March 9, 1972 INTER-COMMUTER COUNCIL , FORMED Proposed Revision Slated In .Allocation Of Club Funds -ICC To Work Closely With Both IDC And SG A representative body for commuting students was formally approved by the Wilkes College Student Government recently. The purpose of the body , designated as the Inter-Commuter Council, is to provide an outlet where discussions relating to day student concerns may be communicated through the Plans are underway to provide for a change in the membership of the Activities fee fund Committee.

Close affiliation meeting of March I, IDC President representative to serve on the Activities Fee Fund Committee for all college clubs. This representative would have a say in how money is allocated to the clubs. Under the plan, club officers would be elected in March for the following academic year . To enable the clubs to provide a candidate for Activities Fee Fund Committee membership, each club would have to amend its constitution accordingly. A letter would be sent out to each of the new club presidents during March to determine who among the officers wanted to run for the position on this committee. Three weeks after the change of officers, the clubs and Constitution Committee would meet, and each candidate would present a plan for club-related appropriations. The Clubs and Constitution Committee would then elect the represe ntative to the Activities Fee Fund Committee out of these candidates. As with membership to Student Government, candidates for the Activities Fee Fund Committee position would have to meet set requirements. The specific qualifications have not yet been determined, according to Mr . !3ielecki.

A while ago a good friend of mine went through an experien ce I thought might be interesting to share. words. rn try to tell it by using her own "When Karen told me she was pregnant, there didn't seem to be much she was going to New York for an abortion and she wanted me to go with her. "I don't want you to get the idea that it was a hack shop . We went to a clinic, a fully accredited place with docto rs and nurses and social workers. "We arrived pretty early in the morning, but the place was already full of people. As I looked around, I noticed that most of them were young girls who sat with their boyfriends, husbands, lovers, mothers or friend s. "l was glad that Karen didn't have to sit in the waiting room with me. She went upstairs for tests, because they had to determine exactly how d k h ., pregnant she was . If you're lucky, you're un er eight wee s - t en 1t s only 150 dollars . From there the price goes up. Karen just made it. I guess you could say she was lucky. "There was no pli ce in -the waiting room for private thoughts . Everyone seemed to fee_I a need to talk about it ... to say whether this was their first time here, or their second or third . "A girl from South Carolina sa't next to me. She turned to me and said , 'l can't remember what he looked like. I never knew his last name. I don't even remember what it felt like .

"Finally Karen came and we left. I held her as we crossed the street , and when we got to the other side, she sto pped and looked back . But I couldn't because I knew if I did, it would still be there." �Page 3 THE BEACON March 9, 1972 Klaus Bolm On Scene As A Real Pro by Pat Moran A professional amidst amateurs paints a clear picture of a man who has devoted his entire life to the theater. The man is Klaus Holm - technical expert , scenic designer, lighting director, advisor, manager , teacher and lecturer at Wilkes College. These credits accurately describe the professional Klaus Holm, a native of Germany , who has lived and worked with the theater all of his life from technical director of the Phoenix Theater in New York City , Broadway shows, designer of several operas fo r the Opera Association, jobs at Lincoln Center in New York and finally to the Wilkes College campus where he brings with him that all-important "professional touch." An intervi~w with Holm was all that was necessary to show, in addition to his professional side, he is also a real person whose life revolved around the theater. Holm described the theater in just one sentence - "The theater is my life." He explained that even though it at times becomes a "drudge," the excitement returns as soon as he sees all of the bits and pieces come together at the right time and at the right place - on stage opeIJing night! Klaus Holm is not an easy man to get to talk about his work even though he obviously loves and respects it because he grew up in it. One gains the impression that he fears an interviewer will, out of ignorance or lack of respect, fail to get the true , deep-down feeling of the theater. And for that reason he's shy to the point of being misunderstood as being uncooperative or just short of arrogant about being interviewed. It is only when he warms up to the interviewer and his favorite topic that the real Klaus Holm emerges as a warm, dedicated human being who was just as natural for show business as it was for him. Mother Famous Dancer From early childhood Klaus Holm lived and breathed in close association with those who performed for others. His mother is Hanya Holm, who will be re membered by many as the famous dance r-choreographer. She started her career in Germany in the early I 920s where she gained wide acclaim as a performer and instructor before coming to the United States in the 1930s. Her son grew into manhood as she conducted a dance studio in New York City. From 1937 to 1939, Mrs. Holm traveled throughout this country on a concert tour and in 1941 began to teach dancing at Colorado College. While Holm was in the U.S. Naval Air Corps during World War II, his mother's fame and name were spreading so that she was eventually to gain world-wide acclaim for her choreography of such outstanding productions as "Ballet Ballads," "Kiss Me Kate" (New York and London) , "Out of This World ," "My Fair Lady" (New York and London) and "Camelot." She is now semi-retired but teaches every summer at Colorado College. Concerning the adjustment that was involved in his move from the ultra-professional theater of New .york to Wilkes College, Holm explained, "The theater is as professional as you make it." He said that because it operates under entirely different rules, the college theater can never be truly professional but he does apply professional standards in his work (Continued on Page 12) DINNER DANCE SCH-EDULED Klaus Holm Sophoinore Report: Class Activities After promoting a host of activities for the 1971-1972 year, the Sophomore Class is in the process of winding up its activities for the year with its biggest project yet: the annual Sophomore-Freshman Dinner Dance. This semi-formal affair will be held Saturday, March 18, in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling, featuring a deluxe buffet and an open bar - Music will be provided by Ted Bird during dinner and Moses will play from 9 p.m. to 12: 30 a.m . Party favors have been o~dered for the occasion. Tickets are on sale at the bookstore at $5 per couple. The Sophomore Class started off the fall semester with a fund-raising T-shirt sale in conjunction with Letter_women under the direction of Kathy Davis and Carole Lowande. The proceeds from this activity went toward the p1anning of a class outing which had to be cancelled dte to inclement weather. The freshman and sophomore classes of Wilkes College will hold their annual dinner-dance on Saturday, March 18 , from 7 Plans were made to sp :.msor a p.m. to 12:30 a.m. in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling .

Both projects were successful and the executive council planned another movie, Daddy's Gone A Hunting, under the direction of Donna Donceses and another coffee house under the direction of Ricky McGuire . The snow sculpture contest had to be cancelled due to lack of snow. Another movie Cool Hand Luke, has been pl;nned for April 15 and the class will attempt to sponsor another outing with the freshman class on April 23. On Cherry Blossom Weekend, which is May 6-7, the Sophomore Class will undertake a fund-raising project selling balloons and by opening . a food concession on the dike at the .Cherry Blossom Carnival. DROPPING COURSES ,(From Page 2) Students have the right to fail as well as to pass. The college should allow them to make a mistake. But Dean Ralston emphasized that a course should be dropped only under strict advisement. Perhaps SG President Howie Tune spotted one big hang-up in the whole dilemma . Is the college supposed to be a microcosm of the world? If it isn't, then there's no reason why anyone should be concerned by what would happen if a student were confronted with a similar situation "out there." Perhaps the college should put its emphasis on only what is best for "in here." All students receiving a National Defense Student Loan for the Spring semester, 1972 are required to sign for these funds at the Finance Office, Parrish Hall. These funds may not be credited to your student account until you have signed for them. Please make an earnest attempt to appear at the Finance Office as soon as possible between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 3;30 p.m. for this purpose. Funds have been received from the Pennsylvania Higher Education , Assistance Agency in payment of Pennsylvania State Scholarships for the Spring semester, and have been deposited to the student accounts.

Thi s coun c il is CQmposed of three stude nts, two fa c ulty m e m b ers and two administration members. With the Court Clerk (who is also a student) , they replace the Coun cil of Deans in enforcing the Regulations fo r Student Conduct as stated in the Student Handbook. Thus , this loudly-heralded , but now little-publicized body , has supposedly done its part for the students . It has in essence become a first-class disciplinary board. Granted , it has handed out "discipline ," so in one sense it could be called effective, if that is JUDICIAL COUNCI L UNDER ATTACK . - wha t one wants in a Judicial Coun cil. However , fro m my point of view as a student member of the council, it is, a t best, a disappointment. Before go ing furth er, let me say that my disappoin tment does no t stem from the people involved with the Judicial Coun cil. Rather , it stems from the limit ed scope of the Council. 1 would like to see our present disciplinary board turn into a real Judicial Council, rather than remaining a functional part of the college's moral police. It is my belief that this council was not set up to be an instrument by which the college solely hands ou t punishment for breaking the "guidelines" on student conduct. The guidelines are, in effect, a code of morals that the college hopes the ' st udent s will fo llow. If a student doesn't abide by the code, the n he is disciplined . Outmoded Regulations That is hardly a pl us for the student body , and it hardly ma b s the Judicial Co un cil one either. The guidelines und er which the coun cil now operates are outmoded and made the coun cil into a backward and outdated disciplinary board . Gran,ted , the Judicial Council should act as a disciplinary board if any damage occurs to the college, to personal property or to any people within the college community. It should also be able to determine whether or not to act as a disciplinary board if students are involved in problems with law enforcement bodies. But , does the college need to operate under the se outmoded regulation s fo r student con du ct? l do n't think so. The entire body of regulations should be repla ced by one simple stateme nt: " Students are e xpec t ed to resp ect th e rights a nd properties o f othe rs . Any action to the contrary may precipitate ac tion on the part of th e college. Also , any involvement with the law enforcement bodies which indicates possible detrimental effects to the college may be cause for action ." This vague statement guards the college's interests and still allows leeway for students. As an example, drinking is currently prohibited in the dormitories. It still goes on, but there is always the possibility that State Construction Spending Cu,t; New Academic Revisions Meet With Little Success " However. I am ho peful of ge tti ng approval for most , but no t all , of the th rea tened proj ect s, which are all those which have been app o ved but not yet begun or co nt racted fo r."

A t the advice of his lawyer, Jackson pleaded guilty and was given a one-y ear-to-life sentence. A lthough the aJJerage time served for a robbery is two-and-a-half years, Jackson was k illed in his I Ith year of imprisonment. In the courtroom, JJarious tactics have been used to prolong the trial. A motion to have the case moved to San Diego, one of the mosl reactionary counties in Califo rnia, took f ive months to defea t. Challenges of judges with histories of racial bias necessitated furth er delays. One judge was f inally dismissed because he had been heard to say , "Considering all the violence Martin Luther King caused, maybe he got what he deserved. " The use of volunteer press, were no longer allowed. For weeks, John Clutchette's lawyer had to stop visiting him because af ter each meeting, John was beaien by the guards. The defense is t rying to accomplish t he in ta ngible part of exposing the prison sys tem fo r what it is.

Sponsors of the Soledad Committee include Julian Bond , Senator Joseph Clark, Lawrence Ferlinghetti , Jane Fonda , Dick Gregory, Coretta King , William Kunstler and Benjamin Spock. (Continued on Page 12) Exchanging Views Education System May Suffer College and university administrators are divided over the meaning of Governor Shapp's recent hint that he would try to prevent the building of previously authorized high e r education projects in order to control state construction spending.

Area Expansion With the change in these regulation s, the Judicial Council would be more student-o riented and consequently more effective. But this is only a start. The entire scope of the Judicial Co uncil should be expanded to other areas. The Judicial Council should be a body capable of striking down or upholding rules of the Administration a~d of student government. This is a broad, vague statement which, in essence, seems to allow students to contradict any by Gary Homing To reflect upon the "college radicals" of both the past and present is admittedly of little interest here at Wilkes . The tone of college life across the country has become more subtle since Kent State and merits some insight as to why more and more colleges and universities throughout the country have hit the books instead of the system . Of even more importance though , is the rebirth of an aggressive revolutionary movement . In an excerpt from the Washington report : The Revolutionary Union : America's "Red Guard," Dr. William Lambie reviews a revolutionary party that might very weU pose a threat to the American System. The Revolutionary Union emerged into public view in 1969 when a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter described it in the following term s. "A forerunner to a proposed revolutionary party, the Revolutionary Union membership is comprised of as-elect group of Marxist-Maoist leaders from within the underground Red Guard, the Students for a Democratfr Society, the Resistance , the Progressive Labor Party and similar communist-dominated groups." It is indeed interesting to note that rather than dying a slow death , the revolutionary parties in the United States have become more sophisticated, dedicated and _deadly. Further insight into the group leads to information surrounding its means of attaining power : Though we at Wilkes College are seemingly sheltered from this complete disregard for the rights and desires of others, it does not mean . such will -be the case when we, as- college graduafes, ascend from Wyoming Valley and are suddenly confronted with the realities of the outside world. My question is, how do we counter the efforts of groups like the RU if they grow strong enough to present a threat to American Society? The question has been asked time and again by many concerned groups, the most noteworthy being a special congressional committee oµ internal security• Two former members of the RU revealed that they wei·~ trained in the use of firearms arid explosives, relying on both communi~t and U.S. Army training manuals. They also said that the RU was the prime mover last year behind a violent demonstration when President Nixon appeared in San Jose. A motorcade carrying Nixon was stoned during the incident. · • · These facts magnify the threat such groups now present to society . The Weathermen fo r instance claim responsibility for the recent bombings in the United States Capitol. The follow ing excer pt from Dr. Lambie's article makes som e worthwhile observation s of revolutionary groups in general. Just as society need not ·- in fact, can not - tolerate the violent act of the revolutionary, neither can it tolerate the claim that the "conscience" of the individual is higher than the law, for whatever reason . This is bu t a sophist's definition of anarchy . Neither can society tolerate such action as that of Dr. Robert D. Cross, president of Swarthmore CoUege who threatened college employees with disciplinary action if they cooperated with the FBI in solving the burglary of the FBI'~ Media, Pa. , resident agency . This is no more than the code of the underworld. Our society will survive in spite of its weaknesses and deficiencies from which it suffers from time to time. We know that most of us are dedicated to their correction. This is in the very essence of our political syStem . What threatens our society is the revolutionary exploitation of these weaknesses and deficiencies through the violent methodology of the criminal ideologue. Pe rhaps Stanford's President Lyman , faced with furth er dest ruction of campus buildings and scholarly work , has - and perhap s Swarthmore's President Cross should - take a leaf from the book of the Warden of England's Wadham College , Oxford. As printed by the Wall Street Journal, the Warden wrote a Jetter on behalf of college Fellows to a group of students who had presented a list of "non-negotiable demands ." It said: "Dear Gentlemen: We note your threat to take what y ou call 'direct (Continued on Page 12) �THE BEACON March 9, 1972 Page 5 WILKES PLAYS RO LE BIBLICAL· PRODUCTION Three well-known personalities within Wilkes College will be taking leading roles in th forthcoming presentation at First Presbyterian Church of the 14th century Chester miracle play on "Nove's Fludde."

Those who have really gotten to know Harry will agree that he's an all-around guy, fun to be with , easy to talk to , and most of all he 's reliable. One of the surprising things about Harry is the fact that you neve r quite know where you'll run into him, or exactly what is going to happen next. The first time I ever met Harry was at a Junior Class sponsored Christmas Party for Underprivileged children in the Commons. We literally ran into one another as we were attempting to get the children settled. The fact struck me at that time that he really does care about people , children and life in general. We had an interesting conversation that afternoon, when the children would allow us a free minute , but I was able to learn a great deal more just through observation. He didn't have to say that he was interested in people,his actions proved it. He didn 'thave to say that he loved life, It showed in his personality. I didn't have to be told he was involved with Wilkes events; later actions proved it. Within a short time I discovered that I wasn't the only one who had that impression of Harry. The student body had proved its confidence in him by electing him Student Government Treasurer, and his activities on the Student Government in general showed a deep concern and a desire to improve campus organizations. At a recent Student Government meeting, Harry was able to sound off about the general lack of student involvement. I could sympathize with him, as the lack of concern is apparent at all levels throughout the campus. He has a lot of innovations, and the desire to see them carried through. The only problem is the usual lack of support from students. They have a way of demonstrating some interest at the very beginning. This interest soon begins to fade, and fade until it reaches oblivion. But even this lack of support hasn't dampened Harry's spirits in any way. His sense of humor has helped many a crisis situation and his way of understanding has also added to the overall picture. The Commons, or more often the library are familar hide-outs for Harry , as friend and foe alike soon learn. Wednesday evenings are usually occupied with Student Government meetings, and now Harry enters the realm of Student teaching. I sincerely hope that Harry's future students don't give him as hard a time as he managed to give members of his education class who were tested as teachers in simulated classroom situations. It wasn't quite fair, but everyone took Harry's classroom antics in the proper spirit - until the time came for Harry to be put into the spotlight. Then he got a lot of his own medicine. Lots of luck Harry! WCLH-Wilkes College Radio-90. 7 On The FM Dial-Schedule For March TIME 6 :00 6:15 Mon. Tue. Wed. Thu.

The editorial staff of the Beacon would like to take this opportunity to put certain members of the Wilkes College family in the spotlight for the excellent job they have been doing throughout the year in a joint effort to make Wilkes a_truly dynamic college. Throughout the year complaints have been voiced on campus, concerning issues such as visitation, the library and a student union center. A majority of students can sit back after they have voiced their opinion and then wait for the necessary action to be taken. They see the results, often oblivious of the time and effort required on the part of students, faculty and Administration . • Wilkes College President Francis J.

Oh, sure they do some crazy things]ike swallow goldfish , wear those shaggy raccoon coats , scream at fo otball games and stuff themselves into phone boo ths. But for the most part , college students are good natured, hard-working and fun-loving." That may h ave been an accurate description of the college students o f 50 years ago when things were the Cat's Meow rathe r than Right On, but tl}e riew image of the unive rsity student has him doing somewhat different'things than in the days of the Varsity Drag. '(oday the student does other "crazy " things. He swallows hallucinogenic drugs rather than goldfish, wears hippie clothes, screams at demonstrations, and stuffs himself into an occasional university administrator's office. Today's American college students are in dire need of a good public relations firm . It's in the eyes of - those allegedly Concerned Citizens that the student image is a tainted one , mutilated by magazine covers screaming out about the Student Revolution ( exploiting covers that often are more revolting than the Revolts themselves) and even more distorted by one-sided television coverage that shows only the student revolution , but never the evolution. The medium is the mess. Newspapers , radio and, especially, television have given the peo ple of America an even more distorted picture of what the Ty-pica! Today Student is like. The emerging sterotype is the raggedy-coifed revoluntio nary-radical , endlessly partaking in various .school-spirited activities - bombing , seizures , strikes, pillage , and a little arson on the side. In his spare time , he downs dope, sleeps promiscuously in coed dorms, dresses outlandishly and that's that. The media displays (and displays and displays and instant replays) only his demonstration behavior, which might very well be out of context. He might be a medical student with honor grades who loves mother, dates a Sensible girl, attends church, has a good part-time job, loves apple pie , and in all other ways fulfills the All-American dreams. But the 6 o'clock news never shows that part of him. People are frightened by the student movement scared and acrii:nonious. The values they've held sacred, the goals they've strived toward suddenly are being threatened - by their own children . The result is panic. In a nation - wide poll taken last spring, the campus unrest problem ranked number one - even over war, ecology , racial strife, poverty and crime. Spring is the season in which they take place . Spring - when e very young student's fa ncy turns to revolution, when a fresh hot anger of the U . S. po pulace sitting by their TVs coun ting the RPMs. And they aren 't exactly sitting there watching nothing. Last year 1,785 demo nstratio ns took place on college campuses, including 3 13 building seizures and sit-ins, 28 1 anti-ROTC demonst rations, 246 arsons and 7,200 student arrests , resulting in more than $9.5 million in damage . Television brought all the damage, fire , seizures, sit-ins right into our living rooms , in living red , white , black and blue color. The Student Radical could have been the title of a highly successful , action-packed , situation TV show aired in lieu of the news every evening. The new student portrait is detrimental to the student himself - making all students appear alike , depersonalizing them, castrating individuality and sprouting new prejudices in a world already too full of biases. Yet the new student image can not be as bad as college trustees and university regents might fear. A sit-in is more socially provocative and meaningfully profound than swallowing a goldfish. Discontented students sit in and take over because they are concerned with values that affect the total society, not just themselves. It's the cause which is so improtant. But television shows only the superficial outcome of the student fight for that cause - the rioting , the sea of straggly students, the hurled rocks, the four-letter words . The bloody , fighting , hell-raising revolutionary student image could be - if not changed , at least altered - if the media could make the public aware of the issues behind the fight. _Struggles for ecology , an end to racism , equal rights , community control and the finish o f an unjust war are not difficult issues for the public to relate to . However , they get lost in the color and dramatics of the televised college demonstrations , which always come out looking like television Fellini orgy rather than a concerned· and optimistic fight for a better American future. College students wouldn't really need a PR outfit to help change their image if people could grasp the importance of the cause behind the fight. The Middle American couple sitting in front of their new color TV no longer can afford to angrily turn off the 6 o'clock news of student protest and switch the channels to a war movie or an Old John Wayne film.

Well, they just had a little too much material - and that's no fabrication. The Quaker City quintet's 89-72 vanquishing of Coach Rodger Bearde's Colonels in the first round of the Northern Division MAC playoffs came as a surprise to no one. Five men tallied in double figures for the 19-6 Textile Club (top seeded in the tournament)" including Bill Banks with 26 and Ed Swift with 18. What came though as a surprise, the mystique of which had not worn off from nearly a week before, was the fact that Wilkes had battled their way to a tournament berth, and more surprising yet, did quite well in their playoff debut, and against the tournament's supposed best. The Colonels mustered three double-figure efforts in the persons of Dave Kurosky's ro (an impressive close to an illustrious career), Greg O'Brien's 15, and Greg Buzinski's 18 and at one point led the Philly five 12-7. Then Textile began a furious weave and by intermission had produced a comfortable 48-37 hiatus in the score. The battle for field goals was tight with Textile nipping the Colonels 32-30, but it was the Philadelphia's "foul line phcnomenals" who changed the game's complexion as they connected on 25 of 27 while the Blue and Gold were 12 of 15.

The sage was right in the respect that without Clarence "Clance" Ozgo to fire the outlet pass from the defensive boards on the fast break , the Colonel cager offense isn't always quite its spirited self. A 6-4 freshman forward, Ozgo is the team's second leading rebounder, right behind stalwart Dave Kurosky, and is now averaging 12 points a game on the season after having seep only limited duty in the early part of the campaign. A native of Plains, Clarence attended Coughlin High School where he participated in football and track and averaged 17 points a game in basketball. He was also a member of the National Honor Society and , as a senior, was named to the All-Scholastic second team. Clancy's greatest sports' moment came last year when he was selected to play on the East squad in the four-team Wyoming Valley All-Star Tournament. His team copped first-place laurels in the tourney. Because he felt that Wilkes afforded him more opportunities, he selected Wilkes over Bloomsburg It was a bouncy up and down season for the Colonel cagers who concluded their season at 12-12.

The week-long campaign will take the team to the Greensboro, North Carolina vicinity where they will have an opportunity to train in the warmer climate.

Her most memorable sports moment came in one of those chami;,ionships when her team was leading by one point with one second to go and the girl whom she was covering launched a 50 foot desperation shot that found the net and cost Kathy's team a fourth championship. Kathy is an extremely involved individual who gets bored doing nothing. Her Wilkes activities besides sports, include Executive Council member for her freshman and sophomore years, vice-president of the so phomore class, Letterwomen 's Club, Beacon writer and Cherry Blosst> m Committee. During summers she has worked as a camp co unselor, has helped underprivileged children and has been involved in Pw ject Head Start. Among her rather amazing hobbies , Kathy lists huskie breeding, and collecting and refinishing antiques. A social science and urban affairs major, Kathy's future plans are to enter into the radio a nd TV divisions of the field of public relations. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Davies and has three brothers (Cliff, Joe, and Jim) and a sister, Judy.

Concerning his designing techniques, Holm explained that when he begins a se t he first reads and studies the script to see exactly what the playwright inten ded and then he discusses the enti re play with the director. He described the scenery as the character of the show with its main purpose being to act as a guide or supplement to help the audience adjust to the locale of the play and to what is actually taking place on stage. True Professional A true professional like Klaus Holm quickly makes it clear that his thoughts are in IO di fferent places at the same time.

To anyo ne sitting in the " house" or audience section of the theate r talking to this "professional" it becomes evident that he is also a human being working with these students and sharing every bit of knowledge and experience that he possesses to make this show and every one in the future the best possible.

Bernard Vinovrski �Page 2 THE BEACON March 16, 1972 IRA SEEN AS LINK .TO COMMUNITY An often overlooked but integral part of Wilkes College's commitmen t to the community as a whole is found in the Institute of Regional Affairs. Founded in 1951 under the direction of the late Dr. Hugo V. Mailey as the Institute of Municipal Government , its formation had as its fundamental purpose to guarantee the self-autonomous structure of American local government, so long as it had the capacity to solve its own problems. "The commitment by the College in community affairs was duly recognized in 1960 when the Ford Foundation funded the Institute of Municipal Government , the Area Research Center and the Labor-Management Citizens Office. "In 1966 the Institute of Regional Affairs replaced the Institute of Municipal Government as a multiple-purpose College organization which views regional problems as belonging to no simple acade jtlic discipline, but rather as a contemporary phenomenon spilling into many disciplines." Now headed by Mr. Andrew Shaw, the IRA has indeed turned to areas outside of the political field in an effort to improve the community at large. Sponsoring several seminars and '~hort courses," the Institute has turned to such remote disciplines as improving area fire departments, helping clean · up the Susquehanna and offering a course in death and berievement for local doctors and funeral personnel. The IRA , however , still plays a vital role in trying to improve city politics in Wilkes-Barre. Although not participating ·in any way , shape or manner in the selection of the new city manager here , the IRA has been called upon to present a totally objective evaluation of current candidates for the City Council. This was done and resulted in what was originally intended to be a confidential evaluation evolving in to a public one through the news media. In becoming a more well balan ced in stitute , the IRA has now_ turned to various departments within Wilke s College to aid in its Government Seminars Sponsored By IRA 1r i task of community involvement.

The IRA hasn't done too badly in its own- improvement as the Institute has abandoned it s previous home on the fifth floor of Parrish Hall for the more desolate confines of the Franklin Hall basement. Fear not, however , as the IRA staff is far from hurting. It now enjoys the . comfort of wall-to-wall carpeting, bright new paneled walls and vast office space which even the fussiest official might find inviting .

But it does help yo u to get to know him more as an individual than as a relative . I practically grew up with my nephew, Jim, ever since first grade when I could remember his mot her walking me to school, and Jim co ming along for the air. The closeness grew and along with it grew the hurt that I was to discover recently when J im flately announced that he had his own ideas of "where it was all at" - somewhere in the vicinity of the drug scene. Morals and ideals are funny things, trying to impo se your own on anyone else is not on ly u.nwan ted , but extremely unfair . But when you see someone who has every chance for success deny it willingly , it become s an en tirely differen t matter. Jim has always managed to give me a hard time, but we always got around to having long discussions where we knew tha t a confidence would be ke pt. Somehow this helped to make every thing worthwhile . Now, with a great deal o f outside influences and problem s pressu ring him , J im's personality will never quite be the same . I keep hoping but the odds seem totally against any change in attitude. Way back in grammar school, Jim had to co ncoct his own imbentions (no mispelling, Jim had quite a problem pronouncing his "V" ). He h ad no doubt at all about what he could accomplish with such devices . If they didn't WOfk the first time , new gadgets and extensions were added until it was able to complete a satisfactory function, or at least one that would inspire some degree of admiration from a younger sister or brother. Now , all -this is different , Jim really doesn't care about anything school is just another thing to put up with, and get out of at any cost. After-school activities are just one complete bore - no one with any degree of popularity would be caught dead participating in a school sponsored activity. What's the alternative - hanging around a street corner , or going to a "friend's house" to get smashed or stoned. Jim ~ana~ed to tell mt!' the whole story over seme,~ter break, with th_e added aside 'mom and dad know the whole story too. It was almost as 1f he ~ad really accomplished something great and had achieved the zenith ~l~i:~~~\ of resist the temptation to ask him if he were satisfied or even realively happy . The response was negative to both question. "I'm happy when I'm in a group, high and having a good time, but other than that things are pretty boring." I have to admit that I'm completely puzzled - is so brief a period of happiness really worth all the effort? I guess part of the problem is that while I've been able to understand Jim for such a long time now , the dra st ic change_in attitude is completely unnerving. H's not as if there weren't supervised activities available to these kids at just about any time they could want them . The problem lies in the fact that these activities are simply labeled as too corney for group participation, and are doomed to failure from the start. Jim related -numerous stories involving decisions he himself had to make concerning the drug scene, decisions I had supposed would take a great deal of careful consideration -· until I learned later that most of these decisions had been predetermined by the older group. Somehow it just doesn't seem fair that others should impose their ideas on lower groups . Ir might be argued in the reverse , that those who are completely straight are trying to influence these same groups in the opposite direction. One thing I've learned through working as a student teacher with this same age group isthat in mo.st cases they're really sharp- falsity will really stand out in their minds and the facts are what really impress them. Part of the problem tiere is that 11ntil they have definite , con crete fac t that will prove to them '"that drugs, or anything else such as smoking is harmful , in what way , and to what degree it will harm them , these kids will not accept the theory. One of the things that bothers me most right now is that there is no i solu tion to the problems as it stands , except as it rests in the individual. Agencies have been formulated to "educate" the masses on the seriousness of the drug situation, but the only way of reaching these individuals is to hope that they eventually find out that there's a great deal more to life than brief moments of "happiness." l guess I just have ·to wait patiently and hope that Jim can find something or someone who will take on a special meaning in h is life and help him to find out exactly where "it's all at."

Band To Conduct Car Wash The Spring Semister so cial scene commences this Saturday evening as the Freshman-Sophomore Dinner Dance takes place in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling from 7 p.m. until 12: 30 a. m . The annual affair will get underway when participants are treated to the Hotel Sterling's deluxe buffett. Furing the dinner hour local folk artist Ted Bird and Moses will entertain. The festivities will also include a cash-carry bar. The Sterling was chosen for the event for a variety of reasons - the most notewo rthy being its accessability to and from Wilkes. The Crystal Ballroom is located on the second floor of the building. From 9 p.m. on , MOSES will provide music for the dance which will follow the buffett in the same ballroom. The local entertainers have appeared at a Wilkes Student Government dance and are regarded as one of the best groups in Wyoming Valley: Local folk star Ted Bird will sing during intermittent breaks. The event is a product of General Chairman Fran Scharaldi with the assistance of Carole Lowande , Mindy Miller , Mitchell Wilf, James Kelley , Richard McGuire , Terry Roccograndi and Barbara Lucca. The semi-formal affair is open to all members of the sponsoring classes, as well as o ther members of the. Wilkes College family. Tickets may be purchased in the Bookstorelor $5. The Wilkes College Band will conduct a car wash on Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Solomon's Gulf Station , Penn Plaza Shopping Center on South Main Street, City. Purpose of the event will be to raise funds for use by the musicians in their various worthwhile contributions to the social, cultural and sports life of the college . Students , faculty and administration are urged to support this one dollar project, give their cars a much-needed cleaning after the long, dirty winter and at the same time help out the musicians. Hats Off Hats off to Mike Barski for his bravery in helping to extinguish a fire in the vestibule of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in 'Wilkes-Barre last Friday afternoon. Women Faculty Mern.bers: A . Liberated Minority? Randy Steele Instead of asking if women instructors are being discriminated on our campus , the question should be, "Is there malicious intent by the College towards women because of their sex?" The answer? Well .. .. it depends on who you listen to. · This is the cumulative response spawned by three weeks of interviews with certain members of our women faculty and a final meeting with President Francis J. Michelini. The most sensitive area of questioning naturally centered around salaries. And some of the professors interviewed felt they were getting the short end of the deal because of their sex. . "It's a very difficult situation to evaluate," said President Michelini. "I can find imbalances looking at sex, but I can find imbalances looking at other areas as well." Salaries are based on an instructor's ability and responsibilities not whether they are women or men. It seems everyone likes to think they are worth more than perhaps they really are . It's a healthy attitude. Another topic for the arena is the mJss of male-dictated policy that ripples throughout the campus. This topic washed out after it was discovered that as many as six women have served on the Board of Trustees at one time . The current number is nowhere near that and President Michelini admitted that it is hard to find competent women who'll assume the responsibility. It 's conceded that women are in a minority on the Council of Deans and are non:.existant in chairmanships but does that necessitate the label "Male-Dictatorships?" Certainly not - at ]east until it's otherwise proven. Also thrown into the discussion was the low number of female full professors here. No evidence was discovered whereby a woman was denied college aid simply because she was a member of the opposite sex. To the contrary , there are examples of female full- professors who gained their PhDs because of the college and the aid it provided. President Michelini further argued that there simply are not as many women entering the higher fields of learning as there are men . The college isn't trying to hold them down. "If they (both men and women) were sexless, where would they be? Probably they would be in the same place." The college also uses different interviewing techniques. If a woman who is applying for a position here is a mother, she will be quized as to her ability to function properly in both roles. President Michelini felt this was fair because an instructor had to be able to perform beyond a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. day . Mothers have more responsibilities with which to be concerned. Some may say it's trivial, but this is one areawhere the College is probably in error. If the mother-applicant even bothered to apply, it's proof that she feels she can handle both her home and college lives . When the Women's Liberation movement attains success, different methods used to handle the same situatio_n because of sex will be erased . This interview · in no sense denies the fad that women are being discriminated against. That would be sheer folly . But the college doesn't participate in the practice; although, it would be a convenient excuse for a few faculty members .

The revised calendar is also looked on by many as a. step forward for Wilkes, for we are now to begin a system which is much more practical and efficient. Another feather in our cap, so to speak. These changes are hopefully only the beginning of a series of improvements made by the joint efforts of the entire college community. The strain of social tension has Maybe, but it's not realty an impossible been alleviated to a great extent. But one.

But there is non-existant, as the psychology behind the much that student interest can do. actual process is difficult to explain. It's almost as if the offices of responsibility on this campus, once thought of with a great deal of respect, have been reclassified as something definitely not desirable, and even something to be avoided at all costs. There isn't much more that can be said, no one cares anyway. It has been said that the students at Wilkes care only about social areas of concern, and care very little or not at all about academic matters. We feel that this is not so, and we urge students to use their voice. Treat last week as a beginning so that the improvements wi II not stop here. The rest of your college career wi II benefit from it. P.S. If anyone should wonder in what vein this letter is intended, I remind them of an old proverb. "Good jests bite like lambs and not like lions." Library Talk · lntensifes To the editof: Wilkes Needs A Library I propose that the rest rooms at Wilkes be better lighted, for that is one of the- few places on campus where one can get some serious study done. The only interruption is an occasional flush of the toilet , which is minimal compared to the cackling in the "glorified tea room" we call a library. It really makes me sick to my stomach each time I read an article in the Beacon re ardin the noise pollution in the library. Not that the complaints are not justified , for nothing could be further from the truth, but when the hell is something going to be done about the problem. While reading Tom Howell's article of last week, I could not help but smile nauseously. I ~as confronted with a similar situation which I shall relate . My apologies to students whose whomachs are also turned by such articles, but just gulp down some "soothing pink Pepto-Bismol" and read on . Several weeks ago, a friend spent the day at Wilkes with me. He was impressed with the informal rapport between student and teach,ir. and with some instructor's willingness to go out of his way to help a student. According to him, this is rare at a large college or university. When we visited the library, his admiration changed to shock. His first question was, "Where's the juke box?" I started making excuses, saying that this was the main floor and sometimes it is a little noisy here because of the entrance, book check out, etc. ," so we headed upstairs seeking the solitude of an isolated table. Science majors controlled the third floor and it seemed they had a chemistry test that afternoon . Instead of studying, there were mass discussions. The noise was incredible; talking and laughing out loud, and that day we even heard a story about a chicken who attacks people. I was hesitant about moving to the first floor, thinking maybe a rock concert was being held there, so we ended up getting a conference room with the noise outside and the quiet in. Speaking to several Wilk~s alumni, I found that this problem is not new. They do admit, however, it must have grown worse. But how far are we going to let this problem go? We may need a bigger Commons, but we need not sacrifice the library. My friend offers the following solution, which l March 16 Class Meetings - 11 a.m. Voting for Class Officers and Student Government Representatives Parrish Snack Bar 9-1; New Men's Dorm 4-7 Con cern and Lecture Series - Kipnis Mime Theater " Opus Blue is Pink" - CPA - 8 p.m. March 17 Manuscript Film - "Long Days Journey Into Night" CPA - 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Easter Dance - Gym - 9 pm. to midnight �-------■• he says works quite well at the upstate New York campus he atte nds.

Toole slashed out against student "over-emphasis". on social life and "under-emphasis" on academics during a recent lecture at the Wilkes Co ll ege Center for the Performing Arts. Because of the degree of unity students show over their social li fe , according to a Stud ent Life Committe e survey , Dr. Tool e fe lt that students should use that sam e unity to combat the problems involving academics. "This is a four -year funhou se," re po rted Dr. Toole . Students' view s on an in crease in spcial ac tivity are a misplace d prio rity and can lead to unfavorable results . Dr. Toole further maintained that the student body has the needed power to re-align it s prioritie s but refuses to use it. He cites for example that student members who attend faculty meetings rarely reflect upon anything. The administration and faculty need ideas to improve the college , but seldom are they offered by students. It was conceded by Dr. Toole that a single student is • virtually powerless to change the quality and degree of instruction by a certain teacher. However , if students bonded together and confronted the instructor or the department head with tlieir grievances, they could make their demands heard. Students ought to strive for fairness of exams and have a say in the co urses taught and the methods of teaching. Dr. Toole next ~poke o ut against withdrawal ,f,r om courses. Withdrawals may lead a prospective employer to ccrnclude that a student is unreliable and unable to face responsibility. Also , some students simply quit a course because of fear. And perhaps they could have passed. A withdrawn course on a student's transcript doesn't explain why the student deemed it necessary to drop the course. This is a concern which should be strived for. Final immunity should be available to the student who achieves a high enough grade - but only in subjects outside his major. Dr. Toole resounded that there is a limit to laxness or permissiveness , especially if such permissiveness is detrimental to the student's well-being. Our new one-month semester break should be put to proper academic use if a student's situation demands it. Too few among the student body are so determined to learn that they will stop a class to clarify a point. Usually pupils Jet things slide for months! The key to needed change is total involvement by the students today.

Yes, fans, Coward and I will give you the results of the semi-finals and the all-important Championship Game. Faculty 56 - Dirt 51 Well , Steveroo , the Faculty got past Dirt with a third period rally to enter the finals . Down by two at the end of the first half the Faculty refused to be beaten and rallied for the victory. Yes: siree, the Faculty's balanced attack had four men in double figures; Skvarla 14, Vinovrski 13, Rome 12 and Orlowski 10. Dirt had the game's top scorer in Bill Kozicki, who finished with 16. He received help from Lavelle and Gillespie , who combined for 23 points. Moc Maulers 53 - Bearcats 38 Down 22 to 6 at the end of the first quarter the Bearcats couldn't overcome the tremendous lead piled up by the Maulers. You can say that again, Coward, that first quarter onslaught was just too much for the Bearcats to overcome, although they played the remainder of the game on even terms. Rich Combellack, Bob Yatko and Ed Kociolek hit twin figures for Moc while game honors went to Mike (Bibby) Barski, who scored 16 for the Bearcats.

Championship: Moc Maulers 59 - Faculty 50 The Moc Maulers won their second straight !BL title (as I predicted, I might add) by defeating a strong Faculty squad. Rich Combellack led the Maulers with 28 while Bernie Vinavorsky with 15 and Joel Rome with 14 led the Faculty. Yes Coward, for a change you hit one on the head. It was either team's 'ballgame in the first half but a slow third quarter put the Faculty down by 10. Joe Skvarla Jed the Faculty to a five-point first quarter lead as he hit for eight points. But Moc was not about to be held .down as Thomas and Combellack led a second quarter rally that put Moc up by two. Coward, in the third quarter it was all Combellack as he out-scored the Faculty by himself. Another factor in the Maulers' success was their ability to hold Skvarla to just two points in the second half. That's right, Stellar , and as hard as the Faculty tried, they just couldn't make a comeback in the fourth quarter. Sokoloski, Combellack and Yatko put the ball in the deep freeze and worked for only good shots in order to stave off the Faculty's efforts. Well, Coward, that about wraps it up for this week. It certainly does, Steveroo, but we'll be back next week with a report on the IBL All-Star game as well as a final wrap-up of the !BL season.

Dave captured the "Northern Division" rebounding laurels by averaging 14.5 rebounds per game to nose out Upsala's Don Marvel (14 .1), Wagner's Tom Miller (14.0) and Textile's Mark Williams ( 13.6). It was Dave's leviathan exhibition versus Scranton that vaulted him from the circuit's number three slot to the individual title. His hands seemed magnetized to leather in that contest as he ripped down a stunning 23 rebounds. Kurosky also finished twelfth in the loop in scoring with a 16.4 game average. A pair of his teammates, too, slipped into the elite dual figure category with Grig O'Brien finishing 24th in the conference in scoring with a 13. 7 average and Mark Caterson 27th with a 12.8 average. Lycoming's Rich Henninger copped top scoring honors with a 22.9 average.

The long-awaited revised visitation proposal , which includes visitation in women's dormitories, was put into effect for the first time yesterday. According to Miss Jane Lampe, Dean of Women, visitation in women's dormitories will be run in compliance with the rules and regulations of the policy. During the hours which each individual dorm decides to initiate visitation, there must be a student on duty, insuring that the sign-in sheets are being used. Failure to comply with any of the agreements surrounding visitation will result in action by the Judicial Court. The following is a copy of the proposed revision of the agreement for dormitory visitation which was passed by the Board of Trustees: Proposed Revision of the Agreement fo r Dormitory Visitation. subtitle, "Provisions of this Agreement." Submitted to : The Council of Deans, and Dr. Michelini Accepted by: I.D.C. and Student Government Submitted by : George Pagliaro , Mark Paikin, and Stephanie Pufko Date : February 13, 1972 , The provisions of this pro posal shall be: 1. The visitation policy now operating in the men's dormitories shall be extended to include the women's dormitories, but visitation hours on Sunday shall be extended to 12:00 midnight in bo th male and female dormitories. Therefore , this section of the agreement shall read: Hours of visitation shall be : Fridays - 5 p.m. til 2:00 a.m. Saturday ; Saturdays - 12 noon til 2:00 a.m. Sunday ; Sundays - 12 noon ti! 12 midnight. When the presence of a third party inconveniences a roommate , the third party shall withdraw. Additional rules and regulations governing these policies will be adopted by the I.D.C. and the Council of Deans. This agreement will be in effect during the fall and spring semesters. 2. Visitation shall be established Monday through Thursday within the hours of 6 p.m. and 12.midnight for all dormitories. These hours will operate under the same rules as weekend visitation. 3. No dormitory shall be bound to have visitation on any day, or for the full hour allotment of any day. A. The days and hours of visitation an individual dormitory shall have, within the limits established by this proposal, shall be determined by the students who reside in that particular dormitory. B. All these decisions shall require the approval of two-thirds of the individual dormitory's population. (This provision shall not be construed to mean two-thirds of those residents at a particular dorm meeting, but , rather, a clear two-thirds of the entire dormitory population by secret ballot.) C. The New Men's Dormitory shall vote as one living unit to avoid the inherent problem of varied hours within one structure.

The event marked the beginning of the spring social events which will conclude with Commencement in June. During the dinner hour local folk artist Ted Bird entertained and later, Moses, a well-known local rock group, provided the music. Among the participants in the evening's festivities were many members of the faculty and Administration as well as out-of-town guests of the students. Shown left to right are: Steve Apaliski, president of the freshman class; Kit McCarty; Gary Horning; Frances Scharaldi, general chairman of the dance; Wilkes College President and Mrs. Francis J. Michelini; Carole Lowande, president of the sophomore class; and Joseph Deddy. by Marietta Bednar An often overlooked or perhaps conveniently forgotten aspect of campus life are campus-wide campaigns. There are relatively few implicitly stated guidelines to follow and even then, there 'is no escaping the topic of ethics in each campaign. Just how far should we, as a college campus, go with our politics, our campaigns and our election coverage? This is a question that is difficult to answer, especially with the huge amount of diversity prevalent on the Wilkes College campus. , Candidates for camp.,µs offices, have a certain degree of ethics to live up to. These of necessity cannot be exactly the same as those of the campus' Joe Doe , who can fade into the background at any .given moment , and not have_ face accusation or semi-trial conditions by his peers. Student offices, by' their very nature of responsibility, demand intelligence, practical knowledge and a degree of experience. While all this may sound like a difficult or unfair order for the average college student, the candidate will soon realize that he has to face some entirely unprece_dented problems and situations. No one can tell another candidate exactly what to expect from his term in office. Each and every situation will be different. Along with the obvious requirements for offices comes a not-so-obvious, but, nevertheless, essential part of a character - a natural power for observation, reasoning and acting . This is where the ethics of campaigning come into the picture. By the very fact that a given candidate has put his name on the ballot for office, it is safe to assume that all of his actions will be open to interpretation by the student body. If a candidate has acted irresponsibly in his campaign tactics , is it not, therefore, safe to assume that he will follow much the same course of action when in office? Any student who once in office uses his powers to selfish, or unfair advantage, has left himself open to not only criticism, but has betrayed a deep trust the student body has placed in him by nature of his__election. Freedom of speech is unquestionably a right given to everyone in our nation, and the college campus is definitely no exception. What should be guarded against in campaigns on the campus is the unfair use of this "right_." No individual should have the right to use his "freedom" to destroy 'the other candidate. Eve_ry · candidate should live up to the socially established codes of sincerity, truthfulness and accuracy. If a candidate promises something in his cam~aign policies, it should also be his responsibility to live up to the~e promises and to give the student body a fair shake in every de11l. Si6gari!s%6'uld be accurate' and not stretch 'the th in any way . . Every'' one . i;if us has seen th~ campus _..yjth 'eleq/<;>n ~ig!1~ up everywhere·, hanging from dorms, the com'm6ns, trees, fliers on the lawns, signs ·pla~tered on doors, etc. In many resp_ects, it would seem that we tend to ' _go · a little overboard -in our presentation of elections to the student' body. It would be a fair assumption that the student body of Wilkes is not illiterate, we can read. The over-saturation of campaign materia:ron- the college campus sometinies proves to bring negative results, aside from the fact that they destroy or detract from the beauty of the campus;,d;_ ,,. Impa'ftialily- also enters the campaign picture in many ways. Each candida'tecshould honestly make the effort to make a distinction between the facts or actual achievements or weaknesses of his opp6nent and his opinion of his opponent's character. An individual should _-n ot make it a. practice _of,, stating, in any manner, charges which could be construed as affecting,the opponent's character or reputation. One ·o r;,the strongest arguments against any of the above suggestions for campus campaigns is the national picture, which cuts down opponents on the bis1s'"of actions and moral convictions. Maybe it is slightly naive to think that the college campuses should promote something _that our nation-has failed to do since its beginning. But perhaps it is still best to consider one final point - Who says we have to be like the rest of the nation? io I LIVING PROPOSAL ATTACKED I Student Government Representative Pete Jadelis reported at a recent Student Government meeting that the Off-Campus Living Proposal had been changed without the knowledge of the governing body. The dormitories must be relatively filled before students will be permitted to live off campus. Also, those who do wish to live off campus must be in good academic standing.

The one we are referring to is the Eugene S. Farley Social Hall, more commonly known as the Eugene Shedden Farley Library. The student body wants a place and socialize ~ all well and good, another building for that purpose, library. A college is established to meet but use not the for the distinct purpose of educating young adults. The responsibility for that education should also rest on the individuals who a.-e attending the institution of higher learning. This is one area where. Wilkes is lacking most at the present time. While we profess to be a liberal arts institution dedicated to the goals of higher learning, we refuse· to allow a suitable atmosphere in which this· learning can take place. _ · Numerous complaints have been raised about the noise level in the library, yet few will admit that the students themselves are responsible for the noise level which has . ~ gotten all out of proportion. They have created a situatioiJ:: in the library that is suitable for the exchanging of books and socializing, not much else. Granted that during the day, there are relativ~ly few places for the student pop~,~ tion to go in between classes. And the' library •: naturally assumes the role of a hang-out until the student's next class. What these same students are apparently ignoring is the fact that there are day and dorm students with .'!1ajor reports due, and even graduate students who have the right to utilize the library during the day. Each one of us, as college students, has experienced the panic of last-minute research for various reasons, and has appreciated the fact that there was some silent retreat in which to accomplish an intensiv~ and , extensive amount of work. The amount of noise in the library at any given time could very well mean the difference between a good grade and a poor presentation. No one likes to be short-changed commercially. Here, in the case of the library, we are short-changing ourselves academically. Library personnel should not have to play police and maintain a suitable atmosphere in the library. _We are at the stage in our educational growth where we should act responsibly and be our own police force, acting to keep the noise in the library down, for our own good. More Courses Suggested The college looks with pride (as well they should) to the new medical program which will begin in September. Not only will it fill a void in the medical programs of this area, but it will also put Wilkes one step higher on the ladder of growing private liberal arts colleges. No one can deny that this is a step in the right direction. What we question, however, is the lack of new innovations within the present curricu lums. All the standard traditional courses ' are there; every major is covered adequately .. But standard traditional courses have never been known to cause a great stir of intellectual activity amont students. Where are the exciting, new, perhaps even experimental courses that add so much to a student's field of study? Where are the courses that students will take for the sheer enjoyment of it? Why are most major fields so structured and rigid that even when the student has an opportunity to take several courses outside his major there are very few • courses that look appetizing enough to try? Granted, there has been talk of a few new courses for next fall, and also of a Drama major and a . Communications Arts major. Trite as the expression is, talk is cheap. If progress has been made along these lines, why not let the students know what they can look forward to within the next few years? And why not· let them know how long they will have to wait? • Or has all the talk been just that: talk? Wilkes is suppo~sedly a iiberal arts college, but there is a great emphasis on the sciences. The Hahnemann Medical Program is evidence of that, and -no .:,o ne is arguing that the sciences ·aren't important. What we do argue against is the '. seeming lack of importance placed on some of the other departments. The students have been accused of thinking only of their social concerns. But there are very few students who do not realize the importance of a strong department in their field. And at Wilkes, some .departments offer very little beyond the bare necessities. . Why not reevaluate the nature of some of the courses and try to provide courses that go beyond the standard traditional material? NOTICE Find out what it is like to be an oppressed Jew.

Stellar diver Doug Krienke became Wilkes College's firstswim All-American last week when he finished in twelfth place in the diving competition at NCAA College Division Swimming and Diving Championships. The event was held at Washington and Lee University in Lexington , Virginia, with participants from across the nation entered in the competition. At the close of the qualifying rounds, Doug , accompanied on the trip by Coach Corba , was perched in the 11th position , ahead of last c year's second and ,our th place finishers. At this point he already had · his " All-American" status achieved because the top 12 qualifiers are automatically sent into the finals and bestowed with the All-American label. Doug finished with a total of h 348. 58 points in t e one meter diving event. Cons1'denng . t h e fac1-11t1es - · h e h ad c . . D , c ,or tra1mng, oug s per,ormance must be deemed one of the most awesome accomplishments in Wilkes sport history. The diving board at the YMCA Colonel training site was broken most of the season, so Doug was forced to practice alone at the King's pool where encouragement and discipline were bound to be less. .But he managed to push himself and fulfilled his last year's prediction of becoming an All-American. Doug Krienke Doug wishes to thank his many fans and especially "Minno" (Jim Phethean) for their moral support at MAC' s and his all around backing. The top two finishers qualified for the Olympic trials, which is Doug's next objective. He intends to try to make the 1976 U.S. Olympic Team. At the rate the senior two-time MAC diving champ from Plainfield, New Jersey , has been making his predictions become reality, it may not be so impossible as it seems. SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP OFFER.

But children so withdrawn, so afraid of failure, they cannot make the slightest atten:ipt to do anything at which they might fail. · Some don't talk. Some don't listen. Most don't behave. And all of them don't learn . One day someone asked us to help. Through Kodak, cameras and film were distributed to teachers. The teachers gave the cameras to the kids and to)d them to take pictures. And then the miracle. Little boys who had never said anything, looked at the pictures and began to talk. They said "This is my house." "This is my dog." "This is where I like to hide." They began to explain, t o describe, to communicate. And once the channels of communication had been opened, they began to learn. We're helping the children of the inner-city. And we're also helping the adults. We're invdved in inner-city job programs. To train unskilled people in useful jobs. What does Kodak stand to gain from this? Well, we're showing how our products can help a teacher-and maybe creating a whole new market. And we're also cultivating young customers who will someday buy their own cameras and film . But more than that, we're cultivating alert, educated citizens. Who will someday be responsible for our society. After all, our business depends on our society. So we care what happens to it.

Jim Loftus announced that he would secure two voting machines for the upcoming election to be placed for two days, Wednesday and Thursday, April 12 and 13, in the Commons between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and in the New Men's Dorm between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Only 17 votes were cast in the Parrish Snack Bar during the last election. IDs will be used exclusively. Comments on the voting cards included "pretty ridiculous," "downright miserable" and "just isn't going to work." A rather surprising turn of events occurred when Woody Nichols, who was disgusted with the events of the SG representative and class officer election, motioned to declare the entire election invalid. Nichols offered in The SG Presidential cand idates' pl~tforms are on Page 3. support of his argument that the voting proposal had not been adhered to. The majority of the membership disagreed with his case and promptly defeated the motion eight to three with seven abstentions. Poro and John Hammond will be appearing at the Kingston Armory , Sunday , April 30. Tickets for outsiders will be $3 apiece. An additional $1175 was s~cured from the All-College Weekend Fund for chairs. The rental fee is 25 cents per chair. Mark Chamberlain of the Clean Environment Committee asked SG to ban posters and other printed material gradually and to establish a P.A. system for both dorm students and day-hops. President Tune explained that at present a Commons-Cafeteria intercom isn't possible, and Ann Schifano asked how a littering law could be enforced. However, President Tune asked for a proposal next meeting. The Surprise of the Week Award goes to Lee Auerbach who announced that there is a pool table disguised as a regular table in the bookstore. He suggested using it since so many students have been wanting one. Someone wondered how they were going to get it out! The Ralston Field Bus Petition secured a final total of 310 names. SG gave the petition a vote of confidence. �THE BEACON Page 2 April 6, 1972 Presidential Contenders The Wilkes Student Body faces a difficult decision in the near future - the election of Student Government President. This is a position which will affect the direction of the college for the next academic year and possibly for several years in the future. We gave the three candidates running for this office an opportuqity to state t~eir positions in this week's issue. Studying each platform carefulry, it still remains a difficult decision to choose a candidate to support. All three candidates come with previous experie·nce in .the student governing body. Howie Tune and Mike Barski will be seniors next year. Pete Jadelis will be a junior next year, but Howie held the same position in his junior year. , Perhaps it would be best to say that the platforms do the candidates an injustice. Past action and involvement, along with a suitable direction for the future then become the criteria for the selection of Student Government President. Judging from past experience and a potential future, it is our opinion that Mike Barski would make the best president. It is our belief that he has all the necessary qualifications, which added to past experience and knowledge, should provide the campus with a 1'nore than adequate representative for the office of Student Government President. Whatever the outcome of the election, the Beacon would like to wish the candidates the best of luck in their campaigning, and the desire that our Student Government will receive the necessary backing for a successful term next year. Concern Questioned It really says a lot for a college campus of approximately 2,600 students that we can't even find people concerned enough to run for some of the most important positions on ~m~L . . We, as a student body, gripe when there is even the slightest indication that we are not being given adequate representation. Yet, when this privilege is accorded us, we shirk the responsibility by failing to come forth with representatives. A recent Inter-Dormitory Council meeting was a prime example of _the lack of concern on the part of the student body. Two positions, that of vice-president and treasurer, remain open. Another position, that of recording secretary, remains with one nomination . There isn't even a choice. It seems that priorities in this case, and probably in several others throughout the Wilkes campus, are definitely being misplaced. Positions which were once thought of with the highest regard are now thought of as simply an added burden on a college student. Granted, the office of vice-president is not the most appealing, but it is, nevertheless, a position which has to be filled, and carries with it a degree of responsibility. The election results weren't the only indication of a lack of student concern. There has been a great deal of absenteeism evident in both the student governing bodies, Student Government and Inter-Dormitory Counci I. Instead of sitting back and complaining- when the job being done is inadequate, how about coming out and taking an active role in the shaping of our college career? Editorially TREACY AIRS KEY ISSUES To the editor, Through my observation of various legislative processes utilized here at Wilkes College throughout the last four years, I have concluded that there is a definite and preferred process by which changes can best be achieved. As has already been proven by methods utilized by student leaders, other than those seated in Student Government, it is essential to leave constantly open an avenue through which both student leaders and Administrators can effectively communicate and work together. The point to be drawn is that in ·gaining three important policies passed this year - open visitation for both women and men, the new calendar change, and the issuing of freshmen women's keys - the guidance for the successful implementation was provided by concerned student leaders, other than our current Student Government President. I feel it necessary to point out the importance for the student body to elect in their president a man who is both imaginative in his goal yet realistic enough to lead the students of Wilkes to the attainment of these goals ; someone who is able to gain the respect and trust - that does not now exist of the people in Weckesser Hall.

It is my conviction that the present situation of the Student Government is not conducive to sufficiently execute its principal function . In the past year improvements have been legislated and yet many more need to be in stituted. Apparently the failure to initiate great improvements is due to a continual lack of communication between major factions of Student Govern"ment and the Administration. This lack of communication ultimately leads to the inefficiency of the entire Student Government. The inability to command an efficient and constructive rapport with the college newspaper is also a great hinderance to the amount of influence Student Government can have on campus. What is most important is that the influential factions of the college , meaning the Administration , SG, IDC and Beacon learn to work together and successfully iron out the growing problems of Wilkes College. It is my since re pledge to bring about a greater understanding between the Stud ent Government and the other important college institutions. Priorities must be stated at the beginning of the year and followed through . If ele cted President , I propose to initiate special standing committees to work on such projects as a better grading system, the reconsideration and hopeful e"timination of some required courses, a more effective evaluation of pro(essors and teachers, an alleviation of the parking problem and plans for a sttident center. These committees would be an essential part of the next Student Government administration. Representatives would be appointed from the Student Government to act as chairmen and mediators. Active students wishing to participate in any of these committees would be recruited to work as tbe nucleus for further improvements. This is not meant to be a method for passing the buck from the Student Government to the student body itself, rather it is a suggestion to help alleviate the pressures faced by Student Government and hopefully make SG more effective. Student Government is a small nrganization and fails to meet all the desires of the student body because of its size and the addition of these standing committees, of non-members of Student Government, will lead to greater effectiveness. ' To provide better communications between stµdents and their government, and also to the aforementioned pressures of the Student Government, I would like to provide convenient, regular hours in which students may speak directly to any members of SG executive council and voice his opinion. These informal meetings during the day will provide an accessible way for commuter students to play a greater, more influential role in the Student Government which is as much theirs as it is the dorm student's. Also these meetings will hopefully furnish SG with new ideas and more importantly, if executed properly , these meetings will enable tne -weekly meetings of SG to move more smoothly because minute. details and preJ>arations can be done then, leaving time to concentrate on more important issues at the weekly meetings . · Throughout this platform letter I have stated in general terms what improvements I hope to initiate . My belief is that the President of Student Government must work with the other members and to state that I, myself, intend to do specifically this or that, is not only unrealistic but childish. In closing I would like to congratulate George Pagliaro, Mark Paikin and Stephanie Pufko on the work they have done in having the New Visitation Policy put through. I wish I could say SG played a greater role in this major improvement, buf hopefully next year credit for new important improvements for day and form students will be given to the Student Government for its efforts. BLOOD DONORS MALE and FEMALE Before attending to my qualifications and platform, I would like to thank the Beacon for allotting this space. I feel my qualifications readily disclose that I am interested in serving the students. I have been a member of the Student Government for three years. In the past year I have been instrumental in initiating and implementing the new calendar fo r next year. Furthermore, with the aid of four con cerned students , we are in the process of alleviating the parking problem of off-campus and day students by establishing a shuttle bus system. These tangible eviqences coupled with an enthusiastic and sincere interest to solving student problems indicate that I am a worthy candidate for the position. In light of all campaign pressures and committments I refuse to be blinded by the honor of running for this office and eagerly promise you the sky . On the other hand, my motives and aspirations are realistic and with proper cooperation can be far-reaching . Foremost in my mind is the revampment of our constitution. The archaic and inflexible document we presently abide by is a major source of student concern . This constitution must be modernized to keep astride with a favorable intellectual and social atmosphere. Closely behind this reform would be a more attentive eye over the Student Government budget and expenditures. My goal is to eliminate any illicit spending or profiting that comes before the Student Government. Thirdly, within the Student Government itself, I want to reestablish a stricter adherence to the guidelines of Parliamentary procedure. It 's here, loose observance to the rules , that confusion arises and paves the way to a disorganized meeting. Another priority would be instituting a system of making announcements at regular intervals in the Commons, thus keeping the day student as informed as possible. Also I want to explore the possibilities of students expanding their voices over our radio station. · A final goal would be to investigate the prospects of students picking up a course during the month we will have off at next year's semester break. I do have more ideas and programs, however, the above are the most prominent. Although it would be in keeping with politics to promote an idealistic environment to persuade your vote, I can't give a bona fide guarantee that electing me will immediately turn oilr campus into a rose garden. However, I can guarantee one thing: · one year of an administration dedicated to the resolvement of student problems. Finally, next year is critical for the students and Student Government alike . Time is a vital element. We can't wait and see what happens while events pass us by. We must use time as a tool, and with your vote I'd like to do precisely that .

Elections will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, April 12 and 13. Voting areas are the Commons and the New Men's Dorm. EFFECTIVENESS QUESTIONED CITY SHOE REPAllt IMMEDIATELY The past year, in my opinion , has been a fruitful one for Student Government. In addition to the passage of several crutial issues, there has been a noticeable change in the posture of the Administration. The student opinion report was instrumental in bringing this about. For the first time , we were able to back up our positions with cold fact. This year, Dr. Miche1ini supported our position on visitation ; the results are apparent. Many things that were elusive dreams a year ago , such as women's visitation, the commuter council, the car shuttle (soon to come into operation) and the new calendar , have been grl!flted. While I cannot claim sole credit for these things, I believe our spirit which spurred these reforms can be carried on to meet any stumbling block a student may encounter. I'm not a miracle worker; let's face it, this is a conservative school, and some . things will never change. But that doesn't mean that we ·won't try. It's never been my practice to make promises, out of fear that they might not be fulfilled. I'm not starting now. I can't give you promises, but I can give you hope. tbe 76 s.utlt M..

She will make her impact on Wyoming Valley on Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the Center for the Performing Arts .. Miss Dreifus' topic will be "Liberation Now: What Are Militant Women Fighting For?" The goals and philosophy of the women's liberation movement and some of the important issues for which they are fighting are equal job and educational opportunities, free day-care centers, free abortion on demand and a restructuring of marriage and the family. She will answer some of the questions which people are asking, such as, "Shouhf marriage be abolished?" "What will society look like if the feJJ1inists actually do win their goals?" and "What do men have to gain from women's liberation?" Born in New York City, Miss Dreifus has a bachelor of science degree from New York University. A leading and active member of Media Women, she is a prolific writer whose works on feminism and related subjects have appeared in "McCall's," "Ladies Home Journaf," "Evergreen Review," "Rolling Stone," "Nation," "Realist" and "Social Policy." . Vol. XXIV, No. 23 Her book on women's liberation and the alternate culture, " Radical Lifestyles," was released in November of 1971 by Lancer. A second book, "Consciousness Raising," is now in preparation. In addition to her contribution to the overground media, Miss Dreifus is one of the best-known "underground" journalists in America. Until last year she served as the news editor of the "East Village Other," the nation's oldest an d largest underground newspaper, where she wrote a weekly political column. In addition to her writing credits , Claudia Dreifus has also produced public affairs broadcasts for WBAI, New York's pioneering listener sponsored radio station, and as WBAI's correspondent in Northern Ireland she reported on the fighting between Catholics and Protestants in that country . As a leading member of Media Women, Miss Dreifus participates in a weekly women's liberation "consciousness raising group," which she describes as "the most humanizing and fruitful experience I've ever encountered." She was one of the leaders of a group of women who invaded the offices of the "Ladies Home Journal" early in 1970 and demanded that the "Journal" put out a magazine that presented women with material more relevant to current times. She and her colleagues in Media Women put together a special section on women's liberation which was printed in the August , 1970 edition of the "Ladies Home Journal."

A $5,860,000 dream of brick and mortar has begun to take shape on the South River Street side of the Wilkes College campus, but it will not be opened for use until a much-needed $2,860,000 is collected. The need for the New Learning Center has grown increasingly since 1968 when a December fire destroyed Conyngham Hall and forced the college to operate with below-minimum classroom space . Although special scheduling and the use of outside facilities have provided a temporary solution to the problem, the New Learning Center This first gift was then followed has remained uppermost in the by a $241,000 gift from the planning of college officials.

The Co uncil ·is made up .0f two deans , two faculty members , three students and a co urt cler ,. The only femal e member of the Council is the Dean of Women. There is no female representing the student's viewpoint. To me this lack of a • feminine view immediately biases the Co un cil. The Council is also biased by the fact that there are fo ur non-students and three students on the Council. Because it is studer t~ who are being judged , shouldn' t ti-' Council consist of a majority c, _ their peers? The ideal CouncH would be all students with a facu lty advisor. The members of the Council are chosen by the President of the college . No offense to Dr. Michelini is intended but he is over thirty , and his moral standards and values are bound to color his choices. It would be better if these people were chosen by a group of people. The dean of women, the dean of student affairs, the college president, student government pre·sident, Inter-D0rmitory Council president and the president of the still in formative stages Commuter's Council would make a more just choice than one man could. The Council should be a helph o. body instead of the strictly punit body it is. When it becor, apparent that a regulation is fot. very umeasonable by the studen this being judged by the frequen , of violations, the Council shou · tell the proper people that change is needed . The Council ' s recommendation should be considered heavily - by thr Administration. The Council should consider each case on its own merits . There should be no referring back to previous penalties enforced because circumstances from case to case may vary greatly .

I broke a rule which on this campus seems to be one of the more serious ones. A male guest was in my bedroom for several hours during the late evening of Friday, March I 7, 1972. The whole case was based on suspicion and assumptions. My male guest was not seen by anyone, including· the procto rs. · · ·Tue next afternoon, Saturday, March 18, after a series of so-called suspicious events, my proctors called me in to talk. They asked me if a male guest was upstairs the night before. Being the honest and fo rthright person that I am, I told the m yes, there had been a male kuest in my room. This is where my first lesson was learned. Honesty does not pay . Thank you Wilkes College tor that valuable lesson. It seems if I had lied I would have saved myself a lot of trouble , as there would have been no case against me. My rule breaki_ng_ was turned in to the Dean who ms1sted it be brought before the Judicial Council.

Although very vague to aiea spo rts enthusiasts, the game is rapidly gaining popularity on the national college scene with over 150 sch ools currently engaged in inte rcollegi ate stick wars. This year will mar k the third season of varsity competition for the Blue and Gold . The Colonels posted 2-3 and 3-6 efforts in their initial trJes. Head mentor Charles "~huck" Mattei is quite optimistic abou t his team's chances this annum. "Our main goal will be reaching . the 500 plateau ," he stated, "Progress has been slow but steady over the past two years. We're starting to attract the athlete with prior high school experience." Lacrosse has created a large impact in the metropolitan areas of Baltimore-Washington , No rthern New Jersey , Philadelphia, Long Island, and New England . Mattei, a Notre Dame product by way of Pittston, would like to see the game added to the local scholastic scene but is openly realistic on the whole matter . "It's going to take a large educational task. People fro m Northeastern Pennsylvania are totally unconscious of all the thrills and excitement connected with the game," he said. · The sport closely resembles hockey and soccer in the fact that the object of the game is to' maneuver the ball into the net. Basket-like raquets or "crosses" are used to advance a solid rubber ball up a field 110 yards long and 60 yards wide . Each team is composed of ten players. There is a distance of 80 yards between the respective goals with 15 yards behind each to set up a scoring play. Stick handling proficiency is the main ingredient toward mastery of the game. For those wishing to learn more about the sport, Mattei and his staff will conduct a free seminar at the college on April 29. Invitations are being sent to all high school athletic · directors in the Luzerne and Lackawanna County area. Others interested may contact Mattei at Wilkes.

Moscone and Annesi ranked one•two in the scoring column last year, accou nting fo r 16 and 13 points .respectively. In lacrosse, a player gains a point by either scoring or being credited wi th an assist.

The debut of the 1972 Colonel Basepall Team was marred as the squad dropped an 8-4 decision to Delaware Valley College at Doylestown, Pa. Old Man Winter made another appearance, hopefully his last this spring, to force the cancellation of a doubleheader last Saturday with Susquehanna University at Artillery Park. The twin bill has been rescheduled for May 2 at Wilkes . The Blue and Gold jumped off to a 4-2 lead against Delaware Valley only to fa ll victims to their own costly miscues in the later innings. Control problems plagued starter Ted Sokolowski in the third inning and Delaware Valley , capitalizing on the walks along with several errors committed by the Wilkes defense, took the lead an d maintained it throughout the contest.

Robbins, a junior from Kingston, is widely known throughout Wyoming Valley for his many appearances in .,.musical programs. Paula Cardias as Juno opened "The Masque of Hymen" by blessing all lovers and in her hauntingly beautiful voice admonished that "He be constant and she be chaste." Next a touching lament was sung by Laura (Gretchen Winfield) as Eileen Connor and Charles Robbins mimed with sensitivity the story of Jove and Jost love. King Oberon, played by Donald Mock, proclaimed, "Transform this transparent world into the universal world," and called for music. A Chinese man (Constance Oliver) and a Chinese woman (Celeste Ametrano) came forth and performed. Miss Oliver's deep alto voice, movement and make-up (credited to Harry Swepston) gave amazing authenticity to her role of the Chinese man. The opera ended on a note of harmony as Hymen (Kenneth Stone) declared, "happiness over the world." The musical knowledge and dependability of Julie Levoy and Michael Haberkorn at the piano and the stage direction of Dr. William Martin aided the members of the cast in g1vmg commendable performances throughout both operas.

Therefore, any act can be considered in the realm of sexual behavior if any sexual needs are satisfied in a person. Research in the past handled human sexual behavior as a socialproblem or as an aspect of the family. In concurring with the family aspect Martin states two prospects for research: First, he attempts to determine if sexual behavior is a cohesive force in marriage, the very thing that holds marriages together and not a disruptive force. · Secondly, he seeks to find what post-marital sexual behavior do Martin believes that primary and secondary relationships can be applied to human sexual behavior. Some characteristics for looking at human sexual behavior through primary and seconda ry relationships are communication, personality and variety of roles. Martin ends by saying if we begin to look at human sexu_al behavior through their characteristics, perhaps we will soon be able to understand the sexual behavior of others.

Red Cross, with the cooperation of Reach-Out, sponsors a blood collection drive twice a year. The purpose of such a drive is to provide a "ba nk" so that any member of the Wilkes College family who is in need of blood may draw upon the bank. In short, while at Wilkes, any student, faculty member, administrator, or maintenance staff member is entitled to all the blood he needs in an emergency or because of an illness or operation. Besides benefitting himself, the blood donor also provides a bank for his family. The family members will receive one pint of blood for every pin~ the donor has given whenever it is needed. Even after an individual leaves the college the blood he had donated is there in case he or any member of his family should need it. One other important benefit of giving blood is that the , person's blood is typed and cross-matched. Blood donating isn't the ~rst experience in the world, and it may save many lives. Give of yourself and you will literally receive more in return. Roll up your sleeve and give a pint of blood at the gym today.

Dress - Casual (School Clothes) �THE BEACON April 20, 1972 Page 3 NEWS BEING BROADCAST ON WCLH RADIO by Larry Wallison Shortly after Wilkes College Radio, WCLH-FM, began broadcasting in February, a news program was added to its schedule. "Campus News in Review" can be heard on WCLH , 90.7 on the FM dial, each Friday evening at 9 :30. As one might guess, the program is basically a review of campus events that have occurred during the week, plus interviews with personalities involved with some stories that are of interest to both college and community. Anchorman Dave Bickel told us the show .was formed in the image of network newscasts, with student journalists themselves con tributing stories on the air. Regular reporters on the program are Marietta Bednar, Gary Horning, . JoAnn Gomer and Larry Wallison. Bickel said the format revolves mostly around campus interests, such as visitation, student government elections, etc., but also includes items that affect the community at large, like the new medical studies program. At this writing, guests have included: Richard Raspen, Wilkes College Financial Aid Officer; Dean Jane Lampe; Bernard Vinavrski ~f the Evening School; Dr. Yasushi Sugiyama of the Political Science Department; Harry Bielecki and Mike Mariani; and Andrew Shaw, Director of the Institute of Regional Affairs. Reporters Bednar, Horning and Gomer are veteran Beacon staff members who make up a panel of student journalists that interviews guests on their respective areas of interest or responsibility. Though no strangers to writing, the reporters indicated that radio work has added a new dimension to their experience. JoAnn Gomer said, "Radio work shows how much you don't know. While you must work under deadlines when writing for newspapers, in radio there is the added pressure of reading your story in such a way that it gets across." Faculty advisor to "Campus News in Review," Public Relations Director Thomas J. Moran, added that this experience is most valuable to all participants , whether they plan to enter the communications field as a career or not. Getting over " mike fright" builds poise and confidence in an individual ; such a person is at ease with himself and o thers, which is an asset in any profession or job.

"Campus News in Review" has valuable experience. cost ; with the Wilke-s facility, broadcast copditions, regulations of the twofold purpose of informing Coed D_esires To Be Cantor While women's lib has become the word of the day, one Wilkes College coed has quietly gained entrance to what before had long been considered a bastion of masculinity. Come September, Linda Kandel, a senior music major from Jenkintown is scheduled to enter the Hebrew Union School of Sacred Music in New York City thus beginning her quest to become the third female cantor in American Jewish history. History of the cantor goes back to Egyptian times when a precantor, who performed both rabbi and cantorial duties, evolved. The modern day cantor is generally charged with leading the vocal parts of a service as well as educating boys and girls for Bar Mitzvah at age 13. Although receiving plenty of flack from her break with ancient Hebrew tradition, Linda is very sincere about her intentions. "It's not a case of liberation or the pioneering aspect," she said. "I want to sing and serve God. My life just wouldn't be complete without it." One staunch supporter in her corner is Rabbi Arnould M. Shevlin, religious leader of the reformed B'nai B'rith congregation in Kingston. "There is no reason why women cannot assume the role of a cantor in public life," he stated. "I strongly believe in equality and the opportunity for any female to assume greater roles in the Synagogue." The association between Miss Kandel and the very liberal-minded Rabbi has grown out of a long-standing family friendship. Rabbi Shevlin is a former classmate of Linda's father, Lawrence, at Temple University. The ties between the Kandel family and the Kingston religious leader were further strengthened when the _ latter served the, Rod Eph Schalom congregation in Philadelphia. Rod Eph Schalom, the largest reformed congregation in Pennsylvania, was organized in 1789. Rabbi Shevlin served as an associate there for many years.

Shevlin, religious leader of the reformed B'nai B'rith congregation in Kingston. It was the same congregation which stood. firmly behind her when she made application to the Hebrew Union School in September. "At first they were mistaking me for a male," she related. "A return envelope address had me labeled as 'Mr."' The confusion was soon cleared and the real fight began. "They took a long time to accept me," Linda noted . "The board of admissions even had me give a voice audition in the presence of the entire I I-male freshman class." After two months of deliberation and arm twisting on her behalf, the spirited brunette · received notice of her acceptance in December. Although winning the battle of equality the toughest grind of her campaign lies ahead in the coming years. The road to becoming an ordained cantor takes five years of daily 9 to 5 p.m . practical aid classroom preparation to complete the required study. After the first year, the student is placed in a Synagogue where any spare time is devoted to the needs of the congregation. Wilkes has played a major role towards realization of her goals to God. "I was a lost person before the music department at the college helped me find myself," she contessed. Linda's music career began at age six and she grew up with. the piano. "After high school a close friend of the family suggested the college and its fine music education curriculum. One visit and I was sold," Linda said. Her introduction to the vocal. side of things didn 't come about till her freshman year at Wilkes. "I was trying out for a musical and I was completely caught off guard when Professor Richard Chapfo1e asked me to drop out of the show and concentrate on voice training," she remembered. Also close to her development in recent years have been Music Department Chairman William Gasbarro and vocal instructor Richard Probert. �THE BEACON Page 4 sG Off ice rs Are Elected April 20, 1972 Exchanging Views Student Government, under the new leadership of Mike Barski, filled the remaining positions of its staff last by Gary Homing Thursday. . __ .

The expressed purpose of producing a concert_is to provid~ e~joyment for those in attendance. The Byrds concert provided the maJonty of the :~~e;::~ti:::dw~:.little enjoyment and some with outright contempt ; The question is: have we learned a lesson? In talking with Dean Moss last semester I discovered that in the future , the college would seek a facility isolated enough to eliminate the harassment of unwanted intruders and yet intimate enough to provide our students with an evening's enjoyment. Pardon my shortsightedness, but that establishment does not exist in the Wyoming Valley . The POCO concert will be held in the Kingston Armory. A fine facility for storing tanks, boat shows and tape measure home runs, the armory is unfortunately not so fine a place to witness a concert. Trite as it is, the Wilkes College student body will be witnessing a dynamite group performing in an arena which as far as concerts are concerned, could use a little dynamite of its own. I hope POCO makes a liar out of me but my guess is ~hat this group will follow in the footsteps of its predecessors Canned Heat , Blood, Sweat and Tears, Jefferson Airplane and others who would, less their hard cash, prefer to forget the Armory. In most instances, the witnesses of these efforts would prefer to forget them, too! The Armory has acoustics not so unlike those of an echo chamber. Depending upon where one sits, the music itself can be heard on the second or third bounce off the distant walls - if you're lucky . My point is, unless the college can arrange a deal with the Paramount Theater for two shows in an evening (the theater seats 2048 people), are these concerts worth the l O thousand dollars and more we spend on them? The Paramount presents an interesting potential solution. It is definitely a comfortable facility with its air conditioning, padded chairs and a view of the stage from every seat in the house. It is somewhat isolated in that only the front door serves as an entrance (guards could be · stationed at the few exits on the ground floor) and thus intruders could be foiled in their attempt to gain a piece of the action. Its acoustics w.ould also provide a group with the opportunity to "make music." In the Kingston Armory noise is the word , not music. The problem, however , lies in its limited seating capacity and here is where the bargaining becomes a critical factor. Groups have become greedy and don't seem overly anxious to provide people with more than what they've paid for. Two concerts in one evening isn't the idea of a paradise for any group but money talks. With a guaranteed sum of money from the Wilkes Student Government account to pay for our share of the evening, the college could search for a promoter to put uo the money for (Continued on Page 9) Spencer Elected \ The Manuscript Society recently held elections for editors of the organization fo r the 1972-1973 school year.

Let's hope that the students of Wilkes College are up to the evening because if we've ever been treated to a concert that's a genuine knockout , this should be it. I have never had the opportunity to hear the group in person and, therefore , do not feel qualified to comment ori its concert performance .

Wilkes Theater Presents Inherit th ' by Janice Ya"ish "'Inherit the Wind' is not a history. The events which took place in Dayton, Tennessee, during the scorching July of 1925 are clearly the genesis of this play. It has however, an exodus entirely its own. 'Inherit the Wind' does not pretend io be journalism. It is theatre. It is not 1925. The stage directions set the time as "Not too long ago." It might have been yesterday. It could be tomorrow. " Jerome Lawrence Robert E. Lee "Inherit the Wind" was first published in 1955, some 30 years after the famous Scopes Trial, or "Monkey Trial," as it is sometimes referred to. It has been called the greatest courtroom drama of the century, and is one of the most moving and meaningful plays of our generation. The Scopes Trial commenced on July I 0, 1925, at Dayton, Tennessee and lasted 11 days. The trial derives its name from the defendant and chief participant, John Thomas Scopes. Scopes, a teacher of science in Rhea High School, Dayton, was arrested on a charge of violating the Tennessee state law prohibiting the teaching in public schools of any theories that deny the divine creation of man as taught in the Bible. Scopes, a biologist, had been teaching evolution. The trial centers on two issues. The immediate issue questioned whether the defendant had violated the state Jaw as to what should be taught in the public schools, but a wider issue was as to the extent to which the state , in its control of public education, may determine the nature of religious instruction given to the students in school. The trial itself was the culmination of a controversy that had been going on for years. William Jennings Bryan , a firm believer in the literal interpretation of the Bible, went to Dayton to assist the prosecution . Clarence Darrow and Dudley Field Malone were counsels for the defense. The outcome was that on July 21 Scopes was found guilty and fined $ I 00, but the penalty was set aside by the state supreme court on a technicality , without any expression of opinion as to the constitutionality of the law. Bryan had been prevented , through the tactics of Darrow , from delivering the elaborate speech which he had prepared in refutatio n of Darwin's theories. Five days after the conclusion of the trial , Bryan died. ''Inherit the Wind " draws many parallels to the Scopes Trial. The play revo lves around the trial of a school teacher, Bertram Cates, and whether or not he has broken the state law by teaching evo lution to his eighth grade class. Cates is placed under arrest and thrown into jail. Two of the most very famous lawyers at that time enter the case. Matthew Harrison Brady becomes the prosecuting attorney while Henry Drumm ond accepts the position of defen se atto rney . The trial ge ts underway and the battle begins. Both Brady and Drummond , two of America's greatest orators, roar at each other day after day in the torrid heat of the courtroom. They battle with weighty arguments and tre mendous speeches. In the end Cates is found guilty and fined $100. There is no other real penalty. Drumm ond star ts proceedings for an appeal and Brady dies. Cates' fine is paid by one �THE BEACON April 20, 1972 Page 7 J.ord 1?,ocle s~and~'!:f:u t1t Spo~/,J, I The local rock scene is a jungle of talent. It comes in all shapes, sizes and colors.

Rather Jecause the politicians in the town are fearful the people will laugh the law out of existence, and reelection is just around the corner. Talking to Mr. Alfred Groh about the progress of the play here at Wilkes he said the only difficulties he's having is in locating a tame monkey . Although he has had some leads, Groh said finding a monkey is mqre of a problem than he had thought. The Nay Aug Park Zoo used to loan out its monkeys, but there has been a change in policy over the years. Monkeys are more common in the valley than it is thought , but the problem is finding one that will work safely ( one that won't bite) with the students. That is the main problem right now with production . Other than that he is happy with the way things are going. He noted that t~e production is still relevant to things happening today. Its timely -,lication brings to mind the question , "Can any ideas be discussed Jy in a classroom today?" Groh feels the play has far greater · plications than just evolution.

Prohibition, which had become effective nationally under the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919, gave rise to the spirited "Speakeasy" and guzzling bathtub gin from teacups. The speakeasy bred a new kind of society of gangsters, easily discerned by their wide-lapeled , double-breasted, pinstripe suits, and , of course, the classic red carnation. Corruption in government and public institutions rose as "gangsterism" gained control. Women's Lib would be proud of its I 920's counterpart, who ; by the Nineteenth Amendment, gained greater social freedom with the right to vote. The Roaring Twenties took a step forward in communications with the first trans-Atlantic flights and nearly the whole world stood up· and cheered as Lindbergh made his first solo flight to Paris from New York in 1927. On the g_!"ound, the surrey was replaced with the horseless buggy and Henry Ford's Model T rumbled down every Main Street. The middle class began to thrive as many Americans were beginning to feel the benefits of a thriving economy under the leadership of Photograph by Ruthanne Jones Calvin Coolidge.

"What comes to your mind ,when you think about your mother?" "Channe!S." "Did your mother spend much time with you?" "Half an hour a day, five times a week. Including re-runs." And it wasn't much different for the other kids on the block. Manny Wineland, whose mother spent her time selling door-to-door salve, chose a substitute mother whose show was taken off the air. Manny had a n·ervous !# ~::ea:fr::e~/ge 7. Imagine the trauma of having your mother cancelled The whole neighborhood lived vicariously through TV. Mary Jo Maddock had a dog named Lassie.

"Upon arriving at the bottom of the hill , the rather stout ice man, in his worn leather apron, would step from his seat, run to the rear of the cart , prong a 25-cent chunk and head for the hill. Like the fabled letter carrier, nothing kept him from his duty . "However, in the summertime he was destined to lose. His daily routine remained the same. I could see him head for our house on the top of the hill, but when he arrived there , his 25-cent chunk was only worth a dime." Like the melted ice , the life-style of the Roaring Twenties is unfreezing and coming to life. Nostalgia has taken over and, with the same strength and fortitude of the ice man, we will be able to bear the times and make these years fun , happy, and progressive times like those of the twenties. .I,~ ANOTHER ,· _· **I * * : :** #** I ** ** . . • COLLEGE, GRAD OR A . JR.·. EX !iC IN L. - We used to get lost in space and say Howdy to Doody. We had a father who knew best, had a maid named Hazel and took all of our pediatric problems to the doctor of our choice- Ben Casey or James Kildare. Where are they now? We watched hundreds of mothers- not unlike our own, real or televised - pour out their breaking hearts to all of the DSA on Queen For A Day. We'd comb out with Kooky, thepre-Beatlesex;-symbol with hair. · We'd watch December Bride, the grandmother of us all with lavender hair. And we'd cha cha and rhumba into the hearts of Amerjca right along with Katherine and Arthur Murray's magic steps. We learned to rebel-"Mother, please, I'd rather do it myself." And we did it ourselves. We contemplated life with profoundly meaningful questions like, "Suzie, why did you leave Jimmy's bike in the driveway?" And we didn't need sex education back in the S0's. We had the Mickey Mouse Club Mousketeers, where a whole generation looked on when Annette reached puberty, which is something none of us wilfever forget. · Including Annette. :, Today's generation of children of the tube have it much worse . Imagine some kid who has Archie Bunker as his substitute father. "Hi, dadEly." "Stifle yourself, meathead." · And then there's the prime-time identity crisis. "I just can't get used to Mary Tyler Moore being single after all those years that she was married to Dick Van Dyke," a contemporary said recently. "The chutzpah of Dick Van Dyke to run off to Arizona with Hope Lange and then flaunt it on Saturday nights--only sixty seconds after Mary signs off. I shall never forgive him ." .But my heart still belongs to Lucy. I can't relate in any meaningful way to the new, single, independent Lucy with two grown kids- maybe it's sibling rivalry-bu t I wo uldn't miss the reruns of the old Lucy show fo r a visit home. Eve ryday at 3:15 , I hop downtown to the department store of my choice and tell the salesman that I 'm interested in buying a TV. And for thirty min utes it's back to the womb via a TV set. But I've run into problems. Recently I encountered a kid, my ow n age, waiting in appliances for Donna Reed to begin-- at the same time Lucy was to begin. " I want to watch Donna Reed," he said . "And I got here first. " "Hey, Hey , " I said. "Let's handle this like mature adults. My Lucy is better than your Donna. Nahh! " "Oh, yeah? Well at least Donna never got divorced. " "No. Just cancelled." He pulled the plug out of the TV set and ran off. "I'm gonna tell the salesman on you," he jeered. And the salesman came over to mediate and plug the set back in, Some people just can't seem to cut the cord. NOSTALGIA (From Page 7) 1974 COULD I* * * FIND .

Jt SUIIU Jo 111-t by Marietta Bednar Nyumba Ya Ujamaa, Orange Street, and a $50 million Gateway complex - add them all together and you come up with one of the most controversial ci ties in the East - Newark . It has often been remarked that journalists manage to find the most unusual points in any area, and all it took to convin ce me was a trip to a regional conference of Sigma Delta Chi, the professional Journalism Society , held in Newark, New Jersey. Two weeks ago, Pat Moran and I had the opportunity to attend what would seem like the most usual of conferences in Newark, and what finally ended up to be one of the most unusually informative. Arriving by bus, late Friday afternoon, we eventually discovered that the bus station was only three blocks from the Gateway Motor Inn , where the conference was being held. I stress the point eventually, because the people in Newark aren't exactly the friendliest people to encounter; in fact they will give you as little time as possible. The rest of the evening was pretty normal , with the exception of dinner, during which we managed to find the one waiter in the entire place who was out to impress the management. You've got to admit that it is highly unusual for a waiter to speak perfect English one minute , enter the kitchen, and suddenly assume a French accent. · For someone who has never experienced the atmosphere of a Sigma Delta Chi meeting, it's hard to capture the entire feeling ; there is so much that depends on the individuals present. But to sum it up, the professionals go out of their way to introduce themselves to the students and to give any assistance that might be possible. Saturday was, admittedly, one of the most exhaustedly productive days we had spent in a long .time. If nothing else, it was controversial! A group of male and female journalists talked abo'u t "Male Chauvinsim - In Print and On The Air." Believe it or not, some of the most vocal supporte rs of the women's lib movement, particularly in the area of job opportunities in the mass media, were the males. One panelist labeled the mass media field as an "industry of ideas." He went on to state that anyone who can't adhere to these ideals is in the wrong business. A general consensus of the panel was that the position of women in our society is looked upon as inferior. This is , in part, due to a woman's presentation in the media. She is generally looked down upon , primarily in the "women's pages," where the articles are geared to cooking and trite fillers . This gives the general impression that the woman is not capable of more profound thinking or ability. The panel was followed by a luncheon, to be hosted by Newark's mayor Kenneth A. Gibson . Gibson· is the first black mayor of a major Eastern city. Members of the conference were there , the food was prepared , tables were set, the Public Relations Director of the Gateway was there, - in short everything should have gone smoo thly. There was . only one minor detail missing; the host was not there, and no one could answer·the question "why'!' The group was then asked to accept two substitutes who were "equally competent" to guide us through the city. In spite of its poor start, the tour was informative , to say the least. The beginning consisted of the (Continued on Page 9) JUNIOR SENIOR.DINNER DANCE HIGHLIGHTS ., \,. 1 ~--· Members of the Junior and Senior Classes of Wilkes College conducted their annual dinner-dance over the weekend at the Hotel Sterling with a large turnout of students and their guests attending one of the major events of the pre-Commencement social season.

Fiorino ann ounced that he doesn't plan any o utstanding changes fo r the fou r rem aining weeks of the semester. Primary on h is age nda of important objectives to be completed this semester, however , are a revision of the organizati on's constitution and the redefining of the roles of JDC officer s.

It seems I h ad barely out-reached puberty when I went to bed a swinging single and awakened the next morning a co nfirmed bachelor. I noticed the fi rst symptom when I went back to my hometown for a visit. My Mother and I were out shopping -for a bun warmer when we ran into a neighbor lady friend who 's known me all my life . "Ceil ," the blonde lady hollered to my Mother across appliances. "Is this little Rickie'!' "Rick, yo u know Mrs. Plumb , don 't you'!' "Of course , I'd know him anywhere ," she cackled and continued , as if I weren't there. "Tell me, how is the boy'!' "As well as can be expected." "Is he healthy and productive'!' "Considering," my Mother said. "How proud you and Morrie must be. Tell me, is the boy still single'!' "Yes, Edith." Mrs. Plumb placed her ·chubby hand on my Mother's Timex. "He 'll make a lovely catch for some lucky girl like my niece, Estelle. He's so articulate . Listen , the next time he's in town , I'd love to see him . Have him give me a call and maybe we can arrange something with Estelle .. ." I was at the supermarket recently when I bumped carts in Produce with Mrs . Stacker, the mother of Marjorie , a girl I went to high school with . "Well , well, well ," Mrs. Stacker said. "I read in the paper that you're still single." "I didn't know they printed things like that in the paper." "Well , I didn't see your name in either the Married or Divorced lists, so if you ' re none of those - you're still single." She beamed. " Yes, I am. " "A regular Sherlock Holmes, are n't !?You know what did you say yo ur name was? - _my single d aughte r Marjorie is also single. Still. " " Yes, I know . I read it in the paper. " She grabbed my celery and continued. " Well, do n't think she co uldn't have been a married lad y a hundred times over and then some. And I know what you're thinking - that it's because of Grandma Stacker's antique and heavily insured brooch." "No t true. So consider yourself lucky ." "Lucky'!' "That she's saving herself fo r you." " I didn't know she was. " "She doesn ' t either. But the lady who does my feet , who also dabbles in tea leaves, told me that she saw Marjorie's star ascending over your Toyota . Which reminds me," she said, fumbling around in her purse, "did I ever show you the professional photos we had taken of Marjorie after we had her nose fixed . . '! The next incident occurred when I was buying a silver tray for my parents' golden anniversary . "You registered, kid? the salesman asked . "No, I already graduated. " "Are you married, kid?

HELD AT CPA More than 500 students from high schools and colleges in a nine-county Northeastern Pennsylvania region turned out during the week for a day-long 11th Annual Yearbook Seminar at the Wilkes C~llege Center for the -Performing Arts. The conference, which received professional guidance from the Taylor Publishing Company of_Dallas, T~xas, provided the students and many of their faculty advisers with direction in planning, copy preparation, deadlmes, merchandising and business management. . . Among the participants were , left to right, E.J. Howanitz, adviser; Mary Beth Donachie and Raelene D~mg, all of the Dallas (Back Mountain) Area; Richard Locke, adviser; Stephen Gan~ki and Jane Hare_nza, Nanh~oke Area ; Janie Seesholtz, Janet Sirak and William Hottenstein, adviser, Meyers High School; Debbie Grace, Sister Alfreda Marie adviser; and Ann Connors, all of Bishop Hafey High School in Hazleton. The visito;s were welcomed to the campus by Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini, who expre~sed pl~as~r_e over having them as guests. He said he hoped that many would take a close look at the college durmg their VISlt and examine the educational facilities with an eye toward applying for admission when they have completed their high school work. . The regional coordinators were Matt Lynott and Paul J. Olsen of the Wilkes-Barre area. �Page 6 April 27, 1972 THE BEACON Editorially Speaking Commuters' Choice The newly formed Commuter Council received considerable attention during the initial weeks of its formation, and sjnce then it has received very little publicity. Therefore, we would like to remind commuting students that there is a governing body which has been organized specifically to meet their needs. The council, which will be run similarly to Student Government, is under the advisorship of financial aid director Richard Raspen. The freshmen, sophomore and junior classes have held nominations for representatives to the governing body, and elections will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Following elections, Juesday evening will see the first organizational meeting of the council, and election of the executive council and officers wiJI be held on May 9. Many commuting students have voiced their concern over the lack of representation that day students receive at the college, and the Commuter Council has been established to alleviate that problem. However, the problem will still exist unless day students decide they really want a change. To have a governing body which is supposed to represent day student interests is not enough. Unless direction and initiative, is supplied by the students themselves, the council will be relatively useless. Ob viously, the first step in showing concern and interest is to vote on Tuesday or Wednesday . When representatives are elected , they are there to represent you, the commuting student. Let them know how you feel and what you would like to see done. The governing body is there. Whether it is effective or not remains to be seen. It's up to the commuters. . . NOTICE WCLH, the Wilkes College radio station , will be doing a series of special programs for Cherry Blossom Weekend. Similar to the live show that was done during the Walk for Bangladesh, the two shows that will be aired on Saturday and Sunday will include folk , rock and intermediate music as well as reports on the raft regatta. Tune in ... 90.7 FM ... for some great listening eatertairrient during the festival weekend , and support your radio station . Tune On, Tune In Turn on, tune in, and support Wilkes College's own campus radio station - WCLH, located at 90.7 on your FM dial. Since Sunday, February 6, when the station first went on the air, a great deal of progress has been made, from working out the bugs in new equfpment to implementing on the spot reporting for the college campus. Yet relatively _few people on the Wilkes Campus realize that the station exists and an even smaller number of these people listen on a regular basis. Wilkes is even in competition with King's as to numbers of listeners on campus. A fact that few people bother to consider is that WCLH covers a radius of 150 miles, while the King's station is limited to the city. A major gripe voiced by students at the beginning of broadcasting was that not enough rock would be played on the air during prime time. Since that time, a number of improvements have been made. The staff of WCLH-FM is composed almost entirely of students, many of whom will be '-going on to prepare for careers in the area of mass communications. Their experience, which woulp normally be gathered through classroom instruction, is gained by actual working. Student interest and involvement on the working side has been outstanding. Many of the individuals currently working on the radio station have discovered that it takes a lot more than just a desire to be on the radio to produce a working, accurately timed program. It takes up to 10 hours of preparation to produce just one hour of programming. What the station needs now is the support of the entire Wilkes College Family to make it a truly successful venture. , NOTICE On Thursday, May 11, 1972, an Awards Luncheon will be held in the C.P.A. Lounge beginning at 11 :30 a.m . After the luncheon, awards will be given out. If your department or organization wishes to give out an award , please contact Dean Moss .

Sign-In Duty Elicits Gripe To the editor : I feel that the current situation in the women's dormitories concerning visitation is in immediate need of reform. The procedure of "guard duty" is a burden to all members of the living unit and has no redeeming value whatsoever. The door is locked and no strangers can enter unadmitted (unless of course it is by some other method of entrance, which is unavoidable and in no way connected with visitation privileges). I would like to relate a personal experience concerning this camping out ritual that takes place in the women's dormitories. Senator George McGovern recently spoke in Wilkes-Barre, and I was forced to leave after hearing five minutes of his speech because I was assigned lounge duty at that time. l tried to get someone to fill in for me, but who's going to be around between 9:30 and 12 on a Friday night if they don 't have to be! The purpose of my writing is to call attention to the fact that this procedure is preventing many of us from doing more important and educational things than sitting in a dorm lounge for two and a half hours. Who is going to argue that a presidential election is more important than babysitting for 20-year-old men and women? I do not feel that my case should be taken individually but as representative of the many times women are deprived of concerts, \M. lectures and movies because of this discriminating , juvenile rule set 1· by the college administration. · Name withheld on requ Reif Outlines Earth Dilemma To the editor: Earth Day of April in 1970 an · Walk For Bangladesh of April I 9r produced a flurry of activity on the part of a few concerned students. Such participation by students is to be commended because the primary purpose of Wilkes College is to prepare informed and concerned citizens. Paradoxically, Earth Day and Walk For Bangladesh focu~ attention on a dilemma whicl· mankind must face because , fro . an ecological point of view, Earth Day and Walk For Bangladesh are diametrically opposed. The ecological crisis of planet Earth in 1972 is due to the selfishness of the human species and the failure o,' man to practice brotherhood. Walk For Bangladesh is ecologically unsound. To send food to Bangladesh will at the be merely postpone the famine which is inevitable and at its worst will .enable the population to increase so that when the famine does come the death total will be higher. The dilemma is clear. The United States of Amerk .. and Bangladesh are examples of two kinds of overpopulation.

Before I say anything, I wish to express a deep anger and resentment with Mary Covine and the editorship of the Beacon for their response to Susan's letter. I, for one, do not desire Miss Covine ·or anyone else defending the Council's actions or discrediting someone who attacks the Council. Through personal experience let me say that it is pretty upsetting to write a letter to the Beacon, only to find a two or three column "viewpoint" in the same issue attacking your comments. Miss Covine, if a defense is required , let those attacked assume the responsibility. (I fully expect and await an editorial comment on this point.) Now to Miss Kelly's vitriolic criticism. First and foremost "trial" and "crime" are two words fabricated by Miss Kelly to feed the appeal of her fiery rhetoric. On no written summons or record will either of these words be found. As for the question of the Council's jurisdiction, Mi~ Kelly need look no further than page 17 in the · Student Handbook and spend time reading the five points under Article IV, Jurisdiction. The reason the hearing was "two long weeks" after the violation was due to the fact that it occurred right before the Easter break. Since there are certain time lags involved in notification, and allotment of time for the summoned individual's response, and schedules to be balanced, etc.; the earliest time available was two weeks later. If you, Miss Kelly, felt a cold and informal atmosphere, may I suggest that your own feelings of anxiety and anticipation may have projected this non-existant atmosphere to the Council. Miss Kelly was asked to leave because deljberation on the part of the Council often involves the citing of past offenses and punishments as reference points. If the Council's integrity is to be maintained, these other cases cannot and should not be discussed before the present offender. As for Miss Kelly's suggestions , let me say that the first is impossible. As explained before, time is not the only issue in having a case scheduled. Time, due proce~, schedules to be balanced, etc. make a four day maximum unrealistic. Point number three, as pointed out previ~usly, is amusing in the least. Let me just add to what I already have said about the cold and formal atmosphere of.the Board Room that in general the room is convenient, spacious, centrally located, easily found ar , comfortable. Nothwithstanding the above, some ,)f Miss Kell y' points have been shared by this author for man: months. (A) Rules should be listed more clearly, the present guidelines should be changed or abolished . Punishments should accompany each rule in the case of a violation thereof. But the degree of punishment must vary in accord with the degree of violation, "because circumstances from case to case may vary greatly ." (B) Students who have conceded guilt and a willingness to · abide by the decision of the Council, should be allowed not to appear before the Council unless they wish to be there. (C) There is no excuse for the embarrassment and guilt feelings given to the student who is forced to answer the repetitive, inane and prying questions of some of the Council members. I agree with Miss Moran when she states that the Council should be more than just a punitive body. I have felt that we have acted as little more than a rubber stamp of judgement on students who have come to us confessing guilt and repentance. What the Council needs is power and jurisdiction over a greater part of the college life. Not unlike the judicial branch of the government we should have the power and responsibility of testing the validity of many of the rules and guidelines the student are forced to follow. Our actions and suggestions should bear heavy weight to those individuals and bodies responsible for rules and regulations. I also lean toward Miss Kelly's point concerning student membership. I don 't feel an all student body would fit into my conception of what the Judicial Council should be , but I will ,Jgree that if the Council were to remain as is, without any changes, then only students should be members. There are other changes required, bu~ I've taken_t~o much time and space already. Let me JUSt say this m conclusion. The Council is still in its probationary stage. I feel it has failed in its objective . It's weak points are outstanding and demand immediate c~ange. These changes should and must be enacted without delay . And if those w~o- are in the position ~o make t~e changes are unw1lhng to do so, then I will be first, m line clamoring for its destruction. Sincerely yours, Al Pellegrini Clerk of Courts Viewpoint FEMINIST COALITION SPEAKS by A. M. Pauley It seems that Wilkes College has put the "liberal" back into "liberal arts" with this year's choice of speakers for the Concert and Lecture Series. Early in the year, Julian Bond· represented our black - that is, conservative black - brothers' way of thinking, and last Tuesday Claudia Dreifus, a liberal Jewish exponent of women's rights, delivered her address, "Liberation Now: What Are Militant Women Fighting For?" Ms. Dreifus, journalist and author of . the'-. book Radical Life Styles, focused primarily on the economic and legal aspects of inequality. She defined sexism as "The system by which 49 per cent of the population controls the other 51 per cent," removing .from the latter all sense of individualism and humanity : The lecturer pointed o·ut that at all educational levels, women make less than half the salary of men, and added pessimistically that the 'gap between women's and men's incomes is getting worse. In reference to inequality under legislature, the New York journalist noted, "We may have the laws, but they have no teeth in them." Commenting on the recent controversy at Wilkes over the failure to give tenure and equal pay to women faculty members, Ms. Dreifus said that court cases are at least "good for embarrassing the school." Ms. Dreifus feels that the present laws render marriage "contractual prostitution at an extremely low rate." By law, a woman must provide consortium and domicile, paraphrased by the speaker as "putting out and cleaning up," while the man must be the financial supporter of his family . In her own experiences as Mrs. Sidney Weinheimer, the women's rights advocate found that she was unable to have any personal loans, contracts, or charge accounts without her husband's permission, for women are not responsible for their own debts. . A sadly humorous note in the presentation came when Ms. Dreifus quoted the "women's section" of one state's Penal Code, which gives up to a three-year sentence for any of the following: 1) a~ociating with vicious persons, 2) willfully disobeying parents or guardians, 3) being in danger of being morally depraved and 4) being found in reputed house of prostitution. The horrifying fact about these laws, she added, is that they are still being enforced, for instance in a case where parents "put away" their daughter who embraces a different life style. Jab bing Hugh Heffner and Dayid Susskind, pseudo-supporters who say that they are for women's liberation but the movement has no pro~am of reforms, she said, "We've had a program since the beginning, but nobody bothered to look." Her list of necessary changes included : an end to the "tracking system" in high school, where females are pressured into clerical and nursing professions and men are pushed into their respectively traditional professions; an end to quotas for women in graduate schools; locally controlled free 24-hour child care centers; a national network of abortion clinics with services available to any woman upon request; decent research on birth control; and an end to the sexual double standard ·and to sex-role typing in the educational system. · Ms. Dreifus warned the women that, "The Revolution is not going to happen tomorrow ." She advised her sisters in the audience to "Begin to feel that we can do anything we want to," and simply refuse to accept any further oppression. More specifically, the journalist recommended setting up consciousness-raising groups where women together can realize that their experiences of inability, servitude, despondency, hostility et al are not isolated.

MATHEMATICS CONTEST - The Luzerne County Council of Teachers of Mathematics during the week held its 24th annual mattiematics contest for superior high school students in the gymnasium at Wilkes College with more than 100 juniors and seniors from nearly all the county secondary schools taking part. Among those who played major roles in the supervision of the contest were, left to right: Dr. Bing K. Wong, chairman of the Mathematics Department at Wilkes; Abner Millard, president of the council and head of mathematics at Wyoming Valley West School District; and Prof . Boyd Earl, vice president of the mathematics teachers council. Humph rey , 48; Frank Church, 32; Ted Kenned y, 15 ; Scoop Jackson, 12; and Vance Hartke, 0.

Gravel and Percy , Micheri , Muskie, Kennedy, Wallace, Hughes, Tunney, Church, Himmler , Flood , Kresge, Shapp, J. Bond. Vance Hartke was the winner with 437 votes, while Shirley Chisholm followed with 391 notes. The Vice Presidential candidate was determined by a plurality vote on the first ballot. All in all, the day proved to be quite a political experience . It can well be imagined the "bargaining" that goes on at a real convention, because very much of it went on here, and I'm sure it works even better on a larger scale.

THE SEAI.S IN PENOBSCOT BAY hadn't heard of the atom bomb, so I shouted a warning to them. Our destroyer (on trial run) slid by the rocks where they gamboled and played; they must have misunderstood , or perhaps not one of them heard me over the engines and tides As I watched them over our wake I saw their sleek skins in the sun ripple , light-flecked, on the rock, plunge, bubbling , into the brine , a_nd couple & laugh in the troughs between the waves' whitecaps and froth. Then the males clambered clumsily up and lustily crowed like seacocks, sure that their prowess held thrall all the sharks, other seals, and seagulls. And daintily flipped the females, seawenches with musical tails; each looked at the Atlantic as though it were her looking - glass. If my warning had ever been heard it was sound none would now ever heed . And I, while I watched those far seals tasted honey that buzzed in my ears and saw, out to windward, the sails of an obsolete ship with banked oars that swept like two combs through the spray And I wished for a vacuum of wax to ward away all those strange sounds, yet I envied the sweet agony of him who was tied to the mast , when the boom, when the boom, then the boom of guns pun ched dark holes in the sky.

"It's another way of saying 'You women can't be trusted,' " and for the initiation of courses concerning the female's role in society. The movement is not only a liberation of women, but also one of men. For that 49 per cent, women's equality will alleviate the pressure of being the sole supporter of the family, it will allow fathers to partake in the joys of child-rearing, (t will release them from the rigors of the John Wayne-type competitive struggle, and, finally, will free them to cry. Although Ms. D reifus' presentation may have offended even members of the women's movement (with her assuming that "guys," to us.:: her oft-repeated word, are less compassionate and sensitive members of the human race), the lecture was an essential "first" for Wilkes College.

What do we have in the way of softball results?" "Well, Coward, the young season has been marked by innumerable rain storms and quite a few forfeits. So far on the winning side of the ledger we have these results: On April 10, the Thundering Chickens, Brown's Deli and Dirksen all won by forfeit. But on April 11, we have our first games with the Bearcats taking Colonels 16-6 and Webster trouncing Gore 19-2, another winner was the Merry Pranksters by the forfeit route. " April 12 Stellar, we have Grisson defeating Slocum 'B' 13-S, while the Solcum 'A' team took the Prank~ters 6-l. Also getting a win was the Co-Ordination Plus downed 262 by a score of 7-3. Now we have our first rain date and April 13 was one of Stel's totally washed-out dates." "Moving on to the remainder of that week we have Brown's Deli, Gere, and Colonels taking victories from Bruch again and Grissom. The Stumpers and Dirksen took forfeit decisions." "On April 18 and 19, Stellar, the league really got moving with the Bearcats taking their second from the RBI'S 19-9.

THEATRE PRODUCTION REVIEW Upperclassmen Needed LAUiJS GALLAGHER HUGHES · For Oi-ientation Staff by Janice Yarrish 1 "He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise in heart." This famous line from "Inherit the Wind" was heard by many theatre-goers as the play was presented at the Center for the Performing Arts last Thursday through Saturday. The cast was applauded each night by large and receptive audiences. The show was undoubtedly another of the Wilkes College Theater's successes. The play, based on the famous Scopes Trial , deals with the trial of Bertram Cates, portrayed by Bob Leach , a school teacher, and whether or not Rachel Brown, Cates' fellow portrayed by Harry Swepston, · he has broken the state law by teacher and girlfriend, was William Louden and John Marion. teaching evolution to his eighth portrayed by Ruthanne Jones, as Townspeople, Jurors and grade class.

Those unable to attend the meeting at this designated time may contact either Marcia Minkoff or Estelle Novzen. With "Inherit the Wind ," Wilkes College has fallen short. The performance last Thursday night was carried off only by Matt Hughes as Matthew Brady and Mike Gallagher as Henry Drummond . Mr. Al Groh expressed concern over whether people would understand the position of Matthew Brady, the fundamentalist. No one, after putting themselves in the shoes of the townspeople, can deny the validity of Brady's statements in reference to God's work. Matt Hughes put the audience there. He made them believe that God could put J ohah in the belly of a whale and could stop the sun without hurting the earth.

Koepke, 59, night receptionist in the New Men's Dorm, was pronounced dead on arrival at Mercy Hospital, Thursday, April 27, after being stricken ill at his home in Hanover Towpship. A native of Nanticoke, Mr. Koepke was born April 26 , 1913. A veteran of two wars, he served with the Navy in World War 2 and the Korean War. A former sales representative for Jewell Tea Company , he was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church. Mr. Koepke had been employed by the college as a receptionist for the past year and a half. �May 4 , 1972 I. . _E_x_ch_a_n_g_.i_ng_v__i·e_w_s__ THE BEACON l Gary Horning With fin al examinations only a week away , the question of their merit again arises. Are final examination s a valid indication of how n:iuch a student has learned during the course of the semester? Let us examme the facts. Wilkes, like most other colleges and universitites across the country , has engaged in administering final exams since its inception . But now a trend is taking• place whereby the concept of mandatory final exams has been altered to that of discretionary finals. By discretionary , I mean the choice is up to the student or professor, or both . Such a system has worked ad mirably . Finals h ave always been a so urce of tension fo r the m ajority of those involved with th em . Be it the students and ulcers, or the teachers and the grading of such exams within a specified period of time , nobody seems to like finals and yet nobody has come up with a solution except one Dr. Charles Reif. Before exploring Dr. Reifs proposal of some weeks ago , I should like to question personally the validity of fmals. lt is my belief that these tests by their very nature give some students an unfair advantage over others through the ability to sit through a three-hour examination period. :i:wo students may enter a room with virtually identical knowledge and ability, yet one might surpass the other through his or her capability of easily enduring the three-hour examination period . Thus there is a somewhat unfair system'of grading and unfortunate as it is, grades are the whole ball game. Dr. Reif proposes an interesting concept known as th e Beta Plan. Here the semester is lengthened by one.week {in Wilkes' case we would have a fifteen week semester) and whatever type of final the instructor deemed necessary for his students would be administered during-the regular class hours of the last week of school. The strength of such a system is apparent. It would give profs much needed leeway in thei r fmals. Some would be cumulative, some based on course and/or class needs . It would also give students a better chance to prepare more thoroughly for individual topics to be covered, and perhaps most importantly it would cut down on three hours in a chair with a lapboard. Consideration of this proposal by our Administration sh ould commence. It would seemingly make the teachers of this institution happier as it would afford them more personal freedom irt preparation for their examinations and students would be happy because they wouldn't have to sit in the gymnasium any longer and secondly they could concentrate more on the problem at hand , i.e. if an English 151 final were to cover Shakespeare one day then students could prepare for only Shakespeare instead of everything covered during the semester. Another noteworthy plus for the system is that students will be trodding familiar ground while taking finals. They will be administered during a regular class week, allowing students to continue with their everyday lifestyles and perhaps afford an element of calmness to their presence. Something should be done about the present system of finals. Whether it be abolition, shortening the duration of them to one or two h ours, amnesty to those with a B average or above, or the Beta Plan, a revision is needed. I believe the Beta Plan would best enable all parties concerned to meet their needs and wants relative to finals as a whole. · Is it really so impossible for such a plan to be instituted by next year? Let's h ope the people in Weckesser Hall think not. SPRING WEEKEND HELD J Spring Weekend on the campus of Wilkes College came to a close as students returned to their regular routine of studying to windup class and their examinations during these last two weeks of school.

Herforth f �Page 4 THE BEACON May 4, 1972 Editorially Speaking Wilk es- 'Action Minus?' Wilkes College has an apathetic student body, right? Wrong. For the last few months a few dedicated students have been working diligently for this weekend's Cherry Blossom Festival. This year's Festival will be the biggest that Wilkes has ever sponsored, and from the looks of the tightly packed schedule of events, it should also be the best. To give credit where credit is due, Mike Mariani and the Cherry Blossom Festival Committee deserve the thanks of the Wilkes student body for the fine job they did in organizing a great weekend for everyone. No matter what interests you have, from a concert to a frisbee contest, you'll find it this weekend. This brings up an interesting point - perhaps our "action minus" campus isn't so action minus after all. There can be things to do, if there are people who want to do them. Fun doesn't have to be as detailed as this week's Cherry Blossom Festival. All it takes is somebody with an idea and a lot of people who are up for a good. time. The coffee hou~ in the Commons, which "everybody" wanted so badly, has an audience each weekend of about 20 to 30 people. Perhaps we really didn't want it so badly. We won't cry the well-worn "Apathy, Apathy," but if you're bored, it just could be that it's your own fault. Commuter Elections Apathy Hits French Club To the editor: In the past three years that I have been a student here at Wilkes, I have often read in the Beacon about the problem of student apathy and I knew that it was present on the Wilkes College campus, but I did not realize to what a great extent until just last week. As President of the French Club, I wanted to organize a trip to Montreal, Canada, for anyone who wished to go . They did not have to be a member of the club or even attend Wilkes. This trip went into the · planning stage in October, and we had more than enough people who wanted to go. The final date was set for April 28, 29 and 30 of 1972. At the beginning of this semester, I began to call people who wanted to accompany us this semester. This was as I had expected, and I had no trouble Elections were held this week for one of tlie newest finding others to take their place. By April 14, all the governing bodies on the Wilkes College Campus - ' the arrangements had been made for Commuter Council. our trip including hotel and bus Time and again the day students have voiced th.e opinion reservations and I called some that they were poorly, if at all, represented on this campus. Now the opportunity for representation has been presented and approved. We wish the Commuter Council the best of luck in its earliest endeavors, but remind the student body that any governing body can only be as good as you choose to make it. Sure, the body can survive, and even attain a ,degree of success, relying on the work of a very few people. It seems that . . . . whenever anything maJor occurs on campus, 1t 1s a result of a . very few individuals who are involved in just about everything. The Commuter Council may turn out to be just another . . . d" .d I campus organization run b ya f ew in 1v1 ua s w h o a Iso devote a great deal of time and effort to the runriing of Wilkes College activities. Their devotion is terrific, but the point is that more people . . . . are needed to take an active interest in the governing and running of our college. For after all, it is OUR college, not his and hers. We urge commuters to take advantage of this opportunity to work for Wilkes as a whole, not just for the commuters. If thi~ were done, there would only be an extended degree of separation between the day and dorm students. Once again , best of luck to the Commuter Council of Wilkes College. BEACON people who were on the list to go but had ,not attended any of the meetings . It was at this time that I discovered that most of the people on the liS t (20 out of 35 ) had suddenly changed their minds about going but had regretfully neglected to let me know . I tried to find replacements for thedse people bd~td t~ no avail. The stu ents Just I n t want to be bothered going on a trip, and the trip had to be cancelled to the disappointment of everyone who still wanted to go. Al so b ecause o f st uden t apa thy, the French Club itself is almost nonexistent. The most we have had at our re_gular meetings is five, the four ofhcers and one other person. Because of this, it is very likely that the French Club of Wilkes College wlll no longer be in existence after this semester. For these reasons I am asking each and every student on the Wilkes campus to recognize the problem of student apathy and help do something about it. Help stop student apathy before it stops us.

NORTHAMPTQN ST. • . ; .! by John Malatras Lacrosse was the name given by French settlers of Canada to the Old Indian game of waggatauing ; because the implement used, the curved netted stick, resembled a bishop's crozier. It is the oldest organized sport in America, and was used by the American and Canadian Indian s as a training measure for war. Gradually the whitemen adopted this unusual and interesting game at around 1840 and it increased in popularity until the United States Interstate Lacrosse association was founded. The modern game is fast and rough, but cannot compare on the latter point with the Indian game . Most of the time 800 to 1,000 Indians would participate in a game. These games were between different tribes and often lasted for several days; broken legs and arms were common and some players were killed. The Indian contestants went into rigorous training for these matches, and the games were considered tests of the players' virility. The , brave who lasted longest in the games were looked upon as more courageous and strong. Today, the roughness of Lacrosse still exists but with more protection and organization the seriousness and number of injuries has been reduced. The lacrosse stick called a "crosse" is made of bent hickory wood . There is a network of leather and "catgut" in the strap of a triangle that serves for catching, cradling, carrying ro throwing the ball. But Lacrosse is still being modernized , and now plastictopped sticks are gradually replacing the hickory wood sticks. Plastic sticks for one thing, do (lOt break as easily when a player "poke sticks" or " slapsticks" another player. Anoth-er thing is that plastic sticks are more balanced than wood sticks for cradling, skooping, and catching. The ball use d by the Indians was made of deerskin, stuffed hard with hair. Today the ball is a highly compressed rubber , which on occasion takes odd bounces that may be advantageous in scoring a goal. The object of Lacro sse is to score a goal by using various plays that involve the four types of positions played. The midfielders usually bring the ball down on a "clear" from their defensive side of the field. They can either set up, run a play, or pass it to the attackmen on their team, who specialize in scoring. The attac~men can use the midfielders in plays. They are caused by defe nsemen who specialize in keeping the ball away from the goal and getting it (Continued on Paf(e 8) Cards and Gifts for All Occasions 1) DEEM ER'S Student Accounts Available 251 W't'_OMING A'tE. 1 KINGSTO~ - 6 WES!

If the defensemen or the defensive midfielders fail to keep their man from shoQting , then it is the job of the goalie, wearing a chest protector, a wider stick, and a helmet (as do the other players) to stop the ball with his stick or body . Both teams have midfielders, defensemen, attackmen, and a goalie. The game is divided into four 15- minute periods with time-outs, substitutions and a half-time break. Whole midfield changes of three men, out of the IO men playing on the field at one time for one team, are common. The game's popularity is reaching a new high . . Many high schools have taken up the game, and the players continue to play it through college . Wilkes College today has been getting good crowds at recent games, and is curre ntly undefeated at 6-0.

This was due, in ' large part, to the efforts put forth by the graduating class of 1972. Throughout the year we' ve seen many innovations, changes and an all-around effort for improvement on the part of the student body. Thanks to the efforts of a few ind iv iduals who put in long hours fo r various projects, we now have longe·r visitation hours in both the men's and women's dormitories, w e also have a new school ca lendar which w ill enable more students to pick up additional funds during the semester break . We would like to take this opportunit y to Vl{ish members of the 1972 Wilkes College graduat ing class the best of luck in all their future endeavors. If the past four years are any ind ication o f what the future will be like, it should be fa irly successfu I.

B?ys seem to be able to explore, experiment and discover, whereas girls' en deavors are limited to aspects considered " ladylike.

This-is never exactly defined but it seems to con tain the overtones that since a woman is fic kle she can never be taken se riously. We y e placed with the heavy burden of responsibility to mankind as "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world ." Naturally if anything goes wrong it is our fau lt. In some secondary sch ools many girls are taught that , " A man is only as pure as the girl is," and we have to be very careful on dates because everyone knows that a man has no control. We are always allowed to feel guilty about every thing in general. We must be carefu l of hurting a man's pride because of his " male ego" an d be his servan t because a " man 's h ome is his castle." Since it is a man's world we must live according to his whims and it is pretty h ard to say n o.

Dr. Hirsch lectured on "Detection of Defective Members of Large Populations" in Miner Hall on South Franklin Street. Dr. Hirsch received all his advanced degrees from New York University. He has taught'lt Columbia and several major universities in France and Switzerland. Currently, Dr. Hirsch is also serving as editor of two international journals and is the director of a Probability Theory research group at the prestigious Courant Institute of Mathematical Science. Dr. Emil Grosswald , professor of mathematics at Temple University, presented a lecture on "The Impact of Number Theory on the Development of Mathematics" at Wilkes College on T uesday at 11 a.m. in Miner Hall.

Life On A Kibbutz by Molly Moran How many college students are away from home studying hard and partying for eight months of the year? Lots. But, how many college students spend eight months in Israel , four of which are spent on a kibbutz one mile from the war-torn Jordanian border? We found one .

This in itself was slightly unnerving. I had just completed an entire academic year during which I watched the newspaper facing the firing squad and come out in shreds. I also watched one senior carry on a losing battle, not only with the campus, but with the staff, and herself. This was the same position I was to fill - quite a bleak prospect. The advisor stepped in with a word of confidence. "This isn't exactly the most popular job on campus." Perhaps a quote from Dr. Eugene S. Farley best sums it up : "The two worst jobs on campus are the college president and the editor of the school newspaper - ·and not necessarily in that order." I didn't have the position officially, yet by April, I was battling for the very existance of the newspaper - quite an initiation. The year has been filled almost entirely with criticism from all sides, but it has been an experience that I'll never be sorry to have lived through. Trying to explain the feeling of knowing that you have completed and published an entire issue in less than five days is difficult, to say the least. -If you are brave enough to attempt an explanation, most people label you nuts, shake their head and walk away in sympathy. Putting out a newspaper isn't always the easiest or most rewarding job. It involves giving up a major portion of your weekends. This' can be particularly difficult especially if it's a nice warm day and spring fever is dominant. It also in.volves explaining to an irate mother why you were out of the dorm until 11 :30 on Tuesday night and no one knew where you were. Perhaps most importantly it involves a great deal of understanding on the part of those individuals you come in contact witn constantly. Right now it's a standard joke with my roommate that the only way she knows I'm still alive is an occasional change of clothes on the bed. Dates have been broken in odd ways - sickness, a doctor's appointment, a death in the family. But try breaking a date because a problem has come up with the newspaper - at 9:30 p.rn. on Friday night. Needless to say, it takes a pretty special individual, who is almost as nutty yourself to understand something like this. Last, but certainly not least, comes the advisor. Most people have some ncept of what a newspaper advisor does on a college level, but very few dl1 come up with a clear picture. I've been fighting for two years to :,cplain that an advisor's job is not t0 censor or decide what articles will go into a particular issue but to offer the necessary professional experience. Oddly enough, the majority of complaints raised this year were a result of mechanics that most don't understand. I can honestly say we've come a long way along the professional lines. In addition , the advisor has had to act as a buffer zone between the departments and the staff. It would be idealistic to even attempt a year without mistakes, but I honestly can't see too much drastically wrong with the issues this past year, except perhaps for a lack of enthusiasm on the part of a number of staff members. · Right now I'm in an awkward position. I'm stepping down in responsibility for next year. In most respects, it'll be a unique experience. ·Few editors have had the opportunity to sit back and watch their product take shape under new management. On~ of the hardest things to realize is that mistakes will have to be made m order to learn.

With two games remaining this season Bergbauer was hitting well' over .3 50 while playing flawless defense at first base. An accounting major, Bergy, or "XL," as his colleagues refer to him , hails from Ivyland , Pennsylvania, where opposing pitchers soon ascertained and lamented that his bat was poison and neither calamine lotion, greasy kid stuff, nor supplicatio'ns that he be scratched from the line-up could stop it fro m infecting the ball park with base hits. Page 11 Two Wilkes College Spring Sport teams (golf and baseball), have captured Middle Atlantic Conference Championships and the Lacrossers of Coach Chuck Mattei are trying to become the third. The stickmen continued their success by surprising Western Maryland, 9-3, in a conference clash at Westminister on Saturday. Blue and Gold now 7-0 on the year, drew first scoring blood in the contest and never looked back as freshman-sophomore combination of Bill Winter and Steve Moscone , totaled five of the Colonels' goals.

SPORTS - 't PRISM by Steve Jones "Final Edition" or "For those of you who have read me 'religiously,' you'll be happy to know that these are my 'last writes' of the semester, so I'll be choosing my words 'bury' carefully." Bringing you the pithy results of the Colonels' athletic exploits this year have been my sometimes punctual, sometimes accurate, never grammatical, but always able and enthusiastic s·ports staff of Jim Godlewski, Ray McNulty, Rich Lopatto, Gary Horning, Joe Iero, Kathy Davies, Val Aiello and John "the real Coward Hosell" Pisano. No kind of writing is easy, good writing is difficult, and , according to my sports staff, excellent writing is impossible! Joking aside, at times my staffs printed materials have been as trinkets of joy to my empty , starved-for-anything pages and I'd like to thank them for a job well done and warn everyone within reading distance that most of them will be back next year. Thanks also go to Mr. Moran , Mr. Pawlush, Cyndy Marple, Mariea Barbella and the Moran sisters (my typists), and the athletes and coaches for their assistance ; and a special thanks goes to Marietta ·Bednar who so aptly taught me the art of accepting criticism and whose blitz-course mini typing lesson has made me the incomparable 10-word per minute typist that I am today. (That's pun for the road, Marietta.) _ Sports-wise it has been a very productive year. The Colonels captured three MAC championships in wrestling, golf and baseb all and, as of this writing, have a chance to notch one more in lacrosse. The soccer squad battled their way to the MAC championship game before yielding and the football and swimming teams turned in improved and admirable showings. Cross-country was launched in its inaugural season at Wilkes and two rookie coaches, Tom Rokita, who had his tennis team in the thick of every conte~, and Rodger Bearde, who guided the Colonel cagers to their first MAC Tournament, were cited by many for their supererogative and devoted efforts. MAC 'North' Oiampionship Colonel Diamondmen Win by Rich Lopatto The Wilkes College baseballers clinched their second MAC Northern Division diamond title with a well-earned win over Philadelphia Textile, their 11th consecutive victory , at Temple University's ball park last Saturday. The Blue and Gold put together a 12-hit barrage to defeat their opponents 7-4. Saturday's triumph put Wilkes' record at 11-1 overall and 9-1 in MAC play. The Colonels defeated Ursinus College in a contest earlier in the week by an 8-1 margin. A playoff for the championship of the MAC between the Northern and Southern top teams is scheduled to be played on Saturday, May 13, at Artillery Park. Current leaders in the Southern circuit are Moravian, PMC and Washington Colleges. The winner of the playoff will then have an opportunity to be selected to the NCAA regional tournament. The Colonels copped their first MAC Northern ti tie since 1968 behind the pitching of senior· Ted Sokolowski and the big sticks of Mike Berbauer, Frank Galicki and , Marty Pobutkiewicz. Sokolowski, a Nanticoke native, earned his fifth victory in a row while fanning nine batters in the process. First baseman Mike Bergbauer proved to be the clutch hitter of the day as his bat drove in three runs. Tom Page and Marty Pobutkiewicz contributed to the offensive attack as each stroked the ball for a triple . Ursinus College fell prey to the Colonel diamondmen when they received an 8-1 setback at the Collegeville campus. Pitcher Gene Camoni helped his own cause with a three-run homer in the third inning. Camoni struckout nine opponents enroute to his third straight victory without a defeat. Senior captain Ted Yeager chipped in with a solo homerun shot in the fifth frame. Mike Bergbauer At Council Rock High School, Mike was roted to the Lower Bucks County second team as · a centerfielder and in soccer, was selected as the All-Bucks Mont goalie - which may be one reason why nothing ever gets past him at first base , or at the plate. At Wilkes,. Mike has lettered in soccer, made the All-MAC second team last year and looks like a sure bet for similar honors this season. During the summer Bergy participated in the Swoyersville summer and Sunday league an d hit .371. Mike now resides in the area with his attractive wife , Judy, and The Beacon also salutes the Wilkes athletes who will be closing their works for Peat, Marwick, Mitchell athletic careers this spring.

When a chest x-ray shows that you have a potential killer like TB or cancer, it's not a pretty picture. But it's an important picture because it can help the doctor detect and catch the killer in time. When doctors are out to catch these potential killers, they want the sharpest, clearest x-ray films they can get. And that's why people at Kodak spend so many hours creating new and better x-ray film equipment. Already, the results in- elude convenience for the patient, economy for the hospital, an even more useful tool for the radiologist- and, most important, reduced radiation exposure. Researching and creating better x-ray films is good for our business, which is why we went into them in the first place. But it does our society good, too- which isn't a bad feeling. After all, our business depends on our society_:_so we , care what happens to it. 111 More than abusiness. 19791 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

XXV, No. 1 Thursday, Sep tember 28, 1972 WILKES REBUILDS AFTER JUNE DISASTER A Valley United Nixon .Presents Check For $4-Million; Total Losses Estimated A t $10-M illion The following letter was written by Dr. Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, in the aftermath of the June 23 disaster and ran as a Letter to the Editor in the August 3 edition of the New York Times. Dr. Farley watched Wilkes College grow from an offshoot of Bucknell University with one building to the 58-building complex it is today. Dr . Farley came to Wilkes in the midst of a depression, helping the college grow following the flood of 1936, in the middle of a fa iling While memories of water, mud and devastation are still f resh maybe each of us will join in planning for the re-birth of our Valley. One hundred and fifty years ago the " Vale of Uyoming" was reputed to be one of the most beautiful spots in the East. . One hundred years ago our Valley was still beautiful but mining was slowly destroying its natural beauty. Fifty years ago our Valley was noted f or its labor strife and for the by Janice Yarrish physical and psychological scars left by the mining industry. " Operation Snapback" efforts reaped success earlier in the month with the arrival of President Richard M. Nixon Fifty day s ago we were struggling to create a new and more attractive · on the Wilkes College campus and the presentation of a check in the amount of $4-million .

Michelini , saying "this is one check that created, the general economy was improving and old eye-sores were being won't bounce, Dr· Mike !'' ~ replaced by modern, attractively land-scaped buildings. The check was called only a first installment, with $6-million more to arrive in the near future, covering the And then in afew hours we were inundated with flood waters andj eft with inches of mud and material damage that had to be seen to be believed. But in the midst oi this devastation neighbor helped neighbor a"nd . . . . . · . . . Ov1l Defense mamtamed order and provided leadership m the midst of muck, mud and devastation. In the midst o1 crisis we were united. Now that we are slowly recovering may we maintain and enlarge this unity. May we unite to restore the beauty of our Valley while we strive to rebuild our homes and our industries. If we possess the vision, the will . . . . . and the desire, we can, m cooperatwn with our neighbors, our state and d l h b 1 h d h ·t fi rur e era governments, restore t e est o t e past. An w I e so doing we can create a more beautiful and wholesome environment. This is a dream but America was built by dreamers who were also doers and our Valley was being rebuilt by men. and women of vision who also were doers. Can ~ not work to sustain this dream? There are many agencies at work to provide the instruments for new growth. Let us work with them to build a new and better economy and a more beautiful community. It can be done if we envision it and possess the will to do it. Dr. Eugene S.

The auditorium was · heavily damaged with water covering all but the top six rows of seats. "Operation Snapback" was termed a major success when on July 5, some 10 days after the flood, summer day and evening classes resumed. The early return was a result of the cleanup and the fact that facilities above the first floors were unharmed .

You have the unique distinction of being the first class to enter Wilkes following the June 23 disaster. Never before in the history of the college has the challenge been so great to an incoming class. Not only will you have to face the everyday challenges of a college career, but you are also asked to put up with everyday inconv~niences, such as they are. It is our sincere hope that you wi II be able to put forth the "Spirit of '76" and meet this challenge and come out of college with a deeper understanding of the human spirit. Friday morning, June 23, when everyone in the city of Wilkes-Barre was asked to evacuate, the situation was like something out of a science fiction thriller. The Susquehanna River wrought a great deal of destruction in the entire area to homes, businesses and institutions of higher learning. But the people in the area refused to say die, returning to the area immediately after waters receded on foot, carrying shovels, brooms, mops and other assorted cleaning material. Wilkes College !llet its own challenge, returning to summer and evening classes just 12 days after the disaster. The individuals responsible for this recovery, which many had believed impossible, displayed a great deal of spirit and determination. This was the spirit which greeted you in the fall of 1972 and' it is the same spirit with which we hope you can leave Wilkes College - a more complete individual because of it.

To rectify this , three volley ball nets will be placed on campus . Other sports equiptment ,badminton sets and fri sbees are also available at the housing office.

They will be t-h e Community Interest Committee which will work with reconstruction; a dance and Film Committee; Coffee House Committee~ a Newsletter Committee which will put out a weekly newsletter containing IDC news and student ads ;, the Incoming Freshman Weekend Committee; a Publicity Committee; a nd a Special Events Committee which covers all those activities not covered in other committees .

New furniture, new people, a new class and innovations. The 1972-73 academic year promises to be one of challenges, to say the least. But we feel confident that the student body is capable of handling these challenges, along with faculty and adtninistrators. Each year when students return to campus for the beginning of fal I activities, there are several inconveniences. This year there were a few more as studen ts had endless lines in which to wai t. Surprisingly enough, the Wilkes spirit has prevailed once again - the same spirit t he school exhib its at football games when the Colonels are behind. It was the same spirit that was exhibited early in the summer when hundreds of volunteers came back to the college campus to aid in flood recovery efforts officially dubbed "Operation Snapba~k." Everyone has heard the slogan "Wilkes is coming back - better than ever." Somehow that might seem a little hard to believe as we sit here amid unfinished rooms and boards. But that spirit seems undiminished. We hav~ come through worse things, now we can survive the wrath of the Susquehanna River. Along with the changes have come several new policies, especially in the area of dormitory living. Visitation and unrestricted hours greeted incoming freshmen quite a change -from the 11 p.m. curfew of 1969 for women's dormitories. Yes, the changes are here, and the need is great for the support of the entire student body. It remains up to you to continue with your understanding and support so that Wilkes College can truly come back bigger and better than ever.

With the aid of a few tho1Jsand pounds of microorganisms, we're helping to ·solve the water pollution problem in Rochester. Maybe the solution can help others. What we did was to combine two processes in a way that gives us one ·of the most efficient water-purifying systems private industry has ever developed. One process is called "activated sludge," developed by man to accelerate nature's microorganism adsorption. What this means is that for the majority of wastes man can produce, there is an organism waiting somewhere that will happily assimilate it. And thrive on it. The breakthrough came when Kodak scientists found a way to combine the activated sludge process with a trickling filter process and optimized the combiµation. We tested our system in a pilot plant for five years. kl ( At Kodak, we were working on environmental improvement long before it made headlines.) And the pilot project worked so well, we built a ten-miIIion°dollar plant that can purify 36-million gallons of water a day. Governor Rockefeller called th.is "the biggest voluntary project undertaken by private industry in support of New York State's pure-water program." Why did we do it? Partly because we're in business to make a profit- and clean water is vital to our business. But in furthering our own needs, we have helped further society's. And our business depends on society,. We hope our efforts to cope with water pollution will inspire others to do the same. And, we'd be happy to share our water-purifying information with them. We all need clean water. So we all have to work together.

Hahnema/1n Project Promotes Optimism �THE BEACON Page 2 October 12, Editorially Speaking WiwJ, S~? Security, or the lack of it has come to be a major concern on the Wilkes College campus. For one reason or another, primarily due to losses of electrical facilities during the June flood, there has been a lack of sufficient lighting on the campus. Primary areas of concern include the construction area . along S. River Street, near and around the music building, and the corner of W. Northampton and S. River Streets. If only for safety reasons, · these particular areas should receive sufficient lighting. Planks, nails and other debris present a safety hazard of their own, if not able to be seen. These particular areas also provide refuge for prowlers on the campus. It has go~ten to the point where the female students on campus at night either ask to be escorted from one area to another or do not go out after 8 p.m. This is extremely impractical, since a vast majority of the students have at least one night class a week or meetings to attend. For example, Student Government, Inter-Dormitory Council and Commuter Council all hold meetings in the evening. Students have been making an honest effort to have activities go on virtually as scheduled last year, but the lack of security seems to have dampened the students' spirits considerably. There are a number of male students on campus who would be willing to spend a few hours a week, under the work-study program, in order to supplement the regular school security force. There are currently only five members of_ the security force on campus. These men canmt cover the entire campus. Perhaps with a little help, in an organized fashion, where the students have a set beat, the amount of security on campus could provide a situation whereby no student would be afraid to walk the streets at night.

Student Attacks Wilkes Ignorance - •* To the Editor : If ignorance is bliss, then Wilkes College must be heaven itself. There is no doubt that college campus life is the closest thing to being ·back in the womb--an island, a protective bubble that shelters its inhabitants from that nasty smog outside known as reality . But here it seems to be more incarceration than just protection, with no chance of excape. The fact that there is not a copy of the daily morning newspaper to be had anywhere on or near this campus is incredible. Worse, however, is the fad that no one here even gives a damn . A small example, granted, but one from which the feeling permeating this campus can be extracted. The ambivalence--the lethargy--the total disinterest in that real world is outrageously apparent. Is this the school's fault for not scheduling 15 minutes of calesthen- · ics and current events every morning - or not scheduling ''Reality 101" at sometime more convenient than "NOW"? Is it the catatonic effect qf the bustling burg in which we 're situated? Or does the problem lie in the fact that the students just don't give a damn? Yours, "Beacon," should be the guiding light if not the igniting spark on this wilted campus. You, it would seem, hold the last line of communication between the students and the real world. Last week's editorial spoke of chaggenge - are you willing to accept the responsi' bility and the challenge that is yours? It must begin somewhere. Let's get on with it. Cheaj: -Thrills .

It's called honest-to-God Canine College and there I was with my little dog and her little neck and a choke chain and a long leash and thirty other dogs and their pets. Canine College. The education establishment for dogs and their masters the Harvard of dog schools, with tuition to match. We were told not to br ing our dogs to the first lesson. Like the PTA. So we could learn what we'd be learning. There were youngsters, grandmas, proud parents. A big ma n passed Polaroids around of his huge St. Bernard leaping at his wife. "Isn't she cute?" he said. "You have a lovely wife," his neighbor said. "Not my wife - my dog, Teeny," he growled. A little lady whispered in my ear. "My husband and I weren't fortunate enough to have a college education. That's why we want our Maxie to go to college." " Quiet, shut up and no," barked the nasal instructor who talked as if she'd just swallowed a n adenoid. " In the next twelve weeks, we' re going to learn to heel our dogs, to make them sit and other things, too. And when they don't obey, choke them hard -- hard . They'll cry and whine and yelp , but when they do-- snap -- choke them . Remember, obedience means never having to say you 're sorry." And then she demonstrated on her arm with a li ttle chain that she 'd snap whenever her arm wouldn't sit or heel. A week la ter , we brough t our dogs and left our grandmothers home. Pavlov would have been proud . No one salivated except the owners , but the dogs did learn some new tr icks . Oh , not how to heel or sit or lay down or anything complicated like that.But how to shut up when they were choked, which I guess is important in a dog 's daily life. I had visions of graduation day when my dog would fetch her diploma. For an hour , we walked around in circles. If your dog doesn 't walk close to your leg , pull the leash hc1rd and -snap. If your dog doesn't sit -- snap. If yoµr dog fe tches and you haven't said "fetch" -- snap. · 'Remember, dog lovers ," the instructor said. " You are the master . If your dog doesn't behave -- snap," she said , pulling the choke chain around the wrist that wasn't in a cast. But finally it was over and the instructor said we should go out and " empty our dogs out ," as she put it, although most of our dogs had already emptied themselves out, in . On the way home my dog sat in the front seat of the car gagging . F inally , she caught her breath , looked up at me a nd spoke. "Why a re you doing this to me'O" she said. " If you wa nted me to sit , why didn 't you just ask me like a normal creature ? Believe me, I would have sitten." "Sat," I corrected . "Sat. Gosh, do you ever need schooling ." " Okay , sat. So big deal. I made a mistake. But I'm not going back to that place -- all that choking and yelping ." "You are because," I said, " I want you to learn to behave." " Behave, shmave. All you 'd have to do is ask me nicely and politely and I'd behave. Anyway, I'm going to drop out. " " No you 'r e not. I'll cut you off without a milkbone if you do ." "Big deal. I'll run away. I'll get a little place of my own . Or I'll join a canine commune. I don 't like this school. I want to go to a free school where we don't have all these strict requi rements and where we can learn at our own pace and where I can do my own thi ng. And all those Teenies and Fu-Fus and Maxies . Ugh. Those a ren 't names for real dogs ." " Shut up , Zsa Zsa . You'll do what you're told." "What do you car e? I'm the only dog in the class who · isn 't purebred. A spaniel asked me where my papers were , and I told her that I don't use papers anymore now that I'm housebroken, and she laughed at me. She said I must ha ve been bused ·her e." We drove in silence for awhile and then : " Hey watch out--you 'll hit that kid on the bike.' ' More silence. ''You know , thi ~ isn 't the kind of education you believe in . I thought you believed in freedom of expression and liberation of soul. How will I ever find out Who I Am and Where I'm Going with all that regimentation and choking? What do you want, that I should be on Ed Sullivan or something , jumping through hoops of fire? " "The Ed Sullivan Show was canceled, stupid?" " Yeah . ' That's another thing---you'll only let me watch educational TV now . What am I ever going to do with Sunrise Semester Intermediate Spanish and Japanese cooking?" "I am doing this for your own good . Someday you'll ., thank' me." That was yesterday, Today I went back to classes and homework and examinations and grades. I · can't understand-it. All day I've had this sharp snapping pain around my neck . �Page 6 Candlelight Dinner No Longer A Treat THE BEACON 'Sha Na Na' Concert Discussed SG CON DEMNS SECURI Trailers became home for other campus employees who bought their own trailers and positioned them on key locations on the Wilkes College Campus. Such was the case with Nelson Carle, superintendent of buildings and grounds. He is shown here with Charles Abate, College Business Manager. Dining by candlelight is one thing any young couple might enjoy occasionally. But when the same couple has to eat by candlelight, work by candlelight, cook by candlelight and eventually move by candlelight , it becomes quite another story - one that would try even the most patient soul.

Possible remedies for the situation include the creation of a student security force and improved lighting for Chase Hall , River St. and other critical areas . SG Vice-President Bob Linaberry noted that "the security force on our campus does need a little boost" and that students were in the best position to help . Also mentioned were the possible legal implications of such action. Due to a procedural t~chnicality, SG had to re-uphold all their motions made during their September 27 meeting. Apparently, SG suspended their rules for a short time when they didn't have a quorum . Motions made during that time were void and had to be reconsided. SG argued around the feasibility of designing their own newsletter . Many members expressed disappointment with the Beacon's ability to completely cover SG meetings . Their newsletter would provide comprehensive breakdowns of voting and debate . IDC President Jim Fiorino discussed an idea to bring in a campus ministry . He and Ann Shifano met with priests and nuns from St. Nicks and St. Marys to explore the concept. SG President Mike Barski stated, "It's well worth our time to look into." An attempt to cancel the speech by People 's Bicentennial Representative Ed Swartz failed . Brynley James claimed that the student body simply isn 't interested in the event and the $500 fee would constitute a "misuse of funds." Tickets for the Homecoming concert featuring " Sha Na Na" are on sale this week. Concert Chairman Linaberry announced that the affair would be held in the gym. The chairs will be reserved and the bleachers are to be used for general admission. IDC President Fiorino asked if there could be any re-occurance of the events that took place during the "Byrds " concert last year . Linaberry assured everyone that no more tickets would be printed than there are seats. Commuter Council President Buddy Brezinski admitted that despite publicity, "the shuttle bus is failing miserably." Day-hops just don 't want to park at Ralston field . A political debate, scheduled and moderated by CC President Brezinski , will be held November 1, at 7 p.m. in the C.P .A. The debate will encompass the issues of the '72 presidential election.

Robert E. Werner has been appointed chairman of the Wilkes Department of Commerce and Finance, succeeding Dr .

According to Dr. Werner, part of the problem concerning student 1 1~ today centers around the relation_.,........,_ _, os. ship of the professor to the student. Dr. Werner states, "To illustrate my position , I believe that the professor should occu·py a rather special relationship with the student. I believe the professor's contact with the student personifies the institution, it is a point of contact with the institution. " Few intlividuals, as proven in business firms can identify with the concept of the ideal of the dirm without some human contact. This contact is mad~ through a particular individual or a group. In business, according to Dr. Werner, the foreman is the company personified. On a college level, the professor is the institution personified.

Seeing many of the famous name ath le tes you read about, an d listening to the conversations , ideas and question , which they were trying to con vey to each othe r was interesting . Most popular tr adition of the pre-Olympic competition was trading of pins between the athletes of the different countries . I traded my only two pins with Russian wrestling coaches. That was all I had to trade , unfortunately I didn 't take a lot of pins from home to trade with the coa ches of different countries. My daughter , Megan , managed to get a Japanese and Philippine pin while we were tpere. The old veter ans of the Olympic com petition wer e well prepared and had many pins to trade.

Agreeing with the late Dr. Mailey, Shaw believes that the Institute's greatest asset is gaining the respect and trust of the college and the community. Without the co-operation and responsiveness of the school administration, Shaw stated that it would be diffic ult to even begin to establish his progra ms. During the course of this interview, one theme was prevalent : "that Wlkes College is Wyoming Valley 's greatest asset. A dynamic college educates and serves not only its students but the community as a whole ." The future may be slowed by financial difficulties, apathy and resentment, but the Institute and similar organizations attempt to break up the log jams of tradition, corruption and incompetence that have long retarded the growth of the Valley.

Whenever an article appears in the Beacon, it is obviously fair game for any member of the campus community to criticize errors of news judgement, coverage or events. These same people sometimes carry their arguments into the classroom situation. Yet, there is an easy out - or perhaps, a not-so-easy out._ For, it demands at least 15 minutes of your time. It involves sitting down at a typewriter and - quite simply voicing your opinion in a letter to the editor. It almost appears · as if members of the Wilkes Com. munity are afraid to stand up for what they believe is right. It becomes a matter of simply saying, "THEY wouldn't print it anyway." Try us. In many cases we simply don't have the staff available to cover each and every event on campus. This is where you, the Wilkes College Community, comes in.

" Feminine Perspecsin French Literature" is a 300 ·es sem inar open to all students. course will be ta ught in E nglish slation fo r non-la nguage majors J\liss Mary Lou Lovette . he seminar will utilize French rature from the 13th century to present da y. The aim of the rse is not to ma ke wide-eyed atics of the 22 fema le members of class, but to help them gain a n areness of their feminine and an condition . This will be omplished by reading and ussing the works famo us nch auhors such as Moliere , cine, Diederot, Fla ubert , Si m ne de Deauvoir and other s. Miss Lovette sta ted tha t as a ole, the class was disappointed t no men were involved in the rse, but this has not prevented e spirited a nd challenging ussions among the female dents. All of the readings , which used as supplements to the do not agree in ilosophy or approach . " The mance of the Rose " by Jean de ng and "The Girls " by Henri de ntherlant are examples of blatant or sexist attitudes . A fr an k discussion of fema le sexua lity is found in "The Second Sex " by Simone de Beauvoir that is far ahead of its time. The only pro blem encounter ed by Miss Lovette is the scarcity of E nglish transla ti ons of wo rks by other French authors such as Madame de Stael and Henri-Marie Beyle Stendha l. She won wholehearted suppor t from Dr .Michael Sietz, head of the Foreign Language Departm ent, when the idea for a course of this type was proposed last semester . By using thi s sem ina r as the cor e, Miss Lovette hopes to build a women's studi es depa rtment. When as ked the pur pose of- the course, Miss Lovette explained it was mea nt fo r the student who m a y not be a n a ctive participan t in the wom en 's movem ent , but who is interestPr:l in broadening her (or his) knowledge and understa nding of certain cus toms and traditions concerning the treatment and station of wom en.

Marywood, Scra nton University, Ma nsfield State, E ast Stroudsburg Sta te, Lycoming , Williams port Community and the Hazleton and Lehm an extensions of P e nn State. The majority of these colleges had a Campus Ministry Organization of their own prior to the progress meeting. The m eeting ha d a dual purpose : the first was to check on the progress of the colleges which a lready have on-ca mpus m inistries ; the other was to integra te the Organiza tion into the operations of the colleges which didn 't. F a ther Bendick, of St. Pius X Ministr y, organized and conduc ted the m eeting and was assis ted by Buddy Snyder , the student r epresenta tive from E ast Stroudsburg State. After an open discussion between the pri ests, nuns and students , the group divided into two individual discussion sessions. Father Bendick headed a discussion among the priests and nuns while Snyder took charge of the inter-collegiate " student rap-session." Fiorino and Miss Fisher returned to Wilkes with the intent of creating a chapter of the Campus Ministry Organization here. After a meeting with Father Adonizio, of St. Mary 's Parish, the duo decided to open discussion of the program with . Student Government. After all arguments were heard, SG created a committee to examine the concept fully . Soon after , the Wilkes Campus Ministry was initiated. As of yet, there are no additional activities scheduled other than the Saturday nights' service . There will be a state convention in the near future and held at Indiana University of Pennsylvania .

Mothe rs a nd Other Strange rs Li ke nearly every other mother in the world , my Mother told me never to tal k to strangers. As a child I kept my m outh shut in public buses, tra ins, restaurants and restrooms, I went through the formative years pointing a lot. -Everyday before I'd walk to school , alone, my Mother would whisper in my ear , "Now be sure not to talk to strangers. Or you'll be sorry." And Cha irman Mom is a real pro at her own teachings . She leaves notes for the milkman, turns away the Avon lady, and doesn't use a mouthwash , "just so people won't be tempted to ta lk to me." "Me, she-talks to," my Father laments . "How did I ever get so lucky?" Recently, my 14-year old brother, Barry, and I got together when nobody was looking . He told me that his teache r , Mr. Elm m , sent home a note to my mother . "Ba r ry is uncom municative a nd does not par take in classroom discuss ion . P lease come in to see me." So my Mother dragged in and sat in conference in Mr. Elmm 's office . " Wh y is it that Barry won' t ta lk in class? " he asked. " He wo n't ta lk to his peers ." . " P eers , shmeers, " m y Mother told him . " I told the boy not to .talk to stra ngers ." " But I don 't unde rstand .. . " "You will never unders tand , Mr . Elmm , until you've been a i:rother ." . Las t week , she called m e up to see if everything was going well. " So listen ," she sa id . " Now that you li ve away fr om home , you clon 't talk to a nyone , do you ? " " Of course! not. " " You don 't talk to anyone ? How're you ever going to meet anyone if you don 't talk to a nyone ?" " But you told me not to talk to strangers ... " " .. .. or you 'll be sorry. Remember that. " " Well , at what point does a stranger become someone you ca n talk to ?" " When he becomes your mother ." " Mom , didn't you ever talk to a stranger? " " Ye~, once. And look what happened to me. " " What happened? " " I married your father ." My mother also applies her philosophy to strangers -like the President of the United States . "You see ," she said, " if that man had li stened to hi s .• mother and not talked to strangers , we'd be getting along with other countries now ." She looked up startled "You're going to argue with a mother? " And history is not exempt from Mother 's adage . " If that girl Juliet had listened to her mother and not talked to strangers, she 'd be- alive today ." I visited a fri e nd in New York last month a nd spent ha lf the day findin g someone who'd stop long enough to give m e di recti ons. " I don 't un ders ta nd it ," I told my fri end . " No one will ta lk to me in thi s city . What is it with these people? " "What can I tell you ?" m y fri end told me. "Everyone in the city of New York has a mother who told him not to tal k to strangers. In fac t, if my Mom knew I was talki ng to you right now , she'd murder me ." Recently , I told my pa rents that I would be coming home that weekend for a visit. When I called , I talked to my F a ther beca use m y Mother was out a t bridge -" E ither play ing or j umping off, I'm not sure which "he said. ' · An hour later my Mother called .

Degrees In Nursing To Be Avvarded At Wilkes McGovern Forces Seen In Long Uphill Battle . . ' by Gary Horning . The campaign trail in which ' only one party is actually doing any campaigning, has taken on a new note . Instead of beating a dead horse i.e. , the Watergate Affair, International Telephone and Telegraph , and yes , even the war, George McGovern has turned forces towards his single most powerful campaign weapon ; his cha racter versus that of President Richard Nixon's. he needs more and bigger funds to The polls which McGovern has so financ e a media campaign aimed at steadfas tly refused to acknowledge nine half-hour television shows. have long indicated that the Vietnam But the picture remains to be bleak Wa r is simply no longer a ma jor fo r the thousands of McGovern campaign issue in the eyes of a bout volun teers throughout the country . 70 per cent of the voters.

Yet , it seems to stand little American people no longer give a ch ance of survival. da:n~- thus comes the moral issue . Somehow Amer icans have always gi ven a damn about moral issues and George McGovern intends to exploit that issue to its fullest extent. McGovern , according to " Newsweek" magazine, has even lost the credibility issue to Nixon. A recent Gallop poll showed President Nixon nolding a three to one edge as the more sincere of the two men . "McGovern has lost the credibility issue," said one aid. "There's no wa y he can get it back in time ." The credibility issue was lost with Senator Thom~s Eagleton . That unfortunate affair smell s as badly to many Americans as does Watergate, International Telephone and T~legraph and hasty defense spendmg put together.

Nixon ' fo r that matter' will campaign perhaps one day a week , until the polls indica te more public exposure is _necessary. Thal may be never . McGovern is having fi nancial problem s as well.

We also gave him the right to fail. At Kodak, it's not unusual for a 25-year-old like Jim Carroll to win the title of senior research physicist. Like any company involved in a lot of basic research, Kodak has felt the pressure of modern technology and the need for young, fresh thinking. So we hire the best talent we possibly can,' and then give them as much responsibility as they can handle. Whatever their age. We have departments and divisions, like any company. What we don't have are preconceived ideas about how an expert scientist's time should be spent. So when we received a request from the medical community for assistance in experimenting with lasers as a possible cal1cer treatment, we turned to 25-year-old Jim Carroll, who is deep in laser tech- nology, and gave him the go-ahead. He built two half-billion watt laser systems, one of which Kodak has donated t'o the National Institute of Health. The lasers proved unsuccessful in treating cancer, but we'd make the same decision all over again. We entered laser technology because we have a stake in business. We let a young researcher help the medical community look for a means of cancer treatment because we have a stake in the future of mankind. To put it another way, we're in business to make a profit. But in furthering our own needs, we have often furthered society's. After all, our business depends on our society. So we .care what happens to it.

The three try . questions as : " Why e stressed you over the other 'What modern trends The applicant is , by no means , to be docile , passive and indifferent while seeking the job. The teacher-applicant should be anxious to learn the answers to questions such as : " What is the ethnic background in this school district ?," " What grading system is used ?," "What are the conditions of the work contract ?," " How are students grouped ?," " What are the salary and fringe benefits of the job?" and " What kind of freedom will teachers have in a classroom ? " Following his speech Dr. Holbert adroitly answered questions asked by various members of the Education Club . He remarked that student aiding and student teaching would definitely be an asset to Wilkes students who have had experience in nongraded schools because Abington Heights has plans of becoming completely non-graded by 1975. The question was raised " What things have been accomplished in the Abington school district on the secondary level?" Dr . Holbert smiled and answered, "Several innovations have been instituted in the Abington Heights school district , including elimination of fina l exams, elective programs in social studies, mini courses in industrial arts, independent study in sciences for exceptional pupi ls and a revolving schedul e whereby a student would no t have the same subject every day Clean-Up Slated The newly formulat ed Wilkes Community Effort Progra m , under the student direction of Steve Apaliski , has slated the clean up of Kirby Park in Kingston as its first major project on Saturday at 10 a.m .

From that point on the Wilkes line continued to rush the cage and score seven more times.

Credit was given to Halfbacks Lindsay Farley, Stephanie Pufko and Sue Ditson who did a commendable job kl•eping the ball up to the offensive .

Assist on the goals came from Donna Doncses with three. Kathy Haughey with two and llae Greene and Stephanie Pufko each being credited with one .

Editorially Speaking Vote - It!s Your Right , Next Tuesday, millions of Americans all over the United ., ' States will be going to the polls to record their vote -on a major issue - the election of a man who will govern the United States for the next four years. Among these people will be 11 million newly enfranchised voters approaching the ballot box, 18-year-olds, college students. There are a nu.mber of questions to be .considered in this election, and the newly enfranchised vo~r cannot afford to sit out this election on tl'\e grou_nds that his vote won't make any difference. First of all, the candidates vying for the Presidency differ widely in ideology and outlook. The new voter who refuses to cast a ballot is shirking the responsibility he claimed he .deserved. Shirking this responsibility invites the smuggest "I told you so" from the cynics and the skeptics. Unemployment, or future unemployment in the case of col~ege graduates comes into question. The candidate you might choose has the power of raising or lowering the unemployment rate in this country. By refusing to vote, the student invites inattention to his causes and guarantees that his interests will not be served . Remember, the right is yours - if you vote. A Job Well Done The Beacon would like to take this opportunity to con gratulate Miss Barbara McNicholl and her staff for a job well done on the 1972 Amnicola, Wilkes College yearbook. Art work, combined with poetry served to make the Amnicola not only an attractive publication but also a meaningful one. Too often, as is the case with an annual publication, the person, or people responsible are not around to view the resu Its of their efforts. It is also usually the case that a majority of the work done rests on the shoulders. of one individual, or a small group. Again, too often the only words these people hear are those of discouragement - what is wrong or what should ,have been done. Our sincere thanks 13nd best wishes gcf to Miss McNicholl for a job well done. Editor-in-chief . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . - .. • Marietta Bednar News Editor . . . Feature Editor .

Personally, I can · remember occasions where permission was granted last year. We were told that this was school policy and no .exception could be granted and it was 1suggested that the New Men 's Dorm .would be open all evening and that we should go there for the night to study. The alternative plan of studying in the New Men's Dorm sounds logical, · but would it really be wise to have a co-ed walking back to her dorm at 3 i a .m. , or consider the double standard .that women can sleep on the couches in the men 's dorm and yet it is highly . illegal for men to stay in the lounge of · the women's dorm. Also, the inconvenience and general lack of · facilities in the New Men's Dorm is not particularly adaptive to a student pulling an "all-nighter. " Obviously, someone is too wrapped 1p in the legality of rules , that a simple and safe exception to a policy cannot be granted or considered by the proper authority . Perhaps we should move to change the entire school policy for 24-hour open · housing since a legitimate exception to the rule will be considered ;i hsurrl. ·ii -iif", -* : / ·, - · •- . · · . · * .- ** Cheap* ·Thrills ... * * November2 Men 's Intramural Football....

WILL DISCUSS REASONABLE RATES. - Not everyone seems to realize that charging phone calls to a fraudulent credit card number is against the law. And that the law sets heavy penalties for violators. In this state, there's a fine of up to $500 -or one year in jail-or both . {In some states, fines range as high as $10,000, with jail sentences of up to 10 years.) Modern electronic computer systems are making it increasingly easy to track down offenders. And the Telephone Company will not tolerate fraudulent calling , no matter who the offender may be. The penalties may seem harsh for something that may be done out of thoughtlessness. But the fact remains: The law does not look on phone fraud as a lark. @ee11 of Pennsylvania �THE BEACON Page 7 rpur, Madison FDU Defeat Wilkes Boaters GRIDIRON GUESSES utkiewicz ifured In ur Match by Ray McNulty WILKES VS LEBANON VALLEY onels' soccer team at the wee kposted a 3-7-1 record ointing defeats to Harpur Madison FDU (5-2) . rueling overtime struggle at Ralston Field the occer team was set back Binghamton team by 2-0. through the second half onels suffered ' a big ge whe n goalie Marty wicz was knoc ked unconremoved from the match. point, goalie Pobutkiewicz pressive ondefense with 14 r which he was replaced n goalie Steve Chaldorff. ton's first overtime goal red by Line Weaver with nd was followed by.Feyyaz "th 2:03 left. alto Binghamton gave the 3-6-1 record going into the th Madison FDU.

HOCKEY by Laraine Mancuso and Donna Doncses The Wilkes Hockey team traveled to Millersville State on Tuesday and suffered its most crushing defeat of the season with a score of 8-1. Wilkes knew that this would not be an easy game ~Millersville came into the match undefeated , with their season record at 6-0-1. The Millersville forward line was a highly disciplined unit with all its members working together for the past three years . Their precision passing and excellent offensive strategy proved too much for the Wilkes defense. The Millersville offense was its own defense , blocking up Wilkes' free hits and intercepting passes . This allowed Millersville to keep the ball up in the Wilkes half of the field and stay on the attack . For Wilkes, goalie Laraine Mancuso displayed an outstanding defensive effort tallying 20 saves. Coac h Gay Meyers felt that "the score was not indicative of the caliber of hockey played by Wilkes ." Mrs. Meyers also felt that "this type of play experience is necessary for preparation for tournament play." The loss brings · the Colonettes ' record to 4-2-1 , with their final match of the season played Tuesday at Bucknell . ..

We don't make a lot of noise, but this is where it's really happening. You see, a large corporation like Kodak has the resources and the skill to make this world a little more decent place to live. And we intend to do what we can to see that this is exactly what happens. Toke our home city, Rochester, New York for example. We cut water pollution in the Genesee River by using natural bacteria to dispose of unnatural wastes. We cut air pollution by using electrostatic precipitators in a new combustible waste disposal facility. We helped set up a black enterprise program in downtown Rochester, and we've been experimenting with film as a way to train both teachers and students-including some students who wouldn't respond to anything else. And we didn't stop with Rochester. Kodak is involved in 47 countries all over the world. Actively involved. NI Why? Because it's good business. Helping to clean the Genesee River not only benefits society ... but helps protect another possible source for the clean water we need to make our film. Our combustible waste disposal facility not only reduces pollution ... but just about pays for itself in heat and power production and silver recovery. Our black enterprise program not only provides an opportunity for the economically disadvantaged ... but helps stabilize communities in which Kodak can operate and grow. And distributing cameras and film to teachers and students not only helps motivate the children .. . but helps create a whole new market. In short, it's simply good business. And we're in business to make a profit. But in furthering our business interests, we also further society's interests. And that's good. After all, our business depends on society. So we care what happens to it. Kodak More than a business. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
