Student Government: What Have They Accomplished? By Wilma Hurst and Patrice Stone After completing seven weeks of classes-onehalf of the semester-we feel an analysis of the progress of Student Government is in order. With Zeke Zaborney as president, Charlie Munson as vice-president, Howie Stark as treasurer and Gina O'Brien (who is presently ill and not an active member of SG) as secretary, the organization seems to have the potential to accomplish quite a bit. Each member seems to be hardworking and sincere in his desire to do his job. We now ask the .questlon: Is Student Government doing its .job, and just as importantly, what is Student Government's job? After attending several meetings and observing fund request upon fund . request, and hearing SG proclaiming over and over again that their budget's been cut $20,000 from last year , one comes to the conclusion that SG's job is solely to allocate money; About half of each meeting is taken up by fund requests. Each request is given close examination, which should · be the case, but many times the body reacts to the request as though they are deciding the fate of a criminal. Question after question is thrown at the person making the request until one begins to wonder if it would have been easier to rob a bank. Student Government was responsible for organizing the undergraduate homecoming activities, however . It can't be denied that much was offered this year, making it one of the best Homecoming Weekends, but this is a yearly dut.y · SG and they are expected to do a good job. . It is also true that more concerts will 3e offered at Wilkes as a result of efforts by Charlie Munson. He organized the Barry Manilow concert almost 'single-handedly, which is commendable, but we give Munson credit for this rather than SG ·as a whole. Student Government did make a genuine effort to get involved in campus issues by expressing their concern over the two infirmary nurses leaving. SG should be involved in such · matters on behalf of the students they represent and they reacted admirably in this situation. But what else has Student Government accomplished? No campus is perfect. There's much that can be-done to improve college life at Wilkes. Sitting in the board room of Weckesser Hall and debating fund requests does nothing to get the ball rolling. Student Government should be sensitive to the problems of the students. In many cases students don't even know who their SG representative · is, which may be partially their own fault , but which proves that SG hasn't made any real effort to reach out to the people it represents. There is no real coordination between Student Government and the student body. Students may not understand the importance or the purpose of SG and SG seems to take neither the time nor the effort to make its purpose known. Student Government has no useful function if it does not serve as a voice for the student body, and it cannot accomplish this purpose if students aren't aware of the potential SG has. Are SG meetings open to the entire student body? They are, but not many people seem to know for sure. SG should make it known that their doors are open (if they are open). Posters could be put up every week stating what will be discussed at the upcoming meeting and SG representatives could make it known on a more personal basis that the meetings are open to the students, and the students are welcome there. Plenty of students on campus are willing to get involved in college life, but just require the initial push. It is therefore up to SG to make it known that they are representatives of the student body and are willing to respond to student ideas. Student Government should not be thought of as merely an organization that gives·out money. It is the voice of the Wilkes College students and should strive to fulfill that purpose. In this way they will not only be improving their own organization, but the college as a whole. �October 23, 1975 The Beacon Page 2 Returning Veterans Discover Readjustment Difficult Step . City Editor to Advise Journalists of Today Paul Golias, investigative reporter for The Times Leader Evening News also will present a discussion on the techniques of investigating during the later part of November. Dave Philips, night city editor of the Times Leader Evening News, }Vill speak to journalism students of Wilkes Coll~ge on Monday, October 27, at 7 p.m. in the board room of Weckesser Hall. The future newsmen will be lectured to on "what they will find when they enter the news world of tQday," said Philips. He will also talk about competition between newspaper, television and radio. When asked what advice he would give to aspiring journalists, Philips said "They should get a good well-rounded education and become extremely careful in detail. " He added that "there is no hope for any story or writing if it doesn't have factual accuracy." At the Times Leader since 1961, Philips has had wide experience in the news field. He said "I've filled all of the desk positions except for sports." Previously, he has worked as a reporter-photographer in Hazelton and on a small daily paper in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Philips graduated from Wilkes College in 1971 with a B.A. in Sociology. . Dave Philips Debaters Win 7 Awards But Shudak Assists·Pro.blems By Janine Pokrinchak benefits.

Through the club, veterans are made aware of benefits and changes which affect their status. Shudak stressed the importance of keeping abreast of these changes in veteran's benefits on a weekly basis. The club sponsors speakers who discuss the variety of problems facing the veteran. Presently, the club is holding a membership drive which is opened to . veterans and non-veterans. Meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of each month at 11 a.m. in SLC 204. The next meeting is November 6 and will feature a speaker from the State Employment Agency to discuss unemployment benefits for newly released veterans. Shudak would like to see the Veteran's Representative Office become more efficient. He asked that all veterans cooperate by visiting the office at Wilkes when they register in order to certify their enrollment at Wilkes. This will speed up receiving their checks. Hours for the Veteran's Representative Office are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Letter to the Editor Upcoming Play May Be Censored The Theater Department is opposed to a certain word contained in the script of " Hot L Baltimore" and is reportedly trying to have the word in question censored. According to a statement made by Howie Stark at this week's Student Goverment meeting this action could result in a lawsuit against the college for altering the script. The play is scheduled to open Thursday, November 20. SG members also criticized the recent lecture by Dr. Paul Griesmer for its being obviously one-sided, and expressed disappointment that the Concert and Lecture Series would sponsor what was referred to by one member as "out. and out propaganda." The body suggested that both sides of an issue be presented in the future to avoid unfair influence.

By Frank Baran The recently-organized Pittston Club is not just for people from Pittston-it's for anyone who wants to have a good time. The Pittston Club is one of the newest student clubs on campus, having been formed in mid-September. The purpose of the club, says treasurer and public relations director Ray Ostroski, is simply to have fun. "Students at Wilkes need an outlet after going to classes every day and studying for exams,'' Ostroski said. ''The Pittston Club intends to supply them with that outlet. We set up parties to give students a good time-a chance to meet new people, to laugh about things, and to have fun.'' "I believe relieving the strain of education is just as important to learning as the classes themselves are. If you're happy, you do better in school" Ostroski added. The 'club was formed by several students who felt Wilkes needed "a different kind of club," one that would "liven up the campu.<i." This desire to form the first club which would be devoted exclusively to social purpo~es led to the formation of the Pittston Club. Within two Pittston Club at King's College. days, over 80 students had signed up Simply put, club membership is as members.

A year ago, the Colonels wanted it very bad, as did their coach, Rollie Schmidt, who had not coached a league champion since 1969. In response to that desire, the Blue and Gold went out and beat Albright 14-10, and the MAC crown was theirs. · THIS YEAR IS anothet story. Wilkes is coming off a disappointing loss to Ithaca, which saw their pride and their national playoff hopes suffer a bitter blow in the 30-0 defeat. Even worse, the. ColQnels suffered a pair of injuries that could . have a direct bearing on the outcome of this week's game with the Lions. Fred Lohman, who has established himself as the greatest fullback in Wilkes history, was forced to leave the Ithaca game midway in the third quarter with a leg injury, and his status for Saturday _is doubtful. X-rays, which were taken Tuesday morning would show whether or not Lohman had a cracked bone in his left leg. If the pictures are negative, it will be up to the doctors, and lady luck to decide if he can play Saturday. ·SHORTLY AFTER LOHMAN was helped off the field, linebacker-punter Donny McDermott injured · his hip, when an Ithaca player gave him a cheap · shot .as he was getting a kick away. However, McDermott's injury is more painful than it is serious, and his chances of playing Saturday appear good. While the Colonels must rebound from a loss, Albright is flying high after pounding winless Susquehanna University last Saturday 42-20. The conference victory was the Lion's fourth of the year, and the only two MAC foes standing in the way of their fifth league championship in history, is Wiikes and Upsala. Wilkes will not be seeing anything from Albright that they didn't face in last year's game. The Lions still work out of the wishbone offense, and about the only time they throw a pass is on the sidelines before the kickoff. THEY ARE EXCLUSIVELY a running team, headed by halfback Frankie Francks, and his backfield mate Bill Gallen. Both Gallen and . Francks are averaging nearly five yards a carry, and Wilkes will have to stop them if they hope to leave Reading in a happy mood, as they did a year ago. The Colonels asset on defense is that they have the type of unit perfectly equipped to stop the wishbone. Their secondary, which will be concentrating on Albright's wide running game, is a good one. Tony Schwab had the best day of his career in last year's win, chalking up more than 15 tackles, and teammates Fred Marianacci and Dave Trethaway are equally adept at stopping the run. In last year's win, Marianacci played with a bad shoulder, but he'll be 100 per cent Saturday and that's not good news for the Lions. McDermott's presence at outside linebacker will be added plus for the Colonels also. He has impressed .the coaching staff with his hard, sure tackling all season long, and if he is healthy, Wilkes · will be in good shape. What it all boils down to then, is wanting it, and we've got a feeling that come Saturday afternoon, that want is going to deliver a victory to the Blue and Gold doorstep.

The Misericordia win gives the Blue and Gold another NPWIAA league victory. Senior Barb "Sparky" Long ran circles around the Lycoming defense as three of the four goals came off the end of her stick. Co-captain Sue Funke scored the fourth point. Assists were credited to Penny Bianconi, Sue Funke, and Kathy Yozwiak. GOALIE NANCY ROBERTS prevented what could have been a loss to the Wilkes girls with her 13 saves in the Mansfield game. Sue Funke, assisted by Nancy Enderlein, scored the only Wilkes goal.

They aren't : exactly barnstorming the league and do not strike fear in the hearts of :their opponents. In fact, they will be lucky if they manage to win one . third of their games this season. But, there is more to life than winning soccer matches. This is 'probably an overworked phrase and is a perfect rationalization for a lot of losing teams, but the Colonels are a decijcated soccer unit. THEY OPERATE AGAINST tremendous odds. Their locker room hasill concrete floor, and one line of -benches down the middle of the room with hooks on the wall instead of lockers. Those minor inconveniences merely make it a little uncomfortable but when you don't even have enough players on the squad to conduct a full scrimmage in practice, it is almost impossible to have a winning team. It makes it excruciatingly difficult when the starting eleven players · have to play against each other i guring workouts. There is virtually no opportunity to learn one another's moves and develop any cohesion at all. Coach "Chip" Eaton has asked anyone who is interested in working out with the team to come to Ralston , Field for practices in a feeble attempt to fill out the squad. Coaches Eaton and jim Ferris and volunteer helper Mike Sieber strain on the practice field as much as any 1 of the players. They are a devoted group of athletes. BLESSED WITH SOME outstand- ing individual players in the likes of Tom Trost, Pete Papadopoulos, Tony Apostolaros, Bill Nardone, and Len Vekkos they walloped Wagner College last Saturday for their first victory of the year, 6--0. They deserved it and whether they win another match or not, they are certainly on the road back to respectability against major odds; a path Eaton knows well from his own illustrious playing days for Wilkes in the late 60's. The Colonels will be looking for win number two this afternoon, when they -host Baptist Bible at Ralston Field. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dizzy, the composer, band leader and trumpet virtuoso, is known for his puffed-cheek playing style and his specially made trumpet - the bell of which points upward at an angle.

Medical careers in podiatry will be the subject of a seminar to be held Tuesday, November 4, at 7:30 p.m. in Stark Learning Center, room 101. The speaker will· be LeGrand Newman, director of recruitment at . the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. - Newman noted that of the 44,000 students presently enrolled in pre-medical courses iri the United States, only 14,000 will be accepted ' into M.D. programs. Alternate medical careers are open to many of '" these pre-med students, Newman said, and one of these alternatives is ,. podiatry. The podiatry profession deals primarily with foot health and its relationships to the health of the entire body. The great majority of podiatrists are in private practice, although the podiatrist, may wish to join the staff of general hospitals, geriatric homes, rehabilitation centers, clinics, group practice, and other health care institutions. He may choose to teach or -conduct research, developing new materials instruments, and equipment, medi: cations, and techniques. Other • opportunities include commissions : in the military service, or acting as consultants to industry or pharmaceutical companies. There . is an increasing need for podiatric practitioners. Many smaller communities acutely need the skills and knowledge a podiatrist ' can contribute. In 1964, for example, there was a shortage of about 3,000 podiatrists in the United States. By 1985, 10,000 additional podiatrists will be needed, the American Podiatry Association reports. Also, there are not nearly enough women practitioners in the profession, and colleges are actively seeking female applicants. There are only five accredited colleges of podiatric medicine in the United States, including the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine in Philadelphia. · PNPA Accepts BEA CON COUNT :oNIT toget you through any mathematical problems you (or the professors) come up with ...

According to Robert Capin, acting president, this is not true. Capin said, "Everyone must have respect for people and property. If a person does something that disregards this, then corrective actions must be taken. This has always been the case." The acting president stated that he hasn't heard anything about student conduct being out of hand. "At the Dean's Council at the beginning of the school year I mentioned that I expect the regulations concerning student conduct in the student handbook to be adhered to. The subject has not come up since that time." Al Foderaro, housing director, confirmed Mr. Capin's comments. "The policy concerning student conduct is the same this year as last year. Student conduct here is good compared to' other colleges I've seen." When asked why the party policy in the dorms has been changed, Foderaro replied, " The students requested that something be done about the parties. They came to me complaining that they'd pay money at the door to get into a party and then not get any beer." Although there have been occasions that students have gotten out of hand, the housing director stated that such cases haven't been too frequent and they're really nothing to worry about.

I thought I'd give you a little "sneak preview" of what some people will be wearing to the celebration. So pick out a costume and come along. Girl : Hi, Mare. Isn't this a great party! Me : Yeah. I don't believe some of the costumes. Girl: Look, there's Mr. Meyers and Dr. Rodechko. I don't understand. How come they came as a bat and an Indian? Me : Well, Dr . Rodechko wanted to be " Batman and Robin" and Mr. Meyers wanted to be the " Lone Ranger and Tonto." Girl: What happened? - Me: They compromised and came as Batman and Tonto . Girl: Oh, oh. There's Dr. Reif. Me: In his Litter-Bug costume. (Forgive me, Dr. Reif. I couldn 't resist it. How could I have a Halloween Party and not invite you?) Girl : Is Mrs. McDonald coming? Me: I think so - but she couldn't decide between being "Old McDonald" and " Ronald McDonald." She'll probably end up coming as a hamburger that says "here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick-chick." Girl: Look; There's Robert Capin, Nelson Carle, Ted Veremeychik and Alice Rader. Me: That was a great idea. They came as " Bob & Carle & Ted & Alice." Girl: Look at poor Mr. Abate. They won't let him in. Me: That's because he came as a parking ticket and nobody will pay for him. Girl: I don't see Dean Baltruchitis around. Me : That's because he came as " the Invisible Man." Girl: Who's that man in the funny red wig? Me: That's Mr. Shaw. He's " Raggedy Andy. " Girl: How come Dr. Turoczi isn' t here? Me: He got the dates mixed up. He thought the party was Tuesday but that was Blood Donor Day. Girl: Yeah. When he showed up in his vampire costume everybody thought the Red Cross had a new way of drawing blood so everybody ran away. Me: Poor Dr. Marban. She's trying so hard to pass as Queen Elizabeth I of England but I'm afraid her accent is giving her away. ' Girl : Is anybody else here? · Me: There's Mr. Moran .as "Clark Kent, " Dr. Fiester as "Big Ben," Dr. F:all as " The Phantom of the Opera," and Mr. Santos as "Santos Claus." Girl: That costume you have on is great. I was really scared when I first saw you. I never saw anything so ugly in my entire life. Me: I hate to disillusion you, girlie, but I'm not wearing a costume! Girl: You could have fooled me. Well, I guess it's time to go. Me: That was a really terrific party. I got the prize for most original and I didn't even wear a costume. They should have a party for Groundhog Day and everybody could get dressed up as groundhogs and for _April Fools Day so ev~rybody could get dressed up as fools .. Girl: Dream On!

The third soloist on the program ·Social Activities Plan JVIeets With Opposition A proposal presented to Student Government concerning club contributions to college activities met with definite opposition at the SG meeting Tuesday evening. The proposal would require every club to sponsor one all-campus social activity per year and to absorb all costs for such an activitiy. Funds would not be allocated to a club which did not complete or plan the required activity. The proposal was presented with the intention that it would provide more weekend activities on campus. Several club representatives stated opposition to the proposal. Frank ' Baran cited the discrimination against smaller clubs and stated "Clubs are designed for their own club members, not the whole campus. Their purpose is to interact as they choose." SG member Al Berger said that the proposal is "forcing someone to do something that everyone on campus should want to do."

Woinan by the Se The Wilkes College Sordoni Art gallery will feature the works of American painter and printmaker Will Barnet for its next exhibition which runs from Saturday, November 1 to Sunday, November 23. The exhibition has been assembled by Associated American Artists of New York and will cover his etchings, lithographs, woodcuts and serigraphs dating from 1932 to those completed this year. Barnet has greatly influenced printmaking through his own work and as a teacher. Always an innovative artist, he was the first to create lithographs using the techniques of oil painting directly on the stone. He protested the ecological plight in the 1930's through a series of etchings titled, "Air in the City". Born May 25, 1911, Barnet received his art education at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School and at the Art Students' League in New York. He is a prize-winning artist and has exhibited in numerous one-man shows and important national graphic shows. His work can be found in major graphics collections in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Brooklyn Museum, Guggenheim Museum, Library of Congress, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Public Library, Whitney Museum of American Art and many others. The Associated American Artists Galleries have prepared a catalogue of Mr. Barnet's graphic work, tracing his development from realism through abstractionism,. and then to the balance he has obtained today by combining the two styles. Copies of this catalogue will be on sale at the exhibition. Fahmy Backs Teacher Aiding "A good teacher is a good observer," stated Dr. Mahmoud H. Fahmy, associate professor of education, describing the importance of the teacher aiding program. The teacher aiding program has been in existence for six years and is a voluntary program open to sophomores, juniors and seniors, with no prerequisite courses necessary. The program gives students the opportunity to develop both deeper understanding and sensitivity to the complexity of teaching as a process. . The program this semester involves 180 students who work in all public schools in Luzerne County including parochial schools, Wyoming Seminary, ,and many private nurseries and kindergartens. Next semester the program will offer students one credit for this experience. .The program requires the student to spend two hours a week in a classmember of the custodial staff. The student does many J.obs from tutoring small groups, composing bulle_tin boards to correcting tests. The student is an active part of the class- semester. room experience.

Joining · the team as a · freshman, Papadopoulos was unaccustomed to the articulate skills required to make the soccer ball do exactly what he wanted it to do, so he had to compensate for that and adopt his own brand of soccer in order to make the grade on the Wilkes team - and that style became hustle. NOW, THREE YEARS later, he has won the respect of his coach and fellow players by simply out hustling opponents to the ball. As Peter puts it in his modest fashion, "I'm not overly quick, so I have to try and hustle my man to the ball." But neither hustle nor skill seem to be enough these days for the sagging Colonels, who have been having a rough time.winning games. "It's a matter _of everybody uniting to do the job at the same time and as the team gets more experience, they get more confidence and do a better job," added Papadopoulos. A lack of depth and some key injuries at the wrong time have hindered the Wilkesmen from turning out a record they think they are worthy of. Currently, the - Colonels .have lost some scoring punch with Mario Apuzzo and Roland Igweze injured. · "WE SEEM TO play a strong first half," he said, "but then in the second half, we start to lag a little. We have a good defense and a good goalie," he added, " and the offense has· managed to pour in some 13 goals to date." But, as· Peter explained, when the team plays together as a unit they do well, and run into problems when some of the players try to carry the weight individually which detracts from team unity. Papadopoulos points to the fact that the team has many underclassmen on its roster and only a sprinkling of seniors and veteran players. For instance, Lenny Vekkos is in goal for his initial try as a Colonel, and many of the midfielders are not as comfortable moving up and down the field with the ball, as a seasoned college player would be, but this process takes time. Time may be running out on the Blue and Gold hooters this annum, as they play their next to last game tomorrow and wind up their slate the following Wednesday. Papadopoulos is quite hopeful of the Colonels chances next year and says if Coach Eaton can come up with a good recruiting_: year to go with the array of returnees, then the hooters can look forward to a healthy winning season in 1976. But before that, you can bet that fullback Papadopoulos and the other 10 players will .. be putting out 110 per cent to win the remaining games. Actually they deserve a lot more credit than they are getting right now. But if they can find guys with the hustle and desire of Pete Papadopoulos, then things will surely brighten up for Coach Eaton and his players. Fine Rookie Crop Beginning New Era In Colonel Basketball BY PAUL DOMOWITCH Gone is the era of Ozgo, Buzinski, and Ference, which under the coaching genius of Rodger Bearde, saw the Wilkes basketball program rise up from the ranks . of obscurity to take its place among the respected. The past two seasons, with that trio forming the nucleus of the Colonel attack, they did what no other Blue and Gold club preceding them had ever accomplished. They won 34 games, while losing only 15, and captured their first tournament championship ( Scranton Holiday Tournament-1973) in history. BUT IN ITS place is born another era, which by the time it has ended, may even surpass the tremendous exploits of Ozgo, Buzinski, and Ference. The names may not sound familiar to you now, but in given time, every Colonel fan from here to eternity will be shouting their praise. Bearde, who will begin his fifth season at the helm of the Wilkes basketball .team, is coming off his greatest recruiting drive in history, and the freshmen he has landed look every bit as promising as Ozgo and company did four short years ago . Heading the list are three New York City prospects, who give you good reason to believe that "the Big Apple" is the basketball capital of the world. Their names are Kendall McNeil, and Matty Peterson out of the Bronx; and Freshnian Davis Silver Lining In Disnial Harrier Cloud r': PETE "Hustling his man" Title Down The Drain (cont'd from p. 12) # yesterday, and his leg is getting better .. .A lingering second guess question- If Wilkes had tried to block that final Albright punt in the fourth quarter, instead of setting up for a return, would they have gotten to the kicker, who handled a high snap? BAVITZQUIZ ANSWERS 1. Dan Pastorini of the Houston Oilers holds the records for fumbles in one season. His 17 in 1973 is tops. 2. Bobby Mitchell averaged 11.62 yards every time he touched the football during his career. 3. Roman Gabriel was the number one draft choice of the Oakland Raiders back in 1962. 4. Gale Sayers was the only running back to gain more than 1000 yards in 1969. 5. Lydell Mitchell of the.BaltimqJ,:~. ~c.>1!~ . set a record in 1974 by catching 76 passes. The Wilkes College cross-country team has undergone a major facelifting as the 1975 season winds to an unspectacular close. A few months back, head coach George Pawlush was optimistic that his team would finish with their first .500 campaign in the sport's history at Wilkes. But fate has a way of handing setbacks, and the Colonels have certainly had their share of them. With a few personel quitting, and still others layed up with injuries, the harriers stood at 1-10 entering yesterday's dual meet with Scranton. ' BUT IN EVERY dark cloud, there is a silver lining, and for Pawlush that spells Jeff Davis. The gutsy little freshm.an out of Coughlin High School started the .year as the Colonel's number four runner, but as luck and a great deal of perseverance would have it, he is now the team's top individual. Despite recent setbacks to Susquehanna,, Messiah, Elizabethtown, and Albright, Davis has impressed people with his individual performances. In the E-town outing, he placed second enroute to his best run of the year. "Jeff has really shown me something these last few weeks,'' Pawlush explained. " With some of the other personel leaving the team, Davis has picked up quite a bit of the slack, and is developing into a fine runner." . . .__ Another Colonel harrier, who is coming into his own is Steve Standiford. Recently elected one of the new team co-captains along with Jeff Metzger, the sophomore Hahnemann student has cut almost three minutes off of his times from a year ago. In· addition to improving as a runner, . Standiford, has moved into the role of team leader and i~ doing a great job " spearfieaaing l:e'am•morale. DESPITE THEIR LACKLUSTER record, spirit and togetherness on the team ranks higher than it has ever been previously,ancJ the team is eagerly awaiting the MAC championships, which will be held on November 8, at Gettysburg College. Manhattan's Tim Brymn. But Bearde didn't quit · there. Coming back to the Keystone State, he took the best Pennsylvania had to offer in John Zapko of Pennsbury, Tony Nardelli of Dunmore, Wyoming Area 's George Oschal, Gary .'.foczylowski of Bishop Kalinowski in Scranton, Freeland's Tom Laputka, and Tom Donahue of Hazleton. FOR TWO SEASONS, Donahue, a 6-1 guard, has been the mainspring behind the success of Luzerne Community College basketball, and he comes to Wilkes with impressive credentials. Add these freshmen to a team that already has veterans like forward Jack Brabant, who has an outside chance at becoming the greatest · Blue and Gold scorer in history before he graduates, and you have ample reason to believe a new era of greatness is in sight. And Bearde is certainly one who believes. " We hflve more overall talent right now,' ' he said, "than we've ever had in my previous four years here." Just an example of that talent is McNeil, who led Cardinal Hayes High School to a secong. place finish in the New York City cage tournament, and was regarded as one of the finest scholastic performers in the area a year ago . Along with talent, the freshmen also bring heighth, something the Colonels may have been lacking during the previous era. Zapko is 6-6, Nardelli and Brymn, 6-5, and McNeil, who it seems can jump through the S. Franklin St. gymnasium roof, is 6-3. "I'm really looking forward to this .season," Bearde said confidently. And with a freshmen crop like that, it's easy to understand why. Netwomen Take Two of Three bAVIS "He's picking up the slack" For Pawlush, there will be no off-season this year. Immediately after the MAC championships, the 28-year-old mentor is going to begin one of the most intense recruiting drives in Wilkes cross-country history. "I'm going to send out over 400 letters to prospective runners throughout the East, and hopefully induce some talented individuals to think about coming to Wilkes. If I can land even five from that list, our program will be in good shape for the future." -DO MOWITCH- 1 The Wilkes women's tennis team won two of three contests this past week. The squad lost to Bloomsburg State College, 9-0, but cam(,!__back to beat Baptist Bible, 5-0, and 'Misericordia, 3-2. Winners in the Baptist Bible outing were JoAnn Englot, Pat Steele, JoAnn Pugliese, Renie Corbett and Diane Polacheck, and Chris Koterba and Nancy Cardillo. Renie Corbett, only a freshman and a very strong tennis player, led the Blue and Gold team to their victory over Misercordia. Miss Corbett filled in for a Wilkes player who was unable to attend the match and went on to win a singles victory for the Colonels. Renie then turned around, teamed up with her regular partner, Diane Polachek and the two girls put another victory on the scoreboard. ' The other winner in the Misericordia game was co-captain Pat Steele in singles. �Page 11 The Beacon October 30, 1975 Unbeatens Collide On Tuesday · I Sports Chatter BY DAVE ORISCHAK By Paul Domowitch QUICK TO BLAME FOR ONE BRIEF moment, Bobby Irwin experienced the joy of being a hero in only his first season of collegiate football. With just about two minutes remaining in last week's Albright contest, and the Colonels tr1:1 iling the Lions by six points, the 6-4 Irwin latched on to a Greg Snyder aerial in the endzone, that would have won the game. But just as quickly as he had it, the ball trickled off his fingertips and it was ruled incomplete. Laying there on the Albright turf, seemingly ashamed to get up, the lanky freshman wide receiver saw the world pass before his eyes. He had a chance to win the game for Wilkes, and he let it slip through his hands. His teammates were disappointed, the Blue and Gold fans were as sullen as church mice, and young Irwin felt like the loneliest person alive. BUT ffiWIN ISN'T the first receiver to drop a pass, and needless to say, he won't be the last. After the game, as he sat dejectedly in the locker room, his teammates tried to cheer him up. Senior offensive tackle Bill Metzger tried to console the misty-eyed youngster, but for the present, nothing would rid the self-guilt he felt. It never fails. Fan_s are quick to blame the obvious mishap, like his dropped pass, but. what of the other Colonel errors during the afternoon, that were just as much or even more responsible for the 20-14 loss that cost them the Middle Atlantic Conference championship. Albright's eight-yard scoring pass in the first half didn't happen accidently. Someone in the secondary got beat. And what about the penalty that killed a Wilkes scoring drive in the third quarter. The Colonels had a first and ten at the Albright twenty-yard line, and were moving effectively, when a holding penalty moved them back fifteen yards. Three plays later, they were forced to punt. There' were 20 Albright points up on the board before the afternoon came to a close, and they all obviously signify mistakes. So, it's not right for fans or for that matter Irwin himself, to blame him for losing the ballgame. He's shown a lot of promise in his first year as a Wilkes gridder, and he is going to show a great deal more before he hangs up his cleats four years from now. Take heart Bob, and look to the future, instead of dwelling on one dropped pass. AROUND THE HORN JUST A SHORT acknowledgment to my buddy P.J., who should know all about " big jerks." Next week, this colwnn will be composed of only one · · syllabled words, so you can understand it. THE EJECTION FOR the season of Jim Stehle, who is a standout intramural football player for the Rams, has a bad smell to it. Thrown out of his team's second game this season for fighting, Stehle was told he would be ineligible for the rest of the year. Len Washmanski, who runs the intramural program for Director Joe Skvarla, when he isn't playing for bennison Hall, inflicted the severe and unsubstantiated suspension. There is no doubt in our minds that " Pin" should have been given a one-game suspension for his actions but ejection for the season is utterly ridiculous and unfair. ' . ' Why the gripe? Just this. Dennison (Washmanski's team) and the Rams ;~re competing in the same division, and· play next week in a key contest. There is nothing like getting rid of the competition before it even steps onto the field. • - Skvarla initially levied a one-game suspension on Stehle - which was justified. The big junior sat out the Ram's game with Fritz Wheelers last week. But after complaints by Washmanski, that he should not be allowed to return, Skvarla altered his decision on the grounds that "he might do it again." Sure it might happen again. But if every player with a hot temper were suspended from the league, there wouldn't be enough people to make up one team, and that includes Washmanski. Where is the justice ... to Stehle, and to the Rams, who apparently have lost his valuable services for good, with the playoffs only a few weeks away? A WOK AT the Colonel grid squads scoring by quarters in their first five games, indicates that they have not accwnulated a single point in the fourth quarter. The totals show 27 points in the first period, 29 in the second, 33 in the third, and Oin the fourth and final quarter, for a total of 89. On the year, Wilkes has given up 13 touchdowns to the opposition. Eight of those have come by way of the air, while five were ground strikes. The five game defensive statistics show linebacker Steve Leskiw pacing the team in tackles with 71 hits. Right on his heels is sophomore linebacker Tony Couto, who has 66. AND FINALLY, WE are completely baffled by the National Football League Players Association's accusations aimed at commissioner Pete Rozelle, for his banning of WFL signings, now that the league has collapsed. ·They should be pleased - especially the borderline players, because they won't have their jobs taken a.way from them ( at least not until next year) by the unemployed WFLers, but instead, they are claiming that Rozelle is trying to stop competitive bidding and higher salaries for their services. There is just no satisfying some people, especially when they're making the "minimal" money of NFL players. The Fritz Wheelers defeated the Rams 14-0 last week and Dennison beat Colonels House 8-0, to set the stage for a feature matchup next week between the Wheelers and Dennison. Tom MacIntyre put on a one man show as he scored 12 points in the Wheelers-Rams contest. His first score came on a crowd pleasing 70 yard punt return and the second came on a 40-yard sweep around right end. This game strengthened Macintyre's hold on leading scorer giving him a total of 36 points. ' The Wheelers defense held the Rams scoreless. This is a tribute to . the monwnental rush put on by 'Mean Joe' Mullarkey and Bruce 'Benedict' Davis. In another important game last week, Dennison squeezed . by the Colonels 8-0. It was a poor showing by the Dennison squad in more ways then one. Their inability to score caused much frustration and uneasiness among the team members. On Saturday, however, it was a completely different Dennison team that rolled over the Vets Club 28-6. Dennison played the type of game that they are capable of, and any uneasiness that may have been present on ·Thursday was absent· Saturday afternoon. As a result of this game Dennison recaptured the league lead in total offense with 76 points. Both the Wheelers and Dennison are now undefeated. They will clash this Tuesday, in what is sure to be a barn-burner, to decide first place in the National Division. In another game last week the New Riders conti_nued on their winning ways as they defeated Dirksen 14-0. The Riders offense is looking very strong and since their . division is looking a little weak, the Riders should remain in first place for th e remainder of the season.

Judge Rosenn explained that many eligible candidates were nominated by interested friends of the college, and this includes people in other colleges and universities. Recently, ads were placed in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal so that the search committee will receive a broad scope of applicants and will not limit its view to a narrow area. "Most applicants are primarily from the eastern United States," said Judge Rosenn. Since the first meeting of the Presidential Search Committee was October 10, "it is too early to sum with what success we have made," he said. Interest Shown The judge said, however, that there is a suprising amount of interest around the country from aspirants wishing to fill the position. When asked whether Acting President Robert S. Capin might possibly fill the post permanently, Judge Rosenn stressed, "Mr. Capin has not filed an application, but I see no reason why the committee should not also give him consideration if he's interested in filling the vacancy." Capin became the first acting president in the college's history on September 1 when Dr. Francis Michelini left Wilkes to accept a position as head of the State Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities. Capin also is the official Dean of Academic Affairs, although he has delegated some of these chores to other college personnel. The mission of the Presidential The judge pointed out that the search committee is broadly composed for the purpose of reflecting the various college interests. The committee consists of seven Important Qualities members of the Board of Trustees, Judge Rosenn said that among the three members of the faculty, qualities that the committee is including Professor Benjamin J. looking for in a new president is Fiester, English Department; and "experience in the academic field, Professor Charles B. Reif, chairman familiarity with the problems of of the Biology Department ; and two education, administrative and fiscal students-Edward Zaborney, Stuexperience, and talents in fund dent Government president; and raising-all which are critical in an Debbie Lataro, Wilkes senior. independent college." Judge Rosenn said that from the Besides these, · he said the applicants, "selection will be made president's personality, how he ,by a process which we hope will meets people, his appearance, and ' focus upon who is most qualified." intelligence also are vital qualities. ·Interviews also will be conducted. I Search Committee is to recommend candidates, but the final selection is in the hands of the Board of Trustees, chaired by Attorney Joseph J.

Wing Details AFROTC Program By Joe Buckley " To offer an opportunity for area students to earn a commission in the Air Force and to add another dimension of appeal to Wilkes College" is the purpose of the ' AFROTC program at this college, according to Lieutenant Colonel Richard L. Wing. Colonel Wing, professor of Aerospace Studies and Commander, of AFROTC Detachment 752 at Wilkes, said there are two reasons for having Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps programs at civilian schools: the first is the input of people with different educational backgrounds from different schools into the service. The second reason is the output of those people back into society. In 1972, Dr. Francis Michelini said of the establishment of the AFROTC at Wilkes, "We are particularly interested in this program because of the opportunities it will offer to local students, particularly in financial assistance." Now, according to Colonel Wing, about 10 per cent of the students in AFROTC are on full tuition scholarships achieved competitively. Scholarships Available Scholarships are possible for studies in math, physics, nursing, and medical programs with the exception of the Wilkes-Hahnemann program. Since the purpose of the Hahnemann program is to produce doctors for Northeastern Pennsylvania and the purpose of the AFROTC's scholarship program is tQ produce flight crew personnel, the two programs conflict. The AFROTC program also furnishes uniforms and AFROTC textbooks. During the two years of the Professional Officer Course, a subsistence allowance of $100 a month is paid during the school months. Pilot Competition Keen The keenest competition in the program, according to Colonel Wing, is for pilot training. The greatest opportunities, he said, are in missiles, electrical engineering, and computer technology. There are still some students,according to the Colonel, who do not know that an AFROTC prog~am_is available. " We are a rmnority " h "d "W h g~~up, t f e ~ Be ~ di er~n f o~us. . cormntag to th~ then, is o primary lIDpor nee program. "Our survival," he said "depends on the public's understandin of AFROTC."

The influx of letters , both positi ve and negative, was phenomenal as compared with previous issues thi s year . It is good to see individuals finally taking part in the expression of valued opinions . For a while , we believed that our audience either did not know how to manipulate the keys on a typewdter or worse , that they had grown apathetic to college life . . One of the BEACON'S many purposes is to keep readers informed about campus news and generate public interest. If you have an opinion , we ask that you express it in writing as often as you feel it is necessary. If you don't have an opinion nor wish to form one, it is very unfortunate. Although we cannot expect all of our readers to be as dedicated in writing fair and numerous letters as Dr . Charles Reif, we hope that mo,r.e students, · faculty and administrators will take advantage of their opportunity to have their sentiments read occasionally on page 4. It al so is a fine sight to see our out-of-town subscribers participating in our letter column . Some people feel that much indifference exists at W ilkes when it comes to activities and writing letters to speak your m ind . Too many people are afraid of criticism of their viewpoints by their peers . However, no one would know this by the healthy involvement in last week's issue by writers whose letters extended to a second page . We also would like to commend those men and women who stood behind their individual attitudes by signing their names . Just remember . the key to getting things accompli shed at Wilkes is to GET INVOLVED! Topics Never Dull Iii Lecture .Series The Concert and Lecture Series has always provided the college and surrounding community with a rainbow of speakers and performers . Looking back , remember Gus Hall , the American communist party candidate in 1972, standing between guards posted at the exits of the CPA . Last year we had the privilege of hearing F. Lee Bailey,famou s trial lawyer now Patty Hearst's defender .. We even had a visit from Star Trek's own creator, Gene Roddenberry . This year the series expanded its list to Moshe Dayan and more recently; Dr . Paul Griesmer . Griesmer's talk on abortion drew some comment as some said it was " one sided ." People felt that Griesmer should have presented both sides of the coin on the abortion issue . We have always felt that a speaker is in demand for what he has fo say. We do not believe that a speaker is obligated , under th e auspices of the Concert and Lecture Series, to tell " other sides" to the talk of the night. Each lecturer is unique because he is a proponent of a certain stance . The Concert and Lecture series provides ample opportunities each year for wide discussion on either the speaker's viewpoint or our own beliefs. The series never leaves us snoozing . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _..,________""', Beacon . . . • . . . . . • . . . . . . . . . . . .. Donna M . Geffert Editor in Ch ief . . . .. . ...

L - - 1_ _ L~e;___tt_er._s_to_th_e_E_d_it_or_ _ _ ------J The SUlrt Of A Wilkes Dream Dies As A Result Of Apathy To the Editor: Today, at the Wilkes Music Department, an idea died, and a lesson was taught. The idea was to establish a musical ensemble which would permit the alumni and top music students of the Wilkes Music Department a chance to practice and perform together. Mr. Veremeychik of the Music Department organized the group, undertook the difficult task of Congresswoman Offers Internships finding a rehearsal time which was not conflicting with the busy lives of twenty students and professional musicians, and set up a tentative program of music. Today, after a month of rehearsals; this dream died. It is a tribute to Mr. Veremeychik that we made some very fine music during that month. It is also a tribute to him that the group lasted this long. From the start, this group has been plagued with absences. Certainly some were for very valid rea_sons. Many people ~oo~ efforts to notify Mr. Veremeych1k lil advance and even send in their music for that day._Others merelr didn't show up! \\'.Ith the ten~tive concert date rapidly approach':"~• and ~ 0st one fourth of the mus1~1ans rrussmg, the grou1,1 has been ~olved, at least for the present t~e. The end of another dream at Wilkes. To the EdJ.tor: Each semester Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman invites fi e students to work full-time in h;r Washington office on legislation, research and correspondence in addition to other office responsibilities. The semester program can be combined with a summer internship, if the student wishes. Because our office receives so many applications for internships, it is helpful if we hear from students applying for the spring semester as To the Editor: In a letter appearing on October early in the fall as possible. We require a personal interview, if 30, Dr. Reif makes it clear that his feasible, either in New York or belief (not certainty!) in current Washington·to help us evaluate each hwnan overpopulation warrants a perhaps painful decision of disapplication. Students can apply for a semester posing of hwnan life. He also agrees that abortion internship by sending a letter and reswne to Ms. Marilyn Shapiro, involves the killing of a hwnan Administrative Assistant, Office of being. We may therefore conclude Rep . Elizabeth Holtzman, 1027 that a hwnan embryo is a member Longworth House Office Building, of the hwnan species and a candidate for the slaughter house, Washington, D.C. 20515. Sincerely, At this point, I must question Dr. Marilyn Shapiro Reif's logic. If it is all right to kill Administrative Assistant human beings, what are the criteria Office of Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman that determine who should be the first to f>e killed? I said before that a lesson was taught. It is simply this: apathy is alive and well among the students and alumni at Wilkes. It was well taught to those persons now graduated, and is apparently still being offered on the curriculwn. Although this particular experience is in the Music Department, I remember well that it was true in other areas when I was a student, and expect that it still prevails throughout the campus, much to the shame of everyone who has ever said, "Why should I bother?" · Again, I wish to thank Mr. Veremeychik and those students and alumniofthemusicdepartment who were faithful to the dream for some very gratifying moments of music making. Th~nks a~so to the others for a lesson m reahty. Yours truly, . Earl D. Orcutt, '69 B.A. in Music Reader Discovers Solution To Envir·onmental !Alemma Going along with his logic, those who can be of greatest service to the TOTAL ENVIRONMENT should survive. An embryo with a full life ahead of it certainly has better potential for the future than people who, in all likelihood, have less left to offer to the well being of the TOTAL ENVIRONMENT. . Well, following that reasoning, I cannot help but arrive to this conclusion: Dr. Reif and I should be among the first ones to terminate occupancy of this planet for the sake of its environment; and I suspect, the sooner the better.

'Rhymes With Plague' Dear Miss Montague (rhymes with plague): , By Marianne Montague f he Crush' Sometime in our lives each one of us has experienced what is known as "The Crush." We fall head over heels in love with someone we hardly know but whom we're sure is the person of our dreams. I've been waiting for Prince Charming to r ide his white horse into my kitchen for years now. I've even considered eating a poisoned apple ( like Snow White ) to see if he comes any faster. Anyway I know all the symptoms of having "The Crush" and I thought I'd give you a little basie lesson. See if you have any of the symptoms. There are several basic forms of crushes : For the Girls : You think your crush is the greatest invention since the parking lot, but he doesn't know you exist. A typical day in the life of this poor, forlorn soul would consist of: Girl : I hope I see Joe today. The last time I saw him he opened his mouth and I thought he was gonna say " Hello." But he burped instead. Maybe he'll at least remember me as the girl who heard him burp. Enter Joe. Girl : Hi, Joe.

Along with the majorettes, these girls do two routines at the games and practice many hours weekly preparing for their field sliow. Among the eleven girls are four named "Susan," a coincidence which can obviously be very confusing at times. The strutters are headed by co-captains Laura Davis and Susan Rinehamer. The latter said that the girls are very enthusiastic and "the only problem is that they won't bring their shakers to practice." One of the girls, · Frieda Skaff, wasn't able to perform because of an injury. Despite this, she still came to practice and showed a lot of STRUTTER SQUAD-'Pbe Wilkes struUers provide entertainment at each football game when they perform enthusiasm. At this time she has their well-rehearsed routines on the field.

They also pointed out that their names are embroidered on them. Sue Rinehamer praised the crowd at Wilkes' games, saying, "they make us feel we're doing something worthwhile," and also complimented the band, and especially Mr. Weber. Other squad members agreed with her, and stressed that he is very cooperative. Cooperation is a key word to use when describing the strutters, majorettes and cheerleaders. They work together as members of the Women's Athletic Association and support each other on the football field. The three squads are planning a special routine for the last home game in honor of the bicentennial. They will perform on the field in red, : white and blue outfits while the band plays a medley of bicentennial ' tunes. Strutter tryouts will be held this month. Prospective members of the , squad are judged by their . performance in two routines and marching.

But the 17-6 win over the Colonels has possibly given him a little breathing room to work with now, and he may well be around to see yet another season. It seems that college alumni and administration at the Selinsgrove institution aren't too pleased with the job that the 55-year--0ld mentor has been doing this campaign, and rumors were circulating around that he would be out of a job very soon. LIKE WILKES, THE Crusaders were also expected to do big things this year. Thirty lettermen were returning from a team that went 4-5-1 in 1974. But among those five losses were some very close contests. Westminster beat them by seven. Albright by five, Wilkes by a mere two after a fifty yard Crusader field goal fell short by two yards, and Waynesburg by one. So you can see why there was a considerable amount of anticipation down there for a winner. · But what is expected, and what actually is attained are two very different things, as Wilkes can tell you only too well. They opened the year with a loss to Grove City, aii.d kept going down hill from there, until they finally pulled out a win two weeks ago against Lycoming. A 1-6 log was a long way from the 7-0 that they were shooting at. So, a dejected Susquehanna team, and an all-but crest fallen Wilkes unit clashed Saturday in a game of "pride." There was only one difference. A win b)-'. the _Crusaders would mean something. Wilkes, despite being 2-3, was still Wilkes; a team feared and looked up to in MAC football circles. For Wilkes, beating Susquehanna seemed little consolation after what had happened the two preceding weekends. And on that note, Hazlett went back to Selinsgrove carrying his shield in victory, instead of carrying an unemployment check in defeat.

Double entertainment awaits Wilkes students tomorrow night when Leslie West and Slade appear in the gym for an 8:30 concert. A slight conflict arose between the athletic department and Charlie Munson, vice-president of the. Student government, about the use of the gym for the concert. According to Acting President Robert S. Capin, " There was a dispute about the scheduling of the gym, but it has been reconciled." West, the show's headliner, is well-known for his involvement with Mountain, the group which is popular for its hit, " Mississippi Queen." West was the lead guitarist and vocalist for the group. Slade, a four member group, will be the first performance. According to Rico Ginanni of Fang Productions, " Slade was the number one band in England and is now attempting to achieve the same in the United States." Munson said that the group "was supposed to be another Beatles and is still trying to break into the American market with its type of hard-rock music. " Tickets for the performance may be obtained in the SG office on the second floor of Weckesser today from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and tomorrow from 1 to 5 p.m . Students must be present with the I.D. in order to purchase the ticket for a reduced price of $4.50. SG is subsidizing each ticket $1, while Fang productions is subsidizing $.50 a ticket.

All v iews ex pressed in letters to the ed itor, columns, and viewµo in ts are t hose of the indi v idual wr iter, not necessari l y of the public ation . , Everyone seems to believe, in private, that the presidency of a college or university is an impossible job to fill. The usual search committee can agree on the job description, but at the same time they are convinced that (1) whoever they pick will be W1worthy of the institution and ( 2) they do not want anyone who will ever appear on campus. Typically, the job description does not acknowledge what everyone knows: no one connected with the institution wants a president to do the job described. The faculty does not want a leader in curriculwn reform; the trustees do not want better management if it threatens such pet programs as intercollegiate athletics; and the students do not want to be straightened out by the president - which is what the alumni want him to do. The characteristics mentioned in · the typical job description divide into two clusters, those that would qualify the candidate for canonization and those that would make him a multimillionaire in the business world. However, if no one wants the president to appear on campus except for occasional visits, the second cluster of qualities, the management skills, are irrelevant to the job. That leaves as the crucial qualities required of a new president the hwnane gifts · - sensitivity, awareness, appreciation, flexibility that make for an effective spokesperson for higher education but .have no practical consequence for the day-to-day running of an institution. We may go further and argue that even these qualities are not important for the presidency; here we can follow the advice of Machiavelli that "a prince ... need not necessarily have all the good qualities . .. but he should certainly appear to have them. " A search committee that accepts the logic of this argument has its job immeasurably simplified: hire an actor as president. The job description might read , something like this: "Wanted, character actor with wide experience playing professional roles. Should be six feet or taller, have slim athletic build, look good in tweeds and casual sport clothes. Some skill in tennis, squash, skiing helpful. Must be able to read aloud with_ W1derstated deep_conviction, memorize parts quickly, ·have good memory for names, faces, quotations from Shakespeare, · enjoy touring. Some possibility of improvisational and ad lib performances after first year." There are drawbacks to the plan. One is that with so cleat a job description for the president, it would be harder to blame him for the inadequacies of the faculty, administration, and student' body and harder to keep him happy in W1congenial working conditions. A g9()d actor with a strong script could move from the provinces to the big time very easily. Also, some colleges might actually recognize that they need leadership from a president, that their need is vision rather than appearance. If an institution looking for a president should come to the conclusion that it needs more than a persuasive front man, it will have to eschew the beauties of this plan and try to find someone who genuinely has vision, energy, drive, and capacity to lead. And to persuade such a person to be president, the college will have to explain why anyone with all the required qualities should think of wasting them on a presidency. To demand all those management skills, the institution will have to demonstrate that it is willing and able to be managed; to expect all those good, humane qualities, it will have to demonstrate that it knows how to treat its leaders humanely, that its faculty, students, trustees, and alumni have a modicum of that sensitivity, openness, and understanding .being demanded of the new president. And before being able to make demands of the new president, the institution's members will have to answer his question, ~'What 's in it for me?

ART EXHIBIT-James Castanzo, a senior Fine Arts major, will exhibit a collection of his art in the Conyngham Gallery from Sunday, November 16, to Tuesday, November 25. The exhibit will feature oil paintings, watercolors, prints and sculpture. A print of "a man seated under an umbrella" is Castanzo's favorite piece. "Of all the prints I did," he said, "that one worked right from the start." He said his favorite medium is linoleum, because "you can get more spontaneous results than from other areas." Most of the work iii the exhibit will be what he has done on his own and -not what he has done in class. By the time the exhibit starts, Castanzo said he will have been preparing for two months. Castanzo works for an advertising agency and is also a defensive . end and tackle for the Wilkes College football team.

It's that time of the year again, friends, wher_i we decide what courses we want and we have to settle for what courses ,they have left. Registration wasn't hard at all for me this year. Being a-' bi~ senior, I just walked into the S.U.B., told them what courses I wanteg apd if they didn't have them, to invent them. Of course I got a lot of funny looks but I'll tell ya - it's a good thing they offered student teaching or my congressman would have heard about it. ·· · But for you poor underclassmen, I realize the whole process can get' pretty frustrating. 1 remember standing in line back in my sophomore days: • Me: Here's my pre-registration form. Give me my cards and let me out of hete. l'm skipping my favorite class with that cute guy in it to register so this better be worthwhile. Lady: I'm sorry. You'll have to go back and put your section letters ·on this form. It is incomplete. So I dug through all my papers to find my master schedule and I put the section letters down. Then I headed back to the end of the line which by this · time was backed up down the alley by the library. Finally I got there again. Me: Here I am again, Lady - complete with section letters. What can you do for me? . Lady: I'm sorry. You'll have to go back and put your times on this form. It is incomplete. · Me: Sure, Lady. Should I get you a cup of coffee while.I'm out? So I went back to the end of the line. (By this time I'd missed two classes, lunch and a dentist appointment - but who was counting?) Then I made it back to the front of the line again. My hair strewn all over my face, panting from dehydration, I presented my paper worn with age. Me: C'mon Lady - cut me a break - did I do it right this time? Lady: I'm sorry. You'll have to go back and get your advisor's signature on this form. It is incomplete. ·· Me: But he signed it. Can't you see his "X" there? · She wouldn't believe me so I had to go hunt for my advisor. I could have forged it myself, I guess, but I would have lost sleep over it. ( I have the best conscience in town.) I found him and quickly returned. Me: O.K. lady this is it. I'm set this time. Just give me the cards. I'm due at the hospital at 2 o'clock for rest and recuperation. Lady: I'm sorry. Your . biology is closed, your sociology class is overcrowded, your Spanish isn't offered, your speech is at another time, and your English is non-existent. Me: What do you suggest I do? . Lady: Change your major or transfer to King's for a semester. It wasn't her fault that I goofed the whole thing up, but we always have to blame someorie else for our mistakes. Well, to make a long story short, · a:fter she saw the wild look in my eyes she jiggled a couple of things around and I finally got my courses.

The Colonels travelled to Misericordia for another very tough and tiring game. Wilkes lacked " Zip" throughout the game , but they were on attack most of the time. The girls wanted a victory and battled right to the very end, winning 1-0. THE HIGHLANDERS OF Misericorida were out for the Colonels hide, and as a result many shins and ankles took a severe beating. The defense, however, never yielded to the high pressure, and fine performances were turned in by Nancy Roberts, Jean Johnson and Kim Flis. The lone Blue and Gold goal was scored by senior co-captain Susan Funke, assisted by freshman Cathy Yozwiak. On Wednesday, the Colonels had a chance to attain a perfect league record as they went against a strong team from Marywood at the latter 's home field. The Blue and Gold took a strong 3-0 halftime lead, but the Wilkes Gay Meyers said, " This team was a girls were all battered and taped-up pleasure to work with.

The games that were played were meaningless, since all playoff positions were decided upon by last Thursday. Three teams from each division will participate in the playoffs . The American division will be represented by the New Raiders, Dirksen and Butler , in that order. Representing the National division will be Dennison, F ritz Wheelers and the Rams. The Riders will enter the playoffs with an unblemished record, a 100 point offense led by Vince Trentlange, and a league leading defense. that has been scored upon only once. The Riders have had their success tabbed as being a result of their relatively weaker division, !Jut with talent like Bob Armstrung, Nick Lazorak and Mike Menichini this team is sure to cause concern in the playoff circle.

The Wheelers have shown themselves to be a very explosive team, in more ways than one, and should have little trouble with Butler. On Wednesday, the Riders will play on the first round winners. The Dennison squad will take on the first round winner on Thursday. The playoff games will be set up so tbat the teams playing will be seeing each other for the first time. Two teams in the game division may only meet in the championship game, which will be played next Friday.

A few months ago, the 20-year--0ld junior quarterback from Westmoreland City wasn't sure if he would ever lead a normal life again, let alone play football. With pre-season practice only two weeks away, Wicherowski was stricken ill, and doctors discovered a hole in his heart. Suddenly, football didn't seeni so important to Wicherowski, as he battled for his very life. Doctors worked hard and quick to find a solution to the problem, and finally managed to burn the opening closed. A month later, he was back on the gridiron, and taking charge of the Indian offense. Wicherowski has learned a lot over the past few months, and has done a lifetime of ~rowing in a very brief time. He battled death and won, and last weekend, given a second chance by the Almighty, he battled the Colonels and won once again. Our hats are off to college football 's " comeback player of the year. '' SCRIMMAGE NOTES Just a few notes on last Friday's Wilkes-Bucknell wrestling scrimmage. LONNY BALUM, who will be wrestling at 134 pounds this season, sent one Bucknell grappler to the locker room with an injury, and pinned another. Now that he won 't have to worry about dropping weight, it appears he has fo und his freshman form (NCAA Division III third place finisher ) once again ... RICK MAHONSKI is back in action once again after a year layoff because of injuries. He lost to his Bucknell opponent, who was one of their best lightweights, but he still was impressive.

" If After 22 years of hard work and determina tin, Wilkes' own Mohammad; John Reese, stands before the one peak that he and his wrestlers have yet to surmount-wrestling in the NCAA University Division. The challenge is there, and the Reesemen have always risen to the occasion, and this year should prove no different. Gone are the days of the MAC tournament, where1t was not uncor:nmon to find nine or ten blue and gold _grapplers reach the finals every year. Bring on Oklahoma, Navy, Lehigh, Iowa and Oregon State. ' STARTING IN 1946 with only six . wrestlers, Wilkes has steadily built itself into a small-college wrestling powerhouse. Instrumental in this rise to national prominence was the hiring of John Reese as wrestling coach in 1953. Reese has brought his troops along slowly. First he scheduled scrimmages with larger schools. As the team progressed, some of these schools were added to the Colonels regular season schedule. · Finally, as the blue a·nd gold established themselves as a smallcollege power, some of the best wrestling schools in the country _were booked on their calendar. This was capped off by a meet with the University of Oklahoma at Wilkes' own gym in 1974, the year the Sooners were national champs. HOW DOES REESE continue to provide superior teams year after year? The coach had several reasons. The primary ingredient is, of course, quality wrestlers. " Many kids are looking for a small school, which offers a top notch wrestling schedule," he said. "We fill both of these requirements here at Wilkes and have been fortunate to recruit some talented kids." The coach himself is also drawing card, since Reese is considered one of the top wrestling coachs in the country. His a knowledge of the sport is surp, 5sed by few. What this all adds up to is as fine a wrestling program as you can find anywhere. But the challenge facing them this season is still awesome. Wilkes enters the UniveristyDivision as a dwarf among giants. MOST OF THE schools in this division have enrollments of at least ten times that of Wilkes. The local institution will be the smallest school competing in the tough eastern regionals next March; a tournament it will have to wrestle through to qualify for the nationals. The coach and the team have never been more enthusiastic, however. Reese added, "As a coach, you don't have to do much to get a team up for a match against Lehigh or Navy. The kids are proud of themselves and want to show these bigger schools just how good they are. "It looks to be a surprising and promising year. The brawn and the brains are there. With a little luck, who knows ? Mountains have bee•1 known to fall. Cage Coach's Dream To Become A 'Running' Reality This Season Ever since he took the head coaching job here at Wilkes four years ago, Rodger Bearde has had dreams of tutoring a "running " basketball team. As he slept, he continually visualized one of his players sweeping a rebound off the defensive backboard, and executing the perfect outlet pass all in one motion. Then, the break down the floor, and finally the two point layup. It was Bearde's brand of basketball ; fast, moving, and perfectly executed. . But one look around, brought him out of the dream world and back to '. reality . He defintely had talented ballplayers in Steve Ference, Clarence Ozgo, and Greg Buzinski, who became the nucleus around which Bearde built his early success story. But they weren't the running breaking type of ballplayers the 35 year old men tor visualized in his dreams. SO, HE INSTITUTED a slow, deliberate style of offense to suit the personnel he had, and waited for another day; another era. Well, the waiting is over! Left from the Ference, et al era are solid cagers like Jack Brabant, Frank Britt, Kenny Hughes, and Bob Welch, and just coming onto the scene ar-e the best crop of freshmen in Colonel cage history. Suddenly, Bearde's dreams have turned into reality. " We certainly have the personnel to do a bit more running and breaking this year," he explained, "and while we're not just going to abandon our deliberate offense for the "run and gun" type, we will have a lot more movement this year." Last season gave the first hint of the Colonel changeover. Bearde went to New York City in search of READY FOR THE CHALLENGE - The task awaiting John Reese and c?mpa~y is ! monum~ntal one, but the Colonels have possibly the best giant-killers m the busm~ss.

By Mary Ellen Alu and Wilma Hurst Foderaro, · who was present at the concert, said, " They were probably carry-overs from previous weekends." Munson, however, believed that discontent arose over the opening band. "They weren't very good," he said. " The crowd came to see Slade and Leslie West, not the Van Allan Belt." He added that there was a long set up time before Slade appeared, which probably increased tensions in the crowd. "Slade also seemed to stir the crowd more than they were."

The concerts "were begun on an experimental basis," said Acting President Rooert S. Capin, and it was agreed that "if there was any adverse publicity, we'd have to re look the situation." According to Charlie Munson, SG vice-president and chairman of the concert committee, about eight fights broke out at the gym. "One gentleman was removed carrying a hammer. '' Windows were also broken, the gym floor was scarred by burn marks, and beer cans and liquor bottles littered the floor. He added, "In general, the audience was terrible. There was a lot of drinking, and a lot of dope smoking." Munson said that the Fang security men, who are instructed not to fight anyone, attempted to keep order, but the "group antagonized the guards. They had no choice but to defend themselves."

"Edith," as she calls the portrait, was a lady in one of her, courses who was a · good pose and had nice skin colors. Christine is holding a lithograph. ·'I just call it blocks," she said. "I was trying to get different shades of gray and black and by stacking the blocks, I got the effect of shadows." . On the floor is a watercolor of a barn in Dallas which she painted from a photograph. Pointing out the problems of painting from a photo, she said, "A picture sort of lies; it puts colors in that are not there." Since art work requires a lot of time, enthusiasm, and technical knowledge, Christine sometimes is inspired by a passage she once read, "The painter paints life with the palette of the inner eye." "I try to portray myself into my work," Christine explained. "It's soft but to the point. It's structured and I think I am too." "I let my imagination run away,'; she added, " to an extent that you know what it is, but it's me." Christine-, who usually tries to accomplish "the basics with color, design, and shape, wishes to teach art after graduation or possibly further her education. · Moods In Leather FRYE BOOTS. 91 S. Main St. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 717-829-1089 By Lisa Waznik If you think that "Hot 1 Baltimore" is just another show in the television series, you are seriously mistaken. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, November 20-23, the Wilkes College Theatre Department will present Lanford Wilson's contemporary stage play in the Center for the Peforming Arts. The play is unlike the television series in many ways, most significantly, the stage presentation is not a comedy. In fact, the play has no plot but is instead a character study of the people in the hotel. The playwright developed the idea for the presentation from his belief that trains no longer ar.e used as they used to be. He hated air travel because it was too hurried and does not permit viewing from the countryside. Similarly America is too hurried. It is no longer what it used to be. The country no longer appreciates what used to be important. In this light, the Wilkes cast has decided to emphasize that America has become an apathetic society forgetting the past, hurrying by life and allowing our lives and society to crumble. ' f\s the "E" in the hotel sign has fallen out, so are the lives of the hotel's society which led to the decision not to censor the play's dialogue. Just as you would not add or subtract from an artist's finished painting you would not change the original script of the author. He m~ant for the script to be as real as · . possible. As Jay E. Fields, the director , says, "When you try to take away from reality, it is only one more symbol of what society has stooped to do ." Lanford Wilson wrote the play with 15 acquaintances in mind. In fact, Conchetta Ferra!, who plays "April:' in the off-Broadway production, wrote her own part in the play. " You can't change or take away from real character. Profanity is only used when the individual is ; pushed beyond his limit as are the I characters in "Hot l Baltimore," Mr. Fields says. The student cast is involved in the production as much as the .original actors are. The students have viewed the play in New York and have also studied · the history of Baltimore to get a better background. To get the feel of hotel life, the entire cast visited Wilkes-Barre's Fort Durkee Hotel on Public Square. They examined the rooms, sat in the lobby, and talked to some of its ancient borders. They have also studied other old, crumbling buildings in the area. Pricilla Wnuk, who plays "April" in the Wilkes version, is a newcomer to the theatre. A housewife and mother of two children, she had never before even seen a live performance, much less land the lead in a production. She says she was drawn to the character. After spending as much as 15 hours rehearsing for her husband in the studio, she has come very far in her role. · Wh.e n the cast went to New York, they had an opportunity to talk with ,. the actors and actresses in the play . Some cast members were deeply moved ai;id had to be assured by an actress that it was only a play. Fields explains that. this particuJar play was chosen for two reasons. The Theatre Department has scheduled Ameri<;an plays this year as a bicentennial observance. "Hot 1 Baltimore" is a play about America and what it has become. The "pro-American" playwright is only showing what he doesn't want to happen. The other reason for the presentation is that this play shows us where the theatre is today. Just · as "Three Men on a Horse" depicted life in the 1930's, "Hot l Baltimore" is America today. That is the main reason it won the 1973 Drama Critics Award for the best American play. Fields, who spent two weeks with the cast just discussing ideas to aid in each actor's portrayal, has also seen the off-Broadway show five· times and has taken notes on every presentation. He feels that student actors can do a better job than "adults" because they have a better ability to accept people for what they are and for what they should be. He hopes the "dirty words", will not blot out the true meaning and turn people off. He only asks viewers to give it a chance . . .:Reg_ i stration Viewed By Freshmen ByCattiy Hotchkiss Pre-registration and registration, who needs them? This seems to be the major sentiments among the freshmen interviewed in the Commons during the past week. Some freshmen have already formed an opinion about the evils of pre-registration and registration before they have had to cope with the special problems they bring. Some don't even know what !hey are. Others are already pre-registered and awaiting the great day -of the great line and last minute schedule changes that are a part of being at the bottom of the totem pole. Here are a few of the gems from among the definitions of pre-registration and registration as seen through the eyes of freshmen. "It stink,s! You have to stand there and you don't get what you want anyway," says one wise freshman English major. Another English major had these words to say: "I only registered once, but when I did, I found it to be quite chaotic." It wasn't only the English majors that felt this way. An economics major said, "It's enough to drive you insane! " And a chemistry major called it a · " very frustrating and disappointing experience." "It's probably the worst part of your college experience," wer.e- the 1 words of a music major. These students all seemed to know the evils and frustrations of registration and talked mostly about "It." But there were also those who didn't worry about registration. One ·of these was Robyn StanczyK, an English major, who answered the . . . . ? question with: "I think it's cool.,, regis~rat10n . and pre-registrat~on. Another student in this category a .They_ re a .1oke, one I consider th an Dr· Sours 'Hairy Psychology ma1· or ' Coreen Milaz~o ' funmer Mary' " answered, "I have no idea what they · For the most part, freshmen are .," Aft er she was gree t e d wi•th · tr t· · d · t t· · laughter from her table. in the pre-regis a wn an ~egis ra wn are Commons, she said, "I'm serious!" lo~k~d upon as a pam, a necessary and joined in the laughter. evil if yo':1 want tog~ to college and that lillproves when Th en th ere was th e oId envy of th e an experience h th · 1 tat f freshman for the status of the senior ~~~i;;ac e magica s us O a and the heaven of being at the top of · the totem pole for a change. Andrea Kizis, a sociology major, summed it up this way. "It's a hassle, that's what it is. For a freshman, some of the classes are closed most of the time, but for the seniors have first choice and usually get the classes they want." The Wilkes College C-0ncert and "I wish I were a senior so I could Lecture series will present its sixth get what I want without waiting presentation of the season on forever and changing everything Tuesday, December 2, at 2 and 8 around when I get through the line," p.m. in the Center for the we're the words of Jodie Beckus, and Performing Arts, . featuring . the English major.

However, pavement excavations will be temporarily blacktopped. Work on the project will resume ~arly in January, with the expected completion date set for April 15. The West Northampton Street project involves the replacement of storm and sanitary sewers and sidewalks, the installation of a new concrete· base for the road where excavations were made , the repaving of the street, and the planting of several trees along the curbline. Also, several utilities are upgrading their lines on West Northampton Street at the same time. Pennsylvania Power and Light Company is installing underground electric lines to replace its utility Roles, and Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company is replacing portions of its gas and water mains. However, financial difficulties prevent the Wilkes-Barre Steam Heat Company from replacing its lines on the street, which are reportedly in relatively good condition despite their age. In other road reconstruction developments, an unexpected pavement cut was made Sunday on South River Street near P~rrish Hall for the replacement of gas lines by PG&W. The William Heck Construction Company, contractors for the utility , is installing plastic piping on the east side of the street, working southward from Hotel Sterling . The work is being done in the evening and on weekends to reduce traffic disruptions on the vital roadway, since the laying of new storm sewer lines on the west side of the street by contractors for the Redevelopment Authority ties up one lane of traffic.

Of course there will always be personality conflicts, but it seems, this year especially, that students are asking for room changes because of petty excuses. They did not give it a chance. A Big Adjustment However, there are two girls on campus who have lived together for three years. What is their secret? "It is a big adjustment having a roommate .. . especially if you are not used to living with another person," explains Kathy Tilt, a senior living in Weiss Hall. "It is very important for the two people to compromise, and if you can't compromise by the time you are 18, then you are just spoiled," continued the elementary education major. Kathy's roommate is B.J. bey, also a senior education major. " I guess the reason why Kathy and I have made it as roommates is because we both realize that it is our room. Also we always talk out our problems . . . - we have to compromise and cooperate with each other. It all ,adds up to a happy environment, " said the blond coed. One wonders how they can do it. What happens when they have a fight? According to the student teachers, who are both educating children at the 3rd Avenue School in Kingston, they never hold a grudge. " As long as I can remember, we never have had a fight last longer than a day. We discuss the problems and the next day the whole incident is forgotten,'' affirmed B.J. , who is a native of Schnectady, New York. Kathy agrees. "We blow up and we exchange words, then five minutes later it is forgotten. We don't believe in holding grudges and we get everything out in the open."

New Cheerleaders Chosen Last Week The cheerleader squad gained five permanent and three new members after tryouts were held last week. Four sophomores and a junior made the squad for the second time, while three freshmen became new members on a temporary basis. The atmosphere at the gym last Wednesday night was filled with tension and anticipation as over a dozen girls did some last-minute cheers and tried not to look nervous. Fourteen girls were judged on their cheerleading ability, which includes poise, appearance, voice, coordination and enthusiasm. Cheers were done in groups of three and the girls also performed several cheers individually. Many of the cheers included splits, rolls and cartwheels, and , every girl was required to perform a jump and a cheer that she created. The judges Gateway Peanut .

Their "trainer", Rodger Bearde has drilled them well, and he is fully aware that his thoroughbred has probably more ability than any previous steed bred in the Wilkes stables. But youth and immaturity are a great equalizer out of the gates, and Bearde is approaching the race with caution. "THE TALENT IS definitely there," Bearde explained. " And I just hope we can overcome first year mistakes in =·=· the early going." :::: Bearde's concern is certainly justified. Entering his Sophomore letterman Bob Welch leads the list of candidates, who are battling for the two starting wing berths on the team. While perhaps not the best defensive player the Colonels have, Welch's shooting has more than compensated for the other flaw. "There is no doubting that Bobby is a great shooter, " Bearde admits. And right now, he is trying to adjust defensively to the move to a wing. If he can do that, we'll · be in good shape.

NEWS ITEM: ALBRIGHT'S IN Wilkes thought big, and came away with nothing. Albright thought small, and right now has the opportunity during the next three weekends to come away with everything, including a national championship. Albright, a football team that was a decided underdog to the Colonels in the Middle Atlantic Conference " Northern Division" race earlier this year, was. notified Monday that they have been selected to participate in the NCAA Division III post-season playoffs. The Lions are one of eight teams that will be vying for a berth in the Dec. 6, national championship game in Phenix City, Alabama. Other schools selected were MAC "Southern Division" champion Wi~ener, Ithaca, Fort Valley College (Macon, Ga.), Wittenberg, (Ohio ), Indiana Central, Colorado College, and Milsaps (Miss.). In the quarterfinals, which will be held Saturday, Albright travels to Widener, Fort Valley will be at Ithaca, Indiana Central visits Wittenberg, and Milsaps takes a long trip to Colorado. It's been quite a year for Albright. No one even gave them half a chance in the MAC race. Pre-season prognastications had Wilkes as a shoe-in, with possibly a slight challenge from Susquehanna. But Albright? They didn't stand a chance, critics said. Fact is, they did stand a great chim<;e, and with no one believing in them but themselves, they went out and battled the odds, and came away a champion. Maybe they were a better team than Wilkes a month back, and maybe they weren't. But when the final whistle blew, the Lions had a 20-14 victory, a Middle Atlantic Conference championship, and one foot in the . post-season playoff door. It took them one week after their victory over Rollie .Schmidt's crew, to move into the NCAA Division III top ten, and from there, it was clear sailing . Just to make sure however, they scored a one-sided 56-o win last weekend over hapless Upsala College. Had a playoff berth not been staring them in the face, the final might have been 35-14. But making a good impression is important in playoff selection. Now it's a whole new ball game. SIDEBARS: While it is not official, rumor has it Albright almost got overlooked in the selection process. California Lutheran College was offered a playoff berth, but they were using five ineligible players on their team . The NCAA offered a referendum : get rid of the ineligibles and comp~te, or keep them and sit it out. They preferred to sit it out.. .chances are that if Wilkes would have beaten Albright, they still would not have received a tourney berth. The selection committee frowns on t wo teams who have already played each other being in the same tournament, and with Ithaca in, and already displaying a lop-sided victory over the Colonels, it would have been doubtful. Solution: get Ithaca off the schedule. �November 20, 1975 Page8 WINTER SPORTS PRE-VIEW · ISSUE WRESTLING BASKETBALL SWIMMING ••• Steve Leskiw Named Diamond All-American BY PAUL DOMOWITCH There have been only three All-Americans in Wilkes College sports annals. Now there is a fourth. Steve "Winky" Leskiw, a hard hitting outfielder for the Colonel baseball team,., was notified recently that he has been selected to the 1975 small-college All-American baseball w1it-first team. LESKIW IS THE first Blue and Gold diamondman in tw,tory to receive All-American acclaim from tlle National Collegiate Athletic Association. Two Wilkes performers were s£'1ected to the NCAA Regional All-Star team; Dave Kaschak in 1971, and Marty Pobutikiewicz in 1974, but neither rated national merit. "It's a great honor for Steve," his coach, Gene Domzalski explained, "and one he truly deserves. What makes his selection even more · impressive is that the all-star team takes in both Division II and III of the NCAA." The last all-american at Wilkes was football player Jeff Grandinetti back in 1973. Preceding him were soccer star Ed Manda in 1966, and another gridder, Joe Gallagher back in 1948. IN ADDITION, SEVEN Blue and Gold wrestlers have captured national championships. The All-American Selection Committee is composed of coaches and sports writers from across the a player, his credentials speak for themselves. He hit .410 last season, in guiding the Colonels to a 14-4 season, and was among the nation 's collegiate leaders in slugging percentage with an .869 average. In addition, he led the team in runs batted in with 24, homeruns with five, triples with five, walks with 13, and was second in base hits with 25. HIS ATHLETIC TALENTS do not end on the baseball diamond either. An All-MAC linebacker for the Colonel football team, the stocky 6-0, 215-pounder has led the team in tackles the past two campaigns. His leadership _qualities are quite evident, and the players responded to this. He was grid co-captain this past season, and will captain the nation. While they seek to honor players that excell in all facets of the game of baseball, they also seek recognition for the well-rounded sfudent-athlete. Leskiw certainly fits that mold. As · baseball squad come spring. The entire 1975 small-college All-American squad is : first base-Steve Ryan, senior, Widener (Pa.); second base-Gary Banta, junior, Montclair State (N.J.) ; third base-Bain Pollard, junior, Colby (Maine) ; shortstop-Larry Beck, senior, Otterbein (Ohio ); outfielders, Jim Lester, senior, Maryville (Tenn.); Leskiw; and Robert Blakley, sophomore, S.

The floor was damaged by burn marks during the recent concert, and sanding and revarnishing accollilt for a large portion of the bill. The agr.eement conceming the concert was made between Fang Productions and Student Government, not the college itself. SG is solely responsible for collecting the money from Fang, according to Dean Baltruchitis, SG's advisor.

Fang did not purchase the amount of insurance specified, but actually bought less than · one third of the amount. It was rep?rted that Fang was llilable to obtam that amount from its insurance company and that 1t did m fact try lliltil the day of the concert to do so. It was also reported that Fang's insurance probably won't pay for the damages to the floor, and if an agreement cannot be worked out with Fang, SG will have to either pay the bill itself or take the matter to court. A committee of SG members has been formed to work on the problem. Dean Baltruchitis pointed. out several other items in his memorandum, including the fact that the agreement was not notarized and a floor covering was not provided by SG as agreed in the concert contract. He states that the bmdmg agreement was drawn up to give SG the responsi~ility for administering concerts m the gym and·also to protect the college. In his opinion, SG placed the college in a precarious position to collect damages by not notarizing the agreement. Baltruchitis does not blame Fang Productions, but does cite the inability of SG to administer concerts in the gym. He concludes by stating to SG, " If the current pattern of irresponsibility continues, I could only recommend to my colleagues that no concerts be held in the gym.

The squads began training prospective new members, held tryouts shortly after the last football game, and elected new captains. Tryouts for majorettes a nd strutters were held on the same night fo r both permanent and temporary members. As with most tryouts, everyone tried her best to look calm, smile convincingly, and still perform the difficult routines correctly - all without letting anyone know how nervous she really was. And as usual, almost everyone did just that. During tryouts, the strutters formed small groups and performed one routine that was taught to them, one each group creatw:l itself, and were also judged as they marched. Maria Baloga, Suzie Pudlosky, Frieda Skaff, Susan Suchocki and Susan Fichera became permanent members, making the squad for the second time.

For Old Folks The Theta Delta Rho Sorority will sponsor a Christmas party for elderly people from area nursing homes today at 2:00 p.m. in McClintock Hall. The annual party held by the sorority is called the "Golden Agers Party." Various committees set up within the club are responsible for decorations in McClintock Hall, refreshments and gifts for the convalescent home residents. A special feature of the party will be a visit from old Saint Nick himself, better known as Dean Ralston in costume. In the words of the president, Pattie Kozick, "Dean Ralston carries a laundry bag on his back and brings the presents for the guests." The rest of the afternoon will be spent singing Christmas carols and talking with the older people . Four nursing homes have been : invited to the party this year. They are the Leader Nursing ,Home, _Wattles Nursing Home, Hampton House, and Sunnyside Nursing Home. The residents are transported from the various homes by bus. This "Golden Agers Party" is an annual event sponsored by the sorority every year. It is in fact one of their biggest events all year and takes a lot of time and effort on the part of the girls in charge. An upcoming event is the Junior project, a Christmas party for the sorority girls on Sunday, December 28. After the term break they will sponsor a fudge and brownie sale on Tuesday, February 3, in the Commons. The biggest event of the year for the TDR Sorority will be the Dinner Dance on Saturday, February 20, at the Treadway Inn. :-:•:-:-·•·- OFFICERS - Pictured above are the eight officers of the Theta Delta Rho Sorority.

It mar ks the third straigl; 1, Engineer win over Wilkes, since _the rivalry was inaugurated in 1973. FRESHMAN MA'IT SIMONE got the Colonels out in front early, with a convincing 9-2 decision over the Engineer's Steve Turgeon. Simone wasted little time taking the lead, with the first period take down, and never relinquished that advantage. Simone put Turgeon on his back early in the second period, but couldn't finish the job. RICK MAHONSKI MET his long awaited return to action in the second bout of the night, and kept his team out in front by battling to a 4-4 draw with Eastern Champ Lance Leonhardt, in one of the best match-ups in the evening. The Blue and Gold 126-pounder went out in front with the second period reversal, and held that lead until Leonhardt did the same to him with two minutes and five seconds left in the bout. After allowing Mahonski to escape, Leonhardt took him down with only 30 seconds left, but Mahonski utilized a riding time . hue. Sl.d.,e 1l·ned TY/·th A n kle LnJ·u ,:y Dona . ,r l The buzzer had sounded in the Colonel gymnasiwn Monday night. signaling Wilkes' 71-59 basketball demise at the hands of Lock Haven State. But hard luck came in pairs that evening for the Blue and Gold, and the worst loss was yet to come. Lying at midcourt, writhing in pain was guard Tom Donahue. The 5-10 junior, playing in only his first collegiate debut, and several other Colonels had flashes of brilliance. But Bearde's pre-season concerns over inexperience and the relatively little time that most of his team has played together as a unit, were justified. STILL, THE COLONElS, with 6-4 forward Jack Brabant hampered by a pulled muscle in his knee, and game as a Wilkes cager, had captured the hearts of the less than capacity crowd that looked on, with his sensational play. But now, he was holding his injured ankle, as coach Rodger Bearde rushed to his side. AT FIRST, IT was feared that Donahue's ankle might be broken, but a later indication was that cartlidges in the foot may just have been stretched. Still, the injury is expected to keep him out of action for a few weeks or more. There was not much to cheer about in the opening day loss, but Donahue, a transfer from Luzerne County Community College had the fans on their feet time and time again, with some of the best moves this side of Walt Frazier. Working from his point position in the Blue and . Gold offense, the Hazleton product drove, shot, and dribbled his way through bewildered Lock Haven defenders for 15 points. And while he may not be ready to challenge Clyde, he initiated almost all of the excitment in a below average Colonel team performance. It didn't take anyone long to realize that the Colonels have plenty of talent. Freshman Kendall McNeil banged home 16 points in his playing at less than 50 percent efficiency, almost pulled the game out tying it at 51 all, after being down by as much as 17 t)oints. But Monday's defeat is not what's bothering Bearde. The immediate future is his primary concern right now. The Colonel's opened conference play last night against Delaware Valley, and have two other tough MAC foes, Philadelphia Textile and Susquehanna staring them in the face next week. And without Donahue, they are going to be hurting. " It's just unbelievable what has happened, " Bearde said in disgust. " We played Jack too much as it was Mondaywithhisinjury,andnowthis happening to Tommy." Two months ago, depth at the guard position was the least of Bearde's problems. Now, a lack of it may shoot his team's MAC playoff hopes down before they even get off the ground. DONAHUE WILL HOPEFULLy be back by the Scranton Holiday tournament, and sophomore Kenny Hughes, who was a starting backcourt performer last season, is expected to return to the lineup sometime in January.

The mermen and women of Coach Rick Marchant hope to do well in the meet and determine from the contest where their strengths and weaknesses lie for the coming season. The team will compete on Saturday without the diving of sophomore Cindy Glawe, who suffered a bead injury during practice. Cindy is recovering well, but will be out for some time, and the women's team will miss her stellar performance. Saturday's competition will be rugged. The Ursinus men's team finished in sixth place last season in MAC competition at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland, while the Ursinus women placed first in overall competition; beating their nearest competitor, Gettysburg by over 30 points. The swimmers will travel to Dickinson next Tuesday to compete with that team for the first time. On Friday December 12, Lock Haven State comes to the Aquadome for a 4 p.m. meet. Both of these contests will feature separate competition for men and women. Spectators are admitted to the Aquadome to see the action free of charge. The teams are captained by: men's - Garry Taroli and Paul Niedzwiecki, and women's - Lisa Waznik. , advantage to pull out of stalemate and gave Wilkes a 5-2 lead.

Sloand jumped out to a 8-3 lead on a near fall at the end of the second period, but Balum just did not quite make it, utilizing a reversal and near fall of his own to tie the bout at 10-all with just over a minute remaining . Sloand, who had appeared ready to fold, brought Balum down and put the finishing touches on his victory with a 2 point near faH. WILKES NEEDED A win desperately at 142, but sophomore Casper Tortella could not oblige, losing a 10-1 superior decision to the Engineer's Tihamer Toth-Fejel, to give Lehigh a 9-5 advantage in the match.

SG cannot really be considered one-sided because there is enough diversity in its membership to allow for a number of different opinions on any issue.

There is a chance that future concerts will be cancelled because of the last one Actually, if SG had stuck to its convictions, Leslie West and Slade would not have performed that F riday night, and the damages and resulting problems might not have occurred. The performance itself was held particularly responsible for the trouble because of the type of crowd it drew. SG members originally voted against West and Slade when it w_a s presented with a number of different possible concert line-ups. At that time they believed that the student body would not support a concert_of that kind. But due to a misunderstanding, Fang Productions signed that act for a concert and SG revoted and accepted the concert, even though it was not obligated in any way to do so. ~lthough members now said they beheved st~dents would attend the concert, \Yilkes students accounted for only 10 per cent of the audience. .

But don't overlook the fact that Homecoming and the Manilow concert were very successful, and the films sponsored by SG are also showing good signs. SG does not seem to have made very many positive, note-worthy achievements so far, but according to President Zeke Zaborney, the ideas are there and SG is "working in a positive manner. " Proposals are being written on academic issues such as -pass-fail courses, exemption from finals for seniors with a certain grade average, and possibly a decimal grading system. The parking problem is being worked on, and major social activities will be coming up next semester. SG promptly responded to critics who called for efforts to get students interested in SG meetings by placing posters around the campus. It's too bad the student body is suffering from a terminal case of apathy. While student governments at other colleges have been disbanded, used as figure heads, or have not been able to get quorums for meetings, this Student Government has a great deal of power, responsibility and interest. It has often been observed by other colleges because Diamonds ½ Price To Wilkes Students VANSCOY FJ Diamond Salon Open Mon. th ru Sat. 9:30 to 10:00 of its fine reputation. According to SG Advisor Dean Ed Baltruchitus, SG members are "trying to work for a positive goal. They occasionally go by the wayside and need a little direction back to the norm." A little more organization and bet_ter communication also seems to be m order, as many of the mistakes made were caused by inexperience and misunderstanding. It might also help if SG foc used on the important issues and did not waste so much time debating a bout jewelry sales and absentee policies that "don 't work" anyway. . Another interesting point is that issues seem to get lost in the shuffle. A proposal that met with opposition and was concerned with social requirements for clubs was to be rewritten and resubmitted the following week. That was six weeks ago. But S G IS trying, and while it does ~ake mistakes, hopefully it 's learn~g from them. Although the negatlve aspects sometimes seem to oversha~ow the positive ones, the outlook isn 't really so gloomy because SG has potential-its officers are s_incere and concerned and its members seem to be willing to work. Despite the mistake it has made it can still reach its full potential.

Although the council fulfilled its required duties, it seems to have been overcome by a plague of apathy. In some cases, the committees consisted of only the chairman. For example, the Halloween · party committee was planned and managed by Al Berger alone. Although Berger was perfectly capable, he lacked the necessary manpowedo back him up and thus the party resulted in overspending. Attendance at the meetings every Sunday night is also a problem, further illustrating the lack of interest and participation on the council. Despite these problems, however, IDC has managed to supply the students at Wilkes with some activities. They were listed by President Mike LoPresti at the December 7 meeting. Under social activities, the semester began with a dance in September, with Trix as the band. Then came the annual I.D.C.-C.C. Halloween Party, held in the gym This was only- the beginning soon the rest of their cohorts Came to the gathering complete with red hats and red shorts .

The college bulletin states, "In..:ompletes will be granted to students who, because of illness or reasons beyond · their control, have been unable to satisfy all course requirements including the final examination. When such a grade is given, the incomplete work must be made up by or before the end of the fourth week following the last day of the examination period." " If the incomplete is not removed within this time, or an extension of ,time granted by the instructor who gave the grade or by some other authorized person, and the Registrar's Office so notified, the grade will be changed to a zero on the student's record." .

It was stated that there have been instances when the faculty member who made up an exam was not present at the time it was given. However, it was mentioned that there were cases when the student had to ask th~ substitute proctor to clarify an essay question and was given an erroneous interpretation, resulting in a 15 or 20 point loss on the particular question. · · Dr. John Natzke read from his faculty handbook the section regarding exam proctoring which states that someone must be on hand to proctor the exam from the particular department in which the exam is given. It does not specifically mention that the particular . faculty member.,,who made up the exam . has to ~e on hand to administer it. A question was raised by Dave Davies, president of the senior class, as to whether or not the student could refuse to take an exam in such a case. Although no one had an answer at the time, Mrs. Darte, chairman of the committee, was looking into it. It was suggested that Mrs. Darte send a memo to department chairmen expressing the student concern and to request that the chairman review their department exam proctoring regulations as stated in ·the book. The second item for discussion was the faculty-student advisee system. There was a question of whether or not the faculty kept their office hours. One member stated that although the faculty were keeping their office hours, perhaps some advisors were ill-informed as to what the core requirements were and what requirements were in effect for their own departments. Dr. · Rees from the education department made the statement, "Education and Nursing departments have a wooksheet that clearly defines the requirements so that the at'lvisors don't pass out misinformation. " It was suggested that worksheets be passed out to other department chairmen as samples for setting up worksheets within them. It was requested that Mrs. Darte express this concern directly to President Capin and that this be an item on the agenda for the department head's meeting. Also -mentioned at the meeting was that each department maintain a bulletin board with career opportunities and suggestions for graduate schools if they don't already do so �December 11, 1975 The Beacon Page 10 ,: Grapplers Still Looking For First Open .Victory BY PAUL DOMOWITCH ' , ' 1 . • Frustration for John Reese is hosting the Wilkes Open wrestling tournament every year during the Christmas holidays, and every year watching somebody el:,e walk off with the championship trophy. On December 29, Reese and the Colonels will try once again to overcome this jinx, as some of the best wrestlers in the country matriculate to the S. Franklin St. gymnasium for the 42nd Open; the oldest event of its kind in the United States. · WILKES HAS COME close to winning the title the last few years, finishing second in 1970, '71, '72 and '73, but they have never won the very event that they play host to. However, days of the alsoran may come to an end later this month, if Reese can keep h~ present stock of grapplers out of the hospital and on the mats. Junior Mike Kassab, who became only the fifth Wilkes College wrestler to capture an individual title last December, won't be back to defend his title, since he's going under the knife to repair shoulder damage in early January. But other than that, things have never looked better. A rundown of the Open since 1970 illustrates the ongoing battle with frustration that Reese has had. 197~olonels finished second to the New York Athletic Club by 13 points in the team ·scoring. ·NY:AC had three individual .,:champions, while Wilkes had three wrestlers lose in the finals. Only head to head confrontation was NY AC's Rick Sofman, and the Colonel's Artie Trovei. Sofman beat him 16-2. Bob Roberts and Allain Arnould also made it to the championship round, but couldn't do it Roberts lost to King's College grappler Dan Mazzante, 12-7 in a big upset. Clarion's Wade Schalles makes his first appearance in the Open as a little-known freshman. Slippery Rock's Stan Dziedzic, who went on to capture the NCAA 158 pound title, pulverized the young Schalle!l 13-2. 1971-NY AC once again stands in the way of Reese's championship aspirations. Trovei, Roberts, and Al · Zellner all made it to the final round, but only the incomparable " Party Artie" could bring home a title. NYAC had four individual champs, and Slippery Rock's Dziedzic won again. Schalles didn't compete, and Clarion made very little noise finishing ninth. 1972-Wilkes finished ahead of NY AC by 2½ points in the team shndings. but Clarion leaned over both of them, winnmg the title over the runner-up Colonels by four points. For the third year in a row, Bobby Roberts made it mto the finals, lmt again lost-this time to Dan Monroe of East Carolina, 8-6. Jack Spates of Slippery Rock, who went on to place second in the NCAA's two years later, won the 118 pound title, and a short, stocky freshman named Dan Rohn, who was wrestling unattached, although his school (Clarion) was entered, won the 142 pound title.

Three months later, as a junior, Schalles won an NCAA champion- ship, and was named the outstanding wrestler in the event. 1973-Packed with power , Clarion walked away with the team title for the second year in a row, beating Wilkes by 63½ points. People packed the gym to see Schalles, who made his first appearance in the tourney since his inauspicious debut as a freshman, and he didn 't let them down . He pinned four of his five opponents, and beat the fifth , 17-4, enroute to the 158-pound title. Teammates Dan Rohn (142), Bill Simpson (177) and Tom Turnbull (118); also captured individual crowns. At the NCAA's the following March, Schalles, Rohn and Simpson, all won national titles, as Clarion vaulted into national prominence. Colonel 134 oounder John Chakmakas, and 158-pounder Gene Ashley both made it to the finals, but that was as far as they went. Chakmakas lost a tough overtime bout to Mark Belknap of William & Mary. 1974-The era of Schalles had ended, but Clarion still followed junior Dan Rohn to the winner's stand, beating New York Athletic Club by a wide margin. Rohn won his third straight open title (150). while Clarion's Turnbull made it two in a row ( 126). Another Clarion grappler, Pete Morelli won at 118. Wilkes sophomore Mike Kassab, hot off a second place finish in the Penn State Invitational, won the 142 pound title, beating Lock Haven's Gary Walk in the finals, 6-3, to end· the Colonels three year victory famine . 1975? Who can tell. It's a new year, and undoubtedly new faces will spring onto the championship plateau; faces that may one day be distinguished as national titlists. The Open has brought some of the greatest grapplers in history before local fans , and this year, John Reese and the Colonels would like to make a little history of their own, and break a jinx that has.hounded them for seemingly an eternity.

THE TWO SCHOOLS have not met on a basketball court since the 1952-53 season, and many people say it's about time, while others believe it hasn't been long enough. One person who is looking forward to it is Blue and Gold basketball coach Rodger Bearde. " The local media has been making us look like the fall guy the past few years, and blaming us for the fact ·that this game has not ·come about sooner.

Students are asked to bring their own ice skates. Over 200 Applicants In Review has not filed a written application for the chief position,. When asked if Acting President Capin, who has been holding a dual position as acting chief administrator and dean of academic affairs concurrently, would be considered for the presidency on his past record despite his choice not to apply in writing, Judge Rosenn said that Capin would receive consideration. "I don 't believe his failure to apply would mean that the Presidential Selection Committee would be compelled to ignore his presence," Judge Rosenn said. " We think that we are soon approaching the end of our labors. Hopefully, the selection of a president will lie before commencement," noted the committee head. He also noted that by and large committee meetings have had full attendance by the membership including seven members of the Board of Trustees, three faculty members .and two students. Each member of the Presidential Search Committee has a vote in the decision. Once a selection has been made, the committee will make its · recommendation to the Board of Trustees for approval. Although the Board of Trustees is not compelled to approve the committee's choice, J1,1dge Rosenn stated, "It would seem that the board would pay a great deal of attention to the recommendation of the committee."

Geffert Founded in 1933 as Bucknell Junior College, Wilkes College was charted as a four-year liberal arts in- stitution and renamed after a defender of American freedom-John Wilkes, a patriot, publisher, politician and playboy. Wilkes-Barre itself was named after this same individual and Colonel Isaac Barre, who had been an officer in the English army in America in the campaigns of 1758 and 1759 and was a foe of America's oppressors. The history of Wilkes College contains considerable information on the man for whom the school was named. Wilkes was.well-born but broke away from his family early and entered political life. At a relatively early age he became a member of Parliament. He became a political writer of note and founded "The North Briton." " The North Briton" attacked the King and his supporters in every issue, but little official attention was paid to it until Issue No. 45 came from the press. This issue was not as strong in its language as many earlier ones, but it did attack the King's message to Parliament in severely critical tones. As a result, a general warrant was issued against the authors, printers and pul;)lishers of this "seditious and treasonable paper." Wilkes was arrested and sent to London Tower "for treasonable practices" which were defined as libelling the government. Wilkes was subsequently frer.d and he and his printers cost the government 100,000 pounds in damages and legal expenses. " But John Wilkes," says Kelly, "is spread over several closely-printed pages and treated with an admixture of awe and disdain. Few U.S. cities have a more unusual hero as a patron; none have a wilder one." Who was this man John Wilkes? According to Kelley, Wilkes is said to have been squint-eyed and extremely ugly, but who nevertheless had an amiable grin, a good nature and a sense of humor. " His-contributions t(l the philosophy of freedom, on a conservative side," says Kelley, "were far reaching .. : He would undoubtedly be amused and flattered that there is an exciting city which bears his name." . With his new-found wealth, Wilkes decided to adopt triple careers of playboy, politician and publisher. He was an immediate success in the fir'st, and, soon after, in the other two fields. He was the outspoken publisher of "The North Briton" and extremely popular. He was a member of the infamous HellFire Club. He broke up the club by dressing a baboon as the devil and let him loose. Wilkes' dislike of Alexander Pope, whom he thought prudish, led him to take "Essay on Man," and by · giving a twist to the last word in each sentence, produce an obscene piece called "Essay on Woman." The tract was designed only for members of the club but got national publicity when the Earl of Sandwich, ex-frien.d and fellow club member, used it to get Wilkes expelled from Parliament. Once when it appeared Wilkes would be imprisoned, he took off for a trip on the Continent that lasted four years and was spent in "amorous delights." He returned and served a one-year jail sentence in London's Tower. No Minor Vices Wilkes, after his initial failure, wori a seat in Parliament in a distant country by bribing the sea captain carrying a boat load of opposition voters to land them in Norway. One haughty gentleman once said he'd rather vote for the devil than for Wilkes. , Another irate constituent predicted that Wilkes would die on the gallows. Wilkes replied to this by saying "That depends upon if I embrace your principles or your mistress. " Wilkes was first to say, "I have no minor vices." But Wilkes also had virtues. He nursed his little daughter, stricken with small-pox, back to health after she had been deserted by her mother and nurses. . He was equally kind and considerate to his many illegitimate children. "In a corrupt age," comments Kelley, "he was impeccably honest with public monies. A courageous / Lord Mayor of London, he was a storm center right up to his death at 70 in the year 1797. In his later years he turned from atheism to religion." Exciting English Gentleman An article by Joseph J. Kelly in a 1965 issue of " Pennsylvania Business." official publication of the Pennsy.lvania State Chamber of Commerce, gives insight into the character of John Wilkes, describing him as an " exciting English gentleman," with more conservative references of Colonel Barre. , Barre is dismissed as one who led a fairly prosaic life " and rates no more than honorable mention in the Encyclopedia Britannica." Married For Money "Sharp-witted Wilkes," says Kelley, "got his start by marrying a girl whose only assets were monetary. He soon engineered a separation which, under , then-existing English property laws, gave him her entire estate. As evidence of his generosity, however, he provided her with a small settlement." Play Tryouts .Next Week - Tryouts for the Kiwanis-Wilkes College Musical "SING OUT SWEET LAND" have been . announced by Alfred S. Groh, director of theater, and will be held on Monday amt Tuesday, February 9 and 10, at 7 p.m. at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Responding to rumors of theft and shoplifting at the Wilkes College Bookstore, 11/ildred Gittens, store manager, said shoplifting is "found in every store" and " happens all the time" but it is not a major problem at the bookstore. Gittens pointed out that although the amount being stolen. is " not a large figure, it's still theft." In some stores, she said, higher prices result from shoplifting loses. But, she added, prices will not go up in the bookstore for that reason.

Upcoming activities have been designed to attempt to qualify Wilkes as a "Bicentennial College." The 16-member Wilkes Planning Committee, representing all segments of the campus, is chaired by Dr. David Leach of the History Department. . The committee has applied to the Luzerne County Bicentennial Comm1ss10n for recognition as a " Bicentennial College." The designation would serve as an acknowledgement of Wilkes' observance of the Bicentennial, and would permit the college to display t~ official Bicentennial flag. The American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (AREA) has adopted the slogan "A past to remember; a future to mold" as the· theme for the national Bicentennial program. Three thematic areas for activities have been developed, and the Planning Committee has come up with several activities for each area. According to Dr. Leach, " Heritage '76" takes a backward look at Anierica's past. Activities for this theme include a lecture series sponsored by the History Department, town meetings at Penn State and a photo exhibit featuring mining architecture. A number of other activities are being planned, including a series of events designed to honor the various ethnic groups in the area. The next event in the series sponsored by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures is "The Bicentennial Festival of Ukrainian Dances and Songs" to be held Saturday, February 21. " Festival '76" revolves around the celebration of the Bicentennial. The Wilkes Faculty Women are planning an Ethnic Recognition Day and the annual Cherry Blossom Festival will have ~ Bicentennial atmosphere, as will next year's Homecoming. According to Dr. Leach, the purpose ofthe third thematic area, " Heritage '76," 'is to "use the Bicentennial to energize individuals and organizations throughout the nation with a view to improving the quality of life." A time capsule containing Bicentennial memorabilia is among the plans for this theme. In addition to activities specifically planned for the Bicentennial celebration, a number of annual events commemorate the nation's 200th birthday. The Music Department already has presented several concerts featuring American music, and the play "1776" was offered by the Concert and Lecture Series. BEACON Thanked ForM.S.

This vacation for the first time, an experimental Intersession of classes was held. Just how well did the program turn out? John F . Meyers, director of Division of Continuiq__g Education, informed us that it was "successful, to the point that the bills were paid. The courses went all right. " The Intersession, partially a money making venture for the ..school, offered many different programs including continuing education, undergraduate, and · graduate fields of study.

The speech courses had the best student enrollment, especially one course dealing with interviews, which was very useful to seniors, while English 101, 151, and 152 also had a good enrollment. The non-credit continuing education courses were not as popular except for two math courses and a few ·music classes. Most were cancelled. Approximately 120 undergraduate and 50 graduate students d~d participate in the " Intersession." Mr. Meyers noted that this program sho_uld not be compared to the summer session or to the academic year. He believes a much more practicalprogram could come about with a revision in the present calendar. A change in the length of vacations, and earlier starting date, and an earlier commencement date could make for better plans. The earlier graduation has many advantages including giving seniors an earlier jump into the job market; for others, a rrionth or so vacation before the start of many summer jobs; or even better, time for a Pre-Season Presession to the summer classes, which is more practical than the Intersession.

Capin assumed his current position as acting president of Wilkes College until the Presidential Search Committee can appoint an individual as president in a permanent capacity . Since that time Acting President Capin has positively maintained a double role as the chief Wilkes administrator and as dean of academic affairs . Members of the Presidential Search Committee appear also to be working hard in their efforts to study more than 200 applications that have been received for the presidency from throughout the United States . When looking at the situation from many aspects it seems to us that the best choice that can be made for the Wilkes presidential office would be to select an individual who knows and understands the people of Wyoming Valley . Let us not forget that the area people are a special breed of th eir own merit who may not be able to identify with an outsider as easily as they would be able to communicate with someone who has lived , worked and raised a family in this region . Our new president also should be ar.i indiviaual of high integrity and merit, who like the people of the valley, can weather any storm , while performing services to the community in the high office . ~ . An individual of this stature may not be discovered for a long whil e beyond Wyoming Valley . We contend that the Presidential Search Committee should seek every mark of an educated man as adopted by the faculty as a guide to learning when making its recommenqation to the lfoa rd of Tru stees .

This • resolution states that notwithstanding any interpretation which the Soviet Union or any other country may attempt to give the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, signed in Helsinki, it is the sense of Congress (1) that there has been no change in the longstanding policy of the United States on non-recognition of the illegal seizure and annexation by the Soviet Union of the three Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania and (2) that it will continue to be the policy of the United States not to recognize in any way the annexation of the Baltic nations by the Soviet Union. Since almost all former colonial peoples of Africa and Asia have obtained their independence, the colonialism of the. Soviet Union in the. once-independent Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania should not be recognized and condoned in any way.

When we · arrived, I parked my car in the parking lot outside the dining room. We were gone for about two hours and when we came back to the parking lot, I realized I wouldn't be able to back the car .9ut of the space. After many tries without success, a ·;;tudent ' came by and _offered to help. I was relieved because now both my daughter and the student ' would be able to direct me out of the space. Following 20 minutes we were unable to get the car out of the space. After 30 minutes of backing up and pulling over, we finally were able to make the two turns. Now we only had one more turn to make to get out of the lot and it was the most impossible of the three. There was no way I would be able to turn unless the two cars which were in my way moved. The student who helped us offered to look for the owners of the two automobiles. However, while he was gone they came and moved their cars. My daughter and I were not able to , thank the student who aided us. We had another appointment in Harrisburg ·and without his help we probably would not have made it in time. Please print this letter in the BE~CON so the helpful student will reahze how much we appreciate his help. ---. Sincerely, Mrs. Bebe Renda S.U.B.

Intersession: Pro and ·con . Thi sJ.anuary marked the debut of the Intersession program at Wilkes, enabling students to take courses not available during th e regular semester as well as courses that are part of the basic requirements at the college. The Intersession , which was of value to some students, permitted greater flexibility in the kinds of courses offered . While the program may be an excellent time for the student to take a course to get those needed three credits, many found t hat they could not afford the $65 per credit hour fee nor could th ey find any course on the list which was useful to them .

The crack down begins this week, as all autos not displaying an official and up-to-date parking sticker will be tagged with warning notices. Once this warning period ends, illegally parked cars will be ticketed and, if necessary, towed. Del-Cap Detective Agency of Pittston will provide a u niformed attendant to patrol the college's parking lots. Afso, Commuter Council and Inter-Dormitory Qouncil will continue to use work-study students to police on-campus student lots. Del-Cap currently provides regular security patrols fo r the college. Business Manager Charles Abate ' told the joint student-administration parking committee Tuesday that no major change in college parking policy is involved. " What we're going to do now is enforce our policy," Abate said. Existing fines for illegal parking remain in force. Violators are subject to a $2.50 fine if the penalty is paid within 48 hours after the violation occurs, or a $5 fine if they pay thereafter; All fines accumulated by violators are added to their accoun,ts in the Finance Office and must be paid before graduation. Persons authorized to park their cars on campus must prominently dispiay on their vehicle an official Wilkes parking sticker. So as not to inconvenience more-than-one car ~amilies, the stickers need not be permanently affixed .to the auto. Student stickers provided by CC and JDC are subject to the same regulations. Additionally, JDC stickers are valid on a semester- . by-semester basis. The serial numbers of expired stickers will be placed on a "void list" and parked cars in lots will be periodically checked to · determine if their stickers are on the list. A $50 fine has been imposed for illegal possession of parking stickers. Once a person has accumulated · three parking tickets, notice will be given to the parking attendant to watch for the violator's vehicle, which will then become "a prime target for towing," according to Abate. Del-Cap will arrange for the towing and holding of vehicles. A penalty fee will be charged for a violator to recover his car. Although a final figure has not yet been determined, it is expected that the fee will be about $20 to $25. It was emphasized that student parking is confined to four lots: By Frank Baran Temple Israel for the commuters, Discussion is currently underway and Bedford, Old Slocum, and between college administrators and Wright Street for the dorm students. members of the Board of Trustees Administrators present at the on the best use Wilkes College can Tuesday session stressed the need make of its most recent acquifor cooperation of students, faculty , sition-th~ Conyngham home at 130 administrators, and staff in reliev- South River Street. ing the parking problem.

APPLICANTS MUST APPLY EARLY . . - The biggest problem in -re.habilitating the building, Shaw says, is the heating system. The existing heating plaf)t of two large handfired coal furnaces would have to be upgraded with stokers or replaced. In addition to this initial expenditure, the cost of operating the system would be tremendous. Heating costs are estimated to total $8,000 annually, based on current prices of fuel oil and the conversion of the heating plant from coal to oil. The plumbing system is in "questionable condition," Shaw said, and most of the fixtures might have to be replaced. Even with improvements, it is uncertain whether the building's plumbing system can support the anticipated 42 residents. Bringing the building into conformity with state Department of Labor and Industry standards is another major problem in rehabilitating the Conyngham home. The existing stairs and elevator shaft must be replaced with enclosed stairwells, and, other miscellaneous improvements must be made as well. · The roof of the building leaks badly and needs major repairs. The ceilings of several rooms have been ruined by this leakage as well. All rooms need at least partial plastering and complete repainting.

Wyoming, Pa . there are at least thirty rooms in the building. There is a puddle of water in the basement, indicating repairs . to foundation cracks must be made. Besides the rehabilitation costs, there remains the problem of operating the building. It is estimated that annual operating costs amount to $29,000, while dormitory fees for students living in the building will provide $23,940. On the other hand, there are strong arguments favoring the rehabilitation of the building. The need to house students. in Hotel Sterling will be eliminated. The Conyngham home could be ready for occupancy by September, 1976. Once repaired, the building might be in better overall condition than many existing dormitories. The rooms are generally large, and have adequate closet space. The building boasts woodpanelled sitting rooms and first and second floor marble fireplaces, among other amenities. The capital expenditures for rehabilitation would be Jes than for new . construction. · But perhaps most importantly, a significant historical property will have been preserved. The Conyngham home was once one of the finest residences in Wyoming Valley, representing the prosperity and elegance of the business community during the heyday of anthracite mining. Preservation would calm the fears of many in t~e community that the college will despoil the most impressive remnants of WilkesBarre's past. -.,Snowflake Winner Announced by Club .___________2_aa_ .,,_32_iiiiiiillillil_ _liiiiiiiiii693iii._,330iiiii. .

" His presence in this event will be good for 1000 extra fans." Ironically, Schalles almost didn't make it to Wilkes-Barre. He competed in the Midlands Invitational Wrestling Tournament out at Northwestern University near Chicago, which ran December 27th and 28th. The Wilkes Open was scheduled for the 29th and 30th. While the Super Eagle did enter the Wilkes event, people close to Schalles didn't expect him to travel East, if he made it to the finals of the Midlands. But Larry Zilverberg, a NCAA runnerup out of Minnesota University, settled the conflict by upsetting Schalles in the semi-finals. With his chance of winning a title there eliminated, Schalles took the next flight East, and arrived at the Wilkes-Barre-Scranton International Airport late Sunday night, in plenty of time to catch a good night's sleep before Monday morning's pre-tourney weigh-ins. SCIIALLES' ABILITY TO fly all over the creation and participate in wrestling tournament after wrestling tournament brought up an interesting point. Bread, moola, dough, cold cash. Call it what you will, it's the only thing that can pay for cross-country plane flights, and three-day stays at comfortable motels. Where does Schalles' money come from ? The answer is from ~he pocket of Clar ion millionaire Bill Rea, Jr. Rea, a powerful fig ure in the city of Clarion is wild about wrestling, and has been a "supporter" of the CSC sport for quite a long time. This year, he is sponsoring a Clarion-based wrestling team called · the " Mean Machine", which feat ures Schalles, and Lehigh redshirt, Mark Lieberman. Schalles quit his job as assistant wrestling coach at Arizona State last season, and now has a desk job in one of Rea 's business interests in Clarion, while he puts his total concentration on wrestling, and earning a berth on the United States Olympic teain. · It sure is nice to have friends with money. They can turn rags into riches, tin into gold, and in Schalles' case, a former collegiate star into an Olympic gold medalist.

SaddieJ with -their fourth MAC loss of the season Saturday night, Wilkes is faced with the difficult (but not impossible) task of winning all four of their remaining conference battles - including one against powerful Scranton on the road, if they expect a post-season berth. "We can do it. It's going to be hard, but we can do it," exclaimed a disappointed Bearde, shortly after his young team blew a big ten point lead to Upsala, and ended up losing to the Vikings 68-54. , IT WAS THE Colonel's first home game since Dec. 10, and after a rough 3-7 road trip, they were anxious to get back home. " With all the first year players we have," said Bearde, -"ten consecutive games on the road is not the best way to break into college ball, and we paid the price for it." But last Wednesday night at Reading, they dished it out instead of taking it on the chin, and whipped Albright 77-72 in overtime, to give them new hope. A win over Upsala would have put one foot in the MAC playoff door. Realizing the Colonel's. man to man defense would not work on the Vikings , ,Beard.e switched to a zone against Upsala, and his team never looked better during the first twelve minutes of the contest. With 7:32 left in the first half, Wilkes was up by ten, 24-14, arid could do no wrong . ', 1 ·u But Upsala has never been known for rolling over, and took advantage of some sloppy Colonel floor play to whittle the deficit to one at halftime. WHAT HAPPENED IN that second half will haunt Bearde for the rest of the season: Switching to a zone themselves, Upsala effectively shut off the Colonel inside game, and rolled into the lead for the first time in the ball game. Forcing the' Colonels out of their own zone and into man to man defense, the Vikings used their height advantage, and muscle, to win going a\\(ay. Bearde repeatedly said at the beginning of the season that this is the most talented club he's ever coached. But it would take time for him to adjust. Well, right now the Colonels are running out of time. They have remaining conference games with Lyc:oming tomorrow night at home; Lyc~ing once again next Saturday on the road ; Scranton · on Feb. 17 at the John Long Center ; and they finish with Elizabethtown at home on Feb. 19. History indicates that they must win them all. They a re 2-4 in the MAC right now , and a 6-4 finish should get them in the playoffs. If they lose just one, it would put them at 5-5 ; exactly the record they finished up with last year, when they DIDN'T make the playoffs. It 's going to be an uphill battle, but as Rodger Bearde has said : " we can do it. It's going to be hard, but we can do it." · Niedzwiecki Unbeatable MAC AtA Glance W L PCT . Ph ila.

Colonels Topple SU; Face Lyco Tomorrow BY PAUL DOMOWITCH Wi~~ have come far and few ' between for the Wilkes f;,. Uege baske .. ball team this season, but last night, the Colonels decided to remedy that problem with a 57-50 conquest of Susquehanna University at the South Franklin • Street gymnasium. The win upped the Blue and Gold record to 6-11, going into tomorrow evening's " do or die" battle with Middle Atlantic Conference foe Lycoming, and avenged an earlier 71-64 defeat at the hands of the Crusaders. It was the red hot shooting of forward Jack Brabant that brought the Colonels of coach Rodger Bearde out of a pathetic offensive drought in the second half, and carried them from a six-point halftime deficit to a seven-point win. The big red head finished the night with 1-8 points, and in the process, became the third greatest scorer in Wilkes College basketball history. BUT BRABANT WASN'T the only story. Frank Britt and Tommy Donahue, a pair of Colonels who have missed a great deal of this season with injuries, came to life in the waning minutes against the Crusaders, and picked up where Brabant left off. Using a zone defense to offset the effectiveness of Susquehanna's All-MAC forward Dave Long, Wilkes broke out to an 8-0 lead on the hot hand of Brabant, before the Crusaders answered with a bucket of their own. A 20-footer by Donahue with 15:55 showing on the clock, put Wilkes up by eight once again, but the Crusaders, utilizing the tremendous outside shooting of guard Mike Scheib over the · Wilkes zone, whittled the deficit to four at the nine minute mark. With Wilkes forced to respect Scheib's outside accuracy, the Crusaders then began to feed the 6-6 Long underneath, and his layup with 5:25 remaining, tied the ballgame at 24. Gettir.g the opportunities, but certainly not ' the breaks, Rodger Bearde watched helplessly as shot after _Blue and Gold shot went astray, and Susquehanna took the lead. SCHEIB PUT SU out in front by eight, 32-24 on a· fast break bucket, before Blue and Gold freshman Kendall McNeil answered with a pair of free throws to cut the lead to six at half. The early minutes of the second half were a carbon copy of the fi rst , ,. portion fo r the Colonels, as the miserable shooting continued. But Brabant finally fo und the range after hitting on only three of nine in the first half, and connected on three in a row near the fourteen minute mark, to put his team within a bucket, 36-34. With a little over twelve minutes to go in the contest, Britt made his long awaited r eturn to action on the Colonel hardwood, and it was a pair of free throws by the 6-3 senior that tied the game at 38. The Colonels held momentary two point leads during the next three minutes, befo re a big basket by · guard Mike Prekopa put Wilkes out in fro nt for keeps, 46-44 with 5: 05 remaining. PLAYING. A · Lp'TLE- cat ' and mouse after gammg the lead, Bearde ordered his team to keep the ball outside until Susquehanna broke from its zone into a man-for-man defense. Seconds after the Crusaders made the switch, freshman Tony Nardelli capitalized with a two-pointer to put Wil~es up by four. Long cut into the Colonel lead once again with a 15-foot jumper, but little Tommy Donahue came to life with 2:50 remaining, and canned a shot from .the top of the circle. Seconds later, after spreading the desperate Crusader defense out, Donahue broke through the lane and shoveled off a brilliant pass to an open Britt, who was fouled . The former Kingston Central Catholic standout made one of two, and seconds later hit two more charity tosses to put the game on ice, 53-46. Two final free throws, and a splendid disolav of ball handling by Donahue that drew the 5'10 junior a standing ovation from the appreciative crowd, put Wilkes up at the buzzer, 57-50.

The remaining four dual meets will be preparation, more than anything else, for Wilkes' big Feb. 27-28 indoctrination into the Eastern Inter-collegiate Wrestling Association. Three weeks ago, the Colonel's chances at the Eastern tourney did not appear good. But a lot has happened since that time. Down at Annapolis, the Navy grapplers have everyone confused including themselves, as a defeat at the hands of Yale (who?? ) would indicate. That same Yale team lost to Rutgers, a unit that could manage only one victory in a pre-season scrimmage with Wilkes. DOWN AT LEHIGH, injuries have It has been a rough beginning for the Wilkes wrestlers in the wacky world of Division I, but it appears the worst is over, or so it would seem. Losses to Lehigh, Navy, Oregon State, and Syracuse loom as ancient history now, and a good many of the Colonels are starting to grow up, and put the word " team" into their vocabulary,. after realizing that representatives of Oklahoma, Iowa, and Iowa State are not going to pound down their doors and try ~o persuade them to transfer to their respective institutions.

The SG president also stated that no local people have been chosen for an approximately two-hour interview on campus. Questions being put to the candidates deal wilh what lhe applicants feel is a liberal arts college and how they can employ the institution to better serve the community. "I don't think that the committee is just going through the motions of a presidential search," Zaborney said. " I don't think they have a president picked yet," he noted. '1iborney also related that many individuals want the challenge of being president of a liberal arts college. Many also come from state schools holding such positions as vice presidents and deans of colleges. When asked about the secrecy employed By Donna M. Geffert Unknown to many individuals on the Wilkes College campus, interviews have been underway by the Presidential Search Committee, under the direction of U.S. Circuit Court Judg·e Max Rosenn, of applicants for the presidency in the conference room of Weckesser Hall. According to Student Government President Ed " Zeke" Zaborney, one of two student representatives on the search committee, the men who are being interviewed are the "cream of the crop." After studying over 200 applications, approximately 10 men have been invited to an interview by the 12-member committee. Zaborney noted that the next interview session is scheduled for Monday, February 23, in Weckesser Hall. ·:l:l:i:liifr::tm:trrrtt}rre:+r +::::::}1:1'11r>rtt1:11•1:t:::c':;::.;.: :1: : .: ·,. - ··· ,.,,, , ., ,., ,· · concerning the interviews and the names of applicants, the student representative explained that some of _the applicants have placed themselves in a precarious position by applying for the Wilkes job.

He explained that it is a difficult decision to make since the president should be strong in the business world in his estimation. -Zaborney also feels that the student vote on the committee is significant although he maintains thal he and Debbie Lataro, the other student representative, exhibit to the committee what the students want in a president socially.

Rozelle, dean of health sciences and project director of the Wilkes-Hahncmann Medical Program here, responded to Student Government ,questioning Tuesday. night regarding the status of in-state and out-of-state students seeking admission to Hahnemann Medical College. The program allows students to complete the requirements for a medical degree in family medicine in six years. Much of the confusion, students say, stemmed from comments made last semester by a biology professor. Rozelle said no out-of-state students will be admitted in next years program except those coming from "contiguous counties" in southern New York and northern I New Jersey. He said that this " preferred area" is not a Wilkes policy but the joint selection committee's ' interpretation, based on past experience, of how the Hafinemann Admissions Committee will act. The joint selection committee is the College body that recommends candidates to the Hahnemann Admissions Committee, which has the final say. to improve primary medical care by putting more doctors in this area. Rozelle said that the letter sent to this years' Hahnemann students, stating the preferred region, also indicates that students of exceptional ability that Feside outside the preferred area will still be considered. He said th1,1t the student• in this years' class outside the area, all things equal, must have a higher grade point average than an in-state student or student from the "contiguous counties." He said Received letter Students in the current freshman class, prior to entering the program, received a letter stating that students from this preferred region will receive preference over those who are not. Rozelle indicated that as a result of the letter, approximately 80 students decided not to enroll at Wilkes. He said in the current freshman class, only 20 percent are from out-of-state. The reasoning behind choosing students only from the state, this area , and certain couhties in southern New York and northern New Jersey, Rozelle said, is that there is a better chance those students will remain in the area to practice medicine. The purpose of the program, he said is to " upgrade health care delivery systems in Northeastern Pennsylvania." The ultimate goal of the program is "where every citizen will have a family doctor. " The architects of the program hope Dr. Ralph B. Rozelle voting process should be the ultimate· · tie-breaker in the presidential selection that his decision would be followed providing that the voting process depended on majority rule. Senior Representative Debbie Lataro also voiced agreement concerning student participation in the search committee. According to her, the student vote had not been ignored when deciding which applicants would be interviewed. In this light, she noted that in the ultimate selection of president the student vote also would be considered just as any other vote on the committee. "I don 't see how they could ignore it," she said. When asked about the black woman applicant who was disqualified from the running, Lataro noted that the woman did not possess the high caliber of credentials like the other applicants. continued on page 6 every freshman in the program is aware of this. "It's clear what the letter means legally and otherwise," he said. The sophomore class did not receive a letter as such, but Rozelle indicated "they will be treat equally." Rozelle and Kanner explain Both Rozelle and Joseph H. Kanner, director of testing and a member of the Wilkes joint selection committee, explained the reasons behind the " preferred area policy" at the meeting. They said it has been found .that roughly 60 percent of the medical students in the State of Pennsylvania, once they complete the requirements for a medical degree, leave the state. Rozelle said state legislation requires medical schools, in order to be eligible for state financial assistance, must admit, over-all, 80 percent in-state students. "After all, it is Pennsylvania tax dollars supporting these schools," he said. Kanner noted that there are some states which do not admit any out-of-state students. "The problem is now economic," he said. Rozelle advised the members of the Student Government to keep in mind the long term goal of the By F'rank Baran Responsibility for operating and maintaining the Student Union Building and two game rooms now managed by the Student Union Board may come under closer scrutiny by Student Government, if a proposal submitted · Tuesday by SG Member Steven ~srick wins SG approval. . Esrick said the S.U.B. is not now used to its fullest potential because 111ajor improvements are required to make the facility more attractive and accessible. Such improvements, Esrick contends, cannot be made by the present Student Union Board because the board lacks funds . "The basic problem with the present arrangement," Esrick told the SG rnernbers, " is tha_t the Student Union Board is not accountable to anybody and it's not responsible to the students." Esrick and SG Member J oe Marchetti have co-sponsored a new constitution for the Student Union · Board which would subject its. management to considerable review by a committee of SG. Under lerms of the proposal, all board policies must be reviewed by SG and all non-operating expenses must be approved by the SG body. Also, wonthly reports on board activities and finances must be submitted to SG and "at the time of this presentation, the director of the S.U.B. shall be present fur questioning." . The Esrick-Marchetti plan also contains a three-part rid~r. The first p~rt provides that all present board debts will be paid by SG. Smee _the drafting of the proposal, Esrick notes, the board has been able to repay its $800 debt in full and now its books show a surplus of about $30. The second portion of the rider provides that ,"contracting bids to remodel S.U.B. facilities shall be obtained by the S.U.B. prior to th~ end of the 1976 Spring Semester. Said bids shall be submitted to SG for immediateconsideration." Esrick estimated renovations to the building could amount to $4,0U0 to $5,000. The final portion of the rider requires a "complete" SG investigation of the board after the first semester of operations under the new arrangement. Esrick noted that the proposal would alter the original charter of the board. The board was initially designed to be self-sustaining, using profits from vending machines to finance all operations and maintenance. The proposal would instead recognize that "the prime reason for the S.U.B. to exist is LP serve the students, hopefully breaking even in the process." continued 3 continued on page 4 Whoops, No Parking!

The Student Union Board was created m 1974 to operate the newly-opened Sludent Union Building. After a brief period of solvency, the Boa rd plunged itself into debt during the management of Tom Marcy. Marcy's successor, John Zimmerman, has been widely credited for reversing this debt , and as of January 1, the board showed a balance of about $30 in its account in the Finance Office. According· lo financial statements released Thursday by ·Zimmerman, the board generates its income from pinball machines in the Pickering Hall and Co1 , 11J1ons garnerooms. Seven machines in each of the facilities prov idl' a weekly board income of $210. The n1ain expenditure for the board is payroll, which totals about $75 per week. Hefunds on machines cost an additional $20 per week, and 1niscellaJJeous overhead expenses account for another $15 per week.

Debbie Morano, editor of the ''Amnicola,'' discussed the financial troubles of the yearbook, especially highlighting the low number of subscribers from the student body. Morano suggested a proposal to add an additional fee to the student's activities fee to insure that each student would receive a yearbook annually. The increase should not be more than approximately $5, she noted. • It was suggested by Thomas J. Moran, who was acting chairman in the absence of Chairman Gay Meyers, that this proposal be submitted to Student Government for•consideration. The committee voted to support the "Amnicola" staff in its proposal before the SG body. A subcommittee also was formed to discuss budget proposai~ for the BEACON, "Manuscript," "Amnicola," and WCLH Radio for the 1976-77 academic year.

Joe Marchetti, S.G. Rep. to the S.U.B., made some contradictory remarks in his analysis of the S.U.B. in addition to an unsupported accusation. Marchetti told S.G. "Art Hoover, the board's adivsor, had just resigned because he received no cooperation from the director." Yet at a past S.U.B. meeting it was the same Joe Marchetti who recommended to the S.U. Board that the• main floor of the S.U.B.-be used for parties, even though he knew that Art Hoover was opposed to this practice and would resign before submitting to them. Mr. Hoover may very well have resigned because, as Al Foderaro pointed out at a pst :s, U.tl. meeting, to assume an active role as S.U.B. advisor requires a good deal of time and Mr. Hoover has various other jobs which occupy his time. houses (2) numerous dorm, class EXCEPT this year under my first and club parties (3 ) film presenta- year as S.U.B. director. tions (4) registration (5) theater arts , Bal. c. forward 6-30-73 down $700 production (6) jazz band' (7) 6-30-74 down $315 Manuscript Society lecture (8) Poli. 6-30-75 down $800 Sci.

Sincerely, SLIPPERY SAM Marchetti told S.G. that " profits from the vending machines on campus have been consumed by the payroll." However, Marchetti recommended that the S.

Now Marchetti, in his latest Jripes, says that one of the reasons for the S.U.B. reaching its so called "lowest point" is that the building closes at 9 p.m. every night.

On Dec. 11, 1975, Marchetti stated "the board will continue to go downhill unless something is done about the administration of it."

"' �February 12, 1976 All-Around: Jack Brabant Maintenance Leader Asset to Wilkes ·College ~. By Janine Pokrinchak In looking back upon his _!our years at Wilkes, J ack Brabant says " I Jove it. I wouldn 't have it any other way. " When he first came to WilkesBarre, his senior year of high school, J ack was very apprehensive and did not like the area. However, he likes the size of Wilkes and the fact that most services and activities are within walking distance. J ack, a native of Glendale, New York, which is inside New York City, ("not upstate New York") enjoys the friendly atmosphere of WilkesBarre in general and of the college. Because of the size of Wilkes, the Gore resident is impressed with the fact that dorm students know most of the ' ormies" at least by sight. On the other hand, Jack feels the dorm students do not know that many day students. The gap between the dorm and day students seems to be Jack's major dislike. He would' like to see commuters and resident students interrelate with each other more. When asked what he would change if he had the opportunity, Jack answered, " I wouldn 't change that much. " The onlY. complaint Jack had, was the regression of the party policv during his four years here. / Page5 TheBeacon · · <l o/ 0- - By Maria~e Montague .

In its first year, the Weather Watch team organized during the Fall Semester. Composed of several environmental science majors and advised by Dr. Bruce Berrvman, the team summarizes the past week's weather, provides a weekend forecast and explains some commonlyused weather terms. Each week the group travels to the National Weather Service in Avoca to pick up weather maps depicting the national weather scene. They then use the maps to interpret the weather and compile a summary for the program . · Local weather summaries and forecasting are aided by the weather observatory on the roof of SLC. In addition to the current weather scene, the Weather Watch also provides informative notes on a number of weather terms . Frequently used in weather reports, the terminology is usually not explained and often not fully understood. The Weather Watch explains travelers' advisories, the " January thaw, " clouds, snow flurries, flooding conditions, and even what to do in case of a blizzard. • Skiing conditions will also soon be included in the weekly program.

Lisa: Special Girl In A Very Special Role NEWS ITEM: REFEREE NO-SHOW And you thought last Friday night's basketball game between Wilkes and Lycoming was going to be dull. Well, as the 7-Up un-deer would say: " wrongo." Not satisfied with merely giving you the best in game competition, Wilkes felt obligated to give its dedicated fans the very best in pre-game entertainment as well. And the handful of people who came out to the S. Franklin St. gym (or Palestra, as Gerry Bavitz would say) last weekend, got a sneak preview of that great off-off-off-Broadway play, "Who Wants to Officiate?", which is not to be confused with its successful spinoff, appropriately entitled, "I Do, I Do." For those who missed it, here is the story in book form. It's 8 p.m. - only fifteen minutes until gametime, and Colonel basketball coach R•Jdger Bearde is holding a gun to his head. Grasping a solid hold on the situation, I knock the gun away and grimly ask him, " can things really be that bad"? Indeed they were. It was only a quarter of an hour till tapoff, and there wasn't a referee in sight. Ordinarily, game officials are supposed to be there one hour prior to the contest, and their absence now created a problem; how can you play a basketball game without officials? Immediately, bright fans started making ingenius suggestions to Bearde. Such as: " let the players call their own fouls ~oach," or ;_:here is a striped shirt coach. Quick, put it on." Bearde's wife Addie, a registered varsity official for girl's basketb~ll, even offered her services, but the Lycoming coach had the audacity to accuse her of "favoritism" ( of all the nerve) . WILKES ATHLETIC DIRECTOR John Reese, who was present at the game to receive an award from the American Cancer Society, quickly got on the phone and called Bob Jones, who is the president of the local chapter of PIAA referees (and the owner of Hottle's), and pleaded with Jones to send him a pair of officials in a hurry (by now it was 8:20). Jones explained to Reese that it would be no problem -on any other night but a Friday. For the uninformed, Friday is high school basketball night in Wyoming Valley, and most of Jones' crew were booked. Reese, being of sound mind, then raised the gun to his head. Nobody pulled it away, but it came to be that Bearde never actually put any bullets in it in the first place ("you old faker coach"). Then , another answer to the problem rose to the surface. Walt Ciolek,. who is a varsity official in the valley, had come to watch the game as a civilian, but with Bearde and Reese prompting him ever so nicely (we are, holding your kids hostage Walt), Ciolek hurried home to get his uniform. With yet a second official needed, Bearde called on 21-year-old John Rosiek, who had worked the JV game a half hour earlier (John: " but I got a date coach." Bearde: "that's ok, we'll get you lots of girls if you'll do this for us"). Finally at 8:45, Ciolek appeared with gym bag in hand, and five minutes later, the curtain came down on "Who Wants to Officiate?" GETTING A LITTLE more serious for a minute, one might ask what caused this problem. Well, it all started last year. Up to and including last season, Wilkes received their game officials from the ECAC (Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference), of which it is a member. If you recall, that's how we got Steve Honzo's services last annum. But the ECAC was demanding a pay hike for their referee's services this year, and Reese, the Wilkes athletic director, began looking elsewhere. He had to look no farther than Harrisburg, where Charlie McCullough, executive director of the PIAA (Pennsylvania Inter-scholastic Athletic Association), offered to supply Wilkes with game officials at a much lower price than the ECAC was demanding. Money wasn't the only difference between the two organizations however, as Wilkes fans learned in the season opener against Lock Haven. Duke Maronic, who has since been advised by a multitude of people that officiating is not his calling (have you thought about the priesthood Duke?), had the Colonel crowd up in arms with some of the poorest refereeing ever witnessed. But in Reese's defense, it must be added that all of the officials have not been as bad as Maronic (thank God for small miracles), and all of the ECAC officials are not as good, or as experienced as Honzo. Still, one has got to wonder if saving a couple hundred bucks was worth the aggravation and embarrassment that occurred Friday. What caused the mix-up over the officials still is not known. Under the agreement with McCullough, Wilkes paid a lump sum at the beginning of tlie season, and were set for the entire year (the ECAC utilized a game by game agreement). Reese had understood that George Pawlush, the Wilkes .Sports Information Director, received a copy of all of the assigned game r,fficials for the whole year. But such was not the case. Pawlush did have referee pairings for some games, but Friday was not one of them. WHETHER THE PIAA forgot, or whether they did not even know there was a game that night, will hang in question for quite some time. At 9 p.m. Friday night, no one was in the mood to search for an answer. They were just glad to see two basketball teams moving up and down the floor, and 1wo officials watching diligently over the action. NOTES: Rosiek, a 1972 gradu.. te of Wyoming Valley West, impressed a lot uf people with his officiating in that game. To date, he has only worked one high school varsity basketball game in this area, thanks '.o a ridiculously out-moded seniority system among officials. But Rosiek has gc,t the makings to be a good one. Seniority system or not, he has a bright future ahead as an official and we wish him luck ... Saturday's game with L)'corning down in Williamspo1t is a big one for the Colonel cagers, and in a small gym like Lycoming's, Warrior fans can intimidate a visiting team . The 'Colonels would certainly appreciate some local support, and they deserve it ... Wilkes is hoping to hold its own basketball tournament next season. I'ossible entries include Iona, and Cheyney State . .. the golf team may travel to Nor1h Carolina during the semester break to get an early st art r,n 1be season. By MARIANNE MONTAGUE "I'm not one vf the best swimmers on the team . but I want to be a good captain. A good captain promotes team spirit; something that is so important. When everyone's out there pulling for each other and for the team as a whole you have something really special." Lisa Waznik feels very strongly about being a part of the Wilkes swim teams and especially about her role as women 's captain. " Each swimmer has her own problems and own needs for recognition, so a captain has to relate with her teammates on a personal level. Happy individuals result in a happy team." - The junior music education major has come a long way from the days when she had to coax former coach Joe Shaughnessy to let her join with co-ed Maureen Maguire on an otherwise all-male team. Shaughnessy was skeptical but gave her an ultimatum. ''If you can beat that guy in the white suit (Paul Niedzwiecki) - you're on the team. Lisa never beat Paul but Shaughnessy was so impressed with her dedication that she made the team. SHE EVEN MASTERED the grueling butterfly stroke so that the team would have enough entries in the butterfly events. Two years ago, the co-ed team was very unique in the Wilkes schedule. Lisa recalls traveling to places where they wouldn't let the girls swim. ''We couldn't understand why they wouldn't allow us to swim at Cathedral College. When we got there we found out it was a seminary and we couldn't even find a bathroom for girls. Then wr understood. " Lisa relates other embarrassing incidents. " At Stroudsburg, we swam against some record-breaking male swimmers. Before the 200 freestyle race, I reached out to shake hands with a Stroudsburg swimmer and he grabbed my arm and kissed me. It was pretty embarrassing but the crowd loved it." This year the one co-ed team has grown into two separate units; both coached by senior Rick Marchant. But Lisa feels they ar,e still one team in spirit. "We were afraid that we'd lose something when we separated, but things just keep g~tting better. The teams still practice together and the guys and the girls come to each other's meets to cheer. When we went to Dickinson, the guys lost but their enthusiasm didn't die. They cheered the girls on to a victory, and were just as happy as we were. " The comparison of a team to a family is used a lot, but I feel it applies. When we traveled to MAC's at Johns Hopkins last year it was probably one-0f the best experiences of rny life. When you travel with 'Capt. Lisa• people and eat with them and swim with them for three days, you get very close. It's a lasting closeness that results in a more cohesive and stronger team. And you know you have a lot of good friends who you'll always cherish." Lisa's experiences on the Wilkes swim team reflect the growth and :rnportance of the sport at the college. The women have finished the season with a 2-2 record and are off to a fine start: Swimming may never be as popular as wrestling or basketball at Wilkes, but it is equally important in its influence on student growth and fulfillment. IM Basketba-11 Gets Underway The Wilkes intramural basketball league opened up its 1976 season with . four games on 1:uesday, February 3. Opening night brought out a lot of good basketball and a rash of high scoring. The opening game saw Gino's defeat the Rams 87-71. In this game the Dudick brothers teamed up for 45 points while Gene Marinelli cashed in 22. All in all, Gino's displayed an explosive offense, but their defense left something to be desired. In the second · game, Webster Wings were defeated by the Spastic Troopers 83-62. High scorers for the Troopers were Jeff Finkle with 26 and Ray Ostroski, 24. In another game Smokey's Bears beat Sons of Softee 49-44. Ken Suchoski starred for the winners with 22 points. 1 ! In another high scoring game Butler defeated Lil Warner 77-69 . Butler posted three players in double figures, with Andy Kresky scoring a league leading 29 points. While Kresky was performing his acrobatics, Miner ·was beating Roosevelt 66-48. Bruce Jackson, Nick Lazorak, and Charlie Sullivan scored 14 points each for the winners. The Faculty made their debut on Thursday night, when they handed Slocum A 69-44 loss.

They lost bouts, that they should have won and wrestled poorly in still others. ESSC won five of the ten individual events, and drew in yet another. ' COLONEL LIGHTWEIGHT ROY Preefer found himself down early, and just couldn't make up the difference, as ESSC. bnoke out to an unexpected 4-0 lead on Randy Tillman's 13-4 superior decision , over the Wilkes junior. · ll'illman put Preefer on his back in the opening seconds and nearly'""showed him the lights with a tight cradle, but Preefer stayed alive until the buzzer. The Blue & ,Gold 118-pounder closed the gap to two in the second period, on a takedown and two-point nearfall, but from there on it was all downhill, as Tillman collected back point twice more and counted to victory . . Reese substituted freshman Matt Simone for regular Rick Mahonski at 126, but the rookie was no match for the Warrior's once-beaten Greg Shoemaker, losing 7-2. Simone took the early lead on a first period takedown ; but the advantage was short-lived. Shoemaker escaped and utilized a takedown of his own, on his way to his ni_nth straight dual win. SORELY IN NEED of a win, Wilkes co-captain Lon Balum got his team just that, but not without some unexpected trouble from ESSC 134-pounder Galen McWilliams, enroute to a 5-3 decision. Bruce Lear, with his head heavily taped to protect a laceration suffered in Saturday's match with Hofstra, dropped down to 142, and did some cutting of his own into the Stroud team lead, with an ever-so narrow 9-8 decision over sophomore Jody McMullen. The victory didn't come easy for the Wilkes sophomore, however, as he needed a third period penalty point and a hard-earned riding time advantage to cut the Warrior advantage to cut the Warrior advantage to onlv one.

Kessel put DeSalvo on his back four different times during the 150-pound bout, but could only pile up points in the 20-1 win that put his team up by six. DeSalvo's lone score came on a third period escape. Stroud, beset by injury all year, had disaster knock on their door once again at 158, when senior Jack Miller was carried off the mat in a stretcher, after suffering an apparent dislocated elbow ten seconds into his bout with the Colonel's Greg MacLean. MacLean, by virtue of the default win, tied the team score at twelve. THE WARRIORS' JACK Miller took · down Jim Weisenfluh early in the first period, and it was the last time he saw the · mat from up top, as Weisenfluh did it once again with his fam ous cradle; flattening Miller in 3:50. A stalling call with 45 seconds remaining in the bout, cost Dave Gregrow a victory as the blond Colonel 177-pounder had to settle for a 3-3 draw with Stroud's Skip Falcone. · The battle between the two juniors was nip and tuck all the way, with Falcone taking the lead first, but Gregrow recapturing it midway into the second period. · An escape at 2: 07 of the final period gave Gregrow a 3-2 advantage, but Falcone tied it with the penalty point. Warrior 190-pounder Darwin Brodt, who last year beat Jim Weisenfluh, rolled back from a slow start, to pin Bart Cook with only ten seconds left on the clock, to give Stroud new life, and a 20-20 tie with only the heavyweight bout remaining. STROUD HAD SECOND stringer Bill _Kalinowski warming up all during the 190-pound bout, but with the match on the line, Mike Stambaugh, who had been out three weeks with a knee injury, arose from the bench and went out to face the Colonel's Danny House in a battle that would decide the match. Sure enough , Stambaugh had little if any trouble in piling up a 16-7 decision over House, who fell behind right from the start. Colonelettes No Pushover Any Longer SPORTS \.. What a difference a couple of years can make! Throughout the late sixties and early seventies, Misericordia 's annual clash with the Wilkes gi1:,l's basketball team was "easy pickins" for the Highlanders, as they continually blitzed the Blue and Gold year after year. But the days of embarrassment have concluded for the Wilkeswomen, and now the shoe is on the other foot. The turnaround began last year, when Miseri hosted the Colonelettes up in Dallas, and found their guests to be very rude ; suffering a 74-51 shellacking. Last Saturday night, the trend continued, as Wilkes broke away from the Highlanders in the second half, to win convincingly 37-28. Sharing scoring honors for Wilkes, who are now 3-3, were sophomore Karen Oln.ey, and juniors Dottie Martin and Barb Long with eight points apiece. Olney once again did a tremendous job off of the boards, and led her team in that department with fifteen. Wilkes broke out to an early lead, but ran into offensive problems throughout much of the first half. Misericordia narrowed the gap in the opening minutes of the final half, but coach Debby Moyer's team began employing a full court press, and caused several Highlander NOT JUST STANDING AROUND-Blue and Gold cage coach Rodger turnovers. Bearde is pictured up off the bench (surprise!) during recent game with Long, held scoreless in the first Bloomsburg State.

According to Chwalek, some 'students expect to have jobs handed to them, but this is not so in today's business world. "Business firms, for example, have cut down on traveling expenses; therefore, the student in some cases, has to travel to meet them." "The market for business graduates, however, is improving and looks better this year than last year, but students must meet certain qualifications,''. said Chwalek. Good grades and personality are definte qualifications. Also, students should take the opportunities that are available, not _ wait around for "something better." What opportunities are open to students with good grades · ~md pleasant personalities? " We have had over 20 requests for accountants since September.

Chwalek states that more companies are scheduled for the remainder of the semester. Students should stop by the placement office or read the Newsletter for dates of the visiting companies. "Our office is constantly in touch with every major firm to ask what their needs are," said the placement director. How does the market look for female business majors ? "They have ·a good chance if they have a good background, show a desire for business, and prove J o be self-sufficient."

Dr. Swain stressed that at this point the revisions have been approved only by the curriculum committee and must be presented before t,he faculty. Further provisions are possible before the proposed core reaches the faculty in March. The proposed revised core includes physical education, English 101-102, hygiene, and either Fine Arts, Music or Theater Arts 101 in its list of required courses. In the humanities electives students must choose three of the following four course sequences: English 151-152; History 101-102; Philosophy 101 plus one additional course; Foreign Language through the 204 course. Two departmental sequences are suggested for the Mathematics Scierrce electives. The same is true for the Social Science electives. The proposed core would apply to all students either the B.A. or 'B.S. program, with a few possible exceptions. One obvious ~ffect the proposed core would have is the reduction of Sales Field Wide Open "For both male and female business majors, the sales field offers many opportunities.

" Nothing can ruin the reputation of,a school more than to send a student to graduate school who does not have the ability." Kaska :;tated that the credentials of incoming students based on SAT scores indicates that the majority of grades should be C's. However, Kaska cautioned that instructors should not think in terms of any "predetermined formula" such as bell curves. Instead, he said, "We should redefine our standards and give the grades that are deserved. " There is a disparity between the grade averages of the English Department and those of the college as a whole for last semester.

"There is an unlimited abundance of • resources available for pro. grarnming right here at Wilkes. There is no need .to even go outside the campus!" What Mark means is that the various departments, clubs, and other organizations are all welcome to come to the station and discuss any plans they might have for a radio show.

An Environmental Science group has set up ," Weather Watch," an hour program providing a weekend forecast ~nd other reports from travelers advisory to skiing conditions.

Competition is tou gh in many di sciplines at Wilkes College , especially amon g fres hmen and sophomores competing for high grades to receive admittance into Hahnemann M edical College. Many stud ents have voi ced complaints ,to us concerning the extremely di ff icult requirements that mu st be maintained to even be con sidered for entrance into the Philadelphi a institution . . It was interes tin g to note th e " Preferred Area" discussed by Dr . Ralph Rozell e, dean of health sc iences and project director of th e Wilkes-Hahnemann M edi cal Program , at last week's Student Government meeting . Although Roze l le stated that exceptional students from outside Penn sylvan ia and the " contiguous counties" of New York and New Jersey would still be· considered this year, it appears that the program may be cutting ba" k on the severe competition that once existed . With fewer people competing from a wider area, the chances for regional · inaividuals ·.are enhanced. * The refusal to admit any capable student into the Wilkes program, because of his hometown , enables more local people to enter medicine and not compete on a national -level. Rozelle also stated that the decision to admit only in-state students and members of the preferred regions was not a Wilkes policy but one of a joint selection committee, which forecasts the actions of the Hahnemann Admissions Committee. One would think that Wilkes would have more say in the matter of its students who may be eligible in the six-year program . If a person is admitted to Wilkes College he should be eligible for any of its programs and not be penalized because of his place of origin . If he can compete he should be permitted . It appears that Wilkes should be more vocal in the matters of the medical program when dealing with Hahnemann . If students give their word that they wiU practice family medicine in this area , that word should be upheld . One of the tenets of the Wilkes-Hahnemann program . is to produce the best possible doctors in family medicine for this •area . Above all , a physician must be truthful. , It app·ears that the Wilkes-Rahnemann program is slowly becoming a Hahnemann-Wilkes Program as dictated by those in Philadelphia . - order - and to keep it in order . In addition , service curtailments at each of th e three board fac ilities have impaired their effectiveness to the student . The Student Union Building is not open at ~II on weekends. The Pickering Hall game room is open only four hours on Saturdays, and not at all on Sundays. The Commons game room has yet to . open on a regular basis for the spring semester, although S.U .B ..· 9fficials promise such se_rvice begin11ing Monday . Access to game equipment should not be cut back . Rather, access should be expanded, as the profits from the pinball machines are the sole source of the board's income and operating fund s. Without adequate income from these machines, further service curtailments at the ·student Union Building become even. more likely . The best-perhaps the only-wa';( to make best use of the ' Student Union facilities is to centralize all gameroom equipmenfon the first floor of the S.U .B. · With talented and enlightened management, the Student Union facilities can not only be self-sustaining, but they can also provide students with much_-needed recreational ·outlets . .BEACON Editorial A-bused In Incorrect News Article ; In the l~st issue of the SUNDAY INDEPENDENT, the BEACON was quoted regarding its stand in the search for a new Wilkes College president. We object to being used as. a springboard for a factually incorrect news story . · The BEACON was quoted correctly in the Sunday paper . However, sources at Wilkes were never contacted regarding Acting President Capi n's reasons for not applying for the position . We are shocked that the local paper did not employ truthfulness in its reporting but chose to pursue a flavor of sensationalism . When writing an editorial , we do not speak for the student 'body as the SUNDAY INDEPENDENT claime d , but for our own publication . · I Disgra~eful Facilities ·Harm SUB Services It is becoming increasingly apparent that the ~tudent Union Building and the two game rooms are not being managed effectively by the Student Union Board and that immediate action must be taken to rectify tbe situation .

After being told at last week'~ meeting that parties were not allowed there because crowds could . not be regulated, Trimmer suggested that all the side doors in NMD be locked on weekend evenings so that everyone entering the dorm would have to come in through the main entrance where 1D's would be checked. Only dormitory students or their guests would be allowed in. Much discussion was held on the inadequacy of · maid service on campus. , Many ~ouncil members complained· that bathrooms are not being cleaned and carpets are not being swept in the dorms. One IDC representative was disturbed that dorm students are not made aware that maintenance and deaning women have keys to dorm r_sioms. Several members volunteered to look into the possibility of dorm . students cleaning their dorms themselves. · The distribution· of new • pianos· among the girls' dorm'itories.: also , created some dissatisfaction.

The league is divided ir.to two divisions with four teams apiece. Scranton University, King's College, and East Stroudsburg have independent club teams which are included in this league .

The Wilkes team would be probably an independent club team with possibly , some financial support from the college for uniforms and ice rental fees .

Cagers Out Of MAC Running BY PAUL DOMOWITCH ForJack Brabant, his team's 7~2 defeat Tuesday night to Scranton University up at the John Long Center, was a grave miscarriage of justice; a crime that can now, never be righted. The 6-4 forward has had some career during his four years in a Blue and Gold uniformJt was just six days ago that the Glendale, New York resident became the second greatest scorer-in Wilkes· College history. Add to that two ALL-MAC selections in the past couple of seasons, and you have the makings of cage excellence. BUT BRABANT HAS been robbed of the one goal that he has wanted more than anything else; the one goal that as of Tuesday night, is now unattainable in the five days remaining in his collegiate career. That goal is a Middle Atlantic Conference championship. With only tonight's game against Elizabethtown remaining on the Colonel's MAC calendar, they have been eliminated of any remaining hope they had, of making Brabant's wishes become a reality. And they learned the hard way that talent minus experience does not suffice. Coming into the game as the number two ranked Division III team in the country, Scranton took control right from the opening tap, and were never headed. The Colonels battled hard to stay in the game, but inexperience waved its vicious hand, when they lost the ball three consecutive times trying fo in-bound the ball against the Royals pressing defense. Coach Rodger Bearde realized a few minutes into the second half that a comeback was not to be, when he did something very unusual-he sat down. FORTUNATELY FOR BEARDE and the young Colonels, the future does not appear as bleak as the present. With youngsters like McNeil, Nardelli, Hughes, Donahue, Zapko, and Welsh not even in · their prime yet, a realistic shot at an MAC crown is only a year or two away. But that is little consolation for Brabant, guard Mike Prekopa, and forward Frank Britt who won't be around.to see it. Brabant said it best•only a month ago: "I just wish I could stay around another year and piay with these guys, when they start to . put it all together. They are going to be rgeat." · Truer words w_ere never spoken. In fact, the best of the whole lot has not even donned a varsity uniform yet. He's Davidson University transfer Jeff Baird, a 6-7 all-state performer, who is sitting out a year. One year ago, Elizabethtown eliminated Wilkes' final hope of making the MAC playoffs, when with the help of referee Duke Maronic, it beat the Colonels 75-72 down at E-town. Now it is the Blue Jays who are struggling for a playoff bid. They come into tonight's contest with a 5-3 conference record, and must still play Upsala on the road Saturday. Should they lose both of · their remaining conference bouts, they will finish tied for the fourth and final playoff spot with Albright, and would forfeit their tournament opportunity by virtue of an earlier 5449 loss to Albright. Two weeks ago, the Colonels had hoped tonight's game would assure them of a playoff future. Now, with losses to Lycoming and Scranton kissing that dream good bye, there is only pride and the motive of revenge to play for. Only trouble is, all of Bearde's freshmen weren't around last season. Well, there is al~ays pride. Grapplers Anxious For Easterns BY RICH COLAND REA When Colonel 150-pounder Bruce Lear speaks of his participation in the Easterns as "sort of like a dream," he is not kidding. The Wilkes College wrestling team, for the first time in its history, will compete in the prestigious Eastern Inter-collegiate Wrestling Association Tournament, which begins next Friday at Franklin and Marshall College. Most of the grapplers say that the tournament is going to be rough, but Lear seemed to unfold what has to be done. "You've got to think your best and wrestle two days of the best wrestling in your life." · Last year, Lear, all 150 pounds of him, pulled off an upset, by beating a 190-pounder in 'the Division III tourney.

He was .re- ferring to a key system he uses which allows any student who is registered for one of his art courses to go to the library and pick up a key for both the building and the room in order to work on a project. The library has a copy of the class roster. · Casilli said he has recommended that other Art Department faculty members try and control their own areas more by using a key system. It is not yet known who, executed the theft in the art department or what happened to the stolen material. Casilli said that some of the equipment could be used by the individual or individuals who took it and, also, that some of it could be sold, Concerning the Commons game room incident, Baltruchitis said a second-floor window was apparently broken to gain access to the facility. He added that Dave Trethaway, manager of the game room, told him that he "has a good idea of who broke in." Baltruchitis added that the suspects are students. Roth Novelty Company, owner of the equipment, removed two pinball machines from the game room for repairs last Thursday and replaced them with a single machine. , The security system at Wilkes has changed during the past month but not because of theft in the SLC, according to Francis Salley, faculty coordinator of the SLC. _ The use of sensitive alarm systems from Triple A Alatrn pompany By Mary Stencavage , The Company has comp eted an The Cincinnati Ballet Company, engagement ·at the nationally under the direction of David renowned New York Dance FestiMcLain, will perform en Sunday, val's Delacorte Theater in New York February 29, at 8 p.m. in the Center City in August, 1975. for the Performing Arts.

By Sandy Akromas 1 "What's your major?" "Education." (Snicker) "Good Luck." Sound familiar? Unfortunately, that is the story these days. Education majors are definitely on the bottom rung of the job market ladder. Unlike the scene some five years ago where recruiters were abundant, nowadays recruiters from school districts are virtually nonexistent. Jobs are available, but it is up to the students to get them. Some individuals resort to the political tactics to secure a position, which seems to be the ticket to the job. Connections are sometimes needed depending on the school district. Others will' wait around until someone passes away. A good start is to substitute. It may not be very secure, but it is a beginning. "What Wilkes students forget is that there are not that many jobs in anything," asserted Assistant Professor Edwin Johnson of the Education Department. "There is somewhat of a decline in the number of students taking student teaching because they think the market for teachers is not that good. Student teaching is a dimension· students need and will profit by . . . it provides a job option and 18 credits . . . this of course pertains to the secon_d_ary ed major." "Student teaching also provides an insurance policy,· especially for women.

Falkowski, the Student Union Board assistant director for the facility, contends major renovations are needed to make the building more accessible and serviceable. One of Falkowski's top priorities for the building is an interior stairway between the first floor and basement. Also, he would like to see some sort of enclosure between the Commons and the rear entrance to the S.U.B. to encourage greater use even in inclement weather. Falkowski has advocated both measures for some time. but the shaky financial condition of the Student Union Board prevented any actions on these or other renovations to the facility. He said the building " operates on a zero budget." The board has not allocated any funds to the building except to pay for operating expenses. "We had asked the college for a ~,000 . to $6,000 l?an to. make unmediate renovations, with repayment .on . a long-term basis," Falkowski said. However, he added that nothing ever came of the request. Falkowski al~o pointed out that the Student Umon Board ~ast year requested a $2,000 allocation from the Student Government budget.

One of the biggest headaches a college student can face is the question of financial aid. The transition from high school to college is not an easy one and the mountain of forms that must be filled out and filed may seem endless. But once the initial shock wears off, the student can make some sense out of it all. The first step is to file a Parents Confidential Statement (PCS). This form is sent to the College Scholarship Service in Princeton, New Jersey, who studies the information gi_ven and comes up with a formula to decide . 'll reasonable amount for the student's parents_to pay and for the college to contribute. Several factors are taken into consideration, such as the parent's income and the number of other children attending college. · At Wilkes, about 75 percent of the .student population is receiving some form of financial assistance. Many receive more than . one kind. Financial Aid comes in a variety of forms, including work-study programs, merit scholarships, federal grants and loans. The Wilkes College Financial Aid Committee is comprised of 11 members which meet at least once a month. At each meeting they discuss appeals or review cases. "I don't know of anyone who ever had to quit because of lack of money whose need was legitimate," commented Walter Placek, chairman of the committee. The fact was stressed that there was a wide variety of aid available to the student. A complete listing of scholarships and aid packages is available at Chase Hall or in the Wilkes College Bulletin. Federal and state grants and loans are given to applicants on the basis of need. Occasionally there are cases where people don't qualify for assistance.

We support the AMNICOLA in this endeavor. The small staff can be seen working steadfastly on the first floor of Shawnee Hall during the academic year. The spring semester, especially, is a time of intense activity in order to meet the final deadlines. Since the yearbook is a publication for and about the student body, each individual should receive one. · In fact, at a recent Student Government: meeting the comment was dropped that the SG body is adequately secure financially and as a res.ilt the student activit y fee may decrease because of it . _ M l ss Morano has proposed that a maximum of $5 be added on to that fee so that everyone at Wilkes will possess the $18 book of events . Let's not allow the dedicated work of the AMNICOLA staff to be rewarded with a subscription of only 400 copies for a student population of 2,200.

Cool Actions Commended In Possible Fire Crisis SG �Fe~ruary 26, 1976 Pages The Beacon ~arilyn Eck Gets Experience.in Swaziland By Janine Pokrinchak "I loved it; I'd like to go back," comments Marilyn Eck concerning her teaching experience in Swaziland. From September 1973 until December 1975, the Shavertown resident taught science, biology, mathematics and English at an American mission school in this South African country. Graduating from Susquehanna University in 1966 with a B.A. in Chemistry, Miss Eck is currently at Wilkes to obtain a teaching certificate. She will be student teaching at Wyoming Seminary this semester in order to complete her teaching requirements. Previous to her stay in Swaziland, Marilyn attended Wilkes part-time fulfilling other teaching requirements. Not· sponsored by any organization, Miss Eck went to Swaziland as "a private citizen." While visiting her sister, who is a teacher sponsored by the Mennonites_.. Marilyn decided to apply for a position. She commented that -Swaziland lacks teachers and she "liked the situation." After a six week -visit honie, the student teacher returned to Swaziland and began her job. Swaziland is a relatively new nation, gaining its independence only eight years ago. Before that, Swaziland was a British colony, where, according to Miss Eck, education of the Swazis was not stressed. However, since the establishment of the new government, a " great demand for teachers" has been initiated by the push for universal education. The Swazis begin school at a later age that most American students. Marilyn said the students in high school are 11 to 27 years old. Boys may start school as late as 13 or 14 years of age because they must tend the family cattle, which determines the family's economic status. There are between 40 and 50 students in a class, and not all students are attending school. Unlike the United States, Miss Eck added that the families suffer "real hardship" in paying for the children's education until colle1e. When the it is a traditional society, Marilyn student reaches college, the govern- 1noted one receives " automatic re- O ment pays for his education. Many spect."

Languages are good if you have two of them or a language and a different subject. • Overabundance of Arti sts Education is not the only overcrowded field; fine arts majors are going to meet with stiff competition in the job. market. One art professor stated the hard fact: "There is an overabundance of artists." "With this in mind, the individual has to decide wnat he wants, and if he has the capabilities to get it and put up with it ... " "In New York City, for example, the competition is even tougher. It takes a certain kind oj .individual to put _up with th«: 'hanky-panky. frompagel It's unfortunate·t·there are so · th rt. many opportun1 ies m e a field." It is to one's advantage to have a liberal arts background. "I think an artist should have a background of literature, science, history, and math. A professional art school provides a great deal of . studio work, but an artist needs these courses for personal growth." , 'Their experience in per·11 b h l db sonal growth WI e e pe y liberal arts either directly or indirectly." Offering advice, she said, " I think to get anywhere, fine arts majors should be encouraged to have continual exposure and growth ... some should be encouraged to go to grad school ... but there are exceptions." Henry Casilli, chairman of the Fine Arts Department. offers a solution to the in-coming fine arts majors. "Through an individualized studies program, with a possible apprenticeship, a student could receive training in a number of areas." "For example, LCCC students complete a two-year course of study in commercial art then come to Wilkes to receive· a fine arts background. Through an individualized program, our students could possibly take courses at LCCC. It would be a dual involvement." At the present time, there are no formal commitments to an apprenticeship, but' according to Casilli, he has had , more responses to the fine arts flyer (sent to high schools) Most emplo~e~ think twice about htnng people with ·. criminal records. I· February 26, 1976 The Beacon Phone fraud will result in a criminal record. than in the past. He noted that it does take a strong individual, who is willing to do something different, to be involved in the individualized studies program. "The present proposal in the core curriculum revision would help art majors. It would provide them with the choice of taking a minor or a double major. This gives them more of a chance in the job market." Double Majors Encouraged Mathematics majors are also strongly encouraged to take a double major, according to Dr. Bing Wong, chairman of the Mathematics Department. A double major in math and foreign language, for example, gives the future teacher an edge over someone who just has the math degree. "A natural field to combine with mathematics is economics. Prestigious graduate schools accept more matheconomics majors with a degree than just business majors," asserted the department chairman, "math lends itself to management and economics." Dr. Wong highly recommends students to attend . graduate school. "One's training will determine his job and salary. The better trained the student is, the better qualified he is for the better position." · "Some companies (IBM, Bell Laboratories) will hire our graduates, and at the company's expense, send them for additional training." Mathematics majors can . choose a career in a variety of opportunities: industry computer programming; operations research; statistics; or consulting; government; and in the actuarial science field. Dr. Wong also stated a little item which students may overlook: "Opportunities are there for the individual to make." Club To Attend Mock Convention At Bloomsburg With the 1976 presidential election campaign in full swing, the Political Science Club is sponsoring a series of activities intended to promote student understanding of and involvement in the presidential selection process. The club will participate in Bloomsburg State College's simulated Democratic National Convention to be held April 9 and 10 in Bloomsburg. Colleges and high schools throughout the Northeastern United States will send delegations of students to the event to represent each state of the union in balloting for the Democratic presidential and vice-presidential nominees. Additionally, the 1400 students will adopt a party platform. A list of prominent speakers will present lectures as part of the Bloomsburg convention process. This series begins with an address by Sen. George McGovern (D.-S.D.), the 1972 Democratic standard bearer, on March 25. The convention, which attracts extensive news media coverage, is considered a barometer of student opinion on the presidential contest. It is open to all students, regardless of political affiliation. In addition to sending a delegation to the convention, the Political Science Club will conduct a presidential preference poll using county voting machines. Wilkes students will be able to cast their ballots for the Democratic or Republican candidate they feel should be president. Also, the club intends to invite representatives of the various presidential candidates to speak on campus. Students interested in becoming delegates to the Bloomsburg convention or in participating in any other Political Science Club activity are asked to attend a special meeting Tuesday, March 2, at noon in the club's offices on -the lower level of Franklin Hall. .... - 1 Weput some of America's most imP91:tant natural resources - into the ground.

The mermen haf;l hoped to end the dual meet schedule with a .500 record, but a power-packed Binghamton team set them back 61-50, in a rough contest that wasn't decided until the final relay. But this year's team is the best that Wilkes College has ever possessed, and with a few additions, could be a champion in the near future. The team's forecast is bright but it will also lose four senior members via graduation in May. Each senior has a different swimming background, but each also plays a very special role on the team. The mermen may lose coach Richard Marchant by graduation _:_ Marchant rebuilt the swim team, when it had reached an all-time low, and has brought it to respectability. _ Marchant has been swimming practically all his life. He was captain of his-high school team in Norwich, N.Y., and presently holds five Wilkes records in the butterfly and freestyle events. Senior co-captain Garry Taroli will also hang up his trunks after 12 years of swimming. The political science major lettered for four years, earned over 23 individual points this year, and helped earn some 21 relay points for the team. But more important than his swimming ability, is his special talent for le~ding a diversified group of swimmers into a cohesive, caring team. • It seems strange to picture this team without Taroli to calm the pre-meet jitters with his "off the wall" stories, or to volunteer to swim exhibition so a poorer swimmer could gain some extra points. When credit is handed out for rebuilding the swimming program, the coach deserves a lot of praise bu~ Taroli was also a strong asset to Wilkes swimming. Tom Runiewicz· has only been swimming on the team for two years, but has improved tremendously. The commerce and finance major never professed to be an expert swimmer, but he never gave up. His freestyle time has come. down over 20 seconds, and he has scored some valuable points in the -100-yard freestyle event. 'WHOSE E N£W \(ID Joe Dettmore joined the swim team this year right after recovering from a football injury. He swam for the Wilkes-Barre CYC in his younger days and was inspired by coach Marchant to try out his breaststroke again in the pool. The team will miss these · four outstanding athletes in next year's roster, but their spirit and sense of dedication will live on for some time and will be passed on to new swimmers. NEWS ITEM: ACH ·IS BACK Artillery Park just wasn't going to be the same this season, without good old Ach around. For four years, Bob Duliba had served under Gene Domzalski as the Colonel's assistant baseball coach. But · 1ast May, the thirty-five year old ex-major leaguer had finally earned his college degree from Wilkes, and was off to Wyoming Area High School to accept a teaching position and coach baseball there. . Th~ players were going to miss him. They h9;d become- accustomed to his constant good-natured insults tha,t kept them loose, wh.en loose~ess appeared impossible. They had become accustome_d to seemg the slight man with the balding head hitting fungos, with a wad ot Red Man expanding his cheek, until it appeared that he had_ the '!1umps. Win or lose, Ach's words were usually the same; msultmg. But somehow, the players knew when he approved, and when he disapproved. Yes, they had become accustomed to his face, but until a few weeks ago, it appeared they liad better begin getting unaccustomed to it. Everyone thought Ach was a sure bet to take over as Wyoming Area's new heart baseball coach But there was only one problem. Last year's mentor, had decided retirement wasn't his bag--yet. They did offer Dubila job as assistant diamond coach, but he said nix to that. "I'd rather stay on as assistant coach at Wilkes," he told them. And so the 1976 season is already beginning to look mighty good for the Colonels.' When practice opens next month, Ach will be back in his regular position shouting insults, and spitting chew, and Domzalski and the players couldn't be happier about it. a TALLYHO CHAPS! Tomorrow morning, we pack our bags and head down to Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster for Wilkes' indoctrination into the Eastern Wrestling Tournament. It's going to be an interesting weekend, both on and off the mats. Lately, we've been having these strange visions concerning the way the . Cornells, Yales, and Princetons act at the Eastern tournament, compared to a Johnny-come-lately ghetto kid like Wilkes. The comparison goes something like this: ' Wilkes: Beat on 'em Lonny.

Bearde commented, " The most satisfying win this year was when we beat Albright in overtime down in Reading.

It began 72 years ago with a membership -of three (Prjnceton, Rutgers, and Yale), but has grown into one of the most prestigious mat events i_g the nation, complete with a vintage history and a calibre of talent second to none. Gone are the days of the Middle Atlantic Conference blitzltriegs, when coach John Reese's Colonels would make a mockery of the tournament year after year, by winning everything in sight with very little labor. In its place is a challenge; a challenge that won't be as easy to conquer as its predecessor, but one that will be well worth every drop of sweat that it takes to succeed on this new plateau. Six wrestlers will be returning to defend their Eastern crowns this weekend, including Lehigh's two national champions, Mike Frick (134) and Mike Lieberman (177), and NCAA runnerup John Janiak (158) of Syracuse. other defending titlists are Lehigh's Lance Leonhardt (118) and Don McCorkel (190), and Syracuse 150-pounder Ken Wilson. The BEACON scouting report of the ten weight classes looks like this: US-Lehigh's Leonhardt is trying hard to get back down to his 1975 weight, and if he can do it, he'll be the class of the lightweights once again. George Medina of Syracuse will give Leonhardt his stiffest challenge, but keep your eye on Temple's Jim Wolfe. In the Owl's upset \tictory over Syracuse last weekend, Wolfe hammered Medina into the mat. Two months ago, Roy Preefer would have been up among the favorites, but he's lost something, and unless he finds it · by tomorrow, they'll be no trip to Tuscon. Navy's Mark Costello, who finished second last year at 118, Tom Ford of Franklin & Marshall, and Tom Coleman of Army give this weight plenty of depth, and the possibility of a number of upsets. · ·126-Navy's Mike Beck (3rd in '75) and Randy Gilette of Syracuse wiil be the top two seeds at this weight. Gilette finished only fifth last year, but has come on strong this season. Lehigh's Bob Sloand won an Eastern title two years ago, but he's never quite regained that 1974 form, and will have to struggle to place. The Colonel's Rick Mahonski could very well challenge, if unpleasant memories of setbacks to Beck and Gilette don't clog his brain. Joe Nisivoccia of Rutgers placed sixth last season, and along with Princeton's Kev.in Roesch, Cornell's Tom Schaeffer, and Army's Bob Vottero will be the best of the rest. 134-The question here is not who is going to win, but who's , going to finish second. Lehigh's Mike Frick will no doubt win a third Eastern,title, with Ty Hamilton of Temple (sixth in '75), Syracuse's Tom Debiasse, and the Colonel's Lon Balum right in the thick of the runnerup race. This is a well-balanced weight class however, and WORKING AND WORRYING-Junior 126-pounder Rick Mahonski (left), and his coach John Reese (right), are pictured during "calmer moments" at a recent practice session. The Colonels will leave today at noon for Lancaster. Weigh-ins begin at 5, and preliminary action begins tomorrow at noon. Harvard's Charlie Allen, Princeton's Mike Nuchols (fifth in '75), and Tom Bauer (fourth in '75) will also challenge for second and third. 142-Yale's national champ Jim Bennett hasn't performed up to expectations thus far this season, but he still is a heavy favorite, with Tihamer Toth-Fejel of Lehigh capable of upsetting him if he's on. Surprising Temple has another good one here in Ed Rivera, who beat Princeton's Dennis Underkoffler, a third place finisher here last year, but lost to Bennett 13-4 in duals. Syracuse's Pat Greene, Columbia's Dave Vitiello, and Colonel freshman Al Grohol won't be among the top three, but they will make it interesting. ·:r:i- ..•.•.•..•.•.•-.•.•......•..•. :··•-•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•... ....•.. .•.•.•.•.•-•.•.•.•.•.•.•-•.•.•..•.•.•.•... .•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.::::::::::::::::::: ·::::::::::: ·::::: ·:: .•.•.•.•.....~~ lllil F~ture Very Bright For Colonel Cagers lllii J: - BY JEFF ACORNLEY :!:!: Contrary to popular belief, the most ::::: exciting thing that happened to this :::::year's basketball team was not the J addition of the majorettes performing [:l::at the games, nor was it Coach :=:::Bearde's flashy leisure suits. ::::: The team's semi-dismal season can be blamed in part to injuries and in:::::experience, not necessarily in that !:!:]order.

These are the. kind of mistakes that lack of experience causes and also lose games. There were times during the season that there were as many as four freshmen on the court at one time. It is tough to make the playoffs under conditions like those. Coach Bearde's biggest disappointments, aside from the obvious one of not making the playoffs, were that Jack Brabant didn't close out his sterling career on a winning note-and that Frank Britt and Mike Prekopa didn't get to play their complete senior seasons. Prekopa injured his shoulder when he{ slipped in the locker room and fell down a set of steps.

However, S)Tacuse senior Ken Wilson appears to have a lock on his second consecutive Eastern title, with light challenges from Lear, Jeff Steiner of Navy, and Bill Grubman of Princeton. 158-Syracuse national runnerup John Janiak has moved back down to·this weight since his 16-14 loss to Jim Weisenfluh on January 17, but hasn't looked impressive as of late, and could lose his crown to a multitude of talented middleweights including John Althans of Navy, Princeton's Bill Miron (fourth in '75), and the afore-mentioned Schwartz of Yale, who lost in last year's finals to Janiak, 8-3. Othet less impressive challengers are Yale's Matt D'Annunzione, Lehigh's Jeff Duke, and Amir Khan of Rutgers. 167-If all goes as expected, it will _be Weisenfluh and Lehigh'~ils Deacon battling in an exciting return match in Saturday night's finals. Weisenfluh lost to him last time because he needed a pin to put his team back in the match. He doesn;t need a pin now, but he may get one just the same.' Battling for third will be Jim Jenks of Syracuse, Tom Cunningham of Temple, Roger Fleischer of Navy, and sleeper Mike Knesevitch of Penn. 177-Mike Lieberman is back in action once again, after being sidelined with a neck injury, and will walk away with this title. The battle for second shapes up as a good one though, with Wilkes' Bart Cook, Princeton's Keith Ely, and · Temple's Carmen Moreno right in the thick of things. Moreno is a stud, and went to the same high school as the Colonel's injured 142-pounder, Casper Tortella. If Navy's Ken Goodrow shows up tomorrow, he will be the leading challenger for second over this younger crop, but he too has been hampered by injuries. 190-Yale's Neal Brendel has been almost unbeatable at heavyweight this season, but will move back down a notch to 190, where he placed third last year, and looms as the favorite in 1976. Navy's Greg Cooper and the Colonel's Dave Gregrow will probably lock horns once again, and the winner may end up in the finals with a little luck. Cooper pinned him in duals. other challenges will come from Sal D' Agostino of Harvard, Ted Petty of Rutgers, and yet another Temple surprise, Jack Coughlin. Franklin & Marshall's Steve Paterno is bound to be down after his defeat' a week ago to Gregrow, but could bounce back. Also keep your eyes on a sleeper of a sleeper- Tom Wagner of Columbia. HWT.-Lehigh's Don McCorkel won it at 190 last year, and . will be favored to make it two· in a row up at heavyweight: He's one of the best in the country, but Princeton's John Sefter has been coming on strong, and will make it tough for the Engineer. , There are a lot of other good big boys here also, with Yale's Ken Stewart (third in '75), Roger Mitchell of Navy, Bob .Bickehnan of F&M, Bill Brown of Syracuse, and Wilkes' own Danny House just a few. For Wilkes, the battle is just beginning. The days of nine individual champions and 200 team points are only memories. They're in tough company now, and will have to scratch and claw for everything they get. But once they have it, it'll be that much more satisfying.

The psy,chology majors, for example, can take up to 15 credits in economics, history, political science, or sociology. They are encouraged to study all the subjects in the social science curriculum. "This certification makes the student more employable, and able to teach any of the social science courses. It's good for those interested in secondary teaching," expressed Jon Hobrock, assistant professor of the psychology department. In the psychology department's pamphlet, "The Job Search - A Guide for Psychology Majors," it states: "There are good jobs available to the undergraduate psychology major - jobs which are quite often related to the student's osvchology background." "With just a BA degree, students can go into teaching, social work community service, personnel work (industry), government, general administrative trainee jobs and counseling," said Hobrock. "However, jobs in the Wyoming Valley are tight." "For those wishing to pursue their master's and doctorate in clinical psychology, the field is extremely . competitive. For example, at Penn State in 1973-74, they received over 433 applications for clinical psychology. They accepted six. Also, the minimum requirements for the GRE's is a 1300 score," cited the assistant professor. . "Admissions are little easier for counseling as a school psychologist. School psychologists are above guidance counselors," indicated . Hobrock. Psychology majors should not ... neglect business. Industries need ,\ · . . personnel consultants. "I think students should take a double major -- either in business, education or sociology. They should not just take • a single major," advised Hobrock. "A student has to hustle, make himself more valuable, and find 'a' job,' not 'the' job." ____ _ · Students Save · Worker's Lif ~ Maybe you're a confirmed cream ale man.

Three Wilkes College students are credited with possibly saving the life of a Wilkes maintenance man who suffered a heart attack and slight stroke, according to Nelson Carle, superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. · Carle stated that maintenance men Mike Deblo and Ralph Deobold were moving furniture from the basement of the Stark Learning Center when Deblo "went rigid" and . passed out. Three students, whose names are not known, immediately went to his aid, administering mouth to mouth resuscitation and cardiac massage. The two men and young woman had Deblo breathing normally by the time an ambulance arrived and transported him to Nesbitt Hospital, where he was placed in the intensive care unit. According to Carle, "If it hadn't been for these three kids, Deblo probably wouldn't be around." The three students are asked to · contact the Public Relations office. Correction A quote appeared incorrectly in last week's employment article. It should have read: "It's unfortunate there are so many opportunists in the art field." �Page4 The Beacon March 4, 1976 SUB Surfaces After Crash Dive We are pleased to note the substantial progress that has been made in the past week by Dean Edward Baltruchitis in putting the Student Union Board on the road to responsible management . It is eminent good sense to require Student Union Building employees to work while on duty . Work-study students else-where on .campus are assigned specific tasks to complete on the job , so why should board employees merely babysit the Student Union Building when elementary housecleaning tasks need urgent attention? While Baltruchitis' efforts have done much to provide the Student Union Board with sound and effective management, the board should realize there is no room for complacency ." Major renovations are needed to improve the services available to students from the Student Union facilties . We strong ly urge the board jo immediately begin planning for the improvement of all its faci Ii ties and services, with particular emphasis to be placed on renovations to the Student Union Huilding. If the board can complete this planning within the next · several weeks, it might be able to get prompt Student Government approval for funding. · We hope Student Government members realize that if any improvements to board facilities are to be successful, SG's cooperation is essential. As much as $5,000 might be needed for renovations. We trust Student Government will not be miserly with their funds . It is possible that work on the Student Union Building could get underway this summer if planning can be completed quickly and approval obtained promptly. By September, the Student Union Building could well be the kind of facility former Student "Govern'men~ President Pete Jadelis dreamed it would one day be. --------Letters To The Editor----- ;1-.:.·_ _....:,.....:.,....;.._~, _ _...;__;._ _;._ _ _ _ _ _.;..._..;.._ _ _ _ _--, BEACON Editorial Concerning SUB Questioned Financial Aid applications are now available on the first floor of Chase Hall.

The SUB is mainly a non-profit, non-political organization and the money that they do take in is used to pay SUB workers and the remainder of that to upkeep the SUB. To put it bluntly, I believe the writer of Jast week's . article over-exaggerated the appearance of the SUB as a "filthy, crumbling warehouse." I admit the walls could use some paint but this doesn't classify the building as filthy. As to the restrooms being "disgraces," they are as decent · as the ones provided in the Commons. ' I also challenge the writer of the i February 19 article to find those fiberboard panels "piled''. along the walls. If you are refemng to the gray and black boar~ hung on the walls, these serve as di~play bo8:rds for photographs and mformabon, such as is on most bulletin boards providing students with campus information. As to the hours the S~B ) s open, these hours are effective because these are when workers are available. · In the February 19 article the writer unjustly put the blame of the appearance of the SUB completely on the shoulders of the SU Bo~rd. , How Did Theft Occur I~ Art Department?

I think Wilkes should reimburse any student such as myself who has lost one thing and another over the past couple of years. Doesn't Wilkes have insurance to cover this? I think Mr. Salley has double talked about the wish "to take precaution against whatever may happen in the future and not as a response to what did happen", because Wilkes was already paying Del-Cap when all this r~bbery t?ok place in the Art Dept.

Low Overhead Means Low Prices �March 4, 1976 The ~aeon Sports Chatter By Paul Domowitch OUT OF THE NOTEBOOK -The following are some of the more notable occurrences ~orth jotting into our notebook during the course of last weekend's trip to Lancaster. Friday, Feb. 27: --Quarterfinals over, and only three Colonels still alive: Jimmy, Dave, and Ricky. Sitting around motel room shooting bull with Owen Costello, Pat Burke, and George Pawlush, and just received an earful. Three years ago, John Reese had NCAA rwmerup Chris Campbell signed, sealed, and about to be delivered to Wilkes-Barre, only to have his package stolen. Out of Westfield, N.J., Campbell's mom was widowed and he wanted to stay near home. Thanks to one of Wilkes' recruiters up in that area, Chris had become convinced Wilkes was the school for him. Then, one month before the fall semester of 1973, Olympic gold _m edalist Dan Gable, who was assistant coach at his alma mater Iowa,.personally came East, and begged Campbell to at least fly out and see the campus. He did, and Wilkes never saw him after that. · --What a story in prelims today! Harvard's Ed Bordley, a 167-pounder, is blind. He lost to nwnber two-seeded Nils Deacon, 6-2, but crowd gave the gutsy kid a standing ovation. --Harvard also has kid named Dave Albert. His father is none other than Speaker of the House Carl Albert, who will present Outstanding Wrestler Award tomorrow night. MAC never had anything like this. Their award presenters were a 96-year-old rabbi, and the winner of Elizabethtown's 50-50 raffle. -- Temple freshman Carmel Marino, who is seeded third at 177, is from the same high school as ihe Colonel's Casper Tortella. Wilkes altnost landed Marino, but one day he asked Casper, "Will I have to study there?" Tortella answered in the affirmative, and Marino quickly enrolled at Temple with a full ride in his pocket. -- Colonel heavyweight Danny House came within a whisker today of flattening Lehigh's Don McCorkel. Figuring he had nothing to lose and everything to gain against the number one seed, he threw him with a Japanese whizzer, and it almost worked. He lost 10-2, but he's coming on. --The Tonight Show stinks. Going to bed. - · Saturday, Feb. 28: · --Still excited about Mahonski's victory over Mike Beck. He was sky-high going into the match, but didn't figure him to turn the trick, after Beck's 13-3 pounding in duals. Was losing 64 with five seconds left in regulation, when referee hit Beck with a stalling point. Ricky's riding time advantage tied it up. In overtime, he reversed Beck twice, the last time with twenty ticks left in OT, to pull it out 4-3. Had to be best match of his career, bar none. --S)Tacuse's John Janiak got crowd angered with constant stalling tactics in semi's. He won, but as he left the mat, the 1975 NCAA runnerup made obscene gesture to crowd. Not much class in that kid, or his coach for that matter, who has been on the officials' backs during this entire tournainent. I guess there will be bushness wherever you go. -- Two years ago, the Lehigh fans used to call him "Tommy Toth." He was an unknown out of California, with a name too complicated to remember. But his anonymity is behind him, and Tihamer Toth-Fejel made quite an impression on everyone here, enroute to 142-pound title. Beat Navy's Jeff Steiner 6-2 in semi's, and hammered Temple's Ed Rivera 11 . finals, 7-2. He'll be tough in Tuscon. --It's over now. Ricky lost to Sloand in the finals, Jimmy revenged an earlier loss to Nils Deacon, and won the Outstanding Wrestler Award, and Lehigh walked away with the team title. There had always been some lingering skepticism in the back of our minds, as to whether Wilkes made the right move by entering the EIWA, and turning Division I. But that doubt is gone now. The Colonels belong here, even if they don't walk away with nine individual champions. The MAC's are fast becoming a joke, and it won't be very long before Division III becomes terminal (there is talk now, that small-college champs will not be able to qualify for the University tournament in the not too distant future ). . Yes, the Colonels belong here; John Reese belongs here. And if you still need proof of that, buy a ticket to next year's Eastei:ns.

Coach John Reese had high hopes of sending a strong contingent of Weisenfluh's teammates with him on the plane ride west, but only one will accompany him--Rick Mahonski. Until last weekend, Mahonski hadn't lived up to the reputation he built for himself as a freshman, when he placed second in the Division III nationals. But the 126-pounder came out of his.,.cocoon at F&M to finish second, losing in Saturday night's finals to Bob · Sloand of Lehigh. While Mahonski couldn't duplicate Weisenfluh's championship efforts, his moment under the sun came in the semi-finals, when he beat top-seeded Mike Beck of Navy in overtime, 6-6, _4-3.

It would narrow defeats Reese spoke of were Lonny Balum's 4-2 loss at 134 to Navy's Tom Bauer, 142-pound freshman John DeSalvo's 11-10 loss to Columbia Art Santiago, and Bruce Lear's 5-3 setback to another Columbian, Brian , Braughman. Bauer went on to finish-third, while Santiago and Baughman placed fourth . For 190-pounder Dave Gregrow, defeat canie painfully. Seeded fourth , the junior had made it all the way to the semi-finals before suffering a shoulder injury in his match with Yale's Neal Brendal, who won the title at that weight. Gregrow wanted to continue in consolations, and try and earn a third place finish, which would have qualified him for the NCAA's, but the doctors felt he had pulled something in his arm and advised against it. Finishing up in third was Lehigh throw-in Guy Talarico, who Gregrow pinned in 7:49 of their quarter final bout. The most unexpected surprise for Reese came at heavyweight, where Danny House finished fifth. Matched up against defending EIWA champ Don McCorkel in the preliminaries, House lost 10-2, but battled back in Freshman Bart Cook was already something going into the Easterns. Having a great first year, the rookie out of Neptune, New J ersey was seeded fifth at 177, and appeared a cinch to glide into the semi's. Unfortunately, the glide met with some rough sledding in the preliminaries, and he was upset by Colgate's Dave Ceponis. To make matters worse, Ceponis ,was knocked off in the next round, and Cook was ineligible for consolations. "I've never seen Bart so tight:" assist~nt coach Brooke Ye?ger said following the loss. You can t wrestle well when you're tense, and Bart found that out the hard way." They all did in their first trip to the "big time". No, this was n~ ordinary wrestli~g tournament, this . Eastern affair. From the calibre of wrestlers that included national champions like Frick, Lieberman, and Bennett, right on down to its distinguished award presenters, it was a first class operation. And while the Colonels didn't come out shooting in their debut, they left notice with the EIWA that they are on their way. fo~~~~ r~:~~:~:~!r;h~o~~~e!~~~~~ch for a I Tuscon Ticketholders · EIWA Final Results t t•:• ti ·· ' l~ohn Janiak, Syracuse (1st) :::: Marty Schwartz, Yale (2nd) :_.: .: · ll~Mark Costello, Navy (1st ) John Althans, Navy (ard) George Medina, Syracuse (2nd) E~jj Lance Leonhardt, Lehigh (ard) · , +Jay Stuart, Princeton (4th) ;•:•: 1:::: 126-Bob Sloand, Lehigh (1st) 167-Jim Weisenfluh Wilkes (1st) .~:: Riclt Mahonski, Wilkes (2nd) Nils Deacon, Lehigh (2nd) ···· Randy Gilette, Syracuse (3rd) · her, N. avy (3r d) :::: ~oger Fle1sc :::: I 177_Mike Lieberman, :::: 134-Mike Frick, Lehigh (1st) :j:j Charlie Allen, Army (2nd) Lehigh (1st) ....

Fields reveals "the two themes of the play are the difficulty of communication and mendacity, or lying." During the course of action within a scene, all members of the cast, including those not in the scene will be present seated on stage on the side. There is no privacy. Characters cannot talk alone and there is eavesdropping. The lies go on even when the others can really hear. . Williams' non-realistic approach theatrical. It is e ression- _ . _ istic and symbolic. There is no communication and there is no attachment. Joanne Saporito, senior English major from Wilkes-Barre, is assistant to the director. She had spent a great deal of time setting up slides which will be used as a dream segment. She has taken over 60 slides of the characters in costume. Each act ends with a slide depicting an event in the character's memory. The most important behind the scenes person is director Fields who will no longer be teaching at Wilkes @On completion of this' semester. "Since this is my last play, I want it to be my best." Fields explains that this play is not particularly a college crowd pleaser because there is not much action. Acts One and Two are almost complete monologue.

Drew Landmesser, senior English Theater Arts major, oversees all problems and works in all phases of production. As the technical director his biggest concern in " Cat" is the light design. He has to deal with many special effects, including fireworks in which he uses flash pots. As the tension in the action increases, so does the volume of the thunder and the intensity of the lightning he creates.

"We provide research, advice and assistance to governmental and quasi-governmental organizations," explained IRA Director .Andrew Shaw, Jr. "We help local, governments on such matters as fiscal and physical planning, organizational and general operational problems, and other management problems that confront government throughout this region." One of the major tasks of the IRA is sponsoring annual training programs for firemen, policemen, civil defense workers, and other government employees. Last year, 1,400 certificates of attainment were awarded to municipal officials and employees who successfully ,.completed IRA training programs. To train firemen, army reservists, and police S.W.A.T. squads, the IRA operates and maintains a 30-acre site in Hanover Township known as Concrete City. Provides Civil Service Testing The IRA also conducts and evaluates civil seryice tests for police and firemen in Northeastern Pennsylvania municipalities. The IRA-sponsored training programs for members of the Luzerne County Civil Defense organization were cited in 1974 by the U.S. Defense Civil Preparedness Agency. "Many of our activities involve the day-to-day problems of communities," notes Shaw. "Local governments have been relying more and more on federal and state funds in recent years. So when they need expertise in obtaining and managing these programs, they come here to ask 'How do you handle this?' or 'How do you do this?"' Shaw said.

Philip Tuhy, the IRA's planning specialist, has served as senior planner for the Luzerne County Planning Commission and as acting director of the Wilkes-Barre City Department of Planning. Teresa McDonald, who doubles as the college's director of federal programs and institutional research, came to the IRA in 1972 after serving with the Northern Tier, Pennsylvania, Regional Planning Commission. Walter Niehoff was borough manager in two Carbon County communities and director of research for the Pennsylvania Economy League's Central Division before coming to the IRA. Shaw also served with the PEL before being appointed IRA director in 1972. All IRA staffers also are professors of political science for the college and work . closely with the Political Science Department's chairman, Dr. Jean Driscoll, in providing a balanced and thorough political. science education.

But gaining fame in Wilkes intramural basketball circles is yet another ancestor of an original-USUC III. USUC Ill is not to be confused with its father USUC II, or even its grandpappy, the original USUC. And one thing it certainly won't be mistaken for is a mediocre basketball team, because this squad, peculiar name and all, ranks as one of the best intramural cage clubs in Wilkes history. It all began two years ago, when a pair of sophomores, Len Malashefski and Greg Snyder organized USUC. Two years prior, the pair had been starters on Nanticoke Area High School's district championship team. The_ 5-10 Snyder was an all-league guard, while the 6-3 Malashefski_ received-similar honors as a high scoring forward for the Trojans. THAT FIRST YEAR, they picked up their former high school teammate Don Casey, a 6-4 '_'super squad" selection, and .went unbeaten during the regular IM campaign, only to lose in the playoffs. The 1974 off-season brought coaches Malashefski and Snyder a number of highly-touted acquisitions from the Wyoming Valley area, and as opening day drew closer, the finishing touches were put on USUC II; a club which would win its first intramural championship three months later. ~ "We picked up a lot of good players last year," explained Malashefski. Included in that group were Jerry "Bear" Bavitz, and his brother Neil (the Cub, of course), Dor, McDermott, Mike Supczynski, Tony Schwab, and Joe Wilkes. The Bavitz' and Wilkes were also from Nanticoke, McDermott and Supczynski (all league in '74) hailed from Wyoming Area, and Schwab was a former Meyers High standout. "Picking up Bear was a big lift," Malashefski said. At 6-3 and about 220, ge was unmovable underneath." Bavitz also gave the club some extra "brain" power - not that_ they needed it with Malashefski and Snyder running things. · Ironically, USUC II lost to Basketball Busters (led by Billy Winter and Craig Ausfin) during the regular season, but still qualified for the playoffs, and easily won the title. Sports Chatter By Paul Domowitch Malashefski prides himself on the strategy move he made in their championship victory over Butler last season. "The game was tied at half, so we switched from a zone defense to IJ¥U)-to-man in the second half, and outscored them something like 50 to 13." THE ONLY PLAYER the team lost via gtaduation last year was Bavitz, and when USUC III played their first game earlier this season, they had yet two more new faces in uniform. Junior Joe Dougherty, and sophomore Mike Kmietowicz, both former Nanticoke stars who played junior varsity ball for Wilkes the year 'before, shed their Blue and Gold colors for a USUC III tee-shirt. 'A' Division Semi's -On Tap Tonight; Faculty Ousted From Title Scene BY DAVE ORISCHAK Regular season play ended last Friday, with only two unbeaten teams remaining in the "A" Division intramural basketball circuit.. Grueling competition allowed only Gino's and USUC Ill to remain on the undefeated list. Several strong teams have emerged in Division A this year. The - Faculty team has been gaining momentum all season on the wheels of Bernie Vinovrski and Billy Winter, who have teamed up to form a high scoring, fast break offense. Denison is also well primed for the playoffs with several fine shooters such as John Pinelli, Ma_rk Suchter, and Jay Lemonce)li on the squad. Th~se two tt!apis met in the first ' round of the playoffs Tuesday night In the second playoff game of the squad that took the early lead. However it didn't take the Faculty long to warm up, and they commanded an eight point lead at the mid-way p0int of the first half. It was an inspired Suchter who did most of the scoring work for Denison in the second half. The score see-sawed back forth. Suchter sunk-basket after basket underneath, as he proceeded to hand tie Berlatsky and Skvarla defensively, and Denison gained a six point lead with only four minutes left in the game. The faculty came within three points, before time ran out, with Denison taking a 55-52 win into the semi-finals. Sons of Softee team for the entire game, beating them easily. Again it was the Dudick brothers and Gene Marinelli who did most of the scoring for Gino's. Marinelli was the high man with 21, followed by the Dudicks who totaled 34 between them. Dougherty, a 5-11 guard, was a "super squad" selection as a senior at Nanticoke; and was second in the league's balloting for Most Valuable Player that year. Kmietowicz, a 6-4 center, was a i•super squad" selection in both his junior and senior years. · Kmietowicz has been a very valuable addition to the club; especially since Bavitz graduated. "Mike is averaging mor e than 20 points a game for us," commented Malashefski. After his freshman year with the Wilkes JV's, Bearde told him he was too small to play center, and not quick enough to be a varsity forward. So he jacked it up. · Especially satisfying for Kmietowicz was his outstanding performance in USUC's win over Whiz Mob a few weeks ago. Remembers Malashefski: " he outplayed' their big man, Jeff Baird, (the 6-7 transfer from Davidson) and had something like 27 points." FOR FOUR OF the club's players - Malashefski, Snyder, Casey, and Schwab, their affiliation with the USUC cage dynasty is dwindling to a close. The A Division championship w{ll be settled tomorrow night at the Wilkes gym, and should USUC III win it, they will become one of the very few IM clubs in the college's history to win two consecutive titles. But the team will not die, when founders Malashefski and Snyder retire; you can bet on'that. People like Cub Bavitz and Supczynski are waiting in the wings-to take over the leadership role, and who knows what great local high school products will soon be playing for USUC IV, V, and even VI. Rodger Bearde may prefer to do his recruiting in New York City, but for USUC and company, there is no place like home.

Preliminary competition is scheduled to get underway Thursday morning at 10 (Pacific Coast Time), with Weisenfluh_facing •Bill Kulberg of Washington St. in the "pig tail" round. Weisenfluh is the first wrestler in Wilkes College history to be seeded among the top eight at this event, and the Rochester; N.Y., resident has high hopes of surpassing former Blue and Gold great John Carr's 1966 third place finish, before the affair concludes Saturday night. Larry Zilverberg, of Minnesota University drew the number one seed at 167 as expected, with Penn State's Jerry Villecco, and Kentucky's Joe Carr ranked second and third respectively.

Before taking a peek at the ne.w MAC structuring, let's take a look at the old. In 1975, the league split the "Northern Division" into two sections: one called the Northeast, and the other called the Northwest. (They did the same . with the Southern Division.) Wilkes, along with Elizabethtown, Juniata, Susquehanna, and Albright, comprised the Northwest section, and played each other in a round-robin schedule, to determine the regular season champion, and the section's representative in the MAC playoffs. This year, a slighly more reasonable agreement has been worked out. The -league will still be separated into sections, but they will play a round-robin set of double headers instead of single games, with both ends of the twin bills counting in the standings. Thus, an eight-game MAC schedule, will be used, instead of last year's ridiculously out-moded four. MAT MATTER - Last year's team champion Iowa, and archrival Iowa State, are expected to battle it out for the team title, but Lehigh University, the EIWA champions, who have ·seven members of their team competing here, are expected to present a strong challenge. The Engineers finished fifth last year. I This is a big break for a talen-laden club like Wilkes, who won't see their tournament aspirations·squelched by one loss early in the sea59n. The Colonels will open MAC play April 6, at Elizabethtown, and follow that up with 3usquehanna on April 10 (home), Albright on April 22 (away), and conclude league play at home with Juniata on May 1. , The MAC Northern Division's two sectional champs will then tangle for the overall title on May 15, with the winner almost certain of an NCAA Division III tournament bid. Like the Middle Atlantic Conference, the NCAA has taken on a new look as well, with separate tournaments scheduled for Division II and Division III schools. Up until this season, there was only one small-college tourney for all schools ·not classified under the University Division of the NCAA. The Colonels have been practicing in the gym for the past five weeks, preparing for their important Southern exhibition swing into the Southland during Spring break. While in Dixie, they will play Maryland on March 22, William & Mary on· the 23rd, Rand_olph-Macon on the 25th, and wind up with a doubleheader against Richmond University on the 26th. competitors in the 126-pound weight class. He will face Rick Gonzales of San Francisco St. in Thursday afternoon's preliminary round. Gonzales was the runnerup at the NCAA Division II tournament last weekend. Coach John Reese, who accompanied his two wrestlers west, along with assistant Brooke Yeager, was happy to see Weisenfluh seeded, but expected him to be ranked higher. ~ . "Frankly," he said a little disgruntled, " we had hoped to see him seeded as high as fourth. But the seeding committee felt otherwise, and there is nothing for Jimmy to do · now, but prove them wrong." Top seeded Zilverberg was an NCAA runnerup in 1974, and placed third in the national confab a year ago. He underwent knee surgery in early January, and was not expected back. But the Gopher matman has made, -what most p~ysicians have termed a miraculous recovery, and easily won his straight Big Ten title last week.

A disagreement arose over the use · of a four-letter word in "Hot l Baltimore." Fields was asked to rewrite portions of the play that contained the word. Fields, who won his case over the disputed .word, believes that just as an artist's work should not be tampered with, neither should that of a playwright. The same word was used in " Cat On A Hot Tin Roof," without incidence. Leave of Absence Reques.ted Acting President Robert Capin, who is also dean of Academic Affairs, explained "Jay Fields had asked for a leave of absence to finish continued on page 2 �Marbb u; 197& ' TheBeacon Page2 Fields Comments his doctorate. The theater enrollment is not good. We could not promise him a job (when he finished his education) because of what's been happening with the enrollment." Mr. Alfred Groh, chairman of the Theater Department, stated, "The administration as per instructions of faculty, examined the status of faculty members who don't have tenure. In light of enrollment, decisions were made affecting all departments that were not tenured." Groh, Fields and Klaus Holm make up the Theater Department. Of the three, Fields is the only one who is not tenured. When asked if members of one department could teach in another department, Groh replied that he couldn't see why not as long as they're qualified. He pointed out that Fields taught a speech course for the English Department (which is hiring two new instructors next year) last semester. ... Fields also carried an overload of credit hours last semester as well as this semester. Groh explained, "PartofJay'soverloadresultsfrom the fact that we've added extra courses, but · the enrollment is small." from page I Fields took the theater seriously, an . · approach that the students appredated, other directors treated the theater as a hobby.

Knowing that Tennessee Williams' "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" would be his finale in the Wilkes theater, Fields crafted the production into the capstone of his three year career as a director and an instructor in the Theater Department . From outset, Fields' productions generated a certain ray of professionalism which prompted a local newspaper columnist to tab him as "genius ." Fields believes that his defense of the offensive words in the script of " Hot I Baltimore" had 'something to do with his termination. Students involved with the theater think that his termination was, in part, an attempt to remove a man who was "too good." College officials cite the decline in enrollment in the theater courses and his non-tenured status as reason for his termination . .. We say that Jay Fields is an innovator and the college is not only hurting the students by dropping an instructor of such high caliber, but the college as a whole which is always striving to ... ....... ..._ __ move forward with a diversity of ideas. .. .. --...:..· Is it really the tenure policy that effects our best teachers here or is it the certain type of conformity which says you must stay within a certain baseline?

In Pennsylvania the average recipient receives $700 which represents about 60 percent of the cost to attend a 2 year community college, about 33 percent of the cost at a state-owned college, but only about 15 percent of the cost to attend a four-year, ipdependent college. The gap to be financed or the Hout of pocket" costs faced by a student, range on the average from $490 at a public two-year, to !)early $3,800 at an independent four year college. This gap to be financed by the· student and his parents obviously encourag_es enrollment in the public sector (increasing the demand for Pennsylvania taxpayer support of the sub'sidy required for each student • from the state) and illustrat~s the potential. of the BEOG program to ,, become an instrument which will severly limit student choice while ·. meeting the objective of success. Increasingly cost' is restricting choice to the low cost /public sector institutions, even for stude~ who ,would prefer the academic enviornment and programs of an independent college · or university. The federal government has -a program, the Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (SEOG) which attempts to provide ·j-1 institutions with supplemental funds based on need formulas, which can be ' used by independent collges to help' bridge that tuition gap. Unfortunately, · although the concept of BEOG for "access" and SEOG for "choice" is very good, we have not seen appropriations balanced between these two federal programs at a level that can accomplish both objectives. Pennsylvania is among the most progressive states in recognizing the economic benefit to .the state rendered by its independent sector instiutions. The legislature recognized that increasing enrollment shifts to public institutions becomes economically counter-productive. It places greater pressures on the legislature for increased appropriations· at a time when taxpayers are increasingly reluctant to accept higher taxes to pay for them. They have funded the state scholarship program administered by the Pennsylvania Higher Education assistance agency (PHEAA) which , helps needy students in both public and independent institutions by tuition grants. Of all students enrolled.in 1975-76, twenty-seven percent of PHEAA grant recipients were in- the private sector institutions, the balance in public. Obviously, although of great significance, after all state and federal program assistance is considered, the tuition gap remains high and a deterrant to choice. . Iri 1974 the legislature enacted the Institutional Assistance Grants program to attempt to modify the continuing inflation pressures on private institutions which are contributing to constantly increasing tuitions and driving more and more students into the public sector. This program recognized that every student in a private institqtion costs the institution mone:v;- since tuition rarely pays the full cost of education. _ The legislature leadership from N.E. Pennsylvania, President Protempore of the senate, Martin L. Murray, l<epresentative Fred Shupnik of the House Appropriation and Education Committees, supported by Senator Wood, Senator Mellow and regional Representatives O'Brien, Musto, O'Connell, Ustynoski and Hasay and many other thoughtful legislators of both parties brougQt the legislation and an appropriation of twelve million dollars to final approval. This provided a cost of education I allowance to the institutions to aid in meeting those· additional costs incurred while educating a state scholarship recipient. This program is • · '\ administered by PHEAA and has had a substantial impact on out independent institutions. For almost 70 percent of the over 80 independent colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, it served in avoiding deficit budgets and kept tuition increases lower than they would have had to be meet escalating operating costs. In summary, Pennsylvania has achieved development of a strong public sector of higher education, provided ·a balanced program of student aid , through PHEAA to supplement the federal aid programs, and has recognized the necessity for maintaining its private sector, both for providing diversity and choice to students and because of the economic benefit to the tax payer. No balance is ever perfect and constant effort is required to achieve and maintain programs to provide the young men and women of the Commonwealth with both "success" and "choce."

The title game will get underway at 8 p.m. in the Wilkes gymnasium. Mignight still hasn't come for the " cinderella" Troopers, a team very few people gave a fighting chance prior to the start of the playoffs. They entered the tourney with a so-so 3-2 record, and were seeded last among the eight teams competing. But they upset pre-tourney favorite Miner Hall m the quarterfinals, and put the lQi;k on a championship invite by knocking off . Diaz last night 54-42. · Once again, it was the shooting of Ray Ostroski that provided the fuel for the win, as the junior guard poured in 25 points. Ostroski and teammate John Knesiss, who had 22 points, broke the back of . the Diaz defense, and turned a close game into a route during the final four minutes. The Outlaws were a slight underdog in their semi-final matchup with Ironmen, but they took the lead early, and were never headed in a 53-36 romp. Holding on to a ;n-24 leadwith 8:45 remaining, th€ Outlaws caught fire behind sparkplug Tom McIntyre, and reeled off 16 points in a three · minute span to put the contest on ice. McIntyre finished with 18 points. High scorer for Ironmen, who went down to their first defeat of the season, was freshman Bill Slavoski ·.vith 14 points. ■--------■ Liberty .

Four or five years ago, the only people wearing Blue and Gold basketball uniforms were . local kids who finally came to realization that they weren't as good as their press releases, or out of town jocks who made a wrong turn on their way'to Northwest Southeastern Florida State College of Rabbit Breeding. But Rodger Bearde, a basketball coach with a carload of charisma, and even twice as much determination, got it into his head that he could changeall that, and the rest is history. The cream of the local crop is finding out there is no place like home, if they are willing to wait, and plenty/of out of town cagers are going directly to Wilkes--Barre without passing go.

" I'll get a list of prospective players from them in early January. Most of the kids they tell me about are usually in the New York City playoffs in March, so Jim (assistant coach Jim Zardecki) and I drive down there, and get a chance to see them all play during a two day period." While the players and citys change, the approach remains the same, and the two Blue and Gold coaches spend every weekend in March driving to gyms all across the East. Their recruiting buqget amounts to very little (surprise!), which is why the New York area is so promising an item. The city event brings together sixteen teams under the same roof, and travel time is almost non-existant. Bearde doesn't fool himself however. Wilkes cannot battle the big schools for some of the best talent, so he waits. "If a kid is really good, he's going to have feelers from other s~hools," explained Bearde. " So we wait, and if the feelers are legitimate, we'll just drop him because we can't compete with schools that can offer a ballplayer a full ride." JUST RECENTLY in fact, the Colonel mentor had to give up on a high scoring guard from the Wyoming Valley area, because King's was interested in him also. But all .is not frustration for Bearde. " When I go down to the city playoffs," he said, " many of the coaches recognize me now, and are eager to,tell me a?<>\lt players on their team, that might be interested in coming down to Wilkes. •:•:•:-: 1 "I have been talking to Brenden Malone, the coach at Power Memorial , ::::=::: (Jabbar's alma mater) for the past five years, and last year was the first :::::::: time he approached me, and told nie he might have a player or two for me. fil!)M,;:m;;; ,;,im ti~i•Bm00,,m,r·t:rn·::::~::;:;:;::! BY PAUL DOMOWITCH The walls of the USUC dynasty came tumbling down Sunday night, and their hopes for a second straight " A" Division Intramural cage title right along with them, as Gino's outgunned the defending champs 55-53 at the Wilkes gym, to take its place as the new "king of the hill." Mastermind of the onslaught was sophomore Chet Dudick, who rifled in nine of his team's final fourteen points to supply the sustaining force of the victory. Dudick finished with fifteen points to lead all scores. IT WAS A battle of unbeatens going into the championship climax, with both Gino's and USUC sporting unblemished 7-0 records. The former had very little trouble eliminating Whiz Mob in the semi-finals, while the same was true of USUC, who allowed Denison to shoot themselves out of a championship berth. USUC broke out to an early lead on the fine inside play of their center Mike Kmietowicz, but Gino's, behind the team's namesake Gene Marianelli, managed to stay close. However, USUC, substituting freely in the first half, managed to break out to a 27-19 advantage at the 2:35 mark, on a 20-foot jumper by guard Mike Supczynski. ~=:·:::·s:::1::::=~i:::..u:a:.·••k of· led by four at the half. The defending champions retained their slim lead, until a baseline bucket by Marianelli with li:05 remaining, tied it at 35. Chet Dudick, who had only four pJ>ints until that time, then hit from the outside to give Gino's its first lead of the game. USUC FOUGHT BACK as Kmietowicz hit -a pair of shots, but Rich Mutarelli, who had made only two of his first 10 shots from the field, tied it again at 41, on a long range jumper. Then, the craftsman Dudick went to work. The former GAR great hit ·three straigbt from outside, to open up a four point cushion, with 4:25 remaining. USUC refused to quit however, and overtook Gino's 51-50, on a pair offree throws by guard Greg Snyder at the 1 :30 mark.,A pair of turnovers by both teams followed, before Mutarelli put Gino's up for good on a 25-footer with 30 ticks left. lot -~1:!:r::r1i::11:.::, -::,: �March 18, 1976 Pages ••• ACON SPORTS DIXIE HERE WE COME Golfers Leaving Saturday On ~chocolate Excursion' Ex-WilkesGreatWill House Stickmenln Sunshine -State BY PAUL DOMOWITCH BY JEFF ACORNLEY All of you spring break vacationers won't be going to Florida alone this year. The Wilkes lacrosse team will also be departing for the sun and fun of balmy Florida. Although your reasons for heading South shall remain unmentioned, the Colonels will be traveling to Dixie to compete in the Suncoast lacrosse tournament in Tampa. The tourney is sponsored by the Tampa Bay Lacrosse Club and the University of South Florida, in an effort to create some pre-season competition for schools in the North, where the cold weather is often a factor in early season training. The event is in it's third year of existance, but this is the first time Wilkes has en'tered. There are seven teams registered for this year's competition including Wilkes, Kenyon St. , Lawrence University, Williams Eollege, RPI, Dartmouth, and the Canadian National team. The games will be strictly exhibition, but there will be a trophy for the champions. The Colonels will be driving down in the school station wagons and a rented van, and will be staying and eating at the University of Tampa, thanks to some special arrangements made by former Wilkes athletic standout Joe Wiendl. The funding for the trip was entirely self controlled by the members of the team. Coach Chuck Mattei said, "I am very proud of the men on this team. They worked very hard to make this trip possible." The sale of campus directories and hoagies and the contributions of some lacrosse alumni were the main sources of income. The Colonels will be departing tomorrow and returning on Saturday, the 27th. Then on April 3, complete with tans and some competition under their belts, they will be ready to begin the defense of the MAC title. f .. ----·.-·.-·.- -·:·.·;·--···.. :::::: ::.::::::.::::.::.:.: :.:.:: :.:.: :................. ¥: I Consolation For Jack; I i 'M AC First Team Pick ir Jack Brabant, -whose biggest dream while in a Wilkes College basketball uniform was to play on a conference champion, received some solace Tuesday, when he was named to the all-MAC first team.

College Park Firs't ·Stop For Diamond Club BYEARLMONK This weekend, for many Wilkes students, will be the beginning of a welcome vacation. But for the Colonel baseball team, it marks the start of a rigorous spring training down Dixie way. Coach Gene Dornzalski and .a squad of 21 players will put on their traveling shoes Monday morning, and head South for a good, hard week of worth. Unlike Division I, II, and even many Division III schools such as Scranton and Juniata, the Colonels cannot afford to go as far as Florida or Latin America to train. They are just a typical small-college team trying to compete on as high and efficient a level as possible. , Their swing into Maryland and Virginia may not seem impressive to larger schools, , but it will be a tough challenge for the Wilkesmen, and Dornzalski hopes that it will get his club ready for their April 3 opener with Allentown. · The Colonel§_ "swing into spring" with a schedule of five games in five days against some topnotch clubs. They will open Monday afternoon with Atlantic Coast Conference power Maryland. As a Divivison -I school, Maryland is able to offer lucrative scholarships; a luxury Wilkes can't afford. Tuesday, the Colonels play William & Mary, another school with a well-developed diamond program. On Wedfiesday, the Colonels have an off day. However, with no games scheduled, the Colonels will hold double workouts-one in the morning, and another in the afternoon. Domzalski feels this will be an excellent opportunity in good weather for some much-needed batting · practice. The Colonels then play Randolph-Maco!! on Thursday, and finish the Dixieland tour with a doufileheader Friday afternoon. Both these schools are extremely talented, and will give the Blue and Gold stern opposition. Last spring, Wilkes beat Richmond in the first game of their twin bill, but lost the second in extra innings, to finish the Southern swing with a 2-3 log. In short, the week will allow· the Colonels a chance to play four schools of high calibre; competition Domzalski , hopes will prepare his c)larges for opening •day, and a shot at the elusive Middle Atlantic Conference title in 1976. It will also give the Colonels an opportunity to sharpen their skills, apd rounded into shape in a warm climate. As Domzalski put it, "our going down there is similar to major league spring training. It gives us a chance to work on fundamentals and allows us to evaluate personnel and determine a starting lineup." · The Hershey Chocolate Company's stock has been zooming skyward the past few weeks, thanks to the salesmanship of the Colonel golf team. And with candy commissions in hand, the Wilkesmen depart Saturday for Nort~ Carolina, where they will get in a week of valuable practice. Eight golfers will make the trip down to the Carolina Trace condiminiwn complex, which is located just outside of Charleston. Escorting the team in the absence of head coach Rollie Schmidt will be Ed Baltruchitis and Bernie Vinovrski. · A southern golf swing has been on the drawing board for the past five years, with the poor Northeastern Pa. weather allowing the golfers little, if any pre-season practice. "The past few years, the situation has been such," said Schmidt, 'that we don't even get on a course until our first match." The frustration of two mediocre seasons has altered Schmidt's opinion on the value of a Southern trip. In 1974 he said the Carolina courses were conipletely different from the ones they play on during the regular season, so it really wouldn't help in getting the team prepped. But a week of practice on any type of course is much better than idleness. They will leave for Dixie late Saturday ,night, and arrive at Carolina Trace Sunday afternoo~. After a relatively easy day on Sunday, the squad will get down to work on Monday, and play two rounds of golf each day. They will head back home Friday night, stopping Saturday to play a round on a northern course. "There is a good chanct; that we may play a round on the Hidden Springs course in Willow Grove (Pa.)," explained co-captain Larry Gurnari. Hidden Springs has been the home of the Middle Atlantic Conference golf tournament the last two seasons, and it will be held there once again this year, on April 26th and 27th. The players who will make the trip include Gurnari, fellow co-captain Mark Jarolen, Carl Holsberger, John Ralston, Kenny Dunlavage, Steve Nielson, Joe Skldaney and Ryan Hoyniak.

Capin made history Tuesday night when he appeared before the student - government 6ody to explain the college's budget. Mr. Capin, who requested tl~e time to speak to the student representatives, said that his appearance was a first at Wilkes College, since at no other time were students informed about budget procedure. Mr. Capin's primary reason for discussing the budget was the fact that tuition, room and board will ' increase next year, and he felt that as " a member of the Wilkes College Family," Student Government should know what it takes to run the college. The 1976-77 budget, the product of several months of planning, was designed to proviJe adequate revenue to cover all operating costs including a salary increase, a modest surplus, · and a minimum tuition increase. Mr. Capin voluntarily met with all department chairmen and administrative heads to determine the total dollar package needed to operate the col!ege. A list of expenses and known revenue was compiled to calculate the amount of money needed from tuition, room and board payments. Expenses increased 4.9 percent, according to Mr. Capin, due to rising utility rates, (a 14.5 percent increase) expanded maintenance service needed for the SLC, (a 12.5 percent increase) additional security services, (30 percent increase) and increases in areas such as administration, janitorial service and elevator maintenance. The salary increment is still below the cost of living increase. Also on the SG agenda Tuesday evening was a report on the damages to the gym floor in the form of a reply from the Bellefonte Insurance Company. The company ruled that Fang Productions is not responsible for the damages . and continued on page 6 Umphred Lists ·Totals At Final Luncheon Will1am Umphred, chairman of toward the "other sources" goal of the college's Development Com- $135,000, which meant that this · mittee, pronounced the 1976 com- phase of the campaign was surmunity campaign as a success, as passed by $38,000. pledges exceeded the $110,000 goal Arthur J.

Wilkes is following the national trend in the respect that board scores, particularly in the verbal area, have decreased. According to Joseph Kanner, director of testing, scores have not dropped badly, but have dropped enough '.' to cause concern." He said that two or three major research projects are attempting to discover the source of the problem since As we have been bombarded with countless reports and theoretically, scores should be reve lat i!)nSo n the saga o f Watergale, almost to the point where increasing.

He also believes, that in a "T.V. generation" such as this, where children are possibly learning from visual communication, tests are still concerned with what is learned from the written word. He stated that perhaps new tests must be devised to accurately determiI}e how much and by what means a student learns. SAT scores are not given a large amount of importance when a student applies for admission, however. Mr. Whitby stated that Wilkes has "never weighted the board scores to the extent that some other colleges have" because the admissions office has more confidence in what a high school has to say about a student. He pointed out that 60 percent of the students at Wilkes are from the local area and experience has shown that the high schools are reputable institutions. Dorm students generally graduated from schools in the Middle Atlantic District, which also has _a good reputation. Mr. Whitby explained that board scores are used more for counse.Iing purposes than for admission .requirements.

The student activities fee was $30 per year and the graduation fee amounted to $20 per annum. Today, tuition costs have risen to $2,500 a year. It now costs $40 for your graduation fee, and, astonishingly enough, it only costs the student $25 for the activity fee. Do we have a $5 saving?

However, he said when an entire concept is misunderstood, it's better to go to the teacher. " Da," who has been tutoring since his sophomore year, finds the most problems occur when a student thinks the tutor can do everything. "They give me a 'dismal look' when I tell them I don't know a particular problem, such as probability, which has been added to Calculus 105-106." " Most students find calculus hard in college hecause they lack a sufficient high school background. This holds true especially with students from the Valley." However, Dave finds tutoring rewarding and a great asset for his own future in math education. · The tutoring experience has led one tutor away from the teaching field.

Today I have written down my suggestions on how we should observe this esteemed holiday. Like usual, my suggestions will probably not be followed, but I feel important when I write them down. First I think the moon should appear in the morning and the sun should rise at night just to set the atmosphere for the occasion. I'm having a little trouble getting in touch with the guy who's in charge of all this. Some guy, Peter, keeps answering the phone and putting me off. He says there's no way I can get in touch with the Creator right new but told me that when my time comes I'll know. And he adds "Don't call us - We'll call you!" I guess we'll have to do without the special effects and make do with what we have to celebrate. I have a couple suggestions for students and faculty. So chip in and let's make this the best April Fool's Day ever. 1. I think that just for today Dr·.

Many Different Countries .Celebrate April Fool's Day By Mary Stencavage April brings a lot of things: showers, the first real taste of Spring, sometimes Easter, and April Fool's Day. Ever wonder how the custom of playing practical jokes and tricks got its start? Alt)lough many explanations for the tradition have been offered, there is little or no agreement on any of them. The impression prevails that it has something to do with the observance of the Spring Equinox. . Around the world, in various nations, April Fool's Day is celebrated in different ways. In India, for example, the Feast of Huli which occurs on March 31, has been celebrated for countless centuries by sending people on foolish errands. In France, April fooling .became a custom after the adoption of the reformed calendar of Charles IX. The person who is fooled in France is a "poisson d'avril" which is an April fish. In the.beginning of the eighteenth century, April fooling became common in England. In Scotland, the April fools are called "gowks"-the " gowk" being a cuckoo. In the United States, the early settlers brought the custom with them. So today, if s'omeone you know comes up to you and tells you you're wearing two different colored socks, or that the term paper you've been putting off for as long as you can, is due today-before yo1,1 have a cardiac arrest-think twice, because it:S just their way of telling you that today is-April Fool's Day! r-------------, NOTICE Attention has been called to the calendar change for the Easter Weekend QY Robert S.

The d~ fending MAC champions will have their work cut out for them during the course of this campaign. Repeating as champs will be a very difficult task indeed. They have lost much of the highly-valued experience that made last years' squad champions. On the bright side, they have seven returning lettermen, but on the realistic side they have also lost seven to graduation. It is very difficult to win consistently with a lineup bulging with inexperienced freshmen. · Despite all the promise and future hope that a good crop of freshmen always brings, there is still needed a tri-captain Craig Austin is lost for the year steadying influence if there is to be im- because of torn ligaments in his knee.

The Wilkes team has a lot of character and is certainly capable of overcoming difficulties as they have in the past. It promises to be a very exciting season.

Onct:l again, it was the extraordinary outside shooting of guard Tom McIntyre that led the way for the Outlaws. McIntyre finished the game with 26 points, and was named the MVP of the tournament. High scorer for the Troopers, who deserve a great deal of credit for their play in the tournament after being seeded eighth, was Ray Ostroski.

Another junior, Terry Schoen, will back up Trethaway at second. AN AWESOME OUTFIELD corps is headed up by possible pro prospects Steve Leskiw and Mike Supczenski. " Wink" was the Colonel's first diamond all-American in history last season, leading the nation in slugging percentage (.869), third in RBl's (1.33 per game), and third in triples (0.33 a game(. Soph centerfielder Supczenski is what Domzalski calls "they key to our whole attack." One of the finest defensive outfielders in the league with a strong, arm and superlative speed, "Super" also swings a potent stick. Last year, he led the club in runs scored (21), hits (27), hit two home runs'in one game, and batted .360. Senior Tony Schwab, who became a legend in local high school ball, when he was named the (cont'd from p. 8) Wyoming Valley Conference's MVP as a 14-year old freshman, will start in left. On the recent trip to the Southland "T" led the Colonels in hitting (.454). These three starters will be backed up by sophomores Bill Hockenbury and Bill Polaha, and freshman Steve Grasley. All three can fill in ably at any time. The designated hitter role is expected to be filled by freshn1an Lou Elefante, a left handed hitter with plenty of power. _ Last, but certainly not least is veteran catcher Jack Keller, who has been a starter since he broke in as a freshman four years ago. Jack is an excellent defensive catcher, and has been ripping the ball to all fields thus far in pre-season workouts, giving Domzalski even more reason for optimism. Backing up the Frenchman will be sophomore Ken Suchoski, who didn't con1e out for the team last year, but tore up American Legion ball with his fine bat. P~ete_nd for just a minute that your a salesman, and the product you are · sellmg 1s none .other than good ole' Wilkes College. Tough job, right? And even tougher if you are Rodger Bearde, and vying with a dozen other salesm~n (_oop~, e~cuse me-coaches) for a cage prospect. The first mclmation would be to lie ( "Listen kid. You come to Wilkes and we'll gi~e yo~ a new corvette as soon as you set foot on campus. Atte~ding classes 1s optional, but you do have to show up for graduation in four years. You'll have.your own room with wall to wall carpeting, color TV, and a pool .able. And if you get bored with all that, we have chick.s waiting in line outside the jock.s' dorm."). Some coaches do use a pitch very similar to !hat, an? · it ma~es Bearde's job that much tougher, because a lot of unpress10nable high school athletes with big heads believe tl.a~ _garbage: "BE~RD~ LIKES TO do everything with a personal touch. He explains, the first tune that I meet an athlete at a game, I'll give him my name card, and just say hello, who I am, and where I'm from. Then I'll follow that up with personal letters." Bearde emphasizes the word personal. "The personal touch gives the athlete the feeling that Wilkes is a very personal school-w.hich it is. It's the people and the close atmosphere here, that we try to sell to a prospect.,, If ~earde really wants an athlete, he'll find something out about the boy's ,famlly, and see what he is interested in studying when he comes to college. " If for example, he were interested in psychology," Bearde said, "then I would send him all the information I could find on that particular field of study at Wilkes." In other words, straight talk-not jive. Bearde also finds out if the prospect can graduate in four years. If he can't then he shys away. He's interested in the student-athlete, not the athlete-student. "Most of the kids I'm after do have pretty good grades" he adds, " because we recruit basically from the Catholic Leagues inste~d of the Public. Tlle academic standards are a little higher there." Keeping right in line with the personal aspect, Bearde will send a prospect a little note in the mail after an exceptional performance in a tournament game, in the hope of persuading him to send in that all-important entrance application. Be'.3rde's chariShla lik~bleness, and outright honesty are the key reasons for his success as a re~rwter; those and the fact that he has built a winning basketball program m the half decade he has been at Wilkes. . THERE AR~ OBSTACLES standing in Bearde's way, however. The first 1s the academic standards at Wilkes. It's tough to get in, and even tougher to stay. A coach can suggest a relatively easy program setup .for a freshman athlete, but he can't go to class for him. · · The out-moded academic requirements at Wilkes also turn off a lot of recruits. The prospect of having to take four semesters of a foreign language (a ridiculous rule in the first place) nas turned quite a tew JOC1s away from the college gates. The lack of much athletic scholarship money is another problem. Bearde can't offer an athlete much in the way of money, unless he is poor. And come 1979, all full athletic scholarships outside of Division I will be stripped away. ~d what does Bearde say to a black athlete? Wilkes is a predominantly :,vhlte colle~e,.and for an out ~f town blac~ student, it can get mighty lonely m the begmnmg. In fact, Wllkes has given new meaning to the initials BYOB (bring your own broad). Needless to say, the odds are stacked against Bearde from the outset. But he's learned that if you don't overcome them, you're stuck with a loser.

A strong offensive and defensive infield adds to the Colonel optimism. Probable starter at first base will again be sophomore Neil Bavitz, who is coming off a tremendous year. As a rookie, he hit .349, and led the team in doubles with seven. At second base is the incomparable senior co-captain, Dave Trethaway, whose .479 batting average last year would have led the nation, if not _for an ankle injury late in the season, which left him one at bat short of qualifying for NCAA honors. Senior Greg Snyder ( .312) will fill out the keystone combination with Trethaway, with junior Don McDermott (.328) rounding out the starting infield at third. McDermott will also be utilized at first, (continued on page 7) EACON HARCH' Part QfThe ' Big Th ree' SPORTS One Last Title Chase For ]arolen And Gurnari Success is an elusive goal, and no one knows that better than golfers Larry Gurnari and Mark Jarolen. For three years now, they have tried to bring the Middle Atlantic Conference golf championship back to Wilkes, and for three years they have come up short. As they stand ')n the threshold of their fourth and final collegiate season however, they are optimistic that it's time for a change. Explains Gurnari: "insufficient pre-season practice, lack of depth, and disappointing tournament performances by Mark and myself have hurt us the last few seasons. "We've ta~en care of the first problem, the second appears to have taken care of itself, and the third is up to me and Mark." Indeed, the Colonels of coach Rollie Schmidt do appear to have their best chance for an MAC title since they captured two back to back crowns in 1971 and 1972. Both Jarolen and Gurnari rank among the top five in the league, and sophomore letterman Kenny Dunlavage gives Schmidt a solid number three man as well. But the key may lie beyond that; in the all-important fourth and fifth slots. Letterman Carl Holsberger, Len Malshefski, and Don Ole~zulin are back, along with another veteran, Rick Cronauer. But all eyes are on the freshmen. Seven · rookies are vying for a spot in the Colonel lineup, and if one or two can establish a name for themselves, an MAC crown may not be far away. Heading the "kiddie corps" are Jeff Fritt, Old Forge; Bryan Hoynak, Lakeville; Dave Kollar, Drifton; Steve Nielson, Mountaintop; John Ralston, Wilkes-Barre; Joe Skladany, Mountaintop; and Sandy Pensieri, Plains. Miss Pensieri is the first woman to ever compete on the Wilkes golf team, and in addition to being an excellent golfer, the pretty blond will no doubt be a big lift to team morale. Hoynak, Nielson, Ralston, and Skladany all made the trip to North Carolina, and rate an early edge over the fellow yearlings. Other Colonels who. could see action are Steve Bloomberg, Wilkes-Barre; and Stan Kuren and Joe Wilkes, Nanticoke. The team will open up the 1976 season tomorrow afternoon, participating in a tri-angular match with Haverford and host Lebanon Valley. "The first few matches have never been much of an indicator," explained Jarolen, " but it will be different this year. "We've gotten in a week of very valuable practice, and right now, I think we're ready for anyone." Highlights And 'Low' Lights Of Dixie Tour BY PAUL DOMOWITCH On the trip down, the~ talked of sweeping through the South just as surely as Ulysses S. Grant did, little more than a hundred years earlier. But when it was over last Friday, the Colonel diamondmen stood at 2-3. They had not matched Grant, nor any other Dixie conquestor. But that is inconsequential. The purpose of the trip was to gain experience, and that is just ·what they did. . It was the first opportunity this scribe had to make the trip with the team, and by the time the week liad come to an end, the notebook was flooding with jottings written down during the week-long stay in Maryland and Virginia. There were on-the-field highlights: Pitcher Manny Evanskeeping Randolph-Macon at bay with his knuckle ball, on his, way to four shutout imiings, and his first collegiate victory. - Tony Schwab's three-for-three, and three RBI performance against R-M. - Freshman Lou Elefante's bases loaded, 400-foot triple in that same win. -Danny Pisarcik comin~ off the bench in relief against Randolph-Macon, and salvaging the 8-7 win. -Beating Maryland University ti-4, m a scrimmage at College Park, less than two hours after a five hour drive from Wilkes-Barre. -Joe Delozier's four shutout innings in the twin bill loss to Richmond. -Mike Supczenski's two run triple in the win over Maryland. And then, there were the on-the-field "low" lights: -The 9--0 loss to William & Mary, that featured seven Colonel errors. Coach Gene Domzalski termed it "the worst performance by any team he's ever · coached," and swore it would never happen again. -Three Colonel baserunners being picked off against Randolph-Macon. -Managing only two hits in the 5-0 loss to Richmond in the opening half of a Friday twin bill. - Having rallies killed in both the fifth and sixth innings of the second Richmond game, when runners were thrown out at the plate. - Mike Supczenski, and Neil Bavitz missing the final three games of the t rip because of injuries. Super jammed his thumb, and Cub pu~led a leg muscle. And there were the off-the field highlights: -The cockroaches everyone kept finding under their bed at William & Mary. - The trip through Williamsburg that saw us go down the wrong way on two different one way streets, and through somebody's front yard ("hey y'all come in and have some chicken, here?"). -The strange takeout service at the pizza place in Wil!iamsburg ("pay me 'now, or ... pay me later." ). -The girls' dorm at Randolph-Macon ("hi there, I'm Hong Kong from Luzerne."). - The bush fans down at RandolphMacon. They had a name for every pitcher Wilkes used (knees, fat boy, and no-neck) . -The fifteen minute trip from Randolph-Macon to Richmond that took more than an ·hour (Coach : " I know it's around here someplace." ). - The sight of twenty guys from Wilkes-Barre singing " America the Beautiful" as they . marched across a bridge on the Richmond campus (what did you expect? The girl's school was two miles away ). -Those pictures of Ursula Andress. -The drunken fans at Richmond, that were heckling the Wilkes outfielders all afternoon ("Hey centerfielder, you and the rightfielder oughtta get together and run some sprints."). · -The whole team going to see "The Creature From the Black Lake" at a theater in downtown Richmond. -The party that last night in Richmond at the hotel. The gold van running out of gas twenty miles outside of Hazleton on the ride home. It was a trip to remember all right. The week together brought a close team even closer, and on the trip back, Domzalski said of his squad : "I'm really proud of this team. You couldn't ask for a better bunch of guys." In another month or so, they may prove just that to everyone else as well. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
