The administration does not sit in Weckesser Hall all day and drink coffee, as some people would believe. In the Commuter Council dealings with the Parking Authority and the Luzerne County Transportation Authority, Mr. Art Hoover has played a very important part in acquiring student rates at Park-andLock South and on the L. C. T.A. bus lines. I . would like to extend my ·deep appreciation for all the time and energy he devoted to the pursual of these rates . I would also like to especially thank Mi II ie Gittens, manager of the bookstore and Mrs. Burke who have agreed to handle the sale of the bus tokens with no thought of personal reimbursement. Also to be commended are Mr. Thomas Moran and the Beacon, who helped us so much in getting pub I icity out on these rates, Mr. Andrew Shaw, who provided us '.Nith essential information on the Parking Authority, and last but certainly not least Dr. Michelini, who acted as a vital link between the L. C. T . A. and Commuter Council, and who lent his support on the students' behalf. Also, Dean Capin should be noted for taking the time to explain to the student lead~rs the financial plight of the college and reasons for some termination notices sent to the faculty. Dean Capin has done this in order that the student leaders may exp la in to the student body the position of the college on these affairs. For this, I think he is to be commended. If 't here are others I have forgptten to note, it is because space is short and my memory not too long. However, after reading this, I hope the students at Wilkes will , take a more lenient stance in their opinion of the administration. Sincerely yours, Mike Stambaugh C. C. President The Wilkes College Concert and Lecture Series opens its 1974-75 season tonight at 8 p.m. with an "Evening of Blues and Jazz with Count Basie and His Orchestra." The famed musician-bandleader and his orchestra will appear in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts . . William "Count" Basie, a bandleader for 25 years, was born in Red Bank, New Jersey, in 1904. He played the piano since childhood, studying first with his mother. After working arow1d New York with Sonny Greer and June Clark, he went to work with a theater unit and became involved in silent movies. He joined Walter Page's Blue Devils and later, Benny Moten, whose band he took over when Moten died in 1935. Except for the period 1950-51 when Basie led a swinging sextet, he has led a big band continuously for two and a half decades. He has gained a global reputation for his undying allegiance to the beat. The Basie Band has won its share of honors. " Esquire" Silver Award, "Downbeat" Readers' Poll, "MetroBY DONNA M.

The Beacon would also like to commend those others who helped make these things possibl~the administration at Wilkes and the many others involved. Hopefully their work will serve as an example for ·more work by the student organizations at Wilkes College. Social Life One of the biggest comp la in.ts heard on the Wilkes campus the past few- years was that there was nothing to do. Social life was dead according to many students. That began to change last year . The 1973-74 academic year saw social life at Wilkes beginning to blossom . The Poconq Downs parties were just one aspect of this change . This year is starting off with a bang. The Freshman Orientation committee staged a very successful dance, during the orientation activities. The dance was well attended by both . Freshmen and upperclassmen and elicited a . good response. This has been followed by a campus picnic and this weekend by two more events; a film festival and a hayride. Add to these the work of the Concert and Lecture Series committee and one has quite a selection of activities. If the activities now being held and · those planned for the immediate future are an example of what is to come throughout this year, there shou ld be few complaints . The only people who will compl a in are those wh o don't attend them and if the y don't bother to take advantage of wha t is offered, then they should not comp lai n at a ll. ,- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - -- -- - -----7 Beaeon E d itor i n Chief Co-M ~naging Editors A nd y Pet yak . .. . . ....

Dr. Eugene L. Hammer noted that this diversity, which educates the student in culture oriented fields in addition to · ·Western Europe and American History, is not only occurring throughout the state, but nationwide as well. Some historians' are expressing disdain over this type of program because they feel a student in History should be versed in as much history curriculum as possible. On the other hand educators counter by saying that History majors involved with public school teaching have no real use for a heavy concentration in History and for employment opportunities are better qualified with these wider range of courses. Nevertheless, this latter view has gained nationwide attention and it presently prevails at Wilkes. Both Dr. Hammer and Dr. Leach are very much concerned with this ·certification of Wilkes students and to date are ironing out the degree and certification difficulties in each student's individual case. No particular person .or group can be considered the cause of this problem and so far most students affected have consulted with Dr. Hammer, who understands the premature excitement with students involved, and will work in every possible way to clarify the procedures in order to ensure proper teaching certification in social studies. · ~~~~og~~~~~~s,an!h~o~ =::::~::::::.............:.:.:.:.::.:.:.:.;.;.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.;.;;.:.:~3> -•:···•.difflBJ.•zs.;.3,r :;::••fou:;:: : : show photographs from the lnternational Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House.

Hayakawa It is a wonderful thing to be a teacher . Parents entrust their children to you, full of hope that you are going to do wonderful tl\ings for them. Young men and women of high school and college age turn to you, seeking a mentor and guide. A teacher forms attitudes and shapes lives. What he or she says in the classroom is often remembered 10, 20, 45 years later. The other day in an airplane a stranger in his 50's came to me and introduced himself as one of . my former students at Illinois Institute of Technology in 1942, now a successful mining engineer . Before we landed, he placed a letter in _my hands telling me at length how important my course in semantics of 30 years ago had been · in his intellectual development. Teachers, besides teaching grammar and arithmetic a nd civics and geography, teach many other things not stated in the curriculum. The girls in the 10th grade wa tch Miss Cohen intently because she is charming and elegant. From her they learn not only to appreciate the poetry of Walt Whitman. They also learn how to coordinate suit and shoes and purse and how to remain self-assured and gracious under pressure.

'. The Feminine Viewpoint Helps in B usiness World The basic suspicion of women executives is still as deeply rooted as racial prejudice. Many women, often forced to be hired because of laws and pressure groups - not for their own sakes, are fighting their way into top positions through education - their goal and passport :-- a Masters degree in Business Administration \ is $14,500.

The administration met with each individual department chairman, then the administration made the decisions about certain areas in the curriculum. Underpopulated sections in many subject areas were either consolidated or cancelled. The courses themselves were not revised. The political science program was revamped, but as yet no political science teachers were hired. Out of those 30 inter-tenure teachers, eight of them were given tenure. Three teachers were offered chairmanship of a particular department. sufficiently sophisticated questions the minute you open your mouth, no one's going to think you're out to waste their time."

They asswne the firm would never hire a woman unless she were special." Of the women interviewed the general conclusion seemed to be that the most important step was the MBA.

'·Teachers don't give a damn about us." And this is happening a t a time when psychological theorists and schools of education are fervently preaching the docti ine that students learn best only when they feel that teachers really care for them a nd are personally concerned for them. The tea c hers ' strike in San Francisco started as part of a municipal wor ker s strike that affected all city employees. Local 261 of the laborers union, to whi ch a ttenda nts of the San Francisco Zoo belong, did not go on strike, but many members did not wish to cross the picket lines of striking municipal workers. So they were in effect also on strike. Nevertheless, more than half of the 28 members of the Local 261 employed at the zoo worked without pay, from 2 to 8 hours a day, in order to feed the animals.

Brian Boston, editor-in-chief, welcomed the group and introduced fac ulty advisor Dr. Robert Heaman, assistant editor Jim Space and art editor Terri Williams to the new members. The Manuscript is a literary publication presented to Wilkes students in the spring of every year. It contains poetry, prose and art work created by students of Wilkes and not restricted by Manuscript membership. Policies of the organization were explained in full, along with an orientation to the club's series of classical films shown throughout the school year. The next upcoming film is Vittorio De Sica's " The Bicycle Thief" scheduled Tuesday, September 24th. Manuscript submissions can be given to any club member or put in the Manuscript submission box on the first floor of Be~ford Hall. It wili then be discussed and voted on while the author remains anonymous. In addition, several members agreed to lend their cooperation in creating new shows for the Manuscript Society's radio program entitled " Manuscript Presents." It features selected poetry, prose or essays and is heard Sundays at 11 a.m. on Wilkes College radio WCI-I. Anyone interested in doing a program is asked to contact one of the editors for information and STUDENT TEACHERS-Through the ages music and art have come to be universally known and have lent assistance. themselves to be versatile in nature. Workshop Instituted By Howes And Trost BY CHUCK·RIECHERS A workshop session sponsored by the Interdormitory Council and clirected by IDC President Bob Howes produced a slate of numerous suggestions and ideas for possible student activities dw·ing the upcoming semesters. Ideas totaled about ninety for a weekend winter carnival when about thirty participants concerned themselves solely with organizing a carnival. IDC representatives and officers were aided in their endeavor by a small contingent of officers and representatives from Commuter Council and Student Government. The encounter-like session was held on the McClintock lawn Sunday afternoon and lasted about three and one half hours. The session began with a self-awareness excercise to acquaint participants with themselves. Each participant for the next exercise chose someone they didn't know from the group and studied each other silently. Partners were then described in one word with reasons given for the descriptions. Participants then gathered into groups of four, later eight to ten , people. The task of reviewing a series of statements and arriving at , a group consensus was assigned. If no consensus of opinion was reached statements were reworded so that all could agree. Assigned observers watched how each group performed and discussed with each group what they learned about the group's structure and operational methods. A brainstorming session followed. Everyone attempted to generate as many ideas as possible on how to ' ~~~~~:es ~~~J~k t~:re an~a7~~ number compared with those obtained from the other groups. The same technique was applied to actual practical problems of what activities would be a part of a weekend carnival. Ideas were generated. The result was more productive than last semester. JDC As a result of this, more and more college students are involving themselves in these fields and Wilkes College is no different with 23 students who will do their student teaching in those related fields. Among the students who will pursue their certification in the field of music are, from left to right, first row : Judith Zola, Kingston; Mary Leaser, Ashley; Teresa Cavallini, Mocanaqua; and Rita Celusniak, Dupont. Second row: Joanne Bonanne, New Brunswick, N.J.; Lucinda Walter, Factoryville; Debra Schonfeld, Wilkes-Barre; Mary Lou Miller, Sidney, N.Y. Third row: William Gasbarro, chairman of the Music Department; Bruce Frederick, Luzerne; Joel Jones, Wilkes-Barre; Theodaore Dennis, Wilkes-Barre; and Harold Hoover, Orange. had then attempted to sponsor a winter carnival and failed. Finally behavior styles such as shyness and outspokenness were discussed and participants explained why they felt they possessed such traits. Many of the participants reacted favorably and felt the activities were worthwhile when asked for their opinion. One felt the final activity should not have been included since it in his opinion did not enhance the program. One noted that a chance existed for IDC, SG and CC cooperation and recommended that these three organizations should work together. The format of the workshop was designed by IDC President Bob Howes and IDC Vice-President Tom Trost. Inspirations for sponsoring the activity resulted from their recent attendance at nationwide residence hall council conference in Illinois. Eleven students will s·tudent teach in the art field this fall from Wilkes College. Those students participating are, left to right, first row: Paula Pinter, Allentown; Sharon Johnson, Wilkes-Barre; Carol J. Reich, Newburgh, N.Y.; Elaine Godlewicz, Wyoming; and Joan Bonfanti, West Pittston. Second row: Tosca Villano, West Pittston; Deborah Williams, Clinton, N.J.; Sharon Rodgers, Wilkes-Barre; and Mary Claire Kozlowich, Wilkes-Barre. Thiul row: Edwin L.

Not such is the case for two Wilkes College professors and two students who are putting the final touches on a unique piece of electronic equipment which will be used to measure the intensity of the light reflection from highway safety and direction signs. The project, which has taken nearly two years to complete, is being funded through a contract awarded by the Federal and the Pennsylvania Departments of Transportation. · "There never has been a system of measuring the light reflection of signs before... explained Dr. James Toole, who is chairman of the Wilkes College Engineering Department and coordinator of the highway study. "When the apparatus is put into use, the Department of Transportation will be able to assess the . visibility of signs as seen by the driver," Toole remarked. "We also will be able to decide the best colors, placement, and determine when the signs should be replaced.''

The Colonels will inaugurate their dual campaign tomorrow afternoon, meet;ng Sccanton Unive,-sity at Nay Princeton University is an institution saturated in tradition. It is an Amer~can landmark, and yet its beautiful ivory-covered walls seem to be saying, "I wish to be left alone." The campus is an educational utopia. Its progress in the field of education and research can be matched by very few. Yet, Princeton is more than a great learning center for intellectuals. It is symbolic of our country; always growing, but never letting go of its hold on the past. The University's beautiful Palmer Stadium is also saturated with tradition. A little over one hundred years ago, Princeton took on a spirited Rutgers University squad in what was the first official college football game. The game has grown to immense proportions sinc-e that fall afternoon, but its historic memory lingers on within the stadium's four walls. The Colonels became a part of the Princeton tradition last week and played as well as any of their predecessors to the Palmer turf. The Tiger's head coach summed up Wilkes' performance in their scrimmage best of all, when he said "they hit as hard as any team in the Ivy League." And hit they did, as coach Rollie Schmidt looked on with a smile creasing his usually serious features. In last week's column, we said that we would list the casualties in our next edition, and we're happy to say the list is blank. With the exception of a little pain in tackle John Morreale's ann, there were no physical mishaps whatsoever. The squad as a whole played hard and held their own, but there were some Blue and Gold gridders who stood out and deserve a nod. A few weeks ago, coach Schmidt told us about freshmen linebackers Tony Couto and Bill Sobczak, but seeing is believing. Couto, a 6'0, 185 pounder from Allentown, was all over the field and held his ground. Sobszak, who teamed with Couto at Wyoming Seminary was equally as impressive. At least one of them should be starting against Post on Saturday, and possibly even both. With the entire offensive forward wall opening the holes, Mickey "the Breeze" Calabrese fought for some big gainers against the Tigers. John Baron, the Breeze's backfield partner, played well also. Baron performed with seven stitches in his chin, which he had inserted Friday, after getting hit in practice. Tony Schwa b and Freddy Marianacci combined to make the most exciting play of the scrimmage. Schwab intercepted an enemy aerial near the Tiger goaline and headed upfield. He cut back against the grain twice, and evaded tacklers when it had seemed that he was trapped. After crossing the Princeton thirty-yard line, be lateraled to a trailing Marianacci, who picked up 15 more yards before being nailed. The defensive line, which is supposedly the Colonel's trouble spot, was also impressive last weekend. Lou Maczuga drew praises from'Princeton onlookers as did Donny Kulick. Schmidt used several players at the two defensive tackle slots, and all did well. Tom Bradshaw held his own against the bigger Princeton players, but the real surprise was the job Tommy Butler did, while he was in there. Listed as·a linebacker, Butler made a number of tackles up front. as Schmidt continues to experiment. Around 1be Hom Jimmy "the Jet" Cefalo, who graduated from Pittston Area High School last year got an opportunity to perform on national television last weekend, when Penn State battled the Sta¢ord Indians.

Two new coaches have been named to positions in the Wilkes College athletic program recently. Jim Zardecki, who accumulated local fame as a high school coach at St. Leo's High School in the now defunct Catholic League, and as head mentor of the Pious X Seminary roundball unit, has been appointed assistant basketball coach under Rodger Bearde. Zardecki replaces Joe O'Donnell, who has accept_ed the head coaching position at Dallas High School. The other new mentor will be Rick Marchant who will replace Joe Shaugnessy as swimming coach. Marchant was an outstanding swimmer for the Colonels a few years ago, and is being counted on to upgrade the aquatics program at the college ....

S PORT WILKES ATHLETICS �sP . / Post Invades The ·Colonel Domain ·- ************· **** No Lambert Bowl For Saturday's Loser Pioneers Lose Star QB; Injuries Sideline P owers BY PAUL DOMOWITCH There has been a lot said about this year's Colonel grid team the past few weeks; some good and some bad. But come Saturday afternoon, the truth will surface to the top, when the Blue and Gold tangle with the C.W. Post Pioneers in what could be a battle for the 1974 rights to the Lambert Bowl. For the few unknowing, the Lambert Bowl is emblematic of Division III supremacy in the Easteqi United States. The Colonels last won the coveted award in 1968, while Post turned the trick a year ago, as they overcame Juniata College for top honors in the final week of balloting. On paper, the New York squad has the.edge over the Wilkesmen. Forty lettermen return from last season's Powers Injured 10-1 squad, along with several GARY FLUR promising freshmen . In last week's opener against powerful Western Kentucky however, Pioneer quarterback Eddie Powers, who was third in the small-college ranks in passing last season, tore ligaments in his knee and is out for the entire season. Further nightmares continued to plague coach Dom Anile's team last v week, when Power's understudy Bob Mangione suffered three cracked ribs seconds after he entered the game. With Powers, the Pioneers are a football juggernaut. Without him, they are just a good football team. If they fall behind early, they won't have Power's arm to rely on and that definitely will be a severedisadvantage to a team whose offense is considered an aerial circus. Whoever mans the signal calling position for the Pioneers Saturday, VICTORY DOESN'T COME EASY- If you expect to be a winner, you've got to work at it, and freshman will at least have a host of talent defensive end Chris O'Brien finds that out early. In the photo above, Chris is being watched by assista1,t coach Ed surrounding him in the huddle. Lukas as he goes through the lateral motion drill. Anile has assembled a forward wall which averages 240 pounds a Also hurting is the defensive held his own. He will probably team man, and is as quick as any the backfield, which lost a pair of with Tom Bradshaw in the middle of Colonels will see this season. Best of Stats Could Be Misleading the best are tackles Gary Flur and C.W. Post also has some talented starters and will be counting on two the line against the Engineers. Mike Cohen.

So, if Wilkes can shut tackle Richard Piontkowski, a 6-3 Schmidt will probably start the formidable with a pair of juniors off their ground attack, it could spell 240 pounder, and end Jeff Miot, who more experienced duo of Phil stands 6-2, 215.

Stellios Patsiokas: Silel1t.Soccer Thunder BY BOB DAVIS Not many students at Wilkes have the distinction of hailing from a foreign country. But there's a fellow on our soccer team who also has the distinction of being one of the best in his field. His name is Stellios Patsiokas, who comes to Wilkes from Macedonia, Greece, and has also had the honor bestowed upon him of being named an All-Middle Atlantic Conference soccer player. Stellios is a senior Electrical Engineering major. He plans to attend graduate school in Buffalo, New York upon graduation from Wilkes. Stelli0s enjoys Wilkes and has fo und the people here very friendly. He likes the area so much that he would like to work here · after graduate school. But he also · · When asked about this year's He has noticed quite a change in intends to return to Greece team, Stellios stated that he feels it the quality of the game in his four eventually. is better than last year's and he is years here.

He admires the work of his fellow showing off his great talent.

Of course, Stellios had some minor problems to overcome upon his arrival here, such as learning the English language. He couldn't speak a word of English. He said it took him at least six months to get fully acclimated, but found people very cooperative. w~~ r-r~i:'.~-~~-h~clule. t ;l;~;l;l;l;l;l;l;l;~l l~l~l~:~ ·w::: 7 J ~:·fi:).l_l·l~l~l~llll~l~llll· =_·_:__._·_ ..::: 1 An organizational lacrosse meetAli Candidates for the wresing will be held tonight (Sept. 19) at tling team are requested to 7:00 p.m. in room 306 of Stark Hall. meet in the Gymnasium this Arrangements will be made for morning, AT 11 a.m. Schedpre-season conditioning and pracules and the upcoming season : tice sessions on Tuesday and will be discussed at that time.t Thursday afternoons.

First, find out what magazines publish poetry. You'd be surprised how much postage many writers waste sending poems to publications which don't publish them. You'll find an annual list of poetry markets in the magazine "Writer's Yearbook." For information -send to: Writer's Yearbook, 22 East 12th Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45210. You can also flip through your library's copy of "Literary Market Place," which tells what book and magazine publishers accept fiction, poetry, etc. When you've selected a magazine, send the editor a short, neatly-typed letter with your poems stating that you are submitting them for possible publication. Include a . stamped return envelope. With smaller magazines - such as religious, trade and regional ones (as opposed to large, national interest magazines such as " Ladies Home Journal" and " Saturday Review") your unsolicited poems have a better chance. To crack the more famous magazines, you usually need a reputation as a poet; unsolicited poems generally go into what is discouragingly called "the = slush pile," read by a junior assistant. H you set your sights a smidgen lower, you'll .probably get more sympathetic attention. ' If you need to pay the rent, don't bank on doing it by selling your poetry. Some top magazines pay only a token amount, maybe $10 for a poem. �Page 1 Student Lead67-SN Give VieWS~,, . ,.l.

Wilkes holds a 9-7 edge in the series, which is traditionally very physical. The Warriors are out..,to snap a three game winning trend the Colonels possess in the series, during which Lycoming has failed to score. The last time they defeated Wilkes was the shocking 21-19 upset in 1970 which put an end to the Colonels' record 31-game winning streak over MAC opponents. That was also the first defeat for Wilkes since moving to Ralston Field. Coach Schmidt's vivid memories of that game make the Lycoming game a " mµst " win for him every year. But Coach Frank Girardy, the Warrior's head mentor, has indelible memories of last year's game where his defense played a tremendous contest against the Wilkesmen. It was his offense that gave up all the points in Wilkes' 25-0 rout. _ The Colonels intercepted a total of 10 passes that game, three of which went for touchdowns - 2 by Fred Marianacci and one by Dave Trethaway. Jeff Grandinetti also blocked a punt, scooped it up, and ran 17 yards to paydirt. Looking for revenge are 21 returning Warrior lettermen who arc out to improve on last year's poor 2-6 log. Coach Girardy will go with 6'2", Bill Grace to lead his pro-offense which usually puts on an aerial show with plenty of passing. His normal target is 5'10", 160 lb. Jim Rich, an outstanding flanker, who is the Warrior's biggest offensive ·threat. The Colonel secondary will have to be at their best to stop Rich, who collected 25 passes for 363 yards and 4 TD's in 1973. The Warriors running game is almost nil, gathering only 167 yards rushing in 1973. But Lycoming has an added offensive punch in senior Porfirio Gonclaves, a super soccer style kicker, who booted a 48 yarder last year against Delaware Valley. He had 13 three-pointers last campaign. campaign. The Warrior's defense was crushed by graduation, but are rebuilding _ around senior, Dave Eishenhuer, 5'9", 200 lb.

A meager crowd watched the Colonel's in their first outing build a 2-0 lead as a senior co-captain Stellios Patsiokas recorded Wilkes' two goals, one in each half. Stellios, who set a school record last year with 18 goals, seemed to regain his old form, but was unable to receive any scoring help from skillful strikers, George Bene Hoane, Tommy Burns and Roland Igweze. The Upsala College Vikings were a vastly improved squad in comparison with their squad of one year ago . They staged a strong second half comeback, adding two goals to erase the Wilkes lead, with the second goal coming with only three minutes left to play. Sophomore goalkeeper Bill Nardone turned in a strong performance making 12 saves on the rain soaked Colonel turf. Fifth year soccer coach Tom Rokita almost saw his squad A NEW DANCE?-It just wasn't the Colonels afternoon last Saturday, emerge victorious as center forward and the photo above emmulates that fact as QB Chuck S,uppon, and Stellios Patsiokas' last second shot fullback John Baron have a little trouble with a handoff. Result-a two caromed off the Viking crossbar. Commenting on the game and the yard loss. team's progress in the upcoming games, senior John Chakmackus said " we outplayed Upsala, but I think we relaxed a little in the second half after we scored those two goals. " The veteran senior halfback seemed sure that the Colonel hooters would finish the season with a respectable record. He also noted that this years team will play a reduced schedule of only 10 games as compared to 14 games in the past years.

The action came at a meeting in City Hall at which the committee also heard complaints about parking on South River near Academy Street. Both of the committee's actions will directly affect Wilkes College personnel and students since the school maintains parking lots in the first block of South Ri~er Street. Many Wilkes students park on River Street as well. The committee's action was prompted by a report from the Wilkes-Barre City Police. Assistant Police Chief . Al Clocker told the committee that traffic policemen stationed at River and Market Streets report traffic backups arise when motorists attempt to turn left, cross over the northbound lane and enter Wilkes College parking lots.

Although an interview may clinch the job, your first crucial impression is on paper. Here's how to write an eye-catching, door-opening resume in the functional form . It's the best-seller for the " unemployed" with little or no professional experience. . Be neat and succinct on one or at most two pages. Put name, address and telephone at the top. Follow with your job objective. Now, instead of listing paid work experience chronologically by jobs, categorize all work experience, including unsalaried ones, by skill. Under functional subheads, such as ''Sales" and " Writing," ,... describe ·your related work experience in short-paragraph style. Avoid information about salaries, dates, even job titles. A housewife ( trying desperately not to look like she 's peddling fo ur years of diapers and marital bliss ) should not show a potential employer at first glance that her only paid job was part-time during college on a newspaper copy desk. The fun c tional resume concentrates on capabilities, says Kathi Wakefield of MORE for Women , .a career counseling service. For example, this " housewife" can draw on the campaign material she wrote for a local political candidate, the display window she designed for a friend's new culinary shop - all relevant unsalaried experience. It she's brief but all-inclusive in describing • responsibilities and skill gained professionally and voluntarily, she'll certainly look qualified as city hall's " P.R. Assistant." The functional resume also works for the June graduate with a meager four summers' lifeguarding and is sure-fire for the woman changing fields or turning a job into a career. Talking in terms of skills and a ccomplishment - not position titles - makes it easier for a potential employer to see you in a new job situation. Warning: Certain fields, such as law and education, require the ,chronological form, according to ·0ee Campman of Today's Woman, a nationwide executive and professional placement service. In any case, to avoid n~gative reaction from an employer who wants "statistics" immediately, end wit):l a straight biography ( firms ' names, employment dates , schools , degrees, etc. ) The statistics are in, but you've sold capabilities strongly at the start. ~~, 11 : !11!' ...-, -------- Jil ;:~:1l\;~:iI!• 11A1l:i ,,;:; :'l l•Bl~t 1111! if!

Limit personal information to enough to contact you. Do not include marital status. Never include a picture or references keep curiosity alive for an interview. Also leave off salary expectations, and don't narrow a job objective down to a position; just indicate field. • A tip for the recent college grad~ Employers like someone who has financed his or her educa,tion. So include that information if you earned 70 per cent of your college bills even if you did it waitressing. A dull, form cover letter weakens a resume. Write one pertinent to each potential employer.

" Apartment Extra Room to Share The bicentennial year of 1976 will have a double significance for approximately 30 nursing students at Wilkes College because that will be the year they will graduate as the first fo ur -year class to receive bachelor of science degrees in nursing from the local school. Currently the 30 nursing stude11ts are part of an overall fulltime nursing corps of slightly more than 100 students and as juniors they are paving the way for the many who are expected to follow as_the nursing program grows according to a scedule that has been explained by Ruth McHenry, R. N. , director of nursing at Wilkes. An innovative self-learning laboratory , fully equipped with 18 carrels or electronically equipped independent study units, Educassette recorders that allow the students to respond to the programs, film loop projectors, a mini research library and four bed units equipped with simulated oxygen tanks, will be opened on the third floor of the Stark Learning Center. Mrs. McHenry stated that the student will be able to control his own learning by using the equipment at his own rate of progression and that each individual may learn technical skills in a self-directed manner. She added that the baccalaureate nursing program at Wilkes prepares a competent, self-directed professional nurse practitioner who exerts leadership in adapting to, or developin g emer ging roles in primary' acute and long time care with emphasis on prevention of disa bility and maintenance of health. The curriculum is designed to enable the student to integrate the arts, the sciences, and the humanities with nursing.

But one aspect in particular is worth mentioning in order to set an example. That aspect is the devotion of leaders Stew Feeney, Mike Stambaugh and Bob Howes. Collectively, these groups seem to have a genuine interest in and support from the majority of the student population. This year they have resighted their goals and are ready to_fire. Separately, Stew Feeney's Student Government group is working more than before in the area of academics. Stambaugh's Commuter Council clan has tried to remedy parking problems. JDC boss Bob Howes has hopefully eliminated the one-man rule rel!ime in JDC. These groups will undoubtedly face scores of problems throughout this year. But the enthusiasm, hard work and togetherness that these leaders have displayed thus far will reduce the weight that these problems will bring. They realize that in order to work out problems they must work together as a group with student interests in mind. This togetherness has been absent the past few years in student organizations. Fortunately they bring a whole-hearted interest to their offices, which in the long run, unlike ever before, the student body may catch sight of. Going one step higher the faculty, administration and Board of Trustees might do_well if they as a group follow in these leaders' plot. That is, in the same vem, exert concern and focus themselves as a group in the affairs around us. Sometimes these three levels tend to sidestep getting involved in other ways beyond quitting time at 4:30 on Fridays and should think about lending support to this campus 100 per cent of the time. This is certainly not in all instances but if you look around it does exist. The identity of the Trustees is not too far from being extinct. Some members of the faculty are either t80 busy or too lazy beyond the classroom: And it isnot altogether an outright lie to say the administration doesn 't drink coffee in Weckesser Hall. However, to effectively tackle campus problems and anticipate future woes every level of the college community should be eager to volunteer genuine support. Rather than going under the notion that these higher levels carry a deaf ear it might be wiser if they speak with a more constructive voice. ' At least from a devotion standpoint this year's student organizational leaders are off to a quick start. Let's not hope that other college policy makers do not stand still in the starting blocks. Maybe all the Trustees, and a small gathering of administrators and · faculty should come out of the woodwork and give it that old college try. At least the student leaders seem devoted.

Although Hurricane Agnes caused considerable damages to the Wyoming Valley, it did have at least one positive effect in Northeastern Pennsylvania that of improving the water quality of the Susquehanna River, as related to acid-mine • drainage, according to two Wilkes College environmental scientists. Dr . Mohamed T. E l-Ashry, chairman of the Wilkes College environmental science department; and Charles Mattei, instructor ; recently conducted a Susquehanna River study, supported by a Title I Grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education through West Chester State College Ecology Project Consortium and published their results in a 16-page pamphlet, " Acid-Mine Drainage and Water Quality of the Susquehanna River Northeastern Pennsylvania. " The report is intended to provide the badly needed data base for future pollution abatement studies on the river and its tributaries in the Wyoming Valley._ According to both men the scenic Susquehanna River could provide a source of food, recreation, and clean water supply for the area if pollution from acid-mine drainage apd organic wastes could be stopped. For the past four years, Wilkes College has maintained a monthly water quality monitoring of 10 points along the river within a stretch of approximately 50 miles from Tunkhannock to Mocanaqua. DATA COLLECTED Data collected include pH, acidity, alkalinity, calcium, total hardness, aluminum, manganese, ferrous and total iron and sulfate quantities. In addition to these 10 points data was also collected from 11 points on the major tributaries in 1973, from the Lackawanna River to Newport Creek, and was used in assessing the post-flood water quality system. The report reads in part: " With the construction of secondary sewage treatment plants in the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valleys, organic waste pollution will be eliminated or considerably minimized. The prospect for a solution to the acid-mine drainage, however, seems remote. "It is evident from the data that considerable deterioration in the quality of the Susquehanna River,,, takes place as it passes through the Wyoming Valley due to the addition of acid-mine discharge . However, constant gradual improvement in the water quality takes place after the river leaves the valley. GRAPHS COMPARED " By comparing the graphs of 1971 with those of 1973, it can be seen that the water quality of the river, as related to acid-mine drainage, was gene~ally better in 1973 than in 1971, despite the fact that the flow of the river for both periods of time was significantly different. " This is probably related to the dilution, and possible stratification effect of the tremendous volume of fresh water from Hurricane Agnes in June, 1972. " The alleviation of present acid-mine drainage as well as successful treatmept of organic waste may help in returning the Susquehanna River to· viability as a source of water supply and recreation " !!I Ill 1111111111111111 Ill Ill 111111111111111111111111111111111 to furnish information .~ oncerning the various officer programs available to all college students. ~l■AFII •'CATERING TO THE NEEDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS" SUPPLI ERS OF ENGINEERING & DRAFTING EOIJIPMENT FULL SELECTION OF EVERY OAY SCHOOL SUPPLIES ONE OF THE AR EA'S LARGEST SELECTION OF GREETING CARDS L-------------------------- fCHACKO'Si = 717- 8 2 2- 7151 486 HAZLE ST .

Roberts, who is Coach Gay Meyers goalie, had seven saves on the afternoon, and played one of the best games of her career. Funke, playing at the center-half position, displayed some excellent stickwork and proved to be the focal-point of the Colonelette defense. During the contest, Wilkes took a total of 22 shots at the go~l, with sowe fine hustle from the front line, but all their efforts proved fruitless, as Albright pulled it out of the bag. Juuior Debbie Titus saw the first varsity action of her career in the Albright game, and impressed Coach Meyers very much while in at the right-halfback slot. On Saturday, the Colonelettes welcomed back the alumni in very obvious style, by beating them 2-0 in . ll 1c pouring rain. Augcla Centrella and Barb Long scored the lone goals in the victory, while Sue Fuuke, and Penny Biaucuni were credited with the assists.

He 's always been in excellent condition, and is as good as any athlete we have had or will ever have at Wilkes College." Horan, complete with his curly, blond hair giving him the physical impression of the all-american boy, began his athletic career at Coughlin High School. He was well-adept in all sports, and earned six letters in football, basketball and track. As a gridder for coach Joe Moran, . who later foll0wed his student to Wilkes, Billy played a host of positions, including offensive guard, lir,ebacker, halfback, and finally defensive safety. It wasn't until he , matriculated to Wilkes that his talent as a receiver was fully utilized. His proven speed as a high school sprinter had coach Schmidt dreaming of another Skvarla. Horan didn't disappoint Schmidt either. In the third game of his freshman year against the Delaware Valley Aggies, he caught touchdown passes of 43 and 73 yards to spearhead a 35-30 win over their MAC rivals.

The Greyhounds have been moved from the Northern-Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference to the Southern branch, and will be prohibited from playing inter-divisional foes in the future. Remember '73 The Greyhounds pulled off the big upset last season, dumping the Wilkesmen 2.1-6, and ruining the Colonels chances of a Middle Atlantic Conference crown. However, the win was ony one of three that the Greyhounds managed all last campaign. Injuries plagued the Bethlehem squad most of last season, and if Calvo can keep his boys healthy for awhile, they should come through with a winning log . They are already 2-0 on the year, with impressive wins over Dickinson and Delaware Valley. Both the Greyhounds and the Colonels play the same hardnosed brand of football, which is characteristic of Calvo and Schmidtcoached teams. Wilkes must stop the Moravian ground attack if they expect to win. Working basically out of the slot-T and the I-formations, the Greyhounds seldom put the ball in the air if it can be avoided. Leading the rushing game for the home squad Saturday will be 6'0, 185-pound Bob Gratz, a tough halfback, wh<r is currently the second lE:!ading rusher in Moravian grid history, . with over 1600 fards coming into the '74 campaign. The man who will be handing off to Gratz-quarterback Fred Ferratti, is another running threat. The 5'10, 170-pound junior completed 48 of 110 passes last year, while only throwing seven interceptions. He is a rollout type passer and often runs with the pigskin. It was this tactic in last year's Moravian-Wilkes contest that had the Colonel's defense stymied all afternoon.

Setting the stage,' a bright glow will illuminate Ralston Field commencing the weekend's festivities when the Wilkes' student body attend the annual bonfire and pep rally tonight. Unlike previous years at Wilkes, where the queen's identity was known in advance to the weekend celebration, the unveiling of this year's queen will be made pub!ic at the bonfire. Friday night will host the all-campus undergraduate Dinner Dance to be held at Gus Genetti's from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Those who will attend will be wined and dined to the music of the Twilights. Cost per student is $9, and this includes dinner, cocktail hour, and an open bar. The wheels will turn Saturday when 9000 alumni, in addition to the 2150 students currently attending Wilkes, show up for the sports specials. To lead off the round of events will be the Wilkes Bootmen in their skirmish against Scanton University at 10 a.m. The afternoon will be highlighted by the Wilkes College Colonels in their pigskin battle with the Juniata Indians. Kickoff time is set for 1:30. During half-time of the Wilkes-Juniata game, there will be the traditional half-time ceremonies. HOMECOMING COMMITTEE-This year's key people who have worked on the undergraduate Homecoming planning are, left to right, first row: Jenny Wunder, East Stroudsburg, bonfire; Paul Vecchio, Flemington, N.J., queen's elections; Polly Seleski, Rockville, Md., general chairwoman. · Second row: Ann Marie Lewis, Owego, N.Y., dorm displays; Vince Matteo, Jamesburg, N.J., queen's elections and right hand man to Miss Seleski; and Patty Sowden, New Albany, Pa., bonfire. Renaissance Cancels Out A tradition in the past has been that the finale of Homecoming was the concert in the gym. This year, however, the concert that was scheduled to take place had to be cancelled by Renaissance. Lead vocalist for the British band, Annie Haslam, was recently hospitalized, forcing the group to cancel all engagements for the time being. Glenn Misner, head of the Concert Committee, was very disappointed by the cancellation of the concert. '.

The alumni return with varied memories of Wilkes College - some good and some bad. We would also like to take the time and ask the alumni to support the school more actively in the future. It is true that they have been doing a good job in the past and they have donated I iberal ly to -the college, but perh~ps they could do more now. These are hard times for colleges everywhere and Wilkes is no exception. \/ye are "" . faced by the prospect, if not the fact, of decreasing enrollment and higher costs. The alumni could play a role in alleviating the situation. They .can play a role as ambassadors for the school and interest prospective students in Wilkes College . Perhaps they can also dig a little deeper into their pockets when donating to the school as well. Redevelopment Mr. Hoover suggests two service projects which Wilkes students could participate in on page 5. The BEACON would like to add another project. Why not get involved and try to save the old Central Railroad of New Jersey station .from being destroyed. Redevelopment is a good thing and it has changed the f ace of much of downtown Wilkes- Barre. The change is needed, especially after the flood. We will have a modern, beautiful city in the near future. It is unfortunate though, that in the process we have lost many architectural monuments from the city's history. The old buildings around Public Square were quite beautifu·1 in their own way. Redevelopment is good, but only so far. We must stop somewhere and preserve what is left of our history before it is too late. This could be the start. Co-Managing Editors . .. Marianne Montague and Fran Polakowski ..

Advisor ............ . ........ Thomas J . Moran To the Editor: Security has always been a major issue on the Wilkes Campus. Although many individuals think that this matter has been settled, we must, as concerned students, report an unfortunate incident that occurred on the afternoon of October 3. We always felt that materials left in our car were safe among students, faculty, and administration here. However, we must report the theft of a small brown bag containing two patties of egg foo young (one· regular, one chicken flavor) . Perhaps the culprit was a desperate dormitory student on his or her way to the cafeteria. Perhaps it was a faculty member returning from yet another unsatisfactory visit to the Commons. We would hate to imagine that his. could be the work of an individual who opposes our political or religious beliefs. At any rate, this incident definitely raises serious questions concerning the moral fiber of the Wilkes College Family.

For most former graduates this weekend will uncover a touch of nostalgia. As they ride down River Street they will take careful notice of the new buildings, and surroundings and revisit some of the more familiar sights. They might even remember Homecoming when they were here in the good old days as they watched alumni return to a place where they once spent four memorable years. They will marvel at the structure of the new Student Learning Center and express amazement concerning the Wilkes-Hahnemann Cooperative Medical Program, wishing these opportunities existed when they were here in the good old days. Even to some the CPA is new hat. others used Kirby Hall when it was the library. Pickering Hall, the men's dormitory, was once grounds for a business enterprise. The commons of today was the cafeteria of yesterday. Weckesser Hall had the title of a women's dorw.itory and there was a time when visitation was unheard of and it was exceedingly unhealthy to your college well-being, to express in public, your likings for your favorite female on River Street. Some will even remember when the Letterman's Club was one of, if not the most, influential student group on campus. Nor the times when Art Hoover's residence was Butler House. Those times are still fresh in all former graduates minds about their undergraduate days. But now as graduates they are a part of some 9500 American bread winners who make up the Wilkes Alumni. For the most part they have kept up their ever so vital role in recruiting students and locating jobs for seniors and supporting the college financially. In m_any cases many of our Alumni wouldn't have had the opportunity to get where they are today if it wasn't for this college. The Wilkes Alumni have and will continue to play an active role in aiding the current undergraduates. With present economic conditions slicing the job market the Alumni must be watchful and obliging in the future of nearing graduates. Many former graduates now head large companies and hold key positions in many large corporations. Many are associated with school systems both locally and out of state. Many Wilkes Alumni · are presently employed by the United States Government. Many are full time professors here at Wilkes as well as at many other colleges and universities.

Everyone Has A void Hamburgers To Conserve Energy Disappointments Everybody has disappointments in life. But most people don't know how to handle them. They let the disappointments get them down. Becoming depressed over a disappointment only makes it worse - and paves the way to further disappointments. But the effects of a disappointment can be controlled to a person's advantage - if he follows certain basic rules. The best rule for handling any disappointment is: Give it as ·little emphasis as possible. Be positive. Place all your emphasis on successful alternatives not on the disappointment itself. Limit the amount of time you spend on regrets and feeling sorry for yourself. I know a writer who allows himself only 15 minutes to feel unhappy over a rejected manuscript before he gets back to work. He told me: "I find it a lot easier for myself as well as my family to wallow in misery for only 15 minutes, and it's just as effective as doing it for 15 hours." Another rule is: Keep busy. If you give in to misery over your disappointment and stop all activity, you will make yourself ill. No matter what your ambition may be, work even harder toward that goal when it is frustrated by a disappointment. There's an old folk saying that goes : "Never is one door closed but that another opens somewhere." This is good psychology. It means that other courses of action are always open to you, regardless of your present disappointment. And that's another rule: Consider disappointments as only temporary gaps in your life. They are never permanent - unless you continually brood over them. A final rule is: Carefully examine the situation that disappointed you. Disappointments are only relative to the situation that caused them. You might be surprised to find that you haven't been disappointed at all. All too often people make up their minds about wanting a certain thing and focus their full attention on only one aspect of the goal to the exclusion of all other aspects. On this basis it's easy for people to convince themselves they've been disappointed - when in fact only one avenue has been closed to them. Yet usually there are many more routes they can take to reac.h their goal if they turned off the one-lane "No man is an Island, entire of itself; everyman is a piece of the path to find another, broader road. Continent, a part of the main." --John Donne So even if you think you've had a disappointment, "The learner, like the discoverer, must believe before he can know." consider it a roadblock that can be bypassed. Once you -Micha~l Polanyi find a route around it, it no longer can exist as a disappointment. ~-p-la_c_e_m_e_n_t_s._______________ , - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Concert Even at th_e curre~t soaring price More households and yet fewer of m~at, 1s cuttmg down on people per U.S. household results in hamburgers really going to help more energy consumption per save a~y energy? . person, the authors found .

In the above ph~to, Joe is sho'!n with three of his proteges immediately before a rigorous practice session. game number three against Delaware Valley, Joe suffered a serious thigh injury, and was out for the year. Second string QB Rick Simonson responded to the situation though, and led the Colonels all the way to another Lambert Bowl and yet another undefeated season. Goes Out a Winner 1969 was Zak's last as a Wilkes Colonel, and he ended it in legendary style. With most of last season's stars graduated, Joe led a mostly inexperienced unit to yet another winning season, although the great Colonel winning streak stopped at 32, when the Wilkesmen · lost to Ithaca in the fourth game of '69. The Air Force ROOC College Program has 3 things to offer that other college programs don't. After he graduated from Wilkes, Zak married Barbara Mooney and moved to Harrisburg, where he worked for Sears in their management training program. Last March though, Joe moved back into the area to go into the construction business with his brother-in-law, Brinley Varchol, who was one of the greatest linebackers Wilkes College has ever produced. In his spare time, Zak coaches a mini-football squad, comprised of youngsters from the Hanover area. Joe's accomplishments during that "golden age" of Colonel football are now written in immortality, and although it is true that they will never write a song about this remarkable human being or name a stadium in his honor, Joe Zakowski is a legend in his own time; and for the people that watched him play, and for the youngsters that once idolized his every movement, Zak makes those yesterdays seem all the more worth reliving, time and time again.

George and Stellios Score Goal·s In Win Over Lyconting Booters The Wilkes College Colonel soccer team captured its first season win last Saturday, handily defeating Lycoming College 3-1 at Ralston Field. The Colonels showed promising signs of improvement in team play as co-captain George Bene Hoane drew first blood beating the Lycoming goalie with a perfectly placed head ball on a cross from teammate Jerry Mehalick who was credited with the assist. With the score 1-0 Stellios Patsiokas gained control of the ball at midfield and raced up the middle leaving the Lycoming goalie stymied on the breakaway score. Lycvming then added a goal when Colonel netminder Steve Chaldoff, who was in for the injured tilli Nardone sidelined-with a rib injury, iost control making the score 2-1. In the second half, the ball was down in Wilkes territory the majority of the time as Wilkes' defenders Tom Trost, Pancos Kalaritis and Steve Sergi, were mainly responsible for keeping the (Continued on Page 7) Penny Bianconi Sparks Colonelettes In 4-1 Victory Over Marywood Girls BYDO'ITYMARTIN " Going into the second half with a 1-1 tied score, the Colohelette field ~ockey team showed the girls from Marywood College their stuff and, in the name of Penny Bianconi, put their opponents dowd, 4-1. Miss Bianconi, a 1973 graduate of Meyers High School, could do no wrong in the last ten minutes of the game, scoring three Wilkes goals. As Coach Gay Meyers puts it, "Penny must be credited for her explosive offensive effort.

The Marywood victory came on Tuesday, but Thursday was a different story when the Colonelettes came home from Kutztown State College with a 2-0 loss. Kutztown, a fast-moving team, simply "outhustled" the Blue and Gold. The Colonelettes were so intent on keeping their opponents from scoring that they momentarily forgot about generating their own defense. This is where the ability of center-half Susan Funke was missed most by her teammates. However, Miss Funke has been working out ancl is expected to be back on the field this week.

Again it was the combination of freshman Paul Boris and sophomore Mark zavoy which told the story as the duo toured the 4.0 mile Nanticoke course in the identical 21 :57 clocking for a first-place tie. Coach Pawlush was al~o pleased with the efforts of his middle runners Steve Standiford and Dave Kowalek, who copped ninth and, tenth respectively with times of 23:13 and 23:14. Also finishing in the 33-participant field were Barry Wildoner, 15th, 24:25; Marty Callahan, 20th, 25 :24 ; Ed Bosha, 22nd, 25 :52 ; and Mary Malloy, 33rd, 29:31. Miss Malloy had been beating a male competitor only to have the runner drop out of the race. Last Monday, the Blue and Gold saw their victory string shortlived when they suffered a 22-39 setback to Baptist Bible College. Freshman Boris salvaged some Wilkes pride by pacing the Colonels with his third first of the young season. Boris blew three Baptist Bible runners away midway in the race· and won by 200 yards with a 28:06 on the defenders hilly 5.0 mile course. Captain Zavoy was fifth with 29:02. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Tuesday, October 8th Dearest: We received your letter last night. We had gotten home late as we were looking and test-riding the Mercury Monarck. Daddy read your letter out loud while I star ted dinner. Lance just beamed when he he'ard his name mentioned. After dinner we went to the Oldsmobile place. They gave us a price· on a car coming in without a defogger on the back window. I had wanted it (you know, the coils on the back window) but they tried to talk us out of it. We are very mixed up. The Mercury would be about $350 cheaper (with the defogger ) but Daddy still feels the Olds is more car. Each dealer is trying to get a 24-hour sale for his low price. We are going to get a white car with red top and interior no matter which car. ... Glad to hear you are getting along fine in school. We all wish you luck on the exams. I am going to send you money. Get a shirt if it is cold (for the dance ) and I am sure it must be getting cold there. I sure wish you had your winter coat. You can carry your suit jacket and change at the dance, if it is cold. And now an English lesson. All proper names are C<Jpitalized. ( You wrote david, english, pirates, etc.) Currently.has two r 's. The word for _"you are" is " you're, the ' taking the place of the a; not " your" which means belonging to you. Watch these little things when you write your thesis. Careless .punctuation can make a bad impression on your reader even though what you are saying is worth while. I want you to know I am very proud of you for making such a good effort. Someone once said, "It's not failure that is a disgrace but never ~aving tried:" Or something to that effect as I am not qu~ting verbatim. (Verbatun means word for word.) Say, you're the one in college; you should be teaching me. Give us a call and be sure to have a good time at the dance. Am enclosing $10. Love from us all.

They should not be • discouraged if they cannot secure a teaching job because there are many other rewarding jobs with openings available to them. They just have to look in other fields.

For most, it is the first time they've ever been away fropi home and completely on their own. For others it is just a few minutes from home. . However, for all it is a new experience coming into contact with a diverse group of people with different concepts and ideas. . · This new life that the fresli.man leads takes on many forms. One of those forms is the everyday class schedule that is followed to get one a step closer to the goal of a degree.

DENIM Pl.AIDS I I �October 17, 1974 -- THE BEACON Sports Chatter By Paul Domowitch · Reflections He lay there motionless. The once boiste'.·ous crowd became silent as the ambulance drove onto the field. A few minutes later, Juniata's Mike Ha~selman, a big, strong defensive tackle was put into the emergency vehicle on a stretcher and carted to the hospital. As we sat there in the pressbox, a similar scene came to our mind. It has been almost two years since Bobby McBride, a once vibrant, scrappy performe~ for the Wilkes College grid team died as a result of head injuries suffered m a contest against King's Point. Fortunately for Hanselman· however, he only suffered a bruised neck and will be able to play another day. But for Bobby McBride, there are no tomorrows and for those who knew him and loved him, there are only memories, a~d thoughts of what · could have been. Football is a ~angerous game, no one will argue that point. But so is any other aspect of hfe, and those that play the game realize the risks involved. Bobby McBride and Mike Hanselman could have played tennis or basketball instead, but they loved the grid sport, and chose to compete. What is the point of all this you ask? It is twofold; to point out the danger of football would be one perhaps, but more importantly, to reflect on that sad day two seasons ago. This year's squad has an opportunity to win their first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in five years, and even much more. They have the potential to be a great team and revel .in the glory that goes with victor~. Bobby McBride never got that chance. He too had the potential to be great; a great human being. But fate cut that potential short. When the Colonels take to the field this Saturday afternoon, the memory of McBride will hover over Ralston Field. Somewhere, the spirit of the dead Colonel is rooting for his former teammates to win it all; to accomplish what he himself never did. Ithaca will not be easily beaten. They are a tough, determined squad. But the Wilkesmen will have an added advant_age; the past. The Blue Bombers will have to contend with 12 players out there on the gridiron Saturday; eleven of coach Rollie Schmidt's best from 1974, and the memory of a twelfth, who never saw his dream come true. Win one for Bobby boys! The Colonels put it all together last weekend against Juniata. What was expected to be a nip and tuck battle, turned into a Wilkes rout, with the Blue and Gold pulling away from the Indians, 30-9. The offense was picture-perfect, and the defense was awesome. Billy Horan, Mickey Calabrese, and ~oe Dettmore all missed the Juniata contest with injuries, but hopefully will be healthy for Saturday. Paul Wengen was Horan's replacement at the one wide receiver position and made some important receptions early in the game. With " the Breeze" out, Rodney Smith played almost the entire game Saturday and responded well. He gained 85-yards rushing on the afternoon, and almost broke a few others for some long gainers. Dettmore's replacement at the one wide-recei_ver position and made s_ome important starting debut for the Colonels. , Another freshman who has got some future · ahead of him •is Tony Couto. The Colonels have had a history of great linebackers; Brinley Varchol, P.J. Kane, and Frank Galicki to name a few. And we thin!{ Couto has the potential to become the best of the best. Against the Indians, Tony had eight first hits, blocked an extra-point attempt, and also blocked a punt, which teammate Terry Blaum fell on in the endzone for a touchdown. r TONY COUTO Before he hangs up his spikes, Tony is going to make quite a name for himself.

Wilke~ Tied For The Top Spot In Conference Grid Standings By virtue of their victories this past weekend, both Wilkes and Albright remain deadlocked for the Middle Atlantic Conference, Northern Division lead. The Colonels of course, trounced Juniata College 30-9 to remain unbeaten in conference play, while Albright won a squeaker over Susquehanna, 14-9 last Sa~day night in Reading. The Lions are 4-0 in the MAC, with wins over Lycoming, 16-0, Upsala, 42-0, Delaware Valley, 37-13, and the Susquehanna victory. Coach Roland Schmidt's Colonels on the other hand, have beaten Lycoming, 20-14, and Juniata last week. With the loss to Wilkes, Juniata dropped to third place in the standings, with 2-1 conference log. The Indians will have another tough one this Saturday afternoon, when Albright travels to Huntingdon to take_ on the Central Pennsylvania institution.

The Colonels traveled to Annville on Wednesday and suffered a close 26-33 setback to Lebanon Valley and a 21-40 nod to Delaware Valley. Zavoy and Boris tied for first in the Lebanon Valley encounter with a 26:59 clocking over the 5.0 home Flying Dutchman course. They were third versus a good Del Val club. Later on Friday, the charges of George Pawlush took on UniversityDivision Rider College at Trenton, N.J. and were beaten, 17-44, Zavoy and Boris finished fifth and sixth in that combat. The Blue and Gold will be idle this week preparing for their fullest slate of combat ever next week. "The period will either. make or break us," Pawlush said, "we're meeting nine fees in three meets and with some good performance I think we can pull off at least five wins." Action starts on Tuesday when the harriers entertain Lock Haven St., Susquehanna, and Baptist Bible at Ralston Field. The next day the Wilkesmen journey to Scranton where they will lock horns with Upsala, Wagner, Albright and Scranton. (Continued on Page 6) ·) While Albright and Juniata battle it out this weekend, Wilkes will be idle from Middle Atlantic Conference play and will take on Ithaca College. The Blue and Gold resume with their conference rivals the next eekend though, traveling to Selinsgrove, ~a. to take on Susquehanna. Also, remaining on the Wilkesmen's schedul~ are Upsala on November 2, Delaware Valley on November 9, and Albright in the season finale for both squads · on the 16th of . November. That contest will take place in Reading. The Lions have only Juniata and Wilkes left, while Juniata must face hapless Upsala on October 26, and Yes We Can ... Delaware Valley on November 2. For Juniata, a loss to Albright this w~e~end, would mathematically elunmate them from championship laurels. If Albright loses, Wilkes will have a big edge, with only Upsala and Del Val in their way before the showdown with the Lions.

Ralston Field. A victory over the Blue Bombers would give the Colonels of coach Roland Schmidt a big boost in their quest for the Lambert Bowl. Ithaca, under the direction of Coach Jim Butterfield, has won the last five meetings in the series, which dates back to 1949.

The destruction of Homecoming displays, the removal and ripping of club posters, and the theft of articles make it painfully clear that the problem is one to be contended with. It is a shame that Jhis vandalism occurs at Wilkes. It is true, some of the damage is done by outsiders, but Wilkes students are also to blame. Vandalism should not occur here and it is the duty of all Wilkes students to work against such actions. If you see someone doing something wrong, report it. It is your campus and if you won't take care of it no one else will. Inflation Inflation is perhaps the greatest problem in the United States today. It is something which is of primary concern to the college student as well. The schools are forced to raise . tuition because of the higher costs they must pay to run the colleges. Th is in turn puts more pressure on the student and his parents. The>t are the ones who must pay the bills and in the end they are bearing the brunt of inflation. The student is not only faced with higher tu it ion. Inflation has caused prices to increase on many goods and services which the average student uses. Most students' incomes rem a in low despite the price hikes and the student is left in a bind. Hopefully the government can come ·up with an effective program to stop inflation. Until then, . some effort should be made to help students and those other sectors of society which are suffering the most because of inflation. 'Beacon ... · E ditor in Chief .. To the Editor: The "Voice of the Students" (alias the Beacon) has once again criticized without just cause. In last week's editorial entitled "Improper Planning" the staff of the Beacon saw fit to find fault with Ms. Seleski's planning of the Homecoming Weekend. The article claimed that there weren't enough activities for the undergraduates. Let's take a look at exactly: what was available to the students. On Thursday night the traditional Bonfire, Friday night there was the highly successful Homecoming Dinner Dance as well as the Wilkes production of "Ghosts" at the C.P.A. On Saturday there was the soccer match, football game, the card party held at the Commons (which was held as an alternate to the sock-hop, which rtidn't come off for good reasons) and another performance of "Ghosts." · Sunday there was the Ecumenical Service ( attended by about 15 students and a total of 30 people) and the final showing of "Ghosts" at the C.P.A. The question now is: Just how many events constitutes enough? If the ones mentioned weren't, then I have no idea what would be. Not only were these activities available to all students but there were also others. Denison Hall held a very successful and enjoyable ·dinner dance on Saturday night and numerous informal parties were held on, campus over the weekend. Also, let us not forget, that the alumni events were also open to undergraduates. . . With all this in mind, I believe that the Beacon arid Student Government ~epresentatives, who couldn't come up with an alternate to their concert which didn't come off, owe Ms. Seleski an apology. An apology meant not only for their unwarranted remarks in last week's paper but also for not coming forward before the weekend to offer their suggestions and help. Perhaps the problem is that none of these "critics" had anything constructive to offer! Vincent Matteo To the Editor, I would like to comment on· the letter printed in the October 17 Beacon, hopefully to clear up a couple misconceptions. The proposed program in Spain was not to have been a "hectic tour situation" but rather three weeks of residence in one Spanish city, during which time students would have lived with Spanish families who did not speak English. There would have been four hours of class day (20 hours a wee~). The usual course at Wilkes meets three hours a week. Thus the total number of class hours included in the proposed in\erim course (not including excursions and special lectures by Spanish artists and intellectuals) would have been greater than that of the Spanish 204 course to be offered next semester: Spanish 204 is an introduction to Spanish history and culture. Don't you think that visiting gothic, cathedrals· and romanesque mona · steries after having studied about · them in class would give students a better idea of say, the medieval To the Editor, period, than just reading about them The Psychology Club members spent a great deal of time and effort in in Wilkes-Barre?

OBSERVER by Rich Colandrea Destruction, for the sake of itself, serves no meaningful purpose for anyone unless he is a sheer killjoy. No doubt, at certain times, people seem to get great pleasure destroying the property of others, yet are the first to squeal when their property is deliberatel-y damaged. · To date, there have been isolated incidents presumably of students taking the initiative to outwardly destroy and ruin property arou:'d this _campus. For instance, the recently installed parking gates have given students in a car, on a bike or on foot such smashing results. Around six gates have been snapped off during the past month or so. The Men's dormitory receives the brunt of damage as the glass windows are popular targets where people get their kicks. Not to mention the broken light fixtures, chairs, tables and scorched carpets which are great late night fun. The New Men 's dorm probably costs more to maintain than is worth. Now the Psychology Club has reported their Homecoming display damaged while the German Club has thoughts about those who tore down their Oktoberfest notices. In the past, other clubs and organizations have encountered such results. If these events seem trivial they might just be. But they are a sad indication of the behavior of some students on · this campus. When someone sees fit to unreasonably destroy the articles of others no matter what the cost or value, then they are in urgent need of help. These destructive acts will always jell in destructive people where at times they feel chosen to kick, smash, tear, pull or throw objects other than their own in order to be satisfied. The next time you seek to destroy, for no good reason private property, restrain momentarily; and run at th~ nearest brick wall.

Linebacker Woody Haydt has been spectacular against the run and pass, and could be the key to victory this afternoon.

Rowe's Boats gave them some trouble in the second game of the By Paul Domowitch season, but the Roughriders displayed their true form againstthe Dennison Howlers last week, popping them 27--0. Bob Balfour quarterbacks the The play of the Wilkes f\ridders last weekend reminded us of a quote, Roosevelt offense, with Zeke Sports . Chatter which appeared in "Sports Illustrated" magazine last week. The article, written by Larry Keith, dealt with Alfred University-and gave an inside look at small college football. The few words that made the greatest impression on us were spoken by Alfred coach Alex Yunevich, who said of his squad: "We ~ever lose. Finish second ~aybe, but we never l?se." The Colonels did not lose last weekend either. They played their hearts out against powerful Ithaca College, and finished in second by ten points. No one can be considered a loser, when they give 100 per cent effort, and that's exactly what coach Rollie Schmidt's boys did. , For one half of a ball game, their offense, undei: the brilliant guidance and play-calling ability of Greg Snyder, and their defense completely devastated the Blue Bombers and took a 14-7 lead into the locker room. The Bobby McBride fi~ld house was chaotic during intermission. Every player, from co-capta4ls Terry Blaum and Billy Horan down to the little-used reserves_were m ecstasy, and were not hiding what they felt. They were ready to go out in that second half and play some more inspired football. But Ithaca . . . powerful Ithaca did what they had to do in that final 30 minutes and pulled it out 24-14. Rollie Schmidt was disappointed over the loss. Who wouldn't be. They had one of the best grid teams in the East on the ropes, and couldn't put them away. But with that disappointment went justified pride. No one gave his boys any kind of a chance against the New Yorkers, and yet they came ever so close to upsetting them. Rollie, like ourselves realized the Colonels_ came of age in that game, and even though they are still a year away from nation'.11 recognition,_thi~ year:s squad is going to win itsel! _a Middle Atlantic Conference title, 1f nothing else. They have found a bomf1ed leader in Greg Snyder, and the defense, which was supposedly a weak spot, has played super football . A perfect example of the confidence that showed itself out on the Ralston gridiron on Saturday was the play of safety Dave Trethaway. With time ticking away in the first half, Dave picked off an enemy aerial and took it down the sidelines. With only twenty seconds remaining, the obvious move by Dave would have been to run it out of bounds at the twenty and save the precious seconds that remained. But Jake felt he could take it in, and turned upfield getting all the way to the four before being nailed. That's what ability and coming of age can do to a ball club. Snyder's two touchdown passes were two of the best calls we've seen a qua,tj:erback make in a long time. The first was a 24-yard scoring pass to BtlJ~:H.oran, in which Greg rolled right giving the indication of a run, and th'eTI,j:prowing against the grain to a wide open Horan.

Middle Atlantic Conference standings. Susquehanna is not going to make it a picnic for Wilkes though. The winner of this year's contest between Wilkes and Susquehanna will be awarded the Amos Alonzo Stagg trophy, symbolic of victory in the 15th annual Stagg Bowl, in honor of the late great grid mentor. Susquehanna University is deep in football tradition. Under the guidance of legendary coach Jim Garrett, who later went on to be an assistant coach with the New York Giants, the Crusaders compiled a 39-4-1 record between the years 1960 and 1964. But as the glory years dissipated for Susquehanna, Wilkes J:>egan a golden era of their own, which included their legendary 32-game winning streak. _ Chuck Smeltz, who earned allconference laurels in '73.

Many parents of the Colonelettes were on hand for the clash as this game was designated as Parents' Day 1974. Wilkes will now go down in NPWIAA history as the first team to earn the league's field hockey championship as this league was just formed this year., Misericordia was really fired up in the first half, while Wilkes was sluggish and had trouble putting plays together. But, the second half belonged to Wilkes. Diane Jones and Debbie Titus had many key interceptions and set up plays for the offense. Miss Jones played one of the better games of her career and should be credited with tough "heads-up" defensive play. Barb Long and Angela Centrella set the offense in motion with their Ellen Schwartz, Marivita Saleski, fine passing. The whole line rushed Barb Long, (2), and Penny Bianconi. well in the second half which W;,lS Coach Gay Meyers commented, reflected in -the Blue and Gold " Penny could do no wrong; she was scoring. Penny Bianconi exploded rushing harder than I've ever seen for three goals while Miss Centrella and really hustled all day.

Wilkes the line had some good passing and enters the game with a season dodging. Assists were credited to overall record of 4-3-1. Lawlor Is Tough The offensive · attack is led by stellar sophomore halfback Tim Lawlor. The 5'10, 175-pounder was the first freshman in Susquehanna history to gain over 500 rushing yards in one season. Lawlor turned . the trick last annum, collecting 669. Tim is a top candidate for All-Mac honors this season. Handling the quarterbacking duties is senior Mike Butterbaugh. Mike stands 6'0, 170 pounds, and completed nearly 50 per cent of his passes last season. Mike's favorite target is split end Jeff Stelty. Stelty, a junior, had 26 receptions last season, which was good for 340 yards. In his first two contests this year, he has hauled in 17 aerials for 225 yards! The key to a Colonel win will be shutting off the ButterbaughStelty combination, along with containing Lawlor's running. Although they are last in total defense, giving up an average of 358 yards per game, the Crusaders have posted two shutouts this season already. Key to the Susquehanna " D" is 5'11, 205-pound defensive end TIM LAWLO_R . , Juniata Indians 'Pound Albright To Put Colonels On Top Of MAC With 2-0 Log By virtue of Juniata's exciting 28-27 victory over previously undefeated Albright College last weekend, the Wilkes College gridders have taken sole possession of first place in the Middle Atlantic Conference "Northern Division." The Colonels were idle in conference play last weekend, but travel to Selinsgrove, Pa. this Saturday to take on arch-rival Susquehanna in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl. Albright will oppose Gettysburg in Reading. The MAC statistic leaders were released Tuesday, and despite W L T PCT. having very few individual leaqers, almost 300 themselves.

Overall, the Crusaders are a team, _ who can give anyone a tustle when they want to play. They proved that against Juniata, when they outplayed them for three full quarters, before succumbing 21-7. Their win last week indicates that their spirits are high, but Wilkes will be their toughest opponent to •date, and Rollie and his boys want that MAC crown so bad they can taste it.' Although last week's loss to Ithaca may have a detrimental effect on the Colonel's, they will be just too much for the home team to handle. The Wilkes running attack should have its best afternoon of the 1974 season, and when the final whistle blows, Susquehanna will walk glumly away with a 2-4-1 log, and the Colonels will move another step forward, towards the Middle Atlantic Conference championship_,_ Wilkes by Jiine. BLOCKING WINS BALL GAMES-And fullback Fr~ddy Lohman (22) does it better than most. Here he is pictured leading the way for a partially hidden Rodney Smith in last Saturday's contest. When he wasn't blocking, Lohman was lugging the ball himself. Against the Blue Bombers he gained almost 80 yards on the ground. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The competition for constructed building projects was judged by an out-of-state jury. The award was presented for the design of the Wilkes College Science and Learning Center Building, shown above, recent~y c~mpl~t~d on S?uth River Street, Wilkes-Barre: Accepting the award on behalf of Wilkes College was Dr. ranc1s M1chehru, president, and on behalf of La<:y, Atherton & Davis, James o. Lacy. SLC Receives Architecture Award Wilkes College and the architect firm of Lacy, Atherton, and Davis were presented an award by the Pennsylvania Society of the American Institute of Architects for the design of the Wilkes College Science and Learning Center Building . The new building presented two unique design problems. First, it had to be connected to an existing structure - the Stark Science Building, and provide continuous circulation between the two buildings on all floors. Second, it had to be in harmonious scale with the much smaller existing buildings on either side even though it was to be a very large building. · The first problem was accomplished by a "U" shaped design for the new building so that. it joined the old building at either end to form a central courtyard entered on the street side through arcades in the new building; this courtyard was planned as the circulation center for daily student life. Trees, shrubs and flower-beds, plus h~mdsomely paved walkways, make tliis area an attractive place for students to meet friends and greet acquaintances on their way to exhibits for maximum etfect. class.

It is a revival of what was once the very popular Winter Carnival Weekend. With the cancellation of the concert by Renaissance, the above groups felt that some other activity should be offered to the students as. a substitute. They came up with several ideas and finally settled on the Winter Carnival idea. They scouted around until the_y found a location that they felt offered a weekend affordable to the students. White View Resort, on Lake Wallenpaupack, has a two day and two night package. You will arrive on Friday evening and be assigned a cottage.

White View offers sledding (they provide the sleds), tobogganning (they provide the toboggans) with an 800 foot slope, skating ( bring your <;>wn skates), a game room with a fireplace, and a small lounge with a fireplace. For those who like skiing, Tanglewood is located about 15 minutes away. Due to high cost, there will be a limit of 200 people who can attend. The five groups mentioned above have between them contributed about ~300 to bring tlie cost down to $20 per .Wilkes College student. If there are any tickets left, they will be offered to non-students at a cost somewhere between $25 and $30. The cost includes all of the services mentioned. transportation (Continued on Page 4) • F.

Don't walk into the voting booth and just decide to pull the yes or no lever, · read as much about the issue and consider it before you go .to vote. Make a sound decision before you enter the booth, a decision based on knowledge and thought, not on a whim or reluctance to change. ~~:;: i:l:i:l:i:i:i:i: ' . ..

Don Quixote . . . " More than a beautiful visualization of the illustrious adventures and escapades of the ttagi-comic knight errant .. . an affectingly warm and human exposition of character." Nikolai Cherkassov, who played the title roles in "Alexander Nevsky" and " Ivan the Terrible," stars in this faithful adaptation of Cervantes' novel. Unlike some of the other actors who have g.ortrayed the knight, Cherkassov - does not caricature him. Don Quixote is pictured as a g1 acious symbol of good, moving sincerely in a world of cynics, hypocrites and rogues. The age-old conflict between idealism and reality is made extremely poignant in this intelligent adaptation.

Sports Chatter Roosevelt • And B utler Lose First By Paul Domowitch · Close ·c all It wasn't exactly what you would call a runaway, but the final score showedthe Colonels a winner 10-8, and that's all that mattered. Holding on to a 10-0 lead last Saturday at Susquehanna, which seemed more than enough of a bulge the way the fired-up Colonel defense was playing, Wilkes saw the momentum shift to the Crusaders in the final period, when they mounted a scoring drive spanning an incredible 24 plays and nine minutes! Deciding to go for two, Susquehanna succeeded, and suddenly the home squad was trailing the Wilkesmen by a meager two points. Susquehanna got their hands on the ball again, and moved it into field goal range for their spectacular kicking specialist Chuck Smeltz. Only :49 seconds remained as Smeltz put his foot into the pigskin on the 38-yard stripe ( a 48-yard attempt ). It went straight as an arrow, but fell "two yards" in front of the cross bar. Well, you know what they say : "victory is victory, whether it be by one point or a thousand." Coach Rollie Schmidt has every right to be proud of his squad this year, especially the defense. Led by linebacker Steve Leskiw, who has been in on almost 40 tackles in the last two contests, the " D" put up a great goal-line stand against the Crusaders, only to be spurned on fourth down by a roll left, pass right play. The Susquehanna signal caller caug!tt th~ Colonels shifting just a bit too much. But their performance on the previous three plays, when Susquehanna had a first down on the three yard-line was nothing short of great. , The Blue and Gold secondary received a telling blow in the first period Saturday, when safety Dave Trethaway injured his hand, and sat out the ' remainder of the contest. Jake should be ready for the Upsala encounter however, as should co-captain Billy Horan, who re-injured his knee in the Ithaca battle. We have to question the coaching strategy of Susquehanna mentor Jim Hazlett for a decision he made Saturday. After his team crossed the Colonel 35-yard line, and got a first down with well over a minute and a half remaining in the game, Hazlett ran three straight dive plays, and was willing to put the entire balance of the game in the leg of Chuck Smeltz. Smeltz missed by two yards of course, and if his team would have gotten him just a little closer , the Colonel smiles would have turned to looks of anguish. Well, Susquehanna blunders are our reward.- Weisenfluh Hurting The Wilkes College wrestling team has begµn practice in preparation for their early December opening against powerful Lehigh University. Unlike last season, when the Colonel grapplers were forced to. take on the Engineers in enemy territory, this year's match will be in the friendly confines of the Wilkes gymnasium, before a packed house of Blue and Gold rooters. Coach Reese has already come up with a problem however. Jim Weisenfluh, who has the potential to become one of the finest upperweight wrestlers the school has ever produced, has injured his knee. When this paper went to press, the x-rays were not in yet, but the suooosition is a torn knee cartilage. If the x-rays determine this to be true , coach Ree~e wo~ld like to have Junmy get It repaired immediately, so he can be back m action by possibly the Navy meet. Recovering to 100 per cent potentia~ from an operation of this sort varies with the individual, but usuall~ 1t c~ be anywhere from four to six weeks. There have been exceptional cases however. An Oregon University grappler once was back on the mats 12 days after being under the knife! Only time will tell. Meanwhile, the remainder of the Colonel "family " seem willing and able to bring another Division III national championship trophy to the old homestead, before turning big-time (D~vision I) in 1975. IM Superstars DOUBLE TEAMED-Larry Gurnari (left ), and Bob Klish (right) , two of the stalwart defensive performers for the undefeated Rams in the IM Football League are all over Roosevelt receiver Bob Armstrong. Behind aggressive play like this, the Rams went on to defeat previously unbeaten Roosevelt 6-0. There are still a few seats left on the fan bus to the Wilkes-Upsala football game this Saturday in East Orange, New Jersey. Cost of the round trip ducat is $7 .50, and anyone interested in purchasing the few available is asked to contact Mr. Art Hoover, director of student activities, on the third floor of Weckesser Hall. ·U ·__; ·\ Hour Of Decision' Arrives For Booters 1 The time is now for the Blue and Gold soccer team as they face MAC sectional foes Susquehanna and Elizabethtown in decisive encounters the next two Saturdays.

Jack ~eller, who is known to Colonel athletic viewers more for his outstanding play on the ~seball diamond, has turned a few heads as a punting specialist in IM football. Playing for the Rams, who are currently undefeated, Jack has been_ drilling them well over 50 yards time and time again.

Winter, the team's ace quarterback, ran for two scores, and passed to split end Joe Leone for the final tally of the afternoon. The Webster II defense held highly touted Butler signal caller, John Pinelli in check most of the afternoon, but John managed one scoring toss · to teammate Steve Coleman late in the opening half. However , Winter put it away on his team's first possession of the second half, going over from the ten, behind some formidable blocking. It took an 11-yard scoring toss from I Rich Cronauer to halfback Mike Ellis with three minutes remaining in the game to give the Rams their fourth victory of the year over the tough Roosevelt Roughriders. It looked like the powerhouse Rams were going to have to settle for a 0-0 tie, before they got their option offense moving late in the contest. Ellis broke loose to the outside for a 15-yard gain, and Cronauer kept for another 15, setting the stage for the winning aerial. Chmiola Picks Off Two The Ram defense, le d by roverba ck Joe Chmiola's two interceptions, and great line play, contained the powerful Roughrider running attack almost the entire game. Roosevelt did get a chance to score at the conclusion of the first half however. With quarterback Bob Balfour keeping, and running for substantial gains, and a major penalty charged against the Rams, Roosevelt moved the ball to the Ram 11 yard line with only eight seconds remaining in the half. They attempted a field goal and Don Nash's kick had the distance, but was wide by inches.

SG Will Keep Two Voting Stations, Frosh Elections Declared Invalid In a short and comparatively unproductive meeting, Student Government decided to retain the voting stations in the Commons and in the Lobby of the New Men's Dorm. The proposal to have one voting boothin in the Student Union Building came after the statement that the Freshman elections were invalidated. Apparently Circle K failed to set up a voting booth in the New men's Dorm during the posted hours. Gina O'Brien led the debate to retain th~ present voting areas. She stated that the ballot boxes were in heavily traveled areas and to move them to the SUB would result in lower student participation. There were barely enough members in attendance to take a vote. The motion passed, 7 to 6 with no abstentions. Polly Seleski was present to read the final report of the Homecoming budget . .Student Government spent $2904 in subsidizing the four days of activities. An itemized breakdown is available at the Student Government offices. After readirig her report, Polly left for parts unknown. Probably because Student Government wasn't doing anything interesting. Stewart Feeney, president of Student Government, asked if any of the representatives would consider attending a student lobby to be held Registration Set For Ne1N Semester at Penn State's main campus. When this reporter asked Feeney to elaborate· on what- happens at a student lobby, he .said that he would rather not discuss it at the time because it was then 12 days away.

'"'" College Resident Tells Semester Woes See Your Advisor Dear Mr. Editor: I just thought I'd drop you a line and let you know how my semester is coming along. I read all the letters you get evety week. Everyone around here seems to have a lot to complain about and they all depend on you to help them solve their problems. I feel sorry for you but you asked for it. So, I thought I'd add my few small suggestions to improve Wilkes College life. First of all I think that the library shoUld be open 24 hours a day every day. I get the urge to study at 3 o'clock in the morning sometimes Every Fall and every Spring, students go through the process of registering for the next . semesters courses. For some it is a tim_e of confusion, to others a simple proces-s requiring little effort. All students have one thing in comrr,on at this time-or they should. They meet with their faculty advisor. For many students, registration is the onJy time they ever see their advisors. Some students never even bother to see them then either, they have another member of the department ...sign for them. This is not right. Students and their faculty advisors could develop a .meanir:tgful relationship which could benefit both the students and the faculty. Students would have someone to talk to and help them with their academic planning and problems. The faculty would discover more about the students they teach and wou Id receive student feedback. This give and take relationship would be a constructive one benefitting all involved. Bl;Jme for the lack of such relationships rests on both the stud~:mts and the faculty. Too often the student just doesn't want to develop the _relationship, other times the teacher isn't available for student conferer.ces or just doesn't care to get involved. 'I i;:::~3 and I'm disappointed when I find that the ·library is closed. I'm sure there are many more like me and as long as I had to sell my antique car collection to get money to pay for my tuition I feel I shoUld get my money's worth. Secondly, I think that easy chairs and foot stools shoUld be installed in the classrooms.

Block, assistant professor of Philosophy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will present a public lecture, "IQ: Heritability, Inequality, and its Social Effects," on Tuesday, November 12, 1974, at 8:30 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts lounge. Dr. Block's lecture is being presented under the auspices of the Thales Philosophical Society of Wilkes College, in cooperation with the Departments of Philosophy and Biology, the Sociology Club, and the Biological Society. Dr. Block is co-editor, with the noted philosopher Gerald Dworkin, of the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, of THE IQ Controversy: Critical Readings (forthcoming). He has written numerous articles for philosophical and psychological journals. . In addition to his philosophical training, · Dr. Block has been a postdoctoral F ellow in the Department of Psychology at MIT. Professor Block has been concerned with the issue of the meaning and social import of the construct of IQ. This issue has come into a special prominence in recent years, especially in the works of Jensen and Hernstein, who have claimed that IQ is an inheritable trait, and who have accordingly advocated a segregated education for persons of differentiated, inherited IQ's. Dr. Block is interested in two major issues of the IQ controversy: first, the conceptual and factual issues arising ot of tqe use of IQ testing; and second, the issue which will form the subject for his presentation at Wilkes College, i.e. , the issue of the social, political, and educational implications of the • tthesis that IQ has a high heritability, and the problem of the morality of research and writing concerning the subject of genetic, racial IQ differentiation. Block rejects the thesis that IQ's can measure intelligence, claiming that the very concept of intelligence is too inexact to function as a criterion for differentiating human performance, especially with relation to racial or ethnic groups. He is highly critical of the attempts to use the concept .of heritability of IQ as a means of segregating persons into classes. On the whole, he sees potential for considerable social harm of the concept of heritability of IQ is made a basis for public policy.

Getting Up For The Little Ones Upsala was a ·bad team. They lacked talent, spirit, and aggressiveness. And what's more, they lacked belief in themselves. When they took the field last Saturday, against the Colonels, they knew they were beaten even before Rodney " the Rocket" Smith rambled into the endzone with the first Blue and Gold score. Their own school newspaper belittled them, and t:-ie fans came more to get a good laugh than to see a grid contest. But somehow, this poor excuse for a football team managed to come within eight points of beating what is in our mind the best team in the entire Middle Atlantic Conference (Northern and Southern Divisions). With the exception ofime of the weirdest scoring tosses we've ever seen, the Viking offense was useless, but the startling consequence of the game is that the Colonels racked up almost 350 total yards in offensive production, .and yet only managed two meager scores. Coach Rollie Schmidt was not happy, quarterback Greg Snyder was not happy, and tight end George Abraham has felt better about winning. They know they should have done better, and yet, there is no use crying over spilled milk. The Wilkesmen are entering the two most lIIlportant contests of their collegiate careers during the next two weeks, and they do not have any time to look back on what should have been. Instead, they must concentrate on what could be . . . a Middle Atlantic Conference championship. Unlike Up~ala_, Delaware Valley has more talent, more aggressiveness, and more pride m-themselves. They are not going to be beaten easily, and (:;()a~h Schmidt '!ill try to lodge that into his gridders' heads this week . have to do it. The big title game with Albright may be another week a way, but Del Val is intent on making this coming Saturday a nightmare for Wilkes College. There is no title race for the Aggies in 1974, and that's exactly why the Colonels must be up. A team without pressure weighing it down, and only upset on its mind, can many times be a tougher obstacle than a title contender. Ask Notre Dame about Purdue, or any other team which saw its dream of glory muddled by squads they never imagined could even step on the same playing field with themselves. Think about it. / Football Parents . To Sponsor Dinner Again this year the Wilkes Fooitball Parents' Club has planned an Appreciation Dinner for members of the 1974 Colonels grid squad. The affair will be held on Sunday, November 17, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Plains American Legion. . In addition to a fine family-style meal and short program, all members of the squad will be introduced and presented with a gift. And, as in the past, our respected and genial football coach, Rollie Schmidt, will offer some comment. All in all, this Appreciation Dinner provides all of us who are · parents and friends of Wilkes football an opportunity to show our appreciation to a truly great group of young men who give so much for us. Plan now to be present so that the team will see and know that we're proud of them. The Dinner is open to you and to your friends and tickets are available for $6 per person. Reservations can be made and tickets purchased before Novem ber 13 by writing or calling Art Hoover at the Alumni Relations - Student Activities Office, Third Floor of Weckesser Hall. The Colonel cross-eountry team will close out its 1974 season this coming Saturday, when they travel to Fairmont Park in the City of Brotherly Love to participate in the 19th annual Middle Atlantic Conference championships. Coach George Pawlush is sending 10 runners down to the event, with his top six running varsity, and four competing in the junior varisity event. The six Blue and Gold harriers who will attempt to improve the Colonel's 1973 finish of 16th place are Paul Boris, Mark Zavoy, Steve Standiford, Dave Kowalek. Barry Wildoher. and Eel Bosha. · Zavoy, who is the captain of the squad, despite being , only a sophomore, placed 37th in the competition last year with a clocking of 29:19. Coach Pawlush feels that if Mark can improve that time by more than a minute on Saturday, the Coughlin High alumnus may have a chance at finishing among the top 15. Boris, only a freshman, has been up and down the latter part of the NOTICE campaign, but has the speed to break into the top ten with a super Anyone interested in playing performance.

The Blue Jays are undefeated in "Northern Section" competition, while the Colonel's log is marred by that one loss. Biggest problem for coach Rokita this season has been finding a goalie. Don Nardone started the season 1n the nets and looked good .in the season opener, but was injured and has not returned to action. After Nardone, the Colonels utilized Steve Chaldoff as Nardone's replacement, but he too was injured. Then, the third Colonel goalie, Steve Sergi, hurt his arm a few weeks back, and the team was left without an experienced man to guard the nets. Rokita persuaded last year's varsity goalie, Don Mock to come back out for the team, and Donny found himself in the starting lineup last Saturday. But the long layoff was just too much, and the Crusaders notched five scores into the chords. Saturday's contest will mark the end of collegiate soccer careers for six Colonels seniors.

Add J>restige To The Wilkes College Name' The obstac.les in the way of the Colonel gridder's first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in five years has dwindled to only two now, with one of them, the Delaware Valley Aggies traveling to Ralston Field this Saturday afternoon, to take on the Wilkesmen of coach Rollie Schmidt in the third annual Anthracite Bowl. A victory by Wilkes will clinch at least a tie for first place in the MAC, and set the stage for the all-important clash with Albright next week in Reading. The Aggies, 2-5 on the season, are a young team and are still a few years away from being a contender, but they have shown promise and cannot be taken lightly. They are coming off of an 18-7 defeat at the hands of Juniata, and would like nothing better than to rebound with a victory on the Ralston turf Saturday. Use the Veer Operating out of the veer offense, the same used by the Colonels, Del Val is lead by the running of all-MAC halfback Floyd Alderferer, who has picked up 482 yards on the season in 127 carries, for a 3.8 .average. Alderferer was the second leading rusher in the Middle Atlantic Conference " Northern Divison" last season, and broke the Aggie rushing ~ecord last week against Juniata, when he surpassed the 1770 mark. The Aggie attack is led by freshman quarterback Tim Orr, who is made in the same ·mold as former Aggie immortal Jim Foote, who is now playing for the· Houston Oilers of the National Football League. Orr, at 6-3, 190 pounds, has a strong arm, but has completed only 37 of 116 attempts this season, while throwing nine interceptions. His size and power make Orr a very capable runner, giving the Aggies a diversified attack, much like Wilkes. Thus far in '74, Del Val has averaged 130.7 yards a game on the ground, while accumulating 131.5 yards a contest through .the air. _The completion yardage ratio per pass shows the Aggies averaging 25 yards a reception, which · proves the Doylestown squad likes to throw long quite a bit. Working off of play action passes, they try to give their receivers that extra step, and let them outrun the opposing defensive back on quite a few post patterns. . Big "Butterball" Defensively, the Aggies work out of a 4-3 formation, and count "heavily" on tackle Al Bartlebaugh (6-2, 250 ) to clog up the middle and stop the run. Colonel 1,nestling fans will remember " Butterball" from his intense grappling rivalry with Blue and gold heavyweight Al Scharer over the past two years.

To the Editor : _ It is time that the Wilkes College administration begins to realize that they are catering to students who have hundreds of other colleges available for them to attend. Sure, Wilkes gives its students an education which is the reason for attending college, but in this day of high prices and declining college enrollments, Wilkes should offer more than just an education for $3,200 a year. It is a fact that many college students own cars. Many of us who do own cars have paid for them and pay car insurance like any faculty member who owns a car. Yet Wilkes officials ask us to leave our cars home. They erected parking gate_s at the the college going to ~aste replacing open for student use, especially for entrance of every parking lot , on broken gates before 1t at least shows us in the New Men's Dorm where campus including the lot right by our an attempt to help its students solve there are no refrigerators available own dormitory and the Jewish lot their parking problem rather than for student use?

With _a playoff berth hanging in the wings, once beaten Butler and Webster battle this afternoon at 4 p.m. on the Ralston Field turf to decide who will go on to participate in next week's postseason action. Butler has displayed an awesome offense thus far this season, rolling up almost 25 points a game in its five previous outings.

BOBBY MCBRIDE Five year~ is a long time, but it will have been worth the wait if the Colonel gridders can down Albright this Saturday and lay sole claim to the Middle Atlantic Conference football championship. • Time was, when this was a yearly possession for the Wilkesmen, but the tide turned at the end of the last decade and the illustrious MAC title trophy has-not rested in the Wilkes award case since 1969. For a minute there last Saturday, it•aJjpeared 1974 would end in utter disaster, but coach Rollie Schmidt's team finally got down to business and cooked the Del Val Aggies 24-14. It took sub quarterback Chuck Suppon to shake the complacencies out of the Colonels, and he did it in heroic proportions. Coming off of the bench in the second half, the Wyoming Valley West grad led the Colonel offense in for two scores; capping his story book -performance with a one yard plunge for the score that put Wilkes irito the lead for good. As the Blue and Gold carried Chuck back to the bench in jubilance and he raised his hands to give the "we're number one" sign, everyone realized how important this Middle Atlantic Conference championship really was to these kids. After two lackluster performances the previous weeks, critics felt this team just didn't want that title. But that comeback performance ~turday proved them wrong. Despite the importance of the Del Val game, it was hard for the team to get"really sky high for the Aggies after seeing that 2-5 win-loss record in print. Rollie told them they were better than that,' but it took one half of a ball game to find out for themselves. At halftime, coach Schmidt didn't give them a repeat of Pat O'Brien's moving locker room speech from ''the Knµte Rockne Story." He just concentrated on correcting the malfunctions ir. the Colonel defense. Schmidt felt he didn't have to kick this team in the head to make them realize what was on the line. They hadn't wasted pounds of sweat and even a few drops of blood on that gridiron since mid-August for nothing. Getting up mentally for that second crucial half of play would have to come from within each and every man on that team. An(,i. the results speak for themselves. We know it's probably repetitious to keep yapping about the family atmosphere on Wilkes College athletic teams, but it's true. The wrestlers were the most significant possessors of this unique quality in today's sports, but the basketball squad is also very close. And now, with that chafnpionship ever so close, the situation presents itself on the football team, and it could be a very important factor. Sure there have been a few scenes of temperament by some of the players. You just don't bump heads day in and day out and not get peeved at each other once in a while. But on the whole, these kids are close. Why, you ask? It's simple. Wilkes College is not a football factory. Probably none of the Colonels will ever go on to play pro ball. Winning isn't a do or die effort. Instead of making a business out of college football, Wil~es has kept it a sport, where winning is a matter of pride; pride in yourself, and pride in your team. That pride is a personal emotion, which emits itself time and time again. And for the Wilkesmen, it's the pride of succeeding as a team and not as an individual. Tli.ere are no $100,000 contracts waiting to be signed by these boys. The only reward is congratulations from their teammates and fans, dnd many times that can be worth much more than money. And winning that MAC title will earn the Colonels myriads of congratulations and respect in addition to a trophy which says in effect: we are the best. · COLONEL COACHING STAFF-Much of the credit for producing a winning football team must go to the) As the song goes: " It's been a long time baby."

It has been five long years since the Colonels last captured the MAC crown, but a victory Saturday will put an end to that drought. A loss to the Lions will enable Albright and Juniata to share the diadem with thr Blue and Gold. Running out of a "wishbone offense," Albright is 6-2 on the year, but is coming off of a surprising 33-6 defeat at the hands of Lebanon Valley. It has been nine years since the Lions and the Colonels have clashed on the gridiron, and ironically, that last meeting determined the MAC champ that year, also with Wilkes pulverizing Albright 37-7 to give them their first title in history. The Blue and Gold went on to win four more MAC crowns, but have not turned the trick since 1969. Only other meeting between the two institutions was in 1964, with the RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE-Delaware Valley's quarterback, Tim Orr is shown here being pursued by a Lions prevailing 48-14. number of Wilkes defenders in action from last week's contest, which the Colonels won 24-14.

While their defense against the rush is not bad, they are very susceptible to the aerial, and victory may hinge on signal caller Greg Snyder's arm. The Colonel defense is well adept to contain the Albright "wishbone," with ends Don Kulick and Lou Maczuga both possessing the great lateral pursuit to stop the running offense. The big key to stopping Albright however, will rest on the Blue and Gold outside linebackers, who will have to keep the Lion halfbacks from turning the corner and heading up field.

Albright's speedy halfback Kevin Daniels is pacing the league in rushing with 511 yards on 60 carries for 8.5 average. Trailing Daniels is Delaware Valley's Floyd .Alderfer with 488 yards on 122 carries. Mike Buterbaugh, the outstanding quarterback from Susquehanna University leads the MAC in total offensive production as well as passing: He has been completing nearly sixty per cent of his aerials, and can also run when it is l}ecessary. Leading in both the pass receiving and scoring categories is Juniata's premier end, Pete Lentini. Lentini has caught 23 aerials in six games for 561 yards, and has crossed the goal line on eight occasions for 48 points. With a fine day against the Aggies last weekend, Wilkes' Donny McDermott has moved within .3 of a yard of surpassing Susquehanna's Pete Rambo for the MAC lead in punting. Rambo is averaging 37.7 yards a boom, while Donny has a 37.4 average. • � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Throughout t~e country grades are on the uprise. Cumulative averages are higher than ever before, and people are questioning this grade inflation. Our problem here at Wilkes is different than the one at most schools. Our average grades have risen over the past two semesters but the rise is insignificilnt in. comparison to other schools. This is the root of the problem. We feel that the quality of education at Wilkes is just as good, if not better, than the quality of education offered at schools with lower grade standards. A 2 in a particular course here may be the equivalent of a 3 in a similar course at another school. Many teachers consider a 2 to be an acceptable average grade but to students it is often not enough. To get into graduate school or to face the job market a high cum is very i mportant. A Wilkes student with a 2.6 may have better qua I if i cations and a better educational background than a student with a 3.2 from another school with a lower quality education. But the one with the 3.2 cum has a better chance of getting that sought-after job because of what's actually on "the record." We feel that teachers should evaluate students on the basis of their work. But we feel that good marks are harder to get here than at many other schools. A teacher shouldn't have to worry about giving too many A's or too many C's, but the fact remains that -the former could lower our standards and the latter could hurt student marketability. The system is a bundle of contradictions. There doesn't seem to be an answer. We do advocate an honest evaluation of the student's achievement. Above all things, the grading system must remain fair. At the same time there should be a way to equate standards set up by all colleges so a particular grade at one would be the same for all. ( Credits are transferrable but cumulative averages are not). We feel that we have the better quality education, but will we have a chance to prove it? Or will we have to make. a choice_between sacrificing quality education and high stand~rds or jeopardizing the student's future? What's the answer? , ,_ To the Editor: Following is a slightly touched-up excerpt from a letter I recently wrote to a friend about college life, and things in general.

Summer Russian Seminar Scheduled In Leningrad I i~ �November 21, 1974 THE BEACON Facu Forum TheBY DR. Food Crisis CHARLES REIF Chairman, Department of Biology The BEACON has asked that I write a few words on the "food crisis" and \ . at the risk of sounding like a broken record I am pleased to do so. However, .. the food crisis is only part of the status quo; perhaps environmental crisis is better. Food is the source of energy for animals and so food is part of the 1 energy crisis. Only plants can satisfy their nutritional needs with inorganic supplies; animals unfortunately must depend on the efforts of plants and other animals to supply their food. Ever since animals were invented various populations of animals have been on short rations. Food crises have been part of the picture for half a billion years. Human history has been marked by starvation of peoples whose local situations have been unfavorable . What is different today is that the human species has • exceeded the carrying capacity of Mother Earth. Populational density-dependent factors of the environment in operation today for the first time are the bases of social interactions which are new in human history. If the situation which exists today ever imroves, millions of human beings will have died from starvation or attendant diseases. If the situation is ever ::orrected, the human species will then have discovered some way, humanely acceptable, to reduce its population, and will never again allow the number of people living at any one time to exce ' d the carrying capacity of Earth. Many ecological facts relate to the environmental crisis. Nature does not value individuals. Nature does not guarantee rights to any individual or any species, family, class, or phylum. The course of evolution is littered with all sorts of examples of plants and animals which were not successful DANCE MARATHON-The Circle K Club of Wilkes College will conduct a Dance Marat on for Multiple in living within the means provided by the environment.

Webster II finished the regular season as champion in the West, with Butler the runnerup. Butler lost only one game during the season and that was a 30-18 defeat at the hands of this very Webster II unit. Butler House totally surprised the Eastern Division champion Rams on Monday afternoon, running over them 19-0, to end the Rams aspirations for the IM crown. The Rams seemed to be getting it together offensively the initial drive of the game, but an interception by a Butler linebacker gave them the ball on the Ram thirty yard line. Two plays later, Butler quarterback Dave Orischak surprised everyone including the Ram defense, and bootlegged around right end for ten yards and the score. The extra .point attempt was good. The Rams came back on the passing of quarterback Rich Cronauer to Bill Kalish, but their drive was halted 20 yards short of a score, and Butler took over. · The score stood Butler, 7-0 at the half. Butler took the second half kickoff and started moving again. A pair of penalties against the Ram defense aided the cause, and with ten minutes left in the contest, Orischak took it up the middle for a 15 yard score, to practically put the game out of reach ,, f/OW tT'S YO\)~ TURN" for the Rams. With eight minutes remaining, a Butler defender pick~d off another Cronauer pass, and from there, it was Just a matter of time. Keeping it on the ground for a while, Butler still managed another pair of first downs, and with the help of a personal foul call on the Rams with three minutes remaining, Butler had a first down on the four yard line. With the Ram defense looking for the run Orischak mixed them up and found tight end Stev~ Coleman crossing over the middle for the final Butler score. Orischak's scrambling ability enabled him to keep the Rams at bay all afternoon, as he completed nearly 80 per cent of his passes. Roosevelt game it everything they had on Tuesday afternoon, but it just wasn't quite enough as they lost to powerful Webster II, 6-0. Webster II wasted little time getting their first and only score, with quarterback Billy Winter scampering 35-yards for the deciding tally in the first six minutes of play. After that, it was just a matter of stopping the heralded Roosevelt offense. Bob Armstrong, the · Roosevelt back who broke away for a touchdown on Friday against the Purple Gang to put his team in the playoffs, was shut off completely and Roosevelt was forced to go to the air. There also, Webster II played flawlessly, and it was a Vinnie Krill interception that killed Roosevelt's only serious drive of the day, late in the first h::ilf.

BY PAUL DOMOWITCH VICTORY IS SWEET-Colonel co-captains Bill Horan and Terry Blaum are shown here holding the trophy emblamatic of winning the Pretzel Bowl last Saturday in Reading. The victory also gave Wilkes their first MAC title in five years. Sunday evening's Football Parent's Club Appreciation Dinner at the Plains American Legion marked the official conclusion of Wilkes College's version of "That Championship Season." Mixed with proportions of both success and misfortune, 1974 turned out to be quite a year for the Colonels. Since mid-August these kids have been after an MAC ·championship, and Saturday afternoon marked the end of that quest. For many, it was a frustrating season however, despite the team's first title in five years. Take Bill Horan. Billy, the Colonel co-captain along with Terry Blaum started out this season with aspirations of becoming the greatest pass receiver to ever wear a Colonel uniform. But as in the past, Horan was plagued with injuries, and caught only one pass all season. Being part of a championship team is a magnificent feeling, but for someone like Billy, who possesses outstanding talent and could 'have made a good team better, watching from the sidelines in "civilian clothes" is an unexplainable torture. Nine weeks have dwindled by so quickly. Had the Colonels been losing instead of winning, those nine weeks may have seemed like nine years. But victory has a habit of making the days &eem like hours. It all started on September 21, when Wilkes took the field on a cloudy Saturday afternoon to take on powerful C. W. Post. Optimism on the .Blue and Gold was high, because of the knowledge that Post's AU.American · quarterback Eddie Powers had been injured the previous week against Western Kentucky, and would not see action against the Schmidtmen. But that optimism soon fluctuated as Post put a pair of quick scores on the board to go out in front. By the second half, rain came down in buckets, and with the precipitation seemed to go the Colonel fortunes. Final_ score: 44-6, Post. CAGE SENIORS-The experience of these four Colonel seniors will play an important role in the success of the Blue and Gold cagers this season.

(Con tinued on Page 9) Apparently, "The Family Educational Rights and Privacy- Act of 1974" or the Buckley Act, has caused - minimal concern among Wilkes students, according to Doris Barker, Registrar and George Ralston, Dean of Student Affairs. The Act gives to the college student the right of access to the student's college record. Mrs. Barker r eported, since November 19 of this year, when the Act took affect, only 3 students had questioned to see their files, in which -the college is allowed under law, a 45 day period to gather such records. Ralston expects the student interest to increase when more students . become aware of this right and hopes for the most part students will employ common sense concerning their personal files. The passage of this act not only pertains to students but to people involved in industry and to other concerns where personnel administration occurs. Ralston ·admitted that he thought the people who wrote the Act did not use much sense, that the Act was hastily drawn up, and was not properly scrutinized by enough professio nal people. More over he states , the Act " ac complished nothing at all". Since November 19-many colleges and universities have '' cleaned house" of student personnel records. · Stolen Goods From Dorm Total $1500 Ralston went on to say in the 45--day period, ·personal comments · could easily, although illegally, be erased, but said he himself has not altered one file. He said, "I've always tried to 'be as open as possible , with students and if they wish to see th~ir record, the college will comply_" . This will also, as Rafston explained, create careful objectivity on the part of high school teachers who might not be able to write honest appraisals without receiving feedback from a student. The Dean of Student Affairs, feels students who wish to view their files will be the ones in a highly competitive situation that have been unsuccessful in achieving some goal.· Assistant Dean of Men Edward Baltruchitis thinks this law· will be effective in that it will ·make the people who do evaluations more accountable in stating fact, and objective. At the same time he is disturbed that the act doesn't provide for measures to keep the information prior to November . 19 confidential, as the transcribers of such material were under the assumption that all records were to be kept confidential. He explained that Wilkes will cooper ate with the following guidelines: · 1) Tne college will establish procedures to view records 2) The college will establish proce<lures for students to _challenge remarks on their record 3) This law will appear in the · student handbook Baltruchitis stated he no longer maintains personal comments as they serve little use and are strictly for internal purposes. He feels that in about 10 years all criteria for admissions, such as rank, test scores, and comments, will be eliminated as admissions will be made on an open college system basis.

I " �Page 2 THE BEACON Crime At Wilkes It is unfortunate that vandalism and theft are once again the subject of discussion in this column, but perhaps a few words ,once again will wake a few people up. Crime is now becoming a problem at Wilkes College. It has long been a problem on other campuses, but until this year it has not been a great one here. That is changing. This past year has seen vandalism and theft occurriing more often. The destruction of Hom.ecom ing displays, the theft of minor ar:ticles; and now the theft at Denison Hall are all exampl es of the problem. We must all act if we are to stop such things from occurrir).9. The security men alone can not stop it from happening. We must all do our part in fighting crime. Make sure you lock your dormitory room or your car, don't leave your possessions unguarded in public areas, and report any vandalism or thefts you see. Holiday. Greetings The BEACON would like to take this opportunity to wish all of its readers a happy holiday season and the best.of everything in the coming year. Th is -past year has seen many developments at Wilkes College. The change in direction of Student Government, the excellent work of Commuter Council, and the program of entertainment set up by the Concert and Lecture Series Com·mittee are just a few of the good things at Wilkes. The year also brought bad things with it. The death of Samuel Rosenberg is one of these losses to the college. The next year should be an interesting one. We all look forward to the opening of the lecture hall in SLC and to any further expansion plans of the college. The social scene at Wilkes also shows hopes of improving. So, en joy your vacation and see you next semester. Beaeon Ed itor in Chief . .. .. ·.. ... .. . .. . .. .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .

For those able to read, the basic particulars on the program are found on pages 106 through 108 of the Wilkes College Bulletin. Included in these pages is information on the intent, purpose, rational, academic load-in other words, the facts. In addition, a separately staffed department under the directorship of Dean Ralph B. Rozelle was created to administer, coordinate, and provide guidance and eounsel to students enrolled in the program. Prior to Dean Rozelle, Dr. Edward B. Stockham was in charge of insuring that all candidates and perspective candidates were -"told what was happening". However, some gripe they were mislead by either Dr. Stockham or Dr Rozelle.

Broken windows, damaged phones, smashed glass doors, hurned carpets, graffiti , torn upholstered furniture and draperies, stolen fire extinguishers - these are just examples of damages occurring daily at Wilkes that account for approximately a $12,000 yearly expense. One of the most perplexing problems on all college campuses is how to deal effectively with malicious destruction, damage, and loss in residence · halls. As colleges fall into the misfortune of traditionally accepting these problems as a way of life, large amounts of money are being spent to repair unnecessary damages. This does not have to be a way of life, especially at Wilkes. As damage costs increase, the only logical solution will have to come through total cooperation among the Wilkes administration, students, and maintenance personnel. Administrators must be constantly striving to find out what is wrong with our buildings and then follow up with improvements if warranted. As an . administrator in the Housing Office, I feel that I should involve students by •incorporating their input into a plan to reduce damage problems and improve our campus environment. Such a plan has been adopted by the Inter Dormitory Council and hopefully will prove to be successful. Maintenance personnel can also play an important role by continuing to keep the buildings in good condition. Unrepaired damage fosters more damage. The best way to create frustrations and further damage is to wait until the end of the year to make repairs. Presently, the maintenance personnel spend the majority of their time repairing urinecessary damages that are occurring daily in campus buildings. The time and money spent on these tasks could and should be spent by making improvements and providing daily upkeep instead of just making repeated repairs . Students often complain about the ineffectiveness of the maintenance personnel at Wilkes. It is true that sufficient maintenance is a necessity. However , it must be remembered that it is impossible to provide adequate upkeep for 700 dorm students and approximately 1500 commuting students who like to use campus facilities, if students act irresponsibly and without regard for college property and fellow students. Although some residents feel that they are just having fun, damaging and defacing college property does not represent behavior which is conducive to community living. · It is obvious that student life in a dorm is directly conditioned by the way in which students live in that hall. I feel safe in writing that the majority of Wilkes students expect that their living environment will provide them the opportunity to pursue their commitments to their own self-advancement. Such a climate can only be obtained if all Wilkes students learn to respect each others property as well as college,property. Through this article I am appealing to all Wilkes students to examine his or her personal conduct, general attitude and level of cooperation regarding damages involving Wilkes College property. I am also equally appealing to the administration to listen to student complaints and involve these students in the decision making process as we strive to make Wilkes a better place to live. If we all work together as one community toward improving the atmosphere both in residence halls and on the campus, I am convinced that there will be an improvement of student life in general at Wilkes College. -------,-----· -r,1E!1\~ 'i C}Hh5 r m :q 5 td ~·~ HOLY CROSS FATHERS Infant Schools are a brand new market because approximately 50 per cent of the young mothers in the nation are working.

This allows the young Germans to experience the American life style ffrst-hand. Orientation programs, discussions with local officials and visits to sites of interest give the visiting students an insight into one area of the United States. Social gatherings also are an integral part of the program, promoting friendship between the American and German students. A week-long trip to Washington, D.C. is a highlight of the program. The program also provided Wilkes Students with a chance to experience life in the Federal Republic of Germany.

" Our commitment to young people, and especially to, those in the region immediately surrounding Wilkes College, is as o.ld as the college," he told the workers. "We are no different than any other college, business or home," he continued, " when we identify with the current economic situation. Costs have gone up for us, too. What makes it more of a hardship is that during t~e two years following the • I flood we did not raise our tu!tion, out of cons~deration to flood-affected families, and we ate two steps behind most institutions in current tuition costs. " In another related reference to the 1972 flood, Dr. Michelini said the second objective of the campaign to raise $250,000 in the community and from alumni is for " repairs and improvements to flood damaged properties." He explained that while the college received substantial aid from the federal government for -flood recovery there were many accompanying restoration projects (Continu ed on Page 6) · �Page 2 THE BEACON u___ · ~!

I Snow Removal The winter storm the area experienced on Sunday left about two inches of snow on the Wilkes campus. The snow was not removed by campus personnel · and turned into ice as the temperature dropped. This left the sidewalks with a dangerous coating of slippery ice. The ice was still there on Monday night and was still a danger not only to Wilkes students and personnel, but ,t-0 the general public as well. Some action was taken by the maintenance men, but it was not enough to eliminate the danger. Something must be done in the future when * the area. The ice left on the such a storm hits walks can cause serious injuries and pain to those slipping on it. It is time action is taken on th is problem. Happy New ·Year? It is the start of a new year and another semester. It is time when all those resolutions are made for self improvement and for the start of a new and better semester. T~e new year also brings the excitement and aflticipation of things to come. With the start of the semester let us hope that both administration, and students witb . the combined efforts of the leaders of the various campus organizations sit .down to rectify an increasing problem whose mood can be felt ;> through the campus, that is, apathy. The mood is growing and can be seen in any activity or sporting event held on campus. - Perhaps the student leaders can set up a meeting to form a committee, whose sole function would be to investigate the situation and locate the -cause or causes to the problem.

Concern Sports .Chatter They'say better late than never, but 2-MONTHS LATER? You bet. At the conclusion of the Colonel's very successful 1974 football season, which saw Wilkes capture their first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in five years, six of the team's gridders were given the auspicious honor of being selected all-conference. Mistakingly overslighted by this writer at that time, we would like them to take their bows now. There was only one repeater on the MAC "elite" 22, and that was the talented cornerback of the Blue and Gold, Freddy Marianacci. Marianacci, only a junior, is closing in on the Wilkes pass interception mark during a career, and should break it next season. The five newcomers to all-star honors are team co-captain and cornerbck Terry Blaum, linebacker Steve Leskiw, defensive end Lou Maczuga , offensive guard Frank Wengen, and fullback Fred Lohman. Gentlemen, congratulations. And that's not all. Head coach Rollie Schmidt, who did such a tremendous job guiding the Colonel's to the MAC diadem, was selected by his coaching peers as the 1974 recipient of the Middle Atlantic Conference "coach of the year" award. An honor such as this for one of the outstanding small-college coaches in the country has been a long time in coming; perhaps too long. Wilkes Open Notes It was a very disappointing semester break for the Wilkes College wrestling team. Participating in their own Wilkes Open tournament, the Blue and Gold grapplers fini&iled a dismal fourth, behind the championship Clarion State College squad, the New York Athletic Club and Delaware. It was the worst finish for the Wilkesmen at the Open in almost a decade. However, lanky 142 pound sophomore Mike Kassab gave Colonel fans something to cheer about, when he captured an individual title. His win in the finals came over Lock Haven State's Gary Walk, 6-3. Mike's route to the title looked like this : first round-decisioned Hughes of Slippery Rock, 6-1; quarterfinals-decisioned Young of Buffalo, 5-1; semi-finals-pinned Spencer of New York Athletic Club in 4:55; and finals-decisioned Walk, 6-3. The Colonel's defending national champ at 134 pounds, John Chakmakas, met with problems in the semi's, and never reacn,ed the championship round. West Chester State's Bill Racich fought back for a last minute takedown in regulation time to tie the bout, and then went to work on John in overtime, to beat him 9-3. Down but not out, Chak battled back to capture third, pounding Lock Haven's Ben Shipman 12-3 in the final consolation round. Gene Ashley had tp.e misfortune of meeting Syracuse's Ken Wilson in the quarterfinals, and came out on the short end of a 5-4 decision. Wilson placed third in last year's Eastern's. (Against Syracuse last Saturday in a dual meet, Ashley and Wilson drew). _ _ Heavyweight Al Scharer seemed to have finally found himself in the early rounds of the Open, but the quarterfinals loomed as his last stand as well. Charlie Wright of Buffalo, who finished second to Walter Grote of NY AC, nipped Big Al 51,_ the id_entical score that, sidelined Ashley. Two,two,two The win over the Montclair State wrestlers last week meant just a little bit more than usual for Colonel coach John Reese, who notched his 200th victory as a collegiate mentor. It's been an uphill struggle for Reese, since coming to Wilkes College 22 years ago. He took an almost non-existant wrestling program, and in two decades, has made it one of the most respected and powerful in the nation. You know, isn't it strange how things come in pairs? Two hundred victories, and possibly two straight national championships. It has a gFeat ring to it. MAC Northern Division Cage Standings W L 3 0 2 0 El izabethtown Upsala 3 Wagner 2 Ph i lf'.

Home Opener On Saturday For Mermen r--------------------------, BY MARIANNE MONTAGUE Wilkes swimmers face Philadelphia Textile in their first home meet of the season on Saturday afternoon at four o'clock at the Wilkes-Barre Aquadome. The Wilkes mermen have been successful in their last several encounters with the Textile team and are also optimistic about this one. Despite losses to Trenton State, Ursinus, and Lock Haven, the young Wilkes team is consistently improving and is anxious to add to their win column. The team set two new school · records at the December Lock · Haven meet. Rick Marchant, Garry Taroli, Jeff Jones and Ron Sweeda clocked a 3: 44.83 in the 400 free relay event. This broke the record of 3:48 set by -Marchant. Doug Mason, Ban:y Rasmussen, and Jeff Giberson in 1971. Freshman stand-out Ron Sweeda 's time of 2:24.75 gave him the record in the 200-yard backstroke event. The Wyoming Seminary grad topped the time of 2:27 set by Jim Phethean in 1967. Sweeda is one of the leading scorers for the team . He holds three second place awards for the 200 yard backstroke and two third place awards for the 200 yard individual medley. After Saturday's confrontation with Philadelphia Textile the team will face Widener, February 1, home; Lycoming, February 8, away: Binghamton State, February 12, home: Kutztown State, l<'ebruary 15, away : and Elizabethtown, February 22, home.

The Gallery Director, Assistant Professor Vivian Guyler and Assistant Professor Bernice D'Vorzon from the Art Department travelled to New York and selected thirty-five prints from the "Robert Blackburn Graphic Printmaking Workshop." Ths "Printmaking Workshop, In.," was founded in 1949 by its present director, painter-printer, Robert Blackburn. In the 1940's in New York William Stanley Hayter ( of "Atelier 17'' fame) and Robert Blackburn were responsible for the renaissance of interest in printmaking in the United States. Both · opened graphic workshops in New York City, Hayter 's internationally etching studio and Blackburn's lithography workshop. As time went on Hayter went back to Paris and Blackburn expanded his studio to include all printmaking media. Robert Blackburn in his own right is a well-known lithographer who has printed work for well-known artists and has taught lithography at many major institutions including Prat.t Institute, Cooper Union, Columbia and New York Universities. The prints on exhibition at the Sordoni Art Gallery were made by noted contemporary graphic artists who used the facilities at the "Hobert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop." All media are included i• this exhibit. In addition there is a large diversity of style, size , combinations, experiments, tradilional prints and the very latest advances which should appeal to a great variety of tastes.

In the " A" Division, Webster House and Colonels A hold a share of the top spot in t)le early going, with 2-0 logs. The Basketball Busters, and USUC II are the other two unbeatens in "'A" with 1-0 records. The " B" Division, with a record 20 teams vying for championship honors, have seven unbeaten squads thus far, with Slocwn A, SPCH, Slocum B, Priapus all 2-0, and Smokey's Bears, Space Raiders, and Sons of Softee all having one win a iece.

Dick Willet. set an unofficial Wilkes College IM record against the Reapers, totaling 56 points for the nights work, while teammate Ray Talbett hit for 23. For the Reapers Leo Gambacorta was high man with six points. Smokey's Bears won their first ball game of the year, overwhelming hapless Gore, 70-39. Four men hit Rodger Bearde: Realizin A Dream Wilkes Mentor Has Turned B-ball Program Around He expects perfection and yet he is patient enough to wait for it. He is an intense and hard driving individual, and yet he knows when to let up. And he is the best basketball coach Wilkes College has ever had. Hodger Bearde, in the fow· years that he has been at Wilkes, has turned the basketball program right around herr. A half decade ago, finishing among the top six in the Middle Atlantic Conference "Northern Division" would have been thought of as immense success. But now, only one thing matters, and that is the MAC title. A possession, which the Colonel cagers, in their almost 30 year existence, have never had. The resurgence of Colonel basketball has grown with a quartet of people who came to this campus four years ago. Along with Bearde, tri-captains Clat>ence··Ozgo, Greg Buzinski, and Steve Ference also matriculated here in that iio'w memorable year of 1971. Although, it wasn 't exactly love at first sigliC: Bearde saw a realizatwn in this trio: a realization that may take four ye~!"-~ ~o _upfold, but would pay off in the end. Made The Playoffs Notice For the second consecutive year, the Wilkes College Intra-mural Program will hold a 2-on-2 tournament. The competition is open to all Wilkes students, and interested persons are a sked to submit their names with Joe Skuarla in Weckesser Annex as soon as possible. 'O' Closing In (Continued From Page 8) . ing week, when he is expected to surpass the 1,000 point career scoring mark. " O" needed 46 points going into last night's Albright tilt, and so it is still questionable whether he will do it in front of the home fans. If he continues at his usual scoring pace, it could occur either at Susquehanna on February 5, or at home on February 8, against Moravian. In another week, the Middle Atlantic Conference title picture will be a lot clearer, and observers can speculate what contests the Colonels need to win. But Coach Rodger Bearde has an easier method of clearing up things; win them all. And step nwnber one in that climb comes Saturday. , Bliildil'lg around these three, the Colonels under the direction of the active Bearde, struggled near the .500 mark for the first two seasons, ml:iking· the MAC playoffs that second camaign, but quickly losing in the post-season tourney. Last year however, the first part of that realization came true, as Bearde's boys went on to register the best record in the history of the sport at the school. Many observers close to the basketball program at Wilkes were not at all sure Bearde would be returning to fulfill the rest of that realization. It was no secret that in Bearde, they had one of the finest young college mentors in the East, and it would only be a matter of time before bigger schools began offering Hodger bigger money, . and a more reassuring future . But they forg{)t one thing. He had spent three years bringing Ozgo, Buzinski, and Ference along, priming them for a championship, and there was no way that he was going to leave them now -)µs~,short of reality. double figures for Smokey's, paced by Ray Ostroski's 18, and Larry Gurnari's 17. Mark Jarolen and Bob Smolko were the other double digit talliers for Smokey's, with 12 and 11 respectively. . Dombroski had 14, and Vinnie Krill 12 for Gore. In a very defensively keyed ballgame, the Vet's Club edged the Roosevelt Roughriders 39-38 behind Tom Rovinski's 16 points. Bob Balfour's 16 tallies paced the Roughriders. In the final clash of the week, Priapus House turned it on in the second half and won going away over Ashley 68-45. Eiden's 21 points, Harned's 14, and Delensky's 10 sparked the Priapus offense.

They all have had their brief surge of glory, but the-team aspect BY RICH COLANDREA is wha,l has made them so successful.

SPORTS CAGERS ARE MOVING:: *** *** *** KASSAB RETURNS TO WILKES LINEUP 'Super Soph' Ready To Go After .L ayoff If you visit a fe w of the local hospitals this week, you'll discover something a bit unusual. Not very many members of the Colonel wrestling team are there. That's right. For the first 1ime since the 1974-75 season began, coach John Reese •is looking at an almost entirely healthy team, as the waning weeks of the regular season go quickly by. With Jim Weisenfluh hopefully back in the starting lineup for good, he is expected to be joined by teammate Mike Kassab either last night against Elizabethtown, or this coming Saturday vs. Lycoming. "Mike 's ankle injury was not as serious as his absence from the lineup would indicate, " stated Reese, " but l wanted it to heal completely before he wrestled on it. " I do not want him going into the tournaments at les& than 100 per cent." Battle At 118 With the influx of healthy grapplers, Heese must now begin choosing his tournament team, and that in itself is going to prove very interesting. At 118, both Roy Preefe, and !<'rank Stal,latella are involved in a heated battle for the starting spot. Stellatella is the stronger of the two, but Preefer has come on strong lately, and is uridefoated in dual competition this year. Everytime the pair have eliminat-· ed, the scoring difference has never been more than one or two points. "Roy really gives Frank a battle, when they tangle," agreed Reese. "But Roy seems to tighten up in actual competition. Needless to say, the Blue and Gold mentor made that staler.1ent before Preefer's latest surge of victories. At 142 and 150 pounds, there are four Colonels vying for starting spots. Mike Kassab obviously has 142 nailed down, unless Reese has to move him up out of necessity. But Casper Tortella, Davie Ellis, and Bruce Lear all have a chance at the remaining weight class. Ellis, who was unbeaten in dual competition two years ago as a freshman, missed all of last season, and the firs t semester of this season with a nose injury. This period of inactivity will be a definite disadvantage for him as- he struggles to break into the starting ten. Lear has seen limited action this season, and judging from what we've seen of Tortella, Casper probably will be the Colonel's 150-pounder in the tournaments, unless the injured Warren Stumpf manages to come back. But that is very doubtful. -DO MO WITCH- 'O' Closing In On 1,000 As Ballclub Catches Fire BY PAUL DOMOWITCH It has taken nearly a half of a season, but the Colonel cagers have finally gotten it all together. Exactly when the magic moment occurred is disputable. Many feel the win over Juniata set the wheels in motion, while others claim the spark became lit in the consolation game of the Pocono Cage Classic against American International, which the Wilkesmen won 78-76. . Coach Rodger Bearde has his own opinion. "I think we turned it around the second half of the Rider game," he said with a victory smile on his ,,, face." We were down b.y 17 in that in the league are extremely game, and fought our way back physical, and do not lose often at home. However, the Blue and Gold within five before losing. In my opinion, that was the turning point seem to have reached their full potential, and will pull out all stops for these kids." in their quest for the crown. WHEN is happened really doesn't Forward Jack Brabant has played matter though. The fact is that it the past two games with a foot DID happen. And while the Colonels injury, and his status for Saturday's seem to have put it together, a twist game is questionable.

Dean Capin was also interested in the viewpoints we expressed and is willing to help in whatever capacity he can to help- make Wilkes a better place.

OF GREETING CARDS 717-822-7151 486 HAZLE ST. WILKES-BARRE By Paul Domowitch I They Feed On Greed The story is the same all over. The names just vary with each individual case. The name of the story is the Corruption in College Athletics, and its setting is everywhere and anywhere that the importance of winning, and the avarice of greed override the real meaning of college sports. Last week, another chapter of the book on corruption was written out of Seton Hall University, when Glen Mosely, the star and the nation's leading Tebounder of the Seton Hall basketball team, along with his coach, assistant coach, and Seton Hall's athletic director were suspended for illegal recruitment violations. According to NCAA rulings, an athlete must have a C average in high school to participate in sports.his freshman year on the collegient level, or he is to sit out. Mosely did not have a C average and now a sophomore, has been an active participant in sports since his freshman year. • There was one twist to thi,s story however. The NCAA special investigators, who usually uncover this type of illegal activity, were not the arresters this time. Instead the school administrators themselves found out about it, and took immediate action to rectify the situation as best as was possible. · It's all becoming one hell of a horrible mess. Transcript tampering, recruiting violations, money being taken by the millions under the table, administrators looking the other way to head coach's underhanded activities. There are other little "tricks" also. Athletes carrying minimal credits so they can concentrate on sports, padded course arn:ngements, and many more. .·· And for what? What would make institutions sink so low as to break age old rules and regulations ? For what reason would they put their good reputations, and the reputations of the college's they represent on the line ? The answer: greed. Top grade athletes like Seton Hall's Mosely can plunge a college's athletic program into the so-called "big time, " and once there, the prestige and the financial bonuses of television exposure, bowl and tournament appearances, and national acclaim are limitless. But to get an athlete of Mosely's type (great on a basketball court, but couldn't think his way out of a paper bag), often involves unethical doing, and being unethical, you leave vou,rself wide open for attack. How important is the money factor? Look at Penn State and Pittsburgh, who next season are withdrawing from the prestigious Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC). Why? For the money, wt;u, else? As a member of the ECAC, they are forced to share a percentage of the money they receive from television appearances, and bowl games, and tournies, etc. As independents, they will get it all, and that's all that matters to money hungry "college machines" such as State and Pitt. Why are we mentioning this now you ask? Simply this. Next season, the Wilkes wrestling team themselves head up to the big tune, when they go Division I, and enter the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association. And the pressures that go with being "big time" are far reaching. Winning becomes an even more important item than it does now, and turning your back to the activities of one of your top athletes, who may be doing anything from stealing 'a comb in a five and dime to pushing drugs, can becomeanhabitualoccurence . Here 's hoping that the reputation and integrity of our own athletic program does not become decayed by the pressures of "winning at any cost," as we make the move up with the Oklahoma's and the N.C.

It was a tough night for the Colonel's, who had reeled off foirr stra1gl!.L wins going inio the Upsala contest, and were sky-high for this game, the one that could have assured them a spot in the plavoffs, and have !!ivP.n them a very realistic opportunity to win the regular season championship of the Middle Atlantic Conference " Northern Division. " With victory escaping their grasp several times during the game, the Wilkesmen were naturally disappointed following the heartbreaking defeat, but Bearde would not let his team sulk. In the New Jersey lockerroom, minutes after the Vikings had pulled it out against his team before a sparse home crowd, the head mentor told his troops, "we can't die right here." We played a hell of a game at times, and lost. And now we have to come right back." And come right back they must. With several non-MAC encounters WORKING FOR THE PIN- is the Colonel's 126-pounder Lon Balum, who is shown here in action agai!1s_t . ahead in the next few weeks, Elizabethtown College's Eric Mast. Balum received no nearfall points for this move, and lost to the defendmg including one against Madison F DU, national champ, 14-12 in the final minute of action. Colonels Looking For 9th In A Row Hofstra Coming To Town Saturday With eight straight victories under their belt, 'the Blue and Gold wrestlers will attempt ~o m:> i<e it win number nine Saturday night, when they play host to the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra University. The pieces seemingly are starting to fit into place for coach John Reese 's team, as post-season tournament time looms just around the corner. Going into last night's clash with York College, Wilkes had lost only three individual bouts in their last five dual encounters, which included crushing victories over Delaware Valley, Massachusetts University, - Oswego St., Elizabethtown, and Lycoming. 118-pound sophomore Roy Preefer, and 142-pound freshman Casper Tortella have been regular starters since the start of second semester action, and have responded to the call with a 14-0 log between them. As the tournaments approach however, Preefer will have to fend off strong first year man Frank Stellatella for the right to compe te in the post-season action, and Tortella will most likely move up a weight -to 150 for the MAC confab and the NCAA's, allowing the talented sophomore Mike Kassab to drop down a weight cl,iss. Saturday evening 's clash with the Dutchmen of ninth year coach Bob Getchell should provide a great deal of excitemen t, with several of the bouts expected to be close. Hosftra has two Middle Atlantic Conference University-Division (now defunct ) champions returning to the fold this campaign, a nd four runnerups as well. One of those returning champions is junior heavyweight Don Mayorga. Mayorga is considered one of the best unlimited wrestlers in the country this season, .~·-_._,;•_. _:.... ... .•..-:·: .•·:=.·········.->.❖.•.················. :::< .::.:.:.:_:_ :-:.:_:_:_._:_:_:_:_::.:: I and was . tentatively scheduled to wrestle in the East-West all star meet at Clarion St. College this past Monday . The Colonel's Al Scharer, despite being a returning second place finisher in last annum's Division Ill nationals will be a decided underdog in this bout, and a victory over Mayorga would be quite a feather in Al's cap. Another particularly fine matchup is in the offing at 167 pounds, where the Colonel 's Jim Weisenfluh will tangle with apother MAC champ, Jim McDuffie. Weisenfluh, who ,has not lost since being pinned in the Syracuse match, January 18, had his pin streak stopped at four last Satw·day, when he was forced to go the full eight minutes against his Lycoming foe. Confidence is a funny thing in sports. You can have it one minute, and lose it the next. And when Blue and Gold 126-pounder Lonny Balum blew a five point lead against Eric Mast in the E-town meet a week back, his confidence could have left him right there . But against Lycoming, Balum came right back with a pin against his opponent. On Saturday, Lon's foe will be Flying Dutchmen lightweight Nick Gallo, in a battle of " super sophs. " The Gallo-Balum matchup could turn out to be one of the best contests of the night. Both- were 14-3 in dual matches as freshmen a year ago, and Gallo was a runner-up in the National Junior Championships at Missoula, Montana this past summer. He is -being touted by the school's sports information office as a possible NCAA title contender. -Domowitch- Lewis And Ko wale k •·---··: --..,•••:❖:.:.:•••:.:••••.•=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=·=•.::..: : .· · -.- · --- ·•···•·.....,.&:.:••••.•.•.•.•.• 0:: , Spirit Of Swim Team Ref lected In Duo The Wilkes College swim team you, add to this the facts that some_ as there are day students and their took on a new look tµis year.

" Two years ago, we backed our way into the playoffs, waiting to see who would lose. Last year however ," he stated, with a gleam of a smile cracking his serious facial features, "we earned our way in, and we are going to do ·exactly that this year as well. " "We have as much talent as any team in our conference, and are capable of winning it all this year ." Once again in the Upsala contest, Frank Britt came off of the bench to do a superb job, as he grabbed four rebounds and six points in a reserve role. And, as it has in the past five games, the defense excelled. "With the exception of a few lapses; " Bearde said, " we played well defensively against them. We were especially successful in shutting off their fast break, and held our own off the boards, despite being a much smaller team." . .. " What hutt us," he explained, "was the poor shooting night we experienced. We hit on something like 21 of 74, and you,can 't win ball games at that kind of shooting clip. "Furthermore," he added, " a lot of shots were going in and out for us. It just wasn't our night." With a little over two minute~ remaining however, Wilkes had an opportunity to make it their night after all. With the score tied, Bearde decided to stall and work for the last shot. They kept the ball away · from the Vikings, until ·with only eight seconds remaining , the Colonels called time out. 11 I BY MARIANNE MONTAGUE - -----------who leads the country in offense, the Beardemen have a most crucial tilt with MAC leader Scranton on February 18, right here on the Colonel hardwoods. The Wilkes team earned themselves a spot in last season's conference playoffs with a win over their Northern neighbors, and can do the same thi!< year in front of what is expected to be one of the biggest crowds to ever watch a Colonel cage contest. No Last Shot Working against the tall Upsala zone, the Colonel mentor knew his team would have to get the ball inside for the final shot. The ; inbounds pass went to forward Jack Brabant, who probably had the room to drive himself, but the unselfish red-head tried to dish it off to Clarence Ozgo underneath and he DAVE ANN-MARIE (Continued on Page 7) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Furthermore, SG Advisor, Dean Ed Baltruchitis's prudence during this affair has been demonstrated in his silence until now. It is no blanket fact that h_e had his doubts all along. We will watch and see if there is a Billy Joel concert, and if so, whether he will be "forced" to sign the contract. This clandestine operation that main SG leaders have chosen to run is now beginning to show its worth or should we say expense; A while back, the SG president was pondering resignation and it is palpable that he didn't strain his mind. We would surely like to help him with his decision. Now at high tide we demand the resignations of President Feeney and Concert Chairman Misner as they have lost their ability to function.

'J '1e program will provide an mter-disciplmary look at many of the questions and problems involved 111 the study of peace and conflict. Discussions will cover areas ranging lrom the weaknesses and strengths of efforts to change dll'ection from a warhke world to a more peaceful one; ways of testing ideas about the causes of war; the conditwns of µe,,ce; ways of hmiting and resolvmg conflicts: the history of peace research and the peac <:' rnovcrnent; and the links between populat1on, energy, and foul shortages and internal or international conflict. According to• the program difectur, Dr. Jerome Laulicht, '.15· sociale professor of sociology at Pitt, the topics extend heyond the boundaries of any one two disciplines; both stuuent,s and faculty will come from many fields. The program will be taught by resident faculty members from Pitt aml several visiting faculty from universities and research centers. Visiting faculty wih lecture on their current work and on research being done by others in related fields and will participate in seminar discussi uns. Students will have the opportunity tu explore their ow11 µartin!lar inlerest1' individuall:J ancl or OPEN LEI I ER TO COLLEGE STUDENTS Here are " fow facts you may or may not be aware of: -The U.S. military budget is 60 times greater than the budge_t for overseas economic aid. During a 14 hour period, the Defense Department spends more than the entire annual budget of the United Nations food program. -Only about 40 per cent of Americans eligible for food stamps currently receive them, and President Ford has announced his intentions to cut the food stamp program budget by about one billion dollars or 25 per cent. -The ad budget of General Foods is almost three times bigger than the budget of the · Food Bureau of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. -The American meat-based diet deprives the world of 18 million tons of cereal protein, an amount almost equal to the world's protein deficiency. -Americans consume, on the average, about one hundred pounds of sugar each year. Some foods - sugar-coated cereals, for instance - contain up to 50 per cent sugar. -Diet contributes to half of all deaths in the United States. Soaring food prices, increasing world food shortages, and mounting evidence of the dangerous health effects of ·the overly processed and refined American diet indicate that, if left to its own devices, the Federal Government will not take the steps necessary to develop a responsible food policy. The for,d 'ndustry - the corporations that bring you Cool Whip and Twinkies - have sold Americans on a diet of sugar-laden, fat-rich "convenience" foods that are contributing to a national epidemic of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and obesity. While encouraging unhealthy eating habits through advertising and availability, these corporations are also contributing to high food prices. A Federal Trade Commission study estimated that consumers were overcharged $2 billion in 1972, because of the monopolistic structure of several segments of the food industry. As government and corporate decision-makers allow the food situation to deteriorate further, it becomes clear that individuals and organizations in communities and campuses across the nation will have to begin a massive education effort - an effort aimed at changing personal eating habits; improving food welfare programs; reforming corporations that promote the sale of billions of dollars worth of nutritionally empty, resource-squandering junk foods; investigating agri-business practices that are forcing small farmers off the land; and developing national policies which recognize the needs of hungry people at home and abroad. This job requires a national organizing effort. The non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest, in conjunction with dozens of other groups and individuals, is building a movement to take on this task, a movement that will blossom on FOOD DAY, a national day of action on the food crisis. FOOD DAY is set for April 17, 1975. We hope that college and university students will take part in FOOD DAY, using their campuses as organizing focal points for both campus- and community-oriented activities. As a first step in accomplishing this, we urge students and faculty to set up joint committees to investigate what can be done at your campus, such as creating a campus-community garden or food coop, initiating sweeping changes in university food-buying policies, getting nutritious food in vending machines, or planning massive teach-ins for April 17th. , Students at the Universities of Michigan and Wisconsin are already planning teach-ins for next spring. At Yale, a student-faculty committee has planned a six week lecture-discussion series on world food problems and has already organized a fast in which over 2,000 students participated. Teach-ins provide an excellent forum for educating and organizing people both on campus and; the community. The food problems which face the nation and the world demand immediate action. Initial FOOD DAY actions may not make headlines or quickly change Federal or corporate policies, but they will put decision-makers on notice that the American public is no longer willing to participtae in Ute wasteful use of food resources. The rise of the environmental movement and the end to direct American involvementinthe Vietnam War are directly traceable to campus activity. The students of America can once again make a commitment to actions that can result in long-overdue changes in the way in which the Federal government, corporate America, 'and individuals decide how and to whom food will be allocated . FOOD DAY national offices are open at 1785 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Room 206, Washington, D.C. 20036 (202-462-8510). If you are interested in organizing FOOD PAY teach-ins or other activities, contact the office for further information and organizing suggesti?~ in grm1p projects and seminars.

Production Slated For Feb. 21-23 Georges, who is from the Ivory Coast of Arica, hopes to pursue a career in banking when he r-eturns to his home. He received a BA in economics this January and is presently working on a degree in business administration. He visited 'the bank's Teller Training classroom, the officers' platform in the Main Ofjice Lobby, Installment Loans, the Mortgage Department, and the Commer~al and Audit Departments. Dean George Ralston arranged the tour with Joseph A. McKeown, VicePresident and Personnel Director of the bank. Georges, one of eight children, enrolled at Wilkes in 1971. He is on a four-year scholarship program sponsored by the African-American Institute. He explained that in his home of Abidjan, a student must pass a test before he can go to college. If he rates high he may be eligible for a scholarshio. Georges has only been back home once since his enrollment here. He is also interested in photography, and speuds his summers working with his brother. Georges enjoys life at Wilkes and has met a lot of "wonderful people.'

Then why is the Scranton contest being built up so big? Of course there is the fact that they are local rivals, but it goes well beyond i.hat. Scranton was unbeaten in the MAC at last count, and appears to be 'the team to beat when the playoffs roll along. Upsala will be no pushover either, but the locals have already faced · them up at East Orange, losing in double overtime, and as coach Bearde points out confidently, "on a neutral court, we could beat them."
