At a recent student life committee meeting the question of library policy ana noise came up once again. The very fact that it illicited moans and groans of "here we go again," is evidence of the fact that the library has become a sore spot on the annual list of housekeeping chores on the Wilkes College campus. One only has to look into past issues of the "Beacon" dated 1962, 1965, 1969, 1970, 1971. The list is endless and the complaints qre basically the same: insufficient hours; lack of a sufficient staff to operate the library should the hours be extended and the noise level in the building itself. There is currently a proposal in the drafting stages for action by Student Government for the extension of library hours. There is a very real need, especially now with the small inconveniences encountered in the dormitories for a place to study after 9:45 p.m. Yes, the time is correct, although the posted hours for cl_osing is 10 p.m. At 9:45 or sometimes at 9:30 students are given a warning to finish up and get out of the library. Lights are flashed on and off to indicate closing. In short, the students · are deprived of 15 minutes to a half hour of study time. Sound insignificant? It isn't as simple as it sounds. Professors have gone out of their way this year to provide their students with the supplementary material necessary for any given course. A convenient way of allowing the class to read upon outside material is to put a copy of the book or periodical on reserve in the library. It then becomes a student's responsibility to get the material. ~tudents pushing a tight schedule can more often than not benefit from those extra few minutes of uninterrupted study, in order to finish a reading assignment. It isn't as if he could just pick up his books and do the studying elsewhere. Another sore spot concerning the library is the excessive amount of noise, sometimes to the point of shouting that goes on at certain times of the day. Students complain constantly that it is impossible to study in the library, yet fail to act as their own , watchdogs for their own best interests by simply requesting the noise makers to either respect their right or get out. Yet a considerable part of the library noise is actually constructive intellectual exchange. If this is the case, there should be some way of providing for both types of students. We would hope the library and administrative staffs would consider the library as a very real issue this year and look into the possibility of extending hours and creati-ng "zones·" in the building that would allow for various types of creative thinking and studying. Students who wanted intensive study alone might be directed to the third floor, while students desiring to. study in groups could occupy the basement. There are any number of possibilities. The library is the key center for any educational institution, it should be given the same priorities. Think about it. Is the Wilkes College Library the ideal student study haven?

The win stopped a losing streak of two games for the Blue and Gold who now boast a 4-3 record . Quarterbacks Jeff Giberson, Mike Barski and Greg Snyder combined for 16 of 25 completions, three touchdowns and 314 yards via passes. Old team record for passing yardage was 278 set last season at Muskingum College. Giberson Sharp Giberson connected on 13 oho for 238 yards while Snyder was completing his first pass ever as a Colonel. Missing from the starting line-up were Andy Check' (shoulder separation ) and Tom Boshinski ( broken fingers ). Their re'placements were Jim Yanora and Bob Mazzitelli respectively . Fred L?hman, freshman from Valley West, had his best game of the year as he gamed 121 yards on 32 carries with one touchdown run . Rollie Schmidt had praise for the offensive line: John Holland , Bill Metzger , Rich Lorenzon, Bob Mazzitelli, Joe Dettmore and Tom Panetta. Their yeoman efforts were largely responsible for the 466 total yards on offense. Wilkes won the coin toss and elected to receive . Marianacci brought the kick up the middle for a 25-yard gain . After three plays netted only nine yards, Blaum boomed a · punt to the 17-yard line where Lohman made a crunching tackle. The visitors from Annville down in Pennsylvania Dutch country were rudely met in their first series of downs by Lack , Deacon and Galicki. The punt by Koons was downed at the 48-yard line. Wilkes Sco1·es Behind the methodical passes from Giberson to Sillup and Horan the Colonels moved the ball downfield. Big play in the drive came as Giberson drilled the ball to John Collins, who made the reception in heavy traffic at the 3-yard line. Yanora then blasted in for the score. Blaum's PAT was blocked and Wilkes led 6-0 with 8:23 left in the first quarter . The Colonels got a bad break after forcing the visitors to punt : The punt hit a Wilkes blocker and was recovered by Lebanon Valley . With a third down and 11 at the Wilkes 26-yard line Harris passed to Hussay for the score. The PAT kick was wide as the score was tied at 6-6. Marianacci took the kickoff and raced it to the 46-yard line of Lebanon Valley as he was tackled by the last man between him and paydirt. The Colonels moved the ball but were forced to punt after a pass interference call nullified a great gain by Lohman on a screen pass. With a former professional football player (Gary Collins, flanker for Cleveland Browns) as an assistant coach it was only natural that they should take to the airways. But Rich Masi quickly came up with the interception . Both teams failed to move the ball consistently as the first period ended in a 6-6 deadlock . The Colonels began·to click on their passing game as the second stanza began. First a pass to Lohman and then a pass to Horan. A 29-yard pass to Horan brought a nother score._Blaum 's PAT was good and Wilkes led 13-6. The Wilkes College football Colonels sport ten players who were local All-Scholastics. They are from left to · row: George Abraltam, Dave Howe, Don Kulick, Steve Leskiw and Fred Lohman; 2nd row: Terry Blaum, Bob M Bill Metzger, Frank Galicki, and Tom Bradshaw. 1_~... j~~...l~# Defensive tackle is a punishing position and it takes a special breed of man to play it well. He doesn't receive the publicity of a quarterback or a running back and the only reward he received for doing his job is a pat on the rear from his teammates and an opponent's cleat mark on his helmet. But Joe Pavill, the stalky 230 pound tackle for the Colonels , just looks on the obscurity of his position as a way of life . He is a dedicated bal!J>layer and come Saturday afternoon, fame or no fame , he puts it all on the line for the Wilkes College Colonels.

Look led by quarterback George Yokitis to win by a 24-14 margin Defense Excels An aroused, agile, alert Colonel defense thwarted three running plays and then capped their efforts with a blocked punt by Craig Deacon. Rich Lack fell on the loose ball for the Colonels. Runs by Bean , Lohman and Yanora moved the ball to the two-yard line where Lohman hurdled over for the score. Blaum 's kick was wide as Wilkes led 19-6. Lebanon Valley took the kickoff as Dave Check made the tackle. Then halfback Koons made the best run of the game as he rambled to the Wilkes 22-yard line . The Blue and Gold front four asserted itself and helped cause four incompleted passes. Mike Barski came in and moved the offense as the half ended with Wilkes sporting a 19-6 lead . Wilkes kicked to start the second half. The defense promptly proved they still had their momentum as they forced a punt. The game then settled down to a defensive battle as the teams traded punts. The mighty Wilkes offense controlled the ball but failed to score in the third quarter . As the fourth period opened Giberson hit frosh end George Abraham with a pass and the big end broke two tackles in rolling to a first down. Wilkes was then forced to punt but quickly got possession as the Big D led by Galicki (who else?), Ratchford and Grandinetti. Giberson started to connect on passes to Lohman and Matusek . However the drive was halted on a Tony Calabreese interception. Dave Howe made the tackle on Calabreese as he saved what might have been a touchdown. Methodically the Blue and Gold defense smothered the Flying Dutchman offense. Wilkes regained possession with 4:55 left in the game. Howe Snags Bombs Refusing to sit on the lead Giberson took to the airways where he found Howe on a 40-yard score. Blaum 's PAT was good as Wilkes opened a .....commanding 26-6 lead. Following the kickoff Marianacci made his fifth interception of the season . Fred, only a freshman , has a chance with two games remaining to lie or break Jay Holiday's record of seven interceptions for a season set in 1968. The scoring parade was not ended for the day as Greg Snyder , heir apparent to Giberson , lofted a bomb to Howe who raced over for the score. Snyder then booted the PAT and the Colonels led 33-6. Coach Schmidt emptied his bench with slightly more than two minutes in the game. The reserves held the lead as Wilkes won by 33-6.

Most coaches wou ld cringe at the thoughts of a 1-11 record but not George Pawl ush. who performs the cross country coaching chores as a sidelig ht to his regular sports publicity duties. "We would like nothing better than to come out on top, but as long as everybody is enjoy ing himself and performing to the best of his abi lity, the participation is all worth it," he said. Cross coun try is a thankless, and more often than not, a spectatorless sport. Two harrier faithfuls who have not missed a home meet in two years arc Wilkes administrators Ben Moses, registrar, and Bernie Vinovorski , director of eveni ng and summer school. Leading their respecti ve divisions in intramural footba ll this week are Grissom and Webster, both J-0 in the American Division , Slocum in the Nationa l Division J-0 and Colonels a nd Dirksen in the Central Division, both 1-0.

As a result of a Jack Fetch TD and a Joe Dux safely, Colonels bumped off Gore Hall, 8-2 , while Dirksen notched their first win , a 12-0 sh utout over Bruch Hall. But Bruch Hall r ebounded in their next contest. snapping a three year - yes "year" - losing streak by whipping Gore 6-0.

They serve as permanent fans and also as chief clerk " starter and timer respec ti vely . The actual 4.7 mile Wilkes meet course , which begins and ends at the Ralston football field, is located entirely in the confines of Kirby Park . "Along with most of the area high schools, King's, and Luzerne County Community College, we do most of our training at Kirby Park," Pawlush s tated . ·'but we also like to do some road running in Plains and Giants Despair to get accustomed to hilly conditions ." During the course of a two-month season the Wilkesmen logged close to 300 miles of running . The Colonels received their baptism of fire last fall , posting a 2-10 record while recording wins over Cheyney State and Lebanon Valley . Although their actual slate was worse this time around, the Blue and Gold showed definite improvement over their maiden effort. "We had only six runners out in 1971 and injuries really hurt us in the closing weeks of the season," the Colonel mentor said. Depth was no problem this fall as ten students turned out for the start of practice sessions in September . "Thank goodness injuries didn 't plague us this year, only the strength of our opponents. " Pawlush said . Most of the Colonel's foes field year-round track programs which in turn aides in recruiting talented high school athletes. Despite a lackluster start, things are looking up at the Wilkes cross country program . . , " Experience is the key, " Pawlush observed, " I'm also sure that we are going to attract many of our local high school runners who will want to stay home ." Only number two man , Gary Horning. will be lost through graduation . The n'maindcr of the squad should r eturn intact. Top Wilkes runner this year was junior Jere Woods, a native of Wharton, N.J . Woods was the most consistent Colonel harrier this fall, posting two first. three second. and two third-place finishes .

Judy Sanger likes all of these and is active enough in the first two to know that she does. This music education major from Livingston, N. J ., resides in Sullivan Hall and is a senior. Her interest in the theater has existed for a long time, but she never really got into it until college. In her freshman year, she tried out for a part and achieved her goal. This encouraged her to go on . Since that, Judy has been in "Stage Door," "Chamber Music," "Skin of Our Teeth, " "Guys and Dolls. " "Playboy of the Western World ," and directing finals . Her musical interests also have been given much activity . Her musical career has included the Madriga_ls , the Chorus and the Intercollegiate. She has also been in operas .done - by the Music Department, and has conducted the Choralettes. . Judy related to her character, Dolly Levy, in that both are flighty. She feels that Dolly Levy is more confident than she is, but is happy with the part because, "This is the first play in which I've gotten a man in the end ." .JOHNKYC Horace Vandergelder, the Yonkers merchant and egotistical old man on " The Matchmaker", has been played by men on Broadway , in summer stock, and other high schools and colleges. At Wilkes College, Vandergelder is played by a sophomore from North Arlington , N. J . John Kye , a resident of Colonels House in the New Men 's Dorm , doesn 't feel any relationship to his role, but his talents allow him to Jive the character. Al though undecided on a major , he is certainly not undecided on his interest in acting. John has always been a movie buff, which he feels started him on the road to his acting career. He began serious acting in high school productions ana in community summer stock productions. His acting career at Wilkes has included roles in: "Lion in Winter" and "Inherit the Wind". As an actor and as a hobbyist, John tries to interpret plays, to improvise on the scenes and to insert himself into the characterizations. John has been a member of the IDC and a lso has interests in painting and drawing . \ DON NASH The role of Cornelius Hackl , menial clerk to Vandergelder, is played by Don Nash, a biology major from Nichols , New York. A sophomore resident of Warner House , Don has been interested in the theater since high school, where he was in a few productions. Last year he was in "You Can't Take It With You ." Don has been active in track and cross country at Wilkes . Outside interests include bow hunting, trap shooting a nd fishing. Don relates fo his past as Cornelius because of the difference between him and Cornelius . Whereas Cornelius is undecisive , reserved and has an inferiority complex, Don feels he is the exact opposite. This, he feels, makes the part more enjoyable to him . RUTHANNE JONES Ruthanne Jones plays Mrs . Molloy , the reserved widow of " The Matchmaker." Ruthanne , a junior from Forty Fort , is a sociology major with a good interest in the theater. Her career at Wilkes began in her sophomore year when she played in "You Can't Take It With You." Since Then, she has been in "Inherit the Wind " and " Trial by Jury." Ruthanne is also as talented in music as she is in the theater. She has -------------I ~-------------· I .. "We are looking for a student to I Iseli our , 8 track tapes.

Security Revisited A question of campus security has once again come to our attention. Or perhaps, the question never died in the first place. We wonder if the Administration is in fact aware of the deep concern being expressed by a number of students as to the type of security available on the Wilkes College campus. Most students are asked to phone security in the event of a prowler. However, security guards have a way of arriving one to two hours later. Are we supposed to say to a prowler, "Stick around a little longer, security will be right ·here - in an hour or two"? Because of an extreme number of cases, the students have taken security measures into their own hands. A mimeographed sheet of how to deal with your assailant has been circylated throughout the women's dormitories. Perhaps this is the only solution - it isn't as if we haven't tried going through the proper channels. It's just that those channels haven't been concerned. Does something drastic or sensational have to happen on our campus in order for security to be revised?

Even more important than the gain in the Senate was the shining upset of such arch-conservative Nixon supporters as Margaret Chase Smith of Maine and Miller of Iowa. Along with these results and the amazing victory of Walker to the post of Governor of Illinois and the election of a "McGovernite" Salmon to the post of Governor in the traditionally conservative Vermont, all add to the trust given to liberal legislators across the nation .

A good computer programmer is wellacquainted with frustration, a very minor portion of which can . be attributed to the computer itself or to the operators . The computer staff to which he refers is not to handle student jobs. They are working directly for the regislrar's office and are engaged in programming for the administration .

WCLH 90.7 FM Wilkes College Listening Habit ,_______________________________--f by Ronnie Church Probably the most important person at WCLH is the announcer who brings the variety of programming to our listeners each night. The announcer serves a dual role - he is both a public servant to the comm unity land also the voice of Wilkes College . By efficient operation of the station's !equipment, and announcer is able to provide programming which reflects !quality in both content and sound . There are no cute little jingles to ~ring jglory to each individual listener but each in his own way reflects the Wilkes College image. Much training and study is involved in preparing to be an announcer . WCLH requires that each announcer have a third class radio-telephone operator's license with broadcast endorsement. 'l~i obtain this license the announcer must take a written examination at the Federal Communications Commission office in Philadelphia. He must be familiar with the operation of the station's equipment and FCC rules and regulations . While on duty he is solely responsible for the efficient operation of the station. Just as the programming of WCLH reflects a variety of interests, so do our announcers. Mike Sincavage, Class of '75, is an accounting major. Mike is a resident of West Wyoming and is co-ordinator of WCLH's Sports Show. Doreen Pellegrini, a resident of Plains, is a junior engineering major who says that her interest in radio and engineering is not a reflection of the current Women's Lib movement. Chuck Waite, a sophomore math major, is a resident of Shavertown whose interests at WCLH lie in both rock programming and engineering. · John Kowalchik, a junior engineering major and chairman of WCLH's rock programming , has achieved both second and first class licenses beyond the required third class license. John also recruits and trains new announcers. John Thier, a sophomore engineering major, is a resident of Dallas. John lends his talents in the area of rock programming and engineering . Basil Lynch, a junior business administration major , is co-chairman of production and also co-chairman of WCLH's news staff. Jack Noyalis, a new member of the WCLH staff, is a senior soc-iology major. Ted Trammaloni, a senior economics major, is co-chairman of the production staff and also co-chairman of WCLH's news staff. Jay Thomas, a freshman member of the WCLH staff, is a biology maj~r and a resident of Plymouth . Jim Kelly, a junior political science major , 1s chairman of WCLH's taping staff. Because of Jim's efforts WCLH was able to secure permission to air Sha-Na-Na and Jack Anderson live . Tony Pietrzykoski , a sophomore engineering major, holds a second class radio-telephone operator's license and is chairman of WCLH 's engineering staff.

Standing, left to right: Gene A slippery pigskin and an inspired Delaware Valley football team combined to give the Wilkes College Colonels a 20-18 defeat Saturday afternoon at Doylestown. Stirred by the pre-game announcement that Del Val mentor Bill. Craver would be retiring after the contest, the Aggies put forth a strong second half offensive effort to seal the Colonels ' demise. Wilkes, now 4-4 on the year, actually had the game in tow until the final ten seconds of the half when the Aggies struck for the go-ahead points in the midst of confusion. Steady rains hampered the locals' comeback in the final portion. Miscues also aided in the Colonel downfall as both Wilkes fumbles led to eventual Del Val scores. A bright spot in the Colonels' hour of misery was freshman tailback Fred Lohman, who raked the soggy turf for 80 yards on 24 carries. The 5'11 " , 180-pound Valley West alumnus also tallied on bursts of five and two yards to bring his 1972 Domzalski, Brinley Varchol, Joe Skvarla , Dick Orlowski, Bob Corba, Johan Goobic.

Defensive Standout Looking good on defense were Frank Galicki, Rich Masi, Pat Ratchford, Jeff Grandinetti and Terry Blaum, while Rich Lorenzen and John Holland stood out on offense. Sophomore Bill Horan and junior John Collins each pulled down fou~ · Giberson aerials to increase their reception totals to - 28 and 20 respectively. Adding to the Wilkes woes was the bull-like running of Aggie fullback Keith Alderfer which hurt the Colonels on crucial situations. The 6', 195-pounder collected 88 yards on 25 carries. Del Val struck fast and first in their farewell to Coach Craver. One play after an opening exchange of fumbles, Del Val quarterback Jim Foote electrified the host of Wilkes followers by hitting converted signaicaller Dick Ridgway with a 53-yard scoring bomb. Placement by Jim Lucarelli had Del "-31 ahead, 7-0, with 12:44 left in the first stanza. Two series later the Wilkes-men hit the boards on a sustained drive which carried 74 yards to paydirt.

Key call of the drive saw Giberson move his team from their own 29 to the Aggie 30 on a 41-yard . pass to the Valley West product. Lohman culminated the series ' with a five-yard off-tackle plunge. Placement attempt was wide and Wilkes trailed 7-6 with 2:26 remaining in the initial canto. Both defenses dug in and the score stayed the same until 1:21 left in the half when Giberson spotted Howe in the left corner of the endzone with an aerial strike. Costly Penalty The drive, which covered two plays and 20 yards, was aided by a costly Aggie personal foul, after they had punted from deep in their territory . Delaware Valley went immediately to the air lanes, and Foote was successful in playing the clock and the Colonel secondary. Six straight completions by the 6'2", 215-pound field general gave the hosts a 13-12 lead with zero time remaining on the scoreboard clock. 1 The Aggies executed fine ball control in the third stanza , maintaining the pigskin on 17 rushing plays. Del Val hiked its lead to 20-12 when they made good on a loose Colonel fumble and marched 22 yards to paydirt on five calls. Alderfer achieved scoring honors with a six-yard spurt at the 8: 15 juncture. The hosts repeated their earlier ground tactics and Wilkes was unable to move until midway in the fourth quarter . Sophomore defensive back Alan Barrett got the troops rolling with a stolen Foote pass offering. Starting on his own five , Giberson moved the Blue and Gold methodically down the field on passes to John Collins and some fine running by Lohman. A two-yard dive by Lohman kept the locals ' hopes alive with 4:13 remaining in the game. Colonels mentor Rollie Schmidt went for the two-point conversion which would have knotted the game, but the subsequent pass attempt was batted down . A last ditch Wilkes effort in the closing minute fell short on the Aggie 38-yard line as the gun sounded.

The truth of the ' matter is that .the staff is always willing to help the s tudents " debug " their program s as they have done so often in the past. The complaint stems from a misunderstanding on October 24, 1972. The student submitted a program in the early evening . The program would normally have been run , but, due to the flood, the Computer Center is slightly behind on their converting to larger disks. It was im pera ti ve that the administra· · tive material be given top pnonty that par ticular night , and , consequently , his program was preempted . According to our log , student progra ms were run five times tlie next day . Also , the student implies that the inertia of the s taff leaves something to be desired . May I remind him that dur ing final exams, when there is literally a run on the Computer Center, our staff bends over backwards to ensure the student's program being processed before the deadline. I hope this letter has in some way cleared up many questions the students of Wilkes might have as to the Computer Center 's willingness to serve the college, and I wou1d recommend that in the future one not distort the picture of the Computer ·center without knowing all the facts .

With the death of Bobby McBride, junior defensive back on the Wilkes College football team, the Wilkes College family mourns the loss of an outstanding student and athlete. McBride, a business administration major died as a result . 9f injur ies sustained two minutes after the start of the third period at the last football game of the season against Kings Point. Wilkes College President FrancisJ. Michelini expressed his sorrow in a statement the morning of McBride's death. "It is with deepest sorrow that our College family received the news of Bob McBride's death. He was considered one of . the finest examples of a student-athlete by his teachers and coaches. Our faculty and students all recognized the dedicated effort our team members and coaches put forth in the postflood recovery efforts of the Cotlege. Our team all worked so hard to establish the visible confidence of recovery to people from outside Wyoming Valley. None worked with more dedication than this young man from WilkesBarre. He was always modest, sincere in all his efforts and a real brother to his fellow players and coaches. We all feel his loss more deeply than words can ever express and share this sorrow with his family in extending our prayers in sympathy to them." A sorrowful Wilkes College family met at a special memorial service the following week at the Center for the Performing Arts. This service featured a speech by Michael Barski, president of Student Government and fellow teammate of McBride's. A saddened Wilkes College Coach Rollie Schmidt, who kept in constant contact with the situation at the hospital, expressed his profound sorrow over ·the tragedy, describing the injury as being so _unique as to be a "once in a mill ion incident." �Page 2 THE BEACON Children At Trailer Camp; Students Build Playgrounds Children in the Miners Mills Trailer Camp in Wilkes-Barre are learning that the best things in life sometimes do come free - thanks to the efforts of assistant Professor Herbert Simon, of the Wilkes College Art Department and his contemporary design classes. Each week, at the scheduled class meeting , the Wilkes students and their instructor meet at the Miners Mills Trailer Camp to construct playground equipment for the children from materials such as old tires, old telephone poles and cable spools that they collect free. And the children respond enthusiastically. According to Simon, " These kids helped build the equipment, paint it and play on it even before it is completed." _ Simon got the project idea from Paul Hogan, who is working in conjunction with VISTA, constructing "playgrounds for free " throughout the United States. Members of VISTA work with the students each week, supplying the necessary technical knowledge and materials. • The entire playground idea remains static, however, with constant additions and revisions_ · Instead of directing money toward elaborate ·playground material , a community is able to direct funds toward skilled instructors, who in turn would direct the ehildren in building a safe and thoroughly inexpensive playground. The playground is something in which the children can take pride. The whole project starts out on the drawing board. Members of the contemporary design class start out with a series of drawings and concepts. These concepts are th.en translated into reality with the collection of materials and the construction of safe, active playground equipment. The Miners Mills Trailer Camp presented a natural location for the "playground for free" in the Wyoming Valley . There is a slight hill with a tree, ideal for a tree house and climbing . . Discarded telephone poles, coupled with old conveyor belts, form the ideal trampoline, which the children named "the b,ed." This "free playground" supplies a much-needed diversion for children in the Wyoming Valley area who are living in trailers and have been displaced by the record flooding of the Susquehanna River in June. Many of these children are in an area that is totally foreign to them, and the playground provides the necessary atmosphere for forming lasting friendships. Parents have expressed an interest in the project, often offering to help in the actual construction . Even after the trailer camp is no longer needed, the playground will remain, for it is a part of the regular city playground. Joyce Andrejko, a fine arts major at Wilkes, is helping in the project. She is a regular playground assistant. Also assisting the project is a Wilkes graduate, Robert Burnside, who is currently employed by HUD. There are currently 28 Wilkes College fine arts majors involved in this program and for each individual it is an experience they will never forget.

New Alumni Activities Include Trips, Projects by Charles Riechers Activity is the current byword of the Wilkes College Alumni. Approximately 50 persons toured England during the Thanksgiving recess. This and other Alumni-sponsored trips are not restricted to Alumni. Faculty and students are indeed welcome. In fact, Wilkes College Alumni Director Art Hoover's slogan is that "one builds an alumni as a freshman." Future vacation trips are scheduled. Spain during Christmas and Acapulco or Hawaii during Easter. A meeting of all Wilkes Alumni in the greater Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and Hazleton Area was held this past Monday evening, December 4, at the Hotel Sterling. Several Wilkes personnel addressed this group. All three head coaches of Winter Sports at Wilkes reviewed prospects for their respective seasons - John Reese, wrestling; Roger Bearde, basketball; and Joe Shaughnessy, swimming. John Reese also showed films of his summer trip to the Munich Olympics as a member of the Olympic Wrestling Committee. He also traveled in Germany, Italy and France. . Andrew Shaw, Jr., Director of the Wilkes College Institute of Regional Affairs and Executive Director of the Flood Recovery Task Force, who is on loan from the college in this community effort, spoke on the topic "The Benefits of Agnes." Shaw has also used this topic in his addresses to members of civic, professional and service clubs. The resultant comments and reactions have been most favorable. An important Alumni project will be tackled by the Alumni National Executive Committee at a meeting January 20. A proposed revised constitution will be considered. This is the first time the Constitution will be revised as a whole and it was becoming somewhat antiquated . In addition, arrangements will be finalized for a benefit movie preview tentative for March in New York City. At this showing the movie presented will have its first appearance. The first public viewing will come later. An Alumni Directory was approved at a recent Executive Committee meeting. The Directory will contain a list and location of Alumni and is similar in form to the Student Faculty Directory which contains a listing of all faculty, students arid college personnel. Alumni President Reese D. Jones '56 will appoint a committee at January's· meeting to consider an Alumni Survey to acquire current and background information on Alumni. Alumni officers include President Reese D. Jones '56; Vice-President Donald L. Honeywell '49; Secretary Judy Simonson Arenstein '68; Treasurer Joseph D. Stephens '51; Director Arthur J . Hoover '55 ; and nine regional vice-presidents . The Alumni are responsible for locating and attracting prospective Wilkes College students. The Alumni are effective in this respect because they know what Wilkes College is and can advise well. Wilkes College Alumni reside in all but six states of the United States . Those which contain no Alumni include North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Nebraska. Thirty-six Alumni reside in foreign countries while most Alumni reside in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Wilkes Alumni have also been very active and helpful in flood recovery efforts .

Emphasis should be placed, the study suggests , on increased opportunities for each college student to find the academic environment and instructional situation that will best help to improve the quality of his life. A new "academic constitution" for colleges and universities is proposed. The study, fourteenth in a series by the commission, is based on the largest survey of academic opinion ever made. It included 70,000 undergraduates , 30,000 graduate students and 60,000 faculty mem- nonintellectual. Emphasis on the society 's wealth of alternative views of problems arid avoidance of compulsory, singleminded religious or political indoctrination on campus. Emphasis on the advancement in knowledge and skill under conditions of equality of opportunity and avoidance of a doctrine of equality of results regardless of ability and effort. Within these broad limits, greater attention can be paid to the wishes of the students . They are not always right , the survey concedes, but they are reasonable well-informed consumers. It is both unwise and inherently wrdng to be unconcerned student body w11i see this as an opportunity to bridge the communication gap between the day and dorm students. During the summer months, following the record devastation caused by the flooding of the Susquehanna River, volunteers - students, faculty and administrators - joined together to make the college's recovery possible. As we enter the Christmas season and campus activities get into' full swing, it is hard to realize that a few sho_rt months ago no one would have believed this would be possible.

He reported that he had already talked with three or four people, but he refused to reveal who they were or what affiliation, if any, they had with the school. He declined to give any more -information about his investigation , " until, " he said, "I know where I can put my next step and not fall through . I will not make any false accusations. It would be unfair to the students, the Beacon and Mr. Moran . Before I say anything, good or bad, I must be definite." Commuter Council President Buddy Brezinski, like Barski, compl-ained of misfaken or misinterpreted facts on the Beacon's part. One instance he reported was a mix-up of quotes between him and Rich Mendelsohn concerning cigarette machines on campus. When asked if he regarded the Beacon as a censored paper, Brezinski replied that the only censoring he felt was present was by the editor, Marietta Bednar. He cited letters written to Miss Bednar by Rich Finkelstein, a Wilkes student, that were n.e ver printed. Miss Bednar defended her position by pointing out that the letters she received from Finkelstein were (From Page 2) dredgin1, and widening, upstream impounding basins, river meander diversion and obstruction removal. While these alternatives are appealing, they are too costly and time-consuming to merit consideration at the present time. Civil Defense believes that a system of giant river closure gates proposed for the Market and North Street bridges and near Route 11 in Wyoming, along with the immediate reconstruction and fortification of the levee system, is the best temporary solution. written in a personal form, as opposed to a letter to the editor. The strongest complaint expressed by Brezinski was that the Beacon did not deal with enough relative issues. One of the suggestions he gave was for the Beacon to print information on abortion referral, VD, mental aid and planned parenthood. The CC President stated that he has information on all of these subjects. and welcomes anyone to ask him for it. Aside from merely relative issues being discussed in the Beacon , Brezinski freely advised that the news stories be more relevent. The examples he gave as relevent news stories included: the parking problem, the condition of the Commons' gameroom, better meals and cooking facilities for the day students, more social events involving both day and dorm students, and the threat of a tuition tax on college students . The CC President was asked if he had ever thought about writing letters to teh editor or viewpoints , concerning these relative topics .

The purpose of the Man uscript Film Series is to explore this art form in order to discover its va lue as an art. To do this, the Manuscript Society has chosen films for this year 's program that have been universally accla imed by critics and film makers alike . Some of the directors included in the series are: Ingmar Bergman , Fritz Lang , Orson Welles , Salvadore Dali, Jean Cocteau and many o1hers . It is their hope that through what they feel is a comprehensive program of some of the world 's finest cinematic achievements, they can provi de an opportunity for the serious film goer to maturely examine the art of the cinema. Complete schedules of the Manuscript Society Film Series for this school year are available on the fird floor of Bedford Hall. · t Gulf Oil Corporation recently presented to Wilkes Colle_ge the first installment of a _grant of money and laboratory equipment with a combined value of approximately $200,000.

This winter, for once when the temperatures start dropping, couldn't we please ~ave a little heat? Heat has been on our Christmas list for the past three years. We know you've been generous in your other gifts. But it is a little, difficult to type with mittens on. Those ice skates do come in handy. We use them at least once a week, with office temperatures remaining at a standard 22 degrees, the floor makes an ideal skating rink. The hankies and tissues were great while they lasted, but we've all run o'-lt. The woolen socks were nifty, but they don't quite match up to the real thing. So, please Santa, if you can find in it your heart this year won't you get us some heat? The Beacon staff P.S. Our supply of aspirin, cold tablets and cough syrup is low. If you can't get the heat right away, won't you at least get us those? LetJs Look Into It "Let's look into the matter." "A committee has to be formed to investigate the matter." Such are the recurrent comments among the governing bodies of Wilkes College. Everyone is so busy looking into the matter, that relatively little is accomplished. If some of the people who are so busy looking into the matter would take the initiative to do something, there might be a little more activity . on this campus. A Human Services Organization was formed on campus, with relatively little problem. All it took was the initiative _of one person, a little organization and a group of interested people. There was a recognized need for the services this type of committee could provide. The group petitioned Student Government, gained recognition and funds and is well on the way to becoming an active part of the Wilkes College communi_!Y. The same principle should be able to be applied to other problems on this campus, such as security, snow removal and the library. All it would take is one person with the initiative to organize a security force, gain the approval of the administration and Student Government, and we're on our way to a solution . Instead the problem is recurrent, year after year at SG, IDC and Student Life meetings. Everyone agrees there is a problem, and that the problem needs a solution. So whv not do something about it?

Specifically, Student Government is grateful to have a reporter attend its meetings. However, what is in the Beacon on Thursday is not always what happened Monday night at the meeting . Also, as in many representative bodies, there is often news or business transacted that is not for publication.

BELLAS' INTEREST IN NATURE FELT IN PHYSICS DEPARTMENT by Deborah Ann Hargra ves " Working here at Wilkes College in the Physics Depa rtment is more of a cha llenge for me than working at a lat ge uni versity. That is because I have a deep , genuine, fundam ental interest as to wha t Na ture is a ll about." This is the opinion of the head of the Physics Department , Dr . Fred Bellas, as well as the entire staff of eight physics teachers. Dr . Bellas feels that non-science and non-nursing ma jors may take , as electives, a few more courses than the mere Introductory 101 and 102.

At the same time we are also choosing to ignore those problems mos t people feel would be much better off swept under the rug . Just about any student on this campus will admit privately that there are drug and alcohol problems on our campus. Admitting that openly is another thing. Stuff like that simply couldn 't occur on the Wilkes College campus. But it does . A recent incident involving an overdose of drugs which fortunately did not involve a Wilkes student, but which did , howev er, occur on the campus, is a prime example of the drug situation. It is questionable how many rel~ted incidents, if any , have occurred and not been reported . • Much the -same thing is true concerning alcohol on this campus . A major decision was made this year permitting alcoholic beverages on campus, provided the individual was 21 years of age. So it remains, sad though it is, that the primary forms of recreation weekends on campus involve getting either stoned or smashed . One student, in response to an editorial which appeared in the Beacon , headed "A Suitcase College·?" stated , " what we need on this campus is a place to go on weekends that we don 't have to get stoned or smashed ." The individual is right. The place doesn't have to be elaborate, with the finest decor, but it should exist. The Beacon has been accused of running pessimistic editorials when the student leaders are trying to organize projects. I ser-iously doubt that these editorials contributed to the poor response . Out of curiosity we recently polled random members of the student body, representatives from every class. The result? Relatively few of these individuals knew who their student leaders were and even fewer could name any major legislation taken by their governing bodies. It's a sad fact, but true . This columnist must apologize for the pessimistic tone the writing takes . But members of our reading audience claim they want the truth and here it is .

But after attending the . annual Christmas Dinner in the Wilkes College cafeteria, the entire image took a unique form. Students and administrators were sitting together, most of the people really dressed for the occasion and the cafeteria reflected the mood of everyone. · The meal was excel lent, but more important than th at were the emotions and feelings of the individuals present. After the mea l, the men of Diaz House and "chorus leader" Nancy Rodda Suggests Apathy Is A 'Cop-out' Dean George Ralston led the group in Christmas Carols. It was something really special to see the group join . in the ,merriment, without any inhibitions. Highlighting the evening was Freddy Santa Claus, handing out some special "mighty tasty" candy canes.

The Beacon staff would like to take this opportunity to extend best wishes for the holiday season and forthcoming New Year· to members of the Wilkes College family, our The Bacon •Sizzles In an attempt to satisfy the campus plea for complete news coverage, one of the Beacon reporters this week sat in on what was termed an "open meeting" of the Bacon staff. For those readers who inquire, "what is the Bacon?" the only reply is that the Bacon is Wilkes College's one and only above-theground "underground" newspaper. It was designated as being published bi-weekly as a newsletter, designed to keep the students informed of "current events." Don't misunderstand us. It is not our desire to be vindictive or attempt W squelch the Bacon simply because it is competition. Quite the contrary. But when students' funds are being directed toward something they have no idea of, it is quite another matter. The committee members on theBBacon have been accorded the rights of all students on the Wilkes campus to submit material, and like the Bacon, we will print all the news as long as it is not libelous. We seriously doubt that members of the Current Events Club are writing out of a desire to be professional and that these same people would take the time to write for the Beacon. first. Then again there are those individucils who are turned off by the abuse they sufifer from their peers and faculty. It is our place to print all the news on campus, not simply the articles of interest such as the Ba!=on was able to get away with. We have in the past welcomed such articles and printed them when they were submitted. At the last meeting of the Bacon, we were informed that only two of 16 staff members showed. The problem we face isn't as unique as we thought. There is definitely room for both types of effort; but, in the interest of funds, time and energy, we would suggest that the students make an attempt to join the Beacon staff and find out for themselves if there really is a "Beacon clique." sufficient data .

This resulted in a need for a new Vice-President . Ever since last Tuesday, December 5, the four nominees for the vacated position have been campaigning. Elections were held on December 14. Once again I would like to congratulate the Beacon for its excellent coverage of lhe campus-wide election for a new sophomore class Vice-President. Your reporting of this event equaled your reporting of last year's full officer election: absolutely nothing was mentioned about the class meet1iig for nominations , the campaign, · the elections, or the results. You are keeping very true to form , I must say! .J feel that if unity and awareness is honestly wanted on this campus, it should start in its newspaper. To have the students know what is happening on campus, accurate reporting is a necessity. What I suggest is that a representative be present at the class meetings - not just the Sophomore Class meetings, but at all class meetings . This won 't change the world, but it 's a start. Maybe next time we'll get a one-liner ... Ob well , I can dream, can't I ?

The News has a curious relationship with the student leaders who scorn it, the administration leaders who fear it, the national leaders who remember their own days of avid activism as Newsies in their youth. The News _is principal chronicler and critic of Yale's power structure; it is also a firmly entrenched member of that structure , with roots in Yale's tradition, a stake in its orderly future , and a string of person-al bonds with Woodbridge Hall. As students in the university, and frequently as students actively involved in the issues they cover , Newsies are better prepared than nea rly any other reporter to give a full , illuminating , well-informed analysis of what has happened.

Conversely, the Yale hi erarchy scrutinizes the News each day. A story which hints at an information leak is instant cause for concern, and a piece which openly implicates Kingman Brewster, or any of his appointees in misdoing often provokes an angry outburst from Woodbridge Hall.

SG Assails Inactivity Of Many Committees The effectiveness of studentfaculty committees on campus pt ovided the spark for debate last Monday night at Student Government. Peter Jadelis commented upon the lack of action on the part of many of the committees and was joined by Inter-Dormitory Council President Jim Fiorino, who denounced the inactiyity of some faculty representatives. Lee Auerbach rallied to the offense by placing · the blame also on the students, who were la~ to ·take the initiative. Auerbach requested that the presence of student representatives be demanded before SG in order to get a general background of the situation and hash out difficulties . A new SG excuse policy was given its first reading. As with the old policy, a secret ballot must be taken after any member has accumulated three absences. Greg Hollis expressed 1 ~ismay that the . proposal so closely resembled the ?ld one . 'Dwo excuses were voted upon to -:letermine whether or not would be :onsidered excused . Both SG /ice-President Bob Linaberry and Woody Nichols were found innocent even though Vice.:President Linaberry admitted his absence was unexcused and requested that it be considered as such. It was brought forth that the Ecology Club took court action against "PennDOT" in Harrisburg, Tuesday. The Club is condemning curring plans of widening So.

Shepherd , a noted journalist and comedian , divided the world into two kinds of people - those that were the Bobbsey Twins and those that were not , which were ones like himself who could imagine that the Midtown Tunnel, in New York, was the inside of one long "john." Nothing seemed to miss Shepherd's magic tongue as he completely cut up New Jerseyites , who he says are born with shopping carts in their hands and spend their lives between the Great Eastern Discount Stores and the orange roofs of the Howard Johnson 's . The college oriented audience could eas1·1y relate to Shepherd 's classroom experiences at George E . strikes aga inst you before you even get started.

The "X, Y and Z's" could relate themselves to Shepherd's experiences as they too walked into a classroom and were told to sit in the back of the room by the cupboards, never knowing the smell of the chalk let alone seeing the chalkboard itself. For the ghetto there is al ways the mass of bodies, the " A, B and C's," who separated them from the teacher and the learning that went on in the front of the room.

A new addition to the graduation ceremonies will be colored academic hoods . After receiving their diplomas seniors may remove the covering on their hoods and display the various colors which symbolize the different majors . Each major will have its own section in the assembly, adding to the already impressive ceremonies . Graduation ceremonies will not be held in the gymnasium as was the case last year. An outdoor ceremony is planned at Ralston Field or at Kingston Armory in case of bad weather. Graduation fees may increase by _ $4.25 allowing the cap, gown and hood to be retained by the seniors. The present graduation fee is $25.00. The seniors are holding a Beer Blast at Pocono Downs Sunday , January 6. Sorry, underclassmen, the party is for seniors only . With final exams set to begin in the very near future, there are a few changes which should be considered.

Colonels rolled over Delaware Valley, 31-9, Saturday afternoon in a home meet held at the South Franklin Street gym. The Colonels of Coach John Reese captured eight of the 10 bouts in winning their fifth meet of the 1972-73 season. They have lost only one. In hammering Delaware Valley, the Wilkes grapplers served notice on other Middle Atlantic Conference mat teams that they are the team to beat once again. Delaware Valley, with virtually the same squad back from a season ago, finished third to the Blue and Gold last year in the MAC grappling confab at Swarthmore. Wilkes will meet second-place Elizabethtown at home January 6 before taking on fourth-place Lycoming at Williamsport ' on February 3. Keeping their un blemished-untied streaks going were Jay McGinley (5-Ol, Gene Ashley (5-0) and Art Trovei (5-0) . For Trovei the triumph came a little tougher than expected . McGinley upped his 118-pound career record to 31-6-1 with a 6-1 decision over freshman Jay Rothers. After getting out to a 2-1 first period lead, McGinley rode the entire second stanza, and then produced an escape and takedown in the final frame . Bob Roberts pulled down vetera n Ron Jennings at 1:00 of the initial period and then applied the overhead cradle to produce a fall 27 seconds later . It was his fourth season dual win aga inst only one setback. Junior John Chakmakas extended the Colonels team lead to a quick 15-0 with a second period clamp over Jim Hopps. The Schenectady, N.Y. product had Hopps , 5-1, before showing him the lights with a double arm lock . Key meeting of the afternoon saw Art Trovei squeak by Aggie Captain George Cummins, 4-3 . Cummins and Trovei fought in the MAC 134-pound finals last year . Trovei won to unseat the defending champion , to whom he had lost in the semi-finals the year before. Cummins actually led, 3-1, going into the final frame. Trovei escaped. at 5: O6an.d scored the winning digit in the last 15 seconds of the bout as Cummins was penalized a point for stallipg. Second period riding time gave the Port Jervis, N .Y. native the nod . Mike Lee extended the shutout to 22-0 with a lopsided 13-1 superior decision at 150. Lee completely obliterated his Del Val opponent , getting a near pin on three occasions. The Colonel junior is now 4-0-1 on the campaign and 16-1-1 lifetime. Junior Gene Ashley made it six straight for the hometowners with a 5-0 verdict. Ashley executed a takedown with seven seconds left in the first period, rode the entire second , and then sealed the triumph with a third stanza reversal. Colonel fans were treated to a wild one at 167-pounds as yearling J im Weisenfluh rallied for a 7-5 nod. Trailing 5-2 with 33 seconds remaining in the bout , Weisenfluh fashioned a takedown and near fall at the buzzer to gain his biggest victory to date . Highly touted Fran Campbell finally put the visitors on the scoreboard with a hardfought 10-7 decision over Bob Yanku . Yanku battled back to a one-point deficit, 5-4, early in the third period but saw all hopes fade awa y with a Campbell reversal. Joe Grinkevich evened his season 's l~g at 3-3 with a 5-2 decision (Continued on Page 7) 1 Feoturin .1ay M e6inle by Steve Jones The Wilkes Wrestling Team - Left to right, first row: Marc Kovalchick, Ted Martin, Jay McGinley, Bob Roberts, John Chakmakas, Art Trovei, Mike Lee, Bob Yanko and Ralph Musgrave.

Evelyn Robinson, Recorder for the Development Office, reports that approximately $1,900 has been donated to date and that more pledges are being received almost daily. A few of the sources of the contributions include individual Wilkes students , Student Government, Parents ' Football Club, individual dormitories and sundry other departments and organizations . Dean Arthur Hoover intimates that following Christmas recess Mr . and Mrs . McBride will consult with the administration as to the manner in which they intend to employ the money . Speculation is that the funds ma y be poured into a perpetual scholarship fund to be granted on an annual basis , but as of yet, nothing is definite . ++++++ When was the last time you attended an exciting Wiikes athletic contest? It may have been as recently as last night, but almost for definitely sure, fan reaction to the contest was unexcited and unemotional. According to many ' observers, Wilkes lacks fervent fan support for its athletic teams ; a fervent support which other c;olleges seem not to Jack. This point was made at a recent Beacon meeting and will be treated more extensively in an upcoming issue . In the meantime, observe for yourself and form your own opinions . 4 Colonels Selected To All MAC Four members of the Wilkes College offensive grid unit were last week named to the Middle Atlantic Conference's Northern Division All-Star-squad. Selected by the MAC coaches on the basis of their superior performances were senior quarterback Jeff Giberson, tight end George Sillup, senior tackle John Holland and junior guard Rich Lorenzen . Giberson Jed the Northern Division in total offense and passing this year, completing 103 of 198 aerials for 1088 yards and six touchdowns . Sillup, noted for his fine blocking and circus catches, has latched on to 43 passes for 473 yards in two seasons . Despite nursing injuries for much of the year, Holland , a native of Barre, Vt. , performed admirable on pass blocking and scrimmage-line thrust , as did Rich Lorenzen , who filled in for the injured Larry Lally and established himself as the Colonels' highest rated pffensive lineman .

Braving the elements and a seven-hour trip, the New York group sought to bring Christmas to the Third Avenue students , many of whom h:ad been through the recent flood disaster and others who had lost their school when a fire destroyed the building in Pringle just before Thanksgiving. . . . . . The idea was a bramstorm of Mrs . Barbara ( Drasher) Mertens, an alumna of WIikes College, as a service proJect for the children. Taking part in the reception were, left to right : George Siles, Wilkes College Education Department ; Mrs . Edward Urbanski, Third Avenue Home Association; Michael Stretanski, head teacher of the Third Avenue, non-graded school ; Mrs . Marion Rebar, director, Elementary Education, Wyoming Valley West School District; Dr. Francis J. Michelini, Wilkes College president; Mrs. Mertens; Miss Bevell Mason, principal, School 52 ; and Mrs . Samuel Peters, Third Avenue Home Association. Mrs . Mertens, publicity chairman of the Dow PTA, suggested the idea at the October meeting of the group. Arrangements were made through Dr. Michelini and Siles at Wilkes College. Aiding in the project was the Rochester Time-Union newspaper, which lent a truck for transportation of the gifts.

There Must Be A Better Way examinations. Most students who are going into a final _with a relatively high cumulative average would rather forego the formality of an exam and be ~ble to concentrate ·on raising an average iri another subject. The time that would be wasted reviewing and studying for a final in a subject that a student has mastered could be put to better use in studying for a subject that he is having trouble with. This sometimes works against a student who devotes time to another subject. As a result of a lack of sleep or time to review for a subject which he has already mastered, this same student will do poorly on his exam and lose a cumulative average that he has earned al I through the semester in a subject in which he has clearly demonstrated a complete comprehension . Some faculty members have allowed outstanding students to skip a final, while others have voiced a regret that they must go along with the established rules and give everyone the final. It would seem that in most cases a professor is able to tell a student's grade even before the semester is completed. If a student has been tested throughout the semester on the material, it seems a waste of time and effort, not to mention a strain on the nerves, to have to be retested. Eve~ the surroundings during examination period leave much to be desired. The gymnasium, with metal folding chairs and lapboards is hardly the ideal place to pour forth all the knowledge that has been accumulated during the course of 15 weeks. We find ourselves croucf:iing, sliding, with sawdust in our shoes. Balancjng a lapboard, we are expected to juggle exam books, additional pencils or pens, plus the exam and any other related material. This is certainly an examination for everyone - in physical agility. With all the buildings on campus there would be more than enough room to schedule exams in decent surroundings.

But as a scene was the Wilkes-Barre Fire Drug Education placebo for those of you who crave Department, although their services the extraordinary and the impossible, it finally happened. The extraordinary: a fire at the yet flood stained Eugene Shedden Farley Library. The impossible: virtual silence within the confines of that structure during what were theoretically prime time hours . The cause for the fire: spontaneous combustion of an open can of linseed oil and old rags in an aisle between the faculty carrols. The reason for the virtual silence: evacuation of the library due to augmenting smoke haze (and possibility of large fire) on the ground floor level. The crisis period lasted from approximately 7 to 7:30 p.m. on the night of Monday, February 5, and was ably handled by the library staff. Night librarian Fred D. Walters discovered the fire near the rear of the main level after a three-floor search of the heating and air conditioning systems, and he carried out the burning rags while Dave Bickel applied the fire extinguisher to the flames. Also arriving on the were not required. Walters stated, "When I opened the door, the smoke was so thick, I couldn't see the can burning." He suffered a slightly singed hand in performing his duty, but he did not require medication. Many of the students who were politely alerted to evacuate well in advance of the fire-finding episode, relocated in the Commons where they temporarily continued their studies to the booming melodies of Wit<;:hy-Woman and other groovy juke box tunes. An explanation for the open can of linseed oil and rags lying on the floor was not immediately available, and no damage was reported. But the fact remains that this was a potentially disastrous incident and reminds us that even such simple negligence as not screwing on the cap .of a can of linseed oil can lead to peril. On the other hand library goers can be thankful that as long as there is Walters around, we need not be aFred of fire. REMEMBER - Only one batch in a thousand, anywhere, mescaline or psilocybin.

The American Bar Association announced today the formation of a statewide drug abuse education project making use of the expertise of law, medical, and college students. The project is basically directed at junior and senior high school students although programs have been planned for college students that explain the new Pennsylvania narcotic laws. The project is funded under a grant from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration and is the result of several years of experimentation with various types of drug education · programs. Peter A. Levin, a Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney, has been Newscope (From Page 5) VIETNAM WAR CASUALTIES named as chairman of the project for Pennsylvania.

President Nixon has clearly reduced overseas commitments and tempered the cold-war rhetoric , but the habit of centralizing foreign-policy decisions in the White House, where so many of the Vietnam blunders were made, is persisting , as is the heavy influence of the military on foreign policy. Charles W. Yost, one of the nation's most experienced diplomats, observes in his book " The Conduct and Misconduct of Foreign Affairs" that in the first three years of the Vietnam war American public opinion did not exercise either a stimulating or an inhibiting effect on United States leaders, but that Mr. Kennedy , Mr . Johnson and, at first , Mr . Nixon were so afraid of what public opinion might do if they "lost" the war that they misjudged both the problem in Vietnam and attitudes at home. " There are many depressing examples of international conflicts, " he writes, "in which leaders have first aroused their own people against a neighbor and then discovered to their chagrin that even when they judged the time had come to move toward peace, they were prisoners of the popular passions they had stimulated ." President Nixon 's argument that the United States had to keep following his policy or look like " a pitiful , helpless giant " is only one of man y illustra tions to be found in Vietnam policy; but the chances ar e tha t this sor t of thing will not be heard again for some time. Meanwhile, Mr. Nixon does have to deal with the consequences of the war at home: with a kind of spiritual malaise, with the continui ng opposition to his theme that the end of the war will not release addi tional funds for social reconstruction at home; with the resentment of policies reached in secret and not explained to Congress or the people; wi th the dangers of returing soldier s facing unemployment and exhortations to be self-reliant; and with an America n conscience troubled over the bloodshed and sorrow. The guess here is that it will take some time to restore the selfconfidence of the pre-Vietnam years , but it may be that the destruction of many popular misconceptions in Vietnam will produce a more mature , if.sadder, nation . Reminders of the devastating June 2:1 flood which caused more than $10 million damage at Wilkes College are arriving every day on the Wilkes-Barre campus - but they are pleasant ones! The reminders come in forms of cartons of books and various other supplies donated and shipped to Wilkes College from generous members of academic, military and civic organizations, plus many private individuals, all across the country. Dr. James Bohning (left), professor of chemistry at Wilkes College, is shown looking over a portion of 276 cartons, containing 16,000 pieces of literature, which were delivered to the college science building from the Washington section of the American Chemical Society. In the center is Frank Paulewicz, of Alden, and a fellow student, George Botwin, Wilkes-Barre, checking in and unloading the welcome technical matter. The drive to assist Wilkes in the Washington, D.C. area was spearheaded by Roy Martin. The two students went to the capital with a truck to pick up the publications .

Shortly after the June 23 flood which devastated most of the Wyoming Va)ley , Taylor and his wife made a trip to the Kingston area to bring in some needed supplies to relatives who still reside there. Taylor , Class of 1954, despite two artific ial hips a nd an a rtificia l right knee, manages to put in a .full work week doi ng what he enjoys most in life - teaching. Recently he was one of three high school teachers in the P lainfield, New Jersey area selected to receive the A.A. Halden Scholarship Award, an annual prize given since 1957 by the National Starch & Chemical Corporation. The $500 grant, which will enable Taylor to continue graduate work at Rutgers University, distinguishes him as an outstanding educator . All award recipients were selected by committees of teachers and administrators at their respective schools . Taylor is currently teaching earth science at North Plainfield High School in New Jersey. A typical day for Taylor consists of rising at 5:45 a.m., going to the hospital for physical therapy, and then to school for a full day of teaching. Fortunately, his devotion to the profession has not gone unnoticed . In addition to the recent schola rship award , Taylor r eceived a certificate for 10 years of scientific achievement towa rds students from Rutge rs University , the National Science Teachers Science Fair Award for New. Jersey, and the Outstanding Service Award in Science Fairs from Rutgers . In the summer of 1962, Taylor received a National Science Foundation grant for graduate education. If there had to be a "Mr. Wilkes College" personified , Art Taylor is the man. Over the years he has maintained constant contact with individuals at the college , primarily6 with Dean George F. Ralston and Dr . Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College. Taylor has done some promoting on his own from North Plainfield, encouraging many of his students to attend his alma mater . Some of these students hae gone on to promote the college , participating in and even attaining positions in school-related and community-oriented activities. In fact , student contact is high on the list of college priorities according to Taylor, who also claims that "hard work and plenty of it" is the key to success . Dr. Farley has been instrumental in the continued development of Taylor's educational career , as he has in so many other cases. In a recent letter to Dean Ralston, Taylor cites Dr . F a rley 's continued interest as one of the most vivid impressons he retains from Wilkes College. Taylor is a member of the National Education Association , the New Jersey Science Teac.h ers' Association , the Somerset Teachers ' Federal Credit Union , Rutgers University Science Fair Committee, the North Plainfield Education Association, and the YMCA Committee. He resides at 621 Greenbrook Road, North Plainfield, N.J ., with his wife, Dolores, and their children.

Colonels , now 7-9 overall and 4-4 in MAC play, can only hope that the Vikings lose more than four games and that locals close out their remaining Northern Division slate with triumphs over Scranton and Elizabethtown. After trailing by two, 34-32, at halftime the charges of Rodger Bearde fell prone to personal fouls in the vesper half. Another cause of the Blue and Gold demise was 6-5 center Joe Resch who fired ome 24 marks. Sixteen of his total were registered in the second portion. High for the Wilkesmen was sophomore Clarence Ozgo with 14 markers . Others in double totes were Greg Buzinski 13, and Jack Brabant 10.

Called out of the game were 6-6 center Buzinski and Mark Caterson . Buzinski was the Colonels top rebounder with 11 grabs in his abbreviated appearance. Both teams registered 30 field goals but the difference in scoring proved to be from the charity stripe where the Vikings canned 25 of 28 attempts compared to 10 of 15 for the Blue and Gold. Also adding to the Wilkes defeat were offensive bursts by Joe Hartwyk, 16; Alex Yoda, 15; and Jim 1 McGuigan, 14. Upsala is now 10-6 on the season.

For Wilkes this could be attributed to first game jitters, whereas Susquehanna could not penetrate the Colonelettes ' strong defense. It was the defense that saved the game for Wilkes , holding Susquehanna to only eight field goals, giving Wilkes the time needed to put their offensive game together . Wilkes took hold of the lead early in the . game and never lost it. Offensively, Wilkes was able to work the ball inside but was unable to put it in for the two points . Coach Bloomberg felt that it was an important win, show,ing that the team was able to overcome their nervousness and settle down by the end of the game and put the offense together.

Flag To Be _ Presented Wilkes In Memory Of Quadraplegic ship three years in a row. After graduating from Meyers , Roberts attended Luzerne County Community College. While competing for the Minutemen, Bobby placed fourth in the J unior College Nationals. A teammate of Bob's at Luzerne County was Joel Kislin, one of the best heavyweights in the nation , who presently is putting his talents to use at Hofstra University. Bob then transferred to Wilkes, where he became an overnight sensa tion. He has two MAC championsh ips under his belt and will soon be going for number thr ee. The greatest moment in his career came last season at the NCAA College-Division championships when Bobby placed third among some of the best matmen in the country. Despite this remarkable success , Bob knows the meaning of frustration. While competing before the local fans in the Wilkes Open , Bob has finished in the runnerup position the last three years . Bob, like the rest of his teammates, is really looking forward to the upcoming NCAA championships. The ~bulk of their competition ·will come from . Cal Poly , a wrestling dynasty among small colleges. While speaking with Bob recently , he had this to say about his team 's chances in the tourney : " I feel pretty sure we can place second and if we get the breaks and wrestle like I know we can, we'll take first. The team is really looking tough ." This humble scribe, along with the rest of the Beacon staff, wishes Bob and the other Colonels good luck in the weeks ahead .

Widely known throughout Europe and the United States, Rubio studied under the master of the classical guitar, Andres Segovia . He was a student of Daniel Forea , and later of Sainz dela Maza, with whom he studied for 10 years , both privately and at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid from which he graduated with 1 honors. Rubio also studied five summers with Segovia, often called the world's greatest living guitarist. Maestro Segovia calls his pupil "An excellent musician and guitarist, who deserves to be well known by all the lovers of music. Rubio has done several college and university performances, with the greatest success. "The New York Times" writes, "His assets - as displayed in music by Gaspar Sanz, Bach, Rameau, Sor, Villa Lobos, Falla and others-mark him as a musician worth hearing again: a big opulent . tone; a keen ear for exploiting the guitar's orchestral colors; a sound if not infallible technique; and the sort of refined good taste that can rarely be learned." His program Tuesday evening will cover such classical composers as Gaspar Sanz, Sylvius Leopold Weiss, J.S. Bach, Domenico Scarlatti, Mateo Carcassi, Mauro Giuliani, Ferdinando Carulli and Fernando Sor. A second section of the program covers South American and Spanish Composers of the Twentieth Century. Among them are : Antonio Lauro, Agustin Barrios, Federico A. Cordero. Raul Borges, Enrique Granados, Federico M. Torroba and Isaac Albeniz. This program and all concert and lecture series programs are open to the public free of charge . Miguel Rubio • WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PA.

The benefits from this new program have not as yet been determ ined. But the outcome, as it will directly affect students attending small private colleges such as Wilkes, is clear. The President has announced an inte ntio n to fund th is new program at the ex pense of t hree federa l student aid programs t hat have been operat ive and have been providing badly needed funds to students fo r a number of years. These include the Education Opportunity Grants, National Defense Student Loans and College Work Study Programs. This means that come next fall, you , the student, might very well be in the hole as far as your college education is concerned. If you are receiving any of the above-mentioned financial aid , there's the possibility that you won't continue to receive it when the next academic year begins. Right now there is something you can do to let President Nixon know that you are concerned. Take the time to send a card or letter to your federal representatives asking them to do everything with in their power to see that the present student aid programs are fully funded for the 1974~75 academic year. In many cases your educational fu t ure will depend on actio n taken ·now. A Question Of Responsibility Hatfield Proposes: Dismantle Draft Sen. Mark 0 . Hatfield, R-Ore., proposed legislation to dismantle the Selective Ser vice System and a constitutional amendment that would req uire a national referendum to reinstate military conscription . The Nixon a dministration announced recently it was halti ng the dra ft but wanted the Selective Service System kept in place in case it is needed in the future. Ha tfield said that , "achieving a volunteer a rm y , and ending the Vietnam wa r remove the reason for retention of the Selective Service System ," noting the a dmini stration has budgeted $55 milli on for it in the next fisca l year. "If there is not a ny need fo r the Presidenl to ha ve the a uthority to induc t men into the milita ry, then I believe there is no reason why the draft structure should remain," he said in his speech for the Senate. Hatfield sa id it is not necessar y to mainta in a draft structure to insure a quick reac tion in case manpower is needed for the mili tar y in the future. Security problems often occur when doors are left unlocked for an extended period of time. In order to solve this problem, women's dormitories are to remain locked 24 hours a day and every student is to carry a key. Periodic checks of doors will be made by security guards, and all offenses will be reported in order to provide greater safety. Women residents also are reminded to travel in groups during the evening hours and that common sense should be a guide in reacting to a situation or preventing a potential security problem. Students shou Id be aware of these measures and follow through on them to prevent future security problems. In addition, Student Government President Mike Barski announced that a buzzer system would be installed in the future, aiding in much quicker response. * Cheap.*• Thrill *· Notice • * ** Thursday, February l5 J.V.

Dr. Ernest Sternglass, director of the radiology physics laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School, and representatives of local conservation groups will meet with Governor Shapp in Harrisburg this week to push their demand for a moratorium on the licensing and construction of nuclear power plan ts. The nuclear physicist says action on future atomic power stations should be frozen until what he called "serious questions of health and safety can be resolved. At a recent meeting with representatives of the Friends of the Earth's Environment and the Pittsburgh and Beaver County Citizens Conservation Corps, the controversial physicist reiterated his claim that in the Beaver County community of Aliquippa, located near Duquesne Light Company's nuclear plant at Shippingsport, there have been significant increases in letJkemia and infant mortality rates since the reactor began operating. Dr. George K. Tokuhata, an official of the State Department of Health, has said, however, that Sternglass' approach was "highly unscientific." "I'm not saying he is completely wrong," Tokuhata said, "I'm just saying so far there has been no evidence to prove he is right." Duquesne Light has plans to construct two more nuclear reactors at Shippingsport.

Abortion View Offered by Mark Carmon The touching poem and accompanying photograph carried in last weeks issue of the BEACON (Feb .8, 1973) points out the underlying problem concerning the matter of abortion. That problem is the over emotionalization of this method of birth control. . In an overpopulated and underfed world, abortion has proven itself an ex_ell~nt method of birth control in such areas as Japan, India and China. :Within a comprehensive program of family planning , abortion must be included as a method for women who chose not to utilize or have no access to the "Pill" or other contraceptive measures . The recent Supreme Court that allows for abortion during the first six month~ of pregnancy has brought widespread opposition, mostly from the Cathol~c church or organizations affiliated with the Church. Population and ecol~g1cal expert_s agree that abortion, in a program of family counseling, is a rat10nal ~ecess1ty to stem the seemingly endless cycle of overpopulation. The V_atican r~fuses J_o budge from its arch~ic and apocalyptic dogma concerning abort10n. This stance would deprive this country and world of a me~~ure that could halt this planet 's headlong rush to an overpopulated obhv10n . T~e roots of the Church's stubborn opposition lie in the pre-Malt_hus1an pa~t when the world was not faced with the problem of a geometric population growth curve versus an arithmetic food and land resou~ce ~urve . By striking a delicate balance between the practical exped1enc1es and the moral questins of abortion, the Supreme Court has done this country a great service.

Last rites . The hour-to-hour way we live. God is in our minds every time we hit the trench. An hour later true-time takes over and fills us up with love remembered or good-time love to come. I killed a man today. The only thing I'd hurt before was you one time while making love and then I only kissed too hard. How does it feel to kill? Like dying lonesome and unloved yourself. Like cutting living grass, or loosing all your marbles in a match that wasn't right. They are not dummies on an infiltration field the silent enemy breathes too. Someone should have told me that before I ran that endless field. When true-time takes me over now after God has held my mind awhile, I think of love. I love my fellow man perhaps a little more today. Tomorrow I'll go gently then and give the other side a chance.

Is it true? A few weeks ago several students expressed concern to this editor that "the old Wilkes College spirit just ain't what she used to be." They maintained that fan appreciation at other schools is much more boisterous and lively and that the zombie-look is the "now thing" for Wilkes College spectator as he stolidly sits and yawns his enthusiasm for marvelous athletic feats . We talked to a few people to get a better perspective on this problem and arrived at the conclusion that there is far from total agreement on the matter. Student Government President and Public Address man at all Colonels basketball and wrestling contests, Mike Barski stated, "Due to the effects of the flood, the spirit is unique this year. Maybe not so much the spirit, as the scheduling which gave us an overabundance of home contests during semester break and Christmas vacation." He noted, though, that many out-of-staters made the trip to Wilkes for events over the vacation period. Athletic director and head wrestling coach, John Reese, attributes fan reticence to "a greater level of sophistication" on the part of the college student. "Fan-wise, college kids aren't as noisy as high school kids . College students are more knowledgeable and cheer only when an important action happens, or when they anticipate its happening." ying a second half geyser- ' Final countdown starts tomorrow evening on the last full week of Wilkes College's winter athletic program. Wrestling will go out with a big boom as the Colonel matmen entertain arch-rival East Stroudsburg tonight and then conclude their dual slate Saturday, hosting Massachusetts and Army in a triangular . The triangular will be the first three-way match of the year at the South Franklin Street gymnasium. Wilkes and Army will kick off the event at 1 p.m., followed by a Massachusetts-Army fray at 3. Evening session finds Wilkes battling Massachusetts at 8. Of closer interest will be the Thursday cross Pocono Mountain confrontation, pitting Wilkes against East Stroudsburg . After a 7-9 off-year last winter, the Warriors have shown constant improvement with the return of Coach Clyde "Red" Witman from a year of sabbatical leave. East Stroudsburg was 11-6 at last count.

Trailing 35-30 at intermission, the Blue and Gold under ·Coach Bearde rallied to take a 58-52 lead with 4: 10 remaining in the game . The Colonels were forced to fend off a feverish Crusader rally which fell short. Offensive pacesetters for the locals were Steve Ference, 13; Mark Ca terson , 12; and Greg Buzinski, 10. The host team was paced by the scoring antics of Jim Eaglin who netted 22 points . Caterson Stars A layup by Caterson with five seconds left proved to be the margin of victory as Wilkes defeated Moravian at the South Franklin Street gymnasium, 48-46. Both teams featured deliberate offenses and tight man-for-man defenses . The win brought the Colonels to the .500 level at 9-9, while Moravian slid to 4-13. The Greyhounds are in a rebuilding year and have only one senior on the roster. Appropriately, it was Caterson who led the scoring parade for the Blue and Gold with 14 points. Ference aided the Colonels' cause with 10 points. Wilkes jumped out to an early 6-0 lead but Moravian battled back to take a 24-22 lead with 2: 22 left till halftime. Caterson's two foul shots gave the home forces a precarious 26-25 lead at intermission. The lead changed hands several times as Mehalick, a talented 6'5" freshman, repeatedly sparked rallies for the visiting Greyhounds. Moravian tied the score at 46-46 with : 40 left after a foul was called on Mark Caterson. The Colonels then proceeded to methodically run the clock down to : 10 and called time out. A quick pass to Caterson provided a quick layup .

Psychiatrist Makes 'House Calls' "A family is like a drama company," says one southern psychiatrist, so he goes to see the play. By making house calls that last a few hours or a few days, Dr. Alfred Messer of Atlanta, Georgia, can diagnose the problems of the whole family. He observes how they communicate, what roles they play and how they fit into the family unit. "It's important today that the psychiatrist know all the factors affecting his patient," Dr. Messer explains in the December Science Digest, and replacing the couch with house calls helps him do this. +++ Archaeological looting is on the rl·se, despite strict penalti·es, because the market for stolen artifacts is l·ncreas1·ng .

If 6,000 signatures, in petition form, are received by March 14, 1973, voters will then have a chance in May to elect an 11-person commission to study our government at a county level. This charter commission will then have a 9-12-month period to study our system and decide if it needs to be revised. Correct Procedures The key right now, according to Andrew Shaw, director of the Institute of Regional Affairs and head of the college's political science department, is getting the procedures in correct form. Shaw states, "When signing a petition, be sure you have met all the requirements to make it valid. Make sure you are a registered voter of Luzerne County and make sure not to use ditto marks or any other abbreviations. Failure to follow these procedures invalidates your signa lure ." Shaw also emphasizes the immediate goal of the program . He says, "Our firs't goal is just to get the commission started. It's imperative that we get a look at our government (county level) at a first-hand level. Any changes can be made later, but we must first get the commission started." Voter Registration If the 6,000 signatures are recei_ved by deadline date March 14, then part two of the program gets rolling. The second function is to find 11 people to work on the commission. The panel is open to anyone who is a registered Luzerne County voter . To be eligible, if you meet the above criteria, just have a petition signed as if you were running for any county office. When this is done, your name will appear on the ballot. Party designations will not be listed by the nominee's name, as to not influence voters in that way. Needless to say, every civic and citizens organization in the county is backing the charter study idea . Playing a bit part in getting petitions signed is ·Student Government President Mike Barski. Other groups involved are Flood Task Force , also under the direction of Shaw, and Flood Victims Action Council, under the leadership of Min Matheson. Andrew Shaw Mike Barski Barski College Coordinator Six Area Colleges Join To Aid In Petition Drive Mike Barski, Student Government president, will head the collegiate effort in trying to get petitions signed concerning the charter study commission.

Let's not pass it up and wait for the other guy, but go out and sign the petition in the correct way, or better yet, go to Mr . Shaw's office, in Franklin Hall , get a petition and have it signed. This is not an idea to be taken lightly. Without the 6,000 correct signatures by March, the commission goes out the window . With the signatures and the commission, the word "democracy" will finally mean something!

During that period college students we·re the first group to jump into the program and start clean-up campaigns of their own. It was not unusual for whole groups and organizations to spend free weekends cleaning up parks and other facilities. So college students must be the neatest people in the country. Right? Wrong, at least not as far as the student body of Wilkes College is concerned. Students this year returned to a flood ravaged campus, with piles of mud and debris left out on the street. Over the months, that situation has been cleared up, but something else remains - litter throughout the campus. Student Government President Mike Barski suggested installing "Colonel" garbage cans to remind the students to put litter in its proper place. A cute idea, but is it really necessary? A natural d isaster such as the one that hit the Wyoming Va lley last June is one thing. But the human-related problem is anbther. We cannot always control the natural forces, but , we can contro l our own environment. Make it a point the next time you attend a Wilkes function: pr walk out of the Commons with a cup of coffee to put the trash in a can . We CAN control the beauty of our campus. Community Effort Next Tuesday Mike Barski, collegiate coordinator for a Luzerne County effort to create a charter commission to study our government at a county level, has called for a mass meeting of all commuter students at 11 a.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. The key to the success of the effort right now is the collection -of a minimum of 6,000 signatures on a petition to move to create a study commission. This is not a direct move to ct,ange the government. Rather · it is a move to create a commission to look at the present system of government in Luzerne County and see what changes, if any, are required. You, as members of this community can make it a point ,to become involved and learn the issues, and actually do something about the system of government you are living under. If a total of six schools in the general area really get in volved in this effort, the 6,000 signatures could be obtained on the collegiate leve l. The only requirement is that you must be a registered voter in Lu zerne County . In addition to the drive to get the legislation on the ballot this year, Wilkes Student Government intends to start a voter registration campaign. If you are 18 years,of age and have not registered, make it a point to take advantage of registering on campus. And if you were registered and have not re-registered, make it a point to take advantage of registering on campus. And if you were registered and have not re:registered since the flood, make it a point to do so. You now have the opportunity to take an active part in your future, with a minimum of effort. Take ad\Bntage of it. • *• Cheap. Sil/up Replies To Spencer's Addres Thrills *· This letter is in answer to Mr . Brent Spencer's opinionated address concerning the apathy of Wilkes College students. To begin with in being a self-appointed spokesman for the students who obviously do not ail share his point of view, Mr . Spencer's vicious attack on the " degenerate" social pursuits of Wilkes College students puzzles me. Whether he is inferring that the social functions are not reputable or that they are unnecessary eludes me. It is true that education is the primary purpose of our college, ,with its high academic standards. However , the social functions not only provide a necessary phase in \he maturation of the college s,tudent, but also a chance to become better acquainted with the administrative personnel of Wilkes College. Furthermore in his-assault on the Beacon's reporting os proting events, Spencer . criticizes an important aspect of character building as well as degrades the Beacon's presentation of them . In closing , it is important to point out to Mr. Spencer that without the plays , expositions , clubs, films , Manuscript writings - a former practice of Mr . Spencer's which has succumbed to his recent letter writing - sporting events, Student Government functions , the Beacon and the Amnicola, and other student activities college life would cease to exist. In forwarding his criticism, Spencer denounces the activities of the majority of Wilkes College students. An attitude such as Spencer's is offensive and would lead to a system of greater apathy. · George P.

Age Proposed To the Editor: " In Pennsylvania an 18-year-old can buy a barroom - but he can't buy a drink in his own establishment." This was the.opening statement of an editorial comment entitled "Lower Drinking Age" which appeared in the " Times-Leader Evening NewsRecord" newspaper dated January 18, 1973. This is quite a paradox in itself. The Pennsylvania liquor law as it stands would , therefore, make it mandatory for every 18 to 20-year-old who owns a bar to be arrested and jailed. Why? Weil , in order to carry on his establishment, he would have to purchase liquor either directly or indirectly . Doing this he would, therefore, be breaking the law because even the act of buying liquor is unlawful. Obviously the law is not sound and should be corrected or changed . If this article bothers you , don't end your interest by putting this paper down and just -commenting . Do your part - be active. Get involved in a united movement to get the legislature to lower the drinking age in Pennsylvania . You now hold a powerful instrument in your hands the power of a vote.

I realized in an instant that they would not possibly have as much knowledge as me (I had 20 billion brain cells in my head the last time I counted.) Therefore, I have decided to publish gratis (unfortunately) my helpful hints for teachers . Cut out these "commandments" so you won't be forced to memorize them. 1. Enforce all rules which pertain to any other set of rules so as to rule out any unnecessary ramifications from these rules being disobeyed. 2. Strictly adhere to the enforcement of rule no . 1 because it is an importa nt rule. 3. Never chew gum in fron of your class - turn your back on them and chew. 4. Always wear a long, dark-colored tie - it will prove invaluable when wiping the chocolate mess from your hands. 5. Treat your class like you have been treated - yes ; rotten. Sock-it-to-them . Arrange a friendly game of Russian roulette for trouble-makers and ' 'brownies .'' 6. Deal out proper punishment suitable to the offense. Late arriving students should be kept after classes and ordered to sing "You 're So Vain " as they write your name on the blackboard 1000 times. 7. Don 't date students- first check to see if they have an older brother or sister or perhaps a naive, young a unt. 8. Give,enough homework . Check the students' eyes to see if they 're baggy and blood-shot, if they are not, then proceed to assign weekly term papers . 9. Let yo.v.r teaching philosophy be manifested in your tests . Trick the little ratfinks with your bag of academic trivia . Use blue books which can easily be bent, broken, ripped, torn , spindled or mutilated - it frus trates everyone. 10. Ar range to meet with the pa rents of your students to see who is really doing the homework assignments. Remember to check their eyes first . Then proceed to inquire if your local school board pays commission for enrolling adults iri tllieir evening program . . · By rigidly following these "commandments" you will be : I - • t . -· A. a better teacher . . B. slightly insai;ie C. a local junkie D. a party pooper E . all of the above.

On hand for the presentation were, left to right: R.P. Power, regional distribution manager; S.F. Davies, vice presieent of Westinghouse Corporation, Philadelphia; Dr. Francis J. Michelini, president of Wilkes College; and Thomas Kelly, director of development at the college. In a letter addressed to Dr. Michelini, George E. Moore, executive secretary of the Foundation, stated, "The Trustees were impressed with your significant efforts to rebuild after this massive damage, and the favorable response you have received from the community-at-large, industry, and the federal government. .. "We would appreciate being kept informed of your progress toward complete campus renewal. We wish you every success in your dedicated educational mission in the greater Wilkes-Barre area." Immediately following the June disaster, Wilkes was faced with two massive problems - the immediate problem of restoring the campus physically so that classes and educational facilities could be resumed, and the long-range problem of how to continue with innovations and expansion in keeping with pre-flood planning. Thanks to the aid provided by the federal government, Wilkes was able to snap back physically and with the aid of private firms and grants, the college will be well on the way to greater revitalization.

Is administration of the military a sufflc1entl_y _important p~ofession, sufficiently requiring highly educated m_en, suf~1c1ently receptive to such men, to justify university training? Fmally, 1s th_ere any f~ndamental ethical or ac<1demic incompatibility between th~ ideals of _higher education and the ideals of the military? T_he quest10n of the importance of the military speedily answers itself. While we may expect some further cuts, the national expenditures for armed forces are likely to remain above 50 or 60 billion dollars per year. Clea_rly th~ men runn_ing expenditures of that kind are important enough to m_entquahty profess10nal education. The military compares in importance w~th other professions, and will continue to do so even if, as we all devoutly wish, there are no future major wars. . If we me~sure ~he tasks of the military in other ways - their effect on the lives of the1r soldiers, the effect of their military actions on the lives of other people - we cannot doubt the importance of a high degree of education for ou~ officers. A half hour of immqturity on the part of one ill-educated junior officer can affect our whole national image adver'sely. m_u~t conclude in answer to the first question that our colleges and umvers1tites have an important responsibility for education of our military leaders comparable to their responsibility for education of other leaders of our society . Are the services receptive to university trained men? There is no doubt of the answer to part of the question. All three services would rather commission college graduates . The 511 ROTC units and the OCS programs for college graduates are adequate evidence of service desire for men educated by civilian institutions. There is, however, another aspect of this question which is more difficult to answ~r. Are the armed services really willing to accept men whom the umyers1ty has_ e?ucated for th~ military, or do they merely want to inject their own trammg programs mto the university where the bulk of the promising_ candidates ar_e to ~e found? Profe~sional education is typically a partnership between umvers1ty and profess10n. Are the military services ( "the professitm"l willing to make a real partnership with the universities and c?lleges? If not, the university obligation becomes. small. · Until the recent ROTC controversy, the issue of the exact nature of the partners?iP between academia and the armed forces has not been raised. Many umver~ities paid little or no attention to the quality of ROTC courses, or of ROTC mstructors. The services planned their curricula with little attention to the differing capacity of students at different universities. It is to be hoped that this attitude of mutual unconcern has now come to an end, tha~ universities will actively supervise their ROTC programs, and that the serv1c~s _will welcome and work with this cooperation. If the concept of partnership m ROTC becomes more effective, the turmoil of the last year or so will have served a useful purpose. Our final and key question is whether or not higher education and military education are incompatible. A careful look at the academic compatibility of military education requ1res a delimitation of education itself. What are the parameters of a liberal education? It seems to me that there are. two major boundary lines which we should respect. . F1_rs~ of all, _the courses should include material that either requires a d1sc1plmed mmd to handle, or helps to develop a disciplined mind . Mathematics, physics, chemistry, economics, history and foreign languages are all examples of such fields. The portion of memory or of reasoning power required may vary from course to course but all of these are "hard" subjects. There are other fields of study whi~h can be hard subjects. Second, among the characteristics of a liberal education I would include the necessity of some variety. Good hard instruction in chemistry alone or economics alone will not necessarily produce the kind of trained sensitive mi?d which liberal education should help to produce. Even though our academic "requirements" of differing courses seem clumsy, they do help to open a person 's mind to a variety qi differing approaches to most of the problems of life . Such variety is essential to a liberal education. The third general characteristic of a liberal education which I would ~emand is more controversial. It seems to me that an education is not really liberal unless ~he educators feel some sense of responsibility to help the student thmk his way towards a better world. This better world need not be strictly a "do-gooder" paradise. It may be the spiritual world of the trained theological thinker. It may be some kind of scientific Utopia. To me it is the shaping of institutions which give every individual a real chance to make s_omething of himself. All I am saying is that I would not wish to keep on a hberal arts faculty a person who had no ambition for better things to come. It should be noted that these three simple criteria are different from several other frequently advanced criteria of a liberal education. I have little patience with the view of one educational fraternity that liberal education is at its best in women's colleges with a large number of majors in English and history. · "!e There is also little basis for the argument that a liberal education must be of no vocational val':1e· It seems to me that a young man in engineering, may secure a good liberal education if he has enough social science and human_ities c?urses. In fact, ~s a distinguished leader of American higher educat10n pomted out to me m the 1950's, some of the engineering schools were movmg towards a genuine liberal education, while the liberal arts colleges were moving towards highly specialized majors which really did not always produce liberally educated graduates . If ':<e have now a_ fairly reasonable series of boundaries of what we mean by liberal educat1~n, that is, genuine intellectual fields of knowledge, carefully explored, m some reasonable variety, with some desire of teacher a~d- student ~?r em~lo~ment i? the interest of society, how may the study of military subJects fit mto a liberal education? A brief look at the problem of materials of instruction in a military educat10n shows how frequently they have civilian analogies among the r~ugh subjects. Military ,history is, of course, a significant part of general history, and can only be understood with some knowledge of general history. Military engineering is, of course, an important part of general engineering. In fact, the study of engineering in the United States owes a great deal to early developments at West Point. Military psychology is an important part of regular psychology. Military administration and organization have been an important part of general studies in these fields . It is clear that these fields of military ipstruction are as much "hard subjects" as the academic counterparts from which they come. To that extent, military education is within the parameters of a liberal education.

A large part of the thievery occurs in dormitories where many of the students leave their doors unlocked all day. With the large number of people coming and going all day on a typical campus, it becomes an easy matter for the thief to simply walk from room to room and take what he pleases. Another problem is the student body itself. "Students steal everything, even if it's nailed down," reports Robert Doran , a detective sergeant at UCLA .

District Judo Championships held in Penns Grove, New Jersey on February 10, 1973. Murty competed in the 176-pound division . He won a gold medal for first place. He then was eligible to compete against the first place winners of the other five weight divisions for the award of Grand Champion. He defeated his opponents to fight the championship match by successfully applying mat techniques on his opponents . One of these wins was secured by applying a choking technique until his opponent was in a state of unconsciousness (resulting from disrupting the flow of blood to the carotid artery or jugular vein), an automatic victorv. The Wilkes judoka fought the Grand Championship match against Jack Daniels (open weight division), 34-year-old second degree black belt, from the Ishikawa Judo Club in Philadelphia. The match lasted the full five minutes . No points were scored by either opponents and Murty lost by a close decision to Daniels. The first place victory in his weight division makes Murty eligible to Fred Murty compete in the 21st A.A.U . National Judo Championships, the largest, Atlanta, Ga. in April.

Different persons have pondered, " Why can't several companies sell class rings on a competitive basis? " Wll, it now appears this will become a reality . Miss Millie Gittins, who is head of the bookstore , stated the administi:ation has given her permission to contact three companies to sell class rings for the 1973-74 school year. Tnis will create an air of competition between the companies, and the advantage to the students is that they will be given a l.;rger selection of rings to choose from and at better prices . Miss Gittins further stated that one company will offer the convenience of sending the ring to the student C.O.D . He will not have to make a deposit . She went on to say, "Another advantage of this n·ew system is that the student can come in anytime during or even after his senior year to purchase his class ring . The student does not have to place his order in his junior year.

This program, unlike student teaching , is one in which the student is paid while he is learning more about his chosen profession. The Accounting Internship Program composes the largest part of a three-credit course, Accounting 252. This course is taken in the second semester of the senior year. The actual work period for students extends from January 22 to March 16. The students are placed on the basis of interviews with potential employers in October of the preceding year. The student may be given several job offers and has the opportunity to choose from among these employers. The rare student who does not receive a job offer must take another course in lieu of Accounting 252 . Salaries are less than the regular employees are paid, although salaries can go as high as $700 per month. From this salary , a student is required to pay for all living'expenses (such as food , clothing and housing). While on the job, the student is observed on one occasion by either Paul Zavada or Robert Ca pin. This observation entails a conferen..:ewith the individual student and his immediate supervisor, so as to arrive at a fair evaluation. Upon returning to campus, the student must finish his academic work load on an accelerated basis. The student is required to write a summary of ·e xperiences while involved with the program . Below is the list of students who are now in the Accounting Internship Program for this semester: STUDENT FIRM LOCATION John Benavage Lybrand, Ross Bros. &Montgomery Boston, Mass . ~e~ior mu~ic majors on the Wilkes College Campus who are planning a career in teaching began pre-clas Susan Manna Lybrand, Ross Bros. &Montgomery Philadelphia, Pa.

VIEWPOINT WCLH 90.7 FM Wilkes College Listening Habit by Linda Stevens This past Saturday, another first occurred at WCLH. The finals of ~he Middle Atlantic Conference Wrestling Tournament were broadcasted hve from West Chester, Pa . over WCLH. The effort was sponsored by Dr. Francis J. Michelini, the Lettermen 's Club and Student Government. Broadcasters and engineers included George Pawlush, director of sports information for Wilkes College, Pat Burke, Owen Costello, Jay Thomas and Tony Pietrzykoski. Presently , WCLH also broadcasts Wilkes' basketball games ~ive and ne~t year hopes to expand into all other campus sports .. Anyone mterested_m sports broadcasting is asked to stop by the WCLH stud10s l?Cated on the tlurd floor of the music building . There are also openings avadable on the news staff for anyone who would like to rewrite news stories from the newspaper. For any interested student teachers, George Siles of the education department has originated a show on WCLH intended for elementary school children. On this show, the kids, all from local schools, interview each other about their hobbies, pets and activities, and special features include a joke of the week and a record of the week. The program offers great fun for both the kids and the student teachers, so any student teacher who would like any of his students to appear on the show is asked to contact Siles. Siles also has another show which spotlights educational leaders in Wyoming Valley. This past Monday, Jozia Mieszkowski, artistic coordinator for the Ballet Society of Wyoming Valley, was featured. She discussed plans for the first ballet production of the year, which will be held at the Wilkes College Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, March 24 at 8 p.m . and on Sunday at 2 p.m. Siles' show can be heard regularly on WCLH on Mondays at 8 p.m . Future guests include: Mrs. Gloria Whitman, Dallas Elementary School Guidance Counselor on M~rch 5; Gerald Wycolis , principal in the Dallas Area School District on March 12; Richard Fuller, professor of Art Education at Wilkes College and Mrs. Rosalie Nutaitis, art instructor at Wyoming Valley West on March 19; Lynn Werkheiser, superintendent of the Dallas Area School District and Mrs. Gloria Whitman on March 26. WCLH will soon be putting out a complete program guide. It will include a listing of the programs which can be heard on WCLH and the times at which they can be heard . One valuable feature of this guide is that it will also include a description of each program to let you know what it's about. The program guide will be available free of cost at the library, commons and other highly-frequented spots on campus - look for it! • Library Open-House' 1 The Wilkes College library is holding an open house through March 3 for the benefit of local libraries and other libraries devastated by the June flood last year. Wilkes has received over the past few months thousands of books donated by universities, colleges, AFROTC nationwide campaigns and private contributi ons. Within the "basement storehouse" of the library there are now books that are duplicates or unsuitable for the college collection. Wilkes is therefore taking this opportunity to share these with other educational institutions throughout the Wyoming Valley who were equally hard hit by the June devastation. Auerbach Blasted On Tuesday, February 20, the Concert and Lecture Series presented Miguel Ribio, a classical guitarist. The treatment afforded to Mr. Rubio prior to the concert by those in charge of the program is, I admit, unknown to me . After a phenomenal performance, there was no hospitality shown to him by Lee Auerbach or any other college "diplomats" that are ever present when a more noted personality makes an appearance. Mr. Rubio, who evidently has a vision proglem, was left to his own devices to return to the Hotel Sterling. Finally, an official of the college asked a student to escort him to the hotel and he was driven by two students, one an officer of Cue 'n' Curtain, who are in no-way connected with the Concert and Lecture Series or Student Government. If not for this unofficial hospitality, Mr . Rubio would have been· alone and friendless in a strange city with a poor conception of Wilkes_ students, faculty and administration . In any case, this was nothing but shoddy treatment of a guest artist by Mr. Auerbach and others involved in this program . It seems that when someone a little more well known or appealing to Mr. Auerbach appears, such as Jean Shepard, Jack Anderson or Jose Greco, he becomes their shadow and assigns himself the position of official college ass-kisser. (the Beacon may substitute the word 'brown-noser or whatever they deem appropriate.) On the occasion of Julian Bond's appearance here last year, Mr. Auerbach took it upon himself to ask me to leave the Reading Room of the C.P.A . when I had every right to be there as a member of the theater staff on the job that night. If auerbach is to assume this role as " host" to visiting artists, I suggest that he extend his " hospitality " to everyone, including performing artists. If he doesn't have time for Lillian Gish on March 8, I offer the services of myself and Cue 'n' Curtain to make Miss Gish welcome to Wilkes. But then again, Lillian Gish is a known personality , so I guess there will be no need . .. Matt Hughes President , Cue 'n' Curtain �Page 4 Editorially Speaking What's An Advisor? The faculty advisor is becoming a forgotten person on the Wilkes College campus. As a m?tter of fact, we'd be willing to bet at least half of the students on campus don't even know their faculty advisor's name. It's an ironic state. Every year in September, the Administration spends the ti me and money to serid out in the mail to incoming freshmen a card telling them the name of their advisor. Unfortunately, that is as far as it goes. The job, or alleged job, of the faculty advisor, is to help the student along in his academic matters. He is the one who is supposed to be there when the student has a problem. It's a good thing the faculty advisor of each student has to sign the student's pre-registration form or he would virtually be non-existent. Who's fault is it? It's both the student and advisor whQ are to blame. Most faculty advisors make little or no effort to contact the students they advise and vice-versa. As sad as it may seem, many of the so-called advisors are incompetent. This resu Its in the student's needing to take extra credits his senior year to make up for credits he never needed in earlier years. The faculty advisor system needs a good looking over by the administration before it becomes totally forgotten. It is by far a good program because if, and we stress if, the faculty knew the required courses, it would alleviate many headaches for students in their senior year. It should be stressed that the Administration should either stop wasting the eight-cent stamp to send out the card _ to each freshman or make the faculty advisor system worth while. As it stands now, students are barely getting their eight cents' worth out of the program. Think It Over The first theater production of the spring semester at Wilkes College will be presented Friday, Salu Sunday. March !J, 10 and 11 at 8 p.m . in the Center for the Performing Arts. The Wilkes Theater, under the direction of Alfred Groh, will stage a production of Bertolt Brecht's, " Woman of Setzuan," with original music composed by Stefan Wolpe. An additional high school preview performance will be presented on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Final rehearsals are currently under way at the CPA. Shown, left to right, are: Ruthanne Jones, Kil Fran Polakowski, Tom Polifka and David Schimmel. Assisting in the production is Joseph Salsburg, with stage design by Klaus Holm, veteran stage a The performances are open to the student body and general public free of charge.

SG Elections Meeting To This year Wilkes College students are faced with an important issue that will affect not only the current student body, but the entire student body for many years to come. We are asked to vote on the acceptance of a newly drawn-up constitution for Student Government. . The past two weeks the Beacon has run the entire Constitution in the hope that the student body will take the time_ to read it over carefully before deciding to pass the · leglslation as it is Jjrbposed. Reading through the Constitution as it now stands, we have found several loopholes, which not only provide for the supreme control by members of the Student:Government, but a"lso provide them with an out, should people get into power who might chose to take complete advantage of the power delegated . to them by the Constitution. The upcoming election schedule for Student Government representatives and class officers was announced during last Monday night 's SG meeting. Nominations for these offices will be held on March 15 followed by the elections on March 22. Also, SG will hold nominations for their 1973-74 , president on the eve· of March 22.

Over the years , the POW wing gradually established a military command structure with local commanders, executive officers and deputies in charge of operations, intelligence and training . (For fear of North Vietnamese reprisals , the returning POW's were carefully shielding the identity of the wing commander-in-chief-who remains in Hanoi.) The senior officers within this group exercised farreaching powers. The wing command even promoted three sergeants to officers, with the understanding that the commissions were subject to review and approval by the Pentagon, the White House and Congress. Working with their own appointed chaplains, one group of PO W's compiled an abridged Bible from memory-and the wing tapped its own historian to chronicle the story of the camps.

Thus far this season, the swim team has posted a 2-8 log . Their toughest foes this year came in the triangula r meet with Lock Haven State and Lycoming scoring 79 and 77 points respectively , with Wilkes scoring 34 points . Jeff points out that depth is the problem for the Wilkes swim team . Most teams carry anywhere from 15 to 25 swimmers , whereas Wilkes carr ies only 7. In most meets thus far, Wilkes was forced to forfeit two events because of a lack of personnel. Their 2-8 recor d is not a true indication of the team . Walk says that the team is much better than 2-8, and at least four matches this year that have gone down to the wire could have been in Wilkes' favor .

In short, what we have avoided over the yea rs, is becomin[ a c ity with in a ci t y - branchi ng out, yet st ill be ing co mpletely independent. This would mea n a store o n cam pus, a snack' bar o pen daily, laundry facili t ies, and anything e lse t houg ht to be important to the convenience of t he Wi lke s fa m ily. We have most of the faciliti es, yet one thing is lacking, particula rly on weekends. We don't have access to a snack bar over a majo rity of the weekend. If a student living on campus wants a sandwich during the day on Saturday or Sunday, or Saturday even ing, he ha s to go some distance off campus to get such a delicacy. Stu,dent s and fac ulty studying in the li brary t hese days have no place to go for a break or a co ke. Since the fl ood, many of the areas th at wou ld no rmally service t he cam pus have not com~ back. Wilkes has put up without a Student Union Center but should we really be made to put up withou t regular acces~ to a snack bar and an informal place to gather? By havin g the Co mmons, an area a lready suited fo r such a service, o pen a large part of t he weekend, t wo major objectives would be accompl ished.

Barrett Frosh Rep 'of S.G. ** * * The park ing problem at and around Wilkes College cont inues to be a major concern for commuting students. Meters surround the college on all four sides and a one-hour pc1.rking lim it is enforced where meters are not present. The commuting student pays over $2,000 per year for an education, yet the college feels new buildings, more classrooms and other problems outrank the perennial parking problem. Anyone with classes for three hours or more a day is forced, and we stress forced, to pay over a dollar to park in a municipal parking lot. Either that, or take the risk of being caught by the "eagle-eyed" meter maid who makes it her point to patrol Franklin, River, Northampton and South Streets like Wilkes students are the only people who overpark. The problem is not as severe at King's Coi'lege where the administration took it upon itself to build a parking garage which is less than five minutes from the farthest classroom. At King' s, it costs a student but 50 cents to park his vehicle for the whole day. A shuttle bus service allowing the students to park at Ralston Field and then be transferred ~ver by bus to the campus was tried. By lack of interest and use, this plan was discarded. Another solution was to try and have Park and Lock grant a reduced rate for Wilkes students, but this solution was deemed impossible. Apparently the only solution for this growing problem is to tear down King's College, have Wilkes buy the land and make Lee Auerbach it a parking area. Perhaps the land would serve more purpose Answers Back then than it is now! , To the Editor : Area , , Lighting Thrills SG Reporting Is Criticized Congratulations are in order for Matt Hughes and his article entitled " Auerbach Blasted " in last week's Beacon . Congratulations Matt for not going out and getting all the facts and congratulations•for misrepresenting the few you had . To set the record straight, Mr . Rubio , the Concert and Lecture artist on February 20, was met at the airport , taken on a tour of the Valley, the residential flood area and campus including a tour of the CPA, where he was most graciously met only by the cleaning woman mopping for his evening's performance. After a rest at the Sterling Hotel, Senior Rubio was picked up by Dean Edward Baltruchitis (Administrative Director of Concert and Lecture l and myself for dinner. At this time Dean Baltruchitis was made aware of Senior's vision impairment. With the spring weather coming up and more people taking to bicycle riding and walking as exercise, the question of adequate lighting comes to mind. One region of particular concern is the River Commons, an area used by members of the community and Wilkes students. Since the June flood last year, the string of lights set , up along the Commons area has not been operational. This affects the Wilkes campus directly, as part of the ,lighting used on the Commons helped light River Street, where student traffic to and from night classes is heavy. We might suggest that the Wilkes College Student Government, the lnter-Dorry,itory Council and the Commuter Council join in an effort to get the city of Wilkes-Barre to set up adequate lighting along the River Common. Wilkes College would be doing itself a favor and also aiding the community by acting on the lighting _situation.

Professor Paul Saltman University of Californis, San Diego By Campus Studies Institute, a division of World Research, Inc . rontinued on Page 8) College President Defends Rating' Students 1 The following is the first of a two-part article extracted from the Chronicle of Higher Education. Its author is Robert W. Fleming, president of . the University of Michigan . The point of view concerns rating students. "Recently , I spent one evening with an old friend and colleague who ranks clearly as one of America's most distinguished educators. He comes from one of our best universities . While reflecting on the world of higher education, he mentioned that he had recently served on a three-man doctoral committee. After reading the thesis he was convinced that it was not worthy of approval, and he informed his colleagues that he did not consider it to be of a caliber which that particular university should endorse . His fellow committee members thought this tended to be an elitist concept, that the real question was whether the individual had done what he started out to do, and that he should be tested against himself rather than others . This seemed to my friend , and I must admit to me, a discouraging and, in the long-rim , self-defeating road to follow . He thought there was a small, but significant, group at his university committed to this view . He wondered what I thought about our university, and I realized that I was not sure of the answer . There were, however, some straws in the the wind which bothered me. We do know that there are departments in which grade averages have moved up one full grade in the last few years. Is this because the students are so much better? This seems unlikely. Earlier I expressed both endorsement of, and reservations about, current experiments with the grading system .· The principal change in recent years has been in the direction of pass-fail. I think a pass-fail system has some real merit - but not for the reasons which some of its proponents advance. There are those who believe that it is wrong to compare students with one another in any way, or even to judge their work. They espouse pass-fail because they think it comes closer to their ideal than any other system which their colleagues will accept. Insofar as that is the purpose of a pass-fail system, I am in complete ' disagreement with it. To throw out pass-fail grading because there are those who hold the above view would, in my view, be an equal mistake . There are valid arguments for it. It amy very well enqmrage students who have· an interest in, but no aptitude for , a certain field to broaden their education without feeling the pressures of competition while doing so. When students are of the quality which we have, it may be that their education is improved by not working under the pressure of Jetter grades. We know that letter grades are not as precise as some would suggest. And there is food for thought in the fact that when faculty members are being evaluqted by their students they usually want somethi ng like 20 factors considered, whereas the student gets his grade largely as the result of examinations. The notion that pass-fail, as it is usually applied, is not a grading system is , of course, false. It simply replaces letter grades with individual evaluations. Indeed , these evaluations may not be very hard to translate into the traditional grading syslem . have had some personal experience with this, becuase an occasional student whom I get to know will ask me to write a letter on his behalf to a graduate school . When thi s happens, I naturally want to know something of his academic record, because my knowledge of the individual tends to be outside the elassroom . If his work has been practicaly all pass-fail, I ask to see the individual evaluations by the prof"essors. In reding through them, one has no difficulty understanding what kind of student this is. It is not, therefore , a system which forgoes comparison or declines to rate students, though its supporters must recognize the hazard that those who evaluate such transcripts will do little more than find shorthand ways of translating the personal evaluations into grades. In addition , the multiplicity and potential fuzziness of verbal evaluations may lead to nationwide certification and evaluat ion examinations. This is the system which many European countries use, and which is so unsatisfactory to many people who have first-hand experience with it."

Buddy Brezinski further noted that anyone else with such tickets must settle up with the College soon. The last campus dance dropped a sizable $300. A spokesman for the Dance Committee explained that the student body simply was not turning out . Jim Fiorino suggested that the Wilkes Community Effort take over the project and aim the dances at a broader population. Maureen Kortbawi further suggested that better planning and the avoidance of conflicts would result in larger crowds. The Newspaper Committee was Flood Research Done By Dept.

Dean Baltruchitis commented that he would ask someone else to see Mr . Rubio back after the performance. Matt, this was YOUR " official of the college witb no connection with Concert and Lecture." Prior to the conclusion of the evening 's performance I became aware thatMarcio Menezes had been asked if he would accompany the Senior after the concert, I introduced Marcio to Mr. Rubio (they quickly entered into a conversation in Spanish ) upon being introduced to the people DRIVING Senior to the Hotel and being convinced of his safe return, I left. Matt, if you consider this a lack of hospitality on my behalf, or on the behalf of the entire Concert and Lecture Committee, I apologize. One last note concerning your incident with Julian Bond. Matt, on the morning of Mr . Bond 's lecture, the college received an anonymous phone call making a threat on his life. Due to an attempted attack on a previous concert and lecture speaker, Father James Croppi, we took every precaution possible on this matter. You were asked to leave the reading room so that a private and secure interview could be held for local media and so that the side entrance to the stage, accessable through the reading room , could be secured. Matt , in the future, please make an attempt to check out the facts before blowing off steam and thank you for your concern.

Mrs. Ralston's first major recital in the area was held Tuesday, March 6, at the Elm Park Recital Hall, 712 Linden Street, Scranton. The two first worked together in 1962, when Roberts was a student at Wilkes ( where Mrs. Ralston's husband is dean). At that time, they appeared as guest artists on the Concordia Series. Later, when Roberts was actively involved with th.e Young Musicians organization, Mrs. Ralston sang the leading role in Gian-Carlo Menotti's "The Medium."

Selection was made by members of this year's Colonel varsity cage squad. A tie at one of the guard positions resulted in six men being voted to the second annual unit. Returnees from last year's alignment are Albright's 6-1 junior guard, Paul Mellini, and Lycoming College's 6-4 junior sharpshooter , Rich Henniger. Also voted to the star studded team were John Lang , 6-3 freshman guard, Madison FDU ; Kevin Morrissey, 6-0 senior guard, East Stroudsburg State; Jack Maher , 6-3 freshman . forward , Scranton ; and Dan Branch, 6-6 junior center , Wilmington. Wilkes concluded the past season with a 13-11 record. It was only the eighth winning season in the 27-year history of the sport at the college. The Blue and Gold are coached by Rodger Bearde. Henninger, who scored 105 points against the Colonels in three games a year ago, picked up where he left off, slicing the cords for 51 markers this annum . Despite his performance, the Wilkesmen captured a pair of 100-61 and 77-72 victories over the Williamsport based team. Albright gave Wilkes a 75-65 jolt at home early in the year and it was backcourt ace Mellini who again spearheaded the Colonels demise. Mellini proved devastating in the tilt, pumping home 23 points most of which came from the outside. One of Coacrr Bearde's biggest wins was a 94-76 nod over Madison FDU. While the Jersey Devils were having an off night on the road, John Lang amazed the highly partisan home fans with a 17-goal, 35-point production. Prime mover in East Stroudsburg 's great season was floor general Kevin Morrissey . The Warrior guard was extremely painful against Wilkes, dropping in 39 points over two games which the _ E-burgers won, 70-61. If Jack Maher had started hitting earlier , it would have been a different story as Wilkes tripped the Scranton Royals, 102-84. The Scranton yearling was torrid in the second half, connecting on most of his 22 points. · Completing the sextet was Wilmington's Dan Branch, who unloaded for 26 against Wilkes and signalled an unhappy evening with a brilliant rebounding display .

In a recent editorial, the Beacon came out against the revisions as proposed by the constitution committee. We still feel that these points are valid and the reasoning that "it is not the intention of Student Government to exercise supreme control, " is highly idealistic. No one could foresee the future or estimate the amount of control one group of governing individuals would choose to exercise. We would not advocate supreme control by the Administration, but sure!y a reasonable compromise where some check BY THE STUDENT BODY may be initiated. The voter turn-out at the recent poll on the constitution is enough to indicate that the student body do~sn't really care. If some governing body came into control, it probably wouldn't make any difference to a majority of the student body as long as they weren't straddled with any work. If this is the type of turn-out we get at elections - and this is indicative of all elections on the Wilkes campus perhaps we should do away with the voice of the people entirely, and have just a ·few select members of the student body run the organizations m campus. These people would be . chosen in respect to a popularity poll conducted in the library or Commons. Of course ability would never en~er the picture.

That's how Sociologist H. Wentworth Eldredge opens his new essay on " Teaching the Future." My thought and concern is: Does it apply to Wilkes College? If it doesn 't, will the students and faculty of Wilkes College "sense the on-rushing tide" and attempt to establish a future within their own curriculums? 2. What is meant by futurism ·1 Classes in future studies range from intense seminars of five (5) or six (6) persons to semi-public mass audiences of up to 400. Practically every imaginable subject has been "futurized, " or stretched into the future . It appears that interaction between faculty and students is much more intense (Futurists tend to be highly interdisciplinary . types, addicted to group or team teaching or multi-staffed courses) than the traditional lecture-note taking pattern. 3. I personally believe this type of dynamic i_nfluence should be aggressively sought by· both Wilkes College students and faculty . What follows is a summary of the number of future courses (graduate and undergraduate ) available in North America during the 1971~72 Academic Year. Let 's add Wilkes College to this growing list. 11 Anthropology: 5 instructors , 6 courses . 2 Business Adm : 24 instructors , 30 courses. 9 Computer Science, Systems Analysis : 6 instructors , 10 courses. 16 Economics : 2 instructors , 2 courses.

From The Scrantonian The job market for college graduates, which took a slight turn for the better in 1972, gives signs of further improvement this year . The optimism is reflected in the results of two national surveys of employers' 1973 hiring plans , one conducted by the College Placement Council and the other by Frank S. Endicott , placement director emeritus at Northwestern University. The council's survey, which · frown on the trend toward pass-fail , covered 672 employers, indicates a 15 credit-no-credit, and other variaper cent increase over last year in the lions of the letter-grading system demand for bachelor's degree- (Endicott) . holders, a 22 per cent increase for - Nearly 60 per cent of the those with master's degrees, and a 20 companies say it doesn 't necessarily per cent increase fox:.

College President Defends Rating' Students 1 (continued from March 8 issue) There is a body of opinion , how significant I do not know , which takes the view that the educational world would be improved if we never made any comparisons between individuals, and if our records reflected nothing more than a kind of equality among all students. This seems to me a total delusion . I ha ve spent too many years in the classroom , and had too many students, to , allow myself to believe that their academic aptitudes are all the same. This is a quite different thing from saying that the brightest of them were the most likable, the most sensitive, the most motivated , or even the most likely to succeed. Indeed , we know from their subsequent careers that the best students do not always score the greatest successes in life . But the public knows this as well as we do , and does not make its judgments solely upon grades which a student achieves in school. Whenwe act as though all students are equal we deceive only ourselves. Moreover, we are not even acting consistently with our own practices outside the academic arena. When we need a television repairman or a plumber at the house, we do not think they are all equal. When we build a house we do not hire a builder by drawing straws. When we attend the theater or the music hall we know very well that there are differences among the performing artists . When we watch athletic teams in action it is clear that some players are better than others. When we are about to undergo surgery we readily abandon any views we may have held about all doctors being the same. Why , then, should we be so reluctant about rating students? And why should we apologize for insisting that they perform at a high level of quality? To revert to may original exam ple , we would all take a very dim view of a surgeon who botched the job but who accomplished what he had set out to do. Why should we approve a thesis , or pass a student, or level our grading s·y steins simply beca use a student accomplished what he set out to do , regardless of whether it is of a quality which would seem to us consistent with university work ?.,.We may fool ourselves, but we do not fool others by doing so. Hig_h schools which award gFaduation certificates to students who read at a low grade-school level have not succeeded in convincing the public that a high school seal of approval means the same thing for all students. What reason is there to believe that our experience will be different if we choose 'to go in that direction? Given the reservations which I ha ve expressed about pass-fail , it will come as no surprise to you that I view pass-no entry as a far more dubious proposition , and . the arguments for it far less substantial. If the events of the last few years have proved anything, surely it 'is that the campus cannot isolate itself from real life . It follows that an , academic experience in which one can nver fail is contrary to ever other life experience which the student will have. Even in the tight little academic world il may have adverse effects. However desirable a more leisurely path through the university may be, it clearly favors the more affluent students. And in an institution like ours, in which applications for admission outrun our capacity , a pass-no entry system would produce pressure for some other control device , such as the eight-semester rule which was so vigorously opposed by many students. Grading systems are complex, and many of the best colleges which have experimented with either pass-fail or pass-no entry systems report sweeping changes withing a , year thereafter . It would be wrong for us to she! ter in the security of the present experience a nd practices, but it would be equally wrong for us to rush headlong into cam pus-wide changes and experim ents without controls . If the problem is that the certification function of the university in our society has become so important that anyone who does not have a degree is imm ediately disadvantaged, then let us attack the role of certification . There is considerable evi dence that there is already an increasing public acceptance of the fact that the university is not for everyone, and that the voyage to both happiness and success is not insured by attendance at an institution of higher education. If I am right , I would hope that we would have the courage to say so, and not be deterred by a misplaced sense of egalitarianism . · The author is president of the University of Michigan. �Page 4 THE BEACON Student Government . by Randy Steele Debate inflamed over the merits of - It sounds like a modest exaggeraan on-campus ministry during last tion, but Commuter Council PresiMonday night's Student Government dent Buddy Brezinski declared that meeting. over 1000 people participated in the Two representatives from the first day of the free book handout in First Presbyterian Church of the library.

Despite-the dismal log, first year coach, Joe Shaughnessy, can hardly wait 'til the start of next year's campaign. " Our entire varsity team will return, " noted Shaughnessy, "Prior to the start of the past season we had only two experienced swimmers in the lineup." Shaughnessy was extremely pleased about the progress made by diver Bob Krienke . · Krienke was "Mr. Consistency" for the Colonels, winning 12 first-places during the dual slate. He capped off the exploits with a second-place runnerup finish in the MAC Championships at Elizabethtown College. Accumulating 329.60 points , Krienke was a few digits short of the 343.35 total produced by the champion, Paul Stobie, Franklin & Marshall. Bob's brother, Doug, set the MAC tourney record last annum with a 345.85 showing. Another jewel in the Blue and Gold camp was sophomore sprinter, Barry Rasmussei1, who picked up four firsts in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events. Barry was second to Krienke in total dual points with 70. Krienke had 96. Junior Jeff Walk was a close third with 66 points. Walk, who wrestled as a freshman, occupied the 200-yard breastroke and individual medley spots and showed steady improvement with five firsts. When the going got tough , Krienke, Rasmussen, and Walk joined with hman Gary Taroli to give the Colonels a lethal 400-yard freestyle relay, .. h .

Jack Keller and Steve Leskiw, also freshmen, are two of the prime contenders for outfield positions . Jack was a catcher last year for Wyoming Valley West High School, but Coach Domzalski believes he can utilize his quickness and his bat in the outfield . Leskiew, who was labeled one of the best scholastic shortstops in the state, will also be utulized in the outfield because his offensive power is too good to waste.

This uniqu~ method utilizes a closed sterile system whereby donor blood is .collected in sterile plastic packets and the blood and plasma are ,.sepa• rated by centrifugal action. Immediately after the separation, the red cells are returned to the donor. Everyone in good health is eligible to enter the plasma donation program and our standards are exactly the same as those for regular whole-blood donations. The difference in the two types of donations lies in the fact that whole• blood donors may only give ONCE every 2 to 3 mon!hs whift, plasma don~rs can safely give TWICE A WEEK- thereby affording you the opportumty of earning MORE MONEY in the same period of time. Your earning ability as a donor, however, depends on your continuing state of good health. To this end, BP&C Inc. performs all necessary tests on our donors to insure the donor is healthy.

But unless we built up the military academies bigger than the largest universities in the land, they would have to elsewhere, too. (No university graduates 17,000 in one class, or an · close to that, and if West Point were built up to do so, it would comp! overshadow the combined colleges and graduate schools of such giants Notre Dame, NYU, Harvard, USC, Etc.) If the Armed Forces should follow past precedents, they could train lieutenants in a vast chain of Officer Candidate Schools at r encampments, similar to the crash program of WWII. Or they could expand the National Guard. Or both. Or come up with some new sch And there is no question that Congress would approve some such plan if colleges were to force the choice upon it. The debate might be bitter, Congress could not and would not simply tell the Defense Department couldn't have the junior officers it needs. Far-seeing commentators, on and off the campuses, have pointedout it is far better to keep ROTC, if only so that in our democracy a percentage of our military officers will be basically civilian-educated. alternative, they point out, is to create something like a "military The 1968-69 National Commander of The American Legion, William Doyle (himself a brigadier general in the New Jersey National Guard), warned that "the future of a civilian flavor in our officer corpi.. endangered by the universities that are discouraging ROTC." He a that "if 20 years hence educators complain that our officer corps is remote from civilian concepts'' they may not have to ''look beyond their doors for the cause." Though the Harvard Corporation finally disregarded his advice, H President Dr. Nathan M. Pusey sounded the same warning last Feb a published letter to Harvard's Arts-and-Sciences Dean, Franklin F Said Pusey: Mindful of the lessons of history and acutely aware·of the dangers democratic society in the existence of a corps of exclusively profess' officers , the Congress established the Reserve Officers Training Corps continuing basis when it became apparent that his country was destined maintain a large military capability for the indefinite future. In (Harv Corporation's view it would be short-sighted in the extreme if acad institutions were now to' withdraw their cooperation from the R program because of repugnance to an unpopular war. I am afraid that the "militants, " whose aim is simply to use the debate destroy ROTC, have won a degree of support from uneasy faculty mem who take such a narrow view of "military training " that they see no place it in educati~n. Perhaps ROTC may have been too narrow. ~ut there ha been recent 1mprove_ments, and perhaps_ we need more.

Career opportun ities constantly opening up in the field will also provide job openings for students who might otherwise have been forced to take a straight science-related major. It is our hope that the expansion will not stop here. Wilkes has always been dedicated to the twin goals of serving the community and the individual. We can think of no more rapidly expanding field right now than the field of communications. Individuals skilled in the art of communications have the opportunity of attaining positions in industry, business, education. The list is endless, for where there exists a grouP, of people, there also exists the need to communicate their actions to the masses. The initiation of a major in English with a minor in communications would open the door to numerous possibilities and the further expansion of undergraduate course offerings. Wilkes Grad A. F.

The chart is composed of three basic parts - houses , signs and planets. The houses refer to earthly experiences common to all of us - homelife , marriage, profession , etc . The signs afford a coloring effect, or give a particular attitude toward each of these experiences. For example, Aries influencing the house of marriage would indicate a very active, headstrong, and impulsive attitude toward partnerships and marriage. If Taurus were influencing that same house, a gentle, warm, and patient attitude would exist. The primary and secondary indications of all the possible sign house combinations show part of the extent of everyone's uniqueness, in response to various earthly considerations. The third element - the planets - places various weight of certain forces in the houses, creating possibilities as different and unique as people. We are all influenced by these same basic elem~nts, yet at varying proportions and in different ways to shape our own individuality. Just "how" astrology works is a topic that may take a lifetime to study and understand . It is believed that with your first breath, you inhale the ether of the Universe into your body and vitalize the nucleus of each cell with the Divine Force. A chart can be drawn for this very important step in your Eternal Life cycle - birth - and various character indications for this life can be made. The chart represents the moment you wanted to be born. You may not consciously remember being given a choice, but this life, your parentage, environment, attitude, etc., were all of your own choosing. You have been blessed with another chance at life within a physical body in order to work out difficulties as well as enjoy the rewards of thoughts and deed of passed lives . Your actions today will cause a reaction tomorrow , there is no way around it. Any one life may be considered a "Great Day." The very slow precession of the constellations - as viewed from the North Pole -requires over 26,000 years to make a complete revolution. This time period is known as a "Great Year ." This may be divided into 12 small elements - one for each sign of the zodiac . This time period just over 2100 years - is known as a "Great Month, " or an "Age ." We are now completing the " Age of Pisces" which began about 1 A.D. It was a period of advancement through suffering and sacrifice. It marked a period when people or nations were oppressed by forces much larger than themselves and strived to overcome these circumstances· to receive the rewards of doing so. A new Age may be introduced by a master who will share His wisdon of what is to come and how to Jive happily with it. The Age of Pisces was introduced by Jesus Christ. This was a time that began both a Great Month and a Great Year so that His teachings and deeds will affect mankind not only for the 2,000 year period but for the 26,000 year epoch as well. We now approach the Age of Aquarius. This influence is being felt, though the age will not arrive for another 200 years. It marks a time of growth and progress through enlightenment and awareness; a time when common man receives his due-respect and is no longer a selfless part of the large institutions created by the Age of Pisces. The Great Month may be divided into segments of 72 years, known as a " Great Day." This represents the astrological span of one life for man . Though you go to bed and rise daily, the period from birth to physical death is one "Great Day." And it is yours to use as you choose. Knowing that your thoughts and deeds today will directly affect your circumstances tomorrow may give a new meaning to each individual's idea on how to spend his " Great Day." Astrology is a vast topic. Though it is limitless in usage, its study need not be complicated. It asks a certain devotion of time to study the findings of other astrologers. As you grow into this knowledge, more and more understanding of the Self and the Universe will ensue. One method of studying the art is through a home study course. This system permits learning astrology in your spare time . Certainly, not everyone is equipped to study astrology . One school, the Colegio Internacional de Astrologia (C.I.A.) gives a free aptitiude test to all interested individuals. Not passing the test will not make a Jack of intelligence, hardly . It merely means a lack of aptitude for learning ~strology by the method of teaching used in the course . A copy of this test may be obtained by writing to ; C.I .A.; P .O. Box 767 ; Pittston, Pa. 18640, with no obligation. If you are not personally interested in astrology, fine; the choice is yours . But you may be doing a friend a fine favor by informing him or her of this comprehensive school. Whatever path you take, stay aware of what is going on within you and around you and enjoy every bit of it you are able.

However, another program from the Osterhout, ' 'Things To Do,'' can still be heard on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m . The women of College Misericordia will keep the title of the former program at 5:30 p.m. , "Books Just For Kids." Jim Kelley has taped their first program and says we have something great to look forward to . WCLH offers news from the Mutual Broadcasting System at 5 and 6 p.m., 15 minutes at 7 p.m. , and five minutes again at 11 p.m. before sign-off. On Saturday 's rock shift, news can be heard each hour.

Hon Jay , program director of WAZL in Hazleton, was on hand with some great tips on programming. Suffering with radio's worst handicap, a sore throat, Ron proved to be a most delightful guest to the lecture series. Presently the WAZL format can be heard on WVCD at 97.9 FM , but coming approximately June 1, WVCD will have its own format of beautiful music 24 hours a day, in stereo. What's so great is that we'll be able to pick it up in Wilkes-Barre, because WVCD will be operating at a maximum power equivalent to 50,000 watts. WCLH welcomes another member ti> the FM band. WCLH extends an invitation to others interested in the communications media, Beacon , Manuscript, and Amnicola , to attend the seminars held ,each Monday evening at 7 p .m . Fractured Fairy Tale by Ray McNulty This is a tale about a jerk named Jack and his very exciting adventures with a beanstalk . Jack was preparing to attend college but wasn't sure what he wanted for his profession. It didn't take Jack too Jong to decide - Mrs. Gobbler, his widowed mother, told him he should not attend college. The widow told her son that "you don't know beans about anything." That did it - Jack decided to go to college in order to learn new methods of farming. So Jack enrolled in Fearless Farmers University . Young Jack was an ideal student ; he studied, he went to classes regularly and he was invplved in extra-curricular work. It was in th~ dungy ole lab of the university that he discovered abean which would grow to exceptional dimensions. One day Jack planted his magic beans and let them grow - right in the middle of the Fearless Farmers' football field . Needless to say, the beans grew and grew and grew until they were out of sight. Jack, being the jerk he was, quickly started to climb the towering beanstalk. At the top of the beanstalk there Jived an ugly ole witch (it used to be a giant but he was put in prison for income tax evasion) . The wicked witch was studying her Constitutional Law book so that she would know when to give her alien address . Jack spoke to the old hag and asked her, "Who might you be?" The old witch replied, "I'm Little Bo Peep." Happy with that answer, Jack proceeded to walk along the top of this beanstalk. Just then there was a loud noise and the sound of many voices. It was the school officials who were here to check on Jack . Poor Jack was given an ultimatum - either pay extra money as a dorm student or return today to the campus. Since Jack had no money (he only had beans), he decided to slowly return to the university. Jack then returned to the campus but he was told to report immediately to the dean's office. The dean told Jack that he was being put on probation for living off campus without written permission from his mother. Jack replied that he was innocent and that he had spent his time with a friendly witch. The dean said that he understood the situation completely. Jack was now permanently dismissed because of indecent morals. The moral of this story is obvious - if you plan to climb a beanstalk or associate with a witch, either don't tell your college officials or else get a written note from your mama! �Page 6 THE BEACON Michael Ellis Donates Theatric The magic number for the Wilkes College Theater Department seems to be 777 this season.

"This is not true today," asserts Harry Hoover, who has been designated as the first strength coordinator at Wilkes College. UCLA Favored To Repeat As NCAA Champion by Paul Domowitch There will be a lot of action in St. Louis, Missouri ~his week, as the four semi-finalists in the NCAA basketball tournament battle it out to see who will reign as college basketballs' best in 1973. Under a new format, the semi's will be held this coming Saturday, while the finals will be on Monday evening . Providence, Memphis State, and Indiana feel that they have the players and potential to take all the marbles but there is one stumblin block in their way, UCLA. The heavily-favored Bruins, have won their last 73 games in a row, not to mention nine out of the last ten NCAA championships, and if they prevail this week, the last seven in a row. Coach John Wooden's quintet will ' meet Big Ten champ Indiana, this Saturday at 4 p.m. EST. To get to the semi's, UCLA beat a tough University of San Francisco squad 54-39 in the Western regionals. The Dons played a very deliberate brand of ball and were trailing by a mere one point at halftime, 23-22. But led by Tommy Curtis, who came off the bench to score twelve points, and 6'11 junior Bill Walton, the Bruins outscored San Francisco 31-17 in the second half. Indiana, with high scoring center, Steve Downing, and freshman guard Quinn Buckner, outlasted the Kentucky Wildcats 72-65 in the Mid-East Regionals . In the opening round on Saturday, Providence College · will battle Memphis State at 2 p.m. EST. Providence is led by the ever-exciting Ernie D. and Marvin B., namely Ernie DiGregorio and Marvin Barnes. In the Eastern finals WSTRENGTH ROOM - The lower level of Wilkes College's New Men's Dorm has become a beehive of last weekend against Maryland, ilywith the opening of the new strength room.

Other offensive threats for MSU are Ronnie "the Big Cat" Robinson a 6'3 forward, who can jump with the best of them , and Wes Westfall , a 6'8 forward. PERSONALLY SPEAKING: Despite the fine talent of Providence, Indiana, and Memphis State, we still must face reality , and reality is UCLA . The Bruins should have no trouble in getting past Indiana in the one semi-final contest while Providence will squeak by Memphis State if Di Gregorio and Barnes can stay out of foul trouble. That will set the stage for a Providence-UCLA contest in the finals on Monday evening. These two team s have met earlier this season with UCLA prevailing by a margin of 23 points . Friar 's coach Dick Gavett has said that his team has improved tremendously since then but it matters little. UCLA will claim possession of its tenth NCAA title in the eleven years. Hoover's lair is the lower level of the New Men's Dormitory where workmen recently put the finishing touches on a new Colonel strength facility. Included in the specially built room is a universal machine with nine separate stations and two 500-pound olympic-weight sets as well as a collection of York barbells. The room is completely ventilated and contains a vast amount of storage space. "Our purpose for establishing it was really two-fold, " explained Hoover . " On one plane it is designed for the athlete who may want to sharpen certain muscular skills. Secondly, it is available to every member of the student body, faculty and administration for their personal use, which could range from the rehabilitation of an injury to body building ." "There are specific workouts for each sport," expounded Hoover, who pastimed on the gridiron for the Colonels from 1967 to 1971. Much of his attention has focused on members of the Blue and Gold grid team. "Many members of the squad are frequent visitors to the room," Hoover said. "Some of the wrestlers are expected to start their own program in the next few weeks ." One of the big pushers of the new strength program is football mentor Roland Schmidt, who played an intricate part in getting the room started, as did Athletic Director John Reese and Wilkes College President Dr. Francis J . Michelini. "Our immediate goal is to get as many people as possible involved with the facility," Hoover explained. "Some faculty members have also shown an interest in working out." At present the room is open between 4 and 6 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday but the hours will be extended in the near future . CLUB TRACK INITIATED by l{on Noyalis It's that time of year for baseball and track , and once again the possibility exists for the formation of a Wilkes Track Club. According to George Pawlush, Sports Information Director, if one man turns out this year, then there will be a Track Club. Actually, this year 's possibility will become this year 's reality. George, who will assume the mentor's role this year , claims a few of his cross-country-players will be coming out for track. George expressed his desire for an enthusiastic turnout this year. "The track club is open to anyone at Wilkes with desire," he asserts . With decent participation possible meets with Baptist Bible, Bingham ton State, and Wyoming Seminary ca n become a reality. Depending on formati on of a team Wilkes could very well be participating in the All-College Trac k Meet at Wyoming Seminary on Sunday, April 29, at 12 noon. The meet will feature the following events : Track - 100 and 220 yard dashes, the 440, 880, mi le , and two mile runs; Field - shotput, discus, hi gh jump and long jum p. This meet is open to anyone at Wilkes . The Track Club's next meeting will be held today at Weckesser Annex at 11 a.m. for all prospective track men."

This indiv idual is Peter J adefis, a veteran of the Government scene over the last three years. This one fact may be interpreted in two ways. Either that the position is so strongly hated that no one has the desire to fill it, or tha t the students' backing of Jadelis is so definite and strong that there is no need for any indecision . Judging from Jadelis' past record, it would strongly seem that his· backing is strong and definite. The student body may well realize his accomplishments and work in the student governing body. The job of Student Government President demands by its very nature a great deal of time and effort, along with the impetus to finish what sometimes amount to tedious and unpleasant tasks . It also demands a great deal of tact and knowledge of the Wilk_es campus. In all of these areas, there is no reason to doubt the ability of Jadelis to do the job and to handle it with the amo~ nt of devotion necessary for such a position_. The Beacon would like to offer its support and best wishes to Pete Jadel is in his future role as student leader. One last word on Student Government Presidents . . . As the academic year is rapidly drawing to a close and the installation of new officers is not that far away, it should be noted that this year's officers did a fantastic job, working for the best interests of the student body . Primary among their accomplishments is the welldeveloped communication among the Student Government, the Inter-Dormitory Council and the Commuter Council. This year also saw the installation of c igarette machines on campus and newspapers sold regularly on campus. Small, but often important conveniences. This year's governing body also drafted a new constitution and worked strongly with the college and the community in rebuilding a college after what has been termed ."The worst natural disaster in our nation's history." Student Government President Mike Barski was among volunteers this past summer digging the buildings out from beneath literally tons of mud and debris deposited by the raging Susquehanna River. It is our hope that with this type of record behind them, the new officers will be able to carry the torch and promote some needed social and academic changes.

Supreme Court ruled last July, in cases involving Georgia and Texas, the death penalty, as imposed in most states, was unconstitutional. The ing left the way open for legislatures to reimpose the death penalty, ding it was applied uniformly . Associated Press survey showed that the question of capital ment was an issue in almost every state. Most of the proposals ded execution as the punishment for killing a policeman or fireman, for ne hijacking and for various type9' of murder, including murder itted during the course of another crime. interpretation is that the Supreme Court is not barring the death ty if it is mandatory,'' said Sheldon Beychok, chairman of a special 'ana commission on capital punishment. "That is," he added, "the ty must be imposed on both the rich and the poor m.an." No action has taken on the commission report. rters of capital punishment cite the death penalty as a potential nt to crime and complain about the coddling of felons. me people are out to protect the blood-thirsty animals that go out and people and kill them, but not me," said South Dakota State Rep. Bernie ky, chief sponsor of a bill to make the death penalty mandatory for · crimes. The bill passed the House by a narrow margin and is pending state Senate. · , Wyoming, and Florida already have reinstated executions· the ·a general assembly has passed a measure to restore the death ty and Gov. Jimmy Carter has said he will sign it. Ohio Measure Typical Ohio measure, enacted last December as part of a revision of the 'scriminallaws, is typical. It defines capital murder-that for which a penalty may be imposed - as premeditated murder, murder by led weapons and felony murder. It states that the death penalty can ied only if one of seven "aggravating circumstances" is present, but · three·"mitigating circumstances" requiring a life sentence rather execution. aggravating conditions include assassination of certain public ls, murder for hire or gain, murder of a law officer and murder while itting kidnapping, rape, arson, robbery or burglary. The mitigating s~nces rule is applied if the victim induced or facilitated the killing, killer was under duress, coercion or strong provocation or if 'the cause of the crime was the prisoner's psychosis or mental ·ency." law - to take effect Jan. 1, 1974 - requires separate hearings to ineguiltorinnocence and to decide the sentence. It also specifies that emustimposethedeathpenaltyifoneoftheaggravatirigconditions present without any of the mitigating circumstances. · ilarsetof"agravatingconditions"isincludedinthemeasurepassed gia. The propos_al also requires an automatic review of every death by the Georgia Supreme Court to insure that the law is enforced throughout the state. State Rep. Bobby Hill, a Democrat contends er, that the bill allows a judge and jury too much di~cretion i~ 'lion of the death penalty and has predicted it will be struck down by · court. Nixon Deplores Federal Waste Of 'Needy' MO ney WASHINGTON (AP)_ President Nixon said Saturday too much federat money " has been going to those who were supposed to help the needy and too little to the needy themselves ," and America must do better than this . He said that in the 1960s the government " undertook ambitious , sometimes almost utopian commitments in one area of social policy after another " that "in case after case amounted to dismal failure ." In the fourth of a series of nationwide radio addresses on his State of the Union report, Nixon said: "Those who make a profession out of poverty got fat ; the taxpayers got stuck with the bill; and the disadvantaged themselves got little but broken promises. "We must do bett than this. The American people deserve compassion that works-not simple com passion that means well." Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansield of Montana told reporters he agrees with Nixon that many domestic programs · "have been over-administered and underapplied," with too little help going to the people Congress sought to help . But Mansfield was sharply critical of the plan to channel much of the domestic aid into special revenue sharing and he opposed dismantling of the Officer of Economic Opportunity . In his address, taped before he took off for the weekend at Camp David, his Maryland mountain retreat, the President said "to our great credit we Americans are a restless and impatient people-we are a nation of idealists. "We dream of eradicating pov~rty and hunger , discrimination, ignorance, disease and fear, and we would like to do it all today. But in order to reach these goals, we need to connect this. warm-hearted impatie~ce of our~ with anothe~ equally _American tra1t-:--and that 1s levelheaded common sense."

However, until very recently, these were unsafe to use, as elements containing a great amount of radioactivity cause radiation disease and a myriad of complications. The new focus is places especially on four short-lived radioactive isotopes: Oxygen-15, Nitrogen-13, Carbon-II and Flourine-18.

It features live--0n tape concerts recorded at music festivals around the country. Some of the festivals which can be heard on WCLH are The San Diego Folk Festival, The Ojai Music Festival from California, The 34th Annual National Folk Festival from Wolf Trap Park for the! Performing Arts, the International Piano Festival and Competition at the University of Maryland, and the American College Jazz Festival at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the District o Columbia. · Festival U.S.A. offers a wide variety of music for the listener. Traditional folk and old time country music can be heard from the San Diego Folk Festival held at the University of San Diego in California. An unusual instrument which is played by one of the artists is, believe it or not, a rubber glove . Also coming from the San Diego Festival is a blues program featuring jam sesions, a woman's workshop on "The Trials and Tribulations of a Female Folk Singer," and an outdoor children's concert. Another program contains highlights of gospel music . The Ojai Festival features music <J.long the classical line, as does the International Piano Festival and Competition at the University of Maryland. One interesting aspect of the Ojai Festival is a program of ethnic music. Kwasi Badu, master drummer of the Ashanti, will perform music from Africa on that program. Mr . Badu will present the ceremonial music of the Ashanti of Ghana, the Edik of Nigeria, and the Ewe of Ghana. Indonesian music from Bali and the m usic of the Mariachi from J alisco, Mexico will also be performed by artists of these countries on that program. The music coming from the 34th An'1 ual National Folk Festival at Wolk Trap F arm Park for the Perform ing Arts near Washing ton , D.C. includes oldtim e gospel, bluegr ass, blues, and ballads. And, of course, jazz can be heard from the American College J azz Festival.

( I ( I, An estimated 200 freshmen and some 400 members of their families got a first-hand look at what life is like for students on the Wilkes College campus when they took part in last weekend 's three-day " freshman-weekend." Under the sponsorship of the Inter-Dormitory Council and the Commuter Council, the annual Freshman Weekend was tagged by college and student sponsors as one of the best ever on the college campus. Hegistration activities were a bit hectic at times as the students and their parents arrived with suitcases to pick materials for the weekend stay. Left to right, are: Dorothy Kaufman, Camp Springs, Maryland; Susan Rinehamer, Wanamie, Pa.; Tom Uren, Wilkes.-Barre: Michele La Hose, Hazleton; Aileen Delaney, Wilkes-Barre; Nancy Farrell, Somerville, N.J.; and Mary Prymowicz, Hillsborough, N.J. Among the booths set up in the reception center of the New Men's Dormitory was one that attracted considera hie attention- the Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps site. Students were told of the advantages in applying for ROTC training and possibly qualifying for a tuition-free scholarship and $100 a month. Left to right at the Air Force table are: Cadet John Kondek, Plymouth; Alan Berger, Tom's River, N.J.; Ken Edelson, Plainfield, N.J.; Captain Richard Carpenter, member of the U.S. Air Force ROTC Detachment on the Wilkes campus; Cadet Susan Sherbin, Wilkes-Barre; and· Chris Hudak, Roselle Park, N.J. • ', ~ • • ' • ' l • t • • • • ·.': .. ·t'.'' •. .,' ·~ · . ~ - ·- - - - - Co-chairmen of the affair were Lee Auerbach and Miss Leslie Cook. Advisor to the IDC and director of housing is Donald Jost. Visiting students were given the opportunity to stay overnight in residence halls on the campus, participate in various student and faculty functions and a variety of social activities. Friday evening's activities got underway as the 11rospective freshmen and their families- arrived for registration in the New Men's Dormitory and were the,i guided to the various dorms. They were treated to a showing of "Bonnie and Clyde" at the CPA that evening. Students were able to meet with representatives of the various departments Saturday morning and discuss their major fields . Following this meeting the students · met with the deans and discussed various problems relating to dormitory life. After a lunch break Dean George Ralston, Dr. Donald Tappa, Harr~ Keller, and Colonel James Aikman gave a resume of special interest groups . Student leaders also had the opportunity to meet with the visitors. Speaking were Michael Barski, president of Student Government; James Fiorino, president of IDC; and Buddy Brezinski, president of Commuter Council. At this meeting the students gained an insight into the various extra-curricular events on campus. The prospective freshmen lost no time in getting acquainted with their hosts on the campus and were well into the swing of things by the time the "greasers" dance recalling the 1950's got underway in the gymnasium Friday evening. Throughout the weekend , informal discussions in the dormitories provided .the answers to many questions the individuals students had concerning eollege life and activities. Une advantage in this year 's program was the spring-like weather that greeted th-e visitors . Last year's program, which occurred on a weekend that sported one of the major snow storms of the year, caused a good many cancellations. Highlighting the weekend's activities was a special Ecumenical Service in the Center for the Performing Arts for the entire Wilkes College Family the perspective freshmen and their parents. The weekend involved long hours of work and planning for the students on the committee.

Forming the second-base portion of the double play combination is senior Mike Barski. After a poor start at the plate last year, Barski, a fine gloveman , came on in the waning portion to bat .189. After waiting in the wings for three years , Plymouth's Joe Yurko, who has the size and power at 6-3, 210-pounds, should be a regular at first. If he doesn 't make it, junior Paul Lavelle will fit in. Lavelle, a Plains alumnus , will also get a crack at third base. Versatile Tony Schwab will back him up. Two other infielders that have impressed Coach Domzalski are yearlings Dave Trethaway (2b) and Greg Snyder (ss).

Also, states ma ke many scholarships and loans ava ilable fo r their own students that a re not, provided for non-r esidents. Private schools are a personal luxury even with a scholarship. Much larger scholarships and grants can be obtained at the expensive schools , but when these are subtracted from the total bill of from $4 ,000 to $6,000 a year , you 'll end up paying more with the assistance than at a state university without it. Search for scholarships before you settle on a school. You can do this by visiting student aid offices of schools you're considering. Ask them what aid programs your child would be eligible for . You can save lots of interview time by first filling out one of the two standard financial statement forms .

The college attained much damage during the June flood, so the money will be put to good use. Perhaps Dr. Francis J. Micheli ni put it best when he said, "The understanding of people is the most important product of higher education but the least susceptible to evaluation." Every Wilkes student should be thankful for the generosity the community has shown towards the college. It just .goes to show that people realize the need for higher edu.c ation and these people are willing to part with some of their hard-earned money to forward it. We would be lacking if we didn't mention the 10 division leaders who played s~ch a huge role in the success. They were: Ed Boltz, Chuck Robbins, Bob Masoner, Cliff Melberger, Tom Peeler, Joe Savitz, Gene Roth, Gil Tough, Tom Shelburne and Frank Townend. Again, thanks to all involved for the prosperous and successful campaign.

Legal maintenance centers where it would be doled out would break the back of drug abuse and return thousands of addicts to useful and productive lives. The wonder drug ? Heroin ... Fifty years ago, heroin - a morphine derivative - was hailed as the answer lo the then widespread problem of morphine addiction in the same way that methadone, another narcotic drug, is acclaimed as the answer to today·s heroin addiction problem. Methadone critics say the country is doing down the same dreary path all over again. But the supporters of methadone say strict guidelines will prohibit a recurrence . Considered Cure-all When _heroi_n was first introduced at the turn of the century as a cure-all for everythmg_ from bronc_hitis to tuberc~losis, it was _believed to be _ non-add1ct1ve and there_fore ~ safe s~~st,tute for_ morphme. . Because of ,ts great pam-kdhng quaht1es, morphme had b_een w1~ely used as a general analgesic by doctors_. It al~o was freely used m hospitals and was the base ~ many commercial p~111~k1llers on the ope~ market. . But because 1t was al_so_ highly addictive , persons suffermg prolonged illnesses developed _add1ct10~s . . . . In .\906, tpe Amen can. Me~1cal Assoc1at1011 .endorsed herom for general use m place of morphme. Two years later , Congress outlawed opium smoking , a practice stemming from the post-treatment addiction of medical patients treated with morphine. By 1914, abuse of all types of drugs had become so widespread that Congress went even furth er and passed the Harrison Narcotics Act, the first piece of legislation designed to control narcotics. Banned Use ' The Harrison Act banned the non-theraputic use of all opium and cocoa derivatives, including morphine, cocaine, codeine and heroin. It set up a tax of one cent per ounce on the drugs and required manufacturers and dealers of narcotics to register with the federal government. However, the intent of the act was to be circumvented when during and after World War I, thousands of American troops r eturned from the war as morphine addicts. Mor.phine was used as a pain killer in treating wounded soldiers on the battlefield and in military hospitals. As a result, many soldiers became victims of the same problem of post-treatment morphine addiction that had plagued the domestic medical populati9n in earlier years. By the end of the war , there were an estimated 200,000 drug addicts in the United States. • Alarm over the existing domestic drug abuse problem and general concern for the plight of returning veterans led to the establishment of drug maintenance centers, similar the ones opened in recent years for returning Vietnam veterans . The : linics were designed to cure addicts by simply rC'ducing the amount of narcotics that they were administered. They were run by doctors and were considered legal under the Harrison Act, which allowed doctors to prescribe drugs for medical purposes. Hou, To .Finance A College Education le scholarships of all kinds are , loans are on the ascent. t unheard of a decade ago, are now an essential part of college financing. This is true if you procure a scholarship, it normally won 't cover all es. t of the loans are taken out by ts, not parents . While this can relief to the family bank t, loans must be approached aulion lest the young man or n begin their work career helmingly in debt. As one entator wrote in College Board w: "Imagine this personal in your local newspaper: man facing $10,000 debt at of graduate school seeks ce with comparable young with I similar obligations. : Matrimony, mortgage and r loans , no children pending duct ion. ,. you would guess , the lowest t loan is not given to -class families .. This is the al Defense Student Loan. It 's r cent interest payable over a r period but not starging until onths after graduation. The orides up to $1,000 a year for five years . One of the most redeeming qualities of this loan is that it can be partially forgiven if the child goes into any number of fields the government considers critical. If he teaches for five years after graduation, for instance, he will have to pay only half the original loan. Though this loan is based on actual need, there are many extenuating circumsta nces that may make you eligible. For example, a family bringing in $15,000 a year certainly would not qualify, but if the family has four children all at or near college age, they can prove need and eligibility. Guaranteed student loans are based on need , also , though the need nccdn ·t be as great. An adjusted income of $15,000 a year is the basis, but more affluent families can secure them. Under this program, the student is again the loan taker . Loans arc handled by local banks and the gO\·ernmenl backs them for the lull amount. Interest is 7 per cent per )·ear. with the government paying till' interest while the student is in school. After college , the full amount of the loan must be repaid over a !0-)·<'ar period. An interesting aspect of the Guaranteed Student Loans is that the young people who have been getting them haven 't been particularly interested in paying them back. Defaults exceeded $40 million a year ago and promise to be higher this year. William Simmons, Director of Insured Loans for the U.S. Office of Education is hopping mad and swears ··we're going to collect every dime." Unfortunately for Simmons, that's easier said than done. After graduation, young people set off in a thousand different directions and trackirtg them down is too time-consuming and too expensive, considering that the average loan has been only a little over $1,000. The least desirable loan is the Student Loan set up at many banks. Thi s is a s traight loan to th e parents from the bank . There aren't any breaks here. The family pays around 12 per cent interest on a 12- to 72-month term. Like venereal disease. these loans are easy to get and hard to get over. Before resorting to the bank's Student Loan . explore lower-i nterest loans on your securities or other collateral. Also. don't forget your insurance policy with its cash value still intact. •with a loan · and a small scholarship. you probably still won't have enough to cover the who le shot. !\Jost students have to roll up their sleeves and take on part-time wo1:k. On -campus jobs are obtainable through the school placement office. Wages are in the slaV'C labor category of from $1.:!0 to $1.50 an hour'. Belter your child should look for work off-campus. What he needs is a sinecure. a job with pay but little or no responsibility. Ideal positions where he can slip some study in on th e job are 1potcl clerk, night ,rntchman. librarian , janitor and night switchboard operator . /\not her means of handling the cost of college is to complete it in three )·ears. Lopping off a full year can reduce the total costs by anywhere from 111 to 2:i per cent. The student can take this course himself at any number of sc hools with systems of three semesters or four quarters a vea.r . Some schools have formal ihree-year programs already established. They are Northwestern university in Illinois, George Washington University in Missouri, and Beloit in Wisconsin. l{ushed curriculum, long-term debts and extra work for everyone in the family arc the ingredients for a coll ege degree for middle 1\nwricans. And there is no relief in sight. If th e Federal Government cornt·s through with its planned increases for education , most-of the money will go to the devastated elt'rnentary and secondary school S\sll'ms. then to college administrations and poor studen ts . Whatever is lt'fl after that may bring some relief for m iddle -incomc parents - but don 't count on it.

It was the season dia mond debut for the Blue and Gold charges of Gene Domzalski, who began their quest for a second straight Middle Atlantic Conerence title. Senior Jeff Giberson pitched and swatted the locals to a 7-2 decision in the -first tilt as he scattered seven hits. The 6-0, 170-pounder from Mt. Holly, N.J. connected with a 330-foot homerun in the first frame to send the Colonels out to a 2-0 lead. It was Giberson's tenth career victory against only one loss. Camoni did honors in the nitecap, slopping the Flying Dutchmen, 15-0, The scheduled seven inning fray was halted by the rains after five innings of play. Camoni , 3-1 with an 0.94 earned run average last spring, struck out four batters in his shortened gem. After waiting in the wings for two years, former Plains High School standout Lavell e cracked the starting lineup and went three-forthree in the first game. Lavelle cracked home a single run in the fifth and a pair in the seventh for three-RBI day. Freshman outfielder Steve Leskiw a Coughlin alumnus, also made his collegiate debut a memorable one , collecting two hits. Both of Lebanon Valley's runs came via the round-tripper route as Larry Melsky and Scott Sener produced solo shots against Giberson. Colonels mentor Domzalski unveiled five freshmen in the afternoon barrage in the persons of Leskiw, Dave Trethaway , Tony Schwab, Jack Keller and Dave Paolinelli.

Dave, a junior accounting major from Little League town USA Williamsport Pennsylvania , was voted number one of the Colonels' top six tennis players by Coach Tom Rokita. ·Dave has been playing a dozen years now and he hardly shows signs of letting up. Concern ing the '73 Colonels' squad Dave had this to say: " This year we have three top players returning in the likes of Bob Dombrowski , Rich l\kGuire, and John Durbin ." l\1odcstly , he failed to include himself - the number one guy. Dave went on to talk of the team's main weakness: · ·out of this year's 15 man team, only the four returnees have experienced actual competition. " However , he reels with the team 's strengths of good personnel balance and much natural ability they can very well go places. When asked about the Colonels ' home court condition, Dave complained of only three satisfactory courts. Since the flood, the others have not been returned to top condition, and this does impede the team's effort. This season's schedule proves to be a tough one according to Dave. "The season opener is with Scranton University at Scranton this Saturday, and they have always been our big rival," claims Dave. He picked out Ursinus, Moravian, and especially Muhlenburg as the other tough competitors this year. Not wanting to be put out on the limb as far as predictions go, Dave would only assert that his team will go well beyond the .500 mark this spring if it isn't unduly plagued by injurie~ and bad weather. Coming from a great one like him , the prediction will most likely come to pass.

The question is that of representation of the student body by the Student Government. We have a representative body on campus, composed of elected officials yvho are expected in turn to reflect the views . of the student body as a whole. Unfortunately, in most instances, such is not the case. A majority of the student body stumbles through classes and various activities totally unaware of key issues which are before Student Government. Part of t he responsibility of these student representatives should be to poll the studen t body for its opinion before ~ny major action is taken. Gra nted, th is would be a mamouth job for every issue t hat appears before the governing body. However, this shou ld be possible, at least where the major even ts are concerned events that wil I affect the future of the Wilkes College cam pus. Constructive criticism is often the mother of initiation. It is our hope that the newly elected governing body will take this into consideration when it comes time for it to take major action.

Upon further investigation , I discovered that the Wilkes College cafeteria had chosen to observe the week-long meat boycott by cutting back on the number of meat dishes prepared. Perhaps this boycott by the cafeteria will have some effect, al though I am not sure that our .institution utilizes the animal meats tha t are the target of the boycott. I also discovered tha t the authori ty for this action , from the standpoint of the student, came by means of a student government vote to support the boycott . This vote in itself is beyond reproach , as it was initiated by a representa tive gro_up elected by the s tudent body. My question is , " Why wer en 't the students of Wilkes College informed of the possibilities of suppor ti ng the boycott "befo re " the student council voted on it?" Perha_ps a referendum would have been in order so that the student government had some notion of where the general consensus lay concerning this issue .

The original field of nine candidates had shrunk to six- Representative Edward Koch bit the dustlast week-and was likely to drop eventually to the four B's: City Controller Abraha;n D. Beame, Representatives Herman Badillo and Mario Biaggi and Assemblyman Albert H. Blumenthal. Mr . Wagner indicated he did not relish entry into the Democratic "dogfight." That left only twc options open for him - the Liberal party support which was his for th€ asking but which might also involve a primary fight, or no candidacy. Should he decide to run, hi~ chances - most observers feel would be good. According to these opinions, the possible scenarios fro M. Wagner could run this way: First scenario: Mr. Biaggi, whc already has the Conservative party's endorsement, wins the Democratic nomination. That leaves Mr. Wagner as the only liberal against two conservatives, MR. Marchi and Mr . Biaggi, who would split the moderate and conservative vote. That's the formula that gave an unpopular Mayor Lindsay victory fo ur years ago . Second scenario: Mr. Beame, who also has a moderate and even conservative image, 1 wins the Democratic nod. He splits the moderate and conservative vote with Mr. Marchi and Mr. Biaggi. Again Mr . Wagner wins. Third scenario: Mr. BadiJ!o, the most liberal of all the contenders, wins the Democratic primary. Mr. Wagner becomes the candidate of the middle against MR. Marchi and Mr . Biaggi on the right and Mr . Badillo on the left. Fourth scenario: Mr. Blumenthal wins the Democratic primary. That . poses a more difficult' problem. Mr. Blumentha , 44 years old to Mr. Wagner's 63, is very much like the former mayor, a liberal who comes across · as nondoctrinaire and sometimes moderate. These are some of the recipes politicians are brewing. What's missing so far is a crucial ingredient: Mr. Wagner's formal announcement of his candidacy . -Frank Lynn �THE BEACON Page 4 Dinner-Dance Held WCLH 90.7 FM Hundreds of Wilkes College students-freshmen, sophomores and the muscular lettermen-marked the last weekend before the start of the spring vacation on Friday and Saturday nights as they held separate dances in central city hotel ballrooms.

We can all get quite aggrevated at one ti me or another as we rapidly peruse the stacks of required readings . And why is it that required readings are so interesting? I'm sure my life would be zilch if I never read " Gorbuduc ," " Ralph Roisterdoister ," and " Gamm er Gurton 's Needle ." Below is a list of books that I would like to read this semester , except they haven 't been written yet. Diary of a Madman , by Richard M. Nixon I Was A Teen-Age Monster , by Frank N.

Galbraith's position as an economics professor at Harvard University is only a part of a career which has also seen the duties of diplomat, novelist, essayist, critic, historion, administrator and advisor to such men as Adlai Stevenson, John F. Kennedy. and Eugen McCarthy. Galbraith's works include "AMERICAN CAPITALISM, THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY," AND "THE NEW INDUSTRIAL STATE." He has challenged tradional economic ideas and provided some unique observations of society . According to one press article, Galbraith displays a unique intellectual wit which is "applied lightly in some cases" and carries "the sting of poison" in others.

Former Student Government President Mike Barski, introduced a motion to regulate the sale of tickets at "all college parties. " Discussion of this topic included prices and use of !D's. STICKMEN (From Page 7) Chicago has everything - fine hitting, excellent pitching and one of the best coaching staffs in the big leagues . If they can utilize all this potential to its utmost, they are · a good bet to overthrow Oakland as kingpin of the west. Dick Allen , the highest-paid player in the history of baseball, and Bill Melton lead the offensive barrage for the Sox , and knuckleballer Wilbur Wood heads an excellent pitching . staff which includes Stan Bahnsen and Steve Stove . Oakland will be back with most of last year's world series gang , but they just don't seem to have the motivation that last year 's team possessed. Reggie Jackson is hobbled by injuries , but it probably won 't affect his hitting that much . Gene Tenace has moved over to first base to make room for former Cleveland catcher, Ray Fosse. The Kansas City Royals have come a long way since their "inception and could challenge this season. They are led by scrappy, little Fred Patek, Lou Piniella and slugger John Mayberry . The only ingredient missing is a better pitching staff. Minnesota and California could make early bids for the lead, but they lack the consistency to be contenders in October. Texas ... well, Texas won't have that much trouble. They 're a sure bet to win the cellar flag. IX TOIF.S OF CRISIS CALL 829-2481 PROJECT OUTREACH People ; ust like you~ . hut frninrd to hrlp.
