GEFFERT "The Student Union Board (SUB ) has come from nothing to something," remarked Dean Ed Baltruchitis during the SUB charter proposal discussion Tuesday evening at the Student Government Meeting. The eleven article proposal was presented to a large crowd in Weckesser Hall by IDC president Bob Howes and SUB treasurer Tom Marcy. ' · Guy Barbato To Manage WCLH Radio Discussion followed the first-draft proposal, bringing up noteworthy questions by Baltruchitis and student representatives such as ·should the SUB be involved in any programming of activities at Wilkes or be only a service organization to Wilkes students. Treasurer Marcy noted that SUB will provide a conference to allow area college students to take advantage of the coffee house circuit at the school. He stated, "Coffee houses will be low budget but a high quality of entertainment." President Stewart Feeney mentioned that SUB should be put on a one year probation period regarding the coffee houses, giving the organization an opportunity to aid the students and make a profit if possible. The financial report on the status of the coffee houses would be reviewed in one year by SG. It was announced that during the next SG meeting (Tuesday, Feb. 25) the charter will be reviewed and voted upon by SG membership. Winners of the freshmen class officer elections were announced: In a recent Student Publications Committee meeting, the appointment of Guy Barbato as the 1975-76 manager to WCLH, .the Wilkes College radio station was made. Guy, a sophomore Hahnemann candidate and vice-president of his class, began work at the station last (Continued On Page 2) year involving himself in the many aspects that go into the operation of a radio station.

Reaction Varies On Dis]Juted Concert Issue BY FRAN POLAKOWSKI AND PATRICE STONE Revelations continued during the week over the Beacon's questioning of Student Government's concert committee and Chairman Glenn Misner's written reply in last week 's issue. The Beacon has contacted various members of the administration and student body and has compiled the following remarks resulting from a sample of an overall consensus. President Michelini feels that Student Government has learned some-good lessons. " There has been some poor bookkeeping and accounting, but the whole idea of giving organizations responsibility is to let them learn. " " If I felt as though anybody were · Some of the comments made by stealing money, I'd be concerned. I students to Beacon reporters. were : don't think it's gone that far .

" I thought the article was a bit biased, that a lot of accusations were made with no proof," answered a female transfer . " I thought the article was good, but when you read the letter Glenn Misner wrote I don't know who or what to believe. It's confusing, " commented a senior. " I didn't know how thorough the article was.

It is a place where a student can go to study or do research in a quiet atmosphere conducive to do those things. It is not a place to gather and exchange gossip. Unfortunately, the Eugene Sheddon Farley library is not conducive to study. It seems as if too many people go there to do nothing more than meet friends and talk. This situation cannot be tolerated: If students wish to talk, they can visit the Commons, a dorm, or any of the lounges around campus. They should not go to the library. · The noise in the library has also risen lately because of an increase in group study. When one or two students get together to study, the noise is usually low and bothers no one. A group of three people can also be acceptable, but when groups of six or seven meet, the noise gets too loud. Those who want to study as a group can meet in the Student Union Building or can use one of the quiet lounges around campus. They need not sit among the other students in the library and disturb i:hem. If the library at Wilkes is to remain just that - a library, it must be a place where students can go and quietly study, not be harassed by the casual conversations of others. SG (From Page 1) Those newly elected include, Dion Spencer, president; John Price, vice-president ; Merle Zipkin, secretary; and Ir!

DeanCapin Capin Impressed · SG Meeting Time / We would like to suggest that Student Government consider scheduling its meetings for Sunday nights rather than the present Tuesday night schedule. This would promote better coverage of Student Government meetings by · the BEACON, since personnel would be more readily available to cover the meetings. It would also result in better coverage in terms of time. The fact is that the BEACON is being readied for the printer at the very time Student Government is meeting. To publish reports on Student Government meetings the same week they are held results in printing delays, which are not appreciated by the printers. Changing Student Government meetings to Sunday would also be a service to the general student body that the body is supposed to represent. S.G. mee~ings are open to students who wish to attend and air their thoughts. Many students have classes on Tuesday night and so cannot attend. There are no classes scheduled on Sundays, so there would be no trouble to students. We urge Student Government to change the meeting time to Sunday, for the benefit of the students.

The lobby group is planning to send each SG president in the state material and lobbying instructions, to participate in a Harrisburg convention, and to launch a campaign telephone follow-up. SG President Feeney also requested that Advisor Dean Baltruchitis investigate last semester's grade breakdowns and the breakdown of financial aid given to athletes. Feeney also inquired if Baltruchitis could discover if the financial aid office notifies students if they qualify for aid, if the requirements for assistance can be sent out to each student and if the financial aid office can arrange a seminar during the school's activity period to accomwodate interested students. In reply, Baltruchitis suggested that he would attempt to satisfy the requests and ask Financial Aid Director Richard Raspen to attend the next SG meeting. During last week's SG meeting discussion reverted back to the concert. A motion was made to rescind the vote of confidence given to Glenn Misner. Last week Dean Baltruchitis sent an apology to Editor Andy Petyak and Beacon Advisor Tom Moran in regards to a statement he had made concerning ''freezing" Beacon funds.

The selections on this albwn show that the band has not given up its early hard rock roots. They avoid most of Ian Hunter's Dylan styling and stick to hard rock and roll. Except for a few spots of Hunter's psychologically oriented ballads, this albwn really moves a listener. It's loud, quickly building to a blur of noise. It seems like the band chose this type of music to release the frustrations that have sometimes • plagued them. Much of the loudness is due to the now missing Ariel Bender, who, although he wasn't as classy as his replacement, Ralph, seems a proponent of the overkill school of sell. His guitar playing throughout the record is heavy-handed, sometimes lacking much sensitivity. But he moves and challenges the rest of the band, giving pure joy to the Mott listener.

The Wilkes team went into the contest hoping to better their 1-1 log in league play following last week's annihilating victory over Misericordia. But they were outplayed in the final minutes, and went down to their second defeat. A hard pressing defense forced several turnovers and hampered the efforts of Wilkes to mount an early offensive drive. But the Wilkeswomen charged back to within four poinf at the half. Dotty Martin played an outstandir,g game, spearheading the team's offensive power with 20 points. Following her were Diane Jones who canned 11 and Anita Meehan 10. Both teams stressed offense in a fast moving second half, playing run and shoot ball. The scoring span stayed close with Marywood on top by two to four points during much of the second half. But with minutes to go, the Colonelette drive stalled as Marywood controlled the boards and deprived Wilkes of the second shot. On the other end, the opposition continued their attack finding holes in the Colonelettes defense and pulling away to a 59-66 win. The Wilkeswomen dropped a 79-59 decision to Kutztown Friday afternoon in the victor's gym. Despite the absence of several members of the Wilkes squad, freshmen Anita Meehan and Karen Olney lead the team in a valiant fight against their Kutztown rivals. Olney had a stellar performance, scoring ~4 points and grabbing 18 rebounds, while Anita came through with 18 points. Senior co-captain Ann Tracy also played a fine game, adding to the team's total. Coaching Poor In MAC This weekend's MAC wrestling tourney marks the end of a 19 year "friendship" between the conference and coach John Reese's team. But coach Reese hasn't been much of a friend. Grabbing 14 titles in those 19 years was a very selfish thing to do. Hah, Hah. Several of the league's coaches have been trying to oust the Colonels out of competition the past few years, and you can bet there will be a sigh of relief after Saturday night finals. Two years ago, it appeared the calibre of MAC wrestling was finally fluctuating to an almost even leve~ with Wilkes, when the Blue and Gold managed to capture only three individual titles and won the team title by a scant 12 points. But Wilkes returned a year later and ravaged their opponents, winning eight titles and outscoring their nearest opponent by 120 points. · What's the problem? Is it thafWilkes is that good? Yes, but it's more than that. There have been some excellent grapplers in the conference over the past few years, and with proper coaching, they could have developed into first-rate competitors. But they didn't have proper coaching. Instead, they have the Obers, and the Davies, and all these kids learn are bad habits. .. John Reese can take a young, undeveloped wrestler and bring him up to be a champion, if he has the talent within, and the want to win. Other MAC coaches will take a good wrestler, and four years later, that is all he will be ... a good wrestler. Take the case of E-town!s Eric Mast, the 1974 NCAA Division III national champ at 118 pounds. Only a sophomore this year, Mast has the potential to become one of the finest lightweights the East has ever had. But he never will. In fact, he will never get any better than he is now. Why? Because the proper coaching and handling is lacking. It's really a shame when you think of it. There is so much ability there, and more than half of it will never be utilized. If John Reese ever got his hands on a youngster like Mast, the sky would be the limit by the time he was a senior. Eastern titles, University-Division titles, Olympics, who knows? Everyone knows, and that is bad. . MAC (From Page t) Albright could have their first conference champ in quite some time, in 177 pounder Jim Glanfield, a freshman with an unblemished record. Glanfield was a Connecticut state champ in 1974, but previous glory will not impress the likes of Wilkes' Dave Gregrow, Doug Cope of Delaware Valley, Dan Hartranft of Lycoming, and George Stauffer of E-town. This is probably the tourney's most wide open weight class, with anyone of the aforementioned athletes capable of carrying home the crown. Lebanon Valley's Steve Sanko is back to defend his 1974 crown at 190 pounds, and will have his hands full with John Hopkins' Gary Murza. Murza was a third place finisher at heavyweight last campaign, and has been nearly unstoppable since dropping down a class. In fact, Murza pounded Sanko 7-1 in the finals of the Lebanon Valley Invitational this past December. Ted King of Del Val and either Gary Johnson or Randy Parsons WCLH, the campus radio station, will be on hand once again to broadcast of Lycoming are also tough grapplers, but the fight here is between Murza both the Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling tournament this weekend in and Sanko.

Trying to top their 1974 performance at Delaware Valley, where the Reesemen made a mockery of the league tourney, crowning eight of ten individual champions (the other two _received a second and a third), .and taking the team title with 200 points, will be very hard to duplicate in '75. But there is little doubt that the Reesemen will exit with their seventh consecutive title, and fourteenth in the last nineteen years, when Saturday evening rolls around. There will however, be many fine matches in the two day affair, at almost every weight class, and Saturday evening's finals should be quite exciting. Mast The Best At 118 L?SING THE HARD WAY-Two of the Colonel basketball standouts are shown here in action Tuesday night agamst tough Scranton University. Clarence Ozgo (left) is shown positioning himself for a charge call on the Royals' Jim DeRichie, while in the right photo, Blue and Gold Jack Brabant lets one of his patented jumpers fly beyond the outstretched hands of Scranton's Jack Maher. Playing At Elizabethtown Cagers Must Win TolUght It's g;;t to be a frustrating thing for coach Rodger Bearde. He has a team that is capable of beating anyone. He has a team that could go farther than anyone would ever imagine a Wilkes College basketball team could go. But on this Thursday in March, two days after losing one of the most heart-breaking contests of their lives, the Blue and Gold sit on the threshold of uncertainty. The uncertainty arises because, with one Middle Atlantic Conference encounter remaining in the 1974-75 regular season, the Blue and Gold are still in doubt as to whether their future has a MAC playoff berth in store for them. the king for a day. However, it was- chance at Upsala and Scranton in They could have clinched a spot Tuesday night, before one of the largest crowds to ever witness a Colonel cage game, but Scranton University eliminated that brief glimmer of light, and went on to squeeze by Wilkes 74-72 in double overtime. It was a game that will not soon be forgotten; by us or by anyone of th e almost three thousand fans · that packed the "Palestra" that memorable evening. Playing as if Scranton were a mere pick-up team, Wilkes gathered in the momentum and the points, and spurted into · the lockerroom at halftime with a nine point advantage. And for 15 minutes of the second half, that lead held up. But then, our friend, Mr. "Mo Mentum" swung the . other way, and the Royals caught fire and took over the lead. With less than 20 seconds remaining, it appeared the only thing that could save the· Colonels was Superman. And Sup~rman came in the form of a 6-4 red-headed forward named Jack Brabant, who connected on a 16 foot jumper with eight ticks left on the clock, to tie the score, and give the Blue and Gold another life. With pivotman Greg Buzinski riding the bench after fouling out, the Colonels needed another "hero" t'l tie it in the first overtime, when guard Steve Ference drove the lane, and made what appeared to be one of the biggest clutch shots of his career. But Rodger Bearde ran out of Superman in overtime number two, although Buzinski's back up, Frank Britt came within a whisker of being not to be that night for the Blue and Gold. So a team that has been working for this season for so long, and a coach who wants a conference title so bad that he can taste it, may be beaten before they even start. They travel to tiny Elizabethtown College this evening, to face the Blue Jays, in a contest that will spell the fate of Colonel basketball in 1975. If they win, they are in, and will get another Reading next week; two teams they know they can beat next time around if they are given the chance. Lose however, and next weekend will be a lonely occasion for ·a basketball team and a determined coach, who will be able to only think of what could have been. A few short hours from now, the story will have been told. -DO MOWITCH- ---------------------------- Mermen's Win SkeinBroken By Kutztovvn , BY MARIANNE MONTAGUE The Colonel swim team suffered an 81-32 loss to the Kutztown Golden Bears on Saturday at Kutztown State College.

Mast has been wrestling at 126 the entire season however, and word is, he may have trouble making weight. · If he cannot get down, Blue and Gold sophomore Roy Preefer, and Lycoming's Bill Beasley will be in a heated battle for the crown. If Mast makes it down, the pair will be in a heated battle for second. Others worth mentioning are Steve Lazzaro of John Hopkins, 1974 runnerup, and Lebanon Valley's George Kline, who beat Lazzaro in a tourney earlier this season. . Defending 126-pound champion Lon Balum is back to defend his title, but he will not be the favorite. Gettysburg, which is participating in the MAC college-division confab for the first time has a highly touted freshman at this weight class in Craig Helmuth. Helmuth was a Pennsylvania state champ last season at Chambersburg High School, and earlierthis year, pinned E-town's Mast in a dual meet. Bal um has not had a good year, but is out to prove he has not lost it in the tourney's, and if and when these two meet, the spectators at the Long Center could very possibly be viewing the MAC's best matchup. Elizabethtown's Bruce Sennsinig placed third last year, losing to Balum in the final second of the semi-final match, and is a talented athlete. He won't win it, but could take second, if he gets a few breaks. Scott Schell of Moravian (2nd in '73, and 4th in '74) and Frank Loio of Swarthmore (2nd in '74) are potential placewinners, but that's it. 'Chak' The Class At 134 The Colonel's John Chakmakas is the class of the MAC 134 pounders, and will have no trouble taking home his second consecutive conference title. Lycoming's Gary Felthousen ( 3rd in '73) is probably the best of the second best here, but will receive stern tests for the runnerup spot from E-town's Gary Heim, Moravian's John Skutches, and Dave Hauser of Lycoming. Look for Ursinus' George Canning to surprise. Like Chakmakas, Wilkes "super soph" Mike Kassab is almost a shoo-in at 142. Possible, but improbable challengers are Lycoming's Harold Shaw, who was pinned by Casper Tortella of Wilkes in a dual match, John Hopkins' Clark Kingery, and Delaware Valley's Rick Homan. The 150 pound MAC title has probably been decided already if Blue and Gold middleweights Tortella and Greg MacLean eliminated yet. They are only frosh, but both are two of the best in their class. There will however be several stiff challenges at 150 from·the likes of Swarthmore's Bill Rawbing, . who was injured last season, Lloyd Reiter of Lycoming, and Susquehanna's Bill Finch. Moravian's Tony Villani (second in '74) is back also and could make it tough. · 158 Is A Two-Way Battle 158 appears to be a two way battle between the Colonel's Gene Ashley, and Gettysburg's Tim Gesner, a MAC University-Division titlist a year ago. However, Hofstra's Jim McDuffie was a U-D champ also, and Jim Weisenfluh made quick work of him in a dual meet a few wee).{s back, so Ashley would have to be regarded a very heavy favorite. Craig Savitsky of Lycoming ( 3rd a year ago only lost to Gino by four when they met earlier this year, and should challenge for second). Other possible placewinners include Larry Priester of Lebanon Valley, Cabot Christianson of Swarthmore, Dale Moyer of Delaware Valley, and John Liken of Susquehanna. 1 A 1974 champion, and the tourney's outstanding grappler a season ago Jim Weisenfluh, is back to defend his 167 title. Weisenf!•th's "pin or be pinned" style of wrestling makes every match appear uncertain, but when he is on, there are few if any that can beat him. This week, there are none. Three names who would like to unseat him are Lycoming's Terry Schultz (3rd a ye_a r ago at 150), Gettysburg's Jeff Moretzohn, and E-town's Ricardo Bailey. · (Continued on Page 7) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Basketball Busters and USUC II both won last week in Intramural cage contests, to stay neck and neck as the regular season dwindles to a close, and the playoffs draw nearer. Neil and Jerry Bavitz combined for 36 points to lead the USUC quintet to their fourth victory of the year, a 103-53 trouncing of th e Bearcats. Five players in· an ripped th e cords for double digits, wi th Len Malshefski, 16; Donny McDermott, 14; and Mike Superczinski, 12, joining the Bavitz' as leading scorers. For the Bearcats, Kevin Shaughnessy was high with 18. The Busters remained the lone undefeated team in the "A" Division pulling out a close five point victory over a stubborn Colonel A squad, 44-39. It took some last minute heroics by Buster's star Billy Winter to ice the victory in the low scoring contest. Winter was high man for the victors with 20 points, while teammate Craig Austin was the only other Buster in double figures with 12 . For Colonel House, Mike Vassil l ·' • - L ' ; Bavitz Bros. Hit For36 ln Victory ·' - NO TOMORROW There were twelve minutes left, and Wilkes was down by nine points in their do-or-die game with Elizabethtown. Rodger Bearde called time out. I thought to myself, this is it. This is where Bearde hits them with the "no tomorrow" speech, and they come out with fire in their eyes. The fire was there, all right. Clarence, Greg, Steve-all of them. They knew as did coach Bearde that a loss here would put an end to that "championship season" before it even had a chance to materialize. Four years of waiting, four years of building all were on the line right here. As the clock started, Wilkes hit a quick bucket, and the handful of Colonel fans on hand, including myself, smelled the big comeback. Bearde had his team pressing and double-teaming all over the court, but E-town handled it well. Time and time again they broke it, and found a man wide open underneath to squelch the Blue and Gold chances. Nine minutes remained, and Bearde again called time out with his team down by nine and Ozgo at the line to shoot two. Again we waited for the comeback. But again, E-town countered a Wilkes bucket with one of their own. Then Kenny Hughes stole a pass and headed upcourt. But a Blue Jay defender stole it right back, and the momentum stayed in the hands of the hometown club. But with five minutes left, Buzinski hit on a jumper, to cut the lead to five, and Clarence Ozgo stole the ball seconds later and headed upcourt once more, with Trainor on his left, and Ference on his right, giving Wilkes a three on one advantage, and an almost certain basket. Clarence faked a pass and tried to drive himself, but ran into the lone Blue Jay defender. The · referee's whistle blew, and the fcVIs sat in a deadened silence, waiting for the crucial call. Traveling-Wilkes. That call may have been the final nail on the Wilkes coffin, but hope was still not lost in the minds of the Colonels and in the minds of the fans. Two minutes remained, now, and Wilkes had caught fire behind the outside shotting of guard Frank Trainor and Buzinski. Greg went up for a shot, missed, but was fouled . Time out Colonels. Life came to the Wilkes bench. If Greg could cash in on these two free throws, we would have been down by a mere point, and victory would become a distinct possibility for the first time since the contest had begun. He sighted the first one up ... and missed. Greg's second shot also missed the mark, and E-town had possession of the ball and the game. For a few minutes we sat there motionless, as Bearde and his dejected team trudged into the lockerroom with their heads to the floor. It was over before it even started. The hopes, the dreams; they had all been stifled on this dreary wintery night in Elizabethtown, Pa. The disappointment of the team was all too evident. And for the handful of Colonel fans, who had come to see a beginning, there were only remnants of a sad end. a nd Greg Wild had 17 a nd 15 respectively.

And Clarence Ozgo, who canned 28 points against highly touted Madison FDU, right here in the Wilkes gym, in a game that saw the Colonels surpass the one hundred mark for the only time this season. Another staf of that FDU contest was the incomparable guard, Steve Ference. It wasn't the best of years for the former St. Mary's High School star, but his ballhandling wizadry and nine assists in that one game was reminiscent of the Ference of old. . - ::::=:::::·: :.:: ::;: [:•·.\•.j·• • j::: :::: .... :~( :::: [:\.l.\_j: The Blue and Gold outpointed their nearest competitor Elizabethtown by more than 93 points up at the John Long Center on the Scranton University campus, and wreaked havoc on the rest of the conference as well, capturing 32 of the 36 bouts in the two day confab.

Losing in double overtime, before almost three thousand fans, the Colonels came within a whisker of fulfilling a part of that "dream" they had of an MAC championship. Blowing a ten point lead, Wilkes refused to quit, utilizing individual heroics until finally, the heroics ran out. That game very possible took all of the bite out of the Blue and, Gold, and the defeat at the hands of Elizabethtown-the loss that put an ax to their heads, was probably determined two day.s before in that heart-breaking defeat. :::: :··~ ,.I.:..:•l:. __ So now it really is over, and dwelling on it and harping on what could have been will not make it any better.

It was ·the last meet for seniors Kowalek, Bernie Ford, Ann Marie Lewis and Lynn Duncan of the Colonel squad. A delegation of swimmers will travel to Johns Hopkins in Maryland for the MAC swimming competition. They will leave today. For Lon Balum, this season has been a nightmare. There have been times when he would have liked to see it all come to an abrupt end, and his less than impressive 1974-75 statistics forgotten. But Balum came to the MAC tournament with something to prove, and prove it he did. He went up against a favored Craig Helmuth of Gettysburg in the finals , and wrestled one of the b~st bouts of his young career. Hanging on to a slim 4-3 lead in the waning minute of the final period, critical fans again expected the Muncy grappler to- blow the lead as he had done to Eric Mast earlier this year. But Balum surprised them all. That Saturday afternoo:i at the semi's, the few hundred fans on hand couldn't believe their eyes out on Mat number one, as John Chakmakas was losing 6-4 with only 30 seconds remaining in the bout. But Chak utilized the talent that has made him one of the Wilkes' greatest and had his opponent on his back 15 seconds later. 158 pounder Gene Ashley's mind was wandering quite a bit during the tourney with his wife expecting their first child at any moment, but _Gino managed to re-capture his concentration for the finals, and won his second straight title.

Baltruchitus charged the executive council with the task last semester. Newly elected Circle K President Bill Goldsworthy informed the body that the club "saw the guidelines two weeks ago.''

Costs have risen. CC estimated that with the help of the junior class it would have sufficient funds to cover the party but that its funds would be nearly depleted. Plans - were formulated to approach the freshmen class to determine if it_would be willing to help. IDC representative Al Berger was asked by the council to indicate IDC's feelings. Berger, who attended the meeting to give an IDC report to CC indicated that IDC couldn't provide financial backing at this time. IDC has in the past sponsored affairs with CC. Currently IDC is unsure about some transfers from their Parrish account. They may not have been transferred. If so the treasurei·'s balance wouldn't be advisable to use. They wanted to investigate the situation first. If this was not done IDC might have extended the money and when the questioned transfers occurred IDC's financial situation would be worsened. CC President" Mike Stambaugh agreed with IDC's concensus and felt it was better for IDC to be cautious and refrain from _- committing itself now. Also the possibility of providing student campus parking was discussed. A parking lot accommodating 50 cars is currently being constructed near the Stark Learning Center. The tentative completion date is next fall. The original completion date had l.Jeen set for this fall. The date was then changed to the beginning of this semester. The architect for the project is donating his services. College officials are reluctant to rush him for this reason . In addition, railroad ties used for the borders of the lot are in short supply. They are ol.Jtained free of charge when local railroad tracks are dismantled. Faculty, staff and administration have priority to use the lot. Leftover spaces will be allotted to students. One CC representative noted that faculty currently have some trouble with parking.

IDC Allots $200 The Inter-dormitory Council voted to allot $200 to help Commuter Council sponsor a St. Patrick's Day party on Sw1day evening March 16 at Gus Genetti's. Due to a tie, IDC President Bob Howes voted in favor of granting the money. The amount alloted was one half the amount requested by CC. A few days earlier IDC was unable tu commit itself. An expenditure was not listed on a ledger received from Parrish. Once the problem was resolved and IDC was certain of its financial status IDC was willing to co-sponsor the party. The party features a buffet, free beer and cash bar. About 300 may attend. The current cost estimate is $-1~5 per ticket. ( Co11tin11ed on Page 4) �Page 2 March 6, 1975 THE BEACON Wilkes Actillism _The· Readers' Voice If you were to ask the man on the street what college students are like, the answer would probably be a stereotyped image left over from the 1950's and 60's. Thev would see college students as either radical demonstrators, protesting everything " American. " or as apathetic creatures leading lives of beer-drinking and partyattending. The first image is at this time practically dead. The second one do~s. however, accurately describe a number of students . What many people do not realize is that a new breed of college students is gaining adherents every year. These students study, enjoy a good social lite and also find time to become active in the betterment of the community and the enrichment of the quality of life .' Wilkes College is in ~he forefront when it comes to these students. The Human Services Committee's work, Theta Delta Rho's "Golden Agers " program, the students working on the Wilkes German Exchange Program, and the Wilkes Community Effort's work are just a few examples of the ways in which Wilkes students are active in bettering life. These students and the Wilkes personnel working with them all deserve prais~and thanks . They are doing an exceflent job and receiving little or, more usually, no pay for their .efforts. It is time the community begins to recognizP their work. News Coverage Of SG Spurs A Chang_ e To the Editor, .

Class Conduct Notices One of . the most disturbing things encountered at Wilkes College is the attitude of manv students towards conduct in class . They attend class, but don't really pay attention to what is going on . They make it ditficult tor others to learn . They are usually found sitting toward the rear of the room talking or humming . Others use such tactics as cracking gum, chomping on hard candy, and constantly moving about in the seat. Such behavior ·is not only distracting to the students around the person, but o the prof as well. What is much more im·portant, is the .-act that such action shows disrespect to the teacher and othe · students . It is a violation of their right to learn and a sign that 'hey have no interest in the course . Those who h.1 bitually act in such a manner in class should cqnsider dropping the course or at least staying away from class so the others can learn .

With the assignment of c?bins and the bad news that ice skating and tobogganning were not available at the resort, the still optimistic group shuffled off to their "homes away from home." That evening's activities began with a good old-fashioned hayride given a modern-day touch. Although snow was lacking, hay was not. It's presence was felt for sometime after by everyone on the wagon. The festivities did not end there, but continued in several cabins. Laughter, music, song and dance topped the evening and carried ·1oc .

But good news or not, there is going to be a tremendous amount of fine wrestling to watch tomorrow and Saturday on the John Carroll University campus. After some pretty fair prognasticating on the MAC's two weeks ago, we're ready to try our luck on the national wrestling scene. The following is our personal forecast of the results of each individual weight class come Saturday night. · Wilkes co-ed Cindy Glawe was the pride of the swim team last ,n:ekend when she copped a third place medal in Women's Diving Competition at the first Women's Middle Atlantic Conference Swimming and Diving Championships. The event was held - in conjunction with the Men"s MAC championships at Johns Hopkins University i•.1 Baltimore, Maryland. Cindy, a freshman nursing major is "really happy" about doing so well in the competition. IL was the first time this year she <.Juve in a strictly women's event. "Diving with male divers all year inspired me to improve the quality of my diving and increase the caliber of the dives I was capable of executing." Coach Rick Marchant has nothing but praise for his rookie diver. "Cindy had no idea what to expect down there because it was the first MAC swimming event ever held for women. There was a lot of pressure on her, instead of doing the usual eleven dives she had to do six and through hard work and determination she was successful." The coach goes on "All thf' competition was excellent. Cindy, who is only a freshman, demonstrated a lot of poise. Both first, and second place winners are seniors at WINS MEDAL-Swim team coach Rick Marchant presents diver Cindy their schools. I received a lot of Glawe with her third place medal. Cindy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. compliments on Cindy's talent from John Glawe of Indian Lake. An outstanding diver in high school, Cindy was other coaches.

It was announced late last week that senior fullback Fred Lohman, and lmebacker classmate Steve Leskiew would be the co-captains for coach Rollie Schmidt's 1975 Colonel football squad. There are no two more deserving athletes than Fred and "Winky," and their leadership ability as well as their athletic ability will be a tremendous asset to the team next season. With 1a multitude of starters returning, Wilkes is already being tabbed as one of the strongest Division III football powers in the nation for 1975.

Whare lost to Mast in last year's quarterfinals, 9-6. This weight class has a lot of potential champions however, and Wilkes' Roy Preefer, Western Maryland's Jed Marchio, Binghamton's Mike Grecco, Mt. Union's Jim Acquilo, and John Carroll lightweight Jack Mulhall all have a good shot at it. Mulhall captured a second in the tough East Stroudsburg Open earlier in the season. Montclair State's Nabil Guketluv will also be returning to defend his 126-pound title, and is the favorite once again. This weight class like the preceding one however, has several top flight grapplers. Al Evangelista of Augustana College, who lost to Guketluv in the '74 finals, is back, as is third place finisher Lonny Balum. St. Cloud St., which is dropping down to Division III for the initial time, has a good one in Mike Dohlheimer, who placed sixth in the Division II affair a year ago.

Darkhorse ai this weight class is Brockport's Abe Lang, who could surprise. · 142 pounds is not as abundant with talent, but the few they have there are good ones. Wilkesman Mike Kassab and John Carroll's Tim Pazyniak would have to be regarded as the co-favorites, since 1974 runnerup John Martellucci will probably move up to 150. Millersville's Stan Smith (fourth in the State College tourney ), and Ohio Northern's Tom Shelliday are extremely talented and could capture it all, while Binghamton's Walt Wilce, and Montclair's Walt Welter will be ready to move up if there are a few upsets. . · The afore mentioned Johr Martellucci will be the man to beat at 150, but Millersville's Rich Zinck has all the cap2.Jilitites of a champion. Charles Becks of John Carroll was third seed here a year ago, t- .it has been inactive much of this season, and will be at a disadvantage. Other hr 1efuls include Wilkes' Greg MacLean, and Humbolt's Charlie Freeman.

However, Tim Gesner of Gettysburg gave him trouble in the MA C's, and should do it here as well. Alan Hess of John Carroll, Clayton Barnard of Ashland, and Montclair's Rob Woods are also hopeful of winning the middleweight diadem. . The 167-pound weight class is perhaps the toughest in the tournament, and Ripon's Mike Van Boxel will be hard pressed to make it two in a row.

However, Jim " the King " Weisenfluh, and Trenton State's Bill Hays are not at an ounce of . disadvantage talent wise. Mt.

Ashland's Ed Hissa is a sleeper, who cottld move. 177, like 142 is thin in talent, but the one's they have are some of the best. Millersville's Eric Guyll, a 190 pounder, has dropped down to this weight for tou,rney time, and impressed everyone a few week's ago, losing to Slippery Rock's Brian ShufMal, 8-7 in the finals of the State College tournament. He could go all the way this weekend. Challenging him will be Ashland: s Skip Fair, Montclair's Blair Buchol, Olivet's Ron Bates, and Wilkes' Dave Gn:grow. The Ear Man Rick "Earing" Molbury of Potsdam, who won it last year is the pick to do it again at i90. But Ashland's Skip Fair, and Dan Schmitt of Coe will have something to say about that. Glenn Carson of Trenton State, third seed a year ago, Montclair's John Reid and Ithaca's Paul Iacovelli should place. 'The top six placewinners of a year ago are back once again at heavyweight, and it will be a real chicken fight. The favorite is returning champ Joe Bertolone of John Carroll, but Al Scharer and Brockport's Mackey Tyndall have the talent to upset him from his prestigeous throne (although neither the strength nor the weight) . The U.S. Coast Guard's Jim Murray, Asliland's Greg Lowe, Millersville's Dave Schley (who just may drop to 190), Binghamton's Dean Schlosberg, and Oswego's Eric Houdfleich all could make it to the finals, but there is still Bertolone waiting for them.

The decision of the judges was announced that night. Prior to the competition, the finalists were treated to a two-day tour of New York City. · Bohn was among those who visited the White House to present the "Boy Scout Report to the Nation." He noted that he was "very aware of the prestige and awe of the office" as he stood in the President's Oval Office. "One thing you notice," Bohn said, "is that the President is a man like everyone else , but with a lot more responsibility." He noted that many people t hink of governmental leaders as "super beings" and 'not as men capable of making mistakes. Bohn lives in Mountaintop and has been active in the local Explorer Post sponsored by the Health and Hospital Pla nn ing Co uncil of Northeastern Pennsylvania. He was elected president of the club after it started last year. In September he entered and won the local public speaking contest using the official theme.

A popularity contest it is not. Many on this year's staff will admit that the compensation of free room and board is invariably outweighed by the number of headaches . We believe that this year's staff, for the most part, is composed of responsible , level-headed individuals , many of who will be graduatin~ thi s May . · And we now do believe that there are hardly a handful of names out of the current applicants worth mentioning -to effectively handle the job . Eliminate all the freshmen and Hahnemann applicants, and the ones who are going through the motions and what is left is frightening . Directors Jansky and Foderaro will undoubtedly have their work cut out and may need the help of a rabbit's foot . The Sporting Outcome Coach Responds To ·Cartoon I would like to thank Paul · Domowitch for his " cartoon " commentary published in the March sixth edition of the BEACON concerning the women's basketball team. Your view regarding "discipline" of athletic teams obviously . coincides with -that of many people from within the realm of sports as well as many individuals from without-such as yourself. ' As the coach of the women's basketball team I dq not feel it necessary to justify my lillncHing of team discipline to you -or to other "arm chair quarterbacks." However, I would like to use this opportunity to express my ideas and feelings about sport. Admittedly, to be successful- (in this context I am not necessarily referring to a win-loss record!) in sport as. in other life endeavors one must possess discipline. However, I feel that discipline under these circumstances must be self discipline. Unfortunately, on occasion, extrinsi~ restrictions must be imposed; however, I feel that the bulk of responsibility for discipline rests with each individual. Discipline of the self should of course be encouraged and nurtured - but it must come from within. We are dealing with adult human beings not objects to be manipulated as pawns in a game of chess. .., . ... Andy Petyak Editor in Ch ief . . . .. MarianneMontague·arid Fran Polakowski co.

Nevertheless, individuals from "without" put the pieces together and interpret things in terms of their own unique life experiences. Obviously enough, we are all guilty of this, particularly when we are unable to or unwilling to communicate with these individuals concerned and about whom we are passing judgement. Thus, we, in essence, obliterate the true significance of the situation because what we have connoted, is not what actually "is." · As sincere and genuinely concerned human beings, I feel it is our responsibility to communicate - to find out, in fact, what is happening, to share views, and to then make an honest judgement, if judgements are what we are about. But, not until this has occurred do I feel one should cast aspersions. If I have somehow misconstrued the meaning or intent of your comments or if you have insightful observations which you feel you would like to express which may enhance the growth of our women's basketball program, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Beacon~; I believe that people need freedom to grow. They need the opportunity to make decisions and to assume an active role in shaping their own lives. I feel this is likewise true in athletics. If we, as coaches or teachers, are unwilling to permit this to occur either on the athletic field or in the classroom, for fear of losing control or for other irrelevant reason(s) : then I feel we must honestly reassess the goals of education and how they are to be realized. Furthermore, I do not feel athletes should be "publicly admonished," harshly criticized or in any manner embarrassed. Their wearing tunics, kilts, or other athletic clothing does not metamorphose them into something less than human beings with feelings and dignity. My teams, both in basketball and tennis are given the opportunity to make many decisions in regard to play, training, practice, and so forth and are encouraged to express freely their thoughts and feelings. The women's basketball team is growing, both from an individual standpoint and for those of you who are keeping score cards, in terms of a win-loss record - and I am proud of them.

BY PA TI'I REILLY " l wanted to create _a place where people could come to meet other people and just have a good time," explained Joe Vispi owner of Vispi's Camelot Lounge in the Narrows Shopping Center, Edwardsville. Vispi, who also owns several summer stock theaters in Ohio, considers the managing of the ba r as "sort of a hobby. " The decor of Vispi's _is unique . It has been decoratefj in the theme of Camelot, which happens to be Vispi 's favorite play . ' · Thick carpeting with velvet chairs, dark leather couches, small cocktail tables, larger game tables and rich gold curtains accent the fireplace. Vispi commented that the bar was decorated in a way that was most conducive to meeting people. He happily added that over 300 marriages have sprung out of Vispi's 17 year reputation. 1 The prices for drinks are comparable to any bar. Michelob and Budweiser beer are always offered on tap; however, no bottled beer is available. Homemade pizza is offered on Friday and Saturday afternoons - free of charge - in hors d'oeuvre size pieces. It is delicious. A very elaborate stereo system provides dancing music, although the dancing floor is so crowded on Friday and Saturday nights that you can't help ''bumping into someone." Vispi's is open 6 days a week from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. The dress is casual although jeans are not generally seen. Irish Feast On St. Patrick's Day green champagne will flow from Vispi's fountain along with lots of green sandwiches for everyone, just fringe benefits for the clientele. " It's fun to celebrate special holidays," explained Vispi. As I looked around I was impressed with the elaborate Easter decorations Easter baskets hung from the ceiling, with handmade eggs in them. Vispi confided in me that they had spent close to $4,000 on their Easter decorations. Vispi likes to share a bottle of champagne and a birthday cake with his patrons when they are celebrating a birthday. I was amazed how Vispi s~emed to know most of the people in the lounge on a first name basis. He was genuinely interested in everyone. In a day when everyone seems to be out to rip the public off it is nice to know that you can go to a place like Vispi's and just have a good time. As I was leaving the lounge, Mr. Vispi commented that the drinking age in the state of Pennsylvania probably will be lowered to 19 years of age with the commencement of the next state legislature.

Reif Calls For Student Action , On Tuesday a blue-eyed and pale-skinned young lady (from West Pittston, I presumed ) asked me what I thought of the idea of having members of The Biological Society of Wilkes College try to break the record of pushing a four-poster bed contim1ously for four days and in doing so raise enough money to buy an electron microscope for the Department of Biology. On Wt::dnesday another young lady with very dark eyes and dark skin (from Nigeria, I presumed ) asked me to assign her to a faculty advisor as a ma jor in biology, which I refused to do beca use in our short conversation I ~as sure that she did not w1dcrstand what I was saying to her and I had difficulty in understanding what she was saying to me. These LWO incidents are related and the first suggestion I shall make, below; relates to that relationship, and it ... lso has a bearing on many other ,. -;peels of campus life. In my experience at Wilkes College I have seen many students come to Wilkes College from other countries, with high hopes and sufficient ability, only to find ti.emselves behind the eight ball because they were not well enough prepared in the use of the English language (as she is spoke in Wyoming Valley ). My position on this subject has long been that Wilkes College does these welcome visitors a great disfavor by allowing them to start bona fide course work before they have demonstrated that they can follow lecture_s in English and that they can study in any manner rapidly enough to keep up with their classes. All of us at Wilkes College are happy to have these foreign students with us, and aq of us benefit from knowing them; but too many of them have suffered too much because they have had trouble academically, practically all of the trouble's stemming from their difficulty with the English language. So what can be done about it ? days or even weeks, the same eager students comprise a team, and working one at a time, spend an hour a day drilling any foreign student who needed such coaching, in the use of English. The job requires a one to one encounter, with pleRty of give and take , lots of repetition, and tons of good friendly encouragement. I'm sure I would feel a greater sense of accomplishment were I to help a fellow student get off to a good start-than I would from pushing a bed to a world record. Incidentally, I know that some of the foreign students speak languages which are required at Wilkes College ; this opens up the possibility of reciprocal benefits. But let's take the idea a step or two further. Instead of swimming fifty laps for logies-on-the-bogies, or dancing three days for good old cerebral atrophy, why not be involved first-hand in a constructive project. Participation in a stunt to Constructive Suggestions raise funds for something, which one My suggestion for today is, that thinks should be done , is a good way instead of pushing a bed around for to keep the problem at arm's length. Why should one do the hard work involved in really doing something about a messy problem when one can have good clean fun merely by raising funds instead ? Why not let . some other sucker do the hard work first hand ? Campus Courtesies Now I know there are holes in this argument but let us con.,ider what it would mean at Wilkes College were the students really to be involved. What can be done by the students on campus? Well, how about a little courtesy on the walks and in the halls and on the stairways? How about some consideration for the lawns on campus, as well as the trees? How about less littering ? Why not stop the nasty habit of stomping out cigarettes on floors, rugs, and sidewalks? How about getting rid of the slimy graffiti on the walls of the toilets ? How about stopping the goofing off in class? How about returning those books to the library, and how about making the library a place where one can study ? How about having the Clean Environment Club do something about cleaning up the campus, or maybe, just maybe, how about having The Bioh.:gical Society do something biological? I sound like a dreamer, don 't I? Maybe · so, but I think enough students on this campus agree with me so that some progress could be made. As citizens of the cold cold world,'all of you are going to face the same problems and in the cold cold world those problems are going to make a difference in the. quality of your lives. Why not learn to do something about solving those problems right here on this campus, at Dear Old Wilkes, here and now ?

Marcy's Resignation Prompts A Meeting BY CHRIS PANTELAKOS Circuit, Horan said that the Board will have to check its finances before any action is taken. He stated that if there is sufficient money in the treasury, he would like to hold two or three more Coffee Houses. However, the S.U.B. has lost money on every Coffee House this year. Horan estimates this loss at somewhere between $75 and $100 for each affair. Hesaid the reason for this is that the Coffee Houses are not attracting enough people to cover the cost of expenses. The S.U.B. has to pay for the artist, his transportation, and his room and board for two or three nights. In addition, they have to provide coffee and doughnuts for the people attending. Horan said that the S.U.B. is not out to make a profit on the whole thing, but hold the Houses for the benefit of the students. The Executive Board of the S.U.B. has called an emergency meeting today in Weckesser Hall to deal with the resignation of Tom Marcy, its Treasurer, and to discuss the future of the Coffee House circuit. In a letter to the S.U.B., Marcy stated that his resignation was to be effective as of Wednesday, March 5. He stated that personal problems have prompted his decision. However, the Board did not accept Marcy's resignation as yet and has requested his presence at the meeting. Bill Horan, director of the S.U.B., stated that Marcy will be expected to present a written financial statement on all activities that have occurred during his term in office. Along with the report Marcy must answer any questions that the Board may ask of him. Marcy is expected to tell exactly why he did resign. Horan said that if the Board NOTICE accepts Marcy's resignation he will . . . . accept suggestions from Art Hoover Fmanc1al Aid Packages are ready and other members of the Boar~ to ~ picked up at the Financial Aid to who will take his place. - --1 Office, Chase Hall. · With regard to the Coffee House The college exists for the student, but very often we, as students, find fault with the institution and are unaware of the proper channels to go through in order to express our desire for change. One of the most influential bodies on campus is our Student Government. As students, we are represented in this body by twenty-four elected members, six from each class, and an executive council, all acting under the President. Recently, we expressed our choices for Student Government members through class elections; now we must choose our President in an all campus election. Before voting, it is very important that we know the qualifications of our candidates, and the prospective plans he has to offer. I feel that my past experiences with campus activities qualify me for the position of Student Government President. The direction I would like to see Student Government take in the coming year would be towards a more active involvement in academic problems, political enlightenment and social rechanneling. With the backing of Student Government, it can be possible to improve the finals policy and the current grading system. Becoming more involved with the Pennsylvania Student Lobby, will give us a stand on solving student problems and keep us aware of our situation as a student in this state. In regard to social activities, I feel that Student Government has for too long taken on the planning and responsibility of social events. The classes and the S. U.B. are just as aware of student social desires and equally capable of carrying them out. In recogn1zing the importance of Student Government, we should also realize the significance of an effective Student Government President. As in any election, your choice is represented by a vote for the candidate you support. Please vote. Zahorney Looks To Future HOWIE STARK ' '' ·i::; ... ~..- »,,.~4 :,,,.,,?~~~ ~ 't'is EDZABORNEY It is my opinion that an effective Student Government President must have certain abilities and capabilities. He must be aware, sensitive to needs, able to listen, able to communicate, and able to direct. He needs, too, the resources with which to work, the cooperation of the faculty and administration, and most important, unity among the students. In past years, several proposals '· have been introduced to Student Government, along with ideas of my own that I feel would be of benefit to the students, but to date have not been implemented. Among these, I intend to pursue the adoption of a decimal grading system, the publication of course requirements and course descriptions, immunity :; from finals for the students having a , ·3 or 4 average in any particular course, the possibility of a " pass-fail " system for certain · courses, a survey of both residential and commercial parking which Wilkes students could take advantage of, and the physical improvements of the Student Union, possibly to the degree of abandoning Church Hall and constructing a new facility - this concept at least requires consideration and planning for the not so immedia te future. It is not my intention to promise implementation of all of the above • proposals within the next year. Realistically, no candidate should make promises to such an effect. However, I do feel that these are strong and sound concepts which must be actively pursued now. And with your support, improvements such as these can become an actuality. ~~-✓ ~ Security Guard Catches Suspect A suspect recently was apprehended for allegedly trying to break into Susquehannock Hall through a side door. Andrew Adams, the guard from Del-Cap detective agency, apprehended the youth when he was making his routine check. The suspect was caught with his belt unbuckled and his pants open. Adams took the suspect to the security desk located in the lobby of Pickering Hall where guard Andrew Pappas notified ·Al . Foderaro , Assistant Director of Housing, of the incident and then notified police who later arrested the suspect for the previous charges. The suspect had an unofficial Wilkes ID in his possession, but investigation revealed that he is not a Wilkes student. At a hearing before City Magistrate John Bednarz, the suspect said that he only wanted a Coke and was trying to get into the building. Bednarz turned the case over to the grand jury, where it is pending trial. In an inter,view with Foderaro, he said, " Wilkes has been troubled with people just hanging around and with the capture and publicity it will show the public the good working security force that we have."

However, in the quarters, Montclair's Rich Numa beat him 25-7. Drained Dry By Jim Sanders �THE BEACON March 13, 197 2 JOHN CARROLL NUMBER ONE TWO CHAMPIONS; NO TITLE BY PAUL DOMOWITCH · LOOKING DOWN ON THE REST-Colonel matman Jim Weisenfluh is pictured on the awards platform, after capturing the NCAA Division III 167-pound championship. 'Flub just missed capturing the "outstanding wrestler" award at the tourney, which was won by Montclair's Nabil Guketluv. The stage was set for the history-making climax. All that was to be done was to carry out the plan, as it had been laid out. Sure, there would be a few stumbling blocks. John Carroll and Montclair would make things interesting, but in the end, it would be the Wilkes Colonels blasting their way to a second straight NCAA Division III wrestling crown. A funny thing happened on the way to the championship though. The Colonels were upset. Eight Blue and Gold matmen made it to Friday night's quarterfinal round however, and it appeal'ed things were indeed working out as planned. But three hours later, with the quarters being history, only four Wilkesmen remained, and the Colonels far back in the·team standings. . , At the conclusion of the next afternoon's semi-finals, 158-pounder Gene,Ashley, and 167 pounder Jim Weisenfluh stood alone as the only two Wilkes survivors to make it to the championship finals that night. Both Ashley and Weisenfluh went on to capture their first national titles, but something was missing from the glim and glitter that goes with winning it, and that was another team crown for Wilkes, to compliment the duo's individual feats. It's over now, and what is done is done, but the hurt and disappointment for John Reese, and t~e eight who fell by the wayside, will linger on for quite a while longer. Tough Break For Chak . For John Chakmakas, the pill is that much harder to.take. He had been to the top last year, and won it all. But_in 1975 Chak met his Waterloo against Montclair's Vinnie Tundo in the semi-finals, where he lost 4-0. It took a while for the loss to sink in, but as he struggled through the consolations half-heartedly, his face revealed the bitter · disappointment inside him. . And when it came time for tfie placewinners to stand upon the awards podium, John felt awkward bemg four levels down instead of at the top, where he had stood proudly one year ago. Al Schare; too, will never get the chance to right the wrong suffered there, since he, like Chakmakas and Ashley are seniors. But Scharer knew the road would be rugged, with "Jo-Jo" Betolone, the 340 pound heavyweight from John Carroll waiting for him if he ever did indeed make the finals. . For Lonny Balum Mike Kassab Greg MacLean, Dave Gregrow and. Bruce Lear, there will be other seasons, and other tourname~ts. They all p~ssess a tremendous amount of talent, and will be making quite a bit o~ noise next season. Balum and Kassab perhaps could have won it all this year, but for one point losses m the quarterfinals, while MacLean and Gregrow are still a season away from jelling. Preefer Comes Through · • One of the biggest stories for the Colonels however, was curly-haired sophomore Roy Preefer, who placed third · at 118 pounds. Last September, Preefer was regarded as John Reese's third string lightweight behind national rutmerup Rick Mahonski, and freshman Frank Stellatella. But Mahonski never made it to the mats due to injury, andStellatella could not make weight (although Preefer could beat him). So that left Roy, and what a job he did. He ripped apart opponent after opponent after being selected the fifth seed in the tourney, until he went up against Montclair's Nabil Guketluv in the semi's. Ashley and Weisenfluh did not lose to the best. They were the best last weeKenct, and their performances proved that point. Gino had a close call in the semi's, pulling it out against St. Lawrence's Mitch Brown in the final 20 seconds, but his 5-2 decision over Oswego's Ed Pucci in the finals, closed out Ashley's Division III career on a happy note. Weisenfluh perhaps, is one of the best wrestlers in the nation, Division I, II, or III. But he is prone to mistakes, and John Reese was on the edge of his seat during 'Fluh's final round ·match until the final second had ticked away, and Jim had it won. He may surprise lot of people at the University-Division nationals this weekend. a Dad There To See Gino Win Title The last few weeks h~ -;e been quite exciting for Gene Ashley. It began on February 28, when Gino's wife, April, gave birth to ~ baby boy_in a N_ew Jersey hospital; two days after the 158-pounder won his second con~ecutive Middle Atlantic Conference title. And last Saturday, the excitement continued to mount when Ashley brought home a national Division III mat title. For Gino the wrestler, the personal satisfaction of it all is beyond the realm of e;planation. Since he began wrestling nearly ten years ago, his dream had been to become a national champion. A year ago he came within one win of doing just that. But unfortunately, he was defeated in the '. 1974 NCAA finals by Jim Fallis of Lake Superior State College. Fallis went on to become the tournament's outstanding wrestler, and Gino was forced to settle for second best. This season however, the quest ended in Cleveland, Ohio, where Ashley rolled over fi;e opponents en route to the 158 pound crown, beating Ed Pucci of Oswego State, 5-2 in Saturday night's finals. For Gino, the family man, it was a proud moment, as well. "I want to have done something, so I can prove to my son when he grows up, that I was a wrestler," Ashley said jokingly. But all joking aside, there is a lot of truth in that statement. Gene Ashley is a proud man, and a man to whom respect means a great deal. In his new role as a father, as well as a husband, accomplishments mean a lot to him. He wants his family to be proud of him, and winning a national title is one way to accomplish a portion of that. There was a familiar face in the John Carroll gymnasium crowd last weekend. Unfamiliar to most, perhaps, but to Ashley, it was a face he knew very well; a face he respected as much as he hopes his son Benjamin will himself someday. It was Gino's father, James Ashley, who had-travelled all the way from his home in New Jersey to see his son wrestle in the tournament. Immediately after winning his final match Saturday, Gino headed away from the mat, in the direction of the crowd. ,Coach John Reese stood in his corner puzzled as to where he was going, but seconds later, he found the answer, the elder Ashley appeared out of the crowd and put his arm proudly around his son. · His father will watch him wrestie once again this weekend in the NCAA University-Division tournament up in Princeton, New Jersey. But this time the trip won't be as long for Jim Ashley. TEN CHAMPIONS-These are the ten collegii(ns who won individual titles at John Carroll University in Cleveland. Gene Ashley and Jim Weisenfluh, the two lone Colonel victors, are shown in the back row on the far left. So Gino won a national championship last weekend in Cleveland for four people. He won it for himself, and the satisfaction of knowing that he is the best. He won it for his wife, April, whom he loves. He won it for his father, whom he respects. And he wort it for his new born son, who someday will be proud of his "daddy", in more ways than one. When Benjamin is five years old, and another youngster approaches him and says boastfully, "my daddy is a policeman, what's yours? Little Benjy can look him squarely in the eye and answer in reply, "My daddy was a national champion." -DOMOWITCH- Wildcard · Selections Are Named Montclair 's Vince Tundo, and Oswego State's Ed Pucci were selected as the two wild card selections from the NCAA Division III tournament in Cleveland, to accompany the ten individual champions to this weekend's University-Division confab in Princeton, New Jersey. Under a new NCAA ruling, the Division III coaches are allowed to select two wrestlers in the tourney other than the ten champs, for a pair of at large berths. This now gives Division III 12 wrestlers in the Division I confab, instead of the ten they had a season ago. Tundo, only a freshman, surprised everyone last weekend, by knocking off def_gnding champion John Chakmakas in the 134-pound semi-finals. In the championship round however, he was less fortunate; succumbing to John Carroll's Mark Hawald-Cale, by a 3-2 decision. Pucci also made it to the finals, but was beaten by the Colonel's Gene Ashley 5-2 in the 158-pound title match. Pucci lost to Ashley during the dual season, 3-2, when the pair squared off up in New York State. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It seems as if the effort of filing a standardized questionnaire for each class was not in vain, even though some students 1completed as many as seven forms . The positive results of this endeavor can be detected daily . For example, as a result of the student evaluation many of the educators are presenting newly revised course outlines, listing the prescribed reading assignments and dates, the time of tests, the due dates of research papers and the time and place of make-ups . · In addition, a working relationship between students and teachers, regarding the return of examinations has been strengthened . Teachers, especially in the History Department, are returning graded blue books in a matter of days, whereas betore it was a question of weeks because of the lengthy essay answers . Comments, explaining the errors or excellence of tests, also have increased . Students are now more awar~ of the reasons behind their high . or low ratings _ ~ In other departments, tests do not tend to overlap each other as previously, enabling in- dividuals to know their status before proceeding to take anoth er quiz . Reading materials in many of the disciplines also have improved to the best of our knowled ge. Instead of battling through thick volumes of tiny print, students can page through texts without fear of eyes.train because of increased teacher consideration . Authors of textbooks and outside readings seem to be selected by the instructors with more care, enhancing student interest in each program , we believe. Teachers are relating theories to evervdav experiences more than in the past. For examr>le . drama directors such as Al Groh and Jay Fields and drama teachers as Dr . Charlotte Lord are makin g personal attempts to view Broadway and off-Broadway plays and to parti c ipate in drama seminars in the U.S. and abroad . This in itself may or may not be beneficial to the students, depe ndin g how the knowledge is employed in the classroom. However, it is good to see th ese professors bringin g their dail y and weekend theater experien ces back to their students, explainin g the signifi can ce of current plays and their importance to course work . Teachers generally are well prepared for th_e classroom experi ence . Wh ereas some of our fac ulty mem be rs m ere ly rambl ed t hrough bundles of note cards , compil ed years before, presentin g nea rl y id entical lectures each time the course was condu cted, they now appear to be res pondin g to suggestions and changing or experimenting with new tec hniques, making the same thematic points. Another manner in which Wilkes teachers have responded to student opinions regarding practical experience is the establishment of practicums . We feel this is a fine way in which to extend formal " book learning" to a useful career . By making contacts outside of the classrooms and dormitories, students can acquire a deeper understanding of the world at large by experiencing it before commencement . Similarly, students are replying to the obvious good _alterations with increased attendance in many classes, better understanding of individual majors, and a new outlook on education . Unfortunately, some teachers failed to distribute evaluation sheets last semester or refused to study them in detail. As a resµlt , we feel that the students were not treated fairly nor given the · courtesy of consideration. Perhaps these teachers eventually will meet the students half-way in the attempt to accelerate, to enhance, and to fortify our educational experience at Wilkes. On the other ha-n d, those students whci failed to make their opinions known or composed untruthful responses to the evaluation questions are just as much to blame for the drawbacks prevalent ir. some courses. , We have gained much from the student teacher-evaluation here at Wilkes. We hope that this growing process will become a universal habit at 1-he school , achieving 100 percent participation . from students and faculty . Beacon ___ .. ____ .. Andy Petyak Epitor in Chief .

E LECTION (From Page 1) TUITION (From Page 1) Federal Government requires that the college upgrade all its existing buildings by improving the wiring, installing fire doors, sprinkler systems, and enclosing stairways, using wire glass which costs the college $1-million. Since this did not fall under the federal flood fund program the college had to treat this as an out-of-pocket expense. This has brought high interest and amortization rates, until the completed work is approved by federal officials. Wilkes must bear this unexpected expense and wait for reimbursement until then. The tuition rates for the past four years were: 1971-$1700; 1972-$1850; 1973-$1850; and 1975-$2000. Keeping track of 13 inter-collegiate sports and performing other various duties is not an easy task for one person. But George Pawlush, Wilkes' Sports Information Director (SID ) and Assistant Director of Public Relations, has to d~ exactly that. Although the job is demanding, Pawlush enjoys every bit of his work.

Mak es Them Shudder 11911'•1!■ B y Jim Sanders · '·· A DATE WITH DESTINY Jim Stehle has a destiny with greatness awaiting him soon. In just a few short years, some major league baseball team is going to be paying Jim an awful lot of money for doing what he does best-throwing a baseball. And last season left little doubt that the blond southpaw can do that with the best of them. As a freshman a year ago on the Colonel pitching staff, Jim averaged an amazing 13.8 strikeouts for every nine innings pitched, and amassed an ERA of 1.00! Pitching 45 innings during the season, Stehle limited the opposition to a meager 13 hits. Jim's only flaw was a case of wildness, which saw him walk a batter every 1.3 mnings. But working under the watchful eye of assistant coach Bob Duliba, a former major league hurler himself, Stehle's lack of control appears to be a thing of the past, from what we have observed thus far. Stehle's teammates kid him about his control now and then. Just the other day, he turned to Duliba and asked him how many pitches to throw. Duliba gave him a number. which in actuality would simulate three innings of a regular ballgame and Jerry Bavitz, who was catching Jim, responded, "That's only one inning in a game he pitches." Ribbing like this is as much a part of Stehle as his fastball. But everyone on the squad fully realizes that Stehle's arm, may very well be the key to the MAC throne room in 1975. his teammates kid him about someday playing major league ball, as well, and one incident last season is typical of how he responds to the playful jabbing. Bavitz greeted him on the second floor of the college commons with a tennis ball, which he asked Stehle to "graph" for him. Jim promptly put one leg up on a chair, responded "Sure kid," took the ball and signed it, " Regards to a friend, Jim " Big Leaguer" Stehle. · I Qnce he takes to the mound, however,.J im is all business, and there is nothing funny about the way he throws a baseball. " He has gotten his rhythm down perfect," Duliba told us, " and if he remembers everything he has learned, he is going to be tough from here on in. The relationship between Stehle and " Ock" is more than just that of a player and a coach. Stehle has a tremendous amount of respect for .him, and has worked hard at picking up everything Duliba has taught him. For J im, "Ock" represents a type of father figure in a baseball uniform, and pleasing him means a lot. Duliba respects Stehle as well, and sees a tremendous amount of potential in him. Like a father, " Ock" would like to see Jim go farther in baseball, than even he himself did. He has helped him develop an excellent breaking ball, as well as aiding him improve his control, and is bringing him along, until there is nothing more that he can teach him. So, Stehle's date with destiny draws a step nearer with every game he pitches and until that date arrives, Wilkes College baseball fans are in for quite a show from " Big Leaguer.''.

If they with southpaw Jim Stehle, and . righthanded team capt<1in Paul Hughes back in force . Stehle is one of the hardest throwing hurlers in Wilkes history, with impressive first. year credentials backing up the big sophomore's ability. Last season, he was 3-2, but had a 1.00 ERA, and gave up only 13 hits in 45 innings pitched. Hughes also is an all-star prospect, and is capable of bettering 1974's 6-2 log. With cancellations and scheduling problems sure to plague the Colonel's in the latter stages of the season, a third starter will have to be chosen from veterans' Tony Schwab, and Jerry Bavitz, and fine looking newcomers Barry Harcnarufka, Andy Kresky, and Bill Hockenberry_. Finding stoppers in the bullpen is not going to be hard for Domzalski. With MAC all-star catcher Dave Paolinelli sitting out a semester, Domzalski is tinkering with the idea of switching first baseman Jack Keller to catcher. Keller, a junior, was a backstop in high school at Wyoming Valley West, and can F & M Tilt Draws Nearer Wilkes Stick,nen Scri,n,naging Lafayette College This Afternoon BY RICH CO LANDREA As the season opener draws closer for the Blue and Gold lacrossemen against highly touted Franklin and Marshall College, on April 1, coach Jon Holbrock has his squad hard at work ironing the wrinkles out of their offensive and defensive play. The stickmen have had three scrimmages under their belt thus far. After easily defeating Drexel and Dowling University, the Colonels were pounded by last year's eighth ranked team in the nation. Rutgers University last week. Wilkes was unable to put up a score. In fact, midfielder Craig Austin came the closest to scoring as he managed to muster up a shot that hit the post. ..• ,,v., •. The game provided high calibre competition for Wilkes as they saw that their power scoring attack can be stopped. The Colonels have two more scrimmages on tap this week, as they travel to Lafayette today and host Ithaca College Saturday~ So far, it looks as if the scoring ~ombinations of Billy Winter, Gary Geishen and Bob Armstrong will provide most of the fire . power. Winter led the nation in scoring last year and Geishen was rated 12th in the college-division. Armstrong came into his own last year, and his hustle should add tallies. At midfield the Wilkesmen will utilize two lines. The first is made up of juniors Craig Austin, Kurt Franke and Bruce Davis. Davis, a transfer from Bowling Green University, had to sit out last year because of NCAA rules, but is eligible this season and will be an asset. Bruce is quick and deceptive, and can break most any MAC defense, which should arouse fans. Austin , a steady and knowledgeable player is joined by Franke. The other midfield consists of co-captain John Malatrus, Nick Lozorak and Vince Krill. Malatrus, who is called " Extra Large" by his teammates, is not afraid to mix it up with the opposition. He is big and strong and has perhaps the hardest shot on the team. Vince Krill is again (Continued on Page 7) ·Brabant Selected To All-MAC -S quad Junior cager Jack Brabant made it two in a row this past week, when he was once again selected to the Middle Atlantic Conference Northern-Division all-star squad's second team.

Named as first team selections were Don Williams of Juniata, a 6-5 junior• forward, Scranton combo Jack Maher and Paul Miernicki; and Philadelphia Textile's Emory Sammons, and Ed Hoban. Blue and Gold forward Clarence Ozgo obviously did not impress the MAC coaches enough, despite his team leading 16.3 point a game _ average. Brabant became the eighth Colonel cager in history to surpass the 1000 point plateau this season, when he hit the magic number against Elizabethtown College on Feb: 21. Presently, he has 1026 JACK BRABANT counter, with another year to ·go. Finishing the season with a 13.9 scoring average, Brabant cracked .the 20 point mark four times this year, with his highest point production coming against Lycoming, wben he hit for 23.

McCarthy, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1968 and 1972, will try one more time for the · Presidency - but this time as an independent. Appearing on the Wilkes campus Monday night as the final speaker in this year's Concert and Lecture Series, McCarthy assailed the Republican and Democratic , parties for "failing to address themselves to the important issues of the nation." "You can never expect much of the Republican Party," commented McCarthy. He sees his native Democratic Party in similar difficulty in 1976. "The Democrats will either come up with a wholly unacceptable candidate or a compromise candidate not fully in touch with the nation's problems." McCarthy sUIJlJl'Ulrized his views on the two parties this way: "If one party could nominate Nitpn twice and the other party couldn't beat him, then that indicates that the two party system is not working right." Rather than jump into the already-crowded field for the Democratic nomination and slug it out in a string of primary elections, McCarthy will bide his time until the November election in 1976 and carry the banner of the Committee for a Constitutional Presidency. He hopes to have his independent party placed on the ballots of all 50 states. From indications he gave Monday night, the 1976 McCarthy campaign will be somewhat unorthodox. For example, he will not have a Vice Presidential running mate. "Vice Presidential candidates only clutter up the campaign and confuse the issues," he stated. He hopes to have the Electoral College pick his Vice President when it meets in December, 1.976. Although his campaign techniques are a little lighthearted, McCarthy is serious when it comes to the issues of the campaign. �jTHE BEACON The Doctor la Hopeful . _ 'Phihes' Feels Colonels Are·Playoff Material BY RICH COLANDREA ·Colonel Tennis Squads Face 'B usy Weekend Sports ·Calendar ....................

Williams tagged the nickname on himself because he fee'ls "there is an avuncular relationship between the teacher and the student." However, ,some students who have had Econ. 101 or 102 with Williams have made up their own nicknames. On the whole, though, Williams seems to get along well with his students in the classroom, and probably out of the classroom as well. Several of his former students admit being in his class can be a lot of fun. At one time he held an election in which students voted for the person who most deserved to be named " Nerd of the Year," " Nerd of the Decade," and "Mega Nerd.'' Some of the responses were very strange @ to say the least. But so were some of drop period is too long. "It's not a his students. good policy/' stated Williams.

Stn.ct En1.orcement Of Wilkes Campus Parking Regulations ~ BYMARIANNEMONTAGUE Parking is, without a doubt, a major problem on the Wilkes College campus. Where to park, how to park, when to park and how to avoid all the trouble of parking are questions that are constantly with the student motorist. Compoi'.mded to the difficulty of just finding a parking space is the worry of getting a ticket for parking in a prohibited zone. And for the Wilkes student every parking space on campus is a prohibited zone. Mr. Charles Abate, Business Manager, explained the reasoning behind such strict parking rules. He pointed out that the student handbook states there is no student p~king ~~d on campus. This means that if a student brings his car to school, he must traveled number of students in the charging the students," he conarrange for off-campus parking. car ha;dship cases, and cases of eluded.

" There is no way you can Our problem is being located in the ecological implications. construct a building like that without central city.'' Mr. Abate states that the parking staff has always,followed through in pursuing parking offenders, but they have been more successful this year, since the college is trying to determine how many spaces are needed for faculty and staff. Any empty spaces could then be designated for student use. .

The student elections seem to lack a certain responsibility . Issues and candidates tend to be vague about things and the rules which govern campus elections, such as those concerning campaigning, are not generally known . This can lead to complications as happened in the recent IDC election. What is worse is the amount of student participation in elections . If you compare the number of el igible voters with the number of actual voters, the results can be shocking . The majority of students just don't bother to vote . This can make an election a farce. A bad candidate could win an election simply by securing a large enough block of voters in his circle of friends . This is especially possible in the elections for lower offices and tha.block needed could be as little as .20 votes. Student Government recently formed an Election and Publicity Committee to better publicize future elections . Perhaps the committee could al so draw up a definite list of election regulations and brief all candidates before campaign ing begins, and any late candidates as well. The students themselves must change the voting habits at Wilkes . Instead of complaining about the people in charge of your organizations , vote for the one you think is best. Man us cript Praised By Barbato Dear Editors, I can only hope that I am in time to extend my gratitude to the Manuscript Society and her various contributors, for this .year's 'Manoscript.

Decision To the Editor : I would like to point out that the I.D.C. election and any election here after have just been made a farce due to the ruling by Student Government concerning Guy "Pinky" DiZebba. The ruling declared Pink)' ineligible to run for I.D.C. President because of the trivial matter of-putting up signs in the wrong place and manner. Our so-called Student Government representatives must have made up · their minds on how they were going to vote prior to the meeting. During the voting one person approached the chair and admitted that he put up the signs for Pinky without Pinky's knowledge. It was J also pointed _out . that there ~re several fallacies m the campaign , regulations distributed by Student Government. Still Pinky was declared ineligible.

Second, the administration was not prepared to " hack out" financial matters with Fang Productions.

Play Production Highlighted By Versatile Acting " Love will conquer all' was the i:nessage conveyed by the cast of "The Canterbury Tales" in an excellent production of that play last weekend. A musical comedy, the play was rich with humor and good music. While the entire cast performed exceptionally well, John Cardoni, Pat Wright and Cathy Roccograndi stole the show. Holding a major role in three of the four tales presented, John Cardoni was most effective in each one. He played the part of an innocent squire, adulterous student, a non-adulterous-but-not-so-innocent student and a young knight with TO JOIN PARENTS-Wilkes freshman Steven DeGroote has a personal equal ease.

The blond psychology major is also one of the top women's tennis players at Wilkes, and her superior doubles play has earned her myriads of praise from her teammates as well as opposing netwomen. While two may be company, three is certainly not a crowd for Nancy, who during the winter months, also plays on the Colonelette basketball team. While not a starter, she did an outstanding job in a reserve role this season.

Bob Considine, one of the best and most famous newspaper columnists, will address the Class of 1975. In the event of inclement weather, Considine will address the graduates in the Kingston Armory. A few specific details, which apply to all graduates, are essential to ensur·e proper scheduling and planning. First, graduates are asked by the college to appear at Ralston Field in their caps and gowns on May 25 no later than 12:30 p.m. Graduates are asked to form in the blacktop parking area on the knoll adjacent to the dressing room at Ralston Field. The college requests that parking will be permitted in the Students Receive Awards BY MARIANNE MONTAGUE designated area and not to bring cars in the blacktop area where the graduates will convene. For the Commencement activities, . where caps and gowns are worn, it is requested that both men and women wear dark conservative clothing and dark f.hoes. The graduate need not return the cap and gown. Every degree candidate must go to the Bookstore by May 2 to be measured for the caps and gowns. They may then be picked up at any time prior to the Commencement week. Announcements concerning graduation are available · at the Bookstore. Each graduate is entitled to six announcements, but additional announcements may be pw-chased. Those potential graduates, who have reason to doubt their attaining satisfactory academic standing, should be fully aware, and should avoid making plans that could cause embarrassment. Dean George Ralston requests students to see him.

The BEACON would like to· extend best wishes to the members of the class of '75 and hopes that each one will attain the goals h~ seeks. We would a1so like to wish everyone a good vacation and we look forward to serving you again in tne fal I. Cherry Blossom Success Cherry Blossom Festival was held last weekend and it was a smashing success. Saturday was a beautiful day and the carnival set up on the River Common provided a day of fun. It is only too bad that the weather did not hold up on Sunday as well. Those who planned the carnival worked hard at it and they deserve the thanks of everyone who attended it. George Pawlish, J.ane Matalavage, Ann Marie Ramonowich, and all students involved did a fine job. It was well planned and organized and that is what makes such an event a success. Such activities are always appreciated and it's too bad we don't have many more like it on campus. THE BEACO" May 8, 1975 _Letter~ T~ The Editor . Sen10r Quest10ns Worth Of Four years· To the Editor: As graduation approaches and I look back at and re-examine the experiences of my four years of study at Wilk~s College, I realize that I have learned an awful lot about many things. One question then arises : was it worth it? I learned much in the field of study I chose and I am grateful for this. Wilkes has some of the best educators in their fields and so is able to provide its students with a quality education - most of the time. There are a few ·professors who know litUe about what they are supposed to teach and they show it. I also learned that economics what matters.

Tomorrow evening's annual Wilkes College athletic banquet in the school cafeteria, will bring down the curtain on another year of athletics at the coll,ege. The festivities will begin with a dinner, and conclude with the presentations of trophies and awards to the athletes by the coaches. It has been quite a year on the athletic scene at the college, with both success and disappointment marking the exploits of 13 inter-collegiate teams. The figures show seven of those thirteen turnini:1: in winning seasons, and three; the football, wrestling, and lacrosse teams winning conference crowns. But there is much more to athletic competition than just winning, and the phrase " either come home carrying your shield in victory, or comt: , home ·on it" is not indicative of the individual athlete at Wilkes, or their respective teams. Athletics has always taken a backseat to academics a the college, and that is certainly how it should be. There are no David Thompson's or Anthony Davis' among the two hundred or more athletic participants, and for the Wilkes College sportsman, life and death does not hinge on his performance on the athletic field. Keeping that in mind, we can see why the personal reward is just as fulfilling to someone like swimmer Dave Kowalek for winning the 200 hundred yard freestyle in a dual meet as it was for Gene Ashley winning a national title. Goals and expectations are set, and when they are reached or surpassed, no matter how big or how small, it makes the hours of sweat and 1>erseverance well worth it. Reflecting on the past year, we can note several examples of the'big and the small, separate in talent, but similar in their pursuits. It began last September on the Ralston Field gridiron. With the rain coming down by the bucketloads, the Wilkes gridders had their high hopes of national recognition washed away by an awesome c.w. Post football U111t, 44-6. Picking themselves up, and drying themselves out, coach Roland Schmidt's team improved with every game, and clinched their first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in nearly a half decade on the last day of the season, beating Albright 14-10. It was a season that saw the Colonels often times play only as well as it took to win, but in that Albright contest, with the Colonel defense cracking the Lion "wishbone," the sweat and the bruises payed off. The swim team's goals did not include an MAC title or national recognition. Under the guidance of vibrant head coach Rick Marchant, interest in the sport blossomed at the college, and the future appears bright for a sport that, a year earlier, was a few steps away from extinction . Possessing a spirit and a desire that was second to none; the wins did not surpass the losses, but the pride in their accomplishmel!ts was none the less measurable to that of the MAC champion gridders. There were several near misses in primary goal achievement, as was the case with the wrestlers, who did not win a second straight national title, and the basketball and baseball teams, who did not win the long awaited and hoped for MAC title. But struggle and perseverance along the way reaped personal satisfaction, and a pride; pride in themselves and a pride i,n their team made it all worth while, despite not acnieving that primary goal. So, tomorrow night in · the cafeteria, a few hundred Wilkes College athletes will be paid tribute for their accomplishments over the past year. While athletics may play second fiddle to academics at the school, and no one will probably ever go on to a star-studded professional career, " the pride of being a part" will be felt by everyone of those athletes, when the applause rings through the building. Tomorrow there will be no distinction between the winners and the also rans. Everybody will be recognized as what they t~y are: a Wilkes College athlete. Take a bow.

Vol.XXVIII,No.1 Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania September 11, 1975 DaYiJh To Lecture On Mid-East Peace Capin is First Acting President By Frank Baran By Rich Colandrea · Robert S. Capin doesn't find many leisure hours to h~self the~e days as he becomes 11 days old today as Acting President of the College, to fill a post vacated by Dr. Francis J. Michelini at the start of this month. Dr. Michelini accepted a position as head of the State Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities in Harrisburg. Thus, Capin becomes the first Acting President in college history. You see, Capin is also the official Dean of Academic Affair s, although he has delegated some of these chores to other college personnel. He still is a Professor of Accouriting but has only found time to squeeze in six to eight hours this semester in Accounting 101 as he starts his stint as president until a new president takes office. . The entire selection process may take anywhere from ~1x months to a year. The Presidential Search Committee, chaired by U.S. Court Judge Max Rosenn will screen candidates. The committee consists of seven members of the ~oard_ of Trustees: three members of the faculty including, Professor . Benjamin J. Fiester, English Department; Professor Welton G. Farrar Commerce and Finance Department ; and Professor' Charles B. Reif, chairman, Biology Department; and two students, Edward Zaborney, SG President and Debbie Lataro Wilkes senior. ' However, the mission of the Presidential Search Committee will be just to recommend candidates and the final selection is in the hands of the Board of Trustees, chaired by Atty. Joseph J. Savitz. In an interview last week, Mr. Capin discussed the key to a successful president and pointed out that the "allo~ati?n ~f respo~s~bility" is most important in running an mstitut10n. Dec1s10ns must be made in recognition of the needs and desires of students according to Capin, as he to~d the freshman class that "vou are Wilkes College·and without you and your fellow students there would be no purpose for the existence of this institution." He . also spoke of a "dual responsibility," when warning students not to take short cuts in their education, and by the same token, not to let anyone short cut them. By that statement Capin was referring to the faculty, as he has stressed to Department Chairmen the ~esponsibilities of class attendance by both the instructor and the stud~nt, and the compliance of office hours both in class and on the outside. ~c~ording to Acting President Capin, the primary m1ss10n of an institution is to " use the physical and human resources at our disposal to provide a quality education for our students. " r m ll in u ,.,J m1 / KIJ! f' .1) Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan will present his views on the recent signing of a new Israeli-Egyotian Interim Peace Agreement when he opens this year's Wilkes College Concert and Lecture Series Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the gym. In a speech entitled " Peace Negotiation~ in the Middle East: Some &,lutions," Dayan will address himself to the prospects for peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors in the war-ravaged Middle East. Dayan drew upon his extensive experience in the Israeli military and government in developing his proposals for an Arab-Israeli peace settlement. He served the State of Israel in the United Nations, as Chief of Staff of its armed forces, as Defense Minister, and as a member of the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. Dayan, a native-born Israeli, was a young farmer when he joined the Haganah, an underground Jew- ·· . Moshe Qayan · 1sh def~~se organization protesting the British mandate in Palestine. In _1~39, he was imprisoned by the British for two years because of his underground activities. Nevertheless, Dayan later joined the British army as a Jewish volunteer and was commissioned as an officer. It was during his service in World War II that he injured his eye, donning the black patch which later became his trademark. After the war, Dayan returned to his farm. His bucolic life was soon interrupted, however, by the Israeli War for Liberation in 1948. Dayan served as a commander on several fronts in that conflict. With the implementation of the United Nations truce which ended the fighting , Dayan was given several · sensitive diplomatic assignments due to his extensive knowledge of the Arab countries and their language. In December, 1954, Dayan was recalled from a mission at the U.N. to become Chief of Staff of Israel's armed forces. Following the 1956 Arab-Israel war, he resigned his post to study political science and Middle Eastern affairs. When war seemed inevitable in May, 1967, Dayan was called.upon to serve as Minister of Defense. In June, 1967, he and Yitzak Rabin, now Prime Minister of Israel, engineered a smashing six-day Wilkes Welcomes Freshni'·e~ n 41 Kirby Park Picnic Held Following a formal orientation earlier in the week at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the ' · Performing Arts, the 29th annual 1: Freshmen Orientation Program . took on an informal note when approximately 700 freshmen and transfer students were feted at a picnic at Kirby Park during the afternoon.

For the major portion of their collegiate grid careers, the two have been battling one · another for the· starting quarterback job on the Colonel football club, with neither one really able to move into the position on anything more than a temporary basis. Many sportswriters and fans have criticized head coaches who juggle quarterbacks in and out of a game the way Rollie Schmidt has done with Suppon and Snyder, on the substantiation that as field general, a quarterback can't really be effective unless he is confident and can take charge. And how, they say, can a player be confident when he is apprehensive about getting yanked on the first bad call he makes. THERE IS SOME truth to that reasoning, but as with any reasoning, there are exceptions, and this just may be one of them. No two athletes have worked harder to win a starting berth than Suppon and Snyder. For many, this past summer was a time of relaxation and fun. But for those two, it was a period of preparation. Snyder spent almost every day during his vacation working on his passing. He threw hundreds of aerials through tires impr(J\ring his accuracy, worked on his timing, and tried strengthening his arm. Suppon did much the same thing. Desire is certainly not in any short supply here. However, the comparison between the two is one of sharp contrast in regard to their football ability. There is Suppon. At 6-1, 185 pounds, he is strong and quick. As a quarterback in high school on a run oriented club, he seldom put the ball in the air, and earned a reputation as a fine runner. He attended Rutgers University for a short time, before transferring to Wilkes. · - AS A SOPHOMORE at Wilkes, he impressed Schmidt with SU:PPON AND SNYDER "No such thing as permanence." his running ability, and appeared to be the perfect quarterback to run the new Veer offense that the Colonels were installing. But what he possessed as a runner, he lacked as a consistent passer. Snyder's problem certainly wasn't his arm. He can throw short or long with deadly accuracy, but he is three inches and 20 pounds lighter than Suppon, ·and cannot afford to tangle with very many defensive tackles. _ . So there is the contrast: A good running quarterback and a ·.·..·..·.. ········ ······_-_-_·· ...·......· ... .... 18-Game Card Ahead Of Them '... .

The 1975 schedule looks like this: "WE'LL HAVE A good, solid team Sept. 17, Scranton, away; Sept. 20, once again this season," the coach Alumni, home; Sept. 23, Albright, explained, "but I'm going to be away; Sept. 25, Marywood, home ; holding my breath.

Season _Opener A Week Away ' ' (continued from page 8) good passing one. Suppon's strength is Snyder's weakness, and vice versa. NATURALLY, BOTH WANT the job for themselves, and the struggle hasn't been pleasant for either of them at times. At mid-season a year ago, Snyder had two excellent showings, and appeared to have finally settled into the number one position. It was a disheartening time for Suppon then, and there were moments, when he even contemplated quitting. . But as the year wore on, the tables turned, and Chuck came off the bench to help salvage an important win over Delaware Valley. Finally, it was Suppon who started in the all-important MAC title game against Albright, and he led the Colonels to a 14-10 win. If the Colonels had been losing instead of winning, there certainly would have been a great deal of criticism over the two-quarterback system. Even after a 7-2 season, and a conference championship, cynics will tell you that Wilkes can't win using both of them. But how many other clubs have._ someone like Snyder or Suppon, that can come off the bench and pick up the slack. A talented sixth man is invaluable to~ basketball team's success, and for the Colonels, their "twelfth" man is just as important. THIS SEASON, THE two are again battling hard for the right to start in the season opener against Clarion St., and that decision could be determined by each one's play in the Princeton scrimmage on Saturday. · "Both are in great shape," Schmidt said recently, "and functioning better than I have seen them in a year or two. But right now, we're looking at six quarterbacks, so it's hard to see anything in this short of a time. We'll have an opportunity to get a better look at them on Saturday." So Suppon and Snyder have learned to take both success and failure as only a temporary situation. Because for this ~ir, there "ain't no such animal" as permanence. And for Wilkes College football's sake, that could be a blessing. Sports By Paul D<)mowitth Cha·t ter· . - · WASTING A GIFTThese ~ds didn't want to be the best football players in the world, or hit a baseball as far and as fierce as someone like Reggie Jackson or Bobby Bonds. No, their aspirations and dreams didn't quite reach out that far. All these kids wanted to do was to be able to walk and run like any other norma_l human being. But they couldn't. They were stricken with muscular dystrophy_,) AS WE SAT there viewing the Jerry Lewis telethon this past Labor,Day, . and saw some of the small victims of this crippling disease, who will never sprint into the endzone for a game winning touchdown, or score the winning run in a crucial ballgame, we became incensed with the unnatural mixture of pity and madness. The pity that we felt in our hearts was of course for the MD victims, who were watching their muscles wither away like a dying flower, while a cure for this dreaded disease was being sought. The madness? The outlet for our infuriation was a great many of the athletes in today's sports, who waste the God-given talent they possess, and fail to give 100 per cent of themselves when they perform. It is a small portion of the world's population that cap make the claims and boasts of an athlete, and the much larger percentage of "non-athletes" lay mounds of worship on this elite group. They pay to watch them perform, ask for their autographs, and mimic their actions. They form fan clubs in their name, and brag to their friends that they shook such and such's hand. DESPITE ALL THIS, there are a great many athletes today that can't find it within themselves to go all out. They cheat the public, sure. But most of all they cheat themselves. They waste a possession that'75 per cent of the world lacks: verified athletic talent. And when we see this, and then watch a .cute little nine year old struggle to walk ten feet with the aid of iron braces, it makes us sick inside. Our Turn?

Dayan, the lead speaker in this year 's Concert and Lecture Series, faulted the agreement for not formally ending Egypt's state of war against Israel. He said that the Israeli withdrawals from the Sinai were compensated not by Egyptian concessions but by increased American military and economic aid to Israel. " I don 't mean to object to the U.S. aid, but we're at war with Egypt, not . the United States," General Dayan noted. While acknowledging Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's intentions of trying to secure a Middle East peace, Dayan contended that "Kissinger won't be able to bring peace with one shuttle or two shuttles or even ten shuttles" unless the United States reevaluates its Middle Eastern policy. The major obstacle to peace in the Middle East, Dayan said, is the extensive Soviet presence in the area as exemplified by the Soviet Union taking over the entire Egyptian air defenses for a period in 1970. Dayan further noted that following the 1973 Yorn Kippur war, Moshe Dayan At Gym she Soviets gave Egypt and Syria ten single file line.

CC President Jackie Pickering said the effort to rename the SUB is prompted by the poor health of Jadelis and the desire to acknowledge his many contributions to Wilkes College student life. Pickering noted that Jadelis was largely responsible for the creation of the SUB and that naming of th~ building for him would show that Wilkes students still appreciate the work he did for the college. cc Treasurer Len Shatkus observed that Jadelis " Just about built the building with his own two hands" and also made significant strides in reforming Student Government. * college admin~trators to consider the allocation of the 50 newly created student parking' spaces.

Sale of Books Set For Next Tuesday Seidm~n Moods In Leather FRYE BOOTS ,~------- by Floyd Miller This year begins the 20th year of intercollegiate debate at Wilkes College. Beginning . in 1949, and ~ except for a long period between 1 1967 and 1973 when there was no • team, Wi:l:es College debate has come to the present as a viable part of education at Wilkes. There have been formative years where Wilkes debate has not set the ' world afire, but there have been mofe good years, the most notable ~ being 1954, when Wilkes defeated the University of Alabama to become NUMBER ONE in the nation, of all colleges and universities. In its history, the Wilkes Debate Team has met and defeated such schools as Harvard, Army, Navy, Penn, Temple, Rutgers, Princeton, Pitt, Duquesne, Villanova, Penn State, King's, Notre Dame, Alabama, Virginia, S~ranton, and others. Most of Wilkes' success was under Dr. Arthur Kruger, whose books are used as debate textbooks at a number of colleges and universities throughout the country. Presently, Bradford Kinney coaches debate, after coming here in 1973 to help rebuild Wilkes debate after its , long drought. But enough of history; as the old trophies begin to show their age, new shiny trophies must be added to preserve the life of debate. Coach Kinney's people are actively engaged in that goal. And although their success has not been measured by the amount of hardware, it has been demonstrated by the improvement in their educational experience, by their travels, and by their hope for the coming year. Such an _ experience should not be reserved for only a handful, however, but for anyone who needs it, wants it, and is willing to feel it. And now for the sales pitch. There . is never such a thing as too many people working with debate. Just see Mr. Kinney in his office onthe second floor of Kirby Hall (or call ext. 393) . or talk to anyone you know on the team. Anyone interested is welcome, regardless of experience, major, class, or grade point average. If inexperienced, learning about debate will increase your ' sense of achievement. The times and dates of the first meetings will be posted around campus. Here's to the Wilkes College Debate Union for a good year.

This program enables students who apply for financial aid to work for the college as student-aides. F-inancial Aid Director Richard Raspen, receives calls from department heads as to what jobs are available, how many students are needed and what experience is necess~ry. Raspen then contacts a qualified student for the job. The decision of hiring, however, remains with the department head and the administration. If a student qu,ilifies for financial aid, he automatically is eligible for the work-study program. The federal government pays 80 per cent , of every dollar the student ~ams. "However," Raspen commented "the student must take the initiative to ask for the job. We cannot just place any student in a job - the student must first let us know that he or she is interested in the program." If a student is interested in the program, all he has to do is let Raspen know. The financial aid director will then check out the student's eligibility and, when jobs are available, he will place the student. Raspen also noted that the college has its own work-study program. This program is exactly the same, only it is funded 100 per cent by the college and is intended for students I I J. it not financially eligible to work in the gove~n1!1ent-funded program. .

The pay rate is $1.80 an hour and students last earned a total of $200,370. Debators Form New . Division ' Theadded Wilkesa College Debate to Union has new division the Wilkes forensics program. Under the direction of Bradford L. Kinney, the major expansion is the formulation of an individual events unit. According to Prof. Kinney, the individual events team will consist of those students interested in competition in speaking on the college level other than debate. Areas included in the program will be " Oral Interpretation of Literature,'' " Persuasive Discourse,' ' THE TRANSCE'NDENTAL MEDITATION PROGRAM DEVELOP CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE • Maharishi Mahesh _Yogi FREE PUBLIC LECTURES: Th urs. & Fri.

The organization of this unit will offer an opportunity for Wilkes students to become actively involved in the fast growing forensic program that the college offers. At present, Prof. Kinney states that he has 18 students that will participate in the new program, in addition to those already on the debate squad. Tournaments have been scheduled for the Wilkes individual events unit al such schools as Clarion State College, Bloomsburg State College, University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Massachusetts; This program is open to any undergraduate student.

The committee, chaired by Mrs. Lorna Darte, is set up for the purpose of dealing with extra-curricular activities not dealt with b_y other organizations. Comprising the committee are four deans, eight faculty, representatives from each of the student governing bodies, one BEACON representative, a class officer from each of the classes and two students appointed by the president. The first meeting, today at 11 a.m. in the front board room in Weckesser Hall will be dealing with the topic of library noise and solutions to the problem.

Every place of employment has employee~employer problems and Wilkes College is no exception, as displayed in the resignation of the two infirmary nurses and their unwillingness to meet with the administration a second time to settle their differences. · When looking at the dilemma it appears to be only a minor labor difficulty between the two sides . Wilkes needs the help of the m edical women for 20 days during the. intersession but the nurses chose not to give their services since they claim they had no wr itten contract for the extended service . However . in point of fac t , the nurses' gripe seems to be unwarranted since their previous letters of appointment to the Co llege stated that they are employed by Wilkes from September 1 to June 30, inclusively, in c luding the month of January . , Previously , it was an understanding between Dean Lampe and the nurses, usin g discretion, that the nurses schedu le during January was flexible, because of the semester break . Depending on the work load , the nurses could or could not report for work on the campus . They agreed to remain at home . However, with the new . intersession the work load at the infirmary definitely will be increased. All the administration is asking is that the nurses work the prescribed time of the 10-month agreement. The nurses say the,,ir complaint isn't mainly salary, and we think that is understandable since they have been getting a good deal, moneywise . The infirmary is open 57 hours a week , Swnmer proved enlightening for three members of the "Wilk~s College Family," as they spent five weeks, according to the Student Handbook .

Falling at approximately 15-20 feet per second, to land on a section of bug-infested Georgia terrain, describes the summer exploits of ROTC Cadet Mark Symanowicz. Symanowicz spent three weeks at Fort Benning in hope of becoming a qualified paratrooper in the Air Force. Following four weeks of field training at Plattsburg, N.Y., and intensive study at the southern Air Force Airborne School, Symanowicz made the grade and became the first Wilkes ROTC cadet to complete "jump" school. The junior sociology majorremarked, "The first time I made my jump was a traumatic experience since my parachute malfunctioned when the shroud lines wrapped over the canopy, creating two fabric bubbles instead of one and resulting in my rapid descent. Fortunately the techniques I learned in 'Emergency Procedure' paid off. My reserve parachute obviously worked." Following the initial jump from the C130 cargo plane, Symanowicz successfully completed four more exits from aircraft at 1250 feet. Clad in his Air Force fatigues, he noted, "The biggest discomfort was not from the defective parachute but fro1n the large amount of flies continuously buzzing around my head in the 100 degree heat on the ground. A native of Reading, Symanowicz is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Symanowicz. By Donna M.

Newspapers Magazines Paperbacks �September 18, 1975 Page7 The Beacon By Joe _Dettmore NCAA Grid Playoffs Take on New Twist I CAME BACK-1ndeed, Bill Metzger did come back. After a year away from school and football, he is back challenging for a ,<;tarting offensive line position in the form that earned him all-conference honors in 1973. -Photo By Ra11 Pre by- Nu1nber 72 Is Back Better Than Ever BY PAUL DOMOWITCH Last season, Billy Metzger watched from the stands, as the Colonels rolled to·_ a 7-2 record arid their first Middle Atlantic Conference grid crown since 1969. ON THE OUTSIDE, Metzger smiled and cheered the efforts of his former teammates, but inside he felt deeply frustrated over the fact that he couldn't be out there at his offensive tackle position, blowing open holes for his running backs and protecting his quarterback from a physical pounding. It's a tough thing to sit by and watch helplessly from the sidelines, when you are used to being out there on center stage; especially for Metzger. Only a year prior, he had been named to the all-conference team for his spectacular performance during the 1973 season, and he was looking forward to an even better campaign in '74. But academic difficulties intervened, and the 6'1, 230-pound Metzger was forced into early retirement. NOW, IN 1975, Billy is back better than ever, and working even harder to regain a starting berth on the Colonel offensive forward wall. When he left school in May of 1974, Metzger had figured his collegiate playing days had come to an end. He began working full time with his father, Duncan Metzger who is an electrician, but continued to stay in good physical shape. He ran and lifted weights on a regular basis, played plenty of softball during the summer, and kept his attachment with the grid sport, by playing flag football in the fall. EVEN AS LATE as June of this past summer, Metzger had no intention of enrolling again at Wilkes. But whether it was his desire to finish his college education or the desire to get back into a football uniform, it matters little. What's important to him is that he IS back, and MAC opponents are going to know it soon enough. If there is one thing that he realizes since his return, it's that his past all-MAC credentials are just that-in the past. Metzger is trying to earn a starting berth on the Colonel offensive line, and in order to do that, he's got to beat out one of four returning starters front last year's championship team. That quartet includes guards Len Dalmas and Frank Wengen, and tackles Bob Para and Joe Dettmore. IF ANYTHING,- METZGER'S presence has spurred the quartet onto even greater production. None of them want to be standing on the sidelines for Saturday's opener with Clarion, but il really makes little difference. Schmidt will be shuffling in fresh linemen quite often, so that all of his talented " blocks of granite" will be well rested. One thing is for sure though. When the Colonels do run onto the field Saturday afternoon , big Billy Metzger won't be watching helplessly from the stands. He'll be out there wearing old number 72, and when he pops his first defensive lineman, it will be his way of saying, " I'm back. " The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced recently that the 1975 Division III football playoffs will be expanded to include eight teams this year. THE BEACON LEARNED of this in a phone interview with Denny Pope of the NCAA main office in Kansas City, Missouri earlier this week: The tournament, which originated in 1973, had consisted of a four team format the past two years, but because of staunch support from most of the Division III schools, and the fact that the NCAA's Division II has operated successfully with an eight team playoff system, the change has been made. "We have broken the country into four regions," Pope explained. " North, south, east and west. One On September 21, 1974, the Colonel football team lost their opening day team will be taken from each of game to C.W. Post, 44-6. Wilkes went on to record a 7-2 season and win the these regions, with the other four playoff berths being awarded to Middle Atlantic Conference " Northern Division" championship. teams that our Selection Committee , deems worthy enough." With the exception of the finals, all of the playoff games will be played on participating campuses. This By Paul Domowitch means that competing teams will be playing host to quarterfinal and semi-final contests. The Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl championship game is scheduled for December 6, in Phenix City, Alabama. The lone survivor of that contest will be the They say that things are better the second time around, and nothing NCAA Division III champion. POPE ADDED THAT while no could be truer of our visit to Princeton University last weekend, for the date has been set for team Colonel-Tiger "closed" scrimmage. Closed is supposed to mean not open to selections, the announcement will be the public, but someone forgot to tell the more than 500 people who showed made sometime in mid-November. up to watch. It's a shame, because a lot of Wilkes fans would have made the trip if they had known that they wouldn't be locked out. .

That meant of CO\!_l'se, that Wilkes and Princeton would tangle on QlJI _ the Tiger's practice field, _which is adjacent to the main playing surface.

Almost four weeks of pre-season drilling and conditioning have come to an end, and the Princeton scrimmage is behind them. Saturday afternoon, 66 Colonel gridders will charge onto the Ralston Field turf to the tune of "Fight Team Fight," as so many other Wilkes football teams have done before them. LEADING THEM OUT before the throng of hopeful Blue and Gold followers will be a small, tired looking man with a loosened tie dangling from his neck; and the ever-present blue Wilkes jacket, which has become a part of his enigma, draping his upper torso. That man, small in stature _but not in coaching abiltty is head mentor Rollie Schmidt, and within his passive manner will be hidden the belief that this is· one helluva ballclub following on his heels. He doesn't have to tell his players that. · They know it. But knowing it is not enough. They must now prove it; they must win ball games. The first obstacle will be Saturday's visitor to Ralston Field ; Clarion State College. Clarion is a team that is rebuilding. A year ago, the Golden Eagles reeled off a 6-2-1 record, while finishing second in the tough Pennsylvania State College Conference to Slippery Rock. JIM COSTANZO "Had a Good Scrimmage" . OFFENSIVELY, THEY RANKED among the NCAA Division H's best,· averaging 381 yards a game in total offense. Of those 381, 214 were pounded out on the ground, and 167 were gathered through the airways. Unfortunately for head coach Al Jacks, who is beginning his 13th year at the helm of Clarion, 12 starters from that 6-2-1 unit have since dissipated, and he is left with a rebuilding job you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. Only halfback Larry Wilson, a 5-5, 160 pound speedster returns to carry the brunt of the Clarion running attack, while senior Tim Dutrow, who threw only 42 passes in 1974, will take over as the Golden Eagles field general. ., Clarion will operate offensively out of a " Delaware Wing-T," and must establish some type of running game against the Colonels to be successful. It will be up to the Wilkes defense to dissuade them from doing just that. IN THE PRINCETON scrimmage fast Saturday, running was not one of the Ivy League teams more successful endeavors, thanks to the tremendous play of the likes of Don Kulick, Tom Bradshaw, Lou Maczuga, Jim Costanzo, Charlie Crawford, and Chris O'Brien. Costanzo, who is battling Crawford for one of the tackle positions, had a fine afternoon against the Tigers. Defensively, Clarion operates from what looks like a 5-2-4, utilizing a middle guard on the nose of the center. In this case, it will be sophomore Kenny Sickler's nose he wiH be lining up on. Three of their five defensive linemen are returning starters, while with the exception of two experienced cornerbacks, their pass defense is untested and inexperienced. Ironically, while the offense w.as averaging 381 yards a game last season, the defense was allowing almost that to the opposition. GRID GRIT : Rodney Smith did not make the trip down to Princeton Saturday, because of a nagging ankle injury. It's . nothing serious, but it's kept him from working out, and if it doesn't mend soon, sophomore Ed Murray may get the starting nod Saturday. Murray ran for several big gainers against Princeton ... who will be the starting quarterback Saturday? Ini-mini-myni-mo-Snyder. Defensive halfbacks Fred Marianacci and Dave Trethaway need five interceptions apiece to tie the Wilkes career record for aerial thefts which was set by none other than Joe Wendl during the years 1965 through 1968. _ Tom 'Terrific' A Born Leader where the scoring was handled by one or , two individuals. Tom likes this year's setup much better. "I LIKE TO play a running and passing style of soccer. I like to play team soccer · instead of looking for a certain person to pass to all the time. " . It looks like a promising season for the team if Tom's expectations are upheld. Knowing the type of desire that Tom has, _ we're sure that success is close at hand. BY DAVE ORISCHAK The key to any good team is a strong nucleus and Tom Trost is providing just that as captain of this year 's Colonel soccer team. HIS SOLID ABILITY, leadership, and optimism are all traits which Coach Eaton will use to the full benefit of the team. Tom's ability is the resulfof eight years of soccer. experience. His career started during his freshman year of high school and was highlighted two years ago when he accompanied the Wilkes team to the ECAC tournament. Tom has also gained valuable experience during his summers when he plays in ·various leagues around the Philadelphia area. Leadership is something which seems to come naturally to Tom. Not only is he a leader on the field, but he carries his leadership with him off the field as welL Thts can clearly be seen as he carries out his daily activities as the resident assistant of Slocum Hall, one of the men's . dormitories on the campus. In general, Tom is a guy, who is both respected and admired by his fellow players and this is an important quality for a captain to.have. TOM IS LOOKING optimistically at the upcoming season. "I think that we Harriers Enjoy Finest Hour At Invitational TOM 'TERRIFIC' ''A Leader All The Way" definitely have a chance at the title this year. We have a lot of good talent but more importantly we're playing as a team. I'd even rate us above the team that went to the ECAC tournament two years ago." According to Tom, the scoring this year will be done by a variety of people. This will come as a contrast to last year's team Coach George Pawlush took a line from the great Winston Churchill last Saturday afternoon, when he was heard saying in a less subdued manner than Winnie, "this is our finest hour." THE COLONEL - CROS~COUNTRY team had not stifled a German attack; nor had they rode victorious into Berlin. Rather, they finished sixth out of fourteen teams in the Lebanon Valley Invitational meet, and for Pawlush and his team, that was definitely a reason for rejoicing. "I am really happy about our team's performance," Pawlush said. "It's the most optimistic sign in our cross-country program in five years." And optimistic it was, as sophomore club team earlier in the week, and the head Paul Boris captured third place amonp ll8 mentor was optimistic over her team's runners on the 4.8 mile course, with a tiin..: early season form.

EXPECTED TO COMPETE for the first time on the "old timers" squad are Ellen Schwartz, Angela Centrella, and Marivita Saleski, three of the standouts on last season's Northeastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Ath,letic Association championship team. For mos.t of the alumni and upperclassmen on the Colonelettes, the game holds less significance than the post-game reunion, where old friends can once again get together and talk about the past, the present and the future . For many of the freshmen and sophoi;nores, Saturday is an opportunity for them to meet many of the great players from the past that they have only heard about from the older girls. It's an opportunity to play against the likes of Donna Doncses, Stephanie Umbach and Lorraine Mancuso. ALUMNI GAMES ARE like no other a team will play during the season. The outcome is meaningless, but the blanket of memories and emotion that will cover the field on Saturday morning is very much meaningful. And for a few brief hours, the past and the present come together as one. Once Saturday comes to a close however, the Colonelettes must return to the here and now and put all their concentration into winning their second straight NPWIAA crown. They opened their conference calendar yesterday afternoon, when they traveled up Interstate 81 to tackle the University of Scranton. This is Scranton's first season ·in the NPWIAA field hockey _league.

A spirited Dave Gregrow went that route for the whole summer as he heard of the chance to find summer work from a friend. So, logically enough, he dug in. _He recalls: "One day we-hit somethmg that resembled a piece of wood," pausing for a cough, he talks mor~, "It was like sawdust and water, it grossed me right out. You never sa_w anyone jump out of a whole so fast m your life." Things were much cahner than that. He described that "one time we had to plant a wife.,.between the husband and the son. The husband was fresh, (he died in 1973). But excavating difficulties arose. The gravediggers union had in their possession a powerful backhoe to make things a bit easier. Due to the increased skill of the backhoe .I_, , r operator, _ the husband's concrete vault cracked." At this time in the interview, a glass of water was ordered, and after everyone took a sip, Gregrow said: "It smelled ten times worse than a dead woodchuck." Again there were finer moments like the time Dave and his cohorts were so excited that they jumped into the already-dug plot and cracked the future security of a small lad. Dave said he could never figure why the cemetery management perferred to list the cause .of death with an explanation like, "the deceased was never fatally ill before."

The newly constructed service area in the Commons was designed in order to "hasten service and allow expansion of the menu items," according to William Denion, food service manager. This area operates as a snack bar, serving a variety of foods, ranging from sandwiches of all kinds to desserts. In the picture above, Sophie Bohinski, Commons manager, is shown in her usual place behind the counter, and in line from left to right ar~ Mr. Denion and seniors Mary Lou Gottlieb ~d Jim Morgan. . A number of sell-service items, notably beverages, allow for faster service. The menu now mcludes more "hot foods," salad platters and desserts, with pizza being a possible future addition. According to Mr. Denion, the redesigned service area is now "the major hub of operation throughout the day." The front counter is now a supplementary area, providing such items as sandwiches and ice cream. The physical changes in the building include the installation of a new sprinkler system, emergency lighting and a redesigned staircase. Because of the improved stairway design, it is now possible to exit the building directly from the second floor, eliminating possible congestion on the main floor in case of an emergency. . The services of the Commons are available to all college personnel Monday through Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, 7 p.m. to midnight. . . During the day it is a popular place to eat, relax and socialize between classes. A game room on the second floor is equipped with ping-pong tables, pin-ball machines and a television set.

He bet .$20 that 500 tickets would not be purchased by Wilkes students prior to the concert. Members of the SG unanimously agreed to the bet. Dr. Alfred Groh has refused Student Government permission to use the CPA for their film series. Dean B. stated that Dr. Groh complained of SG not showing responsibility in using the theat.er. The SUB is being used as a replacement and it was reported that it is working out well.

It was emphasized: that SG is absorbing $10.30 of the cost per couple for the Homecoming Dinner Dance. The tickets will go on sale next week in the bookstore and the cost is $20 per couple.

From left to right, the unsung heroes are: Gayl Donaleski, Dianne Mital and Doris Swoboda. Absent at the time was Elaine Simmons. . Unseen Switchboard Operators .Encounter Unusual Experiences· By Joseph Buckley " Uood afternoon, Wilkes College .. May I help you? ... One moment please." These familiar words are heard every day by all those who contact the college switchboard. Not only are they unsung heroes but the switchboard operators are also unseen and unknown. "Not very many people know we're up here," said Dianne Mital referring to the small cubicle on the second floor of Chase Hall where the switchboard is located. " Nobody knows who we are," she continued. " They never see us and they don't really get to know us." Dianne, a senior majoring in elementary education, has worked part-time at the switchboard for two years. She said some people "sort of take us for granted, because they don't realize how busy we can get. " Another part-time operator is Gayl Donaleski, who was trained for the job during the summer. " I enjoy it," she said. "It's really interesting." Citing the large number of people using the phones, she said "You can get to know some of the people. Then, they're not just voices." Both Gayl and Dianne said the job is good training experience. They said they can always fall back on it and get a good job. · Doris Swoboda, one of two full-time switchboard operators, came to Wilkes six weeks ago. But she said "I've done telephone work all my life." She worked at the Sterling Hotel's switchboard for 27 years before an automatic system was installed. She said working in such a small place doesn't bother her because "the last place . was smaller than this." About her first six weeks at Wilkes, Doris said "So far it has been pretty safe and normal. I just like talking to people and being able to help." Asked if there were any humorous calls, Gayl said she once received a call from a child who wanted to "speak to my daddy." The child wouldn't give his father's name or department, so Gayl began to read the entire list of faculty members to the child until he finally admitted which one was his father. Dianne said she used to receive requests for songs when WILK Radio's phone numberwassimilartothatofWilkes Once again, many college seniors across the nation are applying for graduate study with the same fervor displayed years earlier as high school seniors applying for college. And again, there are the headaches of application fees, admittance tests and test fees. As high school seniors, many were faced with the SATs and their costs. Now, the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE ) rise out of Princeton, N.J., with their $10.50 price tag. This fall however the Educational Testing Service (ETS ), will again offer fe~ waivers' for the GRE to qualified applicants. ETS has been doing this for several years, since it was found that fees for tests like this actually discouraged many from applying for graduate school. _ ETS felt that waiving the fee for the GRE would at least eliminate one of these annoying costs that beset the grad school applicant. . So, each fall; they provide ten thousand fee waivers across the nation to the first ten thousand qualified applicants, thus making promptness and quick action one of the first limitations. What are the other li~itations that fur ther distinguish a qualified applicant? Mr. Richard Raspen, Wilkes College financial aid officer, said that there are only two qualifications . First, the GRE applicant must receive financial aid from the institution itself, in this case, Wilkes Cgllege. The second qualification, nowever, is the most important factor in determining eligibility. The parental contribution to the student's educational costs, as determined by the College Scholarship Service from the Parents' Confidential Statement, must be zero. In short, the GRE applicant must not be receiving aid from his parents as stated on his Parent Confidential Statement. These two qualifications, plus the limited availability of the fee waivers, are all that determine eligibility . To apply for a fee waiver, then, the student must be a senior who will be taking the GRE ( only the GRE ) and must meet the financial qualifications above . If qualified, or unsure if eligible, the student may simply go to Mr. Raspen's office, where it will be determined if the student is eligible for the fee waiver. If eligible, a certificate will be filled out, which automatically grants the fee waiver. This certificate will then be good for either the $10.50 GRE Aptitude test fee or the $10.50 GRE Advanced test fee, or the $21.00 combined fee for both. . Mr. Raspen stresses that the waiver is good only for the Graduate Record Examinations, and no other tests. Promptness and quick action are going to be necessary, however, since Mr. Raspen has only 14 more · certificates left. Once these 14 are gone, he can't grant any more fee waivers, no matter how qualified the student. For fast and qualified students, this is relief for one of the headaches of applying to gradµate school. College. Elaine Simmons, the second full-time member of the switchboard team, has been working at Wilkes for approximately two years. She was unavailable at the time of the interview but Doris, Gayl and Dianne agreed that " Elaine is a very competent switchboard operator." James Berg, professor of history, recently designed a rearrangement of the college's telephone system. He.--....~ - - - - -.... . , ~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - assigned neyv extension numbers and gave specific sequences to the • different departments. The installation of the new system was difficult for the switchboard operators, according to Berg, because they could not get a day to day update of the new numbers. Dianne said the system " makes it a lot easier for us" because the board lists the sequences of extensions all in a row. The four switchboard operatorsDoris, Elaine, Gayl and Dianne-do a fine job and deserve a great deal of appreciation. They are four definite assets to Wilkes College.

The Manuscript," the college's annual llterar.y magazine. ' Now a chance is being offered for the school's "young Herruningways" to profit from their talents. The "World of Poetry," a monthly newsletter for poets, has announced a contest featuring a cash first prize of $1500. Second prize in this competition is $500, and 49 other prizes will also be awarded. According to contest director Joseph Mellon, "We are encouragi!}g poetic talent of every kind, and expect our contest to produce exciting discoveries." One thing Wilkes certainly has to offer is talent of every kind. Rules and official entry forms are available by writing to: World of Poetry, 801 Portola Drive, Dept. 211, San Francisco, Cal., 94127. Contest closes November 30, 1975. MICE (continued from page 1.) ~ By Marianne Montague 'The Letter' The other day while picking up litter on the third floor of Stark (I was trying to impress Dr. Reif) I stumbled across this piece of paper. It was written neatly and not scribbled so I knew it wasn 't somebody'.s chem notes. I thought I'd better take it with me and see if I could find its owner. It turned out to be a letter from some dorm kid to his mother. I couldn't find the writer's last name so I thought I'd print it here in my column. If this is your letter and you want it back, look for me any time on the third floor of the library, ( this week I'm trying to impress my English profs). Anyway here's the letter. Dear Mom, This is your favorite ( and only) son writing to you from Wilkes College or as we lovingly refer to it - "Stalag 18703." Things here are terrific as usual. Rumor has it that I may get the award for the "Most Outstanding Student" because I've been outstanding in line for the bathroom more times than anybody else. I've decided to change my major to Phys Ed. They really don't offer it as a major here but I figure if I take Volleyball for the third time and Co-Ed Social Dancing for the four'th time I should have enough credits to get some kind of degree. Please don't send any more money. I have plenty to pay for my suite of rooms in the Sterling Hotel and my townhouse in Oakwood Park. Also I'm sending James, the butler, home. He annoys my roommate, Bill. James keeps picking Bill's clothes up off the floor and Bill likes to have his clothes all around so he can keep inventory of what he has. I met seven really nice girls who I'd like to bring home to meet you. Of course none of them are good enough for me but I thought I'd cut them a break and go out with them. . We even have live entertainment around here. Last week they told me some guy with a patch over his eye was gonna speak at the gym. I got all excited because I thought it was Captain Hook and I could ask him if he ever caught up with Peter Pan. But it must have been one of those guys who had a sex change because they said his name was "Mushy Diane." He was from Egypt or Israel-' one of those countrie~ - it doesn't really matter, they're all alike. I really miss Choo Choo, my puppy. Bill and I have a hamster but it's not the same. I'm having a heck of a time trying to teach it to fetch my slippers. Well, I gotta get going. A bunch of us guys are gonna go throw rotten tomatoes on the porches of the profs that flunked us last semester. Your son, There are three basic theories on how the mice got inside Stark Learning Center. The most o~v~ous theory that the mice are fugitives from the Biology or Psychology departments-has been ruled out by faculty from the two departments and by several eyewitnesses.

Soccer, the oldest and most popular game in the world, has been fighting an .American identity cris is probably ever since the first few decades of immigrants were seen juggling a spotted ball up and down the street. EVEN THOUGH IT is Henry Kissinger's favorite game , soccer is just about as rare in Wyoming Valley as a good old Buffalo nickel. Why? Who knows. But you can bet · that it has something to do with exposure. How many people around ever witnessed a first class soccer game or traveled to a World Cup game? The only high school in this area that hassoccer is Wyoming Seminary. But a few years back, 1949 to be exact, a crystalballer by the name of Bob Partridge initiated the sport at Wilkes College. Somebody said that he and his Colonel team went 0-28 before they saw a victory. But now in 1975, soccer - from the pro ranks to the pee wees, seems to be catching fire across the country. The North American Soccer League now has some 20 team franchises, with one as close as Philadelphia, and the greatest player in the ·world, Pele. Athletic budgets at colleges and even high schools are so tight, right now, that sports which eat away at a budget such as football, are being dropped from BAVITZQUIZ 1.

Name the two third basemen who combined to lead the National League in walks seven times between 1961-1968. The soccer movement in the United States has been moving at a slow tortoise-like pace since it was introduced centuries ago. But the appearance of Pele onto the American scene, and the nourishment of homegrown players has given the sport its biggest lift in quite some time. financially troubled institutions. As they give the boot to football, it even makes more sense to have soccer arrive on the scene. Says Wilkes head soccer coach Chip Eaton: "Soccer is the most economic sport to play." Eaton said that he didn't know why school boards locally don't investigate the proposition of putting soccer into the athletic program. This summer Eaton ran a soccer clinic for the localities and claims it was a--great success. He stated that there are enough knowledgeable soccer people in the valley and that public relation is the The Colonels cross-country team has developed a unique problem as they open their 1975 dual season tomorrow afternoon against Madison FDU.

Post . . . if that offense Clarion operated out of Saturday looked familiar , but you,couldn't quite place where you have seen it, try NOTRE DAME. Retired coach Ara Parseghian first inserted the Wing-T about five years ago, and new mentor Dan Devine has kept it. It's based on misdirection, and if a defense isn't prepared for it, they're in for a long afternoon . .. DAVE TRETHA WAY upped his career interception total to 11 in the Clarion contest. He's four away from tying Joe Wiendl's mark ... one bright spot in the Colonel's play Saturday was the play of linebacker STEVE LESKIW. Winky roamed from sideline to sideline making 16 tackles, and getting an assist on six others. He is quite a ballplayer .. . Punter DON McDERMOTT also had a fine afternoon, averaging 39.7 yards on a total of 10 boots. He had two that traveled more than 55 yards in the air, only to have both of them returned for good yardage. He had excellent hang time on each, and it was just a matter of poor coverage by his teammates. Intramural Football (continued from page 8) Bruce Davis and H.R. Haldeman will strengthen Dennison's offense. They will be complimented in the backfield by speedster John Pinelli. The defensive chores for Dennison will be handled by Gimp Gorton and Buffalo Wasmanski. Wide receiver Jay Lemoncelli will be the catalyst of this year's team. Coming out of retirement, Jay will be an indomitable asset to the team. The Rams have also made a number of key trades this past winter. They acquired defensive standouts Jim Stehle and Neil Bavitz · which should bolster an already awesome unit.

They are good enough to the point that a .500 season for the first time in the sport's history at Wilkes, is very possible. They have runners like Mark Zavoy, Paul Boris, Mike Salley, Jeff Davis, Steve Standiford, and Jeff Metzger. And they have Mary Kay as well. But that 's where it ends-a t seven runners. A few more unexpected injuries like Zavoy's slightly aggravated hamstring that he pulled in practice this week, and the Colonels are left holding· the bag. Pawlush has issued an open invitation to anyone interested in becoming part of the team. He is quick to point out that a year round track and physical training program are now available for his runners in conjunction with the Wyomipg Valley Striders, the running facilities in the area are improving every day, and more importantly, you can help the 1975 Colonel cross-country team become the best in Wilkes history.

The North American Soccer League now has a mandatory rule that each team must carry a certain number of American born players. This insures that the sport, on the American scene, will not become flooded with foreign players. They figure that for the most part, no one wants to go see a person they do not know. Americans somehow have this hang-up about soccer not being their game and until this notion dissolves, soccer won't be considered as American as the hot dog and apple pie. American born players, who have attracted headlines and a tip of the hat from coaches, are collegiate bred Kyle Rote Jr. and Bobby Rigby. The latter incidentally, played goalkeeper for East Stroudsburg State and was the only man at the time better than Wilkes' Chip Eaton in the late 60's and early 70's. ' Rote and Rigby are firmly established professionals now, and have led the way for other great American college players to follow. ' BUT IT COMES back to the theory that you have to start young in order to be successful, or to have a well developed program. And when Americans start young, they start with either a football, baseball, or basketball - in their hands. They develop a smooth eye-to-hand contact. While they are doing this, their European counterparts are kicking anything and everything that comes in front of them. In this area anyway, if people will begin to notice soccer · via weekly national television, and the local press realizes that the number of Americans playing the game has quadrupled and recognize it as a sport not as a hobby, then you might have something. Tennis, locally, was a back door sport a while ago. But increased TV coverage, and public interest has made it so that tennis and tennis courts are flourishing in good number. So the same can happen here for soccer, if the desire is there. �The Beacon Page s September 25, 1975 ••• ACON SPORTS Lycoming No Pushover For ColonelGridders BY PAUL DOMOWITCH previous offensive showings, Satur- out of the Albright tilt, but Lycoming It was the opening game for both day could end up in a 0-0 :!2adlock. sources claim he'll be back to 100 teams, which meant of course that Junior signal caller John Johnson percent by gametime Saturday, and neither Clarion nor Wilkes had an will direct Lycoming out of their will start against the Colonels. opportunity to scout each other prior pro-type offense, with hard running GRID GRIT : The Wilkes-Ly-. to Saturday's clash. fullback Bob Weber and tailback coming encounter will be the sixth As the Colonels put their offense to Phil Belino tacking him up. _ _ annual Fez Bowl...there were no work, the visitors saw nothing new Coach Bob- Girardi's club has serious injuries to any _of the in coach Rollie Schmidt's attack stayed mainly with a running attack Colonels as a result of the Clarion plan.

Had the levies along the river been breached or overtopped, damage to Wilkes' buildings and facilities would have been substantial, since student property also was on the campus. President Robert S. Capin had his hands full during the weekend as he spearheaded the flood precautions on the campus. The first detailed information about the condition of the Susquehanna River iast Friday Was supplied by Andrew Shaw, assistant to the president for management. Finding the river unusually high on his way to the college that morning, Shaw headed for civil defense headquarters at the county courthouse, under the direction of President Capin. "It's automatic for me to go to civil defense if the river is higher than normal," Shaw noted. He added that the college has a "special relationship" with the civil defense organization, owing in part to Wilkes training programs for CD workers. Emergency Meeting Held Shaw conveyed the information to other college administrators at an 8:30 a .m. emergency meeting. "As soon as we learned that there might be trouble with the river, we Dorms Empty Almost three out of every four Wilkes dorm students were evacuated during the flood emergency last Friday and Saturday.

When Miss Pedersen first came to Wilkes-Barre from Colorado she was faced with the task of rebuilding a group that lacked interest and enthusiasm but went on to form a new, exciting and above all more musical association. The chorus will hold concerts this year as it did in past years but with even more changes. The "new look" for the group this year is Bicentennial colors, including new tops for the men and women. The chorus is open to any Wilkes student who likes to sing and Miss Pedersen is encouraging all students to join. This year for the first time Wilkes College will experience a new musical group along with the regular chorus, the Wilkes Choir, featuring individuals with outstanding vocal ability and interest. Five concerts are scheduled for the choir, including two with the band during "Appreciation Night." However, this chorus will be seen and heard at many special events such as the dedication of Stark Learning Center on Saturday, October 11. Diamonds ½ Price Other activities include a recording session of Christmas music at the WDAU television studio and participation in the Spring Fine Arts Fiesta. Also local members of the High School District Chorus will be feted at Wilkes as the college choir conducts a "Read-Thru," on Saturday, December 6 to help the high school group read and perform music for the concerts. During the Spring break Miss Pedersen has planned a tour for the 34-member Concert Choir to local colleges, high schools, and other places to be announced. If you never have attended a Wilkes College Music Department concert, this year is the perfect time to start making it a regular part of your entertainment schedule. All concerts are free and are held in the Center for the Performing Arts. The concerts will be the result of much hard work and planning by Miss Pedersen and will be some of the best sounds ever heard at Wilkes.

When reporting of an affair, meeting, concert or any other event, always give complete details regarding admission fees, decora- tions, entertainment, refreshments, orchestra, and other pertinent facts. The most important information is the time, day, date, and location of the event involved.

The football game between Wilkes and Lycoming, which was postponed Saturday, has been rescheduled for November 22, so the Colonels will go into this weekend's away tilt versus Bloomsburg, with a two-week layoff. Coach George. Pawlush's crosscountry team once again attempted to open their 1975 dual season on Tuesday, when they traveled to New Jersey to take on Madison FDU. The meet was a rescheduling of an earlier postponement between the two institutions. The harriers will be away tomorrow afternoon also, opposing Baptist Bible College in Scranton. With the rains causing cancellations of the soccer team's contests with Baptist Bible and Bloomsburg, coach Chip Eaton's club will once again attempt to even their record at 1-1, when they travel to Williamsport Saturday to oppose Lycoming. .BASEBALL TRYOUTS C • Page7 With almost two weeks r'e mittance from actual competition, the field hockey team traveled to Easton Tuesday for a contest against powerful Lafyette College. A win by the Colonelettes would have kept their perfect record in tact going into this afternoon's battle with Kutztown State College on the Wittenberg First In Football Poll The first weekly rankings of NCAA Division III football teams were released last Friday, and as expected, Wittenberg College (Ohio) is holding down the number one slot. The 1973 national champions are fresh off an upset victory over Division II powerhouse Delaware University, and the Tigers appear to be the team to beat in 1975. FOLLOWING CWSELY ON their tail however, is number two ranked Ithaca College (New York), who has posted impressive victories over St. Lawrence, Albany State, and Cortland State. The Blue Bombers were the Division III runnerups in 1974, when they lost to Central CJ llege of Iowa in the championship game. Holding down the number three position in the poll of NCAA committee members is Shippensberg State of the tough Pennsylvania State College conference, followed very closely by Redlands. A suprise entry in the top ten this week is Franklin & Marshall, who are the favorite to win the Middle Atlantic Conference "Southern Division" crown for a record fifth year in a row. Rounding out the top ten this week are Baldwin-Wallace, Evansville, C.W. Post, Winona State, and last year's champions, Central of Iowa. THE WILKES COLONELS did not receive mention in the rankings this week, but it is expected that their performance during the next three weeks could change all that. Wilkes will tangle with second ranked Ithaca on October 18, up .in New York State in a kev matchup.

The Wilkes College football team was never aware that their biggest competition this season would be a raging woman named Eloise. But that angry female almost desimated the Colonels to the point that the 1975 grid campaign would have read like this : record-0-1; season opened September 20, vs. Clarion State and season closed September 20 vs. Clarion State. BUT ELOISE STOPPED short of the goaline, as it were, and the "year of great expectations" wlll resume, after a brief delay this weekend, when the Blue and Gold travel to Redman Stadium on the campus of Bloomsburg State College to take on the BSC Huskies. It's been 20 years since these two institutions have battled on the gridiron, with the series abruptly terminated back in 1955 because of some bad blood between the schools. But all is well now and the series could develop into a fierce, but friendly rivalry ... in the near future. While Bloom holds a 7-1 edge in the series, they are coming off a disappointing 1-7-1 season, and the immediate future does not appear promising. COACH BILL SPROULE, . who is in his fifth year as head mentor of the Huskies, welcomed back some 30 odd lettermen when fall practices began in August, but the number has since dwindled, and the remaining veterans were not very impressive in their team's 41-0 shellacking at the hands of Shippensburg. Granted, Shippensberg is a good football team blJt Sproule's offense managed only 81 yards against them, while the defense gave up a whopping 423. And Shippensberg is good, but not that good. Game number two showed very little improvement as well, although they did manage to edge Lock Haven State 9-8. A week earlier, Lycoming College walked all over Lock Haven, beating them in a breeze, 23-0. BLOOM'S RUSHING GAME has been almost non-existant in the early going, with the team's two leading ball carriers, John McCauley and Scott F rasso netting only 115 yards between them. Huskie quarterback Ken Zipko has thrown the ball very sparingly, completing only three of 11 tosses, but those three aerials have racked up 120 yards and the team's lone score on the year. Looking at Saturday's game purely objectively and from the point of talent, Wilkes is certainly a solid favorite. But the performance of the Colonel offense against Clarion two weeks ago, makes one wonder when the Colonels are going to snap out of it. They've got Powerful Ithaca and Albright waiting for them in a couple of weeks, and a defense, no matter how strong it is, can't be expected to pull them out of every game. GRID GRIT : The rescheduling of the Lycoming game for November 22, immediately brings a thought to mind. The opening round of the NCAA Division III playoffs are scheduled for that same afternoon. What happens if the Colonels are selected to play, (assuming that the Lycoming game must be played because of its direct bearing on the Middle Atlantic Confe'rence " Northern Division" championship )? ... there have been a few upsets in the opening weeks of MAC play. Upsala beat Susquehanna, 7-3, and Albright walked over J uniata last weekend ... Bloomsburg also postponed their game last week against Mansfield, because of the prevalent flood conditions. DOMOWITCH Grid Mentor Concerned Over Two- Week Layoff BY PAUL DOMOWITCH An angry swelling river churned fear into the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Northeastern Pennsylvania citizens this past weekend, when the water of the Susquehanna came within one foot of causing a re-occurrance of that fateful Friday in J une of 1972. It gave this area, which became known as " the valley with a heart" during the last flood, some tense moments, as much of the population prayed to God that their homes would be spared the vengeance of the rampaging river . Rollie Schmidt was not one of . those who worried about the per. sonal damage another flood would ' inflict, because he lives in the safe confines of Hudson, which is on high ground .. But the 41- year - old Blue and Gold football · coach looked to the heavens for yet another reason. Schmidt got mentally worked up for the 1975 SCHMIDT football season, after his club won · the Middle Atlantic Conference crown a year ago. With almost the entire team coming back in tact, there was no telling how far this club would go in 1975. And for Schmidt, that brings back memories. During the late sixties, when Wilkes reeled off 32 wins in a row 'and won two Lambert Bowls, Schmidt and· his teams were the talk of the nation. National . magazines and newspapers such as "Sports Illustrated" ·and the New York Daily News wrote them up, and the attention bestowed on them seemed limitless. SCHMIDT WAS A king among coaching kings then, and if he had wanted to, he could have taken one of many coaching offers at a larger· school, where football ranks above academics. But he didn 't. The Wilkes bug had bitten him, and he was hooked for life . So understandably, Schmidt's concen- tration Friday . was on what the consequences of a flood would do to the 1975 football season. " It was a little selfish of me," h~ admits, " to hope we wouldn't have a problem in our area because of how it would affect the season, but these kids have worked hard, and although I ·really don't know ·at this stage of the game just how good we are, I do know we 're a · competitive ball club, and will give anybody a fight. " While Schmidt is high on his team, the cancellation of the Lycoming game last weekend means that the Colonels go into Saturday's game against Bloom with a two week layoff, and that can kill a competitive edge. "YOU'RE ALWA.YS WORKING toward the weekend during the season, " Schmidt explained, " and because of the rain and threat of a flood we were idle, and I really don 't know how that will affect them." He was optimistic however. "The kids were pretty good. They came over Friday even though they knew there would be no practice, and a good many of them were ·here Saturday, if the flood was no threat to their homes. Sunday, almost everyone was back, and we had a very good practice'. Surprisingly, they're holding that competitive edge, and I just hope they can keep it until Saturday's game." So, the threat of a flood has diminished, and Schmidt and company can get down to tackling other problems; the immediate one being Bloomsburg State College. With the natural forces being contained for at least a short while, Schmidt can rest at ease, that the 1975 season will have both a beginning and an end. As to what kind of end that will be, only time will tell .. WRATH OF AGNES-Last weekend's near disaster brought hack memories of the damage ~ause~ by Hurricane Agnes during the 1972 flood. In the top left photo, Sports Information Director George Pawlush and tennis coach Tom Rokita look in awe at • what were once the sturdy bleachers of Ralston Field. The top right photo shows Rollie Schmidt beginning the difficult task of repairing the mud-wrought turf, where his football team would be forced to play on in two short months. And finally, the bottom photo shows some of the workers, as they begin repair work on what is now the Bobby McBride Memorial Fieldhouse. It was a terrible disaster, and last weekend the well-hidden scars of Agnes were almost ripped up once again. Rams Open Grid Season This Afternoon It was a rainy, but exciting opening day for intramural football last Thursday. The matchup featured Butler against Dirksen, and although Butler was favored in this contest, the Iero brothers teamed up to turn the tide in favor of Dirksen. The first touchdown was scored by ·Butler on a Kresky to Kapinsky aerial. However, the Iero brothers countered with a 45-yard touchdown pass of their own. Butler missed their point after touchdown, leaving the score at 8-6 in favor of Dirksen at the end of the half. Butler seemed to have the game won when they tallied seven points on Kresky's run with only two minutes to play in the game. However, with 1:45 left the Iero brothers te.amed up again with a 65-yard touchdown pass. This made the score 14-13 in favor of Dirksen. Dirksen added a final tally on a Dave Gregrow run as time• ran out. The final score was Dirsen 20, Butler 13. · This afternoon, the powerful Rams will take on the Vet's club in the- opener for both teams. Coming off a third place finisli last season, the Rams will be strong and confident and will be a solid favorite against the Vets. On Mohday, Butler will be meeting the Diaz Destroyers. In their first game, Butler looked a little shaky as a result of inexperience. Diaz is also a team lacking experience and this game will probably go to the team who has _gained some sort of (continued on page 7) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Farley, son of the first president of Wilkes College - who will be playing a major role in the Convocation and Dedication of the Stark Learning Center on Saturqay morning, October 11, in the courtyard of the new facility. Dr. Farley Jr. grew up on the Wilkes College campus and was a close friend and · acquaintance of almost all of the students who attended the institution during its early days as Bucknell Junior College. Living on the campus, the young Gene Farley had a first-hand account through his father of the problems that were involved in the building of the two-year institution into a four-year liberal arts college. He watched with pride, as did the other members of the Farley family, as the institution received its charter in 1947 as an independent college. A graduate of Swarthmore College, Dr. Farley went on to medical school and became interested in the practice of "family medicine." This interest developed and he became totally involved in the family medicine concept. He is currently holding the key position of t,·1111li1111nl otl p../) MacArthur Tribute A native of this region who is credited with being one of the wealthiest men in America will play a major role in the Convocation and Dedication of the $7-million Stark Learning Center and William B. Schaeffer Lecture Hall on Saturday, October 11, at 10 a.m. on the Wilkes College campus. John D. MacArthur, who at one time lived · with his family in Dunmore and West Pittston, has been recognized nationally as one of the richest individuals by virtue of wealth accumulated over decades, with some claiming his assets in excess of $900-million. MacArthur, who now resides in Lake Park, Fla., where he conducts many of the businesses included in his vast financial empire, will be awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science Degree by Wilkes College as part of the ceremony next Saturday. The former resident, who parlayed a $1,500 loan to become the sole owner and stockholder of Bankers Life and Casualty Co., Chicago, is being recognized and honored by Wilkes College for .his accomplishments in the world of business and finance. Acting President Robert S.

Popularity of Physics Rising in Learning Center By Dotty Martin The Physics Department, located on the first floor of the new Stark ~arning Center, is another department which has benefited with the construction of the building. Courses have been revised and new equipment has been added. The electronics course, a very popular course among students, has been revised and is now oriented toward application and measurement. The course used to be a one semester course intended for · physics and chemistry majors only, but now extends over two semesters with one of them oriented toward biology, life science, and behavioral science. Dr. Francis Donahoe, chairman of the Physics Department, says the electronics course "may become too popular." The course is designed to teach how to build certain things by actually doing it, but if it does become too po ular. the course ~ ' I . won't be able to be carried out properly. The electronics program is offered in the fall for physics majors and again in the spring for med-tech majors, but is also elected by various science majors. Equipment such as timing devices, counting devices, and signal generating devices has been purchased for measuring purposes. Dr. Donahoe says that the reason fo~ new and bette~ equipment is that thmgs are gettmg cheaper. He explained, "When ball point pens first cam~ out, -t?ey sold for about $20. But it wasn t long after that, they were only_ $.40. When calculators were first put on the market they sold for several hundred dollars and now you can buy a fairly good one for under $10." The new equipment allows ekpe~iments in ·the physics department to be done in a more sophisticated and more accurate "In the building of a complex such as this we have to look into the future, maybe thirty years into the future," commented Dr. Robert Riley, chairman of the department. Rooms, such as his " baby," the observation room, will be used in the future if Wilkes is ever to develop a graduate program in the field. The room, temporarily Dr. Riley's office, contains a two-way mirror as does another room used in the observation of behavior. This new, "well used" department with its labs research rooms and "ultra mode~n" facilities is adcording to Dr. Riley and the other professors in the department, perhaps "the best undergraduate complex in the country." , I erroneously subscribed to the BEACON may retrieve th e $4 subscription fee by bringing his cancelled check to the BEACON office , Sh awnee Hall , during office hours .

Nejib, professor of engineering. He said there was "no question" that the engineering field was helped by the construction of the SLC. When Dr. Nejib came to Wilkes in 1966, there was no engineering department and no engineering degrees were offered. Instead, thete was only ~ two year engineering program within the physics department. Dr. Nejib said he returned to Wilkes after a two year leave of absence because he was informed by Dr. Michelini that there would be an engineering department when the learning center was built. Quality education was another reason for the creation of the SLC. Quality education, especially in engineering, "lies on three pres mises," according to Dr. Ne jib. They are : "a.competent faculty, the right curriculum and the right facilities.

Attesting to the fine reputation of the department is the fact that it is approved by the American Chemical ~~~!~~~~he professional training going for them. " First, he said, it is dynamic and, therefore, it will be good for the late 1970's and the 1980's. Second, since engineering graduates of Wilkes will be judged on what,they gain, they have some of Dr. Umid R. Nejib the best equipment available to help them. According to Dr. Nejib, "Much of . our equipment is custom built. Some _large schools don't have what we • have in undergraduate engineering facilities." By-WflmaHurst Science does much to increase mans' understanding of the world around him, and chemistry makes some great contributions to that understanding. It can explain the theory behind many laws of nature, and can find ways to put this knowledge to practical use. . A foundation in chemistry is essential for further study of the sdbject and other sciences also benefit from a good chemistry background. The Chemistry Department at Wilkes is able to me~t both of these needs. The department is chaired by Dr. James Bohning and has seven full-time faculty members.

Schaeffer Hall Fits Educational Idea The new W.B. Schaeffer Hall, a multi-equipped and conceptually planned lecture hall, will be dedicated Saturday, October 11, in conjunction with the dedication of the Stark Learning Center. Shown above is the exterior of the facility facing South River Street. The lecture hall "fits an· educational concept," according to francis Salley, faculty co-ordinator for the SLC. He said the concept is to hold a large lecture in the hall where adequate seating and audio-visual equipment will be available. The large group would then be divided into small sections which would go to the seminar rooms in the northwest corner of the second and third floors of the SLC. Salley said the facility "will havP. all appropriate audio-visual aids-" Included will be additional blackboards; a front surface, electrically operated screen ; three rear surface screens which will have the capability of using a rear surface projector ; and slide projectors. After being set up, all audio-visual equipment can be completely operated from the lectern. The idea for the new hall began "quite a length of time ago" said Salley. He . said Dr. Eugene S. · Farley, Dr. Francis J . Michelini and Dr. Ralph Rozelle were "prime .niov.ers" in the formation of the new lecture hall. Construction of Schaeffer Hall, which can seat 355, was a part of Phase II of the SLC building program. It was begun early in 1974 and, according to Salley, it is now 99 percent finished. It was designed by the architectural firm of Lacy, Atherton and Davis and was constructed by the Heddon Construction Company. Salley estimated the cost at "something less than one million dollars." "'Ibis facility has tremendous academic value to Wilkes College," said Salley. Also, he said Schaeffe::Hall can be used for various community meetings as a part of the continuing "interrelationship and mutual suppott of college and community." �October 9, 1975 Pages The Beacon Biology Suite Largest in SLC By Janine Pokrinchak "I think the Biology Department was one of the first ones started," commented Dr. Charles Reif, chairman of the Biology Department of Wilkes College. The department, located in Stark Learning Center, occupies one half of the area of third floor and has approximately 400 students majoring in biology and related fields. Since the completion of the Stark Learning Center, the Biology Department has acquired new laboratory rooms, a microbiology suite and a faculty office. In addition to the new facilities, there are various laboratories, offices, storage areas, preparation rooms, and a greenhouse located on the roof, which allow for coqpucting laboratory sessions, research and other special projects. · Students, as well as faculty, participate in research projects. Faculty members, besides their teaching duties, conduct their own research. Each year, the department tries to have students present their papers at the Eastern Colleges Science Conference. Nancy Rodda, a 1975 Wilkes graduate, had the opportunity to present her paper to the Pennsylvania Academy of Science. Recently, Dr. Robert Doty, who specializes in microbiology, joined the professional staff of the biology department. Other members of the facultr are: Dr. John Ericson, endocrinology; Dr. Wilbur Hayes, physiology; Dr. Clyde Houseknecht, . ecology; Dr. Robert Ogren, botany and parasitology; Dr. Charles Reif, naturalist; Dr. Louis Rigley, animal behavior; Mr. Henry Steuben, preparatory supervision; and Dr. Lester Turoczi, genetics. Wilkes offers a variety of courses and programs from non-major to graduate levels. Upo1_1 completing four years of study, . students graduate with a degree in Biology or Medical Technology. A six year Bachelor and Master of Science degrees and the Wilkes-Hahnemann Cooperative Medical Education Program in Family Medicine provide special opportunities for ·students to obtain post-graduate degrees. According to Dr. Reif, a large percentage of biology majors continue with post-graduate education. Wilkes is also · affiliated with hospitals in Pennsylvania and New Jersey where medical technology majors spend their clinical year. · The hospitals include Robert Packer · Hospital, Sayre; Allentown General, Allentown; Wilkes-Barre General, Wilkes-Barre; Williamsport Hospital, Williamsport; Hahnemann, Philadelphia; Somerset, Somerville, N.J.; and Hackensack Hospital, Hackensack, N.J.

This, however, is just the beginning of the pleasant happenings at 170 South Franklin Street as Arthur J. Hoover, transforms a beautiful morning into a fruitful day with 21 years of experience at Wilkes. Arthur J. Hoover, a man of many faces, is kept constantly on the go as he fulfills the duties of director of Alumni Relations, Community Affairs and Student Activities. In addition to his official title, Hoover also involves himself with . Commuter Council, Lettermen's Club, Student Union Board, advisor to the class of '78, President's council, Dean's councn, assistant secretary to the Board of Trustees, Who's Who, Parents' day, Football Parent's Club Appreciation Night, as well as chartering buses to sport activities. Hoover also is involved with the Annual Alumni Campaign and part of the Development Campaign. In spite of all this, Hoover's door is always open to anyone and everyone for whatever reason and he is Evelyn Robinson, assistant to easy to know because he possesses a always willing to help whenever he Hoover in the development drive, radiating warmth in his personality can. spoke about her close working that makes conditions pleasant to Lynn Jacobs, Hoover's secretary relationship she had this past year 'work under. for five years, mentioned that " he is with him and said that one of the The tale does not end here, but so busy I have to make an greatest assets is the ability he has continues and spreads through the appointment to see him.

In addition, he helped me to decide to apply for an RA position, which I have held for two years." M,archant also said, "it's nice to know when_ you leave Wilkes that you'r~ kept in ~lose ~rso~,al contact -he is a genwne friend. At the end of his interview Marchant said "I'm glad I could do something for him for a change." Al~us Carol Dr~us _sai~ that she thinks the Alumm Office is run well and Hoover puts out more than anyone can imagine. " He is willing to help regardless if you're a student or an alumnus." Another alumnus, Carol Zambetti, feels that Hoover is valuable in his jo~ beca~e he develops relationships with the undergraduate students and it lasts forever." A fellow c~assmate of Hoover's, Howar? Enms '55,_ wrote that he couldn t add anything but that he was a great guy and a great asset to Wilkes." Acting President Robert S. Capin has known Hoover since 1955 when 1 he began teaching for Wilkes upon his graduation from here.• Capin said that "his most valuable asset in his job is to maintain liason with alumni. More importantly, in Capin's viewpoint is that "Hoover represents the kind of product that Wilkes has produced through the years and that his interests for Wilkes extends into the future because he too is an alumnus. Capin reflected that, "you can't appreciate something unless you've experienced it and that it is difficult to explain to someone who doesn't know Wilkes College what it is like. Art represents the dynamic view of what this school is and should be." Hoover has touched the lives of many on this campus and like Capin George Pawlush, Sports Information Director, said that "Art typifies Wilkes he is sincere and sensitive and it ;as he that has probably been the biggest influence in my life." Pawlush views Hoover as a family-oriented, social person and that Wilkes College is a family type place. "This is the type of environment that Hoover thrives in because he is Mr. Wilkes College a gentle man, an educated man." ' Dean George Ralston knew Hoover as a high school boy in Glen Lyon when Mr. Jacobs called to reco~end Hoover for a scholarship to Wilkes. ''He has been with us ever since and I might add that he is a person who does more for others than others do for him." The saga of Arthur Hoover could not be justified in one article but one thing is for certain, because of his optimism and congenial nature and his genuineness, 'Uncle Art' has helped to make Wilkes one happier family.

" Everything you need for experiments is right at your finger tips in the new labs. Everyone has adequate space to work in and there are permanent movie screens in the labs," Dr. Berryman went on to say.

Little Mary Kay ls A Girl 'On -The Run' For Colonels Mary Kay Malloy is serious about running and very much concerned about the achievements of her teammates on this year's cross-country team. "This year's team is much closer and everyone helps each other out," says Mary Kay as she begins her second year, running on the all-male Colonel squad and incidentally is the first female to participate in the Middle Atlantic Conference after joining coach George Pawlush's team last year. It all started when captain Mark Zavoy convinced her to come out for the team, she says, and when she went to talk to Pawlush about it "he thought I was looking for a calendar." "I WAS APPREHENSIVE at first. I didn't know if she really meant to run or if it was some women's lib thing, but she has been a very dedicated and hard working girl," said Pawlush as he was trying to assemble his team for a photograph last week behind Weckesser Hall. Both Mary Kay and her coach agree that there is plenty of untapped talent on campus, both male and female. Pawlush was so intent on increasing the number of members that" he was thinking of putting a want ad il' the local paper. "I ran a program this summer, and my best prospects were two 13 year old girls," says Pawlush. "When , in five years, you only have seven wins, you have to be in it for something besides winning." Every day this summer, M_ary Kay set aside about an hour a day and ran. "I worked at night, so I had to run during the day when it was hot, and one time I got lost and ended up on Interstate 80," she said with a smile. · coaches and athletic around the country are: WILKES & UPSALA (From P. 12; Going into last Saturday's tilt with Wagner, Upsala was still considered a fly-by-night team. The experts had Wagner a 27-point favorite over the · Vikings, but how wrong they were. Upsala jumped out to a 10-0 lead, but had that advantage cut to three just before halftime, when a Wagner defender busted in to block a punt, and · • rambled untouched into the endzone. · DOWN 15-10 WITH two minutes left in the game, the Upsala offense .... penetrated to the one-foot line, before being stopped. Wagner then took a safety, and won the game 15-12. Last week's performance proved one of two things. They are either a good team, or Wagner is ayery bad-team. But experts don't make a team 27-point favorites without reason, and the reason was that Wagner gave • powerful C.W. Post quite a battle a week earlier. Colonel mentor Rollie Schmidt would be inclined to believe the former theory-Upsala is a good football team, and perhaps, his troops will get the opportunity to put out against a good football team. Only time will tell. Upsala operates out of the Delaware Wing-T, which is the identical offense used by.Clarion State, when they beat Wilkes 17-7 three weeks ago. But l,llllike Clarion, they do not utilize all of that misdirection that had the Blue and Gold defense going daffy, and pass quite a bit from the formation . Key to the Vikings attack is fullback Ron Forino, a 6-0, 200 pound junior who is averaging four yards a carry in his team's first three games, and has caught nine passes for more than 130 yards. Upsala likes to throw quite a bit to their backs, and that is where the Wilkes linebacking corps will have to stop them. �1 October 9, 1975 Page 11 The Beacon ·Dynamo Dennison Wins Big Rams Feast On Vet's Club BY DAVE ORISCHAK Two powerhouse teams showed their strength iast week when Dennison and the Rams unleashed their offenses for a total of 71 points.

Leading scorers for Dennison were Nick Holgash, who electrified the crowd with runs of 67 and 30 yards, and H.R. Haldeman, who highstepped his way on a 40 yard score. Precision pass patterns by Jay Lemoncelli were also a highlight of the afternoon. THE RAMS ALSO showed a powerful offense when they defeated the Vets Club 31-0. Bill Kalish, who is leading the league in scoring after the first game, racked up three touchdowns on two runs and a 30 yard aerial from Rich Cronauer. Cronauer's arm functioned with strength and accuracy in the contest as he passed for two touchdowns.

SHOP 9:30 'til 9 (Continued on Page -JO) Sports Chatter By Paul Domowitch RAMBLING ON BELIEVE IT OR not. the Wilkes grid team almost opened their 1975 season againstnone-otherthan powerful De~aware University. While it never actually came close to being a reality, last year's Division II national runnerups did look into the possibility of opening this campaign with the Colonels. Naturally, it would have only been a one year contract between the two schools, and the game would have been p~ayed on the Delaware campus, but Wilkes officials never seriously considered the fe~ler from the bigger school. Delaware then ru:opped the offer on Wittenberg , College's doorstep, who not only accept it, but beat the Blue Hens 9-a, and are now ranked number one in the NCAA Division III poll. WILKES WILL HAVE its name mentioned with the "bigs" next weekend, when they take on Ithaca College up in New York state. All Ithaca game results are reported on the Prudential college scoreboard immediately following ABC's coverage of college football on Saturday afternoons. The last time this happened was back in 1969, when the Colonels whipped the University of Vermont 31-9 and received national mention. BLOOMSBURG WOULD MAKE a great whipping boy for future Wilkes homecoming games. Not taking anything away from Rollie Schmidt's team, but the calibre of opposition they went up against last Saturday leaves something to be desired. Wilkes came out with a convincing 41-19 victory, but Schmidt still has important questions that were left unanswered. While playing a team like Bloom may put a notch in the win column, it sure as hell doesn't get you ready for teams like Ithaca and Albright. As a matter of fact, the only thing they got from running around the field Saturday were a number of fluke injuries, and some false assurance of their talent. IF THE WOMEN'S field hockey team somehow manages to get through their 1975 season, and then lives to tell about it, they will have earned our respect for an eternity. Including this afternoon's game with Bloomsburg, coach Gay Meyers' club must play 12 games in the next 22 days. On several occasions, they will play back to back contests, and this heavy load of competition does not include the Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs, which begin during the early part of November. It's a tough enough calendar for a team with some substantial depth, but for the Colonelettes, who have very little in the way of depth, it's a battle against heavy odds. WORDS FROM an anonymous.top s1p.all-college lacrosse coach: ''Wilkes will never be considered in the national lacrosse rankings, and will most certainly never be considered for a berth in the NCAA tournament until they play a better calibre of teams. The MAC is not very highly regarded in national lacrosse circles, and until they start playing teams from down in the Maryland area, or up on the island ( Long Island), they're going to be left out in the cold." He hit it right on the nose. WHILE WE MAY be straying away just a bit from the su!>ject of sports, we would like to extend our .warmest congratulations to the 1975 Wilkes homecoming queen, Karen Considine, and her court of princesses Fran Polakowski, and Marianne Montague. Three more deserving girls could not have been chosen. WE'RE GOING TO go out on a limb for the remainder of the 1975 Wilkes football season, and give our . forecast of the Saturday afternoon encounters. This week: Wilkes 31, Upsala 6. Conjessions Of A Cub Sports Scribe BY JEFF ACORNLEY It all started when I was three years old. From the time I started writing on the walls with my crayons until the times I received A's on my "What I Did on My Summer Vacation" papers, I was destined to be a writer. I was written off as an eccentric writer at the tender age of six when I "wowed" my peers with my "See Johnny Run" stories. Unfortunately, I reached my peak too early and it's been all downhill ever since. Now I am faced with my first assignment for the " Gazette" as a rookie sports reporter. MY DUTY IS to compose an absolutely sparkling expose' on star college athlete Harvey Picklemeyer. My hero. (Sigh!) I;ve always dreamed of being a star athlete. Being a mere pittance over· five feet tall has limited my stardom to the inside of my head. I COULD POSSIBLY be the very-shortstop on the baseball team, but I am definitely too short for handball because I have to play against the curb. Being the rational person that I am I decided to scrap the sports car~er and become the next Gene Shallitt. I now have serious doubts about that career as a result of my distressingly inept interview with Harvey Baby! Y.T. stands for yours truly and H B stands for Harvey Baby. ·y :T.: (extremely intimidated) So, how are ya' Harv ole' boy? H.B.: Duh, whadda ya' mean? Y.T.: Well you know. Que pasa and all that stuff. H.B. : Are you trying to get personal? (his seemingly eight foot bulk rising to the occ~sion) You better watch it buddy or I'll pluck every hair from your moustache one by one. Y.T.: (Undaunted, I pressed ever onward!) Look, Mr. Picklemeyer, let's get down to the meat and potatoes of the interview. Your public is waiting in breathless anticipation for the answer to this question. Is it true that you wear furlined athletic socks? H.B.: ( shocked at such a swipe at his fair name) Look, buddy, I've got a reputation to uphold. I'm going to crush that cute little hat you have with the "press" I.D. button on it if you don't stop prying.

October 9, 1975 SPORTS FORR BYPAUL.DOMOWI'OCH As_Colonel linebacker_S~eve Leskiw walked through the gates of Redman Stadium back to the v1s1tor'.s locker room last Saturday afternoon he remarked, "I think I could play another game right now." And he's r1ght. He probably could have. The entire Wilkes football team barely worked up a sweat in their 41-19 bomba~ding of a totally inept Bloomsburg State College unit, and with the except10n of a handful of minor injuries, there was no physical evidence of fatigue or exhaustion. ROLLIE SCHMIDT WAS short on words after the game because there was very little you could say about what went on that afternoon. Bloomsburg, as big as they were, showed very little aggressiveness and coughed up the ball every time the " opportunity" arose. ' "It was a strange kind of game," Schmidt commented. "While we certainly did win, it was impossible to see just what kind of a team we actually had.'-' What he meant was that he still doesn't know if his offense can sustain the type of steady drive it will need to score on a team like Ithaca and Albright, and his defense really wasn't tested what with the Huskies handing them the ball time and time again. ' ~o, the Colonels he~d into Saturday's homecoming clash with Upsala, still unproven; and still looking for that real test of strength. . Th~t test of strength just might come Saturday. Known more for their mep!1tude the past th_ree s~asons (they had lost 19 straight contests before beatmg Swarthmore m their 1975 season opener), the Vikings of coilch John ~ooper have at le~st earned a minute parcel of credibility in '75, and will mvade Ralston Field Saturday, with a 2-1 record. THEY OPENED UP with that win over Swarthmore which was really no true accomplishment, since Swarthmore last won a f~otball game in the days of Roosevelt and the Fair Deal. But t~e follow4lg week, Upsala utilized an outstanding defensive effort to upset highly-touted Susquehanna University, 7-3. While Susquehanna may not be the best team around, they were expected to battle Wilkes for MAC honors this year. . (Continued on Page 10) L? ., TONY SCHWAB "Getting a Rinse" Colonelettes Entertain. Bloom This Afternoon Eaton Experimenting With Youth Movement Rebuilding has never been an easy assignment for a coach, and no one knows that better than Blue and Gold soccer mentor Chip Eaton. Having lost their first three o~tings thus far, the Colonels will travel up the highway tomorrow afternoon to oppose highly touted Scranton University, and the outlook appears very bleak. ONCE NOTHING MORE than a fair team Scranton has built their soccer program up from the ground floor, and appears ready to take on bigger challenges. For Eaton, this is bad news, and he is hoping that his young team can just hold their own tomorrow. The outlook for the future of soccer at Wilkes has never looked better than it does now under the direction of Eaton and assistant coach Jim Ferris. But building a solid future means taking your lumps now and that is what Blue and Gold soccer fans ar~ beginning to accept. Eaton has gone with mostly freshman, sophomores and juniors thus far, and will continue to do so the remainder of the season. He is counting on a few seniors like co-captain Tom Trost to hold the '75 edition together, but basically, he is giving his promising young players a chance to develop and gain some valuable experience. BEFORE THIS SEASON is over, Eaton will have a good idea of what the future looks like, and with a few breaks, they may even make this campaign one to be proud of as well, after a horrendous start. The late September rains of two weeks ago caused quite a few cancellations on the soccer team's schedule and it has been revamped quite a bit. The Wilkes-Baptist Bible tilt, which was set for Sept. 24, has · been rescheduled for Oct. 23, at home, and the rained out ~pt. 27 match with Bloomsburg has been reset for Nov: 5. The Colonels season-ending encounter with Elizabethtown College on Nov. 8, has been moved up to next Thursday, which means the booters will close out their 1975 campaign three days earlier than expected. BY DOTTY MARTIN The Colonelette field hockey team, playing under a very tough schedule this year, dropped two games early last week, but picked up a victory on Friday to even their record at 2-2. The Blue and Gold traveled to Easton on Tuesday to face Lafayette College. It looked as though the game would be a scoreless tie, until with only 15 seconds remaining, the • Lafayette offense overpowered the Colonelette defense. The result : Wilkes - O; Lafayette -1. _LAFAYETTE IS KNOWN for playing good hockey, and with a score like this, it is evident that the Wilkes defense was sup~rb. Goalie Nancy Roberts played an outstanding game with 16 saves. It has been said that Nancy stopped even the impossible shots. Outstanding performances were turned in by Jean Johnson, Sue Ann Knight, and Barb Gorgas. They never gave up and stopped Lafayette from scoring time and time again. · The Blue and Gold girls again found themselves on the short end of the score when, they were defeated by Kutztown State on.Thursday, 5-2. Scoring for Wilkes were senior Barb Long and freshman Donna Bettelli. Assists were credited to Miss Bettelli and Nancy Enderlein. The Colonelettes iooked slow and tired and were out~hustled by Kutztown constantly. Last week's rain, which cut heavily into practice time didn't help the team. ON FRIDAY AT Ralston Field, the Wilkes team got toge~her and went on to down Drew University, 3-0. Scormg were Sue Funke, two and Penny Bianconi. Assists went to Nancy Mathers, Cathy Yozwiak, Bar b Long and Donna Bettelli. ' In JV action, Wilkes tied two games. ·Toe Lafayette score was 0-0 ~,!!ile the Kutztown game ended, 2-2. Scoring were Nancy Mathers and Penny Bianconi. Karen Killian and Val HoskimLhave been showing great promise on defense and offense, respectively. COACH GAY MEYERS commented ''many of our first team people have to play in the JV game and they also have to play out of their r egular positions. The JV games are giving excellent playing experience for some of our new people and extra work on endurance for every one. These games are a very important part of our schedule. " The Colonelettes will host Bloomsburg State this afternoon in their homecoming game. Note: There has been a lot of comment lately about one of the Wilkes field hockey players wearing white spikes this year. Maybe the idea will catch on. Sal/ey's Heel Injury Kill1i1g Harriers Mike Salley isn 't the best r unner the Wilkes cross-country team has. As a matter of fact, the 5-11 freshman ranks well behind teammates Paul Boris and Mark Zavoy in natural talent. Then why the grimace on coach George Pawlush's face over the foot injury to Salley that may sideline him for the rest of the season? It's just this. With Salley healthy, the Colonels have the g?o_d number three runner they need, and the te~ could flmsh the campaign with at least a .500 record. Without him, thefr win over Madison FDU a week ago may have been their last. DEPTH HAS BEEN a problem for Pawlush from the beginning, but he knew that if his top three or four runners could stay healthy, it wouldn't be a major concern. But Salley is now sidelined with a badly bruised heel, and the future looks bleak. "He's going to see a ~di~tris~," Pawlush explained, "and perhaps, they can fit him wit~~ special type of shoe. But right now, all he c~n do ~or ~t _is stay off it, and we're really doubtful as to. his avallab1hty for the remainder of the season." With Salley out, the Colonels are back where they were a year ago, when they finished 3-14. However, they are not going to roll over and play dead. Both Boris and Zavoy have performed well in the team's first two meets and · others, like Steve Standiford and Jeff Metzger 'were impressive in the FDU match. " Paul (Boris) has been just super in the first two meets," said Pawlush. "He's won both of them by more than a minute over his nearest competitor, and I really believe he's going to get even better. " WITH THE TEAM'S future suffering a dismal blow in Salley's injury, Pawlush is now hoping for great things from individuals like Boris. If Boris can continue his torrid pace into the month of October, he should be a strong favorite to finish among the top 15 runners in the Mi~dle ~tlantic Conference cross-country championships, which will be held on November 8, in Gettysburg. With a .500 season becoming more and more doubtful individual accomplishments from runners like Boris ar~ all Pawlush may have to hang on to. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BoardofObstetricsandGynecology. On Abortion Local Obstetrician Blood Donor Day Set for October 28 . . By Mary Ellen Alu Strongly emphasizing the advantage of a liberal education at the collegiate level, Dr. J. Douglas Brown, provost and dean of the faculty emeritus at Princeton University, spoke to more than 500 friends and donors of Wilkes Saturday morning at the Convocation and De_dication of the Stark Learning Center and W.B. Schaeffer Memorial Hall. Dr. Brown spent almost half a century in higher education and as an economist, he was one of the designers of the Social Security Program. _1n 1971, ~Hiott L. Richardson , then Secretary of Health, aJVarded him the highest award of the Social Security Administration, The Arthur J. Altmeyer Award, for his contributions to the Social System updating over four decades. Dr. Brown related his address to the Bicentennial theme as he spoke on "Liberal Education for Leadership : 1776-1976." He traced the educational qualifications of those who drew up the Declaration of !ndepend~nce and the Constitution and pointed out that 31 of the 55 mvolved m the Constitutional Convention were college . graduates with liberal educations. Dr.Brown Also a featured speaker was Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Jr., son of the late first president of Wilkes. He paid a tribute to those who followed through on his late fa ther's dream of having a major learning center complex on the campus and addressed himself to the needs of science in an ever-changing world. , J ohn D. MacArthur, a native of this region, who has built one of the largest business empires in the nation and is reputed to be worth in excess of $900 million, was conferred with an honorary doctor of science degree during the ceremony. _R emarks were made by Congressman Daniel J. Flood, a long-time friend of the ~olle~e, who traced the development of the learning center and paid tribute to the late Dr. Farley, and Dr. Francis J . Michelini, second president of the college. The Honorable Max Rosenn, judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals and a member of the Wilkes Board of Trustees, paid tribute to the late W.B. Schaeffer and cited his interest in education. Acting President Robert S. Capin, who presided over the almost two-h?ur ceremony, closed the program by accepting the new learnmg complex as the chief executive officer of the college. �Page2 October 16, 1975 The Beacon Mice Problem Exterminated The reign of the mice in Star k Learning Center has come apparently to an end, according to building manager Frank SaHey and exterminator Joseph Mack. "Except for . a few isolated sightings which might occur, the problem is now over ," Salley said. Concurring in that assessment was Mack, the Plymouth exterminator who was called in to deal with the little rodents. " As far as I'm concerned, everything should be under control," Mack said. Mack said his firm inspected the learning center on three occasions in the past three weeks. Many dead mice were found, indicating that the poison is doing its job well. Mack also said that there would probably be no odors from the dead mice. " If you put the bait around the building properly, there should be no odor problem," he said, adding that the best way to place bait is in locations where the mice .will be coaxed out of their cubbyholes and into accessible areas where their bodies can be picked up. Salley also believes that there will be no odor problem. He said the type of bait used causes dehydration at a fast rate , so decomposition in the usual sense does not occur. "There should not be the stench associated with other dead animals," Salley said. Salley noted that maintenance workers have found some uneaten bait, which may mean that most mice are already dead. · As Dr . Lester Turoczi of the Biology Department observed, "The mice are no longer tap dancing. They've slowed down to a waltz and I hope to hear the funeral dirge soon."

Lately, it has been the subject of an unkind rumor. The rumor was that the elevator had not been inspected in the past five years but, in reality, it has been inspected several times every year . According to a state law it must be inspected only once a year. The Certifica tes of Operation have not been posted in the elevator because students had been destroying them with graffiti. Instead, a copy of the current certificate is put in the elevator and the original ·is kept in the Business Office, according to Alice Rader, administrative assistant to the Business Office. Mrs. Rader said, "Anybody can come in and look at the certificate, if they want to." In addition to the regular inspections, the elevator also receives a special weight test every five years. The eleva tor, a four passenger Otis, is the building's first and only one, according . to Mrs. Rader, although it was completely redone after the 1972 flood. Inspection of the elevator is the duty of the Pennsylvania Department of J .abor and Industry. Repairs are ham11ed by the Otis Elevator Company. /DC Action President Mike LoPresti announced that the I.D.C. Publications Committee has prepared the opinion survey for dormitory students and it should be distributed sometime next week. Hopefully, this will assist the I.D.C. in planning activities and trying to get dormitory conditions improved according to the students' wishes. In other actions, the I.D.C. voted to retain membership in the National Association of College and University Resident Halls and to send two delegates to their convention at West Chester. This will give I.D.C. the chance to find out what other colleges are doing to improve participation and conditions, and how to bring these changes about in an atmosphere comparable to that at Wilkes.

The play, written by John Cecil Holm and George Abbott, was performed as part of the many Homecoming activities. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and fine production which provided delightful entertainment. The many hours of hard work put into this play proved worthwhile. All aspects of the production, including the taped organ music, added atmosphere to the plot. Scenery and sets were excellently designed and constructed while the intricacy of them and the special effects provided realism. The costumes and hairdos gave the actors the ijppearance of stepping straight out of the 1930's. The actors were an interesting and exciting blend of newcomers and veterans alike. As proven in "Three Men on a Horse," this 'year's freshmen have plenty of theatrical talent. The two main female roles were successfully handled by Robin Oroian and Lynn Sare, both freshmen. Don Hallett and John Forte gave excellent performances in their first Wilkes production. The supporting roles played by newcomers were also well executed. The vetera1;s, Pat Wright, J eff Schlicher, Bruce Phair, Wayne Pannabecker, and Ned Coulter, showed, once again, their expertise on stage. They provided familiar faces from some of last year 's presentations including "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and " Canterbury Tales." Though all actors were fantastic, perhaps the best performances were given by Lynn Sare and Pat Wright. Lynn was marvelous as Mabel. She was very convincing and a pleasure to watch. Pat had one of the most difficult roles as the male lead. His expressions were indescribable, in particular his feigning hangover. Joseph Gavlick, as Charlie, was also very convincing. By far the best'part of the play was the fact that it was pure entertainment. There was no hidden idea or theme; it was simply meant -to be enjoyed. The behind-the-scene people deserve as much credit as the actors for a job well done.

At the present time in history the problems inherent in the war are exacerbated because of the overpopulation of Earth by the human species. My letter, rather than starting the war took advantage of an opening provided by Montague to call attention to the immediate battles of that war which are occurring on the campus of Wilkes College.

" declares Mike LoPresti, IDC chief for the 1975-,76 academic year. Besides attending classes and working in his 2nd floor office in Weckesser Hall everyday, LoPresti is required to go to at least 6 to 7 meetings per week. The committees of Inter-Dormitory Council, which is the primary link between the dorm students and the administration, are quite busy this year, according to LoPresti, a native of New. Jersey. A survey by the Publications Committee will be given to all dorm students. "The purpose of the survey is to receive dorm students' opinions on w_hat things they would like to see changed," stated the IDC president. AT WARP SPEED-Bad weather doesn't worry Dean Ralston when he's "Also, another committee is in the traveling by bike, but parking gates are another matter. Since he literally process of drafting a pamphlet, went througlt one a fe" weeks ago he's been watching out for them. "How to Survive in Wilkes-Barre." It will contain, for example, eating places, and other information which will benefit the dorm student." Ralston and Bike Go Except in Heavy Snow By Wilma Hurst " Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night" keeps George Ralston, dean of Student Affairs, from biking to his office and home again ever.y day, every month of the year. On rainy days, he steers with one hand while the other holds ~n umbrella above his head, and is thwarted only by snow more than three mches deep. However, he doesn't resort·to a car even in this kind of weather. Then he makes the six-block journey on foot. Since Dean Ralston obeys all traffic rules and _signals, and is careful when riding in traffic, he has been almost accident-free. His only mishap was not with a car, but with one of Wilkes' infamous parking gates. He admitted somewhat sheepishly that he was responsible for the untimely end of the gate near the New Men's Dorm a few weeks ago. "I was so embarrassed," he recalled as he told the story. It seems that when a doctor called him and reported a student's car was blocking his driveway, and would be towed if it was not moved in 15 minutes Dean Ralston raced to the rescue. He saw the car and "tore into the parking lot. I was going pretty fast, when all of a sudden, there it was. I stopped, but not in time. The gate took all the punishment _as my shoulder hit it and snapped right off. It cost me $17. Despite his embarrassment he reported the incident ~nd learned ironically, the new gate had just been installed that mor!1in~. Fortunately his bike survived the accident as well as it did the flood of '72. It was a pr~sent to Dean Ralston from the students, given to him at the 1971 IDC Christmas party. It's a simple one-speed bike with no hand brakes, and it's all the Dean needs. A bike is his favorite form of transportation because it's fast, saves gas and eliminates parking problems. He wishes more people would use bicycles, and believes they could improve the parking situation at the college. He has used one to travel to Wilkes since 1957 and he pedals all over Wilkes-Barre as well. Besides being economical and convenient, a bike is clean,_ and Dean Ralston is very conscious about these facts. He has a one-family car and two sons of driving age. Nevertheless, he firmly says he doesn't want or need another car. He proves his point every day, with or without the weather's help. (') By Maria!ne Montague A Fairy T~le Once upon a time, not too long ago, ( then again it might have been very long ago - it depends on how _well you remember when "smoking pot" meant you burned your meat loaf) there were these two groups of people dormitory students and commuter students, or "Dormies" and "Hennas." They lived in a land called Wilkes College. These people were very different. Dormies liked to do their own laundry and eat the same things, while Hennas spent most of their time looking for parking spaces and listening to lectures from their parents. Dormies insisted that Hennas even spoke a different language; they ended every sentence with their name. "That was a rotten history test today, henna ?" and "Tuition is unreal, henna?" are just a few examples of the speech pattern. The strange part was that Hennas insisted they never said the word. It was a constant point of disagreement. So these people had very little in common and didn't really make such a great effort to get to know each other. The Dormies were led by Prince Al Foderaro. He made sure they were all happy, healthy and well-fed. The Dormie army was led by Sir Mike of Lo Presti and Sir Tom of Trost. They always tried to park their horses in Henna parking spaces and every time they did, the Henna army chief Lady Jackie of Pickering would try to have them arrested. This made· matters worse between Dormies and Hennas especially when the Hennas kept stepping in horse droppings on the way to get their cars. There seemed to be no hope for improving relations between these groups until one day a miracle happened. Prince Al Foderaro had an uncontrollable craving for a BLT on toast with a pickle and he knew the only place to get it was in the Commons, the eating spot of the Hennas. He walked in the Commons disguised as a Henna (heaven only knows how he did that - I guess he wore a parking sticker on his forehead ) ~nd ordered his sandwich from Princess Sophie, the Henna monarch. Tt,eir eyes met and he was captivated by the aroma of mayonnaise all around. Anyway, the prince knew he couldn't live without her so he proposed over the coconut cream pie. Princess Sophie accepted and wedding plans were set. The girl Dormies served as bridesmaids while the Knights of the Round Table (the guys who play cards on the second floor of the Commons) were the ushers. The two groups were finally united and that's how the Wilkes College family came to be. Now everyone is living happily ever after except Sir Mike and Sir Tom they have to keep their horses in their rooms because the parking stickers keep falling off their tails. The End. ( O.K. so I'm not Hans Christian Anderson or the Grimm Brothers all rolled into one - but you gotta give me credit for trying! ) Cooperation is Needed LoPresti, a junior, has also been working with Jackie Pickering, CC chief. The two leading campus organizations have jointly scheduled Halloween, Christmas, and St. Pat's parties. IDC has been busy finalizing the plans for Parent's Day, to be held on Saturday, November 1. In a recent Student Life Committee meeting the problem of faculty and student cooperation was discussed in relation to extra-curricular activities. The committee, which consists of faculty, administration and student representatives, discussed the problem in detail at the suggestion of Doris Saracino, director of Women's Athletics, in relation to the lack of cooperation found with faculty in the area of sports. Mrs. Saracino pointed out, "that the problem not only lies with participation in sports but with theater, as well as other activities." The committee suggested various solutions, such as, a reciprocal agreement between students and faculty concerning make-up work. It also was suggested that Mrs. Darte, chairman of the ·committee, to send a letter to all coaches .advising them of their obligation to inform the sb1dents of their school work resPonsib1lities. Other topics for discussion included the scheduling of classes from 5 to 6;30 p.m. Currently if dorm students don't dine at this time, they miss out · on the dinner meal. Al Foderaro, director of housing, brought up the point that they have paid for this service and are noi compensated for it if they don't attend the meal. The other topic was the upkeep of the school vans to insure the safety of those who use them, and to maintain a check to insure this objective.

The move was prompted by the recurring problem of dorm students and others without special stickers taking parking spaces that had been allocated for selected commuters. "The illegal parking situation in the lot is improving," Commuter Council Vice-President Ray Ostroski said at last Thursday's CC meeting. "At first there were about 20 cars parked there illegally, but now it's down to only eight or nine." Ostroski invited students "who won't take any guff from anyone" to apply for the parking lot attendant job. Five or six students will be hired on the work study program to work in shifts at the lot. CC Treasurer Len Shatkus reiterated previous CC requests for student cooperation on the parking problem. Shatkus warned that the lack of cooperation "could be bad for everyone" and might jeopardize any future CC efforts to secure parking space for commuters. -- Barbara Hall, social events committee chairman, announced that the CC film festival has been rescheduled for November 7. The distributors of the films, Swank, Inc., agreed to charge CC only for the cancelled September 27 film festival, Hall said. No charge will be made for the rescheduling, ·unless a more expensive film is substituted for one originally ordered. . Commuter Council also discussed a problem with commuters and dorm students crashing parties in the New Men's Dorm. CC President Jackie Pickering warned commuters to stay out of dorms unless invited. "After all, you wouldn't want people crashing parties in your home," she noted. Pickering also cautioned that more such violations might result in dorm party privileges being curtailed. Pickering reported on progress in the move to rename the Student Union Building in honor of former Student Government President Peter Jadelis. CC's recommendation for the name change passed the Dean's Council "with enthusiasm," Pickering said, and it's now up to the Board of Trustees to act on the '·°'fJ0'1!1 C.h lJttPr / mm p. 71 suggestion. annual NCAA Division III national tournament, and the Indians made it all the way to the finals, · while ·Schmidt and company s~ayed home and watched the championship on television.

No Wilkes College harrier in history has ever participated in the national event, but coach George Pawlush feels that Boris has enough talent to become the first. " Paul is improving with every race," Pawlush said, " and he is running more than a minute ahead of his times from last year. If he can continue doing that well, I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to travel to the nationals." AND IMPROVING HE is. Boris placed second in the Wyoming Valley Striders invitational meet here in early September, and followed that up with a third place finish in the Lebanon Valley Invitational, losing out to Bob Stackow of host Lebanon Valley by 20 seconds. Stackow was the state high school class B champion last year. Once the dual season got underway, Boris won his first three races with relative ease, and two weeks ago, was matched up once again with Stackow, when Lebanon Valley traveled to Wilkes-Barre. Sports By Paul Domowitch Chatter Determined to turn the tables, Boris dug in and took the lead from the start. Coming into the homestretch ori the Colonels 6.2 mile course, the Blue and Gold hero held off a late kick by his opponent, and outdistanced him by ten yards. It was then and there, that Pawlush decided Boris was national material. WHILE BORIS HAD a rough afternoon in the Colonel's homecoming tri-angular meet last Saturday, and could do no be_tter than eighth against the top-notch competition from Rider and Scranton, Pawlush doesn't expect too many repeats like that from him. "Paul has tremendous potential, and is a very smooth runner," he explained. It was just one of those bad days." So, the 5-10 sophomore is on his way to becoming the greatest runner in Wilkes history, if he already hasn't done that. But for someone of Boris' talent, that isn't enough. First, he would like to finish among the top 15 runners in the Middle Atlantic Conference cross-country championships early next month, and then, if he and his coach think he's ready, he'll be on the starting line in Boston a week later, for the biggest race of his life. - DOMOWITCH - {(::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Clash~ With Rains Tuesday ::::;::::::::?::::::::::::::\l PAUL BORIS SATURDAY'S PROBABLE STARTING LINE-UP OFFENSE SE-Larry Tarutis LT-Bob Para LG-Len Dalmas C-Ken Sickler RG-Frank Wengen RT-Bill Metzger or Joe Dettmore TE-Paul Wengen QB-Chuck Suppon or Greg Snyder FL-John Matusek FB-Freci Lohman HB-Rodney Smith DEFENSE LE-Lou Maczuga LT-Bob Gratton RT-Chuck Crawford or Jim Costanzo RE-Don Kullick WLB-Don McDermott or Kurt Franke LILB-Steve Leskiw RILB-Tony Couto ROLB-Phil Besler LCB-Fred Marianacci S-Dave Trethaway RCB-Ton Schwab ~i i Wheelers Capture Total Offense Lead t 1\11 1111 BY DAVE ORISCHAK There were only three games played in intramural competition last week. The big story of the week resulted when Fritz Wheelers took over the league lead in total offense. The Wheelers defeated Slocum 36--0 to give themselves 52 total offensive points. High scorer for the Wheelers was Tom MacIntyre with 12 points. MacIntyre now leads the -league in individual scoring with 24 points. ALSO SCORING FOR the Wheelers were Dennis Thompson and Billy Winter. Thompson looked confident in the quarterback slot and should prove to be a big asset for the Wheelers as the season moves onward. After playing two games the Wheelers are leading the league in offensive, however, both Dennison and the Rams have yet to play their · second games of the season. These two teams were leading in offense after the first game. In other games around the league last week, the Spoilers dropped a tough game to Dirksen 7-43. The losers scored first on a pass from Edmunds to Toey. However, they failed to convert ·the point after touchdown.

Butler shutout the Diaz Destroyers 7-0 on a pass from Andy Kresky to Bill Poloha. The Butler squad is showing definite signs of improvement. TODAY'S GAME WILL feature Slocum against the Vet's Club. It's hard to pick a favorite in this game since neither team has scored thus far in the season. On Monday, Diaz will meet the Wild Bunch. Diaz has shown very little offensive strength so far, therefore the Wild Bunch will be favored. On Wednesday, Dirksen will face a powerful New Riders team. The Riders have a new star on the offensive unit in Charlie HE MADE THEM BELIEVERS When the Colonels travel to South Hill Field in upstate New York to take on powerful Ithaca College Saturday, they will be a decided underdog. There was a time more than a decade ago, when the Wilkes College football team was a door mat for every team they played to wipe their feet on. They lost in regular fashion, and went into ahnost every game labeled the underdog. BUT IN 1962, Rollie Schmidt stepped into the position of head grid coach at the institution, and hoped to put an end to the loser's role that Blue and Gold teams felt obliged to act out week after .week. It was no easy task. In his first three years at the hehn, his squads losf more than one-third of their games, climaxing that misfortune with a 1-6 record in 1964. In 1965, however, the Colonels rolled to their finest season since the days of George Ralston, winning seven of eight, and capturing their first Middle Atlantic Conference championship in the process. That was the beginning, and before the dust would clear four years later, Wilkes College football teams would win 32 straight games, capture two Lambert Bowl trophies, and reign as MAC "Northern Division" titlists five straight years. The days of being a doormat had ended, and the role of underdog was now being assumed by Wilkes opponents instead of by the Colonels themselves. · BUT WITH THE rise to national prominence under Schmidt, Wilkes upgraded its schedule, and there were times, even during that "Golden Era" when the Colonels found themselves back in that same underdog position. The first instance that comes to mind was the Colonels first clash with Vermont University back in 1968. It was the season opener that year for the Blue and Gold, and experts were anticipating the famous Blue and Gold win streak to buckle at 19. Vermont sportswriters weren't taking Wilkes very seriously, and found themselves writing: "who the hell is Wilkes? " It didn't take them long to find out that autumn Saturday afternoon in New England, as Wilkes obliterated the Catamounts 31-9. A year later, Vermont had a veteran club returning, and came to Ralston Field looking for a portion of revenge, and once again occupied the favorites role. What they got was a 1.7-7 loss, and an answer to the question of "who the hell is Wilkes" for the second year in a row. IT DIDN'T STOP there however. In 1970, Schmidt found his squad stripped bare by graduation, and lost his first three games that year to teams like Lycoming, Moravian, and Susquehanna. On top of that, Alfred University was coming to town that next week, and they were unbeaten on the campaign, and ranked first in the Lambert Bowl poll. Sure enough, the Colonels - underdog role and all, upset Alfred 16-14, and cost them the Lambei:t. Finally, two years ago, Wilkes took a sophomore-studded team to Central Pennsylvania to take on favored Juniata College in a big Middle Atlantic Conference battle. The Indians were unbeaten until · then, and had high hopes of going through the entire campzjgn in that same fashion. Three hours after the opel)ing kickoff, Juniata looked up at the scoreboard to find that they had indeed just been beaten by the Colonels, whose soph squad included such names as Leskiw, Lohman, Snyder, Suppon, Kullick, Marianacci, Para, and many more. Despite the victory, it was Juniata that was selected to play in the first NO-FAULT JEANS 1(.'111itin11rtl on p.

"The Charge of the Light Brigade" By Allred, Loi;d Tennyson South Hill Field will be battlefield. The powerful battle-tested troops of Ithaca, with their mammouth barrage of artillery lay in wait as a proud, but underdog band of Colonels prepare to hurl themselves into the mouth of the mighty Blue Bomber cannons. In reality, Ithaca does not possess the cannons and artillery that Tennyson speaks of; or do they? They have absconded with foes this season in such a manner, that more than one team has been left shell-shocked and destroyed. [,.AST WEEK, IT was Springfield who found itself being ripped apart by the Blue Bombers powerful guns, to the tune of 61-0. The week prior it was Alfred , and the week before that Cortland State. The Ithaca army gives its canno.ns peculiar names such as Bill Bryant, Jerry Boyes, and Larry Czarnecki. Then, the armies experienced coaching generals line the cannons up in very stategic locations, where they can do the most harm to the unwary enemy, such as split end, quarterback and defensive tackle. Thus far, every opponent has ridden "into the mouth of Death, into the mouth of hell," and has not returned. They had gone · in with high hopes that they could tackle the Ithaca giant, but when the shooting was over, and the cold breeze surfacing from the waters of nearJ>¥ Cayuga Lake had administered a layer of frost onto the chopped-up sod of the South Hill Field battleground, there was not a survivor left. :Saturday, the underdog Colonels make their final charge against the juggernaut Ithacans. It will be the last time that such Soccer Team Homestand Set The Wilkes College soccer team succumbed ·to a very powerful University of Scranton club last Friday at the victor's field. The Royals bombarded our heroes with seven goals while Samson Adagu managed the only Colonel score. Scranton has one of the better smallcollege teams in the East and the victory advanced their record to 7-1, while Wilkes fell to 0-4. Not too many sports fans are familiar with the intricacies of soccer, but Coach Chip Eaton has an exciting club and the action is always fast and furious. The Colonels are entertaining Elizabethtown this afternoon and will host Wagner College at Ralston Field on Saturday afternoon. The hooters are currently in the midst of a five game homestand, which will conclude on Oct. 28, when Moravian comes to town. brave and proud Wilkes militiamen as captains Steve Leskiw and Fred Lohman will face the Blue Bombers, and they will lead the attack that hopes to enter into the mouth of hell, pillage it, and return in a · burst of glory and victory. IT CAN BE done, believe me it can be done. And no one knows that better than the Blue and Gold field commander Rollie Schmidt. His forces don't have the devastating manpower and brute force of Ithaca, but they have something else: pride, and a great deal of confidence in themselves. Leading the way for captain Lohman will be the biggest front line the Colonel army has ever had, and if that should somehow not suffice, Schmidt has devious infiltrators like Paul Wengen, Larry Tarutis and John Matusek, who make their living by slipping through enemy lines, and planting bombs among the defensive secondary. · But Tarutis, a talented second year man, may not be doing any infiltrating Saturday. He reinjured his knee in the Upsala battle last week, and his status right now is questionable. Once the Colonels penatrate the opposition, it will be up to captain Leskiw · and his defensive crew to hold their ground, when the Blue Bomber shelling . begins. Their front line has also been saddled with injury, but it wasn't the enemy that incurred the wrath of God. Defensive SUPPON ON THE RUN-Colonel quarterback Chuck Suppon is shown scrambling for vital yardage in his team's 27-8 win over Upsala last week. Chuck has gotten off to a tFei_nendous start tbi~ campaign an~ will probably get the starting nod Saturday in the all-1mportant clash with Ithaca. A Wilkes victory could guarantee them a shot at an NCAA post-season tournament invitation. tackle Tom Bradshaw fractured his arm in practice drills last Wednesday, and appears out for the remainder of the season. But Schmidt still has the likes of Lou Maczuga and Don Kulick to slow up the Ithaca first charge. Behind them, lies the real secret to stopping Ithaca's attack, whether it be by land or by air. Leskiw, and Tony Couto are two of the top linebackers in the state-bar none, and coupled with the efforts ofDon McDermott, Kurt Franke and Phile Besler, who will alternate on the second line of defense with them, Wilkes is steady. Ithaca is an intelligent warring machine however, and they do not put all of their marbles into one pile. While known for their awesome ground attack, it is their air efficiency that wins the big battles for them. And no one knows that better than the three Colonels· who will be trying to stop that specific strategy ploy ; Fred Marianacci, Tony Schwab, and Dave Trethaway. LAST YEAR, ON home ground, the Colonels had Ithaca dead to right, oefore quarterback Boyes started ripping them apart with crucial aerial artillery. But the Blue and Gold lrio are determined that won't happen this campaign, and will be keying their attention on Ithaca's favorite infiltrator, split end Bryant: a slippery, snakelike human being, who can turn the thrill of victory into the agony of defeat, faster than you can say Jim ·McKay. - The Colonels have been working hard all week, making final adjustments in their fighting machine. But all the adjustments in the world aren't going to make any difference Saturd&y. It will be Wilkes vs Ithaca; the underdog against the favorite ; a David against a Goliath. The task fs not an easy one, but neither was it for the light brigade. They charged into the jaws of Death, with all the odds against them. But somehow, someway, they emerged victorious, ruid the myth of the unbeatable juggerna:.it had been destroyed. Kidney Attack Sidelines Her Gay Meyers: She Never Quits BY DOTTY MARTIN It's not easy to teach swimming and ~~ce classes while carrying a baby; nor 1s 1t easy to coach hockey from a hospital bed - but Coach Gay Meyers has somehow managed to do both. Lee Carol Meyers was born on May 11 only two days after classes had ended fo; the 1975 spring semester. But "Mom" was at school every day, right to the very end. JUST LAST WEEK, Mrs. Meyers found herself ~gain in a hospital - the second • time in five months. The Colonelette coach suffered a kidney attack on the way home from a game at Delaware Valley, and with Penny Bianconi serving as ambulance attendant and Nancy Roberts acting as nurse, the Blue and Gold team had their number one coach safely back in , Wilkes-Barre and into General Hospital in no time. But, Mrs. Meyers wouldn't stop there. S~e was admitted to the hospital Tuesday mght and the homecoming game with Bloomsburg was set for Thursday. Coach Meyers .was in constant con18ft with co-captam Nancy Roberts and sen·1qr Barb ng while "hockey talk" flowed in and ut of the hospital all day Thursday. With elp from Mrs. Doris Saracino, women's thletic director, the Colonelettes were on e field and ready to play Thursday. Spirits were dampened - not only from • GAY MEYERS the rain, but because each Wilkes player found it difficult to perform without the coach who had taught her so much. However, the Colonelettes weren't about to give up. THEY BATTLED THE Bloomsburg team right down to the wire, only to lose, 2-1. Bloomsburg scored twice in the first five minutes of the game, but the Blue and Gold dominated the rest of-the contest. The Delaware Valley game finished in a 0-0 tie with the Colonelettes taking 29 shots at goal, but not being able to score. Lu Ann Neely, Sue Ann Knight, Barb Gorgas, and Jean Johnson exhibited fine defensive play. . The Wilkes girls had three tough games scheduled this week with Lycoming, Tuesday ; Mansfield, this afternoon; and Misericordia on Saturday; but Coach Meyers will be back in action - and that should make all the difference. When not on the hockey field, Mrs. Meyers can be found working on various Letterwomen projects, taking time to talk "frankly " with Wilkes students, and just being a mother. Never let it be said that . anything stands in the way of Gay Meyers. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
