(Continued On Page 6) Court Renders Decision To Widen River Street The efforts of Wilkes-Barre area residents and a Wilkes College student group to block the proposed widening of the River Streets along the historic River Common received a setback recently. The seven-judge panel of the State's Commonwealth Court in Harrisburg ruled that the widening scheme outweighed any environmental harm to the "public common" grounds. In effect, unless the ruling is appealed, the state may widen the River Streets at the earliest opportunity. The court action was initiated ly laid out in 1770 by settlers of the nearly two years ago by several area Susquehanna_Company citizens in a class action against the The original Common contained a State Department of Transportation little over thirty-nine acres of and the City of Wilkes-Barre.

If this occurs, it will mark the first time the two institutions have met in recent years. One must ask himself why is this so? Why can the two schools travel hundreds of miles a year, while the biggest gate attractio_n and rivalry is but blocks away? If the two schools meet, a packed gym is aln:,ost a certainty and then perhaps with money in their pockets the two schools will realize that the get together of these rival institutions is a good thing. For the enjoyment of the Valley and the two respective student bodies, we surely hope th is is the case. It's YoursKeep It Clean! Hurricane Agnes left her devastating mark at Wilkes in the June flood of 1972. In a plan called "Operation Snapback,"' however, the college soon reswned near normal functions. "Operation Snapback" consisted of two phases: the first entailed the removal of mud and debris, and any emergency repairs. The second was the reconstruction work of the physical buildings. In an interview with Charles R. Abate, he was asked about the difference between actual reconstruction and upgrading of the baj_ldings. "As far as upgrading is concerned," replied Abate, "that comes from college funds. The flood recovery work was funded by the government." Actual flood recovery work, Abate noted as being completed with the exception of the library, and odds and ends here and there. The good that was brought about by the flood, Abate saw as "grand cooperative movement of everyone helping the whole valley get back on its feet." Thanks to the dedication of both young and old, the valley came back and an even bigger thank-you to the hard work and " mucking" that was done, Wilkes, also, came back into full swing. 1 Student Says Dr. Reif Paragon of a Moral Ma To the Editor: At the risk of renewing a smoldering controversy which is perhaps ignored, I would like to make a comment regarding Dr. Charles recent letter to the editor (whose content I need not recapitulate), unfortunate aftermath.

Philip Gasba Awarded Win Union Building Becomes a Reality With the opening of the new student union building this week, we think it only appropriate to remind students of their responsibility in it. The building, one which Wilkes students have waited for what seems like eternity, is only what you make of it. We think it is your responsibility to assist in keeping the area clean and damage-free. The Student Union Building, which will house activities for the student during his leisure time, is the culmination of some hard work on the part of Student Government and on the behalf of the admnistration. We believe now that Wilkes College has finally come up with an activity hall that the students should live up to their part and maintain it. The following is a message from Student Government President, Pete Jadelis, concerning the development new Student Union building: This story should have been written 3 to 5 years ago; however, a student union was not a realization asilis Such prominent student leaders as Mike Barski and Howie Tune, two recent Presidents of Student Gov have been directly involved in the evolution of this student union.

The Spirit Of '74 Thousands of families relocate every day, but relatively few are aware of the pitfalls of moving from one home to another. Specialists in this area, the National Home Settlers, Inc., 30 East 42nd Street, New York, offer this constructive advice. A lease is a contract, and unless there is a transfer clause in the lease, or the landlord gives a written release to the tenant upon notice of his intent to move, the tenant will continue to be responsible for payment of rent until such time as the abode is re-rented. Transferees should not get involved in packing household goods if arrangements have been made to have the carrier do the packing. Insurance problems may result. If buying a new home, the buyer should investigate the National Association of Homebuilders ten \ year warranty against defects in : residential construction. The cost is modest. If seeking a mortgage, check with your employer for assistance in securing of financing, especially if the move is to one of the metropolitan areas.

Feminine Facts One out of every 50 men and women age 35 and over are using their leisure time to keep up with new developments in their field or to obtain the educational and technical skills necessary to change to a different line of work. These 1.5 million adults include: 780,000 enrolled in college; 570,000 attending a trade or vocational school; and the remainder were enrolled in elementary or secondary school. More than half are women, taking college courses to obtain a degree before' re-€ntering the labor market. Eight out of 10 male college students attend school part time, according to Herbert Bienstock, the U.S. Department of Labor's assistant regional director for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of this number 98 per cent were in the labor force - a rate comparable to that for all men age 35 to 44, the middle age group in the survey. The overwhelming majority of women age 35 and over in college, Mr. Bienstock noted, were going to school part time. Nearly 3 out of 4 of these part-time students work or are seeking work, a proportion much higher than for women in the same age group who were not in school. Mr. Bienstock suggested that the outlook for adult education between now and the year 2000 can be expected to be in a more favorable configuration than any time in this century.

G · l'AI uest "v1VEP- TV Editorial 1::~,1or.'S D'r•nk·ng A g e At "'8 ru l ,, VI , ,, by Dr. Harry K. Miller, President, Keystone Junior College All my life I have abstained from the use of alcoholic beverages for I have believed their misuse has destroyed many lives and has been a serious menace to society. And all my life I have tried to be a reasonable man. Reason tells me that the legal age for drinking should now be lowered from 21 years to 18. _ If our young people must drink, let us try to make sure that they do so under optimum conditions. Now the teenager who wants to drink must either violate Pennsylvania law or go into a neighboring state where 18-year-olds may drink legally. A great many of them choose the later course, taking to the highway for the return trip with too much alcohol in their systems. The peril is obvious. I will continue personally to advise both young people and adults to avoid the use of alcoholic beverages. Nevertheless, I am convinced that lowering the drinking age would tend to keep our teenagers closer to honl'.e, and it would keep their drinking out in the open. Let's reduce the sneaking, the cheating, the blatant violation of the law - violation which conditions our new adult citizens to cheat in other ways. We have legalized the age of 18 for the vote, the making of contracts, the paying of taxes, and other adult privileges, yet we continue the hypocritical 21-year age limit on consumption of alcohol. Studies have shown that more than 90 per cent of the college students who drink began before entering college -most of them in their own homes. Why continue to pretend that a 21-year law prevents their drinking? Let's legalize an iescapable reality and be done with it. �THE BEACON Page 4 Wilkes Comeback ·A.

Chakmakas came to Wilkes from Syracuse University and had year here at Wilkes before being eligible to wrestle. But as of last year, his first full year of eligibility, he started building the way for a successful wrestling career going 7-1-1 before sustaining an injury which kept him from wrestling at full strength. His lifetime log at Wilkes adds up to 15-2-2. This year is a different story as he has the experience and health. He has dominated his opponents with the exception of the Navy wrestler this season. The 1973-1974 squ~d is currently ranked sixth in the east and stands on a 6-4 team record. According to Chakmakas, North Dakota State and Montclair State will be the toughest concerns of the Colonels on their remaining regular schedule. Recently John went to the finals of his 134 weight class in the Wilkes Open after wrestling superbly but lost in overtime. He sees no reason why this years squad shouldn't capture the MAC TEAM championship for the thirteenth time in seventeen years.

Another Clarion grappler, Tom Turnbull, was presented with the Harold Rosenberg Award, which goes to the outstanding freshman in the Open. An enormous surprise for the Wilkes wrestling fans was the performances of senior John Chakmakas and junior Gene Ashley. Both grapplers reached the finals, but failed in their quest for individual titles as Chakmakas lost an overtime decision to Mark Belknap of William and Mary in the 134-pound title bout, 3-1, while Ashley succumbed to Neil Duncan of the New York Athletic 8-1, in the 158-pound final.

(Continued on Page 5) One Million Set As Goal For Campaign �Page 2 THE BEACON Editorially Speaking Responsibility Is Needed It is that time of the year when the Housing Office is busily preparing for the appointments of the new Resident Assistants ( R.A.). Qualifications for this very integral part to resident life here on the Wilkes campus are out I ined in the application for the perspective Resident Assistants and reads as follows : A. Single marital status; B. Good academic standing; C. Qualities which enhance successful interp~rsonal relationships ; and D . A proven desire to improve residence life. More importantly, however, the job is one that has to be taken seriously and much time and effort directed to it. It's not just a changing of a lightbulb or the calling of maintenance to fix a leaky radiator, but rather a duty to be there for someone to talk to or bring a problem to however small. There are too many people that regard the job as a joy-ride and neglect certain duties as showing up at meetings or spending more time in another dorm than their own. This is a job that requires patience, fairness, strength, compassion, and a helping hand ,when needed . An R.A.'s job is to work with the students to better a.cclimate them to resident life at Wilkes. This taken an involvement on the part of that · R.A. and a lot of personal time to help carry this out effectively. For those applying for the position of Resident Assistant, a note of caution is advised. Sit down and th ink of the seriousness of the job and the r esponsibility involved with it, then truthfully ask yourself, are you willing to give the time and effor t that has to be given to the job in order to sec ur e its effect i v eness to the fu II capac ity . WRI1~E ON HQ LL EN BA C K RE Q U ESTS SEC U RI TY Hollenback Hall was hit by a fire over Christmas vacation. One of the girl's rooms on the third floor was evidently broken into by a reported prowler. It is strongly suspected that someone climbed up the unenclosed fire escape which is still under construction. Because of the lack of uncompleted security measures, access to the second and third floor windows were and still are easily obtained. The person entered into the room by breaking a pane of glass above the lock. Although the security screen was present on the lower portion of the window it did not provide any protection for the lock. . The prowler evidently was living m the dorm for a few days unnoticed by any of our security guards. It was later reported by a neighbor that lights had been seen throughout the dorm previous to the fire. Investigators claim that the fire had been started by a lighted cigarette left ?n th~ bed. Unfortunately, security did not discover the smoldering room until the next morning. It is believed by the fire department that the fire started around midnight, Thursday, January 3rd. A security man reported the fire January 4th at 10 a.m. Since the dormitories are vacant over vacations, we feel it is not too much to ask that security be tightened at these times, Perhaps if this had been the case, the fire could have been detected shortly after it had begun. We feel that there is no excuse that a fire should be allowed to go unnoticed in a girls' dormitory for 10 hours. As can be expected there was a great deal of fire and smoke damage ~one to the third floor . Although the fire was contained in one room smoke did penetrate throughout th~ third floor. The girls on that floor had great amounts of personal damages and loss ranging over a thousand dollars. We feel that the administration is treating this situation too lightly. No move has been made on the part of the college, to help these girls in any way. The college has informed us that they can't insure personal belongings of its students; however, we feel that this incident would not have occurred if security had been better, Therefore, we feel that the school should be held responsible. Three weeks have now gone by and aside from the initial phone call reporting the fire, the girls involved have not been approached in any way by the administration, We feel that even a mere letter of concern sent by the school to these girls or their parents who now face the financial burden of replacing lost articles, would be the least they could have done. Again we must stress the problem of security and the need for improvement. Nwnerous letters have been written by our concerned parents regarding this matter. Obviously, any improvements that may have been made have not proven effective . One of the purposes of this letter is to call to the attention of all students that the need for action will have to be up to us. Our tuition is high enough and our lives are important enough to make this one of our major interests at this moment! The " Wilkes College Family" evidently does not have the unity and concern for its students as proposed by the administration. We feel that the handling of this situation was not only inadequate but in poor taste. We have been told that we are overreacting to this situation. However, we believe that prowlers, fire and our safety constitute a legitimate reason for concern. We apologize if this letter sounds a bit bitter or out of line, but under the circwnstances, how would you react? Girls from Hollenback Hall Student Raps Professor's Misjudgment Dear Sir, A recent personal occurance has prompted me to write this letter expressing not contempt, but rather hope. ~ letter demonstrating, at least m my eyes, an injustice inflicted upon myself as a student by the judgment of an instructor. The judgment in question concerns the grading of a final exam taken this past semester. The grade received for that final was a reflection of both the content of the final and the placement, or more correctly in this case the misplacement of my p~rsonal outline of thoughts for that essay. My instructor informed me that the content of my exam was, in his eyes, worthy of a grade of " B." However, because I had written my outline on page 1 - labeled NOTES - rather than page 2 - labeled my final exam grade a grade of "C," which a direct relation grade, bringing it too Requests for the ins my outline and its nature to my essay the important thing longer the inclusion information or of logi its very existence, bm "location" of the outlw. upon the grade, after that an outline did · contend might well stubborness resulting solution.

Nutrition Campaign Set Job Titles Watch your job titles, there! We're going to have to make some changes in our vocabulary to eliminate sex discrimination in employment. The U.S. Census Bureau has revised 52 of the 441 job titles in its Occupational Classification System. In most cases the suffix "man" has been replaced with "worke1·" or "operator." Such titles as laundress or stewardess are changed to launderer an d flight attendant. Some of the other changes are: . . clergymen to clergy .. credit men to credit and collect ion managers .. salesmen to salesworkers .. office boys to office helpers .. pressmen to pri nting pr ess operators .. seamstresses to dressmakers .. fishermen and oystermen to fish ers, hunters, and trappers . . chambermaids and maids to lodging quarters cleaners .. maids (in private homes) to private household cleaners . . firemen to fire fighters . . policemen to police .. railroad switchmen to railroad switch operators .. busboys to waiters' assistants Growth Seen By U.S. Bank A national media campaign has been launched to improve the nutrition and diets of Americans, which many health authorities have found to be faulty.

Press . r-----------------------~ I I I I I I Despite growing shortages of energy and industrial raw materials, I a Bank of America economic study I just released foresees moderate real growth in the U.S. economy in 1974 and no recession. Bank of America's forecast, "Focus on the U.S. Economy: 1974," hinges on two basic assumptions. The first, Middle East oil productionand exports will return to preconflict levels in the first quarter of 1974. Should this not occur, the report says, then the possibility of a domestic recession would increase. The second assumption is that government programs to allocate available supplies of petroleum products will favor agriculture and industry. "Given those conditions, Gross National Product in current prices should advance in 1974 by somewhat more than $100 billion or 8 per cent," the B of A study says. "About three-fourths of the gain will be due to inflation, and about one-fourth will be a real increase in goods and services. " Energy shortages, the report points out, will nontheless cause " inconveniences and some economic dislocation." Inflation, too, the bank says, will continue as an " overriding economic concern in the .

Colonelettes Open Their Season T~night; Tracy Questionable The Wilkes College women's basketball team will open its 1974 season this evening, when they entertain Baptist Bible College at 6: 30 p.m. in the Franklin Street gymnasium. The girls have been going through daily workouts in preparation for their opener, and all indications point to a prosperous season. They have looked well in workouts, and seem to be in good shape physically. One of Coach Sandy Bloomberg's girls that has really come on in pre-season scrimmages has been sophomore, Barbara Long. BArbara has given the Colonelettes the spark needed to make their offense click, and has been especially impressive in leading the fast break. Two freshman that possibly might break into the starting lineup against Baptist Bible are Sharon Wilkes and Dottie Martin. Wilkes, a Nanticoke Area High School alumnus, and Martin, a graduate of Wyoming Area, have performed well in early workouts. With basically a freshman and sophomore oriented team, Miss Bloomberg is counting on veteran senior, Debbey Wysocki to keep the Colonelettes together until they can acquire a little more experience. How well they adapt under pressure could very well tell the story of their entire season. Sophomore guard, Anne Tracy, ATTENTION JUNIORS!!!

John Carroll University, Ohio Two wrestlers, who once performed on the same team as a senior and freshman respectively were jointly honored as the Wilkes College "Wrestlers of the Second Decade" in ceremonies last Saturday evening at the Franklin St. gymnasiwn. Acknowledged prior to the start of the Wilkes-Oswego State dual meet were John Carr and Joe Wiendl, two legends among Wilkes fandom. Also drawing plaudits were all Blue and Gold mat alumni, who returned for "Old Timer's Night." The pair of All-Americans, who represent the 1963-72 era, now join Marv Antinnes, the first decade selectee, as sole recipients of the college's highest grappling honor. Carr, successful mat mentor at Hanover Area High School, won PIAA championship laurels while a student at Hanover Township High School. Later matriculating to the University of Pittsburgh, he log and went on to capture the Middle Atlantic Conference and NCAA College Division 167-point crowns. The Hawkeye alumnus was even sharper in his final year, producing a 9-0 log, and duplicating his previous MAC and NCAA efforts. Carr later added the crown jewel to his career by placing third in the NCAA University event. Carr concluded his brief but explosive Colonel stint with a perfect 15-0 dual record in which he posted eight pins and seven decisions. Probably the finest all around athlete in Wilkes history was Joe Wiendl, who reached his forte as a grappler, placing in four NCAA College Division tournaments. Wiendl, who hailed from Westfield, N. J., was a two-time NCAA CD champion (1968,69) and earned a fifth spot at the NCAA University confab at Penn State in 1969. His 49-1 dual record was second John Carr transferred to Wilkes as a sophomore in 1963. After sitting out a year of ineligibility, Carr took to the Colonel mats in the mid part of the 1964-65 campaign and proceeded to destroy all opposition.

I ■ ■ ■ Jim DeSombre DeSombre moved in at the 167 pound weight class. His first opportunity came against the Pacific University, and Jim responded with a fall. Wilkes traveled to Delaware Valley College a few nights later, and DeSombre was matched against last year's Middle Atll.>ntic Conference champion at 177 pounds, Fran Campbell. Not many people would have given two cents for Jimmy's chances against Campbell, but the Material Hidden in the realm of obscurity for three and a half years, Wilkes wrestler Jimmy DeSombre has finally stepped into the grappling limelight that had once deserted him. As a scholastic mat standout for Wyoming Valley West, Jimmy reached the district finals as a senior and was one victory away from finishing his high school career as a champion. The only man in his way was Hanover High School's Paul Martinez. As fate would have it, DeSombre lost to Martinez, and then matriculated to Wilkes, upon graduation, while Martinez accepted an offer from NYU, but eventually came to the Colonel campus after the New York institution disbanded its wrestling program. In the few years that followed, neither DeSombre nor Martinez saw much varsity action what with the Colonels overstocked in the middle weight categories. DeSombre wouldn't say die though, and day after day came to practice sessions and worked hard at perfecting his athletic ability. A few weeks ago, with upperweight grapplers Bob Yanku and Jeff Jim DeSombre McDonald out for an indefinite period of time with injuries, Jimmy Engineering major proved everyone got his chance.

DeSombre couldn't say enough about Wilkes' successful wrestling program. He reiterated the fact that the Colonels have one of the toughest schedules in the entire country, and was very explicit on his feelings about Coach Reese. "Coach Reese is an excellent wrestling coach, and does a great job with the team," DeSombre said. "He attracts some of the best wrestling material available." After graduation, Jim hopes to get a job in the field of material engineering, and recently had an interview with Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Nicknamed "Supersub" by his teammates, DeSombre likes to do a little carpentry in his spare time and surprisingly doesn't do any weightlifting. Coach Reese is still in awe over the performance of his new found mat hero. "Jimmy has been out for four years, saw little action, wrestling in a tough weight class. But he stuck with it and it has paid off. What he did against Campbell in the Del Val meet was unbelievable.'' Whether or not Jim will ever be called on again to get the job done, we can't really say. But one thing is for sure; the limelight that deserted him four years ago, has shone on his shoulders once again, and this time DeSombre responded with victory.

We can remember only four short years ago when this group was one of the mainstays putting down student revolutions across America. When the violence started at Kent State, a group of "middle class workers," bonded together "to stop this nonsense." The students were wrong in their protests against the Vietnam war ; according to this contingent. At the time, every American thought the 11 hardhats" were sincere in their cry to stop the revolutions. But now, only a short time later, this same group that. stopped disturbances four years ago, has developed one ~f their own. Oh, of course, they can justify it saying, "It is our livelihood that is being taken away from us; we must fight." This group fails to see that they are doing the same thing they were against four years ago. When the four students were murdered on the Kent State campus, everyone was appalled that human lives would be taken over a demonstration. However, only last week, one truck driver was killed wh-en a rock was dropped on his winds_ h ield from an overpass on a highway. Certainly, the pa~allels are there. Don't get us wrong, we don't believe in revolutions and bloodshed to prove a point; th is is not the reason for this writing. We are only trying to point out the rotten irony that occurred between these two mentioned situations. What it comes right down to, is the truck drivers and the rest of the hardhats are saying, 11 Don't you revolutionize, don't you bicker, don't you demonstrate, but ·I will if I have a point to prove." The only fitting thing that would top this whole situation would be a group of students calling themselves the "long haired, hippy freaks," bonding together and ;,stop this nonsense."

Over two hundred fans watched in amazement as Tracy dribbled around and through the Susquehanna defenders on her way to racking up an incredible tally of ten assists in addition to six points. Freshman Dottie Martin was the leading scorer for Coach Sandy Bloomberg's Colonelettes, totaling 13 points. Other big pointgetters for the lady cagers were Sharon Wilkes and Diane Jones with 12 and seven each. Spearheading the Susquehanna offensive barrage was Debbie Britton, who knocked home eighteen counters. Wilkes wasted little time early in ·the contest, jumping out to an 11-2 lead with four minutes left in the first quarter. But the visitors defense stiffened, and with the help of some fine outside shooting, they chopped the margin to five by the end of the ,period.

The calculated amount for the students with the the present year stands at about $330,000 for Wilkes students who borrow under the program. Raspen hopes to operate on the same level next year even though more institutions are including NDSL in their respective aid packages, and consequently applying for a share of the available federal dollars. Also under the Federal Program is the supplementary EOG, which - carries roughly $180,000 in its funding. This projected total may operate on the approximate amount for the 74-75 academic year. "The Work Study Program is_one of the federal administration's b_e tter liked programs," Raspen acknowledged. "It was given favorable attention by President Nixon, who would like to eliminate the NDSL and EOG as college based programs, and replace them with the Basic Grant and Insured Loan Programs." Generally, Wilkes students have had little trouble in getting state loans; the banks are very willing to make them. They assist parents in meeting their contribution for tuition expenses. But state loans, though easier to receive, have a seven per cent interest tag, whereas the NSDL requires only .three per cent per year, beginning in both programs, about a year after a graduation or withdrawal. Students who live in Pennsylvania may even be eligible for more money from the state government. '' Proposals are now being discussed to increase the Pennsylvania State Higher Education Grant as much as $2,000," asserted the director. "If either one happens, more money• to the students, and if both happens, it will even be better in that some students disqualified from the present program may be ew Progrf!"!!'

This meani, that the graduate will have been exposed to such diverse and valuable subjects as international trade, world geography, comparative economic systems, the history of the United States foreign policy, the history of modern Russia, and the history of Latin America. Also included in the program are: International law, comparative government, international organization, peoples and cultures of the world, the sociology of minorities and other similar fields. One of the merits of the program is that it can be organized and administered without afly change in existing departmental structure. In other words, we will merely have a better and more coordinated use of our present staff and present course offerings. Another attractive feature in this program is an inter-departmental seminar in both the seventh and eighth semester. The purpose is to bring together the students and the faculty from each of the four departments, arid to serve as a culmination for the program. In the future, a semester or two of study abroad may be adapted into the program. The degree program is a balanced one in a sense that each of the four departments participates to an equal degree. This represents the kind of cooperative inter-departmental program that the college has long been advocating. It is also believed that this program will attra ct additional students to Wilkes. George Elliot, a member of the economics department and a pioneer in the development of the International Studies Program, considers it to be quite an attractive and beneficiai undergraduate program that offers numerous opportunities in many fields.

In concluding his outlook in the financial aid field, Raspen noted, "Next year is probably one of the more optimistic years for financial aid as far as availability of aid funds. "We will still operate with the Need Analysis System ( determines the family's financial need) but also taking in consideration the effects of inflation (rising fuel and living e~penses) on the average family. We realize they may not be able to meet their expected contribution · toward the educational expenses. When this occurs, however, the student and family may rely on the State Loan Program, which can provide enough money for the parental contribution.''

About A Few Million Tons Of American Wheat In One Man's Opinion by Rich Colandrea An Encouraging Site The advent of the new Student Union Center not only displays a relaxing and attractive atmosphere to dorm and commuter students, but is a positive sign of hard work and effort to add to the facilities of Wilkes College. , A Student Center has been needed for a long time on this campus, and finally this year it has opened. Through Student Government funds and volunteers, the once dry, hollow lecture hall is now a carpeted, furnished and acoustical room: Now the students have a place to meet, study, socialize and hopefully listen to stereo music instead of the cramped Commons. Everyone involved with the opening of the building should be commended as many hours of hard work and aggravation were used to complete th~ building. It is hopeful that the students will utilize this building and form new ideas to improve the center. This center symbolizes hours of dedicated effort to improve campus life. It only shows that if enough are willing and able to put a new idea into effect, eventually it will be done. More ideas along these lines ar~ suitable for this campus. A Discouraging Site ..._ ..!~J~. - If you've been down to the public square in Wilkes-Barre lately, you've probably noticed many open spaces. These spaces obviously exist because construction companies have spent many hours tearing them down. The whole process makes for an unpleasant site as it is hazardess to pedestrians and also raises dust and debris. How long will it take to - .- . eliminate the buildings on the square and construct new stores? It is necessary to crumble the condemned sites but how much effort and money will it take for this redevelopment? Will it be worth it? Perhaps, in the end, the people of Wilkes-Barre will be presented with a modern complex of buildings that are much more attractive and structured than present buildings. It is an inconvenience now but it will be a blessing in the end.

A majority of this group is convinced they could be doing something much more productive. "After you've watched for a few hours you've really got nothing to show for it. I'd say it's a pure waste of time," snorted Eleanor Maas, a 15-year-old from Decatur, Ga. Most teens pointed out that they usually sat down to watch a program for an hour or so and found themselves transfixed for a much longer period of time. "It's really terrible. You end up watching such silly things. You promise yourself 'never again and you're back watching the very next day," exasperated 16-year-old Claire Patrick of Olympia, Wash. 41 per cent thought that the fact that the set is "always on" in their homes is the main contributor to their addiction. These teens explained that they are lured into watching what other members of their family are viewing and find themselves caught up in a whirlpool beyond their control. 32 per cent pointed out that they have to do their homework in rooms occupied by parents, brothers and sisters. Most of the time the TV set is on and they are forced to yield to temptation. A significant number said they watch because they feel that they are missing something. �THE BEACON Page 4 MEN ,J.lVotes From Dikaia Female Studies Course Needed In addition to the two on-going feminist courses at Wilkes, there are countless other ways Women's Studies can be worked into the present system and even the present cirriculum. The seminar number 397 exists in every department and can be used for experimentation in this or any other field. But there is a need for protection of sorts, and just as the seminar number can be thrown in at any time, it is also easy to dump it at the whim of a department head. It is for this reason that it is absolutely necessary to get out courses permanently into the college curriculum and printed in the bulletin. One way to insure Woman's Studies or any other study on a regular basis, is to establish an independent branch or department in the school, perhaps under the auspices of the evening school division. Courses could be listed according to subject matter and would not be under the jurisdiction of any particular department chairperson, but would come under an independent chairperson. This is the way it seems to be heading now at Wilkes College. Another way to offer our study is to work within the present system, establishing courses within each department where women's studies is applicable. It is understandable that departments such as Mathematics and Engineering are not suitable for such a study, but others, such as Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, Economics, Education, English and Comparative Literature, Foreign Languages, Philosophy, Biology, History, Art, Theater and doubtless some others, could include and should include courses in women's studies. This is not to say that each department should have a token course in women's studies. There are enormous possibilities for countless courses in each department mentioned. We don't want tobe appeased with a few candy-assed courses aimed at quieting down "those crazy women's libbers." Ideally this program to promote women's studies should culminate in a degree-granting program in women's studies, with the student who wishes to major in it experiencing all aspects that could come under many different topics and so-called "departments," without answering to the present department heads, but to an independent faculty or department dedicated and trained in this field. This is even feasible using the present faculty. Certain qualified and interested teachers could form a separate department while also remaining in their respective field. They could form a curriculum combining all fields that apply to women's studies, be it literature, biology or whatever. Since the school is acutely concerned about the drop in enrollment, these teachers would be put to good use in a double function. While fulfilling their obligations to their own departments, they would also provide a service by widening the academic horizons at Wilkes College. They would furtJ:!er the aims of the liberal arts education, and satisfy the goals of many students who feel stifled in the present system, especially women who feel their education has been one-sided. I have often heard people say that women's studies is not valid in its own right, but should be included in the rest of the curriculum. This is fine if there are perfectly fair and open-minded people making the decisions about curriculum. But we have already seen here at Wilkes that this is not the case, even with those who profess to be of feminist persuasion. We must have our own department and I maintain that it can be done within the present system. Ideally we should revamp the whole program and get some new blood in the school, but presently we can draw from the numerous competent and interested people already here. The most important thing, however, is the student demand for such a program. We have already proven what we are capable of doing, but it can't end here. We have a foot in the door but we want to see the door opened wide. Our next goal must be to get our present courses.

The songs were written and sung by a young woman from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I was unprepared for what I heard - a voice which could convey any emotion effortlessly - and I left my friend in search of the album. Six years'and five releases later, I'm still awed by Joni Mitchell. She has progressed steadily from her status where she's never been before, anct as one of the female folksingers of sne makes it work. the sixties to the most daring and The second major change is in her crea_tive singer-songwriter in pop lyrical content, in her understanding music. She uses her gifts wisely and of herself. Her precise knowledge of honestly. I assume she knows her words is consistent but she can limitations, too, though I'm inclined laugh at herself no~.

Our hammers, our rams, Earless and eyeless, Perfectly voiceless, Widen the crannies, Shoulder through holes. Mitchell fans will always have their personal favorites, of course, but we must recognize the positive changes that come with Court and Spark. First of all, there is a much heavier use of back-up musicians, notably some help from Jos e Feliciano and Robbie Robertson of The Band. There are strings, electric guitars, saxophones, and some solid percussion (John Guerin from the latest Byrds tour). The employment of these additions should not be interpreted as flash. She has taken command of these instruments just as she controls her own voice - -to attain perfection in expression. This is most evident on the cut "Car on a Hill." " ... Fast tires come screaming around the bend ... And I'm waiting for his car on the hill ... Climbing Climbing Climbing the hill ... " The guitar and soprano saxophone are screeching the tires, and Joni on piano is shifting gears. This is musical experimentation at its finest, for she is treading on ground Literary Herstory - Voices From The Past · I'm rough but I'm pleasin' I was raised on robbery ... " The introspective lyric is stiii there, as in "Just Like This Train:" "I used to count lovers like railroad cars I counted them on my side Lately I don't count on nothing I just let things slide ... and she concludes, " ... This jealous lovin 's bound to make me Crazy I can't find my goodness I lost my heart Oh sour grapes Because I lost my heart" The overall result is a recording of blatant honesty using · the finest synthesis of musicianship and lyric. Now multiply all that goodness by ten and you can have some idea of Joni Mitchell in concert. The opening act, and also her back-up band, Tom Scott and the L.A. Express did some fine jazz interpretations, brought Joni on and it was love all the way. Everything she does with her voice on record she can do twice as well in concert. It's jazzy, improvisational, free and easy. She goes from her lowest to highest notes in a split second. The phrasing is keen and expressive, the words are clear.

To apply for a Basic Grant for use during the 1973-74 academic year, an "Application for Determination of Expected Family Contribution" must be obtained, filled out, and mailed to P.O. Box B, Iowa City, Iowa 52240. Within a month the student is notified of the amount of his family's expected contribution. A~plication forms may be obtamed from the student financial aid officer at the student's school or from Box 84, Washington D.C. 20044.

With a conference record of 5-3, Coach Roger Bearde's boys have two MAC contests remaining. On Tuesday, they travel up the highway to take on the University of Scranton Royals, and finish their conference schedule with Elizabethtown at home on Thursday evening. · Ironically, Scranton and ~lizabethtown are the only other teams besides Wilkes who have any kind of shot at the two remaining playoff berths. Albright and Lycoming have already clinched spots. So the Blue and Gold can make their own breaks so to speak, with a pair of important victories. At the time of this writing, Scranton had a conference record of 3-4, but played Upsala at home last night, and has remaining tilts with Elizabethtown away, on Saturday, and then finish with the Colonels at the John Long Center oh Tuesday night. ~lizabethtown, on the other hand, is 4-2 in conference competition, but played Juniata on their own hardwoods yesterday. Other crucial games left on the E-town schedule are the Scranton contest on Saturday, the encounter with Wilkes next Thursday, and a season finale against Upsala on February 23. Upsala has been eliminated from any hope of reaching the playoffs, · but is very tough on their home floor, and should give Elizabethtown a real battle. Wagner College has an outside opportunity to move into the playoffs, but played Philadelphia Textile Tuesday night, and takes on Delaware Valley Saturday. A loss in either of these frays, will kill their hopes. Summarizing the Wilkesmen's job in the ne-xt seven days, it looks like this. They can afford to lose one of their two remaining games, and still sneak in if the breaks go their Wl.¼Y, but a double victory would automatically put them on the playoff road. Scranton cannot afford to lose anymore of their remaining contests, because it would give them five conference losses, and that Z_/ ~LK,t · ;45 . · UP FRON'I: - (;Iarence Ozgo (left), Greg Buzinski (center), and Jack Brabant (right) ma~e up~ College cagers talented forward wall.

Solzhenitsyn Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are two rights which we as Americans have enjoyed for almost two hundred years. At times we may not have used them to their full extent, but they have been our legal rights. Early American patriots saw to that when they added the first amendment to the Constitution in 1791 . 1D-C Described As Anemi By Advisor Steve Plack.o Steve Placko, advisor to InterDormitory Council, recently described the group as "anemic. " The remark referred to a recurrent lack of motivati6n among IDC representatives. One example occurred a week earlier when IDC representatives were requested to find out if their dorms were interested in a skit night. About eight women's dorms indicated an interest. Those eight representatives were the only ones who even asked. Also it was a men's dorm that won the contest last semester. Placko requested that future IDC meetings be held bi-monthly. A contest to name the mural in the Pickering Hall lobby is being conducted by me. The contest· ends tomorrow. Place your name choice and student number on an index card and place the card in the ballot box. The me visitation committee meets today at 11 in the lobby of Pickering Hall. Results of the visitation survey are tabulated and should be available next week. Applications for concession stands for use during the Cherry Blossom Festival May 3-5 are available. Those obtaining stands from Calmar will receive them on a first come first served basis. An arts and crafts display at the Stark Learning Center will be held during the festival weekend. Also planned is a flea market featuring handmade and homemade articles. Those interested in participating are asked to contact IDC representative Tom Trost soon.

Those not wishing to eal products may have a diffend prepared whenever only products are served as main in the college cafeteria. Unfortunately the same can not be said for many people in this world since there are numerous governments which deny their citizens these freedoms. The government of the Soviet Union is one of these. The Soviet government has repeatedly taken action against those who exercise their minds freely and produce literary Vl(Orks which the government considers to be subversive. These "subversive" works can be anything from poetry which does not follow party line to a novel which openly condemns the Soviet system. The Soviet government recently acted against one man who da~ed to exercise freedom of speech. Alexander, Solzhenitsyn is a Russian who is proud to be a Russian. He makes no secret of the fact that he is opposed to the tyrannical suppression of freedom in the Soviet Union. He has written several works condemning the Soviet prison camps, the most recent of which is THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO--1918-56 .. Alexander Solzhenitsyn loves his homeland and he did not want to leave it. He wanted to stay and work on the conscience of his people and so perhaps act as a stimulus for change. The Soviet government does not like to be criticized and it acted to silence him many times. He spent time in prison because of his works and the authorities still could not silence him. Public opinion was strong in favor of Solzhenitsyn so the Soviet authorities could not permanently silence him. ' Last week they found a solution for their problem. They stripped Alexander Solzhenitsyn of his Soviet citizenship and permanently exiled him. He can never return to his homeland. In this way the Soviet government perhaps wishes to break his spirit and silence him. He can no longer legally be considered a Russian and so the Soviet government hopes to discredit him. How can a non-Russian possibly write about political truths within the Soviet Union?

Highlight of the evening will be the crowning of the Sorority Queen. Last year's queen, Jovanna Gatti, will crown her successor. Members of the committee are, left fo right, first row - Jovanna Gatti, Scranton; Lois Krokos, Wilk Janet Levitsky, Forty Fort; Mariellen Scott, Sheatown. Second row - Janet Bartuski, West Wyomlng; Stanioi-ski, Upper Askam; Karolina Hahn, Kingston; Ann Dysleski, Wilkes-Barre; and Paulette Wilkes-Barre. The actions of the Soviet government are unfair - and tyrannical, an open denial of human rights. Those of us who believe in and love freedom should be resolute in our condemnation of these actions and must work to use our own government's influences to try and lessen the oppression which afflicts the citizens of many nations. In this period of detente, our gqvernment should try to use its influence to gain more freedom for others.

As of this printing, thirty-five states have ratified it and only five more are needed to complete the process. Of the states that have voted against ERA, the reasons for rejection were completely ~believeable. In Oklahoma, it was stated that the purpose of women's existence was to ease the suffering of men. Other similar religious ~nd biblical references were made. Needless to say, Oklahoma voted against ERA. In Georgia quite recently, the legislature discussed the dangers of ERA and linked woman's power to Eve tempting Adam with the apple. Georgia too voted against ERA. . T~is is no joke, it_is really happening and there is a strong possibility that 1! will happen here in Pennsylvania. There are national groups organized to fight ERA, groups headed by .women such as Phxllis Schlafly who heads S~OP ERA, and HO'I'.DOG (Humanitarians Opposed to Degrading Our Girls). These groups, in a~dition to many right wing extremist groups, such as The John Birch Society, the KKK, and the Communist Party on the Left, are systematically spending a fortune to defeat this important legislation. The central idea in the ERA is that " ... equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." The amendment concerns both sexes as stated in the pro_Posed dr~ft and this is what scares Schlafly and her followers ... They cla!1:1·_fallac10usly that men and women will have to share public toilet facilities, that mothers with babes in arms will be wisked off to war and that women will lose their right to support from their husbands. First ~fall it is absolutely stupid, yes, I must say stupid, to believe the lies about los~ of privacy and the sharing of the public rest rooms. The right to privacy in the home and elsewhere is provided for in the law. Secondly, while it is true that women will be eligible for the draft (which no longer is in effect), it is also true that women were always eligible, and towards the end of World War II, Congress passed legislation to draft wotnen but Truman didn't sign it because the end of war was eminent. But as fo; the emotion ridden claim of mothers being taken from their children this is ridiculous because just as there were exemptions for fathers, so w~uld there be for mothers. At any rate, the question is academic since there is no draft anyway. There are other charges too, equally false, from the virtual legalization o~ rape to the nullifi~ation of the other civil rights laws. Mrs. Schlafly also did ~e Arme~ S:rv1ces a great disservice recently, using her usual scare tactics, by claiming that women aboard the ships and in the service of their co1;1ntry were attempting to seduce the husbands of the women left at home. It 1s really unfortunate to see a woman perpetuate the false myths about women that have plagued us for centuries. Schlafly is degrading the women she claims she is protecting. On the whole, the arguments used by the Schlaflys, who are uncomfortably closely tied, in ideology and financial arrangements t? th~ John Birch So~iety; are false, deliberately misleading and often contain misquoted material. This "war" that is being waged is a crude attempt to ~eep rich white women, like Mrs. Schlafly, up on their pedestals and the rest of womankind under the thumbs of the legislators husbands, and over zealous women, like Schlafly herself. ' There are some facts that Pennsylvanians should now consider before al~owing the legislators to be swayed by the war tactics of the Schlaflys of this ~orld. The J<;RA will not interfere in any way whatsoever with private manta! arrangements. It is true there would be reciprocal rights of support between husbands and wives in divorce cases etc. But Pennsylvania is one of the states that has already passed such laws and already has reciprgcal rights of support. , ' ERA will however, recognize the homemaker's status and value as housekeeper, child-raiser, chauffeur, etc, and will require state laws to do the ~me. This ~ill entitle a homemaker to financial support because of her sery1ces, and will strengthen the dignity of the homemaker. The list of false · claims by Schlafly•as opposed to the truth, is endless. What is impor.tant is that women and men must prevent in Pennsylvania what happened in Oklaho1:1a and Georgia. We must begin to encourage our State Legislature to vote in ERA.

A majority of the Wilkes faculty qiembers attended, along with several student observers. After the buzzing, typical of a normal classroom, had settled and opening statements had been made by Dr. Mike and Dean Capin, the items on the agenda were discussed. The second item concerned the acceptance into the cirriculum of a new course in the foreign language department. The course is French 261-Feminine Perspectives in French Literature. Dr. Riley, head of the curriculum committee, led the proceedings concerning its approval. Before a vote was taken, there were questions concerning its classification as a French course since all reading material is in English. Several reasons were given as to why the course should be listed under the French heading yet to be conducted in English. Very little emphasis has been given in courses at Wilkes to the writings of women , to their treatment in literature, or to a woman 's perspective toward literature in particular. This course offers an opportunity for those students interested in such topics to pursue their interests regardless of whether or not they be French majors. French literature abounds with material pertinent to this study. The writings of great French authors, both men and women, form the basis for this course. A foreign language department teaches not only language but literature as well. Since the class is conducted in English, French majors are not given credit for the course toward their majors, whereas other non-majors wil be given credit not, however, as a substitute for foreign language requirements. An oral vote was taken, but due to the fact that several obviously male faculty members voiced emphatic opposition, the decision was confused. A second oral vote was taken with the same results. Majority approval was indicated by a hand count which revealed approximately 10 negative votes, far fewer than indicated by the intensity of the oral vote. The Wilkes College Bulletin will list a new French course - French 261, Feminine Perspectives in French Literature as follows: "French reading in translation exploring woman's situation in a male dominated society. Feminist criticism replaces traditional literary criticism." · After two offerings of our course under the ad hoc seminar number, we happily welcome its official recognition in the college catalogue.

Swimmers End Season On Saturday The · Wilkes College swim team will close out its 1973-74 season this Saturday afternoon at the WilkesBarre Aquadome, when it entertains defending Middle Atlantic Conference champions, Elizabethtown College at 2 p.m. Despite a poor 2-8 season, a number of Coach Joe Shaughnessy's mermen have performed well above their pre-season expectations. Former Meyers High School standout, Joe Abate has come through with 13 first place finishes in the diving events this year, and has an excellent chance to place in the upcoming MAC tournament.

Lee has an 11-5-1 dual meet record going into the tourney, while Sharer is 13-5. Coach Reese is very optimistic about his team's prospects in the MAC's, and at next week's national showdown as well. Wrestling against institutions like Army, ·Oklahoma, North • Dakota State, Syracuse, Lehigh, and Navy has helped everyone of the Colonel grapplers, and the silverware they could bring home during the next two weeks seems infinite. A great deal of fine wrestling is expected at the MAC tourney, and a breakdown of the individual weight classes looks like this. Two freshmen should dominate the 118-pound class, with only one of last year's top four place winners returning. Ron Pucillo of Johns Hopkins finished fourth in the tourney last annum, but the grappler to beat will be Elizabethtown's Eric Mast, who has looked excellent in his first year of competition. . The third member to look for m the lightweight contest is Wilkes' own Rick Mahonski. Mast punished Mahonski when the two met in a recent dual meet, beating him soundly 20-4. But Rick has made a turn-around since then, and a return engagement may prove quite interesting. Another Colonel frosh, Lonny Balum could be a runaway in the 126-pound weight class. Bruce Sensinig of Elizabethtown finished second to last year's "Most f th l " Outstanding Wrest er o e tourney, Bobby Roberts, b.ut he has been operating out of the 134-pound class and it is doubtful whether he can make the switch to the lighter weight. Balum's top contenders should be Moravian's Scott Shell, Elizabethtown's Gary Heim, and Delaware Valley's Steve Smith. Balum obliterated Heim earlier this season, 13-3, while Sqell managed to eak out a 4-3 decision over Heim. So look for Balum and Shell to be pitted against each other on Saturday night. The 134-pound weight class could very well be the most talented bracket in the tournament. Again a Colonel wrestler has got to be considered the favorite, with John Chakmakas a slight favoritie oyer last year's champion, Jim Gaydos of Muhlenberg, Gary Felthousen of Lycoming, who was third at 134 last year, and Sensinig, if he competes at this weight. Another grappler who could be a sleeper is Johns Hopkins' Clark Kingery, who finished fourth in the MAC tourney a year ago. Barring any injuries or upsets, Artie Trovei seems to have an excellent opportunity at bringing home another first for Coach his back in the early Reese's squad at 142. Artie won the Colonel sophomore may first MAC crown. title at 134 two years ago, but he was beaten in the finals last annum. Mild opposition should come from Don Rife of E-town, Tom Yates of Western Maryland, and Delaware Valley's Rich Homan. Trovei easily beat ·a11 three in dual meets this season. Mike Lee is back to defend his title at 150 pounds, and a lot of fine grappling is expected at this weight class also. Lee's chief opposition in this middleweight will be Swathmore's Cabbot Christianson, who lost to Mike in last year's finals. Another grappler who could make it tough for the two favorites is 1.loyd Ritter, who placed third last year but was decisioned quite competently by Lee Another pair of earlier this season, 11-4.

The Beacon would like to extend its congratulations to the basketball and wrestling teams for their fine showing this past winter. All the hard work will culminate in the next couple of weeks with the wrestlers preparing for Division 111 Nationals here this weekend and the cagers traveling to Albrig~t to compete in the MAC's. For the basketballers, a post-season tournament is almost a "sure thing." However, no matter what happens i,n these post-season tourneys, both mentioned sports can be damn proud of what they have accomplished this season. Again, good luck and thanks for a superb winter of sports. Are We Huinan? We are beginning to wonder if a newspaperman is human. It seems that in many people's opinion, members of this profession, once they walk into a newspaper office, are no longer mistake-prone, no longer have the ability to make,, an error, no longer are human. Well, people, believe it or not! we still put our pants on the same way as everyone else. Though we try our best to cut down on mistakes, they still happen to us, as we are sure they do to you. Again, we try to minimize our mistakes, ] because we dislike making them as much as you do reading them, but let's not forget that they are inevitable. And, finally, before you decide to have a protest march against newspapermen, ask yourself, "How many mistakes did I make today?" The only difference between your error and ours is that one, 10 or maybe even 20 people know of your mistake, while over 2,500 readers know about ours! Raspen Clarifies Grant Program Urges Passage of Senate Aid Bill Many thanks to Sandy Akromas and the "Beacon" for the recent article on financial aid. One point in the article, however, needs clarification. Two proposals relating to Pennsylvania State Grants are now being considered. The first, as stated in the article, would increase the maximum grant to as much as $2,000 per year. The second proposal would raise the family income limitation from $15,000 to $20,000 per year. Now the next sentence in the article beginning, " If either one happens," makes sense. This correction is most imp9rtant, because students who were previously rejected under the PHEAA program because of this limitation should now be encouraged• to file a new application for 1974-75. practice.

They are criminals. They have committed crimes and their prison sentence is punishment for their crimes. Many convicts, as a result of their prison stay have straightened out and are looking for a new life once they get out. It is hard for them to get a new life since many employers are hesitant in hiring ex-cons. However, a step in the right direction in helping an ex-convict seek a rewarding life after prison was instituted by North Texas State University when they hired an ex prisoner to teach poetry on the University level. B.F . Maiz, an inmate at the F ederal Correctional Institution in Fort Worth, Texas, is 51 years old and he has spent seven years behind bars. He is also an unpublished poet. On March 1, he will be an official spokesman for 14,500 students and a member of the staff of North Texas State University, the fifth-largest university in Texas. In an unusual move, the president of North Texas State, C.C. Nolen, has convinced his board of trustees that Mr. Maiz become the principal element of a major experiment aimed at breaking the cycle of crime and promoting the rehabilitation of convicts to useful roles in society. When he is released later this month, Mr. Maiz, who has attended four universities with extensive studies in philosophy and literature at Kansas State University, will move into a totally new role.· "We believe Mr. Maiz is exceptionally qualified for our experiment," says President Nolen, noting that the idea of hiring an ex-convict has been well received by faculty and students at the university, "He relates well with all types of people and seems to be able to communicate through his poetry." The university president said, " We believe he can tell the university the needs of the students, particularly minority students. About 12 per cent of our student population is made up of representatives from minority groups." Mr. Maiz is black. Another area in which the volumes of verse will be used is the counseling of students away f,rom drug abuse. His time in prison here and at Leavenworth - has resulted from violations of the United States Drug Control Act of 1958. Finally, Mr. Nolen hopes that the new member of his staff will assist the university in assembling a task force on rehabilitation "that can really change the cycle of crime." " The whole thing is an experiment, and a university is the place for experimentation," the school's president said. " I feel Mr. Maiz is a talented and gifted man. What's more, he is the No. 1 example of what can happen with successful rehabilitation." Warden Charles Campbell of the correctional facility, where male and female Federal prisoners are housed in a single prison complex and residents are treated as individuals rather than as uniformed and numbered convicts, says he believes Mr. Maiz "may be a major literary talent. " "But this is not why I endorsed him for the university job," the warden said. • "The man has made positive behavioral changes," Mr. Campbell said. "He has changed as a man and has been extremely helpful in working with other residents. "We have found him completely trustworthy and we-sincer.ely hope the university experiment will be a 100 per cent success." field trips and going to opera Air fares are booked on the 22-45 performances will increase students day excursion fare which allows perception and appreciation of this students to stay on as long as they great Italian art form, although wish after the courses up to a period opera from France, Germany and of 45 days .. · Free brochures are R~ia will be studied as _wll. -avilable by writing STUDY IN Attendance at rehearsals will be ROME PROGRAMS, P.O.

Anthony ( 1820-1906) were the two women most closely associated with the women's rights movement in the 19th century. Besides being very close friends, they were also founders of equal-rights and suffrage associations, organizers of annual conventions and co-editors of the first three volumes of the History An increasingly growing problem on the Wilkes c~pus . and on campuses across the country, is the need for adequate _security. Wllkes has perhaps one of the worst systems possible. Our security amounts to a ~ew older men walking around the campus, some fearing any confrontation. And even though thedoors to the wo_men's dorr~s a;e always locked, _there still seems to be evidence of break-ms. Even Ki~g s College has a ~h~htly better system, consisting of a call-up reqwrement for all visitors, admittedly highly impractical in our women's dorms. But they _also have a 24-hour switchboard. Our switchboard closes at 5 p.m. So there is no school line open at all times for emergencies. . . It has come to our attention that there been many mcidents over th_e past couple of years such as the regularity of obscene phone calls m the women's dorm, ~trange men breaking into women's d?:ms, frequent cases of men exposing themselves to Wilkes women. In addition to the numerous rape cases in Northeastern Pennsylvania recently, there have been women attacked right here on campus. · , . We would like to offer some suggestions to improve t~e security on campus and institute a feeling of confidence and well-bemg among the women ~t Wilkes. 1) First, we need a 24 hour switchboard or an emergency number to call connected with the school. 2) Students should be employed extensively for security. Tnere are men and women younger and_ str?ng~r than the older men who are presently employed here. 3) Bet~r hghtmg is needed between buildings, and pressure must be put on the city for more adequate lighting. 4) There are possibilities for an escort system, p~es~ntly being used successfully on other campuses. 5) We should mstltute educational programs geared to informing both w~men a_nd men how to react effectively to attacks, and the subsequent police action to be taken. 6. A rape crisis center is needed on a 24 hour basis. We pr~sently are institllting a Women's Referral Center for all problems concerning women, but are limited severely in staff, facilities and time. A school sponsored center would be ideal. 7) A campaign should be organized for "safe houses" around campus and the city wher e frightened students can take . of Women's Suttrage. refuge. 8) Lastly, and most importantly, there is a need _for courses_ in In 1869 Elizabeth described how self-defense, free of charge and connected with the Physical Education they complimented one another Department. Stlldents should be able to take defense courses for gym when she wrote: credit and it should be available to every student, every semester on a "In writing we did better work continuing basis, so that students can progress and not just repeat the together than either could alone. same thing each term.

Perhaps the most important advise we can offer to the students at Here is one of the best examples of Wilkes, especially the women, is to report any and all crimes, ha:assme_nt, Elizabeth's independence of mind attacks, indecent exposures. But anlways report them. No police action and strength of body in a letter to can be taken unless people are willing to go to the police.

Among her prescriptions for a healthy womanhood she wrote this in 1859 in a letter to a friend: "I think if women would indulge more freely in vituperation, they would enjoy ten times the health they do. It seems to me they are suffering from repression." Here is an excerpt from Elizabeth c.· Stanton's diary, written in 1890 when she was 75 years old. "Our trouble is not our womanhood, but the· artificial trammels of custom under false conditions. We are, as a sex, infinitely superior to men, and if we were free and developed, healthy in body and mind, as we should be under natural conditions, our motherhood would be our glory. That ,function gives women such wisdom and power as no male ever can possess. When women can support themselves, have their entry to all the trades and professions, w1th a house of their own over their heads and a bank account, they will own their bodies and be dictators in the social realm."

After blowing everyone of their MAC opponents right off the mat last weekend at the conference tourney, the Wilkes College grapplers are now prepared for the big move; the march for the NCAA Division III crown. This is possibly one of the best Wilkes 'wrestling squads in the school's history, but fighting off the likes of Montclair St., and Ashland will be by no means an easy task. A blend of experience, young talent, and the will to win has enabled Coach Reese's grapplers to attain the success that they presently have. But the squad will not have entirely quenched their victory thirst until that team title is in their hand's on Saturday night. Not enough can ever by said about 134- JOHN CHAMAKAS 126 - LON BAL UM 167 · JIM WEISENFLUH the fantastic job that freshmen Rick Mahonski, and Lon Balum have done in this, their first year of collegiate competition. After being pulverized earlier this season by Elizabethtown's Eric Mast in a dual meet, M_ahonski came back last weekend to completely out-wrestle Mast in the MAC semi-finals for seven and a half minutes, before succumbing to him in the final seconds. One wrong move separated Rick from his first conference title. He learned a great deal from that defeat, and it's going' to be rough stopping him in this weekend's nationals; especially before the home crowd.

ARTIE IN ACTION -Artie Trovei has really come on after a fe~; ~e~rly -season injuries and 1s all set for tomorrow's national tourney. He has only lost three times in fifteen bouts this - season, and closed out his grappling exploits with a 41-6-3 career tally. The'73-'74 Season At A Glance The 1973-74 wrestling season will indeed be one to remember here at Wilkes. Encountering one of the toughest grappling schedules in the country, the Colonels have felt both the thrill of victory as well as the agony of defeat. The season began down in 'Lehigh's Grace Hall; known to many as "the pit." The Colonels had the tools to take home the victory, , but nonethetess, Lehigh prevailed 22-15. Perhaps it was the pressure of wrestling in the pit, or just early season inexperience; whatever it was, it put the Colonels on the losing side of the fence - something they don't like to see happen. After Lehigh the Wilkesmen emitted their anxieties on York College, and Western , Maryland winning by whopping scores of 36-0 and 53-0. Traveling up the road a few days later, the Colonels had a very tough time with Binghamton State, before pulling it out 22-18. The narrow victory gave the locals a 3-1 dual log but there was a few sticks of dynamile ahead. The first explosive was the Naval Academy. With a few · of ' their g1applers hampered by injury and Gene Ashley not even making the trip, Navy squeaked through for a 21-17 victory. After finishing second to Clarion State in the Wilkes Open tourney, Coach Reese's charges prepared to do battle with the touring Oklahoma Sooners, who were rated sixth in the nation in the University-division. After taking a short-lived 9-3 lead, Wilkes saw its glimmer of hope disappear, as the Mid-Westerners took the last seven matches. Despite losing 31-9, many of the bouts •were close, and Gene Ashley very nearly pinned last year's third place finisher in the NCAA Universitydivision tourney, Rod Kilgore. The Oklahoma coach commented later on, that the Wilkes match was the toughest one on the entire Eastern tour for his squad. . The Blue and Gold traveled up to Syracuse for a quadrangular meet a week later, and most observers expected three easy victories for the locals. But Syracuse refused to quit and handed Coach Reese his fourth defeat of the campaign, 24-12. After sweeping through three easy victories, the Wilkesmen hosted college-division powerhouse North Dakota State at the Franklin St. gym, and were saddled with a painful 21-18 loss. Bison victories over Mike Lee and Jim Weisenfluh were the major reasons for the defeat. The Colonels closed out their dual season by winning their last five matches including a 26-10 victory over Division III rival Montclair St. These wins pushed the Blue and Gold season record to 13-5, with the next step being the MAC to.urnament at Delaware Valley College.

With matmen traveling from over 80 NCAA member school:: throughout the nation, the action should prove to be fast and furious and the talent nothing less then superb, After completely dominating last weekend's MAC tourney, and coming up with eight individual titlists, Wilkes is a heavy favorite to climax their season with a national crown. Leading the list of possible placewinners is Blue and Gold Co-Captains, Art Trovei (142), and Mike Lee (150). Artie finished fifth in last year's college-division nationals, and is a good bet to win it all this year at 142. · . As a sophomore, two years ago Lee placed third in the national event, losing out in the semi-finals to Mr. Evervthing, Wade Schalles of Clarion State. Mike has had some rough going this year, encountering some of the best grapplers in the nation at his weight class, but his third consecutive MAC crown last week could have been an indication of what is to come this week. A few of the other Colonel wrestlers who have the talent to walk away with titles are Rick Mahonski (118), Lon Balum (126), John Chakmakas (134), Gene Ashley (158), Jim Weisenfluh (167), Jeff McDonald (177), and Al Sharer (Hwt.). Despite being beaten by Wilkes in a dual meet, 26-10, earlier . this season, Montclair will give the locals all they can handle. Possessing some outstanding performers who can take home some gold, Coach Larry Sciacchetano's squad can really make it tough for their opposition in the tourney. Most of Montclair's title strength will come in the first four weight classes. Ed Alber (118), Nabel Guketlov ( 136), Craig Spencer ( 134), and Larry Hayspell (142) are all Metropolitan Conference champions and possess a great deal of talent and experience. Guketlov will most likely be the number one seed in the 126-pound weight class and is presently sporting an undefeated dual log.

Sophomores Barbara Long and Diane Jones added 13 and 10 points respectively, while captain Ann Tracey contributed 9. Freshman Dotty Martin chipped in 6 to add to her team's scoring. Tracey and Jones led the defense, combining for 25 rebounds. The Colonelettes capitalized on excellent foul shooting to gain their win since both teams scored 20 field goals in the contest. The Wilkes women made 15 foul shots in 24 attempts while their opponents only shot 4 for 15. Although the Colonelettes average 17 .2 team fouls per game, no one was on the bench with their allotment of fouls this time. O'Boyle and Lopez led Marywood's scoring with 12 points apiece. The remainder of the season looks bright for the Colonelettes and they will have a chance to prove themselves Monday night at 7:00 when they play hosts to Keystone Junior College at the Franklin Street gym, and again on Wednesday night when they 'travel to Misericordia in Dallas for a 6:30 game. The Misericordia team only beat the Colonelettes by two the first time around, and the Wilkes girls have a good shot at a victory this time. Friday's victory was the first time that the Colonelettes had beaten the Marywood girls since 1968.

Artie's mother, father and sister have seen every match of his collegiate wrestling career, and watching him walk off that mat a champion Saturday night made all of their tedious traveling worthwhile. For John Chakmakas, his national title was a realization of a dream, but to Wilkes wrestling fans, it was the happiest and probably the biggest surprise of their lives. Before the season began, it was not sure whether John would even be wrestling varsity. But since the season began, when Chak came through with a big win in the Lehigh dual meet, the doubters have become believers. For second place finishers Rick Mahonski, Gene Ashley, and Al Scharer, it meant that they have to work just that much harder to prove_ themselves. , Mahonski has met Elizabethtown's Eric Mast three times this year, including last week's finals and has yet to win. But in the last two, Rick has dominated the match, only to lose because of a few costly mistakes. During the next few years, he has the natural wrestling ability to become one of Wilkes' best ever. His ability, coupled with the fact that he has John Reese as a tutor will make for interesting developments. Gino and Al are confident wrestlers who stand in awe of no one. The two juniors met probably the two best grapplers in the tourney, and you can bet they'll be back again next year, tougher than ever. The voyage to number one took its conductor, namely John Reese 21 years to reach its destination. But the last portion of it, with passengers like the six mentioned and others, namely Lon Balum, Jim Weisenfluh, Joe Grinkevich, and Jeff McDonald, have made the journey well worth the time it took to achieve. ollege Financial Aid Instructions Issued ege Financial Aid Office unced procedures for to follow to renew financial apply for financial aid for · g academic year beginSeptember, 1974. Packets of y forms and instrucnow being assembled in the Aid Office, -Chase Hall, be available to students March 15. It is the ·ty of the student to · packet between March 15 I. Any packets not picked · 1 will be mailed to the borne address. et will contain a Wilkes lication for Renewal of Aid, a multi-use form completed will serve to establish eligibility for a larship Grant, National dent Loan, Supplementional Opportunity Grant the College Work-Study Other programs require application forms, and will below. et will also contain a Confidential Statement for form used by the College the financial data of the student and his family, on which the type and amount of awards are based. When completed, but not later than April 15, the PCS form is to be forwarded to the College Scholarship Service, P.O. Box 176, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. The CSS will analyze the data submitted, and determine the amount of financial need of each student. For those students already qualified as an independent student, a Student's Financial Statement rather than a Parents' Confidential Statement will be found in the packet. An independent student is one who meets each of the following criteria: The student has not: (a) resided witl1 his parents during the preceding twelve months, and will not reside with his parents during 1974-75. (b) received more than $200 in support from the parents during the preceding year, and will not receive $200 in support from the parents during the 1974-75 year. ( c) been claimed as an exemption for Federal Income Tax purposes by the parents for 1973, and will not be claimed as such a deduction by the parents for 1974. An affidavit of student independence must be completed with each Student Financial Statement. Students interested in exploring the possibility of establishing independence should speak with the Director of Financial Aid. Packets will also be available for those students who are not receiving . aid during 1973-74, but who would like to apply for financial aid from the College in 1974-75. Instead of a renewal application, these packets contain an Initial Application for Financial Aid. Like the renewal form, the initial applicatin may be used to establish eligibility for the College-administered aid programs: Wilkes Scholarship Grants, National Direct Student Loans, Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grants, and the College Work-Study Program. A 1974-75 Parents' Confidential Statement is also included in the packet, but may be exchanged for the Student's Financial Statement if the student is determined to be financially independent of his parents•. The application for renewal, gr initial application, must be filed by April 15, along with the appropriate financial statement. Forms filed after April 15 will be considered late, and will be acted on only if funds are available after considering the requests filed before the deadline date of April 15. Priority, then, will be given first to on-time requests before late requests are considered. Pennsylvania State Higher Education Grants Pennsylvania State Higher Education Grants (formerly State Scholarships) renewal applications will be mailed to any student currently receiving a PHEAA grant. Students who were denied assistance for 1973-74 by PHEAA and students who did not file for PHEAA aid for 1973-74 will not receive a renewal application in the mail. PHEAA grant applications for 1974-75 will be available at the College Financial Aid Office for students not already__ on the PHEAA mailing list. All Pennsylvania residents are reminded that two proposals may significantly ease PHEAA eligibibility: the proposed increase in the maximwn grant from $1,200 to $2,000; and the proposed increase in the family income ceiling from $15,000 to $20,000. Consequently, students who were previously denied PHEAA aid because of a lack of need or family income in excess of the ceiling should definitely apply for 1974-75. Actually, there is no reason for any Pennsylvania resident not to apply for this program, since it is a non-repayable grant program, and since there is no charge for filing. Filing address is given on the application itself. Recipients of scholarships or grants from other states shoultl consult with their state scholarship agency to determine renewal and applications procedures for 1974-75. State Guaranty Loans The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania normally mails renewal forms to students who are currently receiving Pennsylvania State Loans. Students who do not receive a new application, and students from other states should obtain an application form from their home-town bank or savings-and-loan association. Students are reminded that a Parents' Confidential Statement (or SFS for independent students) must be filed before the Financial Aid Office may process any state loan application.

Dr. Francis Michelini recently announced proposed plans for demolition of some campus buildings. He expressed the hope that some of these cleared areas will be used for parking lots. However, all plans are ' only tentative at this time. · Eight to 10 buildings are involved in the planned demolition which is scheduled to take place this summer. The summer was chosen so that the danger involved would be minimized. Buildings involved inelude Miner, Doan, and former Pickering Hall and other presently vacant and near vacant structures. Michelini hopes that in co-operation with the Commuter Council they can work out some solution to the parking problems. He hopes that the car pool idea will be workable on campus and that students would also take advantage of the public transport<ltion system. There is also a possibility of construction of tennis courts near the gym area. This would save students the inconvenience of traveling to Kirby Park. However, construction of the courts also will depend on the costs involved. 1111111111111111111111111111111111 Ill 1111111111111111111111111 Ill 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 �Page 2 THE BEACON IDC To F ete Colonel Wrestle Editorially Speaking Wilkes-Barre- home of Wilkes College- is the safest Pennsylvania community with over 50,000 population in which to live. Nearby Scranton was the 60th safest city to live in of the nation's 393 communities with over 50,000 population in 1970 and 1971, according to book, "America's 50 Safest Cities," by David Franke. Franke's book was published this year, but FBI statistics on which it is based are from the years 1970 and 1971. The book lists Lakewood, Ohio, as the nation's safest city and Compton, Calif., as the nation's most dangerous city. Wilkes- Barre is listed 26th among the 50 safest cities nationally. According to Franke, a well-known journalist, who has contributed articles to many periodica Is, the safest cities were determined, by considering the number of each of seven categories of crime per each 100,000 population. In addition to murder, which includes "non-negligent manslaughter," other categories of crime considered are: Forcible rape, including attempted rape; robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny The Inter-dormitory CoW1cil will hold a dinner and reception to honor the wrestling team at the end of the wrestling season. The event was approved al the IDC meeting held Sunday evening in the Commons. The IDC activities committee is responsible for planning. The committee working on the Freshman Booklet needs suggestions and a caroonist. The booklet envisioned by IDC President, Lee .\ uerbach, will serve as a freshmen survival guide to Wilkes-Barre and a and auto theft. Wilkes- Barre's statistics for the two years are: robbery, aggravated assault, burglary,_ larceny and auto theft. Wilkes- Barre's statistics for the two years are: murder, zero and one; rapes, two and three; robberies, six and 19; aggravated assaults, 19 and two; burglaries, 229 and 246; larcenies, 350 and 532; auto thefts, 179 and 193. The book states that Scranton had five murders in 1970 and one in 1971. Other crimes committed du_ring 1970 and 1971 in that city are: rapes, six and seven, respectively; robbery, 25 and 68; aggravated assaults, 129 and 144; burglaries, 604 and 795; larcenies, 595 and 770, and auto thefts, 381 and 452.

Puring the most recent debate, the Chamber of Congress of the United States maintained that a boost in the minimum wage of $1.60 to $2.20 an hour, or 38 per cent, was too sharp and would minimize job opportunities for young people and marginal workers. It cited statistics to show that jobless rates for these groups rose when the minimum pay standards across the country were . raised. I Die-hard advicates of minimum wage laws in Congress and leaders of organized labor professed not to understand the economics of the National Chamber's position. How could raising minimum pay lead to unemployment for people in low-cost jobs? Quite simply, by pricing them out of the market for low-cost labor, as illustrated by a magazine advertisement of a manufacturer promoting sale of automated equipment for radio stations under the headline: "Looking for someoneto work for 47 cents an hour?" "Your station costs are bound to increase because of the proposed $2.20 minimum wage," the ad read. "Why pay more?" Cost of the equipment, the reader learned, averaged 47 cents an hour. Readers also were reminded that the equipment, which h~dles a number of on-air functions, "never needs vacations, social security, hospitalization or raises." Who says higher wages can't hurt some people's chances of getting or keeping a job?

There is quite a bit of energy that remains uncharinelled and eventually disipates for lack of direction. Women have taken the first steps academically by the insistance of the inclusion of feminist courses in the curriculum. It is time to include more wo~en s~udents in o~r lives. It is time to develop any feelings of solidarity which might be looking for a place to go. It is our suggestion that women at Wilkes College examine their capabilities and decide exactly "where we're at" and where we want to be. It is for this reason that we propose the formation of a women's coalition or union, not rigidly structured, but aimed at providing an outlet for the women here. The union could provide opportunities for women to meet, discover what they have in common, to really get to know one another. This in turn could lead to C-R groups ( consciousness-raising), politically oriented groups, and any other activities of interest to women. There are many obstacles to overcome in our lives, as women, anl:I the strength to break out of our stereotypes can come from what we learn from each other• Dr. Driscoll A n A ccomplished Wo BYKATHYMAURER ' Mick Jagger sings, "Yol' Can't Always Get What You Want."

And that is because no one is Valerie Balester Schumacher my master, no one is my slave. Elegy For My Mad Mother and discrimination was · more frequent. In order for a woman to get through college and to enter into graduate school, she had to have an enormous amount of determination. Now, the situation is quite different. It's much easier to find professors you can work with and who will help you. This has. been aided by the construction of the Aff' ti A t' p gr m 11:ma Ve C 100 ro a • · The second reason I related to employment. An incident also occured when I received my doctorate. The standard practice was to obtain a job through the influence of the Department Chairman or other faculty acquaintances . In my experience I never enjoyed this benefit anytime. I always landed my jobs through my own determination. We must also look at the other side of the issue. There are many women ·who defeat themselves. By this, I'm referring to women who find other areas of interest and forsake their roles as professionals for the roles of housewife and--0r mother. A woman can execute all three roles effectively if she trys hard enough and has supportive cooperation from her husband and family. I'm anxious to see how the so-called "Cooperative Professional Marriages" are going to work out. It's not easy to have children and be both a professional and a good parent. Both parents have _to be willing to help with housework and enemies and we work against each .other as a result of this cultural syndrome. Question: How can women function effectively as both mother and professional? Dr. Driscoll: There are two solutions to this question: First;. child-care centers should be established, charging only a nominal fee. Wayne University, in Detroit, has day care facilities for faculty, staff and students. The program also serves a dual purpose. It provides needed child-care and also allows education majors an opportunity to complete their required field training. Secondly, society must recognize the fact · that parenthood is an important social function. I believe society should subsidize the family for both males and females. Both young men and women should not be expected to be full-time careerists during certain years. Ideally, we should consider the first several years in one's job as a sort of apprenticeship. Evaluation and promotion would not start until the individual is ready to work full-time. This would permit both parents to handle the responsibilities of child-rearing and housework equally. Both could then continue their career on a full-time basis. I realize this ideal is far off. There is a way women can try to retain their professional standing while fulfilling the maternal role as well. have helped draw women profession.

One group I must single out and recognize publicly for the outstanding work they did over the three dayt tournament, is the Wilkes Wrestling Colonelettes. Without them, and their advisor, Gay Meyers, I don't we would have gotten everything done. They were always there where we needed them and met every enthusiasm. Their spirit matched that of the wrestling team and both groups came out winners. Again, thank you for all your support.

MARK LEVATISH New Hours ERROR! -------------- �Page 2 THE BEACON Editorially ·Speaking PR·ESIDENT'S ·TR-1BUTE I would like to publicly express my deep pride as president of Wilkes College, in the students of Wilkes College as reflected in just a few of the events, activities, and successes of recent months. I begin by congratulating Coach John Reese, a truly fine person and teacher, for the achievements of his wrestlers in capturing not only the Middle Atlantic Conference championship for Wilkes College but also in winning the highest national chatnpionship honors in wrestling. There were great individual performances, but the successes are achieved only through a tremendous spirit of team responsibility. Whether or not final championships are won by individuals, the collective success attests to the hard work and dedication that went into an entire season of accomplishment.

The cast included such talents as Dustin Hoffman, Harry Bel~fonte, Rita Coolidge and Kris Kristofferson, the voices of Ala~ Aid~, Dick C~vett, Tommy Smothers, and an ensemble of puppets and ammatlon. The pomt of the show was to redefine the existing sex roles and stereotypes pushed on us all from the nursery on. Even the commercials were better than usual and non-sexist. Unfortunately many of today's TV programs for adults and children promote the idea that some th~ngs are meant _for girls and ?thers for boys. Certain professions are depicted as essentially male oriented such as police work and the medical profession; and others are seen as exclusively feminine, such as teacher, librarian, parent. The role of the parent is one of the most abused stereotypes of all. _. _ . The show contained scenes with the various personahtles tellmg stones or acting out situations the way the'y are and the way they should_be. Rosy Grier sang "It's All Right To Cry" about a boy who was afraid to _cry because only sissies cry. He explained that all people cry and that emot10~s are natural for boys as well as girls. The first puppet scene was staged m the maternity ward of a hospital. Two newborn babies were discussing the reasons they must be male or female. They were basing it on their preferences for what they wanted to be when they grew up. As it turned out they were wrong, as they found out when the nurse came to change their .diaper~. In addition to the many references to job stereotype, there was also the redefining of the social ste~eotypes of little girls being youn~ ladies and growing up pretty, while little boys are not supposed to play with dolls, but to play football and other sports. But the biggest challenge to th~ norm was in regard to the role of the parents ... Fathers were shown as bemg equally responsible for the care of their children. The commercials even ~epicte? scenes with these overtones. Harry Belefonte and Marlo Thomas did a skit portraying "mommies and daddies" as people too, mothers in the role of doctor and fathers in the role of parent in general, or the role usually taken by the mother. The theme of the show was generally one of love, friendship and most of all tolerance. The old story of Atalanta the princess was shown in animation. This story is about a princess bargaining with .h er father, the King, for her right to determine the course of her own life. Two ~portant issues were raised in the skit. First, the right of a daughter to decide what was best for herself as a son would be allowed to do. And secondly, the possibility that marriage is not the sole goal of every young girl, and that it is not a disgrace not to want to marry. There were many other equally important skits too numerous to mention. The show was well-made and educational without being too pushy, and was extremely entertaining for children. Marlo Thomas has also produced books and records with non-sexist themes that are also both educational and entertaining. This, hopefully, is a trend that will catch on fast both in the realm of entertainment, in the schools, and in the cur;iculum planning committees. All these things have a tremendous influence on children and can determine whether they will grow up free or not. Poem From "The Common Woman" Ella, in a square apron, along Highway 80 Judy Grahn She's a copperheaded waitress, tired and sharp-worded, she hides her bad brown tooth behind a wicked smile, and flicks her ass out of habit, to fend off the pass that passes for affection. She keeps her mind the way men keep a knife-keen to strip the game down to her size. She has a thin spine, swallows her eggs cold, and tells lies. She slaps a wet rag at the truck drivers if they should complain. She understands the necessity for pain, turns away the smaller tips, out of pride, and keeps a flask under the counter. Once, she shot a lover w}lo misused her child. Before she got out of jail, the courts had pounced and given the child away. Like some isolated lake, Iler flat blue eyes take care of their own stark bottoms. Her hands are nervous, curled, ready to scrape. The common woman is as common as a rattlesnake.-- Women's Page Staff Carla Demmon Sue Donio Jackie Freeman Klosowski Cheryl Lingsch Cathy Link Kathy Skolnik Holli Stults Art Instructor Speaks Before Feminist Class Student Artists Praised -For Exhibition Works The exhibit of Catherine Spencer and Richard Finklestein, last the Conyngham Art Gallery, was a rare treat for art lovers· at Spencer's work consists of printmaking, oils, watercolors, and Finklestein's field is photography. Together they have presented one finest shows seen at the gallery. An interesting aspect is that several underlying themes found in Spencer's work. The print Blossom" makes a strong statement concerning motherhood." Sea Nymph " demonstrates an ambiguous situation with the classicism. The underlying idea of classical revival is seen in the drawing titled "Christ's Passion". Her work is sensitive, yet dyn Randy Peyser, instructor of art at Wilkes College, spoke to the feminist class on campus on March 4 on the subject of Women in the Arts. She does not feel that there is any discrimination in the arts. Her experiences in the field, at least, have been basicially favorable. However, she mentioned one event which was rather disillusioning. A couple years ago, "Time" magazine devoted an entire issue to women. Most of the articles were by women concerning their various · problems at home and ii! the professional and · business worlds. The cover of the magazine, however, was created by a man. It depicted a clear plastic head of a woman filled with such articles as diaper pins and clothes pins, etc. Ms. Peyser found this extremely inappropriate. She was among many women artists who wrote letters to the editor of "Time" stating their feelings and asking why "Time" had not selected a cover design created by a woman or, at least, one which summarized the female situation more effectively. The editor replied that "Time" had not been able to find a female artist good enough! Ms. Peyser then sent a photograph of a sculpture she had created which she thought would have been more appropriate - a . sculpture which she believed expressed more profoundly the W~men m the theater and dance are the subject matters ot many conflicting situation of the modern works of Richard Finklestein.

An earlier announcement concerning the acceptance by Dr: Patrick was sent to the members of the Board of Trustees, following approval by the Executive Committee of the Board, President Michelini wrote: "I am especially pleased with the selection of Dr. Patrick because she was a member of the faculty at.the University of Pennsylvania when I was a graduate student there in the early 1950s. Furthermore, Dr. Patrick will be the first woman Commencement speaker at Wilkes College and will be a representative of the sciences, from which we have not selected a Commencement speaker for a number of years. "With our continuing thrust in the area of medical education, nursing, environmental science, and engineering, and with our graduate programs in the sciences, I believe it is fitting to have a scientist of her caliber as our speaker." Dr. Patrick · will address the Wilkes graduates on "Ecology and Energy." This topic _is most fitting inasmuch as she recently was named the recipient of the 1973 Philadelphia Award - a $15,000 prize to be given later in the Spring of this year.

She maintains that air, land and water have become so polluted that a sense of urgency is needed to clean up the wastes before the world is no longer habitable. In addition to heading the Academy of Natural Sciences, Dr. Patrick teaches biology at the University of Pennsylvania.

Buckley, a longtime Nixon supporter, stated Tuesday that Nixon's resignation · is the "only thing that can bring th is country out of its present state." Ron Ziegler, Nixon's" mouth," answered the charge by saying, "The President has kept his composure under all the barrage of pleas for his resignation." We ask, so what! Granted, the President has been put under severe pressure and strain by the Watergate affai.r. However, this pressure and strain asserted by his colleagues, the. press and common citizens should not be used as a crutch for him to stand on. We stated in an editorial some months ago following the firing of Archibald Cox that it was time this man stepped aside for the good of the country. However, · it seems to us he is determined to finish his term unless forced out. It didn't surprise nor alarm us when back in December Nixon "haters" clamored for his resignation, but when his one-time supporters feel it is "the only way to restore some assemblance of order in the country," we would say the walls are quickly closing in on him. Parking Answer ... Maybe Th is paper recently reported that the demolition of some campus buildings will occur in the .near future and parking space will be constructed. To this notion, we say it's about time. We don't enjoy beating a dead horse, but the • commuter and dorm student, paying two and three thousand dollars, respectively, should not have to "hunt" for a parking spot each day. He should not have to put up with "eagle-eyed" policemen ready to hit them with a ticket every time the red violation flag goes up. Nor should he have to park a mile from his class. Beacon . . . ..

The students are interesting, willing to learn, and co-operative. " Mrs. Teresa McDonald, Wilkes faculty member is relatively new to Wilkes but is very impressed by it. Mrs. McDonald has only been here two years but her fine work has won her the position of Assistant Director of the Institute of Regional Affairs. She assists Mr. Apdrew Shaw who is the Director. H~r duties include filing applications for educational grants from federal, state and private agencies. Mrs. McDonald enjoys her new position because she is being trained in "grantsmanship" and she also has the opportunity to teach . She teaches courses in Political Science and in the institute of Regional Affairs. The latter course she teaches in evening college to public employees. The courses are beneficial to the employees in their work. People involved in the sanitation department, the police department, and concerned with health are among her students. Mrs. McDonald is a special kind of person. She attended Penn State for 3 years to study architecture.

Mrs. McDonald credits success to encouragement from husband, Robert, who is in electrical business. She em that she wouldn't have gone school and accomplished all that has "if it wasn't for him." Mr, Mrs. McDonald live in Lake G Pa. They have a daughter, Beth, who is a graduate of Ski College and a son, Jim, who is a graduate of Wilkes. Mrs. McDonald, who has office in Franklin Hall, nearly 70 miles every day to Wilkes and return home. Som her work keeps her here until late at night. But she is a sincere and dedicated woman involved in her work and in family and very happy with Discrimination In Sports BY DEBBEY WYSOCKI In the midst of "women's liberation" and " equal rights for women," there does not exist a more blatant form of discrimination today than the discrimination against women athletes. The discrimination is such that many women will not even contemplate engaging in any type of sport activity because of social pressures, or what ping pong champion Judy Bochenski calls "cultural conditioning." According to Miss Bochenski, "Women are made to feel that sports, for them, are not important." Because of men, women athletes are deprived of respect, recognition and necessary funds and facilities. The following is a documentation of the state in which women athletes find themselves. enrollment of 1700, 209 women participate in sports, and they are not even insured by the college in case of injury. The women at Smith College find themselves in a similar position. There are, at the present time, 2300 women enrolled at Smith, and 140 of these participate in sports. The women athletes are not insured by the college, and their transportation budget is small. Like most other colleges, the women's athletic budget at Wilkes is grossly infinitesimal as compared to the men's. Women athletes are not only i lagued by the problem of funds, but they are also faced with the problem of inadequate facilities. For example, at Dr. Katherine Ley's university, the State University of FUNDS ARE MEAGER New York at Cortland, the women's A school board in Syracuse, New basketball team is not permitted to York budgeted $90,000 for male have practice . in the main sports; in that same year 1969, a gymnasium; th~y are only allowed mere $200 was set aside for female to play varsity . games there. sports. At Vassar, a college which According to Dr. Ley: "Recently was until r.ecently a women's one such game ran overtime college, the men were budgeted whereupon the men's basketball $4,750 for five sports. The women, on coach stormed into the gym and told the other hand, were budgeted only the girls to get off the court because $2,060 for three sports. What makes the boys , had to practice. The the situation at Vassar interesting is women's coach asked if he couldn't that there are 1400 women enrolled use the field house, explaining that at the college as compared to 700 her team was in the middle of a men. Many more examples of this game and had' reserved the space. type of discrim.ination can be cited, He said he was in a hurry because he but what is unfortunate is that liad to leave shortly to scout another people are not usually aware of it. team. He told the women it was silly The lack of awareness on the part of to finish : the score was lopsided and the general public is due to the it was not even a game. The women difficulty encountered in trying to docilely left the game unfinished and attain true figures of the funds - withdrew. " afforded men and women; thus, the UNEQUAL TREATMENT great discrepancy that exists Unfortunately, this situation does between male and female funding is · not only exist at Cortland, it exists at not generally known because such Wilkes College as well. In the first funds are usually guided by, and place, the women athletes must under the control of men. schedule their activities to accomAccording to a recent survey modate the men.

Wellesley College, interfere with the men's. The men's for instance, budgeted only $289 for basketball and wrestling teams are transportation of their women given sufficient time to practice. athletes; out of a women's The women's basketball team, on the other hand, has to curtail their practice time to make way for men's basketball intramurals. Compared to the type and amount of equipment the men are given, the women are given practically nothing in comparison. The women tennis players are faced with an even more aggravating situation i frequently, these blossoming Billie Jean Kings are allowed a meager thirty minutes to practice, if they get to practice at all. There are many more examples but let these suffice to point out that discrimination does exist on the Wilkes College campus. There is no reason why the women athletes should- not be given the same courtesy that is extended to the men's athletic teams; after all, the women at Wilkes pay the same amount of tuition as the men. Yet the women athletes are not given th~ same treatment as the males, if this is no discrimination, then one asks, what is? how women feel in sexual intercourse. Both are ignorant of the subject matter. A study conducted by a member of the Wilkes College athletic department has turned up some startling figures : from 1965 through 1972, there were only 47 out of 508 feature articles that dealt with women in the Journal of Health, Physical Eduction, and Recreation. According to this source, "in terms of pages, the figures are even more revealing. Of 6,911 total pages in the journal over the eight year time span, only 107 pages (approximately 1 per cent) were given to women." The case is very similar in Sports lliustrated, known to be the best-selling sports _magazine in the United States. In the same time period, there were only 71 of 2,032 feature "articles that dealt with women; of 40,480 pages, only 237 pages were directed to female athletes. Thus, it is quite evident that biased coverage of women NEWS MEDIA athletes is to a great extent, Today, discrimination against reflecting and perpetuating the women -athletes even extends into· inequality of women in today's the news media. "The amount of society. coverage given to the women's HISTORY OF WOMEN SPORTS athletics is meager and the quality is Women - athletes were first atrocious. " In the words of Abbi confronted with problems of this Abinati, "male sports writers have kind back in the 1840's when women created a mockery of women in began to play sports such as lawn sports whenever they have thought tennis and golf. Discrimination was to include women in sports pages." such that colleges did not even A typical example of such mocking sponsor any type of sport activity for and atrocious sports reporting .can women.

Union Explained by Grossm The press is not united. This is the great misapprehension that stains the country. There is an inbred suspicion that newspaper editors and the heads of television news departments arrange secret consultations to agree on who should be destroyed by the printed and oral word today. I will not defend the press, because freedom to print and say may be the only safeguard in America against a fascist state. It's the snarling watchdog, sniffing, probing, digging for hidden crime in high places. When the errant son of a big advertiser is nabbed for drunken driving, the men on the city desk gulp. H they publish it, daddy may withdraw his ads. If they don't, the competition will publish the story. On TV I get along well with Howard Cosell. At ABC, he worked the sports desk while I did a daily program on the Eichmann trial. And yet he is one of the "cubs" who forms an opinion before he understands the subject. For 13 years, I worked in an office adjoining Walter Winchell's. He was earning $1,000 a week to my $45. Walter assured me that he could make or break anybody, including the President. What he could break - and did - was his family. When he was buried, one of the most famous men in America had two mourners, a daughter and a rabbi. The girl sent the rabbi away. Gore Vidal wrote a book called "Burr." In the manner of those other eminent writers, Norman Mailer and Truman Capote, they tire of research and fill the blanks with what they think may have happened. The insult to the reading public is deepened when these fiction-fact books are referred to as "a new art form." I do not appreciate these "writers." James Kilpatrick, a columnist has spent a lot of time telling the Supreme Court when its decisions were wrong or right. Between times, he treated readers to dissertations on why Richard Nixon was a fine President. After all these years, he has deserted Nixon. If nothing else, this places in sharp focus the human weaknesses of the media. It isn't a plot; it isn't collusiqn; its frailty. DAMNED BY PRAISE Frequently, readers ask if there is anyone I dislike. This, by animadversion, indicates that I center my stories on people I admire. Years ago, James Knight of the Knight Newspapers said: "Jim Bishop doesn't offend people." It was low praise indeed. AJI newspapers are perpetually pitted against all others. The nature of the business is to get it first and get it right. It doesn't matter who is involved, or what. A reporter may have three hours in which to get an assignment from his boss, rush out to reach it and write it at a length suitable to the city desk. Are newspapers and the gentlemen who read the news on television ever wrong? Everyday. No one has ever managed to assemble 200 separate stories and get them all right. Often, the personal bias of the reporter or commentator creeps into the copy. Sadly, they are not gods. They are working stiffs. Example: Jimmy Cannon and I were friends. We started as copy boys on The New York Daily News. He died a few weeks ago. In 40 years, we never agreed. He carved his phrases and polished them, but I had to read five paragraphs to find out what the hell he was writing about. He would kill a man to use a good phrase. He found out that Emil Griffith, a good fighter, made women's hats as a hobby. Cannon called him a "swish hitter." He asked what I thought of it. I held my nose. MATES FOR THE MIGHTY I cite these items to show that the media is so busy fighting itself I marvel that it has time to probe the sins of others. Arthur Brisbane was the highest paid columnist I knew, but he imported two women woodchoppers from the State of Washington - each six feet of muscle and jaw - to chop a tree, and wrote: "Any red-blooded American would be proud to marry either of these ladies." I threw up on his column. A city editor assigned me to join a nudist • colony because he thought it was a sex factory. It wasn't. When I told him, he said: "Write it." So I wrote about naked people shaking hands. He spiked it. "One more like that," he warned, "and you're through." The press, to put it concisely, consists of 100,000 disparate mentalities working to keep 200,000,000 people informed. It's not a perfect system. But it's better than any other ... Beacon ....

Allen, a Moscow, Pa. native, did not come out for the team last season, but like Mastalski has been showing impressing form in workouts. Other Blue and Gold duffers who could win ·a berth on the seven-man contingent for Tuesday's opening match against Haverford are Joe Klocko, Charlie Haffey, Gene Dobrydney, Mike Kubiak and Steve Adamchak.

Ph o to by Bill Stah l E d itor and Publish er as proud of the two young men because they joined with him in the writing of a professional paper on "A Magnetically Driven Flexure Fatigue Apparatus, " which appeared in. the "Metallurgical Transactions, " a magazine for people engaged in engineering. "It's highly unusual to have papers published in a professional journal when you are a student," Orehotsky pointed out. "But these young· men deservetl it and the article has brought many inquiries." The professional paper that describes the fatig ue tester isn't something that the average person would curl up with and read for pure enjoyment. To an engineer it means something, but to a layman it is something he might consider browsing through if he were trapped in an old submarine and had nothing else to read. It took Dr. Orehotsky to describe the instrument in good five-eent English. " Think of ~ large airplane," he began. "You know that there is give or flexability in the wings with the amount being in direct proportion to the size and the amount of stress." Gaining assurance that this was understandable, the young engineering instructor continued. " Everything that is built and that undergoes stress has a tolerance point. A point at which it cannot stand more stress fatigue - and then it breaks. That is what this machine or fatigue - or tester does - it measures the strength of metal under stress." The testing of small pieces of metal and the determination of the fatigue factor can be translated to larger pieces of the same metal. The ultimate goal, as Dr. Orehotsky explained it, is to use information gained fromJ his instrument to make improvements in metal and giv~ it longer life. Actually the fatigue tester that provides the college with a valuable instruction aid without a $100,000 expenditure is a product of a tragedy that cost the college in excess of $14-million in flood loss in June 1972. The major portion of the parts that went into the construction of the fatigue tester were salvaged from many inches of mud, taken apart and cleaned. Some of the gauges still show signs of the brown river water that swept through the engineering department. · WQen asked to place a price tag on the home-made fatigue tester, Dr. Orehotsky said it was impossible. "These students built it out of notl:ting and it would cost close to $100,000 to buy the more sophisticated instrument on the retail market," he said. When Kurt joins Walter in the outside world after graduating in May, it will mean ~that the two Wilkes graduates will have left behind their personal gift in the form · of an extremely expensive and useful fatigue tester. �Page 4 w MEN ,,J 1' :fllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll,1111111111111 A,n THE BEACON Jane Fonda On Women ,9 ~Notes From Dikaial :11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111! / ~xism bothers me, but I can ahnost write off a chauvinistic male as just an ignorant person. When a woman participates in such games I am totally disgusted. ' The othe~ evening, after a night on the town 1? ), a male friend and myself decided to stop at a local restaurant before proceeding home. The place was packed with both college students and some older fo~s who had apparently been at a local organization's annual party. Across from us sat two lovely women, _p erhaps 21 or 22 ye~rs old. In back of us was a group of a~oll:t ten people, five husband and wife couples. They were in their mid thirties. After a while one of the husbands decided to come over and talk with the two women. They laughed and joked with him, and smiled very cutely. Before long, the husband got around to the "typical" question so many. men seem to ask _in one form or another: "What do you worry about most: your legs; your hips, or your breasts?" . I_ c~oked on n:1Y coffee when I heard the question as did my friend. Thinki_ng that this_ was going to be the end of his game, surely the women are going to tell this guy to "smack off" after a question like that. But no it '":as only the beginning. The women fulfilled their role very nicely. They giggled (embarrassed, of course), gave the question some thought and came up with their answer. ' . The question _I h~ve to ask is when are women going to stop participating in such barbaric rituals? When are we going to have enough pride about ourseI:ves that we are not going to allow such games to go on? Most men a·r e not going to stop playing; it is up to women to say - -, I will not be a party to such crap. The Women's Movement is involved with three basic areas of concern: ~he personal, the collective, and the political. All three areas are interrelated, but here I am most concerned with the personal. The message that women no longer have to look to men for their reason for being is com!ng ove_r loud and clear. That women should develop both a sens~ of confidence in themselves and a sense of responsibility to themselves is of the utmost importance. • ' What is even ~ore basic tha~ "equal rights" and "job equality," is the need for a certain degree of pride and dignity. These feelings must come from women themselves if we are to get the respect and treatment we wa~t. The age of the coy and fli~tatious female is gone. She is no longer desira_ble by ~n)'.one who_ feels disgust at such phony, superficial, insipid behavior. This, in fact; is perhaps the hardest battle in the movement today - ~ ot only m~st we overcome a male-dominated society, but we must cope with the brainwashed dizzy female as well. When women learn to re_sp~ct themselves as women and as human beings, the rest of the society will in turn be forced into acknowledging our presence as people rather than as objects.

(Molly Haskell, Village Voice). Jane Fonda, well-known actress and sex star, has lately come out of her self-a_bsorbed world and into the international political scene causing a c~rt_ain ~oncer~ amon~ members of the administration and other highly distingmshed figures in the political world. She has within the past few years, dev~lo1;>ed strong, if not outspoken, feelings about contemporary controversial issues - notably the role the United States has taken in the Indochinese affair. Miss Fonda went to school at Vassar for two years before she dropped out and went to live the Left Bank Life in Paris where she studied painting. After much persistent urging fr~m a dear friend, she returned to the United States to study acting. She returned to France, married Roger Vadirn, and continued her career as an actress for five years. Fonda made her decision to come back to the United States in 1968 when she viewed fihns of that horrifying night in Chicago when the police decided to vent their frustrations on the local long-hairs: "I felt a need to find out, to look for answers to what was happening to my own country. I felt remote and JANE FONDA ve~y curious about the mood that lot and ! was able to see the degree could have produced what I was to which growth was literally watching."

Although some of the pieces exhibited were made by area residents, many of the older quilts were made by their ancestors . Appliqued as well as pieced and patchworked quilts will be shown. "Pennsylvania Quilts" is designed to show quiltmaking as an art form. Since the very beginning, quilting and patchwork have been far removed from the closed world of the arts. It has generally been regarded as a handicraft. Many of the quilts are highly refined visual statements which demonstrates the unselfish sharing of new ideas for the beautification of practical items. Although quilting originated long before the landing of.the Mayflower, it did not flourish until after that time. The patchworked and appliqued quilt can truly·be considered an American art form. The recent revival of quiltmaking and the renewed respect and admiration for our quiltmaking heritage are a tribute to the artistry of American women.

It is true that we do have many fine institutions in the area which promote both popular and the "higher" cultural activities, but the area could use a boost in these areas. Governor Milton Shapp has a proposal which could be of great benefit to the area both economically an~ culturally. The governor has proposed that a state center for the fine arts be constructed near the Francis E. Walter dam not far from Wilkes- Barre. The center would be constructed on state owned land along the Lehigh River and would be a tribute to a II the fine aj ts, music, dance, painting, etc ., and to the rYa tion's Bicentennial. The proposed opening date of the center would be July Fourth, 1976. The state center has been proposed as the future summer home of such talented insti t ut ions as the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Pitt sburgh Ballet. This would open up new experiences to the people of not only the Wi I kes- Barre-Scranton area, but to the people of all Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Pocono Mountain area is presently a national tourist attraction and Wyoming Valley receives its share of the profits. The arts center would also be an influence in drawing more of the tourism , . industry to the area and cou Id help it economically. , But the center may never be built. There are many people in state government who are opposed to the construction of the center because it would cost the state over 35 million dollars. · Opponents to the plan claim that the state is already spending too much of the taxpayers' money and that a cultural center is not ne ded. ,Because of such feelings, the bill authorizing the funding and construction of the center may never even leave committee and come up before the legislature for a vote. \ )Jeaeon Ed itor-in-Chief .......... .... ...................................... .

Most noteworthy was the contrasting opinions of two members of the panel, Bruce Herschensohn, a White House assistant, and Robert Semple, a deputy national news editor of the New York Times. Herschensohn declared emphatically that a considerable bias exists on the part of the reporters who cover the Washington scene. This bias, favoring liberals and Democrats, prevails in the news media . . To obtain greater objectivity in the face of this bias, he suggested that each television newscast offer two opposing viewpoints in reporting the news, much like the William Buckley - John K. Galbraith debates at the 1972 Presidential conventions. Semple disagreed completely with Herschensohn's analysis, an opinion in which I concur. He acknowledged that there was some biased reporting, but on the whole, most newsmen were generally successful in their attempts at objectivity. The next panel discussion considered the formulation of U.S. foreign policy. A wide range of American foreign policy positions were discussed. The final panel addressed itself to the relations between the President and Congress. Included in this group was Rep. John Anderson of Illinois.

STUFFI' . �THE BEACON Page 4 Stevens Sets Art Exhibit Linda Stevens, a senior in the Wilkes College Department of Art, is shown working on one of her string constructions, which she will exhibit with other works at Conyngham Gallery from Sunday, April 28 to May 3. Miss Stevens is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Stevens, 381 Tioga Avenue, Kingston. After completing her studies at Wilkes, shw plans to obtain a degree in Art Librarianship from either the University of Maryland or Simmons College in Boston, where she has been accepted for graduate study. Included in the exhibit will be acrylic and oil paintings, pen and ink and pastel drawings, woodcut and linoleum block prints, plastic and metal plate intaglio prints, several of which are inkless, and ceramics. An unusual feature of the exhibit witl be Miss Stevens' works in the area of · geometric. string construction. In this art form, the ultimate design is created solely through the use of thread and nails and their strategic placement on a background or frame. The result is a highly intricate, colorful work. Included in the exhibit will be both two-dimensional and three-dimensional string constructions. LINDA STEVENS T~e exhibit will -open Sunday, Apnl 28, from 12 to 5. It will then run fro_m Monday, April 29, through Fnday, May 3, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The public is invited. JOHN BARRETT (from page I) tmctgets (to see where your activities fee goes), SG club funding, pending proposals, a student opinion section, committee reports, a series of explanations of what a confusing organization such as Judicial Council is, and reports of current administrative decisions - can all be presented. Unfortunately, SG has not spent enough time in the area of academic improvements. This must become the primary target. Some of the more significant changes I will advocate is a SG sponsored statistical teacher evaluation to be published yearly to assist students in selecting a teacher; an all-night coed location for those students wishing to study in the "offbeat" night hours; limited final exemption on an individual teacher-class basis; restoration of the college used bookstore; and finally, an updated grading system. Adjusting the grading from the standard 4, 3, 2, 1, to a 4.0, 3.7, 3.3, 3.0, 2.7, 2.3, 2.0, etc. corresponding to the A, A-, B+, B, B-, ·etc., will allow a fairer representation of the students ability. This would also guard against the common "just missed this or that grade syndrome" which has been the cause of some student's academic failings. The goals I have for SG are high-which they must be for any leader. No campus SG can work alone; the councils must work with SG to solve the specialized problems such as dorm problems or the parking problem. The classes must develop into the major sponsors of social activity. Student Government can only then become the vital link with faculty and administration it should be. Only then can SG readjust its priorities primarily as academic and secondarily to see that the activity fee is utilized to the maximum benefit of the students. I ask your support in bringing about these changes. Wilkes Assista11,t Profess Beats Astro,·iauts Milea Neil Armstrong used one Apollo rocket to propel his spacecraft 238,000 miles and become the first man to walk on the Moon. A Wilkes College assistant professor of economics used four automobiles and took 16 years to travel the same distance on earth! At least that's the way Assistant Professor George Gera, who travels a round-trip of 80 miles via Hazleton each day to the Wilkes College campus, figures his mileage from his home in Eckley, Pa. Like the traditional postman, Gera has not allowed rain, snow, or dark of night - he occasionally had a weekly class or two during those 16 years - to deter him from faithful attendance at classes. Only once, as George recalled, could he remember missing a class. And that time it wasn't his fault. It was an extremely icy night and road travel was virtually impossible. Gera isn't trying to grab off any publicity from the Apollo space program or the astronauts. He stumbled upon the fact that he had something in common, at least mileage-wise, when he was discussing the number of times he has covered the roadways between the Wilkes campus and Eckley. His department chairman, Dr. Robert Werner, was taken up by the terms 16 years - roundtrip five times a week - 80 miles total. Between the two of them they worked it out during a break in classes and discovered that Gera had covered slightly more miles than the first man to land on the Moon. "There was the regular school year, sometimes coming back for evening classes, and then going right through the SUITIIller," Gera explained. "It all adds up on you." The quiet, almost-shy professor did admit that he welcomes the change of seasons to provide at least "a little change in the routine." All in all, he confessed, he really doesn't mind it and has no plans to change the daily routine. "I'm on my fourth car right now," he explained. "It's a 1973 and unfortunately, a real gas-burner." Gera doesn't mind the kidding he has taken from colleagues in the Commerce and Finance Department about having surpassed the mileage feat of an astronaut on a Moon trip.

At the same moment Andy Shaw, who had been going over some records from the Wyoming Valley Flood Recovery Task Force, looked up and spotted the wreckage of homes spread over the flatlands of the southwestern Ohio suburbs of Xenia. "My God, they really got it hard," he said in a soft voice. And then we stared - seeing, but finding it hard to believe even though we had all seen tragedy in a slightly different disguise in Wyoming Valley. The closer we got to the path of the Hundreds of homes reduced to tornado had taken the more it matchstick proportions and the brought back memories that in later scene made even more bizarre by a discussions we agreed had been sprinkling of kitchen appliances thrust back into the depths of the which by some miracle were still human memory bank that is standing upright was the first reserved for things you would rather glimpse we got of the massive not dwell upon. destruction left by the killer tornado The sounds and sightings of that two weeks ago had knifed helicopters in the distance and the through Xenia, Ohio. eventual appearance of state police roadblocks, National Guard troops We were a three-man disaster on foot and in jeep patrols clearly recovery advisory team sent from identified the stretch where the Wilkes College with instructions tornado had erased hundreds of from President Francis J.

What had been fine, old buildings - many dating back to 140 years ago when the institution began as a simple academy for black children - were all showing varying degrees of ruin. Parts of educational structures had quarter and half sections gouged out by the force of th,e tornado. One part of the BY TOM MORAN campus that had been a spot of pride because of its cluster of century-old trees was leveled to the point that no evidence of what had been there existed, except for piles of branches and tree trunks. Three floors of a four-story administration building remained standing. It was almost as though fate had allowed one vital portion to remain as a necessary structure if those involved would dare to accept the challenge to rebuild. At the door we were greeted by Don Monks, director of development, and Mrs. Cassie Cook, director of the annual fund. We were ushered down a hallway that was dotted with signs pointing the way to various emergency needs, a makeshift canteen and into the office of President Rembert Stokes. Dean of Students Samuel Jackson, a former football star from Mississippi and a small, but powerful bundle of energy that was targeted toward getting Wilberforce back in action, was typical of all who were anxious to hear "anything you people can tell us that will show us the way." For four hours Andy Shaw, Tom Kelly and this writer contributed information and loaned them records that were accumulated during the recovery efforts of Wilkes College and Wyoming Valley. It is doubtful that any less formal meeting was ever held as all responded to the need for some.old, hard facts that could be quickly translated into action · that would help save the university. We had agreed to take a break in tne session at the university for the purpose of going into the heart of Xenia to confer with Robert Stewart city manager, and other city officfals who were set up on the first floor of the County office builping. That, too, had been battered atop by the tornado and the usual makeshift ·offices and canteens were set up. Here again the reception was one that was without formality and quickly moved to an exchange of information with everyone on a first name basis. The memories came back - the same early visit by President Nixon and the words of encouragement that included a directive to come back bigger and better and the promise that "we will see to it that you get everything you need." It sounded so familiar that it was a big like watching a rerun of an old horror movie that made you ponder over the possibilities of whether the ending this time would be any No Appoin_tment Necesst:!_J:.__ OUTLET .ARMY & NAVY 113 S.

Shaw's vast experience as executive director of the Flood Recovery Task Force and director of the Wilkes Institute of Regional Affairs, supplemented with more after-action reports and notes he had made on dealings with federal and state officials, were eagerly accepted by a still-shocked but functioning group of Xenia officials. Both at the university and at the city level it was Shaw's ability to describe the problems that he knew they were facing that quickly drew their attention to the importance and value of what the advisory team was bringing them. And Xenia has no shortage of problems. Two weeks after the tornado, they appeared to be only exploring or groping for the way out of their dilemma. From 40 to 60 per cent of their tax base had been wiped out. The public school system had lost so many of its buildings - botp of its senior high schools - that the children were rotating to classes ina few elementary buildings with three sessions daily, the last ending at 9 in the evening. . "Just what would you say is our first major concern," the city manager asked Shaw. "What sequence of moves would you recommend?" Shaw told him that with most of the homes destroyed in the heart of the town, the important thing was to convince people that they should not simply decide to never return. And in regard to this he told them to get their school system functioning as quickly as possible so that resident-victims would not have two problems to force them away - no homes·and no schools. Advice was given on the need to act quickly before a disaster somewhere else in the nation dimmed the public spotlight on th problems that need immediate attention if Xenia is to be saved. He reminded them of the need to push their state and federal legislators for immediate financial assistance. And he told them to lend their support to the bill introduced by Congressman Dan Flood and Senators Hugh Scott and_ Richard Schweiker for a National Catastrophic Disaster Bill. The nee~ ~or setting up a local group, similar to the Flood Recovery Task Force, was cited and Shaw provided the operational table for the formation of such a group a suggestion that was immediately seized upon by the city manager who expressed concern over independent groups which were springing up FULL SE'RVICE AUQIO :$TOR!l: STEREO SHACK RECORDS 8c TAPES l J\ BLVE SELECTION PIERCE INTOWN KINGSTON P. 1tANs Two Off Camous Bookstores ... • Bamee • Nobel Collep Outline Serln • FlaD Line of Sc:hool BQJlllllfl • Carda ud Gifb for All Oc:culoat DE-EM ER'S Student Accounts Available FLAIRS STRAIGHT .i.EG WIDE BELLI BAGGIES NAVY BELL& SEASON'S SPORT SH 96 South Main Street, Wilkes Barre, Pa.

In addition, the Wilkesmen will face Scranton on enemy turf. The Blue and Gold netmen escaped with a hard fought 5-4 victory earlier this year against the Royals at home. For the golfers of Coach Roland Schmidt, the early weeks of the season have not exactly been blessed with happiness. Although he has some tremendous talent, his duffers haven't quite put it together yet. All is not lost though. With the lack of an adequate pre-season practice in this area due to the weather, the Blue and Gold golfers have been known to start slowly, and peak in time for the MAC tournament which is being held this coming Monday in Willow Grove, Penna. Larry Gurnari and Mark Jarolen are proven veterans, although they are only sophomores. If Schmidt can get capable performances out of his duo, and find another adequate twosome to place in the upper half of the competition, the Colonels could surprise a lot of people.

It looked for a while as if the Colonels would breeze through ti:J.eir MAC rivals with very little trouble, in view of their early season performances against Stevens Tech, Delaware Valley, and Elizabethtown.

Craig Austin, who played on the same high school team as Winter in Boonton, New Jersey, has not done all that bad, rifling in 14 goals thus far this season, and complementing them with six assists. His six goals in the Miami win tied him with teammate Gary Geischen for the single game high on the Wilkes team. Geischen, who has never been short of self-confidence, had his six goal game against the St. Mary's stickmen, to give him 16 goals and two assists on the campaign, not including yesterday's contest with Haverford. Along with Winter and Geishen, junior Bob Armstrong has given Coach Chuch Mattei one of the most ir,1i,1 .._:,61ve starting attacks in the entire Middle Atlantic Conference. Armstrong, a West Caldwell, New Jersey resident, has six goals and five assists to his credit, which is quite impressive considering the outstanding play of his other two front line teammates. Last season's leading scorer for the Blue and Gold was midfielder Vinnie Krill, but the scoring burden has been taken off of his shoulders this year and he has been able to play a better all-round game. Still, his four goals and two assists in the team's MAC contests is nothing to laugh at; he is tenth in the conference in scoring.

The .Bicenntenial of the United States is but two year.s away with programs planned in most states to celebrate thfs momentous occasion. In the almost two-hundred years that the United States has been an independent entity in the international community, the land and people have changed immensly. We are no longer a primarily rural society with the majority of the population of English ancestry, bl.it one of the world's most industrialized nations with a multi-ethnical population of 200 million. The nation has gone from a colonial outpost of European powers to a super power second to none. All this and more was accomplished in just two-hundred years! Despite the progress made in so many areas, the nation is still faced by many problems. Pollution and poverty are only two of the problems which remain to be solved today. Corruption is to be found in government on all levels and that freedom and equality for which the founding fathers fought is still something which is denied to some segments of our society. Yes, we have made mistakes as well as wise decisions in our history as a nation, but we are just beginning. We have finished two-hundred years and we are beginning two-hundred more. We, the Classes of 1974, '75, '76 and '77, are the classes of the Bicenntenial Era. The future depends on how each and, every one of us works. In this Bicenntenial Era, ~et us rededicate ourselves to the revolutionary spirit which moved our fore-fathers and work to solve the problems facing us. Let us dedicate ourselves to making this nation even greater and providing the equality and freedom for which the colonists fought to every meo,ber of our society. The future is ours and with work and dedication and perserverance, we can make The United States better. . Beacon Editor-in-Chief . . . . . . .. . . . . . . Co-Managing Editors . . .. . .

Golfers Fi,iish 13th MAC Tour1ia1ne1it I,, The Wilkes College golf team failed in their bid for a MAC golf crown last weekend, when they finished 13th out of 23 teams at the conference confab at Hidden Springs Golf Club in Willow Grove, Pa. The Colonels totaled a 668 for 36 holes of action, which was well behind the impressive 615 victory sum of Moravian College. The Greyhounds edged out a three stroke win over little Muhlenberg College, who finished the competition with a 618 score. Finishing third was Scranton University, while Lebanon Valley placed third. Capturing individual medal honors at the two day event was Ed Karpovich, a duffer from Scranton. Karpovich tallied a 146 during the 36 holes of action. Best performance by a Wilk(sman was turned in by sophomore Larry Gurnari, who tallied a 154, which was four strokes short of any medal plaudits. Other Blue and Gold results were a 166 by another sophomore, Mark Jarolen, a 168 by freshman Al Mastalski, and a 180 by Bob Dwyer. It has been a fruitless campaign for the Wilkes golf team, but Coach Roland Schmidt fully realizes that he'll have almost his entire squad returning in tack next season, and can take great pleasure in glancing toward the future. �Page 8 THE BEACON BEACON SPORTS GRANDINETTI TOP ATHLETE * Female * * Aw~, * *r.d Goes * * To*Donna * * Doncses * * . .

Diamo·ndmen Still Hopeful crlli~:f~:!~::Pf::;a: ~1i!!r.: It's 'Do-Or-Die' For The Wilkes Stickmen The Wilkes College lacrosse team must register a win this Saturday afternoon against Western Maryland to remain undefeated and to hold top spot in the MAC competition. Last year the Wilkes stickmen were outscored by Western Maryland 16-7 which was only one of their two losses of the year. The other was against Kutztown State by a goal who the Colonels meet next week. This week the squad scored two crushing victories hammering Muhlenburg College 19-5 and Lebanon Valley 20-5 at Ralston Field. Against Muhlenburg, Bill Winter, Vinnie Krill and Gary Geishen did the damage in the Colonel's home debut. Winter showed the home crowd his amazing quickness and flashy stickhandling as he fired in four goals and added six assists. Midfielder Krill who has been performing consistantly each game, dodged many Muhlenburg defenders to get three goals and six assists. Creaseman Gary Geischen was very impressive, accounting for a big five goals. Also, big John Malatras fired in three goals along with Bob Armstrong, who Gad two goals and one assist. John Baron and Bob Kalaka added one goal apiece. Monday, the lacrosse team made it seven consecuti-ve wins by overpowering Lebanon Valley College 20-5. Although the Colonels scoring has been dominating this year, the spotlight should be directed toward the defense in the Lebanon Valley contest. Junior goalie Don Mock has been playing extremely well all year, holding his ground between the posts. Defenseman Jeff Grandinetti had the top defensive game as he and senior Rick Lorenzen kept Lebanon attackers in check throughout the game. Grandinetti, who added a goal became an offensive threat as he barreled up the field through Dutchman defenders. During this game, as well as all year long, the defensemen have been responsible for the Colonel success, clearing the ball well and starting fast breaks. Vince Krill again tur another all around effort three goals and two assists Captain Steve Coleman f · goals. Gary Geishen had 3g one assist, while Craig Dea Jeff Grandenetti added each.

The poem, on the one hand, contains a strong sense of man as a fall~n creature, as one who wears his accomplishments and visions like armor to protect his feeble naked self. In order to break through this shield the speaker assumes the role of both predator and lover. The metaphor of the fishing hook which opens the poem establishes the speaker's aim to treat man as prey, and - in doing so to render him helpless so that he might reveal himself. But in the third stanza a shift begins to occur. From there he pursues the possibility of liberating man through an examination of the basic paradoxes which make up . the human condition. The speaker concludes that man is both chained to his history and his visions and confronted by a future of " nowhere's farthest shore. " Thus, he sees the need for man to assume the responsibility for his own agony and joy and to celebrate himself in terms by William Mistichelli, which provide the possibility of the place of Jesus's crucifixion, is heroic stature. personified.

There ~re several other poem s worthy of note in this year's selection. Karen Toslosky's untitled poem contains some striking lines. Her portrait of someone eating sweets in his sorrow pinpoints the major emphasis of the poem which is on the human hunger for love which lingers but is never satisfied. Judi Keats' poem demonstrates a fresh and delicate sense of landscape. Bob Klein's " Icicle" presents a sustained picture of a frozen world in which the speaker's tears represent the only sign of . warmth. And Lauren O'Hara's characterization of the madness of big city dwellers centers around her poignant observation about their hellish love of discord. �May Page 2 THE BEACON Editorially Speaking -·· Dear Baby, You seem to be drumming up publicity more for women's lib than calling attention to the "lowest paid workers" who are being let go.

The year was marred by the death of the college's first President, Dr. Eugene S. Farley. An institution in himself, Farley will be sorely missed by the many people he touched during his lifetime. Little or nothing was done about the parking problem which has constantly plagued commuting ~tudents. Many plans and procedures were suggested by the administration and student governing bodies; however, very little effective relief has come out of the plans. Parking remains as one of the major problems on campus. A major shakeup in reg!stration procedures eased this task, considerably. At one time a three to four hour µroject, registration time by a student for the upcoming semester, has been cut in half. It was a banner year for nearly all of the college's athletic teams. Leading the way. for the athletic bandwagon were Coach John Reese's wrestlers who walked away with the college's first national title, a Division 111 wrestling championship. Certainly not far behind the grapplers were Coach Rodger Bearde's basketball team. Playing a sticky brand of defense, the Colonel cagers rolled to a 20-win season and a berth in the ECAC post season classic.

Arthur Hoover, advisor to Commuter Council, and Mike Stambaugh, president of Commuter Council, met with the Parking Authority of Wilkes-Barre to discuss the parking rates for students at Park-and-Lock South. The members of the Parking Authority agreed to a decrease in the monthly parking rate for students at Wilkes College from $15 a month to $10 a month. This decrease is for the monthly rate, whereby a sticker is affixed to the car, allowing a person to park any time in Park-and-Lock during the time periud of the sticker. There was one stipulation, however. To make the rate effective and applicable to students at Wilkes, at least 150 students are needed to qualify Wilkes College for this special rate. Consequently, Commuter Council needs the support of the student body at Wilkes to push this decrease through. If students are interested, day or dorm students, please fill out the form below and return it to your Commuter Council representative, the Commuter Council office in Weckesser, or drop it in the Commuter Council mailbox in the Bookstore. The student support in this matter is vital as ameans to alleviate the parking situation at Wilkes. Deadline for submitting this form is the last day of classes, Friday, May 10. If the support of the students is effective, this rate will go into effect in September of this year.

Although this letter is addressed to the three presidents of the major campus organizations, it applies equally and is directed to t>very class and club officer, every committee chairman, and every student who worked on behalf of his College and his fellow students to make college a more meaningful experience. Student leadership is a difficult responsibility, unique compared to others we experience in life. Rarely must we deal with decisions affecting our peers_with whom we live, work, and play. The pressure is to do the expedient rather than what may be more responsible in the perspective of students who will follow you and the institution that must continue to serve them and future generations. I need not list your accomplishments or the lasting impact they will have on this campus. Many of them are obvious, some more subtle. However, I know personally from my relationship with all of you how you have sometimes suffered and yet never wavered in the fulfillment of the responsibilities that were yours. I salute you and all of the student leadership of the clubs, organizations, and publications who have labored - each in your own way - to make Wilkes College a more fulfilling experience. I will treasure my friendship with you and join with all members of the faculty and administration in wishing you continued success in your future life. I am sure the experience of leadership you· enjoyed as students will have a lasting impact on the contributions you will make in the larger communities in which you will live and work. Our year at Wilkes, now drawing to a close, has seen many administrative challenges met as well. Our Learning Center construction program, the continuing Flood Recovery program, and the program to meet the latest Department of Labor and Industry standards have contributed to fiscal problems of capital financing Wlique to any institution of higher education. As we confront these problems however, it is still secondary to the effort that has gone into curriculum evaluation by the faculty and the continuing emphasis on the quality of the living and learning environment. Wherever responsibility is given or shared, success and failure will ensue in varying degrees. Our work with you as student leaders and with all students in general, as we share concerns and objectives has been mutually productive and will, I hope, be characteristic of your successors. Again may I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for your dedication to your College and your understanding and patience at times when it was most needed. . . Su~cere~yi Francis J. Mic~ehm President This year was marked with the tragic death of a Wilke's first President, Eugene S. Farley, who put forth a tremendous effort at Wilkes College and in Wyoming Valley. He will be remembered as a great leader and educator. , To sit and attempt to evaluate a year of the best and a year worst is difficult. The task is compounded when one faces the end of a four year life time. I am now to comment on the past, the present and the future of an organization that I have worked with for the last four years and guided, hopefu).ly well over the ups and dowr,s of the past ten months. A government which stands alone does not stand. Inter Dormitory Council is not composed of 30 odd individuals, but rather the wants and needs of some 650 unified students. Have we served our purpose to our fellow students, to our college, to ourselves? The answer is a qualified no! But in the same respect, we are forced to ask ourselves, are we only here to improve social conditions? Are we the one's who must make the unbearable weekends bearable? Again the answer is no. We are forced to be the governing body that is responsive to our fellow students needs. We have succeed,d in improving the social aspects of Wilkes, but in the same· breath we have failed ourselves and our friends in improving the conditions under which we learn and live. Attempts at final immunity have failed, attempts at grading reforms have been lost in committees, attempts at teacher evaluation to benefit the student and the faculty member have been side tracked. I speak now not only . as the past president of a major student organization, but as a person. A student who has rights and feelings. A student who we have failed. During the course of the past year, we have worked internally. We started to set up an office that functions; office hours, files, executive council meetings, Council of Dormitory Presidents meetings and active participation with our advisors. But still we must face reality. The reality that part of our duty has not been fulfilled. The pattern for the future is always simple and always easily outlined. John Ruskin wrote "When we build, let us think that we build for ever." So now I ask that you, you the future, think and build for ever. Don't become irresponsive of your fellow students, don't back down from a position, don't yield under adversity, don't say that you can't change the system. You are responsible for knowing what is going on, you are responsible for transfering that knowledge to others, you are responsible for change. · As I leave, I end with one thought; Government and cooperation are in all things laws of life; :he government that governs least does not govern. It exists. Thar.k you and good luck. Prior to this presidential position I 'l'o summarize th2 events was your average run of the mill happenings around campus 11 student organizer.

That was Fred Murty's response after reporting that he finished among the top 12 in the 176-pound class at the National AAU Judo Championships conducted April 24 to 28 at Phoenix, Ariz. There was a four-way tie for sixth place, according to Murty, a Scranton resident who represented the Wilkes College Judo Club in th~ event. Fred recorded two full-point wins and two losses. There were 80 participants in the division and Fred was the only Brown Belt to place in the top 30. He placed ahead of about 60 Black Belts, which is a higher rank in Judo competition. The division champion was Irwin Cohen of Chicago, Ill., who also emerged as grand champion of the tournament and received the best technique award. "Cohen knocked me out of the competition in my third round by defeating me in the last 20 seconds of the contest," said Murty. "It says a lot for a Brown Belt to go 4:40 with Irwin Cohen. He was a 1972 Olympian and he was first in the nation three times and grand champion once. He's a fourth degree Black Belt, which is five , . r anks hi~her than I." Murty, son of Mr. and Mrs. William McCann, 1347 Penn Ave., already is eyeing the 1975 championships to be held at Fresno1 Calif. He plans to work during the summer with Dick Walters, a Pan-American Gold Medalist from Ocean City, N.J. Fred said all the training really helped in this year's championships, along with the prayers from a lot of his friends. The sophomore was extremely grateful to the Student Government, who ctided him tremendously in making the trip to the AAU tournament. With performances like these, it would be our guess that SG will be more than happy to aid him again next year, as he continues his never-ending quest to be the best in an enormously difficult sport. .-----------------------------, L---------------------------- Finest Season In Their History Nears Finish By Net Squad lt"s been quite a year for the Hlue and l~old netmen. They've very inconspicuously built themselves into probably the most productive tennis team in Wilkes College's history, winning six matches compared to only a single defeat at last count, with a chance for two more victories before they close out their campaign on Saturday. Number one singles player Dave Meckbach has not had as good a year as many expected, but senior John Derbin and super frosh Judd Davis have picked up the slack performing out of the two and three singles positions, &nd the results speak for themselves. Gone unheralded on the net squad has been the play of doubles unit l.iary Paich and Hob Dombrowsb. The duo have not lost a match the entire season, and it was their victories that iced both of the big wins over Scranton University earlier in the campaign.

Before the season had begun, expectations ran high.

Holding him on is Jack Keller. The Colonels split two games with the Indians, and did the same the following week against Scranton to scratch their chances of copping the MAC title this year. When the Wilkes diamondmen opposed Delaware Valley early in the season, people· said Jhat the victor would be the favorite to head the Middle Atlantic Conference race when the '74 campaign came to a close. Well, the Colonels won handily. Then they said the winner of the late April meeting between the Blue and Gold and Upsala College would be the best bet to ·cop league honors. The Vikings prevailed in that contest 4-3, and all of a sudden, the fight for the flag was a free for all. Along the way, Philadelphia Textile picked up some important victories and was rated as the favorite in the season's waning days. But alas! Textile dropped a 14-12 shoot 'em up to the Wilkesmen last Saturday, and no one, but no one was really the MAC champ. Could it be Upsala, the scrappy squad from East Orange, New Jersey, who at last count had a 4-3-1 --record? (Don't ask us-how they got a tie). Or would the new MAC champ be Philadelphia Textile who was 7-3 if you didn't include their losses to Northern Division teams?

Nixon raises many questions to a 11 Americans. The dilemma now facing us is whether any one man is above the law. We Americans have prided ourselves over the fact that all men are equal before the law in our great nation. We have taken this fact for granted for many years. Some people began to question this in the late 1960's. Young Americans and thinking people elsewh-ere in the world pointed to the injustices of our judicial system as proof that this was not true. Watergate appeared on the scene in 1972 and many waited to see the outcome of the investigations. f\s a resu It of investigations and hearings, several of Nixon's closest aides were implicated and brought to trial, and many of them are, or soon will be, serving prison sentences. President Nixon's resignation was the eventual outcome of the affair, after he revealed that he had known about the cover-up much earlier than he had previously admitted . Even in resignation, Mr. Nixon did not really admit to any guilt. He simply resigRed on the - basis that his power had been eroded and he was no longer able to govern effectively. President Ford's granting of immunity is a good and merciful act, but it has come too soon. Perhaps if Mr . Nixon accepted some of the guilt instead of laying it at others' feet, mercy would be acceptable, but Mr. Nixon was a believer in law and order. He believed that the criminal should be prosecuted. To grant him full immunity and pardon now, while others under him pay the price, is only to show that all men are not equa I before the law; some men are more equal. What we as Americans must decide is whether or not all men should be equal. The nation was founded on this idea and to abandon it now would be an admission that our system does not work. Justice must be tempered with mercy, but only after justice has been served . Beaeon P ho toq r ap h c r . .

" Although we're more conservative in thought, we are kept on our toes and do change with the times." "I also feel," said D~an Hobrock, "that much of the success at Wilkes comes from a young, enthusiastic administration willing to listen to the students." The Hobrocks not only share their enthusiasm and vitality at Wilkes, but express it in their everyday lives. Both enjoy boating, skiing, and gardening ( where they grow their own vegetables and do their own canning). John Hobrock is currently working on his PH.D. at Binghamton State, which also keeps him busy in addition to his regular duties.

In the past. both the local colleges had utilized the park for IM purposes, and were hard put to come up with a solution, now that the facility had been closed. As school started a week ago, even the most optimistic students had given up hope to taking to the grid iron in '74. But "old reliable", Joe Skvarla, the director of the intramural program here at Wilkes wouldn't say die. He was finally able to obtain use of Ralston Field, and intramural football will go as scheduled. There will be a few changes in store however. Most noteworthy of the alterations is the abandonment of two-hand touch football and a changeover to flag. Flag football involves each player wearing a belt with two thin flags attached to the sides. Instead of tagging the ball carrier with both hands, as had been the method in the past, the defender must now remove one of the flags attached to his belt. With the games being shifted to Ralston Field, the number of contests will be held down to one per day, with the starting time scheduled for 4 P.M. The season will begin on Monday, September 23, and conclude right before Thanksgiving br~k. All team rosters are to be handed in by Wednesday, September 18. Skvarla also announced that anyone interested in officiating some of the grid contests this season, should contact him immediately, at the gymnasium or at his office in Weckesser Annex. Fall Practice For Diamondmen Head baseball coach Gene Domzalski has announced that he will hold fall evaluation practice beginning September 16, at 3:30 P.M. in the gymnasium. Candidates for the team will meet at the gym, but practices will be held at the new Coal Street recreational complex. Domzalski began fall practice sessions last year and was very pleased with the results. It gives him a opportunity to speculate on the new players, as well as getting an added glance at his seasoned veterans. While on the subject of baseball, Colonel pitching sensation Jimmy Stahle, who was also a center-linebacker for Coach Rollie Schmidt's gridders, has decided to pre-empt his football career in favor of baseball. The fireballing lefthander has a great pitching career ahead of him, and would prefer to concentrate entirely on one sport, rather than dividing his time between two. With pitching coach Bob Duliba helping him develop a great breaking ball, and his control showing rapid improvement, Jimmy is going to be heard from for quite some time to come. Ten Years Of Waiting !<'or the past ten years, we've been carrying on a love affair with a loser. She wasn't always a loser however. When we first met her, there wasn't a thing that could compare to her . She had it all, and people were proud to know her. But age and bad luck caught up with her and she went from riches to rags. The people that had once flocked to her doorstep, were now pursuing their interests elsewhere. But we di~ not abandon her. We suffered when she suffered, and we smiled when she showed signs of rejuvination. For ten years, we stayed by her side, and waited patiently. In case you haven 't already guessed, that loser was the New York Yankees, and she has finally risen out of the depths of defeat and are in the midst of an exciting pennant .race in the American League East. Their rise to the top may be only momentary or it may be the start of , a new era, but for those of us who have had nothing to brag about when · others were mouthing off about their "miracle Mets," or their "fabulous Fightin' Phils", it is characteristic of a heaven on earth. The only thing that irritates us, are all of the people who are suddenly claiming they have been lifelong Yankee fans. It's true that everybody loves a winner , but where were these "devoted" fans the past decade.

Instead, they will have to take a first in the Division III championships, to earn a right to wrestle in the big one. This year's Division III tournament will be held at John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio.

Anyone interested in becoming a Football or Soccer Manager is asked to please contact one of the coaches at Ralston l<'ield immediately! -- "We must develop a new solid . defense and if we can 'jell' our returning letterwinners and new people, we should be able to develop a scoring offense as well. How hard the girls work will determine this!" These are a few of the pre-season comments of Colonelettes field hockey mentor, Mrs. Gay Meyers. After only a few practices, the team, returning from a "lazy" sumn'ier, seems to be shaping up quite well and should soon be back into the swing of things. Returning after only one year's experience, Diane Jones, Nancy Roberts and Kim Flis, all letterwinners, will be counted on to lead the defense. Early practice indicates that several people will be pushing for starting defensive positions. They are Debbie Titus, Sue Ann Knight, Jean Johnson and Sue Roman. The offensive line needs some aggressive punch and hopefully, returning sophomore Penny Bianconi and junior Barb Long, playing for the first time, can help fill the scoring gap left by the graduation of last year's captain, Donna Doncses. Members of the 1974 Wilkes field hockey team are: Seniors, Ellen Schwartz, Angela Centrella and Marivita Saleski, all letterwinners; juniors, Nancy Roberts, Diane Jones, Susan Funke, Debbie Titus, letterwinners; Charmaine Broad and Barb Long, first year; Sophomores, Penny Bianconi, Kim Flis, both letterwinners; Nancy Mathers and Sue Ann Knight, first year. Other new players include Coreen Santoro, a transfer student from College Misericordia; Jean Johnson, who played for Lake-Lehman; Nancy Kuren, a former hockey player from Vestal, New York; Karen Olney, an experienced player from Masuk High School, Monroe, Connecticut; Sue Serio, Margaret Peleko, a former member of Coughlin's hockey team; and Virginia Kloer, who played for Meyers. Debbie Davis, also from Meyers, incun·ed a knee injury during the first week of practice but hopes to be back soon. ' Graduated player, Gayle Kimback who returned to Wilkes this sem~ster for student teaching, is ineligible to play, but is volunteering her time and experience in aiding with the team. The Colonelettes will open their 1974 season on Saturday, September 21, with a contest against the Wyoming Valley Club. FOOTBALL (From Page 8) Wilkes appears to have quite an edge over the rest of its Northern Division competition · in the MAC, but Susquehanna, Delaware Valley and Juniata are all capable of 1 pulling off an upset, if the Colonels · let up. Unlike last season, when t)le Blue and Gold seemed to win games on defense alone, '73 is a whole new ball game. If they expect to win their first conference crown in five years, and perhaps a shot at the NCAA Division III championship, they'll need more than just defense alone, and more than just an explosive offense. They will need a complete team effort from everyone who '74 CO-CAPTAINS Flankerback Bill Horan and Linebacker Terry Blaum takes the field for Wilkes in '74; from have bee;; named co-captains of this year's grid squad.
