Their current tour to several states is being made under the auspices of the Association of American Colleges' Arts Program. The ensemble draws on a repertory of over five centuries of music from the courts and churches of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque. All members of the consort have versatile backgrounds that include not only mastery of their unusual instruments, but extensive study of the history of these periods and their performance practices. Joan Summers (soprano) began her career in her native Scotland, where she graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and took part in the Glyndebourne and Edinburgh Festivals. Miss Summers has also performed with the Washington Opera Waverly Consort Vol. XXIV, No. 5 WILKES COLLEGE CAMPUS NEWSPAPER Society, the Chatauqua Festival, the American Opera Theatre Company and the Metropolitan Opera Studio. Constantine Cassolas (tenor), born in New York City, is presently a faculty member of the City College of New York music department . He has toured as solo recitalist and with the Lyric Quartet. In television he has also appeared on Camera Three and the Bell Telephone Hour. A graduate of the University of Michigan, Kay Jaffee (recorder, rauschpfeife, portative organ) continued her study of music at New York University, where she is presently a doctoral candidate in musicology. A free-lance writer on music subjects, she was formerly literary editor for Columbia Masterworks. Originally from Seattle, Washington, Sally Logemann (Baroque oboe, shawm, krummhorn, kortholt) graduated ' from the Manhattan School of Music and received a master's degree from New York University.

Faculty Opens Seminar The first in a series of eight seminars by members of the Wilkes College faculty was held recently in the lounge of the Center for the Performing Arts. The Seminars included a wide variety of topics and are open to the college family and their guests. The opening session was a talk by Dr. Charles B. Reif, head of the Biology Department at Wilkes, on "New Knowledge, New Questions, New Implications in Biology." The commentator was Dr. Reed D. Acheson and the moderator was Dr. Stanko Vuiica. Dr. Vujica, regarded as the father and organizer of the Wilkes Faculty Seminar, served as chairman, assisted by James J. Bohning, Alvan Bruch, Robert DeYoung, Stanley Gutin, Eugene L. Hammer, Joseph H. Kanner, Charles B. Reif, Bing"K. Wong. This year the seminar has a slightly different format which, it is hoped, will result in even more interesting and lively meetings.

By Auerbach And Kubricki by Mary Covine Once again, Howie Tune, president of Student Government tabled discussion on exact voting procedure for all college referendums in a recent Student Government meeting.

The general concensus of the �Page 2 October 7, 1971 THE BEACON Editorially Speaking Relevant Learning A- Place To Study? The fall semester has gotten into full swing and along with it have come the usual complaints about classes and professors. We should never remain completely satisfied with the current situation, for the moment that we do, we reach a point of stagnation. Before criticizing the current pos1t1on, there are a number of points to be considered by each student. If any student feels that he is not getting anything out of a particular course,_ he should ask himself the questions just what is he putting into the course, and just what does he expect to get out of the P,articular course. Classes are not merely a place to sit and be entertained. They are a place for the exchange of ideas and an opportunity to challenge the facts and beliefs of others. Becoming a "grade-grubber" is not the right solution -either. Grades are an intricate part of any college career, but if they dominate so as to exclude any other form of learning, their position deteriorates. Orie of the most essentia l parts of education, and one that is often overlooked, is the individual exchange of ideas and knowledge between professor and student. Students should keep in mind that their professors are human and reachable. The minority of professors who skirt away from their students are simply not worth the bother. Wilkes ·is not a Utopia for higher learning. Responsibility for learning, which once rested with the teacher in high school, is now the r~sponsibility of the student. What a course means to him and what he gets out of that course are largely determined by the attitude which he assumes and what he wants to get out of the course. The recently suggested Student Evaluation system of courses is a step in the right d irection , assuming that the students will also do part of the work, by taking a genuine interest in these courses. Improvement and change have a very definite place in any institution of higher learning, but they have to be consistently carried out and taken seriously by each student. The problem of excessive noise in the library was brought up at a recent Student Life Committee meeting . Unlike many of the issues which the committee discusses, this condition has been brought about by students and can only be solved by students. First, the committee discussed various reasons for the noise, and concluded that perhaps it is due to the fact that there has never been a time when the library has been quiet. When new students come they find the library is as good a place as any for loud discussions, joke-telling sessions, and even· (yes, this has happened) football games. The committee then discussed possible measures to solve the problem. The obvious and easiest answer is of course to ask students who are creating a disturbance to be quiet. (But if you have been in the library and done just that, you know it doesn't work.) The next step, and perhaps one that should have been employed some time ago, is to ask students who are creating a disturbance to leave. It is apparent to anyone who frequents the library that some disciplinary measure is needed. But this leads us to a sincere question: Why? If you have visited other college libraries, you will find that most qf them lack our problem. The Wilkes College librarians object to playing the role of library police, although order in the library should be one of their ocncerns. If discipline is necessary, let us use discipline. But as students, shouldn't we ask ourselves whether the whole problem couldn't be solved more simply if we were willing to do something about it ourselves? The library is a place of study as well as a place to exchange ideas and views. But there are seminar rooms for group discussion. And if necessary, why couldn't the fourth floor be made available for students who wish to study together? \ Perhaps the library could inititate some sort of disciplinary system to maintain order. But the final answer is still up to the students. Is the library to be a place of academic st udy, or is it to remain a place for social gatherings? viewg~t UNIFORM UNIFORMS by Tony Nauroth I was all prepared to write a rousing viewpoint which would have won applause from all those who disapprove of wearing genuine, original , and official Wilkes gym suits_But then I had to go and get_the _facts! _S o before you run out and burn your gym suits in mass demonstration , lend thine eyes toward this stimulating dialogue between myself and the head of the physical education department, Mr. John Reese .

That's a lot of problems for only 8.4 million U.S. college students to solve. And since eduation almost always has meant fighting for causes as well as - or instead of - grades, it's no wonder that in-depth disillusionment has draped itself over unsuspecting college students. The above problems all are maladies that students themselves didn't even create. The philosophy in recent years has been that the world has been bent, folded, mutilated . And stapled. For about the last ten years, students thought it was their responsibility to un-fold, un-mutilate, and re-staple the parts back together again. Now it's the dawning of a new era. Evolution of revolution. Sit-ins, teach-ins, riots , confrontations, bombings, moratoriums, rallies and strikes now are mere memories of the Sixties. After seven years of disoriented student disruptions , the Seventies breezed in. And with them , the War continued and we demonstrated. ... and we continued to demonstrate vehemently for and against what we did and didn't believe in . And the nation listened. Not to the message of the student protests, but only to the message of the medium - the screaming headline, the loud newscast, the acrimonious editorial about the student protests. And then along came Now. A feeling of futility has set in, bred out of frustration and confusion. Last academic year was a prophetic indication of this: campuses were calmer. An occasional rally. An occasional march. But quieter. · Why the change? The problems still are there , but our tactics have changed , if not vanished , according to Drew Olim , a National Student Association senior staff member. Olim said he sees definite symptoms of "withdrawal , defeatism , lack of direction and dropping out." He said he sees two possible reasons .for all this. "Money is gettiQg tighter. Prices are going up and parents are complaining. Students now are understanding the plight of the working-class man, and so they are dropping out and trying to find jobs," he said. . The Attica incident, and the continuing War are a few of the on-going frustrations that, Olim said, "have produced feelings of major disillusionment among students." Olim said he sees these as feelings brought on by a national student feeling of ineffectuality. Students have retreated within themselves in a quiet-dissent, self-exploratory way. And the result is a new individuality , a new (Continued on Page 12) by Tony Nauroth Elmo Nipper sat quietly on the stage at the Center for Performing Arts.

The key to his success is that he does his graduate work in business will find job, checking on all the various parts of the campus, following a schudule, Programs of Graduate Study in yet never keeping to the same pattern. The element of surprise never Business: 1971-72 helpful. G rad EX a m In .BusI•n es s I I I a, J '-10 lw1 V f /~ II I leaves the picture. Believe it or not, there is actually such a person right here on the Wilkes College campus. This mysterious person often appears with a smiling face and a cheery' "Just checkin'' hope everything's o.k." Other times his arrival is announced in advance with a soft, low whistle . He's also that ever-helpful person who comes to assist when a lightbulb needs changing, or a lock needs checking; he's the little elf who makes the rounds checking doors to make sure that they're secure for the night. He's the sympathetic soul who tries to cheer you up after a long, hard, night of hitting the books. In case you haven't guessed by now that "little elf' is none other than Cecil, better known on campus as Koon . Clad in the blue shirt and dark blue trouser, he's also an official security guard. But the students and faculty who have really gotten to know him have come to realize that he's a lot more than just a security guard -- he's a genuine person who cares about Wilkes and the students here particularly. Cecil knows the students and the students know him and feel secure in relying on him in the case of an emergency. His friendly smile adds an air of confidence to the campus after dark, along with the confidence of knowing that any reasonable request will be answered within a minimum of time. Proctors have learned to rely on him in cases of emergency and even in the case of minor problems. "All work and no play?" Well this certainly does not apply to Cecil, as certain sources have seen him in the Commons actually relaxing and having a cup of coffee. BEACON staff members can really appreciate the need for a conscientious security guard with the long and often irregular hours put in over the weekend. There's a moral to this story buried somewhere beneath all the description. We complain about the poor security measures on campus, yet fail to appreciate someone who is dedicated to the job and to the ~tudents. Granted there is much more to be desired in the system, but there is 'also the need to realize how good we have it in certain instances, and cultivate that part of the system. I'm inclined to borrow JoAnn Gomer's phrase right now: Wouldn't it be nice if there were more security guards on campus who took their job seriously? Wouldn't it be nice if the students could appreciate the guards who care about them and really do their job?

His trial was about to begin and end in -swift succession. As he waited expectantly, the Court Spokesman read the charges which had been lodged against him, along with his verdict. "Case number 666, in the court of the High Tribunal. The prisoner is charged with inhabiting prohibited dimensions in the spatio-temporal realm. Since there is no possibility for innocence in this case, we find the . defendent guilty, as charged. He is hereby sentenced to undergo the test of the three chambers. Case dismissed ." Two guards hustled the prisoner to a large waiting room, which was empty except for a small speaker on the ceiling and a black door on the opposite wall. The prisoner read the sign on the door - "Chamber One." Then a voice emanated from the speaker ... "Your sentence is about to begin. You will pass through the black door, into Chamber One; at the opposite end of the chamber is a c'.oor which leads to Chamber Two; the same follows for Chamber Three. At the opposite end of Chamber Three is a door which leads to safety. Each chamber is designed to place you in a position of mortal danger. However, you may, within five seconds of your entering each chamber, select any weapon or equipment you desire, in order to defend yourself. Have you any questions?" The prisoner smiled, and then broke into fits of uncontrollable laughter. "You mean that's all there is to it? This is unbelievable .. . hey, if I get to the last door, will you let me go free?" "Put your mind at ease. No one has ever made it to the last door!" "What if I refuse to enter Chamber One?" "Within one minute, this room will be filled with a highly poisonous gas. Your only means of escape is through the chambers." The prisoner shrugged, "Well, what have I got to lose?" and entered Chamber One. He was immediately thrust into what seemed like World War III. Every type of weapon imaginable was being fired around his head. Thinking quickly, he begged for a lead suit of armor. Instantly, the firing ceased and a lead suit of armor was lowered to him from a panel in the ceiling of the chamber. When he had donned his uniform,the attack was resumed against him. The prisoner found walking extremely difficult, but lie finally reached the door to Chamber Two, unharmed. He hesitated for just a moment, and then entered the chamber. The initial shock felled him to his knees. Never in life had he experienced such excruciating sensual pain. A torturous array of pungent ordors seared his nostrils; his ears strained, at the mercy of the deafenif18 screeches which reverberated throughout the chamber; he was blinded by the beams of light waves which fell .upon his eyes. He cried out for a sensory-inhibitor, a device which deprives a person of all sensory contact with his environment. It was once used as a method of torture. Meanwhile, the prisoner's own torture had ceased momentarily, and he saw a sensory-inhibitor being lowered t9 him from a panel in the ceiling of the chamber. He secured the device, trusting that his ordeal had resumed, although he wasn't sure, because he could. see, hear, a.nd smell nothing. It was no easy task reaching the door to Chamber Three, considering the manner in which the prisoner was equipped. But when he finally got (Continued On Page 7) stuuents ,, ,ew MusIC• Departmen t J II• by Bob Leach . The Department of Music, a department which has long been overlooked' except for it's usual news coverage d · value, has many interesting aspects to discover. In a effort to determine the outlook, we interviewe two semor music majors and avid ambassadors of the Music Department, Julie Levoy and Stanley Yunkunis. Julie is a senior Music Education major form Dover, New Jersey, and faithfully accompanies the Wilkes College Chorus at rehearsals and performances. Stanley Yunkunis is a voice major, also a senior, and participates in operas and musicals at Wilkes. Th~ Music Department ~as sometimes been accused of bemg "clannish" or a st rong unit.

Also, all of the m::sic classes, which compromise fl)OSt of their schedules, are taught in Dorothy Dickson Darte Hall, which serves as a "home for the music majors. The ·beautifully equipped center serves the department, as well as others, excellently. If you've ever had a class in D.D.D. Hall, you probably ventured into one of those little "closets", I mean practice rooms! One question that appeared in our minds is, "Doesn't it get lonelr in th~re?"

Stan agreed a~d added, "you are alwars there with so~eone, _your ~us1~You can !:!nJoy bemg with it because you know you have to live with it for the rest of your life." Needless to say, plenty of work goes into the makings of artist such as a musician. Weekly practice ranges from an average 25 to 35 hours per week to prepare for as many as ten performances ye~rly. Add that to your daily homework schedule and you barely come up with enough time to sustain life!! Also included in their busy program is chorus or band, which is mandatory for all music majors. The Wilkes College Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Richard Probert, is comprised of 111 victorious voices (30 percent non-music majors) and the band, under the direction of Mr. Raymond ' Nutaitus, has 70 instrumenteers. One thing that has perplexed the students is that the three hours of rehearsal per week, not including performances is only worth .5 credits. But, Stanley says, "If you love it, you dorr't mind about the credit." The chorus is open to the entire campus and anyone interested in joining is welcome to visit Mr. Probert. What satisfaction is there? Julie told us, ''When I play it's a tense thing, but you must be able to concentrate and enjoy." Stan said the satisfaction from music is "Well, it's the love of music tha; makes you "want" to perform and after performing you feel that you have shared something with someone else, your music and your 'self." · VIEWPOINT (From Page 2) minor point will become yet another front for c"onformity vs. individuality.

Pagliaro set the tone of the program by stressing the unbiased evaluation of the students and asking parents and students alike to listen to each other. Tune further extended the welcome and asserted his faith in Wilkes College and the people who make up this institution. President Micheiini stressed the importance of a small campus and reminded parents that Wilkes offers the opportunity for each individual to find himself not only in the classroom, but outside its academic confines as well. The activities of the rest of the day revolved around an intercollegiate football game in the afternoon, individual social activities on campus and a musical program in the evening. there , he entered the chamber immediately, having built up his confidence to a monumental zenith.

Usually, she and her salesman husband look forward to the 25 ,000 young people who pour into the Pennsylvania State University in Staie College each fall because, in her words, "they liven up the town." Now, she's afraid they'll destroy the town. Mrs. Harkins, like many citizens of State College, is worried about the impact of the 26th Amendment, which lowers the voting age from 21 to 18 for young people across the country. "If these people can register and vote here , they 'll run the town." Mrs. Harkins says. She fears a student-elected town council or county government would raise local taxes and act against the best interests of the local residents. There are only 7,000 registered voters in State College which could mean that if the students all registered they would outnumber the local voting populace by more than three to one. Until this year, most students were not eligible to vote either because they were under twenty-one or because local laws prohibited them from registering. The county voting code insists that students sign an affidavit stating they will become permanent residents of the area and will pay local taxes. That has been sufficient to disc~urage would-be student voters in the past. The Pennsylvania Attorney General is expected . to rule this code unconstitutional. In 16 states throughout the United States, courts and authorities have held that students can vote where they go to school. If and when this happens in Pennsylvania, State College will feel the impact. In other college communities throughout the United States, similar fears are being expressed this fall about student voting. Even in larger urban areas, close elections will undoubtedly be affected by the new young voters. Concern over the youth vote is not restricted to those like Mrs. , Harkins who worry about the effect on local elections. The political future of President Nixon himself mav depend upon the 11.3 million people . between the ages 21 and 18 eligf,&-: to vote in the 1972 presidential elections. Of the half dozen or so organizations now waging major registration drives in the country, almost all share one goal in common - the defeat of Richard Nixon. Allard Lowenstein, a former New York Congressman and founder of the successful "Dump Johnson" movement in 1968, has spent the last eight months registering young voters throughout the country. "It's going better than we ever expected," he says. 1 Lowenstein's organization, called "Summer Registration," claims to have registered 30,000 of 56,000 potential voters in one New York county this summer. Similar results were achieved in a massive drive for registrations in California. Lowenstein tells his youthful audiences that President Nixon defeated Lyndon Johnson by 500,000 votes. If only half of the under 21 -group registers, they still will comprise five to six million voters, he points out. ''That," he says, "is more than enough to end the political career of President Nixon." Party registration figures lend support to Lowenstein's contention. Although the new voting bill was signed into law by Republican Nixon, the Democratic Party may be the chief benefactor. Early registration figures indicate that 65 per cent to 75 per cent of the young people signing up to vote are doing so as Democrats. This represents a sizable increase over national figures which give the Democrats 44 per cent of all registered voters, the remainder being split almost evenly between Republicans and Independents. While such figures give some encouragement to Democratic Party leaders, their significance is tempered by several phenomena. Among these are the traditionally low turn-out of 21-30 year-old voters, the tendency of voters once inside the voting booth to cross party lines to vote for particular candidates or issues, . and the importance under the ' electoral college system of the geographic distribution of young voters. . Because of these ·and other factors, White House politicians working for. Nixon's re-election are not convinced the youth vote will be decisive in the '72 presidential election. They point out that although five or six million new young voters may go to the polls next year , another 75 to 80 million adult Americans will also vote for a presidential candidate. Thus, the 18 to 21 year-old vote wm represent only six to seven per cent of the total. · Although this percentage could constitute a crucial margin, the likelihood of a youth "bloc vote" seems slight, particularly to those who remember the . strong support given to George Wallace by the 21-30 year-old voters of 1968. · Predicting the eventual impact of the youth vote is difficult at this point, but that fact has not dampened · the enthusiasm of several organizations in their registration efforts. Equipped with money , know-how and leadership, theyare determined to encourage young people , to register. · . · One ac'dve group , for example, is the Youth Citizenship fund , Inc., a non-profit organization which displayed remarkable success in vot~r registration last summer. With twelve paid field organizers and an office m Washington, YSF is now preparing a massive registration campaign in 305 college towns throughout the nation. The Wilkes College Faculty Art Show, which has become the unofficial opening event of the Wyoming Valley Art Season, was recently unveiled. · Two new members of the art department, Kathleen Matics, a graduate of New York University, now in her second year at Wilkes, and Henry Casilli, a Penn State graduate, are exh ibiting their wor.k for the first time here.

EDUCATION BILL REFORMS PRESENTED BY SEN ATOR Pennsylvania's Senator Richard S. Schweiker played a major role in drafting a higher education reform bill titled "Higher Education Amendments of 1971." Working to make a reality of President Nixon's dream that "no qualified student who wants to go to college should be barred by he lack of money," the Senator feels that this bill "represents a major breakthrough for higher education." The bill contains four key provisions: I. A federal entitlement of $1400 to every student towards full costs of post-secondary education less personal and family contributions and not to exceed 50 percent of the college costs. 2. Assurances that middle-economic families will receive financial support to help meet the "crisis of soaring Advanced-Study Fellowships programs for Mexican Americans and educational expenses."

It was a day that won't soon be ·')rgotten by the folks. Such priceless slogans as Sterling Hall's "Welcome ,\ioney and Daddy .. . (and Mommy, Too)" greeted the parents who were fa ter to witness sterling performances by their offspring on the athletic fields. The Colonels and Colonelettes registered a pair of moral victories and o_ne _that was tallied in the win column Saturday. First the soccer squad, a1mmg toward what looks to be their finest season in history, took on Philadelphia Textile, a team ranked sixth nationally. The Colonels lost 3-~, bu_t the effort of the Blue and Gold can hardly be acknowledged in a '"smg hght. They fought valiantly and at one time had the score tied. This was the best effort Wilkes has ever mustered against old nemesis Textile and everyone walked away extremely proud of our hooters and' greatly aware of their improvement over seasons past. • Next, the women's field hockey team did battle against the Alumni team. The Colonelettes lost 7-1, but again it was a moral victory since the gals scored their first goal of the year against a defense that featured many former hockey all-Americans. Finally came the football game where the score 20-2 speaks for itself. The stout-hearted defense performed• particularly well in intercepting tlm~e passes, throwing Moravian's quarterback for several losses and picking up a loose fumble. Congratulations are in order for Bob Ashton who picked up that fumble and raced some 50 odd yards to the end zone out-distancing the entire Moravian squad. Unfortunately the official ruled that his knee had touched where he first latched onto the ball and the TD was nullified. Nevertheless it was quite a feat for a lineman. lntramurals The· Wilkes intramural program got underway last week with head ,-ordinator Coach Joe Skvarla predicting plenty of excitement for the u pcoming year. Intramural football kicked off• its season with Priapus taking the measu re of 262 , 2-0, while Slocum downed Webster, 7-0. Last year's defe nding champs, Dirksen meet Bruch Hall today in their first encounter of the year. Dirksen once again appears loaded with talent and has an excellent chance to repeat as champs. Games scheduled for next week are as follows : October 11 - 262 vs 61-63 West Ross, October 12 Webster vs Warner, October 13 - Priapus vs Grissom , October 14 Slocum vs Dirksen, October 15 - Colonels vs Gore. In intramural bowling, Slocum is back to defend its first place finish of l~t year. Team bowling as well as individual bowling are featured this year with an elimination tournament for individuals slated to start soon. It appears the league will be well balanced.

Wilkes has won six of the last eight grid affairs with DV, and this game doens't figure to hurt those statistics. I will be surprised if Yeager, the most elusive back to play in Pennsylvania since Lightnin' Lenny Moore was at Penn State, does not register at least two tallies. And let us not forget about the "Crime, Inc.," better known to you as the Wilkes defense, who seem to thrive on "stealing" passes, "intimidating" ballcarriers, and "murdering" enemy quarterbacks with sinister delight. Soccer co-captain Chip Eaton East Stroudsburg To Edge Kutztown This is a contest that might be called a battle of the "midget" quarterbacks: 5' 10" Terry Woginrich for Kutztown against 5' 8" Steve Mummaw for ESSC Warriors. This game will be one of revenge as ESSC makes amends for last year's 49 to 43 loss. The Golden Bears of Kutztown were decimated by a large loss of lettermen {21) including several top linemen. Edinboro to Throttle Indiana (Pa.) "Sweet revenge" will not be the theme of this game; instead , I prefer to title it "how the mighty have fallen." Undefeated Indiana, led by tailback Larry Monsilovich, faces a talented ErJ:nboro squad featuring 25 let.~_,nen, including their entire starting backfield, from last year's . 9 and I team. Edinboro won last year by a margin of two touchdowns and should repeat that winning effort this time. Soccer co-captain Bob Linaberrv by Jim Godlewski The Wtlkes College Soccer Team broke even during the week, beating the Greyhounds of Moravian College 4-0 and losing to the Rams of Philadelphia Textile 3-2. On Tuesday, the Wllkesmen shutout Moravian College 4-0 with the aid of 15 saves by senior co-captain, Chip Eaton. Freshman sensation, George Bene Hoane scored three goals to bring his total to eight for the season. Bene Hoane, who is a native of Ivory Coast in Africa , needs only five more goals to tie the record for the most goals in a season. Junior Ed Garabedian scored the other goal plus an assist. The win brought the Booters record to 3-0. On Saturday, October 2, the Blue and Golders lost a tough 3-2 decision to Philadelphia Textile before a large Parents' Day crowd. Textile opened the scoring by taking a 1-0 lead in the closing minutes of the first quarter, but the Rokitamen came battling back to tie up the contest with 14: 10 of the second quarter with a goal by Ed Garabedian and an assist from Rich ' Combellack. In a heavily defensive minded contest , Textile tallied twice in the third period to take a 3-1 lead, but with 44 seconds left in the same period Ed Garabedian scored his seconl goal of the day to narrow the margin to 3-2. Due to adverse field conditions and rain, both teams seemed sluggish and bogged down in the fourth quarter and couldn't muster any offense.

Individualism skips rampant through the student life-style. Give Peace A Chance chants have evolved into a new soft music, a new gentle sound of manifesting itself in quiet love stories in song. Small shops and co-ops have opened, selling hand-made, back-to-earth clothing and organic goods,a reaction against depersonalized mass-produced culture . Do-it-yourself attitudes accompany the do-your-own thing philosophy. We grow our own organic food, make our own clothes, build our own furniture, plan our own curricula, ride our own bikes instead of driving a car ... and the list is as long as the list of problems. But our newly-discovered Student Age of Individualism isn't beneficial if it isn't channeled in positive directions. Hopefully, in developing ourselves as individuals, we'll create the impetus to get back together and then get it all together. There seems to be a change of consciousness, but , hopefully, not a lack of it. Students are looking for new kinds of solutions. Hopefully , they are no less concerned about the problems. But if - through the vote and working within the system rather than without it - students can't be effective in changing our environment, another stage of disillusionment _ - one punctuated with apathy, discouragement and l 950's nostalgia - may set in.

' 'Tum-outs at try outs," says Karen, "get worse every year." At try -outs prospective cheerleaders are judged on two cheers, a cartwheel and a split after three weeks of practice with the regular cheerleaders.

Mrs. Vujica was "the Wife of Dr. Stanko Vujica, head of the Philosophy and R eligion Departments at Wilkes College, and was widely known as an author of short stories and poetry in her native Croatia, Yuxoslavia Shortly after her death, Dr. Brontis Kaslas of the History Department at Wilkes wrote a eulogy 'in her honor. The following are some excerpts from this eulogy: "Mrs. Vujica's day of prosperity was joyful indeed because she knew how to give herself to others, a far from commonplace talent, as we all know. Many of us can admit to being so introspectively occupied that the giving of self often fa ils to enter our plans. But she, whom we honor, simply knew of no other way in which to live. In her chosen work as head librarian at Wilkes, in her relationships with confederates and students, she became an institution within an institution, a nucleus of our cultural aims, the golden nugget at the heart of a place of /earning, wherein the seed of man's fo ndest hopes fo r a better tomorrow is still to be fo und. She sent out rays to encompass not only her private milieu of the library, but to touch and warm all of us who functioned around her during the past 25 years. "I know we all agree that Mrs. Vujica was a major influence in the development of Wilkes. The word "influence" has a charming literal defin ition which seems especially appropriate in describing her contributions: - the flowing of an ethereal fluid of power fro m the stars - thought to affect the actions of people - and this definition rings with truth, for both the Vujicas, linked by a bond forged of mutual love and respect and by a shared heritage of pride in thidr origins, certainly brought a "power from the stars " into our daily routines to stir out imaginations and encourage us to seek broader knowledge and new horizons of selfimprovement. "Mrs. Vujica was dependable, unique, precious. Her character was spun of sturdy thread, the kind we can ill afford to spare in our tangled world. She fulfilled a demanding post f or two and one half decode; and imbued it with all the beauty of her nature. Her friendship meant so much to us at its projected ab sence hardly seems bearable in this sod moment. And yet I know that she left us positive values, and that it is upon these which she would wan t us to dwell. "The library was Mrs. Vujica 's daily business, and perhaps this old description of the function of a book would aptly describe her character: "A book will do y ou good, and ask no fa vor in return. It gives, and does not take. " Nor has she left us even now, for the institution she created out of her own mind and spirit and the unwavering design of culture at Wilkes, which molded with her special artestry, will remain a part of our school's heritage until time itself runs out. "Therefore, for the sake of human worth and dignity, let us who survive try to Jive according to Nada Vujica 's example. Let us perpetuate the love she engendered among us by using it every day to renew hope, spread wisdom, calm storms, relieve oppression; and abo ve all let us extend our hands in friendship as she exUnded hers. In so doing, we will be building a monument not only to a cherished being, but to the important values she taught us to uphold. " President Francis J. Michelini, in marking her death, said in part: "The death of Mrs. Noda Vujica marks the second time in a few months that Wilkes College has lost someone who cannot be replaced. "Individuals like Mrs. Vujica are unique to any educational institution because she was blessed with the habit of giving of herself in a way that leaves. all those with whom she came in contact richer by the experience. " In keeping with a continuing effo rt to improve the quality of education at Wilkes , College President Dr. Francis J . Michelini thi s week announced the formation of a Stude nt-Faculty Evaluat ion Committee. Dr. Michelini sees the recent innovation as a re flectio n of " the maturity of the fac ulty, an indication of their confidence in the teaching pro fessio n." · The committee is a positive action aimed at making the teaching· program here at Wilkes as effec tive as possible. The purpose of committee action will not be to judge the teachers and decide the fate of their jobs. As a result of discussions over the last three to four y.ears , it became apparent to students and faculty that unless the program took a positive constructive form , admitting both students and faculty , it would be little more than a critique session. Students will still be the primary mechanism , but their efforts will be aimed at constructive changes, based on questionnaires and actual observation. Selection of committee members will follow the standard procedure set up by Stua ent Government. An initial invitation for membership in the committee will be directed at the entire student body . Applications will then be made available for the students at key locations on campus. These applications will then be submitted to the Student Government Executive Committee which will in turn ra te the applicants. Selections by the committee will then be turned over to Dr. Michelini for the final decision. Discussion for the Evaluation Committee first came up at the fall faculty meeting. Action was taken in the formation of an ad hoc committee on · teacher recognition and effectiveness. The com mittee was chaired by Mr. Michael Barone. Committee membe rs included Mr. Warre n DeArment , Engl ish Department ; Ca ldwell Stresses Technology Among the distinguished educators who spoke recently at a meeting of the Northeast Regional Na t io n al S cie n ce Teachers Associa t io n in H a r tfo rd, Connecticut was Dr. Harrie E. Caldwell, professor of education at Wilkes College. Dr. Caldwell , who is one of the directors of specialized training in el e mentary and secondary education, - presented an add ress, "Of Talking Kids and Teacher Talk - Analysis of Self. " "Analy sis, and subsequent evaluation on one's own teaching strategies and effectiveness is probably practiced , in some way, - by all teachers," according to Dr. Caldwell. Modern technology has provided one means that Dr. Caldwell has found useful in aiding teachers in observing their own behavior in the classroom. This type of oberservation and analysis of one's own teaching becomes more efficient when it is done in a systematic fashion . By the end of the session , each participant was able to 9escribe the categories and techiniques which constitute the last base and demonstrate procedures for collecting and analyzing data from a typed script of a science lesson. Dr. Caldwell also had a particular goal in mind - that participants become proficient with an interaction analysis system, analyze their own teaching and become more flexible teachers. Mrs. Patricia Pisanesch i, Psychology Department ; Dr. Wilbur Hayes, Biology De partment ; Dr. Joel Berlatski , History Department; and Mf. Jacinto Vereda, Economics Department. The ad hoc committee fo rmulated the following standards fo r composition and charge of the permanent committee: "The committee shall consist of nine members: two faculty members fr om each division and one student fro m each of the three divisions. Faculty members shall be appointed by the President from a slate of at least three members from each division nominated by the faculty. Department and division chairmen shall not be eligible for nomination. Student members shall be appointed by the President following the prevailing procedure used for other standing committees. "The committee shall determine and administer techniques fo r (I) evaluating and improving teacher effectiveness and (2) properly utilizing the accumulated information. "The committee shall be responsible for presenting a progress report to the faculty prior to the last scheduled faculty meeting of the current academic year." This proposal was passed at the October faculty meeting . Nominations to the permanent committee will be made at the November meeti ng. Dr. Michelin i anticipates that the committee will be operational by December I . The actual evaluation will be assessed in April and May fo r the following academic year. In discussing the forma tion of the committee, Dr. Michelini sta ted that he sees it as "a challenge to improve the quality of our teacning." He feels that there is a continual "need to strive for an ideal quality," and regards the evaluation committee as part of the continuing "efforts to achieve perfec tion."

Using the term "security" on this campus may bring a variety of responses, but they generally boil down to one impression "What security?" Dormitory students are informed that the College has a system of security guards on campus set up to meet the general needs of the college students. But a great many students are unaware that there is such an institution in existance on this campus, much less able to fathom the role or importance of a conscientious security guard. Several years ago the students themselves attempted to initiate a system of student patrols, indicating that the then present system was indeed inadequate. The results were good, but no one grasped the initiative to continue a job that otheres were doing inadequately and still getting paid for. Wilkes College is con,atantly expanding. This means that the actual area which the campus encompasses also increases. Wilkes is definitely not a tightly unified campus, therefore, there is need for adequate security means to assure the coverage of the entire campus. Pragmatically, Wilkes has no security, system, or at the most, one that is easy to skirt around, thus making it totally ineffective. A regular system of patrols is sent out, but the system is so regular, that anyone with a minute degree of intelligence need only follow a security guard one eve_ning to figure out the pattern and literally be "in" without any possibility of being apprehended. The activities of last year alone demonstrate to what a dangerous degree security is failing. Where were the security guards when a male student climbed up to the second floor of a girl's dorm, entered through the window, and ran through the building? Where were the security guards when rooms were entered through means of a fire escape? Practical jokes? Maybe. But what happens that ONE time when the actions aren't just jokes? The examples are endless, but the answer still remains a huge question mark. We repeat - What Security? A Worthwhile Issue At the time of this writing, it is yet uncertain whether Wilkes will conduct a Prospective Freshman Weekend. The motion passed IDC and the final decision is up to the Council of Deans. It is our hope that after all circumstances have been considered, the council will vote in favor of the proposal. The last weekend of this sort was held during the winter of 1969, for the benefit of this years' Junior Class. We feel that the program offered much for the high school r~~~~~==~~,i seniors who came to Wilkes and it would be to the best interest of the college to initiate the program again.

ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE Backround to 1971 Draft Act />resident Nixon's Record: Appointed Commission on an All-Volunteer Armed Force 27 March 1969, headed by Thomas Gates; report with recommendations on volunteer army and interim draft reforms submitted 6 February 1970. Message to Congress, 23 April 1970, calling for lottery, 20 percent pay raise, deferment modification, national uniform call. By Executive Order President limited vulnerability to one y ear instead of seven (during 19th birthday or y ear after losing deferment), and set policy of calling youngest men first. Pay was increased 7.1 percent in 1970. Congress in I 9 70: Passed President Nixon's lottery hill, rejected 20 percent incentive pay increases. House debated other draft reforms, asked by the President, late in the year, but neither house took action. Congressional Action in 1971 President's Message, 28 January 1971: Extend draft two years till I July 1973, enact Draft Board reforms, modify deferments, increase pay incentives, authorize uniform national call. House of Representatives: On I April 1971 passed its version (H.R. 6531) of the President's bill, voting 293-99. Accepted 30 July 1971 House-Senate Conference Report on 4 August 1971, voting 297-108. Senate: On 24 June 1971 passed H.R. 6531 with 28 amendments/changes, voting 72-16. Accepted Conference R eport on 21 September 1971, voting 55-30. Changes Under New law 1. Student Deferments: President was given authority (which he has said he will exercise) to end student deferments starting with the _19 71-72 academic year. Men in college ~fore this year may retain deferments for four years total or until the age of 24; whichever comes first. Students drafted while in school may postpone induction until end of the academic year: Current new students are not entitled to student deferments, but may complete their year's work. 2. Uniform National Call: President was given authority-(which he has also said he will exercise) to induct men on a national rather than local basis. Thus men with the same lottery number will be inducted ar' th; same time, regardless of the location of their draft boards. 3. Draft Board Composition: Maximum service for members is 20 y ears (down from 25). The minimum age is 18 (previously set at 30) and maximum 65 (down from 75) for Board members. Local boards may be consolidated with the governor's consent. 4 . Other Deferments: Divinity students may obtain deferments but lose them if they do _not enter the ministry immediately upon graduation. Sole surviving sons continue to be eligible for exemptions. Any man whose father, brother or sister was killed in military service starting I January 1960 is also exempt, and if already iri service may retire. Aliens cannot be drafted until they have lived in the U.S. for one y ear, or if they have served in the armed f orce of any U.S. ally.

The second 1P on "Untitled," the studio production, shows this trend. There are a few old-Byrds type songs, such as the Leadbelly cocaine holler "Take a Whiff' (it once filtered onto pop radio in the form of "Have a Drink on Me."). But mainly the studio songs here are of the new type, rounder and more compact. And several other group members sing lead on various songs. Traditionally McGuinn did most of the vocals, as his voice was the Byrds' trademark. "The Byrds (Untitled)" thus spans a good deal of Byrds history, and that takes in quite a span. There is an emotion and a tremendous vitality in what they do: I realize this .is a very I 967 San Francisco thing to say, but Byrds music like "Mr. Tambourine Man" always struck me as very circular- moving, like lying on the grass on a cool night and watching the stars move in a big circle.

Not true. There is one thing that binds a!J students all over the country - aJJ over the world - together. Their parents. There usua!Jy are two of them per student. Some students have more, or less; but usually each student is blessed with two. And it's not easy for us to forget them. They help us select a college. "I don ' t like it , AI," your mother caws to your father. "Don't like what, Esther? "This college - this Harvard place. What kind of school is that for a nice boy like Our Marvi n - so far away from home?" They even give us the application fee money. They give us money go ,go away to school with. They patk our clothes carefully, underwear and socks on the bottom , shirts and suits in the middle, and a gas mask on the top (I mean, they read Newsweek, they know), your mother muttering God Forbid as she closes the mammoth trunk shut. And fina!Jy we're gone - supposedly basking in educational bliss , miles away from home . Yes. We 're gone . But they're still there. The first letter comes a day after you 've arrived, taped to the outside of a large package. "Dear Son , Enclosed with this letter is a year's supply of vitamins so that you shouldn't get a deficiency. " And the letters are always signed Your Mother so you shouldn't think it's someone else's mother who 's sending you vitamins. For the first few weeks of college, the letters arrive daily at the dorm. Then the phone ca!Js start coming. "Hello, Marvin? This is your mother." "Oh, hi, Ma." "Don't "Hi, Ma" me. Marvin , do you know how much this phone call is costing me?" "Ma, you didn't have to-" "Marvin, I know what's going on. I know. I saw the 6 o'clock news tonight. I saw you sitting in the president's office with that bunch of roughnecks. I saw you smoking his cigarettes and drinking his sherry ." "Ma --" . "Marvin, I saw. I saw it a!J." "But, Ma --" "Marvin, I want you to know -- and I don't want you to feel the least bit guilty -- but you've let your father and I down terribly --" "Ma!" "I didn't know. I didn't know. This is why we sent you away to that fancy-shmancy $4,000 a year college? We never thought you 'd be up to anything like this." "Ma, I --". " Marvin. You promised. And you've let us down. Your father and I are very disappointed that you're, that you're--" "That I'm what , Ma?" "That you're smoking cigarettes and drinking sherry. You promised you wouldn't , Marvin." "But Ma I --" "So liste~, Star. You looked very nice on the TV. Maybe you should go into the television field - " uMa." " So who was that girl you were with? You never told your mother about her - " And on and on it goes, your Mother, having only your best interests at heart. Of course . And then there's that evening you call home "just to talk" and your mother's out and you attempt to talk to your father and mention that you're changing your major. "Dad?" "Yes, Son." (He calls you Son so that you shouldn't forget.) "I'm changing my major from Pre-Med to Humanities." "To Humanities?" "Yeah." "What are you going to do -- open up a Humanities store?" But worse than the letters, worse than the phone calls, are the Vacations. There usua!Jy are three or four a year. You come back home exhausted from cramming hard after ~eek-long exams, tired from having led such a staunch, clean-cut, moral college life, wiped out from those post-finals parties. You return home looking tired and worn out, ready to go back to your old room and faint. As you walk in the door, your mother pulJs out an old copy of the National Observer. "See, Al," she says to your father. "I was right." Your father tucks in his undershirt and takes a deep breath. "What's aJJ this about?" You ask weakly. "Marvin, your eyes are bloodshot," your mother says. "I haven't slept much -- exams." . "And I detect a drastic change in your personality." {Continued on Page I 2) One of the most fundamental points of President Nixon's platform is a determined attack against crime in the United States. In an all- out effort to preserve law and order , the President has launched an intensive campaign to purge the country of criminals and other various law-breakers. The way I see it, this effort could deal a most devastating blow to the welfare of the United States. Here are just a few of the disastrous implica tions of Nixon's "war on crime ": The most immediate backlash would result from approximately 20 million professional criminals who would find themselves out of work. Being especially trained for their special, technical skills, they would find it extremely difficult to adjust to o ther occupations. This means that nearly all of these professionals would be fo rced to go on relief, which would swell our already-bloated unemployment ranks another l O percent. In addition , the abolition of crime in the United Stated would imply the disbanding of all law enforcement agencies. We would have no need for local policemen, State Troopers , the F .B.I., the CJ. A. , night watchmen, security guards, and cowboy sheriffs. This raises our unemployed mob another two percent. And that's not a!J . The elimination of crime would effectively curb the need for many currently thriving businesses; for TRI DIVISION {From Page 3) instance : all companies which sell The humanities are just insurance against theft and beginning to get involved in area vandalism , those corporations affairs. Dr. Fiester points to the which manufacture locks and other theater workshop, the various concerts and the art shows as the division's outlay.

Dr. Fiester targets success in his Sunday will introduce the division as a commitment the program's first Ecumenical Church student makes to himself combined Service which promises to become with a certain amount of creativity. Still there is no formula for success as s~ch , but as long as the student has met admission standards and is. prepared to work, he should encounter little difficulty. Often a student's major problem in the humanities is slow reading speed and poor comprehension . There is a new face in Weckesser Hall this semester. Mr. Bernard Vinovrski has been appointed Director of the Evening Division Wilkes Co!Jege. Vinovrski is a native of Luzerne , Pa . Having graduated from Wilkes in 1969, he is we!J acquainted with the college. As Director of the Evening Division , Vinovrski schedules evening courses and assists Dean Whitby in addition to arranging courses of study for evening students . Although the evening co!Jege will remain basically the same, Vinovrski plans to experiment with Saturday classes . He also plans several management seminars with representatives of area business. The purpose of these seminars is to discuss how the evening college presently benefits the area and how it can better benefit it. Directo r Vinovrski explained that the evening college is utilized by people who can attend classes only in the evening . Many area workers attend evening classes. The evening college also helps older people and those who have been away from school to further their education. They often feel they can't compete with other students on a full time basis. The evening courses provide them with a chance to further their education while adjusting to the college envirornment. safety devices, those which sell safes and burglar alars , and personnel who raise and train watchdogs .. . Not to mention that the sale of weapons and ammunition would drop by abou t 30 percent; or that all distric t attorney, judges and othe r courtroon employees would become bored to death, and co!Ject cobwebs from just sitting around . By this this time, about half of the United Stated would be unemployed. The working hal f of the country would be forced either to go broke trying to support these masses, or to simply let the poor suckers starve to death. [ would assume that the unemployed would not support the latter alternative, regardless of their patriotism. ln fact , they would be great enough in number to organize the largest crime operation known to mankind , in order to sruvive . With no law-enforcement agencies in operation , the United States would crumble like a burnt fly in a flame. Apparently, President Nixon does not realize the revolution and anarchy which he is advocating. Apparently , he does not realize that he is one of the greatest threats to the welfare of our nationn. (Of course, he may be working for "them sneaky Commies.) As for me, I am working hard to ensure the preservation of crime in the United States. Crime is good, wholesome and red-blooded. It's as American as Mom, apple pie and involvement in Vietnam . And it is one of the factors that has made America the rich, influential, powerful country that it is today . Let's face it - crime pays. an integral part of future Homecoming Weekends. The service will take place in the Center of the Performing Arts at 11 a.m. Sunday evening will bring the weekepd to a fabulous conclusion as students will be treated to The Byrds' in concert.

According to FCC regulations, an educational radio station can not compete with commercial stations by presenting the same type programming. It may not present any type of programming in abundance that is not of an educational nature There is little student interest in doing actual work on the station and cataloging material. Therefore, for the first year there will be little time to work out and present contemporary music' in an educational context. Dr. Farley, Dr. Michelini and Mr. Berg pointed out that the station is basically oriented to educate, but the actual programming is flexible.

WILl<.ES-8ARRE if --------------t RABAM' �October 14, 1971 UNIVERSITIES FIGHT POVERTY WITH ACTIONS THE BEACON Page 9 AMNICOLA IN PINCH by Anna Ostapuw "Have you bought a 1972 Amnicola?" " No, I'm ·apathetic." "No, my picture won't be in it." "No, I don't know that many people." "No, I don't have $5 to spare." These are just a few of the responses a Beacon reporter received when she asked some students this pertinent question. Barbara McNicholl , editor of the 1972 AMNICOLA, was interviewed to get answers to this dilemma. AMNICOLA has had a continuous deficit for many years , because the selling price of the yearbook was kept low while the cost of production was rising. Student Government allotment did not cover the difference, and at this time the yearbook has a deficit of $2700. The 1971 AMNICOLA cost _$ 10,500 to produce. This did not include $500 paid to Paramount Studios for photography or $500 which covers miscellaneous expenses. By keeping the same quality of the 1971 AMNICOLA, the 1972 AM NICOL A will co st approximately $11 ,200. The Student Government allotment this year to AMNICOLA is the same amount as last year, $7500. If 600 yearbooks are sold at $5 each, the intake will be $3000. The ads usually bring in $800, _b ut the goal this year is $ 1000. Therefore, the expected gross income is $11 ,500. Although this is $300 more than the supposed cost of the 1972 AMNICOLA, miscellaneous costs such as postage and office supplies must· be considered. When asked what could be done to help lower production costs, Barbara McNicholl stated ,. "Certainly it would help if we sold more than 600 yearbooks. The production cost goes down with each yearbook ordered over _5 00 copies." "Why do you only sell 600 books?" "I d'on't really know. I feel that the quality of the book is very good. The Wilkes students seem to feel that the yearbook is unimportant. They fail to realize that their yearbook is a permanent recollection of all phases of their college life. It · does not seem possible that Wilkes students would complain about the price as most have paid much more for their high school yearbook. It is not uncommon for colleges to charge $20 for their books." The AMNICOLA costs $14 -to publish per copy. The underclassmen only have to pay $5 and the seniors only $5.50 for their copies. Barbara McNicholl stated that she would like to hear from the student body about any suggestions they have concerning this dilemma. "Maybe the students can tell me . why they won't buy an AMNICOLA or how we can raise the number of subscriptions sold." If anyone has any views concerning the yearbook, please address all comments to Barbara McNicholl, Hollenback Hall, Wilkes College.

On several occasions, the Colonels were behind, yet they kept refusing to fold. Instead, the "Golden Horde" used thei~ outstanding physical condition to carry them to victory in the final minutes of the game. Wilkes received the opening kickoff but failed to move the ball. After an exchange of punts, Aggies Jim Foote threw a 37-yard pass to 9.8 speedster, Dan Guers for a tally . The PAT was good and DV had a 7-0 lead. This score held up 'til the end of the first period. The second stanza began as Delaware Valley 's· center made a bad snap on a punt attempt as Ratchford and Grandinetti recovered for Wilkes. The Colonels marched to the DV 14-yard line where a pass from Maze to Horan was slightly overth rown . On a crucial play, Jim Foote was "blitzed" and stopped by Tony Cardinale. Then the talented Foote , who is the leading punter in the conference, booted a 55-yard kick to Jones. Again the Wilkes offense sputtered and had to give up the ball. Blaum took a low pass from center and got off a 39-yard punt. The DV offense was thwarted by the defensive · efforts of our "G-men" - Galfcki, Graziano and Grandinetti. The Aggies punted and once more the "blue and gold" began to make yardage yet couldn't score against a tough 4-4-3 Aggie defense headed by linebacker Larry Eisenhardt. Dan Guers took the punt, shook a few tackles and raced 82 yards for the score as Wilkes now trailed 14-0. The Colonels took the kick and moved up field behind some great offensive blocks. Then, at the 47-yard line of Wilkes , a fumble was recovered by Delaware. The fired-up Aggie team began to advance the ball as if intent on slaughtering the local heroes. With a third down and 11 yards to go situation, Galicki intercepted a pass on his ow~ ten and rambled for 22 yards on some nifty open-field running . · The Colonels began a drive which was repeatedly halted by penalties. A pass interference call DV gave Blaum the chance to kick a 39=yard field goal which broke the existing record of 37 yards held jointly by Paul Purta and Dave Kaschak . It now seemed as though Wilkes was on the path to victory when DV completed a 50-yard pass play to set up a field goal try before halftime . A 40-yard try was short , but Wilkes was called for offsides and the 35-yard kick by Bracchi of DV was good making it 17-3 at halftime in favor of the Aggies. Wilkes bomb squad started the second half by kicking to Delaware Valley: The following plays featured bone-crushing tackles by Ashton and super-soph Grandinetti. The Colonels gained possession and started to roll on the ground with some yeoman ball carrying by Jim Yanora, who played his best game to date. Giberson continued to mix his plays well as the DV defense was "keying" on Yeager. (The flashy Catawissa star had his usual great game and fulfilled my prediction of two touchdowns.) Giberson then unloaded a 43-yard toss to premier receiver Bill Horan for a TD. The try for two failed, and Wilkes was down by a 17-9 margin. After the kickoff, the Aggies decided to test the secondary with passes. Hillard intercepted a pass at the DV 16-yard line. Two plays later, Yeager took a pitchout into the endzone on a well-executed end sweep. Following the kickoff, the stout defense held the DV offense at bay and forced a punt. The Colonels got the ball on their own 15 and, to the horror of the partisan crowd, the Aggies recovered another fumbled handoff. The fumble set up a crucial series for the Colonels who had to call upon their vaunted defense to quell the threat . Cardinale stopped the first-down play at the line of scrimmage. The next two rushes were stopped by Ashton and Galicki. This set up a fourth -down- and-inches play. Wilkes stopped the play for a one-yard loss and got the ball back. The third quarter ended with the score now DV 17, Wilkes 15. Delaware Valley began the last period with an end-around play that was stopped for a loss by Pavill and Ashton. Lightning struck again as Foote passed a 42-yarder to Glenn for a score . The PAT was good and DV now had a 23-15 lead. Another team would now be ready to concede defeat after this tough break - but not Wilkes. The Colonels displayed talent, fortitude and PRIDE., The valiant efforts of the Golden Horde· were viewed in awe by Ithaca scouts attending the game. Wtlkes struck back on its next series with a beautifully executed pass play from Giberson to Horan covering 73 yards for a score . After the PAT failed, Wtlkes trailed 23-21 with seven minutes left in the game. The Colonel defense putting the stops on the Delaware Valley running game. Spotlighting TONY CARDINALE by Raymond McNulty If you happen to attend a Wilkes football game, take the time to watch No. 55, Tony Cardinale , and you will be treated to a display of skill and brute strength that is as subtle as that of a wild bull elephant.

The biggest thrill- for: Tony: "being elected as captain of the 1971 Wilkes Football Team." Tony has lettered for four years and started in three of them as an inside linebacker in the Wilkes 4-4-3 defense. "Mr. Inside" calls the defensive signals and rates the recognition of formations as the hardest aspect of being a linebacker; however, Tony says he really enjoys trying to second-guess the opposing quarterback. I think he forgot to add that he seldom guesses wrong! The talent of the senior from Totowa , NJ., is not limited to just the football field; Tony lettered in lacrosse last year. As a high school athlete he was All-Conference , All-County in football as well as Heavyweight District wrestling champion. Head Coach Rollie Schmidt collected his 50th win as Wilkes mentor when the Colonels defeated Delaware Valley 35-30. A challenge for the bold!

I ---------~by Steve Jones _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Grandmothers are generally noted for their infallible wisdom . One of my granny's favorite sayings is, "All that you do boys, do with your i.-:1ight ; things done by halves, boys, are never done right." Sorry , Grandma, but Colonel power dictates otherwise. Saturday afternoon the Colonels, ranked tenth in the nation in total defense, ranked fifth in polling for the Lambert Trophy and possessing the eighth leading rusher in the nation in the person of Ted Yeager, could do nothing right for one half a ball game. Things appeared grim indeed with the Colonels on the short end of a 17-3 score at the half, their only points coming via a Wilkes record-breaking 39-yard field goal by freshman Terry Blaum. Even radio station WBRE's Wilkes football announcers were - pessimistic about the outcome, commenting on the Wilkes lack of resiliency or "bounce-back" ability in previous seasons. But the Colonels had no misgivings about their abilities, despite being bottled up on the first half. Both the offense and defense came alive in the game's vesper portion with the cheering Colonel fans contributing to the team's momentum. Highlights of the Blue and Gold second half surge were a crucial interception by Ron Hillard, a tremendous goal line stand by the defensive "Golden Hoarde ," a 33-yard TD burst by Ted Yeager and two long scoring strikes from Jeff Giberson to Bill Horan. But the straw that broke the camel's bad~ was an ultra-electrifying 75-yard punt 'return by Garf Jones that gave the Colonels the lead for the first time, a lead they never relinquished . The Colonels' defense was burned for 307 yards in the air but held the Aggies to minus five yards rushing. Once again Wilkes forced the advantage in tum overs with the Colonels losing the ball only three times to fumbles and interceptions while Delaware Valley gave up the pigskin five times. The Schmidt defense will have their work really cut out for them this week with Ithaca featuring quarterback Doug Campbell who is notorious for his scrambling antics and is less than 300 yards short of rushing for 2000 yards in his career. Ithaca's been a thorn in the Colonel ;ide in their last two confrontations, with Ithaca first snapping the Blue-Gold 32-game win streak, and then last year downing the Colonels before the homefolk at Homecoming. This should give the Schmidt gang plenty of incentive for revenge . · Elsewhere on the sports front , Coach Tom Rokita's soccer team is making believers out of those teams and critics who labeled them as "not a serious contender" for the MAC championship. Chip Eaton, Ed Garabedian , George Bene Hoane,. Bob Linaberry and Gary Mocha just to name a few , are doing a super job that is reflected by the Colonels 5-1 (Continued on Page 12) season's record. Toughest opponent remaining on the Wilkes schedule is Elizabethtown where a Colonel victory could well spell "championship" fo r, the hooters. HA RRIERs GA I N wI N Slate At 5-1 by Jim Godlewski The Wilkes College Boaters continued their winning ways by gaining victories over the Mules of Muhlenberg, 3-1 , on Wednesday and the Warriors of Lycoming, 3-2, on Saturday . The victories brought the Wilkster record to 5-1 and gives them strong possibility of capturing Middle Atlantic Conference title hopes. · Leading the way for the Colonels against Muhlenberg were Ed Garabedian , Gary Mocha and Stellius Patokias. With goals coming via 19 :41 of the first quarter and 21 :00 and 12:29 of the second qurater, the Blue and Gold had no trouble securing victory No. 4. Chip Eaton and Jerry Blade combined for 23 saves plus some all-out effort by the whole squad proved to be the decisive factor. On Saturday the hooters traveled to Williamsport to meet a tough Lycoming squad. With both teams getting blanked in the first quarter, Wilkes came storming back by scoring goals in 13:45 and 14:47 of the second quarter. Lycoming generated a score with 16:08 of the second quarter by Ed Garabedian and Stellius Patkias respectively to give the Colonels a lead which they never relinquished. George Bene-Hoane continued his fine play by blasting a score in 18:21 of the fourth quarter. Highlights showed Chip Eaton registering eight saves, Gridiron Guesses by Raymond McNulty Wilkes To Edge Ithaca Ithaca gets the first-hand opportunity to solve the riddle - What's tougher to crack than diamonds and Fort Knox? Answer - the Wilkes College defense. It was Ithaca who snapped the 3 2-game win streak of the Colonels and also conquered our squad last year by a 25-21 margin. The Bombers of Ithaca feature 6'2" 205-lb . Doug Campbell, regarded as one L the best running quarterbacks in the East. Don't bother to shed any tears for Wilkes. The Colonels will counter with Ted Yeager , the senior 7 scatback who is constantly breaki ng his own records, and the offensive 1 line which is just starting to jell as a unit. The "educated" toe of Blaum could prove to be decisive in the Wilkes campaign for the Lambert bowl. ' Juniata To Defeat Lycomi ng In a battle of "has-beens" the Juniata team seems ready to avenge last year's 29-14 loss.

Wilkes had the lead of 29-23 . On their next possession, Yeager, the Wilkes All-American followed blocks· by Horan and Yanora to race 33 yards into paydirt.

Commenting on the game, Coach Foster stated that it was one of the first times that unity was displayed by the Colonelettes. Attention would be given to goalie, Laraine Mancuso for her defensive saves and clears. :-.••-----------------------------------------------------------.. Freighter Travel-Letter P.O.

EXPANSION KEY WORD SG Considers FOR NEW PROGRAM New Changes by Pat Moran An interview this week with Mr. Michael Barone and Mr. Warren ~eArment, members of the now dissolved ad hoc comm ittee on teacher recognition and effectiveness, unveiled several points they felt had not been clearly pointed out or previously stressed. One of the major issues is that this committee, when appointed , will not be solely concerned with that eventuaJJy more "faculty evaluation." Its objectives meant students, more faculty , or possibly are varied and cover a wide range of possibilities. Among the things that members of the administration and the committee possibly will department chairme n also will be consider are such programs as included who as of now will not be team-teaching, seminars, on the initial committee. The committee, which will be self-evaluation and an orientation decided upon at the faculty program designed especially for new faculty members coming to meeting on November 2, will not be specifically designed to decide the Wilkes. Both faculty members stressed fate of faculty members, but in the fact that labeling .the program time it will have some affect. The "faculty evaluation" was much too program , when formally set up, will narrow. They pointed out that by be able to give the individual refe rring to it by its correct title, a teacher a better chance to evaluate commit tee on teacher recognition himself through group discussions, and effectiveness, implies that it an exchanging of ideas with h is will not be a rigid program but one . peers and the students and through use of audio-visual designed basicaJly to explo re possible different aspects of the educational equipment and questionnaires.

Homecoming Activities listed C:H:URC:H: SER -VICE For the first time, the Wilkes CoJlege Alumni Homecoming will present at Ecumenical Church Service at 11 a.m., Sunday, October 3 l, at the Center of Perfo rming Arts.

The entire Wilkes family - student s, fac ulty, ad ministra tion - are invited and are welcome to attend a coffee h our at the College Commo ns immedia tely after the service . In Calendar by Randy Steele Student Government recently discussed the possibility of changing the college schedule in order to attain earlier dismissals for the semester break and summer vacation. Lee Auerbach and Mike Barski set up an arbitrary schedule in which registration and classes would commence around the middle of August. Final exams would follow a week of vacat ion and be over by mid-December. Tony Cardinale argued that the early start would interfere with some of the professors' summer classes. He further stated that some students needed the extra couple weeks to fulfill employme nt obligations. Jim Loftu s felt that the schedule should consider work commitments but not necessarily adjust itself to them. Bob Linaberry suggested that registration fo r the faJJ semester be done prior to summer re cess in o rder to attempt to get classes star ted sooner. A more radical idea to change the coJJege schedule revolved around the four semester per year co nce pt to which Auerbach replied , "In my past experience with the slow speed in which Wilkes moves, it's better to get your foot in th e door first and work from there." Later, Howie Tune tabled the discussion to be conside re d at a future date . Auerbach targeted the discussion towa rd the possibility that Student ]overnment and !DC each ·obtami nt columns in the Beacon to double-check the reporting of the meetings.

(Continued on page 8) �October 21, 1971 THE BEACON Page 2, 1971 Editorially Speaking Con~ert Confusion. In an effort to clear up the confusion concerning the methods of attaining groups for concerts, Student Government President Howie Tune was contacted and asked explain _the procedures. We also asked Mr. Tune if it was possible to allow the student body a vote in the final selection of the group. The following information is the result of that conversation: to The Wilkes College Social Events Committee works through a booking agency in New York when they contract groups to appear at the College. We contact the agency, and they send a list of groups who will be in the area on the date we w ill hold the concert and the approximate cost of each group. Booking for the Homecoming Concert takes place in August, and the decision must be made as quickly as possible. If a list of choices were sent out to the student body, and the decision was postponed · until the votes were in, the group might already have been booked by another college. The Social Events Committee is responsible for the final selection of the group. This year the committee consists of Chairman, Mike Mariani, Rich Lukesh, and Judy Walsh. Mariani stated t.hat The Byrds were not the first choice of the committee, but were the only group who would be in the area and whose price was reasonable enough. Some students have stated that if we were willing to pay more money, we could attract a larger, better-known group; one which wou Id please a greater majority of the student body. As the Activity Proposal now stands, it is not possible to charge Wilkes College students for any concert sponsored by Student Government because that money is taken from the Activity Fee. The concerts are also held in the Wilkes Gymnasium, which has a limited space capacity; therefore the money made by selling tickets to people outside the college is not sufficient to cover expenses. We have held concerts in the Kingston Armory, but this presents a problem. The acoustics in the Armory are very poor, and oollege concerts are also frowned upon because of the damages which have occured in the past. Last year Canned Heat complained to the Musicians Union about the acoustics, and the union published an article concerning undesirable facilities in a newsletter which most musicians read . Consequently, we are not exactly the most popular college around as far as the musical scene is concerned. Tune stated that any student interested in submitting names of possible groups which · he would like to see should feel free to contact any member of Student Government. It is our hope that students will now understand the procedures and the problems which the Social Events Committee works with when the selection of groups is considered. Mutual Respect The library is a place to obtain information, but one other important function of the library is a quiet and often much-welcomed place to study. So why can't students study there? One of the main problems has been previously stated - a lack of consideration on the part of fellow students. But a more prominent problem is the lack of available hours in which to complete that study. Students who live in dorms will realize the difficulty often encountered when one attempts to study in a dorm, especially with open housing over the weekends. Able to leap tall building bills with a single bound? Maybe with a little help. ' It's impossible to ask fellow dorm students to give up their weekends of relaxation simply because one individual wants or has to study. The only possible solution would be the library and that isn't open on a Friday or Saturday evening or even late on a weekday. Tickets for the Byrds and Eric Anderson Concert will be available at the bookstore through Wednesday , October 27 , for Wilkes College students and their dates. Tickets for people other th~n Wilkes students As if this isn't bad enough, those students and their dates will be on sale October 28 and 29 in the Bookstore.

Financial problems often force students to procure employment during the school year, limiting their study time. The library hours · impose a further limitation. These students are paying tuition the same as everyone else.

The present junior class was the last group to be hazed .

I would like to extend my thanks for this opportunity to appeal to all newly registered voters to come out and support the candidate of their choice." The duty of the Recorder of Deeds, as explained to our reporter, is to record the transfer of realty, maintain an account on all fees colle,eted and finally aid lawyers (when called upon) to "search" property deeds. The office of Recorder of Deeds is not sponsored by the taxpayers money ; instead it is self-sustaining. When a person buys land, he pays a fee , it ·rs this fee which is utilized to financially support the office. Last year, the local Recorder of Deeds handled slightly over one million dollars in realty transfers and recording fees. After this money was used to pay salaries, and the overhead was paid, an excess of $30,000 was turned over to the county . While in office, the Pittston Democrat, has initiated several innovations. In 1957, he was credited with saving Luzerne County approximately $31,000 through the usage of a copying machine which he invented . The Wilkes-Barre evening paper featured an article and picture attesting to this fact. In 1962, Castellino started to use the Xerox machine before any other county and this resulted in the county saving about $5,000 per month. Now Castellino proposes the use of an electronic recording system which will make books and IBM cards obsolete . This system would include a TV receiving set in which a person could push buttons and view all the data he seeks in a manner similar to closed circuit TV . The system could be shared by all the offices in the Court House complex. Castellino has been employed at the Court House for a period of 27 years in various capacities with a two year interruption due to the military service in World War II as a U. S. Navy Petty Officer. During the years 1964-67 Castellino served as Chief Deputy Prothonotary and has been the Recorder of Deeds for_ the past four years. A list of clubs and organizations to which Mr. Castellino is currently an active member are as follow: past president , 20 years member of the Greater Pittston Lions Club; member of the board of directors of the Pittston Ambulance Association; member of the Moose Lodge; president of the Montedoro · Society (a Pittston social club); and vice-president of the Pennsylvania Recorders of Deeds Association, a group consisting of 67 men (one man per county).

It's the basic tendency of college students, particularly if they attend school away from home, to take their mothers for granted . Within a short time after the beginning of the school year , letters from school begin to dwindle. Shortly they become extinct. The letters from the home front become more and more frequent. After the first month, the letters come complete with stamps for the intended answers. If those subtle warnings are not heeded, the letters come with a stamped, self-addressed envelope included. A final but drastic step, and one that seldom fails, is for Mom to include a letter complete with questions and spaces either to fill in the blanks or check the appropriate resonse. Either way the effort on the part of the student is minimal. But do you think a typical student will take advantage of the opportunity for a ready-made Jetter? No , because it's too much trouble for him to walk to the mail box (which is directly on the way to the cafeteria). Come on, cut Mom a break, at least answer the fill-in-the blank Jetter. I mu st admit, certain students do make that extra little effort to write, only they forget to mail the Jetter which was carefully placed in a Lit book so as not to be forgotten. Consequently, the letter gets home in time for Christmas vacation, hand delivered. Moms worry - yea, they do . Not many students realize just how much they worry. The standard reply from Mothers who have students in college is "see that grey hair, it was a Christmas present from Billy and Mary." It's great to know that students do think of their Mothers especially around Christmas time. One of the best parts of going away to school is receiving those care packages from home , courtesy of Mom or Grandma . After all , no one should have to put up with caf food every day . The day a care package arrives in any given dorm is like watching vultures swarm around waiting for the prey to die. The lucky (?) receiver is immediately summoned to his room and everyone else in the dorm waits for the grand opening. But how many Mothers actually receive a short note of thanks for all the trouble and effort put into the packing and mailing of that package'1 I'd venture to say not many. But Mom still doesn't give in or take offense. After all, her son or daughter is busy going to classes and taking all those rought exams, spending all his spare time studying. But what about all that time wasted over a cup of coffee or a soda in the Commons? It doesn't take Jong to say thank you! Vacations are an important part of any college career.

Genevieve's father, Marcel Brenac, a young patriot active in underground resistance, was . mortally wounded by a German patrol duing a demolition mission in 1944 . Her adoption by the Wilkes sorority assured her regular food, shoes and clothing, necessary medical care and a small cash grant to her grandmother each month for a full year. According to TDR's written history, the object of the sorority is to "give the women of the college an opportunity to ptan and direct social activities on the campus and to assist in a larger program of social training that will reach and include every student."

The problem of course, stems from the questionable format under which the station will operate. An article appearing in last week's BEACON (page 3) did not present a shedule, but offered a vague sketch of what programing will be forthcoming on WCLH/FM. The article however, did not search out the whys, and what this column is about to present will not answer all the questions and/or end all the gripes. It will however, shed a little light on why WCLH/FM is not going to be a hard rock station . WCLH/FM isn't going to rock the boat with the FCC before it gets its feet wet. The fact of the matter is , the opposition garnered against rock _.pmsic on the part of the administration is not what those students, including myself had believed it to be. The problem is, that after sinking literally thousands of hours of work into getting a radio station, the administration, led by Dr. Cox and Dr. Berg (and who can blame them), simply isn't willing to risk losing its FCC license two weeks after gaining it. The Federal Communication Commission, granted Wilkes College a 1dio station under the stipulation that its programing would be of an iucational format. Wilkes could easily turn around and play rock music welve hours a day, seven days a week, and WCLH/FM would find itself off -. lhe air to no one's benefit, in say two weeks. The problems would arise when commercial stations on the AM band (examples: WARM, WILK, WBAX) would complain to the FCC about an FM class C station, licensed under the stipulation that programming would be educational, was raiding their listening audience with uninterupted contemporary music. If the FCC found the charge to be factual, Wilkes would be subject to either a huge fine or its license would be revoked. Revocation would leave the school with more than $50,000 worth of useless equipment. A point often brought up in the argument for more rock programming is the King's College station WRKC and its heavy use of rock broadcasting. In such an argument there are important differences which cannot be overlooked. King's has a broadcasting power of 10 watts which falls far short of the 125 watts to be employed by WCLH. King's also broadcasts from an antenna perched atop Holy Cross Dormitory on South Franklin Street. WCLH will have its transmitting antenna on Mountaintop. It is easy to see that local AM stations give King's much leeway due to its rather small listening audience.However, when a class C non profit station, with a listening audience encompassing a radius of better than 50 miles, starts competing with licensed commercial companies, the FCC will hear the complaints loud and clear. And one can be assured that Wilkes we may well wind up with no station at all.

In conj unction with the activities of the Clean Environment Committee of Wilkes College, Peter T. Chokola has been invited to speak at the Center For The Performing Arts on Tuesday. His general program will include comments on pollution and recycling, and the topic will be "Ban the Can." Chokola , president of the Chokola Beverage Company of Wilkes-Barre, is a native of this area and is looking forward to acquainting the young people of this region with the points of his campaign against pollution. He has been working on the problems that non-returnable bottles and cans have created for our environment. The drive towards throw-aways, he points out, has not been due to public demand but merely to the selfishness of big business. By presenting his complaints directly to the legislators as well as the public, Pete Chokola has made tremendous progress for his cause. The Committee itself is also concerned about the crisis the use of these non-returnable has caused. They have initiated a Recycling Committee within the club to organize and publicize their own "Ban the Can" program on campus. A recycling center will be constructed and should be ready for use before the end of November. What is needed, though, is the complete co-operation of everyone at Wilkes- students and faculty. Two other committees have been set up within the club. The News Committee will function as a publicity valve for the club's activities. Their job will be to write articles for the Beacon as well as the local papers, to publish the ecology newsletter as a service of the club and to arrange their program for the college radio station. The Luzerne Lackawanna City Committee for Clean Air is co-operating with the Investigating Committee in locating, probing and prosecuting manufacturers who have been reported as polluters of the air and water in our region . . The club has definitely made vast progress since its inception last year, but the problem has now become one of manpower rather Jack of worthy projects. If anyone on campus is interested in any one of the committees or has any desire to become active in pollution control , please watch for the notices that will be posted before each meeting or contact Mark Chamberlain, president of the club . FOR UP-TO-THE-MINU TE NEWS ON THE M USIC SCENE Read Joe Middleton In The Wyom ing Vall ey Observer • 911 • Rated X College yearbooks yearly nearly die of dreariness when they're issued every June. It's refreshing to see one that's not the run o"f the paper mill - one without pictures of sorority sisters and their brothers crammed onto a divan, quarter-,half-and full-backs in their varsity drag, and beauty queens with shining teeth and pimpleless complexions. But last June, along came "Gumbo," a product of Louisiana State University and one of the first X- rated yearbooks. "Gumbo" got itself into producing an honest representation ofcampus life. Maybe she was too honest. Included in the book was a photograph of a red , white and blue marijuana cigarette; a series of satires on such sanctions as motherhood, and four photos of nudes taken fo art classes, which changed the book's rating from R to X. The State Legislature , however , wasn't so pleased . A resolution of disapproval was passed. Said one legislator, who once attacked the teaching of Shakespeare in the school system, "I've never seen more nasty pictures. A student cannot show it to his little brothers and sisters." And the LSU student- body president retorted , "Anyone who thinks that book has pornographic value hasn't seen very much good pornography." "Gumbo" follows an inevitable student press pattern. Four years ago, campus papers ran what were labeled "Obscene" words, back when the watchword, "telling it like it is," was teUing it as it was. Now it seems that yearbooks have gotten in the picture by getting in the pictures of nude bodies, student smoking habits and other aspects of life on campus. Maybe one provocative picture is worth a thousand four- letter words. Dale, Sigmund, Emily and Tom In a book entitled "Hitchhiker's Handbook, " author Tom Grimm gives hints on how to hitch your way cross- country, or just cross- street; With his suggestions, Grimm has changed hitchhiking from just another all- thumbs mode of getting a lift into an art form . Here are some of his suggestions: Look the driver in the eye. "Eye- to- eye contact makes him feel uneasy about driving past you." Use a designation sign instead of your thumb. Grimm says this attracts attention and gives the driver some information. He also suggests writing "Help" or "I Give Green Stamps" on your sign or just holding it upside down. Other Grimm hints include using a huge, fake rubber thumb to attract attention, traveling with a guy for protection if you're a girl, and having Thank You cards printed with your name and address engraved on them.

The Colonels are favored since Juniata downed Lycoming by only a 17-0 score · last week while our Colonels trimmed them 29-0. Last week the Ithacan Blue Bombers dealt Wilkes its first loss of the year. Wilkes drew first blood, striking pay dirt on a three play 47 yard drive that was capped by a 12 yard Jeff Giberson bootleg after Giberson had hit split end Dan Walters with a 35 yard bomb. Moments later the Colonels notched another score , this time driving 52 yards with another key pass to Walters and followed by Giberson's one yard sn~ ak into the end zone . The score was now 14-0 and visions of a Colonel cakewalk filled most onlookers minds. But then the Ithacan offense began penetrating the Colonel defense as if it were hot chocolate , and they were ·marshmallows. Quarterback Doug Campbell hit his flankerback Jim Moresco for one TD and then ground out another one-to have the score knotted at the half. In the third quarter the Blue Bo mb e r offense continued relentlessly and took charge of a 21-14 lead. Bur Wilkes retaliated. early in the final canto when Bob Ozgar popped over from the two to redu ce the lead . to 21-20 (PATwas blocked) . Wilkes was then beset by fumble s and a bl ocked punt and before they could regain their momentum, tthaca commanded a 34-20 lead , with offensive backs Bill Kleinelder and Mike Welsh leading the way in a running attack that collected 298 net yards against the Colonel defense. Giberson , who was 14 for 23 for 186 yards, howeve r, directed the Coi onels to another tally with halfback Ted Yeager galloping 16 yard s for the score.

In the same meet, the Wilkesm an dropped a 15-44 decision to a strong Delaware Valley team in Doylestown , Pa. In leading the effort versus both Delaware Valley and Leban oft Valley , Horning toured the 4.6 mile course in 25 : 13. He was followed by Duane Sadvary in 25: 14, Bruce Davis 25:32, Joe Miraglia 25:36, Jim Godlewski 26:52 , and Don Nash 27:45 . The Doylestown course measured 4 .6 miles and was the shortest distance the Colonels will compete at this season. Consisting of a sprint through the middle of the campus which took the heart out of the majority of the starters, the most difficult portion of the couJse was a quarter mile hill. It was here that Delaware Valley won the race and Wilkes finished second . The most di5mal aspect of the race surprisingly occurred before , rather than during the event. The Colonel Harriers arrived in Doylestown about half an hou r late. They were then required to suit up as quickly as possible , shown the course, and given only three minutes to warm up . _ A questionable display of sportsmanlike conduct on the par t of race officials was in evidence as the meet was going to begin at 4 : 15 regardless of whether or notopposing teams were read y. Compare this to a football game where a team walks out of its locker room door directly onto the field and commences battle. All athletes need an opportunity to warm up: Wilkes College was not afforded this opportunity at Delaware Valley. Perhaps we'd better remember this the next time Delaware Valley visits Wilkes-Barre. The Harriers now stand at 2-3, a fine mark for an inaugural sp'o rt. Upcoming meets with Susquehanna, Harpus, and Ithaca should put the Colonels to a severe test.

Too often , right? In victory it was that old Colonel "Pride and Potse," not the breaks of the game or any one individual superplay that buoyed them past their opponent. In defeat it was the halo of Wilkes "Pride and Poise" that not only negated the loss, but put to shame the victors who had dared to defeat the only real "good guys" east of the International Dateline. It didn't matter who we played - it could have been a team that featured Abe Lincoln, Jesus Christ, and Paul Revere ( who incidentally doesn't play for the Oakland Raiders) in the offensive backfield, and Neil Armstrong and Santa Claus on defense or how big a score they ran up against us, or vice..:.versa; we "out- Prided" and "out-Poised" them all. It's almost nauseating to see sports writers exploiting our gridders meaningful motto as a consolation for defeat. They often treat it as a football heirloom peculiar only to Wilkes College Grid Teams, which is nonsense. But it is no myth that time and again the Colonels have exhibited a • quality of tenacity that has earned them the respect of both friend and foe. Last Saturday was one of those times. It's not my intention here to make excuses for the Joss. "Almosts,""ifs," "ands," amd "buts," are shipped to their gridiron graveyard once that final gun sounds. Statistically, a loss is a loss is a loss is a loss; no two ways about it. And that was the case Saturday. The Ithaca offense moved the Colonel defense at least as effectively, and almost as far as did the team bus in transporting the Colonels to the game. And the squad will have to undergo a "fumblectomy" if they expect to win against Juniata, since "fumblitis" virtually killed them last week. ' But their amazing quality, call it "Pride and Poise," stubborness, or whatever you wish, was no more evident than mid-way through the fourth quarter when the Blue and Gold, who'd been in tile thick of things up until then, found .themselves trailing by three TD's. They could have rolled over, raised the white flag, and wilted. It wasn't as though they trailed 55-0 and had to score to save themselves from being disgraced. They'd played a pretty good game and now virtually all hope had vanished. 1ea/JJAiJU/• . C'd G---L... J: . . C,, TIE ROYALS, RIP STEVENS ~ (J/WJJ~ The Philadelphia native, or "Garabedian the Armenian ," as he is affectionately known, has supplied plenty of offensive thrust for coach Tom Rokitas's soccer team this year. To date he's tallied a team high nine goals and is largely responsible for the Blue and Gold's 6-1-1 record which has them along ; with Philadelphia Textile, perched atop the MAC standings.

Ed's goal for the season is for Wilkes to finish number one. His Dreams are not inconceivable since co-front runner Philadelphia Textile has scheduled a minimum of MAC tilts while the Blue and Gold will face the maximum number of foes . This gives Wilkes the chance to close the season with .a higher percentage of MAC wins. Another magic ingredient in Ed's and the · Colonel's possessions is spirit. Garabedian and his roomate, halfback Bill Killeen, frequently engage in exchanges of friendly barbs and their contagious spunk The Wilkes College Boaters kept their MAC title hopes alive by tying the Royals of Scranton 3-3 and defeating Stevens Tech 2-0. If -the Colonels can win the rest of their schedule they could achieve such an honor. But to accomplish such a feat, the Gold and Blue must beat Elizebethtown in the finale. The Blue Jays, as Elizabethto~n · is sometimes called, defeated Philedelphia Textile who were MAC champs last season. Philadelphia in turn defeated Wilkes 2-t, on Parents Day. : ,. Pacing the Colonels in the Steven Tech contest was junior Ed Garabedian and senior Rich Combellack, Garabedian has nine goals for tile season along with teammate George Bene- Hoane. Exhibited . in the contest was some fine defensive play by Ed Weber, Bob Linaberry, and Chip Eaton. They will carry tlleir 6-1-1 record against tough and always troublesome Kutztown and Wagner Colleges. ' In these contests Garabedian and Bene-H 0 ane will be zeroing in on the Wilkes all time record for number of goals scored during one season.

TOOLE "I feel the present district attorney made a great mistake in seizing the film, 'I am Curious Yellow' and, as a result, the office in question received a poor image in the eyes of the public." These were the words of Democratic candidate , Patrick J. Toole, who expressed his belief in self-imposed censorship by the film industry . While stating that no specific issue was at stake, Mr. Toole revealed his displeasure with the fact that there has been no final conviction of a drug pusher in the past four years! Furthermore , he felt that more emphasis should be placed in the area of drug abuse and not strip mining. Attorney Toole's legal adivitics include serving as law clerk to Justice Benjamin R. Jones of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 1960- 1961. Attorney Toole was a member of the Executive Committee of the Luze.i;nc County Bar Association, 1964-65 ; assistant District Attorney of Luzerne County, I 968; solici tor for the Wilkes-Bar re School District and is a partner in the legal firm of Winkler, Danoff, Lubin, and Toole . The two-year vete ran of military service stated his intention of changing bail procedure and eliminating some of the backlog in the scheduling of criminal trials. He also mentioned his de sire to institute the philosophical approach of prosecution. While se rving as Associate Editor, Toole and the late Judge Jacob J . Schiffman , wrote an article at Temple University 011 "Detention Damages in Eminent Domain Proceedings" which was published in the Dickinson Law Review. He has been very active in community activities as member of the Board of Directors of the following: St. Theresa's Little League, Luzerne County Child Welfare Advisory Board, Presidents Council of King's College; Luzerne County Legal Aid· Society; and South Wilkes-Barre Football for Buy s, Inc. Patrick Toole, son of the Jatc Senator Patrick Toole, graduated from St. Mary's in Wilkes-Barre ( I95 J ), froi;i 1 King's College with a B.A. ( J 957) , and was an honor graduate from Temple University School of Law , L.L.B. degree (1960).

STUDENT GOVERNMENT (From page 1) be a convenient means of communicating with the student body. Ju Ann Gomer, managing editor of the Beacon. stated that there has always been cha nnel s open in the paper for Student Government and IDC in which they could express their views. Also, in many instances, enough news si mply doesn't exist between Student Government and JDC to justify weekly columns. Tune turned the meeting's attention to the immediate need of getting appli cations out fo r student representatives for the Faculty Evaluation Comm ittee. He asked that they be placed in the library and bookstore. All applicants will be reviewed and rated by the Executive Council and approved by Dr. Michelini. Attcnion was next spotligh ted by Tune upon th e problem of the broken glass in the main bulletin board next to the cafeteria and suggested usi ng Jock s. Cardinale failed to see how Jocks would keep the glass from being broken and was against the suggestion. Auerbach re-focused the discussion to the feasibility of se tting up a publicity box near the bulletin boa rd in which material to be posted would be inserted . The general consensu~ was that the box would be stuffed withgum-wrappers and other such garbage , thereby serving little purpose . Student Government also granted requests for funds to the Chorus , Women's Activity Asso ciation and Polar Bears of $ 150, $125 and $125, respectively. Voting procedures were not discussed, but are to be a topic of the next meeting. ( From page 1) Ross Pia zza, so n of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Piazza, 99 N . Pion eer Avenue.

This drive, which is held twice a year , once in the fall and again in the spring, will be operating between the hours of 9 :30 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. today . Blood donated will go to the Northeastern Pennsylvania Blood Bank of the American Red Cross, Statistics volunteered by Dean requests for blood, however, . are the Wilkes-Barre George Ralston indicate that the made from average .amount of blood donated community and by commuting at each drive is approximately 300 students. The blood drive needs pints. It.is expected that only about more support from area students. Two myths which seem to 400 pin ts will be donated today . According to Dean Ralston, this discourage students from donating isn't much considering the number are first, that after students donate of people at Wilkes. The faculty , their blood, people still have to pay Administration and full time for it when it is needed. This · is students combined number close to quite untrue. The blood is free to 2,830 people. If the expected 400 anyone who needs it. One pints are donated, an end result · stipulation however , is that the could be interpreted as donation by blood must be replaced, either by one out of every seven members of the individual at a later date or by a the Wilkes community. According friend. The second misconception is to Ralston , we should be donating at least 600 pints; we are giving that the blood given is used in Viet only about 50 per cent of what we Nam. Again, this is false. Every pint of blood donated is used in could be giving. Sixty to seventy per cent of the northeastern Pennsylvania.

This means twice as much blood. by Pat Moran An interview this past week with Dr. Eugene S. Farley , Chanc;ellor of Wilk.es College, prov~ded: some information on the progress of the New Learning Center. The final goal of the ,project, termed "Forward Thrust," is $5,860,000. As of now, $3,100,000 of the set goal has been reached. The funds are secured mainly by approaching various groups · and especially by the support and co-operation of friends of the college. Dr. Farley explained that the Center is being constructed in phases with the exterior . and interior of the first and second levels comprising the initial phase. Until the remaining money is secured the building of the third and fourth levels will be delayed, along with the construction of the lecture hall. It is hoped that the goal will be reached as soon as possible because the Center will house very important areas such as the Fine Arts, Environment~! Sciences and the Electronics and Materials Engineering departments. The Learning Center will also be instrumental in the organizing and future housing of the program now being set up with Hahnemann Hospital. Opens Tonight Wilkes College is celebrating its 25th anniversary in style as fall homecoming activities get underway tonight.

I �Editorially Speaking Welcome Alumni Once again the fall homecoming spirit has hit Wilkes College and what kind of a homecoming would it be without the official welcome to the alumni. This year's activities promise to be bigger and better than ever. How can they help but be exciting with the huge amount of effort put in by all concerned? Clubs and dormitories convey the welcome to our alumni through special displays. The Beacon staff would like to do its party by dedicating this special issue to the members of the previous classes who have done so very much to make Wilkes what it is today. As you walk through the campus, on these special tours, you're bound to notice a great deal of change. There's a big hole on South River Street where Barre, Butler, Ashley, Warner and Dennison Halls once stood. These and many other buildings like them probably contained the memories of thousands of students like you who have passed through their doors. Yet new memories are being passed on to future classes in newer and more efficient buildings. Yes, Wilkes has changed, and believe it or not, you have been a very intricate part of that change. For it ij only thro~gh the cooperative efforts of a majority that any true success can be obtained. Yet, as you've probably discovered by now, there are some things that never change in a college career. As you walk along the campus, you'll come across many undergraduates sharing some of the very same activities you did the thrill of a well-executed football game, the dorm parties and the homecoming displays. Yes, homecoming is a very special event. It's a time for recalling the past. But more important, it's a time for looking to the future and attainment of vour own goals. Our Heritage? Once upon a time In the land of hush-a-buy, They came across a sort of box Bound up with chains and locked with locks And Labeled: "Kindly do not touch - It's War." The decree was issued round about All with a flourish and a shout And a gayly colored mascot tripping lightly on the floor: "Don't fiddle with this deadly box, Or break the chains, or pick the locks, And please don't ever play about with War." . Well, children understood. Children happeneto be good, And they were just as good about the time of Yore. They didn't try to pick the locks Or break into that deadly box. They never tried to play about with War. Mommies didn't either; sister, aunts or grannies neither, Cause they ' were quiet, and sweet and pretty in those wondrous days of Yore. Well, very much he same as now And not the ones to blame somehow For opening up that deadly box of War. But someone did. Someone battered in the lid And spilled the insides out across the floor. A sort of bouncy-bumping ball Made up of guns and flags and all the tears And horror and the ~death that goes with War, It bounced right out And went bashing all about And bumping into everything in store.

All it takes is wisdom. I'm absolutely sure That we could get it back into the box And bind the chains and lock the locks But no one seems to want to save the children anymore.

Mr. Buckley's viewpoint, and indeed the whole conservative party, is one of dangerous illogic and 1984 gobbleygook. Buckley stated that we should, "do away with social security and make it voluntary." He develops this by saying that those who would choose not to give to social security stand to make much more for their money through private investment. On the surface, this argument seems fair and acceptable. The only problem is that if those who could afford to drop out did , (the upper and middle class) the system could not hold out and those that are now able to survive solely oecause of Social Security, ( the old and Editor-in-chief Managing Editor · , News Editor . . .

Humphrey doesn't ring a bell with too man y of the students here at Wilkes. If that's so , it's a shame. Walter Humphrey was a giant among Texans. His long career - which began as a cub reporter back in the mid-l 920s and carried him to the editor's post he held fo r 40 y ears is one of the most remarkable in the history of Texas journalism . It was a career wh ich made him a national figure as well. . I would like to take time to._present an excerpt fro m Humphrey's article , " A Newspaperman's Love Affair." In it he explains why h e devo ted h is life to newswriting. And in a way , perhaps it also explains why a few of us spend every weekend and many hours during the week putting out a paper. I want to talk to you about a career. A way of life. A prof ession. I want to talk to you about the newspaper - about my love affair with my job. Forty y ears ago I went to the University of Co lorado to study law. The only activity that seemed open to m e as a freshman was the school newspaper. So I got on as a reporter. In my second week a story of mine was printed. Not exactly like I wro te it - but there it was. And I was the proudest guy on th e campus. Ifargot about the law. I was a newspaperman. Tha f's the way this profession of mine captures y oung men and women. It holds o ut its hand to anyone seeking excitement and adventure and leads him through a maze of wonderful experiences. I wish you could have been with me during the 35 years ofmy ody ssey to plain and strange places, hunting for news, prospecting for ideas, exploring avenues of service - meetif!g all those fascinating people who make th e world go ro und. I wish y ou could have been along on an interview with me 2 7 y ears ago. The woman I was interviewing could neither see nor hear nor speak. She was that remarkable woman, Helen Keller. Slowly , I asked her questions. She put her fingers to my lips and read what I asked. Her answers were a squeeze of the hand and gay, excited expressions that were like a burst ofglory. You might not have liked this but you could have walked with me down Death Row to talk to a man who would die at midn;ght, seeing along the way the despair of men who had killed and robbed. But we would have been alert that n;ght and gone back to the prison early, to see whathappens to a man when his life is spared an hour before it was to have been taken._ You would have seen a tough arrogant young man faint dead away in the joy of the news that "saved him. Years later I walked the same path again. There was no governor to save this I can remember his last words to me - "I didn't mean to do it." / iiave seen miracles happen and have had the supreme pleasure of by Randy Steele Student Government recently remarked on an IDC report in which the freshman orientation program would commence in June . A meeting was held with John Whitby, Dean of Admissions, and the feasibility of concentrating the academic portion of the program into a two day affair was examined. The incoming freshmen would meet with their appropriate advisor and division chairman and take any necessary tests and get the "feel" of the college in general. There would also be one day set aside in September to organize the freshmen and prepare them for classes. thoSe candidcites·· who -·relied On It was noted that about 600 working with the clubs on campus. · Apparently they wilrattempt to their popularity. students were committed to Wilkes write up activities and business in a The · $150 allocated to the by May.

Available immediately. Contact Dr. Leonard Brill, 646 Douglass, San Francisco 94114 SAN FRANCISCO-With a sigh of liberated relief, he dropped out. He hung up his. suit coat with patches, his pipe with matches, and donned beads, beard, embroidered denims and a bowling shirt he got at this auction. He moved into a tiny apartment, build bean bag chairs and · shelves on which to hang his Huxleys and Hemingways. He b'ecame a vegetarian, did Yoga on cushions when the sun rose, studied macrobiotics on cushions when it set. And, like instant Karma, the star became a chorus boy and that was that-the beginning of a beautiful self-indulgent life. That was over a year ago, when the well-read, well-bred Brooklyn-boy-turned; English-teacher (American and English Literature, Humanities, et al), 'dropped out to dropin to himself. Now, he says, moaning one of those academic moans, "I want to drop back in again. I'd like to find a job teaching somewhere. I miss students. But it's hard to drop in ... " And his voice trails off to the West Coast where he lives and he meekly looks down at his ragged t-shirt wishing, maybe?, it were a little tweedier. You know: with those terribly academic patches so he shouldn't wear his elbows out while learning on that podium. With memories of three years at the University of Minnesota, two years at Macalester College in St. Paul, "that awful year writing a disseration back in '67," and those two last years at Stanislaus College in Turlock, Calif., Leonard Brill, aging in at 35, is the drop6u t professor. It 's happening all over the country. And Brill (please call him Dr. Brill) is only one of many victims of a bad academic job market. Money is tight ; contracts aren't being renewed. profs take off to discover the Better Life. And even at your own campus, look around you: you just might notice that Professor - oh-what-was-his-name? - isn't there anymore. And he hasn't left to accept a Better Position at some elegant Eastern school. He just might be living in the hovel down the block. Leonard Brill is living in the hovel down the block. "I was disillusioned with the fact that decisions on education aren't made by the students and faculty. The people who are closest to education don't have any say about it. "And," he said, "I wanted a year - a very private year - for myself. I thought it might be a good time to get away from teaching and get perspective on myself and spend some time alone with myself. At first, I felt quite elated and liberated and free ... " And now? "Now I'm ready to go back to teaching because I feel that teaching is the most useful thing I can do . I miss the students. I think that students at college age are the most interesting. Their sense of their own potential is greatest at that point. It's that unfilled sense of usefulness that's the ~trongest goad I feel in wanting to return to teaching." But can a nice Jewish boy, well-studied in the finer things, leave the academic community, join the other World, and find real happiness? "I get up at 5 a.m. everyday," Brill said. ''Then I go over to the Zen Center and 'sit in the lotus position for 45 minutes. I work from 7 a.m. 'til 2 p.m. as a proof reader. It's no more hack work than reading student themes, except - " he said rather sadly, " - execept there aren't any students. But after going from tweeds to beads, Leonard Brill hasn't been fulfilled. He wants to go back to school. And he - the drop-out professor - is like the drop-out student. Both tire of the educational system and affect a deliberate liberation that often becomes dishabilitation. For Brill, that forced freedom become tedium, and academic unemployment become unenjoyment. But some good has come out of his self-imposed Sabbatical. "I have explored an education I have never explored, " he said . " I was always very tied to language - a head- consciousness that was bred in graduate school. And I wanted to explore new languages. Vegetarian cooking, Yoga, Zen, the guitar - they've all become new languages. But when the school year was over last June," he said, "I readized that I had spent a year not being in a classroom." · Leonard Brill - Dr. Leonard Brill - is looking for a job. He can teach English lit, humanities, and some otl).er subjects, too. And he can do light cleaning (no windows or floors).

This is true if we consider Fred Hampton and George Jackson to have been coddled. Coddled right in the back. Buckley is proud to say that Conservatives like to take time and study things, not push laws onto the public. Sounds like a regular Anarchist. Law and order if it affects me personally, to hell wid em', if it don't. When Buckley says take time with laws, he means take time on cracking down on car companies and preventing them from selling crappy cars. He means take time in anti-pollution laws, poverty, education, etc. Buckley's most vomitous statement though was something to the effect that people in our slums have no spirit. He also said along with that, as I spoke to him after the concert , that no one starves in this country who has the will not to. Perhaps his sophistry can answer what Dr. Arnold E. Shaefer of the HEW (Health, Education, and Welfare) said after his investigation of nutrition in America , "We have found more malnutrition than I ever expected to see in a society described as the best in the world." After all the studies that have been made and with all the undeniable facts available, anyone who does not think there is a problem of hunger in America today is blind. Buckley sees no such problem. Finally, his most frightening point came when he said that if you are not Conservative it doesn't matter what you are; Black Panther, SDS, Stalinist, or Nazi. Buckley made several quips toward President Nixon. Does this mean Reid thinks our President a Black Panther? This lunacy is more akin to the totalitarianism he so opposes. No, Brother Reid, you are a dangerous man an4 I shudder at the mendacity you have left behind. M. Scholnick BEACON ANNIVERSARY (From Page 4) Beacon Light of Sports," "Campus Chatter," and "Meet the Colonels." During the Spring semester of 1950, the Beacon broke the story of the new gym that was to be constructed and the sports column was renamed, "Colonel's Coroner." Also included in the issues that year was a column called "Camera • Queries," where a reporter and a photographer would pose questions to various students. Almost a decade later, the Beacon was still continuing to improve its style and techniques. The name of the paper was now printed over the Wilkes emblem and the size of the paper remained at four pages. 1960 saw the editorial L page devoted to an editorial on the Beacon where for the first time there had been such a turn out for the paper that there had been more reporters than assignments. The sports column was now written under the title "Lockeroom Chatter," and a new column, "Personals," was also added. The school year 1962-63 saw the Beacon improve its content even more by adding more editorials, a "What, Where and When." The column was now called "Time Out" and a view ·of other schools was presented in "Other Campuses." A welcome to the new freshmen was again the front page story as l the Beacon began the 1964-65 school year. A column called "College Forecast" was added to the sports page in which the outcome of the weeks sports events were predicted. . By _1965 , the Beacon had expanded to six pages with page five of the May 21 issue devoted to a feature called, " That Was The Year That Was." This was a satirical review of the year's happenings. An extension of eight pages and the changes to glossy type paper were just a few of the changes made in the campus .publication in 1969. More space was now being provided for students to express their opinions and columns such as "Reporter at Large, " "Student Opinion," and the new sports column, "Sportfolio" were added to the paper. The year 1970 saw a change in printers and the paper being printed on regular newsprint paper. The students were now given the responsibilities of reporting, writing, typing and laying out pages on their own. In contrast · to its early years of existence, the present Beacon staff members work closely with the printers and are able to take pride in the "finished product" since it has been done entirely by them. The following is a quote from the editorial page of the Beacon on October 2, 1959. What it states is exactly what the Beacon of 1971 has been built upon. "What is a newspaper?" ... .Journalistic freedom on the campus means a newspaper with an opinion, a living newspaper. Not a tool for a few, but a mirror for all; an independent voice reaching out to everyone. When we fail to acheive these goals, it is the right and duty of our readers to tell us so. We expect no · praise and welcome criticism. We know no other way to improve ourselves." SUCCESS (From Page 5) "Bright, shiny bright!" is the future forseen for resident assistants by Dean Lampe. If the job is taken .with concern, it will be a tremendous learning experience for all involved. An insight into working and dealing, with people can be gained. The student staff has to deal with maids, maintenance men, health people, the Administration and security . They are the first to become involved with a student who wishes to change a major, dropout of school, get married or break and engagement. The year spent as a resident assistant is a valuable possession and an experience that can not be bought. WAYNE DEPT. STORE RECORD DEPARTMENT GATEWAY S HOPPING CENTER �Page 8 THE BEACON October 28, 1971 Beacon Reporter Interviews local Candidates · · COUNTY COMMISSIONER The County Commissioner is the person who has the respo nsibility of running county government. He is in charge of raising taxes to run the courts, maintain Valley Crest, the County Prison, and the airport. In addition, the County Commissioner has the task of watching the tax levels and providing for better roads.

Regardless of our party affiliation , I think all elected officials should get together and work for the people who elect us to office".

County Treasurer William B. Curwood William ·B. Curwood is the incumbent Democrat candidate for Luzerne County Treasurer. This marks the first time in the history of Luzerne County that a treasurer will be able to succeed himself in office; previously they were limited to one term. The Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention of two years a·go changed this rule of succession. Another first was institu ted by Mr. Curwood; he was responsible fo r the county investing monies from the treasury and by doing this , a profit of $600,000 was realized. This profit plus good county ·administrating were mainly the reasons for no tax increases in 1970. Also under Curwood's administration, it was the first time employees from that office went traveJJing through out the county to sell dog licenses, which resulted in more revenue.

Hockey Drops Two Meets • The Colonel Harriers dropped two home meets in what proved to be a dismal turn for the worst last week resulting in part from a definite lack of depth due to the temporary loss of co-captain Gary Homing and the nagging, problem ankle of Jim Godlewski_ _ In Monday's home opener versus the University of Scranton ; Sophomore Duane Sadvary led Wifk.es with a fine time of 29:25 over the 5 mile course in Kirby Park. Despite Sadvary's finish, the Harriers dropped a 22-33 decision to the Royals who also suffer from a problem of a lack of manpower and would have been required to forfeit the meet had not Coach George Pawlush decided the only way to win is out on the course and not through burdening stipulations in the NCAA rule book. Scranton arrived in Wilkes-Barre with a contingent of four men ; one shy of the required minimum. Thus the meet was a forfeit in reality, but goes in the record books as a Wilkes loss. Following Sadvary against Scranton were Joe Miraglia in his best showing to date, Bruce Davis, Jirn Godlewski and Don Nash. Thursday's meet versus Baptist Bible College arroused hopes of victory on the part of the Wilkesmen. In an earlier effort, the Colonels had dropped an away decision to the very same teain after only nine days of practice. This meet , however, produced the same result with Bible gaining a 26-29 victory . Winning the event was Byron Brooks of Bible followed clos_ely by Colonel Cocaptain Bruce Davis with a time of 28-50.

This was win no. 100 in Wilkes Footbali annals. This game was marked by the fact that Ted Yeager did not gain his usual · 100 yards. However, the Catawissa Flash did account for 79 hard-earned yards and was sensational in covering Blaum's punts. The Indians got the opening kick but were soon stopped by the Wilkes's aggressive defenders. Although this same defense was "punctured" for 315 total yards, it constantly managed to rise to the occasion t9 thwart Juniata scoring threats. During this initial period , the ball was mostly on the Juniata side of mid-field. The most serious Wilkes threat began after Jones took a punt and returned it to the Juniata 41 yard line. A deflected pass was alertly caught by the tightend, Sillup, as Wtlkes seemed ready to record a score. Wilkes had the ball on the 17 yard line as the first quarter ended. Juaniata's lineb acker, Mercandante, played a.'1 outstanding game as he constantly stopped the Colonels runners for little or no gain. Following a big loss suffered by Giberson, a field goal try by Blaum was short from 39 yards away. The Juniata team, which has all 22 starters back from last year, was giving the Colonels difficulty with their 5-3-3 defense. Yeag~r and Yanora ran hard but neither could break loose for a big gainer. Again , Blaum had to punt. ·maums' kick sailed into the end zone and Juniata took over at . their own 20 yard line. The nixt play: 5'7" Dan Rackovan snared a bomb on the 43 yard line for a first down. Then the Wilkes defense asserted itself; Grandinetti jarred the runner after a 3 yard gain, Sparks was walloped by Cardinale and Galicki, and a halfback pass was smeared by Pat Ratchford and Bob Aston from their end positions. Galicki just missed blocking the purit. Four plays later, Wtlkes had to surrender the ball to Juniata. The Indians began to move ·the bali through the airways with some success. On a crucial 3rd down play, Cardinale and Graziano separated :Racko van from a possible first down pass completion. Juniata then punted the ball away from Jones and out of bounds. The Indians evidently have seen Mr. Jones run back punts on film all week. Two plays later, the first half ended. · At half, the Colonels seemed to decide how to cope with the counter plays in which Wilkes linemen were successfully "·trapped ." AJso of concern, was the defen'se to stop the "wish-bone" formation used by Juniata. · . The vesper half started with Maze racing down the · sidelines for a nifty 25 yard return. Ozgar then bolted for a 13 yard gain off tackle. Three plays later, a Giberson pass intended for Langdon was intercepted by Ziegler. · Juhiatas ground attack began to gain yardage . With the ball on .the 19 of Wilkes, Kerr made a brilliant effort to · deflect an apparent touchdown pass to Rackovan. Next, on a fourth down and five , the Indians tried a pass which was stopped by Grandinetti, C;uqinale, and Adamchak. Wilkes again failed to move the ball against their lighter foes. Yeager gained five , O:z;gar bulled his way for three yards, and then a pass was incomplete and Wilkes had to punt.

In other games it was Slocum overpowering the Froshmore and an Interdorm struggle found the Priapus Frenolles .over the Priapus Japs. High man for Dirksen was Fred Brickel with a 181 and _451.

While Sandy Petri's 173 and 445 was the Froshmore's best. Poom Man Miller's 185 in the second game of the match vyas the deciding factor of the downfall of the Japs, with Joey Leone's high triple of 467 bolstering the attack. High for the Japs was Tokyo Joe Iero with a 189 and 471. . :Pigskin Predictions By Raymond McNulty With tears on my typewriter, I must sadly inform you of the upcoming gloom for Colonel's rooters everywhere. The infallible crystal ball method, which I use on one prediction per week, states that Wtlkes will succumb to their visitors from Indiana, Pa. Before you call me traitor and suggest my being used at Ralston field as a "tackling dummy", allow me to explain the logic behind this illogical pick. The Maroon and Gray of Indiana have won five of their first six games, due mairtly to the return of 16 starters. The lone loss this year for the Indians was a 29-23 loss to the defending Lambert bowl champions, Edinboro in the last 30 seconds of the game. Meanwhile, the vaunted Wilkes defense has recently shown iitself to be vulnerable to several mental lapses at crucial moments in the game. Keeping this in mind, it seems plausible but not likely that Wilkes will defeat their highly touted opponents. The final score Will read Indiana 28-Wilkes-2 l. Those fans who attend this fray will be treated to excellent running by two All-American halfback candidates, Larry Monsilovich of Indiana and Ted Yeager of the Colonels. Denison to Trounce Muskingum This was supposed to be "THE YEAR" for Muskingum's Muskies, but so far it has been sheer disas er. Denison, is having another outstanding year (6-3 in 1970), mainly because of 20 returning starters. Coach Piper has his Denison club "Sky high" for this game in an effort to avenge last year's 40-20 loss. Denison lost a tough 8-7 affair with Ithaca early this year.. ESSC to Overwhelm Millersville The powerful Warriors of East Stroudsburg have been scoring an average of 20 points per game such touted opponents as Monclair, West Chester, and Kutztown. Millersville features an offense led by halfback Mike Ortman, while the defense relies upon two-time-all-conference end, Ralph Batty. Expect the ESSC aggregation to defeat the Marauders by a margin of 17 points. The ortly trouble ESSC will have is a tendency to mentally prepare for a bruising game the following week with Wilkes. Wo111en's Hockey by Kathy Davies and Val Aiello Oct. 13, marked a turning point in the women's field hockey season. The Colonelettes defeated Keystone Junior College by a score of 2 -1. At the half the score was 1-0, Wtlkes. But in the final five minutes of the game, Keystone threatened, and scored. This sparked the Wilkes line and in the following minute center forward Donna Doncses, scored with a quick drive from center. Freshman Carolyn Gregory was responsible for the other goal. In . the practices prior to the game; Coach Foster rearranged the offensive line which proved to be a contributing factor in the Keystone win . Miss Foster commented that it was the . first time the line functioned as an attacking unit. Powerful passes, dexterous dodges, and heap big hustle all_added up to an o-erall good game. Seeing Varsity play for the first was fullback . Gayle Kinback, replacing Debbie Backensto who was injured during practice. Center half, Stephanie Pufko, put in a good game in all areas. Increasing their winning streak, the Colonelettes handed College of Misercordia a 4-0 defeat last Tuesday. With the aid of an aggressive defense, goalie Laraine Mancuso had their first shut off of the season. The defense's interception of passes was the key to holding their oppon~nts scoreless. Senior co-captain Jean Adams lead the offense fired two passes that lead_to goals by Carolyn Gregory and Kathv Davies. A second goal was scored by Miss Gregory while Donna Doncses scored her third of the season. The Highlanders of Dallas had two shots at goal the. entire game which proved unsuccessful. J Metalavage experienced varsity p. for her first time. Currently the team is hoping to extend their winning streak with two games remaining.

A key play in this drive was on a fourth down and l yard to go fo r a first down at the 37 yard line of Wilkes. The Indian's Coradetti received the ball and was met instantly by Tony Cardinale, the bruising Wilkes Captain, who stopped the play for a loss. Giberson completed .a pass to Marion with three minutes left in the third quarter. The next play saw the Colonels fumble at the 35 yard line if the home team. On a second down play , Mastrorocca threw a pass to Kennedy who ran it to the Wilkes 4 7 yard line before Rich Masi made a saving tackle. Two more running plays netted the Indians 28 yards. The ball was on the 13 yard line of the visitors and a score seemed inevitable to the partisan fans who were watching this exciting game. Coradetti was smashed to the turf as the third period came to a halt. The game was still a scoreless tie. Two more runs were quickly stopped by Galicki and R.atchford; thus setting up a crucial fo urth down and eight yards to go fo r Juniata. The Indians then faked a field goal and threw for an apparent firs t down at the one yard line of Wilkes. However, an official spotted an infrac tion against Juniata and the play was nullified, much to the delight of the few Colonels rooters present. Then the Indians tried a pitchout to Sparks who was belted to the ground by Cardinale on a sparkling open field tackle. After an exchange of punts, the ball was on the 29 of Wilkes with only 45 seconds left on the clock. Lauber lofted a long pass into the end zone where Garf Jones recorded his 13th lifetime intercep tion at an crucial time in the game; thus depriving Juniata of a field goal try. A big pass rush by Ashton aided in this play . Things still looked bleak as the Colonels had to move the ball 80 yards for a touchdown against a team which had held them scoreless for more than 3½ periods of play. The crowd of over 5,000 were sitting on the edges of their seats in anticipation of some last minute dramatics. Jeff Giberson then unloaded a pass to sure-handed soph, John Marion who raced to the 46 of Wilkes. The clock now showed but 18 seconds remaining. A long "bomb" then hit Horan 's shoulderpads. A penalty was called against the Indians for pass interference. With time running out, Yeager ran for five yards and more importantly the ball was now directly in front of the goal posts. Terry Blaum entered the game with his holder , Dan Maze. The snap from center was a little bit high but the two freshman , Blaum and Maze refused to be rattled as the kick was good. Wilkes now had a 3-0 lead thanks to the talented foot of Terry Blaum. To add insult to injury , an onside kick by Blaum was recovered by Bob McBride of the Colonels suicide squad. This was the final play of the game. In retrospect, the game featured . some great clutch play by the defensive team but the offense bogged down too often. Our Colonels can't afford to gloat over this victory since the powerful Indiana (Pa.) contingent will be here Saturday, with several thoughts in mind- ruin, defeat, and humiliate the Wilkes Colonels in THE BEACON front of a large, Homecoming crowd at Ralston Field. Indiana is a high scoring team , so the Colonels must be functioning I 00 percent on offense and defense if they entertain any hopes of winning. NOTICE Reach-Out wil I be collecting money for the .

Puccini's 'Messia di Gloria' To Be Wilkes Chorus Concert The Wilkes College Chorus will present a fall concert on Tuesday, November I 6, 197 I, at the Center for the Performing Arts at 8:30 p.m. The chorus, composed of 111 vocalists, is under the direction of Mr. Richard Probert. "Messa di Gloria" by Giacomo Puccini will comprise the entire program. "Messa di Gloria" was written when Puccini was at the young age of 18, but represents the fulfillment of The Mass was first performed his entire musical background.

However, Puccini, who was four generations had specialized in striving to master other forms of sacred music. (Continued on page 12) on the lack of seats. It seems that the Byrds P.A. system absorbed 360 seats in the bleachers, and the reason chairs were used was because of the fire laws which pertain to the gym. The reason for insufficient seating as publicized by Student Government President, Howie Tune , was the existence of bogus tickets. Only three such tickets were found and the one exhibited at the meeting was, of very poor quality. Still, there may or may not have been more. Whether the apology contained factual reasoning is really not the question. Some sort of immediate answer had to be given to quickly assuage the tide of anger on campus. Finally , the reason the side door was opened was simple necessity . The crowd was growing increasingly large and the police threatened to leave unless some of the students were permitted inside. Dr. Francis Michelini, who sat in on the meeting, commended the students who ran the concert for doing a very responsible job and making it the best student affair ever. The finalized version of the Off Campus Living Proposal was passed unanimously. It will now be . presented to the Council of Deans for approval. Next, George Pagliaro wanted the new amendment of the Student Activity Fee Proposal to directly state that only financial support (Continued on page 12) Middleton Takes Bath Over ·Byrds · by Gary Horning The recent claim by Beacon guest columnist Joe Middleton that the B~RDS concert could have been booked for some $3,000 less than Wilkes College paid for it has been emphatically denied by Dean James Moss and Student Government President Howie Tune.

Anytime the word is mentioned , even in the lowest tone, ears begin to burn. And maybe they should for once. The BEACON has come out time and time again shouting apathy until the campus is sick and tired of hearing the word . Yet nothing seems to get done. In a letter to the editor this week, Student Government Presid ent, Howie Tune, stated his own particular experiences with student body. Stud ents, according to Tune, "Demand the things we were offering to give them ." Th is is one point where Student Government and the student publication are in complete agreement. Another point made in the letter stresses Mr. Tune's concern for t lJ.e quality of the paper. This again is another of our primary concerns. Two points in agreement! The student newspaper is one means of check that any institution has to keep controversies above the ground. The purpose of a paper is to question the motives and actions of anyone who would necessarily influence its readers. Then why, as Mr. Tune puts it, "the running battle between S.G. and the BEACON ?" No one should be denied the freedom of speech so necessary to our way of life, but at the same time anyone in the limelight, so to speak, should be willing to stand behind what they say and confront the issues directly . The only logical conclusion to the problem at hand is the simplest. Why not work. together to solve a common problem? Profit-making Condoned At a recent meeting of the Student Life Committee the problem of how the Activity Fee affects the classes was discussed. As the proposal now stands, each class receives an initial allotment of $1,000. This is the money used for outings, dances and other class activities. There is a stipulation that no class is allowed to make a profit using Student Government's money. And it's very di fficult to make mon ey with no starting capital. If the classes were to receive a lower allotment, but allowed to make a profit on their activities, it would result in a more active class, and more class activities. The benefit to the school is obvious. Right now classes have little money to donate to Wilkes. If classes were allowed to make money they would be able to serve the school by perhaps offering a scholarship or presenting a substantial senior gift. (No bribe, just fact.) Because the classes would have the opportunity to do more, there would be more class affinity. The initiative to do something would be supplied. The idea was fairly well received at the committee meeting, and it is our hope that action will be taken on the measure. If there is a lack of worthwhile events on campus, perhaps it is because the present Activity Proposal stifles initiative. A Suitcase College ?

The players performed to a full house three successive evenings, and to enthusiastic as well as appreciative audiences. The program began with an introduction to Gilbert and Sullivan " - Dear Dead Friends - ," a Gilbert and Sullivan primer, which was written by Michael Gallagher and staged by Robert Bernhardt. It was synopsized as "a brief reunion with the two immortals, Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan, their prodigious producer Richard D'Oyly Carte and a very charming young lady.

He is wearing the classiest in classic collegiate creations: a brown corduroy knicker suit with giant snaps and zippers (Mighty Mac, $ 100). Underneath is a Givenc~y (so who else?) turtle neck . And · a Stanley Blacker buckskin suede shirt-jacket ("Far right ," the caption tells us) with envelope epaulettes and pockets. A regular steal (did he or didn't he?) at $85 . . . · These are just a few of the items that the clothing industry - by way of faddist fashion magazines - has told us and our mothers that we'll be wearing back-to-school this year. Not, this season. But is this the college campus clothing scene? The answer is simple: look in a mirror. What are you wearing? All of the above? Some of the above ? None of the above? According to an editor of a leading fashion journal who prefers to remain nameless, "I really don't know what students wear on campus. The Back-To-College campaign is really just an advertising tradition. I suppose they're wearing the maxi-look and the Army-Navy look - high styled - and suede jeans... well, I suppose they're wearing just what the magazines say the 're wearing. Aren't they?" Not necessarily. A superficial glance at some student attire disproves the image that all students are donning designer creations. Both men and women wear demm pants (these must be frayed, sometimes with embroidered cuffs and patches, and must be washed at least seven times before ready to wear!. They wear blue jean jackets (same process for washing and wearmg), raggedy bleached blue work shirts worn in winter over old black undershirts. And a pair of aged , scruffy Wellingtons. But there are e_xceptions. The freshman coed's mother is prime paying prey f?r the multitude of magazine's misleading back-to-school-you-fool campa1?ns. These !v1others of Mademoiselle page through sectfons of glos~y Jersey, _acryl!c, _c ut low, cut high, drip dry and hip high copies of copies of copies - and send their daughters off to school in the right fashion . At t rizona State University in Tempe, a coed said, "It's like out of the pages of a magazine. And I don't mean Field and Stream . Everyone's so Clean. Everyone's so Coordinated. It's the kind of place where you wouldn't dare walk out of your dorm room into the hallways wearing a bathrobe." · On many campuses it's no longer fashio~able to be fashionable. Designer clothes - wide ties, cartridge belts, hot and cold pants, et al :-are out and Costumes are in. A Costume is more individual and represents an idea, a concept, rather than a covering. Farmer jeans with criss-cross straps, flag shirts, psychedelic jockey shorts and home-made , home-grown, tie-dyed shirts reeking.of that organic look are all Costumes. As students ,have become more individualistic, many have tired of attire and have searched - from their granny's attic to the Goodwill basement - for clothing that is individuai, basic and back-to-earth. In a recent article in Gentlemen's Quarterly, a UCLA professor professed that on his campus, "Fashion is no big deal. It's already been liberat.ed so the kids are free to look the way they want to look. And it looks like the fashion revolution is over." But on the next six pages of that male fashion magazine , 32 college-aged men are pictured wearing the antithesis of the preceding article - zappy zippel' sweaters, argyle pants, coordinating caps and scarves, kicker knickers and red, white and blue everything at prices well beyond most students' budgets. More than ever before, the studertt uniform has become more individualistic as a wear-your-own-thing attitude prevails on campuses. And yet the fashion magazines insist that students are wearing $75 suede pants, calling them "britches," rather than counter-culture , cast-off rags. If college students are indeed going from rags to britches as the experts predict, then the fashion magazines obviously have heen washed (Co ntinued on page 12) in soft suds, drip dried and hung up. �Page 4 November 11 , 1971 THE BEACON Spring In Spain one's own account Two Spanish majors, Elena DeRojas and Wendy Roth, plan to attend the University of Madrid in Spain for by JoAnn Gomer the Spring semester.

Set IArt Grant Introduced I �t'age t; THE BEACON · November 11, 1971 by Ruthanne Jones The fashion picture at Wilkes, autumn '71, is a collage of many styles reflecting individuality, freshness and a sense of fun, best described as a free spirited look. Part of the look has been created from nostalgia, but in a newly liberated way. There are dramatic adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes cape coat, an invasion of World War 11 type airplane jackets and the stalwart army coat. Leather and suede are highly appealing in everything from waist length jackets to maxi coats. Men's jackets are trimmed and lined with a wooly pile called shearling, and women's midi coats get the royal treatment, resplendently bordered in fur. Plaids promise to be one of the seasons favorite patterns and are boldly splashed across jumpers, hot pants, suits - even men's bells. Photos by Ruthanne �November 11, 1971 THE BEACON , - Dauntless denim coveralls, in plain and brushed, are popular with both men and women and are worn with French undershirts in vivid colors and geometric designs. Two of the biggest items on campus are panchos and shawls in ·fantastic colors - crocheted, knitted and handtied macrame. Having won the so-called "fashion revolution," women's skirt lengths are any length they choose to wear; however, one of the truly elegant styles is composed of the gaucho or midi length sk irt with high boots. These random camera shots illustrate how some Wilkes students have adopted the general fashion trends and made them the ir own for a great way to dress. Jo nes 1.4701.1. Paqe7 �THE BEACON Page 8 November KWA LWASSER IS CITED AS ATTRACTIVE ASSET by Mary Covine by Zak Hayes We now inte rrupt this important program to bring you ano ther of a continuing series of knuckle-headed commercials ... Are you tired o f putting u p with all of the cruddy , corny commercials which they' re showing on television these days? Would you like to strike back at commercial writers? Well , I'm with you alJ the way . That's why I've helped to o rganize this year's Second Annual Echy Awards for television commercials . Every year , five Echy Awards are given away to those commercials which are judged to be the worst on television . The judging is based upon artlessness, degree of implausibility , irrationality , and pornographic im plica tio ns. And now.:. this year's Fifth Place - Goes to the Star Pist Tuna Commercial. It was no minated by Ralph Hater, when he tested the product and found its ingredients to contain 2 per cent fish by products and 98 per cent mercury. It has also been rumored that Star-Pist doesn't want tunas with good taste, it wants tunas that taste good . Now, be honest-would you enjoy eating a schmuck tuna? Sorry Charlie. Fourth Place - Goes to the "Right Tackle Antiperspirant" commercial, in recognition of its profound , logical content... "Mr. Twat , does your antiperspirant really keep you dry?" " Bub, you don't do what I do and stay dry ." "Why , what do you do?" "Sweat! " Third Place- For the second straight year, goes to the "Choosy Mo thers Choose GYP Peanut Nutter" commercial. It was nominated by 526,783 choosy mothers who claims that it doesn't smell or tas te like fresh peanuts that the other lead ing brands. They will concede , howeve r, that it looks more like f~esh peanuts. That is probably partly attributed to the fact that it is made u p of 87 per cent peanut colored food dye, l l per cent assorted oils and greases, and 2 per cent peanut extract. Last week , the price of Gyp Pea.n ut Butter was doubled by its manufac turers, so we assume that the price o f peanut color.ed fo od dye has recently rise n. Second Place - Goes to the "Charming Bathroom Tissue " commercial. It was no minated by an anony mous impulsive squeezer , who claims that it is no t squeezably soft , and that the only heavenly fragrance which it has is a distinctive odo r of reconstituted wood pulp. How about it , Mr. Whipple? Are you ready now? This is the moment that we 've all been wai ting fo r! We are about to reveal "Number One" -the commercial which was judged to be the schlockiest o n television! First Place- Goes to the "New Cold Water Nothing" commercial. It has been discovered that thi s product no t only doesn't clean clothes adequately , but in cold water , it has a tendency to congeal into a smoo th , white gelatin like substance. Actually , though , the product isn' t all that bad ... that is, if you hap pen to like dirty shirt jello! And so, that winds up this y ea r's Echy Awards. But if you 're no t doing any thing next year at th is time , the n be sure to tune in o n the Third Annual Echy Awards Show. We guarantee more revenge on neat-o commercials . We now interrupt this regularly scheduled program for a commercial.

SPORTS PRISM by Steve Jones All-Star, All-MAC , All-State, All-American, All-Pro , All-Universe - all felative . Ever wonder how and by whom individuals are selected to the various "glory rosters" in the athletic world? Well, let's take a peek at the procedures of the weekly ECAC, All-Star selections for football. There are 53 teams in the ECAC Division III, of which Wilkes is a member. After the football game the visiting SID (sports information director) makes three nominations to the All-Star Squad for each team. In addition the two SID's decide between them who should be selected "Rookie of the Game." These nominations are then phoned in to ECAC headquarters in New York City. Here , one Bill Esposito, SID at St. John's University, assimilates all of the information and sees to it that from all of the candidates submitted four players are selected in each of three categories: defensive back and linebacker' offensive linebacker (ends and backs) , and defensive or offensive line. As far as MAC All-Star selections are concerned, the MAC coaches choose all of the players on their team who they believe should receive MAC mention. They then send their nominations to the MAC office at Bethesda, Maryland , where a complete list of all of the players names as drawn up and mailed to each of the MAC coaches who select the All-Star . team. Although at times some coaches seem to go a little haywire and submit virtually their entire roster to Bethesda, those in the know in the sports world feel that the ultimate MAC selections are probably more just than those of other All-Star squads. This is because the MAC coaches spend hours on end viewing films of their respective opponents and generally know who does or does not possess outstanding talent. But there are times when the impartiality of some of the selections is subject to question. One case in point concerns the ECAC selections. Earlier this year against Moravian , Frank Galicki made the ECAC All-Star squad when he made 11 tackles and seven assists and recovered a blocked p,mt for a TD, a great effort , no doubt. But probably equally as great was Tony Cardinale's 17 tackle, 11 assist effort against Ithaca. The ECAC by-passed him in their selections. No doubt the fact that Wilkes lost the game had a lot to do with their decision. Another case in point occurred after last baseball season when Jeff Giberson, who had the eighth lowest ERA (earned run average) of pitchers in the nation , was overlooke d in selections for the Northern Division All-Stars. Too frequently' it seems, athletes are given recognition primarily on tµ e basis of seniority and their performances and publicity of the past and upon their team's success at winning. Fair ratings of an individual's performance go out the door when these factors are brought into play• It's too bad that "the perfect system" of selection has yet to be devised. It's too bad that sometimes final selections are the responsibility of only one person. "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." But these minor inequities are what aspirants to the "who's who " of athletics must live with until something better comes along. Until that day the player who made the incredible block that nobody saw' or the fantastic catch that was forgotten about in the heat of battle, will have to console himself with the thought that maybe the "Great Coach in the sky" saw it _all and w! !o;neday reward him. I'd like to make a brief mention here of a few of the soccer players who have not been getting the publicity they deserve, and who should be watched for in Saturday's MAC championship . They are Gary Mocho , Bill Killeen , Marty Pobutkiewicz, Roger Danbury , Keith Shallcross, Ed Weber, Chip Eaton and Jerry Blade . They are a few of the unsung heroes who are largely responsible for the team's 7-1-1 MAC record. Tennis Sept. 22 marked the beginning of the Women's Tennis Intramurals, held in Kirby Park. Twenty-five eager girls participated in the program which lasted until Oct. 27. Divided into two. groups beginners and advanced players both classes participated in either a "round robin" or "second chance" tournament. The beginners were selected to perform in the "second chance" tournament where both the loser as well as the winner receive a second chance at winning their division. In regular elimination round the player who once loses has no other attempt for the title. Whereas in a "second chance" tournament the loser is given a repeated try at the title. While the advanced players used the "round robin" method in which the player as she eliminates one opponent after another' proceeds on to the next until she reaches the top, with either no defeats or very few. Winners of the Beginner and Advanced categories were Ann Tracy ( 6 _3 ) ( 1_6) ( 6 _1) and Sue Flannery ( 5 _7) ( 6 _2 ) ( 6 _3) respectively. Runners-up were Pam Fink _ Beginners, and Rosemary Petrillo - Advan ced players. Special attention must be given to Jo Ann Herfurth and Jill Longo for the outstanding ability in the Beginner class as well as Nancy Snee who performed impressively in the advanced position. Participating in the Tennis Intramurals were Beginners: Molly Moran , Ann Ostipiw, . Janice Yanish , Chris Hastie , Kathy Mansberry , JoAnn Herfurth , Linda Holonia , Sally Ann Chupka , Jill Longo, Pam Fink, Diana Giovannini, Debbie Wysocki, Ann Tracy, Nancy Walker,.. Ruth Kret , Beverly Martin , and Frances Kuczynski. Advanced players were: Sue Flannery, Nancy Snee, Jill Steiger, Rosemary Petrillo, Marie Koeyan , Mary Lou McKeown, Rose Gennaro , and Darlene Kishbaugh. For all basketball enthusiasts , Women 's Intramurals begin Nov. I and will co ntinue to Nov. 18. Anyone interested please contact Miss Bloomberg at Weckesser Annex. The title game for the Colonels Soccer team will be this week when they meet the Bluejays of Elizabethtown at Ralston field. If the Rokitamen could defeat the unbeaten E-Town team, Wilkes would win the Northern. Division Middle Atlantic Conference soccer title, something not accomplished since 1966. During the week the Blue and Gold boo ters defeated Susquehanna University 4-0. The win brought the teams record to 8-3-2, and7-l-l in the M.A.C. Wilkes scored three goals in the second quarter with 40 second intervals between each shot. Bob Linaberry Ed Garabedian scored two goals to bring his total to 18 for the season. Stellios Pa tsiokas and Ray Grysko made the other goals for the Colonels. Chip Eaton again played some fi ne defense by registe ring 11 saves. Both Eaton and Garabedian are headed for M.A.C. honors along with possib ilitie s for All-American honors as well , if they have an outstand ing finish against Elizabethtown .

Another point stressed by Dean Moss was that nobody did anything last year when Wilkes was really charged exhorbitant rates and cries of excessive pricing would have been legitimate .

Also , a meeting with the dea ns was scheduled to be held concerning the calendar change. Dr. Michelini asked Stud ent Govern men t to share one-half of the cost of a new wide screen in the CPA. The to tal cost would be abo ut $440. The rest of the burden would be handled by the college . Finally, a new committee had bee n forme d to st ud y the possibility of having open talks by any of the professors. The lectures could be abou t any subject he desires and would take place during the hou r break on Tuesdays and Thursdays. TRIAL (From page 3) Gree nberg, Ruthanne Jones and Mary Elizabeth Morris. The jurymen, another asset to the opera, were portrayed by Cliff Dungey , Richard Finkelstein, Glen Flack, Glen Landis , Bob Leach and Ken Stone. The chorus consisted of Wendy Adleman , Corinne Crispell , Karen Fried , Karen Kmietovich, Bruce Phair, Harry Sweptston and Gretchen Winfield. Jim Farrario conducted and Julie Levoy and Andrea Bogusko were the accompanists, while Tom Frew handled percussion. All proceeds were given to the United Fund in the name of the Wilkes College Theater, Student Government, and Wilkes College. When Mr. Alfred Groh was asked how he felt about the success he said, "I'm delighted that the students have . such a creative opportunity to express themselves so .joyously." He was enthusiastic over the audience's reaction and has high-hopes for student plays in Wilkes' future. November 11, 1971 THE BEACON COLONEL FOOTBALL (From page 10) The offense sputtered and Blaum was forced to punt. His punt apparently fumbled but the official ruled the whistle had blown prior to the fumble and the partisan Wilkes crowd aired its displeasure responding with a reboant round of boos that "fired up" the Colonel defense . . The "Golden Herd" stopped ESSC cold but a · grabbing the faremask violation gave them a first down . Again the incensed defense set the ESSC offense in reverse motion and the Warriors had to punt on the fourth and 25. The punt, though, took a bizarre bounce and struck an unsuspecting Colonel and ESSC recovered on the Wilkes 24. A piling on penalty again beset the Colone!

ESSC 14 Wtlkes 9, with just over nine minutes remaining in the game . The Colonels retailed when Giberson hit Neil Langdon fo~ the first down and then followed with a bomb to John Marion that brought the ball to the ESSC 15. Three gruelling runs by Yeager up the middle netted l Oyards and another Wilkes first down on the Warrior five . Giberson than pitched to Yeager who sailed unmolested left around end of the score . The try for a two point conversion failed, but the Colonel defense didn't the rest of the way as Garf Jones made a tremendous play in flicking away a pass that could have been a potential touchdown and Galicki blitzed Mu_mmaw and sacked him for a sizable and demoralizing loss deep in ESSC territory late in the game. In all the Colonel defense got to Mummaw five times for losses totaling 25 yards. MARIANI (From page 2) happened .

This was commented upon by Student Government President Howie Tune, who stated that a group of students, led by Gifford Cappellini, is sponsoring a petition favoring student representation at the meetings. At the same time, Tune indicated that there was strong sentiment among the student body for such a move. Tune reported that Dr. Francis J. Michelini, president of Wilkes College, and the administration were willing to support such an action but couldn't understand why students would want representation in the first place. Dr. Michelini further remarked that he wgµld rather have this made into a proposal by Student Government. Mike Bishton summed up the discussion saying, "let Giff waste his time." He felt that petitions didn't get very far and Student Government had little to worry about. A fund r_equest of $200 was granted to the radio committee. Bishton reported that a plea for records from the student body had failed and it would be necessary to spend $120 for records and $80 for recording tape. Bishton also remarked that the station was low on fu nds and even with the $120, only 10 bands could be covered sufficiently. Also, all programming will be taped. It seems that certain school officials are sensitive to so-called "DJ-types." George Pagliaro, IDC president, asked why there wasn't more stude nt control of the station and he failed to see how the programming would have any appeal to the college crowd. It was then emphasized by Bishton that the radio was for the community and that its purpose is-"to give the valley some culture." Eventually , some programs will be pretty much run by students but the college must be careful the first year in order to keep its FCC permit. President of the junior class, Joel Vol. XXIV, No. 11 Fischman, presented a blueprint for a stage that could be easily stored and transported. It was pointed out that the stage could be used for concerts, commencement exe rcises and various student activities. The estimated cost of the project is $185 0 to $2000. Lee Auerbach felt that this should be cooperatively worke d o ut w ith th e Administra tion. Tune tabled the discussion. Fischman also thanked Student Government for the $200 allocated to Cue 'n' Curtain. He presented a breakdown of how the fund s were used and reported that the play, "Trial by Jury," was so successful that it was possible fo r them to give $5 00 to the Uni ted Fund. After a hea ted debate, the Bish ton-Auerbach suggestion to the ·student Ac tivity Fee Proposal was withdrawn. The principal reason for its failure was that Harry Bilecki discovered that the proposal already stated that any club or organization had to submit proof of how the funds were used. It now became a question of whether Student Government would back it up. The remainder of the amendment will be taken up with the Activity Fee Committee. Auerbach remarked on the progress of the college calendar change. A formal version is to be presented to the Council of Deans and goes something like this - one day of registration for freshman directly after Labor Day; the next day would include registra tion for the upper classes; fi nal exams would be over before Christmas; there would be 33 days off fo r in termission; during the second semester, 14 days would be alloted for Easter recess and there is a provision for an additional nine-day vacation anytime. No comment was made on how the Freshman Orientation Program would be handled. Dance and Film Committee chairman, Bilecki, reported that the Christmas Dance would be held on . December 10 and music would be provided by The Bouys and Strabas. The price for The Bouys is set at $800 and Strabas will WILKES COLLEGE CAMPUS NEWSPAPER Progress Reports Means of Motivation? by Pat Moran The semi-annual vigil is over and you can stop guarding the mailbox the progress reports have already arrived.

Steve Kubricki, although feeling the gesture was sincere, opposed the idea of Studen t Government making anymo re donations simply because it had too little money with which to wo rk. A show of hands defended the donation, terminating further discussion. A challenge was issued by Auerbach concerning the profits from the dances. It was his contention that the fu nds should be pumped backed into Student Government rather than given over to the Dance and Film Committee. Bilecki staunchly defended his committees right to keep its profits since the monies were always put into more dances and films. Sentiment among the members favored Bilecki's defense and promptly shut-off the attack .

The good that is accompl ished is never voiced . We would like ·to take this o pportunity to congratualte the me mbers of t he Admi nistration , faculty and studen t body involved· in the formu lation of the St udent Facul ty Com mittee on Teacher Evaluatio n and Recogn ition . The committee is a concept that membe rs of th e facu lty and student body have bee n striving for duri ng a period of several years. Those not di rectly invo lved in the organization will find it difficult t o recognize its great impo rtance both fro m the stand point of actu al achievement and meaning. Stud ent representat ion o n the com mittee is actua ll y th·e la rgest , percentage wise of any other student-faculty comm ittee a lready in existence. Faculty involvement has been greater than realized by many. Members of the faculty have actually been fighting for such a committee for several years now. It is a difficult step for any group to submit itself to such careful evaluation and criticism as the faculty has agreed upon. It shows, in many respects, a great deal of confidence on the part of each individual and also on the part of their fellow professional members. It's not a step to be taken lightly, or one that should be accepted without consideration. This step was taken by three different groups with one important objective in mind: the continuing improvement of the educational standards of Wilkes College. Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possib le without surrender be o n good terms with all persons. Speak your tru t h quietly and clearly ; and listen t o others, even -r-he d ull a nd ig no rant; t hey too have thei r story . Avo id loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to t he spirit. If you compare yo urself with others, you may become vain and bitte r; for always there will be greater and !e;;ser persons than yourself. Enjoy yo ur achievements as weli as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in ,:hanging fortunes of time. Exercise cautio n in your business affairs; fo,- the wor ld is fu ll of t rickery . But let this not blind you to what virtue t here is; many persons strive for high ideals; and eve rywhere life is full of hero ism . Be yo urself. Especia ll y, do not feign affection . Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perenial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome .disciple, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And- whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your sou I. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dream, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. "Desiderata" Found in Old Saint Paul's Church, Baltimore; Dated 1692 Radio Station Needs Imaginative Workers To the Editor: Much has been written and discusse d of ]ate about the programming of the Wilkes College radio station WCLH. The writing and discussions ap pear to center chiefly around what the rumo r mills claim will be the program content and what a certain segment of the .student community claims should be the content. To date we have seen verv little ab out the question of philo;ophies and objectives. This letter is dedicated to trying to explain to the college community at large precisely why this station was created in the first place and what it hopes to accomplish. Wilkes College has changed much in the past few years. Chief among those changes is the shift in its student population from one which was wholly drawn from the Wyoming Valley to one which is far more cosmopolitan. This has its advantages for the school since it brings new ideas and experiences to the college and the community and reduces the extent and liabilities of provincialism. Despite these changes, however, Wilkes College retains the same goals as it had . when it was founded. These, as stated in the catalogue, are to provide a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. The purpose of WCLH is precisely the same as that of the college. Operation of a radio station NOTICE by students provides a useful The Administration announced that the Wilkes experience for the participants in Library has extended its hours.

A station of this ty pe should provide extensive , locally-originated programming. The valley has large , unassimila ted ethnic groups among the older generations which, except for the Italian and Polish communi ty, have been completely ignored by the local radio outlets because such programming is not economically feasible . Hopefully these groups could be brought closer to the modern community through programming, in their native tongue , directed specifically to this problem. The Beacon has from time to time crusaded against pollution, political corruption and the extreme conservatism characteristic of the area. How much more effective should be the planning and broadcasting of programs over the airways directed to these problems? The Beacon reaches the college community. WCLH, with an antenna on top of the highest mountain in the area , will cover from Binghamton to Allentown and could easily develop a role as the conscience of Northeast Pennsylvania.

Dr. Polgar, born in Hungary in I 900, stu<!_ied at the University of · Budapest majoring in psychology and economics. Before coming to the United States in the early l 930's, he had worked as a hypnotist under the direction of a physician. Dr. Polgar is the father of two children, both married. His daughter is a psychologist and his so n is an industrial engineer. In his future , Dr. Polgar plans an April trip to South Africa, and he would like to return to Vietnam to visit our soldie rs in the hospitals there. When asked about his special talent, Dr. Polgar replied , " It is a gift I have been born with. I am being unpretentious when I say I have a gift ; a person must have something. Just as a musician or a singer has talent, I have a talent you can elaborate on." He explained that a "good memory is not a matter of luck, rather it takes sufficient concentration and effort. " The topic for the evening was "Miracles of the Mind." Dr. Polgar stated that he works alone ; he has no accomplice. If anyone could prove that he was using trickery he offered them a five thousand dollar personal check , or 10 dollars in cash. The first demonstration dealt with memory. It consisted of 16 numbered blocks each containing one word. Dr. Polgar announced he could make the blocks add up to any number between 50 and 100. The chosen number was 71 and o ne-third. By having the audience call out the words in the blocks , Dr. Polgar was able to have a participant place his designated numbers in the boxes. When the blocks were added vertically , diagonally , horizontally and at four corners, Dr. Polgar explained that this was his own idea, ~ased on mathematics, memory, and three years of work . According to Dr. Polgar, the five senses are employed in memorization , the material memorized is stored in the human mind , and that knowledge remains with you fo r the rest of your life. He also stated that the most difficult problem he has is to forge t. .I t usually takes him 24 hours or more . · His second demonstration involved telepathy . His goal : to find his paycheck hidden somewhere in the auditorium. Dr. Polgar stepped outside , with a group of students to watch him , while his check was being hidden. Returning, he chose two members of the audience to be his guides. They were told to guide him in their minds as they would guide a blindman verbally. Dr. Polgar attained his goal ; his check was under a white hat on top of a student's head. He stated "the phenomena of telepathy does exist as an everyday occurance, but people do not think of it as such." He mentioned such examples as knowing who is on the telephone when it rings or the feeling of an upcoming death. Telepathy was the only means of commt1nication before civilization, but it "faded away and became dor mant as languages developed." After a short question and answer period , Dr. Polgar discussed hypnosis. "It is really a scientific matter belonging to the realm of psychology." A form of sleep, hypnosis has been known for a long time, as far back as the Asians , Romans, and Greeks. " It can only help you if there is nothing seriously wrong with you. Hypnosis is the result of your own mind ; your own concentration." Dr. Polgar's request for volunteers was answered with 20 participants filling the chairs on stage on a first come basis. Thursday evening proved to be a memorable experience for all who attended _the lecture. �THE BEACON Page 4 Exchanging Views by Gary Homing Enough h as been said about the past Homecoming Concert to fill all eight pages of the Beacon and then some . However , not enough has been said about future endeavors. ln accumulating in fo rmation for a story concerning the concert , this columnist came up with an assortment of ideas, concepts, and methods th e school could undertake to pull off a successful concert next spring. First in order of importance is crowd control. Nobody can enjoy a concert regardiess of whether the Who , Crosby , Stills, Nash, and Young, o r the Archies are playing if you are sur rounded by rude, rowdy p(,_ople. The recent Byrds concert was a combination of all the bad and no t enough of the good. The Eric Anderson slot was marred by what resembled human flies outside of the gymnasium windows . Regardle ss of whether or not these people were deprived of rightful seats (for many held legitimate tickets) they had no business climbing the gym walls, and Eric Anderson had every right to turn around an march off the stage. The Byrds were subjected to the same treatment but profited from the rather high volume of their style of music and thus overamplified their competition. The solutions to the crowd problems are not easy ones but Wilkes has the advantage of an activity fee that limits our reliance on outside help fo r the necessary revenue to p~omote a concert. Why not simply eliminate· those not associated with the college community. The school could sell tickets to Wilkes College students and their dates, no exception s. Seco ndly , the tickets should be of a nature such that counterfeiting would be all but impossible. Whether it be the blacklight system now used on the Jersey Shore or some alternate method , Student Government has got to come up with a foolproof ticket system and must begin investigating now. Another point of importance that S.G. must avoid in the future is the accumulation of a crowd outside of the building prior to the concert. The doors to the gy mnasium were still closed at 7: 30 on Sunday evening with a crowd of some 700 people backed up halfway across South Franklin Street. True , the Byrds were conduct ing sound che cks but that was only through their own tardiness in arriving in Wilkes•Barre. By allowing a crowd of sufficient magnitude to assemble ou tside of the gym, Mike Mariani and his aids were inadvertantly inviting trouble which is exactly wha t they got. The college should have the doors open to the public at least an hour and a half before the first act goes on to prevent a heavy crowd accumulation and the trouble it induces . Another question to be asked by all is the capability of the college gymnasium to handle a concert. Dean James Moss told this writer that as far as he is concerned, concerts at the gym are through . It is simply not large enough to handle the number of people and co ntributes to the problem by its location in a residential section of town. The solution, most obviously , the Kingston Armory . The problem, the Kingston Armory is an acoustical nightmare where even the best groups sound lousy. What to do ? Obviously look elsewhere but eliminate any ideas about merging with King's and throwing a show in their spacious gym. King's isn't interested and if it were, complications would eminate from the fact that Wilkes has money from an activity fee and King's doesn't. Despite the conce rn of finding a good facility in which to promote a concert , little talk has been heard about an obvious outlet. For the past two years, Magnus productions has promoted several concerts in the Comerford Theatre which surprisingly enough, is a very comfortable place in which to witness and enjoy a concert. It is isolated, can be protected from outside intruders, features acce ptable acoustics and would probably be available if plans are introduced far enough in advance. The price would certai nly be minimal when o ne considers that Wilkes paid $500 for the stage used in the Byrd's concert only to have it torn down following the show. The o nly foreseeable problem might lie in seating capacity which in turn might be alleviated by two shows. At any rate, the Wilkes Gym is out, the Kingston Armory should be out, so why not try a theatre which has enjoyed success in similar programming in the past? Finally, we the students of Wilkes College, deserve a choice. This columnist has been info rmed of the approximate sum of money available fo r the Spring Weekend concert and I assure you it's plenty, especially for a Sunday night production. It does no t , however, mean the Who or C.S.N.&Y will be appearing, but it does mean an outside shot at so me group like Chicago , Three Dog Night, or Poco. There should and hopefully will be a vote for the group to perform during Spring Weeke nd. If we are not afforded this opportunity , we have been wronged . A list should be composed of groups within the college's fi nancial means and the group chosen by the students should be booked. There is no reason why Wilkes should be subjected to the Three Dog Night episode of last spring. With majo rity rule as a rule, perhaps a truly successful concert at Wilkes can be realized.

Well , after th is last week spent in Wahington D.C. at the Sigma Delta Chi Journ alism Convention, I'd like to do a little editorializing by ' adding, "and usuall y does. " It 's next to impossible at this stage of the gam e with so much of the excitement of the con fere nce still fresh in my mi nd to write a completely obj eGtive account of the trip , but the one thing that will stand out in my mi nd forever is the friendline ss and cooperation of everyone we encoutered. It WAS fun - I guess I'd be lying to myself if I tried to convince anyone that it wasn't. Looking back over the experience right now , it became apparent just how deeply that one word education - what college is supposedly all about - fit into the picture. What I'm really trying to say that whole experience was simply a quick and painless way of getting an education. We were able to learn more in informal social gatherings than we possibly could have learned in two semesters of concentrated classroom study. Yes , gang, there is a real world out there, besides the Wyoming Valley . And they have ideas that are p~etty much the same as ours . Even the larger universities with 60 ,000 students have problems with the student paper, rifts between campus organizations and financial difficulties. ... Every segment of the professional conferences was open to all the students and each and every member of the profession made the effort to talk and socialize with the students. It was strange standing there talking to a few of them who actually had the look that said, "I was going through pretty much the same thing not too long ago ." Ronald Zeigler, . press secretary for President Nixon had the opportunity to convey his side of the White House to the group . Naturally we weren't about to let him go without some debate. The result? An honest criticism of White House press conferences with a great deal of insight into their fun ctions and necessity . Speaking of the White House - it has probably become apparent by now that the trip wasn't entirely one conference after another. One evening we had the chance to see a Washington-oriented flick - "Milhous, A White Comedy." It's not hard to guess the content of the film . It's a cleverly executed series of short excerpts taken from the campaigning speeches and press conferences of Richard M. Nixon . One of the strongest defenses in journalism is to let the facts speak for themselves. This is exactly the plan of the movie. The series of quips are arranged in sequence and with very little narration are allowed the priviledge of speaking for themselves. _ Of course, there were the usual tours of sites around the city , along with a few not-so-unusual tours. Thursday night was one such unconventional tour where I ended up in front of the White House talking to members of the Quaker Vigil for peace who were sitting on the side walk in near freezing temperatures maintaining an around the clock vigil which sought peace immediately. _ The lone couple that evening was determined - they had to be in order to endure the cold . Policemen and guards were actually sympathetic and offered hot coffee. A somewhat more radical group had been arrested earlier that evening, yet the couple seemed undisturbed by the arrests. Husbands Lib anyone? Well, male members of the reading audience will be pleased to learn that one member of your sex is out petitioning for your rights. No, I'm not exagerating.

Our o, MY M1-t,1D I have always related to that garden in a strange sort of way. It 's as though I identify with it. Actually , I came upon the garden quite by chance - a few weeks ago , while taking an afternoon walk. I thought I had remembered a short cut to the town square - an alley, unpaved, with a row of dingy, wood-frame houses on one side, facing a huge, vacant lot which showed no evidence of life except for the clumps of ragweed which it had grudgingly nurtured . I had such a clear and distind memory of that alley, even though I'd never seen it before in my life. I felt I was being drawn towards it , held spellbound, beckoned to that garden which seemed to - . Enough of this nonsense . What happened is that I simply came upon this garden by chance. It wasn' t until after I saw it , after I had sized up my situation, that I acquired the feeling of being drawn to it like a fated hero in an overworked play. Until I actually reached that garden and acquainted myself with it , I hadn't the vaguest realization of the significance which it was to hoid fo r me. It 's not that the garden was anything special - I had seen hundreds of gardens just like it before. In fact , this garden appeared , at first , to possess a certain inferiority to other gardens, almost as if it lacked something - . But what it lacked , I hadn't the slightest idea. It was small , as gardens go , and it was certainly not attractive. No , it was downright ugly . And that's why I was attracted to that garden, why I came to identify with it. For , it was ugly, disordered, it was a nuisance. I co uldn't imagine why anyone should want to spend any time at all in that wretched garden. It was a nuisance , that 's all there is to it. A leech , a parasite , just sitting there , begging to be noticed , to be appreciated , to be cared for. The thought of it disgusted me, and I resolved to tear up that garden. I would stamp it to dust , tram ple over every last , wilted flo wer - . Just then, my plans were interrupted. I became conscious of someone walking through the garden. A young girl. I studied her as she stopped to examine one of her drooping flowers . Her eyes betrayed a strange type of horror. I remember thinking that she was experienced beyond her years. She kept her lips pursed tight , while humming a melody which I immediately recognized. It wa's "Greensleeves," an old favorite of mine. My- mind began to wander as she hummed softly. Her hands were so white and delicate! She held up one of her flowers . The notes of "Greensleeves" were dispersed from my mind, and replaced by another wave of disgust. That flower was just a nuisance. It was limp, wilted, ugly. And how she caressed it! She seemed not to notice how ugly it was . Maybe she didn't care. But it bothered me. It infuriated me . I wanted to crush that flower into a lifeless blob . I wanted to stomp it in-to the dirt , and grind it to a pulp. I wanted to grab that girl by the shoulders and shake her senseless , and shout in her face - FOOL! You total idiot! What a way to waste your time. That parasite is no good to anyone . It's disgusting ; can't you see , it 's enough to make one sick. It's a nuisance - . She continued to hum "Greensleeves" as she tenderly cared for that flower . The notes of her melody found their way back into my consciousness. What could she possibly see in that flower ; what good is it to her? What is it that could want to make her want to care for a useless, wilted flower - a nuisance? "It must be the song," I said aloud . This startled the girl , who had been unaware of my presence. " It's the song, isn't it?" I waited for an answer. I really wanted to know. The girl just sat there , looking puzzled and afraid. I felt sorry for her. And then I knew. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "If you say so - I gue ss it's the song." Then she smiled at me. I shrugged my shoulders. And I smiled back. �THE BEACON Page 6 November 18, 197 1 r Colone/s'Booters Bow In Championship Tilt Defense Highlights Fray ; Squad Finishes At 8 -4-2 The Wilkes College soccer squad had their MAC title hopes dashed Saturday when a taller , powerful Elizabethtown team defeated them 3-0 at Ralston Field. The triumph gave Elizabethtown the Middle Atlantic Conference championship and the right to proceed on to tournament play for the national title. The vic,tors first tallied with 39 seconds remaining in the second period when Myer took a pass from Good and drilled a ground shot past Wilkes' diving goalie, co-captain, Chip Eaton. Jacobs notched the next Elizabethtown goal with an assist from Denlinger at 14:04 of the third period. The winner's final goal came with 13 :35 remaining in the contest with Myer scoring his second goal of the day. Delinger again got the assist. Despite a partisan turnout of approximately 600 fans, the .Colonel offense sputtered all afternoon. Wilkes managed but seven shots in the contest wh ile Elizabethtown fired 29 at Wilkes' All-American candidate, Eaton, who registered 16 saves to polish off a stellar career. Excelling on defense for the Blue ane Gold were fullbacks Roger Danbury, Jerry Blade and co-captain Bob Linaberry who was carried from the field and rushed to the hospital in the final canto after incurring a prob~ble bone bruise or frac ture of leg. Goalie of the 1966 Wilkes championship crew, Rokita, also indicated that the Colonels played one of their finest games as he afterwards commented in the dressing room," Yo u can't do more that your best." Losing only th ree lettermen, the Colonels should once again be serious contenders next fall when their most prolific scorer, Ed Garabedian , will Ed Ga rabedian giving dancing lessons? No, he's just using his head . Despite being plagued by mononucleosis, retu rn along with offensive standou ts George Bene Hoane and Stellios Ed, as did all of the Colonels, performed admirably well in Saturday's championship.

Slocum won total pins by the slim margin of 3 thereby defeating the Japs 3-1. Other games found Gore victorious over the Froshmore 3-1; High man for Dirksen was team captain Fred Brickel with a 187-514. High for the F renolles was Joey Leone bowling a 179-514. Big Donnie Drust made the differern;e for Slocum with scores of 197 and a high triple of 517. Priapus could not come up with the backing to bolster Chick Andrews' highs of 213-518. Top man for Gore was Bob Howes with a high single of 212 and triple of 507. The Froshmore's combined efforts consisted of Roy Seigal's high triple 453 and Waldo Thompson's high single of 184.

Similar thoughts must have danced through 21 Wilkes Colonels seniors' minds prior to and during last Saturday's curtain drawing on the 1971 fall sports campaign. Unfortunately, only one of the three men's athletic squads managed to conclude its season with a victory. The females, too terminated their hockey seasons regular schedule with a triumph, but they were then soundly trounced in tournament play. · Football, soccer , cross-country , field hockey . The physical demands of these sports we know are tremendous. Dissenters on this point may contact Bill Horan, Bob Linaberry, Gary Homing , or Debbie Brackenstow for a perorati.on. As key members of their respective squads, they all at one time or another this season incurred injuries that prevented their participation in their sport. The psychological demands too, although often given less attention, are at times extroadinarily menacing. I think Garf Jones best echoed the sentiments of many of the seniors athletes when he stated that his most difficult task in football was "getting up psychologically for the practices after six years or following the same routine. "Of course, just plain old budgeting of time and nurturing the "cum" can also get to be a mammouth hassle when you're an athlete. · But for the most part, and in most cases; for four years, these 2 I Wilkes seniors have managed to parry, avoid, control, or cope with these perennial bugaboos.

The Mini-mite shattered three Wilkes records in his last appearance in a Colonel uniform. He broke the record held by Leo Castle • since 1949 for the most touchdowns scored in one game, (4) and he also set new marks for the most points scored in a season(80) and most career points (I 58). These records, formerly held by John Florkiewicz , had also been intact since 1949. Giberson completed 13 of 20 passes for 223 yards and also set a Colonel season mark for passing with 86 completions in 162 attempts for 1,290 yards. He snapped the record held by Richard Roshong in 1965. The Blue Bold defense was led by Frank Galicki and Tony Cardinale. Galicki struck for nine tackles and six assists while Cardinale registered ten tackles, four assists and hauled in one ir,terception. Wilkes tallied first afteJ Rich Lorenzen recovered a Muskingum fumble on the opening kickoff. The Colonels ·marched 23 yards as Giberson Dan Walters with a 19 yard aerial on a third down and nine play. Terry Blaum connected on the PAT. With 8:44 left in the first quarter, Wilkes scored again, moving 52 yards in nine plays with Yeager going over from the four. Giberson's 19 yard flip to George Sillup highlighted the drive. Blaum again hit on the PAT. Wilkes once again scored with 1:08 left in the half, as they moved 69 yards in six plays. Giberson's 48 yard bomb to Walters set up his ten yard scoring pitch to John Collins. Blaum's PAT was true. The Colonel offense again drove to pay dirt early in the third period when Northwest Highschool product. Mike Barski, stepped in to engineer a five play 57 yard scoring drive that followed Ron Fritts' fumble recovery . Barski fired a 42 yard strike to Neil Langdon and Yeager culminated the drive with a one-yard plunge. The Colonels continued relentlessly and mounted another offensive as they marched 62 yards in five plays with Yeager scoring on a 27 yard screen play from Giberson. PAT was missed. Muskingum finally reached the scoreboard in the final quarter when Jim Rockwell moved in from two yards out. The try for a two-point conversion failed.

Spotlighting DAN At six foot, four inches, lanky split end Dan Walters, provided quarterback Jeff Giberson his biggest target this season. Walters emerged as one of the Colonels most dependabie stars in hauling 13 aerials good for 230 yards and one touchdown after playing in Bill Lazor's shadow for three campaigns. The Wyoming Valley West High School graduate, disillusioned by the confusion caused by his school's jointure, never went out for scholastic football after his sophomore year. He hadn't planned either to participate in football at Wilkes until he received a mailed invitation from Goach Schmidt to try out. A National Honor Society student and an American Legion Award winner, the Kingston native's greatest sports thrill came against Muskingum last Saturday when he latched on to a 19 yard pass to score his first TD as a Colonel. "The toughest things for an end," says Dan, "are the obvious; getting open, and catching the ball." The senior Chemistry major's future plans are to attend Officer's Candidate School at Newport, Rhode Island, to prepare him to be a member of the Navy's nuclear power division. Dan deems the spirit in the athletic program to be tantamount to Coach Schmidt's leadership ability which he terms, "tremendous._" PRISM (From Page_ 6) Conspicuously missing and purposely saved for last is the 21st, who ironically (hum?) wears jersey no. 21, and is Ted Yeager. Conjecture here is that jersey No. 21 will be retired by the school. There are three reasons. First, unless shoulder pads and spines go out of style, no one will ever fit into it. Second, after overwhelming, inexorable, and merciless batterings by oppon~nts, the jersey's threads will be luck-y to survive a showcase's moth's attack, let alone that of an irate_football player.

W-B Owned by Steve Cooney Class of 1960 By Val Aiello and Kathy Davies If one could categorize hockey teams among the greats, last weekend was the time to do it. Wilson College, Gettysburg, Penn State , just to name a few, displayed the skills that eventually placed many of their players on the Susquehanna squads. Wilkes was also a part of this important event in the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association. Although not placing anyone on the squads, the team faired very well against such competito rs as Gettysburg, Shippensburg, Center County and Susquehanna. Being what one might call the "rookie" team of the association, Wilkes had several close, as well as disheartening, matches. Scoring goals for the Colonelettes were Kathy Haughey against Gettysburg and Donna Donsces against Bucknell University. On the lighter side of the weekend , special attention must be paid for those raffle winners: Laraine Mancuso, Stephanie Pufko, Kathy Koterba, and Lindsay Farley. Although the season officially ended with the Susquehanna Tournament, the Colonellettes finished their regular season with two wins against College Misercordia and Keystone College. Scoring four goals against the "Highlanders," the Wilkes record evened at 3-3. Offensive standouts were Donna Donsces and Carolyn Gregory scoring one and two goals respectively. The defense, while striking up another shut-out, also took part in the offense. Center halfback, Stephanie Pufko scored her first goal of the season from the top of the striking circle. The season ended on a happy note with a 6-0 win over Keystone College. This brought the season log to 4-3. Leading the offense was Donna Doncses who had a game high of three goals, which brings her total season number to seven. Carolyn Gregory, Kathy Haughey, and senior co-captain Jean Adams each tallied one. The Keystone match marked the last game for senior co-captains Jean Adams and Kathy Koterba. In this final game both finished their college careers with outstanding performances and their efforts will be missed. The Colonelettes will carry their four game winning streak into next season.

Whereas commercial stations usually pick a particular format and stick with it to develop a loyal, if single-minded audience, there are so many things for Wilkes radio to do that the program schedule looks right now like a patchwork quilt. There is in the tentative schedule everything in music from Swedish rock and Mantovani-style dinner music to grand opera and Bantu folk music. Anyone who says this is a purely classical station hasn't looked at the record list. The spoken word programs range from the old-time radio show Lum and Abner to lectures on the moral crisis in the United States. We have had a standing offer to provide time to any student who can set up a good progressive jazz program. The offer has not been taken up . Initially, much of the programming must be canned. Locally-originated programs require much preparation, as those who volunteer to become involved in such preparations will find out. It is far better to begin with one or two professionally-executed loclfl programs, and after they are successful move on to other such projects, than it is to throw IO or 12 lousy jobs on the air at once, turning off any potential audience and creating a disaster area which would have to be cleaned up before starting all over again from the beginning. The undersigned is primarily respo nsible for the development of the initial program outline. He is perfectly aware that it may not work at all and he would be dumbfounded if it worked in its entirety. It represents a beginning in a field which has never before been touched in this Valley. By trial and error and by retaining flexibility in its approach, Wilkes Radio can become a major service to the community and to the Wilkes Student body. The undersigned, while officially on leave · this semester, is prepared to discuss programs and program content with any student, faculty member or member of the local community. Don't bother me with such discussions unless you are prepared to show whom such programs will benefit, or unless you can provide a practical plan of action in developing and producing such programs.

Calling all junior and senior males with draft lottery numbers higher than 125 ! If you fall into this bracket, or ybu are an underclassman born prior to I 952 , with a lottery number higher than 125 , DROP YOUR 2-S DEFERMENT BEFORE DECEMBER 31 ! The reason for the statement above is obvious. Anyone who will be , exposed to the draft need only be exposed for a part of a calendar year. And with only three weeks left in the current year, students dropping deferments will only be exposed for those three weeks or less and are ·certain not to be called for induction if their lottery number falls above 125. Thus in one fell swoop, a male falling into the above category can legally avoid the draft and _its numerous headaches prior to graduation day. · The means of beating the draft are a product of none other than Curtis W. Tarr , Director of the Selective Service. On November 11, the Associated Press printed the following story . WASHINGTON, Nov.I I (AP) - Curtis W. Tarr, the director of Selective Service , has told draft boards nationwide fo allow men who have been deferred to drop their deferments if they choose to do so by Dec. 31. Such an action by eligible young men with numbers of 126 or higher would give them brief exposure to the risk of being drafted , and they would slip into a lower category Jan . I , if they escape the draft until then . The rule applies only to men born in 1951 or earlier not to those turning 19 this year who received numbers last July . . • Mr. Tarr said "our purpose is to achieve fairness to all registrants in determining their priority status on Jan . 1 and to limit the uncertainty that young men with high random-sequence numbers face. Registrants ~ith student , occupational , paternity , agriculture and hardship deferments will be eligible to take advantage of this policy." Men with numbers125 or lower who are not drafted by Jan. I will have their prime liability for induction extended to March 1. Most are expected to be drafted because the new national uniform call brings in men nationwide by the same numbers. Methods of dropping a 2-S deferment vary between submitting a letter or appearing in person and requesting a reclassification of 1-A. And rest assured that following Dr . Tarr's· order of the past November , your local board must give you that 1-A classification if you so request it. A letter need only say: To -members of local board number- - -, I am currently classified 2-S and wish to drop my 2-S deferment and be re classified I -A prior to December 31, l 97i , in accordance with the recent statement issued by Dr. Tarr concetr1ing the advisability of such action o n 1, the part of students born prior to 1952 and carrying lottery numbers higher than 125 . Thank you, your name, accompanied by your selective service number which is found on personal draft card . A point worthy of mention here concerns your stat us- sho~Jd . you _ pursue the course of action suggested in this column.dues not e!Immate the chance of being called in the future . However, as David E. Rosenbaum put it in a special report to the New York Times, "Tec_hn!cally, those wit~ lottery numbers above 125 are placed in a low pnonty group that 1s subject to conscription only if all those positions of higher priority are drafted . Selective Service officials said today that the low priority pool would not be tapped unless annual draft calls exceeded 400,000 men. There has been no year since World War II when calls have been this high. By the end of this year, 98,(:)00 men will have been drafted. In . 1966, at the peak of the build-up for the Vietnam war, 382,000 men were drafted. The Government is now committed to calling reserves to active duty before there is a substantial increase in draft calls. Last year, the first year in which the lottery system of selection was in effect, the cut-off number for those drafted was 195 . Thus, if you're currently classified 2-S and were born prior to l ?52 and have a number above 125, don't be foolish . Get that letter mailed (classified so there is no chance that the Jetter won't arrive or won't be overlooked when it does arrive). Such action will obviously enhance chances of employment upon graduation and make your nerves rest a little easier if by any chance the United States gets involved in the Middle East or Pakistan during the course of the next few years. Any questions concerning complicated matters pertinant to the draft- should be forwarded to a draft counselor. David E. Bravman of 170 Butler Street in Kingston is an excellent one who can be trusted and will never answer a question beyond his means. If you are in trouble and want a way out, I suggest you contact him at 287-0906 for some expert advice concerning the draft.

This attitude has prevailed for some time, but concrete reasons have finally been offered in the form of a report of the attitudes and opinions of the student body which was submitted to the Committee of Student Life last Friday. It was composed after studying several hundred questionnaires and considering the opinions of individual students through personal interviews. As is stated in the report, the survey is far from complete, but it does suggest several ideas worthy of the consideration of the f~culty and Administration. Under the title, "Why the Report/' it is stated that: "the students seem to possess a high degree of doubt as to almost any campus-based issue. They seem suspicious and untrusting. We looked for an answer to this condition, and one of the writers of this report expressed it as the 'resignation to defeat." The "Resignation to Defeat," as simply defined means that the student of Wilkes College holds no hope for change; that nothing will improve his condition, that any proposal submitted wiU be knocked down without consideration." Whether or not this is true seems not nearl'l so relevant as the fact that this is felt in varying degrees by the majority of the students. The issues discussed in the report are by no contained in the report, for it is evident to anyone who reads it that some recommendations are impractical because of various problems, such as funding or physical space. What the students expect, (and what any human being has the right to expect) is the mutual concern and cooperation for the betterment of social and academic conditions at Wilkes. Therefore, if we are correct in assuming that the Administration does care, there is something concrete which it can deal with. It will take much work by Administration, faculty and students, and the work must begin now. The report is not perfect. But neither are conditions at Wilkes. A group effort to move the school forward is desperately needed. The Beacon supports any responsible efforts made with this goal in mind.

Moran entitled "Mariani and Crew Commended." Mr. Moran stated that a "potential danger" exist~d at the Byrds concert. What he did not mention, however, is that Mariani and his cowardly crew caused this danger by closing the doors without a word of explanation or promise of compensation to the titket-holding students outside. It was the Willces-Barre City police who pressured Mariani to guarantee refunds to those students denied admission. It was also the Wilkes-Barre City police who dispersed the vast majority of the estimated 300 people outside. It was after most of Rags And Tag1 the crowd had left that "members Questioneci of the Lettermen's Club" emerged from the safety of the gymnasium.

Cl a$S Funds Inadequate To the Editor: ; J To the Editor: I find your suggestion for lower class allotments from the activities fee almost unnerving. (Editorial in November 11 , · 1971 issue of the BEACON). In the first place, the amount you stated ($1,000) is 1 \ wrong. Representatives from the ) t'reshmen, sophomore and junior I classes met with the Budget Committee last spring and as a result of that meeting the allotment was raised to $1250. Obviously, 11 i. there are some who feel the l allotment of $1 ,000 from last year was not adequate to meet class needs. , Each class represents ) approximately one quarter of the.,. 'College population. Yet, our !I allotment from Student is just a little over one 1,.1· Government fiftieth of what they collect in activities fees (2,500 students times $20 equals $50,000). Quite contrary to your suggestion, I believe the allotment should be , increased ; the classes represent more students than any other group on campus. We have Dinner-dances, ·, 6utings, sponsor a Christmas party for underpriviledged children in the area, etc. These activities are for one fourth of the college population; what other group on campus can make this claim? It has been my experience that there's not 1 enough funds - rather than there's • too much. ' We pay an activities fee for the " "campus functions that we have so 'there is no opportunity to make money like before the activities fee . ' And , too many times already the Administration uses our money for purposes other than " student activities" - ie. building projects, screens for the C.P.A. etc. · Also , please ask the members of the Student Life Committee, who supposedly received your idea well, ' how many times in the last two ~ ears the Student Government has squandered our money. Compare this amount to our class allotments. • With these factors in mind , your ' theory becomes nothing more than a mere joke. t Roy V. Hollabaugh Senior Class Treasurer 11lagnus Pleads Immunity To the Editor: Referring to an article in the lovember 11 , 1971 , issue of the 1eacon your article refers to "a 1romoter" who stated he could buy '1.e Byrds for a low price . Since there are only two or three production companies in the city, I think you should have reported the company who stated his position, rather than leave a question as to which of the few companies made the statement. I would appreciate an insertion that MAGNUS was not involved in any gossip that was associated with foe Middleton or his friendly "local promoter."

Very truly yours, Joe Nardone November 19, 1971 Page 5 BEACON Thursday, December 9, 1971 I'm sure I could have asked this question personally of you, but I wanted the answer to be available · to every student. Why is the Beacon a superior and sensational example of censorship? l understand there is much red tape , but this censorship leaves many a student with the idea that the Beacon is completely controlled by the Administration. For an example, let us observe the issue of visitation last year. This was no minor issue , for it was directly influential to our decaying social life at Wilkes. Over 90 per cent of the students who partook in a specific survey were in favor of this new visitation policy. Yet, the Beacon stated a view againsfthe policy. The Beacon is the voice of the students, RIGHT? Well, then why take an _opposite view than what the students felt? Face up to the facts , Beacon, "your paper," not · the students, is a puppet of the · Administration; tha't will never change. · So then why write this letter? Because I want the students to do something. Like what? BURN THE BEACON!!!!

Joe Paterno has a good t;:.teve Jones The problem is that· more and more athletes are exploiting college solely as a means to gain entry into professional sports. • It seems that many of the athletes see entering college only as a means of gaining access to the college fields and courts. ,:Here, if good enough, they garner publicity which in turn attracts the pro1essional scouts. Contrary to widespread myth though not all athletes are the hulking cretins they've sometimes been depicted as. Most realize the importance of a college education. Many realize too that the pro scouts represent potential bonus contracts which, re_gardless of _the athlete's l~ter suc~ess or failure in the sport , can afford him almost h(e long financial secunty. And they realize that the route to this security is through their athletic • performance. Hence they take steps to assure that their skillful exhibitions go unhampered by outside tensions and problems. One of the most popular maneuvers of the star athlete is to take a relaxed curriculum _ something less than the full load. This provides him more leisure time and theoretically removes the anxiety from an otherwise deadline-imbued schedule. It also means he'll have to enroll for another semester or two to graduate. _ For those of this category who are drafted and/or awarded bonus contracts the belief that they will pick up their college degree following their athletic career seldom becomes a reality. In order to halt this unfortunate trend, Paterno has suggested that every athlete be required to .

BEAR DE from pg. 7 500 - yes , five hundred - high schools already in an effort to attract additional higher calibre and taller players to the Wilkes campus. Coach Bearde believes that one of_ his biggest assets in recruiting athletes is that all of the other Wilkes major sports are successful. "Our goal," he says, "is to catch u ,, o. According to Coach Bearde, Shahay will be the team spark plug and will set up the offensive plays. Vying for the center position will be Bachkosky, Kurosky and a freshman from Plains, 6 foot , 3 inch Clarence Ozgo who Bearde terms "an aggressive , hard nose player who should help us." Kurosky started last season and his experience should be an immense asset. Bearde also asserts, "Caterson should have a big year if he's willing to play at both _ends' of the court." Experience-~ise, though, the squad is smarting. Four starters who started for the last four seasons are now graduated . The Colonels' primary weakness appears to be board strength. Avers Bearde, "We need a lot of work at blocking out for rebounds. · · The ou tside shoo ting game should be the team's most potent face t. "We'll do well there," says Bearde with a reserved optimism. His reserva tions stem fro m the fact that it 's difficult to win consistently when a team must prim arily rely on its outside shoo ting accu racy . Coach Bearde hopes for good ra n support , including at the holiday Berwick Tournamen t on Dece mb e r 2 9-30 . Wilkes, Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg and Lycoming will lock horn s there. PR ISM from pg. 6 pass a certain number of credits each year (i.e. eno~gh to advance one year academically) to be eligible to participate in varsity competition the next year. At worse, this, suggestion seems mildly coercive, and no doubt if adopted will engender arguments by athletes that club and organization members be treated equally. But the Paterno plan could also serve as an institutional safeguard against those athletes who never planned to earn a degree while at the same time it would ensure a degree and its concomitant satisfying prestigioµs and monetary aspects to the "career professional athlete" who may or may not have lasted a career. Let's wish Joe a little more luck with this idea than he had with his "extra-game" proposal. _ ·112 PRICE COLOR P .R INTS?

The reasons Kerry was asking Student Government to take action in this situation was to protect Miss Chaffey's aid. next semester and to force the college to set their policy precisely as to what actions would justify the loss of scholarship money . Kerry was further dismayed with the indfectiveness of the Judicial Council when confronted with this problem. Ross Piazza, a· council representative, explained that the student court couldn't prosecute the administration . And since Miss Chaffey's dilemma wouldn't begin until next semester, Jim Loftus argued that Student Government should wait to take action. Other councilmen were quick to take the offensive. George Pagliaro , president of Inter Dormitory Council, lashed out against what appeared to be administration meddling in students' private affairs. Committeeman Dave Bickel asked Student Government tofind out exactly what legal powers the college had over its students. Giff Capellini also raised the banner in support of Kerry and Miss Chaffey , remarking again that the whole thing was a private matter and the administration had no right to interfere. As the heat of debate cooled, Tony Cardinale asked the councilmen to .take their time and to permit the administration to give their side of the · story before passing j udge ment. Lee Auerbach drew up and successfully moved a req uest fo r more information on the part of the college in this affair.

Tickets are available at the Wilkes College Bookstore. Activity Fund Committee, A hand-vo te approved a policy statement fo r the Activity Fee Fund Committee. The new policy breaks student organiz;,tions into four categories to distinguish their money making capabilities. Auerbach requested Student Government to attempt to reclaim some appropriations that were granted to Theta Delta Rho that weren't used, since the Special Projects Fund was running low. Calendar As it presently stands , the new college calendar will consist of four days off for Thanksgiving, 33 days off for intermission and 16 days off for Easter recess. But the final decision has yet to be made . Student Government President, Howie Tune , reported that student representation has been accepted for the faculty · meetings. However , the motion which would allow a member of the Beacon to attend is still under consideration. Finally, the Concert Committee presented the names of possible groups to appear at the next concert. �Page 2 THE BEACON December 16, 1971 18 Year Old Appointed I~-------~---------------, one's own account I ~-----------------------J I The nation's first eigh teen-year-old local draft board member was appointed under the terms of the recent ly enacted amendments to the draft law which set the minimum age requirement for local draft board membership atagel8.

And it really isn't anybody's fault anymore . If you want to get ahead, or maybe if you just want to live, you have to step on somebody. You have to be two steps ahead of the other guy . You can't give of yourself, because there is always going to be someone who will take too much. You can't believe in people, because there is always going to be someone who will Jet you down. I'd like to see the whole world standing hand in hand too, but I can't help but wonder if there wouldn't be someone somewhere plotting to take over while everyone else was too busy loving each other to stop him. There is so much bad in the world - that it's difficult to keep from being completely overwhelmed by it. But having said all that, I still have a littie bit of faith.

He can make up his own individual package by assembling five basic units that comprise a complete program. ' This modular unit concept is being introduced for Summer , I 972, by Continental Study Projects, Inc., specialists in student travel. It was developed to serve the varying needs of these young travelers. "If they want to study in England, travel through Scandinavia, spend a week or two at a seaside holiday center in Italy," says Mrs. Bitingon, a Director of Continental Study Projects, "they can choose when to go - how to get there - how to live - and how long they want to stay." The five units are: I) (Continued on Page 8) once read an a rticle which defined journalism as an art ; more impor tantly , an art of understandi'tlg. Just recently the fu ll impact of that statement hit me and I came to realize how meaningful that und erstan ding has to be, especially when it comes to involve people. Without ap pearing to sound se ntimental , I have come to comprehend the full merit of the word understanding, and it is truly an art in every sense of the word. When you look around it becomes apparent just h ow deeply each one o f us is involved in life ourselves. It then becomes a matter of discipline to be able to reach out and accept the shortcom ings 6f o thers and realize that eac h ind ividu al, no matter how he may appear in the general consensus of opinio n , has a great deal of worth . There is no way o f telling how any of us would react in any given situation , so it then follows that to co ndemn a person for his reactions is hypocritical. Yes , understanding is in many ways a di scipline, but mo~e importan tly it is like art in one other sense. Ju st as some people are born naturally talented and o thers can never draw a straight line with a ruler, some peo ple can und erstand without ha ving to ask qu estions in a very natural sort of way when o thers wo uld never be capable o f registering even a minu te fract io n of the impact. It wo uld be o nly too easy to accept the theory that each person is an individ ual with his personality free from outside influen ces. But this theo ry has been proven false time and time again , at least in n1 y limited range of experience. Many ti mes this understanding is something within the individual that deserves no cre dit on the part of the individual. Some people have bee n fortunate enough to be exposed to a strong fa mily background where they have had to fight and have been instill,e d with strong moral convictions. I' m not attempting to be sadistic when I use the term fortunate with problems, but only too often it has been proven that even the worst situations have made a person a better individual for having struggled through and overcome them. Other individuals, on the other hand , have had the easy way throughout life and have had no real problems to tackle and overcome. These are the very people who can justify making moral judgements, without having a deep understanding of the problem at hand. I u~e ' the terms fortunate and unfortunate loosely in these cases , simply because I honestly believe that even the most disasterous experiences can affect people in a positive sense. Sometimes when I stop to 100k around and see people who are able to observe situations and people in terms of black and white, I be~ome extremely depressed . Understanding, naturally enough, has to be based on some prior experiences. The nature and depth of those experiences will be an indication of the nature of the understanding that can and will be utilized. · My first reaction is to envy this type of person, simply because his life is so basic and uncomplicated . Upon deeper consideration it becomes evident that the envy is only superficial. I would much rather have the depth of understanding necessary for a complete and full life than _the superficial tone. I guess what it really boils down to is that when anything makes a deep impression on you, especially when it involves an individual , not even the severest remarks of others can change that image. Getting back to my original thought of journalism bei~g an art of understanding , nothing _can really change any of that. Journalism teaches an understanding that is so vital in coming to grips with a situation at a time that you normally wouldn't be able to think of such a thing. It requires, and sometimes even demands, a firm command of the situation and a questioning curiosity. This curiosity at times can be answered without words. These words at times become almost unnecessary. Phrases are completed way ahead of time within the mind of another, almost as if the very act of voicing them was a sin. Journalism is an art, a role not to be taken lightly in any way. It is more, much more, than communication, it is a very deep und~rstanding of man's role in this strange ; strange world of ours.

How about giving yourself and sharing some experiences wth others? What we would like to offer in the way of gifts comes in the form of some food for thought. As the fall semester of 1971 draws to a close and the beginning of a new semester is just approaching, it becomes a matter of One of the major questions posed by reviewing the list of priorities each of us has formulated : students from other colleges _who are visiting Wilkes is, "Where is the Student Union It has been a full, and sometimes, a pretty Center?" A Wilkes student can only hope to hectic semester, but al5'l a semester of conceal embarrassment as he responds, "What constructive effort on the part of students, Student Union Center?" faculty and administration. No one can really forsee just what will come about in the near Wilkes has two major areas where students future, but it is still important to ponder the can gather to have a cigarette, a cup of coffee past and look to the future for new and better or just a period of relaxed socialization. The achievements. first area is the Commons, which immediately poses a number of problems. In order for any progress to be made on the Wilkes College campus there will of The Commons is entirely too small to necessity have to be a joint effort on the part accommodate the large number of students of the students, faculty, and administrations. that could possibly use it during the day. This Many of the issues are not new, some have results in a division of day and dorm students, been rehashed for the past three years, isn't it simply because the day students have no about time we stood up and did something other place to go and the dorm students can't constructive? all be accommodated in the Commons. The hours the building is open are again limited.

Student Union A student union center might be one of the considerati?ns to ponder as well. Perhaps we could see more independant research courses and intern programs in all fields of endeavor. We can well appreciate the fact that funds are pretty tight especially with construction of the New Learning Center, but surely there is some possibility of alleviating the problem right now. Calendar changes are ranked high on the list of priorities. Spending 10 days home for Thanksgiving, coming back to school for three weeks~ going home for two weeks for Christmas, coming back to school for two and a half weeks, then taking another break. Surely the cycle appears a bit ridiculous. Hours for the Commons might be extended, or possibly another building, already in use, could be given up for this purpose. The need is there, surely there is a solution to be found. The list could go on and on, but the point is clear. The issues are numerous and the time for thinking and acting is right now. It then becomes the important task of organizations on campus, primarily Student Government Merry Christmas See You In February Bishton's So"lution: Curb Petty System To the Editor: I sympathize with the Beacon's efforts to record and report the constant turmoil of our student government. It is a thankless task . Over Thanksgiving vacation I visited the United Nations as a guest of the Republic of South Africa. Some of the most politically brilliant men work there to get what they can for their country. I sat in on a meeting of the Economic committee and heard people say things like, "If it pleases the distinguished re pre sen ta tive of - " and "I sincerely thank the distinguished re pre sen ta tive of for his comment concerning this important issue, but if I may be permitted to point out - "and all they are really saying is you're all wet! And at that meeting of the Economic committee, the Russian government verbally beat the hell out of th._e UN newspaper in the most eloquent and unoffensive language I've ever heard for what amounted to a slight conclusion the paper drew from a direct quote made by a Russian representative. That paper is a magnificent example of clear reporting. But they are still valuable because of the slight political connotations that may be drawn from any statement they make. We . : ome back to Wilkes College. Incredibly petty by comparison but with a similar situation. The Beacon must becareful when it draws conclusions or summaries of what transpired , because the students made it verbatim . They don't realize that the Beacon must cut out material to summarize a point, thereby often changing its meaning and impact. The UN Journal also has a thankless task of reporting what transpired, but they have the courtesy to jot down conclusions and ask the people who they are quoting if those conclusions are an accurate summary of what they were trying to say. Maybe the Beacon can improve the accuracy of their "Thankless task" by being less petty by comparison and initiating the same system . I congratulate the paper on its effort to attempt this undertaking, if not the results. Good luck . Sincerely , Michael Bishton Mariani Replies To - Gabellnic Dear Mr. Gabellnic; Speaking in terms of a "coward," the name "coward" is too generous a name to call you . Fred Gabellnic is currently an unknown hiding behind his anonymous name ; this is a practice done only by gutless wonders - The question arises as to tpe specific reason I locked the door. The answer - to protect the gym from internal trouble. Some "clown" threw a bottle through the front door window and outside there still remained many rowdy ticketless bystanders. The door was not locked until 8: 15, so everyone who arrived at the proper time did gain admittance. I had no intention of allowing these irate gate crashers into the gym and cause internal disorder. My apologies were extended to all those who had tickets, but were not admitted - these people were compensated for this inconvenience. You have labeled my crew and The Lettermen as "cowards." Each and everyone of these men is ten times the "man" you are or ever will be!!! The police did an excellent job and received a note of thanks . These men handled the job well and were harassed by many in the process.

A person's own ~w~ must be very shakey if he is rerse to listening to a dissenting pinion." Who is guilty of this? The students o r the Beacon? Now: Who is hypocritical? This letter was written by Miss Bednar with a post script by Richard Finkelstein Mr. Finkelstein's letter brings up ll{)int which I feel I must ,~ment on. I'm not sure I nderstand the meaning of his ,etter, but that may be more my fault than his, because I also don't think he understood the editorial to which he makes reference. What he objects to, (I think) is ~he last sentence, which I must admit is rather ambiguous. The 1.EACON was being interposed .-ith "a person's own views," through regretfully the relationship was made very unclear. Therefore, the main idea behind the quote is the belief that the BEACON is not averse to listening to a dissenting opinion. I still don't quite understand Mr. Finkelstein 's questions. Are we ·aUing the students hypocritical? In ,t sense? In reference to the statement that the letter was written by Miss Bednar, I can only say that as the editor-in-chief, she is ultimately responsible for everything that appears in the paper. However, she certainly does not write everything. As managing editor I also take the ~redit ( and blame) for editorials ;,ich appear. And this one _J mbiguous last paragraph and all) "tas mine. Jo Ann Gomer We would like to correct two mistakes which appeared in last week 's issue of the Beacon . In the ¥ HAT Student Government story, it was , stated that "students would be able to drop courses anytime during the semester." This is not completely true. Under consideration is the policy that would enable students to drop courses until the tenth week of classes without penalty. After that, in order to drop a course, the student must secure the permission of the chairman of the department and the Dean. In the same story it is stated that "Bob Leach reported that the consensus at a recent Student Life Committee meeting was that the yearbook should be disbanded because of the lack of interest for it on campus." This topic was ..discussed not at Student Life, but at a meeting of the . Student Publications Committee. D r. Reif Renames St udent Committee To the Editor : The allegation that the proposed calendar has resulted from the deliberations of the Student Life Committee raises some question as to the viability of the committee. Statements in the proposal such as "thus providing a needed long rest in the middle of an always tiresome Spring (sic) semester" and "the last week of February, a psychologically trying time for all" indeed suggest the committee might better be called the Student Fatigue Committee. That some of the students are moribund has been suspected for several years , but one has been led to" anticipate their revitalization by the vivacity of the Student Life Committee. My reason for this note is to put in a good word for the month of February which to vital spirits (ex., faculty) is one of the best. In leap years February is noted especially for keeping bachelors jumping.

As I sit through classes in sociology , as I talk humanism in my student-oriented world, as I ponder What I Want To Be When I Grow Up after college , as I write for this college newspaper, I tend to forget that not everybody between the ages of 18 and 25 goes to college .. Some young people aren't in academia because they've chosen other alternatives. Or because other alternatives have chosen them . MILWAUKEE, WISC . - Atop a factory laden city, atop a high hill, atop a huge new building, lie hundreds of prostrate young bodies. There is no noise on the top floor except the sound of an old movie on the community TV, the sound of slowly turning wheels, the sound of an occasional doctor's diagnosis. There is no laughter. Very little talking. It's not a scene out of Marcus Welby. It's the real thing. Down the hall in a starched white room lies a young Harvard graduate who will never see , speak, hear, taste or move again. Vegetable. He just lies in bed and thinks. He can do no thing else. Nearby, a kid in a bed chats with a guest. His mother? His head is propped on three pillows and he talks animatedly . A nurse wheels a sleeping patient to a therapy room. He can't move anything below his neck. They're all young. They're all our age. And they're · all q uadraplegics. Paralyzed from their neck down, they walk with their talk, they run with their ears, they move with their eyes. From the neck down it's just the neck down . Their legs are shrunken, their hands just slightly quiver. They may never move again. They did it for their country. They had not chosen to go to college . Now they have few choices left. I visited the Milwaukee VA hospital recently . I wandered up and down hallways of the spinal injury ward and asked the Vietnam veterans there what was important to them. They often talked like elderly men in rest homes - reminiscing about their war years or months. Because they have little else to do. Except wait till they get better. If ... "What's important to me?" said a 26-year old veteran who'd been in this hospital for a year and a-half. "The war is important to me. I totally agree with it. If I could get out of this chair, I'd go back tomorrow and take care of them. I'm waiting for the day I can start fighting again. America's given me eve rything I've got." A long-haired 22-year old sat up in his bed. A sign that read "Love" hung over his head. "I'm not mad or bitter at anybody . I'm just disabled. It just happened. WHEN · My country said go in there and so I did . I was brought Uf' to believe not to kill, but sometimes you have to kiil to bring right. I'm happy ... I'm happy to be back here. Yeah . . . When I came back, my buddy took me out - and he didn't care ifl was disabled or not." They talk about student protests. Surprisingly, as pro-war as they are, they feel that students should protest . the war if they're against it. "They're protesting to get out of the war," on~ said . "That's what we're fighting for. It's a free country." "Nobody likes to get killed," another said. "But burning flags is hypocritical. If I saw anyone burning a flag, I would have to shoot him. A lot of men died for that flag. If you can't believe in your country, you don't belong. Get out." "What's important to me now is that I'd like to go back to school," said a dark-haired, good-looking young veteran hunched over in a wheel chair. "I want to work with people, to become a psychologist. I want to be able to cope . I want to get back into society. "The war? I never believed in killing people. I had to kill people to su rvive. I think abou t it a lot. How would it feel to you?" And then he began to cry. They all want to "get back into society." But until then, they live in a strange society which is a curious combination of day-to-day rehabilitation activities, the disabled people who surround them, their memories, and their hopes for the future. But what they don't know might hurt them .. "Many of them don't know how serious they are injured," a doctor at the hospital said. "Many will be here for years. They have many conventional dreams maybe go to school, get a job, get married , have children . They don't know, however," he said sighing, "that they most likely won't be able to fulfill that dream. We don't tell them. It would be too shattering." • It's quiet . They don't talk much. Their worlds are basically lonely . When they do talk about the war, it's in glowing patriotic terms, possibly trying to justify their own disabilities - so that it shouldn't have been for nothing. Many talk eagerly about going back to fight in Vietnam - as if, once there , they'll be whole again. We talk about the war too . As students, with Newsweek and newsreel knowledge, we often talk all about it as if we know all about it. But these non-students, residing with a life-long lease on the top floor of a Milwaukee VA hospital , do know all about the war. They are the war. It could've been me. I tend to forget.

Big Don Drust scored the first point of his career for the extra point on a pass from Hurley. That's the two scores for good measure .

Perfo rming Arts on Thursday , February 10, at 8 p.m. · Salisbury, a distinguished newspaperman , has been assistant managing editor of ''The Times" since 1964. In March, 197 l , the Ove rseas Press Club award for the best foreign news coverage was gi ven to " The Times" fea ture-columnist page which is under his direct supervision. Also in March, I 97 1, Mr. Salisbury's latest book , "The Many Americas Shall Be One ," was published. Awards are not new to this journalist who in addition to the Pulitzer Prize, has been awarded the George Polk Memorial Award and by Janice Yarrish the Sigma Delta Chi Award . His books have included "The 900 Days: The Seige of Leningrad ," "Russia," "American in Russia," "To Moscow and Beyond," and "A New Russia." Mr. Salisbury has also written a novel, "The Northern Palmyra Affair," and has edited and written the introduction and commentary to "Marshall Zhukev's Greatest Battles." For a period in the mid-fifties he covered local New York news for "The Times" and his stories on juvenile delinquency resulted in publication of a book , ''The Shook-Up Generation." Mr . Salisbury was born in Minneapolis in 1908 and attended the University of Minnesota. He began his career in journalism on the college newspaper and at the same time worked for the St. Paul Bureau of the United Press. Upon graduation from the University , he moved to the Chicago Bureau of the UPI and among other news stories covered part of the Prohibition gang wars and the trial of Al Capone. In 1940, he transferred to the UP Foreign Desk in Washington; and in l 943 became the London Bureau's managing director during the coverage of the war in Europe. In 1944 he went to Moscow to head the UP's Moscow staff, then returned to the United States as Foreign News Editor , also covering the birth of the United Nations.

SALISBURY �THE BEACON Page 2 Student Poll: 1 Resignation To Defeat by Randy Steele In an attempt to measure the pulse of student opinion here at Wilkes, Student Government President, Howie Tune and other concerned parties recently devised a strenuous, comprehensive poll which was made into a report for the Committee of Student Life. The report's findings stressed the acute negativism of a large majority of the student body toward various parts of the college; thus, the report's surname, "A Resignation to Defeat." In quoting the report, this resignation simply means "that the student of Wilkes College {in varying degrees) holds no hope for change, that nothing will improve his condition, that any proposal submitted will be knocked down without consideration." A great deal of intere.t was aroused by this new interest in students' attitudes. Tune reported that there was one girl who actually typed out three pages of commentary to the question on what could be done to improve the college. A lot of concern was voiced over the · absence of women's visitation rights. Other topics that were covered included the parking problem, a student center , apathy, class attendance, curfews and security to name just a,few. It should be noted however, that the student poll which was the basis for the report was rnot without error. Three different 1:1questionaires were sent out - each one was improved upon over its pr_edecessor. The earlier ambiguous questions were excluded from the tabulation. Everyone, however, still did not receive the final questionaire. The poll was not a random sample. A higher proportionate turnout was recorded by dorm students than by day students. The results from the two sides were kept separate on issues which were pertinate to each only. But on questions in which both parties were combined, the dorm students created an imbalance biased to their particular views. There were also questions that asked for opinion on what could be done to improve Wilkes College on the whole, the major faults here, why the Beacon is not the voice of the students, and why neither JDC nor Student Government are fulfilling their duties to the student. Again , the results were not released in this report. Perhaps some of the questions, even in the final questionnaire, were still a little hazy. For example, the first question asks if there is unity between students , faculty and administration. The question arises, "What exactly is unity?" The same goes for the answers that were already provided in some cases. Often, simply yes or no was not enough. When you are asked if you trust t~e deans, you may feel that sometimes yo~ do and _then ther,e are cases which you simply don t_. . ~t_1II, all these pomts a_gamst the vahd1ty of the poll a~e tnvtal w~e_n co~~ared to the ach1_e~ements 1t 1s bnngmg. A lot of_exc1t~ng progra~s are now in d1scuss1on or are underway• Talks on women's visitation are being re-opened. There is the possibility of a shuttle being run from Ralston Field every 15 minutes or half-hour to alleviate some of the parking congestion. A Commuter Council may be formed that would operate similar to · IOC , but for commuting students instead. There is an excellent chance curfews may be lifted for freshmen women. They would be able to attain a set of keys for their dorm and seif-regulate their hours with parental permissi0 n. There are also many pertinent acad emic proposals and ideas getting attention. No-Cut policies and required courses are spotlighted, along with immunity from finals if a student has a prior average of four or three or possibly even two in any given class. There has been an Ad Hoc committee formed to examine current hygiene and phys-ed courses . The poll has shown that most students don't feel the health courses are very beneficial and would rather study such things as iifesaving techniques and material which is more relevant to their needs. One change that has recently been brought about is that courses can be dropped up to the tenth week without automatic failure. Still, Tune has reported a desire to February 3, 1972 Exchanging Views 1 pursue this issue until courses can be dropped until the very day before the final. Studies in tightening up security and safety on the campus are also being intensified. The poll has also led way to an attempt to loosen up the alcohol policy here at Wilkes. What is really being sought is not to openly defy state law but to enforce it Jess. Probably the most interesting note in the whole study which has been surpnsmg to almost everybody is that 50.7 per cent of the student body is content here. This is slightly amazing when it is compared tp the immense array of negative responses that was evoked. Perhaps, if nothing else , the poll has given light to the idea that complaining is merely a ritual that our society has tacked on to existence. To complain is to Jive and to Jive, one must complain.

What Is The Drop-out Seeking? With the ending of the .first semester of college comes a time for making decisions. And for many students the end of their first semester at college means making one of the biggest in their life that of deciding whether to continue on or drop out. It goes without saying that college is a battle , and as in all battles, there are casualties. The students who tried college for a semester of two and found that they couldn't (no pun intended) make the grade , are the first casualties. This is to be expected . In a time · when jobs are scarce evident that something is missing Some people are able to take and a college degree no longer from the " college experience." college and others aren't. insures a college graduate of a job, Although college has always The- question then arises, what many students are becoming been regarded as a stepping stone to about the students who did make increasingly wary about investing a high paying job · the emphasis on the grade , and yet still decided to time and money into a college learning and becoming a well drop out?

One must remember, however, that the duty of a newspaper columnist is to initiate and/or perhaps motivate the community at large into reform for the benefit of all. This includes any and all issues which the columnist believes to merit attention. Here at Wilkes one aspect of the newspaper seems t~ have been grossly mis•u nderstood. The Beacon has come under fire for failing to voice the opinion of the students. The persistent call for more social comment on the editorial page will be dealt with in the near future. This comment may be in the form of past, present and future but must be devoted to the activities of you, the student body, and your leaders. The Beacon can only comment on news . Without news we are hopelessly stranded with nothing of interest to give to you, the students. But, more importantly, the students have nothing of interest to give themselves. The past semester proved to be a non-productive one at best. Small reforms were seemingly tied up in the gobbledygook of Student Government and 1.D.C. meetings which proved to be no more than a fruitless waste of a couple of hours time. Student leaders have indicated to this columnist that they are. as frustrated with the recent lack of progress as the students themselves. With this fact in mind, let us pursue the matters at hand in hopes that constructive steps towards their achievement will be taken during the coming semester. There are far too many issues at hand to discuss in as brief a column as this, but those of seemingly utmost importance include a pass-fail grading system for courses not included in a student's major curriculum, an extension of visitation hours in male dormitories, the establishment of such hours in the women's dorms and consideration for a proposed student union. If and when instituted, a pass-fail grading system in non-major courses would present a favorable . element of liberalism that might very well stimulate a greater degree of academic pursuit. The pressures · are unnecessarily high as students engage in a rat race for grades and instructors are faced with the rigor of determining grade point averages. Furthermore , most students view such requirements as a form of blind side punishment and what professor isn't discouraged by the fact that an apathetic atmosphere · prevails in his classroom. Perhaps the new idea might lend a more relaxed feeling to the classroom and afford an instructor with the opportunity of pursuing aspects of the course more relevant to his students. Regardless of the realized outcome, the system is worth a try even if only on a trial basis. The pass-fail also requires a student to attain a C or above in a course to receive credit for it and thus any dropoff of academic pursuit would be minute at worst . The extension of visitation hours in the male dormitories and establishment of such hours in the female wings has proven in the last year to be a controversial issue. Held in a highly favorable esteem by the students as shown by a recent S.G. poll, the issue has not been looked upon in the same light_by the Administration. As feature editor, I am going to pursue an investigation into rules and regulations of visitation hours on other campuses in the near future . These investigations will not be aimed at exposing the weakness of the system here at Wilkes but rather the strengths of systems elsewhere. The study will include several case-in-points with the hopeful comment on the part ·of Administration and students of the respective institutions as to both the good and bad features of their programs. Hopefully sm;:h a study will encourage the students, faculty and Administration here at Wilkes to work towards a goal which would indicate we are in fact still listening to one another. The job lies in the hands of Student Government and I.D.C. As an _editor of _the Beacon I pledge to do my share of the work in pursuit of a constructive goal. The job of securing a new visitation policy belongs to the student leaders. Hopefully they will meet the challenge. · Finally, a student union center is necessary here at Wilkes if we are ever to realize the ideal goal of unity on our campus. Student life on any campus revolves as much around the social aspect as the acade.mic. We have been told that the true college experience leads to growth academically, socially and spiritually. Once again turning to the S.G. poll as reference, the only feasible means of a happy, prosperous career at Wilkes is one in which breaking the rules maintained by college is not the exception but the rule. Sue~ ~ _feeling could be alleviated if the students had somewhere to go . After VISltm? s_ome c?llege spots in upstate New York, a· building the size of t~e Chnst1ar. Science Church could be readily converted into a beautiful spot for students. If it were adjoined with the Commons the school could have a good sized building capable of fulfilling the needs of the students. The cost of the venture would be minimal since the two structures are already standing and, yes, architecture is capable of doino wonders. "' The cards are now on the table. We know what needs to be done and ·?ow to g~ about doing iL The people are there, the potential is there, but 1s th~ desire to work there? Let's hope the answer to the question is yes , or Wilkes College may yet suffer through the most unproductive year in its brief history. �THE BEACON February 3, 1972 I ';x Page 3 I Freshmen Weekend Slated The Wilkes College Studen t Government and Inter-Dormitory Council are extending an opportunity to perspective freshmen and their parents to get a first hand look at the college during Incoming Freshmen Weekend on Saturday and Sunday , February 19 and 20.

Michelini- not that the ac tual quality won't be there, but simpl>y because a white-haired , gentle woman won' t be serving it. Recently , for the last time, Mrs. Sarah Fisher went through the same routine she has followed for the past nine years - that of making a cup of strong coffee for Dr. Michelini. She also had to make sure that it was flavored just right - so much sugar and a dash of cream. But all that. is over as of now because Mrs. Fisher has ended her tenure as a member of the housekeeping ·staff , at Wilkes after nine years. This was the end result of a Christmas present she had promised herself more than one year ago "When I become 80, I will retire ." She was still determined to fulfill the year-old promise to herself as she reached 80 years of age on Christmas Eve of last year. Mrs. Fisher, a resident of 264 Academy Street, Wilkes-Barre , had planned her last day on the job as just another response to a routine she had grown used to and thoroughly enjoyed, but the other members of Weckesser Hall had different ideas. As word spread only the day before that "Mrs. Fisher is retiring tomorrow" there was a state of semi-social panic as to what might be done on such short notice. Plans were quickly put together for a coffee hour in the board room- one of the areas which Mrs. Fisher took particular pains with to make sure was kept just right. At exactly 9 a.m. Mrs. Fisher was asked if she would mind corning into the board room. Responding to what seemed like a normal request, Sarah Fisher walked into a room full of college personnel and was greeted with a "Happy Retirement" serenade. She was momentarily moved by the occasion, but quickly regained her stately composure and asked, "Would you excuse me for just a moment until I collect my wits," and then retired briefly to the adjoining kitchenette. Moments later Mrs. Fisher was back and smiling ever so slightly as President Michelini ushered her to the head of the huge mahogany table in the board room and she reluctantly sat down at the "place of honor." It was the college president who took the initiative. "Mrs. Fisher," he began, "for years you have been making me the best coffee in the world, so today it's my turn to provide the same service to you." The party lasted only a brief time, but long enough to let the 80-yeai:--old woman know that she was well liked and respected by all. Serving people isn't something new for Mrs. Fisher. During World War II-right after her son ,Louis, member of the U. S. Army Air Corps, was killed, she dissolved some of her sorrow by offering her services as a volunteer at the Veterans Administration Hospital. Recalling her contributions there yesterday, she proudly mentioned that she had spent over 7 ,000 volunteer hours and received several citations for her work. Mrs. Fisher's husband died in 1964 and she resides at the home of BLACKPOWER MOVEMENT SEMINAR BY DR.

And she hinted about plans to keep active in an undisclosed role. ''I'll manage to keep busy in something," she said , "and I plan to drop in Weckesser every so often to visit my friends and make sure things are going well." AFROTC (From Page 1) program at Wilkes will include the assignment of several officers and non-commissioned officers to the school. Captain Bishop noted that students participating in the program are required to serve four or five years in an Air Force commission following grad uation. He said the length of the obligation depends on the assignment , and not · on the amount of financial assistance received . The spokesman noted that the Air Force ROTC program · is the only one open to women. Jt SUIIU Jo by Marietta Bednar What ever happened to the college radical? The answer is quite simple : he has begun to fade into the background along with Joe College and the racoon coats. Failing right along with the college radical are radical newspapers. An article in the New York Times December 14, 1971 headed "Campus Papers Going Straight" by Douglas E. Kneeland reads in part as follows: " College newspapers, many of which took a sharp swing toward radical journalism during the campus turmoil of the late ninteen-sixties, appear, for the most part , to have made a conscious move back to objective news coverage. "At a dozen campuses from coast to coast, there was almost unanimous agreement among college editors on the need for 'straight' reporting, rather than personalized journalism, and on the importance of keeping editorial opinion clearly separated from the news columns. "Most also said that they had made a deliberate decision to step back from the policies of two or three years ago , when many college papers became so deeply identified with the issues they were covering that they closely resembled the so-called alternative, orunderground press." So , what's my point? - I'm trying to point out that at a time wheH a majority of campuses are moving away from the underground press , Wilkes is start ing a movement to form an alternative press. Instead of realizing the potential we have with an established newspaper and pro ceeding to make contributions directly to this organization, it has become the major pastime of bored individuals to sit down and criticize. Of course these armchair pilots can do a much better job and the one chance they would have to prove their ability would come in the form of an underground newspaper . It's as if there is a personal stigma attached to individuals who "dare" to join the staff legitimately. This stigma comes in many forms, from peers, and worse yet, from faculty. Yet, how can any progress be made unless individuals are willing to join the staff, which almost involves wearing a target constantly. · No one could ask a professional newspaper to print opinions on the front page. In fact if any paper dared to do such a thing , it would be completely destroyed. But a school newspaper is'apparently supposed to be something different. For any reporter or editdr to take his production seriously , it should be apparent that he could..not print opinion in a position where opinion has no legal right. · This is not to say that the readers should be ignored completely. There is more than adequate space which may be devoted to opinions. At the same time, causes do not have to be ignored for the sake of objective reporting. In most cases, the facts , when allowed to speak for themselves, can prove to be the best defense any paper can have . The only complication in this area comes from the fact that in order to present sound argument using the facts , a reporter has to do a great deal more work than if he were allowed the privilege of talking off the top of his head. Other colleges and universities have begun to realize this point, and are now working toward a goal of professional reporting and the products reflect their efforts . · Apparently Wilkes is only one step behind everyone else, but does this mean that we have to go through the same situation? It would be logical to skip over the period of radical journalism to catch up with the competition. Steps have already been taken on our part to move toward a more professional format , with backing from a professional society. It still remains for readers to open their eyes and see which product is actually the best. NOTICE An exhibit, "Operation: Re-Design;• will be presented at Conyngham Annex, February 6-12.

He claimed that "they to ask What have they done this year? . charge for their dormitor ies bu t they don't There are three basic areas of government contribute to the t ax structure of the city". on campus: The classes, IDC and Student Arguments were raised concerning the Government. Each has its own set of advantages offered by th e city to the local priorities, restrictions and possibilities. It is those possibilities that must be realized . The colleges. Services such as ambulance and need for action on the campus is obvious. The police were offered as examples of services which the city supposedly supplies to the action itself has been minimal, at best. In the area of class government, there h~ve colleges. This was enough reason to continue been class outings, fund raising projects and the argument of taxation of colleges. dinners. What about servite projects- not only for the community, but for the class and the school as a whole? There have been a few, but why not more? What about more class activities? They seem to be few and far between. IDC doesn't seem to have touched many areas of concern that fall under their jurisdiction. A prospective freshman program is in the planning stage. But there are so many other issues. on campus that need work woman's visitation, lack of campus activities, cafeteria food; to name only a few. The vice president of I DC is now general chairman of all c?mmittees, making him responsible to the president for reports of progress. Are th e committees doing anything? Once ideas are offered, are they followed through? Student Government has been functioning along a normal pattern-we've had our Homecoming concert, dances, lectures, and a student opinion poll has been compiled with ideas for many needed changes. But now we need the action behind the talk. Authority must be delegated rather than initiated by a few selected people. Committees must be set up with people who are willing to do the work and carry it through to the end. And the "glory seekers" must b_e recognized for what they are. A common complaint around Wilkes is that nothing is ever done to improve the problems that everyone recognizes. Some say that the student organizations try, but the administration never responds. Others say that the administration has nothing to respond to because the students never try to get anything done. It is fruitless arguments like this that waste time and only result in antagonism. The only thing that is important now is that there is much to be done. Student leaders were elected for this purpose. They are committed to the students who supported them. What the Mayor and other city officials are apparently ignoring is the fact that· colleges such as Wilkes actually pay for . the ambulances and have their own security forces. Any police services are a matter of routine such as patrols through residential areas. All the money maqe through continuous parking tickets handed out to the college students is apparently also ignored. In other cases the towns or cities where private colleges exist give the students a break on parking. Wilkes Barre does not. It has become a standard joke to compare the number of parking tickets a student receives in a school year. It might be interesting for the police force to check into the current record for the number of par k.ing t ·1c ke t s 1ssu · ed t o one individual. Current taxpayers should also be aware of the eventual outcome of taxing private institutions - it could work against them. Forced into paying taxes the colleges would have two possible alternatives. They could either close up, which would be financially detrimental to the city, or they could become public institutions which would mean a loss of autonomy and would eventually cost the publi«; more than it is already paying. This would defeat the purpose entirely. Prime examples of this are the University of Pittsburgh and Temple who were forced to accept public aid.

He is full of contradicting anxieties and nervous confusion. During the course of our interview , which lasted more than 21 years, he talked about everything from his college career ("I've majored in everything from journalism, English and humaajties to nothing."), his writing experiences (''I'm really very talented , but I can'f write."), his personal life ("None of your business.") to his reluctance to be interviewed ("I normally don't le t anyo ne interview me- - that's my gan\e - but you look like an honest guy.") Rick, a senior at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, comes from what he terms "a sickeningly affluent suburb" in Milwaukee . He came to Minnesota "because it seemed like the logical place to go after Milwaukee." And where will he go next? "I dunno. Back to Milwaukee." So, sadly waving good-bye to his high school ("which I hated"), he came to the University of Minnesota where he got involved in student , been a writer government for a year.

Are you from the CIA or something? Who are you?" Not knowing how to answer those questions, I thought it would be best to ask him who he is or was or will be or won't be. "Who am I? What kind of question is that? I'm whoever you want me to be . I'm sort of a cross between Peter Pan , Lassie, The Wizard of Oz, Sherlock Holmes, Sancho Panza , and You." Rick describes himself as the ,"typical-normal-average-token-student." "I please everyone," Rick says. " My hair's just the right length. My grades are okay. I'm fairly productive.

Freshman Ozgo , the 6-3 former Coughlin player -who appears headed for Wilkes stardom , collected 17 of his points in the first half. Also aiding the cause were Kurosky and O'Brian with I 8 and I 4 points respectively . Caterson's effort was especially welcomed since he'd been in somewhat of a scoring slump lately. Updating the cagers' progress since our last issue , the Colonels made their season log 6-1 by downing Susquehanna 78-76 with Greg O'Brian hitting for 21, Dave Kurosky 19 and Roman Shakay 11. Their six game skid began against Bloomsburg when they absorbed an 89-63 loss in first round action of the Berwick Tournament. Kurosky and Steve Ference with 13 apiece and Shahay with 11 led the Wilkesters. In the consolation round versus Lycoming the Colonels were again beaten, this time 101-88.

Since entering Wilkes, Al has twice been the 158 pound MAC champion ( 1970 and I 971 ). He holds the Colonel single season record for total pins (IO) and team points (59) - both set in I 969-70. He holds the Colonel career pin mark of 20. He was runner-up in 1971 Wilkes Open at 167 pounds. And he was elected the Colonels matmen's captain for this year. Impressive? Absolutely. But his extensive repertoire of feats and laurels extraordinaire fade into near oblivion when speaking with the talented senior. It's his rare and sublime soul-to~ching attitude which impresses one then. "I'm pleased I came to Wilkes," he says, "I've always loved the school and the people in Wilkes-Barre. rm really proud of the fans and kids that go here," His sentiments are met reciprocally by the fans. The hissing cheer that sounds to be the result of a host of deflating air rafts or an escaped legion of vipers usually signifies fan appreciation when "the Snake" (the name ascribed him by Bill Leckridge who claims he wrestles like one) is about to do combat. , Al asserts that it is not winning or losing that pleases or displeases him , but how competently he wrestles. "In wrestling winning your match is your first concern, but I've got to wrestle to my ability to be pleased. I always go for the pin because it means more team points. To pin people you have to take chances, and sometimes you just run out of time bef~re 'you get the chance to go ahead." Al adds that he pinned opponents with greater facility at I 58 pounds than 167 because at 158 he was talle~ and had more leverage than his foe-s. He may go back to 158 for national competition. Al's biggest thrill was beating touted Jerry Bell of the New York Athletic Club in the Wilkes Open. The Business Education major plans to teach after he has satisfied his thirst of wrestling.

"This is WCLH-FM in Wilkes-Barre , Pennsylvania." These words were spoken last Sunday evening at 6 by student announcer Dave Bickel and they officially put Wilkes College in the business of educational FM radio broadcasting. The new 175-watt station immediately began five hours of continuous programming a schedule which will be maintained throughout each week on a seven-day basis. On hand for the start of the broadcasting were coJJege President Francis J. Michelini , Dr. Har~d Cox , member of the faculty and program director, Professor James Berg, another faculty member who has been supervising the technical construction of the station and student Station Manager John Margo. The station, which is owned and operated by the college, represents a realization of plans which were discussed for the first time several years . ago when college officials were exploring methods of providing greater educational services to the off-campus community. Application was submitted to the FCC in August, I 970, and a construction permit -was finaJJy issued to the college in early February of last year. Late arriving equipment and te chnical problems postponed earlier entrance to the airwaves, but the t ask was finally completed on January 26 of this year when the station completed testing and applied fo r a license. WCLH-F.M will be run almost entirely by student personnel , many of whom are currently preparing for careers in the communications field and gaining experi~nce and training as staff members of the station, affiliations with the BEACON, and enroJJed in the campus journalism class. COMIC OPERA SLATED A change in the Wilkes College calendar has reslated the Turnau Opera Players' rendition of The Barber of Seville for February 17 , at 8 p.m., in the Center for the Performing Arts. This seventh production in the Wilkes College Concert . and Lecture series is a nineteenth century comic opera done as a take-off of a play by Beaumarchais. It will be performed in English, as most · Turnau performances are. The Turnau Opera Players originated with a group of former students of the late Professor Josef Turnau and is named in his honor. In Europe, where Professor Turnau had been ·a leading stage director prior to the Nazi upsurge, opera was a much more universal form of artistic expression and appreciation. His career in . the United States was dedicated to the fostering of young operatic talent to the end that opera might become here, as in Europe , a widely enjoyed and practiced part of our way of life. Working toward this end , the company has presented more than 800 performances of 85 operas to hundreds of thousands of people from coast to coast. Sin:e 1960, the Turnau Opera Playe rs have mounted a winte r season at the Ringling Museum 's Asolo Theate r in Sarasota, Flo rid a. The company's extensive performing history includes 21 other resident seasqns throughout the country , including 14 summer seasons in Woodstock , New York . During its seasons, the company prepares and refines its productions. A group of some of America's finest young professional musicians, many of them performers with major opera houses, is then sent on tour with highly polished productions. For over a decade the company has been organized as a non-profit, educational institution and enjoys a tax-exempt status with the Federal Government. It is a pilot attempt to take professional opera into smaller American communities ·and, with high artistic standards and low production cost, show that opera can succeed without being a major charity. From its inception, the Turnau Opera Players has had standing with the singers' union , the American Guild of Musical Artists, and values highly the professional standing that it has maintained. Throughout the country, from east coast to west, in seasons and on tour, the company has been dedicated to presenting opera as it is meant to be - a complete union of dramatic and musical" values. Opera , sung in English by the Turnau Opera Players , is a very personal experience for the audience - an intimate and highly enjoyable type of musical entertainment which delights opera love rs and unfailingly creates new enthusiasts. Many people are initiated into the (Continued on page 8) Student interes t and involvement has also been outstanding. Acco rding to staff member Dave Bickel, "Many have learned to their great surprise that y ou don' t just come off the st reet and be a rad io personality. It takes us as much as IO hours to produce one hour of programming ." Listeners will be able to tune in on WCLH-FM by adjusting their dials to 90. 7. An exceptionalJy strong signal is anticipated. The transmitting antenna is located on the commercialJy - operated WYZZ-FM tower on Penobscot Knob, Hanover Township. WCLH-FM's 175 watts will enable it to reach potential listeners over a 150-mile radius, but more specifically from the upper Scranton area on the east to the other side· of Hazleton on the west , and fro m Binghamton to AIJentow n in the north-south directions. There will be a variety of programming from the oldtime "Lum and Abner" serial, foreign jazz and presentat ions produced locaJJy for the educational, cultural and entertainment benefits to the community both off and on the campus. (Continued on page 8) SOCIAL SOLUTIONS by Alain C. Arnould Many times when someone realizes that there is a problem they don't realize that they, .themselves, are the cause of the problem. Perhaps this is the case with the social life in Wilkes. In the student poll on the status of the social life , 37.2 per cent said it was nonexistant. Perhaps these students are the ones that fling themselves into nonexistance with some "electric Kool-Aid" (acid-spiked), grass, uppers, downers, inners and outers. Very social! 40.6 per cent clained that social life iS' bad. Is the social life bad or are they bad at socializing? The remaining 22 per cent seem to be doing okay. "A student Center," "A student Center," shout 51.8 per cent of the students. HUMPH! - So a certain clique can move ri~ht in and make the rest of the student body feel like they don't belong th~re!? · Yes, we do need a student center, bu·t it should be built to accommodate an existing student social system rather than give the old gang a new hangout. I offer two-basic suggestions, one for immediate purposes and one for long range goals. First, if you need a place to meet and mix, how about the center lounge of the new men's dorm as a "center?" Someone could contribute sounds to the lounge with a couple of extension speakers from his stereo. Meet and mix hours could be announced in the Beacon so as to invite day students. Better yet, why not establish a regular gathering on Friday or Saturday from 8 on? Create your own center. Guys OR Girls, invite 'o ther durms to .your dorm. If you don't do it, no one will do it for you. Step out and think social and be social. Help your shy friends to learn to be a littl~ less shy. If I sound a bit like Dale Carnegie, it may be that I think that his ideas are better than Tim Leary's. You don't need to "drop-out, turn-on and tune-in." How about dropping-in and turning-on . .. to people? My second suggestion is far more reaching. Most of us, students and teachers, think it would be great if Wilkes became a really progressive , modern and example-setting school. We suggest a pass-fail system , advocate student selection of courses and dropping required courses , demand open-housing or at least visitation rights and finally expect the (Continued on page 5) �February 10, L THE BEACON Page 2 PRE-CLASSROOM BRIEFINGS CONDUCTED Secondary Student Teachers Art-Music Secondary Student Teachers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (photos by Paramount) ...

Read by Student Government President Howie Tune, the proposed revision of the visitation policy would allow individual dormitories to set th eir own hours and revise them when deemed necessary . Remarkabl y unoffensive , the pro posal lacks the in-depth deta'il of its predecessors simply because u nder its governance, de tail is of little significa nce. Tune indicated that the snags in the pro posal would be clea red up and that a separate dormitory would be established fo r those women pre ferring to live under the present sys tem. Men would most likel y be affo rded the same o ptio n, but such a need appea rs unlikely fo llowing the resu lts of the recent S.G. poll. The p ro posed revision reads as fo llow s: "I . Visitation privileges shall be extended to all Wilkes College Dor mi tories requesting them. "2 . a. At the beginn ing of each semester , the members of each dormitory shall vote to determine the hours of visitat ion for tha t dormitory . "b . A schedule of these ho u rs must be pos ted permanently o n th e firs t floor of the do rmito ry for the in fo rmation of all visitors. "c. Any dorm may change its hours during a semester with a maj ority vote and notifica tion of the dean . " 3. Any students no t wishing visitation (including inco ming Freshm en) may apply for re sidence in a do rmitory without vi sitation privileges by se nding a written request to the appro priate De an." Under the S.G. constitution , the pro posal must be read at least twice befo re being acted upon . Thus, it was presented to the Student Government at last night's meeting and will be read for the second time at a joint I.D .C. - Student Government meeting to be held in the center lounge of the New Men 's Do rmitory at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Sunday's meeting is open to the student body for discussion of the proposal. With the anticipated passage of the revision, it would be presented to the IO a.m. meeting of the Council of Deans on Monday . No indication of the probable success or failure of the proposal was given so the student body would have to assume a wait-and-see attitude in regard to its future.

With the slogan, " Never Again ," the JDL has prese nted a most controversial issue for American Jewry and a most sore point in Russo-American relations. The organization was founded in New York City to "Counter what JDL sees as a frightening , escalating American cns1s that threatens Jewish rights and physical survival , as well as the total democratic fabric." To fight for survival, the JDL employs these means: I. inform people of the current situation and instill Jewish pride in a lost Jewish generation; 2. teach Jews to physically defend themselves; 3. achieve political power; 4. employ legal action; and 5. establish ties ,, with other organizations should extremism arise.

'Taxing private colleges is like taxing the fire department to pay tor the services ot the police department,' 7 stated Wilkes College President Francis J. Michelini in a recent interview concerning the proposed taxation of local colleges by the city of Wilkes-Barre.

Scranton in an inaugural address as Chairman of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest states, "Academic institutions must be free - free from outside interference and free from internal intimidation. Far too many young people who should know better - both within university communities and outside them have forgotten this first principle of academic freedom. The pursuit of knowledge cannot continue without the free exchange of ideas." Scranton's statement, simple and direct, applies to Wilkes in a very sensitive way right now. It has come to a point when students, faculty and Administration must come to some form of agreement as to whether the ideals of education or personality should play a primary role in the function of our institution of higher learning. Yet perhaps it is not entirely as simple as it seems. H·aving had the opportunity to speak with parties on campus with whom the final decisions must undoubtedly rest, it is clearly apparent that the decisions to be made concerning the renewal of a faculty contract, or something as small as the position of a student in school, are decisions that must take a great deal of consideration. By the very virtue of my position on the newspaper staff, I can easily realize the position any member of the Administration is in when the decision must undoubtedly be made by him. There are times when in any one given situation there are doubts. But at the same time, a decision must be made that comes out in terms of black and white, even if you see the situation in shades of grey. At this time it becomes more important than ever to consider all sides of the situation and to take qualified and responsible recommendations into consideration. Wilkes has always been directed by the ideals of higher learning and the "marks of an educated man." President Francis J . Michelini in his inauguration address stated , "The freedom for us to perform our creative function is a precious thing that few societies enjoy. We must maintain the mutual respect that can bring unity to our efforts while sustaining the diversity that has made us great." " Students, regardless of the educational level,••have attained the ability quickly to recognize the difference between a teacher who is honestly concerned about his students and dedicated to the ideals of the teaching profession, and the teacher who remains in his position simply because he could not make it in any other job. Over the years, a student will encounter both types of teachers and somewhere along the line he encounters a teacher who is so enthusiastic abou his profession that some of this enthusiasm wears off and that student can decide on his direction in life . When such a teacher comes along, it is easy to see that he is able to reach not just one individual , bu t many students along the way, who might learn to take edu cation serio usly simply because of the effort of that one teacher. At this time, if a situation arises that indicates to students tha t they are being ro bbed of the exposure to su ch a teacher , it becomes diffic ult to understand just why this must happen. All thro ugh his academic career, a student is taught that idealism is the thing to strive fo r and that education should be respected above all else. He is taught in histo ry courses that the American y-tay will triumph and that anyone , as long as he is ambitious and serious, may someday attain his goal. Then the clincher comes: often at a time when it is least expected, and reality is exposed . All is not sweetness and light , idealism does not have the primary role , and instead , human weaknesses - politics, if you will take over and become dominant. It is my sincere hope that all concerned individuals will not lose sight of the objective of any educational institution in making the de cision s that will determine our. future. The key words here are freedom and education. NOTICE Mrs. Elaine Hahn Lacey bas assume4 the duties of Evening Reference Librarian.

But it is not, as many people think, a problem that no one has been trying to solve. In an effort to shed a Iittle light on the problem and what is being done about it, we would like to give some background on the parking situation. The college used to utilize Ralston Field as a parking lot and provided a shuttle bus over the bridge. This lasted for about two weeks because very few students used the facility. For a while the . problem seemed to be . somewhat alleviated by the public Park and Lock garage , on South Main Street. Wilkes students got a special rate of $2 less per month, but once the lot began to get over-crowded all speciai rates were removed and now there is talk of raising the rate to $15 per month. The parking meters around the campus were at one time one hour meters, and they have since been changed to three hour meters. However, the price was raised to five cents for 15 minutes. There has been talk of putting parking meters in _?Outh Wilkes-Barre, where many students now park, and the realization of what this would~mean to many commuting students compelled Dean George Ralston to call the Wilkes-Barre chief of police. However, the police chief has never returned the call, or indicated any interest in discussing the ·problem with · members of the college administration. The possibility of building a parkade is something many students fee l has not been considered. The fact is, it has been considered, and there are a number of reasons why it would not be feasible. First of all, there is the problem of lack of space. There is no land on the campus as it now stands that would be large enough to accommodate a building such as a parkade. Because of the city zoning laws, the college is virtually fenced in and limited in the land it can buy and utilize for college facilities. Then there is the problem of economics. It is very un likely that a parkade would be a financially sound investment. Because it would be for members of the co ll ege, it would not be used to its fullest capacity 24 hours a day. Tuition would probably have to be raised to cover the cost of maintaining the building, and in the long run it wou Id cost students more than they are paying now. The college is again considering the possibility of using Ralston Field as a parking lot, and running a bus over the bridge . However, unless enough students are interested, this will not work. According to Mr. Charles Abate, Wilkes College Business Manager, this year seems to have been one of the best as far as the pressures of parking are concerned. Calls from local residents about students parking in private driveways and private parking lots have been much more sporadic. He did indicate that he was willing at any time to talk with students who are concerned about the problem and feel they have workable ideas. Many of us wondered if we would ever see the day, but the day has come! On Sunday night the Wilkes College Radio Station, WCLH, began broadcasting. The station has the potential to provide an educational and entertainment service to people living in a 150-mile radius of Wilkes-Barre. We realize .that the programming is only temporary, and we would hope that as the station matures, the format will reflect the needs and tastes of its listening audience. , Because the station is operated by Wilkes College, it seems logical that an effort would be made to present to the students and area listeners material that is relevant to the life of the college. 1his might be achieved not only through educational programs and news broadcasts, but also through the music. There is a need for programming of more contemporary music which is more in tune with the tastes of college students. The initial week of broadcasting is a big step for the college, and we applaud all those who have worked so hard for the establishment of WCLH. It was through the dedication of a few students and faculty members that the progress was made. The station gives us a powerful way of presenting ourselves to the community. However, th e fact that Wilkes College students will ideally make up a large part of the listening audience, and that WCLH is a college radio station, should be taken into consideration when program formats are drawn up. Keeping in mind that the classification of the station is "educational," we hope that the staff can work within this limitation to provide the kind of entertainment that would be most appreciated by the majority of its listeners. It's A Privilege We would like to take this opportunity to remind students that voting is not a privilege to be taken lightly. Recent legislation has delegated the right to vote to the 18-year-old, indicating a decision on the part of our legislative bodies to give more responsibility to college-age students. Once this responsibility has been delegated, it then becomes the responsibility of the individual students to assume this responsibility with the correct attitude, thereby following through with the intention. With the increasing amount of student involvement on campuses across the nation, the right to vote becomes even more important. So - maybe you really don't know anything about the candidates ,running for office, but is there anything stopping you from finding out about them, their plans for office and their positions on specific issues? Remember when the time comes to criticrze certain legislative measures whi.ch are put into action, you had the right or the privilege to select the men who will govern your nation, but you didn't take advantage of that right. •ii by Rick Mitz The Relevancy of Relevance True Confession: I laugh at. "All in the Family" and have gotten so used to growing up with Lucy on TV that I just can't cut the cord. I run the water while I brush my teeth. I use Tide. And two-ply toilet paper. Blue. With these little tleurs de !is on them. Because they match the motif of my bathroom. I enjoy blazing fires in my fireplace. The last movie I saw was "Lady and the Tramp," which exploits women. My bottles are non-returnable and I don't separate my garbage; which I burn in my blazing fireplace. I just can't help it. I'm a failure at relevance . There are, however, some things about which I am relevant. I don't have a snowmobile or a sable coat. But that's about it. I read the wrong things (Nash, not Yevtushenko). I eat the wrong things (meat, not brown rice) . I enjoy the wrong theatre (Neil Simon , not Albee). So what can I do? I am a product of an educational system and a biodegradable environment that makes me feel I have to take the pleasure out of pleasure, the enjoyment out of enjoying. The product of a guilt-ridden culture where free-love means I always have to say I'm sorry. But what's so relevant about relevancy anyway? A while ago, I visited the University of Wisconsin campus at Green Bay - a college totally devoted to the study of ecology. There one student told me, "It's okay, but you feel guilty doing anything that's not relevant." I thought the remark was ridiculous. After a day there, I found myself checking the soap in the school lav soap dishes to mke sure they were using the Right Kind. So what is relevant? Bicycling? Good for the environment. Cuts down on air pollution. But I don't like bicycling. It's not good for my psychological environment. And what is meaningful: It's the hey-day of the academic radical chic where everything must have a Profound Meaning; where anything more than a pair of jeans and a stereo system borders on decadence; where back-to-earth means back-to-dearth. Ecology, racism, women's liberation , war and the rest of the list are all important issues. Too often , it seems that it's not the issues that are significant but only the relevance of the issues. W,e feel guilty if we're not doing what's Right, and we feel Wrong if we're not feeling· the guilt. There are things - little and big - that can be enjoyed. For their own sake. And for no other reason . Too often the Relevance Regalia focuses only on what's not there rather than what exists. For some people, perhaps , the patterns of smog formed from a dingy smoke stack might be aesthetically pleasing. That doesn't justify the polluting, smog, but it creates a new and positive viewpoint where even the ugliness of pollution can have its own beauty. Truthfully, I haven't resolved my own guilt feelings about being irrelevant. True Confession : In my city, The Lucy Show is on at the same · time as the Eveni ng News. So I sit near the color television - receiving radiation - and constantly recycle the channels back and forth from orie show to the other. Last night, Lucy talked about the casualties in Viet Nam while Walter Cronkite put on a Charlie Chaplin costume and danced at a PTA meet ing. It all evens out. �February 10, 1972 Page 5 THE BEACON viewpoint ** ** Cheap* Thrills *· * * * Thursday, February IO Concert and Lecture Series "After Vietnam- What?" - Harrison Salisbury - CPA - 8 Men's Intramurals - 7:30 p.m. Friday, February 11 Film - "Ivan the Terrible" - CPA - 7 and .9 p.m. Men's Intramurals - '7 :30 p.m .

J.etwt Jo 1rlf Jwlwt by Adrienne McKenzie Well , you want my expectations of the course . You want me to write about me , my goals , my interests. This , one of the easiest papers you assigned , may be one of the most difficult. Or visa-versa. - Last week when I signed up for the course, I did so with a sigh . I needed the credits , but Education 20 I was boring and a waste of time ; yes, but I decided way back in elementary school that I was going to be a teacher , but I have decided that I can't take any more school , so why bother with an education course ; but then someday I'll want to finish so I might as well take the course now, and besides, I need the credits. And then, Tuesday morning , while waiting in the Kirby lobby trying to pass the time until my French class would begin , I ended up listening to a teacher who was talking about Summerhill and the other projects he wanted his class to do this semester. I found myself wishing I could be in that class - it interested me . But then I reasoned that since it seemed so great , it couldn' t possibly be a course _where they'd admit sophomores. So I sighed and renewed my desire to drop out of school after this semester . Later that afternoon, I entered education class and realized that YOU were the teacher I had heard that morning talking to your 9:30 class. I just might survive your class; if there were more teachers like you - who would let the students structure the class - fit the class to the students rather than fitting the students to the class - if there were more of this, I might finish school. As it is, I think I'd get just as much excitement if I were working in a factory. But, so many things require college degrees - or so I've heard. I've also heard that right now it's a lot easier to get a job if you don't have that same degree .

A administrative responsibilities. one's own a·ccount by JoAnn Gomer Early last year Freshman Orientation Chairman Mike Dancy began work on this year' s orientation program. The two people who worked most closely with him were Harry Bielecki and Joel Fischman. _According to Mike and Harry , Joel was a hard worker and an organizer. He got things done. By 'this time last year a tentative foremat had been discussed with the deans. There was much work and many changes still to come , but the committee knew where it wanted to go, and perhaps more importantly , how to go about getting there. The planning continued all year and throughout the summer , with Fischman doing a great deal of the work. "Joel was always there when I needed him," Daney said. "Harry took care of all the financial problems but when it came to meeting the people that next year's chairman should know, I always made sure Joel was there. We worked very closely putting the program together. He knew exactly what was going on." One of the important things which Mike, Joel and Harry did was to compile a 200-page report, giving information about previous programs at Wilkes, as well as programs at many other colleges . When this year's program was over, they had a meeting with the deans in which they ripped the program apart - picking out the things which were good and disct1ssing those things which presented problems and should be changed . The recommendations which emerged from this meeting were also included in the report. "There is no doubt in my mind that freshmen orientation at Wilkes has greatly improved over the past four years," Daney said. "And Joel Fischman was a part of that improvement. I recommend him for next year's chairman. As far as I'm concerned, he is the only man for the job." All this is very nice , except for one thing - the appointment of Freshman Orientation Chairman is the job of the Student Government president. Mr. Tune made his appointment in December, without even seeking the advice of the people who worked on,the committee with Joel. I in no way wish to direct any malice or insult to the two girls who were appointed as chairmen. According to one at.the deans, they are very nice people, and they are excited about their position. They do have a few new ideas that they would like to put into ;effect during next year's program. But in terms of experience, organizational arld leadership qualities; in other words, knowing how to put their ideas in to action , I can only say that Fischman is much more qualified. Mike Daney said, "Yes, the two girls worked for me for a while. I would still have to back Joel strongly ." In an effort to present the other side, I spoke to Howie, but he would only give me very cautious, stilted answers. He said, "I felt there would be no new direction - mistakes of the past would be carried on as mistakes of the future." (Contrast this with Daney's comment that the program has greatly improved, as well as the fact that Joel, Mike and Harry made every effort to find out what was wrong with the program and how to improve it.) "The girls seemed very interested in working as chairmen," added Tune . Of course, Fischman's two years of work would also seem to imply the same thing. I thought one of Tune's comments to be especially interesting. When I questioned him concerning the. 200-page report that Daney , Fischman and Bielecki had compiled, and asked him why he didn't consider this to be evidence of a gn~at deal of hard work and dedication , he said, "Reports are nice, but they don't bring out that much concrete work." I wonder if this also applies to the report which he wrote and presented to the Committee on Student Life . . . I have been accused (not by . Tune, but by a member of the Administration) of trying to raise a dead issue , of being vindictive and causing trouble by going around asking a lot of questions. Perhaps this particukr issue is dead. According to Tune , "It was my decision and it had to be made. Nothing that comes up will change it." But hopefully I've raised a few questions in all of your minds questions that haven't been answered , but which should be answered before the election of next year's student leaders.

When Dave Kurosky first began to participate in organized basketball, he needed a pogo stick to reach the six-foot mark on the height scale. That was in fifth grade. In ninth grade Dave's pituitary gland went berserk and by the time it decided to become its restive self once again, Dave almost had to kn.eel to equalize the scale's six foot mark and his scalp level. At 6 feet 5 inches though Kurosky is not considered to be exceptionally tall in comparison with other collegiate players who compete in the forward and center positions. In high school Dave could play eye to eye or eye to forehead with most of his counterparts. Now to contend with these "gianter" giants, Dave must rely above all . else on blocking out and positioning.

These factors do partially justify their rates. But I am writing this in the hope that somewhere a benevolent, altruistic doctor will read these words and out of the mercy of his thumping cardiac will step forward and vow to be the team physician for a more reasonable sum - say in the ten to fifteen dollar realm . And certainly, provisions could be made for additional payment sho uld the do ctor have to accompany an injured athlete in an ambulance. Of course , I realize that there are Wilkes athletes who will not respect the treatment of the subject. Some , for instance , will deem a concern for a doctor's presence beneath the dignity of the demands of their physical endeavo rs. I can almost hear their herculean cries , "We're tough. Tough as nails!" Unfortunately nails bend , nails break and sometimes they're driven deep into boards never to be seen again .

Student Government President Howie Tune disclosed that when he issued the original proposal to Dr. Michelini, the college president leaned back, laughed and asserted that consideration of such a proposal would be a waste of time . Thus the new , revised proposition was drawn up and fo rwarded to the students. It was decided that voting for dor~itory hours within the New Men's Dorm itself would be the result of a vote on the part of all persons residing within the unit to e limin ate possible time discr epancies between the (Continued on Page 12) President co·rnes Under Fire Recently a poll ~f student opinion was taken under the direction of Student Government President Howard Tune to determine what changes the students of Wilkes College would be interested in seeing on campus. No one could deny that serious consideration should be given to many of the areas touched upon in the poll. However , the Student Government poll has come under attack in recent days for not being an accurate gauge of student opinion. Our purpose is not to question the poll's accuracy - but its validity . According to Student Government's Rules of Order, no individual member of Student Government can commit the support of the organization to any action, project , idea, or proposal what-so-ever unless specifically charged to do so on a particular issue. After closely examining Student Government's minutes and consulting with several of its members, it becomes clear that Tune was not at any time delegated the power to take such a poll, which , as it now stands, is definitely invalid. In essence it does not speak for Student Government, the representative body of the students, but for Howie Tune and those six stude nts who worked with him . We would like to suggest not only that President Tune get approval from Student Government of his now illegal poll, but also in the future that he utilize the services of more members of Student Government, itself. We are not trying to discourage student participation in S.G. activities but are attempting to encourage a more active role oh the part of S.G. representatives in their own affairs. In examining S.G. minutes dating back to April of 1971 when Tune's administration took office, there has not been a single piece of maj or legislation passed. The obvious question is why has there been so little constructive action on S.G.'s part this year? The answer could very easily be in its own attendance figures . Since April of last year the attendance figure s have been dismal. Out of the 21 members of S.G., there are only eight who have not missed two or more meetings . Indeed, there are six members who at the end of the first semester have exceeded the number of absences allowed by either the S.G. Constitution, or Rules of Order . In fact there is one member who has already exceeded the allowed number of absences for the entire year. The Constitution reads "that three absences during a semester will require a secret ballot of the Government to determine whether or not the member should be dismissed and a vacancy created." Similarily the Rules of Order dictate "that absence from three regular meetings in any one semester shall constitute sufficient grounds for dismissal from Student Government." In looking at the poo r attendance figures one can easily see why nothing has been done thus far this year. The initial defense used is that the S.G . Constitution is antiquated and , therefore , is not closely adheared to by the Government. Indeed the Constitution is outdated , but then it can always be amended, or rewritten . But it appears to us as though it might be difficult to get an adequate number of_Student Government representatives in such a difficult task judging from its first semester record. Another line of defense for the individual government member is the demands placed upon them by other extra-curricular commitments. S.G .'s rules of order explicitly point out "that if any member's extra-curricular commitments are so heavy as to preclude attendance at three or more meetings per semester, then he might be better off without the responsibilities of representation on Student Government." Indeed, we feel that if any member fails through indifference to attend three or more meetings per semester , then S.G . would be better off without his or her representation. With the advent of the second semester it goes without saying that there will be a scurry of activity by S.G. members in an attempt to get the old ball rolling. In most cases we feel it 'won't be due to any sudden burst of interest in bettering the college, or student life , but in an attempt to get themselves re-ele cted. Judging from the absence of any activity in the first semester , it will be interesting to see what new and constructive ideas its members come up with before election time. Hopefully there will be some action taken on the constructive positions of Howie's poll or Student Government's poll. The tone for this year's Student Government has been set by its lack of activity from April to December. Hopefully the students will not be blinded by the second semester scramble of activity , and when the time comes in several weeks they will use discretion in whom they elect for next year. We feel that in many cases it is too late for redemption of many of its leaders and members . by Mike Daney, Joel Fischman, Ross Piazza �Page 2 February 17, 1972 THE BEACON FUTURE TEACHERS LISTED Undile Emphasis On Final Exams? · Pre-classroom briefings fof 43 elementary and 97 secondary school student teachers are currently being conducted by the Wilkes College Education Department in preparation for six to eight weeks of actual experience scheduled to begin next month . _ The future teachers received their assignments this month to elementary and secondary schools throughout the Greater Wyoming Valley Area.

Arlene Patricia Kunigel is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kunigel , 727 Donnelly Street, Duryea. She is considering graduate school, but regardless of the amount of education she decides upon , teaching, particularly on the elementary level , maintains prime importance. As Arlene put it , " the entire purpose of teaching music could best be summed up by one girl who in rt:ply to a test question , 'Why are you studying music?' wrote, 'When I grow up I want to be a very good singer and get lots of money and be like David Cassidy'." Exchanging Views by Gary Horning With the recent drop in applications for admission to colleges and universities across the land, Wilkes must cSnsider its future relating not only to quality but quantity of prospective students. With this thought in mind, let us consider the incoming Freshman Weekend and its relevance to the future of our college. Friday's pilgrimage will feature many apprehensive, frequently naive students who, along with their parents will descend upon Wilke.s College to examine its inherent qualities. They will be preoccupied with the thought of how much this college offers the individual socially , academically and spiritually. Parents invariably pursue insight regarding the academic atmosphere of a particular college. They want to know what kind of an education their son or daughter will be offered , and righ tfully so. The students will invertibly seek out the social aspects of a particular college or university . It is here that Wilkes College will most certainiy encounter a snag . No, matter how much persuasive propaganda administrators of the college include in their addresses to these prospective students and their families , the student body of the college will have a picture of its own to paint. My hunch is purely speculative, but judging fro m student gossip or shop talk , these prospective Wilkes College freshmen will not leave our campus without first having seen all the colors in the spectrum. Visitation Proposal The problem once again boils down to the recent visitation porposal. The far-reaching aspects of the original proposition have been watered down beyond recognition and most students are disheartened if not embittered ." Even if the proposal is not acted upon by the Administration in time for the weekend's festivities, a "Resignation to Defeat" lingers in the minds of even the optimists, as few give it chance for survival. Thus it is easy to conclude that an incoming freshman , exposed to two evenings of dormitory life with people wl{o are acutely unhappy with their living environment will very likely take the option of going elsewhere. With tl;lis in mind , the Administration had best take much into consideration before acting upon visitation as well as several other high priority issues. A college's function is to educate , and the achievement of education is made easier and more productive in a relaxed environment conducive to consideration for the opinions of othe rs. · Finally, the main point to be put across in this column is that the Wilkes College family owes the incoming freshmen and their paren ts a brand of integrity rarely displayed in the field of recru itment. The Administration should enlighten these high school seniors to the student dissatisfaction on this cam pus and explain why a particular action was taken with regard to a specific issue, such as visitation . The student body should complement this effort with one of their own to describe what's right with Wilkes College . Giving these people the whole story should prove successful in the long run as a college freshm an will be getting what he bargained for when he or she arrives at Wilkes College next fall. �February 17, 1972 THE BEACON Proctor Finds Experience Rewarding by Mariea Barbella isn't in.

However, this time our walks cleared within reasonable length of time? City laws require that walks should be students have compromised. They wrote up cleared within 24 hours after the snowfall, an original proposal, stating honestly and - When the · ice begins to melt and then refreeze, sincerely what they felt the majority of the the walks become even more treacherous. The students wanted. When it was met by certain ice ripples and walking becomes an art in members of the Administration with very itself, with only the most dexterious little seriousness, they tried again, lowering their goals, but maintaining their original surviving. It is not outside the bounds of human intent. It is our hope that both the students and reason to realize that the maintenance crews _ the Administration will seek to under~tand do, in fact, have a very busy schedule, but t he pace they were working at is totally the problems and perogatives of the other unreasonable. There are quite a few walks on side. There are probably some inherent campus, and in most cases the only way problems within the visitation policy which certain dorms get their walks cleared is if they must be ironed out, and the students will have have considerate neighbors who are willing to to realize that many things must be taken into -consideration . do the job or lend them the equipment. But at the same time, the Administration Student crews are another possibility for cannot ignore the support which the policy clearing the area following a snowstorm. has among the people who are now living Many students, male and female, would clear the walks, either for a few dollars, or if each under the present dormitory regulations.

The cause they are students twist and turn along the walks as fighting may go -beyond the visitation they "hurry" to classes, taking almost double question. Perhaps what they are trying to say the normal time to get to buildings such as is that the ideals of the college must go beyond the Administrative structure. _It is a Parrish.

Questioned To the editor : [ have been as ked by several citiz ns of Wyoming Valley to express their app rec iation to the members of the Wilkes College comm-u nity for providing the funds which enable them to take .,,':lc;lvan tage of attending such /excellent programs as that I presented on February Io , by Harrison Salisbury as part of the / College's Concert and Lecture Series. These individuals are very appreciative of the effort 'made by most students, faculty and Administrative people at the College to stay away from these programs and thus insu ring that approximately two-thirds of the J seating capacity of the auditorium be made available to them. J IR oe ome ................................................. Bielecki. Daney never retarded anyone else's efforts in an attempt to promote Fischman, if that is what you are suggesting. You ask us to applaud Mr. Tune for putting a kink in this "self-perpetuating system." Before anyone starts clapping, motives behind actions should be considered. Actions made in the best interest of the school are one thing. Personal or political moves which in the long run may hurt the school are quite another thing. Yes, your expose has raised a few questions in my mind. Some of these include _ how did Joel get picked for that important position last year? Why and who picked him? Why was Joel the only one to be introduced to the important people, the people "next year's ,chairman should know"? I can't help but picture an understanding between Messrs. Daney, Bielicki and Fischman, obviously, Miss Gomer, and others that Joel would automatically become the next chairman,, thus making Howie's decision {his right as Student Government president) unnecessary or, at least, superfluous. l Personally, I'm happy to see that •ij,owie didn't concede to this archaic convention and rather ·1 selected freely from the qualified students on campus. Rather than attacking Howie, Miss Gomer, I think we should applaud him for putting a kink in this self-perpetuating system. When you come to the consideration of why there is so much apathy at Wilkes, did you 1 ever stop to think that one of the reasons we don't hav~ as many Editor's Note: Mr. Pellegrini, you bring up some good ideas, but perhaps you have missed the main point in the column that you criticize. You say that you are happy that Howie "selected freely from the qualified students on campus." If that was what Mr. Tune had done , the column would never have been written. When you stop to consider th_e many uninvolved people (uninvolved because they realize "they don't know the 'right' people and therefore will not be selected for any important position,") it is . ta kes _o bv'10us, at 1east to me, that 1t mo_!'e than knowing the right people, and ,if that was Joel's only qualification, again, the column would never have been written. You ask why Joel was picked for that important position last year, and suggest an understanding between Daney, Bielecki and Fischman. (This reporter had nothing to do with the organization of Freshman Orientation, and consequently, nothing to do with any real or imaginary understanding that existed.) Again, you seem to have missed the point. Daney depended on Joel because he was · willing and capable of doing the work, which should be the main consideration. What the understanding amounted to was this: when the Student Government President made his decision he would choose the person or persons who had worked longest and hardest on the committee, which doesn't seem so unreasonable. You object to the fact that Joel was the only one to be introduced to "the people next year's chairman should know," (which may or may not be significant; it certainly was not one of this reporter's main points.) It was a logical move made by Daney in view of the fact that Joel was handling a considerable amount of the work, more than anyone except Daney and perhaps To the editor: Bitch, Bitch, Bitch. "There is nothing to do and no place to go. Why doesn't this school sponsor more activities?" Sound familiar? W~ll, it is obvio us that you, the student, are not interested in any activities and just may do yourself a big favor if something does pop up and you attend. As a student leader, [ am referring to the general apathy that existed at the most recent Sophomore Class meeting last Thursday. Attendance was so bad that it was almost impossible to plan any new class activities because of lack of participation . Sure, we have great organization and have been the most active class in the school this year, . but the burden of promoting these activitjes falls on a few devoted individuals on the executive council. If you are going to bitch about lack of activities, it's due to your own lack of interest. We have been very successful on all of our class projects this year and have the opportunity to sponsor more, but the lack of participation limits the number of coffee houeses, dances, movies, outings and winter activities that can be planned. It is a well-known fact that. apathy exists on this campus - but this is ridiculous! We need more support in promoting our activities. A few people can plan only a few activities. If you are going to complain, be prepared to do something to improve the situation. Sincerely , Carole Lowande President , Sophomore Class Lonely at the Top His press kit contains a large glossy photo, a four-page bio , ten newspaper articles about him and twelve yellow "33 and 1/3" - cent Randy Newman Reprise stamps. "Presenting the best reviewed artist of 1971," the press kit offers: Randy Newman. And then the adjectives spew out: "the finest," "great," "best pop singer ," "a major star," " a pure delight ," "mindbending" and on and on until one wonders . But don't stop reading now_ You may not have heard Randy New.man - you may not have heard about Randy Newman - but this Newman is a new man on the composing and singing scene and, as much as he'll fight it, Randy Newman probably will live up to all those adjectives, the four-page bio and at least ten out of twelve most embarrassing stamps. The writer of such popular songs as "Mama Told Me Not To Come ," "I'll Be Home" and "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today," Newman - an owlish-looking 28-year-old - was making the rounds of the college circuit recently. On stage he's meek and mumbly humble, muttering an occasional "What would you like to hear?" or "This is a song I wrote." He's unpretentious almost to the point of being pretentious_ But not quite. He ends the quiet , hour-long Randy Newman song fest with a quick and quiet "goodbye" and the audience loves him_ Finally, when he sings them, those strange lyrics make sense. -His Jilting lullaby-esque melodies have an undertone of menacing macabre . His music is a coy combination of black and white humor, cynical satire and small town nostalgia , presented in gentle character sketches that range from down home naivete to "All In The Family" set to music . His songs are short and semi-sweet. He writes about The Yellow Man "eating rice all day/ while the children play ... he keeps his money tight in his hand/ with his yellow woman he's a yell.o w man." Or, "Sister Sue, she's short and stout/ she didn't grow up, she grew out/ Mama says she's plain, but she's just being kind/ Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's p e II e g r in i C 0 m ffl en d S HOW i e Tu n e 10 the editor, r j involved people as we should, might be because these people are aware that they don't know the "r ight" peo ple and there fore will not be selected for any important position? Sincerely , Al Pellegrini Page 7 ..................................................., Lovvande Hits Sophomore Class Apathy Miss Myvanwy Williams You selflessly moved With an exceptional grace Your smile emblazed with a rare joy you felt and nourished and shared Let us forever captivate the memory of you For with you was fired the timeless masquerade of life's drama And through you was realized the artistry of giving and-the true gift of self You - a mere wisp ofa woman Dressed in retiring lace The artistry of giving and the infinite gift of self Embodied - in a mere _wisp of a lady Dressed in retiri!]g lace almost blind/ don't let her out much 'cept at night/ but I don't care 'cause I'm alright_,_: And a middle-American Jove story : "We met one summer evening as the sun was going down/ she was lying on the beach in her graduation gown . .. they sent her to high school, they sent her to low school, she just wouldn't go no further." Off-stage, Randy Newman is shy and yet brash; meek yet mouthy ; evasive and abrasive . "When I have a choice, I don't talk at all ," he said at the beginning of our interview. "I don't like reading about myself and I don't like listening to myself. I don't know who buys my records, I don't know who sees my concerts. I don't know what my appeal is." So what does he know and/or like? "All I care about is how I'm writing. It's so much the main thing that the rest of the stuff isn't important. I'll look at the record sales figures and there's James Taylor up there and there I am down there. But it isn't a big thing." "What do you do in yotir spare time?" I asked. "I stick pins in my little doll of James Taylor." "What do you spend your money on?" "Pins." And then he laughs - no , cackles - because none of this is serious. Except when he's writing music "which matters" nothing else matters. He's putting me on and he's putting himself on. He's a crotchety young man and everyone should just leave him alone and let him write. He laughs at his fame, fortune and stardom because they don't exist for him. His manner and his music want us to remember that he's Just Plain Folk Like You and Like Me. But (Continued on Page 9) �THE BEACON February 17,197 1- .,_ COMIC OPERA TONIGHT by Marietta Bednar A Protest Against Protestors Me thinks tho u dost protest too much (Freely quoted from Shakespeare)Shakespeare had the right idea, Wilkes does not. I titled this column a protest against protestors simply because I feel that while the peo ple who protest might have the right idea, more often th an no t the y do not have the energy or the enthusiasm to carry out the refo rm , once it is initiated . Every year just before the beginning of th e spring season , all the campus ( ex cuse the te rm) rad icals suddenly get the urge to start reforms and make the nece ssary changes in the cam pus. A task they should have been pursuing throughout the entire year. Change cannot come about simply because someone, somewhere gets the brilliant idea that he doesn't like things the way they are . Change requires well thought-out plans and people who are willing to initiate change. fne In the course of a regular week on campus , I have come across several student leaders and their complaints all centered around the same thing. "We need something done and people to serve on committees, but NO ONE has the time." I can't think of any other students o n campus who have less time than our student leaders. Many of these individuals, outside of running campus events, are also Wilkes College will present the Turnau Opera Players' rendition of "The Barber of Seville" tonight, at 8 p .m ., full time students with classes to attend, reports to make, papers to be in the Center for the Pe1forming Arts. · written and many of these same people also hold down part time j obs.

As most Turnau performances are, this will be performed in English. body , and they .have to beg someone to help them, the usual reply is, The Turnau Opera Players originated wiih a group of former students of the late Professor Josef Turnat! and "I'm too busy ." is named in his honor.

Dr. Thatcher Makes Additional Comments Concerning Jazz To the editor: In my previous letter on the jazz · seminar I did nol pose as a historian of jazz. My study and teaching of history over the years dealt with other subjects than jazz. As a historian, however , I was fully conscious of the superiority, generally speaking , of primary sources over secondary sources and, having grown up and participated actively in a small way in the early y ears of the Jazz Age , I regarded myself as a primary source of sorts on that period and felt that I i;night be able to contribute something of value to an understanding of the spirit of it as well as to correct what seemed to me to have been some errors in the presentation at the seminar . I should like herein to make some further comments , this t ime on P~ofessor Swartchild's reply to my first letter. In the first place , he and I don't Shop at . .. RABAM' For Your School Supplies See us at our new location 106 SOUTH MAIN STREET WILKES-BARRE Phone 825-5625 seem to agree on what years should be included in " early years of the Jazz Age ." I prefer to regard the early years as those prior to 1920, whereas he seems to include the twenties in the early years. But by the twenties jazz had made its way from its birthplace in the Storyville section of New Orleans all the way (by way of Chicago) to New York and was firmly ensconced in Tin Pan Alley (and Harlem). I therefore regard jazz as having been in full flow~r, so to speak , during the twenties , though still adhering rather closely to the Dixieland style of its originators. If I may . stick to my premise that the early years (those with which I am most familiar) ended in 1920, then I must reiterate my statement about the importance of the violin in the early jazz ensembles. (The word- "combo" was not used in those days , nor was "band" often used. The groups _were generally referred to as "orchestras," perhaps a somewhat too flattering term.) At any rate , the instruments of the typical small dance orchestra of those days were the violin , piano, and drums. If a larger group was needed, one generally added a banjo and a saxophone . An interesting sidelight on those days is that the "extras" nee.ded for-a particular engagement could be procured by merely phoning the local branch of the musicians' union even though neither I nor_my fellow musicians in our small o rchest ra were ever A NEW SERV1CE COMES TO WYOMING VALLEY!!

That was in the pre-Petrillo days: Such a practice of the early days which could not be repeated today was our habit of making a tour of the music-publishing houses in Tin Pan Alley and coming home with an armful of the latest orchestrations - free! To return to Professor Swartchild's letter. A few years ago his cursory treatment of ragtime might have sufficed as the "airing it deserved," but in view of the really remarkable revival of interest in ragtime at high musical levels that I mentioned in my original letter, I fe lt that it was entitled to ·more and better treatment than it received in the seminar, especially since the renditions of "Tiger Rag" and the "Maple Leaf Rag" were so poor that they did not by any means do credit to the composers. A Max Morath record would have presented those numbers in a much more attractive style . I don't quite understand Swartchild's derogatory use of the term "commercial" as applied to "white imitators." As I said in my original letter , practically all jazz orchestras were dance orchestras in those early days, and they played for pay ( except in occasional ')am sessions" when they played for their o wn amusement.) Moreover, Negroes we re not the sole originators of jazz and whites mere imitators witness George Gershwin, for example . As for my confusing my personal tastes with the mainstream of jazz evolution, I confess that I do not like all the types of jazz that are being played at present, especially those types that are not conducive to dancing , but I am afraid that Professor Swartchild was guilty of the sa.me human failing when he omitted (if I recall correctly) any mention of Paul Whiteman in his seminar review of the mainstream of jazz because (as is evident in his letter) he doesn't like Whiteman's style of jazz "that drove poor Bix (Beidetbeck) to drink ." Even though Whiteman (who, incidentally, was a violinist) may not be accepted as a purveyor of true jazz by certain critics, he was proclaimed King of Jazz by millions of Americans in the twenties, and, it seems to me, it is the millions , not the carping few , who determine where the mainstream is at any given time. If what the Lanin orchestras play today is not jazz , as Swartchild asserts, then I don 't know what it is. It certainly is not classical music, and he does. not help me out by giving it a name. I suppose he might deign to call it "pseudo-jazz," the name he applied to the music "played at tea dances." If so , then I'm all for pseudo-jazz because it was at those very tea dan ces that the best ballroom dan cing could be observed in the twenties and they NEED A RESUME? were the occasio ns when dancing and jazz music at tained to the Have it done correctly and greatest degree that harmony that I professionally .

Moreover , even though those orchestras employ a style very similar to that of the twenties, their music is not therefore hopelessly out of date or "fossilized ." In the field of classical music many compositions of a century or more ago are played more frequently than those of more recent vintage. In fact , the excellence of classical composition in some of the great eras of the past may neve r be equalled again , and the same thing could happen in the field of jazz, both in composition and in execution. What is on the frontier is not always the best ; frequently, it is definitely inferior to what lies in the hinterland of space or time. F)nally, the people who give employment to the society orchestras of the present are also not necessarily fossilized relics of a bygone age . As a matter of fact , it was a Lanin orchestra that played for the senior prom when my younger son graduated · from Princeton in 1965 . Princeton seniors of I 965 were certainly not fossilized yet even though their parents may have been close to it. Harold W. Thatcher RICK MITZ (From Page 7) "I won't let it happen.

In a mee t which saw Tro vei , Zellne r, Yanku and Arnould defeated , the Colonels came t h rough wi th a victo ry due to Bob Roberts' one-sided decision, Bob Lee's valuable pin victory and the im pressive, unexpected , upset turned in by 190-pound freshman Joe Grinkevich. The important wi n upped the Wilkes seasonal log to 9-3 while the host, Hofstra dropped to a 13-2 record. In the awaited battle of the Titans , former GAR standout , Joel Kislin bested Al Arnould by a narrow 2-1 margin. Junior Jay McGi nlcy opened the meet by jumping to a 2-0 lead, only to have his opponent knot the score. The difference came in the bout via rid ing time accumulated by the scrappy Colonel from Kingston. Bob Roberts in creased the Blue and Gold lead to 7-0 as he garne,ed a four-point superior decision over Rich Sjoberg. Several times Roberts was close to gaining a pin but was forced to se ttle for a 12-0 whitewash . Hofstra then serit out Mark Gottwald , who no rmally wrestles at 126 but moved u p to avoid a .,.c onfrontatio n and possible loss to Ro be rts . Coach Reese rnun tered by moving T rovei up o ne weight to 142 and sending John Chak makas to fac e Gottwald . Chakmakas did no t disa ppo int his coach or team as he held his highly touted foe to a 1-1 standoff. The bout was o nly the se cond for John this season. At 142, Art Trovei was defeated by Randy Bates who used a five -point pancake maneuver to gain the advantage. Art came storm ing back to narrow the deficit but lost by a 6-3 score . Undefeated Neil Duncan had to ba ttle valiantly in order to ga in a 6-1 decision o ver Bob were holding a slim one-point lead 8-7. Sophomore sensation, Mike Lee, gave the Reesemen a bigger edge as he utilized a reverse nelson to pin Dennis Garetano. Mike is now 11-1 for the year. Colonel Captain , Al Zellner, lost a tough 9-6 decision to Rick Santee in. their 167 pound skirmish. Hofstra then sliced the lead to 14-13 as Frank Lyman outpointed Bob Yanku 15-12 in a real crowd-pleaser in the 177 pound bout. The stage was now set for the dramatic upset by Joe Grinkevich. Prior to the match, Joe's record was 4-4-1 while his adversary, Gene Reid, was sporting 1 -3 -1 credentials. The Colonels' Ione freshman starter refused to be intimidated as he came thro ugh with a first-period takedown. Joe then held on to his o pponent to fashion the startling 4-3 victory. Wilkes then had a lead of I 8-14; only a pin would give Hofstra the victory. The two, hulking giants then strided out to engage in their highly publicized war. Kislin tipped the scales at 290 while Al Arnould was "only" in the vicinity of 260 for this big encounter. Al came up with a 1-0 lead by virtue of a second period escape. Kislin escaped with 1: 30 left in the final period and had one minute riding time to gain his 2-1 margin of victory. · Special Excursion!

The Colonels pulled the unexpected victory when they won the 400-yard freestyle medley because of the disqualification of a Lycoming swimmer who left the start mark too soon. Co-Captains Rick Marchant and Gene Dobrydney both were victorious in the 200-yard butterfly and breaststroke events. Freshman Doug Mason garnered a first in the SO-yard free style. Big surprise of the mee~ was ,vhen Bob Henze defeated Middle Atlantic Diving Champ Doug Krienke in the one meter dive. Steve Marshall of Lycoming was the only triple winner gaining victories in the 100, 200 and 500-yard freestyle events. The Blue and Gold Record is now at the .500 plateau with an overall 3-3 mark and a 3-0 slate in the Middle Atlantic Conference. The prestigous tally was also a joyous one for the ~olonels becau~e if was the first victory against Lycoming since the nvalary came mto existence in / 958. . Other Colonels contributing to the victory were : Barry Rasmussen, Jeff Giberson Jim Phethean , Don Drust and Bria n Finn.

Bo~ling Last week Intramural Bowling came to a close as once again the defending champions, Slocum, found themselves victorious with a record of 29½ wins and l 0½ losses. Gore finished second with a record of 22½ and 17½. On Tuesday night the league began the second half with the addition of two day hop teams (The Juniors and 130 West River), bringing the total number of teams to 7. It proved to be a long night for 130 West River as they were defeated by the Juniors 3-1. High man for the Juniors was Bill Nichols with highs of 441-169 , and Dan Coughlin chipped in with a 194 high single. Slocum and Gore, finishing I and 2 in the first half, battled to a 22 tie . The top men for Slocum were Don Drust with a 486 triple and Tom Page with a 179 high single.

Traveling to Bingham~on the squad upped its seasonal slate to 10-8 by defeating Harpur College 55-52. The Colonels held a comfortable 33-26 halftime advantage but had to weather a cold shooting hand and a late Harpur rally to secure the win. ' High scorers for the Blue and Gold were Clarence Ozgo and Mark Caterson with 14 points each. The victo ry ran the Colonel win streak' to three games , but the enjoyment was to be short lived. Against Moravian at ·sehtlehem the Colonels were unable to maintain their 31-30 halftime lead and bowed 77-76. This time the Colonels staged a late onslaught, trailing by seven points with two minutes remaining. Their surge trimmed the margin to one before time expired. Mike Bachkosky regained his early season form, pumped in 20 points and hauled down 13 rebounds to lead the Colonels. Senior Dave Kurosky alsp made his presence felt by blistering the twine for 17 points and collecting 14 rebounds. · Overall shooting for the Colonels, however , was weak. Coach Bearde's targeteers managed only 32 of 78 from the field , while the Greyhounds were 25 for 42. The Colonels are now 10-9 on the season . Should they vanquish Lycoming, a team that has beaten them handily twice this season, they may have a chance to make their first appearance in the Northern Division play-offs. Dear Sports Editor : Could you please explain why Wilkes College does not play King' s : ollege in any sports? I know that King's only has a club football team and if we lost to them we would not only be losing a game but status as well. However, they do have a school sponsored basketball team as well as other sports. Their basketball team is obtaining quite a name for themselves by playing such schools as American University. I think the old line that there and childish escapades of Wilkes would be too much conflict in the and King's students who felt that stands is a little old hat .

A few weeks ago I was just that lucky. It was a quiet day, kind of warm; one of those days that lets you know that spring isn't so very far away, and my winter restlessness took me to Kirby Park. As I walked along I noticed an old man just a little ahead of me. He was small and bent civer (from years of carrying the world on his shoulders? I wondered). When I caught up with him he seemed lost in thought, and we walked together for several moments wrapped in the silence of the empty park. He spoke to me in a low quiet voice. We talked about the beauty of solitude and the need for a time to be alone with the only real honesty in the world - nature. • · I felt compelled to listen to this man, to see if years and wisdom can really be equated. I was soon to become very appreciative of the time I spent with him. He told me of a different world, one that lacked the freedom and frenzy of ours, and within his nostalgia was an acceptance of change. He told me of a different sort of young people, with their own set of goals, their own hopes and fears. He spoke of war and depression in a way that separated him from most old people. Yes, the years have bent him a litt\e , and he has seen much ugliness and sorrow, but he looked at me , at my generation, with a compassion and understanding that I had doubted the old possessed. "You young people have a deep spirit within you that won't allow you merely to accept things, a spirit that causes you to rebel against the wrongs that you see." Then he smiled, and said, "You see, I remember. My youth was spent in a different time, and my concerns were necessarily less idealistic and more practical. But I remember questioning my parents and my teachers, and when at a very early age I was thrust into the 'cold, hard world,' there was so much I wanted to change. "The war was something that not too many of us disagreed with. That is one thing that separates our generations now. The situations were - , different, something that we (meaning the older generation) tend to forget. "But I came back a changed man. Maybe it seems too dramatic to say that after fighting in a war I could never be quite the same, but that's the way it was. I was taught to hate. I was taught to kill. It's very hard to Jove after spending two years killing people before they can kill you. "That is why I look to today's youth in a very special way . I want you to love your country, but I hope that you will never stop questioning its leaders. It becomes very easy after a while to hate. You young people are talking about love. Sometimes that is even harder to do, and I admire your attempts." He then talked about education, and I received another insight into the uniqueness of this man. For so many of his generation, college w.is just an unattainable dream. The fact that he finished high school probably says more for him than my three years at Wilkes ·can say for me. Trying to compensate for his lack of formal education, the old man read all he could. Perhaps reacting to his war experiences, he developed a great interest in history and politics. Now, when most people his age are content to enjoy the relaxation of retirement, he is taking courses toward a degree in history. "I have no illusions of ever using the degree, if I finish, but just being able to take college courses is enough. Being with young people has given me an entirely different outlook. "I can no longer condemn the actions of youth. I sympathize with their frustrations and confusion, and I admire their concern." As I said, it was a quiet day, kind of warm; and one of those days I will remember for a long time.

I Wilkes Hosts Applicants Students, faculty and Administration combined in a joint effort last weekend to acquaint prospective freshmen and their parents with the various aspects of college life, in spite of inclement weather conditions. The only changes in the weekend's itinerary were the cancellation of sports events and the rescheduling of most events in the main dining hall. The changes did work out for the best, however, providing everyone with a most informal opportunity to exchange views and literally get to know one another. The olic of the colle e has alwa s been one of ersonal contact and involvement.

(See related pictures on Page 1) Dear Dr. Reif, You've pro bably come to the conclusion by now that either I don't exist or that the United States Postal system works in only one direction - from you to me. It's easy to see that even if I were to write a letter every day, fro m now until the end of the school year, I wouldn't be able to answer all the letters you have written concerning the BEACON. The lack of response is not a reflection on you, personally, but a realistic attitude toward time. With the paper's schedule and the time I have to devote to other things, the idea of writing so many responses is somewhat frightening. You are one of the few people on campus who does write some constructive criticism of the paper, instead of passing comments in the commons or cafete ria without any backing. When I listen to comments about the paper, one of the most frequently heard expressions is "nobody reads it." If no one reads the paper, then how can they find so much to criticize? Recently we have covered several sides of an issue concerning the student governing bodies. It seems as if the chronic complaint about not covering the campus has turned to one of covering it too well . It's a newspaper's role to report the facts , and it also has an obligation in some respects to interpret those facts. · In many ways it's a good sign when people start questioning - it means they are reading, analyzing and best of all, thinking. But they also have to keep one thing in mind - everyone has the same right, and even though it might not be in agreement , the paper also has the obligation to print the opposite side. In your last letter you mentioned that I refer to politics as if it were a dirty word . Perhaps to me it is. Politics has taken on a special meaning for me, and in every sense of the word , the interpretation is not good. People playing the game of politics as I see it, take advantage of their position in order to put pressure on others. In this sense our entire way of life , even here at Wilkes, has become a game of cat and mouse. Very few people are willing to step out and be heard, because they realize that they will have to suffer the consequences. Yet it is perfectly all right to sit back and expect the paper to take a stand. We DO make very definite stands regarding key issues, and the pressure is"often exerted, but not by the Administration as some might think, but by faculty and student body members. I'd like to be able to sit back, gazing through tinted glasses, believing that politics, as such, do not exist at Wilkes, that everyone is honest and that freedom of speech could be exercised without fear of the consequences. Unfortunately, this is not so. , Part of the role of any newspaper is to call 'the shots as we see them , but I still have a hard time justifying the send1!1g out of a reporter on an assignment , when I know if the article is worde.it the wrong way , he might ·suffer for it personally. One thing never ceases to puzzle me, how can we become a voice of the student body , if the students themselves are not willing to talk? Time and time again we have made the plea for students to come to the office and contribute their time and efforts to constructive production, but very few have actually exerted the energy to do so. Anyone who has asked to have a viewpoint or article printed will testify to the fact that we have not in the past, nor will we, ever attempt to censor any material that comes fro m any member of the Wilkes College campus, unless it falls under the realm of libel. In fac t many are pleasantly surprised at the coverage. In closing, I would like to thank you fo r your continued interest in the BEACON. Maybe it can spread, and eve n infect some of the _students and other faculty members.

Met with a slight -drawback, they revised and rewrote the proposal until it contained material that was agreeable to both the Administration and the student body. Student leaders dealing with the Administration and their fellow students are caught in a difficult situation, which is something many people don't realize. The dilemma· of reporting back to the students they are representing, and yet being in a position of confidence with the administration for certain matters, is no small headache. Pagliaro, Tune and others have handled this very well. The final decision concerning the proposal has not yet beE?n made, but any decision can in no way demean the quality and amount of work which was put into its construction. Com~ic Ballet Closes Down Our hats go off to the maintenance crew for the excellent job they did this past weekend on snow removal. Saturday morning, before many of us were out of bed, members of the crew were out cleaning the sidewalks, as more snow came down. The next day, walks and paths were being cleared entirely of ice and further acgumulations of snow. In man;y ways the positiol'I of being a member of the maintenance crew is a thankless job. Everyone comments when the job isn't done, but when the /1 job is don, proficiently, no one says anything. The job of maintenance, even on a college campus the size of Wilkes, involves qtlite a bit of little odd jobs, and a lot of running around. With old buildings, ;there is always something going wrong, from light bulbs burning out to·· majpr leak~ in pipes. When we see something wrong on campus, it is,part of our responsibility to comment on it, but at the same time, it's also well to take note of a job 1 wel I done.

King's has announced that they will hold an Aquacade.

More information will be available at a later date concerning the booths. Committee members from Wilkes are: Frances Kuczynski, Jim Fiorino, Josie Schifano, Carole Lowande, Pete Jadelis, Kathy Davies, Mike Daney, Joel Fischman, Judy Walsh and Harry Bielecki. The advisor is Dean Moss. The Clean Environment Committee is also working on a project for the weekend. (From Page 2) permitted to attend the upcoming rock concert. It was also hinted that this would mean the use of the Kingston Armory despite its miserable accoustics. Bielecki reported that $183 was Jost on the last SG sponsored dance. And Publicity Chairman Mike Barski explained that an error on his posters for the Turnau opera was because, "that's how it was printed in the Beacon." Mr. Jack Holt would like to know how many students would be interested in a reduced fare for Wilkes-Barre Transit Buses. The 35 cent fare would be reduced to 25 cents if there is enough interest. Anyone interested may direct their questions and/or approval to Dean James Moss, Second Floor, Weckesser Hall. -------------------------·r---~~;-;~;.-.._. _. _. I. BEAf~ON 1- To the editor: The document "A Report to the Committee of Student Life" was not conceived by, nor in any way connected to, the Student Government or Inter-Dormitory Council. It amazes me that Messrs. Daney, Fischman and Piazza espoused such an argument, especially since nowhere in · the report is an affiliation mentioned, not even after the names of the authors. The students who worked on the poll and report, even those of us who do hold an office, did so only because of an interest in the issues presented. The hope was to give the Student Government and IDC a base to begin reforms by telling, in quantitative terms, what the students want. Since the report was written, a visitation proposal has been submitted, an ad hoc administrative committee has been formed to look into the phys.ed. program; there hiis been a rebirth of concern about parking and new guidelines - for dropping courses have been instituted. Now in the planning stages are proposals for final immunity, revised grading, pass-fail courses in some non-major subjects and a day-student council similar to the IOC. Although some of these programs are a long way from final adoption, I am still quite ~.~cour~ed ~~ r~s~.Its .of ~s illegal _and mval1d report. It is now the JOb of SG: an~ I~ to try' .< thro~gh further leg1slation, . to alle~at~ ~me ~f ~e other pomts of imtabon mdicated by the students. I would hope that Messrs. Daney, Fischman a~d Pia:za will devote some of then considerable energies and acumen to work on ... the issues and forget about who sanctioned the · report that brought these issues to the surface. I also feel, as do many others, that the attack on Howie Tune was entirely out of place on the Beacon's front page. I fully acknowledge the right to express opinion, but to put what would have been a letter to the editor under the facade of "Viewpoints" is, at best, unethical. Coupled with the headline, "President Comes Under Fire," the letter became an insult to Mr. Tune. I hope that the Beacon confines further "Viewpoints" to the editorial page or the page opposite it. The Beacon should stop using its resources to fuel the obvious feud between its· editors, Fischman and Tune. To continue, it can only destroy student interests.

BEACON Phone - (717) 824-465 I, Ext. 263 PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS ~,. ~ February 24, 1972 THE BEACON Page 4 completely turned off to the idea of education. There are faculty members on this campus who are unable to communicate with the students ,'"" because of language barriers; , faculty members who art!! exceedingly bored with theit' students and many who are poorly qualified to teach even in their fields of knowledge. Very often it is not the teacher's fault for breeding , a poor educational environment. Holding a class in Parrish Annex witli a group of 40 students is not an exactly appropriate environment, since the noise from downstairs and tl: soft-spoken instructor make it 10 times harder to become involved in a 45-minute lecture. Along with all of the social changes that this school vitally needs, I feel that a few academic interest$ might be proposed an, initiated before this school bree mediocracy and boredom. I ~ truely interested in whateve happened to the faculty evaluation program that was discussed last year. Perhaps something can be done about the final priority of an instructor to issue a grade to a student. If the student feels that he has been given an unfair grade, he has almost no chance for ,reconsideration, since t he•instrt?cto · has the privilege of total cohfrol over the grades issued:" This is disgustirig and there should be some kind of appeal system. I feel that the academic 'program of Wtlkes needs consideration for the conditions under which· classes are held and an evaluation program of the faculty. · b Sinterely ,i...,. Carole Lowande Cresta Asks: · Whose Voice? : To the editor: Let me start off by saying that "your" paper ·is a poor representation of the Wilkes student body. I stress the word "your" because the Beacon is most certainly not "ours." Instead of emphasizing your energy on the problems that confront us , you either ignore them or you condemn rniniscule aspects of proposals, staying clear of taking a stand on major issues. For example, the Beacon spent its time cithe c condeming small errors or questioning the legality of an excellent report presented by Mr. Tune. Again you avoided taking a stand. I further believe it is a disgrace to those attempting to make those needed reforms to be branded as "radicals" by Miss Bednar. Since when are equal rights for women radical? Wake up Miss Bednar and look beyond those walls at Shawnee Hall. Did you ever think that you have a responsibility as the voice of the Wilkes student? Your paper no more fills this necessity than it did under Miss Klaproth , and that's pretty bad. You have the nerve to condemn President Tune's administration for lack of action. Well, people of the Beacon what have you done? The last two administrations have finally tried to satisfy the student-1-s need for change. This change cannot happen overnight, �' February 24, 1972 the extreme actions of reformers. Reform is the only way that progress can be made.

Marietta Bednar THE BEACON Page 5 FIRST IN A SERIES V·ISITATION -POLICIES ON OTHER CAMPUSES by Gary Horning In my column of three weeks past, l pledged to pursue a series of case-in-points concerning dormitory visitation policies on other campuses. The following is the first of what will hopefully include several follow-up cases revealing what dormitory life is like elsewhere. To date, 35 institutions have been contacted in hopes of learning more about their respective policies. Included in the replies are not just days and hours of visitation, but student, faculty and administration views concerning the successes and failures of their programs as well as their inherent qualities and '.\·eaknesses. determined the hours for the different dorms, since the women on campus felt that they should have the same rights to determine their own hours as the men. This merged committee came up with a weak proposal designed to establish one visitation policy, which nobody particularly liked, anl the administration vetoed it. No further action has been taken by either the committee or the administration. The men are happy with their hours, the women wish to have more freedom to choose. The faculty is more or less apathetic about the whole thing. The administration has received some criticism from parents, and has made threats to place some limitation on visitation hours for men, but so far they have just been threats, designed to calm the parents, but no I cannot over-emphasu..e the fact . that when the action has been taken. requests were sent out, I had no idea whether half of 1 these institutions even had open housing on their So that's the mixed up situation here, and I hope it I would like Mr. Cresta to refer campuses.

SPORTS PRISM by Steve Jones At the start of the winter season it looked as though only an overdose of Cinderella magic could save Wilkes College from , one of its least victorious athletic campaigns. Coach John Reese's wrestlers, though unbeaten last season, had a whopping void to be filled where the graduation of four phenomenal seniors cast gray shadows for the 71-72 team's prospects. Commencement also robbed the Colonel cagers of four top-notch basketball players and to compound troubles the veteran players who did retur~ had to familiarize themselves with the techniques brought in by new Head Coach Rodger Bearde, and he likewise had to familiarize himself with his players' talents. For Coach Bob Corba's swimmers there was also uncertainty and doubt. Two years before, a near stigma automatically accompanied membership on the Wilkes swim squad. Last year the Colonel swimmers began to change that image by engineering one of their most productive seasons in history. They ended up with their first MAC individual champion in Doug Krienke and lost only two seniors to graduation. But just two weeks before the onset of this season they didn't even have a pool in which to hold their meets and they- had to borrow a high school pool six blocks from campus and swim at night for their practices. Team morale was ebbing. scores of 179-494. Dirksen had no trouble Then the dark clouds of pre-season speculation gave way to the bright contending with the newly formed co-ed team , Gore .

Guy Bess also chipped in unheralded rising through hard work to the ranks of "heralded." (Continued on Page 7) The mermen secured a home pool and team spirits and team numbers immediately got an adrenalin-like boost. The Colonels had a quite sturdy old regime of last year's veterans but they needed more . And they got it. Freshmen Doug Mason and Barry Rasmussen surpassed their expectations as did Jeff Giberson, Brian Finn, Dave Kowalek, Bill Miller, Bernie Ford and returnee Jim Phethean. The squad is now 3-0 in the MAC and one victory in their final three meets will give them the highest winning record of any aqua team in this institution's history. With discipline and enthusiasm, Coach Bearde appears to have assembeld a phoenix on what campus prognosticators saia would be a barren shelf.

Playing· before a "Parents' Day" crowd the following Saturday, the cagettes were again defeated - this time 43-25, by the Highlanders of Misericordia.

Elaine Swisloski came up with a season's high of I? rebounds. February 14, on the home court, 1 Wilkes lost a heart-breaking contest to Luzerne Community. In a game marked by several turnovers, the Colonelettes were holding a lead going into the fourth quarter . However, a series of fouls all within the last two minutes caused a three-point difference in favor o' Luzerne at the buzzer. Scoring in double figures was Kathy Davies, who pumped in 13.

P re se ntly the 150-pound sophomore has been working on "riding" which he feels will be beneficial to him in the upcoming MAC tournament. The difference between high school and college wrestling, according to Mike , is "the strength, experience and overall maturity of the individual wrestlers." Mike doesn't feel any individual win has been exceptionally pleasing to him but states that he was really ecstatic after the Colonel grapplers defeated Hofstra, by Jim Godlewski "Would you believe I never swam in high school?"

While fooling around in the Y pool one day, Ray and Rich Marchant noticed him and asked him to try out for the team . He did and later ended the year by lettering.

The mee ting will take place at 11 a.m. with the purpose of answering any questions con cerning the RO TC program and the Ai r Force . Advanced information concerning the program explains that both male and female students are eligible. Freshmen may join the fou r year program by taking both freshmen and sophomore ROTC during the sophomore year. Sophomores, juniors and seniors may join the two-year program if two full academic years can be guaranteed by the applicant (graduate schoo l fills this requirement). One-D deferments are offered to all who desire them as long as they are enrolled in the ROTC and scholarships are available on a competitive basis. Scholarships pay, tax free, full tuition, $75 book allowance (annually) , ' $ I 00 monthly subsistence allowance and other fees . All students enrolled in the last two years of the ROTC receive $1 00 per month (12 months per year) subsistence allowance which is tax free income. TUESDAY While on active duty with the United States Air Force, the following fig ures are quoted with regard to normal career progression: Added to the above salary figures is the retirement equity of about eight tho usand dollars per yea r if one plans a 20 year career. Retirement after 30 years of service would entail $ 16,225 pe r yea r for the rest of one's life . These figures will be in constan t dollars because retirement pay is tied to the Consume r Price Index. Some other benefits (figures in pare ntheses indicate an estimate of value) are free medical care while on active duty ($500), free medical care when retired ($5 00 plus on a space available basis) , free dental care (depends on tee th) , free medical care for depend ents while on active duty (included above), free dental care for dependen ts on a space available basis, 30 days paid vacation annually, office rs club s, golf courses, swimming and tennis facilit ie s ($500), commissary and base exchange privileges ($600), educational o pportunities (off-duty tuition assistance and in service) , VA and FHA housing loans, special services ac tivities, legal assistance , low cost life insurance ($15 ,000), tax ad vantage ($600) an d travel both officially and on a space available basis anywhere in the world .

The second reason was announced as being their "patriotic duty." Forests Poisoned The long-term effects and dangers of these chemicals do not seem to be considered. The jungles, which are very diverse eco systems , and mangroves, which are a tree family, are the most widely sprayed areas. Martinez noted that repeated spraying causes nutrient dumping and depletion of the soil , plus invasion of bamboo and othe r grasses. The herbicides kill the mangrove trees, there is no regeneration, even in five or six years. Most of the other trees when sprayed lost their leaves and they remain bare . There is af proximately 10 per cent refoliation , the rest die . Up to 80 per cent of the jungle trees are completely destroyed. and this loss of timber is a great detriment to the economy. Sixty per cent of Vietnam used to be forest. The Department of Defense estimates that 20 per cent of these forests have been wiped out. This figure only includes areas that they have intended to bomb or defoliate. It does not include the damage from drifting of spray , run-off, leaking or agent blue. In that light, it is somewhat of a conservative estimate.

We at no time intended that our viewpoint be a personal attack on Howie Tune and we regret that the Beacon's headline, "President Comes Under Fire," inferred this. Indeed, Howie Tune is not 21 people, therefore his organization should become more active as S.G. representatives. · Joel Fischman h AuerbBalcasted To the editor: In last week-'s Beacon, Lee Auerbach launched a blatant attack on Ross Piazza, Joel Fischman and myself questioning the authentic_ity of statements made by Us relatmg to the activities of Student Government in the past semeS ter. I would like to take this opportunity to answer the asinine queS t ions he addressed to me. Mr. Auerbach accused me of making deliberate and erroneous statements in rega rd to the following statements. Let's examine the facts. In the Beacon on February 17 I did state that not a single pi;ce of major legislation w~s passed by Student Government m the first semester. Mr. Auerbach refutes my statement, citing several pieces of legislation for which he was responsible and labeled them major legislation. Acco rd ing to him, he was responsible for a revision of the Activities Fee Fu nd _ He did not revise it. A· re\lision would indeed be a piece of, major legislation, an amendment is•not for several reasons. As one of th e original authors of the Activitifs Fee Fund, I see no major changes 10 , the policy statements ·of th e original proposal. In addition,.... Student Government President Howie Tune and I were the authors of the first amendment to th e Activities Fee last year and f personally feel that such an amendment could not be considered a major piece of legislation. Next Auerbach attempts to establish his voting reform proposal as a major piece of legislation. f must seriously question his judgment on this score. Last year a voting procedure proposal was presented by Al Pellegrini which as it stands now is still in effect. In a few words, Mr. Auerbach's proposal is not currently being used. therefore, it appears as though you have made a false statement in claiming the voting procedure proposal as a piece of your own legislation. Finally this Auerbach-Jadelis proposal to revamp the College's grading system has run into considerable difficulty. Indeed, the proposal which is divided into two sections saw section one tabled and section two defeated at last week's Student Government meeting.

After all, he is fro m a different sport.. At the bottom of the top ten is Math Club led by Kim Buckland. 11 Coward, I don't know how these boys do it, but they sure make the points add up and usually in their favor. Well, Stellar, that about wraps it up for this week except for my prediction that Moc Maulers will again be the Champs of the IBL. 'Til next week, Coward. 'Til then, Stellar, and so-long, Dandy Don , wherever you are. To Th e Ed i tor To the editor: Intramural basketball is probably orte of Wilkes College's finest programs. It brings out the spirit of competition and the desire to win . This is the fun of the game. Unfortunately, last Thursday night the spirit and the fun of the game were ruined by the immaturity of only two players. Also, unfortunately, they are members of the Wilkes College faculty . As a team the faculty is one of the best in the IBL. It was a very physical game , and both teams played to their limit. In the second period , while pulling down a rebound, I accidentally hit teacher " A" (as I'll call him) in the head with my elbow. Before I even had a chance to apologize I found myself being pushed and threatened by a clenched fist. I could only laugh at his temper. Suddenly teacher B said that if I didn't wipe the smile off my face he would break me in half. These are supposed to be responsible members of the faculty and I always believed that they were suppo'sed to set an example to the students, both in and out of the classroom. The example they set for me in that game reminded me only of an ill-tempered fourteen-year-old. In all fairness to the faculty the majority of their team fine men and enjoy playing basketball against the students. A certain doctor in the histroy department even came up to me after the game and apologized for the actions of his other two teammates. I did not write this letter for sympathy. The Faculty deserved to win the game , and on the whole are a fine group of men. However, the immaturity displayed by these two players proved only to give the faculty as well as the IBL an undesrved black eye. I only hope that ' they will be able to learn the gift of restraint . from their teammates.

Since the beginning of the season, the Wilkes Wo men Junior Varsity Basketball team has progressed to an unbelievable level of skill.

Each having the desire to learn and to perfeq the skills that they have been taught . , Having suffered one heartbreaking loss to Luzerne and two to College Misericordia, the Cagettes rallied back to score two decisive victories over Albright College and Susquehanna University. Leading the scoring for he Colonelettes in the past five games is Denise Chapura with 40 points, followed by Bonnie Cole 32; Donna Doncses , 27; Debbie Flitcraft and Debbie Wysocki with 14 and 11 points respectively. Defensively Bonnie Cole and Debbie Wysocki led in he rebounding department. Commenting on the games, Coach Bloomberg stated that co-captain, Denise Chapura played an excellent all-round game against Susquehanna U. While in other • contests, Debbie Flitcraft performed well against Albright and Donna Doncses displayed outstanding ability against the "Highlanders" of Miser co rdia . Additional support offered by Joan Shepard , Molly Moran , Linda Holonia , Angela Centrella, Ilene Gelb , and Jane Molinini enables Miss Bloomberg to substitute when needed . With three contests remaining, the women hope to conclude their season with a 5-3 record. By all indications this will become a reality due to the spirit and willingness to win .
