r e probably out of a job. Consensus among th e mana gers is that we should have a good team this season. The three managers are depended on by the coach es, fans , and players. Managing makes it.

Both the gridders and boaters turn ed in very resp ords - the Gold Machine going 6-2 and the charges of Coach off making it 7-4-1. Those are two fine records . Naturally, some people would have liked to have seen a where on that football record, preferably on the right side. Bui to be this year. Of course, some people will compare this y to last year's and the previous seasons'. Based on record year's squad suffers. But why compare it to something in the In 1969, the Wilkes College I won six games, lost only two, and close margins. It won for the fifi year the 'MA:C 'football champio many other schools can boast of the 1969 squad and the soccer sessed so mething in such great q quality tha t past teams have teamwo rk. ·Perhaps it could be Coach Rollie Schmidt's signifi pride and poise. And teamwork. The gridders held the opposi than 10 points per game. Yet th outstanding player, no super-star. Pete Herbst made it possible. The defensive ry Hoover, Charlie Fick, John Williamson, John Mazur, Bob Charlie Graziano and the linebackers Pat Malloy, Tony Loveland , and Ron Hillard all worked together, unselfishly to Schmidt a defensive unit he could depend on. And then there's the secondary - a pass defense which 23 enemy passes which broke the old record of 22. Gari I Kaschak, Jerry Moser, Fred Harkins, and John Kerr fooled I ple. That was supposed to be the defensive minus at the the season. Based on the first half against Lycoming, it lo prediction was right. But they came around and were great the season . Go back to Oct. 4 when the gridders faced Moravian it, 6-0. In that game th e Greyhounds beat us in the stat' ment - outrushing and ou tpassing the Gold. But when the w ithin 20 yards of scoring, the defense tightened up and p shutou t. And even in both losing causes, the defense handed numerous opportunities to score and perhaps go ahead to Ithaca the defense held the Bombers within the 20-yard I' they had the 'b all in the last quarter and forced three I gave the Colon els excellent field position. And th e offense was at times overpowering and other scored eno ugh to win, and other times, twice, not enough. one shortcoming of th e offense - the inability to play cat When Ted Yeager rushes for over 100 yards in a game you teamwork. Who sets him free? The offensive line, Bill Eustis, Ed Burke, and George Conway, Les Loveland and set the blocks . They also provided the protection for qu Zakowski to co mplete 48 per cent of his passes. It was all Bill Staake is a great punter, averaging 38 yards. But protection or time to set up and punt, Bill might have go punts travelling maybe 13 yards. But it's a common thought in football if the offense seven points, the defense can allow only six. And if the u p 40 points, the offense should score 41. That is the es work-to make up for a teammates shortcoming and not rather realize it part of the job. The ,Blue and Gold Machhll deal of that. Going to the other side of the bleachers at Ralston Fi team also demonstrated this great teamwork. Tri-captain realized that the boaters had no great player like last phenomena Do.v Soliaminski, but they compensated for more as a team.

Coach Ted Toluba commented, "Considering what we had to work with, I would have to say t,~e seas~n. turned out pretty good. Surpr1smgly, the players themselves thoug~t they could have played better. Mike Bergbauer, an outstanding worker on defense, had this to say: "We should've won a few more games. A few more goals and we could have been 9-2. We'll have to see what happens next season." Coach Toluba was referring to the fact that most of the players had not worked together before but still played team ball. B_ogusko and Combellack agreed with Toluba when they said their teamwor_k was great, much better than their oppositio~s_'. biggest boost_ ~~e team receiv~d was the acqmsiho!1 o_f some fine freshmen. T~ny Tangi, Bill Castor, and Bob Lmaberry formed a respectable defensive unit. Garabedian, Ed Weber, and Doug Cox showed they could contribute to the offense. Thus it is evident that the decision the coaches and players made at the beginning of the season to play freshmen and forfeit all conference games was a good one . Coaches Jim Nedoff and Toluba now have an experienced group of players returning next season, something they would not have been a'b le to look forward to had freshmen not played. And what of next year? Everyone will be working to improve the 7-4-1 record. But the loss of Benson, Bogusko, Tarbet, and the other seniors will prove costly. The first two were responsible for the team's tight defense and the latter for the Colonels' scoring punch. If the teamwork continues, everything else should fall in place. !he 0000□0□□□□□□□□□00□□□□□□□□□ ULATIONS, Gridders, season. ooo□□oaooooo□o□ o□□□cooooo□o□ Coke has the taste you never get tired of 1. 2. 3. 4.

Recently a night was conducted at Pocono Downs whereby gate receipts went to the Marine Corps Reservists and were used in the drive. Representatives of local ra dio stations have volunteered to devote parts of their broadcasts to urging their listeners to support the Marines in the Toys for Tots ventur e. Pete Gabrial of WARM, at a meeting h eld at the center to coordinate the activities of the final month of the campaign, suggested a caravan type affair complete with floats, similar to the United Fund Caravan. The Lake-Lehman High School Key Club offered to permit the Marines to solicit contributions a t its home football games. In previous years, trucks from the Reserve unit were used to garne r the contributions. This year, however, because of the cuts in the federal budget, the trucks will not be able to run constantly. The Reservists will therefore need the aid of various groups to help them in this capacity, and most likely pickup areas will be designated. The College was represented at the coordinating meeting, and to date its specific role in the campaign is undetermined. Individuals wishing to make contributions are urged to deposit or mail these to the Marine Corps Reserve Training Center, 1118 Wyoming Avenue, Wyoming, Pa. PLEDGE Continued from Page 1) pledge.

Partridge Wilkes Chosen One Of Seven In Case Study by Kathy Kopetchne On Sunday, April 12, a case study of Wilkes College will begin, and it will end on Wednesday, April 15. During these few days, several aspects of Wilkes College will be observed and discussed by a committee of men headed by Dr. Aldolph Anderson, president of Hartwick College. But before April 12 many hours of hard work must go into making this case study successful. During the first week of December the first drafts of the sub committee reports will be presented to the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is composed of members of the faculty, administration, and student body. The two students on this committee are Dave Lombardi and Ross Piazza, both of whom are members of the Student Government. I leslimonial to honor departing Presne S.

The only Committee left vacant was Admissions only because there were no eligible applicants. The people chosen for these committees are entitled to the same priviledges as any faculty member on the committee. They are allowed equal vote and equal opportunity to submit proposals for new ideas and policy change. Since this is the first year for Faculty Representation it will be used as a model year.

These students plan to submit and discuss ideas concerning; changes in the calendar, curriculum changes, food for athletes, and various other ideas concerning the welfare of the students on this campus. -NOTICE TRYOUTS Majorette tryouts will be held Thursday, December 18, at 6 p.m. Practice will be provided for all those interested on December 9, 11 and 16 in the gym at 6 p .m.

I easily recall -Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 1966. bt that you remember the day - after all you were only 10. 1 day vividly, however. I opened the letter from John Whitby that moment on I knew I wanted to be part of Wilkes College. It was an exuberant feeling. After all the college boards, applications, visits to campuses and nail biting - it was all over! Suddenly I belonged somewhere. It's a secure feeling , at best. At its worst, it is frightening. It is looking into the four years ahead and seeing a sea of nameless faces . You remember every scary thing you've ever been told about college.

I stared long-stemmed red rose, trying to see the future . don't really remember what I would have told you then was my ible dream, Mindy. Perhaps writing my very own column, serving editor of the college paper, tutoring children, starring on Broadway ling a novel. I've reached a few stars, and left many far behind me. ·011 the impossible dream reaches farther ahead just past the lime I have left to spend on this campus . The dream is just as as the one I dreamed sitting in the high school stadium that june day. The last time I saw you, you were trying to decide whether you interested in being a com mercial artist. You were intense, con, worried .. .. You looked at me in exasperation and said , "You're kr to be in college and know what you want." My dear little onelhe rub.

Bu t th eir parents are to b e held responsible for what th eir parents or grandparents did wrong. Nice work if you get it. True pacifists aside, the yo ung (Continued on Page 8) by Roy V. Hollabaugh In Dr. Bertocci's lectures on " Sex, Love, and the Person," the most prominent fact emphasized was that sex and "other" problems intermix. He suggested that one must m ature to where the conversion can be made from "sex for sex's sake, to sex for Jove's sake." Dr. Bertocci developed the thesis that any relationship must be meaningful eno ugh to overcome the problems connected with sexual adjustment. Dr. Bertocci concluded "sex for sex's sake" transpires, in most cases, with persons who are running from insecurity. In these cases the sexual act does not create a satisfying meaning within the individual and he is left with nothing else to do but search for another sexual encounter. Love was the missin g element; in the doctor's words , " . . . sex without love , loses its meaning." Another important factor is the transition from "I need to be loved ," to " I want to love ." Upon developing this attitude, you can use sex as an effective means for communicating this desire to love. Viewed in this light, sex as a part of love is creative, and creativity is essentia l to the growth of love; sex without love short-circuits creativity. Naturally, following love comes marriage. Marriage is a legal state in which two persons develop their values together. The doctor asserted that marriage was necessary in forming meaningful love and sexual relationships because with marriage one is bound by more than just physical attraction. Marriage should be generated by a love that is great enough to overcome sexual problems. This love should be essentially a love of one another's values, so when you encounter sexual problems you hav e this love to rely on . In other words, this love of values and physical love must be combined; they are combined in marriage and in marriage the sexual relationship of the co upl e is given time to develop in to a meaningful conveyance of their love . With time each new sex act between the couple will have a new m eaning, and each new meaning will help them develop depth in their relationship. It is also imperative that the transition from the " need to be loved " to the "desire to love," takes place in forming a family . A successful home, and family, is where the individuals love together, rather than just live together. The parents must learn to give their love to their children, and quench their thirst for love between themselves. The family should function as a unit, each member an essential part of the unit; the love generated within the family should SG Members Plan Activities For Commons Two co mmittees of Student Government have been working on plans to make The Commons mor e useful and beneficial to Wilkes Students. Some of their ideas have already been placed into practice, while others are planned to be adopted in th e future . Last week, a jukebox was installed on the first floor of the building, and various club nights hav e been set u p. The first of these clu b nights was held on November 5, and was sponsored by the Biology and Chemistry Clubs. They presented a film en titled "A Plague on You r Children", which concerned th e effects of biological warfare . Another such night was scheduled for Nove mber 19 when the Spanish Club presented the film "Don Quixote." Checkers, ch ess, pi n gpong, pitch and shuffleboard tournaments are also planned, and the dat es for these will be announced at a later time. A Coffeehouse ai'.id fo lk night is being planned for December 23. It will include entertainment by campus talent, and possibly, a film . Plans of a mor e proj ecte d na ture include sponsoring we ekly films in the Commons, which would b e separate from the films already provided by Manuscript. There are also hopes of settin g u p Chase Annex as a stu d ent center complete with pinball machine s, pin g-pong (Continued on Page 8) serve as the cohes ion needed lo hold the uni t together. Dr. Bertocci described premarital sex in terms o f the pyschological problem it creates today instead o f the biological problem it created for the generatio n before us. A generation ago one abstained from premarital sex because of the likelihood of pregnancy occurring. Today, in our scientifi c era, the contraceptives available to men and women greatly reduc e , if not eliminate, the chances of impregnation occu rring. But, as I said, our problem today is not a bio logical one, it is a psychological one . Since sex ou t of marriage does not allow the individuals to conveniently work out their sexual problems , man y of these sexual experiences are unsatisfying, emo tio nally as well as physically, and even frustratin g. Th e pill, which may induce premarital sex, is, as the do ctor put it, "the problem of our generation." The pill ; while enhancing the temptation to participate in premarital sex, also enhances the opportunity for un warranted fears and apprehensions to be embedde d in one's mind , and the experience gained from premarital sex may be very detrimental to th e ps yc hological balance of the persons involved. Sex should say something. How can a meanin gful sexual relationship be developed if it is no t accompanied with the love that is essential to it, plus the time that is needed to reach sexual compatibility? It is true, the pill will greatly increase the quantity of sex available; however, the pill will not give quality in sex. Quality in sex is only obtainabl e through much effort, understanding and Jove b etw een two people . Dr. Bertocci suggested that a "Doctrin e of Repression" be initiated to create a standard b y which we should live; we should institute within ou r lives moral, rather than biological , reasons for being chaste. " Sex, Love, and the Person" if together, accordin g to the doctor, should be together in marriage. As Dr. Bertocci stated: "Marriage is a problem in itself, bu t I would suggest that many of th e answers to thi s problem may, however, be found in marriage. As well as the 'pill' being a problem of our generation, I think the impracticability of college students getting married, even though they may be in love, is also a perplexing problem of our generation . The ideal wa y is to repress our desires until sex , love, and marria ge are at last obtainable. If we can repress ourselves to when we can have thes e three to ge ther, then we will have better 'sex,' better 'love,' and we will be bette r 'persons' .n WHAT• WHERE• WHEN Friday, December 5 Sem inar - Ja roslav G.

Letterman's Club �Page 4 THE BEACON Operas To Be Conducted By Former Wilkes Student An alumnus of Wilkes College and the Julliard School of Music, Gordon Roberts, will conduct two operas to be presented by Young Musicians, Inc. The performance will take place on Friday, December 12, at 8:30 p.m. in the Masonic Temple, Scranto,n. Selected for presentation were The Medium , by Gian Carlo Menotti, and The Bear, by William Walton. The Medium is one of the most popular operas of the twentieth century, having played almost two years on Broadway. Critics have acclaimed it as one of the finest works of its genre by a contemporary composer. Ghostly effects and suspenseful drama insure an intense audience involvement. An outstanding cast has been selected to present the opera. Miss Joanna Bruno, who will sing the role of Monica in The Medium, was chosen for that role by the co mposer, Menotti, for his production of the opera this past summer at his festival in Spoletto, Italy. Her success was so singular that Menotti asked her back for next summer's festival. It is believed that Miss Bruno is on the threshold of world acclaim. Students at Wilkes will readily recognize another principal in The Medium, Mrs. Helen Ralston. She is widely recognized as one of the great musicians of this area, and has contributed extensively as a soloist to countless oratorio and other choral programs, as well as being a distinguished recitalist. Neil Rosenshein, another principal, has participated 'for the last two summers in operas at the Aspen Musical Festival, Aspen, Colo. The second opera, The Bear, has had only one American performance, at the Aspen Music Festival during the summer of 1968. The cast, which premiered the opera for POJETBY <COHN Roommates Who borrows all your ready cash? Your roommate. Whose talk is senseless haberdash? Your roommate.

Abbe Michel Quoisl Americans at Aspen, will present the opera to the audience in Scranton. Steven Rowland as Smirnov, and Cynthia Bedford as Popova are the featured leads. Chekhov fans will recognize this opera as his delightful comedy enhanced by music. This production is considered a major step forward in the artistic development of this area. Students interested in attending may obtain tickets at the Wilkes College Bookstore, •Charles and Mary, and the Book and Gard Mart.

He clarified himself further by saying, "Change is a part of living, but I feel change should be orderly and beneficial and I'm going to be part of that change here at Wilkes. " Certainly, Mr. Ken Maloney is proving to the people with whom he has worked that he is eager to b e a constructive part of that change. He has become concerned with various student organizations and his aid and advice has been welcomed. Change has not been an easy commodity to secure here at Wilkes, but, with men like Mr. Maloney coming to Wilkes, it might become easier. Amnicola To Photo Residents $24.00 P age 5 by Paulette Leofflad The Yearbook Staff met with 1.D.C., A Student Government Rep resentative, and Mr. Hoover in No vember to reach an agreement on the dormitory p i cture issue. It was decided at this meeting that dorm pictures will be used. The Yearbook Staff will make ou t the time schedule and I. D.C. is in charge of enforcin g it. Candid shots of dorms will also b e u sed. A new feature of this years amnicolo is th e ar ran gement of fac u lty pictures. To change th e pace of previous years, the faculty pictures will be taken in informal groups . More color will also be in this edition. ,Senior pictures are in the progress of being taken at Lazarus. If anyone has not received an appointment they are to contact Lazarus . The Yearbook Staff this year is endowed with the most members ever, and an Art Staff has been added. Experienced photographers are needed for the staff, if anyone is interested, they should stop by the amnicolo office in the Student Organization Building on North Hampton St. With these encouraging notes , people should support the coming subscription cam paign during the first week of February. The price of the book is $2 . Chairmen of all Student Government committees have submitted lists of people who have participated in any activity. This includes students ranging from freshman orientation week, homecoming ushers, and the newly appointed students on faculty committees . Student Government feels that this is just a small way to say thank you and show its appre ciation for the work and interest students have shown in Student Government. Spu rred on by student's r equests to be heard on issues, TEXAS TECH has given its students an area where they can voice their opinions at anytime. The place, called the "Free-Speech Area" by the Administration, is being opposed by the liberals on campus because it is located away from where the students converge, but most of the students feel that th e idea of a speech area is a good one and should become an example to other colleges. It seems the Greeks at KANSAS STATE outsmarted the naive fresh man girls at registration in September. Freshman girls completed one of the many cards requesting personal information without realizing that they were not for college information but for the file box of Sigma Nu Fraternity House. Although students at DICKINSON have written evaluations of professors to b e distributed to the students, there has been no formal acceptance of student involvement in the evaluation of courses and instructors .

ACTION IN SOCIETY of DICKINSON College has discussed tp. e possibility of establishing a "free university" which would consist of two divisions. The first would include open classes held on campus, and taught by students or professors on subjects r evelant to today 's life. The second would b e concentrated in the community of Carlisle and would consist of practical courses such as cooking, sewing hygiene, and diet. The AIS feel s that this program would b e w ell worth the work and res earch involved . The UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND is offering a semester in Israel at Tel Aviv University, open to students who have complete d one year of college s tudy at a recognized institution.

In regards to the cage team's record last year, Kemp believes that the problem with the team occured on the road. "We won only three games away from home the entire season, and it was probably the result of our depending too much upon fan support rath er than our own effort and iniative in trying for wins. This year we're going to have to assume mor e pride in ourselves and in our game. The crowd support should act only as a supplement to our own effort." Kemp also realizes that unlike last year when h e wasn 't captain of the team, this year people will be watching him for direction . He states , "thi s year I'll have to set the example no t b y talking, but rather by my own actions. I'll also have to try to eliminate the physical and mental mistakes I was guilty of at times las t year." (Continued on Page 7) Herb Kemp The Colonel grapplers open up the new campaign tomorrow with a quadrangular meet with University of Buffalo, Montclair State, and Oneonta participating. Wrestling coach John Reese will begin his 17th season at the helm. In sixteen years, his teams hav e compiled a record of 135 -25-6. Oneonta finished third in last season's quad-meet, behind Buffalo and Wilkes , first place winner. This year, Oneonta's team is no t too well-known, although the Oneonta coach claims to hav e a respectable squad. Buffalo is progressing quite well and will provide some stiff competition. The Colonels will begin the me et tomorrow, wrestling Oneonta at 1 p .m. Buffalo will m eet Montclair State. Th e second round will take plac e late Saturday afternoon.

Against Princeton co-captain Andy Matviak pulled a rib muscle which set the tone for the day . Five grapplers were injured a t West Poin t, none of them serious. Coach Reese stated the wrestlers looked good in both encounters . In typical co nservativ e fashion Reese commented , " We hav e a veteran team but we must work on a lot of things. " Based on their results in the scrimmages and practic e sessions, the coach has listed the following to see action tomorrow : At 118 pounds are four possibilities . Bob Fluhinger, Jay Mcginley, Ed Garabedian , or sophmore Bill Lukridge will s tar t. Co-captain Andy Matviak will wrestle at 126 pounds. Matviak holds the record for most pins in a season (1967-68) and won a Wilkes Open Cro wn in 1968. Co-captain John Marfia will be at 134 pounds with assistanc e from Al Favata. In a quadrangular m eet, a wrestler does not have to be in every meet so Favata will probably see some action. Marfia was the MAC champ in 1969 when he finished 11-1.

Staake's punting average is amusing if yo u compare his mark yards per kick to a team in the National Football League. The ork Giants, who have now lost seven straight games, have had nuble with finding a respectable punter. Ernie Koy, their third fullback, made an attempt at it but his booming 13-yard punts turned off the coaches. Their place-kicker, Pete Gogolak, then the punter. He wasn't too bad and he would have stayed there not missed three field goal attempts in a game.

The Wilkesmen displayed a wellbalanced attack as four cagers hit for do uble figures. Frank Januzzi, filling the vital sixth-man role, came off th e bench early in the first half to spark the attack.

The proposal, the second presented to Student Government, was revised to alleviate ambiguity and include suggestions made by Student Government members . In essence the proposal sugges ts that curfews be eliminated for women over 21. It further suggests that women dormitory students, with the exception of first semester freshmen, who have not attained the age of 21 years but who obtain parental consent, be exempted from curfew hours. It was also suggested that female resident two-year terminal students and nursing education students be exempted from curfews .

Guide listed For Draft Agers Here is a rule-of-thumb guide for draft-age youths to determine what the birthday lottery drawing meant to them. You are involved if your birthday falls between January 1, 1944, and December 31, 1950. If your birthday was drawn in the first 122 numbers and you have no deferment, such as college, it is almost certain you will be called for induction in 1970. If your birthday was drawn between No. 123 through 244, the outlook is touch and go that you will receive your draft board notice. There are varying factors, such as the quotas assigned to your local Selective Service Board, deferments, whether your birthday comes high or low on this middle grouping. If your birthday was drawn in the bottom third from numbers 245 through 366, there is small likelihood you will be summoned in the draft and you can probably plan your life and career in the knowledge you will have no military service requirement, barring national emergencies. If you are temporarily deferred because of college or job, your exempt status continues but the priority level in which your birthday falls in the drawing will be effective for the year your exemption expires. Thus if you should graduate or drop out of college in 1973, if your birthday was the 15th number drawn in the Monday lottery, you would be placed in the 15th level of call-ups in 1974 even though a different birthday was drawn 15th for that year. �Page 2 THE BEACON Friday , December 12, 1 Lustig Cites Contra versial, Campus Issues And States Personal Views Conterning EatJ Editorials ACKNOWLEDGING CHANGE It is common knowledge at Wilkes, as well as at other universities and colleges across the nation, that a college education · encompasses more than fulfilling academic requirements and choosing a major. It is learning about people, situations, and society. It is growing, maturing, and understanding. In order to understand the workings of the College and how these happenings affect you, important questions must be asked. What is Wilkes College? What does it stand for? What does it mean to you? In order for a student to function effectively under the policies o.f the College, it is fundamental, if not necessary, for a student to understand how the policies of th e College are made. To define proper channels. Most policy changes begin with Student Government, the voice box of the students. If a change receives the approval of this organization, it is then forwarded to the Administration. The Administration 's handling of the policy change is twofold. On one hand, it must represent the views of the faculty, and on the other hand, it must indicate the views of the Administration. The final step of policy change lies in the Board of Trustees. Here, the owners of the College finalize all policy changes. Wilkes College at this point in time is undergoing a "forward thrust." Buildings are going up, students are taking on new responsibilities with representation on Faculty Committees, and our academic standing has reached a new height. Dr. Farley has been quoted as saying, "What is best for the students of Wilkes College is best for Wilkes College." Since the stu dents are part of the "forward thrust," let them be heard and understood, just as they are trying to understand and implement the proper channels of the College. To The Editor: After reading your editorial last week titled "Of, 8 For The Students, " many thoughts passed through my You were cautioning the new action committee on · this had its merits. You were also endorsing the issues they presented. Only The Beacon has endorsed these co times and therefore what is being presented to the students is old material and unfortunately old at that. There seem to be five basic issues on the Wilkes Campus which are highly controversial. Only they were controversial when I was a freshman, back in 1967. The issues are open house, the cafeteria, no curfews, the parking problem, and off-campus housing. The open house issue was finally given some attention this year by the proper people. As a result of some hard work by some IDC memhers, it was passed by the Council of Deans, after an enthusiastic vote of male resident students. Now it is in the hands of the Administrative council. It HAS been since a week before Thanksgiving vacation. According to Dean Ralston, they met and discussed it thoroughly, but wished to discuss it again. Surely it is an extremely important policy decision of behalf of the Administration, but this is not the first time this issue has been raised. These individuals should have some preconceived ideas of how they stand. In other words, why is it going to take them the better part of a monlh ally vote?

If curlews abolished, it could be (Continued Yoda Writes letter Conterning Open Ho Dear Sirs: PERHAPS This editorial is an endorsement of the work being done by the Calendar-Handbook Committee to change the present calendar. The change in calendar recommends that final exams be administered before the Christmas recess, thereby giving students one long break instead of two short breaks. It is felt that one long break can have many benefits. The faculty would have a longer time period in which to grade the final exams and compile final grades. Students would also receive the benefits of one long break. Many students could obtain employment during this time period, thereby relieving some of the financial burden of the coming semester. Students could also enjoy a Rice, worry-free vacation, alleviating much of the wear and tear of going to and from home twice a month . A calendar change could be implemented in one of two ways: either by be ginning the school year one week early or by cutting off one week. Perhaps other Faculty Committees might consider some of these suggestions for the coming year: a plus or minus grading system, an honor system , an unlimited-cut policy, oral final exams, a greater concentration of new courses in the language department, and more community-college service projects. HEL-L-L-P ! The Beacon staff is currently in the process of reorganizing for its second semester. Each week this paper runs announcements begging interested students to come in and join us. Each week we are disappointed by an almost total lack of response. Students just do not seem to believe that they do not have to be Bob Considines or Art Buchwalds to become full-fledged working members of their school newspaper staff. Experience or background is not required - most currently working for us did little or no work in the writing field previously. Desire and determination are the prime prerequisites for any job. Some us walk in full of dedication and stay through sheer stubbornness . Most of us agree that being an i,:itegral part of a creative school activity provides enormous satisfaction. There is the knowledge that our four years on this Campus are not spent taking what others can give us, but that in even a small way we are giving something of ourselves to the College. Our meetings are held every Sunday evening at six o'clock in the Student Organizational Building. You are invited to attend and learn to read copy, and write headlines or stories.

The only basic restriction is that the course to be taken may not be in the student's major field. Aside from these restrictions, any one course that is offered in the University catalogue may be taken on a pass-fail basis. At the conclusion of that two-year experiment, the results are to be carefully analyzed to evaluate the favorable and unfavorable aspects of the new system. The results will determine whether a more extensive use of the pass-fail system would be beneficial to the students. Academic courses as timely and relevant as a front-page headline will be offered qualified freshmen at INDIANA UNIVERSITY this year. Eighteen special seminars, most of them suggested by students themselves, will deal with such current and thorny problems as poverty, discrimination, student unrest and black power. Fifty students of ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY in Illinois will have to pay for parking tickets and towing fines because their cars were towed away. They couldn't understand why their cars had been towed away until they discovered that a fraternity on the same street had stolen all the no-parking signs. The police had put up no-parking signs on the street so it could be cleared. The cost for the prank will be a total of $477.50.

The first thing you should do is read a copy. Most SG members don't have extra copies and you probably can't get one anywhere else either. At first I was unable to obtain a copy of the proposal so I questioned SG people about it. From one high-level SG official I received the following reply: "It's nothing. It's not worth worrying about," and right then, I know that I'd better start worrying. I asked him why it wasn't worth worrying about. "Well, it's really just for the Administration, so they can have it; you know, just so it's there in case of anything." "In case of anything" is the best description one could assign Dissent and Due Process, for truly, it does make let everyone read the message, but emphatically denied considerations for anything. 111yone named Bob.

Post Saturday Night 01 weeks ago athlete in col entitle d THE approach to u rem em ber, k boyco tt of s do I agree rovoca tive, i feels th e l Before 1,000 fans at the gym, the Colonel matmen got off to a tremendous start by winning for the second straight year the quadrangular meet. To do so , Coach John Reese's grapplers romped over Oneonta, 37-3; Montclair State, 30-6; and in the final round downed unbeaten University of Buffalo, 22-12. · The Gold Horde won 23 of 30 bouts while recording nine pins. The Colonels thus go in to tomorrow's match against C. W. Post in pretty good shape. Coach Reese got good mileage out of his squad as 19 grapplers saw action. Reese started his top 10 in the first and third rounds and saw most of his second team wrestle in the second round. In the first round against Oneonta, Colonel matman Jay McGinley got things underway for himself and the team by taking a 13-4 decision over Steve Schaffer. It was McGinley's first win of his collegiate career and first of the 1969-70 season for the Colonels . John Marfia, Al Zellner, Gerry Willets, and heavyweight Leo Roan then followed with pins for a Colonel romp over the school from New York. Tom Morris, Brian Lot't, and Rich Ceccoli each recorded decisions . Ron Fritts won by forfeit. Reese went to his second team in the second round against Montclair State in eight of 10 bouts, and it responded with six wins which enabled the Colonels to go into the final round with a sizeable lead over Buffalo . In that round co-captain Marfia got his second pin of the afternoon in 1 :5 7 of the first period to almost duplicate his pin of 1 :51 in the first round. Bill Lukridge, Ed Garabedian, Bob Matley, Bob Yanku, and Tom Grant each decisioned their opponents . Marfia, Rich Mandigo, and Fritts pinned theirs . Meanwhile, the University of Buffalo had recorded wins over the same teams as it too entered the th ird and final round without a loss. Buffalo downed Montc lair collegiate career. Scott Stever got Buffalo right back into the match by downing Tom Morris , 11-4. With the score tied, Brian Lott took the mat for the Colonels against Sol Terrana. With the score tied in the third period, Lott recorded a takedown for two points and the match. His win set the pace for the remainder of the match. Al "Snake" Zellner scored a fourminute pin over Jerry Meisner, only to be followed by Gerry "Gimp" Willets who pinned Peter Lavin in three minutes, as the crowd shouted and stomped its approval. The fans couldn't hav e been mor e correct as their banner read , "Make no mistake with Gimp and Snake!" The Gold Horde managed only one victory in the final three bouts as Ron Fritts decisioned Cliff Gesner, 9-2. Ceccoli and Roan lost by decisions, 3-1, and 2-1, respectively. Coach Reese 's grapplers took first place by garnering 89 total points to second-place Buffalo 's total of 65 points . However, Coach Reese wasn't overly pleased with his team's performance. "We still have a lot of work to do," he commented, "and we looked a little sluggish, particularly in the upper weights . But I'm happy to come away with Swimmers Ready For Saturday John Marfia - 3 wins 28-6, and Oneonta, 25-9. The two undefeated squads me t at 8 p.m. before 1,000 enthusiastic fans at the gym. Things started slowly for the Colonels as New Yorker Ed Brown decisioned young McGinley, 13-2. The experienced captain from Buffalo almost pinned McGinley, but the younger version of Coach Ken McGinley put in a supreme effort to avoid it.

The weapon is the black athlete. As other militants do, Edwards applies the term "Negro" to those of the ·black race who "have taken no stand in support of liberation for black people." Edwards explains: "Here I make a distinction between Negro and Afro-American, or black. 'Negro' here is used as being synonymous with 'nigger'. It carries the same negative connotations. It is felt white racists created Negroes as they did niggers." Among those Negroes Edwards attacks are Jesse Owens, Rafer Johnson, George Foreman, and Lee Evans . Those whom he lauds Herbst are Tommie Smith, John Carlos, Muhammad ussell, and Lew Alcindor. whites are concerned with the injustices to black people. ss, they express bewilderment over the revolt of the black Isn't sports free of racism and the one area where Negroes are equally?

Let it cool for half an hour. Cut the carton down the sides and peel it away. The coating on the container will keep it from sticking. Now yo ur candle is ready to decorate with holly, ribbons, glitter, or any trimming you like. Another idea u sing milk cartons for a younger person on your list is a boat to sail or pull. Lay a carton on its side and cut out a curved piece from opposite sides and across the top. From stiff paper, cut a sail. Attach plastic straws, cut to fit, at top and bottom of sail. Use pressure-sensitive tape. Use another plastic straw for the mast. Knot a string; run it through straw at top of sail and tie it at the top of the mast. Tie another string near bottom of mast; run it through straw and knot. Don't cut string yet. Punch a hole just large enough for the mast to fit into the bow. Insert and anchor to bottom of boat with glue or clay. Slip loose end of string through the stern, leaving enough play in the string on outside of stern. Cut a rudder and keel from carton scraps. Glue in place with waterproof cement. For a pull toy, omit the keel and rudder. Omit the sail and cut carton sides at right angles. Paint boat in bright colors with plastic paint. Another gift which is welcomed by all is a tin of Christmas cookies. A recipe which usually works out well is: is involved in this "battle". It began quietly, but has since then become an ever-widening gap between the students and the school officials . It is not a large request. It is ridiculously trivial.' The students realize this; it seems the administration cannot. By adopting this policy of inflexability, the bridges between the two groups, which the Student Government has tried so hard to create are falling away. It has created discontent, dissatisfaction, and an upsurge in protest. This attitude has created an environment in which militancy can easily be spawned. It has supplied the lever which any radical organization can use in an attempt to bring violence to the Wilkes Campus. This policy is not helping Wilkes in any way; on the contrary, it threatens to disrupt campus peace, and divide the students on issues. I hope that the administration realizes this before any permanent damage is done. The Wilkes College students will NOT tolerate having their wishes ignored, and themselves treated as children. I ask that the administration think of the possible conseq uences they may be tempting. The students feel the faculty has no part in this case, although the trustees do. If the administration has any plans to poll their parents, I ask they abandon them . The repercussions would outweigh its usefulness. And if the administration doesn't want Open Housing, why won't they come out and say so, instead of leading us on? The students of Wilkes came here for an education - not to have their lives dictated.

Whether a girl will take advantage of no curfews, should Not be the main determiniant. What should be is that she would be doing so with parental consent. One can appreciate why the College fee ls some responsibility, but it isn't the girl's parents and shouldn't try to be so. The parking problem is something which will probably never be solved . Even with the new Conyngham lot, parking will still be inadequate. This is one situation which applies to day students moreso than to dorm students. Why should they have to cross the Market Street bridge after parking their car? There is a new garage which was opened by the city. One solution would be for the College to arrange highly discounted rates for student daytime parking, rates which would be subsidized by Wilkes. If a student chose this method of parking, the College might assess his bill with a charge to offset the subsidy . All this would have to be enticing to the student if it were to work properly. It seems ironical that with so many intellectuals on campus, we can't find two heads, that when put together, will come up with a solution to this problem. Or is it that we don't want to find a solution? The last issue is off-campus housing. It seems logical that (1) on a campus which has a housing shortage, the school would be eage r to allow upperclassmen to seek apartments. (2) Granted that there isn't an abundance of apartments in the area, a junior or senior should nevertheless be allowed to seek one if he or she desired to. (3) Shouldn't and wouldn't the idea of living on your own and managing a budget be an essential ingredient in a so-called well-rounded education that is supposed to prepare us for the outside world? In the final analysis, Susquehanna won the game on the foul line. The Colonels shot only 14 times from the foul line and converted 11 of those attempts, while the Crusaders attempted 31 foul shots and made 21. Both teams hit 28 field goals. The discrepancy in foul shots attempted prompted Coach Rainey to resurrect the time-honored phrase "It's tough on the road." In all fairness, the team was visibly tired from its third straight road game in six days and the overheated gym didn 't help matters any.

In the second half, the pace of the game quick end and the Wilkesmen outscored their opponents by two points, but were unable to close the gap sufficiently and the result was a five point loss. Wally Umbach led the Colonel attack with 28 points, his career high, coming mostl y on his patented jumpers from 20 feet out. Rich Davis had 15 and Jay Reimel just missed doubles with 9 points. Wednesday night, the Colonels faced the tough Elizab eth town Blue Jays. The Colonels greeted the visitors with a full co urt press at the beginnin g of the garne and jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead on two goals by Rich Davis and a jump er by Frank Jannuzzi. With 16 :10 showing on the clock, Jay Reimel sank a foul shot to give the Colonels a 9-4 lead. Wilkes did not score again for the next three minutes and in the interim , the outside shooting of Wil Richardson and Charlie Mock enabled the Jays to score 10 straight points and to take th e lead which they never relinquished . Both teams traded baskets for the remainder of the half until with 1 seocnd left, Richardson sank a 25 footer to give the Jays an 11 point lead at the ha!I, 47°36 . The second half found the Colonels forced to play catchup ball. The well - disciplined E-towners n eve r blew their cool and remained ahead by at least 10 points throughout the first 7½ minutes of the second half. With 12:40 left on the clock, the Colonels agai~ _resorted to their zone press . The v1s1tors had no trouble with the press and consistently found themse lves three on one against Rich Davis, the Wilkes safety man. With 7:24 left in the game, Mock hit a 25 footer to give E-town its largest lead of the night, 82-61. Shortly thereafter, Sophomore guard Terry Jones entered the game and the Colonels went into a manto-man press. Jones and Reime l sparked a strong Colonel co m eback which enabled the Blue and Gold to cut the lead coming within 8 points of the visitors at the 2:30 mark, 84-76. The visitors then scored two quick goals and led by 12. From that point on , they went into a freeze . The Colonels w ere forced to foul to regain possession of th e ball. E-town converted severa! key one and one situations and went on to win 97-82. Wally Umbach again led the scoring with 26 points on 12 of 22 from the floor and 2-4 from the foul lin e. Rich Davis had 14, Herb Kemp and Jay Reimel had 12 each. Frank Jannuzzi was the 5th starter in doubles with 10. Saturday night, the Colonels completely overwhelmed visiting Drew University. The Colonels nev er trailed in the MAC game as they eve ned their season's record at 3-3. The highli gh t of the evening occurred with a littl e over 19 minutes left in the second half as Jay Reimel passed to Herb Kemp at the top of the key. Kemp proceeded to sink a 25 foot jumper to register th e 1000th point of his illustrious caree r at the College. The game was halted and Herb was presented with the game ball as the fans gave him a standing ovation. Coach Rainey substituted freely in an attempt to keep th e score respectable and consequently all the Colonels saw a great deal of action . Wall y Umbach led the Wilkes scoring with 21 points hitting on 9 of 15 from the field and 3 of 4 from the foul line. Rich Davis (Continued on Page 8) �Page 6 THE BEACON Alex Hannum, recently appointed coach of the San Diego Rockets in The National Baske tball Association, comm ented, "You can't win in this leagu e unless you have a bald-head ed coach and a bearded center." The Colonel hoopmen don't hav e a bald coach, to the happiness of coach Ron Rainey, nor do they have a bearded center. But they do possess a bearded forward. ... ' F 1 :. II •• Herb Kemp is the player i~ reference. In last week's game against Drew, Herb cracked the 1,000-point margin by hitting a 20-foot jumper hoopsters commented in due fashion, "It's nice to have, but I've got to get moving, get off this slow start." Compared to past seasons this is a slow start for the 6-3 forward. In his freshman season, Herb played 18 games and scored but 89 points, hitting 34 shots from the floor and converting 21 free throws. In 1967, his sophomore year, Herb went wild as he scored his highest season output by banking 434 points. He shot 50 % as he took 340 shots and made 173 plus 88 points on foul shots. In that season, Herb was a terror off the boards as he snagged 432 bounds. Last year, Herb dropped in both Pete Herbst departments. He scored 401 points and pulled down 257 rebounds. A s he said , this s eason is beginning slowly. Against Drew he scored 13 points to bring his total to 48 points. But if anybody pushes himself to improve, it's Herb. Equally important to his scoring, Herb's presence on the court does wonders for his teammates and strikes fear into opposing players . Cen ter Rich Davis said, "It's good to know Herb can clear the boards in case I'm out of position. He's great. " Many times an opposing player driving from the baseline will stop hi s drive when he sees this imposing, bearded figure blocking his path. Tha t quality and the others mentioned here are the re asons Herb was s elec ted to captain Coach Rainey's squad this year. He tak es the position s eriously: "I'll have to set the example by doing, not talking this year." Herb doesn 't talk that much on the court but he does a lot. * * * * * The grapplers of Coach Reese have currently won nine straight matches and one must wonder how good they really are. Their latest match, rather a mismatch , saw the matmen walk over C. W. Post 46-0. They recorded seven pins, six of them coming consecutively. In the prevwus match, the matmen shut-ou t Kutztown. It seems this year 190 pounder Ron Fritts has developed a matphobia. He just can't stay on the mat for longer than a few seconds . It all started last year against Lycoming when he pinned his man in 14 s econds. It's e_vident the phobia has recurred this season. Ron pinned hrs opponent m 18 seconds against Kutztown, which was the second fastest pin in Wilkes history. (Naturally, Ron holds the record for the fastest pin.) Then last Saturday against Post he pinned Ed Schmidt in 25 seconds. He works up more of a sweat in practice than at the meets. With the entire wrestling team wrestling so brilliantly, you don't know where to start. However, the most logical place is the coach. For years , Athletic Director John Reese has produced stand-out teams but this year he just might out-do himself. The coach is a very modest.man who doesn't hesitate to shy away from attention. But his actions speak f~r themse lves a~d the _school should be grateful and appreciative of his ab1ht1es. Besides bemg a member of the rules committee for the NCA"": , the coach was recently appointed a member of the coaching committee for the United States Olympic teams. * * * * * There seems to be some perversion of justice here in America when a person convicted of evading the draft is allowed to run around the country for years appealling the case on the grounds he is a minister while trying to resume his boxing occupation. Cassius Clay, or Muhummad Ali as he was called before being dismissed from the Black Muslims , is now trying desperately to arrange a bout with Joe Frazier. Rightly so, Americans are speaking up to prevent this. The fight was scheduled for Orlando, Florida but Florida Governor Claude Kirk asked promoter Ron Gorton to call off the fight because of large public sentiment against the fight. They couldn 't be more correct. Any society that allows a convicted citizen to roam the country free and at the same time speaking out agamst that country is definitely crazy . If anybody is to be a hero, it better not be Cassius Clay. There was some negative transformation of Clay ever since he won th e world heavyweight title from Sonny Liston in Miami Beach. From then on he became a tool of the Black Muslims and a symbol of hate. His poems about the round he'd knock out his opponent were no longer to be heard. He became vindicative and vicious . If a~ything, we must sympathize, feel sorry for him being brainwashed oy that hate group . He certainly isn't to be idolized. * * * * * Stats for guard Wally Umbach this week are 75 points, converting 35 shots from 58, 17 rebounds and 15 assists. Swimmers Drop Initial Two Meets; 80, Lose To Harpur, Bloomsburg State Pn by by Steve Jones The Colonel mermen, try.ing desperately to 'shake a losing streak which began last year, dropped their first two encounters of the new season. . On Dec . 9, Coach Robert Corba's charges dropped a 61-34 decision to Harpur College and two new school records in a meet which featured some excellent diving by Co lonel Doug Krinke. Last Saturday the aquamen lost their second meet in as many encounters to Bloomsburg State College, 64-31. Against Harpur, freshman Rich Marchant set a new mark in the 50 11 by Steve Newman The Wilk es Op en Wrestling Tournamen t, the oldest and largest event of its kind and one which always attracts the top wrestlers in the East opens here Decemb er 29 and 30. "The Rose Bowl of Wrestling," as it was cited in Sports Illustrated a year ago will feature 350 entries this year, the 38th of its existence. Among the top teams to wrestle this year is the New York Athletic Club, last year's team champion. The Athletic Club features Brooke Yeager, former Wilkes great in its efforts to defend the title. The Club is expected to finish in the top ten. Bloomsburg, Temple, Lock Haven, and Wilkes will attempt to wrestle the Walp Trophy, which is awarded to the team champion, from New York. Although the Colonels have never won the title, they have finished third twice and placed fourth last year. With co-captain Andy Matviak leading the way for the grapplers, Coach John Reese hopes again to finish in the top five. Matviak was last year's champ at 115 pounds. · Other outstanding individuals who will return are Larry Ripley of Lock Haven and Alex Steinberg of the Penn Grapplers. Ripley was the recipient of the Blackman Trophy for the Outstanding Wrestler and the High Point Trophy. Steinberg won the Gorriaran Trophy for the most falls. This will be Steinberg's 13th Wilkes Open. Wilkes College inherited the Tournament from the Wilkes-Barre YMCA in 1950 because the local institution could not offer adequate facilities for the growing event. The tourney was initiated in 1932 by Austin Bishop while serving as wrestling coach at the Wyoming Seminary. The competition has increased from approximately 56 wrestlers in 1932 to its present number. This year's matches begin Monday the 29th at 1 p.m. and will continue throughout the day. Tuesday's matches begin at 1 also. The finals will be held Tuesday night. One ticket is good for both days. Last year's winner was the New York Athletic Club with 67 points followed by Bloomsburg State College w ith 55. Temple University placed third followed by Wilkes with 29 points, only two behind Temple. Old Dominion Co 11 e g e rounded out the top five by placing fifth with 28 points .

This editorial was suggested by the Council of Deans in an attempt to quell the many rumors abounding on this Campus, and to explain to the student body why some things do not just happen on the suggestion of the student. Many students are laboring under the misapprehension that because something is not discussed and passed at the first meeting at which it is proposed, it means the Deans do not want it and are deliberately stalling. This is not so. The Deans suggest that students take each proposal that has been suggested and ask what has become of it. We suggest that until you have your facts straight it is best to withhold judgment - and especially refrain from rash promises to take over the Administration building! That cute little trick will only prove one thin,g: that students do not have the maturity to handle more responsibility! .. f We pause to wonder what would happen if Congress got frustrated in the process of trying to pass legislation and gave the President ultimatums. Suppose it threatened to take over the White House unless they were pacified? It has been remarked several times by students that the current proposals under consideration are Student Government's one last chance to accomplish things through proper channels. May we remind our childish peers that our student governing bodies are our only chance to accomplish those things we ask! Look at the current proposals one by one: 1. Un limited class cuts: Why didn't you look in the new Bulletin to see that the policy has been reworded to state that class attendance is "expected"? That's a far cry from " required." 2. Calendar changes: The proposal is to end the first semester and final exams by the Christmas break. However, the committee has problems to iron out before this can be put into effect. If the semester begins on September 2, what happens to the students who are denied summer jobs which stipulate .. that .. employment . must .. run through Labor Day? If the semester ends on December 23, students would be unable to take Christmas jobs. And if the second semester schedule is changed, it will be difficult to coordinate transfer students from other schools. These con siderations are all for the students, because frankly, the Administration and faculty want the calendar changed! 3. Mandatory oral final exams: How do they solve the dilemma of a prof with a large Lit. lecture trying to administer oral examinations? Aside from these academic proposals, there are social proposals under consideration: 1.. Parking: This constant dilemma was put into the hands of the students. It was suggested that a committee approach the parking cammission requesting special student rates. So far, no student action has been taken. 2. Open housing: This is the biggest thorn of all, because so many rumors allowed to develop. The proposal has not been killed or stalled. After its first pre. sentation at the December 23 Administration Council meeting, it was sent back to Student Government with a request for a further proposal on the governance of open housing. The revised proposal (which suggests sign-in sheets) was received by the Deans the Thursday before registration. Because their offices were literally overrun before, during, and registration by students like yourselves who were asking for help with schedule revision, special problems, or trying to get back into school, it was impossible for the Deans to touch the proposal. Are we so unreasonable that we expect them to take action during the most hectic days in any dean's schedule? Two other · proposals, off-campus housing and curfew revision, are also under consideration. Contrary to popular belief, they have not died in the dusty corners of someone's desk. They are the subjects of very lively discussion as these Administrators try to probe the pros and cons, and find the difficulties that may be encountered if and when they are put into effect. There is no need to place blame on anyone. Our student leaders have worked diligently to write and submit proposals, and have put in many hours WHY CONSIDER?

He has very nearly won. ·~ supplemented by many awards, he continues to be a student worthy of recognition here at Wilkes. Aside from holding the fine cumulative average of 2.94, Bill has served as vice-president of his Fresh.man Class, I:D .C. representative of Warner House for two years, and was chosen Youth of the Month in February, 1968 by the Optimists of the West Shore Harrisburg Area. Many people might feel his accomplishments stem from what they consider his inability to participate in physical activities. They could not be more wrong, for at just about the time Bill was removing his braces, he was learning to dance. On t)le advice of his speech therapist, Bill went to the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Harrisburg (where his therapist was taking !es~ sons) and showed the instructors at the studio some material his therapist had taught him. Having been sufficiently impressed with his ability, the studio offered him 25 free lessons which he readily accepted. Struggling at first, Bill gradually began proving himself to the point where the studio agreed to give him lessons as long as he showed up for them. He is now on his silver standard at the studio, and going strong. Having replaced therapy and learned enjoyment, Billy credits dancing with having "had as much of a mental effect . . . as it has a physical effect, because it has taught me how to meet people and get along with them." Meet him! It is a refreshing and rewarding experience. Q Born in Wilkes-Barre, Billy spent first nine years here before ving to Harrisburg.

To add to that, imes were also being committed . \ car ran into a utility pole, and ·ur people were injured. A numer of youths were making a public "sturbanc e ' by running through the treets. A car's windshield was ashed. But when the Christmas :arty was discovered at Miners !ills, they did not shrink from leir duty, but swarmed, guns at le ready, into the fray . The result: ~ hippy fr eaks were brought to istice. The fines and the police 1cord [which they will carry for the rest of their lives) should teach them a good lesson. As a member of this community, I feel the police deserve a pat on the back for their valiant efforts . With their help we may one day be able to get the cruds out of college, and in the prisons where they belong. And I stand beside the officer who slapped one of the scum around. If more parents followed his example, there would be less long-haired queers walking our beautiful city streets. It is my beilef that these few dupes have learned that we do not tolerate non-conformity in this valley, and will be better people for it. They have also learned that the impartiality of the Wilkes-Barre city courts is surpassed only by their m ercifulness . Sincerely yours, TommyYodo, Chairman, T.O.K. Reif Defends Kirby Grass To th e editors : Pause with me to shed a tear for the lawn which was beneath the Kirby Elm but which this fall sem ester has been vilely slain by members of Wilkes College betwe en the ages of 18 and 21 . Killed in cold blood by those who cry for Peace! Murdered by those who profess Love. Raped by those who want Beauty! Tromped to death by those who depend upon the oxygen given so freely by th e very blades of grass in the lawn! What a sad, sad example of man 's inhumanity to the environment! Hear th e cry of Stephani Mills, 22-year-old crusader against making more p eople to walk on more lawns, "Less motherhood and more brotherhood!" And listen to the wail of that well-known ecologist, POGO, "We have met the enemy and he is us." Happy New Year, C. B. Reif Program Study In Preparation Of Evaluation Page 3 on oth€U campus€s by Ron Jacobs The final stages of preparation for the case study to be conducted at the College April 12-15 are now in operation. Wilkes takes pride in being the only four-year liberal, non-denominational institution invited by the Middle States Association to participate in a case study in the spring of this year. Urilike an accreditation case study whose sole purpose is to evaluate a college, the type of case study to be conducted here concedes that the College is doing a commendable job in handling its problems, and is an educational effort to gain a better insight on how this is being accomplished. Three basic areas will be examined in the study. The first of these is the relationship of the administrative and faculty structure to curriculum innovation and interdisciplinary program planning. The second topic concerns the liberal arts core curriculum, its relevance to contemporary knowledge, and the contributions of the interdisciplinary course initiated at th e College (e.g., the environmental science program) . The final avenue of interest centers around the development of graduate programs at th e College based on the caliber of undergraduate curricula, and the importance of interinstitutional cooperation in graduate program formation . During the course of the case study, seminars will be held regarding these subjects. The College professes that the students are directly involved in these matters under circumspection, in that surely the decisions made will affect them in some way, that they should have a voice in the panel discussions along with the case study participants and faculty. This will be a precedent for future case studies since it will mark the first time that s tu dent panelists will enter in to discussions in the non-student affairs area. The Middle States Steering Committee is currently immersed in th e preparation of background papers. These papers explain th e programs of the college which are scheduled to be discussed and deal with why the programs were begun, how they op erate, and what results they have yielded to date. The case study participants will have these pap ers sent to th em prior to their visit, and they will s erve as excellent brie'fin g material so that discussions at the seminars can commence without d elay. Memb ers of the Steering Committee are George Elliot, Owen Faut, Benjamin Fiester , Francis Michelini, Ralph Rozelle, and students Dave Lombardi and Ross Piazza. By December 10 all d rafts of the background papers ha.d to b e submi tt ed to th e commi ttee. These were revi ewed by the members and on January 10 the pape rs came out of committee whence they are available to all for inspection. Copies are at th e library and students are invited to read them over and are encouraged to add their critical comments and make suggestions for possible r evision. Beginning February 10, the committee considers the suggestions made and th e papers are r ewritten . Finally on March 10, the pap ers are sent to th e case study participants. The overall schedule for these participants , besides including the s eminars, also encompasses review s essions, luncheons , and p eriods during which each participant mor e or less has a free rei gn and can met with any one of th e committees on campus. by George Pagliaro WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY students may soon find language requirements easie-r to cope with. Those students who are not language majors may elect Programmed French [later to include other languages) which will differ from regular French in emphasis, independent study and utilization of the language in the individual student's major field . In a time when students cry for more relevance in college curricula, WVU is making a fine attempt to provide relevant courses. In attempt to overcome what has come to b e called the "impersonal system" of the large universities, l'HE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN has formed a Student Counseling Office at its College of Literature, Science, and the Arts . It is an office which, in the words of Dr. James A. Shaw, assistant dean of th e college, is "a way of formalizing th e grapevine, of making it mor e visible and accessible to all literary college students." The office maintains "a loos e relationship with the faculty counseling offices in the hope that students will feel freer to talk about their problems with their peers, who know have the connections with th e faculty to try and alleviate them. " KNOX COLLEGE in Galesburg, Illinois, has established an Experimental College based on the concept that "learning should be exciting, that it should be a group activity, and that it should be unforced and pursued for its . own sake." Courses are offer ed fr ee of cost and they carry no credit. There are no grades . Class es may start and end at any tim e. They may meet an ywher e and th ey may di e from lack of interes t at any tim e. Surprisingly enough, th e courses the EC offers ar e not all "esoteric or artsy-craftsy," but include such valuable cours es as Italian and Midwest Indian cul ture. These courses are not offer ed in th e r egular KNOX curriculum. KNOX's EC may well be on th e road to interes ting the s tu den ts it teach es rath er than drilling th em in traditional te chniques . Students of the UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO recently gav e tan gible support to civil rights. Passing the measure by a vote of 1,070 to 230, the und ergraduat es have a greed to pay an extra $5 with their registration fees for the spring sem ester. The money will provid e funds for the Father John F. X. Connolly Minority Stud ent Scholarship Program. The $15,000 raised from the 3,000-plus stud ents at th e university will allow students of minority groups to attend school fully awar e th a t their fellow students ar e th e ones that wanted them th er e. I feel the changes that h ave b een cited on other campuses should p r ove one important thing to th e American college student : change for its own sake is me anin gless. Change with a constructive purpose is far more r ewarding than ch ang e which destroys and waits for ideas on how to rebuild.

Williams Poem By Williams Published; Manuscript Seeks Members In the past few years, four Wilkes students asociated with the Manuscript have received national recognition for their creative work. C. R. Williams, a senior political science major, is the latest of these . He has been notified that one of his poems has been accepted for publication in this year's National Col• lege Poetry Anthology. The accepted poem appears in this w ee k's Poetry Corner. Williams has been a member of the Manuscript for the past four years, and many of his poems h ave appeared in that literary work. Manuscript is currently accepting poetry, short stories, plays, artwork, and photography for this year's magazine. Deadline for submitting original works is March 1. Students interested in working with the Manuscript are encouraged to contact Anne Aimetti, or any member of the staff. Meetings are held weekly at 11 a.m. on Thursday, third floor of the Student Organization Building.

Sincerely, Pat Pisoneschi by Ron Jacobs Because of the actions of an unscrupulous minority of stud ents, a traditional 23-year-old policy of the Wilkes College ' library, a policy based on a total trust of the library us er, will imminently be dissolved. In the past there h ave never been any preventive measures installed, either of a human or mechanical sort, to combat those individuals who fla grantly remove books from the library without checking them out. There will, however, in th e n ear futur e, be automatic devices set up to avert such violations. The decision to remedy the present situation was one which was arrived at only after a considerable amount of conscientious deliberation. The faculty Library Committee together with the library staff have considered various deterrent systems and have sent memoranda to the Administration urging that something should definitely be done. Student Governm ent has also played an active role in advocating change. Representatives from various companies h ave arrived on campus and have presented their mechanical safeguard systems. Though each system differs somewhat, they are all based more or less on the same principle. Every book is chemi cally treated and mechanisms installed at the exits are able to detect those books which have n ot been checked out. These detection systems have their origin in department stores as a means of inhibiting shoplifters. In the field of library use, th ey are only in their infancy. Though each system has its inherent · flaws, they are all constantly being improved. The possibility of using human agents instead of mechanical apparati was also considered but later abandoned because of practical reasons. During the last 10 minutes of each hour an average of 60 students leave the library to go to their classes. Since every student would have to be checked, it would be virtually impossible for them all to arrive in class on time. A human agent system would call for the employm ent of two and one-h alf fulltime people, 14 hours a day, seven European Jobs Being Offered Brooks Thanked For Deed To the editors: library Book losses Continuing; Mechanical Help Now Being Sought NOTICE Poetry is a message, a whisper of secret dreams, or a mock.

The specific mechanical system which is eventually chosen will be permanently committed to. This is one of the primary reasons that extensive analysis of each method is taking place. Also, there will be a time lapse between adoption of a system and its initiation. This is attributed to the fact that each of the approximately 100,000 books in the library will have to be treated. Whatever particular system is decided up on, its cost will range from $10-$15,000 per year either directly or indirectly. The ex pense will b e footed by the students themselves. Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librarian, regrets that th e enactment of such an expe nsive meas ur e must be undertaken, because of what she terms a small minority of selfish students . She stated that the loss incurred by the library because of " disapp earing" books cannot be measured in actu a l doll ars, but rather in the inconveni ence which is caus ed. Often a student will remov e a book which he needs for a long-term ass ignment without ch eckin g it out, keep it until he has co mpl eted the assignment, and then surr eptitious ly return it several months later. Though no monetary lo ss has occurred, other s tu den ts who ma y have needed the book for th eir assignments have been unfairly -deprived and inconvenienced. Past ventures in which a day was Stud ents can work this summer in the forests of Germany, on co nstruction in Austria, on farms in Germany, Sweden and Denmark, on road construction in Norway, in industries in France and Germany, in hotels in Switzerland. These job s, as well as jobs in Ireland, England, France, Italy and Holland, are open by the co nsent of th e governments of these countries to American university students going to Europe next summer. For several years students mad e their way across the Atlantic • through A.E.S. Service to take part in the actual life of the people of these co untri es. The success of this projec t has ca used a great deal of enthusiastic interest and support both in America and Europe . Th e purpose of this program is to affor d the student an opportunity to get into living contact with the people and customs of Europe. In this way, a concrete effort can be made to learn something of the culture of Europe. In return for his or her work, the student will receive room and board, plus a wage .

Mrs. Vu· jica commented that the situation at the College is by no mean; unique. Book losses plague all Ii· braries ranging from private schools · to large universities, r~ gardless of the intricacy of the detection systems involved. Ultimate· ly, the ideal not to destroy anoth· er's property must be a part of a student's ethical code. Mrs. Vujica also pointed out thi many students have the rniscon· ception that because they cannot find a book they are looking for. the book must be already checked out. This is not always the case. The particular work may have been inadvert ently shelved in the wroni place. There is likewise the possi· bility that it may be found in one of the study carrells, since students the carrells rather than reshelre them. Perhaps the book is being r~ bound or is on reserve. Then of course, it could be that the library does have the sought· for book. In this eventuality, the library, through the interlibrarr loan program, can arrange to obtain the book or a similar one from an· other library. Hence, because of the numerous likelihoods as to wherei book may be, the most prudent procedure'"lo be taken when one can· not find a book is to check al th, desk.

"Of course," he added with a typical sneaky Irish grin, "the amazing thing will be that only staff members and their families will win, and all the money will be channeled back into our kitty!" It sounded a bit shady, so we vetoed that and Sally suggested a bake sale. We discovered a definite lack of culinary talent among the staff.

We alternately suggested selling Beacon subscriptions (and junked t idea because our feelings would be hurt if no one wanted to buy em), holding a dance, creating a babysitting agency, selling the old cons for rags, or framing them as souvenirs from the past.

An added inspiration was to rent our Beacon office for the rties so we could clean up both ways. That desperate measure was toed as disloyal to our fellow students.

The Colonels are now 6-7 on the campaign and are 3-6 in the MAC. With the Amazing Mets as world champion3 of baseball and al· tendance on the rise in the nation's pastime, ex-St. Louis star Curt Flood had to come around and spoil things by suing baseball. Specifically, he is seeking the abolishment of th e reserve clause in a player's contract which binds a player to the club with which he signs fo"r life. The club has the righ t to fire a player during the season or the off-season, trade him, or drop him to th e minor leagues. In short, the club has complete and sole contro l over a player for as long as he wishes to play in or· ganized baseball [the major and minor leagues). Mr. Flood wants the reserve clause abolished.

Maviak h as a lifetime card of 37 wins and three losses while Marfia has the same number of wins against six loss es. Coach Reese describes them as "the most dedicated wrestlers I've ever coached." Looking ahead to the remaining match es , Marfia commented, "We should h ave no problem tomorrow against Madison but East Stroudsburg should be a tough one. Either Andy (Matviak) or myself will be wrestling a national champion, so if we get by the first four divisions with wins we'll b e in pre tty good shape." Coach Reese ec hoed his captain's feelings: " I'm not worried about Millersvi ll e at all. " Flood has the backing of the Players As• sociation and has retained the services nf form er Supreme Court Justice Arthur Gold· berg. The owners, however, feel otherwise. They claim without the reserve clause baseball wou ld collapse. The purpose of the clause it to prevent a team from stockpiling the best ballplayers by offering higher sal· aries . The poorer clubs would then not be able to compete on an equal level. However, other sports, primarily football, do not have the reserve clause. Professional Pete Herbst football is currently enjoying its "Golden Years" with a substitute for the res erve clause. A football player has the right to "p lay out" his oneyear option and then sign with any club. This practice is severely lim· ited by Commissioner Pete Roz elle since the club with which the player decides to p lay is obligated to replace that player with another player of the same ability, or some reasonable facsimile. At $90,000 a year, Flood is probably the richest piece of property In don a uniform. But he has repeat edly claimed his is not a personal fight but rather for the benefit of all players, primarily those who aren't supe~ stars, those who ride the bench game after game with no opportunity to get a starting position. Flood is rebelling against a contract which aJ. lows a club to fir e a player at any time without notice. If it is during the off-season, then without pay. He can be ordered without notice to pick up his family and move to another city, although he receives a moving expenses allowance based on a 1957 moving scale. That is what Flood is rebelling against - the not-so-glamorous part of a ballplayer's life. And the Lords of Bas eball, as the owners are called, are doing nothing about it. The players want a modification of the reserve clause . Their demands follow somewhat these points: • The right of a player to be free to play out his option after a set num· ber of years a la pro football. • The right to negotiate after a set number of years with his original club. • The right to yearly salary increases which, if not met, would releasi the player to negotiate as a fr ee agent. • The right to have a contract for a specified number of years rather than for life . • The right to negotiate with other clubs , but with his original club being given the right to match any offer. • The right of arbitration of salary disputes. • The right to bring a lawyer or adviser to bargaining sessions with the general manager. • The right to be consulted, and with proper compensation, before I trade is completed. There they are. Rights which should be granted to ballplayers not because they are ballplayers but since they are human beings, not property. They are involved in a livelihood which should not allow their superiors to have tota l domination over them. I agree with Mr. Floodthe reserve clause should be modified and the Lords should not haYI the power that is th eirs whenever a pla yer signs a contract. If Flood's suit is not settled out of court, it will probably take 111 or three years before it comes up before a court. However, other people have tested the case in court five times before. That baseball is a but iness and that Organized Baseball is a monopoly has never been ii doubt. What has been questioned is whether or not it is the type of but iness monopoly that should be exem~t from Federal anti-trust laws. Al late as 1957, the Supreme Court ruled that only baseball was exempt from anti-trust legislation on the basis of a 1922 ruling which said bast ball was neither interstate in its essential nature nor "commerce" in the s ense of goods manufactured and sold . Curt Flood is willing to give up his mo st lucrative baseball ca to fight the Lords of Baseball. He has supporters and detractors. Bui is a most justifiable fight whereby the status quo, which clearly d not suit present conditions, will eventually bec ome just a memory. W will hopefully take its place is a set of rul es mor e legitimate and m reasonable. 118-Jay McGinley 126-'-An dy Matviak 134-Joh n Marfia 142-Tom Mo rris 150-Denn is Verzera 158-Ala n Zei ner 167-Gerry Wil lets 177- Rich Ceccoli 190-Ron Fritts Hwt-Leo Roan 3-2-0 5-0-0 7-0-0 3-1-0 3-0-0 6-0-0 5-1-0 4-2-0 5-2-0 5-1 -0 ( 3-2-0) (37-3-0) (3 7-6-0) ( 3-2-0) (24- 6-2) (12-3 -0) (24-5-1) (19-5-0) (20-5-2) ( 5-1-0) - ■corer age w it came a ~y whe Capti ,coring pulling II the t Center Kemp i litting 14.0 av avis ls i~ ker] the ounc is l pl er I im ( Ja Bi Ri Be H« Fr D2 Te N 0 TICE• MEN Senio r Mond ay-W ednesday 7 :30 - 9 :30 .c W i lk es -B ar re YMCA Sta r t s M o nday, Feb. 2 125 LEWIS - DUNCAN Sports center a nd trophy gal le ry 11 East Market Street, Wilkes-Barre HEADQUARTERS FOR COLLEGE CLOTHING �iday, January 30, 1970 aineymen oal For 00 Level THE BEACON Page 7 Bill Umbach Scores What Guard Jay Reimel Steals 8-Ball League Gets Underway Glen Arneson, director of the greatly expanded Intramural Basketball League, recently announced the schedule for 1970 competition which will feature 24 teams divided into four divisions.

He began his career at Montrose High School, Pa., and has since played on a winning team. Since -Jay donned a Wilkes uniform, the Raineymen have not had a losing season. Reimel is instrumental in the success of the team. His ball-hawking defense and sharp passing and dribbling on offense ignite the team as well as the crowd.

In these times of bad publicity for college students , it seems high time we give credit where credit is due. Let us salute those who bring honor and distinction to their alma mater. Though we feel it is by and large the majority who do so, this week seems an appropriate time to single out for credit those whose accomplishments and activities have placed them in the annual Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. Though such honors have too often been relegated to the level of raccoon coats, fraternities and school spirit in contemporary college circles, we feel these students have accomplished something of note. Perhaps it is because they have seen fit to give something back to their school, rather than accept and take whatever they can. They uphold the old-fashioned college princ ipl e that our education is only worthwhile when we can take what is offered and give it back to others.

It was recen!ly announced by Dr. Eugene S. Farley that \:'~Ike~ Co~lege will be one of three Pennsylvania colleges parhc1patmg m a case study conducted by Pennsylvania State University concerning institutional response to the dynamics of educational change. Bob Capin The study, entitled "Institutional Response of Four-Ye ar Lib eral Arts Colleges to Student Pressures for Change," is under the dir ection of Hans Flexner, associate professor and chairman of high er education, and H erbert Aurbach, associate professor of education and sociology. To help facilitat e the workings of this group, Dr. Farley appointed a committee at Wilkes. This committee is composed of: Robert Capin, chairman; George Ralston, Art Hoover, Jane Lampe, Dan Kopen, Drew Gubanich, and Tom Kelly. These people are working in conjunction with the Pennsylvania State University group to supply it with interviews, information, and published materials. Through cor responde nce betw ee n Mr. Flexner and Wilkes College, the background of the study, its pur- pose, and research procedures were learned. The research on the study began a t Wilkes with a visitation by these two men last Friday. The men collec ted information and published materials. They plan to return this spring to hav e interviews with faculty, s tud ents, and administrators. It is the fee ling of this group that the presen t un rest in hi gher education has many dimensions, where the most visible are student demonstrations and revolts . It is also felt that th ese manifestations are of a more fundamental and complex phenom ena in our society. Some people view these demonstrations as social trends and institutional inadequacies reflected in unim aginative educational programs. Moreover, the character and goals of these diss en ters vary from orderly to disru ptive tact ics, to a b eli ef that a free uni versity is the answer to where there can be no free univ ersi ty in an unfree society. The background report to the case study also points out that where individual colleges and un iversities appear to have similar external a nd internal problems, their re actions to these problems are markedly different. On one hand, many of th e institutions cons id er thes e people as part of the problem of a crisis wh er e others consider students the vital se gmen t of American high er education. It was also lea rned that th e way individual institutions r espond to change is dep end ent upon a number of interrelated factors. On e is the attitudes, ideas and commitments of st ud ents, of faculty and of administrative officers , an d of (Continued on Page 8) State Senate to Hear Michelini on Tax Exempt Issue The following is an excerpt from tistimony given by Dr. Francis J. Michelini yesterday before the State Senate subcommittee hearings on real estate assessments and tax exemptions . As students may know, there has oeen considerable controversy in !he local community and th e Commonwealth of Pennsylvania co ncerning the taxation of hospitals, educatio nal institutions, and present tax -exe mpt properties held by churches and charitable organizations. Local municipalities faced with serio us problems of financing their local government servic es are limi!ed in ~heir legal powers to tax. Few resources are available to them other than real property tax which provides the bulk of tax income by local governments supplemen ted by various other resources such as wag e taxes , occupational privilege taxes, gross receipts business taxes, etc. Since real property as the tax base of a community co nstitutes the bulk of local tax income, exemptions from such taxes are coming in for increasing criticism. Recent court cases in Pittsburgh have struck down the challenge to such exemptions by declaring unconstitutional an ordinance that would hav e permitted the cit y of Pittsburgh to levy a tax on the gross receipts of hospitals. The court held that such an ordinance was not legal und er th e prese nt Pennsylvania State Constitution an d in the statute currently sup plementing the Constitution and providing for tax exe mption, the General County Assessment Law of House of Representatives to change the administration of real es tate tax assessments and tax exemption s. A special committee of the House of Representatives is prese ntly hearing testimony from interested parties relative to this problem. Hearings were held in Pittsburgh in th e middle of January. Additional hearings were scheduled for Philadelphia this past week, and it is expected that h earings will be held in Harrisburg Feb . 5 and 6. I have been designated as the spokesman for the Northeastern Pennsylvania Indep endent Colleges , a group composed of Wilkes, King's, Misericordia, Scranton, Marywood and Keystone Juni or College, to present the position of our lo cal institutions relative to the proposed legislation. dens. Under the first or the "p ubli c burden " standard, the exemption is justified on the ground that the organizatio n is assuming a public service which the government would hav e to ass ume if the exempt organization did not. Under the second , or " humanitarian" standard, the exemption is ju stified on the gro und that humanitarian or sociall y desirable activities which the organization is performing should be encourag ed, even though the gove rnm ent would not oth erwise be forced to assume the burden of carrying out the activities.

To the Editors: Acknowledqinq Students Lately, current terms heard on our campus include "cliches" such as misinformation , un informed , credibility gap, and communication gap. "Cliches" only in the respect that they have been heard so often and the re has been little attempt if any to correct these problems . For undoubtedly, they are problems . The students were told last week that they must be a little more patient. Patience is a virtue. Patience is a good thing, this is not to be disputed. But, many students should' stop being reminded that they should be patient and should be congratulated because they are. Here we have a student body of educated, industrious, free-thinking students who are writing proposals for things that many schools take for granted. Yet, we must be patient and be satisfiied to remain stagnant. Students show respect for their Administrators because they use "proper channels" and have been patient. They are willing to understand that the Administrators have other things to do besides consider a trivial open -housing proposal. Yet, the fact remains that talk of openhousing began last February, not this February, and that proposals have been submitted since October of this year. Students are told that they are disinterested in the "happenings" at Wilkes College. Many of them work, however, or have other outside activities. On the other hand, how many times have the Administrators visited the Com mons to have lunch and discuss things with students, or stop in a dormitory, or attend a class meeting? Students are showing their interest in the school by writing constructive proposals and waiting. And the Administrators are showing their interest by reading the proposals and making suggestions. Yet, the students must be patient. And the credibility, communication gap, misinformation, uninformed element still exists at Wilkes. What can be done? Maybe the time has come to acknowledge the students . With Manv Thanks The Beacon staff experienced one of journalism's worst nightmares last Mon day afternoon when we were informed by the printers that our copy had been lost or stolen. After putting in many long hours Sun day afternoon and evening, the realization that everything is gone causes a moment of sheer panic and despair. It is to the credit of a dedicated staff that ou r editors did not pause to ask questions which would waste time. Feeling as if we were putting out a daily edition , we plunged in to do again the entire issue. Mary Kazmierchak, Marlene Augustine, Mary Covine, Hedy Wrightson, George Pagliaro, and Pete Herbst all re-wrote their stories , then copyread and headlined them. Ronnie Lustig came up with new ad layouts, and Nancy Tubbs and Linda De Vaul efficiently typed everything that was thrown at them. Roy Hollabaugh and Caleb McKenzie trudged through the pouring rain to bring us rough drafts of their stories. George, Nancy, and Sally Donoho lugged heavy typewriters to the office (in the same pouring· rain) so that more people could type at one time. Mr. Moran, our advisor, joined in to type stories, help with headlines and supervise hectic page lay-outs . He cancelled his night class to leave his students free to help in the office - and Judy Tobin, one of his students who has not been a member of our staff, offered to come down to help out , rather than take advantage of the unexpected holiday from class. And so that we would not be famished, our advisor brought us some very welcomed salami sandwiches and cokes! But the help did not end there . We also want to acknowledge the help of Miss Lampe, who graciously called the girls' housemothers to arrange late curfews. Denny Brew and David Hoffman came down to see if there was anything two inexperienced friends could do to help us. Tom Grant offered us moral support something we needed at that point as much as we needed quick headlines. Jay Goldstein informed us that the Student Government coffee-pot was free for our use if we found it hard to keep awake. Later Jay and Dr. Michelini came to the office with doughnuts and milk. All this sounds small on paper - but in the face of disaster, it's heartwarming to know that a good-neighbor policy does exist. We are proud to have such a loyal staff and friends. With many thanks, this issue is dedicated to them . Due to the vain attempts of concerned students who have been ing to achieve some progress in changing the present grading system a pass-fail system, I would like to offer an alternate suggestion. would be along the same lines as the present one, with the excep that instead of flat 2's or 3's, etc., students would be given the co grades they earned in that semester's tests, which would be an extension of our system . ~t Since teachers usually mark tests on percentages or by other means such as 3.3 or 2.7, I think this practice should be carried out in computing the final averages and cumulative averages. For example, a student who receives grades of 2, 2, 3, 2, and 2 in one semester's courses in the present system would receive a final ave rage of 2.2 for that semester. These grades show no indication of the true capabilities and, above all, the true accomplishments of the student. I suggest that teachers give th e student the exact grade he receives, that is, with reference to the previously mentioned marks, 2.4, 2.5, 3.5, · 2.7, a nd 2.7. These grades average to 2.76, which is the more co rrect average of the student's work, rather than the 2.2 he would receive under the system now in effect. When a student receives a 2 or a 3 in a course, it does not show whether it was a high or low C or B. Under my suggested system, this would be indicated. This system would give students a better chance in their academic careers in which so much emphasis is placed on grades , instead of degrading their accomplishments as has been done. Perhaps this is why it has not been tried. It may be that students are not supposed to have a fair chance and receive what they deserve and actually do get even though their official grades don't show it. But eve n though it may be fair, and it would · give everyone a better chance of improving their academic standing, I think it should be tried. · tleacclf J [ccncrnic P,-c,nptJ j,.ate ~t(ltt To the Editors: I am writing this letter in re to the Beacon's financial status. cording to previously pub · figures, Student Government ted the Beacon $11,500 for the l 1970 school year.

Now, I realize that most dedicated American college students recoil in horror and disclaim any knowledge of such a dreadful thing! But for those of yo u who are willing to relax principles in the interests of a good grade, I am passing alon g some time-honored techniques. The first step in the process begins with your note-taking techniques. To really impress a prof, I suggest that you sit in the front of the lec ture hall diligently writing away - to demonstrate graphically that you r ealize the value of the words of wisdom popping out of his mouth . He need never know that you have just completed a letter to dear Aunt Mildred! All h e knows is that you have been writing frantically, covering reams of paper. This techn ique can be taken a step further. When the last bell has rung, pause and write a few more hurried lines. The prof will notice you sitting there trying to put down those last few words he rushed to say in those last 30 seconds. Maureen Klaproth Another approach that always se ems to work, is to ask questions. However, it is best to realize that this is more delicate ground. In asking a question ,- you are always taking a chance that the prof won't know the answer. When this nightmare occurs, you can be sure h e will feel embarrassed. Your grade will go down in dir ect proportion to his embarrassment. Now, there are several ways to assure that such moments do not occur. First of all , find out if yo ur prof has p ublished anything. If so, run out and find a dusty copy somewhere, and compose your qu es tion from a point he made. This assures you that he is a t leas t vagu ely fa miliar with the material. (Only vaguely, because profs are notoriously absent-minded , even about their own stuff!) If you want a few extra points adde d on to your extra points, make certain you m en tion his work of gen ius in front of the class . Yo ur grade will go up in direct proportion to the insecurity of his ego . Exhibit At Conyngham The student exhibit now on display at the Conyngham Annex Gallery is composed of work don e by first year oil painting students. Th e exhibit generally shows a lack of individual techn,i que; but some paintings seem to succeed in dev eloping estab li sh ed styles. The overabundance of "still life ", is und erstandabl e in a first year course, and not as totally regretable as their constant appearances in Senior exhibits. Some of the paintings have a certain life and knowl e dg e of the m edi a which th e artist has succeeded in genera ting. "Charity," by Clarence Hoffner has a fine quality of d esign , and does an admirable job of resurrecting a "pop art" theme. Another painting, "A ft er Dark" , by Maria Grizzuti, shows a firm knowledge of co lor. The choice of pigments and their application show a definitely promising direc tion for Miss Grizzuti's work. It is the opinio n of this reviewer that this show shows an exce llent beginning for th e students; but it is hoped that their work will continue.Th at way it ma y again b e reviewed for personal statement as well as technical awareness. Nominations Held; Freshmen Officers Will Be Elected Fres hman Class nominations You'll probab ly find that he hasn't publish ed.

Th e betHarry Davis. ter your concen tra tion , the better the impression you mak e as a consci entio us student. Th ere is another factor involved in seeing teac h ers. If you ar e a girl, th e height of yom grade may rise in direct proportion to the h eight of yo ur skirt. If yo u're a m a le of th e species, you'll probably find better fock dealing with women teachers . It doesn 't take a very de ep un derstanding of fe mi nine nature to know that the dear old spinster you hav e for English wi ll listen more kindly to your pleas for fairer marking, if you first notic e ho w fl attering her ha irdo is . And if you must go to a male teac her , don't appear as a chain-smokin g, long-haired, bell-bottomed arrogant hippie, unless of course, he is! Now suppos e it is the end of the semester and yo u hav e faithfully followed th e tec hniqu es d esc ribed above , an d hav e thrown in a fe w of yo ur own ideas for good m easure. You flunked out anyway. [That's one of th e funny things about brownie-ing te chniqu es - th ey rare ly work if you happen to fa il every exa m.) But don 't despair - yo u sti ll hav e seve ral alternatives left. You can try a last-minu te plea - telling the prof how yo ur grandmother died (unless yo u a lread y told h im that when you didn't ha nd in your term paper], how your brother just join ed a hippi e commune in New Mexico, how your draft numb er is 1 2, and you've be en trying to find yourself among all the irreleva n ces of college. [And hope the prof did not find you at the basketball game last night!] If that do es not work, yo u still have several alternatives. You can commit hari- kari, like a Japanes e student, to preserve your honor. If you 're not Japan ese, yo u can always join yo ur brother in th e hippie co mmun e in New Mexico. You can join VISTA and do yo u r "thing" for mankind. (But don't lose yo ur h ead and jo in the Marines - that's what you came to college to avoid, remember?) If VISTA's not yo ur bag, yo u can always marry money, or at least someone who has mon ey. Now I know you are an all-American, clean-l iving, fr eck le-face d co llege student, who wouldn ' t dream of marryin g for anything but love. My sympathies are with you, but don't you think maybe yo u could learn to lov e money? □ rJ□ O □□□ OO OD O OO □ OIJ □□□□□ CTCCOCO □□□ C'D□□ oo □ orJ □ OCODO O PENSAK'S DELICATESSEN WE MAKE SANDWICHES AND PLATTERS TO GO!

Rather than laud or dispraise the costumes, camera angles, direc to rs, and players, and compare their current styles with the ir previous ones ; I pause to remind you that Nixon Agnew & Co . are still playing games with our lives. The lesser but far more important of the two films presented was a Vietnam documentary. It offered no opinions on the war; it simply prese n ted the war, whi ch this writer found to be a glimpse of cynical inhumanity, beyond comm ent. It r eminded m e of a Manuscript story from last year written by Jack Jar ecki, Editor of the Wyoming Valley Fre e Press . His story was one of war. It begins and ends with id entically worded paragraphs . Similiarly, th e scenes from the docum entary could hav e been shown in any order without making any diff erence . One could view almost first hand, the efficiency of the med-eva c crews. The Pentago n spokesmen, in the ir endless swaggering are quick to po int out that the sold ier wounded in Vi et nam can often b e on an operating table quicker than h e could if h e were wounded in the states. It is unkind, how ever, to ask them wh y Americans are getting wounded in Vietnam at all. The movi e also shows the human e side [th e "rea l" side) of our fighting men. Administering first aid at refugee camps, (again, unkind to ask why eve n there are refug ee camps,) being good guys with the civilians, and even h_elping to d eliver a bab y, something which makes one wonder how the people of Southeast Asia ever managed to have babies without us. Most soldiers believe they are in Vi e tnam through no fault of their own, and they know that they aren 't rea ll y bad guys, they unfortunately are made to by powers beyond their co n trol, look that way. Overall the movie brings to light what can be best summed up b y M,1ry McCarthy 's suggestive line of United States involveme n t when 3h e d escribed it as "Uncle Sam w ith candy in his pockets . .. " A pair of amusing mini-operas were performed last Friday night at the Wilkes College Center for th e Performing Arts. The operas proved to be full of hijinks and humor. The first of the two offerings was a brief operatic spoof written by modern composer Gail Kubick, "Bosto n Bak ed Beans ". This opera had its debut at the New York Mu· seum of Modern Art in 1952. Since it is the story of Clementine and how she "got her man, " it employs the song "Clementine" as its main theme, bu t into the score are interpolated strains of melodies from sources such as Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony," Rimsky-Korsakov'1 " Scheherazade" and the song "Mo onlight Serenade ." Directed by Richard Chapline of the Wilkes Music Department, the opera employed a small orchestra conducted b y Richard Probert an starred Rita Singer in the role o Clementine and Rob ert Graham· the role of John Harvard. The second piece, quieter style, ne vertheless gave one som thing to think about. Entitl "Many Moons" by Celius Doughe ty, adapted from material by Jam Thurber, it tells of Princess Leno (Arlene Kuni gel], who wants h father the ki ng [Dennis English), t give her the moon.

M. Augustine Pretty Student From Iran Adjusting to Campus Lile On one hand she looks like any other pretty college coed running around in m ini-skirts , cramming for chemistry exams, primping her hairdo for a photo, and joining gabfests with her dorm-sisters . On the other hand, she is a petite Moslem who has traveled halfway around the world - yet still looks as if she would fit into the Arabian Nights. Actually Flora Najafi fits somewhere in the middle as East meets West. The 19-year-old freshman calls Tehran, Iran, home. Already she has spent a year in the United States, so she is at ease in her student rol e, and is candid in h er opinions on both Iran and h er temporarily adopted home . She came to the U.S. last February, and spent the first months in Washington D.C. studying English. Her first semester at Wilkes, she lived with the Clements Solinsky family in Wilkes-Barre. Their daughter, Deborah, is a student at the college. In Janu ary, she moved into Emerson Hall, in order to experience college dormitory life. A conversation with Flora may cover many topics, for her command of English is excellen t. She explains that she studied English in high school for six years, but that she did not take the subject too seriously at the time. However, it is now a matter of course for h er to pick up an English novel to read. Father and Sons by Turgenev is her most recent favorite, but she confesses that she has always favored novels by French and Russian authors. She has settled into the American pattern of life easily, but admits that some things take time to get used to. Her father is a Suprem e Court judge in T ehran . Her tightly knit family consisted of her parents, a brother, Faade, 10, and a sister, Farideh, 21, who is now in London stud ying nursing. Flora finds the family circle weaker in this country. She was amazed to hear children -arg uin g with their parents, and living their own lives. "And here you tell things to your best friend . At home we talk to our mother or sister about everything," she added. She quickly dispels many of our antiquated ideas abou t Iran. "There are not camels walking down the streets of our city," she tells listeners. "Your co n ceptions of Persia are outdated - we are a modern country." According to Flora, the main differences between citi es are ones in architecture. Iranian buildings usually have flat roofs and are built of stone or cement rather than NOTICE New Beacon office hours have een schedul ed and will be Monays 11 a.m. - 3 p .m., Tuesdays 1 a.m. - 3 p.m. and Wednesdays at 11 a.m. Any questions and phone calls will be answered during these times.

She finds Americans in general very friendly and helpful. "You hav e to realize that there are good people and bad people everywh ere, and you ca nno t judge a whole nationality on the basis of just a few people. Americans go out of their way to help you - and they are very curious about other people's customs," she went on. "When I first came to Wilkes, I wanted to wear a sign saying who I was and where I came from, becaus e I would have to answ er the same questions ten times a day. But then I realize that people were just being nice to me." Flora is one dorm student who has no complaints about the "caf" food. She exp lains that Americans are used to home-cooked food, and, :.J □ fl □ :J □ 0 □ □ □□ -1 :J'.J:J O 'J O □ Cl:J □O '.J:J □ O:JJ"J7 r:J'.JQ 7:J :J'.J'.J □□ m:m □ □ : I PIZZA CASA 24 PUBLIC SQUARE, WILKES-BARRE Restaurant-Cocktail Lounge Spoclallzln1 In Home Made lt1ll1n Foods . . therefore, are fussier about the fare . "But it is all new to me, so I like it!", sh e said. She enj oys American films, and lists Romeo and Juliet as her favorite - though she had difficulty understanding the Shakesp earean dialogue. But her favorite actor is French, not American - Alain DeIon. Dating customs are different in Iran. Girls usually date men who are at least ten years older, because a man is expected to b e established in business before he considers marriage. It is common for 18 yearold girls to marry men of 30 or 35 . Flora is a Moslem, and finds some hum or in the diffi culties involved in trying to practice her r eligion in this country. Follow ers of Islam are expected to pray fiv e times a day, and must be clean from head to toe to do so. During the sacred month of Ramadan, Moslems must fast from sunrise to sunset. Two days during this mon th are mo st important, but Flora b ecame ill trying to follow her customs in her new environm ent. Flora is not sure what th e futur e holds. If she is successful with her chemistry major, she would like to pursue a master's degree. In any event, she will re turn to Iran fill e d with sto ries about her years a t Wilkes College. oo □o □ o □ o □□□□□ o □□□a o □ o □oo□□ oo □ oo □□□□□o □□□ □□□ □□o □o PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS o □o □□□□□□□□□□□□□□ :::ia □□ oo::,::,oa □□□□ ::i □ o □□□□:,:iooc1c1r1_;J ~1 Ravioli ' s Gnocchi 's Macaron i • Home Made Chill, Lasagna Spaghetti Trips Wilkes-Barre Phone 824-3367 125 Y ears of Pharmacy Greeting Cards □□ □ □ a□ o □ a □ u □a □ uo o uouu rJ :J □ □ l 1u □□ u □□ □ □ □ u □ o u o oou □□□□ o Contemporary Cards BOOKS - PAPERBACKS & GIFTS RECORDS - 22 Public Square Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18701 Dial : 823-1155 Now Two Locations The young look of .. misterJ~ GATEWAY SHOPPING CENTER EDWARDSVILLE, PA.

Al Zelner, wrestling at 167, recorded his seventh pin in eight tries as he stacked up FDU's Dom Colaluce in 3 :33. He only needs one more fall to tie the all-time mark set during the 1967-68 season by Andy Matviak. Zelner has a perfect 8-0 record on the year. Jay McGinley opened the proceedings for the Wilkesmen with a 10-2 decision in the 118-pound match. Bill Lukridge followed with a forfeit in the 126-pound class. Mativak got back on the winning track in the 132-pound bout as he rode to an easy 11-4 victory over Skip Moran. The bout was tied at 0-0 going into the final period. The Wilkes co-captain lost a heartbreaker in his last outing on Wednesday, losing a close 7-6 match to Oswego's defending NCAA College Division champion John Walters. John Marfit notched his sixth pin of the year, unsettling his FDU foe in 1 :45. It was his third first-period pin of the year and pushed his seasonal log to 8-0-1. Verzera followed with a 7-1 decision in the 150-pound class . Ceccoli upped his winter dual log to 6-2 in the 177-pound bout as he clamped Al Orzechowski in 4:47.

Highly rated Wagner came into town Wednesday and got just what they expected for a little over a half as the Colonels made several glaring mistakes, shot poorly, and showed little enthusiasm on the boardt Led by record shattering forward Ray Hodge, the Seahawks pressed Wilkes all over the floor and converted several Colonel turnovers into easy layups . Coach Rainey went to his bench early and often in an attempt to find a combination that would stem the tide, but his moves proved unsuccessful as the Seahawks coasted to a 56-32 halftime lead. The second half started out as a continuation of the first as the Seahawks easily solved Wilkes' full court press and increased their lead to 30 points early in the vespor session. All of a sudden, the Colonels began putting it all together. With Jay Reimel and Billy Crick harassing opposing ballhandlers, Wally Umbach finding the range and Herb Kemp and Rich Davis doing yeoman work on the boards the Colonels began to diminish the Wagner lead. The Seahawks began to panic and subsequently began to throw the ball away, miss easy appearance. shots, and foul up defensive assignments. The result was that with just eight minutes gone in the second half, the Colonels were back in the two foul shots. Kemp was the twenties with 21 points on ball game .

The NCAA should use its powers for the protec tion of the young men who are playing collegiate sports. It should protect them from colleges that step out of line, from recru iters who step out of bounds, and from unscrupulous promoters, eager for a piece of the actio n. But the NCAA's recent act ions against Yale University are completely indefensible. The NCAA put Yale on probation for two years because it permitted Jack Langer, a basketball player, to participate in the Maccabiah Games in Tel Aviv last summer. Then when Langer was declared ineligible this fall, Yale continued to us e him in basketball games. Consider this . The NCAA p ermi tted athChuck Lengle letes to participate in the Macc abiah Games, which are sort of a Jewish Olympics. Only basketball was singled out as ineligible for American participants . Yale, a school of high principles, decided to ignore the NCAA ban and allowed Langer to go. This done, the school felt it could not in all honesty forbid the young man to play with the Eli cagers this year. The Maccabiah Gamers were sanctioned by the Internation al Olympic Committee, higher sanction than the NCAA co uld give an yway. The Eastern College Athletic Conferenc e, an eastern arm of the NCAA and the largest conference in the country, was the first to put pressure on Yale. The ECAC is large enough to embra ce sc hools like Penn State and the Ivy League schools along with the likes of W,i._lkes, Scranton, East Stroudsburg and most of the state colleges and Middle Atlantic Conference Schools. The ECAC backed down from its pressure on Yale but the NCAA lowered the boom. The ECAC is still considering action . Ordinarily, probation would be relatively meaningless to an Ivy League school. Probation means a school can't participate in national championships. The Ivies haven't been too deadly in mo st national championships. BUT, Yale has one of the finest swimming teams in the land and has enjoyed this success for many years . The Elis always rank among the top five in national swim competition. Now . becaus e of the NCAA ruling, they can 't compete. Yale was wrong only in defying an irrational and indefensible NCAA edict. Should the colleges and the athletes be able to protest. such edicts? Perhaps · it is tim e for a complete overhaul of the NCAA's executive board . The NCAA exists for its members. If schools sho uld start to drop away, the NCAA would collapse. As the fight continues, the local colleges may be called upon to take a stand, either in the ECAC or the NCAA . We urge them, Wilkes, King 's, Scranton, and the like, to support Yale and the Ivy League position on this. Any less would make them no better than the NCAA. In fact, the three local schools, acting in concert, co ul d start a mov ement within the ECAC or the NCAA that co uld have the probation rescinded . The NCAA should not be permitted to take its squabble with the AAU this far. Ordinarily, we fee l government intervention in athletics is a bunch of nonsense stirred up by a pu blicity-conscious co ngressma n. But thi s time, if the colleges fail to act on their own behalf, a congressional investigation, already called for, is in order. The University of Texas rece'ntly announced that Jimmy Stre e t, star quarterback for the Longhorns, has dropped all his co urses. This action was announced six days prior to finals. "He was so far beh ind in his work he felt he had not done justice to them," said Lan Hewlett, intercollegiate athletics counselor who is known better as the Longhorns' "brain coach ." Hewlett a lso acknowledged that "he has a speaking enga ge ment nearly every night." Street said he had "about a C-plus average going into th e fall semes ter. He was afraid that being behind in his work mi ght ca us e him to "mess up" on a final and ruin his chance to play baseball. Hewlett said Street has statem ents on file with us from all four of his teachers that at the time of h is withdrawal he was passing. The courses Street dr opped were in accounting, insurance , real esta te, and statistics. Since Street was PROBABLY receiving financial aid in so me form or another, we wonder if this makes the crack signal-caller a "p-r ofessional" by today's standards . If this is what is necessary to make a grid team number one in th e nation , they can have it . . . lock, stock, and barrel! * * * * * The Sunday Independent's eastern collegiate wrestling poll has placed the Colonel matmen ninth behind such schools as Navy, Penn State, and Army.

As region al leaders sought to attract modern industries, they were made aware that new technological industries depended upon education. Recognizing that sound educa tional institutions contribute to the creation and maintenance of a vi able, vigorous and progressive community, industrial leaders of the region have encouraged the growth of their existing colleges. In consequence of their support offered by personal friends and industrial leaders, the six independent colleges of Northeastern Pennsylvania have enlarged their services and improved their work. They have received much from their friends and have contributed much to the regional renaissance. They have enriched the area by their cultural, practical and academic in fluences.

A second avenue 'that might be explored is some reimbursement by the State to local municipalities for real estate assessments lost fo r tax purposes by virtue of their exemp· tion, yet providing services of bene· fit to the State. For example, utili· ties now pay taxes on their gross receipts. These taxes are placed upon gross receipts rather than upon property because utilities serve th e people of a vast area in many municipalities. Unfortunately, these taxes are not shared with the mu· nicipalities as they should be. The liquid fuels tax is a tax on gasoline and fuels used by motor vehicles in the Commonwealth and is shared with communities to assist in the maintenance of roads that traverse these local communities and use their land space.
