Craig, former Professor and Chairman of English at Wilkes College. Dr. Craig retired from Wilkes in 1955 and subsequently taught at Oberlin College and elsewhere. She remained active in teaching literature until her death last month at age eighty-five. We who were her students remember her insightful presentation of literary works and her ability to teach us to read responsively and critically. We remember, too, her demanding assignments and examinations, indicative of the high standards she maintained in her courses. Most of all, though, we remember a great lady, committed to literature and to excellence, who holds a distinguished place among those who would "gladly teach." -Dr. Benjamin Fiester Professor of English · By Donna M.

Cosmic Rainbow 167 West 21st Street New York, N.Y.10011 Many people and places on the Wilkes College campus are being commemorated for historical significance during the bicentennial year, including Catlin and Kirby Halls. Catlin Hall, located at 92 South River Street, is one of the two Wilkes buildings listed in the "National Register of Historic Places." The other is McClintock Hall. · The National Register is our nation's catalogue of historically and architecturally significan' structures and sites. Built between 1842-1844, Catlin Hall formerly had been part of the Reynolds' family estate for four generations. It was acquired by Wilkes in 1957 and renamed after the controversial painter, George Catlin, born in Wilkes-Barre in 1796. Catlin was admitted to the Luzerne County Bar Association in 1819, _and following four years of pr~ctice, ~e left the area_ for ~hiladelphia, whe~e he established his c~eer as a pamter. Catlm later became world famous for his paintings and books on American Indian tribes. • In 1830 Catlin left Philadelphia and set out on the hazardous journey West. His goal: to paint the portraits of every Indian tribe in North • America. His friends warned him that it was an impossible task and that he would never come back alive. The " savages" would butcher him before he could set up his easel. But after eight hard and dangerous years, George Catlin returned with a pictorial record of Indian life that never has been equaled. His paintings have been exhibited in London, the Louvre, Paris, the Smithsonian Institute and were the opening presentation of the Sordoni Art Gallery when it officially was dedicated in 1973. "In his deaf, lonely age, after 30 years abroad," wrote his biographer, " he still signed himself, George Catlin of Wilkes-Barre. " Catlin Hall like Kirby Hall is listed in the " Pennsylvania Register of _ < Historic Sites and Landmarks." Kirby Hall, located at 202 South River Street, was constructed in 1873 and designed by the noted American architect, Frederick Clark Withers. ·Donated to Wilkes in 1941, this building was a gift from Allan P. Kirby, who gave it to the College in honor of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Morgan Kirby. Fred Morgan Kirby, an American merchant and banker, was born in _ Brownsville, New York, in 1861. In 1884 he moved to Wilkes-Barre and opened his first five-and-ten-cent ... · store under the name of Woolworth and Kirby. · In 1887 he acquired C.S. Woolworth's share in the store and reorganized it to F .M. and W. Kirby. In 1912 Kirby was operating 96 stores east of the Mississippi River. The building was named the Kirby , Home for Education when acquired by Wilkes and at one time was utilized as the Wilkes College Library. Prior to 1947 only two rooms comprised the library and the remaining rooms were used as classrooms and lounges. Kirby Hall now houses the English and Language Departments. �April 8, 1976 Page3 The Beacon Diverse Opif!ions Expressed At News Forum · :❖: - :-:• : • ·- · .•.-:-:-:-:-·-::-·.:-:-:-:- : :-:.:•:.

Approved were requests from: Reach Out Club, for $50 to finance an Easter party _ior Retreat_ State .

In other business, SG President Zeke Zaborney announced that SG's proposal to add a student member to the college's board of trustees met with mixed reactions from the President's and Dean's Councils. According to Zaborney, the Council "was split about 50-50 on the proposal," as was the President's Council. The proposal will be submitted to the board's Student Activities Committee for its review.

You may call it apathy or anything you wish, but the fact still remains that up for grabs is the most important student leadership position-president of the Student Government. We hope Tuesday's election will be a reversal of what has happened in previous years-a small percentage of the student body selected the most important spot-the one best able to accomplish the goals of the students . Tuesday's election, between Gina O ' Brien and Al Berger, both juniors, should be interesting. Miss O'Brien will become only the second female president, according to reports, if elected. The other was Cathy DeAngelis, back in the early 60's. She is now a practicing physician. We really don 't think that either candidate possesses any distinct qualities that wil! enable them to build on the accomplishments of this year's president, Zeke Zaborney . Al Berger claims Student Government is to be operated like a business . Berger, when interviewed, had quite a bit to say. We do not agree with his vi~ws that S.G . should be operated as a business . We're impressed that he is a business major, but we really don't think this will make him a better president . Mr . Berger has had the reputation , as we have witnessed, of talking in quite great lengths and really not saying much . However, we do appreciate and respect his work on Student Government. Miss O ' Brien talks in generalities when discussing the goals she would implement if elected president . Without question Miss O ' Brien has always been a hard worker and prope~ organizer, and like Berger, is concerned with Student Government . We disagree with her proposal to keep next year's Student Government basically the same. Each year, the new governing body should redirect the goals and improve in deficient areas. We are perplexed in chasing a Student Government president. We are really not pleased with the two candidates this year, and we think the best candidate is Steve Esrick Esrick who is in the Hahnemann program, is not on the ball~t. ' But, if a gust of wind were blowing as we were standing on the middle of the scale with Berger at one end, and O' Brien at the other, we'd probably, lean more towards Gina O'Brien.

To The Editor: Although your puppet newspaper has provided us with numerous moments of hysteria in the past, it has never incited us to vomit until the April 1 issue (a more appropriate date could not have been chosen). The cause of sickness was the coverage of the announced increase. Page one caused a bit of nausea when we looked at the chart comparing "similar" colleges. You have the utter gall to compare Wilkes with such institutions as LAFAYETTE, LEHIGH, BUCKNELL and DICKINSON! We wonder why Harvard and Oxford were not included in the list. After reading Mr. Capin's quote on the second page, which involved the per cent of the budget supported by tuition and board, we felt the room spinning and anticipated the ol' dry heaves. We hope Mr .. Capin is not expecting money from alumni, because, as far as we are concerned, the $800 increase in tuition over the past four years will certainly cover our alumni contributions for millenium.

The backbone of Wilkes College is its secretaries, because without them, this institution would not function. Keeping this in mind, the professors at Franklin Hall never had it so good. Dorothy Schlingman and Mary Argenio serve three departments with top efficiency. · "They are fantastic ...they keep this. office running," emphatically stated Andrew Shaw, director of the Institute of Regional Affairs (IRA) . Jokingly he added, _"They keep me in line ...and also renund me of my schedule and sometimes my duties !" (According to Mrs. Argenio and Mrs. Schlingman, "We point him in the right direction in the morning! ") Both Mrs. Argenio and Mrs. Schlingman admire Shaw, who is one of the busiest men on campus. "He certainly is the loveliest man to work for ..." said Mrs. Argenio. Dr. James Rodechko of the history department also praises the work of the Franklin Hall Duo.

Colleges are tightening their belts to the point that they're unbuckable and everyone is suffering the consequences. "But things could be worse." (I don't remember if it was Shirley Temple or Adolf Hitler who said that.) Anyway two very unhandable things could happen: 1. the colleges could be making entirely too much money; or 2. they could be operating on funds lower than the salaries of some of their unemployed graduates. First I'll take you to a meeting of Mr. Capin and some of his cohorts-Mr. Shaw, Dean Ralston, Mr. Hoover, and Mr. Meyers to discuss what to do with all the EXTRA money Wilkes has. Mr. Capin: This is our 27th meeting about what to do with extra money. Let's try to think of something a little more creative this time. With our last extra million dollars we sent Dr. Turoczi on a head-hunting safari in Africa, bought Dr. Reif a Stark Hall of his own so he wouldn't have to worry about litter, and sent a campaign contribution to Richard Nixon. What else is left? Mr. Meyers: I don't know. We've financed the college degress of every senior citizen in this town. What about sponsoring an overseas orphan? Mr. Capin: But we own and operate the mainland of China. We need a · different idea. Dean Ralston: I think the best thing we did with our extra money was to back my new single record hit of me whistling "I Wish I Were in Dixie"- _ It's sold over two copies so far. Mr. Capin: I just think we'd better get rid of this money fast before the S.L.A. and the Internal Revenue Department (in that order) come to investigate us. . . Mr. Shaw: I'll take a raise in salary if that will help you any. But keep it down, O.K.? My Swiss bank account is overflowing. · Mr~Hoover: Well, we certainly can't put it into sports. We already have Micky Mantle coaching bas~ball and Muhammed Ali coaching debate. We have more trophies than can fit in our trophy building and Coach Reese insists that he will not take the wrestlers any farther than Australia this year. Mr. Capin: I guess we'll have to adjourn for the day. But think of something quick, gentlemen, because pretty soon Wilkes College is gonna be "Wilkes Buried" by too much money. Now, I'll take you to the meeting of the same gentlemen who are struggling to keep Wilkes from bankruptcy. Mr. Capin: (dressed in a seventeen year-old suit) Gentlemen, I have called this meeting to see if you've come up with any new ideas about earning more money for the preservation of Wilkes. Mr. Meyers: Preservation! What's left to preserve? Enrollment is down to twenty-three and we have one building left on campus-and that-'s owned by ROTC. Mr. Denion's been ~tanding in line for food stamps every day this week and Continuing Education has been permanently discontinued. I move we give in. Mr. Shaw: I second the motion. Nothing could be worse than seeing them rip down Stark to make a parking lot to earn money. Poor Mr. Raspen. He even sold his calculator because the only financial aid we have left to give is a free lunch at Freshmen Orientation. Mr. Hoover: I think the worst was when we rented out Weckesser Hall to t~e Forever Family. That was really low. - . Dean Ralston: We'll just have to start all over. We did it with the flood, we can do it again. Mr. Capin: That's the old Wilkes College spirit! Does anyone have any suggestions where to begin? Mr. Shaw: We could pawn Mr. Hoover. Mr. Capin: Something a littte more humane ... Mr. Meyers: Well, there are walk-a-thons, bike-a-thons, and swin-a-thons-Why not a Wilkes-a-thon? · Mr. Capin: I think we'd better cut this meeting short. Things are getting out of hand. You gentlemen come back tomorrow after you've had a good _ night's sleep. So you see things could be worse. Maybe in these rough times it seems that we're just getting by, but at least we're not at the point yet where we'll have to pawn Mr. Hoover. So as you part with your extra 100 dollars next tuition time, I know you'll feel bad but try to "dream on" to a time when things will be better. �Pages The Beacon April 8, 1976 Wilkes Study Shows Med SchoolGPA's Up Here A study of Wilkes College students accepted by American Medical schools in the past 18 years shows that G.P .A.shave steadily increased over the years. The mean G.P.A. of Wilkes students for that period is 3.23, but averages have ranged from 1.94 - 3.88 in 1961-65 to 2.73 - 3.98 in 1971-75. In addition, both extremes of the range in the last four years has increased until the 1975 figures stretched from 3.47 - 3.98. Students accepted by foreign medical schools generally have lower G.P.A.s, but the attrition rate is much higher ' than the three percent rate of American schools. As the national tests have proved to be important factors for admission, students are encouraged to prepare for the appropriate tests. Present national statistics reveal that one out of every three applicants eventually succeeds in gaining admittance to medical schools. In 1975 an estimated 43,000 applicants filed. for about 15,000 available positions. For 1976-77, the number of applicants is expected to rise by approximately 1,000. Dental schools have similar ratios but fewer positions. The above figures include people who apply in several successive years before gaining admittance. The success rate is decreasing for people in this category, and students with low G.P.A.s and poor test scores should anticipate difficult conditions and plan alternative action. The careful screening by professional schools results in part from the high cost of educating a medical G b J student, which averages from $16,000-$27,000 per year. To a large extent, the destiny of each student depends on that student taking the initiative to prepare for medical school. Maturity and charitableness as judged by involvement in college and community activities are attributes. The Committee on Health Sciences supports such students and aids them as much as possible. The health science area offers a number of different careers to students interested in health professions. Wilkes provides many opportunities to enter the field with its programs in medical technology, nursing, podiatry and family medicine. Students interested in other areas such as osteopathic medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry and pharmacy can also begin their studies at the college. Students are assigned a special academic advisor who assists them with individual programs. The Committee on Health Sciences and the academic dean also aid students with counseling and recommendations. The health sciences counselor is Dr. Wilbur Hayes. Students planning to apply to professional schools as the class of 1977 should take the appropriate national examinations this spring. Juniors should make application to professional schools this summer. Medical College Admission Tests (MCAT), Dental Admission Tests (DAT), and Pharmacy College Admission Tests (PCAT) are administered annually in the spring, and applications and registration materials are available in the offices of Dr. Hayes, Mr. Kanner and Dr. Rozelle. Application deadlines are usually three to four weeks prior to the test date. Candidates applying to postgraduate professional schools are judged on the basis of ·grade point average, national examination scores, letters of recommendation and personal interviews. As a greater number of qualified candidates are now applying for admission to professional schools, national test scores are becoming more important for successful admission. Letters of recommendation are prepared in the summer and juniors are asked to file a request for a committee letter of recommendation tiy April. Students waiting until the fall of their senior year can expect a considerable delay in processing their requests. The student is also responsible for forwarding transcripts to schools.

Actions of Inter-Dormitory Council to print and distribute an extra 100 tickets for the March 12 St. Patrick's Day Party drew the ire of several Commuter Council members last week. According to CC officers, IDC President Mike LoPresti ordered the extra tickets printed on March 11 and sold at Pickering Hall. Despite the fact that the party was sponsored jointly by CC and IDC, CC was not consulted in advance of LoPresti's plans and the extra tickets were purchased almost exclusively by dormitory residents, contend the CC officers. If that were not bad enough, said one CC member, IDC requested and received Student Government subsidies for the extra 100 tickets. "It isn't fair that the 100 extra tickets that were sold to dorm students were subsidized by Student Government and not by IDC," said CC representative Barbar a Hall.

With scarred body and · repels the ordinary soul, the catcher accepts the task demeaned by the rest of mankind, at the expense of life and limb." Somehow, that less than complimentary description just doesn't seem to fit the Colonel's Jack Keller. He is neither slow of foot nor slow of mind, and there are dozens of Wilkes coeds who will attest to the fact that his body doesn't repel the ordinary soul. However, even Keller will admit there is a degree of risk to life and limb involved in the job of catching. He remembers the scene vividly, as if it were yesterday. Wilkes was sitting on a comfortable lead, but Upsala was threatening, and had a runner on third with one out. Jack takes it from there. "The batter hit a slow ground ball to Greg (Snyder), and the guy on third charged for the plate. "We had a play on him, so Greg fired the ball in to me at home. Just as I caught the ball-whack!" The runner had barrelled into Keller, knocking the ball loose, and leaving the Colonel backstop lying on the ground with blood pouring profusely from his mouth. After it was all over, doctors discovered a hairline fracture in his jaw, and wired it; seemingly putting an end to his catching chores for the year. But two and a half weeks later, with a spe.cially fitted mask protecting the jaw as best it could, the tough Wyoming Valley West High School grad was back in the lineup. Keller, a senior history major, who has been a starter for coach Gene Domzalski's team ever since he stepped foot on the Wilkes campus four years ago, is a rose in a garden of weeds; a simple human being in a world too complicated to understand. Teammate Barry Harcharufka, who has known Keller since high school, describes his friend as "easygoing," and adds, "he would do anything for anyone. He's just that kind of guy." Kellefhimself likes the former term, but leaves it in the lockerroom once it's time for baseball. With a bat that is just now starting to come into its own, excellent speed, and a fine throwing arm, the 5-10, 175 pounder performs any way but easygoing. But for K~ller, athletics have been a give and take affair. " I've made a lot of friendships through baseball, and have met a lot of different people. In a way, it's been a education in itself, and I'll always think of it that way." Jack has never been a believer in the "eat, drink, and sleep baseball" method. "I love the sport," he explains, "but it has its place. To take it any farther than the diamond is a big mistake. I've seen what that attitude can do to people." Away from the playing field, the 21-year old Forty-Fort resident finds solitude in music, and enjoys playing his guitar for relaxation. "It's sort of my security blanket," he said, "but I intend to get good at it, and maybe concentrate on it more seriously someday." For Keller, someday is not too far away. In less than two months, his academic and athletic careers come to an abrupt close. He has made many friends in four years, and everyone of them have been better for it. Baseball players come a dime a dozen, but only one is called Jack Keller. 2- Man 0f fense urting Stick men,· JJ • . TY7 t h. D Sl.de zines ·. A ustin J"Y a C ing L' rorn ·R. This was going to be Craig Austin's year. Picking up the slack after his good buddy Billy Winter had injured his foot last season, Austin led the Colonel's to their first Middle Atlantic Conference title in history, and was named all-league when it was finally over. How do you duplici " a season like that? It's hard - -.ery hard, but Austin was going to do it. SATURDAY IN CARLISLE, on acreage where the great Jim Thorpe had become a legend thirty years earlier, Austin was standing on the sidelines, a crutch under each arm, as his teammates struggled past Dickinson 12-10. His collegiate lacrosse career had unexpectedly come to an end weeks earlier, when the Boonton star injured his knee "just goofing around" on a basketball court. Without Austin in the lineup, the scoring burden appears to rest almost entirely in the hands of the uncomparable Winter and sophomore midfielder Bruce Davis, as Saturday's game would indicate, when the pair collected all but two of Wilkes' twelve goals. It can be said of almost every sport, that when offensive production lies in too few hands, defeat cannot lie far ahead. Dickinson tried double and triple teaming both Winter and Davis, without much luck. But can the two have the same amount of success against a better caliber club? THE COLONELS WERE on the road yesterday afternoon . for the second straight time, .battling non-conference foe Lehigh at the Bethlehem campus. Saturday, they will get their first true challenge for the MAC title from Gettysburg at Ralston Field. Gettysburg is one of two obstacles that appear to be blocking the Colonels from the conference trophy roQm once again in 1976. The other is Franklin & Marshall in the season finale on May 8. It is doubtful that Mattei's club can beat Gettysburg with a two-man offense. Somewhere within the ranks must come a replacement for the injured Austin. It took Billy Winter's broken foot to bring out the best in the team last year. Do surprises come in pairs? 3MACHINES IN ONE Runs pre-recorded programs. Learns programs you write.

And in 1972 (his second year at Wilkes), Bearde too good for Wilkes" attitude and their refusal to come Sports Chatter \ brought in a busload of local players. Of that crop, however, only Frank Britt had the patience to stay around. "We've lost a lot of local kids,'' he said, "simply because they didn't want to wait." While the afore-mentioned Ference, OLgo, and Buzinski were responsible for the re-vitalization of Wilkes College basketball, Bearde also admits that their rise to stardom :has hurt. "Every year after they broke into the starting lineup, a local kid comes in and says to himself, ·•well, I did better than they did in high school, so I should play at Wilkes.' -But they don't possess the attitude and stick-with-it desire that those three had. And that makes all the difference in the world." BEARDE HAS ALSO had to be selective with the local cage prospects, because King's (Division II) can give an athlete a full scholarship, and Scranton (Division III) was doing the same (that's a no-no Bessoir). Two weeks ago, we told you of a local guard that Bearde had to shy away from, because King's showed interest in that same prospect. While Scranton may or may not be doing things a little under-handed up there, their success this season has given every Middle Atlantic Conference basketball program a lift. The MAC is becoming a dominant Division III athletic structure in all inter-collegiate sports, and Wilkes no longer has to bow their head in shame when they mention their league affiliation (although the aQministrative operation of the conference is still the biggest farce in the Eastern United States). For Rodger Bearde, the pieces are beginning to fall into place. He has gained a foothold in metropolitan recruiting, and is gaining ground on the local scene as well. And the NCAA ruling going into effect in 1979, that will limit full scholarships to Division I, will drop the rest of the small colleges down to Wilkes' level. And then, it will be a case of "may the best man, and not-the most money ... win." ' 'Yes We Can, 'Shout Golfers After Quadrangular Conquest The Philadelphia Phillies had a slogan a few years back that went "Yes we can, yes we can.'' Well, that chant has been heard around the Wilkes campus all week, and it's being echoed by none other than the Colonel golfers, who ride into tomorrow afternoon's match with Moravian, with an impressive 3--0 record. All three victories came last Friday down at Lebanon Valley, when the Colonels of coach Rollie Schmidt overcame several rain delays to top the host Dutchmen, King's, and Haverford in a quadrangular meeting. "IT'S THE FIRST time in my memory that we've ever won our first three matches," explained Schmidt, "and I'm very pleased to say the least." Lebanon Valley finished fourth in the MAC tournament last April, while cross-town rival King's has always been highly-regarded on the collegiate golf circuit. What makes the fast start even more promising is the fact that the golfers themselves feel they're still a long way from peaking. "We played well enough to win,'' commented team co-captain Larry Gurnari, who finished with a mediocre 84 on the rain-soaked course, "but we are capable of performing a lot better, and I think we will before long." While the golfers' one week stay in North Carolina has gotten the team out of the gate quicker than ever, the local weather is still causing some problems for them. They were scheduled to entertain Lycoming and Ursinus yesterday afternoon up at !rem Temple Country Club, but the course isn't quite ready for play yet. It is expected to be open for their all-important tri-angular with defending MAC champion Scranton, and Upsala next Thursday.

In spite of the sting of a seemingly lopsided defeat, there were some Colonel high points. Wilkes coach Tom Rokita says, "We got beaten pretty soundly but the squad played very well and that is all you can ask. The Royals are really loaded and I'm proucf of our team's performance.'' One of the highlights of the afternoon, was the outstanding performance of senior Fred Bohn. Playing out the number five singles Jpot, he salvaged the only Colonels singles win. •. He later contributed to the other Wilkes team point when he teamed with fellow senior co-captain Gary Paich for a vietory in the doubles. One of the afternoon's most disappointing moments came when Wilkes had to forfeit two matches when two Colonel freshmen missed their starting times. There was an apparent mixup and the first-year men didn't arrive in time. But the Colonels will continue to press ever onward Rokita says, "I'm still encouraged. We played. well in the exhibition College Bowl Tournament last week, finishing third in a field of four teams. SUNY of Binghamton and Scranton finished first and second but we beat King's which has to be considered a moral vietory in any sense."

But when it was all over Tuesday afternoon in cold and rainy Elizabethtown, the Wilkes diamondmen were grateful to be kissing anyone. What the came within one game of kissing, was their Middle Atlantic Conference championship hopes good-bye, after New York Met draftee Carmen Coppa} knocked them down for the second time in two years, to the tune of a heartbreaking 1-0 shutout. But angry and determined, the Colonel offense resurrected once again, and rallied behind the artful pitching of the master-Jim Stehle in the nightcap. HOW IMPORTANT WAS that win? Well, had they lost, coach Gene Domzalski's team would be sitting two full games behind the Blue Jays in the MAC standings. When you consider that Coppa} is going to pitch two of E-town's four remaining MAC tilts, it is safe to assume that a second loss Tuesday would have buried the Colonels' aspirations for the league crown once again. But the victory has kept them even with the defending MAC champions (in the loss column), as they enter Saturday afternoon 's important KRESKY doubleheader with Susquehanna at Artillery Park. Tough One To Lose "It was a big win for us," said an exhuberant Domzalski after the game. "It took a lot of determination and desire on the part of this team to come back in that second game. But they did it, and I'm proud of them." CARMEN COPPAL COULD retire just on the success he's had against the Colonels alone. La&t year on opening day, the tall righthander, with the big motion and the slow curve, salvaged an IHi win at Artillery, and went on to lead his team to the conference crown. Tuesday, he iilnited Wilkes to four hits in the opener, and gained the win over a dejected Andy Kresky, who pitched one of the finest games of his young career, only to lose 1-0. Coppal's name was on the lips of every Colonel player prior to game time. They had hit him well a year ago, and despite his $15,000 bonus offer from the New York Mets, they were unimpressed. Third baseman Don McDermott was like a kid waiting impatiently to open his birthday present, as he talked of the E-town hurler. "I just want to get one good cut at his fastball. We hit him all over the place last year, and I know we can do it again." True to form, the hot-hitting McDermott banged out two of the four Colonel hits against Coppal, including a 400-foot triple in the fourth inning. But his teammates didn't have the same success. Coppal's bread and butter pitch is his fast ball. But he keeps opponents off-stride with an excellent slow curve. He struck out only five Colonel hitters in seven innings gf work, but had them popping up off-speed breaking balls /time and time again. THE COLONELS' ATTENTION now turns toward Susquehanna on Saturday. One year ago down at Selinsgrove, Domzalski's team romped over the Crusaders in the opener 10-2, only to lose by that identical score in the nightcap. A week ago, the veteran mentor had said he would be happy to get through this week winning three of the four league encounters. Using some simple mathematical deduction, that means a sweep Saturday is expected. Domzalski won't decide until game time what two pitchers he'll go with in the twin bill, but sophomore righthander Barry Harcharufka, who picked up the win against Allentown, is a good bet to receive one of the starting assignments. Kresky and Stehle worked Tuesday, and in all probability, one of them will be on the mound again this weekend. The Colonels earned a reprieve from the ashes of destruction Tuesday against E-town, when they won that second game. But winning one and losing one won't do any longer, and they know it. Kissing your sister is all right once in a while, just as long as it doesn't become a habit. DIAMOND DUST: In last year's win over Susquehanna, Stehle set a new Colonel strikeout record, whiffing 16 Crusaders in only seven innings of work ... after three games, McDermott is leading the team in hitting with a .666 BA (6-9 ).

Not that Wilkes hasn't gotten its' share of good athletes, but they certainly don't come knocking on our door, begging for admittance. It takes a combination of desire for a good small college atmosphere on the part of the athlete and a tremendous amount of legwork on the part of the coaching staff.

Recruiting for lacross players takes on a little different twist because of the lack of good quality high school programs. The ratio of high school }across players who go to college is about 2 to 1 when compared to the ratio of other major sports it makes the chase for talent a very specialized and very intensified event. Hobrock says, "If you play lacrosse in high school you are virtually assured of attending a college because then it is not necessary to teach the basics and fundamentals at the collegiate level."

According to Dr. Ralph Rozelle, dean of health sciences, six positions in the Philadelphia institute will be available to Wilkes graduates this year, and the program could expand in coming years. Wilkes is the only area college offering this joint program, and it is the first college to become associated with the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine in this pioneering program. The program provides still another "new path" to carfers in medicine, just as the Wilkes-Hahnemann cooperative program is an innovative concept in family medicine. After being selected for the podiatry program, students will begin four 'years of study at the Philadelphia college. Podiatric medicine, which is one of the oldest practicing arts, is specifically concerned with the examination, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders of the human foot. Treatment may be by medical, surgical, mechanical and physical means. Podiatrists are the only health professionals who share legal authority with doctors of medicine, osteopathy and dentistry to make independent professional judgments and to administer medical and surgical treatment at their own discretion. Podiatrists may establish a generalized practice or may elect to specialize in a particular area. Gina O'Brien Orthopedic treatment, surgery, podopediatrics (treatment of children) and podogeriatrics (treatment of the aged) are some of the opportunities in specialized fields. The Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine has achieved considerable recognition, as ilThe Human Services Committee, lustrated by an invitation it received , in conjunction with the American from the Philadelphia Science Red Cross, will sponsor the final Center to become a member of that "Blood Donor Day" of the year organization. This invitation was the Thursday, April 22 from 9:30 a.m. to first extended in the history of the · 4 p.m. in the gym. .

Blood Day Set For Thursday In/DC Race continued on page 6 A total of 431 students cast ballots - 17 percent of the 2,450 eligible full, part-time, and graduate students. Miss O'Brien and Berger were the only two candidates listed on the ballot. Write in votes were cast for SG members Steve Esrick, 2; Patty Cullinan, 2; and Mary Jean DeSandes, 1. Three votes were ruled invalid for technical reasons. Additional votes were cast for seven other write-in candidates. These votes were judged invalid in accordance with an SG executive council decision Saturday not to tally any votes cast for non-SG members. The council interpreted a section of the SG constitution to disallow candidaces from persons who were not SG members. The issue of eligibility arose when it became apparent that one or more persons who were not members of SG might seek the presidency as write-in candidates. Miss O'Brien is a junior biology major. A native of Trenton, New Jersey, she currently resides in Barre Hall. In her campaign, Miss- O'Brien strongly favored better organization for SG and use of parliamentary procedure to promote more effective SG meetings. "I would continue SG on its present course, but with more emphasis on academics," Miss O'Brien said in a pre-election interview. She proposed a change in club funding policy, to make it easier for clubs to approach SG for funds. Lear Challenges IDC Chief LoPresti CANDID~TES - Bruce Lear and IDC President Mike LoPresti discussing IDC at length the other day. Lear will challenge LoPresti, the incumbent, in the IDC election, Tuesday, April 22. Bruce Lear, a junior history major, will challenge incumbent Mike LoPresti for the presidential spot in the IDC elections, Tuesday, April 27. Lear, a member of the wrestling team and resident of Dennison Hall, maintains that IDC has been effective this year, but indicates that the non-participation by the IDC representatives has hurt the overall effectiveness of IDC this year. " I'd like to get more students involved with IDC.'' he says. " There is not enough communication between the adn1inistration and JDC. " Citing the recent incident of the $25 transfer from IDC's account to the SUB account br Assistant Dean Edward Baltruchitis as a prime example, Lear says strongly, "How are you going to buck somebody like that." . IDC President Mike LoPresti feels the biggest problem with IDC is t~e apathy." It worked very well this year, considering the large turnover, mostly with freshmen and sophomores," he says. " I feel I have a good rapport with the adn1inistration and the staff," he says. Lopresti is working with Dean Linda Holbrock on a record book that will list the various events and things to do on campus and around town for the incoming freshman. LoPresti, if reelected, will try to concentrate on working with the freshman, and try to get them involved in different activities. " The juniors and seniors are set in their ways," he says. LoPresti, when questioned about the possibility of Lear winning the election, said he didn't feel Lear posed any problem. " The record should stand by itself. I think it should be a good contest." . Vice-presidential nominees are Bert Katz and Al Franz. Tom Trost, the current IDC vice-president, will be graduating. For the job of recording secretary, Maryanne Bartoszek and Shawn Rozette are the nominees. Kim Witherow and Sherry Kessler are the only nominees for corresponding secretary and treasurer. �The Beacon Page2 April 15, 1976 Molly Dennison Fifth To Resign AB~w:!!2.psing Director Since 1972 For the success of any event, a lot of time and effort is needed.

The accounting internship program recently ended for this year's accounting majors. Out of approximately 30 seniors, seven received internships. · The internship program offers practical experience in the office of a professional accountant or the equivalent. In most cases the internship leads to a permanent position with the firm. Five out of the seven interns have been offered full time positions. Debbie Gudoski, Rich Pape, Brian Schlier and Roger Sorenson spent their internships with four major public accounting firms . All four received permanent job offers. Gudoski, who was with Laventhol & Horwath in Wilkes-Barre, says she wants an accounting career more than ever now. She felt that the program she was in was paced so that she didn't feel bombarded, and she already knew many of the things · she was told. Although she was sent on a few audits, she spent most of her time. in the tax department which she "loved." Rich Pape spent ten weeks in New York City with Peat, Marwick & Mitchell. After three weeks of training he was sent out on three audits. " It was really good," he commented. Haskins and Sells in New York City will be Brian Schlier's place of employment beginning in September. His 10;-week internship was spent with this firm auditing Merrill Lynch in New York. Because of the type company Merrill Lynch is, Schlier found that his statistics course helped more than any of the accounting courses he took at Wilkes. Roger Sorenson worked with Arthur Andersen for 10 weeks in New York City. After a one-week training program, Roger was involved entirely in auditing. He .

Sorenson added, "I like accounting a lot · more_ now than I did in the classroom." Debbie Dinkle worked for Federal Prison Industries in Washington, D.C. during the summer. The work involved combining accounting information from all the prisons in the U.S., which produce merchandise to be sold to the Federal government. Dinkle found the work was "a lot easier than what I expected." She likes accounting more than she did in the classroom and added, "I came back to school and I was bored." Dinkle received a temporary position starting June 7. Rich Mackey spent two and a half months in the summer with Ingersoll Rand working on an internal audit. The industrial equipment corporation is based in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, but Mackey worked in Paramas, New Jersey for six weeks, one week in West Virginia and three to four weeks in Oregon. "I had a lot of fun, " he commented and added, "Applying what I've been learning in school increased the enjoyment.'' Rich Rutkowski worked with Mr. Pawlenok in the Wilkes College finance office for 10 weeks. He found the work to be very helpful and was mainly involved in preparing for a government audit for flood losses and an analysis of expenses. Bomb Scare In Parrish Parrish Hall was evacuated shortly after 1 p.m. Tuesday when it was reported that a bomb had been placed in the building and would explode at 1:30 p.m. After the building was evacuated, Wilkes-Barre detectives and the college's security personnel searched the structure, but they did not find any explosive device. The March of Dimes Bicentennial Walk-a-thon, coordinated by the Human Services Committee, is hoping to get off on the right foot with a large number of participants in the annual event on Sunday, April 25. Sponsored by the March of Dimes National Foundation, Northeast Pennsylvania Chapter, the walk-athon actually consists of eight different walks in N.E. Pennsylvania. The Wilkes-Barre walk begins at Public Square with registrations from 7:30-8: 30 a.m., and follows a well-organized route through Wilkes-Barre, Plains, Pittston, Exeter, Wyoming and Kingston before it ends in Kirby Park.

' ll 1 �Page5 The Beacon April 15, 1976 Freddy Wall Serves With A Smile /4 By Lisa Waznik A pair of eyes on campus has seen more than 25 classes graduate from this institution. Those warm friendly eyes belong to Fred Wall (better known to all as "Freddy';), the "old timer" in the cafeteria who is the assistant manager and chef. "Back in 1950, Dr. Farley asked me to come to Wilkes with my wife Laura, and service the entire food department, and we did it ourselves!" Fred relates. However, he is quick to remind us that at that time there were less than 50 resident students as compared to the near 700 that he serves today. Back in 1942, Fred had his beginnings in the Navy as the ship's cook. On the ship he toured the South Pacific for three years and finally wound up at home in Washington, D.C. In Washington, he was employed at the Press Cafeteria and is proud to reveal he " was one of the cooks for President Roosevelt." From our nation's capital, Fred traveled to Philadelphia, to be the cook at Tillie's Seafood Place and later to Portland, Maine to prepare food at Tall Timbers Ranch. Mt. Airy Lodge was the next stop in his journeys where he fed the vacationers. Finally Freddy came to Wilkes-Barre to become the cook at the Holland Luncheonette, which was located on Public Square many years ago. It was there that he met Dr. Farley and was persuaded to · come to Wilkes. In the position of chef, perhaps the most highly respected specialist is the "sauce and soup" man. Fred, who is such a specialist, says his concoctions are "very tasty! " At the Wilkes Dining Hall, Fred has munerous responsibilities. He must make sure that all students he serves are totally satisfied and "if you don't like the food, just bring it back to me and we'll see what's wrong and fix that." By Marianne Monta Dr.· Reif Meets The Easter Bunny It's holiday time again at Wilkes College. Wilkes students everywhere are busy preparing for the huge three-day vacation (just about long enough to pack, unpack, and repack). But whether you'll be celebrating Easter or Passover there is a special place in everyone's heart for the poor dumb soul :-- the Easter Bunny. ' This blessed creature spends all his time distributing goodies to kids instead of staying home like the rest of the rabbits and adding to the population explosion. I thought he should be appreciated for making this supreme sacrifice so I invited him to attend classes with me this week. One of the highlights of this trip was introducing E.B. to the incomparable Dr. Reif. I took E.B. to Dr. Reif's bio class.

College Issues To Be Discussed At 'Operation Future' Confah A unique opportunity to discuss the future of Wilkes College will be presented to Wilkes students, faculty, staff, and administrators by "Operation Future" Monday through Wednesday, May 24-26. The Teacher Recognition and Effectiveness Committee, concerned mainly with improving teacher effectiveness, is organizing "Operation Future" to increase interaction of the college's·students, faculty, staff and administration. According to Dr. Richard Rees of the Education Department, "Never before has anything like this been attempted here. All of us at the college will have the opportunity to see where we are at and where we are going." About 50 people will participate in the work session - approximately half will be students. Dr. Rees explained that a representative group will be chosen. "We are trying to get an equal number of males and females, active and non-active students, and a sampling of various I_Ilajors." Th'e goals of "Operation Future" include: to clarify student, faculty, staff and administration points of view about selected issues at the college; establish techniques tQ conduct a clarification process for use by teachers in their classrooms; and to formulate follow-up plans for the selected issues discussed. On May 24, participants wfll meet at the college for about an hour to identify the issues to be discussed at the workshop. Examples of issues which may be discussed include how to improve teacher effectiveness or how to enhance the counseling service between teachers and students. Bookand Record Mart On May 25, the group will journey to the Bear Creek Camp and Conference Site in Bear Creek. After a nucrolab to introduce participants to each other, a summary of data · from the preceding day will be presented. Homogeneous and heterogeneous . groups of students, faculty, administration, and staff will be formed to report on prominent issues. Participants will evaluate the day. On the final day, evaluation results will be reported and a · priorities will be assigned to the BLOOD DAY from page 1 issues selected. There will be sub-group problem-solving and planning discussions before the session concludes. Participants must be prepared to stay the night of May 25 at the conference site. Housing and four meals will be provided. "Operation Future" costs approximately $1300, of which $1000 is being funded by the U.S. Office of Education. The college is funding the remainder. Dr. Rees said, "Hopefully, this won't be a 'one-shot' affair. Maybe it will be the beginning of new patterns of interaction.

Main St. Wilkes-Barre 825-4767 Pizza is an important part 'Of a college student's life. It is a great dietary supplement to evening meals at the cafeteria. It was my mission last week to be _a pizza tester. This job entailed finding the best crust for the least dough in the Wilkes-Barre area. A job like this could have lasted 5 to 10 years with 60 pizza places in the immediate area. I knew that tackling a job of that magnitude would surely cut out any hopes of ever being seen on the beach this summer. Therefore, I decided to visit just the pizza places within walking distance of Wilkes. I also decided to bring along a couple taste-testers to take some of the responsibility and poundage from my shoulders and stomach, respectively. Important things to look for when searching for good pizza are chewable crust and lots of cheese, without pools of grease. Pizza prices in the area are relatively comparable. Pizza sizes differ considerably, and it is important to find out the size of pizza you are getting when you consider the price. Januzzi's pizza was my first stop . on my around-the-town tour of pizza joints. Januzzi ~pizza is primarily known for its-delivery service. It is not, by far, the finest pizza around but when hunger strikes at 11 at night and no one has a car - it tastes somewhat better. Small pizzas at JanUzzi are $2.10 and the large size is $2.85. Extras on the pie are 50 cents more. Pappas' Pizza is a well-known chain around college towns. '!'he atmosphere inside lacks intimacy but the service is fast, and the pizza is not bad. Pappas is open Monday through Friday from 11 to 1 a.m. and Saturday from 4 to 1 a.m. A 10 inch plain pie is $1.50, while extras vary from 15 cents to 20 cents more. Cosenzas is under new management and their service and· quality has greatly improved. They now deliver any size order, and offer a variety of sandwiches in addition to pizza. Consenza's is open Monday through Saturday 10 to 2 a.m. and Sunday 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. Roma Pizza was my last stop. They are located in the Penn Plaza and are new-comers to WilkesBarre. They have a free delivery service and feature a good grade of pizza. Roma is open seven days a week and, in addition to their pizza menu offer a wide range of sandwich choices. A medium pizza at Roma is $2.15, large is $2.80. Extras are added accordingly. ' After a week of pizza I have had it for a long time with crust and dough. I feel fairly adept at some Italian linguistics, and my clothes have never fit worse in my life. Bos"lmt_fiftf_ Stationery, Street floor I '· �April 15, 1976 The Beacon Page7 Golfers' Plea: 'Open· Up lrem' BYPAULDOMOWITCH As the Wilkes College golfers prepare for their important showdown with defending Middle Atlantic Conference champion Scranton University this afternoon, the question is not whether or not they ean beat them, but whether or not they will play. As of Tuesday, !rem Temple Country Club, the home course of coach Rollie Schmidt's team, was still not open. The team had been scheduled to open up at home more than a week ago, but cold weather and a soggy playing surface forced an abrupt cancellation then, and unless Irem authorities open the course this afternoon, the same is likely to happen once again. It's a frustrating feeling -for the Colonels, who have gotten off to their finest start in history, winning four in a row. " If this match today goes on as scheduled" said co-captain Larry Gurnari, "I r eally believe we'r e going to be &-0 by tonight. We can beat them. " Despite the fact that Scranton won the Middle Atlantic Conference team title down at Hidden Springs Country Club in Willow Grove last April, today's match is a toss up. The Rpyals have gotten off to a very slow start, winning only two of their first six encounters, and they will be playing without the services of their ace Ed Karpovitch, who finished fifth in last year's MAC's. Karpovitch is out with an injury. Not including the 1975 Middle Atlantic Conference tournament, the two teams met each other thre.e times last campaign. Scranton won two of those three, with both victories coming on the Scranton Municipal course. But it's the match they won that the Colonels remember well. With Mark Jarolen, Larry Gurnari, and Kenny Dunlavage all shooting 81's on the 61 ; ;-yard Irem course, the Colonels overcame an impressive 18shole round of 77 by ~cranton's Karpovitch, to beat the Royals 410-417. At the time, Schmidt called the victory the finest performance by a team he's coached since Wiikes won the back to back conference titles in 1971 and 1972. Jarolen, Gurnari, and Dunlavage will once again be counted on this afternoon, if the tri-angular match, which also includes Upsala, goes on. Those three, along with freshman Joe Skldaney, who shot an 87 in his team's win over Moravian last week, will spearhead the Blue and Gold hopes, with three other Colonel golfers getting starts today. " If we can win these two today," said co-captain Jarolen, "it's going to give our confidence a big boost, and that will mean a lot with the MAC's just around the corner." The conference event is scheduled for April 27 at Hidden Springs .. Following today's tri-angular, the team will take a break for Easter recess, and resume action next Thursday, when they take on Moravian .and Muhlenberg, on the latter's course. 'The Magnificent Six' Hoitest Show Quick, what's the hottest show in town right now? " All the President's Men" up at Cinema I? Wrong. " Bad News Bears" at the Barre East? Wrong again. "Confessions of a Porno Queen" in the Oak Hill Drive-In? Well, a close second maybe, but not number one. The show that's got everybody talking is none other than "The Magnificent Six," which is being held over at Artillery (Park that is). No, it's not a shoot 'ell! up Western about six gunslingers, who rescue a Mexican town from the terrifying grips of ruthless outlaws. Instead, it's the story of six pitchers who lead a college baseball team to fame and glory, and a national championship (oops, we gave away the ending ). THE SIX MEMBERS of the Colonel "top of the hill gang" have been nothing less than sensational since opening day, leading the team to a 6-1 start and limiting the opposition to six earned runs in 50 innings, for a 1.08 ERA. So, without any further adieu, let's meet the stars of the show. Jim Stehle (played by Nick Nolte of "Rich Man, Poor Man" fame ) - " Pin" has two of the Colonel's six wins, an ERA even lower than the staff's, and an average of 13.2 strikeouts every nine innings. The vel' ':!ity of his fastball denies believability. And if you doubt that, just ask the pro scouts that follow him. Control has plagued him throughout his career, but Saturday against Susquehanna, he walked only three batters. In the movie, it's Stehle (dressed in white) who faces Rotten College (dressed in black) in the national championship game. Like all heroes, Pin prevails, striking out 27 batters in succession, as Wilkes wins the title, and scout Elmer Vallo signs the entire team to professional contracts (would you believe majer league expans 1n into Toronto and Wilkes-Barre?) . Andy "the Amazing" Kresky (played by Donald Sutherland) - Kresky led the Colonels in victories as a rookie, and threw a no-hitter against Scranton. He has a good fastball, an even better curve, and flawless control. In the movie, it's Kresky who beats Bong College in the semi-finals, with a little help trom teammate Bill Polaha, who smokes a homer in thP. last inning to win it. BARRY HARCHARUFKA (PLAYED by Bruce Dern)t.P.ammates call him Harch or Hong Kong ( from Luzerne). • in Town Like Stehle, the sophomore righthander is 2--0, with wins over Allentown and Bloomsburg. Near the movie's climax, coaches Dornzalski and Duliba are kidnapped by Rotten College supporters, and Harch steps in to take over the helm. He helps win the title game for his team, when, using some slick strategy in the las_t inning, he has Mike Supczenski steal home from first base ("it saves time"). Danny Pisarcik (had trouble casting for his part, but Larry Czonka finally won out over Walt Williams) - the Randolph-Macon fans nicknamed Danny "no-neck." Only a freshman, he's got good control (they say he walked a batter two years ago) , and is going to be an asset to the staff down the stretch. In the picture, Danny is stricken with a severe case of the hiccups just prior to the semi-final game with Bong, and listens to the game from a hospital bed on WCLH. Sports:- By Paul Oomowitch Chatter . Joe Delozier (Charles Bronson) - the 6-2 righthander . had a great Southern trip, but has only started one game thus far, and received no decision. The strong, silent type, Delozier's fastoall commands a great deal of respect. Joe gives the old Knute Rockne speech in the dugout after the Colonels fall behind to Bong College, and as in all great stories, it works (I want you guys to go out there and win it for no-neck"). Manny Evans (played by himself) - Penguin is the biggest surprise of the season. A knuckleball specialist, he came in against Bloom in the second game of the twin bill down 3--0, and walked away with a 4-3 victory. When he's got that "goofy ball" moving, he can make the best of hitters look like complete fools. Manny becomes a hero in . the movie, when the plane that is jetting the team to Missouri for the championship game against Rotten College, is machined-gunned by Rotten Air Force ROTC students. Taking over the controls, Pengy lands the plane safely on an iceberg in the Arctic, and the team catches PENGYANDJOE . Two of 'The Magnificient Six' the next bus South for Missouri, arriving m ple,nty of time for the game. After they beat Rotten College for the championship, Pisarcik makes a miraculous recovery, Domzalski and Duliba are released unharmed, and as it should be, all the Colonels return to Wilkes-Barre and live happily ever after. The moral of the story- why, the good guys always win.• Editor's note: If you have trouble telling which ones are the good guys, they're the ones with pin-striped uniforms, and a gold " W" on their hat. Gary Paich:A Model Of Consistancy BY JEFF ACORNLEY GARYPAICH The Wilkes College tennis team's best doubles combo looks not unlike a modern day version of David and Goliath. But alas and alack, the team of Colonel co-captains, Gary Paich and Fred Bohn, play a mean game of doubles. The rather large gentleman with the blonde curly hair is Gary Paich. He is quite a guy. He is the guy that Coach Tom Rokita has tremendous respect for. He is the guy about whom Rokita remarked, "I wish I had a whole team full of Gary Paich's." Gary has been a letterman each of his four years at Wilkes and has reigned as one of the top point getters in Colonel net history. His most exciting moments in Colonel tennis were in the season of 1974 when the team just missed copping the MAC crown. "We had an excellent team 2 years ago and were upset late in the season by Elizabethtown and Albright to ruin our championship hopes. We still have three starters from that team in Judd Davis, Fred Bohn, and myself. This years team has a great attitude and can win and wants to win." Gary has much admiration for his. coach as well as his teammates. "Coach Rokita does a fantastic iob with the tennis program here at Wilkes. Since Wilkes doesn't recruit its players, it makes his job of producing a winner that much more difficult. He does a yeoman job with the material he has available to him." Gary is special in that he does everything well. He was a winner in high school where his Dover High School team won the conference championship in his junior year with a 16-1 record. He has been a winner in college tennis where his singles record is better than .500 and has won close to 8 of. every ten doubles matches in his career. When someone of Gary's calibre comes along it is certainly a joy. Perhaps his coach says it best. "Gary simply does everything extremely well. He is a very able co-captain and plays a very con-1 sistent game of .te~is. We will miss him much next year." In these days of such atrocities of specialization in athletics as designated hitters and designated runners and as many as three different kickers on one team, it is special when an athlete as well-rounded as Gary makes his presence felt on campus. �Page8 The Beacon •• EACON April 15, 1976 SPORTS Colonels After 7th Today; On The Road With Del Val BY EARL MONK The Wilkes College baseball team travels to Doylestown this afternoon, as they look for their seventh victory of the season, and sixth in a row against the Delaware Valley diamondmen. The clash with the·Aggies is a non-conference battle, and coach Gene Domzalski is expected to use several pitchers, giving most of the Colonel hill staf{. the opportunity to get in some work. THE COWNELS ARE coming off If highly successful weekend, which saw them sweep two from Bloomsburg, despite harsh weather concU.tions. But the best was yet to come the next day. Less than twenty-four hours later, they defeated MAC North-West section rival Susquehanna in a doubleheader, to up their conference record to 3-1. This leaves them tied with Elizabethtown for the conference lead. There were many heroes in the four victories. The pitching once again was superb: Barry Harcharufka, the big sophomore righthander allowed only one run in the first Bloomsburg game, to pick up his second win of the young season. Then, junior knuckleballer Manny Evans _ came to the rescue of starter Joe Delozier , and picked up a 4-3 win in the nightcap. He pitched 2 and one-third innings of shutout ball, while the Colonels, who had fallPn -- Wilkes And E-town Deadlocked For Lead With the 1976 college baseball season nearing the mid-way mark, Wilkes and Elizabethtown are deadlocked for the lead in the Middle Atlantic Conference NorthWest Section, with identical 3-1 records. Trailing in order are Susquiehanna (2-2) , Albright (0-0), and Juniata (0-4) . Elizabethtown, the defending sectional champs, swept a pair from hapless Juniata two weeks ago, but had to settle for a split with Wilkes a few days later. The Colonels followed their win-loss to the Blue Jays with a double conquest of Susquehanna last Saturday. Still remaining on E-town's conference card is Albright this afternoon at home, and Susquehanna on April 24, also at home. Both encounters are doubleheaders. The Colonels will meet Albright down in Reading next Thursday afternoon, and conclude their MAC slate at home on May ·1, against winless Juniata. Two years ago, it was Albright that knocked the Colonels from championship contention by beating them in extra innings down there. The MAC North-West Section team with the best conference record, once the round-robin schedule concludes, will then face off against the MAC North-East Sectional champ for the overall Northern Division title on May 15, and the almost certain right to enter the NCAA Division III post-season tournament. Upsala is cur~ rently on top in the North-East Section. Current,North-West standings are: W L ELIZABETHTOWN WILKES SUSQUEHANNA ALBRIGHT JUNIATA 3 3 2 0 0 1 1 2 0 4 behind 3-0, rallied behind him for fo ur rw1s in the sixth, to pull off the sweep. Though the weather gave Colonel hitters fits , they came through when the chips were down. Especially starring in the . clutch was third baseman Jim Michaels. The junior drove in the winning run with a single in the opener, and tied the second with a key sacrifice fl:v.. SUSQUEHANNA CAME TO Artillery Park Saturday leading the Middle Atlantic Conference North-West Section, but got a rude awakening from the Colonels. Both Andy Kresky and J im Stehle pitched complete games in the 8-1, 8-1 doubleheader sweep. Colonel hitters went wild in the twin bill, collecting 19 hits on the afternoon. In the first game, Steve Leskiw and Don McDermott stood out as they both hit home· runs. Leskiw's round tripper set a new Wilkes career record for home runs with eight. In the second game, centerfielder Mike Supczenski drove a 420-foot shot over the rightfield fence in the second -inning, for his first home run of the season. McDermott added his second homer of the day in thi third, while Michaels continued his hot hitting, with a three run blast in the fifth. Supczenski also Aided Stehle in the field with two outstanding catches. COWNEL CWUTS: eolonels have four MAC North-West section games remaining.

ANOTHER HOMER FOR McDERMOTT Colonels Succumb, 12-8 FDU 'Winterized,' But Wins BYPAULDOMOWITCH . Billy Winter scored ...and scored ...and scored... and _ scored ...and scored. By afternoon's end yesterday at Ralston Field, Wilkes' all-American attackman tallied five goals and one assist against the Madison FDU lacrossemen. But the nationally rankea Jersey Devils were not terribly disappointed over Winter's scoring spree, because they eventually won the contest 12-8. As a matter of fact, they dicln"'t really expect to stop him very much. SAID WINNING COACH Ted Brunning: " Winter is one of the finest lacrosse players in the country. Sure, we could have double and triple teamed him. But by doing that, you make the rest of your defense vulnerable. So we decided to just play him one on one, and concentrate on ,stopping the rest of Wilkes' attack-which we did." Senior defenseman Dave Wang received the assignment to guard Winter, and if he ever decides to play pro hockey, he'll have little trouble filling the shoes of the Philadelphia Flyers' Mr. Mean, Dave Schultz. The big Jersey Devil was assessed six of his team's eight penalties during the course of the game, but unf9rtunately, the Colonels of Coach Chuck Mattei, now 2.2 on the season, managed to capitalize on only three of them. FDU broke out to an early 1-0 lead, but Winter tied the game seconds later, with an unassisted goal. Blue and Gold goalie Bill Harris, who finished the day with 21 saves, came up with three superb ones during the early portion of the period, as FDU put the pressure on the Wilkes defense.· Finally clearing it out of their own end, Winter put the Colonels on top 2::1, with just over two minutes left in the first quarter, on a shot from the left side. THE JERSEY DEVILS went to the fast break early in the second quarter and came up with four straight goals, two of them by their all-American candidate Rich Wetter, to charge into a · 5-2 advantage. No, Winter did not score again - but he did shovel off an assist to teammate Bruce Davis, who did, and the FDU lead was narrowed to a pair: Thirty seconds later, however, it was Wetter on the break to make it 6-3 at the half. The Colonels started the third quarter a man up, thanks to Wang's aggressiveness, and it took Winter only five seconds to score oa a pass from midfielder Kurt Franke. Wilkes had another power play opportunity minutes later, but couldn't pull it off. Seconds after the teams were even again, however, Winter hit the chords unassisted to narrow FDU's lead to one, 6-5. After Winter was penalized for slashing midway throught the period, the Colonels found themselves a man down. But attackman Pinky DiZebba picked off a Jersey Devil pass, and fed teammate Gre Wild for a shorthanded goal to tie the 5ame. PUTIING CONSTANT PRESSURE on Lhe FUD goal, Winter scored again, and Davis followed that up with yet another tally on an assist from Franke, and the Colonel's were up 8-6. But FDU refused to crack, and came back with three straight goals of their own ; the last one by Wetter to give them the lead for good with one minute left in the third period. The Colonels had plenty of opportunities in the final quarter, including several • power plays. During one instance, FDU found themselves two men down to Wilkes, but Mattei's club either lost possession or took a poor percentage shot. A goal by FDU attackman Art Beccaris at the eight minute mark, put his team up 12-a, and that completed the ~coring.

The finest showing came from the 440 relay team of Kevin McHale, John Senatore, Mark Molitoris, and the old man of the club, sophomore Ed Murray. They finished second with an excellent time of 45 :9. Members of the relay team also placed well in other events as John Senatore was third in the 100. yd. dash and Kevin McHale finished fifth in the 220 yd. event. Norm Verhoog had an excellent time in the 880 yr. run to qualify him for fourth place. Mike Salley competed in the two-mile marathon, while the Colonels had two men place in the javelin event. Don Denko was third and Bill Slavoski finished fifth. -------------------------------- ..I � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Journalism 252 requires the students to spend six to eight hours a week in a local business, working in journalism. The interns apply the knowledge they obtained from their journalism courses as well as any experience gained by working with the college publications and radio station. This semester the interns include: Sandy Akromas, Plymouth, Wilkes College Public Relations Office; Mary Ellen Alu, Pittston, Courthouse Reporter with the TimesLeader Evening News Record reporter; Frank Baran, Kingston, Pennsylvania Economy League; Joe Buckley, Pittston Ta.wnship, Commonwealth Telephone Company; Deborah Hargraves, WilkesBarre, WNEP-TV; Janet Levitski, Forty Fort, First Eastern Bank, Public Relations; Fred Lohman, Kingston, Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, Public Relations; Barb Long, Trucksville, Sheldon Vale Advertising Associates; Dotty Martin, West Wyoming, Sunday Dispatch and Terry Williams, Mountaintop, WilkesBarre General Hospital, Public Relations. According to Thomas Moron, adjunct professor of journalism, there is "no substitute for the hands-on situation." The students gain experience in working in a professional atmosphere. The internship is a relatively new course. Moran mentioned this semester is only the second group to complete the internship requirements. So far, the program seems to be "a tremendous success. There has been a positive reaction from the people in the outside world," commented Moran. The favorable response in- dicates to Moran the fact that the students have sufficient preparation to hold their own." The students also reflect the positive attitude toward the internships. "It goes beyond the classroom," commented Joe Buckley about his work at Commonwealth Telephone. Barb Long said she was "learning a lot from" her internship with Sheldon Vale Advertising Associates.

The night of April 21st was a beautiful, warm spring night and the University did nothing to spoil it. The concert was very well-handled. There were no long waiting lines, no crowding, plenty of police to prevent trouble, four entrances, and girls in bathing suits got in free. All kinds of people turned out. People in cowboy hats, people dressed to the hilt, and some were hardly dressed at all, but nobody seemed disappointed with the show. Elliot Murphy, an RCA recording artist, started the program with songs from his "Aquashell" and "Nightlights" albums. Murphy's lyrics are in a Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen style. He accents them well with a voice that ranges from a low, raspy whisper to loud and clear with power. Murphy wasn't advertised on the posters at the concert and he should have been given publicity. The crowd responded well to his music. By the time he left the stage, the audience was on his side and brought him back for an encore. - Murphy's songs were a.bout Ho_lly, wood, rich girls, hangin' out, and looking for a hero's soul. He encored with "A Poison Pen," a combination of "a little boogie and a little think." Loggins and Messina were the reason everyone was there - and after a short intermission,_they were · welcomed back on stage by a standing ovation. The stage was decorated with backdrops from their latest album, "Native Sons." They started the show softly just the two of them and their acoustic guitars. Their second song was "Danny's Song," and the audience loved it. From the beginning, Loggins and Messina had the crowd on their side, and the crowd stayed with them throughout the performance. Loggins and Messina featured old favorite tunes mixed with their recent material, in a program that had the excellence of studio sound and the excitement of a live performance. The harmonies were . By Marianne Mont 'Spring Fever' With the recent hot, sunny weather, an early cherry blossom visit, and that tiny taste of vacation, Wilkes students everywhere are showing signs of that near-fatal disease - Spring Fever. The disease is easy to diagnose by just looking at the face of the stricken one. His eyes sparkle, cheeks are sunburnt or freckled, and a silly grin grows on his face from ear to ear. But this is only the outward signs of the post-winter epidemic. There are other, deep-rooted symptoms. So, from my goody bag of things every Wilkes student should know, I've drawn the list of Spring Fever Symptoms to help you diagnose the sickness and get to work on the treatment. (By the way the only sure cure for Spring Fever is tQ shoot the patient and put him out of his misery! ) · You Know You Have Spring Fever When : 1. You begin to fall in love with everything around you. Not just everyone - I mean every thing. Your crush on that cute boy extends to a warm feeling for the bird on the Parrish window sill, to the tree across the street, and even to the. Wilkes-Barre pothole you sprained your ankle in. This form - of Spring Fever becomes really dangerous when you start hugging your books or kissing your roommate good-bye. ,..; " Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina perfect, and the sound was well-balanced throughout the show. After the quiet acoustic beginning, the rest of the band came on stage and the excitement really began. They played songs from all of their albums. Some of the songs performed were: "Whiskey;" "Be Free;" "Better 'fhink Twice" (a song Jim Messina recorded with Poco); "Oh Lonesome Me" (a country-western traditional); "Brand New Bottle;" · "Good Friends;" "Loving; " and a long version of "Vahevala" with ·plenty of ad-libbing and solos. When the stage lights came on and the band said good-night, the crowd went wild. There was no way they were letting Loggins and Messina leave without an encore. At first it looked like there wasn't going to be one, but after three or four minutes . of enthusiastic applause, they came back on stage. Loggins and Messina rocked the house down with an encore: ' 'Your Mama Don't Dance," "Splish Splash," and "Nobody But You." When it was over, most people had sweat showing on their faces from the heat in the auditorium, but everyone was happy. I talked to Tom Fox, one of the promoters of the concert, about the financial aspects of putting on a concert. Fox said he had very little trouble putting on this show and his usual profit is about ten percent. The only problem Fox did have was the · large number of phony passes that had been made, cutting into everyone's profits. Fox said putting on shows without the cooperation of a college are more difficult. Licenses are hard to get and the cities are afraid of having trouble with the concert-goers.Until lately, according to Fox, school involvement in the concerts had been . good, but it has dropped off. The attendance isn't as good as it used to be. This area needs men like Tom Fox to present musical talent, but the promoters need the support of the people in the area to make concerts work. 2. You start singing all the time. You flunk a test and smile humming "I'm a Loser; " overbleach your clothes to the tune of "Whiter Shade of Pale; " and sit on your legs so long they fall asleep as you whistle " Trying to Get the Feeling Again." 3. You begin handing out money. Thjs is when you know you're sick. You leave a tip on the table in the Caf and the Commons. You go to Raspen and ask him if he needs financial aid. And finally you offer to send the administration on an all-expense paid trip to Hawaii. (Is there anything worse?) 4. You start cleaning everything. First it's your room, then you take a broom and commence sweeping up Wilkes-Barre. Finally, you are seen carrying a hose around to squirt any of your classmates (or profs) that look dirty. 5. You stop people on .the street and start preaching to them about life. You preach to the drunks and work yourself up to clergymen. Your profs stop calling on you in class because they know you're pr~pared to answer a simple question with a -lengthened version of "War and Peace." That's all I can tell you. If you or a loved one happens to catch this mysteriously wonderful personality problem, all you can do is ~rir.l ~nd bear it. No one is really hurt by Spring Fever and you have to admit, 1t 1s a welcome change from Winter Withdrawal! ' Secretary Morini Enjoys Work By Mary Stencavage Mildred Morini "My great love is literature and it always has been," says Mrs. Mildred Morini, secretary for the English Department. Mrs. Morini has been taking English and literature courses while working at Wilkes .. She started in 1957 working in the Guidance and Placement Office, staying there for eight years. . After leaving the area for a while, Mrs. Morini returned to WilkesBarre and to Wilkes. She then began her work for the English Department. Presently, Mrs. Morini is taking a modern novel course. She commented that she takes?.the courses for her own personal pleasure and benefit, although to date she has accumulated approximately thirty credits. Mrs. Morini loves her work at Wilkes and the people she comes in contact with. She has a great rapport with the students, as was witnessed during this interview, when students came in for various reasons. Aside from her work here, Mrs. Morini has done extensive traveling. She has toured the United States and the Caribbean and has visited Europe twice. .

Ahead For Colonels.~.Maybe It was Friday; the day after the Colonels had swept a pair from Albright, and raised their record to 11-1. Until now, a -Middle Atlantic Conference championship. and an NCAA tournament invitation were just visions, that had an awful long way to go before they materialized. But Thursday's sweep altered all that, and now the race is on. Sports Information Director George Pawlush is getting out stat sheets and news clippings to members of the NCAA selection committee, head coach Gene Domzalski is doing a little more praying than usual, and the Blue and Gold diamondmen keep winning. The road ahead - the MAC playoffs and the NCAA tournament is a maze of complicated twists and turns, that would baffle even the brightest sports fan. But to know it is to love it, so here goes nothing. SHOULD WILKES and Elizabethtown finish deadlocked for first place in the Middle Atlantic Conference North-West section, they will face each other in a one-game playoff on either May 10, 11, o_r 12, at a site-yet to be determined. It would be only appropriate however, that the contest be played at E-town, since they've played all of their conference games at home this year. The winner of that game, if it is at all necessary, then advances to the Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs with the other three sectional winners on Saturday, May 15, at another sight yet to be determined. Explains MAC games committee bead, Jim Hazlett: "The sisht of the playoffs will depend on the four teams competing. Last year, we held them in Philadelphia, because the four teams involved were all from that locale. It's more or less a last minute decision." The winners of the MAC North-West and North-East Sections will tangle for the Northern Division championship on the 15th, and the South-West and South-East winners will do the same for the Southern Division title. Later that afternoon, the survivors will battle for the overall conference title. The NCAA regional selection committees will, by no later than Monday, May 17, choose no less than two, and no more than six teams to participate in each of the four NCAA Division III regional double-elimination tournaments. The four regions include the Northeast, Mideast, South, and West. Wilkes, and the rest of the Middle Atlantic Conference teams with the exception of Upsala, are in the Mideast. By May 17, Domzalski and the Colonels will know the names of the Mideast selection committee by heart; whether it be to curse their existence for overlooking them, or to praise them for recognizing an . outstanding team. They are: Jackson W. Rafeld, Mt. NetmenHope To Be Served Local Talent Union College, chairman; Robert Garbark, Alltigheny Colleg~; William Ber~ier, _Juniata; Robert Fisher, Baldwm-Wallace; and Bill Grice, Case Western Reserve University. In all probability, the committee will choose six teams. The NCAA handbook states, " regional selection committees shall have full authority to select and specify the number of teams to compete in the respective regional tournaments." Contrary to opinion, there are no automatic. qualifiers for the post-season event. Winning ~he ~C might aid Wilkes' chances of being selected, but it won t guarantee them. HISTORY HAS SHOWN that being on the selection committee is a great way to get your team into an NCAA · tourn8?1ent. Rafeld's Mt. Union team and Fisher's Baldwm-Wallace club both were ranked in the top ten two weeks ago by Collegiate Baseball magazine, so it would be safe to surmise that you will be seeing their names on the list of invitees. That leaves four openings. Sports By Chatter . Paul Domowitch There are 70 baseball-playing colleges in the Northeast region: 28 teams from Division two (mainly Pennsylvania), and 32 teams from Division four (mainly Ohio). Of the 28 teams in Division two, 18 of them are from the Middle Atlantic Conference. So, while winning the conference title isn't an automatic path to the regional event, it is as close as you can get to it. As we said before, the regional tournaments are double-elimin~tion affairs, and their respective sights are dependent on three factors: 1-the quality of the facilities; 2-the possibility of financial success there; and 3-the proximity of the sight to the competing teams. Since four or more of the teams will probably come from Ohio, it is also safe to ass~e that the Northeast regional site will be in the Buckeye state. The possibility of travel brings up another point - expenses to the schools. Fortunately however, there are J ittle, if any. The NCAA grants a school travel expenses (this includes travel and lodging at the tournament) for 25 persons. The travel expense cannot exceed commercial jet fare. While the respective schools will not be given the money prior to their trip, they will be completely reimbursed shortly thereafter. THE DATE OF the regional tournaments will not be set until the participating teams have been selected. But NCAA rules state that they must be completed by no later than Sunday, May 30. Then, the winners of the four regional tournaments will travel to Marietta, Ohio for the double-elimination championship round on June 4 5 and 6. ' ' NC~A E?',TRAS: The NCAA has sent out availability questionnaires to all baseball-playing member institutions. These questionnaires must be returned to the NCAA by no later than May 3. This questionnaire created quite a controversy on the Wilkes campus eight years ago. The Colonel football team, which was to reel off 32 straight victories in a five year span, went unbeaten in 1966. The team, the coaches, and the fans all awaited'an invitation to a post-season bowl game. But it never came. And a day after the teams were selected and Wilkes was not included, a local reporter_called up the NCAA office and !ound out the reason why they were overlooked. John Farley, the acting president of the college in 1968, but now deceased, had received an availability questionnaire before. the season started, an4 returned it with the reply that his school would not be interested in playing in a post-season bowl game. The students screamed for his scalp, and they should have gotten it. The availability questionnaire brings up another interesting point. The NCAA rules state that if you respond affirmatively on the questionnaire, then decline a playoff invitation and participate instead, in another tournament, you are ineligible to participate in the NCAA tournament for two years. Last year, when we talked to one of the members of the regional selection committee they told us Elizabethtown would have received ~ invitation, but they were not interested. Since Elizabethtown, who won the Middle Atlantic Conference title, played in the ECAC post-season classic last spring, ~nd they are indeed still eligible in the eyes of the NCAA, it would seem that they never had any intention in the first place, of play4lg in the NCAA tournament last year. The same will probably hold true once again this year. One 9-u~stion is plaguing us. While the NCAA explains that wmnmg the MAC has no bearing on selection will they wait until after the May 15 league playoffs to seiect a representative from District two? Probably.

If Gettysburg loses, and Wilkes wins the remainder of the MAC contestsincluding the season finale with Franklin & Marshall, the conference crown will go to the C9lonels. Reasoning? F&M would finish with two losses and be out of the race. Wilkes and Gettysburg would finish with one loss apiece, and despite the fact that the Colonels loss to Gettysburg, they would f.inish ahead of them, because the latter plays one less conference game than Wilkes. �i TheBeacon Pages April 29, 1976 Wilkes, E-townMay Clash Again r BY EARL MONK - COLONEL CLOUTS: the Colonels This Saturday marks the be- have hit 14 home runs in 13 games, ginning of what the Wilkes baseball led by Donny McDermott, who has team hopes will be a nwnber of six of them ...

" Con-troversy Marks CC Presidential .Election By Frank Baran · Dave Cherundolo was elected Commuter Council president last Thursday by a narrow margin in an election marked by controversy and disputed election regulations. Cherundolo defeated Walter Killian 90 to 88, but five disputed absentee ballots - all for KillicUI would have reversed the outcome if they were judged valid. In a distant third place was Bill Tironzelli with 19 votes. The controversy about the use of absentee ballots began developing last Wednesday, according to several sources. On that day, Killian found that several persons who wanted to vote for him would be unable to cast ballots during the scheduled 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. polling time. Also on that day, he learned of a precedent for casting absentee ballots in Commuter Council elections, he asserted. Precedents Found The precedent occured in an election for CC junior representatives a week earlier. At that time, CC representative Barry Pezzner informed CC President Jackie Pickering that he would be unable to cast his ballot during normal voting hours because of a rescheduled exam. According to Miss Pickering, she told Pezzner that he would be able to vote by "absentee ballot" if "it would be all right with Circle K." Apparently Circle K had no objections to the absentee ballots, as it wal? counted along with all other ballots in that election. And, as Circle K's election committee chairperson Sue Volovicz noted in a Beacon interview last Thursday, "Circle K only conducts elections: it does not write the regulations. That is up to the organizations." According fo Killian, Miss Pickering told him that he would be able to gather absentee ballots, as long as the ballots' form was acceptable to Circle K. Killian said he then contacted Jean Johnson. Circle K president, who, he says, outlined an acceptable form for the absentee ballot~. · By the time polls opened last Thursday, Killian collected five absentee baHots. On Wednesday evening, Killian was told by Miss Volovicz that she "was doubtful" of the validity of the committee chairman, Pezzner conabsentee ballots, but that if Miss vened in Hoover's office.

Tom Bazzini, a sophomore, explained that if a college established a grade appeal system, students would have the liberty to appeal what they considered an unfair grade before a board formed for that reason. Bazzini said he mentioned the idea of an appeal system · to some students who expressed their approval of such a plan. He said that professors whom he talked with disliked the idea because they . felt that it would cause hard feelings between faculty members (those on the board and those charged with issuing an unfair grade) or would become vindictive. According to Bazzini, the professors consider grading to be tough enough as it is without the fear that they would ,be called before a board . for II1aking a wrong decision in a border~in~. case. , Concern was also expressed over courses where the majority' of students fail the test. Steve Esrick, , a sophomore, questioned how ·deans followup such instances. Bradford Kinney of the English Dep~rtment, said, "If 80 per cent of the students are failing, there should be an avenue open where they could discuss it." ' Since it was the committee's final meeting of the semester, the issue will be included for discussion in the committee's first meeting next semester.

Members disagreed over the effectiveness of the committee. While some felt that the committee was bringing about improvements on the campus, others felt the committee did not accomplish much. Suggestions for next semester were : to move the meeting out of the academic atmosphere (it is now held in the parlor room of Weckesser' Hall), to recommend that each department have representatives on the committee · to make the committee more effective, and for Student Government to possibly write a position paper which shows the concerns of the students.

When he is performing on offense, Bob Taylor, another · freshman, rotates into the defensive lineup. , John Lack is a first year starter on the backline and Bill Harris is also a first year starter in the net. Harris had been the back-up goalie for Don Mock for the past two years and has come into his own this year with a boost in confidence, and has improved tremendously. Early in the year the Colonels had some trouble keeping the other team from the attack and couldn't seem to clear the ball to the offense consistantly. But the seasoned blend of experience and youth began to jell and they have been very tough to score on recently. An example of their improvement is reflected in the statistics of the last four games. They have permitted only 17 goals in that span and only seven of them were allowed by the starting defense. Meanwhile, the super-charged offense was scoring 68 goals. The Colonels started slow with two early season losses, including the near-fatal defeat at the hands of Gettysburg in a brutal game. But a key loss early in the campaign last I year did not prevent them from rebounding and capturing the title and they had hoped for the same thing to happen again this year.

Yet, the qesire and determination that characterized last year's squad was present, and despite tough odds, they are giving Gettysburg and,Franklin and What's Going On Here? I stood there on the rain-soake<J turf of Artillery Park in disbelief. John Reese couldn't have sai'd what I thought he said. It must be a dream, or better yet a nightmare. But it wasn't. The second game with Juniata-a game Wilkes has to win to tie Elizabethtown for the Middle Atlantic Conference North-West sectional crown, had just been postponed, and the subject at hand was the re-scheduling of that game. "WHEN ARE THEY going to be making it up?" I asked Reese. Probably Wednesday or Thursday," he answered. " It will be played here of course? " " No. Juniata said they might be willing to drive back if they had to, but it would be pretty expensive and time consuming for them, so we're going to look for a neutral sight-maybe Bucknell." ' THERE IT WAS again. Now I know I wasn't dreaming. He did say it. A neutral site. He wanted to play the game at a neutral site. The Middle Atlantic Conference title and a possible NCAA tournament invitation on the line, and John Reese was going to have the game played on a neutral field. Hell with the expenses.

But to take a home game as important as this, and play it somewhere out in the sticks on a field you've never seen befof e is the most ridiculous proposal since Gary Geischen volunteered to take over for. Nixon. And yet, it almost materialized. When everyone left Artillery Park Saturday afternoon, the idea was to call up Bucknell University, and see if their field was available for use sometime later in the w~ek. If it couldn't be procured, they would find another field somewhere between Wilkes-Barre and Huntingdon (forty miles on the other side of Penn State University), where Juniata is located. · IT WASN'T UNTIL hours later, when coach Gene Domzalski was sitting in the quiet confines of his home in Glen Lyon, that the shocking reality of the entire situation hit him . " I'll be damned if I'm going to have this game played anywhere but Artillery Park," he 'said to himself. "Our whole future is riding on the outcome of this game. Why in God's name should we play it anywhere else but right here? If they don't want to play ...fine, they '11 forfeit." And by Monday morning, that was the ultimatum layed down to a reluctant Bill Berrier, head coach of Juniata baseball So, he had no choice but to accept. It wasn't his decision. So, the game.will be played, at home, today, at 3 p.m. A decision that could have cheated 21 players out of the chance to · win a MAC Championship, and earn a NCAA tournament invitation, has been overruled.

He is currently leading the MAC in scoring and ranks in the top ten nationally with an average of almost seven points a game. He has garnered all the headlines and deservedly so, but the men of the defense deserve much of the credit for the Wilkes' team success. The chairman for the defense is senior tr-i-captain Fred Lohman. Coach Chuck Mattei regards him as perhaps the best fundamental defensive player that he has ever coached. A bona ffde All-MAC candidate, he has been a student for the past few years. PLAYING ON THE opposite side of the defensive front line is freshman Bernie Donachie.

Today's battle was originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, but a steady downpour forced . its postponement then, as well as an abrupt end to the first game after five and one-third innings (a complete game). With a 6-1 Middle Atlantic Conference record, coach Gene Domzalski's club need only win today to earn the right to play Elizabethtown for the MAC North-West sectional title. There is speculation that such a game would be played this Monday afternoon on the campus of Moravian College in Bethlehem, should it be necessary. JUNIOR ACE JIM Stehle (5-0) is slated to get the nod against Juniata, and Domzalski is hoping for 1µ1other fine performance from the big lefty. And a fine performance is what it will take to beat the Indians. A well-coached and fundamentally sound ballclub, Juniata sports a batting average of .312, despite a misleading losing record. The main problem for coach Bill Berrier's team this season has been the lack of strong pitching, with only one hurler sporting an earned run average under 3.00. So, although they have only one victory in seven league outings, they are capable of pulling . off the upset this afternoon, and anyone who witnessed Saturday's game will attest to that fact. Colonel southpaw Andy Kresky (4-1) shut Juniata out of two hits Saturday, but it wasn't all peaches and cream. They had men on second and third with one out in the fifth inning, before he pitched out of the jam, and an inning later, there were base runners on first and second with onlyone down, whem umpire "Tiger" Denoy called a halt to action because· of the steady precipitation. The Colonels scored in the second inning on Jim Michaels' RBI single, and added an unearned run in the third to seal the victory. Second baseman Dave Trethaway was the only Wilkes .player to manage more than one hit, coming through with a pair of singles to put him over the .300 plateau.

We know that his future performance will not only maintain Wilkes' excellent reputation, but will enhance it as the years go by." Capin, in becoming the president in the fifth decade of the college existence, was appointed acting president last September after Dr. Francis J. Michelini, who had served for five years, resigned to become president of the Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities in Harrisburg. It was in 1965 that Capin began combining his academic duties with administrative assignments at Wilkes College when he was named director of the Evening and Summer College. He served in this role for two years and began laying the foundation for the time when Wilkes would join , ?ther institutions of ~gh~r learning m an expanded Contmumg Education program that is a major part of college academic programs today.

Capin as third president of Wilkes College yesterday afternoon was a blast of fresh air to the administration, faculty and students of this college . Since September of 1975, when Capin was asked to take on the responsibility of acting president, along with his duties as dean of academic affairs, he has performed his duties in each position in the highest profes~ional way . We applaud vigorously the Presidential Search Committee the seven members of the Board of Trustees, Professor Welton G. Farrar, Professor Charles B. Reif, Professor Benjamin Fiester, and students Edward Zaborney and Debra Latero for their keen insight and constant deliberations in sifting through the 200 applications in search of a president. · Throughout his eight months as acting president, Capin has conducted himself in a way that has commanded respect and admiration from perhaps the majority of Wilkes College students. His distinct ability to assess certain situations with a sharp, open mind, we feel, will show in even greater proportions in the upcoming years as the college's ·chief administrative officer . His professional ability as a certified public accountant and as a businessman will guide Wilkes College through the financial storm that hovers over all of our nation's- colleges and universities. The position of president of this college was sought after by some 200 members of both the academic and professional world. The Board of Trustees, in the beginning, made clear that they were not placing sole emphasis on a candidate holding a doctorate degree, but rather an individual who had a strong background in financial, academic and community affairs, of which Capin tops the list in all three areas. Capin will have tough shoes to fill as the third president of this college, as he is preceded by two of the finest educators and human beings - the late Dr. Eugene S. Farley and Dr. Francis J. Michelini. We are certain, though, as we were in our first publication in September where we editorially supported Capin for the top spot, that he will lead Wilkes College into new and .challenging areas that will enhance to even a greater degree the prestige and reputation that this college already has . We feel that his appointment will bring even greater cheers from the surrounding community and the 9,000 alumni of this college. The BEACON congratulates the Board of Trustees and the Presidential Search Committee for the selection of a man whose abilities will expand Wilkes College in the collegiate world. To President Capin, our highest praise for being chosen as the third president of Wilkes College . Weekend Sched~e For Cherry Blossom Letters To The Editor S. U.B.

Dr. Eugene S. Farley served as president for 24 years after a IO-year term as president of Bucknell University Junior College. His successor, Dr. Francis J. Michelini, held the office for five years before accepting the presidency of the Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities, a position Dr. Farley also once held. Both men received doctorates from the University of Pennsylvania, published a number of pages in their particular fields, held various offices in community organizations, served as board members for several others, and both had three children. ., In addition, Drs. Farley and Michelini continually strived to expand the college's staff and facilities to meet the demanding challenges of the future. Dr. Farley, as the first president, planted the seeds of progress and worked to see those ideas take shape. Dr. Michelini continued in the same manner and had the added burden of pulling Wilkes through the devastating flood of 1972. But despite common goals and similar biographical points, the two former presidents remain distinct individuals. Born in Phoenixville, September 29, 1899, Dr. Farley was one of four children of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Farley. The Farleys were Quakers, and Dr. Farley was raised as a member of the Society of Friends with membership in the Swarthmore Meeting. A graduate of Swarthmore High School, he matriculated at Pennsylvania State College. During summer months, Dr. Farley was employed on farms and in a shipyard to earn money to continue his education. In 1921, he received a B.S. degree at Penn State, then entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1923. Aided by a Harrison Scholarship, he earned his M.A. degree in history in 1927 and a Ph.D. degree in education in 1933. A veteran of World War I, the former Wilkes College president taught at Germantown Academy from 1922-1925 and was a member of the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania from 1927-1929. He was director of research for the Newark, N.J. Board of Education until 1936. It was at this point that Arnaud Marts, then president of Bucknell University, invited Dr. Farley to become administrator head of Bucknell University Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. He was appointed president of Wilkes College when it received its charter as an independent, liberal arts college for both men and women on April 1, 1947. Only a handful of students were receiving their higher education in a four-story rented building. Through his efforts and dedication to the cause of education, today Wilkes College boasts of a 59-biillding complex on a campus embracing 23 Dr. Francis J.

"The final choices are weighed on these criteria, for this is the most equitable system we could come up with for our situation," the report says. Choices for sticker recipients are made by the full transportation committee, the report points out. Committee members in the fall are listed as Jackie Pickering, Ray Ostroski, and Len Shatkus. Members of the committee during the April allocation are Miss Pickering, Ostroski, and Sheila Kupinsky. "It was not a one-man decision," the report contends. The report also notes that recipients of stickers must file a registration form with the business office and abide by all parking regulations. Recipients must ensure that their stickers are visible on the driver's side of the dashboard or windshield. -An auto may be ticketed if the sticker is not properly displayed, the report warns. The report was submitted by Ostro_ski, committee chairman; ancl members Miss Kupinsky, Sharon Gillman, Shatkus, and Miss Pickering.

The decline of enrollment has left the instructors without tbe option of returning to their positions at the college for next year. William Weber is the director of the Concert Band.

"As far as major accomplishments, we didn't accomplish anything because the school is in the process of changing to a new president." It is definitely true that SG can't boast of many note worthy accomlishments, and the excuse given by Zaborney does cover several proposals which never survived the lengthy process needed for approval (SG to Dean's Council to President's Council to the Board of Trustees), but by no means is the college administration entirely to blame. SG itself had a number of problems which proved harmful to the body and its effectiveness. During discussion of an issue recently, Gina O'Brien, ne~ SG president, inquired, "Does SG want to do anything about it, or was it just brought up for discussion?" That states the problem very nicely. SG did a lot of discussing this year and very little doing. Tuesday nights were great rap sessions, but that's about all they were. It seems that many members were content to dis- cuss an issue and then promptly forget it, if they bothered to discuss it at all. For apathy, that,deadly disease which strikes a large percentage of the student body, appears to be contagious. However, it's only being completely fair to note that a great deal of time is required from all members in order for an organization to ' be effective, and time is usually something many college students, especially those instudent government, do not have. Student government can easily become a full-time job, as can many other activities. But surely SG members knew this before they entered the election. While this year's SG would probably prefer to be remembered for , its bright moments, it will likely be · doomed to be remembered for its failures and ineffecµveness . It's true that most news is usually bad news, and in this sense SG often . made good copy. · Its disastrous concert management led to a $7,000 bill for damages, a possible court case which may return to haunt next year's body, and the possibility that concerts will not be held on this campus for a long t~e. Even its advisor pointed his finger at SG for that incident, stating that the body had adopted a "laissez· s N c.

Monday seemed to be a most unfitting conclusion to the 1976 Wilkes College baseball season. A season that had been so successful and so promising, was shot down in Bethlehem, by Elizabethtown 8-1. · . The ace of the Colonel staff, Jim Stehle (6-1), had the one and only bad game of the year, but unfortunately, it came against a team that thrives on opposition mistakes. The loss ended coach Gene Domzalski's club's quest for a Middle Atlantic Conference North-West Section title, and a berth in Saturday's league playoffs. Stehle walked 11 and hit one batter, while allowing six runs in four innings of work. Meanwhile, Blue Jay ace Carmen Coppal, relaxed with a 6-0 lead, just rared back and breezed through to his 23rd straight victory, and second this year over the Wilkesmen. Coppol wasn't overpowering, but good fielding backed up the New York Met draftee, and the Colonels didn't score a run until Donny McDermott drove home Lou Elefante from second in the ninth inning. So, the title hopes of the Wilkes diamondmen are over, save for a million to one shot at an NCAA tournament invitation. And a millin to one is all they are. A season that saw Wilkes roll to an 18-4 record, ended Tuesday in the doubleheader with Scranton. ' It was a season that saw Steve Leskiw and McDermott smash more home runs than any Colonel Jo history. It was a season that once again saw Wilkes hit for an average well above .300, and it was a season that saw a Wilkes pitching staff hold down an earned run average of under 2.00. For seniors Tony Schwab, Greg Snyder, Dave Trethaway, Jack Keller, and Leskiw, their careers in collegiate baseball have come to end. In the four years that they wore a Blue and Gold uniform, the club accumulated a 53-19 record, including this season's fine 18-4 mark, and last year's 14-4 finish. Keller's career ended three games early in ·pam, as the topnotch backstop suffered his second broken jaw in as many years. It ended bleakly Monday afternoon for the whole team, but the Colonels can stand tall. As Domzalski said two months ago before it all began, "this is a gteat bunch of guy's I've got here, and no matter what happens, I'm proud of them."

Charles Berlitz Charles Berlitz, author of the best welling book "The Bermuda Triangle," will review many astonishing details connected with that area of sea Thursday, September 9 in the Center for the Performing Arts at 8 P.M. The lecture is the first in a series of concerts and lectures to be offered throughout the year. Using slides, charts and other visual aids, Berlitz will lecture on the bizarre, believe-it-or-not happe-nings and continuing disappearances occurring in the stretch of sea extending roughly from Bermuda in the north to Miami and beyond Puerto Rico on the south. Since 1949, at least 1,000 people and 100 ships and airplanes have vanished in the " triangle" with baffling reports dating back to the time of Columbus. Berlitz estimates a bout one ship disappears each week and an airplane disappears once every two weeks. Some of the more notable disappearances include a Although he does not claim to have solved the mystery, the noted author does offer a few theories. He believes that a powerful magnetic force, either produced naturally by the earth or artificially by alien beings, may explain the compass disorientation, gyroscope failure , and enveloping clouds repor ted in that area. He also suggests that passing planes and ships may trigger powerful energy sources produced long by an ancient civilization that' sank to the bottom of the sea. Another theory cited by Berlitz is that an advanced race of beings living deep in the earth may be causing the mischief. Even though the U.S. Navy does not officially recognize the area as a danger zone and the U.S. Coast Guard is convinced that "the majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area's unique environmental feature," Berlitz claims that some of his most avid fans are Army and Navy vets who had personal knowledge of such disappearances but had been ordered to keep silent. He described the situation . as -a "cnsmir Watergate. " Charles Berlitz is the author of several books including "Atlantis" and "Mysteries from Forgotten Worlds." He is an accomplished linguist speaking 25 or more languages and is also an expert scuba diver. He utilized · his scuba diving talent in researching his books, examining first hand many of the strange ruins of lost civilizations as well as The Bermuda Triangle from beneath the sea . is knowte<!@able in Chinese, Korean, French and German. His education is centered around the political science-history area, concentrating on countries in the Far East. The selection committee that recommended Dr. Soter's appointment was formed in early June, and had the task of screening almost 85 applicants who answered an advertisement placed by the college. The list was narrowed down to six people, including one woman. Following interviews with each applicant, the committee members individually ranked the remaining candidates, and Dr. Soter was established as the choice of the majority.

He stated that one reason he sought the position at Wilkes was because of his desire to work with a smaller college in a more intimate atmosphere.

Respectfully submitted, The Publicity and Election Committee of 1976-77 ART SHOW - Featured in the Sordoni Art Gallery until tomorrow, September 3, is the work of Bruno Lucchesi. This artist mostly portrays, with considerable humor and a great sense of a spontaneity, women of all ages who are caught off-guard in a variety of daily activities and un-selfconscious poses. His work has the discipline of painstaking craftsmanship, but also has a sense of freedom that defies the limits of conventional methods of sculpturing. The exhibit is being displayed in cooperation with the Forum Gallery, New York, and may be viewed daily from 1 to 5 p. m. Sorer from page 1 matters as the grading system and final exams, the new dean indicated that any reasonab!e request by students would be considered by both himself and the faculty. The father of four children also noted that his door is open to anyone, and he would welcome students coming in to his office, especially in the late afternoon " when the phone stops ringing." As a final note he observed that colleges are "really fun places," and he enjoys being with students all the time. " It makes you susceptible to change," he said, "and also allows you to see the necessity for change." -0- PIZZA COSENZA -Now Under New Management84 So. Main St., 1 Block From The College Featuring Pizza Of All Kinds Made Fresh Daily Commuters Find Aid For Parking Pains Since parking space on the campus is so limited, most commuters are anxious to obtain parking permits for the semester. According to David Ney, chairman of the Commuter Council parking committee , about 500 students applied for the parking permits, but about only 63 spaces are available. He said that first consideration for the permits was given to the disabled, next to those in carpools, and finally to those travelling long singular distances. Parrish Hall, Temple Israel lot, Gore Hall, and Wright Street are the sites for t~e student parking. He added that it is not yet determined exactly how many parking spaces are available, but by next Friday all permits should be finally distributed. This year $1 fee is required for the stickers. Students may pick up their stickers at the bookstore. For those who are not eligible for the permits, Commuter Council has another solution. Students may purchase Park and Lock stickers for a reduced rate of $10 a month. The stickers are sold the last week of the month. Commuters may also save by riding the bus: Bus tokens can be obtained in the bookstore for $12 a roll for one zone and $16 a roll for two zones. There are 50 tokens in a roll, with a 20 percent savings for those travelling the one zone. NOTICE The Beacon will not publish next Thursday due to the holiday weekend.

L, S.G. - To Be Or Not To Be ~r The beginning of a new academic year, like the beginnings 8e of most ventures, is filled with questions of various sizes and degrees of importance. What changes will the college see this year? What personal experiences will we have to face? What do we hope to 8 accomplish both academically and socially? How successful ~ will student organizations be? :Q These are just a few of the many questions that may be ~ going through our heads. Club and class officers have spent _, time thinking about the last one, and hopefully have come up with some specific answers. Worthy organizations tend to set goals which exceed those of the previous year, and it can be presumed that the pattern will continue this year. But simply setting goals and even devising ways to reach them does not assure their realization. The optimism and enthusiasm of the summer all too often turn into disgust and frustration in the fall. Things just don't go according to plan. Obstacles suddenly appear where only a clear path was once seen. The ideas that seemed so important just a few months ago appear very small when we have to cram for a test. The ~thy of the faculty and our fellow students is a very .discouraging and paiqtul experience. Even the members of our own organization can hurt the effectiveness and aspirations of the group. Every club, class, and organization faces problems like these, in addition to others which are even more unexpected. For the most part, these groups will be able to work out their problems, or perhaps give in to the pressures , in relative privacy. Not so with student government, a~d to a lesser extent, commuter council and inter-dormitory council. As three of the most powerful and influential groups on campus, these organizations are in the spotlight more often than most. Again this year they will receive a great deal of attention from the student body, administration, and this paper. Student government, as the representative body of all students, will be the most closely observed. It has more potential power and influence than almost any other campus organization. It can do much good, (or harm) or it can simply stagnate ·and make excuses for its ineffectiveness. Last year a popular excuse used to rationalize many failures was the claim that activity was hampered by the lack of a full-time president and an academic dean. This year that excuse is neither valid nor acceptable. The college is in a position to move ahead in a positive way without hesitation. Hopefully the college, student government, other campus organizations, and the student body itself will be able, and more importantly, willing to move ahead this year. ~ 8 New Dean Soter: 'Able And Candid In his first appearance before a student group, Dr. Richard Soter, new academic dean, displayed an adept ability to handle the duties of an administrator fairly and candidly. Invited by Student Government to introduce himself during its first meeting Monday night, Dr. Soter appeared to be not only . friendly, but genuinely interes'ted as well, remaining to observe the entire meeting. The new dean commented candidly on .a n academic committee proposal regarding pre-final week testing, perceiving the situation of the students as well as the faculty. He agreed that in most cases tests can avoid being scheduled on the Friday before exam week. He pointed out, however, that term paper assignments due during that last week shouldn't create a problem since the student can gear himself to complete the assignment ahead of time. When the academic committee expressed a desire to obtain grade statistics to be used in a study, Dr. Soter readily gave his approval to release such information if it was available in the registrar's office. Later in the meeting, the academic official joined in the discusl?ion, lending a point of view which shed some light on the situation and gave additional proof of his interest. No administrator, faculty member, or student leader is gQing to make decisions that will be viewed favorably by the entire student body. There are administrators, however, who can make favorable decisions for the student body, and Dr. Richard Soter appears to be one of these administrators.

Attending classes and studying are certainly important parts but not the only ones. A student needs a social outlet, an activity, a chance to get involved. Today has been designated as club orientation day on campus. The grounds between the Commons and Chase and Kirby Halls will be clamoring with activity as various clubs and organizations set up stands in order to attract new members. For the freshmen NOW is the time to get involved to become an active part of life at Wilkes. This is also an opportunity for upperclassmen to join. It's never too late to take up a new interest or activity; Those who complain about student apathy and the lack of activity on campus are most often the ones who sit back and merely complain instead of working for change. Your college' years are what you make of them. And those who participate in a club or activity are the ones who will have much more than merely classroom drudgery.

By Mary Ellen Alu Just a few short months ago, the new housing director at · Wilkes traveled . the campus as a student, experiencing some of the . many problems and joys that students normally face. But the 21-year-old administrator graduated cum laude from Wilkes in May with a double major degree in biology and psychology, and now he is viewing the college from a new perspective. Joseph Marchetti, a dormitory student turned housing director, will be contending with different tasks and greater responsibilities. He plans to do much for the college as he regulates dorm life and helps to make dorm living enjoyable and comfortable for the students. "' According to Marchetti, he will be in charge of accommodating about 824 students and directing 38 resident assistants. " Directing housing encompasses everything, " said Marchetti, "from handling room assignments, to performing maintenance duties, to enforcing housing policies. " When he was a Wilkes dorm student, Marchetti distinguished Neil Diamond's Latest Release Offers Variety 'This album is a series of recollections ... seen through the eyes of a , young songwriter: making his way through the streets of New York City's tin pan alley in the early 1960's. "It is made up of people, places and events from a period which some have called a renaissance of the American spirit, others, the beginnings of a new age of decadence. "Whatever history calls it, the early sixties opened the door to a new wave of consciousness for most of those who passed through its beautiful but noisy portals," commented Neil Diamond on the record jacket for his new albun,, "Beautiful Noise." "Beautiful Noise" shows the versatility of Neil Diamond as a songwriter and performer. The album's eleven songs are very different from each other, incorporating many musical styles from the Dixieland of "Stargazer" to the Calypso of "Don't Think-Feel." To achieve these different styles, Diamond uses a variety of instruments and vocal accompaniments. The result is an album which appeals to the quieter moments of life. The radio hit "If You Know What I Mean" is included in this latest Diamond release. Compared to the trend of disco music which has been flooding the market with some nonsense lyrics, "Beautiful Noise" shows Diamond's sensitivity to life in all the words. The experience he gained in earlier years is reflected in the advice of his songs. This album is perfect for background music. The words may tend to lose much of their meaning if pl~yed as "party music." THE WIZARD OF WAZ. On Turning 21 Joe Marchetti himself.

It is going to be a long semester, but it also should be exciting and interesting. After all, this is the beginning of a new year for all of us whether it is the first time at college or the start of our second, third or fourth years. Each year represents a new adventure for everyone. No two years are ever the same. College life is constantly changing. College is made up of many different facets. We learn through experience how to mix these many parts for our own happiness and self-contentment. College is a time for maturing and deciding what to do with our life ahead of us. However, college · is also fun and just plain "goofing around.'' These four years are perhaps the best years of our lives. And we must do all possible to see that college is an enjoyable experience for ourselves and others we meet along the way. At times it may seem like we can't handle the pressures, but we can. Learning now will help when we come up against the pressures and tensions of the "real working world.'' It isn't going to be easy when our college career is over. Our success will depend upon the maturity and determination we gained here. We all have a long way to go before the end of the semester and before we reach our goals. Let's continue to work hard to make ·our college years successful, but let's not forget to enjoy these times as well. 22: There must be a law.

Fahmy and 24 other faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduate students toured Egypt with the purpose of using that country as a case study of culture, education, economics and politics in the middle East. The five major accomplishments of the trip according to Fahmy, are ( 1) the development of an awareness among one cultural group of the differences of people living in another cultural group, (2) a good understanding of the problems of developing'nations in terms of population, education and economics, ( 3) an improved cognitive level of knowledge in terms of other cultures, ( 4) improved attitudes toward other peoples and cultures and (5) the opening of a good starting point for an international education program at Wilkes. Before leaving Wilkes, the _p_articipants were involved in a two week general orientation program. "During this phase of the course," Fahmy said, "they were prepared for cultural shock by being familiarized with the major features of Egyptian culture, such as religion, status of women, economic situation, transportation and food." Also during the orientation session, the group was lectured by Dr. Azzan, cultural minister of the Egyptian embassy in Washington, D.C. The group was also received by Dr. Ghorbal, Egyptian ambassador to the U.S., at his Washington, D.C. home. The morale of the group was always very high during the trip, according to Fahmy. The group arrived in Cairo on July 9 and was introduced to the Egyptian system of education by lectures and visitations at the School of Education. The group also visited the police academy, the site of an extensive national education program for police preparation. While there, they were officially received and were presented with the shield of the police academy. i:-.i~ ] e =- While in Cairo, the Wilkes travelers were the guests of the Egyptian parliament, educational and scfentific research committee and the foreign relations committee. · "The major point" of lectures given by representatives of those committees, according to Fahmy," was that Egyptian society is an open society in which the emphasis is on promoting the standard of living of the people." Also, said Fahmy, "we were reminded to carry with us the goodwill of the Egyptian government and parliament to the American people and government.'' Also toured near Cairo were the pyramids, temples and other ancient cultural sites of Egypt. The entourage was entertained by the parliament at the Minahouse-Obrois Hotel, near the pyramids of Giza. During the dinner reception, the guests were treated to a large cake with 20 candles, each representing ten years, to •commemorate the 200 · anniversary of the U.S. "It was really moving," said Fahmy. "The guests and everyone in the hotel sang happy birthday to America." After the celebration, Dr. Fahmy gave a speech thanking the Egyptian parliament, government and people and promised to convey the goodwill to the people in Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes College. Another highlight of the trip came when Fahmy, representing the Wilkes group, was interviewed by the Egyptian Broadcasting Corporation, which includes both radio and television. A field trip to Suez City enabled the group to sail in motor boats through the Suez Canal and the G:tlf of Suez. After being entertained by the governor of Suez and the head of police at an official lunch, the travelers were shown the reconstruction of the city and the building pf new cities nearby to accommodate the return of citizens who left the area during the 1973 war. Also in the area of Suez City, the group was shown the dredging project for the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal and the beginning of the construction of a pipeline from Suez to Alexandria which will carry Januzzi's Pizza .and Hoagies 125 Academy Street Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy (first row, fifth from right> and other participants -in this summer's educational tour of Egypt as they met with the Governor of Aswan Province (first row, fourth from right). crude oil from the Persian Gulf states. After seeing Cairo and the Suez, the group left for Aswan, in upper Egypt. While there, the group toured the Kima Co., Egypt's largest chemical fertilizer factory, which produces more than 90 percent of Egypt's need for chemical fertilizer. A lecture by the head of the High Dam Authority was featured during a tour of the Aswan High Dam. "All of us were impressed by the efficiency of the dam," said Fahmy. The group also visited the huge, artificial lake Nasser which lies behind the dam, and saw the temple of Abu-Somble, which had been moved from the waters of the Nile to higher ground. An excursion to Luxor, the old city of Thebes, enabled the group to tour the temples of Luxor and Kranak, a modern museum, and the valley of kings and queens. Among the valley's many notable tombs was that of the famous King Tut. " It was a very fantastic opportunity," said Fahmy. "They are well preserved." While traveling to Alexandria by the agricultural road, the group saw the fertile lands of the Nile and the working activities of Egyptian peasants. In Alexandria , the group witnessed what remains of the influence of Greek and Roman cultures on Egypt at such sites as the Roman Open Theater and the Ptolemic Pillar. As guests of the Egyptian Company for Modern Performing Arts, the Wilkes representatives attended an evening performance of colorful dancing. After attending lectures on the problems and prospects of education in Egypt at Alexandria University, the group was received by the university chancellor, the deans of the colleges, representatives of the faculty, and students. Among the most enjoyable and memorable events of the trip for Dr. Fahmy was when he visited his mother and father in Alexandria. Fahmy and the Wilkes group also attended the wedding of one of his nephews in the King Farouk palace. Fahmy also visited with his brother Dr. Sayed Fahmy, the Egyptian Minister of the Interior. When they returned to Cairo, the travelers were entertained at a big party in the prime ministers headquarters and were received by Prime Minister Mamdouh Salem. Probably the most impressive part of the tour, according to Fahmy, was a trip to the land reclamation project, which is changing thousands of acres of land from desert to agricultural use. "Most of the group were very moved," said Fahmy. " They kept asking what they Writer In Residence Postponed Until Spring The English Department has not appointed a writer-inresidence for this semester as had been expected.

The Egyptian officials and public were extremely hospitable and friendly," said F ahmy. "They were very interested in cultural exchange and they emphasized promoting a cultural relationship between our countries." Although the trip to Egypt is over, it is not the end of the Cultural Foundations of Education in the Middle East course. It was just the beginning, according to Fahmy.

That which Paul Domowitch handled so effortlessly was all of a sudden -0rreof the biggest challenges of my life. I have many journalistic liabilities, one of which might be my willingness to admit them. Others are my inexperience, my lack of technical knowledge, and my baby face (not necessarily in that order). With all of those miscellaneous negatives stacked against me, I started wondering why I even got involved in the whole mess to begin with. It didn't take long to remember. Naturally, 1t all started when I was young. Ah, the dreams of youth. I can easily recall the many lazy afternoons in the fall that violently erupted into crazed, frenzied motion. The scene was Ralston Field and the subject was the Colonel football team. The squad was in the midst of the famous 30 game win streak. They always seemed to be losing with two minutes left in the game, until Joe Wiendel would return a punt 75 yards for the game winning touchdown or Joe Zakowski would heave a bomb 60 yards in the air And Joe Skavarla would make a diving catch in the endzonefor the score or Brinley Varchol would block an opponents despiration pass or any one of the seemingly endless miracles that they always had up their sleeves.

Is this really me who is sitting in this wonderfully stuffy office in Shawnee Hall? Is this really me who is squirming on this marvelously uncomfortable chair for what seems like eternity? Is this really me who is sweating blood over what to say next? Is this really me who is the Sports Editor for the Beacon? It's like a dream and I'm going to wakx up and my typewriter will have turned into a pile of children's blocks. It's the classic love-hate syndrome. AO When I was initially informed of my appointment, I was estatically happy. Then they started to enumerate my duties. What a humbler ! I came down to earth rather quickly. They started with-interviewing, writing, and Wilkes life was going down on the field with my dad to visit with Ed Burke, one of the star lineman on that championship squad. Burkes were a friend of the family so my dad knew him and would always congratulate him on yeg another victory. Then it happened; one day while I was staring into Ed :Qurke's knees he gave me his chin-guard. HE GAVE ME HIS CHIN GUARD! Three days later after I came down to earth, I polished it. God, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever owned! Whenever I went onto the field, I woudl always stomp once on one of the chalk marks so that when I went home my friends could see the lime on my sneakers. We would get pick-up games in my backyard and I would always pretend that I was Ted Yeager because my father always told me that I could be both small and athletically talented just like Ted. 1 My dad is a tremendous human being. He gave me the gift that so many people don't give anymore; his time. We'd head off into the sunset, following Wilkes teams, even when they were on the road. His arm around my shoulders was the greatest feeling a kid can ever possibly imagine. Communication is truly a gift. A gift that my dad has mastered. Wj]kes athletics have always been a big part of my life. Witnessing them with my dad made them even more important. The opportunity to communicate with you about Wilkes sports is a golden one and I'm thrilled to death for the chance to share my thoughts with you. I would like to dedicate this column to my dad, without whom I would be a much poorer human being. Thank§_, Dad.

The j college has added an athletic E-< trainer to its already capable sports staff. Mike Aed is a long overdue joy. Mike Aed is the first full-time athletic trainer in Wilkes history. His addition will greatly decrease the burdens of all of the athletic coaches at the school:" " Care and prevention of athletic injuries is my primary and most important duty," says Mike. " In fact it is my only duty, but it's a bit more complicated than it sounds." "My job is to, first of all, try to __pr.event injuries from happening in the first place. This entails taping joints and keeping records of individual athletes and their past medical history. If I can somehow prevent an athlete from getting injured, naturally the team will be better off." But, alas and alack, injuries do occur in the heat of athletic battle . Mike is trained fo r emergency situations and is what he termed " a cross between a medical technician and a pa ramedic." " The sports' world is a violent one and players do occasionally get hurt. No one likes to see it, but when it happens the athlete knows he'll be getting good care. " The other aspect of Mike Aed's job is the all-important and sometimes ticklish one of when to return a player to action. Therapy and rehabilitation are crucial to both health and athletics. The longer a player is out of action, the more detrimental it is to the team's well-being. What also has to be considered is the individual's health and whether he is capable of performing or not. The possibility of permanent damage is too great of a risk to be taken lightly. The wrong decision on an athlete's fitness can meet with tragic results. " I believe that we have the finest group of runners ever assembled at Wilkes College," said George Pawlush, Wilkes cross country coach last September. Exactly a year later he is saying the same thing about the prospects of having a 'successful cross country season this year. If you just happened to forget last season's results you are probably better off than if you remember them. There wasn't much happening that merited remembrance and since Pawlush is saying the same thing in preseason this year that he did last year, you are probably thinking that we are in for another extremely long season. / Well, hopefully, that reasoning won't be altogether correct. Last fall, the Colonels did just that as they fell to a rather dismal 1-12 record. What had started as being a promising season ended with only a few jll'i i i, Mike is very much capable of making that crucial decision and many more like it: He is a gra duate of Lock Haven State College with a B.S. degree in Health and Physical Education. He ha.s..his Masters in Education from Albany State University in New York. He also has attended more training clinics than you can count and has over 1800 apprentice hours under his belt. He will be working very closely with Dr . Gordon Earles of Kingston, the school doctor. " I'm not a doctor so when something drastic happens, I treat the emergency and send for Dr. .Earles, " says Mike realistically. He has set up training rooms in both the Wilkes gymnasium on Franklin Street and at the Robert J . McBride Fieldhouse at the Ralston Field Complex in Edwardsville. Young By Jeff Acornley ., \ '"0, ~ !. GIVING AED Sports Information Director George Pawlush said, "Getting an athletic trainer ·at Wilkes is a very significant move. It can only help our sports program. It is a long overdue addition." Colonel football mentor Rollie Schmidt giggled, " I'm tickled pink to have Mike on our staff. It helps every intercollegiate sport at Wilkes. " Schmidt stated, " The coaches used to take care of all of the training needs of the teams. This consequently took a coaches ' valuable time away from spending it on the field with the technical aspects of the game." "It was a waste of the coaches' already sparse time when he had Harriers people even remammg on the squad. Decimated by injuries and dissention, the team was lucky to even survive the schedule. But, never-the-less, a realistic flicker of hope has been r ekindled among the harriers. New blood has been brought in. All of last season problems have been pushed aside and forgotten as the Colonels welcome the largest Leadership Figure Steve Standiford Waiter Killian to take care of medicine as well as coach. Now that we have a trainer, the coach can coach and the trainer can train," ·added Schmidt. La st year Mike was at Lycoming College in Williamsport. They were per:enial losers in football, but last year they went 6-2, a drastic improvement over the past seasons. Now, this is not to infer that the improvement was completely due to Mik:e-but1Tis1mi·serrce-was felt·on the Lycoming gridiron.

For Prep crop of freshmen runners in Wilkes cross country history. " I have so many young runners competing for a berth on the squad this year that I'm going to have to revamp my training procedures to handle them all," said the obviously delighted Pawlush. " It's a wonderful problem that we 've never had before." The underclassmen should provide a firm foundation to build upon for the future. Close competition for the top seven spots will see a dogfight among the likes of sophomore returnee Jeff Davis, junior cocaptain Steve Standiford, and junior college transfer Dan Rittenhouse. Joining these veterans in the struggle for the top will be blue chip freshmen · Dave Boris, Roger Davis, Vince D'Amato and Don Patrick.

Coach George Pawlush thinks they can. They will be getting their first taste of competition this Saturday when they compete in the Cliff Robbins Memorial Run at Kirby Park in Kingston. No team scores will be kept but they will be running as an individual for prizes.

The progra_m, under the direction of Dr. James Rodechko, is run in cooperation with Action, an independent government agency, and provides students with the valuable job experience that employers are looking for. Not only will the students · receive academic credit for the work they accomplish in a public service agency, but at the same time they will be prepared for public service careers and will be helped to deal with community problems in a practical manner. Placement opportunities allowed these students to develop either a new area of interest or to enhance existing career objectives. During this one-year period of public service, the students will participate in a weekly seminar, be responsible for a research project dealing with some aspect of his agency experience, and achieve reasonable comprehension of a list of readings related to public service. Mark Jacobs, who has been working with the Wilkes:Barre City Department of Planning anCY Devel9pment since August 16, expressed his approval of the Community Service Program: "I really feel it's a good program," he said, "for it gives you good insight into the different areas of the agency you're working with. "You're putting everything you learn in school to work and you are also gaining responsibility. I recommend the program to anybody." Sharon Sprechini has been working with Volunteers of America since the end of June, and she too is happy with the program. "I'm learning more' about myself and how I am when working with others," she said. "It's better than attending classes." Upon completing the service year, the students will be awarded 30 credit hours under the title "Community Service." The hours will fulfill elective requirements for regular degree programs at the college. The 30 credit hours, along with an additional 12 hours of course work in the social sciences or other fields, will also apply toward a second major in Community Service. Live television is coming to Wilkes as yet another aspect of the Wilkes-Hahnemann family medicine program. Students in the final phase of the six-year program will be able to observe and even participate in classes conducted at Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia while they are involved with clinical training in this area. The closed circuit television network will include opportunities for two-way live interaction between the two areas in order to simulate an actual classroom situation as closely as possible. In-service training programs, "grand rounds," patient education and medical conferences and seminars will be transmitted to Stark Learning Center and also to centers in participating area hospitals. In this way, WilkesHahnemann students in the clinical training phase will find , that the area medical faculty members who are tutoring them will be able to devote more time 1 (continued on page 3) A tternpted Rape Causes Concern The attempted rape of a female former dorm student last Saturday night prompted heavy discussion at a well-attended Inter-Dormitory Council meeting Sunday night.

A suggestion was also made to have a self defense course taught to female students. Representatives will poll their dorms to get reaction to the suggestion. A fight which occurred outside Bedford Hall involving six men not associated with the college was also discussed. The college will prosecute the.men, who were· drunk and armed with a knife, for trespassing.

A new president, a new dean of academic affairs, and a new housing director seem to be causing a flurry of anxious anticipation among the students. Rumors have been rampid about the new organization of the housing office. However, students seem to be satisfied with the organization Joe Marchetti has instilled, something that has been missing from the housing office for many years. Marchetti has been the brunt of a large share of the popula'r rumors · about campus, picturing Marchetti as everything from a two-headed ogre to "Casper the Friendly Ghost" - equipped witha gift of transparency through walls, as the story goes. The new housing director has fought for the students' cause on more than one occation, and deserves the respect and friendship of the students he has gone to bat for . Dr. Richard Soter, the new dean of academic affairs, has left his position open. Students are curious as to what changes in the field of academics this man will advocate having come from a different college with an impressive background. And finally what changes will or has President Capin made in the Wilkes College scene. Capin has been charged with everything from instilling prohibition on the Wilkes .campus to advocating '4he opening of the new bar in the Student Union Basement. Students are somewhat vague on the principles the new president stands for. They respect his opendoor policy and his general availability, but have received no concrete positions. Capin seems to be the besf man for the job as president nere at Wilkes, having come up through the ranks and viewed the administration from all perspectives - a student, faculty member, dean and finally president. The question that is besetting the students is: will this diverse view strengthen the president's position here at Wilkes or be lost in the web of committees now so vogue on the Wilkes campus? CC Hears Taps f Journalism Organization Invites New Members Wilkes College Journalism Society, dedicated to the promotion of journalism and communicat~ons on campus, began its second year as an organization this fall. Open to anyone interested in the field of journalism, · the society has already begun developing plans for a workshop for high school journalists, a lecture or forwn devoted to journalism, and the initiation of new members into Sigma Delta Chi, the society of professional journalists.

Commuter Council, at one time supported by enthusiastic commuting students, is beginning to sound a death rattle. At the council's first meeting last Thursday, a mere six representatives out of 18 were in attendance. The meeting had only a very faint spark of life.

Written by George Bernard Shaw, the play is a comedy satirising war and the military. It will be presented October 7th through 10th in the Center for the Performing Arts. A professional actor Stutts, is guest resident director for the first production of the season. Asked by the Administration and the Theatre Department, Stutts is the first director-inresidence at Wilkes. According to the actor, Wilkes is the first college in P ennsylvania to establish such a position. Stutts thinks this iS' an "innovative program" and "marvelous" experience for students. "It gives students the chance to work with someone who makes a living in the theatre," stated Stutts. The gray-haired actor, who looks older than his twenty-seven years, has warm feelings about Wilkes. In some ways, it reminds him of his undergraduate days at the Univer sity of Alabama . Wilkes has "a big heart with small town ideas. " Stutts has been at Wilkes three times in the last two years to present his one-man show on Mark Twain. This year he will give his one-man show of Edgar Allan Poe on Monday, October 11, the night after the close of "The Arms and the Man" . · In addition to Twain and Poe, Stutts does one-man shows of Lord Byron, Oscar Wilde and Wilkes Wildlife Sanctuary time. · · John Barrymore. For these shows, Stutts becomes the char acter with the help of props, costumes and scenery. He also adopts the character's mannerisms, dialect and original thoughts, writings and ideas, which requires hours of research. Twain has been his " niost popular " role, because he is adaptable to many present-day problems and situations. This month will mark the eighth consecutive year Stutts has done his Twain show. The one-man · show about Poe took three months to write, according to Stutts. That show was written by the Alabama born Full House Mystified By Berniuda Triangle By Lisa Waznik T!)e first presentation in this year 's Concert and Lecture Series was both informative and mystifying as Charles Berlitz, ' author of "The Bermuda Triangle ", thrilled the overflowing audience last Thursday night, September 9.

Berlitz also estimated a ship per week and an airplane every two weeks vanish in the triangle. The latest being the ship a week prior to the lectur~on September 2. The author's book and other publicity about the mysterious area have caused thousands of people to write to him and share their exptriences.

Berlitz concluded his presentation with an informal question and answer· period. actor with. a friend doing the revision. Since the scripts require plenty of research, Stutts now looks for people to write his shows. When asked about bis favorite character, Stutts said he likes best the one he is doing at the time, but his favorite is John Barrymore. " Maybe that 's because I'd like to be John Barrymore. " Stutts has done a few movies and television roles, but he prefers the live stage. One of his most recent roles in a movie was in "The Front Page. " , Stutts described his part as "one of the cops, standing · on the running board during the big chase-.gcene, · who got a close-up."

This time, though, Stutts will play the lead role in either " Edward 11" or Shakespeare's " Hamlet. " In general , the resident director is impressed with Wilkes. "I'm optimistic" and " don;t anticipate any problems" are orlly few of his statements about the upcoming production. Stutts said he found the theatre staff prepared and they had taken care of the details inv;olved in doingl a show. He also 'commented on the interaction of the college and the community, which he felt was very good. Rehear sals for the production started on Monday. Stutts said he would be residing in WilkesBarre two weeks before the . performances. Right now, he will be flying b;ack and forth between Wilkes-Barre and his homes in New York City and Philadelphia.

Sacred Ivy League. . . The hallowed halls of those revered institutions bursting with knowledge. Wilkes College from the Northern Division of the MAC ... Well, look at it this way, we each have our place. Last Friday, the Wilkes College football team travelled to the campus of Princeton University in New Jersey. The purpose was to participate in a football scrimmage with those intellectual beasts called the Princeton Tigers. The Colonel convoy burst into Princeton, determined to take the town by storm. But after a few wrong turns and the bus driver shaking his head and muttering, "Rollie, are you sure we are in the right state?" the team finally found the stadium. Undaunted, they unloaded the bus and waltzed intothe fieldhouse. Unlike the McBride Fieldhouse, this one was big, beautiful and wellequipped. ' Still undaunted, the Colonels charged onto the foreign turf. It was there that our troops were overcome. Palmer Stadium, the second oldest stadium in the country, was simply magnificent. With its 50,000 empty seats staring and that cold autumn sun glaring orange in the sky, it was a sight that was simply breathtaking. Already on the field were the black and orange uniformed players of one of the nations most historic universities. They were massive. "I was scared to death," remarked one of Wilkes' freshmen, " unW after the first hit. Then I realized that they are human just like us. " After overcoming the initial reaction of awe, the Colonels played pretty good football. We hit them and they hit us, but the little college from Wilkes-Barre just wouldn' t be intimidated. After the battle, the team was treated to a veritable feast. With a gourmet meal under their belts a tour of the Jadwin Gymnasium on campus was in order. The gym has got to be one of the most complete athletic complexes in the nation. It is five stories high! A gargantuan basketball arena, tennis courts, weight rooms, a huge wrestling room, and believe it or not, a baseball diamond among others make up this tremendous complex. It was first class treatment all the way ona first class campus, but with attendance that requires the astronomical tuition of almost $6,000 a year, I'm sure the Colonels will be very content with just a visit to one of the most majestic and prominent universities in the nation.

Seasonal play begins on Tuesday, September 21, when the Wilkes girls host Albright College at 4 p.m. •te Coach Gay Meyers takes ·a from her busy schedule to discuss strategy with the 1976 field hockey co-captains, Penny Bianconi, left, and Sue Arm Knight. Prognosticatioll Can the Wilkes College football team possibly win the MAC title? Does the team have enough depth to compete with the likes of Indiana State University, Juniata, and Albright? .Can they ·· survive the entire schedule relatively injury-free? · Will one quarterback reign supreme? Can the Colonels have an effective running game without a bona finde outside threat? Will lack of experience be overcome by youthful zeal? I'm sure you get the idea . . Generally, the major problem will be lack of experience. Facing the loss of 20 lettermen, rebuilding is never an easy chore. Guiding the Blue and Gold efforts for the 15th straight year is veteran mentor Rollie Schmidt. His lifetime record is an impressive 72-39-1. Schmidt guided the " Golden Hourde" during the glory years from 1965 to 1969. Accomplishments during that time period include five straight MAC Northern Division crowns, two Lambert Bowls, three consecutive undefeated seasons (1966-68), and a 32-game . winning streak, ·the third longest in NCAA College Division . history. · Coach Schmidt will be assisted this fall by . Jonah .Goobic, Jim Fennell, Paul Kane, Joe Moran, Ed Lukas, and Jeff Giberson. The Colonels opened camp on August 23 for their 31st season of intercollegiate football. The team had two-a-day workouts until g asses started on August 30. With . only one preseason scrimmage under their belts, the team is largely untested. It appears that once again the Colonel defense will be the strength of the squad. The big " D" will be counted on to keep the Colonels within striking range of any opponent. The big defensive strength will be on the line and af the linebacker positions. Returning lettermen Chris O'Brien and Tony Pace will anchor a solid front four. O'Brien is a YMCA weightlifting .. champion and Pace is 6-2 and 205 pounds. Size or strength shouldn't be a problem. Bill Sobczak will join O'Brien at the end slots while By Jeff Acornley Don Williams will team with Pace at tackle. Both Sobczak and · Williams have some · experience and both are big and strong. Letterman Bob Gratton did not return to school this fall and will be sorely missed in the middle. Even without Gratton, this seems to be one of the Colonel strong points; the defensive line. The linebacking crew also looks to be very solid with the return of lettermen Tony Couto, Dwight Beck, John Lack, ·Bob Owens, and co-captain Don McDermott. Couto and Lack are real hitters and play very aggressively. McDermott relies on quickness and sometimes doubles as a defensive back on passing situations. Dwight Beck was injured at Princeton and it is not known how long he will be out of the lineup. His probable replacement for this week's game will be either Owens or . freshman Joe Airey. The big question mark of the Wilkes defense rests in the defensive secondary. Gone are all three starters of a year ago. With Ed Suchoski hurt, the only backs with any experienc~ at all are the Molitoris twins, Mark and Mike. Joining the twins in the secondary will be either Bob Dubicz or Dave Korba, both freshmen. A big part of the potential success of the Colonels will · rest on their young shoulders. While the defense seems comparatively solid, the offense might have some problems. Again the lack of experience raises its ugly head. First the good news; the of- fensive line again appears to be quite formidable. Co-captain Frank Wengen and junior letterman Greg Wild have nailed down the starting tackle spots. Both are very big and very strong and give the line some experienced help , Senior Len Dalmas and sophomore Andy Contos will start at guard. One spot the Colonels weren't worried about in preseason was that of center. Kenny Sickler, potentially the best center to ever play at Wilkes, would anchor the line. But Ken has had a variety of somewhat puzzling injuries and it is doubtful that he will play Saturday. Replacing him in the lineup will be freshman Joel Kane. Another bright spot in the Wilkes offense is in the receiving department. Standout tight end Paul Wengen is back along with lanky Bob Irwin and wide man Larry Tarutis. Wenge~ led the Colonels in TD receptions last fall and Tarutis is finally healthy. - Now the bad news : the offensive backfield desperately needs experience. Junior bulldozer Ed Murray is the only runner with any semblance of playing time. Joining him in the fullback position will be sophomore Ed D' Amico. They will be backed up by Bill Abrams. None of -the runners have outside breakaway speed and that could hurt the attack. . The quarterback slot is still up for grabs among youngste_rs Alan Greenspan, Mike Wilson, and Bill Slavoski (not necessarily in that order ). The offensive leadership continued on page 7 i '-"' . ~--4 COLONEL CO-CAPTAINS .

For the .subject of his frescos, Ciarlo uses parts of large-scale Dialogue Day Unites Bio Majors Aboug 60 juniors and seniors and faculty members from the , biology department participated Saturday in the first Bio Dialogue Day. Held at a private campground in Bear Creek, the Bio Dialogue Day was an " opportunity to exchange ideas, " according to Dr. Lester Turoczi. "We want to establish a sense of mutual trust," said Turoczi. The objective of the day of discussions and activities was to increase " unity and harmony in the department,' ' he commented. The session was planned to open lines of communication i between biology majors and the faculty . In addition to building this mutual trust, the discussions were designed to improve both student and faculty listening ability. The day began with a couple hours of intr oduction and orientation to the obj ectives of · the session. Students and faculty had the chance to interact on a one-to-one basis. After lunch, the groups of 20 students was divided among three activities. Drs. Charles Reif and John Erickson conducted hikes through the trails at the campground. Drs. Clyde Houseknecht and Wilbur Hayes presented slides of their trip to Egypt this past summer with Dr . Mahmoud Fahmy of the education department. Drs. Louis Rigley and Turoczi · initiated the discussion sessions among small groups of students. Students were given problems and general areas of concern to biology majors and asked to brainstorm possible solutions. President Robert S. Capin and Dr. Richard Soter, Dean of Academic Affairs , joined the group for dinner. Turoczi's statements reflec ted the optimism concerning the success of the day. He said the students would receive feedback What college women are being pinned with. from the biology faculty memhers after they had an oppo r tunit y to discuss the suggestions. It was stressed that interaction would be ongoing throughout the year . President Capin mentioned the Bio Dialogue Day was a n outgrowth of an Administration, Fac1:1lty and Student In-Service Session last Spring. In his remarks to the gathering, Dr. Reif, chairman of the biology department, stated he was " very proud of the Faculty. " He also commented friendship is the most important thing in life along with establishing co_mmunication between people. After dinner, a talk was presented by Gary Alt, a Penn S tate graduate biology student. Alt showed slides of his Master 's degree work with black bears of Northeastern Pennsylvania in Pike County. The day enc:\ed with some fun and socializing. Bill Finlay, a Wilkes graduate , a,nd Henry Steuben, a member of the biology faculty, provided the music. " I 'm encoura ged ," stat ed Turoczi. The Bio Dialogue Day was " the first step in a long patch.

The first item was the situation concerning the s_tudents housed at the Hotel Sterling. At present, 75 students remain at the hotel. Although there are dorm vacancies . on campus, the occupants have the choice of .r emaining fo r the semester . Everyone seems to be content ◄ • with this living situation, as they have established both a male and a female dorm. Out of this, they have also elected dorm councils . As a result of an attempted rape, security is being tightened. Security guards must now punch keys at Barre Hall. In a few · weeks, a meetirig will be held ' between Gene Manganello , · pers.onnel director, Charles Abate, business manager and Joe : Marchetti, to relocate -security zones. The present . zones have been in existance for several < years. Along with new security · zones, Marchetti would like to institute a lock-up system in Pickering Hall. He feels this is necessary to avoid damage done ' by outsiders. Refrigerator size in private · rooms is now being controlled in · order to keep power bills down. If a student · has an over-size •refrigerator, larger that three- · feet high, he will be assessed for ' the added voltage. Air conditioners have also been banned. Monthly dorm checks and room checks are being done by Marchetti to pin-point damages. This way the respective par ty will be . held responsible, otherwise the entire dorm will be responsible for~the cost of repairs. Marchetti remarked that he was optimistic about the coming year. The past few weekends , have resulted in considerably less damage than last year. " The R.A. staff has been doing a great job in keeping things under control," Marchetti said. The maintenance department is in the process of re-evaluating the dorms for repairs. As of now, repairs are being made on a prior ity basis, until the back-log of repairs are finished.

But how many commuters allow an hour and ten minutes to travel from the comforts of home to Wilkes? Randy Perr-y does. He lives in Lehighton, Pennsylvania and travels about 50 miles every morning to get an education. " I really don't mind the driving at all. It's the school work that's the hardest part," he said. Randy estimates his traveling costs to be about thirty dollars per week including gas and tolls, from the Pennsylvania turnpike. He · says his Scout is the best, especially in the winter. Just what keeps Randy at home ? " I dormed a semester at . Mansfield and I really didn',t care '"' too much for that lifestyle. Wilkes is closer to home." But his committments. at h~me really keep him there. The sophomore music major is organist at one church in Lehighton and organist and choir director at another. Besides that, he maintains a job at a local supermarket on weekends. This ambitious young man is also the conductor of the Carbon County Choir and brass ensemble which he founded. .At Lehighton Area High School Randy was the Student Band Director and Director of the Stage Band. Besides being able to play piano, his major instrument at Wilkes, Randy also is accomplished in the trumpet, trombone, tuba and the organ. ;What brings Randy to W1lkes? "Well it was really Mrs. Liva, my piano instructor here." Joseph Rohn, a Wilkes music graduate and director of the chorus in nearby Jim Thorpe Area High School is the organist in the Choir and Brass ensemble. He informed Mrs. Liva of Randy's talents and upon hearing of his dissatisfaction with Mansfield, she drafted him into the Wilkes Music Department. Randy's main interestes lie in By Sue Ann Knight Baroque music. " I wish I could just specialize 1. What three shows has Bob Denver played in the past years and in that.

" 'HEY THOREAU HOIJJ COME YOU "II Ill 1G BECAUSE ITS A SIGN OF INDIVIDUALITY AND M05f OF ALL IYIASCUL/MIT\J The Legend Of Wec-kesser Hall Each Wilkes student has been to that mammoth structure that houses the administrative offices of the college known as Weckesser Hall. But as you·have passed through those beckoning doors to drop a class or pick up your calendar, did you ever stop to think of this building's past? Did you ever realize wickedness was once a part of Wilkes? Now don't go over and ask one of the deans to tell you the story because they don't know it. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of Weckesser Hall? .... The Wizard does. . Way back in the early 1800's, even before the Weckessers lived in the home, a man by the name of Stanislaus Thrisnapolski lived there. His wife, whom he loved very much, had died giving birth to his daughter Alisa. As an eternal tribute to his wife, Stanislaus (I'll now call him Stash for short) had her body immortalized in a glass coffin and placed it in the parlor to be used as a coffee . table. Stash: There you will stay, my beautiful wife. I shall be cursed the day I proclaim anyone more beautiful than you. As time passed, Alisa grew older and more beautiful every day. Stash soon forgot about his proclamation· to his dead spouse. It was the day of Alisa's senior prom and her date came to the door. · Dat.e: Hi pops, where's Alisa? It's almost time to boogie. Tell her to get a move on. Stash: Alisa, your escort is · here. Come down. At that moment music filled the air, the stars twinkled, and a glow came from the top of the stairs. Out of this brillance emerged the most beautiful girl in the world, his daughter, Alisa. She descended the steps in graceful, flowing movements and greeted her date. Alisa: What's happenin' buddy? Let's split. Catch you later, dad. As Stash closed the door he sighed to himself. Stash: Oh, Stash! What a lovely daughter you have. She has got to be more beautiful than any other woman I have ever seen. With those words a piercing -scream came from the parlor. Stash ran to see what the commotion was. Before his eyes, the glass box that encased his wife began to stand on end. He could see his wife standing in it and looking as she did many years before. All at once her eyes opened. Wife:Stanislaus,you slob. I heard that. I hate your guts: I thoughU was the fairest in the land. You'll pay for this. And I'm also sick and · tired of having beer. spilled on me during Monday night football. With those words the glass coffin turned a firey red and moved towards Stash. · He ran as fast as his feeble legs could carry him. First to the room which is now the President's office. But right behind him was the molten coffin. · Down to the recorder's office Stash fled, but his doom followed him. Was there no escape? He dashed up the steps hoping•it could never climb behind him. But once again it trailed! It chased him through the dean's office and up to the third floor. "Maybe it would not look in Mr. Hoover's office," Stash thought as he hid. But soon the monster found him. He then ran into the bathroom next door. A mistake!!! Stash:· "Oh, no! ! ! I'm cornered! And so he was. Backed up against the wall. The creature came nearer and nearer. It was inches away from the kill. All of a sudden Stash reached into the medicine cabinet. He grabbed a jar of "Vick's Vapo-Rub" and hurled it at the casket. Immediately it stopped dead in its tracks and returned to its inanimate state. Stash: I guess you're wondering what happened. Well don't you know that "Vick's stops all coffin?" --0---.._ JOKE OF THE WEEK: Q, What did the man do when he saw his cat run over by a steam roller? A. Nothing!

A key was put on Barre Hall, where the incident took place, in order that security will have to check on it. Rezoning of college campus was done so that security will walk and cover larger areas. N.so a call to the city was made so that better lighting would be installed. Al · France, Vice-President, made a proposal to form a committee that would clear up problems of dormitory cleaning.

These services would take place in the Student Union Building on Sundays. It wasn't quite clear how this would work out, but more information would be known next week. It was reported that Coach Reese saw no problem in the use of the sauna by girls and nonathietes. Someone will have to attend the sauna because it can't be left running. Permission will be sought through the Athletic department if it can be used. A schedule may also be set up with sauna hours. The exercise room can also be used by female students. A schedule again will be set up giving the girls certain times to use the room by themselves. A girl will be put on work study to attend the~room. The exercise room is located in the basement of Pickering Hall. Bruce Lear also mentioned the broken steam heat line. It will take at least three to four weeks to repair the line. President Capin r eportedly called the Steam Heat Company of WilkesBarre to request that the repairs be made quickly. Lear said it was too cold at night~ extra blankets and portable heaters · would be supplied. On a final note Lear reported on the formation of a new liason between administration and students. Every Monday the three Council presidents will meet with President Capin. Progress reports and · any complaints will be discussed at these meetings.

'Volunteers In Probat·1on ' New Program By Harriet Smith An interesting program has re cently been instituted in Luzerne County. Volunteers in Probation is run by The Bridge in cooperation with the Luzerne County Juvenile Court. The purpose of this program is for a volunteer to be a friend to a youngster on probation. The success of this program has been astounding. In other areas where statistics have been c9.mpiled, the re-arrest rate has been down 50 percent. The VIP program is looking for more volunteers, preferably college students. It has been found that college students understand the problems of children and present a good image. Being a volunteer takes time. The volunteer is required to spend a minimum of two hours each week with the child for the duration of probation, usually six months to one year. Prospective volunteers are screened carefully. Volunteers must return applications with three acceptable references. Then, the supervisor visits the volunteer at home. When there is a group of 7-10 volunteers, a probation officer holds an orientation program. The supervisor will then tell the volunteer about the child. Both the youngster and the volunteer must agree on their new ''friend." The main objective of the VIP program is to give the child a friend. The volunteer is not a social worker or probation officer, just a friend. According to Patricia ·Crotty, coordinator of this program, "A volunteer must be matur e, dependable, understanding, and willing to listen-to be everything a good friend is." wm111nn1111111111111111m1111111m11111111111111D1m111n11111111111111111111111111n1111111111111111nnu1111111111nn111111111111111111m1H111un11m1111mn1111111 I i = I , e i i ART SUPPLIES • Winsor Newton Paints = e • Darches Rag Paper· = ii I ; e Joke-Telling Professors Keep Students Awake And Increase Leaming There are two restrictions placed on volunteers.

Anyhow ther e is a new dynamic duo Kalaritis and Nardone . Panos Kalaritis and Bill Nardone a re the senior co-captains .on the Wilkes College Soccer team . Both are great athletes and super human beings: . 1 . Panos, a 6-2, 170 pounder fr.om Greece, graduated from Corinth High School. He did not play soccer in school or on a team. He said, "It is the national sport there, like football is her e:" He also stated that he would, "Go outside and organize a game, experience would come from this and this is ho_w I improved my skills. " · His outlook on the season is a positive one. After the first game he · replied, ''It is a pleasure being a co-captain a nd I am honored to work with such a great group of guys . I think we will finish over .500." Panos will graduate this year with a degree in chemistry . ·· Bill Nardone , the other senior captain sees his job as co-captain as a great responsibility. The 5-11 , 144 pounder attended Cinnaminson High School in Cinna minson, N.J. Coach .Eaton mainly wanted Bill on the field in.the forward position this season. But With no other capable goalie around, Bill was fo rced into the goa lie position. He has done - more than an adequate job. In Saturday's victory over Upsala he had 15 saves . He also had the crowd on its feet with many of the spectacular saves. The 1973 graduate of Cinna minson r eceived three letters in fon. nis , two in footba ll a na one in ~occer a t the high school. At Wilkes he has received two in soccer and one in tennis . The math and phys ics major said he, " is rea lly confident that the team will succeed this year and be no resembla nce to the squad of last season." Maybe these two will succeed like Woodward and Bernstein ; Redford a nd Newman ; Ozgo and Buzinski ; Nix~m and Agnew ; NLxon and Agnew? from page 1 2 . goalie .. squ_a d was no pushover for the Coach Eaton has. to be pleased Blue and Gold.

This new rule has already affected the Wilkes team in their season opener last Saturday at Indiana State University and they were lucky to come out of it in one piece. • The rule prohibits a defenders' use of his helmet as a weapon in the process of tackling a ballcarrier. It is called "spearing." Last Saturday in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Bob Dubicz could have been seriously injured. Bob Dubicz is lucky to be alive today. Many of the nation's _college coaches have protested vehmently to this rule. They claim that the inability of a defender to use his head as a striking instrument severly inhibits his facility in tackling. They claim that being unable_to make contact head first results in impaired vision and many missed tackles on defense. So be it; from a strictly football perspective. From a more humanistic perspective, it is praised by many of the coaches around the coun- try. The justiffc_a tion is that it prevents injµries for both the tackler and the " tacklee. " It is interesting to -note that many of the protests are coming from large " football -machine" colleges whe-r e tiddlywinks is a game and football 4, a way of Jife ; not to be taken ariy less lightly than eating. To them it is the missed tackles that are at stake, not necessarily -tne safety of the players. At a small college like Wilkes, the priorities are_a little different. Safety and preventio11 of in~ juries is the most" important concern. "I think it is a great rule and slightly overdue," said Colonel Athletic Trainer Mike Aed. _ " Football is a dangerous game and any rule to help prevent injuries is a good one.

Indiana came at the Wilkes defense with a very balanced attack and except for a few long gainers by second string fullback Bob Coles, the Colonels were up to the challenge. Coles busted an off tackle play for thirty-three yar!is late in the first half to give the Indians good field position deep in Colonel territory. A few plays later, Coles bulled over from the 2 yard line to give IUP a 6--0 lead. The snap on the point after the TD was fumbled and score remained 6--0. . Immediately a r the kickoff, the Colonels had a drive ·stalled when Rob Irwin fumbled. an end around and the Indians had another golden opportunity to widen the gap. However, the Colonel "Big D" slammed the door and a 37 yard field goal attempt was wide and the half ended with IUP on top, 6--0. Wilkes received the second half kickoff an\f three interceptions in a row (two by Mike Wilson and one by Bill Slavoski) broke whatever offensive momentum they had. As a result of these miscues, the Indjans had excellent field position three .times -in a row, but the tough Wilkes defense shut them out twice, once on an interception by freshman Dave Korba. But after the third interception and third consecutive good field position for IUP they finally penetrated the fearsome Wilkes defense. Fooled by a screen pass, Coles got outside for a long gainer and Indiana soon scored again. The point was good and the score stood at 13--0. Except for the two long gainers by Coles, the Colonel defense did a yeoman job. They were out on the field a long time and didn't get much chance to rest, but they continually turned the IUP offense · away from many opportunities to score. They were led by Tony Couto who did a lot of stunting and who accounted for 14 first hits. Also turning in outstanding games were Tony Pace, Don Williams, and Chris O'Brien. · The offense was the big problem for the Colonels. The inability to . mount a substantial drive made scoring an impossibility. Mustering only 189 total offensive yards, the need for leadership is obvio·us. The quarterbacking trio of Greenspan, Wilson, and Slavoski was unable to move the team until late iri the fourth quarter, a 61 yard drive led by Greenspan stalled on the IUP 2 yard line. It was the only semblance of offense all afternoon. The rushing game could account for only 107 ya rds. Murray had 61 and D' Amico had 56. The lack of outside speed enabled IUP to key their defense· to the inside running game of Wilkes. Wilkes potentially has a solid football team. Time will be required for the youngsters to get much needed experience. Stick around . This is going to be a very interesting season. · OFFENSE T-Wild T-Wengen, F . .

Warriors ... By Jeff Acornley ... The Wilkes football season starts on Saturday. Now before you start a movement to have me put away, let me explain. I realize that they have· been practicing for over a month and that they scrimmaged Princeton and. already played Indiana State. What starts on Saturday are the games that have real meaning. The games against the MAC foes. . The Colonels initiate their MAC campaign at Ralston Field on Saturday against Lycoming. It will be a big game for both squads if they entertain any hopes for the championship. This will be the 18th meeting between these two schools on the gridiron. Wilkes holds the competitive edge in the series with 10 wins and 7 losses. This is the longest current series that Wilkes is involved in. Last year's encounter was won by Eloise. • The last time Lycoming defeated the Colonels was in 1970 when they broke the Wilkes home winning streak at 30 games with a thrilling 21-19 decision. Before that game, the Colonels hactnever lost at Ralston Field. --... This year should bring an intense def.ensive battle. The Warriors were 6-2 last season and have returned all but five of those lettermen from last year. They led Division III in defense on the nationa l scene yielding only 60 points all season. Back from that oustanding defense is All-MAC defensive end Steve Weigle, · one of the Warrior co-captains. Along with causing complete havoc all over the field, his specialty is blocking punts. He has blocked three already this season and he fell on one in the endzone for a touchdown against Albright last week. Nine of eleven defenders are back as starters and joining Weigle in the intimidating ranks are Randy Parsons (LB) and Mike Prowant · (MG). . . The . Lycoming offense is led by sophomore quarterback Frank Morongiello. He has three TD passes to his credit thus far but the Warriors are considered more of a running , ball control team . Phil Bolino is the tailback and has 341 yards rushing on 101 carries. When Morongiello does throw SE Jim Jeffries is an excellent target. He has 2 TD passes and has latched onto 16 aerials for 251 yards. Lycoming is currently 1-1 on the season. They pounded Lock Haven State 22--0 in their opener and lost a heartbreaker to defending MAC champs Albright last week. They had Albright down 14--0 in the fourth quarter but Albright started a desperate passing attack and rallied to a 20-14 victory. This is a big game for both teams. Lycoming already has one MAC loss and another one would probably eliminate them . The Wilkes team is starting their slate fresh and don't want to lose the · opener and be battling uphill for the remainder of the season. · Lycoming is experienced and the Colonels are not, but Albright showed that they are vulnerable to an accurate passing game so if... .

The second tally came 30: 12 into the second period, when Reynolds took a. pass from junior Leonard Vekkos, and put it past the goalie. Only a minute later, Henry Tamayo scored for Upsala with an assist from All-American Luis Hermosilla, from Chile. With three and a half minutes left in regulatio·n time, Hermosilla scored on a controversial goal to tie the score · and send it in to overtime. In college soccer two overtime periods are played, containing 10 minutes each. There is no sudden STANDOUT FRESHMAN death, at the end of the two Tim Reynolds periods the score is final. Dean Evans scored an unassisted goal for the Colonels with 4:21 gone in the first over- time period. That was the end of the scoring for the day.

The event is held to encourage parents of both commuter and resident students to visit the campus and take part in some activities with their son or daughter. · All-day open house, women's tennis, football, the "Post Game Huddle", at the Hotel Sterling, and the Concert and Lecture Series presentation of Brian Dykstra in concert are the special events- planned for the day. Unlike past years, the schedule is not strictly regimented. Dean George Ralston commented, Concerts In Gym Possible This Year A unanimous vote of confidence to pursue concert possibilities was given to the Student Government social committee Monday night. The vote was taken after some discussion regarding the feasibility of having a major concert this semester and a review of the groups available. Even though the administration threatened last year to disallow future concerts in the gym due to the damage caused during a rock concert last year, the Deans' Council reviewed and recommended favorably a request by SG to hold a concerJdance in the . gym for the Homecoming Weekend. , Since that time, plans have been changed and no concert is presently scheduled, but the recommendation illustrates that concerts are a possiblity on campus, provided that they are approved individually by the administration. It was reported that a bulletin board that was purchased at the beginning of the semester for the Commons area has still not been installed by maintenance. Gina O'Brien stated that a complaint concerning the lack of ~~operation from maintenance in 'this matter was taken to President Capin last week. President Capin reportedly assured her that maintenance would have the bulletin board installed by Friday or he and his son would install it themselves Friday afternoon. O'Brien also informed the body that it would be receiving a letter from Attorney Lou Schaeffer, who is handling the litigation over the gym damages, stating his final position on the court proceedings. The letter will be read at the Student Government meeting Monday night and the body will vote at that time whether or not to continue the proceedings. "there is no designation, but rather encouragement. We're not burdening the parents with a program, we're just encouraging them to visit the campus with their son or daughter." He also noted that the afternoon game with Bloomsburg will feature the parents and is free of charge to parents if accompanied by a student. The purpose of the day, according to Dean Ralston, is to enable parents " to feel more involved with education and know more about the college. Education is a cooperative venture and with parents involved and familar with the process, we think it's a little better. " Although past experience has shown that more resident students' parents have participated in the annual event, Ralston, stated that the event is held for all parents, and he- encouraged area students and parents to come on Saturday. The " Post Game Huddle" which will follow the afternoon athletic events is designed as an " informal get-together " of parents, students, faculty and administrators. Refreshments and a cash bar are included. The second attraction of the college's Concert and Lecture Series will feature "The Art of Ragtime" with Brian Dykstra in concert on Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. This evening of lecture and piano rags will include the works of Scott Joplin, Max Morath, Eubie Blake, James Johnson, Joe Lamb, Scott James, and Dykstra's own classic recordings as well as his famous "The Ciaro Rag." Dykstra is one of many who was carried into the musical world of Scott Joplin by the Wave of renewed interest in ragtime that began around 1970. This resulted from the use of some of Joplin's music in the soundtrack of the film "The Sting." . Dykstra's interest in ragtime led to the composition of several "jazz rags." During a trip to · Egypt in 1972, "The Ciaro Rag" was written, in 1973 followed by the "Salt Creek Township Rag" and in 1974 by "The World's Greatest Grin." The latter was inspired by his three-year-old daughter. Dykstra has presented ragtime programs on many college and university campuses, has composed 10 rags, and has made recordings of ragtime. When not involved in these activities, he teaches piano, American music, and other subj~ts at th~ College_ of Wooster ~nd gives classical . . · piano recitals which emphasize contemporary music. Dykstra holds degreees from the Juilliard and Eastman Schools of Music, and he had also studied at the Mozarteum Academy in Salzburg, Austria on a Fulbright Grant in 1967 and 1968. .j.·•.. Brian Dykstra Over 4000 Invited Inauguration October 24 The Trustees and Faculties • of Wilkes College request the honor of your participation in the Inauguration of Robert 5. Capin as President of the College on Sunday, October the twenty-fourth Nineteen hundred and seventy-six at half past one o'clock Wilkes College Wilkes- Barre, Pennsylvania On Sunday, October 24 at 1:30 p.m., Robert S. Capin will be inaugurated as the third president of Wilkes College. Capin took over unofficially as President last May. Before that he served as acting president for one year, following the resignation of past president Dr. Francis J . Michelini. Over 4000 invitations have been sent out. One representative for every college on the east coast has been invited along with trustees, students, alumni and frientls of the college. According to protocol the representatives of the. colleges will march in academic garb, in -accordance with their year of establishment, from the CPA to the gym. At 3: 30 a reception is planned for Mr. and Mrs. Ca pin in the soon-to-be dedicated Arnaud C. Marts Courtyard. An all-college assembly is scheduled for Thursday, October 21 at 11 a.m. At. this time, President Capin will have his first opportunity to address the entire student population. He will be awarding service awards to various Wilkes 'employees and will be naming professors emeriti. This honor is bestowed upon fa culty members wl'jo have spent many years and countless hours of dedication with the Wilkes College family. Eighteen persons are to receive the honor. Ragtime music was sculptured into its characteristic shape by the hands of countless black pianists in Midwestern red-light districts in the 1890's. It has its greatest impact on the nation in 1899 when Scott Joplin, then 31, was able to get his "Maple Leaf Rag" published. Soon afterward, Joplin was heralded everywhere as the "king of ragtime." His work has served as the inspiration for other composers of rags. Blood Day October 12 Blood Donor Day will be held Tuesday, October 12, in the gymnasium. The · first of two donor days held each year, the event is sponsored by the Human Services Committee ·in conjunction with the American· Red Cross. This year's goal is to break the 30(1 pint total which was set last year. The total represented a new Wilkes record. Awards will again be given to the male and female dorms and club which has the greatest percentage of members donating blood. ' Human Services is encouraging everyone to come to the gym and volunteer to give blood, even if there is a possibility you may be rejected. �;career Library Expands ;so. u rces Of Information .... A recent addition to the ~ Guidance and Placement Office, ] e ~ £' c 8 ~ ~ ~ ~ is the Career Library, where students can gain information on almost 200 major companies. The library contains literature, brochures and applications from most of these companies. Since all brochures arrived near the end of summer, and are still comirrg, all information in the library is up-to-date. "The purpose of this library is for the student to read brochures and learn about the company and its requirements," according to John Chwalek, director of Guidance and Placement. The library will soon contain twelve casettes which will help the student in settiF1g his goals. Chwalek also plans to add audiovisual equipment to further aid the students. " What we have now is adequate," said Chwalek. "The lmportant thing is that for students to get career counseling, all they have to do is come to see me." · In addition to the library, which will hopefully be nefit the students , Chwalek plans to hold career seminars later in the semester.

Classes for those interested in jumping will also be arranged. Experience is not required but hard hats, hard-soled shoes or riding boots, jeans or riding breeches are. These and other attire may be purchased at the Halter House on the Center grounds. Melissa S. Cobourn, coofdinator of the program, puts an _N ationally Known Speed .Reading Course To Be WILKES-BARRE 1 free, one hour, orientation lectures have been scheduled. At these free lectures the course will be explained in complete detail, including classroom procedures, instruction methods, class schedule a nd a special one time only introductory tuition that is less than one-third the cost of similar courses. You must attend any of the meetings for information about the Wilkes-Barre classes. These orientations are open to the public, above age 14, (persons under 18 should be accompanied by a parent if possible). If you have always wanted to be a speed reader but fou nd the cost prohibitive or the course too time consuming ... now you can! Just by attending one evening per week for just 4 short weeks you can read 7 to JO times faster, concentrate better and comprehend more. If you are a student who would like to make A·s instead of B's or C's or if you are a business person who · wants to stay abreast of today's everchanging accelerating world then this course is an absolute necessity. Diamonds VANSCOY Dmmond Salon Gateway Shopping Center (Near Jewelcor ) Taught Here In Wilkes-Barre (S pec. )-U nited States Reading Lab will offer a 4 week course in speed reading to a limited number of · qualified people in the WilkesBarre area. This recently developed method of instruction is the most innovative and effective program available in the United States. Not only does this famous course reduce your time in the class room to just one class per week for 4 short weeks but it also includes an advanced speed reading course on casse tte tape so that you can continue to improve for the rest of your life. In just 4 weeks the average student should be reading 4-5 times faster. In a few months some students are reading 20-30 times faster attaining speeds that approa.c h 6000 words per minute. In rare instances speeds of up to 1:1,000 wpm have been documented. Our average graduate should read 7-10 times faster upon completion of the course with marked improvement in comprehension and concentration.

News only possesses ~ 1l~dn uch energy and enthusiasm as the individual reader puts '!!}to. the facts as they a re reported. jl .:; ~ , , The Beacon is aware that there are two problems ap-· parent on campus in the name of security and maintenance. We have attempted to view these problems from both sides ~!;}ct report the facts (ie. the attempted rape story). Stories ,become twisted when misinterpreted, or when taken into hands of people not entirely in control of the facts. At no time were there "six streakers on campus," and according to Joe Marchetti, director of housing, all the locks at Doane could not be opened by an ID card. Although " our drab unoriginal stories," won The Beacon first place in the Columbia University Scholastic Press Association Newspaper Contest, we ha ve not been satisfied but continued to do our best to report news as it happens. The guidelines of July 1968 that were set for The Beacon are a very r outine set of standards that are totally open and flexible to individual interpretation. They do not in any way "eliminate any type of investigative repor ting" nor do they "provide for any censorship." Rather these guidelines protect the paper aga inst any type of libel s uit, and lead the path to a reputable level of journalism. The Beacon is proud of the fact that it remains a voice of the campus and therefore welcomes comme nts and criticisms, adverse and complimentary, as concerns ea ch and ev:ery publication. We attempt to keep our lines of comm unication open with all levels of the Wilkes College community. (jo?

Listed on the charges on the ticket are failure • to have a parking permit, and parking in a restricted lot. There was no space in the lot I am supposed to park in, because the spaces were filled with illegal parkers. My permit also was in full view. I would appreciate it if the school would either totally enforce the rules they il)still or abandon the entire procedure. _By ticketing cars in the morning, students know that they can • park wherever they want after noon. Students that have applied for and have received parking permits deserve the righ~to park on campus. Sincerely. "Ready to Break A Parking Gate" Beacon Seen Lacking Energy To The Editor: Having had the opportunity to peruse your first three journalistic endeavors, we have come to the conclusion that something is lacking. First of all, we personally feel The Beacon is somewhat lacking in organization. However, since we really have no expertise in this field other than our observations of other newspapers, we shall m,ake no further comment. Two other points, however. do stand out in our minds. The first is the lack of energy and enthusiasm in The Beacon reports with which to motivate change . The second, which ties in with this is the lack of intestigative reporting to uncover and resolve hidden or controversial issues of concern to students. These two points are clearly illustrated by two problems which are quite apparent on campus: security (or lack of same ) and maintenance responsiveness. Since school began, there has been over six reported streakers, attacks, or assaults on campus. To us, this indicates a grave security problem of great concern to the Wilkes College student body. However, The Beacon mentioned only two of these incidents. The Beacon seems to take no repsonsibility for either finding out about the facts or bringing them to the attention of the student body. A second case involves the back doors on Doane Hall, a dormitory where an assault took place the week before classes started. Ac cording to Doane residents, the locks could be easily opened with an I.D. card. However, new locks were not installed until the week of September 20, nearly a month later. _It seems to us that The Beacon has a responsibility to the student body which supports it. It has a responsibility to bring out issues of concern to the student body _and follow them through to resolution. The only way to do this is to have energetic, investigative reporting with The Beacon taking the ·initiative instead of the drab, unoriginal articles we so often see. In studying this problem with The Beacon, we obtained a copy of guidelines set for · The Beacon. These guidelines have been in effect since July 1968. Much to our surprise, we found that The Beacon is presently doing everything it is supposed to do under these guidelines. Therefore, our argument is not so much against The Beacon as it is against the guidelines. A big question that enters our minds, ~owever, is why The Beacon itself is not fighting to change these very limiting guidelines . Tlie guidelines, besides eliminating the kind of investigative reporting we have already supported, also provide for censorship. To illustrate the censorship matter, we shall quote 'the guidelines. One guideline states, " It is necessary that a college newspaper avoid criticisms of individuals of institutions when such criticisms would adversely affect the college's ability to be an effective instrument in the growth of the community at large. " At first glance, this statement may appear harmless ; however , it actually amounts to censorship. To use a purely hypothetical example , the newspaper would be unable to criticize an administration member who was not adequately performing his duties since this exposure may hurt the college's public image and affect its impact on the community. It makes no difference that the article might force the person (who is actually hurting the college and community since he is not performing his duty ) from office and bring about the hiring of an individual who would perform his duties more than adequately and be a real asset to the college. The Beacon, under its present guidelines, would be unable to act. The Publications Committee is now -in the process of reviewing the guidelines of all student pub!ications, - including The Beacon. We hope the committee members w,ll see. fit to provide the necessary cha nges that will allow The Beacon to come to life. We think it would be a good idea if The Beacon published its present guidelines · for · all to see so · students could make their views know n. We also hope The Beacon has the enthusiasm, energy, spirit, and journalistic professionalism to push for these changes so it can fulfill its responsibility to the Wilkes College studen~ body. Signed, : Steven Esrick David W. Evans State OJ SUB Is Ups~tting To the Editor : Recently it has come to my attention that the Student Union Building (SUB ) is to be dedicated to Peter Jadelis. Most people on campus probably don 't remember Peter, however I knew him fairly well. Peter was S.G. president during my freshman year , and was one of the hardest working and most dedicated S.G. presidents I have known. I think Peter would be insulted and hurt if he saw the present condition of the SUB. All of the sweat and dreams that went into the SUB are slowly sinking into the Susquehanna. Even if you just wander into the building you can not fail to notice the decor , I believe they call it " Early American Salvation Army." True , the basement has been painted and "I bar installed, but to what end? Perhaps a pub, if the drinking age is ever lowered, but how can you ever have a campus pub with no food ? The stereo system is in a continued on page 6 ff �Inno,rative Theatre Students THE WIZARD OF WAZ-: Add~fxpertise To 'Godspell' ·• By Lisa Waznik The Secrets In The Stars Linda Abbey has wanted to be a part of the musical theater since as far back as she could remember. The Tunkhannock resident "just gets goosebumps" when she hears the overture of a musical. She has had roles in the past Wilkes musicals " Fiddler on the Roof, " " Canterbury Tales," and "Sing Out, Sweet Land" and is presently Raina in " Arms and The Man. " " It's so nice to see some new faces at these tryouts. It's so encouraging not to see the same group. We had 36 people try out for a 10 member cast. That 's just great! " · And finally that sea soned veteran Randy Smith from Steeleton, who is working on th~ set design, feels this is a step in the right direction. " I'm so glad the class could do a show this size. It really lets you show off your individual talents more while working in a group." Randy has been a part of just about every Wilkes production in the last four years but particula rly likes directing and acting. In the future he plans to organize his own repertory compan y and work in the professional theater. · STUDENT DIRECTORS - Pictured here are the members of Workshop 80 who will be responsible for the production of "Godspell" on November 19, 20, and 21. Seated are Linda Abbey and Vickie Moss. Standing a~ Dian"1e Lacava and Randy Smith. " The hardest part of this entire production will be.to find ten people who never met to love each other, and that's the only way it will work." · So said Randy Smith, one of four senior English Theater Arts majors who make up Workshop 80. As part of their Theater Arts 380 class, this class has decided to put on a major production instead of the usual one-ac' , cha~ past classes have dQne. The joint effort of Workshop 80 , will present the student production of Stephen Schwartz's "Godspell." " Godspell' is a musical based upon the gospel according to St. Matthew and deals with Christ's teachings set to modern times and music on a limited stage. With some supervision of Theater Chairman Al Groh, class members are otherwise completely in charge. They work together in directing, casting, set design, lighting, staging and r ehearsals. In other words , they're the •" bosses" . This plan for the three credit course was not spur of the moment. Randy and his cohorts Vickie Moss, Dianne LaCava , and Linda Abbey have tossed this idea around since last March. It will become a reality November 19, 20 and 21. Dianne Lacava, who also double majors in Spanish, is from Danbury, Connecticut. She had been make-up head and assistant stage manager in past Wilkes productions but considers her responsibility for the props in "Hot 1 Baltimore" her most important job. She also played Nurse Flynn in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest." Dianne, who plans to teach English as a second language after graduation, finds having the whole responsibility on four directors very challenging. "Pm really looking foward to the team effort for the four of us and the cast. " Vickie Moss, a resident of Mountaintop, is another familiar face from the theater. Besides being assistant stage manager and costume designer, Vickie has had major roles in " Cuckoo's Nest," "Hot 1 Baltimore", and her most recent and favorite role of Louisa in " The Fantasticks." Vickie, who is very serious about the theater, plans to attend acting school after Wilkes and continue in singing and acting. She presently sings with a local group " Just Passin' Thru." " It's just great! I'm so excited about " Godspell. " It will be fun to work on and the end product will be just marvelous!" The basic theme of " Godspell" is hard to pinpoint. But this group feels it centers around love. The action takes place on a metallic, cold set with minimal props. The plan is to show the love of God in this cold barren place, just as it must be shown in the cold world. With so much experience and initiative " Godspell" is sure to be a success. But more important the cooperation of the cast and the directors will make " Godspell" unique. LIBRA: You are basically a "well-ba lanced" person. Weigh each decision carefully befor e you make it.

Tennis balls were flying in all directions Friday morning on the courts in Kirby Park, as two inexperie nced, yet hopeful , sophomore elementary education majors had their first tennis lesson. On the two previous Fridays, rainy weather had forced ey_ents into the gvm. Along with the other members of their phys. ed. class, they confronted the courts with enthusiasm. Almost everybody involved had some knowledge of the proper way of playing the sport. The first thing to learn was how to serve. This was accomplished by one person throwing the ball over the net and the other hitting it back. However, this became extr em ely embar rassing and frustrating for tfiese two aspiring teachers, turning into a steady process of retreiving lost balls, missing serves and dodging the shots of fellow players. During these exhaustive maneuvers, one of the duo involved suddenly screamed "Wait a minute!" " Hold On!" " The face is gone". Her partner immediately thought she had been struck in the head with a stray ball and went over to investigate. Upon arriving she discovered her baffled friend staring down at her watch - but only the crystal and band of the watch, which is one of those new ones resembling a bracelet, r emained-the rest of the watch was gone ! After searching the immediate vicinity for a minute or so they discovered the "missing face" three feet from the net, still ticking away the seconds. As nonchalantly as possible, the owner walked over , picked up the rest of the watch, and snapped it back into place. Only now did she realize she had forgotten to remove it at the beginning of the class. · After recovering from a mild case of hysterics and laughter, the two went back fo their endeavors of learning to play a decent game of tennis. When the glass was finally over, the pair became painfully aware of the fact that it would be a long time and many more hours of practice before they could be proud of their tennis abilities. Okay, so Billie Jean King and Chris Evert they weren't, but everyone has to start somewhere, don''t they? f Cl1 �; Soccer Tealll Gains A F elllale i:i. By Jubie Pokrlacbak Maris Solomon staying and keeping in shape helps school work. The junior biology major from Massapequa, New York, is a member of the College soccer team. Maris became involved with the soccer team during her freshman year at Wilkes. For two years, the Susquehannock Hall resident has kept score for the team and handled the managerial duties. This y~ar, she volunteered to become the soccer team 's student trainer. The guys on the.. team had another idea and informed the pretty co-ed she had run out of excuses and it was about time she learned how to play the game. Since the beginning of the . soccer season, Maris has been doing drills and running along with the guys. The co-ed even had a ch~nce to play in the first game of the season against tffe Alumni on September 11. She went in with the rest of the second string. Until this year, Maris had never played soccer. However she did comment, " I fell in lov; with soccer the first time I saw a game." Maris is also a member of the Wilkes swim te~m and has been since her freshman year. In discussing the swim team, she · explained she had been swimming · since a very early age because her both parents were involved with lt. Her father was a lif~gua~d ~nd her mother , swrmmmg mstructor. Originally, Maris joined the . swim team with the idea of improying her swimming and not really of competing. Once on the team, though , her attitude chqnged and she did compete. As far as her participation with . the soccer team, Maris said, "Most of the guys are being really good about it." She also mentioned she was not trying to set a precedent by going out for the team. a intramural sports and has played or at least tried most of them. When asked how her interest in athletics developed, Maris stated " I grew up in Brooklyn and you play with one of two things, stickball or dolls. I rejected the dolls and picked up the stickball bat." Even though practice requires a time commitment, Mar is budgets her time. "I put in as much time studying as possible." The increased physical activity from playing soccer has helped her concentration and perception , in class. "It'~goodfor the mind as well as the body. '.' _ Maris feels sports like soccer allow a person to learn his own capacities and endurance. To Maris, sports are an integral part of her college years, but studies do · come first. The rookie soccer player hopes to· be accepted to medical school when she graduates from Wilkes. Security Improvements Topic Of Discussion Security was discussed for the third straight meeting by the Inter-Dormitory Council Sunday . night. A report from the Student Life Committee said that a spot car has been added to the three security guards. Police dogs also have been roaming the campus late at night and an additional guard was mentioned as being added to the security force . Rezoning of the campus security areas has not been completed but • it is still being worked on. An escort service may be set up as a security measure for the girls. Boys would be put on work study from around nine o'clock to one o'clock and take calls from girls who need an escort around campus. Bruce Lear IDC President, said this syst~m has not been too successful in the past, so a tight-organized system will be set up. This escort service should be available soon. Also reported from the Student Life Committee were reports on . maintenance and the alcohol policy. To many complaints and back orders are the reasons why maintenance is so far behind. A meeting with Mr. James Kerr of Columbus Service was reported and a new system will be set up. For the alcohol policy, Lear said the administr ation has been pleased with the way parties at the Student Union Building have · been running and saw no reason why they should not continue. It was reported that a schedule has been set for the girls use of the exercise room. The girls may use the room on Thursdays at 1: 00 to 4: 00 and on Sundays from 7: 00 to 10: 00. Informal instruction is offered to the girls who need it. It is also up to the girls using the room if the guys can be allowed to use it at the same time. No . schedule has been set up for the use of the saun·a by the girls, so permission must still be sought through the Athletic department. from page 4 Marls Solomon "I haven't noticed any negative reactions," commented Maris when asked how her teammates felt. She did say some of the spectators were a little shocked. Since she has only played against · the Alumni, so far , there was no real surprise from her opponents, many of whom she knew from working with the team in the last two years. Maris is not the only girl in the conference. She did state there is a girl on a soccer team at another school. Throughout her high school years, Maris was involved with PHOTO T- SHIRTS IN FULL COLOR shambles; although I understand a new system has been ordered. I wonder if it will be versatile enough to accommodate the sound from the movie projector ( or will all our films be seen with the sound emanating from a 4" ·speaker ). Or will it be adaptable for theatrical purposes? Or how about some of the coffee house musicians' equipment? Another interestmg mess is the ex-lighting system for the stage. The control board is in a state of disrepair and the spot lights are missing. The wiring, however, is quite conspicious against the lovely champagne beige walls. I could go on, however I'm quite embarreued at' the moment. It should be obviousthat the SUB has been subject to the whims and fantasies of people who have no foresight. If any thought was given to future planning the SUB would not have to be torn apart and put back tog ether every time a new director comes into power. Peter Jadelis had a dream for the SUB. A dream which he knew would not become a reality for him, although he layed the foundation (almost literally) for future Wilkes students. Even the best dreams become stagnant and corrupt if they are not continually renewed. I hope' our student leaders remember how to dream, as Peter did, for the future and not for themselves.

For Further lnfonnation Inquire At The Placement Office r I.. �In the good ole summer time, when the grass is green and the birds sing sweet melodies, the MAC Northern Division championship promised to be a real dog fight. Now that the mellowness of autumn has engulfed us, we realize that the prediction was accurate. Albright and Juniata were co-favorites to cop the cup at the beginning of the season. Upsala and Lycoming were given the darkhorse roles with outside chances given Susquehanna Wilkes, and Delaware Valley. Little has happened to change that outlook although Albr ight appears to be in the best shape after the early going. The Lions opened their MAC schedule with tw~ 'of the tougl:Jest opponents right in the beginning of the year.They were lucky to survive. They rallied with 20 fourth quarter points and overtook Lycoming in the opener. The following week was like the frying pan to the fire when they squeeked past Juniata, 15-13. Despite the closeness of their two conference matches thus far, they will be THE 1978 WILKES WOMEN'S TENNIS TEAM - From left, first row, Sharon Wilkes, Cindy Yablonski, Maria Klimchak, Debbie Welliver, Joann Pugliese, Rose McMahon, Judy Bellas, and Merle Zipkin.

After winning their first game of the young season in overtime, the Colonels suffered a 4-3 loss to the Bloomsburg St. Huskies, Saturday morning at Ralston Field. Bloomsburg opened the scoring when freshman Toby Rank took a pass from Jim Mailey and scored at 5:30 of the first half. Two minutes later freshman sensation, Tim Reynolds knotted the score with his third goal of the sQllson. He was unassisted. The Blue and Gold took the lead when junior Tony Apostolaros, a 5-9, 165 pounder from Trenton, N.J. , scored an unassisted goal at the ~ :25mark ' The Huskies of Coach Louis Mingrone came back with six minutes left in the half, freshman Jim Mailey scored to tie the game at 2-2. Ken Curcio assisted on the play. The first fifteen minutes of the second half belonged to Bloomsburg. Sophomore Tim Delp took a pass from Rank and fired a shot passed the Colonels' goalie, 5:13 into the period. Mario Apuzzo, a 5-6, 155 pounder from Jamesburg, N.J ., scored on a pass from Apostolaros at 17 :00. Coach Eaton's charges were tied again at 3-3. At 31 :15 Mailey scored his second goal a nd finished the scoring for the day. Rank assisted on the play. One bright spot for the-Colonels was the defensive play of senior co-captain goalie Bill Nardone. The " Bernie Parent of the Wilkes Campus" collected 25 saves. He now has 40 for the season. Mark Ritter, Joe Picone, Len Vekkos, and co-captain Panos Kalarits had good games on defense. The Colonels will meet the Lycoming Warriors at 3 :00 tomorrow at the Ralston Soccer Field.. -White- Turley AppointetJ , New The Wilkes College Swidiming Team has a new coach announced Athletic Director John Reese recently. The new mentor . is -Ken Turley, a well known swimming official locally and a 1965 graduate of Wilkes College. He has been appointed the head of the Colonel aqua program for the 1976-77 season.

Main St. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 717-829-1089 �00 ~ ~ Q., co : GRI DDERS AWAIT BLOOMSBURG; iPAR~NTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED . ~ By Jeff Acornley Q, ~ This Saturday afternoon at Ralston Field the Wilkes College football team has an excellent chance to post victory number one. Of course they've had two excellent chances I already and failed to cash in on either of them, so let's set the tone of the outlook as one of guarded optimism. The opposition will be the Huskies of Bloomsburg State College. They are currently 1-2 on the year, losing two squeakers. They opened with a 21-12 loss to Shippensburg and the following week were edged by Lock Haven, 12-10. But last week they roared into the winning column by walloping Mansfield by a score of 28-7. The Huskies are under the guidance of firstyear coach Ron Puhl wro has installed a newfound spirit at Bloomsburg and the lower Susquehanna River team has looked impressive in a ll three of its games thus far into the season. The Huskies were far from impressive last seqson as they posted a 1-8 log, including a 41-19 laugher to Wilkes which wasn'L as close as the final score indicated. The only Huskie victory was a 9-8 win over Lock Haven. · The Huskie defense appears to have been improved tremendously. Last year they were scored on a rate of 32.5 points a game. It is awful hard to win games with a defense giving up more points than the offense can possibly score. Obviously, this was Puhl's top priority and he has succeeded in bringing the average down to a somewhat reasonable 14 points a game. The defense is anchored by All-Pennsylvania r:onference first team defensive back, Lou Sannutti. The Bloomsburg offense also seems drastically improved. They scored only an average of 6.2 points per outing last season and were shut out four times. A freshman quarterback is the basic reason for the turn around made by the offense. Mike Canzler is a passer Harriers Shut and if his three game stats are any indication, he will be a good one. Canzler is 33~6 for a 50% completion average and they were good for 554 yards and two touchdowns. His prime receivers are Tom Brennan (13-313), Barry Staton ( 7-139) , and Mike Steigerwalt (6-54 ). The big problem for the Huskies so far has been the lack of an effective running game. Sound familiar? Tony Moore has been the leading rusher with only 108 yards on 26 carries. On the other hand are the Colonels. After dropping the opener to Indiana , the Blue and Gold again fell prone to costly errors against Lycoming. They were down 21-3 in the fourth quarter and beat themselves with costly mistakes and some questionable play calling. Once the Colonels went to the air against the nations's top rated Lycoming defense, things started to happen. Unfortunately, it happened too late as the clock ran out with the Colonels driving for the winning score. The quarterback position appears to have been won temporarily by Bill Slavoski. He hit seven of 14 passes in the fourth quarter while directing the Colonels to two TD's. All three of the Wilkes quarterbacks have looked good in brief fl11shes of brilliance but none has been very consistant. The Blue and Gold "Big D" again turned in a superb outing. Two of the Warrior scores were caused by the Colonel offense due to a blocked punt and a fumble. The key to the contest appears to hinge on the Colonel defense. They set the stage for 10 of the Colonel points last week, coming up with four . fumbles and constantly performing the big play. If the Wilkes defense can stop the Huskie passing game, the Colonels shouldn't have any trouble breaking into the win column. By Jeff Acornley It was a great moment in Wilkes athletics. The coach had a grin on his face that was as wide as all outdoors. The athletes had the look of determination and the knowledge of a job well done. Their sweaty faces were pink from exhaustion. Their feet were wnite with blisters. But ignoring the groans of the body, they were estatic with joy. ' This had been more than a cross country meet. Wilkes had won this meet and had won big. The first :rx places were captured by Colonels in the 15-45 victory over a stunned Baptist Bible team. Last Friday afternoon at Kirby Out Park, Coach George Pawlush felt a satisfaction that he hasn't felt too often at the helm of the Wilkes cross country program. The victory was sweet. "I feel just super!" exclaimed Pawlush. " Losing season after season was very frustrating and after last year, I was ready to hang it up. Losing 70 matches in the past 6 seasons is no picnic I assure you." "Last season was especially frustrating because I thought that we had finally gotten it together, but after the dust cleared we were 1-12 and right back where we ·started from." Things have happened since FRESHMEN CAN BE FUN-Coach George Pawlush is surrounded by young freshmen on this year's edition of the Cross Country Colonels and seldom is heard a discouraging word. "This is the best group young men I have ever worked with in my entire coaching career," exclaimed Pawlush. Now if they would only stop tripping on their shoe laces. of BB last fall. Most importantly was the matriculation of the finest crop of freshmen runners in the history to the college. They have tremendous potential. The Colonels copped the first six places in Friday's meet and all six of those runners are underclassmen. Pacing the pack is freshman sensation Dave Boris from GAR High School. Dave is the most talented of the harriers and has the perfect attitude to go with all that talent. He toured the 4.8 mile Kirby Park course in 27: 35, just 22 seconds off the course record Following closely behind Boris was junior Dan Rittenhouse, a transfer from LCCC. Only 4 se1.:onds behind Rittenhouse was freshman Don Patrick and only 9 seconds behind him was a_nothe·r freshman Vince D' Am1:1to. Yet another freshman, Roger Davis, finished the scoring for . Wilkes with a fifth place finish. Sophomore Jeff Davis captured sixth place to help assure the complete Colonel doll!inance. Conceding the victory to Boris, the Baptist Bible strategy was to capture the middle positions by staying with the Colonel middle runners. But Rittenhouse and company had other ideas as they took a commanding lead at the start and were never headed. " This was a very gratifying win for us," sta ted Coach Pawlpsh. " They had defeated us 10 straight times and it felt very good winning one. Never before in Wilkes College cross country history have the Colonels captured all of the top slots. The most exciting aspect of all is that their best running is still ahead of them." Bring on the giants! HELP! - Wilkes tailback Ed "Dinger" Murray experiences that helpless feeling as he tried to get around the swarming Lycoming defense. The Warriors led the nation in total defense last year and the Colonels know why. Establishing a running game against Lycoming is an exercise in futility but the Colonels insisted on trying until it was too late. ########¢##############################################1 Colonels Away Hockey Squad Still U nheaten By Dotty Martin A single word can be used to describe this year's women's field hockey team - UNBEATABLE. Holding a perfect 5--0 overall record, the Wilkes girls are currently the only undefeated Wilkes athletic team for the 1976 sports season. Ttie team began its season on a very bright note last Tuesday when they defeated the girls from Albright College, 2--0. This victory was a personal thrill for Coach Gay Meyers whose teams haven't been able to get by Albright since she started coaching at Wilkes in 1970. The scoring duo of Penny Bianconi and Karen "Killer" ·Killian started their act in this contest as Biaconi scored first on an assist by freshman Jerry Ann Smith and Killian scored an unassisted goal later in the game. These two girls,Bianconi and Killian, proved to be very valuable to their team in the last three games and will probably be counted on to do most of the scoring for'the remainder of the season. Freshman goalie Lee Ann Em l had ten saves at the goal in this game while senior co-captain Sue Ann Knight had a key save on the goal line to keep the shut-out for Wilkes. This was Miss Earl's first collegiate performance and she proved that she has a bright future ahead on the hockey field. Barb Gorgas played an excellent defensive game and kept the Wilkes team on attack throughout the first half. Miss Gorgas displayed fine positioning and tackling. Jerry Al1I} Smith and Mary Jo Frail, playing in their first collegiate game, both turned in fine performances, worked hard, and were key factors in the Wilkes win. On Thursday , the female Colonels travelled to Marywood and came home with a 3-1 win. Marywood scored first and the score at halftime read 1--0 in their favor. Senior co-captain Penny. Bianconi scored the first goal for Wilkes with 15 minutes left to play m the game. Ronna Colvin was cre~ited with an assist. Karen Killian scored the wfnning goai with four minutes to play on an assist from Barb Gorgas. Jerry Ann Smith scored the last Wilkes goal with only 30 seconds remaining on the clock. Ass ist came from Bianconi. Some unbelievable statistics showed through in this game as Wilkes took 36 shots at goal while· Marywood only took eight. Marywood's goalie had a ·total of 21 saves while Wilkes goalie Lee Ann Earl had two. Freshman Jerry Ann Smith stood out once again in this contest as she never quit on defense. She had a key save at the goal, thus giving her teammates a shot in the arm to keep moving. Good defensive performances were turned in by senior Kim Flis and sophomore Lu Ann Neely as both girls helped to keep their team constantly on attack. The Colonel girls got a real scare toward the end of this game when co-captain Sue Ann Knight's knee gave out on her. Miss Knight has a history of knee injuries and had to be removed from the field . However , she· was ready for play again on Saturday. Commenting on two big wins , Coach Meyers said, "Wilkes really wanted the Albright win and the kids went right out and scored. It's tough to beat league teams though, because everybody in that league is out to get Wilkes. The Marywood goalie almost beat us by herself, but our kids never quit. They get frustrated when they can't score, but they still fight to win right to the final whistle." In an exhibition game played on Saturday morning at the Wilkes field , the hockey team defeated the Reading Club Team, 4--0. The Reading team never took a shot at goa l as Wilkes was constantly on attack'. The Wilkes team had 30 shots at goal while the Reading goalie had 18 saves.

"Campus security has been functioning the same as it has in the past three years, although this year new equipment is being used," stated Joe Marchetti, housing director. "Security has to be tightened up - made more efficient," asserted O'Brien. But yet the weeks pass with students claiming they hear of more assaults and exhibitionist incidents, and little appears to be changing. The Del-Cap security sustem, as it is officially called, has been servicing Wilkes for three years. "Del-Cap is not some fly-by-night organization, " commented Charles Abate, business manager of the college. "Never," according to one veteran guard, "has so much been happening on the Wilkes campus." The guard continued to say that Wilkes is being called, "the bootcamp of Del-Cap," and all guards spend from five to seven weeks here. Something that the guards "don 't look forward to." According to Andrew Shaw, assistant to the president, "I don't believe Wilkes is being used as any kind of bootcamp." A typical night has the usual three roving guards circulating the campus on foot, protecting 52 buildings and approximately 750 students. The guards are responsible for punching keys at By Patti Reilly various points on campus, indicating that they have passed through the area. However, if they should be summoned on an emergency, they are excused from their usual pattern. In the past, it was the job of Nelson Carle, maintenance consultant, to review the tapes from the keys to know who was where throughout the night. Finding out that this chore had not been done in several weeks, Carle started to once again check tapes. To his astonishment, when comparing tapes and written reports, the same guards seemed to check out the same amount of perverts each night at the same times, generally indicating a very unusual sequence of events. Joseph Capone, the head of Del- Cap, seemed confident that "corrective action will be taken" as concerns these incidents. Two Del-Cap guards, both slightly built, when asked if they knew the location of Barre Hall, a girls' dorm situated at the outer edge of campus, replied they "never heard of the place." Lately, a security key has been placed ·on Barre Hall, but previously there was no way to prove that guards had patrolled the area. This security measure was taken on the insistance of O'Brien, a resident of the dormitory. Nestled in the Wyoming Valley, Wilkes had never been seriously plagued with security problems until recently. Many students feel that the administration has overloolj:ed the increased aton Vol. XXIX, No. 5 Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania 18703 October 7, 1976 Blood Donor Day Set for Tuesday Oct. 12 Blood Donor Day, sponsored by · classes, clubs and dorms, along with cooperation from the faculty the Human Services Committee and administration. for the American Red Cross, will ''The freshman class could be a get underway Tuesday, October big help this year," he remarked, 12, at 9:45 a.m. and will conclude "since freshmen usually give the at 3:45 in the afternoon. most blood and this year's class Chairman Michael Anger is so large." reported that the goal is to meet He also noted that while for or break the record-setting 300 many years Grissom House has point total from last year.

"More students, more security guards, larger maintenance crews," was one student's comment on the necessity of maintaining an adequate balance of power at Wilkes. Shaw was quick to reply that this year there have been "more apprehensions, and more immediate response from Delcontinued on page 3 SG Vievvs End Of CC ' A proposal made by the constitution committee to abolish Commuter Council as a separate organization met with heated opposition at the Student Government meeting Monday night. , Some disagreement existed between the committee's two principle members, Chairman Greg Black and Commuter Council President Dave Cherundolo, so the proposal was sent back to the committee for further deliberation. Cherundolo claimed that the proposal was to read that both Commuter Council and Inter-Dormitory Council were to be abolished as separate organizations. When asked his view, IDC President Bruce Lear replied that he has received very negative reaction to the idea. The motion to send the proposal back to committee resulted in a tie after the first vote. It passed 10 to 8 on the second vote. The activities committee will take a request to Deans' Council on Monday to sponsor a concert featuring Poco and Fire Fall the weekend of November 12. Student Government gave the committee a vote of confidence to obtain a tentative hold on the two groups and present the request to Deans' Council. SG will vote on whether or not to sponsor the concert Monday night. The final letter from Attorney Louis Schaeffer regarding the court proc~edings against Fang Productions for damages to . the gym floor was read at the meeting. In the letter, Schaeffer recommended that the proceedings be stopped since "the damage was small" and there would be little chance of recovery. O'Brien advised that the body follow the recommendation of its attorney and it was decided without a vote to discontinue the proceedings. Maintenance CreW Not Idle Maintenance personnel have been accused by students of "not doing anything," but according to Andrew Shaw, assistant to the president, and Charles · Abate, business manager, that simply isn't true. "We're aware that things can be better," said Shaw, "and we'll never be satisfied. But we feel that progress is being made, and the tangible evidence of that will soon be noticed." Both he and Abate pointed to a large backlog of work orders that have hindered the efforts of Columbus Services International, the college's professional maintenance firm. They also noted that through a full-time preventive maintenance program ( a first for the college), Columbus is "taking care of breakdowns while also preventing breakdowns." By Wilma Hurst Preventive maintenance is not the type which is noticed, since it is done behind the scenes. The lack of such maintenance would be more apparent than its presence, according to the two administrators. CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT Shaw explained the switch from a college-controlled maintenance system to a contractual arrangement when he said, " For some time we have recognized that the degree of sophistication required to maintain the ( 52 ) college buildings was very difficult for our maintenance to cope with. W'e began to look for alternatives." The alternative arrived as a contract with Columbus Services beginning August 1, 1976. Shaw said, "We realized what we had suspected - a lot of things had to be done which weren't being done." He said that priorities were set, beginning with the rehabilitation of dorms for the fall. A massive painting project got underway, consuming approximately 960 hours, as personnel painted for three weeks during the summer. In · apdition, according to summer work reports seen by The Beacon, a number of other repairs were made to the dorms, including cleaning, repairing broken furniture, replacing missing furniture, door knobs and light bulbs, and'performing a number of other jobs.

Stutts, who has been on the campus as an Artist in Residence, will present "A Journey Through the Mind with Edgar Allen Poe." Set in the mid-1800's, the show will include material gathered from the writings, criticisms, and letters of Poe himself. Between a commentary on the times, there will be a wealth of original Poe material, performed instead of merely read as Poe himself might have wanted to do. This is the third year that Stutts has been at the college portraying characters. Previo~ly, he has pr esented characterizations of Mark Twain. The young actor has been performing professionally since childhood and has had feature roles in movies, on television and in several stage productions. His most recent performances include a role in the recent film ''The Front Page," an appearance in NBC TV's "Adam 12" series, and is currently narrating for children's films produced through a government subsidized educational research corporation. In addition, Stutts frequently Brian Dykstra succeeded in bringing an "enjoyable and educational" evening to the twothirds capacity audience in the Center for the Performing Arts last Saturday. As part of the Wilkes College Concert and Lecture series, Dykstra presented "The Art of Ragtime," which included examples and information about the music and composers of ragtime. Dykstra was talented both in speaking and playing. His serious musicianship was obviously due to his excellent musical technique. He also presented his lecture material in an interesting and humorous way. The works of Scott Joplin were featured throughout the evening. However, Dykstra did perform works by other ragtime composers, including some of his own compositions. conducts theater workshops and is guest lecturer for college theater courses. . Monday's show is the third feature of the Concert and Lecture Series. WCLH To Expand Station Programs WCLH will expand its educational programming during the upcoming year with the help of Wilkes faculty and several academic departments. New programs from Col. Wing of R.O.T.C., the Foreign Language Department, a program reviewing contemporary cinema by Dr. Seitz, and a show featuring Dr. Fall showcasing contemporary American composers, will begin with the new program schedule. Chase Prison and the Osterhout Free Library will also be adding programs to increase WCLH's educational and community oriented programming. Joining these programs will be programs returning from last year: Biological Perspectives, with Dr. Les Turoczi from the Biology Department and Educational Forum from Dr. Siles of the Education Department.

The · · soft-spoken male voice explained that a bomb was planted in the Stark Learning Center, and, was set to go off at 2: 15 that afternoon.

It is ironic that only three days ago all campus secretaries were required to see a film on bomb threats. LUNCH SPECIAL Mon. - Fri.

James Scott's "New Era Rag" followed Lamb's "Top Liner'' on the program. "One for Amelia," written by Max Morath, was a contemporary rage compared to the works of Joplin, Lamb and Scott, who are considered the "Big Three of Ragtime."

A yearly event held by Wilkes College, Parents' Day enables the parents of the students to become more familiarized with the faculty, the policies and the way of life at Wilkes. This year's Parents' Day was set up with an informal atmosphere. Guided tours of the campus were cancelled so the students could show their parents around themselves. Even though the weather was gray, the day started out with a merry tune. The song was called "The Bloomsburg State Blues" and was sung by the hurtin' Huskies as the Wilkes Colonels won by a score of 31 to 21. A good crowd, a team displaying good play execution, and much more spirit shown than at the dismal home opener made way for a beautiful afternoon for those at the college. A Post Game Huddle was held in the second floor ballroom at the Sterling Hotel. It was here that the parents got to meet the deans, teachers, and other parents. . A luncheon was supposed to be held but it was decided that Post Garn~ Huddle would be a better idea. Food and drinks were served while everyone had a good time. The day concluded with parents taking their sons and daughters out to dinner or taking in •iThe Art of Ragtimf' with Brian Dykstra in concert at the Center for the Performing Arts. A large crowd was entertained for nearly 90 minutes by Dykstra with the works of Scott Joplin and other greats of the ragtime era. Dykstra also played a few of his own compositions. It was an exciting, and at times, a relaxing day with football, music, parents and students getting to see each other for a short time before the future professionals start hitting the books once more. Security from page 1 Cap." Marchetti is presently in the process of rezoning the security areas on campus, and hopefully the new zones will be adopted. The new system is pending approval by Abate, Shaw, and Gene Manganello, personnel and systems coordinator. There has been much speculation by students whether the system will be revamped, or if the students are simply being appeased, until this crisis passes over. Abate replied, "We're in a position to take action. We rely on input, and can take action because we know the people that are involved with the security situation." It has been suggested in recent weeks that a partial solution to the security question may be to integrate campus, avoiding the total segregation of particular women 's dormitories, and thereby allowing them to stop being targets for wandering trouble makers. The Interdormitory eouncil has taken action by suggesting the establishment of an escort system to alleviate some of the fears of coeds.

He also said students know the college policy and "each person must take a risk." He added "There is no difficulty until somebody gets out of hand." He also stated, "I cannot be on record as an administrative head advocating drinking on campus." When questioned about the placing of a bar in the Student Union Building when policies against drinking exist, Capin said, "I don't think there will be any problem. My_understanding is that the parties will be kept under control." Concerning other campus issues, namely security and maintenance, Capin indicated he is aware of the students' dissatisfaction with · these programs. He said both problems are being e?Camined. Further commenting on student input involving campus issues, he said, ''Students can get involved in any aspect," and also indicated that he welcomes constructive criticism. "I don't hide from problems," he said, "But I hope students will not be pushed into certain actions without . allowing ft.s a full opportunity to make corrections. "For students to think we are not taking any ~ction .~s incorrect." I �; Security Situation ; Merits Ch~nges The weeks are quickly passing and we hear of more attacks more assaults and more exhibitionist incidents, coeds can be heard screaming at night scared out of their minds, and nothing seems to be changing. The question everyone seems to be asking is "What has happened to campus security? " · . · Over the past three years the Del-Cap security system has -protected the college and serious problems have b~en at a minimum. However, in the past couple of months, 1t seems that what was once effective, has lost its effectiveness. The situation has students wondering if they 'are safe to walk the campus after dark. What some people seem not to understand is that the state of affairs is not totally the result of the inefficiency of the security system. Three Del-Cap guards are responsible for the safety of 52 campus buildings and approximately 750 oncampus students. The job is a tremendous one for any organization. It takes several nigllts for a new guard to become familiar with the various buildings on campus, and the job is not one that holds an employee for a long period of time. The hours are long and the beat- exhausting. The Beacon suggests that a possible solution may be to hire male students on a work-study basis to compliment the security force. These students could work the hours that present the highest incidence of attacks, namely from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. . The students would be tnore familar with the campus layout, and would also have a personal committment to the security of fellow students. This is an aspect that cannot be expected from outside help. . · In the future , an entire security force could be hired from within the college, and perhaps a local detective or police chief could be brought in for orientations and briefings. This system ~ould save the college money and provide a safer more efficient method of providing for the safety of the students at Wilkes. And then everyone would know, "What has happened to secur ity? " - Volunteers Needed For Blood .Day · It is that time again when we are called upon to give something of ourselves to help others. · Blood Donor Day will be held on Tuesday, October 12, in the gymnasium. This is the perfect opportunity to display our humanitarian characteristics in an all-out effort to help our fellow' man. Giving blood is an effortless chore that doesn't take much time. The members of the Human Services Committee put a lot of time into making the day a productive one, it is up to us · to assist them. Many years the dedicated members of the committee end up begging people to avail themselves for the cause, help them out and volunteer. Last October the blood drive was an .overwllelming success.

Note nuxed upper case and lower case letters. The first graffiti reads "FRee Char lie Now! " How deeply touched I am to know that someone is thinking of me. Shades of Pr ince Albert ! The second reads, " PoliTicAl Power Grows out of The BArrel of A guN," and is attributed to MoA. My recollection is that the moas were exterminated by Maoris well before firearms were introduced into New Zealand. However, perhaps the word moa, can be used with a southern accent, as in "the moa the merriah." Suspectfully remitted, Charles B. Reif Maintenance ·-- Continued from Page 1 Beane, then project manager, he stated that "painting and general maintenance were lax to the point of being two to three months behind in work orders." He also noted that when Columbus . Services took over on August 1, it was informed that it had until August 26 to get the dorms in shape. ,_ Abate noted that 25 to 30 worK orders are generated each day. They must be carried out in addition to normal activities such as grounds and preventive maintenance. The Beacon was allowed to examine a two and one half inch stack of work orders completed by Columbus since August. The orders were of a varied nature, ranging from transfers to both large and small repair requests. In regard to work order priorities, Shaw and Abate said a job would be viewed in comparision to other work on campus and be given a priority status. They stressed that if the order is of low priority, the initiator of the order will be informed and be given a time frame in which the work will be completed. "No one will be left in the dark," said Shaw. STUDENTS FIRST PRIORITY The administrators asserted that students are first in the priority list, followed by faculty and administrators. They also commented that they " appreciate student input, and in fact, find it essential," as they ,tressed that they need student help to maintain the facilities . Abate also said he would like to receive complaints at the business office. "We're in a position to take action," he said. "We rely on input." Shaw and Abate noted that although individual maintenance men are the same ones employed by the college for years, the management of Columbus Services is expected to develop "systems" to aid •in the control and efficiency of the program. SPECIALISTS EMPLOYED They also pointed to the specialists involved on at least a par t time basis, including John Willard, a control specialist, and James Kerr, a professionai steam fitter. Project manager is Art Spellman. According to Kerr, a man who has impressive qualifications and experience in his field, there is room for improvement in the program, as the "follow-through can be better," but he agreed that the backlog has hurt. He also noted that many jobs are done before they are reported because maintenance men notice the need while on other jobs. Abate and Shaw also pointed out that maintenance personnel have inspected all buildings, noting the deficiencies, and have "begun chipping away on an enormous list" as part of the normal and preventive maintenance program. 1976'YEARBOOK The 1976 YearbOok has arrived.

Well, since I promised you a review in the first issue here are my observations. I've discovered that attending such concerts, and this is about my 11th, can be a rewarding experience. To get the most out of a rock concert follow these simple rules: 1. Buy your ticket the day they go on sale to avoid being a victim of the dreaded sellout. If the words General Admission are stamped on it, throw it away. But if you insist, proceed to step 2. 2. Take the week prior to the concert off from school. Go to the concert site and camp out in front of the door. This will assure you of g~tting a seat from which you may see _the group's amplifiers. 3. Basic concert gear includes a T-shirt saying "I Lov~ You (fill in the group's name here);" a Colonel-Cushion to relieve the pain in the rear; mittens to keep from getting the "clap-burn;" and an emergency flare to signal the group to come back for an encore. WIIBam Gasbarro Richard Chapllne Gasbarro And Chapline Return To Former Posts In Musical Orgoni%atiofts ✓ L Over the past few years the leadership of the Wilkes College Band and Chorus has changed hands many times. This year, however, one is assured that they are in good hands. Two long' , time members of the Wilkes family have come out of "retire,ment" from these groups to assume leadership once again. They are William Gasbarro, chairman of the music department, directing the band, and Richard Chapline, once again, taking charge of the chorus. Back in 1969, Chapline recalls his days as chorus director. The college had an enrollment of about 1200 'and chorus members numbered about 116 as compared to the 80 choristers today. "I remember rehearsing in the living room of . Gies Hall, which was located where the library now stands, and having the kids sneak out the back door into the Commons." At that time, the Wilkes Chorus had more non-music major members. Chapline feels the chorus is a Wilkes College organization and not restricted to music majors. He plans to bring that attitude back to the group. "I used to put a $5 ad in The Beacon informing students of that purpose. The way to build up the number is to bring back enjoyment of the music and not dwell so much on the perfection of the music. Without the joy of the music present, the purpose of the performance is destroyed." With this responsibility once again, Chapline is excited. He relates some of his most enjoying moments at Wilkes were found in his 18 years with the chorus. He also feels the broad contact with so many students is just great. Chorus comes at the end of two long days for Chapline, but he comes in with a fresh attitude. "You would think I'd be just exhausted by then, but chorus kind of gives me a jolt or charge that keeps me going for even more hours after that." Chapline finds coming back a real pleasure but adding to his delight is working once again with Christine Donahue, a 1974 Wilkes grad,uate, who will be featured as guest soloist in the upcoming concert. Chris, a Kingston native, is presently pursuing her masters degree in music atJulliard and is studying voice with Miss Rose Bampton who was formerly a Metropolitan Opera star. The Chorus concert, which will be Tuesday, October 12, at 8:30 p.m. in the CPA, has a varied program. Beginning fhe first segment will be three pieces written by Benjamin Britten, two being from his opera, "Peter Grimes." The highlight of the program will be Schuberst "Miriam's Song of Triumph" which will feature Christine Donahue. Other songs include "Notes from Tom Paine," a piece commissioned by the J.C. Penney Co. for the Bicentennial and two pieces for Speaking chorus by Toch. Back in the spring of 1965, William Gasbarro became the director of the Wilkes Concert Band, a position which he held until 1969. In the fall of . 1976, Gasbarro is once again band director. This has created an almost impossible schedule for the department chairman. He sums up his present state in two words, "I'm busy." Gasbarro does not find too much of a difference in the bands of the past and the present one. It is still mixed with music majors and nonmusic majors and is almost the same size. The plans for the band this year include a more varied amount of literatqre to be performed and for the band to play a larger part in campus activities. The annual tour will also take place this year with band members visiting many Pennsylvania schools. Gasbarro, a Julliard graduate like Mr. Chapline, was instrumental director at Logan High School in Ohio and Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati before he came to Wilkes in 1958. He was appointed chairman of the department in 1964. The Wednesday, October 13th Band Concert promises to be a good one• The first segment of the program will be four selections including "A Festive Overture" by Alfred Reed; "Fanfare and Allegro" by. Clifton Williams; "Crown Imperial" by William Walton, and "Procession of the Nob!,es" which is a cortege from the opera-ballet Mlada of Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakov. · The second portion will be more contemporary and will contain "A Colonial Rhapsody" by Edward Madden ; William Schuman's "George Washington ~ridge;" "An American Folk Rhapsody, No. l " by Clare Grundman and finally "Dixie" a setting (or Concert band by Morton Gould. All concerts are in the CPA and are free of charge. 4. Other articles for the fans may be purchased. They include: football spikes in case you have to go to the littlegirl'sor boy's room and the seated crowd won't let you pass with ease; a "mini-JobJohnny" is handy' Hasbro's "Secret Agent Periscope" for viewing the barid when 500 fans in front of you stand,; and cotton to relieve pa:ih in the mid-ear if you are forced to sit in front of the 7-foot amp. 5. Now, if you must leave your seat for some unfortunate reason there are ways of finding your seat i.n the crowd. You could borrow North Dakota's banner from the 1972 Republican Convention. You could also ask your friends to streak in place so a spotlight shines on them. This will light your way back. You may also leave a trail of breadcru·mbs but this is not advised. 6. Now during the concert you must adhere to proper conduct. When the first group comes on, usually a well-known group like "Rocky and the Flying Squirrels," throw garbage on the stage to let the main group know you want them. "'· 7. When they finally come on, scream and yell so you cannot liear 1 the first song. They'll love it. ·. 8. During the course of the concert try to obtain a momento ~f the concert. A sweaty towel, a pant leg, or the left ear of the lead singer would be sufficient. 9. Try not to set the house on fire when you call for the encore. However it w_ould be a good way to get the person in front of you to move. 10. After the last encore, run like hell to your car. If you don't you will be trapped in the parking lot until sometime next month. This is really quite an exaggeration of what really did happen at the Hall and Oates concert, but since this is my column I have a few personal observations. (I also promised you some editorials or sermons in the first issue. ) Unless I missed the boat somewhere, the main reason for my attending that concert was to see and hear Daryl Hall and John Oates. Sure it's an experience to be a part of a wound-up crowd, but I find it hard to believe that the music itself wound-up more than half of that crowd. Even though there w;:is security present, there was evidence of beer and other "things ." Believe me, I'm not the temperance vigilante who condemns people for this, you know, "People who live in glass houses. . ." But believe me this is not the place. The music and the excitement of the performers is enough to give anyone a high. Bringing your own bottle or bag adds -to the amount of rowdyism. Remember our own $7000 mistake. .. There is also constant and unnecessary disruption of people needing the "johns." You are just plain bothering the people who want to be filled with the music and not something else. If you are not really "all there," then you can't love ttie music. If you don't love the music •then you don't belong there. You insult the performers by fooling them into thinking their act is turning you on. If you just can't live without it, then go and buy the album and a six-pack and retreat to your room and stereo. 'Nuff said. JOKE OF THE WEEK: Q, Why did Mary Ellen pie~ off all the green tomatoes from her tomato plant? A.

He is 6-3, 210 and played tackle for the offensive unit. He left the team solely of his own will. Greg sited academic reasons as playing a large role in his decision to leave the team. But there is more to the story th an that. Greg started at tackle in the Colonel season opener at Indiana. He played virtually the entire game and when he reported to practice on Monday after the Colonels had lost, he found that he had been demoted to second string on the Wilkes depth charts. " I knew that I had missed a few plays during the Indiana gam_J=! and I was ready to come back to practice and work hard to correct the mistakes. But on Monday the coaches had me running with the second squad and no explanation was offered for my demotion, " stated Greg. "It was n' t the demotion that got me frustrated, it was the fact that no one informed me of it. If the coaches felt that one of the other linemen could do a better job than I was doing, it is their decision to make and I would have abided by it. The frustrating part of the situation was that I was n't informed of my status ," added Greg. The frustration and disappointment festered inside of Greg and the situation got worse instead of better. As t he Lycoming game grew closer, he still wasn't starting and decided to quit the team . after the loss to the Warriprs. He didn't inform the team's coaching .staff of-.his decision and just ... failed to attend any of the practice sessions. "I was hot about the way I felt I was being treated and since they weren' t communicating with me I didn't feel an obligation to let them know that I had quit," remarked Greg. Offensive Line coach Joe Moran was surprised and disappointed when he got word of Greg's decision through the grapevine. "I was unaware of any problem that Greg might have been having with myself or any of the other coaches. I was totally surprised when I received the word. " " He had a tough game at Indiana and we decided to give another kid a shot at the position against Lycoming. Our lineup is far from set and there are going to be personnel changes almost constantly until we find the right combination. No one on this entire team is guaranteed his job. We have a lot of young kids and we want to give them all a shot at the position openings," explained Coach Moran. "The coaches only spend a few hours a day with the members of the team. We aren' t mind readers. Our only judgement of a player is by his performance on the field. If he performs, he plays. It's as simple as that. If Greg had a problem, he should have come and talked to µs about it," continued Moran. The irony, sad though it may be, is that both parties desired better communication and yet neither did anything positive toward improving the _situation.

Bill had an outstanding game last week to firmly establish himself as the Colonels number one signal caller; at least temporarily that is. Slavoski picked apart the Warrior defense with his very accurate passes. He found Rob Irwin and Dave Fritges for TD's and also hit Larry Tarutis and Paul Wengen for substantial gains. Ronna Scores Hat Trick Colvi.n Kicks Misery Like A Bad ·H abit ···············~··················· Misericordi~ Scores Nun By Dotty Martin It was getting pretty nerve-racking Saturday morning ~t the Misericordia hockey field when Wilkes took 20 shots at goal in 33 minutes and didn't score. It was nerve-racking to the coaches, to the fans, but most of all to the players themselves. Then - it happened. With only one minute left in the first half, Ronna Colvin scored on an assist from teammate Penny Bianconi. And with that single goal, the junior transfer from Keystone Junior College took all the tension out of the air and fired her team to push on through the second half. In the first half, while Wilkes shot 20 times at goal, the Colonelette defense didn't allow their opponents to take one shot at the god. The Misericordia goalie had eleven saves. The second half saw a little more action than the first and with 10 :30 into the final half, Ronna Colvin scored again. Tt,is time the assist came on a beautiful pass from senior Kim Flis. Flis, a political science major from Meriden, Connecticut, played one of the best games of her four year career on the Wilkes hockey team. Then with 2.5 minutes into the second half, Ronna Colvin scored again! The assist came from freshman Marie Elko. So - with a total of three goals in one game, Miss Colvin was the 'star of the show.' The Wilkes record for individual goals in a single game is held by senior co-captain Penny Bianconi. Penny scored five times against Lycoming College in 1974. Julie Kerrick, playing hockey for the first year, added the fourth Wilkes goal with two minutes showing on the clock. The assist for this goal came from Marie Elko. Final score - Wilkes, 4; Misericordia, 0. This game ups the team's record to an amazing 6-1. In NPWIAA League play, they are presently sporting an unbeaten 3-0 record. The hockey team travelled to Kutztown on Thursday afternoon and had to fight their way through a pouring rain to make it to Kutztown's field. As Coach Gay Meyers, put it, "Rain couldn't stop us from playing, but it sure dampened our attack." The Wilkes women came home with a heartbreaking 3-0 defeat. Again, scoring the only goal for Wilkes was Ronna Colvin. The assist came fr.om freshman Geri Hoffman. Goalie Lee Ann Earl had 15 saves at the goal while Jean Johnson and Jerry Ann Smith did a great job on defense. Kutztown is traditionally a very tough team, but the Colonel girls evened their opponents play in the first half of the contest. But fouls and a slippery playing field hurt the girls too much. Coach Meyers commented, "Except for defensive l'\l.arking in the circle, we played alright. But we were always a half-step slow and Kutztown took advantage of that." The stick women will travel to Bloomsburg State College this afternoon and will play host to Lycoming College on Tuesday. Saturday will mark the halfway point in the Wilkes College gridiron schedule. The Colonels simply cannot lose another game if they entertain any serious hopes of grabbing the MAC title. The Colonels travel to East Orange, N.J. on Saturday to take on the undefeated Upsala Vikings in the beginning of a series of "must win" games for both teams. Every remaining Colonel opponent is in the MAC while Upsala is in much the same position. . A Wilkes football team hasn't lost to Ups_ala smce 1965 and the Colonels lead the 9 year series, 7-2. Upsala is currently sporting a 3-0 record and is much improved over the 5-4 team of a year ago. The Vikings trounced Swarthmore in their opener, 27-0 and followed up with a 24-11 upset of Susquehanna. Last week they spanked Madison FDU, 17-0. Head coach John Hooper has lost only two letterm en from last season arid as a result has a very experienced squad. He was voted "Coach of the Year" by the New Jersey sportswriters after leading the Vikings out of the depths of an 18 game losing streak which extended over three previous seasons. The Upsala forte is defense. Yielding only 11 points in three games thus far, they are rated third in the nation c\gafr:ist the rush. They are also solid against the passing attack with the secondary sporting 9 interceptions, led by Winslow Stilwell's 4 pilfers. Other defensive standouts inelude Joe Piazza (DB) who led the Vikings in interceptions last year, ends Gerry Cronin and Javier Martinez, and tri-captains Phil Mandato (DT) and John Kupfer (LB). The Viking offense isn't outstanding but they have been getting the job done and are averaging over 20 points a game. The quarterbacking is done mostly by Phil Castagna {12-24-168-3TD) .i Upsala likes to throw heavily to the backs and tri- · captain Ron Forino and Sam Otshiro are the big threats from the backfield. Kevin Waters leads the ground · game with 181 yards on 49 carries. The Colonel offense finally seems to have found itself. Bill Slavoski turned in an outstanding game last week. His leadership from the quarterback slot ~eems to have pulled the previously weak Colonel attack together. Ed Murray had his most effective rushing day of the season following some crushing blocks by Ed D' Amico. The offensive line also looked very good with Andy Contos turning in a super effort. They will have to have a great day this Saturday if the Colonels expect to win. The Wilkes "Big D" received a big blow after last week's game when it was discovered that Don Williams (DT) will be out of the lineup indefinitely with a neck injury. Jim Mosier will replace Don at tackle. Williams had been having a superb campaign and just how much he will be missed is a question that remains to be seen. The inexperienced Wilkes secondary received the biggest test of the year last week versus the '.'Canzler-Brennan Connection" of Bloomsburg. They yielded quite a bit of yardage but were very tough inside the 20 yard line and came up with 6 interceptions.. The Colonel linebacking crew will be tested by the Upsala practice of passing to the backs and Tony Couto, Don McDermott, John Lack, and Vince Savoca will be perhaps the key to a Wilkes victory. Boaters Fail To Shut The Dooer By Eddie White It was a dark, rainy, overcast afternoon. The next fifteen minutes of play was one of Sound like the beginning of a horror movie? It was for the Wilkes Soccer team. The Colonels were defeated by Lycoming College, 3-2, in a rain drenched game at Ralston Field on Saturday. Before you could say, "Frankenstein meets the Wolfman,"' Lycoming was on the board with the first goal of the game. Freshman Gary Dooer, (remember the name), took a pass from Rick Edgar and slipped it past the Colonel goalie. Five minutes later Dooer again scored to put the Warriors up, 2-0. Junior Erman Lepley assisted. With five minutes left in the first half, Wilkes tallied their first goal by way of the "Frosh Connection." Freshman Joe Picone took a pass from fellow freshman Tim Reynolds and cut Lycoming's lead to one. The Blue and Gold struck first in the second half when junior Len Vekkos scored an unassisted goal at the. 15 :30 mark.

And to think it was all played in the mud and rain. Didn't Gene Kelly sing, "Soccer in the rain." Lycoming took the lead at 32 :15 on a goal by, you guessed it, Dooer. He completed his " hat trick" when he received a pass from captain Pat Cerillo and fired it in. Colonel senior co-captain Bill Nardone turned in another steady game as goalie. He recorded 15 saves. This gives him a total of 100 in four games, and a good shot at all MAC goalie. He could become the first Colonel goalie to reach that plateau, since his Coach Chip Eaton, who was the MAC tender for Wilkes in '70 and '71.

Unnecessary Bomb Scares Waste Time And Money Bomb scares at Wilkes are becoming as common as fire drills were in high school. Six incidents in four days have succeeded in making them almost part of the daily routine. By the third one, we didn't have to ask what was going on. It was just another bomb scare. It is hard to decide just what to think about these incidents. Fortunately, they have been only "scares" _a nd no damage to human life or property has occurred. Nearly all threats of this kind are not carried out, but probability has no place where the safety of human beings is concerned. No one can, or should be, willing to take the chance that a bomb threat will not become a reality. So we are herded outof buildings each time someone decides to call the switchboard and threaten to blow up the campus. No one can prevent bomb threats from taking place, and little can be done once they do occur. There have been incidents in the past at Wilkes and other institutions, and there will probably be more in the future. But right now, someone with a warped sense of humor is depreciating the value of our education. At first we're not too concerned when our classes are cancelled because of a bomb threat. After all, having such unexpected free time .once in a while is not exactly upsetting. But beneath each cancelled class lies a potentially serious problem. Each time some lunatic decides to make a bomb threat someone does get hurt. Us. Our $2500 education loses part of its value everytime. It was not intended that education have a time limit. Even a formal education such as the one we are now undertaking cannot be slotted into an eight-semester period. A 15-week semester and three or four credits mean nothing if we have learned nothing. It may not seem to be a disaster when we miss a few classes each term because of bomb threats or any other reason, but it is. We' re losing money, but more importantly, we' re missing one of the few chances we have to broaden our vision and be formally educated. It isn' t important now? Should we be willing to gamble that it never will be? Campus Apathy Bugs Student To The Editor: The purpose of this letter is to speak our against the apathy which has overwhelmingly infected the majority of Wilkes College students. By apathy, I am ·referring not only to those who are not members of organizations or clubs, but also to those who pretend to be involved, when indeed they are not. Prime examples of such apathy are the responses which led to and included my las.t class meeting. To begin with, I requested that a Beac•n representative be present, feeling publicity would stimulate student involvement. I was told that this would not be possible and it was suggested that a summary of events be written for publication. At the same time, I was told that the summary would not be included in the next edition of The Beacon. There were approximately twenty members of the Class of '79 present; this percentag~ of student involvement was pathetic. One person made the comment that we lacked sufficient publicity for our meetings. When asked if there were any volunteers to help on the publicity committee, no one responded. This was, as I expected, as many of the students at Wilkes are satisfied to sit back and complain, but are not willing to do anything to help. The students are even too apathetic to vote in their own elections; This year the officers of the Class of 1979, along with certain members of the executive council are planning a series of events to improve student life. This is being encouraged by the formation of a new Activities Committee which will work only if the students want it to work and are willing to get involved! All students will receive more than sufficient notice for all class meetings, and these meetings are for all class members - dorm students and commuters alike. Attendance is expected and is needed! If this is to t?e a fulfilling year, student apathy must end. We feel we deserve the support of all members of the class as well as the support of The Beacon. Michael Barth President: Class of 1979 EDITOR'S NOTE The Beacon will attend any class or club function or meeting if given sufficient notice.

Flag Football Waves No Flags Dear Editor: T d th d f owar s e en o September Wilkes College kicks off its intramural football program. This is an activity that involves approximately 225 mixed upper and underclassmen, commuters and dorm students. Even the referees and officials are students. Intramural ·football entails a great deal of excitement, planning, gossip and most of all fun. I wonder how many activities or school functions can claim this ' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ' many participants? There are a few basic pieces of equipment essential to flagfootball, one a football and secondly the flags. I would like to commend Wilkes for the footballs, but where are the flags? I think it is absurd to play flag football without flags. I do not know who is at fault, or who to contact to alleviate the situation. With so many people involved it would be really nice to have flags before the season is over! Seth Silver LETTER From Page 1 that we now have. It would create better competition among those seeking positions in S.G. because it would eliminate many of the elected positions that we presently have and . it would encourage more participation because it would welcome anyone who wanted to serve on a committee. I sincerely believe that this new Student Government could work if it were given a chance. Furthermore, I do believe that change is desperately needed if any real progress in the area of students ' rights and responsibilities is to be made in the future.

HARD AT WORK - Klaus Holm, Scene Designer forJhe Wilkes College Theater, is hard at work putting finishing touches on scenery from last weekend's production of "Arms and the Man," by George · Bernard Shaw. Stutts' Production ·Is Success George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man" was recently presented in the Wilkes Theater as part of the Artist-in-Residence program with actor Will Stutts guest directing. The play deals with the "Peyton Place" type of loveaffairs on the surface while Shaw interjects his wisdom and satire in the lines of the characters. The action takes place in Bulgaria in about 1885. " Although there was little action in the first act, the seed was sown for the following acts. An enemy soldier finds refuge in the bedroom of the opposing Major's daughter whil~ her fiance is off to battle. The second act brings the Major and the fiance home to what appears at first to be normal circumstances. Hints of what happened are unveiled and new • lights are shed on tht: various romances. The Art Of Doing Nothing It is very important to do nothing. Nothing stimulates all desires which will further develop the art of something. So, in other words, if you are doing nothing, actually you a re doing something. Continuation of this ar.t br ings about__exper ience _and know-how which will enable any individual to do nothing_anytime he feels like it. Now wouldn't that be something ! When old age catches up with you, the art of doing nothing becomes very important to aay red-blooded , hard-arteried, American. If the art of doing nothing is developed and practiced through adolescence, a happier senile period will result. . A well-rounded old person is the guy who can do nothmg for twenty-four hours out of the day and be perfectly content in doing so. You may ask, "How can you tell when a person is doing nothing the right way? " This is very easy to spot. For example, if an old person is rocking in his chair on the porch and is seemingly asleep, but you detect the slightest hint of a smile on his_face, then this would indicate an ex- By Lisa Waznik The third act brings back the enemy soldier to the Major's daughter, her fiance to the servant girl, and all exit contended. Linda Abbey portrayed Raina the daughter. Her graceful movements about the stage and her "elite" mannerisms made her wealthy airs easy to believe. Elayne Tubman as the blub- . bering mother and wife was comic.:! and performed with the ease of any professional. It was refreshing to see Elayne in a nonmusical role. · Jeff Schlicher has lived up to the name he has created for himself in the Wilkes Theater as the enemy soldier, Bluntschli. Jeff can play any role without trouble and his abilities were evident in this witty character. Patti Fichtner as the rebellious servant Louka played a part you loved and hated at the same time. While she was bold and brash, she also represented the person of self-pride and ambition. The dual role is hard to handle but worked out fine iii this case. Pa ul Kerrigan played the perfect coward war-hero. He was perhaps the most amusing character with his chivalrous but also 'down to earth' thoughts. His ' comic actions arroused much laughter from the audience. An especially good part was his signing of the commands handed to him by Bluntschli. Joseph Gavlick always plays a good "father " part and as usual made you believe his ch~racter. Jim McGraw did an excellent rendition of Nicola the servant. He also added a comic touch to his actions and won the approval of a laughing audience. Will Stutts did a fine job in his direction of the play, however, his cast must have made his work easy. • It was an enjoyable show. perienced "do-nothing." Of course, do not jump the gun in this situation, for the subject might just have a slight case of gas . Another example of an excellent "Do-nothing" is Elmer Twittle, winner of the International Indoor Checker Championship, and also holder of the "King-Me Award" for double checkers. · Elmer, an 82 year old "Do-nothing," has been playing the pro checker circuit for forty years which also gives him the world's record for the most years of doing nothing. Good work, Elmer. Doing nothing stimulates the mind and that is doing something. So to elaborate on this would only defeat this author's purpose in writing an article of this sort. So let's call it quits, and take it easy, you know I'm trying to break Elmer's record. --0- JOKE OF THE WEEK: Q, Why did Marianne take a gun and a knife in her car with her when she had to cross a busy intersection?

This intercollegiate activity made its home here in the fall of 1948. The 28 year history of Debate has left a permanent mark on the history of the school. In 1948, Dr. Arthur Kruger became the first coach of debate. His first year as coach found the debaters winning four out of eight debates. The next year they became members 9f the prestigious Debate Association of Pennsylvania Colleges, but they also were recognized as one of the great debating teams in the East. Continued Honors The honors brought to the school continued, and perhaps the greatest honor the team received was tying Notre Dame for first place iri the Brooklyn College Invitational Tournament in the 1951-1952 season. The following year Wilkes became firmly established as a debate . power by defeating Harvard and Columbia. Throughout these years, Wilkes defeated almost every major debate team. But, it wasn't Dr. Kruger's work alone . His debaters deserve much credit. Nick Flannery and Jesse Choper are two men who will never be forgotten for their contributions to the team.

Several Wilkes professors tried to keep the program alive, but they failed. The team was dead. Kinney Rebuilds In 1973, Dr. Bradford L. Kinney resurrected the Debate Union. Although Kinney started from scratch, the program was reinstituted because of student pressure . . The top debaters transferred to other schools or entered Hahnemann the following year. They travelled to 6 tournaments, finishing in the upper 10 percent. In 1974, the team, again rebuilding, entered its first Individual Speaking Events tour- · nament, where they won 7 awards. Last year the team won 33 awards while traveling over 4,500 miles. The debaters also became members of Pi Kappa Delta, the national forensic honor society. Budget Limitations This year, Dr. Kinney is proud to note invitations to some of the most prestigious schools and tournaments in the country. His squad may be unable to attend these tournaments because of a limited budget. However, the squad is stretching their present · budget and trying to raise additional funds. Certain teams are leery when they come up against "Kinney's Kids" because they are welldisciplined and well-prepared. As one debater stated, "Kinney is the most dedicated man I know. He kills himself to make debate an important and ·worthwhile part of our college life." According to Dr. Kinney, "We are a powerhouse, not in numbers, but in dedication, ability and training."

It is conjectured that he used to wear the hat to hide because of Wilkes' running ineptitude. He' s not hiding anymore. The Wilkes Cross Country team is 2-6. But do not despair track fans, the best is yet to come. After a fast start, the Colonels ran into the proverbial brick wall. With twin losses to powerful Scranton coupled with victories over Baptist Bible and Muhlenberg, the Colonels were pointed toward a winning season. After so many disasterous campaigns it appeared as though a Wilkes Cross Country team would post a winning record, finally. But the turning point of the season appears to have occurred on a rainy, muddy day in Doylestown. The Colonels faced Delaware Valley, Albright, and Philadelphia Textile in a quadrangular meet. Two of the key Wilkes runners are very tall and Don Patrick and Vince D' Amato rely on good footing for their long, lanky strides to be effective.

Mush COionel; By Dotty Martin It was a long ride home for the Colonelette field hockey team on Thursday night when they had to bring back a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bloomsburg State College. Although the final score was not in their favor, the Wilkes girls did defeat their opponents statistically. Wilkes had 13 corner shots to Bloom's 10 and 19 total shots at goal to Bloom's 13. Two Wilkes fros h worked well together for the lone Blue and Gold goal as Jerry Ann Smith passed to Mary Jo Frail who then put in the score. Miss Frail did an excellent job as she was forced to switch positions to fill in for injured .Karen Killian. Senior co-captain Penny Bianconi also played a great offensive game. Lee Ann Earl, another fres hman, played a veryaggressivegame at the goalie position. Miss Earl has 12 good strong saves in the cage. The Bloomsburg goalie also had 12 saves. "We just can't seem to win the big games," said Coach Gay Meyers. "We make too many mental mistakes. But we'll get it together for next time."

The Colonels were defeated in all three matches, losing to Delaware Valley 17-46; Albright 17-43; and Philadelphia Textile 27-29. Coach George Pawlush thinks that this was a pivital part of the season. "We went into that quadrangular match with realistic hopes of coming home with a 4-3 record. Due to the weather and just simply a bad day, we were 2-5 in trouble. It's a shame that we were p~nalized three matches for only one bad run." • Lebanon Valley was next on the schedule for the Colonels and they extended their win streak to 21 straight matches while Wilkes fell to 2-6. Many of the Colonel harriers have been bothered with minor injuries and nagging sicknesses. The most serious of them is Roger Davis who has . loose "ll Ill Ill ~ .... 0 n ... 0 a~ ~ -........., -4 -::r ~ Ill ~ Ill n 0 :I by jeff acornley cartilege in his knee and is not expected back for at least two weeks. Steve Standiford has reinjured his knee and Dave Kerek has an ankle problem. Coupled with Don Patrick's sickness, the Colonels have been thinned out considerably. "I was hoping for a .500 season but maybe I overanticipated our progress," stated Pawlush. "I still think we can turn it around and finish respectably. But whatever happens with the rest of this year, we have made giant strides toward a competitive cross country program." Joins Bliot Smegmas Contracts Dr. Turoczi As Coach; Ranked 1st In Poll By Dave Orischak And Bob Welsh After two full weeks of competition each team in the intramural football league has at least one game under their belts. This has made it possible for the WPI to release its first poll of the season. The poll established Smegmas as the number one team this week with 376 votes. This first place ranking was justified by the 46-0 defeat that Smegmas handed Hotel Sterling m a game played last week. TlJis game was not as close as the score indicates. After hearing about his teams top ranking, Seth Siver called a press conference and told the surprised reporters that his team had signed Dr. Lester J. Turoczi as head coach. That makes two teams who have signed new head coaches within the past two weeks. Last week, Denison signed George Elliot. Turoczi is a seasoned coach and he should help the Smegmas team to become even more powerful than they are at present. Turoczi obtained most of his experience at Rutgers where he was known for the number of passes he attempted. When asked atout his low completion percentage, Turoczi stated that the girls simply weren't receptive enough. The New Riders are ranked second this seek as a result of their opening game victory over Colonels House.

The Wilkes College soccer team is for REAL! ! The club, not expected to do much this · season, raised their record to 3-2, with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Baptist Bible on Tuesday. The Colonels went behind 1-0 at the half when Steve Kasiguran took a pass from Lenny Schaefer to give Baptist the edge. At ·the 8:00 mark of the second half, sophomore Mario Apuzzo tied the score at 1-1, with a 20 yard straight kick. With time running out, and the threat of overtime hanging over their heads , the Colonels scored with three minutes left in the contest. Junior Tony Apostolaros passes to Apuzzo, who scored his second goal of the game, the game winner for the Blue and Gold. Apuzzo, a 5~, 155 pounder from Jamesburg, 1-i.J ., is the leading goal scorer on the Colonels with five. Shining as always for the Blue and Gold was "Mr. Defense" Bill Nardone as goalie. The 5-11, 11 pound senior garnered 16 saves to give him a total of 116 for the season. Coach Eaton stated, "This is the best defensive game our team has played all year. " Eaton was quick to note that the reason for the Colonels improved defensive was the work of Assistant Coach Mike Sicher. Coach Eaton said he was more than pleased with the defensive work done by sophomores Andy Dutch and Mark Ritter. He also said, "As always, Panos Kalaritis played his steady defense in front of the goal." The Colonels next meet is Saturday afternoon against Scranton at Ralston Field at 2. Eaton stated this will be the toughest match for the Colonels with Scranton having a lot of offensive power.

The Colonels probably should have been equipped with snorkels last Saturday at Upsala as they were drowned by the Vikings, 7-0 in near hurricane conditions. The Wilkes defense again turned iri an outstanding performance. The Vikings only completed one pass but it went for 49 yards ~nd set up the only score of the game. Tony Pace, Jim Mosier, Chris O'Brien; Tony Couto, Don McDermott and .Co. were all over the field harassing Viking players. Unfortunately, the Colonel offense didn't do much harassing of their own. They could only muster 46 yards on 49 total plays. Those are not first quarter statistics, friends, that~ total yardage for the entire afternoon. Colonel quarterbacks completed 3-15 passes for only 24 yards and the Wilkes ground game was even mor inept with 22 yards on 34 plays. Don McDermott had another outstanding day in the punting department. He kicked 9 times for 404 yards for a 44.9 average on the day, including a 70 yarder. His season average is 38.7 With the Wilkes offense in the shape it's in, at least he gets a lot of practice. Coach Jonah Goobic describes the offensive performance of the Colonels as "lousy." It was at best lousy and although the field conditions were bad, Upsala was playing under the same conditions. Goobic stated, "We're just going to have to look at the films and be determined to turn this season around and salvage some respectability. I'm glad we have a week off so that we ca n take a serious look at where we are in terms of progress."

His name at first glance may be unknown to many. However, judging from his previous experience with contemporary artists Janis Ian, Clleech and Chong, and Martin Mull, he has made himself an accomplished star in his own right. Leopold's music ranges from folk to jazz. His original compositions highlight his concerts, and generally deal with people and life as it is. Leopold is a realist. The amazing thing about this versatile "John Denver," is that he is a one-man band. The former Skippack, Pennsylvania resident backs up his story-telling with his own accompaniment. One rather unusual aspect about Leopold is that he calls his guitar by the name of " Metaphysical." He holds the origin of the name as a "deep dark secret". Some songs Leopold has written include "Next Time," a love ballad with a brisk flavor . " Burning Tree" features two different concepts; the first is of betrayal and the second encompasses a feeling of forgiveness. The blond musician's mood changes with the tone of the selection he performs. His mood may be serious one moment, and humorous the next. Leopold has played at " The Mainpoint," in Pennsylvania, the " Bijou" in Philadelphia. He has Perry Leopold also performed at Drexel, Scranton and Tufts Universities. · The concert is scheduled for Sunday in the Student Union Building. There will be two performances, one at 7:30 p.m. and the second at 9: 30 p.m. All are invited and admission is free.

Courtyard Dedication Scheduled For Tomorrow This Saturday, October 23, at 9:30 a.m. the courtyard of Stark · Learning Center will be dedicated to Dr. Arnaud Cartwright Marts, · a _leader in the founding of Wilkes College. Dr. Marts can be described as an educator, fund raiser, business executive, author, military leader and government advisor. Born the son of a minister in upstate New York, Dr. Marts received his education at Oberlin College. He graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors. With good friend and business partner, George Lundy, he founded and developed Marts & Lundy, Inc., the nation's first and foremost fund raising firm. His firm has raised well over $2 billion for colleges, schools, churches, hospitals, and other institutions. During his presidency of Bucknell University, he established its repQtation as one of the leading small universities in America. Marts was also responsible in the founding of the American Association of Fund-Raising Counsel and many other agencies. When answering the call of the government, he created Pennsylvania's Civilian Defense Program during World War II. Dr. Marts also organized and directed the 100,000-man Temporary Reservists Program, serving with the rank of Captain. Dr. Marts has received numerous awards and honors including presidential, gubernatorial, United States Navy, and United States Coast Guard citations. He was also elected to the Authors League and Authors Guild and received four doctorates from leading colleges. As ·a central participant in many events of our nation 's history, Dr. Marts ' greatest contributions lie in the twin roles of college president and as founder in the modern profession of fund-raising. He exerted one of the most profound impacts upon education and philanthropy in American history. A tree, which will eventually grow larger than others in the courtyard, will be planted during the dedication to symbolize the strength of Dr. Marts. A plaque with an appropriate inscription will also be placed in the courtyard. Dr. Marts widow, Anne Marts, will participate in the dedication ceremonies.

But seriously, this weekend will go down in the history of Wilkes College as being a very important weekend. However, only your attendance at the various events can make it a successful one. ~ I. Media Is In Command· Of The '76 Election The sleepy town of Plains, Georgia, never knew what publicity was until the almighty Jimmy Carter (J.C. for short) decided to run for president. The media has been literally plagued with . the problem of finding another adjective to describe the small town, in fact Walter Cronkite spent a night with Roget's Thesaurus. Why do the media monsters relish the idea of chowing down peanut butter and bologna sandwiches watching Jimmy Carter play baseball, while they don't seem to care if Ford walks across the White House lawn? The residents of Grand Rapids, Michigan, haven't been bothered with the problem of dodging inquiring David Brinkleys, wondering if the residents know Jerry Ford. The residents of Plains , Georgia find the reporters inescapable. . The logical answer is that Jimmy Carter spends more time in Plains, Georgia than Jerry Ford spends in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It seems that Carter is easier for the public to understand. He fits in a neat, orderly package. The media monsters have taken it upon themselves to sell the package. Carter is reputed to be dynamic, energetic, and special as compared to the bland, bald, pot-bellied Ford. Carter was the one that rose from the peanut patch to be a successful naval officer, and then gave up his career to return to the peanut patch to soon turn it into a fortune. He then came from amongst the peanuts to be Governor of Georgia, and finally a presidential candidate. · And if that isn't enough, he is a devout Baptist, and an avid reader of religious materials. After all, Ford only played football at Michigan, worked his way through law school, came back from the army and threw out an incumbent, got elected to Congress at a young age, defeated another incumbent to become House Minority Leader, and then received the Democratic approval as Vice President. Believe it or not, Ford also goes to church, and probably occasionally picks up some religious matiial, but no one seems to care anymore about that. · · The point is not·Y ord versus Carter but the. bigotry of the media. The media monsters breed on specifics. They do not use adjectives like good, bad, moral, immoral, but instead smiling, man-of-the people Carter, folksy Ford. How can the public judge a candidate on qualifications like smiling and folksy? The debates have backfired into a three-ring-circus with the winner owing his vi_ctory to his speech writer and make-up man . . Is it any wonder that the public has taken such an apathetic view of this campaign? As the campaign draws to a close it will be the responsibility ol the American people to decode the facades that have snowballed through the weeks and vote for the candidate who best represents the public's interest. ,.

It is based on the idea of peer group counseling which holds that addicted persons are more likely to seek help from trained persons of their own age group. The program is not rile.a nt as a complete counseling service but rather as a first step from which a college student can gain the necessary help. In all cases, the strictest ~onfidence will be maintained. Cl) THURSDAY'S EVENTS NAMING OF THE HOMECOMING QUEEN: After a protest by Maryjean, Student Government corresponding secretary, was appointed by Zeke Zaborney, last year's SG president, to the post of Homecoming chairman. Maryjean received plenty of help from the eight people who were responsible for some of this weekend's activities. "They were very cooperative and did anything I asked, " commented Maryjean. Jean Reiter and Debi Steg.h.ens were in charge of Homecoming displays. The Bonfire was the responsibility of Sheree Keesler, Helen Stubits and Dave Chernundolo, CC president. Dion Spencer is in charge of tomorrow's activities at the football game. QI 10 The group believes alcoholism and addiction are diseases which are treatable and are not a moral issue. Dependency upon them, can only lead to a psychological, social, and physical deterioration. Circle K only wishes to help a person accept the responsibility of his or her life and to. recognize his or her importance and full potential. In order to clarify and to introduce this progrl;lm, a film and lecture on Drug and Alcohol Abuse will be presented on Thursday, November 4 in Room 1 of the Stark Learning Center. Mr. Carmen Ambrosino, Executive . . HMMM Director of the Wyoming Valley Center On Alcohol Abuse will be the guest speaker. All faculty and students are invited. Those who are interested ·in meeting with one of the trained Circle K members are requested to do so by letter through the Circle K mailbox at the Book Store. A meeting can then be arranged. A special phone number will be available in the future. All that is required is a first name and a phone number where you may be reached. The letters may be addressed to Rick Frusciante, Dave Berman, Linda Goss, Mary Kay Malloy, or Mary Beth Vanyo. I l).)')NDER W>-lffr TODAY IS "? residents of the New Men's Dorm a special re-election was held. The men demanded equal rights to nominate a male to the coveted position. After a brief scuttle, the competition began. Dennison.scored high in the evening gown competition with Diaz overpowermg the bathing suit contest. Priapus gave Slocum a good fight for the talent portion but the combo of "Stash and Yosh" with their saxophone and bongo rendition of the "Wilkes Drinking Song;" won the overalls m talent. Most of the male competitiors withdrew from the final after they realized that they were vying for the title of "Homecoming Qµeen" with an "n" not "Qµeen" with an "r." However Sullivan triumphed by placing two in the finals. Congratulations Ed and Joe Sullivan. The Congeniality Award went to Roosevelt's own "Loquacious Lenny. " . BONFIRE: The bonfire was cancelled after a phone misunderstanding occurred. A male caller phoned the field house to ask :about the Bonfire in Ralston Field, but was quoted as saying, "He was going to set a bomb afire in Ralston Fiefd." Bomb threats have even shaken the homecoming activities. TODAY'S EVENTS JUDGING OF THE HOMECOMING DISPLAYS: Winners in this competition were the SG Grievance Committee with "All's Not Bright in Albright Tonight ;" The Campus Ministry with "Albright is All Right ;" The cafeteria with "Roast Albright;" Clean Up Albright" ?Y the Environmental Science Club, and lastly Commuter Council with "Qµit This Game." UNDERGRADUATE DINNER DANCE: The Dinner-Dance Committee announces that all those wishing to attend the dance meet in the parking lot of Stark Learning Center until they can locate a dance hall. Treadway Inn cancelled the reservation when the manager mentioned something about St. Patrick's Day Parties to Gus Genetti at a recent convention. SATURDAY'S EVENTS FOOTBALL GAME: For a switch this year's game will be a double header with the football team running the hot dog stand and the letterwomen playing Albright. A large turnout is not expected, however, because secretary Dotty Martin sent nasty letters to Albright's team and scared them away. The second game will feature the football team against the Alumni with three minute quarters for their behalf. Some highlights should be Dr. Reese and Narv Antinnes getting thrown out of the game for laughing; Frank Wengen biting some heads, and look for the touchdown combination of Mr. Hoover throwing a pass to George Pawlush. He runs into the end zone, along the dike, through Kirby Park, over the bridge, etc. ALUMNI FIFTH QUARTER: The undergraduates found out about the party and decided to change the name to "Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Half'' celebration. · ALUMNI DANCE : After the dinner, the Alumni will welcome their newest members-the class of 1976. They will tell some of their success stories including "143 Credits and my ·Life as a Secretary;" "How Student Teaching Helps Me Sell .Shoes In Sears;" and "Business Administration is Always Picking Up When You Work For The Sanitation Department." SUNDAY'S EVENTS INAUGURATION OF THE P.RESIDENT: We all congratulate President Robert S. Ca pin on this day. Other important guests in attendance will be some past presidents including Grover Cleveland, John Adams, and Richard Nixon.

Twirling Squad ShowsSpirit The twirling squad has gotten into full swing under the leadership of captain Ellen duFosse and co-captain, Sherri Kessler. The group consists of eight sophomore and junior girls, namely Cheryl Moyer, Ruth Plythee, Gail Rikunas, Patty Davis, Charlotte Richard, and Lynn Sheron. The girls practice an average of 6 hours a ·week and work hard to present an endurable half-time performance. Their success can also be attributed to the help of Mr. Gasbaro. · Ellen cited, "The group extends thanks to Mr. Gasbaro and the band for their tremendous effort and cooperation." · As a result of this assistance, tl}e group has achieved a variety of performances. Among them was a dance routine in which the majorettes, cheerleaders, and strutters participated. This gave all the squads a chance to work as a unit instead of three individual groups. " It unites the schoof", commented Ellen. On the agenda for the twirlers is their upcoming performances this weekend. They twirled fire at the bonfire, and will repeat the execution at the homecoming football game. In the near future, they will also take part in performances at two basketball games with the assistance of the band, once again.

The Colonels are currently holding a 1-3 record in what was initially and hopefully still is a rebµilding year. But just because this is a rebuilding season, it doesn't make it a sacrificial lamb. They had excellent chances to win and could just as easily be 3-1 at this point. Let's start at the very beginning, it's a very good place to start. The misery began in Indiana, Pa. over a month ago. The Indians defeated the Colonels 13-0 in the only legitimate loss on the Wilkes slate. The Colonel defense looked tremendous, turning the Indians away from scoring opportunities almost constantly. But IUP always seemed to have great field position due to the ineptitude of the Wilkes offense and the Colonel Big "D" was outstanding. The same cannot be said for the offense as they could only muster one serious scoring drive all afternoon and that stalled on the IUP 2 yard line as time ran out. They obviously had not yet jelled. The MAC opener with Lycoming was a Wilkes disaster. The scouting report on the Warriors was that they have a very strong defense against the rush but had holes in the defensive secondary. Albright had a tough time in ,, beating them the week before and had to resort to their seldom used passing game to pull out the victory. You guessed it. The Colonels spotted Lycoming a 21-3 lead in the fourth quarter before turning to the passing game. Once they went to the air, they scored twice and really put a scare into the Warriors as they were driving.for the winning touchdown when time ran out. Why they didn't go sooner with the passes when it was apparent that the running game was going nowhere will remain forever a mystery. It ,'appeared that the Wilkes offense had finally come together in the Bloomsburg tilt. They scored a ~1-21 victory as they mushed the Huskies convincingly. The fearsome defense collected six i.w~rcepttt,fis and Bill Slavoski finally seemed to gWerate s«;tne leadership from the quarterback position. What happened in Orange two weeks ago is still question in the Colonel minds. The Upsala game was played in near hurricane weather conditions but the Wilkes offense was simply terrible. The line wasn't sustaining the blocks, the ground game picked up only 22 yards on 34 plays, and the passing attack was 3-15 for 24 yards. The Colonel defense gave the offense plenty of opportunities to score but what had been a high-powered attack the week before was suddenly anemic. Ill ,a tD ..... 0 n 0 g., N !" ........ 0, by jeff acornley a The big Colonel problem has been consistancy in the offense. Juggling three quarterbacks has not helped. All of the players are young and inexperience causes mistakes like the one we have seen thus far into the season. They cannot afford to let down in their effort in the remaining games because the experience they gain this season will be critical in next year's title drive. _ Hockey Team Has Split Week The Colonel Cross Country team started with such optimism and has been crippled almost to a halt. Injuries and sickness have taken their toll. The last time that Wilkes ran with a completely healthy squad was early in the year. Pictured are some of the fallen Colonel heroes , Dave Kerek, Steve Standiford, and Roger Davis. The healthy one on the right is Jeff Davis.

The women's field hockey team faced a rather busy schedule last week as they met Lafayette on Monday and Lycoming on Tuesday. Both games were played at Ralston Field. Monday's contest was a heartbreaker for the Wilkes girls as they suffered a 3-0 defeat. Lafayette provided the Colonelettes with the strongest competition they have had to face yet this year. The Wilkes team played their opponents even but Lafayette took advantage of scoring opportunities. The female Colonels seem to lack scoring punch against the stronger teams. The Wilkes women were fired Scandinavian Seminar is now accepting applications for its study abroad program in Denmark , Finland, Norway , or Sweden for the academic year 1977-78 .

Mental mistakes and the lack of execution in the scoring attack hurt. J ean Johnson and Kim Flis played their best defensive game of the season. Tuesday's game ended on a m4ch happier note as the Wilkes team pulles out a 5-1 victory. Ronna Colvin scored two, Penny Bianconi scored two and Jerry Ann Smith scored one on a penalty stroke. Assists came from Karen Killian, two; Jerry Ann Smith, and Penny Bianconi. The offensive attack was executed well in this game but the defense seemed to be falling apart from the way they had 113 S.

The Wilkes girls rushed well against Lycoming's defense and utilized cross passes to shift the defense and get in for the score.

Smith put the ball right in the upper left hand corner of the cage and the Lyco~ing goalie had no chance of stopping it. , Following the - victory, Coach Gay Meyers commented, "This was a good win - a win we needed to get the tide changed back in a positive direction.

ID By Jeff Acornley The Colonel defense will be coonted on to stop the fierce Albright wishbone attack. Stopping the running game has been the Wilkes strong point thus The Lions are coming to town and it looks like the Colonels are in the unfortunate position _ of being the Christian. The Albright Lions are currently sitting on top of the MAC Northern Division pack with an undefeated 4-0 record. They have squeaked past Lycoming, 20-14, and Juniata, 1513 in their first two seasonal encounters. · Albright resorted to a seldom needed passing attack to rally to a victory over the tough Warriors in the opener. The Lions were down 14-0 in the fourth quarter before their miraculous comeback through the air. They needed a two-point conversion with little time remaining in the contest to get by the Juniata team in a very important match up. Delaware Valley was hardly a oroblem and the Aggies were walloped 35-0 in the third MAC tilt for the Lions. Gettysburg put a klinker in the Albright machine, handing a 1410 loss to the Reading team in a nonleague encounter. But the Lions bounced right back, murdering Susquehanna 48-7 to run their MAC slate to 4-0. The Lions run a triple-option wishbone on offense and as a result have a very punishing ruq,.ning attack. Frankie Francks is the main man on the ground. He led the MAC North in rushing last season and is the key to the wishbone. But the Colonels won't be able to mold their defense far. Don McDermott and Mike Molitoris are shown preparing the brick wall. Hooters Given Royal Beating By Eddie White The Wilkes College Soccer team has turned into a yo-yo. In their first six matches the club · has won, lost, won, -lost, won and list. It's a nice way to finish .500, but no way to succeed. The Colonels were defeated by the Royals of Scranton, 3-1, last Friday ;:.tt Ralston Field. It was the first tilt this season for the Blue and Gold which was decided by more than one goal. Scranton ( 5-3) took the lead when All-MAC forward Jim Rauer passed the ball to freshman Dan Amspacher, who put a 10 yard kick in at the 8: 40 mark. The Royals extended the lead when freshman John Keating scored a goal with 17 :20 gone in the first half. Rauer again assisted. Wilkes got their only tally of the day on a Tim Reynolds head kick at 27: 13 of the first half. The 5-9, 155 pounder took a pass from senior Panos Kalaritis and "noggened" it in. The Blue and Gold were held scoreless in the second period while Scranton's . Jim McGlynn scored to put the match out of reach. The Colonel defense played their usual fine game, led by goalie Bill Nardone, Mark Ritter, Andy Dutch and Kalaritis. Also freshman Nick Golowich , a newcomer to the squad, did a good job on defense. The department where the Colonels were hurting was offense . Wilkes had only 6 shots on goal, while Scranton collected an awesome, total of 37 attempts. Coach Chip Eaton stated, " We lost the game in the middle of the field. They outclasses us. To win we would have had to play our best game of the year." The Colonels will take to the road tomorrow when they meet Madison FDU. around Francks because Bill Gallen just happened to finish third in the MAC North in rushing last year and together thl:!y present a very formidable 1-2 punch. Albright also proved that they could pass and Junior Pat Sharp is the quarterback. His targets include Regis Yoboud and Dan Daly. Outstanding linemen include All-MAC performers Dave Kurzinsky and Mark Redmond. The Albright defense is also quite intimidating. They are led by DE Tom Neary, MG Kevin ' Kelly, LB Ray Granger, and DB's Rod Neary, Bill Brown and Tom Glossner. Albright is loaded and the Colonels will have to play their best game of the season to derail the Lions and prevent them from their second consecutive MAC title.· Team Totals w First Downs 32 Passes Att. 78 Passes Comp. 30 T.D.

After Hectic Month By Wilma Hurst \.: Over 2,000 attended the inauguration of Rober t S. Capin as third president of Wilkes, Sunday afternoon in the gymnasium. Sr. Jane Scully, president of Carlow College, was the principle speaker. The ceremony was conducted by Attorney Joseph Savitz, chairman of the Board of Trustees. Shown above are Attorney Joseph Savitz, President Robert S. -Capin, and Dr. Richard Soter, Dean of Academic Affairs. Robert S. Capinlnaugurated In the presence of family , friends, Wilkes' trustees, faculty, students and representatives from over 130 of the nation's college and universities, Robert S. Capin was designated chief executive officer and inaugurated as third president of Wilkes College this past Sunday, October 24. Conducting the ceremonies , Chairman of the Board _of Trustees Joseph Savitz said to President Capin, " we know you will bear this high office with dignity, fairness and loving care. " In his remarks, Capin said, "I feel very humble. " By assuming "a very important place in the history of Wilkes," Capin said he felt " an aura of respectful disbelief." "Each of us has a dream of being in an important place of :~~i~~~ar;~~;~~~i.~~he:~~fin:!~~ ".I am one of the very fortunate whose dream has come true." Noting he has been associated with the college for most of his adult life, Capin commented, "when I first began as a student, little did I realize there was no escape." Recognizing the " awesome challenges and responsibilities" of his office, Capin called for a "rebirth of positive thinking" in all members of the Wilkes family . "We need a positive attitude with no room for failure ." By combining a regard for the past, an awareness of the present, and a dream and ~ pattern for the future, Capin said he will work harder to solve current problems and to preserve the idea of a liberal arts education and " rapidly declining art of communication:" In conclusion, he said "we must rededicate ourselves to the community and ask the community to come look us over in the mid-seventies." Sr. Jane Scully, president of Carlow College and principle speaker for the affair, also spoke on the idea of community "in her address and said of Ca pin, "if he helps with community, he has done more than anyone else. " She added that Capin was "a man well prepared to take over the responsibilities of the office ." Speaking of institutions and companies where students will go to work, Sr. Jane said "students should find a community there that receives and respects them." She added that colleges work hard enough to provide jobs, but not hard enough to make " the places where our students go more worthy of our students." According to Sr. Jane, those places want the students from schools like Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. "But," she said, "I get enough of that and I say what about the students from schools like Carlow and Wilkes. They are putting out bright and worthy students and those companies need them." Congressman Daniel J . Flood also took part in the proceedings. He congratulated Capin on becoming the newest link in .the "chain of office now being developed." Citing Capin's rise from the student body through the faculty and administration to the presidency , Flood called Capin a "true representative of the American success story." Gina O'Brien, president of student government, said that to do any job right ~'you have to have fun doing it." Speaking to Capin, she said, "You've always looked as if you were having fun and I hope you continue to do so." Dr. Charles Reif, speaking as a faculty representative, expressed " the pride, loyalty and aspirations of the faculty " for the new president. Although no "dramatic He also commented that the changes" have been made in the college has reviewed the " quality college security system, the and calibre of the secur ity general situation, not serious people, and has found that they initially, apparently has imare meeting the rules and proved in the last month. guidelines set up by the college."

These are the words of Art Speelman, project manager· for Columbus Services International, the college's professional maintenance firm . Since complaints were voiced a few weeks ago about the maintenance · situation, considerable pi:ogress has been, made in tackling the backlog of work orders. Work had continued at a steady pace until last weekend, when because of Homeco~ing and the numerous other events th::it occurred, a new pile of orders was submitted. These orders however, are minor in size, c0nsisting mostly of postweekend clean-up. Speelman stated he hoped "to have the backup taken care of by _Wednesday." Already quite a few corrections and adjustments have been made internally, dealing with , me chanical and equipment ~f repairs . " Maintenance," said By Mary Stencavage Speelman, " is not only fixing a lock, it's repairing the machinery used to run a complex." One of the priorities at the top of the list at this time are the roofs of several dorms, where water from severe rainstorms has leaked through to the ceilings. Temporary repairs have been made.

Activities began last Thursday with a bonfire which despite the cold weather, attracted a small. l-iut enthusiastic crowd. Various dorm students and club members combined their time and talent to decorate the campus with Homecoming displays which not only dressedup the campus but which also helped to spark the spirits of alumni and students. A successful undergraduate dinner-dance at the Treadway Inn, a disappointing football game against Albright, and memorable halftime ceremonies at the game.managed to keep all participants busy. At the halftime ceremonies of the football game, Patti Fitchner was crowned queen and she, along with Patti Reilly and Mary Kay Mally (princesses) receivecgifts from the student organizations and the classes. Awards were also given to the winning Homecoming display. The dedication of the Dr. Arnaud C. Marts Courtyard, the memorial service for two veteran members of the Alumni Association who passed away Juring the· year (Anita Janench and Reese Jones), and the inaugural dance at the Hotel Sterling were just a few of the many activities which made Saturday one of the most active pays in the college's history. A special touch was added to the weekend with Sunday 's inauguration of Robert Capin as the third president of Wilkes, Throngs of students, alumni, faculty, administration, anc! friends of the college witnessed the ceremony. 113 S.

Aft~r T-wenty Years In ·Ar111y, Fiske Enrolls As Fresh111an _ Imagine this - you've just completed 20 years service with the United States Army, you're married and have five children, you've moved back to the town where you were born and raised, and you're enrolled as a freshman at a local college! Sound far-fetched? Maybe to most people it does, but to Sterling A. Fiske this lifestyle has become a reality, Fiske was officially discharged from the Army as a chief warrant officer on August. 31 of this year. He, along with his wife and four of their children, returned to West Pittston from where he is pursuing a bachelor's degree in Business Administration at Wilkes College. When asked what made him decide to go to college, Sterling, who still wears his hair short as he did in the Army, said, "Oh, I was a lousy student in high school and when I got out of the Army, I just decided maybe I should go to college and try to better myself. " And so he has. He goes to school Monday through Friday and is carrying 12 credits.

In another matter related to security - the recent bomb scares - Shaw reported that a student was apprehended, the col!ege took appropriate legal action, and the person " has been dealt with." Although Shaw said he was not at liberty to discuss how the person · was apprehended, he noted that the college is able to deal with situations of this kind, College personnel are instructed ( and now experienced) in the procedure to follow when a threat is made. The safety of students and staff is the first priority, but there are also adequate provisions for identification of the person making the threat. The student responsible for at least one of the threats was apprehended after the fourth call was made. However; three more calls followed. Shaw observed that the college narrowly missed identifying that person, perhaps "by as little as two seconds," "The college considers this a very serious matter," he said, "and we will always be prepared to take firm legal action, " have to have in order to get through.

"I decided to join the Army, find myself, and go on from there."

At this job, he was in charge of the assembling of the missiles, checking the electrical system, making the warheads, putting the missile on the booster, and the frequent checking of the whole operation. He had approximately 18 people working under -him in the maintenance end of the job and about 70 people under him in the actual launching of the missile.

CD QJ Few students have the opportunity to "go behind the 0 ti scenes·" cHld talk with many pf th~ administrators and faculty 0 members on campus. However, The Beacon and a few other C 0 student organizations do have that opportunity. We have u ro talked with members of the college family on all levels , and QJ Ill have found in them a genuine concern for this institution, QJ .c .... coupled ·with a spirit of dedication and determination . It's true that not all s uch people deserve this compliment; there are individuals who have little concern for either the college or the students. But fortunately they are an obvious minority. We feel we can hon~stly say that the majority of the people professionally involved with Wilkes take pride in what they are doing. More importantly, they do their jobs to the best of their ability for the benefit Gf both the college and the student body. To some, this statement may seem to be undeserved praise, for they may point to the problems and deficiencies on campus and ask how anyone can see them and still allow them to continue. One thing we have learned through our experiences with administrators is that there really is no such thing as an easy solution. Almost every problem is muti-faceted, and the solution usually looks like a hopeless maze, filled with many dead ends. But despite this, these people don't give up , and contrary to popular belief, they do not ignore the problems. Furthermore, they are willing to listen to complaints and suggestions from all segments of the campus. This approachability and openess are perhaps the two most important aspects of our administration. The inauguration of President Capin marks the beginning of a new chapter in the college's history and assures the continuation of an open administration. Capin has now formalfy accepted the challenge and responsibility of constantly striving to improve the quality of this institution. He and the rest of the college family have worked and will a lways work to meet that challenge. Inevitably, sometimes they will fail, but more often they will not. J:l Apathy Rumors Refuted By Spirited Weekend This past weekend marked some important events in the history of Wilkes College. The All-College assembly proved to be a successful tribute to people who have dedicated large portions of their lives to Wilkes. The student participation was im~ pressive and made the event meaningful. The student attendance also refuted ' rumors that students "don't care anymore." Over 500 people attended the underclassmen dinner-dance Friday night, and all appeared to have a good time. Dinner dance tickets were at a premium for several days prior to the event, and last minute planners had to practically "beg, borrow and steal" to get a ticket to the event. The turnout at the football game was somewhat disappointing. It wasn't that many years ago that the stands were packed with spectators for the homecoming football game, but the tide seems to have changed. There were more players on the field than spectators in the benches. The mystique and excitement of the homecoming football game activities seems to have vanished, but perhaps this is not the fault of the students. The game received very little promotion, as did the half-time activities. · The inauguration was met with Sunday drizzle but the event went on as planned, with not so m uch as a n obvious hitch. The pom p and circumstance of the event was executed beautifully. Sister Jane Scully proved to be an extraordinary speaker. The inauguration .had the potential of being a very long dtawn out affair but was kept short and to the point. The weekend is over a·nd all must return to their everyday routine for the rest of the semester. The administration, faculty and students deserve much credit for their participation and enthusiasm during the weekend's countless happenings. Few institutions can boast such fellowship and dedication in all levels of a college family . To The Editor: In regard to the articles in the September 16 issue of The Beacon concerning Commuter Council. First of all on Thursday, September 9, all campus clubs were set up on Kirby lawn to encourage freshman participation, and most likely all members of these clubs were asked to help sign people up. I admit it was untimely for C.C. to have a meeting at this time but we on C.C. are only human and as The Beacon knows "To err is human." I would like to attend a few Beacon meetings, held 'when other campus activities are taking place, and see if Beacon attendance would be up to par. I would like to pose a question to whoeve r is the Beacon 's Representative to C.C. - Where were you on September 16 at eleven o'clock, while a quite full C.C. meeting was taking place in Kirby 102? We got a lot accomplished. Too bad you were not there to report on our accomplishments. Commuter Council needs no " resusciating" but Wilkes College does need a newspaper that is not so fast to criticize Campus Organizations. We need a newspaper that will aid the better ment of Campus Organizations.

As our esteemed Congressman Dan F.lood proclaimed: "Where else but in a democracy such as ours could a young G.I student, following service in the Navy after World War II, attending college on the G.I.

I �Gore Resident Becomes Pilot Of Unidentified Flying Object By Janine Pokrinchak I Unidentified fl ying objects (UFO) bring to mind many doubts about their origins. People in the Wilkes College area may be thinking the Wyoming Valley is being visited by men from outer space after seeing UFO's sailing around the campus. Whether some of the UFO's are real can not be determined, but a Gore Hall 'resident can explain the origin of most of the UFO's. Gary Toczylowski , a so phom or e Env i ronm en tal Science major from Scranton, learned in high school how to make a hot air balloon, which some say resembles a UFO. Toczylowski's balloon is made of a cleaner's bag, bir thday candles and straws. " It gives you a thrill just seeing the thing float around, " commented the Gore resident. "Everyone is mystified by it. " Toczylowski mentioned tlYI hot air balloon was a good stunt at parties and large crowd gatherings. The cleaner's bag is closed and filled with hot air from a candle burning underneath it . Four straws are doubled over to form a cross, which is attached to the bottom of the bag. Holes are burned into the straws with a cigarette and 16 birthday candles are placed in the holes. When the bag starts to rise, the birthday candles are lit. The floating time is approximately 15 minutes, a ccording to Toczylowski. Thefar thestdistance one ofthe balloons has gone in the Wyoming Valley is to City Beverage, which is about two miles from the college campus. Toczylowski said the best time for flying his hot air balloons is on a clear cold night with no wind. One of Toczylowski's balloons landed on the Jewish Community Center roof. Before he could climb up the roof and retrieve the balloon, it flew away and landed in King 's College parking lot. In ~igh school, Toczylowski said one balloon came down in the center of a McDonald's parking lot, which was crowded with people. One of Toczylowski's friends went over and picked the balloon up , put it in his pocketand walked away. Toczylowski said the crowd was completely mystified. · Toczylowski stated the hardest material to find for the balloon was the cleaner's bag. " Usually, guys don' t have too many cleaner 's bags, With guys in my dorm who did have bags, we used theirs all up." Also, Toczylowski commented it is hard to find cleaner's bags without too many holes. He did mention the cleaner 's bags worked the best since they are lighter than garbage and other plastic bags.

C:olonel ettes Prep F_ o r Tourney W ith Twin Victories;Still Unbeaten In NPWIAA Competition By Dotty Martin The women's field hockey team enjoyed a good week as they travelled twice and came home with as many wins. The girls defeated Drew University, 4-0, and Susquehanna University, 2-0. Against Drew, sophomore Karen Killian went one-on-one with the opponent's goalie and scored on a fa&t break with 19 minutes left in the first half. On an assist from Mary Jo Frail, freshman Jerry Ann Smith scored the second Wilkes goal with only 30 seconds remaining in the first half. With 33 minutes remaining in the second half, senior co-captain Penny Bianconi went one-on-one with the Drew goalie and, with a beautifully hard shot to the left hand corner of the goal cage, scored the third Blue and Gold goal. The fimrth and final goal for tqe victors came when Ronna Colvin scored from a cross goal shot sent by Mary Jo Frail. Coach Gay Meyers switched her strategy from a 4-2-3-1 system back to a more traditional five-man attacking line for this game. She explained her move, "We were lacking scoring punch against the big teams so I decided to switch back to the five-man system. It meant changing some positions around, however, it should not only give us more scoring power but also keep us · from being ·beaten with a fast break on defense." Penny Bianconi had the best day of the year on attack. Penny played a key role in setting up the attack and was always in the right position to back up her teammates and send the ball into scoring position. Barb Gorgas also played an excellent offensive game. Freshman goalie Lee Ann Earl had six saves. Two of these were key saves in that they were good stops to preserve the shut-out. Wilkes shot 46 times at goal compared to 10 shots for Drew. , Going scoreless for the entire first half, the WilkesSusquehanna contest was brought to life by Mary Jo Frail who scored the first Blue and Gold goal with 20 minutes remaining in the game. Senior cocaptain Sue A_nn Knight sent a beautiful cross pass to her teammate and Mary Jo had no trouble getting the ball into the cage.

No championships were won. No athlete was named AllAmerican. No recrod was broken. · The significant event was in the form of a ceremony in the lobby of the Wilkes gymnasium. It was in the lobbv that the Wilkes Athletic Department received a check in the sum of ·$3 ,000 for the purchase of training room equipment, a sorely needed commodity in Colonel athletics. The Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Club, the very active local service club, donated the check in an effort to upgrade the athletic health facilities at the college. The club was informed of the need through the cooperative efforts of Wilkes Head Trainer Mike Aed and his student assistant Dave Berman. The check will be used by trainer Aed to outfit the newly constructed training room in the Wilkes gymnasium on South Franklin St. Among the equipment ordered are whirlpool, ultra sound machine, and knee rehabilitation machine, stretcher, and other miscellaneous training room equipment. "The addition of this equipment will make our training facilities at Wilkes on par with any small college in the East. It was a much needed and much appreciated donation by the Kiwanis Club," stated Aed Mike has done a tremendous job in taking over the Wilkes training program. when Karen Killian scored on an assist from Jerry Ann Smith. .The Wilkes defense proved to be a very crucial factor in this game as it kept the Susquehanna By Dave Orishak girls out of the scoring circle for We have now reached the most of the _game. halfway point in intramural Freshman Jerry Ann Smith competition and there has been played the best defensive game of only one change in the WPI poll her young college career.

It is the competition for the Stagg Bowl, but with teams vying for the Bowl with combined records of 210 it perhaps should be renamed the Bathroom Bowl. Hopefully someone will win; certainly both cannot lose . . The Crusaders will have the home field advantage this Saturday but the only significance that it holds is that wheri SU starts coughing up the ball th~y will be booed instead of cheered. The only effect that playing away will have on Wilkes is that when the Colonels start coughing up the ball they will be cheered instead of booed. Playing home or away has seemingly no effect on the consistancy· of ineptitude displayed by either team {Apologies to Cosell.) The ·team that doesn't lose the best will receive the Stagg Bowl Trophy. It is a bronzed hat that was worn by the former famous coach who finished his collegiate coaching career at Susquehanna while he was in his 80's; Amos Alonzo Stagg. Amos Alonzo would probably rather eat his ~t, bronze and all, than watch two teams as glaringly unsuccessful as th~e two desperately try to give each other the trophy. With the amount of turnovers anticipated, the winners would probably fumble the trophy anyway. Susquehanna has momentum on its side. They won last week. Consecutive losses to Westminister, 20-7; Geneva, 13-12; Upsala, 2411; Lycoming, 13-3; Juniata, 20-6 ; and Albright, 48-7 failed to demoralize the Crusaders as they came through with a victory to break their umblemished record. The win came in the hands of Delaware Valley, the only team in the country, with the humble exception of Misericordia's powder puff team, that is worse than Wilkes or SU. So the Crusaders have momentum, a half wav decent offense and not a heck of a lot more. · The SU offensive machine is directed by senior quarterback Hadley Brown. Brown has completed a large percentage of his passes but unfortunately many of them were to the men on the opposing team, 10 of them to be precise. To his own men he has completed only 69 of 160 for 754 yards and 4 TD's. The completion percentage of 43% isn't tremendous but the number of attempts is hefty. His main man is one of the best receivers in the _nation, a man named John Xanthis. He has 39 receptions for 444 yards and 3 TD's, almost single handedly as much as the entire Colonel passing attack. The ground game for the Crusaders borders on tokenism. Paul O'Neill is the leading rusher with 378 yards on 90 carries. They have been averaging around 235 yards on total offense per game, however,if they falter , secret weapon Wayne Lupole will be waiting in the wings. The Crusader defense isn't much to brag about either. They have been extremely pourous against the run, which should delight Colonel fans except for the fact that the Colonels can't run. SU has a veteran defensive backfield, but don't be dismayed Colonel fans because the Colonels can't pass anyway. Susquehanna "little d" has been yielding almost 300 yards a game, so if the Wilkes offense can get the act together they should be able to put some points on the board. The Colonel "Big D" has been simply magnificent. The Wilkes offense has be~n giving up more points than the defense with fumbles and interceptions and other assorted miscellaneous evils deep in Colonel territory. The defensive priority this week will be to stop the Brown-Xanthis connection. They were burned a few times against Albright though the air so this will be a key to vrctory, a seemingly unwelcome stranger to either campus. Colonel Don Patrick struggles up a hill and past a Baptist Bible harrier. These . were the good ole days when the Colonels were healthy and winning. Next week the Colonels will be healthy again. Now the bad news - it's the last week of the season. , BITING THE BULLET - Like most Colonel offensive plays, this one faile<!,. Paul Wengen (81) and Bill Slavoski (8) watch Ed Murray get greamed.

Wilkes College will play host to the 1976 Susquehanna Field Hockey Association tournament this Saturday and Sunday at Kirby Park. Coach Gay Meyers is serving as general chairperson for the two day round robin tourney which will include teams from Bucknell, Bloomsburg State, Susquehanna, Lock Haven, Wilkes, and Center County Club. Each team will play six games. Following the two days of competition, 22 players will be chosen to represent the Susquehanna Association at the. Mideast Sectional Tournament to be held November 6-7 in Rochester, New York. The national U.S. Tournament is slated for November 25-28 at the Valley Forge Military Academy in Valley Forge. Coronary Colonels Give .Coach Ulcers Again, 4-3 ; FDU Victin1 By Eddie White Adding their own splendor to the Homecoming festivities, (even though they were over a 100 miles away) , the Wilkes College soccer team defeated Madison FDU, 4-3, at the latter's field. The Colonels, who might very well be giving Coach Chip Eaton an ulcer, played their sixth game in seven which was decided by one point. The Colone ls , enjoying one of their better seasons in recent years, scored first when sophomore Mario Apuzzo fired a shot passed the FDU goalie. The 5-6, 155 pounder was assisted by freshman Tim Reynolds. Using what Coach. Eaton called, "The wind factor," the Blue and Gold opened a 2-0 lead on a goal by junior Tony Apostolaros. Apostolaros took a pass from ( Does it all) Apuzzo and put it in at the 21 :09 mark of the first half. · After Madison cut the lead in half Apuzzo again scored lo put the Colonels up ·by two. This time junior Dean Evans assisted on the goal at 24 :41. Aposlolaros scored his second goal of the game, which proved to be the game winner , after Madison tied the score at 3-3. Tony was assisted by Len Vekkos . That concluded the scoring for the half a nd the ball game. The defense took over in the second half. Bill Nardone, tfie best defern;e since the polio shot, played his usual great ga me as goalie. "Mr. Defense" garnered 14 saves to give him a total of 144 for the season., With credentials like these he is bound to get post-season honors. Eaton stated, "Andy Dutch and Mark Ritter played the best defensive ga mes of their lives, at a time we really needed it. " He also said, " Panos Kalaritis was his usual great on defense." The Colonels will meet Moravian today at Ralston Field al 3. Coach Eaton said this will be "our homecoming." The Blue and Gold will try to avenge last year's 7-3 defeat al the hands of the Greyhounds. The Blue and Gold will be home again on Saturday afternoon at 2, when they meet the Crusaders of Susquehanna. Altl;ough Eaton is not overlooking Moravian and Susquehanna, he stated the true test for the Colonels will be Elizabethtown, which he sa id is the best in the league. The Colonels are (2-2) in the league and 4-3 overall. THE WINNERS OF THE DANCE CONTEST - Mario Apuzzo takes the lead as he and an opponent do the shuffle. The Colonels, lead by Apuzzo's scoring have been making some sweet music and have something to dance about. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Moran has resigned his position effective Friday, December 31, 1976. He will accept the position of director of public relations and associate professor of communications at the University of New Haven in Connecticut. Moran has been the PR director and a journalism professor at Wilkes since June, 1970. He is also advisor to The Beacon and to the Journalism Society. Asked the reason for his resignation and acceptance of the new position, Moran cited the opportunity for " a greater challenge." He said he will spend extra hours until the resignation takes effect to draft a proposal that wiH make his departure and the transition to a new PR director as smooth as possible. In his remaining months on the job, Moran will also work to set up the journalism courses and internships for the spring semester in a manner that will not obstruct or adversely effect the students education. Moran submitted his letter of resignation to President Robert S. Capin on Wednesday, November 3. According to Moran, leaving Wilkes will not be easy because he started out here. He received a B.S. in education and English from Wilkes and while still a student, he served as the college's first PR director and Alumni Secretary. He . also holds an M.S. in journalism from Columbia University and he has done graduate study in public relations and publicity at New York University. From 1951-53, he was on the editorial staff of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. From 1953-59, he was a sports editor and feature writer for the Wilkes-Barre Independent.During the years 195961, he was officer-in-charge of public information for the U.S. Army Information School and Public Information Officer at Fort Slocum, N.Y. In 1961, he became telegraph news editor and page one makeup ·• editor for the Times-Leader Evening News. From 1965-67, he - in a jet fighter and has been a navigator and Commander pilot. Upon retiring from the Air Force, Aikman decided he wanted to get back into the college atmosphere. Originally born and raised in Iowa, Aikman has always been involved with academics in some aspect. He is not new to college life nor the Wilkes-Barre area. Aikman has called Wilkes-Barre his home for the last 17 years after marrying .a native WilkesBarre resident. Even though Aikman said he has no previous experience with the job of Development Director, he did feel his background with academic and Management Science will help him. He also stated his military career, which allowed him to meet people and travel extensively, will be additional help. Aikman's main concern with the job of Development Director is getting to know the people and economics of the school and community. The post as Development Director is his second career, according to Aikman. "I'm not wearing the same uniform every day," he stated. Aikman also commented there were a lot of similarities between military and civilian lives. "I'm looking forward to the challenge here. I feel development is an integral part of any institution. It's important for the school to have a viable program to tell people who 'we' are and where 'we' are going," Aikman Col. James H. Aikman \ 1• ~~i:~~ A;{!~~~'. he was managing editor of the Wilkes-Barre Independent. In 1953, Moran received the Page One Award from the American Newspaper Guild for feature writing as staff member of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In February of 1970, he was selected as one of 30 U.S. newsmen to be guest of the Israeli Government on a fact-finding tour of Israel. In September of 1970, he was selected as one of six U.S. newsmen to be guests of the South African Government on a 21 day fact-finding tour of South Africa and South West Africa . From 1974 until the appointment of a new development director this semester, Moran also served the college as development director. New Development Director Chosen Col. James H. Aikman, retired from the Air Force, assumed the position of Development Director at Wilkes this week. Aikman served 27 years with the Air Force and was Deputy Commandant and Dean of Academic Affairs for the Defense Information School at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, Indiana. The position of Development Director is a renewal of Aikman's relationship with Wilkes College. In J uly, 1972, Col. Aikman started the Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC ) unit on the Wilkes College campus. During the last six years of his military service, Aikman has been involved with colleges through ROTC units and the Defense Information School. "I like the college atmosphere," Aikman commented. Aikman received · his B.S. degree in Math fr om the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and his Master's degree in Systems Management from the University of Southern California. Aikman's military career has taken him all over the globe. He has served at the Pentagon, and overseas plus Korea and Vietnam, has flown over 5,000 houri: November 4, 1976 said. He believes the success of a product, such as Wilkes College, is having confidence in that product. Aikman does not think his job will be less active than his military career and his traveling all over the globe. "This job will involve traveling, visiting corporations and foundations, that are friends of Wilkes College," he noted. Aikman wants to . reestablish contact with firms and industries , which once contributed money to the College, but have not done so in the past years. Aikman also feels the job as Development Director will not be monotonous. "What you put into it is what you get out of it," he commented. "You've got to get out and see people. I intend to be as busy, if not busier than in the service." The new job is a transition for Aikman, from a commanding position to one in which he is under the leadership of President Capin and the Board of Trustees. "I like Wilkes, the area, the people and I hope I can make a contribution to its livelihood. I'll do my best and let the cards fall where they may," Aikman stated. ·. Thomas J. Moran CC Rap Session · Ignites Spark In Council Reps The Commuter Council meeting last Thursday was marked by a large attendance and heated discussion concerning the enthusiasm of the council. Vice President Barry Pezzner attempted to make the council members aware of its lack of effort to involve themselves in council projects. The criticism resulted in the creation of a committee to coordinate a smorgasbord that will be held next semester in conjunction with IDC. The Christmas party to be sponsored in conjunction with IDC will be held at Gus Genetti's on Sunday, December 12. Arrangements were finalized this week by CC. Pezzner also reprimanded The Beacon for its constant criticism of CC. He noted that neither SG nor IDC had Homecoming displays while CC did. He added that there was no IDC representative at the meeting. A lack of communication was determin~d a major problem with the council. President Dave Chernundolo promised that a list of members' names, addresses, and telephone numbers would be distributed at the meeting. It was announced that the council's absentee policy wou~d be rigidly enforted in the future.

"I was extremely pleased and honored to receive the certification," Abate remarked. "It is a distinctive honor and it is · very gratifying to have been selected." To receive certification as a purchasing manager, which is similar to an accountant receiving certification in the accounting profession, an applicant must score at least a combined total of 70 points in academic, achievement, experience, testing, and contributions · to the purchasing profession. Abate earned 113 points. The National Association of Purchasing Management, a national organization, began offering certification to qualified purchasing managers in October of 1974. As of May, 1976, . there were approximately 4,000 CPM's in the United States. There are presently nine in the ScrantonWilkes-Barre-Hazleton area. Abate has been at Wilkes for 10 years : His duties include supervising the bookstore, purchasing insurance, and overseeing maintenance. He also teaches Accounting 101 in the evening.

In addition to his career at Wilkes, Abate is a member of the American Purchasing Society, the National Association of College Auxiliary Services, the Eastern Association of College and Business Officers, and a past member of · the National Association of Accountants. A former resident of Pittston, the business-purchasing manager currently resides with his wife, Lois, and four sons in south Wilkes-Barre. A presentation will be made to the new CPM at the next meeting of the National Association of Purchasing Management in Wilkes-Barre. "Before you can makl' llll'n doctol's and lawyt•rs you must first make them mt•n ... These were the words of John Stuart. Mill over a century ago. However. in the past ckcade. national statistics cite that more college students an• pursuing marketable trades to gain employment in today ·s careeroriented society . The question of whether a liberal arts education is of any value in a career-oriented society has given rise to a flurry of varied opinion in recent years. It has been argued that in today's fast-paced world one day 's desperate need for physicians may be filled tomorrow. Specialized fields are being filled and overflowed as fast as the snap of a finger . Therefore, it is obvious that the liberal arts education is not a thing of the past, and is necessary to redirect . the overflow of specialists. The Wilkes Admissions Office reported a current upsurge of admissions close to 30 percent, in science and specialty majors m recent years. This percentage is congruent with - national averages. At Wilkes, however, technicians, chemists, nurses, and journalists all are united under a general liberal arts curriculum. "Wilkes attempts to give all students a foundation in liberal education, enabling students to grow in all fields of education" commented Dr. Richard P. Soter, academic dean of the college. Soter went on to say that "courses in the sciences are just as liberating as courses in the humanities, and that ' 1a course in genetics, learning about the science of creation, can not be classified as purely scientific in nature." According to English Professor Leonard Powlick, who was By Patti Reilly speaking about his field, "Majors tell science majors they can't understand the world unless they read Shakespeare, but have they read Einstein?" Both fields of study are relevant to today's wo1ld. Wilkes has maintained its philosophy of a liberal education since its inception in 1946. Wilkes' curriculum, as compared to that of some prestigious liberal arts pace-setting schools, went out of style some years ago. It has recently come back into the height of fashion. The key to a working liberal arts program, in the words of Soter, "is having a faculty vibrant in their fields." This enables the faculty the opportunity of forecasting em- . ployment trends and better helping students adjust their plans in accordance with these trends . ..::~ · Next - semester at Wilkes promises an all-out push in the fields of written and oral communication. The academic dean stated, "The first priority will be a study of the writing laboratory, and the second will be the addition of a communications major; which will encompass broadcasting work." The New York Times in a story, "The Concept of General Education", stated, "The trend toward liberal arts education is reflective of the new academic seriousness that has charac- · terized students in the past few years." It also reflects dissatisfaction with the narrowness of fields, resulting from eased requirements. There appears to be a renewed willingness of faculty to assert academic authority. Colleges throughout the nation are instituting curriculum chan ges, whereby students are required to take a specific amount of foundation courses. The ineptness of secondary schools in the emphasis of basic skills for college-bound students has been cited as a cause for concern. Newsweek magazine stated, "The level of instruction in secondary schools needs improvement in order that students are prepared for the responsibilities of a liberal arts education. " "To whatever end the ultimate value of liberal education is decided it has proven to provide students with sound values and good foundations," Soter explained. "Surely the liberal arts eduation plays an important role in a career-oriented society that need graduates with a background in the art of "survival of the fittest."

IDC No Help F~o~ CC A review of · the IDC-CC Halloween Party was given by Kim Witherow at the me meeting Sunday night. Sbe reported that the party was considered a success but that Commuter Council gave no help no help or any cooperation. Fifteen tickets were sold by Commuter Council members out of .the total of 260 sold. No CC members helped prepare the refreshments or decorate and clean up the gym: Witherow also mentioned that it was questionable whether the Christmas party would involve Commuter Council as planned. Under Old Business, one representative reported that protective screens have not been put up on Barre Hall. She also reported that the only screens installed were to the windows in the room of Gina ()'Brien, Student Government president. 271 Wyoming Avenue, Kingston Joe Marchetti, housing director, said that maintenance had put up all the screens and told the representative to check on it again. A motion to charge five dollars a semester for a dormitory parking sticker was defeated 11 to 10. Al France, IDC vice president, said that applications for the spring semester will be available after Thanksgiving. France also reported that so far this semester there have been 560 dormitory parking lot violations. President Bruce Lear reported that Mr. Abate termed the question of falling ceilings on stereos as a "gray area." Most likely the students Home Owner's Insurance would pay for the damages. Lear went on to say though, that Abate really would not give an answer as to whether Wilkes is responsible for those kind of damages or not.'

The tubs are located about five miles from 'campus off Route 115. According to Dr . Br uce F. Berryman, acting chairman of the envir onmental sciences depar tment , the tubs are ge ological formations which were created by a glacier nearly 10,000 years ago. As a glacier melts, Berryman explained, it results in a stream so forceful it can carry boulders. · Somet1IDes one of those boulders will get stuck and as the water flows around it, it spins and dril~s itself into the bottom of the spring. Thus, a tub-shaped hole is created. The Whirlpool Canyon · has seven such tubs with an average size of 10 feet indiametel"'and 15 feet deep. " What makes them unique," said Berryman, "is that we don't know of any others in the area." "The area has always · been very popular with local residents, especially as a swimming hole," Berryman said. "In recent years, however, the area has been degraded by after hours activities. It has become a dumping ground because of unconcerned individuals in the area who have dumped such heavy litter as refrigerators and washing machines. Writing on rocks and using the area for target practice has also become popular." " It seems as though it's about · to save 1·t to be los t . We are t rymg while we can."

Twelve organizations, including the Northeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the N~ture Conservancy, have banded__together in the coalition. According to Berryman, "The decision has been made that the best way to preserve it is to make it a county park. The land will be bought by the coalition and then given to the county, which will then be in charge of maintaining it." Aslrnd why the county will not help to purchase the land, Berryman said "the county does not have the money." The 375 acres of land will cost $122,000. The coalition is in the process of drafting a proposal requesting a state grant to cover exactly one half of all costs. "The other half," said Berryman,"will be a combined effort of donators of both land and money." The area, sa1'd Berryman; w1·11 be a nature preserve and not a park. " It will not be commercialized. There will be no camping, no boathouses, no· concession stands." Also, it will not be totally closed to the public. It is planned as a limited access area with nature tracks where hiking, backpacking, a nd pienickingwill be allowed. There will also be a pavilion which can be used as an outdoor classroom. It will be complete with black- . boards and an area to show slides. People will also still be allowed to swim in the tubs. Berryman explained the area is being preserved so "those people who want to go there and use it wisely will be allowed to do so." The actual date for completion and opening of the nature preserve is unknown. " It all depends on exactly what th e state does with our proposal and what happens with the current negotiations · with th e landown·eJrs_ ;, The soonest possible time for the opening of the nature preserve, Berryman estimated, would be the summer of 1978 - •.Although many students enter t he Wi lk es - H ahne ma n n cooperative medical education all those who entered the program as freshmen and is keeping track of their program in family medicine, only Whereabouts .

Many students, who had hoped to receive a Doctor of Medicine degree at the end of the six-year period are unable to continue in the program. But these students are not ignored or forgotten at Wilkes.

"There's a natural tendency for students to feel rejected," explained Dr. Rozelle, "but they shouldn't. They are still Wilkes students." "This is our major problem. If we have 40 fully qualified students, and can only take 25, there will be disappointments," he said. Presently, 65 Wilkes students are studying at Hahnemann under the six-year program .- 17 from the · ·first class in the program .; 23 from the second ; and 25 from the third.

The proposal has rec~ived approval from some departments, but the faculty must vote on it as an official college policy. The proposal is being submitted by Academic Committee Chairman Carl Holsberger, who will attend the faculty meeting to defend it. A rough draft of a proposal offering immunity from taking final examinations was also read at the SG meeting. At present the proposal reads essentially that students with an A or a B average, confirmed by the instructor, may elect not to take the final examination. Moods In Leather F YE .BOOTS ~ • a S.

CIJ In one of the most unpredictable presidential elections in American history, Jimmy Carter has been named the next > 0 president of the United States. z The American people kept the pollsters guessing as to the C 0 final outcome all through the campaign. The continually u Ill CIJ fascinating democratic process demonstrated that the Ill American populace is unpredictable. What had been expected CIJ r; to be a poor turn-out at the polls, proved to be better than exIpected. Local polls heralded approximately 20% higher turnouts than were expected. The media seemed to hold the reins of an election victory. Both candidates had their lives intricately delved into, and at one time or another their faces were seen speared over national magazine covers. The only thing that seemed to be withheld about Carter's private life was what type of tooth paste he uses, and even that may be disclosed before his inauguration. It is estimated that only about one-tenth of the population had the opportunity to meet either candidate personally, although the candidates' hectic schedules ·kept them breathless in the past few months. The final decision therefore was left to the image tl\e media sold. Both candidates shied away from the previously used \\) Madison Avenue advertising techniques, and . sold their business to small independent agencies.

But Lee Thomas from Easton, Pennsylvania just keeps riding on to his destination on what appears to be half a bike, but what is in fact a unicycle. "I always take it down to Parrish," he said, "You just bring it in with you and set it somewhere.'' "You really don't have to worry about someone stealing it. If they ever become as popular as say IO-speed bikes, maybe. But if anyone takes mine, everybody else knows whose it is since there isn't another around." Lee first became interested in the art of unicycle riding during his junior year at Easton High School. He picked up a pa_tt-time job as a stage hand in the Lion's Circus. His jobs included being the electrical assistant, setting up the trampolines and trapezes, and the duty most relevant to his riding ability, assisting the clowns. Between acts Lee would pester the clowns for a lesson on the unicycle. "They would just beg me not to hurt myself by falling off or not to break it." His interest became so intense that with his first paycheck from the circus Lee went out and bought his own unicycle. Back in Easton High School, Lee was mainly interested in art. His art teacher, Richard Fox, designed the costumes for the circus. That's how he got involved with the traveling entertainers. But what brought Lee to Wilkes? "The same art teacher is the designer for the sets for the Wilkes Summer Theater Workshop. I participated in that for two summers." This is how Lee became interested in theater, .especially the design segment, and also how he found Wilkes as his school. In high school, with the help of his art teacher, the EnglishTheater Arts major designed the V, JOKE OF THE WEEK: (This is dedicated to all the dedicated Bio majors.)

' Wilkes Debate Union, directed by Dr. Bradford Kinney, to take part in the Twenty-Sixth Annual National Public Discussion Contest being sponsored by Clemson. Wilkes will be competing against the top powers in college and university forensics. The Clemson tournament is unique in a number of ways. First of all, the competition is a discussion, not a debate. Also, the national debate topic is not used. This year the topic to be discussed is: What changes, if any, should be made in the legal definition of death? The tournament is also unique in that it is conducted entirely -through the use of tape recordings. This means that schools will not have to travel to Clemson to compete. Eliminating the costly travel expenses makes it possible for all top schools to enter the tournament without seriously depleting their debate budget. According to the rules of the contest, each school can enter a four or five person unit in the discussion. Each unit will record a 30 minute discussion. on the topic which will then be forwarded to Clemson for evaluation by a judging panel. This panel will consist -of some of the nation's top educators fn the fields of speech, discussion, and small group communication. Once judged by the panel, the best tapes will be entered in the semi-final competition. The winners of the semi-final round will then compete in a national final round to be held in conjunction with the Southern Speech Communication Association convention. The finals will be held in Knoxville, Tennessee, next April. Past winners of the tournament have included such schools as Bradley University, Los Angeles State College, Northern Arizona University, University . of Southern California, · Kent State University, and Wisconsin State University, at both Eau Claire and Lacrosse. This marks the first time Wilkes has been invited to participate in a tournament such as this. According to Dr. Kinney, this means Wilkes College is finally gaining the due recognition of other senior colleges and universities as a major force in debate-forensic communication competition.

Hotel Sterling forfeited to New Riders after they heard about the beating the Riders gave Slocum on Monday of last week. Another excuse used by the Hotel was they couldn't find Ralston Field or was it they wouldn't find Ralston Field. · The other forfeiture came on Tuesday when Dirksen didn't show for their game with Denison. Rumor has it that the Dirksen team had just finished cleaning their spikes before the game and were saving them for the team picture. In the games that we~ played last week, the New Riders stormed over a much weaker Slocum squad 52-0. Bill Manly, the Slocum QJ3 , was interviewed after the game and he stated, "We just had a few bad plays and ii few bad breaks but all in all I thought we played well." It looks as though Slocum misses the powerful running of Nick Holgash in their lineup. In this game the New Riders were awesome on offense. Andy Kresky did a fine job of running the offense and was helped out by Tom Maclntrye, who scored three TD's, and split end Larry Conner, who scored on a touchdown pass from Kresky. In another game, Diaz was defeated by the Chickenhawk squad 12-0. The victors scored early in the first quarter and never relinquished the lead. Diaz brought in some 'ringers' on the defensive line but were still thwarted by the persistent Chickenhawks. The big game for the Chicken hawks will be next_week when they meet STX. The big upset of the week came when Denison lost a close one to Roosevelt House this past Monday. Denison scored first in this contest on a run by Bruce Douglas from five yards out. The extra point was missed by Denison. Roosevelt came back and scored on a ten yard run by Chip Pufko and added two points when Tony D. caught the extra point try in the end zone. · · - " ·• : · - ·· - The winning score came on a freak play in the second half when a pass from center was bobbled by QJ3 Dave Orischak and intercepted by Frank Forte who took it in for the score. Denison scored late in the game on a pass to Kevin Roland, who made a tremendous catcli for the score. Denison's try for two points failed and the game ended with the score 14-12. This is the first game Denison has lost in two years and their only chance for a playoff berth is to defeat the Wild Bunch in a game next week.

Now the bad news: they have another game this week. Amazingly enough after their performance last week against Susquehanna in the Stagg Bowl, the Colonels have another shot at a bowl. It seems somewhat inappropriate but nonetheless true. This week's contest versus Juniata College, along with being televised, will be competition for the sixth annual Anthracite Bo~l. The Bowl is sponsored by the Shawnee Post 463 of Plymouth and is designated as the final home game of the season. The Colonels have won the Bowl every time they have played in it but this time our troopers will be decided underdogs. Juniata is a good football team. They have a 6-2 record but in reality are only three points away from an undefeated season. Losses to Albright by 2 points and Lycoming by 1 have blemished the Indians' slate. Thetr victories have come · at the expense of Indiana State, 38-21; Westminister, 14-7; ·Gettysburg, 20-3; Susquehanna, 20-6; Upsala, 10--0; and Delaware Valley, 20-6. The Indian offense suffered a big blow last week when All-Star quarterback Dave Wichrowski was injured. That injury coupled with the knee injury of their top all purpose back Allen Lipstein two weeks ago will cripple tJ.le Indian attack considerably. Lipstein ·was the Juniata leader in rushing, receiving, and scoring before he was shelved. Taking over the quarterbacking reigns will be untested freshman Wayne Emerick. He had been playing on the J.V. team and has not thrown a pass in varsity competition yet. If there is a weak spot to be explored, this has to be it. The Indians operate out of a Multiple I offense and are a remarkably balanced.team. With the injury .to Lipstein they have turned to two sophomores who have really done a job on the ground. DeWayne Rideout (102426) and Gary Lyter (90-381) are the gentlemen who have helped them rack up 1451 yards on the ground, only about 1,000 more than the Colonels have been able to accumulate. Wichrowski has thrown for over 1,000 yards with his leading receivers being Ed Flynn (20-307-2TD) and Tom Gibboney 04-3192TD). However With Emerick starting his first collegiate game, this should be a key to the victory. The Juniata defense is rather stingy. ·The Oklahoma 5-2 is led by Stu Jackson (MG) and Joe Weimer (DE), both tri-captains. The stalwart in the defensive backfield is Bob Devine who has 7 in; terceptions this season and 10 in his career. They have been giving up only 237 yards per game a nd are extremely strong against the run. Now the Colonels did something last week that not too many teams have been able to do. They made Susquehanna look good, and that's not easy. The Crusaders didn't even have to use secret weapon Wayne Lupole. The only offense the Colonels could muster against the porous SU defense was a 48 yard punt return for a TD by David Brace and the only reason he scored was because the officials didn't see a blatant clip against Wilkes that freed Brace along the sideline. That's not exactly what you would call potent. Good news : the Colonel quarterbacks threw two touchdown passes. Bad news : they were both TD's for SU as the interceptions were both returned all the way. The Wilkes rushing game is so ineffective that if they were given the ball five straight times, they would still be faced with a sixth and one situation, averaging only 1.8 yards per try. Another significant statistic is that the Colonels have run 24 more plays then their opponents and still have accumulated 400 yards less than the opposition. The Colonel defense played relatively well except for two plays ~a 78 yard run from scrimmage for a TD and a 28 yard pass for a TD that was the only pass SU completed all day. The offense gave up more points than the defense did. Unless the Colonels can find some way to score, it is going to be another long afternoon on the Ralston Field gridiron. Maybe i£ the defense stays on the field constantly they can score more than the offense, at least they won't give up as many as the offense gives up. So when Juniata scores, we should kick the ball back to them and ...
