A vote of 11-IU on a proposed grant by Student Government granted 77 per cent of funds needed for the publication
of the Beacon. This_fa~t c lea rly indicates that SG is not a totally controlled body and that legislation may not be on a

THE BEACON

Editorially Speaking
Students---A live, Dead or Confused
It has been policy for the Beacon t his p-9st year to refrain from commenti ng on student opinion concerning the
paper. However, recen t statements wh ich seem to contradict
one another call the matter to attention .
,
At the recent student life meeting, it was brought up
that the student body feels that the pape r is doing an inadequate job of reporting and that the Bacon was started in
protest to the number of errors in the Beacon .
If this is the case, how does the Bacon staff account fo r
as FEW as 35 errors on one page of its paper and coming out
with a story by Pete Jadel is commenti.ng on a lack of action
concerning cigarette machines on campus - the very day
they were installed .
Surely, someone had to have advance knowledge of the
machines' arriva l. The companies don't just decide to install
these machines at random.

ESTELLE P ARKER

Estelle Parker , a freshman
Theater Arts-English major from
Pocono Manor , plays Sorel Bliss in
the Cue 'n' Curtain production of
" Hay Fever ." She is a resident of

being her Wilkes debut, although she
has worked make-up in other
productions this year .
Her other activities this year have
included Student Government and
the March of Dimes. She considers
painting as her favorite hobby .
Estelle sees Sorel as witty,
intelligent and sarcastic, in some
ways similar to herself. In this way,
Estelle has found the character easy
to work with.

many. particularly because the colleg~ degree had always been thought to
almost guarantee employment. "The students entering college now -the 17and 18-year-olds-watched how the two-year graduate moves into a $700- or
$800-a-month job easily and how the four-year graduate has trouble," he
says. "They question the value of higher education, probably more than~any
group of young people in 30 or 40 years."

observes . ..There are Nobel laureates and four µresidents of the

The battle looks endless . Jensen's

experimental psychology at Princeton. who questions the evidence on
which Jensen bases his arguments.

VETERAN'S PROBLEM
Harris, whose field is community~ollege development, adds that mar.y
young people now possess a greater interest in technical skills and in
learni ng to do things with their hands . "Then you get the v~teran returning
home, say 25 years old , who wants to get some training and education , but he
also wants to get a job as soon as possible." Two-year community colleges
are offering certificates of achievement and associate degrees in fields
ll'here the training and education had normally come on the job in the past.
Cha ncellor Brossman, who has watched the California community
colleges grow to a total enrollment of 900,000, or nearly 65 per cent of all of
the sta te 's lower-division college students, says the junior colleges make up
he only segment of education that is still growing. "We expect to have one
million students by 1975," he says. " There are several reasons . The lower
cost and the accessibility of the campuses, which are spread into what had
been isolated r ural (and even urban ) areas. " He adds that the opportunity
for a student to get his education while learning an occupation~is a great
attract ion . "We have students ranging from 17 to 80 years of age: the
average is about 25 . There's such a wide variety of programs, from
retrai ning to adult continuing education. There are about 3,200 occupational
skills offered in our community colleges."
Gi l Saunders, a professor of business administration at the College of the
Redwoods in Eureka , Calif. says the greatest enrollment growth is among
part-time students, many of whom attend in the evenings and on week ends .
"The four-year colleges ," he smiles, "get students in fields that are fun to
study . Then the kids graduate and wonder what they do next. We try to •
prepare our students for the market. And you will find that community •
colleges react to the needs of communities they serve. There is a good,
constant feedback. "

Wilkes Topps Albright; Leskiw Exels
Camoni Gains 2nd Win
Colonels Stand At 5-3
By Paul Domowitch
The Wilkes College dia mondmen snapped a three-game losing streak last
Thursday upending Al bright College 3-2, to keep their MAC title hopes alive.
By virtue of the victory, the Colonels upped their season ma rk to 5-3 . The
Blue and Gold , 5-2 in MAC competition , will entertain rival Scranton
University this evening at Schautz Stadium in Dunmore.
The hero for Coach Gene Domzalski 's charges was freshman right fielder
Steve Leskiw , who collected two hits and score-ct the winning run in the
eighth inning .
&lt;Jene Camoni picked up the victory in relief of starter Paul Hughes , who
ran into some trouble in the seventh inning . Camoni is now 2-0.
After trailing 2-1, the Blue and Gold came through with a run in the seventh
and eighth to ice the contest.
Wilkes registered their initial run in the fourth inning, when freshman
Greg Snyder scored on Tony Schwab 's sacrifice fly .
With one down in the seventh, pinch hitter Rick Masi drew a walk from
Albright hurler Ri ck Butler. Butler then fanned Frank Galicki. Camoni
came through next with a line-drive single to left. Marty Pobutkiewicz drew
another walk and the bags were jammed.
Jack Keller then knotted the score at 2-2 when he drew a walk from Butler.
It was the fourth free ticket of the game for the former Wyoming Valley West TENNIS TEAM: left to right, sitting, Geoff Rhodes, Rich McGuire, Gary Paich, Bob Dombroski, and Dave
Meckbach; standing Bob Yanku, John Kurbin , Brad Gorman, Keith Krombel, and Coach Tom Rokita . Squad is

OUTLET~:~;

Idle since April 18, the Wilkes
College lacrosse Colonels showed no
ill effects ~rom the layoff Saturday
a fternoon, blasting the Mules of
Muhlenberg. College,
11-6, at
Allentown.
The triumph raised the locals
season stick record to 4-0-1. The
raquetmen of Chuck Mattei are still
in the running for a MAC title.
Colonels had little problem
conta ining the Mules yesterday,
spurting out to a 10-2 third quarter
lead and then coasting for the win.
Coach Mattei emptied his bench in
the final stanza.
Seven different Wilkesmen figured
in the scoring parade. Sophomore
attack Vince Krill set a new school
record by registering one goal and
seven assists.
The Lincoln Park , N.J . native now
has Hi points on the year (five goals ,
11 assists l. In lacrosse a goal and
assist account for one point in
individual scoring .
Sophomore Gary Geischen also
figured in the harvest, producing a
three-goal hat trick, while junior
Steve Coleman and John Malatras
had two goals apiece . Junior Jim
Rodda and sophomore Jay Rubin
registered single scores.
Sophomore Don Mock was tough in
the nets, coming up with 13 saves.
He had a 14.6 average in five games
this spring .
Also drawing praise from the
Colonel coaching staff were defenders Craig Deacon , Rich Lorenzen ,
Jim Yanora , John Holland , and Jeff
Grandinetti.
On Saturday, April 21, the
Colonels' Lacrosse team battled
Haverford eleven who didn't arrive
until 5 p.m ., which meant less than
two hours of daylight remaining. Our
Colonels dominated the first half
with a 4-1 edge over Haverford .
The second half saw Haverford
gain momentum with three goals,
and with the clock ~howing two
minutes . and counting Haverford
struck with a goal at 1: 50 left in the
match . This made it 6-5, still the
Colonels' favor until only 20 seconds
rema ined. Then Haverford did it
again to make it six all.
.Struggling in what amounted to
four overtime periods ending in
complete darkness, the ref finally
called the match in a tie, which is as
rare in lacrosse as a no-hitter is in
baseball.
For the Colonels Clyde Fitch had
two goals, and John Malatras, Kurt
Franke, Mark Skvarla, and Craig
Deacon each scored once. Steve
Coleman had two assists and Gary
Gieschen had one . Don Mock notched
14 saves for the Colonels.

t he Presidency - to c heck really on what is going on in the
adm inistration . And more th ings ca me t o my atte ntion t hat
cause me concern or give me inform ation. So I t hi nk that . ..
t here is a terrific disadvantage not to have th e abrasive q uality of t he press ap plied to you daily, to an adm inistrat ion,
even t hough we never Iike it, and even though we wish they
did n't write it and even though we disapprove, there isn' t
an y dou bt that we coul d not do t he job at all in a free society
without a very, very, very act ive press."
The words were those of the late John F. Kennedy, 35th
President of the United States. Today the press, be in national , international , campus o r orga n ization, is facing a dil emma
where powers that "be" in the admin istration are seeking t o
deter the rights given to newsmen and citizens al ike by t he
First Amendment t o t he Const:itution.
Since America has first been conceived as a nat io n, o ur
fo und ing fat hers have realized that· one of t he most important rights was freedom of the press. For without this freedom, no one coul d be checked and no one would be able to
real ize just what is going on around them.
The campus press often faces a uniqu e d ilemma as it is
hi t from all sides - adm inistration, faculty , students, and the
Student Government. On the Wilkes College campus there
has been a running yearly animosity between the Student
Government and the campus newspaper. It has been suggested that it should become a policy for the Beacon to play a little " politics" and try to get along with the Student Government.
With all due fa irness to the current Student Government
which has made an unprecedented effort to understand the
role of the campus newspaper, we sincerely feel that it is not
the rote of a campus paper to appease any governing body on
campus.
We make mistakes just as any other organization on
campus makes mistakes and where the mistakes start to
affect the student body we intend to report them as such.
If the press is supposed to be the watchdog of society
and government and presumably faces the same responsibility on the campus - then those within earshot of occasional barking should not be offended.

States Views
To the Editor:
Since the Beacon has asked for
comments from the students I have
decided to comment. First of all I
strongly regret that I was una ble to
run Project Reach-Out last fall
semester but I felt that I could not
hold two jobs at once and since I had
been elected to Commuter Council I
should devote the most time to .it. Yet
Reach-Out suffered for not having
strong , effective leadership and in
my opi nion Reach-Out is the best
organization on campus , serving two
purposes - to help the students and
to help the community through
volunteer wor k.
The other comment I would like to
make is that I am extremely proud of
the Human Services Committee for
they have thoroughly destroyed the
old myth that freshmen should be
seen and not heard. For they have
been seen and they have been heard
and Wilkes is a better place for it.
This campus is proba bly1one .of the
few that has a first aid team on it and
all the students can thank the Human
Services
Committee for this .
Finally , I would like to say that it has
been a long four years and the senior
class has loved and has reached out
and as we go we take a par t of the
Wilkes fa mily with us .
Rich Mendelsohn

Manuscript Reply
To the editor :
An article you ran in your last issue
concerning the Student Government
budget allotments was incorrect in
stating that the Manuscript Society
will survive on the budget granted us.
I will not say that the allotment was
unfair, but it will be impossible for us
to maintain activities similar to this
year's without additional funding.
Also, I feel I must congratulate you
for your calm and unbiased account
of the budget meeting. In the face of
the irresponsible behavior of the
Student Government, I don't know
how you can control yourself. I know
I can't .

He told the Kiwanians-that college

have been categor ized ."
The im pression of most people

involved in the "things" of today , he

get married due to the attitudes of

Fie~ro said,. the students are ~ot '

A quick view of the offerings of the anc ient Greek civili za tion to the world.

Man's efforts in history are without end. Even after we die, there will be
others who will continue to fight for the development of the civilization.
Everybody strikes for something better in life. Everything that is
glamorous and bright is mentioned in history. If something is really useful to
humanity , it doesn 't get lost, bu_t gets spread all over the world.
The effort of the human race since the beginning of the world is great.
When Christ was born, he brought to the whole of mankind his message :
love.
The great civilizations in the Eastern world created big and beautiful
things. With their wonderful minds , they increased enormously the level of
life . They tried to make life better with their remarkable achievements
(civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt) . In these high empires man, or the
individual , was lost in this endless mass . Therefore, it was not possible to
pay attention to man's inner world, to his inner problems, his worries or
anxieties. Millions and millions of people came like this on earth. They gave
whatever they had, and they fought for their ki ng under any circumstances .
What was the result of all that? They died with unfinished obligations,
until their last moment. Nobody thought that these people could have had
rights as well . They lived in that slow state machine of the East and they died
there, unimportant and without any kind of recognition.
First the Greeks changed completely the fa te of man as an individual. The
\
whole world owes to the Greek ci vilization the projection of man as
something valuable in life. He took such a high place on earth that even the

Bloom And .Urs,nus
Snag _Close Decisions
The Wilkes College diamondmen saw their MAC title hopes fall by the
wayside last week, but they battled back to beat archrival Scranton and
Philadelphia Textile.
The Colonels lost two one-run ball games to Ursinus and Bloomsburg Stale
College by scores of 9-8and 5·4, but upped the season win record by trouncing
Scranton and Textile, 5·3 and 10·7 r.espectively. They're now 7.5 overall, and
7·3 in MAC competition.
Gene Camoni , the fine righthander for Coach Domzalski 's charges,
fanned 14 men in his victory over Scranton . It upped&lt;his season mark to 3-0.
In the Textile contest, Tony Schwab picked up the win in relief of starter
Lou Maczuga. Jeff Gi berson had his most productive day with the bat for the
Colonels, touting two round-trippers and knocking in six runs.
Billy Hoover, another freshman for the Colonels , hit a homer in the
seventh inning to put the game out of reach for the Rams.
Leveling 4-0 in the Ursinus contest , Blue and Gold pitching was tagged for
seven runs in the fifth inning , w hich spelled their downfall. Schwab
contributed three hits to the Wilkes offensive barrage , but it was in vain.
Centerfielder Jack Keller had two hits for the Colonels.
The next day, they met with the same fate against Bloom , losing a one-run
decision , 5-4. Again Tony Schwab had three hits , to lead the team.

er a poor start, Coach Rollie Schmidt's golf team pqt on a late surge to bolster their season's record to

Gumari of Valley West, and Mark J;u-olen of Nanticoke.

ello, sports fan s, welcome once again to Coward's Corner.
is week I am deviating from the standard procedure in this article, and
ead of reporting on the latest action in intramural sports, I have an
orial commentary about the intramural program here at Wilkes .
feel that this past year the intramural program has not been given the
ntion it has received in the past, or the attention that it rightfully
rves to receive . As stated in the Wilkes College Bulletin - every man
a chance to participate in Intramural basketball, touch football,
eyball, softball and bowling. First of all, there was no Intramural

sons for these occurrences, such as problems caused by the flood , could
sed, but are these the real reasons, or is it that no one with the authority
e responsibility to act did anything about it. These aren 't the only things
!should be brought out concerning our Intramural program. There are a
other occurrences which can't be easily dismissed .
he Intramural basketball program lacked the enthusiasm this year that
di n the past. Although the competition in the league was of good quality,
attitude of the participants was one of definite criticism . A complaint
ally heard after the program ended was : " What happened to the All Star

yers could gain recognition .
e Intramural volleyball program never officially ended. It seemed as

playoff schedule received no attention at all, which shows that the
ue was poorly supervised.
tramural softball is slowly falling apart with the end of the year drawing
er and closer. As of this past week, the majority of the teams have played
er once or not at all . Like volleyball, it's a cinch that the softball season
end before it is scheduled to .
's a definite fact that the Intramural program is on a downward trend,
as of now, it doesn't look as though there are going to be any
rovements. After all, the Intramural program makes up almost
-thirds of the athletic-minded students at Wilkes , and the attitude of
e students is very disheartening . One reason for this might be that the
pie involved in planning and organizing the competition don't take their
too seriously .

Hello , campus sports buffs. Yes, it's your old friend Coward bringing
you sports from the lighter side. I mean from the womP.n's side.
The Hot Ross team of last year cooled down enough to win this year 's
volleyball championship from that nice group from Weis, by scores of 15· 10
and 15·8. Leading the Ross contingent were Polly Seleski and Gale Rosko ,
while perennial all-star JoAnn Bartle shined for Weis .
The remaining teams in the top eight were:
2. Weis
3. 76 W. South
4. Cheaspeake
5. Barre Bombers
6. McClintock
7. Delaware
8. Carpet-Baggers
And now the moment that all of you girls have been waiting for, and that's
the announcement of the 1973 Wilkes College Intramural Volleyball League
All-Star Team . These girls were singled out for honors by Mrs. Meyers and
the League officials (I won't mention names of who they are, right Val l. The
bases for selection were: individual volleyball skill, teamwork and

cigarette machines were brought on campus . .
Finally, June 1972 brought one of the wor;&gt;t_natu_ral disasters
to the Wyoming Valley and left $10-million in damages.
Seniors who had really become a part of this institution
contributed their time and effort to restoring the college .

But it was also just a beginning and a hopeful note for the

life in the outside world.
Remember: "Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your

These same studies estimate that close to a million new jobs have been
created in the United States directly as a result of American investments
outside the U.S. during the past 10 years.
Another benefit from foreign investments by U.S. firms is to keep
American products competitive in world markets. They also (believe it or

Galicki, Pufko Named Athletes Of The Year
Will Receive Trophies
At CPA Luncheon Today

Sports Prism
by Steve Jones
" Old editors never die , they just fade away. " And fading strongly for the
better part of the last 2½ years, and about to vanish, is this old editor .
This is it; .the day I get my release from Prism. ·
Charles Dickens must have been a sports editor once; otherwise, he never
would have written, "It was the worst of times; it was the best of times ."
The worst of times came in droves; overextended absolute deadlines,
typist unavailability at do-or-die junctures, heatless wintry afternoons at
the Beacon office, the mysterious Steve Adamchak photo popping up in a
Spotlighting Pat Ratchford article, heartbreaks and tragedy on the athletic
fields, misspelling of names (right, Gary Gieschen? Giechen? Geeshun?),
uninterviewable interviewees, general misinformation, and Marietta's
coffee and Mr. Moran's humor.
But the best of times also came in droves; contacts with super coaches,
athletes, managers, and staff members, innumerable MAC championship
teams, the Beacon somehow unbelievably in its Thursday morning finished
product form, and the " hearty gratitude" expressed by folks like Greg
O'Brien for a Spotlighting he considered well . . . well, at least,.considered.
Through it all, C01'}plaints have been sparse. "Sports are OK, no matter
how abominably handled," seemed to be the readers' theme . But one group
of guys weren't about to take a chance. In "Coward's Corner" they
employed the pseudonym Coward Hosell just in case reader reactions got
too violent. But cowards they weren't, as they repeatedly - much to Joe
Skvarla's chagrin - "told it like it was. " Their names now revealed: Mark
Anderson and John Maziola (second semester) and John Pisano (first
semester) .
•
And how can I forget the rest of my staff who have been as loyal as the
night is dark? (Although sometimes it seemed like the land of the midnight
sun around here. )
F-irst the Chesapeake paragons of punctuality; Laraine Mancuso and
Dorma Doncses. In hockey Laraine was good as goalie, but her writing was
" good as goldie, " while Donna could really "wing it" in both . Then there was
Irish Ray McNulty whom I've always wanted to get into the Prism, because
a colorful Ray in the Prism will always break things up. There was Ron
Noyalis , an ex-serviceman whose services were anything but brand X and
1
Rich Colandrea, rich in sports knowledge .
But now I discharge my duties to Paul Domowitch who, though a Yankees'
and a Celtics ' fan, in my opinion , promises to overcome such deficiencies to
develop into an excellent editor.
Paul , by the-way, just happens to be an English major . I've served my
ter ms (and they 've been rejected by many), now Paul will do his thing.
Looks like no relief for "big word" loathers .
This being my final Sports Prism "glass pack" boomer, I'd like to make
amends for all of the horrible injustices I may have wreaked, and wish next
year's staff, headed by "Diamond" Jim Torbik, best of luck, leaving them
with a motto by which I've tried to gear my life, "Good, better, best, never
let it rest; until your good is better and your better is the best."
And now, time to vanish . . .
Poof!

STICKMEN DEFEAT
KUTZTOWN STATE
Wilkes College lacrosse Colonels overcame a 4-1 first period deficit to
bomb Kutztown State, 14-4, at the Bears field.
The triumph made some atonement for an earlier 8-7 loss to the Kutztown
squad at Ralston Field.
Chief architect of the Wilkes victory was sophomore attack Vince Krill,
who set a new Colonels season
scoring record with a brilliant
five-goal, two-assist performance.
Krill, a native of Lincoln Park
N.J ., increased his personal cam:
paign stats to 30 points 04 goals, 16
assists ) surpassing Bill Winters total
of 27 last year.
Colonels , now 5-2-1, still have two
games remaining with Bucknell on
Tuesday and the Harrisburg
Lacrosse Club on Saturday. Both
contests will be decided at Ralston
Field.
While Krill stole most of the
offensive show, six other Blue_and
Gold players also broke into the
scoring column.
Sophomore Gary Geischen registered a three-goal hat trick and also
tallied an assist. Others included
Dick Mandigo, two goals and an
assist ; Craig Deacon , one goal and
one assist ; and Jay Rubin, Jim
Rodda , and John Rice, single goals
apiece.
Goalie Don Mock had an
outstanding · afternoon, coming on
with 18 saves in the crease. Al Regner
had four in a relief role.

Frank Galicki

Frank Galicki and Stephanie Pufko-Umbach , recipients of myria
honors and awards during their star-studded athletic careers, can
another one to their collection after recently being named Wilkes Coll
male and female athletes of the year by the Beacon SljlOrts staff.
Other noteworthy Colonel collegians receiving votes were gra
greats Bobby Roberts and Mike Lee , and baseball and grid standout
Giberson ; and for the girls , Loraine Mancuso, Donna Doncses, Val ·
and Ann Tracey .
Frank, a linebacker on the football team and a catcher for Coach
Domzalski 's diamondmen has been a starter on both squads since
sophomore year .
The senior history major began his athletic·career at Nanticoke Area
School. He earned eight letters during his four-year tenure at Nanli
a~hieving All-Scholastic status in baseball and football his junior and
years .
After matriculating to Wilkes , Frank showed Colonel grid fans the a
ability that earned him tryouts with the Philadelphia Eagles and
Washington Redskins of the National Football League.
During his senior year, Frank earned All-ECAC (Eastern Coll
Ahletic Conference ) honors , as well as being selected to the All-State
joing some other capable performers including Bruce Bannon and
Hufnagel of Penn State University.
Despite this recognition , Frank was overlooked when it came to sel
the MAC All-Star squad this year, which really has to make sane
wonder.
Frank is currently student teaching at Lake Lehman High School
after graduation , plans on entering the teaching profession and
coaching. He will stay active on the gridiron playing semi-pro ball wi
Hartford Knights.
Wilkes College will be sorry to see big Frank leave in June. But they
as does this scirbe that he has the potential to make it big in the pros.
LUCK FRANK! !

I was just sitting here after writing the last womens sports article·

as an athlete at Wilkes.
In those four years I have seen the football team that had the 1

"co~e into_ its own." Thi_s is nothing new to most people on this campus
that 1s how 1t should be, but that is not my main concern in the writing of
article.
In those same four years I have also seen alot of changes in the a
program for women, changes that most people on this campus know
little about.
When I first started playing sports as a freshmen I found that it was
impossible to get any kind of coverage on the sports page of the Beacon
if you wrote it YO\lrself. We had a nine-game schedule in basket~
basketball and hockey teams shared the same uniforms that were

Letterwomen Club , no woman student sat on the athletic committee
there was no spring sport for women .
.
Now at the end of my senior year , I can say that the women's a
program has come a long way since my freshman year. As to coverage in
Beacon, well , this article shows how that has changed. Not only do we
coverage in the Beacon , but sp"1-ts information even gets us into the
papers . The basketball schedule has grown to 13 games, the hockey
basketball teams each have their own new uniforms, the Letterwomen
is well known, and for the pa st two years a woman athlete has sat on
Athletic Committee.
All of the acheviements for the womens program are a step forward
the two biggest steps came when the women entered the Susquehanna
Hockey Association and the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate A
for Women . With the entrance of Wilkes into these programs a woman
has the opportunity to become an All-American and a Wilkes team could
becom e a regional or na tional champion . So fa r Wilkes has placed
players on the Honorable Mention list fo r the SFHA.
·
Along with all these changes there has been a noticeable change in
attitude of the students toward women who participate in sports. Nol

COLONELETTES
TRIUMPHANT

LOCKERROOM CHATTER
by Paul Domowitch
The New York Knicks surprised this scribe last Thursday, when they.beat
the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA championship finals.
After finishing second to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern division, they
knocked off Baltimore, the Celts and L.A. in succession.
It's a good thing they won in Los Angeles Thursday because without Dave
DeBusschere, who severely injured his ankle with eight minutes to go in the
game, they would have been very vulnerable in the remainder of the series.
Coach Red Holtzman has a tremendous rebuilding job ahead of him as
both DeBusschre and Bill Bradley are scheduled to retire . Dollar Bill will
head into politics while DeBussc)lere will take an executive position,
hopefully in professional basketball.
I was a little disappointed as I'm sure a lot of people were when Channel-16
cut short the post-game festivities after the Knick's victory. It's always
exciting to see champions bask in the glory they so richly deserve. Instead,
we were treated to an "enlightening" editorial by Channel-16 news director
Bob Carroll au in the morning .

A big factor of this year's success
in lacrosse has been sophpmore
attackman Vin Krill .
The political science major, who
hails from Lincoln Park, N.J., is a
product of Boonton High School
where he played lacrosse for four
years, being a two-time ALLSTATER and captain. .
Krill is one of six players in the
past two years to play lacrosse for
Wilkes via Boonton High School. The
New Jersey school sent some of the ·
best lacrosse players to Wilkes . At
Boonton, some of the best lacrosse in
New Jersey is played. Since his
coming to Wilkes, the team has risen
from a 2-7 record to a 7-2 record last
year, and they are currently 5-2-1.
At 5'10", 165 pounds, he thus far is
the.team leader in total points (32), 14
goals and 18 assists, averaging about
two goals a game. He also holds the
school record for most goals scored
in a game and is the team all-time
leading scorer.
When asked about the team 's
performance thus far and in the
remaining games, he replies, "I
thought the team played a fine game
against Muhlenberg and Kutztown,
and we have to play the same caliber
to defeat Bucknell, who play
nationally ranked teams and are an
excellent squad. The results will
already be in by the time this article
appears, but in order for us to win,
everybody has to play up t9
expectation."
, ·,
Wilkes probably will not participate in any post season invitational
tournaments because, as Krill puts
it, "The invitations are mostly
political and we're a small school so
· we go unnoticed even though we are
better than a lot of teams invited."
The last game of the 1973 season
will come on May 19 when Wilkes
hosts the Harrisburg Lacrosse Club.
Gametime is 2 p.m .
As far as this year 's teams '
capabilities go, Vinnie points out
that, "We had the capabilities of
going undefeated this year, but the
loss of Bill Winter , Steve Moscone
and Tony Cardinale forced many
sudden adjustments ."
The capabilities of Vinnie Krill are
very evident and there is a good
chance next year he will combine his
talents with those of his teammates
to make Wilkes even stronger in
lacrosse .

THE BEACON

Editorially Speaking
A Ch"llllenge for '77
The Wilkes College Beacon staff would like to
ta ke this opportunity to welcome the newest
rnembers of the college family - the Class of
1977.
You people, the coming leaders of our
society, enter this institution just one after it
was nearly destroyed by the wrath of Agnes.
Perhaps the correct line would be, "What a
difference a year makes!
One year ago _
l ast Sunday, President Richard
Nixon presented to Dr. Michelini a check for
$4,000,000 . Anyone who saw the cam pus Last
June2 4 and looks at it today can see the money
was spent in a correct fashion. "Operation Snapback," as the effort of
cleanup was cal led, was a most successful
maneuver. The name, given by a group; of the
early arrivals on campus, represented an
all -out effort on the part of the entire Wilkes
family to pull together and overcome this
nearly fatal blow.
Now, as we look back over the disaster of 15
months ago, we see the harvest of some very
difficult work. The new Carpenter Stark
Learning Center is proceeding, the library is
rapidly recovering from $500,000 dama,ge and
the Center for the Performing Arts is nearly
back to normal again.
It is up to the Class of 1977 to join in this
family that has shown so much zeal and
interest and to bec_ome an integral part of it.
Th is was the spirit which _g reeted you in the fall
of 1973, and it is the same spirit with which we
hope you can leave Wilkes - a more complete
indi vi dual because of it .

FRESHMAN ORIENTATION
President Michelini
Greets Freshman

Wilkes will become a part of your individual learning
experience. It will be a broad combination of many
things."
This was the welcoming message extended to some
600 freshmen and approximately 100 transfer students
and their parents by President Francis J. Michelini as
he greeted the members of the class of 1977 in the ,_. -Dr. Michelini was introdu,ced by · Dean of Student
Affairs George F. Ralston, who opened the program in
the morning by extending his own personal message to •
the new members of th~ Wilkes College family.
The Wilkes College president told the audience that,
"We are what we are because of what we ha-.e been
taught. Our lives are not necessarily related to physical
time. We exist in a world shrunken in size, but grown in
complexity. We are well informed but suffer certain
misconceptions."
The new students were reminded by the Wilkes
president that man is a member of the bidogical
system .
."The uniqueness of rnan is his ability to lecrn, a_
nd
transmit knowledge through books," President
Michelini said. "Man has the unique God-given
capacity to learn. He has intellect and free will which
allow him to learn and make choices within our
system. He has an understanding of good aid evil
which defies definition.
"The failure to utilize this intellect is a failure as a
human being, and it relegates ourselves to the animal
_level. It is the exercising of this unique intellectual
capacity that makes us man. You are the sum of what
you have learned through your parents, your ochool,
books, television, newspepers and magazines."
Drawing upon the college's motto, "U nity amidst
diversity," President Michelini told the new students
that Wilkes will become a part of their individual
learning experience. It will be a broad combination of
many things. If- this were not a period of some
uncertainty, we would not be human. Your presence is
a fact of your willingness to sacrifice for the sa&lt;e of a
new learning experience."
The Wilkes College President concluded his
welcoming address by extending every good \Nish for
success to the students during their four years at
Wilkes College. And he closed by saying, "The ability
to learn must be paramount in all we see and do. This
is a period of intense development. You are permitted
the luxury of total emergence in the learning
experience. The goal of Wilkes is, therefore, to provide
the diversity and resources, allowing for the maximum
development of ability in the learning experienoo."
The program was under the chairmanship of Wilkes
students Jacqueline Pickering and Kathy Mansbury.
Financial aid information was provided by Richard
Raspen , di rector of financial aid . Parents of the female
students met with Deans of Women Jane Lamps and
Linda Hobrock, while the parents of male students
attended a conference with Deans Ralston and Edward
Baltruchitis.

Editorially Speaking To Buildings
by Fran Polakowski

Words Of A ~reat Man
The most fitting editorial that could be
written at this trying time is one by Dr. Eugene
Farley, himself.
Dr. Farley gave the following advice on
looking at a college education. These are truly
the words of a great man.
"Within the past 50 years, more changes
have occurred in the world than have
heretofore occurred in the past 1000 . years.
During the next 50 years you will see changes
that will, in all likelihood, be far greater than
those of the past 50 years. One of your great
tasks will be to adjust your thinking to this new
world so that
you 'may participate
constructively in the unknown problems that
will confront you.
"You cannot live productively in this
emerging world by adhering to long-accepted
practices. If you are to live creative I y, it will be
necessary for you to gain a full awareness of
_what is taking place about you. Only with such,
understanding can you hope to adapt yourself
to a changing society, and only through
understanding can you hope to direct the forces
of science and technology so that institutions
can be mod_
i fied to adequately meet the needs
of men in l.ime of change. Un less your
generation makes up its mind that our
stru ctures of production and government will
serve men; these organizations may become so
rigid as to obstruct the development of
essential services .
,_, If you are to meet the challenges of the
future, you will require great vision, dedicated
" '
efJort and personal involvement. Whe1reas my
/1
generation and others have been frequently
blamed for the problems that exist today, I
would suggest that these are the products of
man's intelligence, ingenuity and stupidity.
Science and technology have changed our
world but our minds have not changed as
rapidly as has our way of life. Your challenge
will be to sustain the ideals upon which our
civilization is based and to preserve the best of
our institutions while abandoning those
segments of our institutions which are not
relevant to the emerging conditions. 1
"Men have never been confronted by greater
challenges. It is only man's ingenuity, concern
and dedication that can resolve these
challenge~.
"And you are "man."

THE BEACON

ARTHUR J. HOOVER; director of alumni relations and student activities:
"One of Dr. Farley's greatest joys was his opportunity to renew acquaintances with

former students and alumni - and his influence was felt by thousands of Bucknell and
' Wilkes alumni who referred to him affectionately as "the Old Man" and "the Great White
1;Father. "
.
. ' 'Having worked most closely with him during his two years as Chancellor, I recall v~vidly
the satisfaction he showed every time I walked across the hall into his office and told tum of
an alumnus who had just received a promotion, an alumnus who was getting married, an
alumnus who had become a proud parent. He considered all alumni as close friends and a ·
vital part of the Wilkes College family .
"And probably the most meaningful feeling for Dr. Farley which has been expres~ed
consistently by former students is that although one may not have always agreed with hlffi,
. he just naturally won your respect, admiration and loyalty."

JR.,

Di\ VID K. BICKEL,
who worked with Dr. Farley on founding radio station WCIB:
" It had been no special day - September 17, 1973, except for the silent passing of a
Quaker. He was more than a Quaker, he was a font of inspiration, a mental giant, a do~ of

impossible deeds, a wielder of an unholy sword- he was a silent Leviathan of a man. I did
not know him well - if I did, I could not be so dispassicmate or impersonal. He was a_man
who did what he so often dreamed. He created an educational institution where none existed
before, nor likely could exist.
"Through his efforts and pleadings, he fired the hearts of many influential men who
aspired to help make his dream a reality . In fifteen shoi:t years he took a conglomer?tion of
homes, a handful of faculty, and a sparse group of students and made a college that could
give back to the community the benefit of an education for its youth, which could never
before have been achieved .
"Through his determination he beat into shape, !ricked and mortared, planned and
gained support for his life-long goal of imparting an education to a valley he loved and
respected so dearly , He was a firm father image unseen on the modern campuses of today,
unheard of in the halls of the modern university. More than that, he was a man : a most
fallible man. He made mistakes as do all men. But unlike the common man, he asplired to
goals thought untenable by many, and foolish by some - unlike common men he succeeded
where they would not even tr.:y. He, along with his very capable and understanding wife,
worked with their entire mental and physical vigor to meet the high goals they set for
themselves.
"He made many enemies. Yet even his enemies recognized the total commitment to
excellence he attempted to impart. His deeds are too numerous, his biography too lengthy,
his life - far too short. Friend or enemy must respect this Quaker for what he was a,nd
always will be in their memories; in all he has left as gifts to those minds and hearts which
strive to gain wisdom through understanding of their fellow man.'
"A Quaker silently passed today and left behind him echos which will long reverberate as
examples in the minds of all men who aspire to reaclrtheir dreams - to aid their world.

Un-blacked out football had its
first trial run this past weekend in
the NFL and from the looks of
things, it may have been a
tremendous mistake on the part of
Chngress.
It was reported that there were
49,000 empty seats scattered
throughout the NFL ball parks
&amp;mday, compared to 29,000 all of
last season. I have a feeling that
wien Congress reviews the situation
at the end of the season, they may
have second thoughts about the
blackout bill.
The action on the field was not
affected, however, as the pros
i:roved that this could be a truly
exciting season.
This corner did not do all that well
in our weekly prognastications,

Editorially Speaking

Parking Still A Problem
Well, it's a new year, but unfortunately for
the students at Wilkes, the problem of parking
remains the same. While tuition continues to
rise, it seems nothing is being done about this
serious dilemma.
The problem is two-fol.d. Last year, the
administration offered a possible solution · in
that students would be able to park their cars
across the river at Ralston Field and have
shuttle buses take th.em to and · from the ·
campus. The only reply to this solution was,
"I 'II take my- chances on finding a spot on
.campus." The problern is when they say
"chance" - that's jusJ what it is.
The students' reaction to th is very possible
solution was one of total disconcern. It was like
the old adage," I've never tried it, but I know I
don't like it."
The total burden cannot be put on the
students, though . It is the opinion of many that
the administration need not worry about a
parking problem because it doesn't affect
them. There are plenty of lots on campus for
administration and faculty . If this is the case, it
is surely a selfish act.
Perhaps the most feasible answer is to ask
students to ride the mass transit, rather than
bring their car to and from school every day.
To alleviate some of the cost, the college could
rent buses, or students cou Id receive reduced
rates when riding the buses . Of course, the
students wouldn't have the freedom that they
en joy when driving a car to and from the
campus~ but the headache of parking would be
done away with. Unfortunately, mass transit
doesn't reach · everyone, but it does reach
enough to lighten the burden.
The above-mentioned is only a possible
solution . and should not be looked upon . as
gospel. It is written only to stir upsome int~rest
in this serious situation. It is our hope that at
least by the time the present freshman class
leaves this institution, the parking problem will
be gone.

Editorially Speaking
The following letter was written to James
Torbik, editor of the Beacm by Dr. Francis
Mich,elini, president of the college, in response
to the lead story in the September 27 issue of the
Beacon:
Dr. Michelini writes:
Dear Jim:
I would like to congratulate you and the many
students who have been involved in doing the
research and reporting for the Beacon. It is
a Iways easy for those not involved in such
activities to be critical at times by failing to
recognize that such service . is an extra
curricular activity performed by students
learning to develop the skills of journal'ism.
My letter is not intended to be critical of the
re PO r t·mg or wn·t·mg of the Iea d a r t ·IC I e ·m th e
September 27 issue which described the work of
the admissions office and the general
discussion of programs and reasons for student
selection of the College. However, the sub-title
indicating that enrollment is stable should be
clarified.
We are indeed running contrary to state and
n~tional trends where enrollment losses in
many private colleges in Pennsylvania are
averaging 10 per cent and where community
colleges and state institutions are also
experienci_ng severe sh if ts in enrol Im ent
patterns. "fhe final figure·s for Wilkes
enrollment this semester are somewhat below
2300 full .:'time day s1udents. This figure
represents drop of approximate! y 5 per cent
·
from last year's enrollment and is considerably
lower than r(light have been expected.
. The reasons for enrollment changes are
complex and range from varying attitudes of
the general public with respect to the value of
higher education to a post-draft situation, a
changing market situation for graduates, and
most significantly a changing financial
situation for students as costs increase and
sources of funding decrease.
At Wilkes in particula-r, where73 per cent of
our students receive financial aid, the decision
to pursue opportunities in higher education is
frequently linked to the nature of the financia I
aid package available to students. There has
been considerable nationa I concern expressed
by educators about the shift in the nature of
federal 'student a id and 1he changes in crite. ria·
being employed in the evaluation of eligibility
for such aid. Our financial aid officers have
been reevaluating all aid packages and sources
of aid to enable us to .accurately assess the
needs of students in I ight of constantly
changing criteria . Secretary Pittenger at a
meeting in the area on September 21 indicated
that increased stat~ eftor:-ts · w l ll be made to

Th~ use of phoney c red it ca rds, electron ic devices or any other means to avoid
paying for phone calls is against the law. It's stealing-pure and simp le.
In this state, conviction for making f raudulent phone calls may result in:
■

A fine of up to $15,000
Up to seven years in Jail
■ Restitution for the total cost of the fraud
■ Court costs
■ A permanent criminal record
■

One more thing: modern electron ic computer systems are being used to track down
offenders.
The penalties may seem harsh. But the co ld fact remains that the law does not look

(ANSWER TO LAST WEEK'S
SPORTS QUIZ)

This corner met its Little Big Horn
last week when it guessed wrong on
five of thirteen games. That puts us
at 24-13-2 for the season, but things
are looking up (we hope).
We thought Denver had the
manpower and talent to overcome
tough Chicago, but we were incorrect
and the Bears steamrollered their
way to victory.
Other miscues this week included
the Green Bay-Minnesota contest
where we mistakenly went with the
Pack, San Francisco's loss to the
Rams, the Jets embarassme'lt by the
Buffalo Bills, and Kansas City's
stunning victory over the Oakland
Raiders.
Well, so much for the past, the
future is now, as George Allen would
:my.
MINNESOTA AT DETROIT

This black and blue division
contest should really be a good one
with both teams coming off
impressive wins. Chuck Foreman,
tfie Viking's tremendous rookie
running back has put the finishing
touches on a fine offensive machine.
Detroit can also put points on the
board, but they are just a little weak
on defense. They are using two
rookies in their secondary, one of
them, Dick Jauron of Yale, hadn't
played defense since high school
until last week.
We see it-Minnesota 14, Detroit
13.

Labor leaders are being urged by a top management
kesman to support specific issues on which business
d labor have a common interest.
E. D. Kenna, p r esident o f the National Association
11anufacturer s says, that b u siness and labor have a
al interest "in o ur go vernme n t's u rging the tearing
of tariffs, q u o tas, rigged specifica tion s· and all o ther ·
ances to America n businesses in fo r eign m ar kets."
enna also pointed out to labor that :
'
" We should share an interest •in government ecopolicies that permit the earning of the necessary
to make possible plant expansion and modernizad provide the additional jobs necessary to produce

r and management should cooperate for the good
entire nation and join in a united front to make
an industry more productive and competitive.

A special course at Johns Hopkins
University here includes filling out
your death certificate, planning your
funeral, visiting a mortuary and
touring the state morgue.
·
Texts include "Death and the
Modern Man" and "The Meaning of
Death."
The 24-year-old instructor for the
graduate-level course on death is the
head of the Religion and Philosophy
Department.of Baltimore's Cardinal
Gibbons High School.
Stephen J. Vicchio, who taught a
similar course last year . at the
Baltimore County campus of the
University of Maryland, said when
he was five years old all the power
went off in his home and then news of
his grandfather's death came.
"Thereafter, I associated darkness and mystery with death," he
said, adding that he continued to
have unhealthy thoughts about death
until he picked up Dr. Elizabeth
Subler-Ross' book "On Death and
Dying" in 1970.
"It started building until now I am
really involved," he said.
Vicchio said very few persons
come to the class out of morbid
curiosity ..Most attend "because they
really have fears, misgivings and
apprehensions about death," he said.
"Certainly there are a lot of people
like that. I still have a lot of fears. It
helpsmetohelpthem," Vicchio said.
" There are some that have come to
accept death and come here to share
that."
.,
About 20 students meet each
Tuesday evening in a basement
. classroom in Gilman Hall to discuss
such practices as cannibalism and
the modern American funeral and
such philosophical questions as
afterlife.

Chwalek Advises Upcoming Graduates On Employment
College seniors were strongly
advised to start now if. they want to
have a job by the time they graduate
in May.
The advice was given to a large
segment of the more than 500
students in the upcoming graduating
class at Wilkes College during the
annual i employment briefing program held at the Center for the
Performing Arts.
Handing out the words of
emplo~ent wisdom to the seniors

was veteran college placement
director, John Chwalek, who has
been telling Wilkes seniors how and
where to get jobs for the past quarter
century.
"Students have to meet the never
ending competition ...they should
seek employment where the jobs are
offered, and not rely on a position in
their hometown," Chwalek announced.
The placement office secur~
contacts with business firms and

school districts, arranges interviews
with the prospective company, and
for the graduates, offers-vocational
counseling.
Though the placement office tries
to ,assist the seniors with proper
qualifications and recommendations
for a company, it is primarily up to
the student whether he or she is
hired.
''Our office is only the 'go-between'
in relation to the student and
industry. It is the student's

respo nsibility to be accepted or not, "
stated the placement director.
The interview is the student's tool
in the acquisition of employment.
Their foremost objective during an
interview is to convince the man that
they want to work. Promptness,
courtesy, directness of response, and
proper dress are also determinants
in being hired for a job.
For seniors to secure interviews,
they are required to register with the
placement office by completing a

qualification record fo

plans or problems. The fom

Well, our upset special of the week
didn't come through last week, but
we still managed to have our first
respectable week of forecasting
since the season began a month ago.
Let the records show that we polled
10-3 this time, giving us an overall
record of 34-16-2.
I had a lot of comments thrown at
·m e about our upset pick, most of
them challenging my sanity. But, I
thought the Chargers could pull it
off, in what has to be a very
unpredictable NFL season. Our only
other two miscues were going with
Baltimore in the New England-Colts
contest, and favoring Chicago in
their battle with the lowly New
Orleans Saints.
And now down to some serious
thinking, and our picks for this week:

(Wilkes College President Francis J. Michelini appeared on the football
fieldatthe halftime on Saturday to perform the traditional duty of crowning

and
·W HEREAS he successfully accepted all the
ordinary and extraordinary challenges which

hours of work for weeks on end, and the
demonstration of a spi~it that inspired others to

NEWS•VIEWS•THINGS
In One Man's Opinion
by Rich Colandrea

Judicial Council
Many students on campus are probably unaware of the practices and
tions of the Judicial Council. In the past the Council acted merely as a
unitive group towards students; however, this year the students may
·ng to court cases in rebutal to the college.
Th! Counci,l consists of seven judges and a council clerk. Two members
from the faculty, two members serve from the Dean's Council, and four
mbers of the student body, including the clerk, are nominated by
6ttxlent Government and approved by the President of the college.
This year's Council is --as follows: student members which rotate
hairmanship are, seniors: Joe Iero, Paul Hunter, Bill Philips, and Junior
lerk Ann Rapoch. The faculty is represented by Mr. George Elliot and Mr.
' Mistichelli, with Deans George Ralston and Linda Hobrock from the
lllministration.
Th! Judicial Council was formed ju_st three years ago replacing the
Cowicil of Deans. The Council was a student initiated action that was voted
oo by tre,students in 1970. It was their feeling that instead of being judged
olely by the deans and faculty, a better Council would exist if students
were judged by their peers.
Th! Council is completely free to make its own decisions and has the
ower from levying the least nominal fine to dismissing the student from
hool in matters of discipline.
Th! court hears a variety of cases pertaining to the guidelines for student
comuctsetforth in the Student Handbook all of which are held in a closed
ourt. Last year tl}ey heard cases of visitation violations, cafeteria
risings, and destruction of college property along with parking
iolations.
This year the Council is trying to revamp their functional procedures and
'sdiction. Not only will they continue to work in a punitive light but will
be open for students to present their cases about actions in which they felt
hy received unfair punishment, such as: intellectual dishonesty, parking
er damage fines, and violation of visitation policies. Very shortly the
Cooncil will meet with Resident Deans Steve Placko and Lynn Janski, IDC
President Lee Auerbach, Student Government President Pete Jadelis, and
Commuter Council President Mike Stambaugh to draft the final plans.
Th! Council this year will be of great help to the student in not acting as a
ooe-sided force as it has in the past. Students who are summoned by the
ourt that wish to use it in their favor, should be aware that it is a
onstructive, strong governing group, and should be aware of its
q,erations.
.
According to present chairman Joe Iero, "Judicial Council was formed
is operating for the betterment of the student body. I would like to see
ater participation and support from the students, so that the court can
fuoction more effectively."

Public Education and Teacher
Unions, consisting of five major
articles by a task force of the
Association, studying collective

B. V. Thompson, Jr., chairman of
the board, Texas Steel Co., points out
that "the basic concern with large

Ernst W. Farley, chairman of the

principally an economic weapon and
is "inappropriate to government

and chief executive officer of The
Times Spring Co., says that since the
first major collective bargaining
agreement in higher education in
1969, college faculties have become
prime targets for organizing efforts.

Student Officials Present Ideas

PETE JADELIS

LEE AUERBACH

An effective student leader must be concerned and capable: He must care about the
problems of his fellow students and devote time and effort to solve these problems. He must
be aware of the students' wants and needs and do his best to answer them.
Pete Jadelis, Student Government president, Mike Stambaugh, Commuter Council
president and Lee Auerbach, Inter-Dormitory Council president all possess these qualities.

Student Government
Allocates Monies
by Floyd Miller

~============-

i=======

This year, Student Government is presided
over by Peter Jadelis, a senior economics and
finance major from Kenilworth, N.J.
Pete is beginning his third year in Student
Government, having been recording secretary
last year, and was a representative the year
before .
His other activities have included intramural
sports , and he also enjoys surfing, water skiing,
snow skiing, and other water, sports.
On the subject Qf Student Government, Pete is
very enthusiastic. He feels Student Government's biggest function is to allocate monies to
campus groups and activities, whereas Student
Governments are usually communication links
between students and administration, and that's
a ll.
Socially, Pete feels that Student Government
is very strong, sponsoring the Pocono Downs
parties and films. This year , Student
Government will try to save on parties, and will
pass such __.savings to the students . A big
difference this year will be the new Student
Center at Church Hall . Upon completion of the
Stark Learning Center, the first floor of the
Student Center will mainly include lounge areas
where students can socialize and do some light
study , while alleviating the traffic in the
Commons and the first floor of the library . This
floor was painted during the summer by unpaid
student volunteers . At the present , the
basement, which will be a recreation room with
pool, ping pong and pinball, is being dug out by
student volunteers .
The school will pay for what is required by
Labor and Industry. Student Government will
pay for the rest, including ele~tricity, heating,
concrete and other construction costs. Figures
will be released later this year.
Academically, Student Government intends to

Pete is located on the second floor of
Weckesser Hall and can also be reached at
Extension 365. He invites anyone with helpful
suggestions or questions on Student Government
to call or come to see him.

MIKE STAMBAUGH

From their offices on second floor Weckesser they organize, plan, discuss, listen and act f
the benefit of the student body. They have Student Government secretary Marily
Cimahosky to help them. She does everything from organizing schedules to typing agenda
Together as a group of student leaders or individually in their own organizations, th

IDC Book Features
W-B Survival Tips
by Marianne Montague .

Lee Auerbach is very involved in his work as
Inter-Dormitory Council president. He has been
on IDC since he was a freshman. •He knows its
problems and its potentials and he's interested in
making the Council work for the student.
Lee feels that IDC has three main projects this
year . The first is the publishing of a discount and
directory book . The purpose of the book is to
advise both the dorm and day students on "How
To Survive In Wilkes-Barre." It will list
everything from " the cheapest dry cleaner" to
"the location of state stores." The book is
divided into four parts . The first is a list of all the
students on campus , followed by a list of faculty
·extensions , the directory, and finally, a report of
the discount policies of Wilkes-Barre stores. IDC
plans to canvass the stores, explain Wilkes
buying power , and request a college discount.
Store ads and discount amounts will be listed in
the directory . The IDC hopes to have this done by
second semester . The directory will be
distributed free .
Lee also hopes that the IDC can do something
about liberalizing dorm visitation regulations
and the college food situation. Other projects
include investigation of intramurals, innovation
of insurance policies for theft, cultural evening
programs , and the reworking of the constitution.
Along with Commuter Council, IDC hopes to
open a campus newspaper stand with daily
newspapers and periodicals.
Lee is an accounting major from Fair Lawn,
New Jersey . He is also chairman of the Concert
and Lecture Series, on the Executive Council of
Student Government, Ad-Hoc Committee of the
Board of Trustees, and Student Life Committee.
He hopes to become a CPA and possibly go to law
school.
He feels that, "It's important that if students
do have a gripe about anything, from the laundry
machines in the dorms to lack of social activities
on campus, that they air t_heir gripe to the
correct person, not just their roommate ; that the
student leaders have to be aware of the problems
to get anything done, and they can't be aware
unless the representatives do their part of the
job." The IDC office is open Monday and
Wednesday, 1 to 4: 30 p.m., Tuesday and Friday,
10 a.m . to 4:30 p.m., and Thursday, 11 a.m. to
4:40p.m. Lee is in Butler 105, New Men's Dorm.

Stambaugh Attacks
Student Apathy
by Marianne Montague

One of the most concerned and active students
at Wilkes is Mike Stambaugh, Commuter
Council president. From his office in Weckesser
Hall, Mike organizes the Council's work and
plans its projects . Mike, a junior physics major,
has been on the Council since its beginning in
1972. He feels that the Council should serve as a
voice box for the commuter students and feels
that its formation was natural, because Wilkes
has IDC for the dorm students and Student
Government for the entire student body .
Mike feels that the Commuter Co1,mcil has
"fantastic potential. " Presently the Council is
working on the parking problem. On October 16
Mike had a meeting with the Parking Authority
to discuss the rezoning of parking areas or
possible commuter rates for plarking. The
Council is also involved in social projects, such
as the Commuter Council - IDC Christmas Party,
combined card parties and coffee houses, and
films. Mike 's pet project is the- organization of a
Homecoming Bazaar, similar to the Cherry
Blossom F'estival, to be held in the fall of '74.
But Mike 's main concern at Wilkes is to do
something ' about sttftlent apathy. The topic
comes up repeatedly in his conversation and he
states, " In my years at Wilkes I've seen many
detriments to college life, but none so great as
the ones students inflict on themselves - their
own apathy. The only way that the college
student can enjoy col1ege life to the fullest is to
break out of his apathetic shell and get
involved."
Mike hopes to attend graduate school and
become a research physicist. The Wyoming, Pa.,
native is also a member of the Russian Chorus.
Mike hoeps to accomplish much in his work as
Commuter Council president. He wants to solve
the commuter problem and sponsor successful
social activities . But above all, if Mike could do
something to alleviate student apathy, he would
really feel that he accomplished something.
As leader of the Commuter Council, Mike would
like to meet all the students he is governing. So,
commuter students, if you have time, stop on the
second floor of Weckesser Hall, back in the
student offices, and meet the man who governs
you. I'm sure you won't be let down.

Bob sees Danforth, the deputy-govFULL

This power also makes him very

This language is one used m

More "international" than English,
Russian, french, German, or
Spanish, it has been the tool of many
learned men for several thousand
years. ~t is indispensible to the
student of Linnaeus, Copernicus,
Kant, Anselm, Descartes, Aristotle,
Rabelais, Pope, Swift, or Cervantes.
By now it should be obvious that
this " international language" is
Latin. Did you realize that Latin was
once the only language all educated
men could write, and that there
would have been no communication
during the late Middle Ages and the
Renaissance had it not been for
Latin ?
•
Wilkes College does not now offer
Latin, nor do most high schools and
small colleges. Latin, it is asserted,
is a " dead language" that died with

.

the fall of the Roman Empire.
Are the ideas of Kant, Descartes,
and Swift dead, just because the men
who had the ideas are dead?
Dr. Jose Ribas has indicated his
willingness to teach a course. in
elementary Latin should a sufficient
number of students wish to take such
a course. The proposal has been
made several times, but no student
interest has been evident. Dr. Ribas
is willing to try again. Are you

1692 in Sale~ when 19 persons were
hanged as witches on the hearsay of
hysterical accusers, and others
~aved th~msel~es only by " confe~smg" their havmg made pacts with
the' Devil.
Miller focuses most of the attention
of " The crucible" on the fate of a
young farmer's wife, accused of
witchcraft by a girl who hopes that
thereby she might eventually
replace the wife in the affections of
the husband - and on the doom that
this husband also meets when he
attempts to extricate his wife from
the unfounded charge before.. the
prejudiced authorities.
Frank Clare will be seen as the
young farmer with his stubborn
search for justice in a time of fear,
and Leda Pickett will enact the role
of his wife. Robert Klein will appear
as the over-bearing deputy-governor
of the colony who presides over the
trial. Fred Pacolitch will portray a
minister who becomes appalled at
the hysteria that overwhelms the
colonial village, and Robert Leach
will appear as another minister who
whips up the orgy of bigotry to save
his own position. Others in the cast
include Ruthanne Jones as· the
woman whose lies launch all the
hideous persecutions, Kathy Fritts
as an intimidated ally, and Kit
McCarthy, Debbie Yakus anµ Mary
Kay Malloy as other girls who try to
escape persecution for having dared
to dance by night in the forest, and
thereby cast fateful suspicion upon
the scores of harmless villagers.
" The Crucible" is being directed by
Jay E. _Fields of the Theater
Department at Wilkes College.

PAUL'S
PRO PICKS
I'm not going to make excuses for
last week's embarrassing performance,as far as my prognastications
are concerned. I could attribute it to
the unpredictable NFL season, and
the fact that the favorites are being
knocked off left and right. But I
realize this is the coward's way out
and instead, will blame it on my
extreme conservatism in forecasting
the grid contests for my six miscues
last weeken~.
From here on in, I am going to
shake my bonds of conservatism and
pick as I see fit.
By the way, despite going 7-5-1, I
did come out on top in my upset
special ( if you want to call it that), as
the Philadelphia Eagles downed the
St. Louis Cardinals in the waning
. seconds of the game.
This is how I foresee the outcome of
this weekend's grid encounters:
BUFFALO AT MIAMI

Both of these teams are tied for the
divisional lead in the East in the
AFC. Miami has played well on a
number of occasions, but other times
they seem to be erratic. Buffalo is a
young team, but have come a long
way in the last few years. Orenthal
James Simpson is on his way to
setting a new season rushing mark,
with the offensive line doing a fine
job. If quarterback Joe Ferguson can
mix a decent passing attack with
Simpson's running, I feel the Bills
can pull off the upset.
Buffalo 13 - Miami 10.
N.Y. GIANTS AT DALLAS

The Giants offense hasn't been
moving the ball due to the absence of
running back Ron Jonnson, but they
are overdue. The defense is sound
and capable of squelching the Dallas
attack.
New York 31 - Dallas 26.
OAKLAND AT DENV.11.:K

The Raiders are also having
offensive problems, while the
Broncos have a lot of promise and
talent. If the Denver defense can
sustain the Raiders' running attack
and put their own offense into high
gear, they possibly might come out
on top.

Gridders Face Ithaca "Wishbone" Saturday
- by Paul Domowitch
Coa'ch Roland Schmidt and his
Wilkes College gridders will be
looking for victory number fo ur this
week, as they invade upper New
., York . to face the Ithaca Blue
Bombers in an important non-conference fray.
.
Last Saturday in the homecoming
contest against Upsala, Colonel grid
fa ns saw the birth of an offense in the
Wilkes a ttack , as the Blue and Gold
point-scorers displayed plenty of
talent and confidence in the vesper
half of action.
Chuck Suppon finally learned how
to read tp e defense and Rodney "the
Rocket" Smith, after several futile
games of being run into the line, was
given the opportunity to turn the
corner, and did he ever accelerate ..
SJ'l}.ith gained almost 80 yards on the
ground on only 15 carries.
The defense gave up 214 yards
rushing but still played well despite
some unsure tackling. Halfback
Fred Marianacci and linebacker
Rich Lack, picked off two aerials
apiece; Lack taking one in for a 61
yard touchdown jaunt.
Overall, the Colonels looked a lot

better than they did a week earlier
against Moravian, and indeed they
must if they have any hope of beating
Ithaca and highly touted MAC leader
Juniata in the next two weeks.
Let's take a look at this week's
opponent, the Ithaca Blue Bombers.

Roland Schmidt

Ithaca College's chances for a third
straight winning football season
under head coach Jim B~tterfield,
will depend heavily on the
perfo rmance of its offensive line .
The lthacans lost six of their seven

available to fill the gaps, including
several vew faces from last year's
undefeated junior varsity team.

A strong defensive unit, including
an experienced front four, will keep
the Bombers quite respectable. Only
three members of the defensive unit
were lost through graduation.
We like the Colonels in this one,
now that they have an offense.
Whether or not it was a flash in the
pan performance is yet to be seen.

Roger Danbury, senior co-captain
of the 1973-74 Wilkes College Soccer
team, speaks with an air of
confidence as he predicts that the
blue and gold kickers should winJhe
majority of their remaining games.
They are now 4-3-1.
The Trenton, N.J. fullback
majoring in Business Administration, is a four year letterman and
sees this year's team as the best
team skill wise that he has seen at
Wilkes.
Danbury made his decision to enter Wilkes during his senior year in
high school when he was scouted by
the college. He visited the school and
found the people a nd the atmosphere
here to be very friendly, so he
decided to a ttend.
The six-foot, 175 pounder, who
wears number 18, is complemented
at fullback by two fine players in
junior J erry Blade and sophomore
Tommy Trost. When asked about the
team's strength, he laughed and
appropriately replied, " the defense ,

Roger Danbury
the fullbacks. " He also added that
newly acquired goalkeeper, junior
Don Mock, will be a big help to the
team.
When practice began in early
September , just about enough
players to field a team were on hand,
but since then the squad has grown to
22 players. The major problem
fa cing this yea r 's tea m is depth .
Quite a few of the members have not
played orga nized soccer before, but

After being defeated by both lAlbright and Kutztown State, the Colonelettes
rebounded with vengeance to trounce Bloomsburg State, 2-0, Thursday
afternoon.
·
The first half went scoreless, with each team matching their opponent's
efforts. Early in the second half, Wilkes gained offensive control and kept it
through the game. Coach Meyers
credits the win to her players being game , despite the handicap of
in top physical condition and having to play a new position.
Ellen 's distributions of passes to
out-hustling their opponents.
Marivita Saleski scored the first both sides of the field proved to be a
goal on an assist from Penny positive factor in helping the
Bianconi, while Sue Funke scored Colonelettes stay on the attack for
the other on a corner hit from most of the second half. While Susan
Funke held the defense togethe r and
Angela Centrella.
Coach Meyers is still meeting her played an "all-around excellent
challenge of rebuilding by con- game ," she also did a tremendous
stantly trying out new strategies and job of getting the ball to her offensive
shuffling positions. She seems to line a nd still managed to stop
have the natural talent of deciding Bloomsburg's drives at goal.
The Colonelettes ' record is now
what combinations of players will
work best together to achieve her 2-3-0. Their next home game will be
today at 4 p.m., where they will host
goal of another winning season.
Elle~ Schwartz played a fine Mansfield State .
are out and are working extremely
hard to perfect their skills.
Dan~ury pointed out that the
team's outlook at the outset of the
season was _not a positive one, but
now the reason he predicts such a
successful finish is because of the
great team spirit that the players are
starting to show-everyone wants to
play.
About the soccer program here,
Danbury states that Wilkes has had a
problem recruiting players since no
athletic scholarships are available,
which makes the better players look
elsewhere to play soccer .Also, soccer
is just starting to make its way into
Wyoming Valley, with only a handful
of teams. Once soccer is played on a
full-scale basis in the Valley, Wilkes
will be able to draw many talented
players from the surrounding areas.
He also commented that the start of
an intramural program in soccer
might uncover some talented
players.
Roger Danbury will be the only
senior booter lost to graduation next
June, but after his soccer career at
Wilkes, Danbury will kick for the
Ukranian Americans, a semi-pro
team in the Trenton area. He is also
looking to wprk in industrial
relations.
This June, Coach Tom Rokita, will
lose a very dedicated player; that of
Roger Danbury.

Cagers, Grapplers Begin Practice

Blue and Gold basketball and wrestling teams opened practice se
this past Monday, with both squads expecting bright futures.
The grapplers of Coach John Reese have 11 experienced veterans

Jimmy "The Jet''

Scholastic football in the Wyoming Valley area is really producing
outstanding gridders this season. One of the biggest is Jimmy "ti!
Cefalo, the senior sensation from Pittston Area High School, who is
way to consensus All-State honors this year. Pittston is c
undefeated after six games, and the Jet is one of the reasons why.
Ea rlier in the year, Cefalo accumulated 312yards on the ground in a

Jimmy hasn't made any commitments yet, but it looks like he'll

John Havlichek, the great leader of the Celts, is back in full for
exciting guard Jo Jo White.
The only new addition to the Boston cage team is rookie Steve Do
Indiana. He was an excellent center in the college ranks, but Coachi
Heinsohn has plans for him at forward.
The Knicks have one year remaining before both Dave Deb
Bill Bradley will retire, and this front court duo would like nothing

WRITE ON

Edi~orially Speaking
Richard M. NixonOur Present President
The events of the past week on the national
political scene scare us as American citizens.
The release of Special Prosecutor Archibald
Cox and the ensuing resignation of Attorney
Gener a I Richardson leaves the gap even wider
between Richard Nixon and the American
Pu blic.
One now must look at all the circumstances
that surround President Nixon. He is on the
verge of having impeachment proceedings
brought against him, the country is presently
without a vice-president, thanks to some nifty
economic work the 'dollar is worth less than it
ever was, and the overall feeling toward Mr .
Nixon is getting weaker by the day.
We hear the answer, "Well, Watergate ha ~
happened in other elections, so Nixon is not
completely wrong in doing what he did ."The
reasoning behind this is absurd. It is a sad time
in t h is nation whe~ a politician has to lean on the
adage, " Somebody else did it and got away with
it, so why can ' t I do the same ."
As for the firing of Cox and subsequent
re signation of Richardson, Nixon is going
agai nst ever ything he said when the two were
put in th eir posts . When Cox was installed as
specia I prosecuto r , Nixon stated t t,at Cox wou Id

On the other hand , if out of th is terrible mess
com es a strong democratic .f eeling and the
country is united once again, perhaps then it
would have all been worth it. Unfortunately, at
the present time, this notion is nothing more
than wishful thinking.

Who knows more about "Kids" than kids themselves?
"Kids" is a self-directed, interview-type show, engineered by the fifth and
sixth graders from the Main Street and Third Avenue Schools of Kingston,
and the Wyoming Seminary Day School, Forty Fort.
The program, which was instituted last year, is written, produced, and the
actual broadcasting is done by the students.
News, sports, hobbies, recipes and
songs are on the program's agenda

LOS ANGELES AT MINNESOTA
The Vikings have displayed a
well-balanced offensive attack this
year, mixing the sensational running
of rookie Chuck Foreman, and Ed
Marinaro, with the passing of Fran
Tarkenton to Jon Gilliam. Defensively, the Yikes are terrific. They_are
well adapted to stop the rush and
their secondary is experienced.
L.A. has displayed surprising
strength this vear under new head
coach Chuck Knox, and the Ram
fans thinking Super Bowl. Two new
acquisitions on the squad have made
the difference between victory and
coming close, namely Harold
Jackson and John Hadl.
This game can be considered a
tossup with either team capable of
pulling it out of the bag.

A battle of the undefeateds will
take place this Sunday up in
Minnesota, as the unbeaten and
streaking hometown Vikings take on
the equally streaking and undefeated
Los Angeles Rams.
This is only one of the many
important games which are on tap in
pro football this week. I only hope our
forecasting of the contests improves
a bit, after going 7-5-1 last weekend.

Approved
By Trustees

by Jim Torbik
The Board of Trustees, headed by
Thomas H. Kiley, chairman of the
board, announced a tuition increase
at its meeting of October 19, 1973. The
board consists of 34 members with
President Francis J. Michelini also a
member.
' Michelini, speaking for the board,
' announced that an increase of $150 to
the present $1,850 for the 1974-75
school term. Despite the rise in
tuition, there will be no additional
cost levied on dormitory costs.
Michelini stated, "We got by last
year (1973-74) with no. additional
costs by keeping administration,
faculty, secretarial and janitorial
help at a minimwn. We didn't raise
the cost, yet we raised salaries. The
raise in tuition for next year was a
necessary thing."
Michelini also explained what goes
into a college education costs.
"People don't realize that fuel,
electrical, telephone and labor costs
are all on the rise. All these costs
must be figured into the cost of an
. education."
With the increase to $2,000 a year,
this extra cost necessarily puts an
added burden on the students who
are trying to fund their education.
Dr. Michelini, who is chairman of the
Government Relations Committee of
the Pennsylvania Association of
Colleges and Universities (PACU)
stated, "With the rise in education
costs, we, along with all the colleges
in Pennsylvania, are trying to get
changes made in the Pennsylvania
Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) program."
''The maximwn level of assistance
from PHEAA at present is $1,200.
They are recommending an increase
to $1,800 maximwn. Also, the cutoff
level for a student's family income is
$15,000 and we are trying to get this
figure increased to $20,000. All of this
is an attempt to help the student
counteract the rising cost in tuition."
Looking back at tuition increases,
the 1974-75 increase will be the first in
three years. In 1972, an incrt;!ase was
avoided because the college was not
spending money during the summer
due to the Disaster Aid Program
which aided the college in cleaning
up the debris left behine by the wrath
of Agnes. There was also no increase
in 1973, because as Michelini said,
"We attempted to hold down the
tuition level at all costs."
When asked how much higher the
cost of education will go before it'
reaches its peak, Michelini answered, "No one really knows. With the
cost of everything on the rise these
days it necessitates an increase in
tuition. However, if these changes I
mentioned can be made in the
PHEAA program, much of the
burden will be lifted off the student.
This is what we keep working
toward."

Editorially Speaking
'You Gotta Believe ... '
- Tug McGraw, 1973

We would like to extend our congratulations to
the 1973 edition of the Colonel football team.
They pulled off a monumental task when they
whipped a good Juniata grid 11, 25-15, last
Saturday at Huntingdon.
The Blue and Gold overcame many obstacles
in winning th e "must" contest. First, they had to
travel for three-and-a-half hours before ever
stepping on the Juniata turf. Very often, this
l.ong ride takes the "edge" off the football team,
but this was surely not the case .last Saturday.
Second, they had to rebound following an
atrocious loss _u p at Ithaca only one week ago. In
the 39-6 loss, the Colonels were completely
outplayed, which even makes their rebounding
.ability that much more fantastic. 'As Dr.
Michelini put it so well, "It takes tremendous
courage to bounce back after such a beating.
These kids deserve a great amoun t of pra ise ."
Third, t hey had to do what most people said
couldn' t be done. They had to stop an unbeaten
Juniata 11 who only three weeks before had
whipped Ithaca by 14 points and ha'd cruised to
its first six wrns.
As is common knowledge now, the impossible
occurred. Thanks to a defense which allowed the
great Gary Shope only 91 yards passing, and a
misleading team total of 232 yards on the
ground, the "must" victory became a reality.
As we mentioned, the 232 yards was
misleading. With the exception of one big
52-yard run, the Colonel "D" held the Indians to
· 180 yards rushing, which is a major task. This
amazing defense also held tt)e triple-threat
Shope to a mere 29 yards on eight rushes, well
below his season level.
Surely, the defense was spectacular, but let's
not forget that offense that mis represented its
title of "ineffective" last week. It was an offense
that rolled up 168 - yards on the ground and
another 164 in the air. More balance could not be
asked for. It was an offense that banged out 16
first downs, and more importantly, it was an
offense that had leadership and savvy for the
first time in two games.
We have to admit that we were a I ittle hesitant

Don't be surprised if you are about
to become a parent or grandparent
around the year 2000 and the infant
arrives in a test tube.
Dt. James Bonner, famed biologist
of the California Institute of
Technology, predicts that within 20
or 30 years, infants will be conceived
in test tubes on a mass scale.
According to Bonner there are
approximately 2000 human defects
passed on from generation to
generation, and the human race
would die out through mutation,
evolution, and selection if it did not
learn how to circumvent' 'the genetic
lottery."
Dr. Bonner foresees a new
morality emerging when people
become accustomed to a stable
population. "Since we will only have
two children," he says, "let us endow
those children not only with no
genetic defects, but in addition, let
them have the very best genes
available."

and as a portrait pamter m oils. In
1824 he · was elected as an
academician of the Pennsylvania
Acad~myofFineArts, a select group
of artISts of the day.
In 1830 Catlin arrived in St. Louis
where he gained the friendship of
William Clark who with Meriwether
Lewis had made the famous
expedition to the Pacific Ocean from
1804 to 1806. Clark was SuperintendentoflndianAffairsatSt. Louis from
1813 to 1838. Catlin's introduction to
painting the Indians of the plains
came as a result of arrangements
Clark made for him.
Catlin spent from 1830 to ·1836
among the Indians of the West,
travelling many times at the danger
of his life in order to paint their
portraits, their villages, their
ceremonies. What he saw he
recorded, visually and in writing. He
was upset by the plight of the Indians
and knew that the days of the red
man were numbered. In addition to
an "Indian Gallery" of his paintings,
he conceived for himself a social and
political mission - to become a
spokesman for the redman whom he
held in deep respect. He proposed a
National Park west of the Mississippi
where the Indians and buffalo would
be left alone to roam,, where there
would be no white fur traders to

smallpox and other white rdan•s
diseases, no whiskey and no cheap
trinkets the white men used in
exchange for skins.
Catlin set up his "Indian Gallery"
of 494 paintings and numerous types
of Indian clothing and artifacts in
New York City in 1838. Later he
tqwelled with his Gallery' to
Washington, Baltimore and Boston.
Catlin later took his Gallery to
EnglandandtoFrance where it was
enthusiastically recei;ed.
His dream however was to have
the U.S. Go;ernment 'purchase his
paintings. He was never to see this
realized in his lifetime despite a
number of strong spokesmen such as
Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. His
original collection was given to
Joseph Harrison, a wealthy American, head of the Harrison Boiler
Works in Philadelphia who paid off
Catlin's European debts. After
Catlin's and Harrison's deaths, the
collection which included 445
paintings was given by Harrison's
widowtotheSmithsonianinstitution.
(twenty of this group are part of the
SordoniArtGallery'sopeningshow.)
In his late fifties, Catlin spent part
ofhistimeinthereadingroomofthe
Bibliotheque . Imperial in Paris.
There he met another frequenter of
the library who had delved into old
Spanish volumes describing lost gold
mines in the Crystal Mountains of
Brazil. Catlin decided to goin search
of the lost gold. When the search
proved futile and his miner's tools
were lost and broken, he began to
paint Indians. Although the South
American Indians were less friendly
to him, he did succeed in painting 30
different tribes and numerous
landscapes. (A number of this South
American series, on loan from the
National Gallery of Art, Paul Mellon
Collection, is also to be seen at the
Sordoni Art Gallery.)

Jere Woods and
Duane Sadvary
byRonNoyalis
It's certainly no secret to anyone
here at Wilkes that football is "king,"
and unless by some miraculous turn
in tradition, things will remain that
way for a long, long time to come.
Who's complaining, though? Football is, for the moment, here to stay,
and most people love it.
I really believe, though (unaware
as most people are), that we are in
the embryonic stage of a potentially
popular sport here at Wilkes - cross
country. Two of the truly talented
and dedicated individuals representing Colonels' cross country this year
are Jere Woods and Duane Sf¼dvary.

It's wishbone against wishbone
here and this proves to be a really
great game. The Longhorns started
slow, but are starting to put it all
together. SMU has one of the most
explosive offenses in the country, as
well as a fine defensive unit to stop
Texas' Roosevelt Leaks. This game's
definitely going to be close but we'll
take the Mustangs.

Oklahoma State at Kansas
Oklahoma State has played terrific
ball this year, including last week's
17-17 deadlock with Nebraska. Like

SMU, they possess a fine running
attack, but Kansas, led by
All-American signalcaller David
Jaynes, is also capable of putting
points on the scoreboard. We like
Oklahoma State in this one.
OKLAHOMA STATE 10-KANSAS 9
Colorado at Nebraska
The Cornhuskers are a mystery
this season and have won a lot of their
games by the skin of their teeth in the
tough Big Eight conference.
Colorado has been up and down all
season after being regarded as one of
the best in the nation in the
pre-season prognastications. If
Charlie Davis can find some running

annual Middle Atlantic Conference
championships Monday at Belmont
Park in Philadelphia.
After finishing 18th out of 18 teams
in their first try last year, Coach
George Pawlush is confident of
improvement this time around.
"We are definitely improved and if
we can put it all together, I feel that
we can beat some schools," Pawlush
optimistically stated. Best Wilkes
performance on the Belmont course
last year was a 31:38 clocking by
graduate Gary Horning.
· "Both freshman Mark Zavoy and
senior Jere Woods have a chance to
finish in the top 50 runners," he said.
"If they do, we will have met some of
our goals."
Colonels lost a heartbreaker to
Albright as Zavoy and Woods
combined for a one-two finish only to
have their effort wasted by a lack of
middle support. The pair registered
respective 25: 39 and 25: 49 clockings
over the 4.8 mile home course. Duane
Sadvary posted a 26: 55 for the
personal best of career and a sixth

investigated and the WilkesPolice were also called to

The reports of the two break-ins
has again brought up the question of
whether or not the security system at
Wilkes is effective . . Many of the
female dorm students this year do
not consider it to be effective. Some
of the students at Chapman Hall were
especially vocal about security
since the break-in there. One of their
complaints was that the security
guards who answered the complaint
on the night of the break-in refused to
search the rest of the dorm to make
sure the intruder was not still in the
building.

Security was considered a problem
last year by many students and the
results of the Student Government
opinion poll tend to support this idea .
The results, which were· issued not
too long ago, show that 75 per cent of
the dorm students polled were not
satisfied with security.
The students who responded to the
question, "How can it be improved?"
gave the following answers: More
lights, 33 per cent; More men, 34 per
cent; Improved communications, 30
per cent; and Other, 3 per cent. It
should be noted tha_t the· security

system's method of communication
was changed this year and the new
method is considered to be one of the
best methods of communication
available. Guards are now at the
scene within 5 minutes of receiving a
call. Lighting is also being improved.
It also appears that part of the
criticism of the security system lies
in a misunderstanding of the role of
the security force at Wilkes. The
security force at Wilkes is mainly
used to discourage any break-ins,
assaults, etc. from happening. It is
not the duty of the security force to
.

apprehend those involved. It is now
school policy that if an intruder is
found in a building, or an assault
takes place, the students should
notify the Wilkes Barre Police
immediately and then notify
security. This does not mean that the
students should call the police every
time they suspect something
suspicious; they should notify
security first unless there is
something definitely wrong.
It also appears that some of the
weak security results from the
students. Many of the dorm students

THE BEACON

Editorially Speaking

Security-Where Is Jf?
•
Sev~ral times over the past few years, the Beacon 's editorials have dealt
with the problem of security on campus. Prowlers and exhibitionists have
been reported on the Wilkes College campus, and women's resience halls
have been broken into several times. Each time such an editorial appeared, the
hope was expressed that security would be improved and that such incidents
would not be allowed to occur again .

Wilkes College was not alone; several other colleges have their own
security problems and their respective campus newspapers also editorialized
for better security. One such college is Muhlenberg College in Allentown,
Pennsylvania. Events which took place there last week prompted the
Muhlenberg Weekly to reprint an editorial they ran on May 10, 1973. The
editorial reads in part:

During this past year there have been a number of security problems on
campus. One is constantly hearing tales of the 'gentleman with a flashlight'
behind Walz Hall, and the 'Bikini man' who turns up everywhere.

In the week before Easter, Brown Hall was only broken into twice ... the
Weekly would like to take this opportunity to emphasize the need for a larger
security force and express the hope that during the 73-74 academic year, we
will see a reduction in this type of problem.

As_is usual, the problem was not effectively dealt with, and last ':'eek an
incident once .again brought the security problem to the forefront at
Muhle nberg. On Monday night, a prowler was reported at two separate
locations. Later on in the evening , a Muhlenberg senior was raped, the police
believe, by the same man. It should be noted that the abduction of the senior
took place in a well-lit area. The students at Mu hlenberg are again calling for
better security and it is hoped that the problem will be lessened, if not solved,
this time.

The prowlers and exhibitionists have been reported again this year, here at
Wilkes, and just a few weekends ago; two women's residence halls Chapman and Hollenback - were broken into on the same night. Again on
the same night, a prowler was seen outside of Chesapeake Hall.

It is a sad fact that such things can happen here on the Wilkes College
campus. But we are lucky. We have not had to experience the terrible thing
which ha ppened at Muhlenberg, but the potential is there. We must begin to
work on the problem now, bef?re such an incident takes place.

To the Editor:
Congratulations on producing a
fine Beacon thus far. If past editions
are any indication of what is to come,
I find it difficult to justify the gripes
of students. Your November 1 edition
was an indication that your staff had
its finest hour this year. I look
forward to your next edition.

Clarification
Bv Auerbach

The authors of the survey give me
" the right to complain," but when I
do voice my comments they object!
The authors of the survey mention
that I.D.C. should take action on
issues " that the students obviously
find intolerable." I would just like to
call attention to the fact that I.D.C.
has obtained free inter-campus
phones and has given the individual
dormitories the right to arrive at
their own lounge hours. Both of these
topics were issues in the survey.
The reason for this rebuttal was
simply to set the record straight and
should not be construed as an attack
on either the authors of the survey or
on Student Government. If we, the
students of Wilkes College and we
members of the student governance
organizations do not head th e
feelings of the survey, th en progress
will not be served.

for the sake of maintaining the
balance of power.
When Madame Prime Minister
Meir spoke at the time, she was
aware that the Soviet Union had
agreed to send more sophisticated
weapons to the Arabs - the SAM3s
(surface-to-air missiles) and the
more potent MIG23 jet fighter.
Since then all this has taken place
and the daily skirmishes in the air
and with artillery across the Suez
Canal have increased. The Russians
with some reported 12,000 technicians and combat pilots and
missile crews operat1ng in Egypt
have become directly involved.
While Madame Prime Minister
Meir and her nation await the
reappraisal of the situation regarding the possible unbalancing of
power in the Middle East, she has
reaffirmed to her country that the
Israeli Air Force - one of the finest
in the world on a pilot-for-pilot basis
- will fight Russian pilots if
necessary to hold the Suez Canal
front.
In a recent statement, Mrs. Meir
said:
"We do not seek opportunities to
engage Russian pilots in combat ...
but one thing we cannot forego and
that is self defense. We shall have to
do everything, with no consideration
or regard for who is manning the
planes, _when the need arises to
protect our army and our lines, and
with all that is involved in this.
"We al'e not at war with the USSR.
But if Russia sent pilots and they are
flying and if they will cause us to fight
against them in addition to the
Egyptians, then we shall have no
choice.
"We are not looking forward to
this, nor do we have any such plans.
But if it should become necessary,
then we shall not run away from our
lines, we shall not concede our
defense on account of whoever sits in
the cockpits."
Mrs. Meir and Israeli officials are

determined not to be defeated ... not
to lose that for which they have
struggled so long - a nation in which
they can live in peace. The
preservation and development of the
free State of Israel is foremost in the
minds of every government official
on down through the ranks of the
civilian-soldier who is prominent on
the streets of the major cities in his
dust-covered battle fatigues and
carrying his weapon at all times.
To the average Israeli - the nation
is there to stay and he fully intends to
make sure of it. What is more evident
is his confidence to do exactly that.
The Six-Day War removed any
doubts the Israelis might have had
that they can be outstanding soldiers
and military tacticians.
The danger might instead be that it
has instilled in them what could be an
element of over-confidence - a
somewpat dangerous thing in light of
the more than $2.5-billion in modern
weaponry which the Soviets have
sent into the UAR since President
Abdel Nasser and his forces were so
badly defeated.
At the end of that war, Russia was
not exactly happy with the outcome,
inasmuch as · an estimated $2.2billion worth of Soviet weapons had
been either destroyed, captured or
abandoned.
From the USSR viewpoint, Nasser
is a convenient tool precisely
because his and Soviet policy closely
converge, namely establishment of
their joint hegemony over the area.
Nasser has been the pace-maker and
the USSR has faithfully supplied him
with the wherewithal, applying its
own provoking touch at the
appropriate junctures - aiding and
abetting him, fomenting discord
among the Arabs themselves
mobilizing the radicals against th~
moderates, and the Arabs generally
against Israel.
The result has been a decade-anda-half of conflict, carnage and
wastage, reaching its highest point in

Halfback Floyd Alderfer, was
leading the MAC in rushing going
into the Susquehanna tilt, averaging
4.6 yards a carry. The 6 foot,
195-pound junior has gained 476
yards on 103 carries.
The Aggies have an experienced
game-tested defensive unit with a
number of standouts. A few of the key
stoppers are Don Capone, a 5'11"-200
pound defensive end, tackle Al
Bartlebaugh who tips the scales at
260 pounds, and defensive back Bob
Fullerton.
The only position that Delaware
Valley lacks experience at is their

Charles Abate, business manager at the college, is checking out one of the
gates which will be in operation very shortly. The device, located at
Weckesser, Parrish, and Franklin parking lots, will allow only authorized
personnel to park.
Entrance to these lots will be by magnetized card only, with the bearer
inserting the card into the device and the gate rising to allow admission. The
cards have been distributed.
1t is hoped that the gates will alleviate the congested ar s in the lots
which have been set aside for administration ~nd faculty.

The installation of the parking gate system at several campus parking lots
will soon cause a problem for those commuting students who presently park
there. The new system, though not completed, is installed at Parris_h ,
Weckesser and Franklin parking lots.
The parking gates, which are financed by operating funds, require
possession of a special card being issued only to administrators, faculty and
staff members . The lots at Franklin

Editorially Speaking

Can't We Park Here?

Student Wants
Rock Concerts
To the Editor :
There are two questions I would
like to ask of Hariet Scheideberg
concerning her letter to the Beacon
last week. First - what the hell do
you mean by "the stamina of a
college student." Second - what
type of reasoning process are you
using?
Perhaps Harriet, you are a
freshman at Wilkes, and maybe the
Homecoqling concert was your very
first rock and roll show; if so we can
chalk up the gross ignorance you
showed in your letter to inexperience. However, I have been part of
the Wilkes Family for three years,
and although the cost of the concert
was paid in part by my activity fee,
and I was entitled to free admission, I
nevertheless gave my ticket to a
derelict down on the square. Let me
explain my actions merely by giving
you a list of performers that have
played here since my freshman year
at Homecoming and Spring Weekend
concerts - The J3yrds, Sha-na-na,
Eric Anderson, John Hammond,
Poco, The Eagles, John Hartford,
and the Earl Scruggs Revue.
Harriet, except for Sha-na-na do you
see any pattern? If not, you should.
Now let me give you a partial list of
the groups who played at the
University of Scranton during the
same period - Seatrain, Fairport
Convention, Steve Miller Band, Mott
the Hoople, the Rokin Trower Band,
and Edgar Winter's White Trash.
Some of these groups are even from
England!
You see, Harriet, the student body
as reported by Rich Colandrea is not
bitching because of the choice of the
Earl Scruggs Revue and John
Hartford, it is just that we are fed up
going to the-University of Scranton or
Bloomsburg to see a legitimate rock
show - a privilege denied us by the
prolonged country - western - folk
trend here at Wilkes.
Love always,
Mike Paternoster

Perhaps the parking problem is an
overworked subject, but nothing is being done to
help the situation. With the addition of the
parking gates in Weckesser, Parrish, and

sneak into the above mentioned lots.

$2,000 as of next September, be forced to put up

TAKE CARE OF YOUR CAR
"You can't have your &lt;'ake and eat it too" is an expression which particularly fits our
present energy crisis.
In our determined st&gt;arch to eliminate air pollution, we have aggravated another
growing national concern, the energy shortage.
This conflict of goals takes many forms, but one that affects each one of us is the
control of automotive emissions. The control devices, particularly on the newer models,
use more fuel. The Federal Office of Emergency Preparedness says that gasoline consumption has increased 300,000 barrels a day because of such pollution controls. It
has meant the difference between adequate supply and shortage this year. It makes sense
to hold emission standards at the present level as a conservation measure.
Regardless of what kind of emission controls are ultimately installed on autos, these
devices will operate best if the vehicle is properly tuned. Proper maintenance will be as
important in reducing automotive pollution as the control devices themselves. A welltuned car runs more efficiently and gets better gas mileage.
This is a challenge to all involved in automotive maintenance work, car deale rs, garage
mechanics and service station operators.
Proper maintenance can be instrumental in achieving the broader goals of a cleaner
environment and energy conservation.

THE BEACON

Dr.Richard R ees Publishes Education Arti
One of the key members of the
Department of Education at Wilkes
College has had one article published
nationally , and recently received
word that two other articles have
been accepted for publications that
win· be circulated among educators
in the nation.
Dr. Richard T. Rees, as assistant
professor of education at Wilkes
College, has written an article, " The
Bureaucratic Socialization for Student . Teachers," which will be
published soon in the " Journal of
Teacher Education. "
Dr. Rees is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
William Rees, 45 S. Thomas Avenue,
Kingston, and is a former Kingston
High School football star.
Dr. Rees, who served in a similar
post at Montclair State College

before coming to Wilkes, is working
in conjunction with Wayne K. Hoy in
producing the article. The duo has
experience in the writing field, as
they have previously written, "The
Principal and Teacher Loyalty,"
which appeared in the "Rutgers
University Research Bulletin" in the
fall of 1971.
In 1974, Dr. Rees plans to come out
with his third article, . "Caution:
Bureaucracy Ahead," which will be
published in the " Contemporary
Education" in the fall of 1974.
In his most recent article, Dr. Rees
discusses the examination of
student-teacher attitudes with respect to their bureaucratic orientation, pupil control ideology and
dogmatism, and the effect of the
student-teaching experience on those

attitudes.
Dr. Rees, now a resident of 10 Park
Lane, Mountaintop, received his
bachelor of science in secondary
education from Wilkes College and
went on to receive his master of
education from Rutgers University
in 1967. He received his doctor of
education degree in 1971 from
Rutgers University.
Presently he serves as a member
of the College Admissions Committee and is sponsor of Wilkes-Malabar
Drug Education program. He also
teaches numerous courses at the
local institution.
Prior to coming to Wilkes, Dr. Rees
~erved as a vice-principal in
Metuchen (N.J .) High School from
1965-1969 before going to Montclair

A Winter Weekend is being considered by the Inter-Dormitory Council. The weekend under consideration
contains a full schedule of activities. Current plans indicate that the weekend would include a dusk to dawn movie

The energy crisis was also discussed. Steve Placko, assistant dean for residence hall life, doubted that there was

The me·mory of knowing a very

President Francis J. Michelini has announced that a number of
administrative positions and responsibilites have been made, the major
change coming in the office of Dean of Academic. Affairs.
The administrative restructuring, which Michelini called a "progressive,
continuity of change," reliev~s the present Dean of Academic Affairs, Dr.
Donald Tappa, of his duties anci puts in his place Robert Capin, presently a

A resident of White Haven, Dr.

A _special appeal has been made by Wilkes College
President Francis J . Michelini to all members of the
faculty, administration and student body to be "extremely
conscious" of the need to coopenite in the conservation of
energy.
The college president met early in November with
Charles Abate, college business manager, to go over plans
whereby the institution might lend total cooperation to the
national plea to conserve energy.
'
_The meeting followed a conference held by Wilkes-Barre
City Manager Bernard Gallagher for heads of various
institutions and firms in the region. Dr. Michelini and Abate
represented Wilkes at the briefing on measures to be taken
to save on energy.
Abate said thal all college personnel have been instructed
to take all reasonable measures necessary to help ease the
burden. Instructions have been given to extinguish lights
when classrooms or offices are not in use· keep
temperatures at workable, but minimum settings, and 1
redu~ed to 55 degrees when the area is going to be out of
service for any extended length of time.
During the period of almost a month between semesters
all coll_ege _buildings that do not require special heating wili
be mamtamed at temperatures that will contribute to the
conservation of fuel.
Students and college personnel are being encouraged to '
make their own arrangements, where possible, to use car
pools or public transportation.
President Michelini said he had been assured that the
continuation of all interior and external lightingJJsed fc,r
security purposes would not be considered significant and
would create a hazard that far outweighed any minute
saving.

The· Returns, Elease
Every W ilkes student is concerned with t esting - in one form or another
- during his college career. Although students may dislike testing and can
fi nd various reasons for its removal, it still is and always will be a part of
student life.
Each professor has his own decisions to make about giving tests - how
many to give a semester, in-class versus take home·, objective versus
essay, grading system, curves, etc. It is the prerogative of the teacher to
make these decisions according to his own standards and convenie~e.
But we feel that professors should be in agreem~nt on one point. We
feel they should return the graded te~ts to the students. We are referring to
the classroom o~ take-home tests given during the semester. We realize
that final exams are next to impossible to return so they are not part of this
issue.
Some professors give tests during the semester and do not give them
back to the students or go over them at length. We feel it is important for
the student -to know his grade but more important to know what he did

'
wrong and what he did right. Feedback on testing enables the student to.
adjust his studying habits and helps him to decide on the importance ; f
particular material. The feedback is especially essential if the student's o~ n
ideas are incorporated in his work.
The one-hour test papers are also helpful in preparing f~r final exams.
The work load per student ha~ been increased with the scheduling of
exams before Christmas. The student has more one-hour tests and papers
crammed into less time, and he needs all the help he can get. We feel it is
not only important to the student's welfare and education to receive his

To the Editor:
Hurrah for the Beacon's acceptance of the Drunken Driving
Advertisement of 11-1-73!
In utter disagreement with Dr.
Reif's letter to the editor of 11-15-73,
and we quote:
" If nature uses drunken driving
and the totaling of vehicles as one
way of selecting the kooks who are to
be dropped from the population, why
run an ad against such a biologically
sound practice? "
We would like to ask, what of the
thousands of innocent people
murdered by these drunken drivers
in the act of removing themselves
from the population?
We could consider your argument
if the only person killed in the
accident was the drunk driver, but in
most cases, many innocent people
die. However, we cannot evep see
justifying drunken driving as a
method of maintaining the ecological balance of eliminating the
" kooks," fo~ we S!;le no _justification
for tht: taking ~f a life or ev~n
condon_mg t~e taking of ?~es own life
under mtoxicated conditions where
this "suicide" . is not ones own
choice?
Please do not misunderstand us,
we agree that the "kooks" must be
taken off the road, but the

Almighty Reif
Owes Apology
To the Editor:
It is nice to see that the Wilkes
College community has its own
self-appointed judge of destiny. It is
a shame to find a man of such
experience to be of considerably
limited scope. Dr. Reif should try
some self examination and consider
the things he says. It is a sorrowful
fact that many people will take what
a man says . as the almighty truth
because of a man's position.
If we were to follow Dr. Reif's
principle a bit further, selection
would take care of the sick old and
disabled, and we would 'hav~ no
further use of hospitals.
I hoped the educational experience would do away with some of the
ever-so-right Archie Bunkers in our
society. Dr. Reif has gone a long way
in proving you can take the boy out
of the country but you can't take the
country out of the boy, ·and it takes

more than degrees before a
can see the light.
I'm sure that many in
community have lost a loved
an automobile accident caused
drunken driver, and to those
feel Mr. Reif owes an apology.
kooks are killing a lot of ·
people.

Energy Crisis And You!
With an " Energy Crisis" hitting the United States, we, the members of
the Wilkes College " Family," have to unite and help fight this monster
which is quickly turning the wealthiest nation into one of turmoil and
shortage.
·
There is one particular aspect of the family which can help immediately
and that is the dorm section.
How often do you leave a room and leave the lights on while you go .o ff
to a party only to return two or three hours later.
What about the person who turns the heat up to 74 degrees when
during the summer you would have found that temperature uncomfortable
and prayed it would drop to about 68.
Those who take very hot showers would b~ better off to take them in
cooler water because not only would less fuel be used, but also it is better
for th~ hair which grows healthier due to the cool water.
We believe that if residents of every dorm got together and discussed
the issue at hand, they would become more aware of the situation we are
now in and they as a group could draw up plans to do their share to help
put the country back on the path to wealth and prosperity.
It may not seem like much, but "every little bit helps" and enough little
bits eventually grow into something big.
It doesn't take much time and effort to close some lights, and t-he human
body can adapt to almost anything with a certain amount of conditioning.
So now it is up to you to think seriously about it and to consider the
choices that are given to you.

\l'age and price controls are destroying_ the customary

Of you I sing
my ruby-eyed portugese,
capped by a golden-hued bonnet,
winking coyly behind
a soft green window
A stronger temptation
you are, than sun
filled May when
dry labor calls,
a flowing warmth,
unmatched by crackling
logs in hearthful lure,
unhoused, you joyfully
swirl, enticing in
cut crystal, prideless
in decanted mirth;
no friend of melancholy
you whose laughing soul
spirits away
the pensive mood,
the knitted brqw,
yet more than friend to me,
my blushing lover,
a cold first touch
belies the fire you are,
the joy you give,
and by your favor
a dancing spirit released,
whirling on liQuid sunbeams.

Curb Energy
This Winter
If we run out of energy fuels, our
creature comforts will be curtailed
sharply. So, alert homemakers are
checking every nook and corner of
the house for ways to conserve
energy this winter.
Since insulation is the number one
means of keeping heat in - or out it's wise to start at the top of the
house and work down when checking
on insulation. Homes that are more
than 15 years old are often not
adequately insulated.
According to the National Bureau
6f Standards, a ceiling should have
six inches of insulation, walls about
four inches, and floors about two
inches.
Insulating your roof can save up to
90 per cent of heat loss; insulated
walls can save up to 60 per cent, and
insulated floors up to 70 per cent.
Storm windows and doors of wood
or aluminum also reduce heat loss
by as much as 50 per cent. In some
areas of the country, homemakers ·
heave storm windows on all windows
the year around except for one or
two needed for ventilation in hot
weather. It reduces air conditioning
costs.
Other vital areas to check include
your heating plant: Does it operate
efficiently? Has a qualified service
man inspected it recently?
Be sure any cracks around
windows and 'doors are sealed. Close
dampers on fireplaces when not in
use. Insulate hot water pipes that
may pass through cold spaces. Close
off rooms that are not used
regularly.
Double check to see that radiator
covers do not trap heat or that
furniture is not arranged to block the
flow of heat. Incidentally, a layer of
aluminum foil between a radiator
and a cold wall will reflect heat back
into a room.

Freezing Food
No doubt about it, a freezer can
save you time and money when you
take advantage of in-season products and special sales. But good
planning is needed to gain all the
benefits and avoid - some of the
problems you could · have with
freezing food.
For example, foods vary in the
. degree of temperature and moisture
needed to retain their fresh quality.
So, keep a thermometer handy to
check your refrigerator and freezer
for proper temperatures. Refrigerators should be below 40 degrees F .,
and freezer cabinets should be
maintained at zero degrees.
According to the Food &amp; Drug
Administrati!)n and Agriculture
Department, food begins to thaw
and cannot be safely held for any
length of time over 10 degrees above
zero. In the regular part of the
refrigerator, meat should not be
held over five days. Irowever, in the
freezer at zero degrees meat can be
held for several months or longer
depending on type and cut.
In case of electrical power failure,
do not open the freezer unless
absolutely necessary. If it has been
properly operated, food should keep
for about 24 hours if freezer is not
opened. You may safely refreeze
most thawed foods if they still
contain .ice crystals or if they are
still about 40 degrees and have been
held at this temperature no longer
than one or two days after thawing.

New Sordoni _Art Gallery Qpens

l.·

One of the mostcolorfulaffairsin the history of Wilkes College was held recently, when several hundred regional

Among those attending the private showing were, from left: Mrs. Mary Sekers, Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Sordoni III,
Mi:s. Francis J. Michelini and Dr. Francis J. Michelini, Wilkes College president.
The dedication was highlighted by the opening of a six-week exhibition of the seldom-circulated national
collection of 36 works by George Catlin.
Among those who attended the private showing were members of the Sordoni family and many prominent
figures from government, business and education.
The collection was brought to Wilkes College on loan from the Smithsonian Institution's National Collection of
Fine Arts and the National Gallery of Art.
Catlin, who was born in Wilkes-Barre in 1796, gained international acclaim as a portrait painter and miniaturist,
specializing in paintings of the American Indian.
A.J. Sordoni III, president of Sordoni Enterprises, acknowledged expressions of appreciation from Wilkes
President Francis J. Michelini during a reception that followed the dedication. Sordoni explained that the "Sordoni
Art Gallery was given to Wilkes College by the Andrew J. Sordoni Foundation, Inc., to encourage the apprecia~on
of art."He added that the gallery is dedicated to displaying and preserving works of art and to serve as a teach mg
aid.
The Catlin exhibit will be open to the public through January 5, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5p.m., and
on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.

Although you'll enjoy semester

offer this as consolation. When you
return you'll find something new,
coupled with something old. It's
something student governments,
past and present, have been working
for, for a long time. It's something
you'll enjoy as students and will
hopefully become the hub of
activities for years to come.
So have a good vacation and look

gersoll-Rand, Wilkes Reach Agreenient
An internship program with the
internationally known IngersollRand Company that will benefit
senior accounting majors at Wilkes
College, has been announced by
Wilkes President
Francis J.
Michelini.
The addition of Ingersoll-Rand to
the list of firms which have
internship working agreements with
Wilkes College greatly enhances the
opportunities for on-the-job training
in the senior year.
The program with Ingersoll-Rand
will commence in January, 1974, and
as is the case with the other firms,
will provide academic credit toward
a bachelor's degree.
In addition to the internship
program, the Ingersoll-Rand Company will interview in April
accounting majors completing their
junior year in June of each year.

Students Will
Vote Today at 11
by Chuck Riechers
Students will vote on their choices
for the Spring Concert today from
11-1 in the Commons and from 5-7 in
Pickering Hall (NMD). A question
will appear on the ballot of whether
students are willing to supplement
the cost of concerts to improve the
choice of groups. Four groups are
available at present if students
attend concerts free of charge.
Through negotiation, SG was able
to obtain a higher quality carpet for
less, to be installed in Church Hall.
SG voted to grant Theta Delta Rho
$300 to supplement costs for a
semi-formal dinner dance to be held
February 22. Tickets are $10 per
person for Wilkes students and their
dates. Music will be provided by BBK
Expedition.
SG will present a free movie,
" Where Does It Hurt," tomorrow
evening at 7 and 9 in the CPA.

WRITE ON

Editorially Speaking
Interpretation
Aimed At All

Our Unpaved Streets
If you recali, before the flood came in June of
1972, the people of Wilkes-Barre were promised
that something would be done about the
horrendous conditions of its roads.
Well, all you have to do is take a drive through
the city and its suberbs and see just how much
was done.
· Potholes, rugged railroad crossings, and
car-grinding roads are still in abundance. The
ironic part of the whole thing is it is not the side
roads and back streets which are in bad shape
but the main thoroughfares which take people
back and forth to work each day.
The city would have an excuse if taxes had
been cut, but this is not the case. We ask, where
has all the money gone that was allocated for the
repaving of streets?
While all the talk of the gas shortage has been
going on, this very serious dilemma has been
pushed aside. However, we wonder how much
more torn up these streets can get before they
are altered?

"As free as the air" used to be a
common expression. No more. We
now pay for air, or at least pay to
keep it cleaner.
Buyers of most 1975 cars will
spend about $150 for the catalytic
converters required to meet interim
emissions standards established by
the Environmental Protection Agency. But that's not all, they'll have
maintenance and replacement costs
as well.
The National Academy of Sciences
estimates that a car equipped to
meet the emission standards of 1977
will cost $270 a year for five years
including the higher purchase cost,
increased maintenance, and more
fuel consumption compared with a
1970 car.
Meanwhile, drivers of 1973 cars
are paying about 15 per cent more
per year right now due to a
combination of higher fuel consumption and increased cost of gas per
gallon. Cars equipped with emission
control systems use more gasoline.
Also, catalytic converters cannot
function on the lead compounds in
some gasoline, so anti-knock
charateristics must be built into
gasoline in the refining process.
This, of course, increases costs
along with the added expense of
storing and transporting the
unleaded gasoline separately.
Another factor in higher costs is
the need for more crude oil to refine
low lead gasoline. It is estimated
that 110 million additional barrels of
crude oil will be needed annually at
a cost of about $550 million. With
foreign oil supplies being cut back as
well as increased in price, that
figure also will go up.
Most engineers feel that the
catalytic converter is an interim
device, and a better system will be
developed. Then, of course, millions
of cars will be left with the old
system that will require parts and
service.
Such is the cost of " free" air.

Outdoing Secretariat
The public payroll continues to grow about twice as fast
as the population it serves, while the taxpayer is bludgeoned ~nto paying higher and higher taxes.
On an annual basis, the Tax Foundation estimates that
wages of civilian employees on government payrolls will
exceed $118 billion in 1973.

In _five years (1967-1972) employment in the public
area mcreased 13 per cent, while the nation's population
increased about five per cent.
More than half of the 371,000 increase of full-time
equivalent employment in 1971-72 was in education, the
field that claims half of all state and local employees.
It is only through increased citizen interest that sound
management methods can be utilized to keep the public
payrolls in check.

Operation Tree Plant A Success
Recently, the Wilkes College Clean Environment Club, with the cooperation of the Wilkes-Barre Recreation
Board under the direction of James McClelland, and the Wilkes-Barre Parks and Recreation Department, planted

SELECTION

Bill Kern
No doubt about it, Bill Kern is the best silk-screen artist that I've ever seen
at Wilkes.
He _kno~s how to use lots of flat shapes, sharp lines, precise color
co~bmat10ns -hard energy. There is that same philosophy throughout a lot
of his work.
But it's not crude or cold or anesthetic like most hard-edge works that
sterilize, rather than vitalize. Bill's stuff comes off as a soft nostalgia an
easy ~rin and grace. He did a '58 Pontiac which is my favorite single work so
far this year.
His paintings don't carry it off as well. He's jumped into a realistic vein of
surrealism, but ... I don't know. The theory was there, but that's about it.
Photography, I guess, is not Bill's forte either, although he did one
ex~ellent shot that he used for a poster. It's interesting to note that insted?:I of
gomg for bold, flat shapes, he tends to use fine textures, lots of wet blacks,
and there's a good deal of depth, too. The antithesis of silk-screens!
But there'~ nothing t~at told us an~thing photographic. No image impact.
However, with those silk-screens, Bill doesn't need anything else.
Noll-Pelancher

'.fhe first sight as I ambled into the Conyngham Gallery last Monday was
th1~ beautiful, floati~g acrylic. Michelle Noll had composed a melody of
oozmg colors that spm and flow, creating pastel-like alluvial fans. It was
kind of "Redon-esque" in flavor. And it's one of those deals which only
comes out 'one-in-ten' times.
Marylin Pelancher's jewelry was superbly crafted and overall
well:Iesigned. I was st~ned at the handling. No splashes of solder. No
hackJack edges. No grotesque scalP-s. Just fine, fine work.
The r~s! of the show, I hate to say, was lacking. The photographs in both
were spmtless: un-sorta-photographs. Un-strong.
Many watercolours were more like water-less-colours. All too dry. And
the other graphics and paintings had problems, too.

Wilkes Grapplers, Cagers Gain Big Victorie
Gain 7 Falls
In- Victory

Third Win
In A Ro

by Paul Domowitch

For Quinte

.. The powerful Wilkes College
wrestling team breezed to their
second victory of the season last
Saturday evening at Tne Franklin
Street gymnasiwn, pulverizing
Western Maryland College 53-0.
The Blue and Gold grapplers
picked up seven falls, two superior
decisions, and one regular decision
on their way to the biggest point
output in the annals of Wilkes
College wrestling history. Coach
Reese's team is now 2-1 on the
season, their only loss coming at the
hands of powerful Lehigh University
in the season opener.
Rick Mahonski had no trouble
with Western Maryland's Jed
Marchio in the opening bout of the
evening, winning a super decision
14-0. After picking up two points in
the first period by virtue of a
takedown, Mahonski put his man on
his back three times in the second
stanza, but failed to show him the
lights.

UNBEATEN CAGERS-Two of the key reasons for the Wilkes College basketball team's early success has been
the play of forward Jack Brabant and center Greg Buzinski. Brabant is shown going high against the glass for two
points against Wagner, while Buzinski looks underneath for an open man in the same game.

Another Wilkes' super freshmen,
Lonny Balwn, made short work of
his opponent in the 126-pound bout,
pinning him in 3:50.
At 134, John Chakmakus rode to
his third victory of the young season,
pinning WM's Bob Griffin .in 3:45.
Griffin was losing 5-0 when the fatal
moment occurred late in the second
period.
Tom Yates gave the Colonel's
Artie Trovei a little trouble early in
the 142-pound match before bowing
out 6-1. Artie handled his opponent
relatively easy during most of the
match, but Yates refused to be
pinned.
Mike Lee picked up the Colonels
third fall of the evening, when he put
Guy Royston of Western Maryland
on his back in 3: 24 of the 150-pound
bout. This upped the team total to
25-0 after five matches.

Wilkes' Gene Ashley and Western
Maryland's Bill Powell were tied 2-2
going into the final period of the
158-pound encounter, before Ashley
reversed him and showed him the
lights in 7: 32.

BEST OF THE BEST-Senior Mike Lee, one of the best grapplers ~ his weight class in the entire country, is shown
putting Western Maryland's Guy Royston towards his back in the Colonels' 53-0 blitzing. Mike will be one of the big
keys Coach Reese is counting on to beat nationally-ranked Navy on Saturday at Annapolis.

Jimmy Weisenfluh continued his
unbeaten ways at 167, when he put
WM's Bill Burke on his back for good
in 3:28. Weisenfluh had a comfortable 5-0 lead before the fall.

Wittenberg Pulverizes Juniata
To Gain NCAA Division 1·11 Title

Getting his first start of the
season, Bobby Yanku rode to an easy
15-1 super decision over Joe Booker
of WM at 177. Yanku was extremely
aggressive during the entire match
and had Booker turned around on
three occasions but couldn't put him
away.
Colonel Junior Joe Grinkevich
upped the Wilkes lead to 47-0, when
he put Ed Bering's shoulders to the
mat in 4:17 of the 190-pound bout.
Blue and Gold heavyweight, Al
Sharer put the finishing touches on a
sensational evening for the Reesemen, when he floored WM's Bob
Kehler in 1:45.
Next action for the Colonel
grapplers is Saturday, when they
face Navy at Annapolis, Maryland.

Wittenberg College captured the
first NCAA Division III championship last Saturday afternoon in
Phoenix City, Alabama, trouncing
Juniata College 41-0.
Led by quarterback Lloyd Ball's
four touchdowns, the Ohio school
had a relatively easy time in
handling the Indians, who were
winners of the Lambert Bowl,
symbolizing supremacy in Division
III football in the East.
Wittenberg scored early in the
first period, as Juniata couldn't stop
their punishing ground game.
Led by two more Lloyd Ball
touchdowns, the Tigers took a 21-0
lead into the dressing room at half
time.
Juniata started strong in the third

quarter, stopping Wittenberg quickly, and moving the ball upfield only
to be stopped by an ineligible
receiver penalty which killed a big
gain.
The Tigers came right back as
Ball unloaded a bomb to split end
Joe Harper, who took it 71 yards to
the one yard stripe. From there, Ball
took it over for ,his fourth score.
After holding the Indians again,
Wittenberg picked up their fifth
score of the afternoon, with Dino
Johnson going over from two yards
out. Johnson was the big ground
gainer during that drive, opening up
one for 28 yards.
Wittenberg's final score came
after Tiger defensive back Art
Thomas intercepted a Gary Shope
