Commencement Format To Include 3 .Speakers This . year's Commencement ceremonies will feature three speakers from within the College, rather than a "big name" speaker as featured in prior years. Each speech will be only five to eight minutes long. Representing the College trustees will be Atty. Joseph J . Savitz, chairman of the board and alumnus of the College. Dr. Charles B. Reif, chairman of the Biology Department and a 25year member of the College faculty, will represent the faculty. Margaret Walczyk, an accounting · major from Endicott, New York will represent the graduating class. According to President Robert Capin, the idea, which was his own, "might well be the beginning of a tradition." He added that a reassessment of the format will be made after the Commencement. Both President Capin and Dean George Ralston believe that a more appropriate and · meaningful message could be delivered by members of the College. Both also expressed .the belief that there is a lot of talent within the College. In the words of Dean Ralston , " We have acres of diamonds. " · Dean Ralston stated that the trend in higher education is along these lines. Because of the nature of the affair, he believes, any good speech is often lost. Unless an opportunity· arises to obtain a very, very significant person. for future Commencement ceremonies, Ralston also sees this new format continuing. As part of the Commencement ceremonies on May 22, Mrs. Ann Liva, a member of the Music Department since 1970, will receive the award of Professor Emeritus. Having developed a nation-wide reputation for piano instruction, Mrs. Liva will retire this year. ·SG Disapproves Of Elections Run By Circle 'K At its Monday meeting, Student Government expressed disapproval of the way Circle K has handled this year's elections. The ·matter appeared . to center around whether Circle K was dependable . Several other service organizations, such as the History Club, Political Science Club, TDR, and the Lettermen's Club, were considered as possible replacements for Circle K next year. The teacher evaluation forms have not yet been sent out. They should be mailed by the end of the week, according to SG President Carl Holsberger. Two hundred dollars was granted to a group of biology students to attend a conference. The Accounting Club received $18. 75 to purchase a bond to be presented to the graduating accounting student with the highest cumulative average. �:: Wilkes Forensics Wins : Quarter Finalists Trophy Biology Road Rally :ii Set _F or Sunday,May 1 OI ~ ~ ~ t- :::: o- 00 ... .:: : Word has just been received that the Wilkes Debate Union's Forensic Unit has won a Quarter Finalists trophy · in the National Individual Speech Events Cassette Tape Tourname'nt hosted by Stetson University, Deland, Florida.

"There was a heavy usage of work study fro':11 JunE: to February. If it had contmued hke that the program would have been out of money completely." · But the program is not out of money completely and the present problem is being solved by a plea to each department to cut down on the usage of work study people and a plea . to the student to cut down on his or her work hours.

According to Raspen, work-study serves two purposes : to provide students with funds and to fulfill the work needs in different departments. Each student in the program is given a maximwn amount of dollars they may earn for the year at $2.00 per hour. They are asked not to exceed 15 hours of work per week. The amount of money fr_om the Federal government coming in in July is expected to match last year's amount but if it does not, different procedures would be taken for the program. Less students would be accepted to the program, those demonstrating the most need for financial aid coming first. Also each participant would -be given less hours.

According to Dr. Turoczi, faculty coordinator of the conference for the last four years, the conference gives students the opportunity to present research in a professional and scientific style such as used by working scientists and researchers. "The students can see how much . they were taught," said Turoczi, "and compare themselves academically and intellectually with other students." Wilkes College hosted the conference twice - in 1958 and 1970. But is has ·also been hosted at Yale; Georgetown University and Boston University. . Turoczi stated, "I'm hopeful that in future years, Wilkes will again host the confe r ence, especially since the acquisition of our new facilities."

The only thing that kept the fabric of SG from ripping was O'Brien's skill at handling the gavel during a meeting. While she was not afraid to have opposing opinions voiced, she also did not allow the members to split into disinterested, isolated groups just because of a disagreement on one issue. The major improvements to the college which were brought about, either partly or completely, by SG included: the placing of the bulletin board in the Common's area, a fairly successful film series, and a successful homecoming. The innovative winter weekend which brought the celebration back to the campus was highly successful. Most of the credit for that belongs to Rosetta Chiavacci and Norm Verhoog. The most popular campus improvement, one that is greatly advantageous to the students, is the library's new five cent copier. Surprisingly, it was over that issue that SG had to fight the hardest. Without that strong sponsorship by SG, it is doubtful we would have a five cent copier. Probably the most important accomplishments are the improvements to SG itself. Meetings were much more or-· derly than in past years. This is in large part because of the efforts of SG members to skill themselves in parliamentary procedure. With the_help of Dr. Bradford Kinney of the English Department, SG took on the appearance of an organized governmental body. · The new constitution, car-efully rewritten and revised, was The PhilQsophy Club of Wilkes ways of overcoming the negative recently ratified by the student College will sponsor an inbody.

Also concerning the funds, SG waited until the last six weeks of this semester before it realized it might be in financial trouble. A more careful watch on the treasury stability should be imposed by ·next year's officers. The final improvement necessary to SG is an end to the apparent disinterest of some ·of its own members, several who are returning next year. These are the people, because of apathy ·or fear, who never voiced a single opinion all year. Because of them, SG did not achieve all it possibly could have achieved. Their silence is the fault of both the students, for electing them, and of SG, for allowing them to be silent. The faith placed in them by those who elected them obligates those members to do more than -vote. They must become actively involved in the decision making process.

Softhall.Tealll Makes Ca1npaign Debut By Dotty Martin The Wilkes College women's varsity softball team made history ilJst week - they played a game. Wilkes met King 's College at the latter's home. field last week and . made history by opening a new women's sport at the college. The girls were not very lucky in their first outing , however, as they were defeated, 15-7, by the lady Monarchs. The fast ball pitching of much experienced Gemma Mehalchick was too much for the Colonelettes to handle. Big hitters for the Blue and Gold in this game were junior Karen Olney who went two for three, both singles; freshman Sue Freda who had three singles for three times at bat ; and sophomore Debbie Yedlock who went two for four with a single . and a double. When Wilkes took to the field for the first time ever, the girls were a little tight and nervous. After the first inning , however, they got down to playing good ball. Coach Gay Meyers commented, " I knew we would make some fielding errors because we hadn't had any game experience and King's had already played three games. I had counted on more hitting, but I think it will get better with eacti game." In the secon~ ga_!Ile of history, Complete Line of Photo Supplies And Equipment 823-6177 36 W.

This was the first horn(;) game for the Wilkes women and, just like they do in the " big leagues", President Capin was on hand to throw out the first ball. Although the female Colonels lost this game, 10-5, they looked much better than they had against King's. Big bats during this contest were Anita Meehan, going three for four with three singles ; Jackie Weindl, four for three, both singles ; and Debbie Yedlock , two for two, bo th singles. Junior Nancy VanKuren deserves much credit for pitching as well as she did in both of these games. Na!}cy was going to be used in relief at first, but injuries to other pitchers forced her to start the games. (from page 8) Hoynak trailed at 167 ( 8Ml2) . The key to the Colonel tournament hopes now appears to be success in the second half of their dual schedule. They have some very tough matches lying ahead. Two. of the matches are against teams that finished in the top five in the MAC 's. Tomorrow is a triangular with Albright and Juniata while Monday brings a dual matchup with Susquehanna. On Thursday, the duffers finish their regular season · with a triangular match with Lebanon Valley and Scranton, only the Colonels second home match of the year. After the schedule is played out, the selection committee goes to work. If the Colonels can stay on the victory road, an 11-1 record with a second place finish in the MAC's will be hard to deny. Selection to the NCAA qualifying tourney will be almost assured. Then the Colonels' second season will begin. All of this, providing they keep winning.

Jim credits much of his success to pitching Coach Bob Duliba. "Ach," a former major leaguer . himself, h~s helped make the transition from thrower to pitcher. His coaching and advice has helped J im cut down on his walks, and still enables him to thrgw his overpowering fast ball for strikeouts. Jim has "thoroughly enjoyed" his fo ur years at Wilkes. He is best of friends with all his teammates, and as co-captain, has helped many of the seven freshmen on the team this year. He serves as the team funny man, and can take the needle fr:om his teammates, as well as give it. Coach Gene Domzalski will be sorry to see the big lefty leave. His current career record of 15-3 has been a big factor in the Colonels' record of 61-19 over the last four years. His service to the ball club has been greatly appreciated, and each and every player who ever went on the field with him, and many people in the college and community wish him the best, and hope to see him the majors in the future.

Xhe- ... co -.......... , ,0 "l\c:rncls~ by jeff acornley I found it interesting to read Lou Rauscher's column last Sunday in the Sunday Independent. But instead of any further mud slinging, let's stop clouding the issue and present the real issues that are at stake. 1 ) The real issue is not whether the act in question was actually committed, but rather whether there is documented proof ·of the incident. The role of the columnist is tha t of presenting facts , not glorified .gossip. If there is proof of the incident, the men in question would have been arrested. I will not print in my column any rumors, especially when the consequences of a criminal offense are involved. I want documented facts . 2 ) The issue of anonymity is also of much importance here. Mr. Rauscher contradicts himself right in his own colunn. In one breath he states that he won't "betray a confidence by identifying 'our source'_" but in his next breatr criticizes that " it's the easiest thing in th_e world in this profession to hide behind a cloak of anonymity. " The hypocrisy is difficult to understand. 3 ) The hypocrisy continues in this next issue. The story that was run in the Independent a few weeks ago concerning the resignation of Wilkes assistant basketball .coach Jim Zardecki had a headline of ZARDECKI QUITS WILKES.

An athlete is one who gives of himself unselfishly to his teammates . and uses his talents in the best way possible. In the opinion of the Wilkes College community, Don McDermott and Mary Jo Fra il best exemplified this ideal during the past academic year, while competing in varsity athletics· at Wilkes. Balloting among 30 of the most respected sports analys ts on the campus was conducted last week and it produced landslide victories for both McDermott and Frail. Coaches, writers , and administrators alike were almost unanimous in their approval. · Ma ry Jo Frail, a freshman from Wilkes-Barre, strutted onto the campus this fall a nd..,,trutted right into the hearts of Colonel sports fa n:, . Her fiery spirit and pixy smile has made her a well known figure · on campus. If not for a broken finger, she would have undoubtedly garnered three varsity letters in her initial year and probably more if . they had let her. Hockey was the first field of endeavor for the sparky freshman. _ Under the tutelege of Gay Meyers , Mary Jo took over the right wing slot and with dazzling stickwork, received Honorable Mention to the Susuqehanna Field Hockey Association Team. As the playmaker guard on the Colonelette basketball team, she racked up 226 points for an average of 10.7 per game. She topped off the season by being named to -the NPWIAA second team All-Star squad. . And finally she was all set to begin the softball season as the Colonelette starting pitcher before a broken finger shelved her for the year . Mary J o was also a member of the championship IM volleyball team . J erry Ann Smith finished second in the voting with Sharon Wilkes, J oanne Englot, Dotty Martin, and Cindy" Glawe all bunched closely fo r the third s lot. Don McDermott, unlike Frail, has been around Wilkes athletics for quite a while. The voters were impressed with Don's leadership ability as well as his athletic prowess. The senior from West Pittston was co-captain of two vars ity sports this year. Don was the bigges t offens ive weapon for coach Rollie Schmidt's · grid squad last fa ll. His bionic toe kept ma ny opponents in the hole and his defensive play from the outside linebacker slot helped keep them there. He was voted ·the MAC "Punter of the Year." Don is also a member of the fa med " Lumber Company" in-the spr ing. Playing a mean first base and swinging a potent and powerful bat, he is a key player in Gene Domzalski's drive to the MAC title and possibly beyond.

John Petrosky followed closely with a 158 (79-79 ) and Bryan Kaptain Ken (continued on page 7) With this being the last Beacon of the current school year, we will have to wrap up our coverage of the Wilkes baseball team in one a rticle. But, at"tlus point the MAC North West Conference _crown has not yet been decided , and the Colonels still have seven regular season contests left. . First of all , the Colonels can probably win the MAC crown outright by sweeping a doubleheader at Juniata this Saturday". Their current conference record is 5-1 while their overall record is 13-2. A sweep against Juniata would give the Colonels a 7-1 final MAC record , and they could do no worse than tie for the championship. However , the feeling in some corners is that if the Colonels continue their winning ways, they will make the return trip to the NCAA Mid East Regionals, even if they don't win the MAC. If the Colonels should lose a doubleheader to Junita, by winning their other five games , they could still finish with a season record of \8-4. Last year they were invited to regionals. with a 17-5 record so a good record coupled with the success of last'" year's team would probably earn them another shot at the World Series. Yesterday the Colonels were in Scranton for a doubleheader against the Royals. On Saturday they will play the big doubleheader against Juniata, Next week, they'll play their final home game against Kutztown on Tuesday , before finishing up on the road against Upsala and Scranton ( for their fifth game of the year with the Royals) . Since the last Beacon, the Colonels have gone 5-1. They swept a conference doubleheader from Albright last Thursday by 16-2 and 8-0 scores. Lef. thanders Andy Kresky and Jim Stehle each picked up a win, as the "Lumber Company" e~ploded again. Ken Suchoski had a home run in each game, while Mike Supczenski, George Kavulich , Don McDermott and Lou Elefante each also hit a home run. Many of the regulars sat out Friday's Allentown game as the Colonels won 10-1 behind the two hit pitching of Dan Pisarcik. The Ursinus game on Monday was a laugher for the Qolonels as they won 22-1. Manny Evans picked up his fourth win with Steve Grasley hur'ling four innings in relief. Terry Schoen and Bill Hockenbury each hit a grand slam, while Bill Pola ha had a solo home rum. The Colonels split a doubleheader with Delawa re Valley on Tuesday. In the first game they got their lowest run output in seven games while losing 6-3 to break an _eleven gam e winning streak. They came ba ck behind Jim Stehle to win the second 'game 114. Schoen hit his second grand slam in as many days to -support Stehle. Jim didn't allow any hits , but was lifted in the last inning because of the bad weather and the lµgh number of pitches he had thrown to protect his arm. So, the Colonels have run their record to 13-2. If they can maintain their winning ways, they have an excellent shot at the World Series again. If they should get there and the pitching and hitting continue, and the defense tightens up a little more, who knows wha t might happen.

Concerning reasons for the failure to gain NLN approval, he said, "Although a number of factors were involveu, it comes us that they would clear up a few things for state accreditation and that NLN liked our program and, would accredite us once we were accredited by the state." The nursing program was approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nurse Examiners but NLN still turned it down. The three students feel that most nursing students are upset that the program is not yet accredited. When asked of their parents' reaction, Student A said that they were " angry in a way and they had doubts that Wilkes would deliver what they promised." Student B stated her parents "have mixed emotions of anger and concern, angry because Wilkes keeps promising and concerned for my education." On the other hand, Student C's parents "realize that it is a new program and will be accredited in time." She did continue to say, however, that as long as she is accepted into a graduate school, her parents will be happy. · Jim Edwards their way" to obtaining that degree at the time of the NLN team visitation one year ago. Soter noted that although the college was aware of NLN requirements, it expected that the League would. c9nsider the then-present qualifications of the faculty as "significant progress." However, the League adherred strictly to the rules and did not grant accreditation. Soter al.so stressed that the college realizes that NLN must uphold standards, but expected it to be more flexible than it was. The provost pointed out that • "while we don't HAVE approval, it doesn 't mean we LACK it. There is clear evidence that the program is a quality program. " He referred to the fact that almost 90 percent of the first graduating class (1976) passed the Pennsylvania State Board exam, and stated that this is the most important thing to consider when evaluating the success and quality of the program. "For purposes of employment, this is the critical area, and it has indicated that we have a quality program." According to Soter the Nursing Department has hired five new faculty members, all of whom are fully credentialled, and he indicated that be "prepared to compare the credentials of the current faculty with any Nursing School in Pennsylvania." In addition, the department's , physical facilities have been declared by both NLN and the State Board to be "the best they've ever seen."

All graduates of the program, both present and future , reportedly will benefit from the accreditation. "In effect it is retroactive," said Soter. "All graduates will be covered by the accreditation when it .is officially awarded. '' He commented that although the department has "suffered a temporary setback, it has no effect on the quality of the program. " He also praised department chairperson Ruth McHenry for her diligence and dedication, , Wilma Hurst On the Cover (Murphy's Law Part II) "If all your profs can give the first semester test on the same day, they will."

Sleep Inducing ·; ·But Makes Worthy Attempt National surveys taken during the past few years reveal that an increasing number of high school students lack the necessary grammatical and rhetorical skills for effective writing. Upon entering college, such students find the adjustment to college academics even more profound than if they were moderately proficient in writing . . Recognizing the seriousness of this problem, Wilkes has an attempt to remedy the situation. by establishing a writing lab for its students. The lab has been in effect for three years and is under the supervision of Dr. Patricia Heaman. Dr. Heaman said that the lab is a service available to all students and offers advice and assistance to anyone with a writing problem. During its first year of operation, the writing lab operated on a tutorized basis. It is only during the last ..two years . that specialized equipment has been made available, mostly through a federal grant. The lab contains four booths equipped with audio-visual machines. Cassette tapes provide study lessons which specialize in many areas of grammar and rhetoric, and filmstrips which provide visual aid. The lab also contains a selection of handbooks · and workbooks, most of which were donated by ipstructors in the English Department. Dr. Heaman stated that approximately 100 students are currently using the lab facilities on weekly basis. The lab is part of the required coursework for any student taking English 100. a Other students may be recommended by an instructor or may visit the lab on a voluntary basis. Dr. Heaman noted that the lab may also be useful to those student writing job applications and applications for graduate school. Tutors in the writing lab are junior and senior English majors usually recommended by a member of the English department. This year's group includes: Nancy Kozemko, Carol Kosik, Sandra Richelmi, Glenri Bradley, Lynn Sare, Jerry Ross and Jacky Boyle. Jacky commented that wqrking in the lab can also be an asset to the tutors; working with the students in their problem areas, the tutors are able to recognize their own areas of weaknesses and improve upon them. The writing lab is open Monday through :I"hursday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., SG----------"- New Reps Introdueed The newly elected Student Government representatives were introduced to the body at Monday's night meeting. Dave Blumfield, class of 1980; Jack Mundy, class of· 1979; and Dave Evans, class of 1978, were elected as replacement representatives in an election turn out that Carl Holsberger, SG president, ter_. , med as "wasn't bad". Approximately 50 seniors, 25 juniors , and 40 sophomores voted. Under committee reports, the film committe_e reported that 349 people attended the showings of "The Longest · Yard": The committee collected $87.00 in admission fees and was pleased with the turnout. A change in the film schedule was also reported at the meeting. The film "The Front" ;will,._be shown tomorrow night in the 1::PA at 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. instead of October 1 as shown on the calendar. . The social events committee reported that the date for the winter weekend has been set for the Jan. 28-29 weekend. A movie will be scheduled for the weekend along with a mini-concert. Also planned is a volleyball tournament and a bingo game. Further plans will be announced later on in the semester. Only two fund requests were made at the meeting. The Chorus received $60 to send 4 people to participate in the Inter Collegiate Chorus Festival. This event will be held October. 13-15 at Lock Haven State College. The Hockey Club requested $1,500 to pay for expenses that will enable them to participate in the North Eastern .Pennsylvania Hockey ·League; Debate over the request was held to ten minutes and will resume .at next week's meeting. A SG executive council meeting will be held before the meeting to discuss this request. Last year SG granted the Hockey Club $1,100 for• expenses. It was reported that money and books may still be picked up ·at the SG office in Weckesser Hall from the used bookstore. Students only have two more weeks to pick up their money and books. · ..................... ················ ..... ·····••.•··· ............ ·-·.

She suggests that a student wishing to use the lab call ext. 395 prior to his first visit. as this will enable her to prevent the lab from becoming overcrowded. The writing lab is an excellent facility designed for students to help them better their writing skills. However, there remains one piece of advice; the writing lab is not a miracle worker. Its services are designed to assist students, but the rewards come only to those ·. students who are willing to work toward their goal. Reenie Corbett Faculty Piano Recital Preiented By Haberkom The Music · Department of Wilkes · College recently presented • Michael Haberkorn, assistant professor of music, in a faculty piano recital. Haberkorn opened the recital with Felix . Mandelssohn's "Variations Seriei.tses. " This set Of variations is · Mendelssohn's attemptto match the high calibre of Beethoven's variations. The program continued with Arnold Schonberg's · - " Three Piano Pieces," Opus 11. Alexander ·Scriabin's "Sonata in FSharp Minor" completed the first half of the recital. The second half of the recital began and ended with two masterpieces of Frederic Chopin. Haberkorn performed both the "Ballade in G Minor" and the "Ballade in E Minor." Both of .these ballades were inspired by poems cif the ·Polish writer, Adam Mickiewicz. · Nestled between the two ballades were two .pieces by the virtuoso pianist, Franz Liszt, ' \En Reve" and "Nuages Gris". They reveal · the · reserved, compact, ·• emotional side of Liszt's last years as a composer and conductor . . By Lynn Sare " Insomniacs Anonymous," the werewolf club of Wilkes College, was officially dissolved Friday night in the SUB. Club officials announced its discontinuation immediately after .the " Legs of Wilkes " contest at which the student chapter of the American Institute of Biological Sciences ( A.I.B.S.) discovered a new soporific. They revealed that leg-watching is . moresleep-inducingthan counting sheep. Henceforth, " Insomniacs Anonymous " will defer itself to the new " Leg-Watchers" club. The old " Leg-Watcher" club will continue to meet in the bushes in front of Sullivan Hall at dusk. However, the A.I.B.S. should be commended for a worthy attempt to bring students together for fun which doesn't require a beer mug. The leg show had many noteworthy features: it introduced the " Wilkes Walk" by a shapely, mini-skirted blonde representing the Human Services Committee who walked to first place ( or the head of the shoe ) ; it added a new program to the Wilkes schedule entitled, " Face the Kneetion," featuring Dr. John E. Erikson, first runner-up· it fashioned the unisex clog, th; most popular style modeled by Mario Appuzo, secondrunner-up. Appropriately ''Gypsy"-like, the music appealed to the auditory sense ; a unique panel of judges was introduced ( hopefully , their a cademic judgments are more consistent); various delectable m unc h ies scr u m p t u ously satiated preliminary partiers. Dr. Lester Turoczi, emcee of the contest, was given an opportunity to rehearse for class. Prior to the competition, in a plot to see if the master could swim without a script, Dr. Turoczi was asked to make some extemporaneous, anticipatory remarks. He remained true to form in commenting, " I'm relieved at not having to be a judge because I have 20-200 vision, although I could have come to " grips" with the situation. I'm happy to see that the AIBS have selected an appropriate biological theme to kick off their new edition of the Wilkes roster. " Although " Legs of Wilkes" will doubtfully be first on the list of Wilkes best entertainment offerings of the ·semester , it brought a nice crowd of people together for a jocose evening of legs and other hairy exhibitions.

The subject of the maintenance department was brought up at the meeting, and it was reported that the department is going to work in each dorm individually so that all problems will be taken care of. Concerning the washing machines, it was announced that washers were operating for free because a batch of faulty laundry tickets caused both washers and ticket vendors to malfunction.

The reading, scheduled for 8:00 p.m. in Stark Learning Center room 101, is open to the public. Kinnell writes an exciting intense poetry - as Patrick Keane says in "The New Republic. " He poses the most anguished human question of .all : " Is it true the earth is all there is, and the earth does not last?" Novelist and translator as well, Kinnell is the author of many books. They include "What a Kingdom It Was" , "Body Rags" , "Black Light" , "The Book of Nightmares" , a translation of Rene Hardy 's novel "Bitter Victory", and translations of poems by Yvan Goll, "Lackawanna Elegy." Born in Rhode Island, in 1927, Kinnell attended Princeton University and the University of Rochester.

The college r adio station, WCLH has been undergoing a period of transition, with a new advisor, a new name, a new look, and most importantly, some new ideas for the future. The station will henceforth be known as the "WCLH Commun, ' tion Corporation" and its main goals will be, "to train students in broadcasting and communication arts," and, " to braodcast quality publicnoncommercial programming for the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania." Suprvising the reorganization is Thomas Beck, the station's new advisor, who was hired by the college in his capacity as a professional broadcaster and who is also teaching broadcasting this semester. All this is partly in preparation for some new equipment, including a new transmitter, which will arrive in the spring. The new transmitter will increase the station's power to 2,000 watts (it is now at 175 watts), and will enable it to reach a potential one million people. "Our signal will reach the New York border, the New Jersey border, as far west as · Williamsport, .and as far as Bethlehem in the est;'' Beck stated. Other new additions will arrive sooner, including some new furniture · and a · teletype machine from the Associated Press Wire Service supplying 24hour-a-day news service all year round. WCLH has completely shut down for two weeks while its . members ,Edertook a massive clean-up prcject. The studio, on the third .floor of Darte Hall, now hardly l,6oks the same as it did a year ~o. But according to Beck, these . outside improvements are just the beginning. The most im,Sortant change will be in attitude and atmosphere, and )Srofessionalism in the key word. All station personnel, 25 old members and :W new ones, will undergo a training period to obtain broadcasting licenses or to have old ones renewed. Mr. Beck has put together an 80-page training manual for this purpose. Every member will be trained in every facet of station work and everyone must pass a test before being allowed to broadcast. Besides being an instrwnent of community service, the station will also be a learning center for the students who work there.

They come in all shapes and sizes with different moods a nd · temperments .. They pay taxes, raise families and come to wor k trying to share their expertise with you. They are human beings and have their good and bad moments. During your tenure at Wilkes College, you will be assigned an Academic Advisor to guide you. Generally, you will be assigned a faculty member within your area of study. If you are undecided, you will be assigned to an administrative advisor.If for some reason you don't have one of these gems, see the registrar for the appropriate form to acquire one.

Generally advisors spend more time in their office suffers from this problem, but it is perhaps the than the college requires. only one to have a chance to do something about it. The Widest Gap There Is The Nursing Department and its students seem to be at odds with one another, but this particular issue, involving the alleged misleading of students, may be merely the surface of another ~ !em. , lt is not our intent to judge who is right or 0:Wrong in the issue at hand, nor whether either ,, side actually is completely justified in its actions. Our taking such a position would only lead to recriminations, denials, and worst of all, no solution. Besides, each side can probably claim a certain amount of validity for its arguments. But we will not ignore this specific problem or its causes, which we believe to be the real issue·. The fact that a great deal of confusion, frustration, and ultimately, anger succeeded in surfacing indicates that there is. something obviously wrong in the department. I.t appears that there is a lack of meaningful, honest cbm- • munication between the department and its students. These students do not feel the department has been honest with th~m and that it does not want to take the time to fully explain the situation that has arisen. A number of nursing - stud<'nts have complained that they could never ·· get straight answers to their questions or that they did not feel they could ever approach someone in the department. i t is obviously this attitude that has ca(Jsed students to harbor feelings of discontent and disillusionment. Concert :Chairmen Offer Views To The Editor: As chairmen of · the Wilkes College Concert Committee, we feel a need to respond to the editorial which appeared in last week's issue of The Beacon. To begin, we recognize the fact that a concert is the type of event that will never satisfy every musical preferance on- campus. Every person has his own "monster" performer, With this in mind, the Concert Committee must find the performers who draw the largest amount of students within the Wilkes College -student body. Granted, to .. an overall audience, including: high school ·students and other non-campus individuals, a name such as Barry Manilow is considered "better" than l'he Outlaws, Dave Mason or Pure Prairie League. However, to the Wilkes College student bcJy, he is not. This is evidenced by these figures : on Oct. 11, 1975, Barry Manilow drew 561 Wilkes College students STAFF Editor in Chief . ..

Here she meets a host of other characters including, Winifred the Waddling Goose, and Thumper Rabbit. As the tale f)rogresses the animals prepare a birthday party for the Old Owl. The story ends with the owl, who is deeply touched . by being remembered, and the other animals gazing up at the iridescent stars glowing in the night sky. Thamsin has used the beautiful · artwork to decorate stationary and cards, and has written some poetry to accompany them. The illustrations require approximately four or more hours of work and are a mixture of watercolor and pen and ink . For a time Thamsin taught art at a free school, which has · an unstructured curriculum, to 200 children who ranged from nursery school to second grade levels. She lived for a time on the Hawaiian Island of Maui, on the California coast, and has travelled through New England and Canada. Thamsin ran the art campaign for Senator George McGovern's presidential campaign in New York state, particularly on Fire Island, and also worked for a time with Senator Hart of Michigan. her kitchen mixing the ingredients for a cake. In another scene, a group of starry-eyed animals stand in a wooded grove, gazing up in wonder at the stars. In still yet another scene, a brilliantly-colored jungle provides the background for another assembly of animal inhabitants. The talented artist responsible for the creatiow of these illustrations is Thamsin Bowes, a junior fine arts major. Thamsin ( whose name is the Scotch-Irish feminine form for Thomas, and is pronounced Tam-sin) hopes "through illustrating and perhaps writing, to create books that might entertain and educate children and adults." The colorful and detailed . illustrations are a mixture of Thamsin's own "ideas, imagina tion , fascination, and they combine realism with fantasy." Anthropormorphic is nature, their function is to spark the imagination. They are like the creatures brought to life in Beatrix Potters', "Peter Rabbit" and Maurice Sendaks' "Juniper Tree." -e;:==========~==~j ~ Added Flavoring The Thamsm's interest and im. pro\'._ement with art began a long time ago. After developing a childhood interest in art, which was furthered at the Madiera Boarding School near Washington, D.C., she studied at other art schools including Simon 's Rock, Massachusetts and Franconia College in northwestern New Hampshire. While in New Hampshire, she began writing and illustrating 1'The Stargazers." Feature Page ~=========~~=~ Thamsin Bowes "I seek to integrate whatever learning I am exposed to in order to create not only a useful, but rewarding lifestyle." Her thoughts on art are similar. Thamsin believes that "for one to be an artist there should be an appreciation-respect and contact with all fields of art. To become adept in one field is fine, but one · must not limitthe self in terms of isolation within that subject, but develop an awareness of subjects." Thamsin is considering working with animation in films in the future. She enjoys working with children because "their minds are open to learning." Thamsin feels that art programs in the elementary schools should be made better. "Art is an excellent outlet," she reflected, "When a child looks at something, he does so with more sensitivity and awareness." Thamsin is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie Conyngham. At present she lives with her husband Malcolm in a brick farmhouse in Lehman. Mary Stencavage Student Voices Concern Over •rreemania' To The Editor: I am presently a senior at Wilkes. and never before in my three years here nor ever in my life have I noticed such madness as the "treemania" that now grips the campus. During the last week, I have noticed the following examples of "treemania. " 1. Daniel Miklander's letter to the Beacon. 2. A student sitting in a tree reading a book. 3. Another student in a tree making a campaign speech. He was running for President, the tree was his vice presidential running mate, a nearby bush was. · running for treasurer and a tree stump was running for secretary. 4. Numerous signs promoting the "Tree Club." 5. Students talking to trees about politics and sports. £. Students talking about"trees "oaks are nice but I wouldn't let one marry my sister" 7. A student conducting a tour of the tree jail - in the courtyard of Stark. The trees that have She describes her personal philosophy as a ''strong belief in_ the pursuit of learning. There is no limit to the .dimensions of "high consciousness" - one's awareness of reality," she said. fences around them are actually in jail for various offenses. 8. A "For Rent" sign on a tree. 9. Students smoking magnola leaves and the price of an ounce of magnola reaching fortydollars. , 10. Finally, I saw a student hugging a tree and discussing future marriage plans - he wanted to have saplings of his very own. I am not sure what started treemania but I wonder if it will spread throughout the country. Thanks , Chris Daryl THE RING MAN IS COMING Thursday & Friday September 29 & 30 10 A.M. - 3 P.M. Wilkes College Bookstore DISCOVER ILFORD BLACK & WHITE AT Mind Designs~' By Pam Long . -~- "' Really, what some people ·won't do for money! Ne~ertheless, it seems greed might just be getting another chance m this world, and "Smokey and the Bandit" is one hilarious illustration! . The s tory revolves .around two very cunning opportunists whose antics are or'side-splitting origin. Together the notorious Bandit <Burt Reynolds) and his sidekick Cleotus (Jerry Reed) proceed on a mission to ultimately "do what they say can't be done." The pair become engaged in a bootlegging scheme to haul 400 cases of beer in a nticipation of the amiable sum of $80,000 "for glory, for fun .. •.mostly for fun and for the money." (Of course !. ) Thus the Bandit, in a suped-up Trans Am, and Cleotus in an elaborat~ly decorated 18-wheeler accompanied by one droopy-eyed Bassett (alias "Fred"), proceed and the fun begins. . : . Not too far ahead Bandit encounters a bnde abandomng a wedding (Sally Field). She describes her occupation as a "professi?nal dancer" ( much as Bandit designates his as "show off') and acqmred the nickname "Frog," compliments of the Bandit. The two ultimately become a team. Farther on behind the heroes, in hot pursuit lurks a man whose ultimate lot in life ( or so "he" thinks) is to represent the ep~t~me of justice. Ironically enough the same turns out to be a Texas sheriff and pompous buffoon, Beaufort T. Justice (Jackie Gleason) . He appears as a colossal representation of the stereotyped southern _law man. It seems the Frog, in a display of "pure old fashioned communism" has deserted .Justice's son's wedding, and the man wants some answers indeed ! All in all, Bandit cruises along at 110 miles per hour with Cleotus at the back door and an enraged smoke:x bear taking up the rear ! The pursuit encompasses a wide variety o( circums~nces, drops in on one county mounty in the process of a 10-100 (which shall not here be described! ) and ultimately encourages countless numbers of Texas bubble-gum machines to end up in the drink, in what Beaufort T. describes as "a complete lack of respect for the law." The episode presents a marvelous exhibition of untiring determination on the part of both the pursuer as well as the "pursuee." It also reveals the sheriffs imcompetence ·in apprehending his suspe~ts when Smokey and the Bandit come face to face in a restaur~nt_(ahas "choke and puke") . Beaufort T., ignorant of the fact that he is mdeed conversing with the culprit, literally "showers" ~im w!th p~esent opinions of his latest pursuit. Bandit and Cleotus still persist with the assistance of various good buddies along the way, the Frog and a serenade of banjo pickin' tunes by Jerry Reed. A moment of dismay befalls the team when a chopper takes to the air, but in the rig, Cleotus (and Fred !) succeed in bringin' 'e~ on back. They are hailed by a great reception along with several tnumphant remarks from the mascot ! The final finds the befuddled Beaufort T. Justice "still" in pursuit of the hero, ultimately revealing that a law man's work, or at least "this" ones, is indeed never done! 104 ! Best Buys In Town!!

The MAC Northern Division is one of the finest smallcollege leagues in the country in the opinion of many, with the champion almost certain to ~et a bid for the national platoffs. ALBRIGIIT - The Lions roared to the division crown for the second straight time last season with an unblemished 6-0 mark. They will definitely be the team to beat again this fall. They are returning all but nine lettermen from last year's squad, including six All-MAC performers. The Lions are currently 2-0, using victories over Franklin & Marshall and Lycoming to get out of the starting blocks on schedule. They will be tough to replace as champions. _ LYCOMING - Tne Williamsport school, who are the Colonel opponents this Saturday, have returned 17 of 22 starters. Last season they were the surprise of the MAC, registering an 8-1 record and ranking second in the nation in total defense and first against the rush. Returnees include one All-American and six other All-MAC standouts. Their offense is a big problem as their 1-1 record shows . . ·· They were victorious in the opener against Dickenson but dropped a 16~ decision to Albright last week to put a giant dent in their title hopes. The Warrior defense, however, can keep them close and they are not out of the title picture yet. JUNIATA -The Indians were only three points away from an undefeated season until they rode into Wilkes-Barre last season and were beaten by the Colonels in a TV game. They are currently 0-2 with losses to Indiana State and Westminister. Both are strong teams, however, and the real test will come when they play Albright on Saturday. They have lost some key offensive people including an AllMAC quarterback and have only scored 7 points thus far into the season. Both losses are non-conference, but the Indians better get their offensive act together if they expect to be a factor in the title chase. SUSQUEHANNA - The Crusaders always seem to be a year away. They have some quality players who have returned this season but seem to lack the leadership necessary for a big winner. They beat Johns Hopkins in the opener last week, 20-12. But don't look for them to play any role other than the spoiler. UPSALA - The Vikings have come a long way during the last few years and posted a 6-3 record last season, led by the nations 11th ranked defense. Despite the return of 29 lettermen, they are counting on too many young players. Like Lycoming, the offense isn't much to write home about, but the defense will keep them close. DELAWARE VALLEY - Hapless is the only word to describe the Aggies. As football players, they make pretty good farmers. They hav e 26 returning lettermen back but that is probably more of a liability than an asset. They dig in this week ·a·g ainst Moravian and their 18 game losing streak isn't in much jeopardy. Colonelettes Prepare For Saturday's Opener Coach Gay Meyers ' field hockey team gained some valuable game experience last week winning two exhibition matches. With ten freshmen among the twenty girls on this year's roster, experience is the only missing ingredient. The girls looked good in their 7-0 win over the alumni and 3-1 decision over the Wyoming Valley Hockey Club. More important than the score, however, is the fact that every member of the team played in these matches. Coach Meyers is still working to complete a starting line-up as Marie Elko and Julie Kerrick are vying for the attack spot still open. . . Monica Krammer and Mary Jo Frail have looked good and are expected to do a good job for the team. Jean Johnson will once again provide the center point in the defense, a nd goalie Lee Ann Earl has been sharp in the exhibitions. It appears that she has rec-evered from her operation, but Mrs. Meyers stressed that knee operations are tricky and time will have to tell. The major problems that will hinder the team this season are depth and scheduling. With only 20 girls out for the team there is not enough depth and injuries will really hurt. The schedule is not in the Colonels' favor either. The team must play four of its hardest opponents early in the season. These four are Albright, Kutztown , Lafayette, and Bloomsburg. Lafayette has a very strong tea m and Bloomsburg is enjoying the luxury of 17 returning .letterwomen. The one scheduling factor that is beneficial is that the final six matches of the season are at home. The final match of the season will be tough as a very strong Bucknell team comes to town. The team is ve ry young, so the tough matches at the beginning will be an exceptionally difficult test. By the· end uf the season, • though, the team should be playing good hockey.

The Colonels defeated King's, 15-50, last Saturday at Ralston Field. It was the first regularly scheduled men's contest between the two city schools in over 25 years, although the Wilkes basketball team did play King's in a tournament a few years back, and the Colonel and Monarch women's team,s have met each other in Northeastern Pennsylvania Women's Intergollegiate Athletic Association action. Freshmen sensations Danny Thomas and Ed Eppler ran together throughout the race and both finished first with a time of 29 :01 on the 4.9 mile course. Enroute to the victory, Wilkes captured the first nine places. Davenport stated that Vince D'Amato, third place, 29 :48, and Don Patrick, fourth place, 30: 10, "were great surprises, and with their success Wilkes can now look forward to big and better things." Finishing behind those four Colonels, were Dave Kerek 30: 10 ; Jeff Davis 30:22; Roger Davis 31:18; Dan Rittenhouse 31:40 and Pete Kowalchick 31: 54.

Eddie White IM F oothall Preview· Intramural football season is already upon us, and hQpefully this year won't be quite as boring as last season was. Scanning over our initial pre-season scouting reports Which come direct from Jimmy the Greek, we are already able to see that a few teams have emerged as favorites. In the Eastern Division, defending champion "The New Riders"are back, and boasting a renowned defensive line made up of "Mean Joe" Mullarkey, "Bubba" Larioni, and Ken " Too Tall" Gompertz. These three have caused so much confusion in the pl:l_st three years that they have earned the title of " The NotSo Fearsome Threesome." In the defensive backfield for the Riders, Bill Polaha will o'nce again be roaming the weeds at. free .safety. Polaha became notorious last year for a vicious type of tackle that he calls "the one hit bong." On offense, Andy Kresky will once again be throwing passes and forgetting plays. The New Riders are picked first in the East ahead cif such worthy opponents as the Chickenhawks and STX II. In the West, Miner Hall should sweep easily through the regular season. Assistant coach John Forte is pleased with the .progress of his troops and offimistically reports that "We're small, but we're slow." Competition for Miner could possibly come from either the "Studs Inc." or the Smegmas. The former is under the · direction of (you guessed it) Chip (Sonny) Pufko, who reports that .his strong points this year will be defensive tackle Rick "The Enforcer " Caro, and last season's winner of . the Sportsmanship Award, · free safety Barry Zoppo. Zoppo was the lone sophomore last season to make the All-Il)tramural Football squad. Miner and the Studs will probably battle it out for first and third place, while the Smegmas will almost certainly finish second. · · GRID BITS:Ai1y girls wishing to try out as a cneerleader for this spring's Dennis Phelps Fan Club softball team should contact this year's "tri-captains," Debby Fortini, Nancy Enderien, or Karen Prigge ...

The Colonels dropped the first three matches, before co-captain Sally Steele defeated Jo Ann Raineri .6-0, 6-1, to get the ball rolling. Reenie Corbett outlasted Louise Bond, 6-2, 1-6, 6-2, to pull Wilkes within one. The doubles team of Linda McGwire and Janice Wolf tied the match at 3-3 with a 6-3, 1-6, 63, win over Carol Monteveroe and Nancy Luteron. Judy Bellas and Rosie McMahon garnered the game winning point with a 6-3, 7-6 victory over Mary Pascale and Donna Brenner. In exhibition play, Debbie Welliver and Joy Orwsby defeated Jo Hamm and Rose Cannorillo, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. The lady Colonels record dropped to 1-2 on Monday with a 8-1 loss at the hands of Bucknell University. Garnering the only win for Wilkes was Laura Canfield, who beat nationally ranked Janice Huber, 6-2, 6-4. The Blue and Gold of Coach Sandy Bloomberg will get its first MAC league test on Tuesday, when the Colonels travel to Scranton to meet the Royals at 3: 30. Eddie White NOTICE Any student interested in joining either the men 's or women's swim teams should contact e.ither Maris Solomon in Susquehannock Hall ( ext. 402) or Cindy Glawe in Chapman Hall ( ext. 420) as soon as The Wilkes College soccer team opened its season with a slight case of first game jitters as they fell victims to a 4-1 setback at the hands of Upsala last Saturday at East Orange, N.J. Wilkes had a slow start and found themselves at a 3-0 deficit at the end of the first half. Two All-Conference hooters, Terry Parker and Jim Fleming were responsible for all the damage, scoring two goals apiece. Junior co-captain, Mario Apuzzo was the only Colonel to score, hitting the nets mid-way through the second period. Coach " Chip" Eaton was pleased with the performances of sophomore fullback, Nick Golowich, senior halfback, Steve Kinback and junior reserve forward, Mark Toole. Yearling, Cliff "Kip" Brautigan did a fine job as goalkeeper, making a total of 16 saves. The Blue and Gold had some bright spots and stimulated many offensive threats, but were only able to score once out of 26 goal shots. Upsala made four of 21 tallies count. Coach Eaton said, "We recognized our weaknesses and will be working very hard in practice this week, to try and rectify our mistakes before meeting Bloomsburg this Saturday.''

Science Departments To Hold Science Expo On Saturday In SLC The College science depart· ments will play host to area high school students this Saturday when "Science Expo '77'' is held on the campus. Nine departments will present a day-long program designed to introduce high school juniors and seniors to a science curriculum on the college level. This will be accomplished through· tours, dis· plays, demonstrations and firsthand experiences with scientific methods and apparatus. Wilkes students majoring in biology, chemistry, computer science, e~gineering, environ. mental science, mathematics, nursing, physics and psychology will play a large role in the day's activities, 'as they conduct tours and demonstrations. Dr. Lester Turoczi, chairman of the Biology Department, is serving as coordinator · for the expo. . He noted that the science expo is t1-n updated version of the science fairs which were held at Wilkes over the years. The event has been tabbed as being both a "fun and educational · experience," as free refreshments and prizes will be offered. Concert & Lectllre Series Begins With Steel Drums The Concert and Lecture Series gets underway this Sunday at 9 p.m., when it presents a concert by the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Drum Band in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts (CPA).

Johnstown Taskforce Seeks Students · To Assist Operation Darte Hall and CPA experienced some water in the lower levels this past Monday due to the large amount of rain that fell in this area. According to William Gasbarro, chairman of the Music Department, the water entered the building through drains i,n the lavatories. The water was discovered at 6:30 a.m. on Monday. AU equipment and paper work located in the basement of Darte Hall was moved to higher floors. Only three grand pianos were left in the basement. Stu~enl:' in the Music Department helped by moving 15 pianos, percussion instruments and the choral library from the basement. Gasbarro stated there was enough water to cover the floor but that it had not accumulated to any depth. ' Students from the Music Department were also sent over to help the CPA staff move anything in the basement of the CPA to higher levels. The Wilkes College Taskforce · for Johnstown has six more weekend trips scheduled to help the people of Johnstown. Volunteers are needed to help with the cleanup work. The Taskforce is appealing to the student body to offer some assistance in these cleanup operations. The cleanup forces leave from Darte Hall on campus on Fridays at 5 p.m. and return to the campus Sunday at 6:30. p.m. William Gasbarro, Takforce coordinator, stated students need working clothes and boots for the weekend's activities. J Arrangements for meals and sleeping are at no cost to the volunteers. · Anyone interested in helping with the cleanup operations in Johnstown is asked to contact Gasbarro at Ext. 340; CC President Louis DeRobertis; Tom Bazzirii, IDC president; or SG President Carl Holsberger. different sections of the heads of the drums, the band members are able to produce various sounds and chromatic scales. On several of t he band's engagements, audiences have been known to swarm up to the stage almost en masse, just to get a look at these ' unusual "instruments" and the techniques the band members use in playing them. The Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band has played Rockefeller Plaza, Central Park and Lincoln Center Hall in New York City, t he Pan American Union in Washington, D.C., and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. It has given two command performances for the Queen of - Englp,nd and for the last three Presidents of the United States. It received a Grammy Award in 1972 and the Humming Bird M_edal, the highest musical award in Trinidad. It has made eight straight World's Fair appearances, not to mention countless engagements at colleges, private clubs and conven· tions all over the country on the extensive tours. Almost every engagement has been played to standing room only audiences and has received standing ovations.

For instance, there is studying in the rooms ..... Golfing in the hall ..... The Hotel Sterling, located directly across from Parrish Hall, has been used as a dormitory for Wilkes students for the past three years and with favorable results, according to Joseph Marchetti, director of Housing, and .leanne Conway, Housing assistant. The "dorm" takes up six floors of the hotel from the third to eighth floor and houses 105 students - 50 female and p5 male students. The students live in unoccupied rooms, mixed in with regular and transient residents of the hotel. "Most of the students are freshmen and transfers, but there is a small amount of upperclassmen," Marchetti stated. Students living in the hotel call their dorm the "Largest Dorm on Campus" and have basically the same lifestyle as those living in regular dormitories. There is an IDC representative and officials for the dorm. Dorm meetings, j - - -1 J " ,.I I And of course, weekend parties [Or is it Halloween practice?] ..... · however, are held in a very posh setting, the Crystal Ballroom. The students will have Homecoming functions and have intramural teams like any other dorm. Originally, the hotel was thought to be a ''.bad atmosphere" for students, but Marchetti points out that things have worked out all right and that the hotel has cooperated in making students feel at home. "After the regular dorms are filled, the overflow is assigned to the hotel," Marchetti explained. "The contracts ' are for the semester and as space becomes a available we move students up, although some wish to stay at the hotel." Despite some problems, room damage being the major one, Marchetti described the experience at the hotel as profitable for both the students and the housing staff. Marchetti Pleased With Dorm Parties . Housing director, Joe Marchetti remarked at the IDC meeting on September 25 that he was satisfied with how the dorms have been cleaning up after parties. It was stressed, although, that no profits may be made from parties. As always, there is a $10 limit which is to be put into the IDC fund. Along the line of parties, a suggestion was brought up to have large parties in the New Men's Dorm center lounge. Marchetti said that he was not in favor of having such parties because of the danger of damage occurring. Marchetti added that the SUB parties were established so that the dorms would not get damaged, but he would be willing to listen to a committee explaining the reasons for wanting center lounge parties. IDC PRESIDENT Tom Bazzini, warned of a rash of thefts that has been going on in the dorms and other campus buildings. The suspect has been described as a high school student with brown hair. All dorm students are advised to keep their doors locked at all times, and to report any information about the robberies to security or a Resident Assistant. Complaints about broken televisions in the dorms were voiced and Marchetti asked for a list of the broken sets so that they all can be fixed as soon as possible. Mr. Shaw announced that resident halls requesting name plaques will be receiving the plaques very soon. Shaw has also asked to have the washing machines working for free or at minimal charge. The food committee announced An Accounting & Business Club Event ~~cil. Also included is ·that the CC president must be a member of the council for at least one year It was reported that the Fresh~ man Life Committee received CC's proposal on how to improve freshman commuter life, with parking, orientation and a place to relax as the main topics. A report of the committee's intentions and reactions will be reported to CC in the future. Much discussion was held on the topic of The Beacon article of last week's meeting concerning what was written in the report to the Freshman Life Committee. It was agreed between The Beacon representative and CC president DeRobertis that there was a definite difference of interpretation of the meeting's outcome. DeRobertis stressed that CC does not want to appear as the commuters fi ghting against the dorm students, as he claimed the article implied.

Main Street Wilkes Barre, Pa. I ~ The maintenance service provided on the campus has usually been the subject of many complaints over the past few years. This may not be the case in the near future if the maintenance crew keeps up the work described by Joe Marchetti, housing director. "We accomplished a lot this past summer," said Marchetti, who is also assuring students that"the maintenance men are working and things are getting done." One of the reasons for the improvement is the new staffing of Columbus Services, the College's maintenance crew. Marion Jones is the new Project Manager. Jones now oversees both the maintenance and custodial duties on campus. He was formerl y the Supervisor of Custo, dial. Under Jones are two new supervisors. Roger Jones (no relation to Marion), recently hired as the Supervisor of Maintenance, holds a degree in electrical engineering. Charlie Toma, the new Supervisor of Custodial Duties, is replacing Marion Jones. Maintenance is working to keep iihead of the damage and break down loads. Since the College buildings are old the break down is higher then might be expected. However, Marchetti said "the damage problems are really irritating and throws everything behind." He continued to say that he is working with the Resident Assistants to control the damages and also feels that the students are cooperating more. _ . Right now maintenance is working on each building separately. Barre and Bedford Halls recently had their maintenance problems taken care of and Denison Hall is reportedly the next building to be worked on. Marchetti is very optimistic about maintenance this year but noted that it is going to take a while before maintenance gets to every problem on campus.

Phone 825-7569 �Page 4, The Beacon, Septemb_e r 29,- 1977 CC President Is 1Devastate.d .~ By Account Qf Meeting To The Editor: After reading The Beacon's article covering the September 19th Commuter Council meeting, I was devastated. Everything important accomplished at the meeting was ignored. After having a long meeting with the serious purpose of finding the greatest problems facing commuting freshman and deciding what could be done to solve these problems, a written report was given to Mr. Haberkorn, chairman of the Freshmen Life Committee. These solutions are never mentioned in The Beacon article. What is publicized are a few statements made by a few members, statements that serious members of the Council ignored, and that are nowhere reflected in the report given to Mr. Haberkorn. What is worse is that The Beacon passes these statements on as the genera1 opinion of the entire Council. The Beacon article states that a discussion which lead to a report to the Freshmen Life Committee came up with three main problems: parking, freshmen orientation, and no particular place to go to relax. In regard to the first problem The Beacon article states the Commuter Council would suggest a parking ramp as a goal of the Capital Gifts Campaign. Next it Cox Proposes Analysis Of Campus 'Treemania' To The Editor: The other day in my eight o'clock class mention was made of the present on campus movement known as "treemania." I suggested that a systematic analyzation and interpretation of both the immediate and underlying causes was necessary to fully comprehend the relevancy. The immediate cause is obviously the cutting down of the elm tree. The underlying causes are far more deeply rooted. Not wishing to be a single causationist I nevertheless cannot downplay the role of tradition in the development of "treemania." . Numerous examples of trees abound throughout literature, folklore, and in actuality that have made significant contributions to the world t oday. Certainly length prevents any substantial dissertation and rather than attempt it I shall merely establish a chronological list, leaving it to the students to discourse on the significance. 1. the winnowing fan of Odysseus. 2. the tree used in the making of the cross-of which at least 5,000 pounds exist. Most of these splinters were sold as relics during the Crusades. 3. Birnam Wood attacking Dunsinane-MacBeth by W.S. 4. t he collaboration between an apple tree and I ssac Newton. 5. the cherry tree that instilled a high moral standard in George Washington. 6. Nathan Hale's association with a tree, at the end of a rope. 7. the trees that composed Linc6ln's cabin. Most interesting is the total void of heroic trees during the last 150 years. Thank you, Harold Cox · History Department reads"Council members f~l this is much more important than a new dormitory." Nowhere does it mention that the overall Council feels, what the proposal to the Freshmen · Life Committee actually was: that a new dorm should be top priority to the Capital Gifts Campaign, but that a parking ramp should have priority over a new gym, if possible. Next, The Beacon brings up the subject of orientation. True, the Council did suggest it should be longer. However, while we did feel there can be more . things accomplished with a longer program, the general opinion was that this year's orientation was very good, not inadequate as stated in The Beacon. It is concerning orientation that The Beacon makes the worst example of taking a statement .of an individual and passing it off as that of Council'-s. This . comes when the article states that "most representatives feel that the oreintation program is ... geared toward dormitory students." In my opinion, this statement is a cheap shot at Commuter Council, which only adds fire to the ridiculous dorm student commuter student feud. What was proposed, in actuality, was that having activities from morning until late at night for successive days places an inconvenience on • a commuter. The most distressing fact about this Beacon article was that it ignored the real purpose of our meeting, ig11-ored the important decisions we made, and seemed to have the sole intent of raising controversy, by inciting friction between dorm students and commuter students. To really decide that a parking ramp "is much more important than a new dorm" would mean that there are a majority of selfish, inconsiderate idiots on the Council, which there are not. Furthermore, to accuse the Council of this counter acts all the work the Commuter Council has done this year to break the dissension between dormitory students and commuters. If the Commuter Council has had one goal this year, it is to do as much as possible to bring the commuter and dorm student as close as possible, to break down unnecessary barriers that separate them. In fact, at the last meeting, any use of the term "dormies" instead of dorm students was stopped because it was felt that it has sarcastic connotations. In addition, the whole purpose to having a new and better S.U.B. was to be a place where commuters and dorm students could get together during the day to have a good time. To finish, I feel that The Beacon has done not only the Commuter Council, but the whole student body a great injustice, by ignoring well intentioned proposals and simply concentrating on raising a controversial issue between dorm students and commuter students. Respectively yours, Louie DeRobertis 'Ode To A Dying Thought Inappropriate ElmPreMident To The Editor: I thought the letter by Daniel Miklander printed in the last issue of The Beacon was quite inappropriate. The humor was dry, extremely dry almost to the point of being insipid. Also I must question his use of the word stegophilist - to my knowledge (supported by my dictionary) no such word exists! As for literary style, there was none and furthermore the inteiided satirical content was nill. Most of the students I asked agreed with the fact that it should have been omitted from last week's issue.

Vol. 1-No. IV "EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AT WILKES" In addition to the rigors of academic study at Wilkes College, Wilkes College is a place to have fun. Extracurricular activities at Wilkes are at a premium. The Student Government Association is the primary force for providing a balanced social activity program. In cooperation with the Director of Student Activities and the Administration, the Student Government Association schedules Homecoming Weekend, Winter Weekend, Spring Weekend, Freshmen, Sophomore Junior and Senior Dinner Dances. Special events such as St. Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day parties are held at local hotels. Student Government coordinates recreational gaming areas on campus and a party pub area in the basement of the Student Union Building. Likewise, Student Government oversees the activities of the sixty plus clubs approved by Student Government. Clubs provide activities to meet the specific needs of the college student. . The Wilkes College Concert and Lecture Series under the sponsorship of Student Government has become one of the outstanding cultural arts presentations among the Middle Atlantic Colleges. The Series Committee contracts to present a cultural program with personal educational encounters that are valued among an educational community. Students are invited to personally meet noted lecturers and performing arts personalities at dinners and receptions. The Student Governm et sponsored series has been considered by many to be the finest college offered cultural program in northeast Pennsylvania. Since 1972. the Series has offered the following lectures and performing arts programs to its student body and public free of charge. Lectur~s presented were General Moshe Dayan of Israel; Dr. Issac Asimov; P~rl Bailey; Senator Eugene J. McCarthy; Vance Ha~tke; Sam Ervin; Thomas Eagleton; Trial Lawyer F. Lee Bailey; Julian Bond; Star Trek Prod_ucer Gene Roddenberry; Energy Czar Stewart Udall and the voice of Bugs Bunny. Furthermor~. outstanding performances on the special series were given by Count Basie; Dizzy Gillespie; The Cincinnati Ballet; the Broadway Production "1776;"James Cunningham and the Acme Dan_ce Company; Vincent Price; Patrice Munsel; the Munich Boys Choir; Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band. § An active intramural program of softball, ba~ketball, flag football and volleyball is coordinated by the Department of Athletics for students who are not participating in varsity sports. § Annually, the Cue and Curtain Organization produces four plays ·for the student body. § ·complimenting the College's activity program, the Wilkes-Ban-e community ~oordinates a Cherry Blossom Festival, a Community Concert Senes, a YMCA-YWCA Program, a Jewish Community Center Program and a Rock Concert Series coordinated via le>Ql collel!'es. § Wilkes College is at the base of the Pocono Mountains. Within thirty minutes, students are in winter wonderland and local resorts provide plenty of winter sports fun. § The college administration places an emphsis on student involvement in stuaent activities. It is the profound belief of the college that students can develop their education exposure outside of the classroom; therefore, Wilkes College offers a free tuition scholarship (regardless of parental income) to any full-time student who is elected or appointed to the following student activity positions: Commuter Council President Student Government President Newspaper Editor Literary Magazine Editor Yearbook Editor Radio Station,Manal!'er Inter-Dormitory President The MCAT test will be giv~ on Saturday, October 1.

Rob lamented that due to the actions of several selfish cactus confiscators some varieties have become part of a list of endangered species. This has essentially prompted the use of special permits in order to collect the cacti. Rob's hobby has also inspired his creativity in relation to dish gardens and the very popular art of sand design. He mentioned that he has had experience with grafting cacti (joining two cacti together to form a more exotic creation) ·but he does not however consider it natural with respect to the growth of the plant. On the fourth floor level of the Stark Learning Center is a room which has most recently become a virtual cactus haven! In this greenhouse are all sorts of varieties, all fascinating to see, abounding under the care of Rob Wallace, a freshman · Biology major from Cedar Grove, New Jersey. Rob began tending these plants approximately five years ago through the encouragement of a neighbor. his growing interest in these spiny creatures provoked his involvement in the New Jersey Cactus and Succulent Society, a state organization with which Rob has been affiliated for four years, and also the American Cactus Societ . Rob's collection of 250 varieties hails from various different locations. Many distinguished members of the group were collected by the owner himself in western United States from the Sonorian Desert, famous also for its majestic saguaro cacti (of western movie fame) and from Rocky Mountain National Park. ..-., ~ ~ . - . . , .......... ......

"It's like coin collecting, he said,"they will sit there and then almost all of a sudden they grow." Perhaps such a hobby requires a bit of patience, agreed, but it is nevertheless a relatively easy, attractive and ultimately reward ing one.

ONLY WITH AD! Porge /? ; '~ ~ I i l'~-- , ~ i i i i i i A Woody Allen doubl~ feature is very "dry" wa;t::~end a very rainy evening. How do you sensibly describe a crazy movie? In "Annie Hall," which stars Woody Allen and Diane Keaton, Allen describes, rather pessimistically, the life of Alvie Singer, from his youth when he lived in Brooklyn in a house under a roller coaster, to his experiences with Annie Hall (Diane Keaton). After finding out that both characters are seeing an analyst, one ultimately gets the feeling that these are two psychos in a society which is comparable to a mental ward. Society indeed seems to be ~ driving each insane, insanity being a major component of Woody ~ Allen's humor. What is evident is that the hero, Alvie Singer, is ultimately a ~ flop. His success as a child, and later as.a lover and a comic seems limited, thus provoking his pessimism. Anni~ describes him as ~ being virtually incapable of emotion. ;11111 The plot reveals the relationship between the two, Alvie's ~ constant conflict with life and Annie's battle to make it as a singer. ~ _ The two agree to live together and there after the plot is basically a ~ contemporary and most common one, with the exception of ·Allen's humor. ~ The characters do indeed appear very shallow, but then the movie ~ was obviously not constructed upon any serious lines. In fact the only seriousness one can detect in "Annie Hall" is the effect ~ produced from that rather grim visage which is characteristically Woody Allen. Singer,it turns out, is indeed incapable of enjoying life. He ~ consistently repels the contemporary ideals of his "mate" in a constant obsession with politics, anti · Semitism and death. How ~ grim! Annie and Alvie do enjoy a short part of their relationship. Against the setting of a romantic New York atmosphere, the two ~ take frequent trips to the park, linger along the byways of the harbor at dusk and share some "different" experiences such as re-apprehending several lobsters in the kitchen of Alvie's apartment, and battling spiders which are comparable to Buicks in ~ the bathroom. The rest is all downhill. Allen's being cast as a lover in the movie is what really inspires ~ the hilarity. Picture that handsome,masculine character in your room some night girls! Wow! Yet Alvie himself seems to recognize ;11111 defeat when he refers to himself as "the balding, virile type." ~ · Thus somewhere in the midst of paranoia, comic political ~ criticism, anti-Semitism and psychological counseling lurks ~ romance. The message that comes across seems to designate ~ romance in the life of one such as Singer as virtually impossible. As ~ it happens the "love affair" does not succeed, producing a very ~ forlorn Alvie Singer. Alvie's !onliness, as he visits the places the pair used to go to, and reminisces the good times, might inspire in one a certain pity. Yet ~ the comic ~tmosphere Allen presents doesn't strive to replenish this St:>'ltiment for very long! It's not long before we find him engaged ~ aga .1 in ~he most absurd experiences. ~ l.lul w:1at is the real mess~ge behind such a movie? It is hard to say! It seems Allen sets his humor and sarcastic style against a real ~ plot only to turn it into the common round of the clown who ~ somehow manag~ to make it to the brink of success and then blow the whole deal. As a result, his view of life is not- only horrible but ~ miserable. Thus the movie turns out to resemble a sarcastic tragedy upheld by Allen's humor. The action, shifting from scene to scene in a ~ rather inconsistent fashion, creates an ultimately fragmented plot which seems to lose ones attention occasionally. But then , the botched- up life of a pessismist doesn' t exactly seem an excellent ill plot and would serve to produce a very "tragic" effect indeed! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ i ;11111 ~ ! ~ ~ ! i ~ i !~ ~ ! ! !i ! !i Urban 4-H'ers is an organization with the goal of providing low income young people with an informal education. _ The organization is looking for campus clubs or students to work with the young people in the Urban 4-H'ers.

They are a self-supporting club during the offseason and had to pay their own entry fees as well as s upply their own transportation. Now, does anyone have any questions on how to sustain a winning tradition? The first person who gets caught humming " I'm Singing in the Rain" in the Wilkes football locker room gets beat about the head and shoulders with a used umbrella. The Colonels aren't very effective " mudders ". as witnessed by the disaster last Saturday in Williamsport. It was a contest that the Colonels should have and could have won. They thoroughly outplayed the Warriors but fell prey to a giant mistake, their own ineffectiveness inside the enemy 20, and injuries. The contest was played in a continuous downpour which hampered the quality of play, not to mention "hampering" Mary MacIntosh Cleaners. The uniforms of both teams were basic brown by halftime. The Wilkesmen got the first scoring opportunity of the game. They were driving well into Lycoming territory until they stalled at the 20 yard line.

They were faced with a third and three but after the penalty yardage was assessed, it was third and 8. A very big five yards! Another big penalty came when the Colonels defense was called for a personal foul. Lycoming had failed on a key third down conversion and would have had to punt from inside their own 15. The penalty gave them a first down and more importantly, took them out of the shadow of their own end zone. The Wilkesmen got one last chance to win the game in the fourth quarter when Joe Shurites fell on a loose ball at the Lycoming 30. But, symbolic of the Colonel fortunes all day, they again could not move it in for a score. Offensively, the Colonels out dust. Mike Aed and Dr. Earles were kept busy with Bill Sparks' broken hand, Rob Irwin 's shattered knuckle , and Mel Johnson's strained knee. Irwin will probably be red-shirted. These catastrophies put a major crimp in the Colonel style. The loss backs them up against the proverbial brick wall. Another MAC loss and they can bury their heart at wounded hand. This week they get a chance to regroup as they take on nonconference Bloomsburg State in a regionally televised contest.

Playing the entire game in a torrential downpour, the Blue and Gold battled to a 0--0 deadlock with the Huskies in first half action. It looked like the whole game would be a defensive struggle, but the Huskies broke the game wide open, scoring 17 minutes into the second half. The second score came when a Bloomsburg player scored on a fluke play. It appeared that he used his hands, which is illegal, but the official claimed it was a head shot. Coach Eaton refuted the call, but the official wouldn't revoke his decision. "Hard luck" hit the Colonels . for the third time when one of their fullbacks booted the ball to midfield on a defensive play and the ball stopped dead in a huge puddle. A Bloomsburg booter just happened to be at the right spot, and with the Colonels off guard, he managed to make the score 3--0. Bloomsburg added the final tally to their 4--0 victory on a penalty shot. Colonel goalie, Cliff Brautigan was called for illegally interfering with a couple Bloomsburg players, but he had really just slipped in the mud. Nevertheless, Cliff played an excellent game, making a total of 35 saves for the Blue and Gold. Coach Eaton was pleased with the performances of center fullback, Nicholas Pitsis; right fullback, Joe Degenhart and sweeper, Nick Golowich. Pitsis, only a freshman is playing the point of the Colonel "diamond defense," while Golowich is handling sweeper ' · duties at the back point.

Polachek regained her composure and rallied to defeat Miss lclntre 6-1. Laura Canfield proved superior as she stunned Knowles, As for the Colonelettes'. cocaptains, Jo Ann Pugliese and Sally Steele, it was a dismal cloudy day, even though sun was shining bright on the Marywood courts, since they both lost to their Scranton opponents. In doubles action, Wilkes Judy Bellis and Rose McMahon looked impressive against the Royals. The second double match was a chiller thriller as the Colonelette No. 1 double team squeezed by the U's No. 1 team, with a tiebreaking 7-5 win for the first set.

Coach Davenport, showing signs of Douglas MacArthur in rain gear, didn't believe the tie. "I never saw a tie before in cross country. What an exciting year its been already, and we' ve only run three times." When the race had ended, the runners had more dirt on them than there is in a adult book store. The 4.9-mile course was wet and muddy due to the monsoon which has plagued the Wyoming Valey for over a week. Getting almost as consistent as a Reggie Jackson error, Danny Thomas agained claimed first place in t he race, giving him three victories in as many events. The former Wyoming Valley West standout ran t he course in 27: 14 to finish ahead of Bible's Jim Gorman's 27:54. Early in the race Wilkes was in great shape, with seven Colonels in the top nine places. But Wilkes veterans Dave Boris and Vince D'Amato were forced to leave with minor injuries, which dented the Colonel cause and led to the tie. Ed Eppler took third place for Wilkes with a clocking of 28:32, besting a 29:00 by Morav_ian's Jim Spies. Colonel Don Patrick finished fifth with 29:05, just ahead of Jeff Peterson of Baptist Bible with 29: 11. Dave Kerek, JeffDavis, and Dan Rittenhouse all added to t he Wilkes cause with fine times. Wilkes, which hosted Muhlenberg and Scranton yesterday, will travel to meet Albright, Delaware Valley, and Philadelphia Textile tomorrow.

Activity which began during the summer and ended early this week has moved at least seven offices and departments to new · homes on campus. The changes are as follows: Parrish Hall to the second and third floors of Chase Hall. 1. The Sociology-Anthropology Department has moved {rom 2. The registrar's office has been moved to Parrish Hall after operating for years from the basement of Weckesser Hall. ~- ---...,----------- situation would be to have all these offices in SLC, but the lack of space prevents this. It will probably be some time before everyone becomes familiar with the new locations. If you're one of the unlucky people who wanders the basement of Weekes-· ser !learching in vain for Mrs. Barker or Mr. Meyers, just remember that Wilkes is "on the move." 3. The Office of Continuing Education and Graduate Studies has also packed up and moved to Parrish Hall. 4. The Veterans' Administration Office has relocated to Parrish. 5. The recorder's office has accompanied the registrar and Continuing Ed in the move to Parrish. Recorder Ruth Bishop was formerly on the first floor of Weckesser. · 6 ..

Reenie Corbett The future of the basement of Weckesser is still a question mark, although a number of suggestions have been made. The Beacon has taken over the former Vets' office, and is using it as a typesetting and newspaper layout room. Parrish Hall is obviously the center of activity in the moving process, which is precisely the reason it has been so involved. The registrar, Continuing Ed and the recorder were moved there in order to centralize the registration and financial procedure, since both the business and finance offices are located in Parrish. Formerly a student had to trek · back and forth between W eckesser, Parrish and the Computer Center in Stark Learning Center to register, pay bills, pick up class cards, change schedules, etc. Now the system is more localized, although not really centralized, since Parrish stands at the far end of the campus and the Computer Center remains in the middle. Provost Richard Soter explained that the ideal NEW HOME- The Office of Continuing Education and Graduate Studies is now in the process of settlin« down in its new home Consolidation Proposed By Trustees' Committee Carl Holsberger, Student Govment president, reported at the SG meeting, Monday night, that the Freshman Life and Housing Committee is suggesting that the three student bodies of IDC, CC, and SG be consolidated into one. Louie DeRobertis, CC president, is in favor of this proposal arguing that it may bring more organization to student affairs. Holsberger and Dean Edward Baltruchitis expressed feelings against this proposal but will discuss it further with an open mind. The Freshman Life- and Housing Committee is a sub-committee of the Board of Trustees. Under committee reports, the social committee headed by John Sentore announced that the theme for this year's winter weekend is the ''Wilkes College -ff SC To Hold Raffle The Human Services Committee is sponsoring a raffle for the benefit of the American Heart Association.

A floor covering was borrowed from King's College for the concert but Black is going to look into getting one for the College gym since it is so desperately needed. Some complaints were expressed to Black from SG members concerning the concert where the music was too loud, rushed through, and where people had trouble seeing. The overall view, however, was that t he concert was a success. Jim Edwards On The Cover Neither rain nor sleet...

After this the band prepares for a Christmas concert tour which they give every year at 12 local Junior and Senior High Schools. During the college Christmas break the group returns a week early to leave on t his provincial tour. Because of this local touring, t he band is probably better known off t han oft campus. Last yea r, fo r the first t ime, the band traveled to Owego, NY during t he holiday break to perform at a J'unior and Senior High School in t he area:-. They are plan ning to return there again this year.

Chuck Allabaugh 111 Kenneth Koch To Speak And To Read His Poetry American poet and playwright, Kenneth Koch 1 will visit Wilkes on Tuesday, Oct. 11 to talk wit h students and read from his works. The reading, scheduled for 8 p.m. in SLC 101, is open to the public. " Koch is fo nd of making poetry out of poetry- resistant stuff," says one of his critics." Locks, lipsticks, business let terheads, walnuts, lunch and fud ge attract him; so do examples of inept slang, silly sentiment, brutal behavior, a nd stereoty ped exotica and erotica." Koch' s remarkable literary talent has given him a place almost entirely his own in American literature. He has published many books of unique poetry including, " Tha nk You and Ot her Poems" (1962), " Ko, or a Season on Earth" (1959), and his most recent, " The Duplications" (1977). Koch has worked wit h children and t he elderly, s urfacing poetry in those who least realized t heir creative abilities. I n "Wishes.Lies, and Dreams" (1970) , Koch teaches t he writ ing of poetry. " Rose, Where did you Get That Red ?" (1973) presents poetry as literature in an effort to get children to write poems similar to t hose t hey read. Koch was born in 1925. H e lives in New York City where he is What college women are being pinned with. professor of English at Columbia University. Koch, together with J ohn As hbery and Frank O'Hara, was a principal of the "New York School, " a group of poets working in t he middle 1950' s to transcribe t he "abstract expressionism " in painting for poetry . He has written scripts for mll,ny experimental fil ms, two of which have been produced. His most recent work is a full length play," The Red Robins," adapted from his novel of t he same title. The Beacon will be out on Friday, October 14 in honor of the Homecoming activities. UPWARD BOUND - Do you enjoy working with young people? Would you like to do something constructive in your spare time? If you are this type of person, Upward Bound may have a niche for you to fill. Project Upward Bound is a remedial education program that is sponsored by Wilkes College and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. It is designed for local high school students who are disadvantaged for one reason or another; yet, have the potential for college. Because of their circumstances, they may be deficient in some of the basic skills necessary for success in such an undertaking. Special classes, tutoring sessions and career counseling during the school year and summer are just some of the activities organized to help these students make their dreams of college and a future career a reality. Upward Bound needs people to tutor in all high school subjects. Sessions can be arranged at the volunteer' s convenience, in evenings and after school. Limited white card hours are available for eligible students, but the program is largely seeking volunteer time. Interested ·people can contact Barb Greenwood, director of Upward Bound, at the Upward Bound office on the second floor of Ross Hall [251 South River St.], or call ext. 306. Members of the Upward Bound staff include: Esther Harvey, Mary Lou Krysic [standing] and Carl Edwards. - - --- -- --- - ~ -- -- -- - -- - - -- - - - - - - - - -- - - -- --~ Most employers think twice about hiring people with criminal records.

Paae 3 Bright Light Leaves Campus Som eone once said t hat t here are two ways to bring light into the world- to be the flame itself or to be the mirror t hat reflects it. Marianne Montague is both, for her personality can illuminate any dark corner, and she also has a special talent for allowing people to see the best in themselves, especially when they're feelin g pretty worthless. As a student here, Marianne took an active part in campus life, managing the swim team , being a member of The Beacon editorial staff, becoming .a Homecoming princess and being selected for Who' s Who. She ended her · undergraduate days in style, graduating cum laude with a B.A. in English-Secondary Education with a concentration in journalism, and being named "outstanding graduate." " That was the proudest moment of my life," she said, "because receiving both my degree and that award represented my acl;idemic and campus activities. That meant a lot t<1'me because I learned at Wilkes both inside and outside the classroom." Although she was " ready to face the world," she found that the teaching market was all but closed, and she returned. to Wilkes for graduate courses, and to work at the Housing and Alumni offices. One year later (last week) she was informed that she had been hired as t he Program Coordina tor for Student Activities at Bloomsberg State College, a position for which 90 people applied . 'Tm really enthusiastic about the job," she said, and she expressed her appreciation t o the people she worked with both in Weckesser a nd Housing (including the RA' s) who " supported my career plans while always helping me grow, and who were always my friends." As hard as it is for t hose who know her to see her leave Wilkes, it's also difficult for her to leave. "It sounds corny," she said, "but I can see the memories passing by, and they were all important parts of my life. Most of those memories are of the people at Wilkes-those who listened and laughed with me. I'll always have them with me." People who know her will admit that they spent a great deal of time _laughing with her, for she possess an exceptional sense of humor, coupled wi_th true warmth and understanding. One of activities on TheBeaconwas to write a weekly humor column, " Dream On," which charmed readers throughout t he campus and was probably t he most popular series this paper has ever featu~ed . ~ e continued to exhibit her witty style in t he Wilkes College Qua~rly as a member of ~..,....,....,....,....,...~_,..._,,...,.....,....,.....,....,,...,.....,-..,....,,...,..../.)"".,r..r...r..r~..r..,......,--('"..,.....,.....,,-..,.....,....,.....,...,....,.....,......ct ~ § , § § II il'lfl Sifl[fll] l'IIJIJSfl II I § ~ § 271 Wyoming Avenue, Kingston Carries A Full Line Of Hi-Fi Equipment I§ • Advent I§ • Bic I§ • Bose §§ § • Kenwood • Nakamichi • .,,, Pioneer • Discwasher • Yamaha ! • Dual • Cerwin-Vega j • Hannan-Kardon • TDK ~ 8888 §~ ;. §§ l 1- ~• § § t he editorial staff. In add ition to her ability to see t he lighter side of life, she is also capable of sustaining other's spirits by listening patiently, talking sincerely and somehow planting hope. If she ever decides to charge for those services, the Rockefellers are in for some stiff competition. As if that weren't enough (I told you you'd be embarassed, Mare), she's also modest and unassuming, refusing to stand in the spotlight, while us ually that someone else does instead. It may seem impossible for any one person to possess all t hese attributes and not yet be canonized , but anyone who knows Marianne will agree that she's someone special. " Why do want to write about me for The Beacon?" she asked . (typically). "A lot of people leave Wilkes when they get jobs." Well, that may be true, Mare, but none of them ever won the love and affection from so many people that you captured so easily.

It is estimated that a total of between $75,000 and $1 million is spent by t he. College's dorm students each year. The reason for t he questionaire is due to a proposal by the College to raze a few of the men' s and women's dormitories on campus such as Miner, McClintock and Gore t o build a major high-rise dormitory complex. But the city does not totally approve of the idea tha t the College will not have to pay any taxes on a new Housing complex. Public Relations is trying to defend its case using the results of,-this survey. This new dormitory, if it is built, would increase the total dormitory population; therefore, increasing the money that would be circulating into the community businesses. The person responsible for the rash of. thefts that have been occurring in the past two weeks was caught last week. He confessed to eight of the thefts. IDC president Tom Bazzini stated, " Just because this guy was caught doesn't mean we shouldn't ·be more careful in the future. We should use this as a lesson."

Vol. I - No. V "MATERIALS MANAGEMENT OR THE TERM PAPER" A Letter To ''Judas'' Dear Flowering Judas, We read your first issue recently, and as the reputed "established voice of Wilkes students," would like to sincerely welcome you to the campus. We're not sure in what manner we were expected to behave, but we have no intentions of condemning your efforts to 'try to blow all you people [students) out of your apathetic stupors.' We think that is a wortny but awesome goal, and is one which, believe it or not, we try to achieve also. We believe that yoq can serve a useful function on this campus and can be a valuable asset to students. But take care that yoq don't forget some important ideas that should be at the heart of your efforts. We don't mean to sound pre&chy, but we are in a position to reflect on some of the things we have learned through our mistakes and through the opportunities we have had to see aspects of Wilkes that relatively few students are able to view. Perltaps the lessons we've learned can be of some value to you. The most important idea to remember when venturing out into the publication world is that truth and fairness should be the overwhelming theme in everything you write. The problem is that truth can be hard to distinguish among the many shades of gray and fairness is a relative thing. As a result it is easier to offend people than it is to please them, even though yoq never intended to be unfair. But don't let the thought of offending someone prevent you from saying what you know is right- just be certain that you are. § Also, you will probably soon find that the wall of apathy is hard to crack, especially when you are committed to fairness and accuracy, for they often take some of the sting out of your story. It's easy to stir up interest in an issue if you print things you can't prove. And, if you really believe in what you're doing, don't hide behind anonymity. This only shows a lack of faith in your convictions and a lack of courage. It's easy to take pot shots at people when they don't know who you are. We try to make people think about this college, to evaluate its strengths and its weaknesses, to Beacon Bits ----The Class of '78 is sponsoring "The Gong Show" to be held <kt. 28 at 8:00 p.m. in the CPA.

If you can compel people to think even more, and perltaps to care enough to actually do something to make this college better than it is, then you will have accomplished a great deal.

Be careful not to discourage the people on this campus who ARE trying to do something. Thanks for listening and good luck. We'll see you on the 14th. Get Your Dictionary: Another Tree Freak Expresses Criticism To The Editor: Being a devotee of sesquidpedalianism, I find it categorically imperative that I produce counter evidence to Robert Knorr's unruminated letter concerning Daniel A. Miklander's cor• respondence to The Beacon. I shall not at all delve into the venomous criticism of its "satiric• al" and " literary" worth, except to say that I thought it a prime example of prosaic epistolary form. Rather it is Knorr's accusation surrounding the valid· ity of the word "stegophilist" with which I shall deal. The word "stego" is Greek in origin. It is derived from "stegos" meaning roof or cover. A prime example of its applica• tion is Stegosaur. This creature was a herbivorous dinosaur of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods characterized by its heavy, bony armor (a cover for protection). The element "philo" is also Greek in origin. Philo means "loving" and a philist would be a "lover." Hence a "stegophilist" is a person who loves to cover objects, e.g. an alpinist or a tree climber. I might suggest that Robert Knorr purchase another dictionary and perhaps a thesaurus. The paperback edition that he now owns is insufficient for college needs. Sincerely, Niki Liljestrand P.S. In Chris Daryl's letter on "Treemania" the word magnolia was misspelled. I ts proper form lies above. ' II II l ,., I i I You enter class, your instructor hands out the course syllabus, test dates out of class assignments and the term paper required for the course. If you are registered for 18 credits, this may be the third term paper required of you for the semester. If you are lucky you will have one. The first term paper usually counts as a full hourly exam; therefore, it's important that you gather, assess and communicate information to the instructor in a logical way. Term papers are generally assigned so that you can research and learn a specific body of knowledge. It is important that you develop a systematic approach to research and writing. Since your first college term paper will be a chore, don't wait until the last week of the term. Once your topic is assigned, locate the college library and ask an employee to show you where data may be found. Generally, library orientations are conducted at Wilkes College by members of the English Department. Nevertheless, get a jump on your competition, don' t procrastinate •- get started and you will feel a sense of relief if you have your paper completed well in advance of the assigned date. Here are a few tips for writing your first college term paper: Acquire a term paper manual. Ask your English instructor for a few recommenda~ions on authors. Manuals are inexpensive. Most manuals will have the following as a general theme. Identify your topic and compile a bibliography on your topic. Use 3 x 5 cards and indicate author, title, place of publication and date. Prepare and outline. ~ Information extracted from your reading should be placed on 4 x 6 index cards. Also, each card should indicate the source of the extracted information. Somewhere on the card indicate whether the extracted idea is (A) a quotation, (B) a conclusion, (C) your idea, (D) author's idea, (E) paraphrase. In essence you dqn't want to be guilty of intelligent shoplifting commonly known as plagarism. Footnotes in your term paper must establish the source of your extracted information. _ Your term paper manual will show you how to list footnotes and utilize such Latin abbreviations such as "Ibid.," "Loe. Cit." and "Op. Cit." although such abbreviations are gradually being replaced with other methods. : Write a rough draft from your cards - just get your thoughts down on paper. Review the draft for spelling, grammar, logic, idea development, general organization and sentence structure. · When writing your paper there are some general rules of thumb. Use "quotations'.' only when necessary. Your term paper should not be a paper of another person's words •· just say it your way. Write clearly and simply, don't be addicted to big words. Make sure your paragraphs support your thesis statement and topic • don't throw in words to fill up the paper. Place your paper aside for a few days .. come back to it and proof read it with care. Get another opinion from a friend who is an English major. If you don't have one, find <ine. Make your final draft look neat. Use quality white erasable bond paper. Purchase a clear, plastic cover or manilla folder to give it a orofessional oolished document look.

Iill , Includes All Artists & Labels ' Sexy women, fantastic contraptions, sinist~vfitain;s,,u..avn_d_t-he immortal 007 are all rolled into one to form a more recent kind of James Bond movie, ''The Spy Who Loved Me." This time Bond (Roger Moore) is involved in a zany plot to apprehend the culprit responsible for kidnapping several nuclear submarines by using a tracking device. The idea is, of course, to destroy the world, and the impenetrable secret agent accepts the challenge to terminate the scheme. The tone of the movie is fairly consistent in keeping with the previous 007 ventures, which starred Sean Connery. Yet it seems this Bond lacks that special finesse so characteristic of the imperishable undercover man. Perhaps it might be safe to say that Moore does not project that quality rf control which the old Bond seems to have been famous for. Moore does adequately fulfill the role, howeYer, in comparison to tl1e original he seems rather to resemble a modern Alexander Mu11dy, -.vith perhaps a bit more starch. In keeping with the initial 007 flavor, everything is indeed bizarre. The deathless secret agent seems to have a contraption for every situation. But because of Bond's past reputation it is not surprising that he should be equipped with a digital computer read-out wrist watch, a car which conve_rts into a submarine and a parachute that saves his life as he skis off the edg~ of an enormous mountain, pursued by thugs. Bond's relationships with women come as no shock, yet his style in such matters cannot but be envied. His " dashing personality and charm" encourage numerous voluptuous beauties to ultimately melt in his arms on sight, thus nourishing the spy's extraordinary ego. But here, 007 is enthralled with one particular .goddess who ends up accompanying him on his mission. The lady would indeed seem to represent Bond's equal, as far as occupation goes, but the incomparable spy succeeds in "conquering" her as is typical of his style. Style indeed seems to be Bond's trademark, as it is evident in everything he relates to; his women, attire, form of travel (Unheard of!), speech and so on. This characteristic, however, might be his only noteworthy quality, as he is otherwise a ther foppish fellow. And humor? Bond's humor is indeed an outrage! The sarcastic comments he utters at the most opportune times produces such farcical comedy, one ultimately has to respond with "Oh, <;ome on!" Ah, such wit! But this is par for the reputation of James Rond; he is a farce, but he is also "the best." Meanwhile, evil forces set out to destroy the hero, headed by the scandalous Strombel. One memorable maniac is a character named "Jaws." This gruesome fellow, along with having a mouth full of metal also possesses a will to survive comparable to that of Bond himself. He becomes rather comical and ultimately \lnforgettable. ' 'The Spy Who Loved Me" thus celebrates the reincarnation of the unforgetable 007, the secret agent with a tremendous capacity for surv1va1, a harem of beautiful women and a waggery which should perhaps have remained buried!

The Blue a nd Gold lost t heir home innaugural to M uhlenberg last Wednesday, 6-1 and were defeated by Lycoming College in t heir second home contest, 6-5. The Colonel hooters beat Muhlenberg in t heir previous meeting, which turned out to be a hotly contested match at Muhlenberg. The damp rain wasn' t the only thing present, as the Muhlenberg hooters filled the air with a strong feeling for revenge. At the end of the first period, Wilkes trailed 20-9 in goal shots and 4-1 in scoring. Mario Apuzzo, junior co-captain was the only Colonel to score, hitting the nets at the end of the first period, unassisted . The offensive hustle of sophomore Warren Bush, fres hman Dung Chi Duong, a nd senior Tony Apos tolaros seemed almost wort hless, due to t he muddy field conditions. Freshman goalkeeper, Cliff Brautigan played a respectable game, making 22 saves before leaving the game mid-way through the second half. Brautigan was desperately trying to defend his goal when he collided with a couple of Muhlenberg's .persistant offensive players. He is now on the injured list for three to four weeks with torn ligaments in his leg. Junior goalie, Joe Stephens replaced Brautigan and did a commendable job, making 9 saves and allowing just one score. Reserves Steve Bailey and Ed Finn provided some excitment for - , Colonel fans, demonstrating tough physical contact with their Muhlenberg adversaries. Despite the good defense in the second half, it was already,_.too late and the Colonels found themselves on the short end of a 6-1 decision. On Saturday the hooters played their second home match and dropped a 6-5 squeaker to Lycoming. Although the poor weather conditions prevailed for the weekend, things went a little better for the Wilkesmen. Since a few more Colonels joined the scoring ranks, Coach Eaton believes they will do a better job with their remaining schedule. Co-captain Tony Apostolaros scored the first goal of the game when he fashioned a 35 yard kick 11 minutes into the first period on a pass from freshman Dung Chi Duong. Wilkes recorded their second goal when Dung(Zoomy) was illegally pushed and drew a penalty kick for the Blue and Gold. Mario Apuzzo kicked the penalty shot and made the score 2-0 favor Wilkes. Mario also scored the third tally for the Colonels on a pass from Apostolaros just SOCCER BRAINPOWER- Co-captains Tony Apostolaros and Mario Apuzzo check out the game plan with Head Coach Chip Eaton. before the first half ended. Lycoming managed to score two goals in the first half. The second half was also dominated by Wilkes, but Lycoming made it count when they had the ball, scoring four times. The final Lycoming goal came with less than two minutes remaining in the match, awarding them with a close 6-5 victory. Other Colonels breaking into the scoring ranks were sophomores Joe Piccone and Nick Golowich. Warren Bush was credited with the assist to the Golowich score. _ Wilkes saw their record drop to 0-4 but Eaton is optimistic about . their game at Moravian, Saturday at 10:30. Last year the C6lonels defeated Moravian 3-2 in a hardfought overtime battle. After the Contest with Moravian, Wilkes will be at home on October 11, entertaining Baptist Bible College. • Bob Gaetano FOOTBALL from page 7 Well , as they say in the trade, there's always next week! Undefeated Upsala rolls into town riding a 3-0 record and sporting a tremendous defense. They have Hockey Squad Scores Twelfth Straight NPWIAA Victory; Home This Week The field hockey team struggled through a tough week beating the University of Scranton 8-1 but losing to Kutztown 4-1 and Lafayette 2-0. The team's overall record is now at .500 with two wins and two losses. The Colonels looked unbeatable on Tuesday as they kept on the attack against Scranton getting 33 shots on goal against only 10 for the Royals. Coach Meyers' girls gave a total team effort scoring eight goals to go along with a great defensive performance. Marie Elko, Barb Gorgas and Julie Kerrick each had two goals in the lopsided win. Pam Synder added a goal that was so quick that the University of Scranton team didn't know ' what happened. Jean Johnson led the defense keeping the ball up to the attack throughout the game. Wilkes substituted freely in the contest using 17 players. Goalie Lee Ann Earl was forced to take No Doz once again as she had to kick the ball only three times in the entire game. The victory over Scranton was the Colonels' 12th consecutive victory in N.P.W.l.A.A.play. Since the league was formed in 1974, Wilkes has never lost a league game. Thursday's game was not so easy. Kutztown, a far superior team to Scranton, outshot Wilkes 22 to 12. They provided the toughest competition for the team so far this year. Wilkes played a tough game, but Kutztown was there to capitalize on the Colonels' mistakes. Marie Elko scored once again but a Kutztown goal tied it up just before the half ended. In the second half a tough Kutztown defense held the team scoreless while they added t hree goals for a 4-1 final. Coach Meyers had much praise for Kutztown' s effort: " Kutztown is so aggressive, I always get the feeling they are playin g with an extra player. It seems that they a lways ha ve a player at t he ball. Our defense did a good job in t he majority of t he t ime, but t he mi nu te we let up -- t hey were right there." Mrs. Meyers stressed that her team's mistakes proved to be th e difference. " Wilkes didn' t get outplayed," s he statP<l. " We were in the game. The difference was we mad e mistake"> and they didn"t." Once again, Jean Johnson was a sta ndout on defense. Lee Ann Earl proved why everyone says she is a class goalie making 10 saves. Geri McAfee, a sophomore transfer student, did a good job on defense in her first varsity ap pearance. ' It must be noted t hat Kutztown has a larger program than Wilkes does and' they are consistently tough each year. This is also true of Lafayette who has a very strong team. Over 90 percent of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Lafayette was played in a pouring rain and the game was finally called with close to 15 minutes left because the field condition became so bad. The combination of the rain as well as losing 15 minutes of playing time definitely hurt the team especially in such a close contest. Wilkes showed the powerful Lafayette team that they are no team to warm up on. The stats were not too far apart with Lafayette holding the edge in shots 23-14 and in penalty corners by only 11-8. Lee Ann Earl was super in goal tending once again making 15 saves. A great defensive effort was led by Monica Krammer, Karen Worlinski and Lu Ann Neely . The defense never let up sending Lafayette away from the goal time and time again. A turning point in the game could have been missed shots by Jerry Ann Smith and Mary Jo Frail. Both girls had some tremendous shots on goal but the ball just wouldn't go in. . The team will be definitely asking itself what the outcome would have been if the final 15 minutes had been played. the team was breaking through -the Lafayette defense more often and more quickly in the second half. _ "I am very pleased with the total team performance," noted Coach Meyers. "We lacked some power on attack, but our defense did a great job." The team unit is st~tting to come together but a few weak spots still exist. If the tea m plays the rest of the season with less mistakes, they can be tough. Evidence to the caliber of team tha t Lafayette has is th e fa ct t ha t th ey are hoping for a bid to t he USFHA AIA W fi eld hockey college chan:,pio ns hip tournament in November. In both the Kutztown a nd the Lafayette games, Wilkes played good open field hockey.

Jeff Acornley The Colonelettes tennis team extended t heir win streak to t hree with wins over Misericordia, 6-1 and t he University of Scranton, 6-1 over the past week. In action against Scranton, Wilkes' Reenie Corbett crushed her opponent Sue Gay, 6-3, 6-1. It was only last week that Corbett defeated Gay, 6-2, 6-2 . Royal Kathy Coleman defeated southpaw Jan Wolf, 6-1, 6-1. Colema n had ru led the court last Wl->ek against J o Ann Pugliese t he las t time two teams met. T he Coleman victory was the only win for Scranton for the afternoon. This week it • was different for co-captain Pugliese as she rebounded and defeated the "U's" Barb Mechling in a 6-3, 7-5 tiebreaker. Once again Diane Polachek looked devastating by overpowering Sandy Selinski, 6-4, 6-4. In a grudge match, Colonelette Laura Canfield went against Royal Kathy Knowles for 'the third time in two years. The match moved into a third set and the crowd was stunned when Canfield defeated Knowles, 6-4, 6-3, 6-0. The doubles action was in the "Good Hands People" as the Colonels Steele-McQuire pair were too much to handle for Scranton' s Moisey-McIntyre, 6-3, 6-1. In the nite-owl doubles, Wilkes' Bellas-McMahon were seeded against McManus-Stanchak. In a superb effort the Wilkeswomen emerged wi th the win. At 3 p.m. toda y the netwomen pu t t heir 4-2 record on t he line against a tough Blooms burg State tea m at Ralston Field . Bob Ausura SDiegnias, New Riders Rolling With Wins In a crucial football encounter this past week in the Western Division, Miner Hall and the Smegmas squared off for a game whose outcome will be disputed for years to come. Miner came in to the game overconfident of themselves, and as a result were burned on the first and second offensive possesions by the Smegmas. "Broadway" Greg Tomcl:10 launched two touchdowns to his two normally not-so ·surehanded halfbacks Mike Capperal and Bruce Douglas for an early 14-0 lead. This score held until the third quarter when Miner finally came to life via a Brian Hoynak touchdown toss to wide receiver Ken Hughes. The Extra point was missed, and the score stood at 14-6. Lightning struck quickly however, as Mike Vassil ran the ensuing kickoff back 92 yards to boost the Smegma lead to 21-6. However, Miner got a break on the successful extra-point attempt ·when halfback Douglas viciously spiked the ball, only to have the ball b?unce back and spike him where the sun don't. shine, eliminating him from any further action for the day. Miner quickly capitalized, using a 40 yard halfback option pass to Pete Pagano and a 10 yard bootleg by Hoynak to get within a point, 21-20. After that, two interceptions by Smegma Scott Sultzer kept the boys from the Hall in check until with 3 seconds left in the game, when Miner lined up for a 35 yard field goal attempt by Mike Heller. The kick appeared good as the final gun went off, but referee Bill Manley said no because the ball was too high as it went over the crossbar. The Smegmas, not the type of team to argue with officials, accepted the 21-20 victory and limped home. In the East, the New Riders continued to roll with a 41 -19 win over a tough STX II team. The Riders, behind the moves of "Disco" Tom McIntyre are scoring this year at a rate of 1,3.5 points per game, while allowing t he opposition only 12.5. _ Welsh Holgash Penn Plaza Shopping.

How~ver, there is a much stronger incentive for donating one's blood: the simple fact that it is desperately needed by others who are less fortunate than ourselves. Kathy stated, "There is now a larger demand for blood because of more advanced medical and surgical procedures; that is why we raised our goal to 325 pints, as opposed to our goal in recent years, which was 300 pints." She also stressed the importance of attaining this goal, as there is no substitute for "the real thing." It was the practice in previous drives to hold competitions among dorms, the winner being the one whose students donated the most pints . .

Golden Years Of Football Team A memorandum initialed by housing director Joe Marchetti was distributed to all present at the IDC meeting on Sunday. The memorandum concerned the general disapproval of campus parties felt by the housing office and the Dean's office. It was stated that certain aspects of the party policy are being violated: exchange of money at the party itself is prohibited, large parties must be held in the SUB (not in the dorms ), profits over $10 must be turned over to IDC, and the distribution of hard liquor at parties is prohibited. IDC president Tom Bazzini remarked that he did not know why there is this feeling of disapproval, because there have been no incidents yet, to his knowledge. Bazzini offered that it might be profitable for both sides if the dormitory students try to revise t he party policy. "It's feasible that t hey might allow students to serve hard liquor," said Bazzini~ "after all, anyone could get just as drunk on beer as any other kind of alcohol." Concerni ng the dorm was hing machines, it was unanimously voted at t he IDC meeting t hat a formal recommendation be made t o President Capin to make all was hers and dryers free for dormitory students.

The festival will conclude with a public concert tomorrow at 8 p.m. at the Price Auditorium of Lock Haven College campus. maintenance committee to discuss problems and complaints in the dorms. The day and time for these meetings has not been established yet. The Freshman Life Committee, consist ing of members of th e administration and the freshman class, has suggested that IDC, Commuter Council, and Student Goverment combine into one council. The reason stated for this was to end the segregation of dorm students and commuters. The reaction to this proposal was one of general disapproval, as one IDC member stated, "the meetings would be too long." During the 1940s, . the Wilkes College football program, which was under the direction of George Ralston at the time, was a strong one which carried with it a lot of pride in both itself and from the community. This feeling was somehow lost in followi ng years. Then in 1965, this atmosphere was changed to one of enlightening hope. Out of this era came the " Golden Horde," the greatest players in Wilkes football history. Homecoming '77 honors those players this weekend.

St·1rs Contr.oversy · -...-----------------------------tBROOK'S BARBER SHOP combined with the coaching of Rollie Schmidt and practice and determination, would give the Colonels the potential to achieve back-to-back wins during that season. And that they did. The Colonels had the power that year to go all the way to win their first Middle Atlantic Conference title in the history of the College. In 1966, the Colonels went on to finish -with a perfect unbeaten season. The climax of this season came on November 17 when the Colonels became the recipients of the Lambert Trophy. The road v.::ent on for the Colonels to 1967 with 21 victories and a second straight 8-0 season. After the successful 1967 season, the Colonels were already thinking about the 1968 season ahead. They were to lock heads with some tough teams that year Buch as the University of Vermont and Delaware Valley. But, through the Colonels' probing determination, they went on to defeat these teams and capture another unbeaten season, making their total wins at 28 games and capturing anot her Lambert Bowl, along with the "Timmie Award" symbolic of the :·i~~tstt~~~g ;~i:\:~~r~ w ~t~ fitting way to end a golden era that put the Wilkes College Colonels in the spotlight of national prominence. As George Pawlush stated so well in the latest Wilkes College "Quarterly," "In time there would be other streaks and other grea teams at Wilkes College, but there would only be one "Golden Horde."

The committee is still investigating this point. However, it is stated in the council minutes that "a committee was formed to work on the idea of the combination parking lot and SUB." Committee chairman, Phil Murosky, was then given a vote of confidence to take a survey of whether students would like a parking ramp over a large Student Union Building. DeRobertis is strongly against this survey arguing that this survey may jeopardize the chance of . getting a new SUB facility when no SUB has been discussed or proposed of this size. Murosky stated that he needs t o know what the students want through a bro11cd opinion which this s urvey will indicate.

Under committee reports, the Homecoming committee reported that the free SUB party to be held tomorrow night is no longer free. An admission fee of fifty cents will be chrged.

This weekend marks pemaps Wilkes College's most traditional activity, as it brings students, both past and present, to the campus. Bonfires, football games, dances, plays and halftime activities are all part of the annual Homecoming tradition. Another special event takes place less than a week from today, on Thursday, Oct. 20. It doesn't feature the myriad of special activities that Homecoming does. No displays, dances or dinneni will be held. Despite this, the day is still an important, although not a new Wilkes event, and is one which can have even more impact and meaning than does Homecoming or any other activity. What is it? Blood Donor Day. "Oh, that again," you say, as you turn to another page. If you're still with us, think about the purpose of this semi-annual campus activity for just a minute. Twice each year, the Human Strvices Committee and the Amtrican Red Cross come to this campus hoping they can round up enough students, faculty and administrators who care enough about their fellow man to give of their time and themselves. It's obvi()usly a vtry personal sacrifice for which they ask--the only gift that comes directly from the heart. It and love are perhaps the only two commodities that money can't buy. If science could manufacture artificial blood, it probably would in order to eliminate the need to beg people to donate: But as yet, no one has found the answer to that problem, so people in need still must turn to people like us. And although we may try to convince ourselves that there really isn't a need for our blood, there is. We visited the lab in a local hospital recently and were shocked to see the small quantity of blood that was on hand. "As you can see," said a nurse, "we never have enough." But each one of us has enough blood in our vEins to be able to sacrifice one pint next, week. Sure, it takes up some of our time, it is an inconvenience, and there really isn't any reward--except for that unique sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from knowing you've helped someone when he needed you most.

Treernania' Revealed As Hoax To The Editor: The semester is now almost half over and in every issue of The Beacon some mention has been made of either trees or treemania. The coverage eminates exclusively from letters to the editor. But have the students really spoken (written)? Does there exist such a frivolous concern over trees? I think not. I contend that it is a fake, a ruse created by one student, and one student alone who has signed the letters with names from present day literature. I present evidence gained from the English Department, the Registrar's Office, and the testimony of Dr. Cox. Daniel A. -Miklander is not now, nor has he ever been a student at Wilkes. He is a well known playwright on the west coast whose works include "Further On," "Where Are You Ida Schlum?" and "Today Is My Day To Give Out Lollipops." L. Christofer Daryl is the author of the novel "A Disastrous Time in the Life of a Dreamer," and a collection of short stories entitled "Insouciance Palette." Robert Knorr is not an author but is the main character in I. Andrzey Somofs "Freedo111, than Peace."

Maybe there, you won't be troubled by poor student entertainment. Perhaps, you would be even better off at Miserecordia, where you could live a life of total celibacy. In t~e instance that y~u . 811' confounded by what this letter has to do with anything, we didn't like your review of the 'Legs contest! We don't hold anything against you personally; we merely feel that you were rather ambiguous. It's as ·if your'e commending A.I.B.S. for putting on a show in the first place, then condemning them for doing such a lousy job. Are you suffering from a mild form of schizophrenia? Face it, the only thing that you didn't cut down was the problems they had with the lights on stage. Of. course, how could they have known that the lights were · connected to the lavs in the front of the building? Pemaps I.E.E.E. could explain that. We also dont't believe Dr. Turoczi's quote. He speaks in circles, not squares. We hope that this litttle bit of criticism won't discourage you from continuing in your career as a critic. The other day, I saw an ad for a critic. I believe it was in PRAVDA. Obnoxiously, David J. McElwee Philip J. Spigarelli Dear David -and Philip: Thank you for your concerned response to my critique of the "Legs" contest. I am pleased to know that my opinion warranted such a powerful retort. I was commending the A.I.B.S. for "putting on a show in the first place," however, their "doing such a lousy job" was your misinterpreted paraphrase. I didn't wish to "condemn" anyone, it is only my opinion that legs don't stimulate me intellectually. I will respect anyone's opinion if it is justified and is not malicious. I had no intentions of maligning Dr. Turoczi. I respect the man as well as his position, and all quotations were direct. I especially appreciate your not wishing to offend me personally, as I realize your interest in my future literary pursuits. Gratefully, Lynn Sare certainly excludes him from being a student. Liljestrand was a poet and painter of the abstract expressionistic school. The letter signed "Harold Cox" has given the movement much of its credibility. But Dr. Cox did not write it. Fitting into the general trend, Dr. Cox is also an author. He has a · weekly newspaper column and has penned several books on the history of trolleys and streetcars. It is truly a shame . that this person, who ever he or she is, used Dr. Cox's name and thus tarnished his outstanding reputation as an author and scholar.

After receiving this letter we asked Dr. Cox if he actually did write the letter in last week's issue [which was signed]. He denied that he did, and indicated that evtry single treemania letter was written by the same person [and he knows who it is].

To The Editor: As a member of the Nursing Student Organization Grievance Committee, I feel responsible to respond to the article which appeared in the September 22 issue of The Beacon. This article discussed the viewpoints of three students who felt "misled and uninformed" by the Nursing Department and also alluded to the lack of communication within the Department. True, the nursing program was not accredited and perhaps this upset many students as well as the faculty.. and administration. The administration never stated that the program would definitely be accredited, they only stated that it appeared that it would and for this viewpoint they have documentation. Before one can intelligently complain about the non-accreditation one must first become knowedgeable of the complicated, involved, and time consuming efforts involved in attaining this goal. As a new department this writer feels, opinion only, that tte department should be acknowledged for their effective first attempt. Presently, the department is busy resolving the weak points which were submitted to them by the NLN and hope to reapply for accreditation by the Fall of 1978. Graduate schools and future employers are well aware of the complicated process of accreditation. Post graduates currently in graduate school or already employed can testify to this fact. If by change a student has . problems in his quest for employment, he should contact the administration at the Nursing Department and they personally will contact the employer involved and discuss the present situation. Finally, concerning the so-called "lack of communication" within the department, I would like to present the followingThere is a committee called the Grievance Committee which was established by the N.S.O. in April of 1977. This committee is a functional part of the NSO and was created solely for the solution of problems between students and faculty and-or administration. Avenues of solution begin with the class representative who was elected by his classmates to the N8.O. ' Problems should first be taken to the Representative and if there is no satisfaction at this level then take it to the level coordinator and if satisfaction is still not achieved it should be brought to the Grievance Committee. The problem will then be discussed in the presence of . the nursiqg student faculty or administrators directly related to the problem and the Grievance . Committee which consists of students and faculty. The Grievance Committee is the middle-man who listens to both sides of the problem and then with student and faculty seeks a solution. Therefore, the "lack of communication" can be related to a lack of understanding how to intelligently and orderly seek a solution to the problem. For communication to be present and effective problems should be discussed with the department of organization where the problem lies. Communication is a two-way street of giving and receiving information and when there is a lack of it, one should consider the previously explained process of solution and pursue these pathways until a state of effective communication is established. Bill Martin Member of the Grievance Committee Criticism Directed At Critic To The Editor: I was fortunate to receive a copy of The Beacon on the other side of 180. Whil~ reading it, I came across Pam Long's review of "Annie Hall" which infuriated me to the point of writing this letter. · Apart from her review differing from all the professional reviews I've read and the success of the film in San Francisco . and nationally, her criticism was completely shallow and unjustified. I respectfully suggest that part of Allen's "depression" comes from fools like Ms. Long who have the insight of a turnip. If Ms. Long finds the " ath.Jetic-pea brain" her ideal mate, I would think she would not want to publicize the fact. As far as the characters being "very shallow... and not constructed upon serious lines," I wonder if Ms. Long knows that the movie has strong autobiographical undertones? It is a dis-service to your readers, who might be foolish enough not to attend due to this ridiculous review, to print such poor critiques. As for Ms. Long, to quote her, she "might inspire in one a certain pity."

I stated last week, that Wilkes freshman harrier Danny Thomas was undefeated and unbeatable. Well, as my luck has been going lately with the Phillies and all, Thomas was nipped by one second in the Colonels 36-21 loss to Lebanon Valley at Kirby Park. The loss set the Colonels season record at 4-4-1, with an extra victory hanging in the wind. Coach Kevin Davenport, who has done as tremendous job · with Wilkes as Earl Weaver has done with the Orioles, said according to a rule book he found, the Blue and Gold's tie should be a win, with Wilkes taking the better of the top four places in the contest. The jury is out on the fact and we'll have the ruling reported before Perry Mason gets · involved. Meanwhile, back at the Kirby Park ranch, where Wilkes fell to • ,?r:7 Lebanon Valley. Thomas was defeated by Bob Stachow, who set a new course record with a clocking of 26: 22. Thomas , finished second, for the first time all year, with a time of 26: 23. Stachow, a third-place finisher in last year's Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament, battled Thomas neck-in-neck throughout the race before pulling ahead in the final mile, and passing Thomas in the last 100 yards. Finishing behind Thomas for Wilkes were: Ed Eppler, sixth, 28:06; Dave Boris, seventh, 28:29; Don Patrick, tenth, 28:57; Dan Rittenhouse, eleventh, 29: 36; Jeff Davis, 12th, 29: 52; Roger Davis, 13th, 29: 57; Vince D'Amato, 14th, 30:09; and Dave Kerek, 15th, 30: 52.

JOIN US ON OCTOBER · 14th, 15th, 16th HOMECOMING '77 - A TRIBUTE TO THE GOLDEN HORDE DON'T MISS IT Colonel Gridders Still .Winless; Moravian Rivalry Renewed Pride; an oft-maligned term. It is often carelessly tossed about when an 0-4 team prepres to meet a 1-3 team in the middle of a season; when publicity men are struggling for some point of interest in order t o somehow draw a crowd. " Well, since we are hopelessly out of the title race and there' s lit tle or no chance for a winning record, t here must be something we are playing for. I can't think of anything. Hum, let's try pride," mutters some half-crazed journalist to t he football c·oach. " That's as good as anything I can t hink of," mutters t he coach in reply. "Let's go with t hat approach." The Wilkes-Moravia n matchup does not produce that kind of a stereotype when the word pride enters t he discussions. There is nothing fake about t hese two institutions and t here is not hing fake about t heir football programs. Gut-level pride goes deep. Deep into the revered past, into what has gone before. This is t he kind of pride t hat will be at stake tomorrow. It is not something to be salvaged, it is to be savored. The Wilkes-Moravian contests are 23 years old. A very Jong time to sustain a rivalry. It is the longest in Wilkes football history and there . will be some real emotion on that playing field tomorrow. Moravian is struggling through an unusually difficult season. Their first win came last week at t'he expense of Western Maryland after opening the season with successive losses to Dickenson, Delaware Valley, and Widener. Their previously slumbering offense finally came to life when incumbent quarterback Dave Kishbaugh was replaced by sophomore Daryl Eppley. It was Eppley's first start and he performed marvelously, completing 10-12 passes for 139 yards and 1 TD in the 28-14 conquest. Another key figure in the rejuvinated offense of the Greyhounds was Bob Ternoski. The senior captain had been injured in the early part of the year but reacted to his return to the lineup spectacularly. He rushed for 93 yards on 22 carries and his mere presence uplifted the spirits of the proud Moriivfan team. Ternoski's sidekick, junior Bob Meyer had almost a carbon copy of the day that the captain had. Meyer rushed for 95 yards on 22 carries and also added 2 TD's. After slumbering through the initial portion of the year, Ed McGettigan was a major surprise last week as he garnered 228 total offensive yards for the Greyhounds. He was all over the place, returning 4 kickoffs for 138 yards, snap while punting and Tom ca tching 5 passes for 85 yards and Yuhas and Chris O' Brien tackled ·a t ouchdown, and gaining 5 more him in t he endzone for a safety. yards on a running play.

The Colonels are expected to have a busy week as they are scheduled to entertain Baptist Bible yesterday and will face the University of-Scranton in t he Homecoming contest on Saturday at 10: 30 at Ralston Field. It was the third straight week of rain and mud which played havoc for the Colonel hooters. Moravian won the lopsided victory by making 29 shots on goal, compared to only 14 goal shots by t he Colonels. The only Colonel to hit the nets was fres hman Dung Chi Duong, a graduate of Bishop Hoban High School and formerly from Viet Nam. The goal came midway through the second half and was unassisted. Junior goalie Joe Stephens had 23 saves for t he Colonel cause. Stephens is replacing fres hman Cliff Brautigan who is expected to be taken off t he injured list sometime this week and may see action in Saturday's contest. Co-captains Mario Apuzzo and Tony Apostolaros played fine games but the Colonels couldn't penetrate t he Moravian defense. Also making a fi ne showing for t he Blue and Gold were Nick Golowich, Nicholas Pitsas, and Joe P iccone. Coach Eaton is hoping to turn t he tables and start to build in the win column in the second half of t he season which begins in the Scranton game. The Royals are a much tougher team t han their humble 2-4 record indicates and t he Colonel hooters will have to be on the top of t heir game to beat t hem; Last season, Wilkes lost a 3-1 decision to t he Royals. Looking ahead on the schedule, t he Colonels will travel to Albright on Thursday, October 20 and face * Elizabethtown on October 22. Bob Gaetano Last Thursday, t he Colonelette tennis team's winning streak came to a halt when the Bloomsburg State H uskies came t o town. The larger Bloom unit haunted Wilkes with another shutout and defeated t he Blue and Gold, 9-0. · On P arent's Day, the team split a doubleheader wit h Bapt ist Bible and the ever t ough Seton H all. In the first of t he two matches, Wilkes defeated Bible, 6-1. Victories were evident for Colonelettes Canfield, Pugliese, Corbett, and Polacheck. Debbie-Welliver's effort went in vain as she was defeated by BB C' s Kathy Green, 6-2, 6-2. The Colonelettes swept house in the doubles as Jan Wolf-Linda McG uire flew by BB C's Donna Weims-Jay Tingley, 6-0, 6-2; and Wilkes Judy Bellas-Rosie McMahon uproot ed BBC' s Chiquit o Otto-Debbie Olie, 6-2, 6-2. In their second match against Seton Hall, the Colonelettes were crushed by the North Jersey school, 6-1. Wilkes Jan Wolf was defeated by Robi Cunningham, 6-0, 6-2. Seton' s petite blonde ace, Brenda Lupo put coals on t he fire as she- defeated Reenie Corbett, 6-1, 6-0. Hall's Tina Sullivan defeated Diane Polacheck, 6-1, 6-1. Co-captain Sally Steele had her work cut out for her but she just couldn't get it going as she was defeated by Donna Dourney, 6-1, 6-0. Oh, thank heaven for doubles, since Wilkes stopped a shutout with Jo Ann Pugliese-Laura Canfield's win over the Hall's Cheryl Bode-Phyllis Magina in an exciting match, 6-3, 7-5. However, Wilkes lost its remaining two matches in doubles. Wilkes coach Sandy Bloomberg stated after the Seton Hall match,"! am very pleased with all the girls performances against Bloom and Seton Hall, as it is this type of competition that will enable our team to be better throughout the remainder of this season and in the future." And Coach Bloomberg' s words were not wasted as Wilkes defeated Williamsport' s Lycoming College, 6-1 on Tuesday. Back in style, Reenie Corbett defeated Kim Eddy, 6-0, 6-2. For Warrior Gina Shinshidian, the sun didn' t shine as sout hpaw Colonelette Jan Wolf won, 6-2, 6-4. Newcomer Jay Ornsby looked sharp under pressure as she defeated Warrior Sue Burch, 6-1, 7-5. Debbie Welliver just can't win that first set, as she lost to Kitty Strunk, 6-2, 7-6. Jo Ann Pugliese tip-toed by Lycoming's Annie Parry in the first set, 7-6, and hung on to defeat Parry in the second set, 6-3. It was embarrassing for Lycoming, as their first doubles players Jill Deisler-Liz Thompson never showed up, therefore Sally Steele-Linda McGuire had the day off with a win by default. In the second doubles match , Wilkes Judy Bellas-Rosie McMahon gained their composure and defeated Lycoming's Sue Butterworth-Lisa Woof. The next t wo matches for the Colonelettes are both at Ralston Field. At 3 p.m. tomorrow they face the ladies of Marywood and on Tuesday the school down t he road, King' s is the foe.

Kevin Roland starred for the Studs with one touchdown pass to Chip Pufko, and two TD's of his own. Thanks for relaying this info, Kevin. For the Smegmas, (runner-ups the past three years) Greg Tomcho again led the attack with four TD passes. The Beacon' s pick in the Smegmas-Studs game is the Smegmas by a score of 21-14. In the West, it was again the New Riders dealing out some heavy punishment, this time to Priapus House, 44-0.

The stats from the Wilkes-Delaware Valley game are a good example as Wilkes held the edge in every depart ment except goals. The game ended in a 1-1 tie. To say the least, t he team was very frustrated in gaining merely a tie against Del Val. The Colonels outshot t heir opponents 32 to 11 and led t hem in penalty com ers 18 to 3. But it just wasn't their day as they lacked good execution and handed t he ball a way several times. The defense got caught off guard throughout t he game as the team was trying so hard t o score t hat they forgot their defensive responsibilities. Once again, Jean Johnson and Monica Krammer saved some key shots by the opponents. . On attack, the team got several good rushes but failed to score more than one goal. Ronna Colvin scored the lone goal on an assist by Pam Snyder. Barb Gorgas and Marie Elko had some great rushes but just ·couldn't find the goal. .Coach Meyers felt that the loss was "exasperating," stating, "Delaware Valley plays us tough every year and their defense kept us out throughout the game. We just couldn't do two things right in a row- and that hurt us for the whole game." Things didn't get any better on Thursday as the girls suffered a 4-2 setback to Bloomsburg State. Wilkes started the game by executing perfectly, but later in the contest the bottom fell out. Wilkes took the early lead as Pam Snyder took a pass from Jerry Ann Smith and flicked the ball over the goalie' s head and into the cage. The lead was short-lived as Bloomsburg scored three goals late in the first half to take a solid 3-1 lead. .When the second half started, the team looked sharp once again. With only three minutes gone in the half, Mary Jo Frail sent a beautiful back pass to Jerry Ann Smith who shot it in for the second and final Colonel goal. Following that goal, Bloomsburg went on the .attack and controlled the tempo for the rest of the game. Fine defensive efforts by Karen Worlinsky and Lee Ann Earl kept Wilkes close. " Wilkes played part-time hockt;ly," stated a disappointed Coach Meyers. " Part of the time we played well and the other part we looked dreadful." Wilkes played the majority of the game without co-captain Barb Gorgas who was forced · to leave the contest with muscle cramps. Julie Kerrick filled in admirably but losing any player definitely hurts the teams' performance. In the JV contest, Bloomsburg was victorious again 4-0. Bloom has 40 people out for hockey so their JV team plays together as a unit constantly. Experiencing a lack of players, Wilkes cannot do the same. Margo Diesenhouse and Elizabeth Powell are showing steady improvement. Goalie Dawn Evans made some nice saves but paid for it by getting hit in the shoulder with a stick. It is not yet known how badly she is injured. .Th.e varsity record is now 2-3-1 while the JV team has a 1-2 slate. · Dave Jolley Men 's and Women·s Hair Styling YOUR FATHERS MUSTACHE PENN PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER Wilkes Barre Pa.

Two to three million dollars can be raised for a new dormitory, an addition to the College gym or building U£ the endowment fund which are all being considered by the administration. Just recently the three student leaders: Tom Bazzini, IDC president; Louis DeRobertis, CC president and Carl Holsberger, SG president expressed their personal opinions towards the priority of the campaign. A new dormitory was cited as the utmost priority by both Bazzini and DeRobertis. They argued that a new dorm is needed when considering "that approximately 100 students are living down at the Hotel Sterling." From another view, Holsberger stated "what I would really like to see built, that would benefit more students, would be a new Student Union Building." He feels this would benefit more students on the academic and social aspects of student life. Such a facility would have space for dances, films and other aspects which yields an unlimited scope. Holsberger did, however, concede to the fact that based on feasibility a new dormitory would have to be the number one priority. The Student Union Building was listed second by both DeRobertis and Bazzini. DeRobertis stated that he would like to see a brand new building if possible or a vast improvement to our present one citing the same reasons as Holsberger. Bazzini would also like to see a "new" fa,cility noting this would allow for both dormitory and commuter WNEP-TV To Televise Sigma Xi Discussion students to get together on a social level. Again the CC and IDC presidents are in agreement feeling that a new parking ramp is needed and should be considered as the third goal of the campaign, They also agreed that an addition to the gym is needed and should be considered as the fourth goal. In fact DeRobertis strongly noted that "a gym should have no priority over a parking ramp" when considering the need for parking on campus. Holsberger recognizes the parking problem on campus but stated that "building a ramp is not the answer." "The problem doesn't lie here on campus," Holsberger said "because Park and Lock gives us a good deal." He also feels that economically such a facility is out of the question. When considering the need for an addition to the gym, Holsberger stated it would have to be placed low. He would love to see a new gym but also feels that the other needs of the ··College are stronger.

Jim Edwards Student Union Director Explains Party Policies To All Wilkes Students: As Student Union Director, I would like to inform Wilkes students about the Student Union Building (SUB) and its facilities. As stated by college policy, party tickets are not allowed to be sold at the door because this would make the SUB and the sponsoring organization in violation of Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Jaws. However, many Wilkes students realize that this preceding statement has not been enforced because tickets have been sold around the SUB and Commons areas Jong after the scheduled start of the party. We have allowed suc·h actions to occur in the past because the sponsoring organization was unable to sell all their tickets beforehand. And so, not to lose money on their party, we have allowed them to sell the extra tickets at the door. However, instead of selling them to only Wilkes students, the sponsoring organizations have been selling them to anyone who appears at the door with their money in hand, regardless of age. The Wilkes College Chapter of Sigma Xi will hold its first meeting on Sunday, October23 at 12: 30 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. The topic of the meeting will be air pollution and ' the local daily air quality index, which was recently introduced. The meeting will be a panel discussion, which will include audienc~ participation, and which will be televised by WNEP-TV, Channel 16.

Therefore, from now on, to alleviate this problem, all tickets must be sold before the party begins. Tickets for a weekend party can be purchased in the Commons the week of the party, at the usual area between 11 and 1, and also in the New Mens Dorm lobby at mealtimes. Fire laws and limited size of the basement only allow 150 tickets to be sold. So don't complain if you can't get in. Buy your tickets during the week. This. will allow us to bring Wilkes students together and to keep out those who don't belong there. Two to Three Million Expected As Goal The college is presently in the planning stages of a Capital Gifts Campaign, which conceivably could raise two to three million dollars over three to five years. A campaign of this•kind, usually conducted every five or seven years, has as its purpose the raising of a substantial amount of money for some special purpose. The most recent Wilkes campaigns have been for the construction of the library, the Stark Learning Center, and after the flood in 1972. These campaigns are held in addition to the annual fund drive. Dr. .Thomas Kelly; dean of external affairs, explained that the Goals of the College Committee last year identified several college needs, including additional dorm space, a larger endowment fund, expanded physical education facilities and a new Student Union building. After a feasibility study was conducted by Marts and Lundy, a professional fund-raising council, the Board of Trustees voted to go ahead with the campaign planning. The fo,rmation of two committees was authorized--one to devise plans for the campaign and the other to advise and counsel the first group. The second committee includes students and faculty members. Their initial work will help determine how much money the campaign can yield, which will then lead to a consideration of the goals. Dean Kelly outlined the following possible goals (not listed in order of priority): 1. the construction of a student living complex. This proposal rests in part on the decision of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to which Wilkes has applied for a loan. 2. help in meeting annual needs. 3. addition to the endowment fund, the interest of which is used for scholarship and operating purposes. The principal is invested and is used only in rare situations. Wilkes presently has what is considered a modest endowment of three million dollars. 4. addition to the gym to alleviate overcrowding. 5. a new Student Union Building. 6. repayment of flood expenses. A parking ramp was not identified as one of the major needs, and Dr. Kelly commented that such a facility is "one of the hardest things to raise money for," since it does not attract name gifts, and further, that operating costs may make the facility econnomically undesirable.

Corn Nursing .S:fUden, Confirms Uni ca f i On Prob I e,ns I With the advent_ of !he ~apital Gifts Campaign ~n the not-so-di~tant future, attent10n 1s bemg focused on the possible goals of this effort. Naturally most people are thinking in tenns of concrete proposals, such as the construction of various college facilities. A new dorm, a bigger and better gym, a larger Student Union Building, a parking ramp seem to be the major attractions, along with such proposals as additions to the endowment fund and assistance in meeting annual needs. . Discussions on the feasibilty of goals will begin next month. Although the Board of Trustees will make the final decision, student input will be considered. We should therefore begin to consider some of the major goal possibilities. A new dorm is a glaring need, say proponents. With well over a hundred students living in Hotel Sterling, the need for an additional facility is obvious. Also, the historical homes used to house students are becoming costly to maintain, and unfortunately, the atmosphere they lend to the campus is becoming less important than the maintenance problems they create. A parking ramp is also reportedly a worthy proposal. Commuters and dorm students alike are well aware of the parking problems on campus. But raising funds for such a project would supposedly be difficult, and the presence of Park and Lock de-emphasizes the urgency of this need. It is said that a new SUB would greatly improve social life on campus. A larger building may add a number of new dimensions to campus social and academic life, and would also benefit all students. A new addition to the gym would also be a welcome sight. With the Colonel sports program growing each year, practice schedules are becoming crowded and priorities are confficting. The present gym is also not large enough to accomodate large crowds for concerts or big-name lecturers, and the further expansion of the athletic program is hampered by the limited facilities. It may be diificµlt to stress this goal in a.college that is noted for emphasizing academic achievements , however. Enlarging the endowment fund, while not an exciting proposal, is nevertheless and important one. It must be remembered that \Vhile ALL these proposals are important, only a limited number will be realized after this campaign. But although we will probably never see even the beginning of these goals while we are students, we have a responsibilty to assist in any way we can to help make the definition of these goals successful and meaningful. We have an obligation to future Wilkes students to help with decisions that will affect them, just as our predessors did for us. For this reason, we have included a survey form in this issue in order to gaim some significant student input, which we feel can be important in the decision-making that will be taking place. Although a great deal of time and effort remains to be given before any decisions are made, now is the time to be heard if you have anything to say .

I am aware of the Grievance Committee of the NSO. Last year it supposedly went to the Grievance Committee that the students felt there was a lack of communication between the Nursing Depart ment and t he students. What was done about it? I see no improvement in communication. I still feel up in the air about many things. My mai.n question is what did the NLN find wrong with the Wilkes College Nursing program? Yes, I have asked the faculty including Mrs. McHenry. I have yet to get even close to a complete answer. Is it my business to know? Yes, I feel it is. My future career is involved. Many graduate schools and employers are very understanding of the fact that it is a new program and NLN accreditation is a long and tedious procedure . Others are not. I have heard from a very reliable source that a Wilkes College graduate from the Nursfog Department has his Master's degree pending on Wilkes accreditation. This is just one instance, but I want everyone to be realistic about the whole thing. I think Provost Soter's article published The Beacon of Sept. 22 is a perfect example of the lack of communication between the Nursing Department and the rest of the school. Some of Provost Soter' s comments were not quite accurate. True, five new "fully credentialled" faculty members were hired, but what about the other three· new not "fully credentialled" faculty members. As for Mr. Martin's beef about Students A,B and C complaining non-intelligently, I do hot think •t••··················· Letters to t he editor al"" welcomed a nd encouraged.

VOL. 1--No. VI . "DRINKING RESPONSIBLY" Booze is one of man's oldest forms of pharmalogical entertainment. Today, its largest use is as a social drug. Very _ Rarely is a college freshman · going to get through the first year without experimenting with alcohol. If you choose to drink, drink responsibly. Alcohol is a DRUG and your drinking behavior now will determine your drinking practices later in life. Responsible drinking may be an asset to your life as a new student. Irresponsible drinking may cause you to miss classes, exams, or ruin a newly found relationship. One of the most important decisions you will make as a freshman is why, when, where and how to drink. Generally, the college • freshmen drink socially to (a) enhance a meal (b) have some fun on a weekend (c) as an excuse to get to know someone (d) for custom (e) other reasons. Responsible drinking is handling alcohol in ways which do not harm yourself or otha-s. Here are a •few tips for drinking responsibly: -Your drinking should be an asset to an activity rather than a primary purpose. - Your drinking should be used carefully in connection with other drugs. --Your drinking should improve social relationships ratha- than destroy them. --Your drinking should enhance human dignity. · Irresponsible drinking indicates that you have a drinking problem and that you are a social· problem to the educational community in which you live. Freshmen will be irresponsible drinkers if they: • --Get drunk frequently. --Drink alone. --Start the day with a drink. --Experience "passing out." --Drink to remove a hangover. --Require medical attention from the use of alcohol. --Experience personality or behavior changes after a few drinks . --Miss classes because of a hangover. --Gulp drinks for euphoria. --Use rationalization relative to drinking, e.g., "I need one for the road." The problem for new freshmen is "Can I drink responsibly?" You can if you want to. If you can't, see a college counselor as soon as possible. Remember: Alcohol is a legal drug which can harm you and others only if you drink irresponsibly. However, other students drink responsibly and they love the life they live. �October 20, 1977, The Beacon Paae 5 r..,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,....,....,....,...,...,...,....,...,...,....,._,....,....,....,...,.J.:r...C,,-..,.....c,o--..,....,....,.....,....,....,....,...,..,..,..,...,.~ I Brooks Robinson Claimed I§ Mind Designs i § ~~~--~ § White's No. l Su erstar I I By Pam Long EDITOR'S NOTE:Eddie White,Assl Sports, Editor of the Beacon spent his summer going to major-league baseball games and meeting different ballplayers. Eddie met such teams as the Dodgers,Phillies,Reds,Orioles White Sox and Braves.in addition to meeting Dorothy Hamill and Muhammed Ali. Here is his story on the most cordial athlete he met. The date was early summer, June 1~,1977. I had just walked out of the Chicago White Sox dugout, where the only ramp to get from the stands to tl- fie!J L'l located in Baltimore's Me~orial Stadium. As I watched the Orioles take batting practice, or ' 'B.P.," as ex-Oriole coach Billy Hunter called it, I noticed a familiar figure at third base, scooping up l{rnund balls . § O I S i8 §S Ssu o 8 8 R ~ ~ N §8 l :« """ Brooks and Eddie White . baseball's Hall of Cooperstown, N.Y.

The plot, a contemporary one slightly resembling that of" A Star o Is Born" yet far from being that fully developed, is a love story played side by side with the story of a singer's struggle to become a star. Yet there seem to exist no concrete developments; that is, there is nothing you can "take with you" as is usually the feeling inspired ~ by a love story.It is difficult to explain why Laura (Didi Conn) ended up in her particular situation at the end of the movie, and that tends to baffle one. As love stories don't always appear extremely O explicit in conveying reasons for character actions, they usually do present "something to go on,"some situation or characteristic ~ which might be even remotely responsible f!}r the conclusion. The - ~ conclusion to "You Light Up My Life," while it is not wished that the outcome be outstanding, so much as to imply our ignorance, ~ does tend to leave one rather "hanging in space." ~ Laura appears to be prone to making mistakes during the course of the show. Her affair with Chris, a movie director, seems -un explainable indeed, unless we define it as "one last fling," as Chris himself suggests. But Laura does not even tell us her motive for 5l staying with this fellow, whom she had not previously known. The ~ whole incident seems rather odd, in any moral sense, when we find ~ that this same Laura is to attend her own wedding rehearsal that very afternoon. When Laura falls in love with Chris she fulfills her second mistake. As a result, she cancels her engagement only to later end up §8 alone on a highway to New York with a number one song as her consolation. We are never told why the suitor loses interest in her, an interestwhich indeed appears to be rather over pearing at their first ~ acquaintance. N Perhaps it is not safe to say that Laura as a singer experiences a "struggle" at all. Her success with regard to her music career resembles an "over-night sensation." The real conflicts in her life deal with breaking away from a comic act instigated by her father, and 8 of course, her "love life" situation. She succeeds in solving the first problem, which sends her to New York with a-hit record, but her previou emotional relationships are ended, and this being the case, s we are left to dub in our own interpretations regarding the situation.

'Page 6, The Beacon, October 20, 1977 Tie Turned Into Win Wilkes Harriers 6-4 The Wilkes College cross country team picked up two victories this week, one from a meet, and one from the rule book. Wilkes defeated Albright College, 23-32 last Wednesday at Kirby Park to raise its season mark to 5-4-1, the best in the school's history. The Colonel's one tie has been turned into a Blue and Gold win, as the rule book states: In case of a tie, the top four finishers are looked at. The team with the most points out of th~ top four places wins the meet. Wilkes had the most points and subsequently garnered the victory, sending the Colonels into Tuesday's clash with the always tough Susquehanna Crusaders with a record of 6-4. In the Albright encounter, Danny Thomas posted his ninth first place finish in 10 meets, covering the 4.9 Colonel course with a clocking of 26:55. Thomas, the 5-10, 129 pound freshman from Wyoming Valley West, has just been unreal in this record-breaking 1977 season. Placing second to Thomas was Albright's Jim Strickland, who ran the race in 27: 57. Wilkes captured third and fourth places with Dave Boris, 28:06, and Ed Eppler, 28:25. Following behind Eppler for the Blue and Gold were: Don Patrick, sixth place, 28:40; Vince D' Amato, ninth place, 29:36; Dave Kerek, 11th, 30:01; Dan Rittenhouse, 12th, 30:11; Roger Davis, 13th, 30:25; Mark Zavoy, 15th, 30:59; Jeff Davis, 16th, 31:27; and Pete Kowalchick, 16th, 31:27. The Colonels, under the guidance of mentor Kevin Davenport and the Blue Colonel in the sky, will entertain Elizabethtown tomorrow afternoon at Kirby Park in their last home meet of this exciting season. Wilkes will travel to meet the "Rock and Roll" Scranton University Royals next Wednesday, Oct. 25, and try to make amends for an earlier loss to the Scranton team. Eddie White Smith, Gorgas Make All-Star Team The Wilkes College women's field hockey team was represented well at the Mideast Umpiring Conference held at Mercersburg Academy in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania October8 and 9. Jerry Ann Smith and Barb Gorgas were both selected, marking the first time in Wilkes history that two Colonels placed on the All-Star team. The selections were made following last years Susquehanna Field Hockey Association Tournament which was held at Wilkes in November. By being selected, the girls were eligible to play with the Susquehanna Association team at the Umpiring Conference. The purpose of the conference is to provide top level play over a weekend in an effort to rate field hockey officials. Playing at the conference benefited Jerry Ann and Barb in several ways. It provided them with top level competition against highly skilled players and gave them important knowledge that they brought back to the Wilkes team. Perhaps most importantly, they had the honor of representing Wilkes College at a first rate hockey tournament. Members of the Susquehanna team are from Wilkes, Lock Haven State, Bloomsburg State, Susquehanna University, and Bucknell University. The associations participating were Susquehanna, Finger Lakes, Central Pennsylvania, Lancashire, :Pittsburgh, and Buffalo. Jerry Ann is a field hockey veteran having played four seasons at Conestoga Valley High School in addition to her experience at Wilkes. Barb played three years of hockey while at Swarthmore High School, but never played varsity until coming to Wilkes. Jean Johnson, Colonel's outstanding defensive player, was named to the second team of the All-Stars two years ago. Dave Jolley ' . - tr•r ,. I' WHOA - Mike Wilson's ride comes to an abrupl hall as he gets knocked out of bounds along lhe sideline. Mike took over the quarterbacking reigns after Billy Sparks was hurl and led the Colonels to tht•ir first vic·tor:v of the season: a t:J-7 decision over the Moravian Greyhounds. IN THE CENTER RING - Tightend Paul Wengen and a dastardly defensive back perform a juggling act for possession of a loose ball. Paul has been able to come up with the ball more often than not and leads lhe team with 10 receplions. Perhaps . a sad commenlary on the Wilkes passing game is lhat Billy Sparks, despite only playing in a game and a half, still is the leading Colonel passer. This makes Wengen's accomplishments even more amazing. (Pholo by Bob Gaelano) Wilkes Garners Victory; Now Look To Be Saoilers It is somehow ironic. Just after the Colonels posted their first win of the season, they now must face the best team in the MAC North and by far the toughest team on the schedule. It has been that kind of a year for the gridders . A bright spot followed immediately by impending doom. It was an exciting weekend in more ways than one when Moravian rolled into town. Homecoming weekend saw much activity on the Wilkes campus with the highlight being the honoring of the "Golden Horde. " But any resemblances of the 1977 edition to the 1968 edition of the Schmidtmen were strictly coincidental. The Colonels defeated Moravian by a score of 13-7 but it was hardly an impressive victory. But at this point in the season, they'll take anything they can get. It is hard to tell whether the Wilkes defense was so outstanding as to completely stymie the Greyhound offense or whether in actuality they are really that bad. The same can be said for the Moravian defense concerning the Wilkes offense. In any event, it can be safely said that it was a defensive battle. Keeping in mind the source, the Colonel defense played extremely well. The Greyhounds had only one significant drive all afternoon -but it led to their score. Moravian captain, Bob Ternoski bulled over from the one yard line with three seconds remaining in the third quarter. Ed Jasiewicz added the point to cap the only Moravian scoring. The TD came at the end of a 10-play, 60-yard drive, keyed by a 31-yard pass completion from Dave Kishbaugh to Stu Feinberg. Moravian ha d be e n having offe nsive problems all year until two weeks ago when they defeated Western Maryland with sophomore Daryl Eppley at the QB helm. Senior Kishbaugh took over again last week against the Colonels after his · brief demotion, but it's a sure bet that Eppley will get another shot this week. Defensive highlights were the name of the game for the Colonels. Headhunting middle linebacke r Tony Couto was phenominal. He was involved in virtually every tackle and when he wasn't making a tackle, he was forcing the play in another direction. Certainly a key play was his interception of a Kisbaugh pass in the fourth quarter. Mark Arcure made ·a diving deflection while breaking up a pass attempt and Couto grabbed the rebound and returned it 15 yards to get the Colonels out of some trouble. Bill Sobczak also made one of the most important plays of the game when he fell on a fumbled pitchout at the Wilkes 34. The Colonel offense had fumbled deep in their own territory to put Moravian in good position but Sobczak's play ended that threat. Freshman Ed Mollahan accounted for half of the Wilkes scoring when he crushed the ball when he fell on it in the endzone. The big defensive tackle from Dover was awarded the WBRE MVP award for his outstanding play. Both he and Jim Devaney were in the Moravian huddle virtually all day. Again, the Wilkes offense had few highlights. One of them was the return to the lineup of Bill Sparks but that was short lived glee. After a broken bone in his thumb had sidleined him for four weeks, he suffered strained ligaments in his right knee and will be lost to the Colonel attack for an undetermined amount of time. Mike Wilson took over for Sparks in the second quarter because Bill Slavoski was also injured. Wilson directed the only Wilkes drive, a 42yard, seven play jaunt that was capped by Ed Murray's 4 yard TD. It marked the first time that the Colonels have scored via the ground attack this season. Carmen Lopresto led all Wilkes rushers with 67 yards on 17 carries. Including some breakaway runs of 12 and 14 yards. The 14 yarder looked like it was going to be a 79 yard TD but he had stepped out of bounds. The Wiikesmen are going to have to play virtually flawless football Saturday if they expect to stay even close to the Albright Lions. The Lions are closing in on their third consecutive MAC title and it looks as though Upsala is the only team with a shot at them. A look at their MAC stats gives an idea of their complete domination of the league. They are 4-0 and leading every important statistical category. Tops in total team offense and defense , yielding only 161. 7 yards while gaining an average of 395.7. Fairly impressive! Their wishbone offense almost never cracks, sporting an incredible rushing team. Three of the top five rushers in the league are from Albright. Jeff Welch leads the league (68-399 ) followed by Dave Kalodner (60-296 l in turn followea by fifth place Dan Daly (49-247). Veteran QB Pat Sharp engineers the rushing offense. When it's time to throw the Lions aren't exactly suffering either. Although they are primarily a running team, they have the fourth ranked passer in Bill DeNichols. They also score quite a bit, having three of the top five in the league's scoring ranks in Daly, Welch, and DeNichols. Mark Redmond anchors an offensive line that is peerless. He was an All-MAC and ECAC performer last season and has plenty of help from his friends. The Albright defense is also quite formidable. All-MAC tackle Kevin Kelley and Mark Crow hold down the fort while All-MAC linebacker Ray Granger and safety Rod Neary roam the backfield . Leading the league in both offense and defense and shooting for a third consecutive MAC crown; if they keep this up they'll be calling them the "Cardinal and White Horde." Jeff Acornley �The first" snowstorm of the season last Monday was an omen of things to come on the Wilkes athletic scene. It was the opening of practice for the winter athletic teams on the campus. Hopefully, they will begin playing up a storm when the opening of-the.winter sea.sons come. Six weeks of long hard training started in the Wilkes gym on Monday and the fruits of labor won't begin to be seen until after Th~nksgiving. The primary winter sport at Wilkes is, of course, wrestling and deservedly so. Coach John Reese has done a yeoman job with his grapplers year after year. Last season was perhaps the finest in the school's history when they posted a 17-3 mark. They also ranked fourth in the Eastern Tournament and qualified to send four wrestlers to the National Tournament in Oklahoma. Graduation has taken four of the wrestlers from Reese's starting lineup and those gaps will have to be ulled. This year's schedule is one of the toughest in Wilkes wrestling history. It features such national powers as Penn State, Lehigh, Syracuse, Oregon State, Tennessee, North Carolina and Oklahoma. Basketball mentor Roger Bearde's headaches are hopefully over. Last season was a series of continuous nightmares for the Colonel cagers and Bearde is hoping that he and his players will be able to turn the program around. A 7-15 record was posted last year but they have only lost one player due to graduation, The women's cage team and the combined mens and womens swimming team round out the Colonel winter sports activities. The winter teams are being counted on to help bring back an aura of respectibility to the 1977 sports teams at Wilkes. At least it won't rain inside of the gym!

The tennis team under the guidance of Publiese and fellow c1rcaptain Sally Steele as well 'lS coach Sandy Bloomburg are still undefeated in league play and are shooting for their third consecu tive NWPIAA title. HAND - Th e 1977 wom e n ' s te nnis season has been a long, cold, but prosperous one for Coach Sandy Bloomberg and he r Colone lettes. Presently, the women are 6-4 overall , and they are undefeated , 6-0 in league action. In the beginning or the season , many people wondered if the team could keep up the good work, as they lost the services of JoAnn Englot, Patty Steele, Chris Koterba, and Sharon Wilkes. The loss of these four letterwomen through graduation placed the burden on returning letterwomen : co-captains Sally Steele and Joann Pugliese, Reenie Corb e tt and Diane Polachek. Also a ssisting in this task were : Judy Bellas, Jon Wolf, Linda McGwire, Laura Canfield, Rose McMahon, Jay Ormsby, and Debbie Welliver. The team has kept on the winning track but their record has been blemished with four nonleague matches a ga inst Lock Ha ven, Buckne ll , Blooms burg and Seton Hall. The four losses against these teams may have marred the Colonelettes' bid for a perfecr overall record in 1977, but the experience learned from such defeats is invaluable. In addition, it is exposure to teams like Bloomsburg, Seton Hall, Lock Haven and Bucknell, which will e nable the women to play matches a g ainst more rugged competition in the future. So far this season , the Colonelettes have defeated Bible Baptist College , College Misericordia, Lycoming, King's College, and the University of Scranton twice in almost un, contested bouts, as the Wilkes ' women took control from the beginning of all six matches. Thus, the Wilkes' women have fou nd the path to winning ways, and if their record this year is a vision of years to come, then the Colonelettes will be staying in the championship spotlight for a long time. Against Baptist Bible College, the Wilkes tennis team had three exhibition matches. In singles action, Colonelette Dianne Reznick defeated her apponent, Debbie Shore, 6-2, 6-2. However, Dianne's teammate , Karen Kretchmer didn't have as much luck, as she was defeated by BBC 's Donna Weems, 6-2, 6-2. For Colonelettes ' Maryann Morgan and Joy Ormsby, it was a day to be happy, as they went on to defeat BBC's Tenna Fazerberg and Nancy Taylor, 6-0, 6-0. This afternoon, the Colonelettes travel to Dunmore to face Marywood College. The match is the last scheduled for 1977, so if you can make the trip to see this fine Wilkes' team, you will see a lot of action. Time of match is 3 :30 p.m . Bob Ausura West; SmeglJ!llS Beat Studs Beacon A_nalyst Correct The big and just abou\ only action in Intramural Football this past week came about in the contest for first place in the Western Division between two previously unbeaten teams, The Studs and ,T he Smegmas. The game was close all the way, with Steve "Snake" Grasley and Nick Gard scoring TD's for the Studs, while Smegma Mike Vassil carried his team with three TD receptions. Tony DeVincentes, who covered(???) Vassil all game long, did a fine job, holding him to 40yards per catch, only 25 above his average. Action in this game got most intense in the fourth quarter when after scoring two safeties to draw within one point (1817) of the Smegmas, the Studs got the ball and drove to the Smegma 10-yard line with only a minute to ' play. The following play, however, resulted in a disputed call which could cost the Studs the Western flag, and referee Bill Polaha his job. The hand-off was given ·to Stud halfback Nick Gard who tried to slice off tackle, only to have the ball stolen a split second before (or is it after) his flag was snagged. The crook on this play was Bob "Beanno" Owens, a reknowned cheap-shot artist , and lousy softball hitter, who lumbered with the ripped-off pigskin 90 yards for a game clinching -touchdown. That score made it 25-17, which is the exact score the Beacon's expert intramural anaylsts predicted a week ago. The loss puts serious dents in the Studs title hopes, since in the play-offs they will now be· forced to play the Eastern Division champion New Rider's in their first game, a team nobody has even come close to beating. Champs ~ year ago, the Rider'·s are 5-0, with an offense that averages 51 points and a defense that has allowed a chinsy five points per game. Since the Smegmas have now won the West, they will play the team who comes in second place in the East, probably Slocum Hall now that the STX have folded due to financial difficulties. GRID BITS: This years most improved team has been Slocum by far. Prior to this year, Slocum had never won a game, [dating back to 1955] but somehow turned it around this year with three forfeit victories, and now can boast a 3-1 record .....along the same lines, Ed Van Burm has to be the most improved worst offensive player in the league. Don't panic tho~h Ed, because on defense, your still the worst .... .. Smegmas center Phil Pecuch claimed he was not at all impressed with Stud All-Intramural defensive line BaITy Zoppo. Said Phil, "He didn't catch me once the whole game....... New Rider Steve Lear has really turned the juice loose lately, and has become a big, big, part of the Rider attack .....The Dennis Phelps Fan Club has disclosed the recent signing of All-Intramural second baseman Mario Apuzzo and free agent Bruce Lear. Apuzzo will add even more speed and power to the 1977 softball champs while Lear's bat should be a big a asset to the Phelps team, as they try for an unprecedented fourth consecutive title. The BAT, which was considered the best in the league last year, will be used exclusively by Phelps players this season, and there is a possibility that Bruce himself might even get into a game.

Wilkes has decided this year to go along with these changing times by creating a new logo that will try to reflect a new distinctive school image and atmosphere. U..,,.,,J,..,_ The- purpose of the logo is to develope a unique theme abo1;1t the College. This . uniqueness is basoo on the fact that Wilkes College is a place that blends two great traditions; the richness of past and the progressive look to the future. Doug Rubinstein, director of public relations, ex_plained that, "The logo is not really a change, it is just an addition to the College seal." He then went on to state two reasons for the change, tne first being to produce an external communication with the public, and to develop _a regional and national image for the College. The second reason was that the College felt that it needed a seal that could be used for all types of formal and official occasions, such as graduation and for the use by the president. The design was done in a con- u ... temporary approach. The lettering is a Broadway style lettering which was developed in the 1930's. This is to reflect the decade in which the nostalgia trend and Wilkes has decided to follow that trend. The drawing is a stylized rendering of Chase Hall, which~ is probably the most well known building on campus. The creator of this design was a freelance artist named Denise Faleski who's located in Pittston; She attended Wilkes and received national re<;ognition from a publication that she illustrated from Penn State. People today are constantly exposed to television, which has turned this society into a visual group. What you see will make the biggest impression on you. The College is working from this angle to develope a good impression for the school.

"Pearlie Mae," born March 29, 1918, in Newport News, Va., began her show business career in the 1930s asa singer and dancer in coal mining towns like Pottsville, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Her characteristic singing style evolved during her years on Broadway in the 40s. Her stage debut in the musical, "St. Louis Women" won her the 1946 Donaldson Award as the best newcomer on Broadway. In films such as "St. Louis Blues" and "Porgy and Bess," Ms. Bailey's fame . mounted. In 1967, she starred in "Hello Dolly!," receiving the highest critical and popular acclaim. She described this success as a "fantastic emotional experience" in which "at least I can sing, dance, say intelligent \VOrds ~n stage, love and be loved, and deliver what God gave me." · She would like to "preach" "Dolly" around the world, and is i.ra vehed to the 1 Africa, visiting hospitals, orphanages, institutions for the mentally retarded and handicapped. · Her awards include a special Tony Award in 1968 for "Dolly," Entertainer of the Year for 1968, March of Dimes Award in 1968, and the U.S.O.

For anyone who makes the squad, the first year is temporary and a second try-out the following year is necessary for permanent membership. · The cheerleaders attend all football games, and home basketball games. SG provides the buses that take the squad to away football games but all other expenses (uniforms, equipment, etc. ) a_re paid for by their own fund raising activities. Among these are hoagi'e sales, car washes, and · "Win · Wilkes" buttons. Cheerleaders, ' st rutters, arid majorettes put all of their proceeds into a general treasury from which money is drawn according to greatest need. Although ' the - cheerleaders don't usually go out on the field, they did collaborate with the strutters and majorettes for the half-time Homecoming Program. Cheerleaders practice twice a week at the beginning of the school year, then reduce it to once a week later in the year. Donna Pape said that the emphasis for most members is enjoyment rather than specialized gymnastics. "But even though we're there to have fun , we do take it seriously." She added that one of the best things about being a cheerleader is the sense of closeness and friendship that develops among the squad members.

Yes, there is life after college, but commencement day is a little too late to start thinking about it. According to the Career Planning and Placement staff, career planning should begin as early as the freshman year, and should be followed by some serious t hinking about and pla nning for employment. Ma ny times studen ts begin college without having a clear understanding of t he field t hey are entering, or t he career options avai lable. H ere's wher e t he Careers Library (located behind t he Placement Center at 34 S. River St., near Parrish Hall) can help. Wealth of Information A 17-page (and still growing) bibliography directs students to a wealth of career information in virtually any field. Offerings range from suggested directions in career planning to 'projected employment outlooks to company literature, all contained in handbooks, pamphlets and microform. In addition, the career librarian Barbara Fitzgerald-McClain, is an experienced reference librarian and can assist students in finding the proper information, and the library will soon begin to produce career material of its own, to make it as relevant as possible. A series of tests, conducted by Joseph Kanner, is also offered to students in order to help them evaluate their career interests and abilities. , Once a student has some direction, he can begin to look and prepare for employment or additional academic opportunities. John J. Chwalek, director of the center, and Stan Zukos are available for counseling, advising and assisting students prepare for the task of seeking employment. Questions on writing resumes and cover letters, grad schools, interviews and a host of other topics can be answered. Zukos, who has a B.S. in biology and is presently in the M.B.A. program, here at Wilkes, said that he feels his background enables him to talk to students in any major. Mrs. FitzgeraldMcClain who holds a Bachelor' s degree in history and an English minor, and Joseph Schwab, a psy' chology major, together with Chwalek round out the staff of diversified staff members. "Dress Rehearsal" Another service offered is the '' mock interview," a sort of dress rehearsal designed to assist any. one who plans to take any kind of interview. The purpose ~ to give students an opportunity to · experience an interviewing sit-. uation before they must actually undergo one. It also helps students anticipate questions, over- Dr. Driscoll Will Speak In YWCA Auditorium Dr: Jean M.

The topic "Women's Right to Know: About Political Strategies" will be presented on October 27 a t 1 p.m. in the YWCA auditorium. As t he range of things which are regarded as public issues grows even larger,and the ways in which they are handled grows ever more complex, women need know how they can be heard.how they can affect policy, whether they can " beat City Hall." Dr. Driscoll will give an overview of the ways in which individuals can influence policy and discuss how to select a strategy for action.pointing out how a choice between what and who affects how. come nervousness and correct any undesirable impressions or mannerisms. 1 Interviews are conducted by either Chwalek or Zukos and are video-taped and played back to t he student, giving him t he rare opportunity to watch and hear hi mself speak and react to questions. Staff members point out fa ul ts and strong points and offer suggestions to help enhance the impression the student conveys du ring an in terview. T he mock interviews may be general, or may be designed to simulate an actual interview conducted by a specific company, where certain particular questions may be asked. Zukos noted t hat a number • of accounting majors were recently interviewed by various firms, and those who participated in the mock interviews found that it helped them during the "real thing." · Students who anticipate undergoing interviews for summer jobs grad schools, or other purpose are also urged to take advantage of the mock interview. Outreach Campaign Although the center has been fairly busy since the school year began, with abou t 325 students visiting the facilities, an extensive outreach campaign is being planned to bring even more students in. Chwalek will speak at several class meetings and Mrs. Fitzgerald-McClain will set up a day-long information center in the Commons and the cafeteria in the near future. All the staffers indicated a willingness and eagerness to help students in any way they can, but as one said, "students must take the first step." The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a. m. to 4: 30 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday. Wilma Hurst ' Film Series Course Will Be Offered In Spring Semester The second Film Studies course to be given .at Wilkes will be among offerings for the coming Spring semester. The course, to be taught by Dr. Michael Seitz, will be listed as " Th.Arts : topics: American Film Genres." It is open to all students as a free elective and has no prerequisite. The genres to be treated are among those most typically American: Gangster films, "Films noir,"Westerns,Musica ls, and Horror films. The course will involve screening of 14 feature films, related readings, and classroom discussions. All films will be con sidered in regard t o the conventions of the various genres, visual style.thematic content.and social and -or psychological significance. "I hope this doesn't sound overly heavy,"Dr. Seitz commented. "The films we' ll be studying are all major st udio productions of the 30' s, 40 ' s and early 50' s. They have been enjoyed and cherished by millions of American moviegoers,but,until recently, they've been regarded as mere popular entertainment. It , took the French film critics of "Cahiers du cinema a nd " Positif' to point out t hat many Hollywood films of t he studio period are among the best ever made.and are by no means artless. I think that we can profit ably study these films, wit hou t having such study in any way diminish our enjoyment of them. When all is said and done, they remain great flicks." A tentative syllabus for the film course can be obtained from Dr.Seitz, 201Kirby Hall. �October ·27, 1977, ·The Beacon, Page 3 IDC------------- LJncerfainfy Remains About Dorm Washers It was reported by the Student At the Inter-Dormitory Council Life Committee that many teachmeeting on Sunday night, the reers have failed to pass out teacher sults of a meeting concerning the evaluation forms.

Shown on the steps of Kirby Hall are: Oonna Korba: Ann Sharkey; JoAnn Mican: Marcia Stratton; Karl Germick; Dr. Bradford L. Kinney; Joe Degenhart; Steve Jurewicz and Davida Roberts. Missing members of the Detiate Union are David Evans and Laura Alunni. Debate Union's Fame Growing Nationwide' The Wilkes College Debate Union,alias "Kinney's Kids:• is quickly gaining fame not only in the Wilkes College and WilkesBarre area communities, but also in the college and university communitites to which the members travel to for competition. Originally the team was known as the Wilkes College Debating Society when it first formed in 1948, and soon after became nationally known as "little Wil'kes, the giant killers" because of their sensational victories over bigger and more powerful debating schools. They achieved an outstanding record of winning 387 out of500debates (or 70 percent) and participated in four national championship titles. However, the Debate Society remained virtually passive in intercollegiate competition from 1963 until 1973. Then, in 1973, Dr. Bradford Kinney was selected to coach the society. Dr. Kinney' s first attempt to reestablish the fame of the debate program was t o rename the group .the Wilkes College Debate Union (the members, however, renamed themselves "Kinney' s Kids" and selected as their symbol a horse's tail end, much to the surprise and confusion of Dr. Kinney). The selection of Dr. Kinney proved to be a good one; during the four years the group has been under his coaching the team has traveled more than 33,280 miles to win 90 awards and trophies. Last year the Debate Union set a record by winning 30 trophies, and according to Dr. Kinney, · "this year we' re out to break that record.'' Recently, the group traveled to Shippensburg to compete with 40 other colleges and universities in the Raider Tournament,and to Clarion to compete with 34 schools. At Shippensburg, Donna Korba won first place for her persuasion speech and was also recognized for her superior informative speech; Jo Ann Mican received a certificate honoring her as being among the top ten informative speakers; Stephen Jurewicz also received a certificate for his persuasive speech; Joe Degenhart placed fourth in informative speaking and received a certificate for his impromptu speech; Ann Sharkey received a seventh place trophy for oral interpretation and the group was awarded a second place overall team trophy. At Clarion, Marcia Stratton placed first in informative speaking; Donna Korba received a fourth place trophy for _persuasion and a certificate recognizing her outstanding persuasive speaking and the group received another team trophy honoring them as one of the top ten schools at the tournament. The team is also a member of Pi Kappa Delta National Honorary Forensic Society, in which they are noted as one of the largest active memberships in the state. Dr. Kinney attributes the success of the Debate Union to their " hard work'and their perceptive ability to "work as a unit'. He stated that "Kinney!; Kids' are close-knit -- when one wins 'they all win'. Dr. Kinney likes the phrase Ms. K. Pietscher, debate tournament director at Ohio University, used to summerize the achievements of the Wilkes College Debate Union. She said they have "no great wins and no great losses:• meaning that Wilkes is one of the most consistent debate teams she knows.

The members may compete in debate and - or forensics.the latter which is divided into the following categories: after-dinner speaking; original persuasive speaking; informative speaking; salesmanship; oral interpretation of literature (prose and poetry); extemporary speaking (in which the person draws a topic and is allowed 30 minutes to prepare to speak on that topic); impromptu speaking (in which the person draws a topic and is allowed only 7 minutes preparation); dramatic duos (in which two people act out a scene from a play); rhetorical criticism (in . which a person chooses a speech and analyzes it as to why it succeeded or failed and comments on the t ools the speaker used); original story-telling and broadcasting. . Members also have the option of competing in the pentathelon. In order to qualify for the pentathelon,one must enter and do well in five different events. Dr. Kinney stated that the most rewarding aspect of the teams accomplishments lies not in the "hardware they bring home;but in the fact tqat "most debaters have virtually no experience when they join the group, as compared to those they compete against with high school and college experience'. He also added that learningand educational experience are their first achievements; th.e trophies and awards are only secondary. The feeling among the group members is that of a <_;lose family, however, this "family' is open to anyone (not strictly English majors) who is willing .to work devote 20 percent of his effort to the teams goal; Dr. Kinney guarantees he' 11 meet anyone 80 percent of the way. The Debate Union is now looking forward to future competitions which will take them to George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia; University of Maryland; Penn State; University of Delaware and many others. Dr.Kinney proudly stated that "this is the first yearwe' ve been invited to more schools than we can afford to go to!'

Stay calm--avoid anxiety. Have all the supplies you need prior to leavin~ your home-room. Arrive at the examination room 15 minutes in advance. Note t he seating area where the lighting is best. Avoid sitting near noise or friends t hat may distract you. Leave crib sheets at home!!!!!!! During the exam Most importantly--Listen TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. REREAD THE INSTRUCTIONS. Determine the amount of time for the test and determine how much time you need for each qu~tion. Example: 100 multiple choice equal approximately two responses per minute. Five essays equal approximately 12 minutes per essay. Answer the essay questions first. · Write legibly so the instructor can read your responses, otherwise your mark may suffer. Objective questions demonstrate your ability to recognize key details. One must give attention to key words like none, all, never, should, might. · Essay questions· test your ability to express yourself on the subject; therefore, be careful and watch for the following cues which will set the thenie for y!)µr essay. They are: describe, discuss, define, elaborate, evaluate, illustrate, prove, review, summarize,- compare, ,contrast; critic4e, analyze, outline. _· · · Reread your essay carefully: ·One may. have left out a key word or _remember other points. · · · • After the exam . After the instructor returns your exam paper, read over the answers, nQte the correct and .incorrect answers. Find the correct answer to those that are incorrect. ·This process of relearning is helpful since the same questio!l may appear on .the final exam. If one has questions relative to the instructor's marking system or if there is a response discrepancy, it is to your advantage to see instructor duriµg his office hours. Instructors are human and do make mistakes. Evaluation via testing is an essential aspect of education. Test taking requires practice and concentration and most of all, self-evaluation. In sum, a positive attitude and systematic approach as well as your commitment to self-evaluation will make test taking easier and rewarding.

Currently in its fifth · year of exis tence, t he Committee is comprised of approximately 125 members, with attendance at meetings usually reaching up to 90 people. . The Committee's charter states as its purpose " to promote a spirit of cooperation and communication between all segments of Wilkes College and t he surrounding community." The chairperson of this year's Committee is Kathy Rickard, a sophomore biology major from Hazleton. Kathy, who is the first female ever to head the Commi t tee,lis t ed some of the numerous activities that the organization is involved in. · "The most recent was last week's Blood Donor Day, which was very successful in reaching a total of 273 pints. I thank everybody who participated," stated t he Catlin Hall reffident. Tomorrow will be the drawing date for a fifty dollar certificate. The proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the American Heart A.ssociation for their work and research in heart disease. Tickets may still be purchased from any Committee member. Another event which is slated for October is a Halloween party which the Committee is sponsoring in cooperation with "The Bridge," a youth service organization that provides assistance to underpriviledged young people. A total of 45 young people will enjoy the party complete with prizes,games and of course,costumes. Preparation and planning for an event such as the Halloween party or raffle usually begin two months in advance.

The Colonel hooters won their second game of the season, 1-0 over Albright College, last Thursday and junior co-captain Apuzzo was the only one to find the nets. Luck turned the other way however,as the hooters dropped their second contest of the week to nationally ranked Elizabethtown College, 4-0, at Ralston Field. The victory over Albright was not only Apuzzos doing, but the whole team effort. After Apuzzo scored, he collided with the Lions' goalie and was forced to leave the contest with less than ten minutes gone in the first period. Senior co-captain Tony Apostola:ros kept things under control, playing tight defense, preventing the Reading team from scoring. Tony was also credited with the assist on Apuzzos goal. Frosh goalie Cliff Brautigan played an awesome game, making 21 saves, many of them in second half action. On Saturday, the Wilkesmen were outclassed b,¥ Elizabethtown, who are rankoo third in the nation. The BLuejays won the 4-0 decision to keep their slate unblemished in the MAC. The Blue and 'Gold held their own against E-Town, since the Bluejays are picked to win the conference title. The Colonels took 29 shots on goal, while E-Town - only took 26, with four going in. Tony Apostolaros and Nick Golowich played good defensively for Wilkes. The offense just couldn't come through with any tallies, ·although they threatened several times. Nicholas Pitsis, right center-halfback, returned to the Blue and Gold lineup Saturday, after sitting out two weeks due to a broken foot. Coach Eaton's forces will travel to Susquehanna Saturday and and won't see action again until the following Saturday, hosting Delaware VAiley. Last year Wilkes was defeated by Sus- Marywood Match quehanna, 4-1, at Ralston Field. Coach Eaton believes his hooters are finally putting- it together and looks for a strong finish in their last four games. Leading scorers for the Blue and Gold are: Mario Apuzzo, 8; Tony Apostolaros, 2; Len Vekkos, l ; Dung Chi Duong, 1; Joe Piccone, 1; and Nicky Golowich, 1. Bob Gaetano .:.. Net women Seek Crown The Wilkes womens tennis team had a chance to nail down their third consecu tive· NPWIAA championship yesterday when they challenged Marywood. Both squads sport undefeated 6-0 records in league play and the match yesterday determined the champion. Coach Sandy Bloomberg offered her opinion on why the team has been so successful t his season. "All of the girls on the team are dedicated and have the desire to be a winner. They' re willing to give that little bit extra that it takes to build a winning team. Their willingness to give time during practice has made my job easier as well as the teams." The girls have rebounded from the loss of several key players from last years squad and have played extremely well. This is the last match of the college careers of'co-captains Jo Ann Pugliese and Sally Steele as well as Jan Wolf and Diane Polacheck. The tea~s only losses this season were to the likes of powerhouses Bloomsburg State, Lock Haven, and Seton Hall. The women would like to continue to add tough competition to their schedule.in an effort to build an increasingly stronger program here at Wilkes. The team has shown a lot of character t his ·season. Bloomberg stated, "Many people do not realize that the girls earned money through bake sales, car washes, and things of the sort so that they can have money to play some indoor tennis during the upcoming winter,. months." These are the intangible things that build a winning program.

HOCKEY CO-CAPTAINS- Barb Gorgas and Jean Johnson provide the leadership for the Wilkes field hockey team. The women under the coaching of Gay Meyers, have been consistant winners and are shooting for their fourth straight NPWIAA title this w~ when the take on Marywood on Wednesday and Miseiicordia on Friday. Hqckey Squad Faces Tough, Crucial Week The Wilkes College women's field hockey team has won it's last three games in a row to make its season record 5-3-1. The last three victories were: 2-0 over Lycoming; 3-0 over Susguehanna; and 3-1 over Drew University. The scores speak for themselves. The way the girls have been playing, the . opponents are having a hard time even scoring against Wilkes. Monica Krammer and Ronna Colvin scored the goals in the Lycoming game as Wilkes outshot tfieir opponent, 33-10, in a. contest where much of the action took place in the center of . the field, Lee Ann Earl had to make only six saves to earn the shutout. Mary Jo Frail also had a good game, getting both assists. Mary Jo's passing as well as that of Barb Gorgas, kept Wilkes 'on attack most of the time. On defense, it was Jean Johnson once again being the key. Her good positions enabled her to have many interceptions which took Lycoming attacks apart. Jean is a very steady player in the Wilkes defense The field conditions at Lycoming left much to be desired. It is_ muddy ~th thick grass on the si?es, and has soccer goals directly behmd the hockey goals. Wilkes players, a little distracted by this, shot several times wide into the soccer goals. Coach Meyers commented on the game," We outplayed Lycoming but we should have scored more. Out girls got frustrated with all the fouls and pushing, and we just didn't play our type of hockey." Rain became the enemy of the Colonels, wiping out scheduled contests _with Ma~wood and Misericordia, so it was ten days before Wilkes got mto a game situation again. This was the 3-0 win over Susquehanna as the team reacted well to the long lay-off. They had problems in their timing in the first half, playing to a 0-0 tie, but they got t hings together in the second half to come away with t heir second straight win as well as second straight shutout. Bar~ Gorgas found the nets twice while Jerry Ann Smith added the third goal. Ronna Colvin, Mary Jo Frail, and Marie Elko chipped in the assists. Wilkes outshot Susquehanna 25-7 and also led in penalty corners, nine to four. ' Coach Meyers was worried about the layoff, but ended u~ being very pleased by the outcome. "I was very concerned going mto the ga?'le," she stated. "Susquehanna always plays us to.ugh, and by bemg off for so long, I knew that our conditioning ,would not be what it should be at this point in the season. By the second half, though, we seemed to have it all together." The coach was very pleased with the offensive unit who really did a great job providing'. the team with its best passing and cutting of the entire season. Saturday was "Field Hockey_ Parents' Day" and the girls responded to the large crowd by beating Drew, 3-1. Field conditions were poor once again as the ground has not yet recovered from all the rain. Conditions were very slippery. In t~e first half, Wilkes was constantly on the attack, but was stiffled on several scoring drives by official's calls. Barb Go~gas, ~onna . Colvin, and Jerry Ann Smith scored goals, while Juhe Kerrick a nd Pam Snyder added the assists. Wilkes continued to play good offense, outshooting Drew,. 35 to 6. Barb Gorgas has been on a scoring spree, getting three goals in two days. ~n the second half, Wilkes had to attack at the muddy- goal, and this stopped the team from scoring even more goals. Drew's lone goal, and the only score tallied against the girls in the last three games, was scored on a fast break, when Wilkes was caught with too many players on attack. In JV action, Wilkes lost 1-0 to Susquehanna and · suffered severa_l iniuries in the loss_. Julie Ken-!ck had several good rushes offe?sively but the shots _Just ':'l'ouldn t go in. Megan Ward and Gen McAfee must be-credited with some key saves on defense. Both the girls are first year players for Wilkes and both are coming along very well. Marie Elk? ~a~ hit in the templt: with the ball and had to go for x-rays. This mJury hurt the varsity as Marie was forced to miss Saturday's game with Drew as a result of it. Julie Kerrick got sla~med on the hand and Mary Jo Frail was kicked by the opposing goalie. The team has three games scheduled for this busy week: Tuesday at 4 p.m. against Keystone Junior College; Wednesday at 4 p.m. in a league make-up contest with Marywood; and Friday at 3:30 in another league make-up game with Misericordia. lllve Jolley Ed.

One of those kinds of events occur::red this past Saturday for an enthusiastic band of loyal Wilkes fans who travelled to Reading, Pa. to watch the Colonels beat Albright. . Despite "40" days anq nights of rain which would have sidelined even Noah with a cold, our dedicated group of Wilkes fanatics arrived in A-1 "fanning" condition, ready to scream themselves hoarse again. Led by 26-year veteran rooter Art Hoover, _16-year stalwart stockholders Rollie "Dad" Schmidt, Sr. ; Sarah "Mom" Schmidt; and Marge "Sweetheart" Schrrwdt, the Wilkes rooting section was ready with the "big guns." In fact, the gold-capped 10-year veteran Parents Club was there in force, along with Alex and Elsie Pawlenok and their 11 inch, 8 pound Pekingese named "Killer." ( '.'Killer" wears a blue and gold ribbon and barks profanely at the refs. ) Add Leftenant Veremeychik's Blue Bugle and Down Home Damnation Band, The "Hey Beautiful Girls" Cheerleaders, The Can Can Kickin' Strutters, the Golden Whirly Bird Girl Twirlers a nd one has all the insanity one needs in a rooting section to play a team like Albright. Given the facts one might feel Wilkes didn't have a chance. After all, Wilkes was l 'and 4; Albright was 5 and 1. It was Albright's homecoming and it was Wilkes ' toughest opponent. .Who could argue the facts? Yet, fan-inspiration not withstanding, the Colonels defied all the prognosticators and played one of the finest football games I have ever seen. Every Wilkes College fan was treated to one hulluva performance. Unquestionably, Wilkes is an underrated team I The record bqoks never show injuries, heartaches, or youth. Wilkes had to be the best 1 and 3 small college team around, and you can be damn sure all the Wilkes rooters knew it. Everyone of us at Wilkes .should .be really proud of both the quality of Wilkes football and the character with which the team performed. Albright was simply outplayed. In any event, those who attended that game really were " electric ." Even Albright's homecoming crowd was impressed. Whether it was Coach Schmidt's hair-raising fourth quarter Roman oration, or Art Hoover's charisma; whether it was "Killer's" harassment of the . refs or the Band's flirtations with the Albright cheerleaders, I can't be sure. All I know is at the end of the game an uncontrollably elated Art Hoover raced onto the field followed by the entire Wilkes rooting section and embraced Rollie Schmidt in triumph. Maybe it was a little speck of dust that got into his eye , or maybe it was just the wind, but I could swear I saw a few tears of joy roll down Coach Schmidt's face - tears well earned and much appreciated. It truly was a day to remember. One of those days at which "You just had to be there." Yours in Battle, THE PRINCE Ed. Note: Who is this guy?

Phone 825-7569 victories in ·· recent gridiron history at Wilkes College took place last Saturday in Reading. The Colonels, struggling during the last three seasons, struck a major blow toward renewed respectability when they scored a shutout victory over Eastern powerhouse Albright, 7-0. It is the kind of win that can literally _turn a grid program around. The Lions were anywhere from two to four touchdown favorites entering the contest. They were leading the MAC in virtually every vital statistic imaginable and looking not unlike the "Big Red Machine." With a superlative defensive effort, the Colonels changed all of that! · Tony Couto and John Lack, the co-captain linebackers with animalistic tendencies, . led a defensive charge that was truly inspiring. The Lion wishbone offensive attack was reduced to a purring kitten by the time the Colonel scavangers were through. Jeff Welch, the leading rusher in the MAC was held to 67 yards while his partner Dan Daly was limited to 76; far below either's average. The Lions really only threatened once during the entire game; so thorough was the Colonel defensive domination. Rich Chapman fumbled the snap on a 45 yard field goal attempt by Dan Pisarcik and Albright took over on . their own 37. Striking quickly on the fir-s.t play after the fumble, Daly rambled 48 yards to the Wilkes 15. M-ike Molitoris saved the Tt> on brilliant comefrom-behind tackle. · However, 1C · few plays later, DB Mark Arcure chance was squelched when Ed Murray fumbled at the Lion 16. But in a virtual replay of the previous sequence, the defense held again and Brace dittoed his return efforts by carrying it all the way to the Albright 30. Lopresto then scored on a 4th down and inches play from the seven out of a Triple I formation.

Scheduled to play the first game are the New Riders, wbo are the defending champions, and a tough Studs Inc. team. The Riders _have been dynamic all year, bowling over opposition with unmerciful precision, but the Studs will give the Riders their first true test. The Studs, who are anchored by All-Intramural tackle Barry Zoppo, lost the Eastern crown to the Smegmas in a bitterly fought contest, 25-17. This game however, was closer than the score might indicate, for the Smegmas scored in the closing minutes on a disputed fumple recovery after the Studs had driven to within 10 yards of the winning touchdown. picked off a pass in the endzone The Riders on the other hand, tore through the East, and always and that was all she wrote for the carried a big enough lead into the final period that not even a slew, a vaunted Albright offense. multitude, or a veritable plethera of bad calls could have influenced The Colonel offense performed the outcome.

Halloween Party Flops- CC To Cut Party Funding A review of the CC-IDC Halloween party was given by ' Louie DeRobertis, Commuter Council president, at the council's meeting Monday afternoon. He stated that the party held in the gym was a "flop" based on poor attendance and as a result, the catering by Konefa1's was cancelled for the party. The reason stated for the poor ticket sales was the Sturdevant Hall party which served beer that same evening. DeRobertis said "you can't get anything to be a success unless there is beer there. The beer at Sturdevant drove people away from our party." He did note, however, 'that for the people who attended the party, they seem to have a good time. The discontent the council expressed over the party's outcome was against the permission granted to Sturdevant Hall by the Housing Office to hold a party t he same night and against the idea that students need beer to make their time worth while. DeRobertiS" stated "if it is beer they want, we aren't going to give it to them." In the past CC . and the Inter-Dormitory Council have been expected to spend $500 each for the four parties they sponsor together. They are. the Halloween, Christmas, St. Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day parties. As a result of the Halloween party CC is now only willing to spend $250 on the Christmas party which is held off campus. Spending on the other two parties is also questionable. CC would like to try to sponsor other activities on campus to get · more students involved. DeRobertis questioned the function of the council as to throw parties or promote activity. Since he feels the present parties are not appreciated as indicated by the outcome of the Halloween party, he and the council are going to try to promote new activities on campus; In other council matters, the council is going to sponsor a bus to New York City on Wednesday, Nov. 23. The bus will leave Wilkes-Barre at around 7:30a.m . . The cost per person is $8.50 and reservations can be made starting Monday in the CC office during the hours betweenll a.mand p.m The newly revised council constitution was unanimously passed. The revisions made by the constitution committee updated the constitution and made certain restrictions as to wl,o can run for CC presidency. As written in the new constitution, anyone who has served on the council for one complete elected term can run for the position as opposed to any commuter runing. Under new business, the last sophomore position was filled at the meeting. Judy Bellas was appointed to the vacant position. Six freshmen were electe:l into the council two weeks ago and they are Bill Miller, John Moffatt, Bill Stunich, Karen Supkoski, Maria Smigel and Bob Visheski. Jim Edwards IDC Approves Laundry Charge A vote was taken at the IDC meeting on Sunday on what to do concerning the dorm washers and dryers. The result was a practically unanimous vote to have all dorm residents pay a fee of $5 per semester for the use of washers and dryers. This fee will be charged beginning next semester and washers and dryers will be free until then. Concerning the party, policy, a vote was taken to decide whether college I.D. cards should be required to buy tickets for dorm parties. This was passed, but it was suggested that two tickets be . available to each I.D. holder. humor, hurrian rights, California drivers, food prices, and a host of other topics. Ms . .Bai]ey, mother of two, declared that children should be taught maimers before they are sent off. to school and that teachers should not be expected to disci'pline children; that the best way to clean is on one's hands and knees; she does find the time to food shop and cook, much to the surprise of many people; young people should obtain - a diverse educational background because what is important is not what they would like to do, but what they will do; that people are looking for jobs, but they are not looking for work. She also asserted that to succeed in the theater one needs some talent, ambition, heavy discipline and dignity; the United Nations can be the most constructive body there is, provided something is done with it; in reference to humor, some things are humorous, some are subtle, and som_e · are downright dirty; and it's not a question as to whether : California drivers will change . fri;>m one. lane to the .. one on the.extreme other side, but actµally ,- question of when they will do it .. · She stressed the importance of love· and life, saying, "There is only one way to live and that is to live.'·' Explaining how she finds the time to do so many things, shesaid, "Do something with your time by doing something with the time you have." She ended the "stimulation excercise by saying, "There is no gain without pain. I know I'm growing-I hurt." She received a standing ovation before and after her presentation, and is, by the way, 59 years old. (A public reception and dinner with the Concert and Lecture Series Committee were cancelled by Ms. Bailey.) Wilm(,. HUJ'8t Another suggestion concerning the party policy was passed, that· tickets for dorm parties be sold at the time of the party, but in another location. To avoid any problems with parties, a stronglysupported suggestion was also made to require the IDC representative of the .dorm giving a party to be responsible and give a report of the party to IDC. It was · announced that the game room will be mov-ed from the basement of New Men's Dorm. to the S.U.B. as soon as the new location · is · properly wired for pinball machines. The Halloween Party was considered a success by all, though Commuter Council reported a slight loss from the party. IDC president Tom Bazzini pointed out that spending some money on a social event is to be expected and should not be considered a loss. Students are reminded to fill out R.A. evaluation forms as soon as possible. Also, teacher evaluation forms will be in the mail to students within the next few weeks, after the deadline is up for dropping classes. This is to prevent any malicious bias on the forms. Joe V.

Enthusiasm exploded even before the curtain rose, making it neces~ary for the performers to sustam and mount the level of excitement. They easily succeeded in doing so from the first, with Johnny Forte, whose jokes were happily wrapped in his outstanding personality. No act of the Gong Show was poor. Even when gonged, the performers were applauded for their efforts; or, perhaps, the judges were being applauded,.for theirs. Mia Mumford, a newcomer to Wilkes,dazzledheraudiencewith an original composition. Her fingers on the keyboard accompanied her melodic voice.

Vol. I. No. VIII PLANNING YOUR CAREER College is a preparation for later life. Part of your happiness in t he . years to come will depend on a chosen profession or vocation tha t interests you. One ot the greatest problems among incoming freshmen is tha t _. they know little about the world of work 1 career opportunities, and · what it takes to accomplish a specific career objective. The early college years are an especially important time to explore and probe various career opportunities even though you may have your sights set on a particular career. The media is abundant with literature about challenges facing college graduates in the job market. Certain professions and vocations are overcrowded and cannot absorb you. Despite th e gloomy current unemployment job prospects in certain academic disciplines, we can look ahead to the career literature on future trends for employing college graduates. · For example, we konow the greatest emphasis on employment is in the field of service jobs due to population shifts to urban areas and the increase in spendable income for most Americans; therefore, the urban populations need services in health care, banking, communications, recreation and management. Here are a few tips on how to plan your career: Locate the Career Planning Office on campus and consider goin g through the following process with a career counselor. zthis process is only a guideline for you.

Lynn Sare "l' Senior · Fantastic·Animation:Festival • \ 0 THE GREATEST COLLECTION OF ANIMATED FILMS IN THE WORLD! • • "A Piece Of The Action" is the story about two con artists who get " conned" into a very ''unexpected" situation. Signey Poitier, the movie's director, and madcap maniac Bill Cos!Jy star in this rather far-fetched flick. This being Poitier's third consecutive hit with Coz, the usual standing ovation-type round of applause is expected as Poitier comes on brilliantly both as performer and moralist, while Coz concentrates on the comedy. In the wake of events such as crooks robbing crooks, 12-story .1eaps by slippery safe crackers, and numerous bank hoists, the du9 somehow gets blackmailed into managing a horde of guerillas who turn out to be a bunch of jive-talking, hand-slapping k.i ~ at a com• munity improvement program. This rowdy crew is successfully turned into a group of acceptable job-seeking citizens under Poitier's "incentive" process. The results are astounding and quite unforgettable. The mystery man responsible for the scheme turns out to be excop James Earl Jones, an avid community service benefactor. However, Poitier and Coz each possess viewpoints quite removed from any kind of charitable idea and the retired law man indeed gets more than he bargained for 'fhen his "employees" are pursued by another bunch of thugs: u • • ' Meanwhile, a very chic Denise Nicholas, director, of the community service program , be¢qmes C~z•s. center.9f attrjiction.

'_., •• Consequently, the ex-detective is" by rio means a Telly Savalas, perhaps because his position ' as an ·" ex"· does not dictate that he should be. Poitier-and Coz are ultimately left to iron things out alone, '\yith som'e meagre assi§tance,'from Jones: The action peaks with the climactic kidnapping of Poitier's girl by the opposing crime ring, and 'what follows is unusual indeed. Poitier succee$ in pulling one over·on tpe thugs' integrity and walks away with' the bacon. But what kind of conclusion is this? Our Starsky and Hutch-Kojak-type· consciences 1might utter. The most violence contained in this film is in the form of a 'fist fight; not one person is .seriously injure:! or-destroyed and thus "A Piece Of The Action" is not your usual " blood ·and guts" crime crap. Perhaps Poitier believes ,this type a little " too" usual also, so this moralist could not depart his frame of values even so much as to harm one hair of a single cast mem,b er's head !

Who is this madma n? This daring "Prince of Battle" who continually s purs the Wilkes gridiron fortunes on and on to greater heights of excellence? Obviously a literary genius. He invades the Ra lston Field locker room on Thursday afternoon and leaves behind evidences of his support. In a single fly-leaf, he creates poetry designed to incite the Colonel forces antl to help build them to an emotional peak for their upcoming weekly game. It' s working ! The Colonels have turned their season around after a disasterous start and many people th ink that the " Prince of Battle" is one of the prime reasons. With thunder bolts, "We' re number one!" slogans, and other various a nd s undr y morale boosters, he relentlessly cheers the team on. Even when the outlook was bleak early in the season, he never let the team get down on themselves. Now that the Colonels of Rollie Schmidt are winning, his literary prowess is coming to a head and being noticed. Only one question r emains unanswered. He is definitely on our side and is a Wilkes rooter, but who is he? No one seems to know. There have been many ideas as to his identity but none have been proved either true or false. The list of candidates includes Rollie Schmidt's mother, Art Hoover, the cheerleading squad , "Judas ," Alex Pawlenok's dog, George Pawlush's wife's brother's 2nd cousin through marriage, or the ever possible consideration of President Capin. There are also others too ridiculous to mention. Whoever this person is, keep the streak going with your magic. A TOUGH BREAK - Carmen Lopresto, . 46·, collarbone. He was on his way to . an amazing game, garnering 89 yards during first half action. But his injury will put him on tl!e shelf for the remainder Qf the campaign. _ Crusade Continues: Colonels Edge SU A fast and furious fourth quarter finish marked a tremendous come-from-behind effort on Saturday as the Colonel grid team posted its third consecutive victory, a 14-7 decision over Susquehanna University. The Wilkesmen needed a pair of desperation last period touchdowns to.rally the troops and bury the Crusader s in front of a large Parents ' Day crowd in Selinsgrove. The Colonels must have a penchant for drama and a des ire to give everyone in the stands ulcers with last minute heroics, for they had three excellent scori,ng chanc'es in the first half and could have been ahead at the halftime mark by as much as 21-0. After receiving the opening kickoff, the Wilkes offense established the fact that they could move the ball against the Susquehanna defense. The only problem was that they couldn't get it into the promised land. Under the direction of Mike Wilson·, they took the opening kick and marched all the way to the SU 18 where the drive stalled. Danny Pisarcik's field goal attempt was wide and the ball was turned over without a score. The Crusaders also showed that they could move the ball as they took possession and marched the length of the field to the Wj lkes 1~ where they elected to gamble on a·fourth down and 1. The-G9lonel Big " D" slammed the door and the tempo of the game was establis hed . The Wilkes offense was crippled on tpe next series of -plays when human bowling ball Carmen ~opresto suffered a broken collarbone. Wilkes had two more golden opportunities to score but they continued to window shop in TD land . Bill Molnar dropped a fourth down pass that had touchdown written all over it. Molnar , symbolic of the Colonel efforts on the day, came back to shrug off the frustration and made 2 fine receptions later in the garrie. · Tony Couto's interception gave the offense good field position at midfield .and a big W;ilso.n to Paul Wengen completion took it all the way down to the two .. On the next play, Wilson fumbled the snap and the Crusaders recovered .for .the touchback. The first score came late in the · third quarter when SU quarterback Pete -Annarumma found Dave .Santacroce for a three yard TD pass and a 7-0 lead. The third and fourth quarters were marred by a series of turnovers that was best exemplified by the Wilkes Band's rendition of "The Gong Show. " A- total of 13 turnovers occurred throughout th!;! course of the game. How appropriate that the Colonel defense of Coach Ed Lukas be the catalyst for the fourth period comeback. They were instrumental in both Wilkes scores. The action started when the SU center endeared himself to the hearts of Colonel fans everywhere when his punt snap sailed over the punter's head and into the endzone. An eager Bill Sobczak pounced on it for the TD . The Colonels elected to go for the two point conversion but it failed and the Colonels were still trailing, 7-£. Refusing to be demoralized, the proud Wilkesmen fought back. Couto again supplied the big play when he picked off his second interception of the game at the SU 40. He was voted the WBRE MVP and was also honored on the ECAC weekly All-Star team. The big play in the winning TD drive was a 25 yard completion to glue-handed tight end Paul Wengen that set them up at the 8. Two plays later, Mel Johnson tip-toed his way into the endzone. The two point conversion was successful as Wilson threw a perfect strike to Bob Rushworth. The Colonels are seeking to continue their excellent second half performance when they challenge Juniata College on Saturday in Huntington. The Indians are suffering through a frustrating season as their 3-5 record indicates. The leading passer, Wayne Emerick, is out for the year with a separated shoulder and his replacement, Bill Reilly, is a converted cornerback. The Indians were expected to challenge for the MAC title but they are now just fighting to break even.

Four league titles and 14 league games later, Coach Meyers' team is still living up to that winning tradition. After a non-league setback to Keystone Junior College in what can be best described as an upset, t he Colonels came blazing back in their league competition, besting Marywood, 4-1, and Misericordia, 6-2. This week' s action brought the team's record up to 7-4-1. Perhaps t he girls were looking forward to their league games with Marywood and Misericordia, because they were very sluggish against Keystone. The team had 27 shots on goal, but a shot by Jerry Ann Smith was t he only one that found the nets. Mary Jo Frail got the assist, and goalie Lee Ann Earl made seven saves for Wilkes. Coach Meyers noted that the defense got caught up too far allowing Keystone to score both of their goals. She felt that t he team was due to be upset, saying, "I knew it would happen. We were not up for this game and they were. Keystone has been trying .to beat us for years and this was their year." The loss may have been good for the team's attitude as the desire was clearly there for the teams's contest with Marywood. Wilkes totally d.9minated the game, outs hooting Marywood, 51 to 16 and holding the edge in penalty corners, 15 to 4. · · ·. Pam Snyder scored two goals while Marie Elko and Mary Jo Frai l added one each. Ronna. Colvin, Jerry Ann Smith, and Julie Kerrick added the assists. T he game was played in a pouring rain but, since the contest was rained out once already, both teams consented to play no matter what the conditions were. Marywood came into the game undefeated in league play, and a win over Wilkes would give them their first league title. The Colonels impressive play, however, informed them that they would have to beat the best to win the championship. The dismal performance against Keystone worried Coach Meyers, but the team put her fears to rest early in the contest. "After the way we played Tuesday, I was really worried if our people would be up for this league encounter, " she stated. "Marywood was really up and we are their big· game! But I am proud of the way we rallied under terrible field conditions and the team played its hearts out for a very important win." Marie Elko proved to be the big gun in the championship game, hitting the nets for two big scores. Pam Snyder, Jerry Ann Smith, Barb Gorgas, and Julie Kerrick a lso scored in the 6-2 win over Misery . J erry Ann Smith, Mary .To Frail, and Ronna Colvin had two assists apiece.Wilkes outshot Misericordia, 38 to 8 and really made their opponents miserable by not allowing a single shot in the second half. Jean Johnson a nd Monica Krammer headed the fine 'defensive effort. During the second period, Wilkes kept on attack and would not let up on their opponents. Mary Jo Frail leads the team in assists with 10 and Marie Elko has the most goals, seven. . Coach Meyers, used to winning the NPWIAA championship by now but far from being tired of it, was very happy with the victory. "I was proud of the way we rallied after the Keystone game. We wanted everyo ne to know we are the best team in the league and we totally outplayed them." When people think of sports dynasties a Wilkes College, they always t hink of the great Golden Horde football champions of t he 60's. Forced to make another choice, they would und oub ted ly pick the fine wrestling squads fhat yearly make everyone associated with Wilkes proud . But how about the fine job the field hock ey team does year after year after year'! After all, no league opponent has ever been able to defeat them. That is q ui te an accomplishment, a nd Coach Gay Meyers and the players deserve much credit.

Coach Kevin Davenport is very hopeful going int o the tourney, as all of his runners are healthy. " I feel the main reason we have been so successful t his . year is because we have a voided major injuries, and going into Saturday's tourney, we are 100 per cent healthy," commented t he freshman mentor.

Eddie White Soccer Team Loses 8th The Wilkes College soccer tea m fell to defeat for the eighth time this season last Saturday afternoon, when t he Colonels lost a 3-2 decision to Susquehanna University in a Middle Atlant ic Conference matc h in Selinsgrove, Penna. Senior co-captain Tony Apostolaros scored the first tally for Wilkes and fres hman Dung Chi Duong added the second, on a pass from Apostolaros . Offensively, Susquehanna outshot Wilkes, 34 to 14 shots at the goal. Coach Chip E aton noted, " W arr en Bus h really played tough defense in t he firs t half, but t he Susquehanna guys went the other way in t he second period, to evade him." Eato n cha nged hi s lineu p due to a n injury to one of hfs fullbacks, Nicky Golowich. In Friday's practice, Golowich sus- tained a foot injury and reportedly has t orn ligaments. The Colonel lineup shifted co-captain Tony Apost olaros to center-halfback position and inserted Dave Borrm a nn, a junior from Metuchen, N.J ., to right fullback. Eaton was pleased wit h the reserves performance. · Susquehanna had a much . larger squad than Wilkes. Their reserve system had more than 20 hooters on t he bench and allowed t hem to substitute freely , with confidence. The Wilkes soccer team will be hoping for a lot of support this week1md, when they host Delaware Valley. The Blue and Gold,- currently 2-8, will be seeking revenge agains t Del Val, at 2 p.m., at Ralston Field, as they lost by a slight 2-1 margin to Del Val last year.

' H e also added t hat " t he support for the proposal is mainly from the younger prl)fessors'.' After SG completed the agenda, Vice president Larry Assalita, presiding for the reportedly ailing Carl Holsberger, turned the meeting over to Capin. , Capin said he wanted to speak because he heard Evan's r-eport when he came in and did not feel that it was accurate.According to Capin, the first faculty vote was recounted, ra t her t han contested, as Evans reported. This was done because t he vote was "too close for comfort over a big issue like this" , according to Ca pin. However the second vote turned t he_res_ults around. Capin,who appeared to be upset wit h the situation, pointed out t hat a faculty member suggested t hat since not' every faculty member attended the important meeting, the entire faculty should . be polled. Capin agreed with this, and therefore both votes were regarded as not reflecting t he full view of the faculty. " It is t oo important an issue to let it go by without knowing t he best interests of all concerned, ' said Capin. He also sternly reprimanded Evans for not reporting the facts,and said he felt that Evans put him (Capin) "in a bad light'. Evans apologized for t he report, but stated that he got his information from three faculty members who did attend the meeting. When questioned by SG members about the future of the prop_o~al,Capin couJd not give~ ny speci.f1c answers, but promised that action is being taken to get an accurate vote from the faculty. Dr. Eugene Hammer, faculty academic standing committee chairman, when contacted by The Beacon the next day, verified t he report by Capin that the second vote was taken in order to recount t he first vote. Hammer said that when the second vote yielded the discrepancy, "President Capin used his prerogative" and took a suggestion by a faculty member t o disregard both votes and take a mail ballot vote.

Bazzini and others being aggravated, DeRobertis said, "That is too bad." Under new business, it was reported that tickets for the bus to New York City, which the council is sponsoring, are on sale in the CC office in Weckesser Hall or by conta cting any CC representative.

DeRobertis reported that Carl Holsberger, SG president, is now in favor of consolidating SG, me, and CC into one body after being violently opposed to the idea. He wants to test this idea that has been discussed by all three bodies in which all are opposed. More discussion of this idea will be held in the near future . Jim Edwards Circle K Creates Mini--P ark As Part Of Service Proiect When you think of a mini-park, you t hink of a small place where you can go to rest and relax. Circle K has created a new mini-park t hat is just such a place. The new park is located near Bedford Hall and in fron t of the Dining Hall of New Men's Dorm. Two benches, supplied through the Business Office, have been placed in t he park for everyone's use. The several trees in the park area are gray birches and have been supplied by t he Circle K members themselves. I n t he center of the park is a circular hill planted with various species of bushes and shrubs which, when grown and shaped will form a W in a circle. Circle K has also installed a cement plaque reading " dedicated to Wilkes Circle K Nov. '77." · Circle K built the park as part of its " Embrace Humanity" project which is to assure the continuity of human life through th e protection of natural resources. Other aspects of "Embrace Humanity" are to enrich human life t hrough the association with the lonely; to sustain human life through health projects; to save human · life through public safety; and to recognize human lives dedicated to serving mankind. Most of the funds for the park project have come from the Circle ~ own treasury with the remainder expected to come from th e Student Government or through Mr. Abate in the UEL~OLR"S BEER Business Office. Planning started in the beginning of October. It was then that the members were given the go-ahead to begin construction by Mr. Abate but due to rainy weather construction took longer than expected. Circle K members did all of the work themselves. If the park proves to be beneficial to t he Wilkes Com· munity the administration has plans to let Circle K develop more empty lots on campus, <Must Have LCB Card} Chuck Robbins Sporting Goods 39 W.

The observations were taken with two of the College's telescopes especially adopted for solar viewing and photography. The photo sequence, taken by Physics students John Gerboc and John Bremser, shows the disc of the moon as •it passes across the face of the sun, partially obscuring it. The eclipse lasted two hours with 17 percent of the sun's disc covered at maximum. The eclipse produced a slight dimming of the daytime brightness which observant Valley residents may have noticed. The photographs also show several sunspots. These are areas on the surface of the sun of high magnetic force and low temperature [only 6400 degrees instead of the usual 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit].

'Other Eleven' Defend 'Flowering Judas' To The Editor: We are 'sending this letter in reply to Bob Welsh's article in which he criticized " Flowering Judas." Mr. Welsh claims Judas has "demonstrated a tendency toward small time humor pointless satire, and out and out bad poetry." We feel that Mr. Welsh should take a look around campus and observe the facts. Point one, humor is relative. Every person is different. Also, · appreciation of poetry is up to the individual. But pointless satire, hardly! It is refreshing to see , someone take up the banner of the students, rather than that of the administration and Public Relations Office.

This twisted soul, who finds an 1 outlet for his deviate ways on poor unsuspecting trees, bushes and shrubbery, is, I theorize, a victim of a poor family upbringing. He, in youth, was probably subjected to a weak father image; this would explain for his obsession with such masculine and phallic objects as trees. · After his guise of the treemanic was exposed his illness, yes his ·mness manifested itself into ·cosmic rays; which is just an indirect way of conveying his never ending obsession. As his need for a fat her image . persisted our poor lost sheep uncovered within himself latent homosexual tendencies, which, by experts, are said to be inborn in all humans, however, in a dormant stage. I fear that my friend is now approaching a crucial period in his life and if he is to remain sane, he must admit to himself his state of preferences and except it as the will of God; if not I can only shrug my shoulders and say, " I tried!"

Vol. I -- No. IX CAREER OPTIONS FOR WOMEN More women are seeking employment o_utside the home. The changed behavior of married college women graduates has significantly contributed to this increase. Moreover, expanded job opportunities for women have been created largely through Women's Rights Movements and federal legislation emphasizing equal rights and equal pay. Yet there are still large numerical gaps between the men and women employed in the areas of law, politics, medicine, business, engineering and architecture. Example, women comprise50 percentof the eligible voters in the United States and there are no women serving in the Senate at the present time. Freshman women can begin now to prepare for the new dimensions that will open to you as a woman upon graduation. Now is the time to begin a career planning program. Consult the Placement Office and talk to a Career Planning Counselor. The Career Planning Library has a listing of "Career Opportunities for Women" by Garrett Park Press. Moreover, the Career Planning Office has a host of. materials affecting career opportunities for women. A career opportunities bibliography for women is available as is a listing of non-profit employment agencies that assist in locating available jobs for women. A series of booklets about career options for undergraduate women has been published by Catalyst, a non-profit organization that helps women choose, prepare for and advance their careers. · The booklets are designed to help women consider jobs at managerial and professional levels in ten fields among them, finance, government, politics, restaurant management and sales. Each publication includes information about educational requirements and job prospects, as well as interviews with active women in the field. Catalyst was founded in 1962 with the assistance of five college - presidents. Othe publications include resume - preparation materials and a career opportunity series for women who have attended college and are redefining their career plans.

You can't do this to me!Please I beg you,no," cried the frantic student as he knelt on both knees,his hands gripping the edge of the table. Behing him the line of other students waited nervous,frightened,and anxious for their turn to be over. ''I'm sorry, there is nothing that can be done for you,either accept the situation or leave the school" came the cool.composed voice from the other side of the table. "What? Leave Wilkes? What will my family and friends say? Leave? And never be able to eat the delicious food in The Commons,fight for a parking place and give up my chair in the lounge of Stark. You can't be . serious?" "I'm telling you for t he last time.young man,either take Skydiving 101,Basketweaving 300 and an Independent Study on Road Construction in . WilkesBarre or transfer for a semester. These other courses are closed." came the voice from the other side of the table. . "Butl dont own a parachute oont like basketweavingand the only thing that I know about the citys road construction is that my car fell into a ditch as I was coming out of- the Park & Lock, and I managed to escape just as the last of the cement that they were pouring covered the top of it, in fact, that's how I got this cast on my arm and this bandage on my head,"sobbed the poor pathetic student. "You are holding up the line with your feeble excuses,"came Poet·r y Reading Had M agic F.or Everyone Although Stark Learning Center does not offer the warmest and most comfortable atmosphere obtainable at Wilkes College, Stark room 1 does have a subtle edge over most of the other rooms in the complex. And with the help of the · usual poetry reading-goers, a "sweet" introduction, and an adjustment to the dimness, it was almost pleasant. Who would have ever guessed though, that with the additional presence of one John Hollander, that ·an air of magic could have been produced, all the way down there in the basement of Stark? ... But there it was. Just seeping out of the walls and flowing along the floor up to everyone's shoes ... and untying them. Hollander, who is currently an associate professor of English at Yale, has had several books of poetry published, along with a book of criticism, '\The Untuning of _the Sky. He has edited both "The Laurel Ben Jonson, and with Harold Bloom, The Wind and the Rain, an anthology of verse for young people. In 1963, he was awarded a grant by the National Institute of Arts and Letters. He spoke for two hours, answering questions at the end. At times it seemed as though he would cry. At other times during the reading it was hard to discern whether it was his poetry he was reading or if it were si!nply his own comments, for the man was mercurial.

The movie, an adaptation of a novel by A very Corman, directed by Carl Reiner,seems to be 0u t to jolt the public with the "real" explanation of Gods ultimate message. I ts manner of presentation is delicious! And so, world, God's imperative advice for us is that we should stop fighting and help each other out instead; how genteel! God makes the scene wearing sneakers, a windbreaker and a fishing cap; the epitome of omnipotence indeed! He directs His attention toward one Jerry Landers (Denver) the assistant manager of a supermarket. God implores Denver to accept · His challenge to "spread the word" and thus he becomes a savior,but not without a sacrifice. The inspired Denver in pursuit of his vision is deemed a lunatic. His wife and children become rather wary of their bread winner when he is ridiculed by the media, with an especially amusing roast which takes place on the Dinah Shore show. Ultimately the modern-day Moses loses his job,to which God responds,"Lose a iob, save a world -it's not a bad deal." God goes on to reassure Denver, in his anxiously insane predicament; "Trust me:• he says:'like it says on the money'.' The benevo- lent One indeed does not forsake our hero, when He appears at Denver's slander trial and upon oath retorts "So help me,Me'.' His optimism that although we don't believe in Him He has faith in us, is enlightening. "This' God advocates free will and in spite of His previous mistakes (which include tobacco, ostriches and avocados) He is convinced that we'can make things work . Hidden within Gods ordinary articulation are ' several other revelations.He makes some heavy criticisms regarding our world as He reflects upon our ruined streams and "the art of making a mackerel;' the smoggy skyways, chemically laden food stuffs and littered landscapes. He relates these disappointments along with some other surprising notes.God does not claim to be "religious'. as He heartily recommends "faith"as ones guide. He insists that performing miracles is "much too flashy';'and that His interference in our lives is meager. Otherwise stated, he discloses "Its all up to you'.' It seems one does not have to be special to be called by God.A ruthless impersonation of Billy Graham by Paul Sorvino speculates between the nature of true faith and hypocritical hogwash. Denver's plight assists in contrasting the two.

The show will consist of twelve pieces of large abstract sculpture. Some works will be as large as five feet in diameter. Parker , who graduated from Yale in 1948 with a degree in Architecture, combines this knowledge with his s~ulpture to create abstract forms which defines volume and emotion. Most of the pieces that will be on exhibit will be in fi ber glass, but the artist also works in plastic, bronze, aluminum and marble, which are all done in round relief. Besides being both an architect and a sculpture, Brooks Parker is also a painter and an inventor who holds several patents in structual systems. He a lso attended Hayter Studio Atelier 17 in New York, wher e he studied etching and engraving. "Abstract forms allow me to deal in specifics - of moods or emotions, of energies and ideas," Parker says. He then goes on tc say that, "Each experience ( of sculpture) is the development of a specific and unique personality. The piece may be proud or modest, calm or feisty, graceful or inept. But the ' abstract form ·can say any of these things - and it's only up to me to shape the voice." A reception will be held for the sculptor on Saturday, November 12 at 7 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

The loss to Bucknell gave the girls a 7-5-1 record for the regular season with a league record of 30. Bucknell was the toughest opponent the team had to face all season and they did a good job despite losing. Wilkes played a great first half keeping on attack evenly with Bucknell. Pam Snyder scored both Colonel goals while Julie Kerrick added an assist. A second half letdown proved to be the difference as Bucknell scored 3 goals in a 15 minute period. Wilkes was outshot in the contest 37 to 15. Lee Ann Earl played a good game making 16 saves. Defensively, Monica Krammer looked good, and LuAnn Neely and Karen Worlinsky both had good outings against two talented wings from Bucknell. Three seniors, ~arb . Gorgas, Jean Johnson, and Ronna Colvin, played their last regular season game against Bucknell. This final game also ended another win season in field hockey at Wilkes. The team has finished above .500 for eight years in a row. Coach Meyers looked back at another successful season stating, "We had a good season inconsistent at times - but a super team to work with. The girls worked hard from beginning to end and much improvement was made by many people." If nothing else, the loss to Bucknell helped the team prepare for the SFHA Tournament. The Blue and Gold turned in a fine 4-1-3 record, their best ever in tournament play. Wilkes tied Bloomsburg in the opening game 0-0, beat Marywood 2-0 and Susquehanna 2-0, tied the Pick-ups 0-0, lost a tough 1-0 decision to Bucknell, defeated State College, 1-0, played to a scoreless tie with Lock Haven, and beat the Centre County Club 2-0. Barb Gorgas scored three goals in the tournament to lead Wilkes, Ronna Colvin added two while J erry Ann Smith and Mary J o Frail added oneach. Mary Jo Frail led the team in assists with four , Jerry Ann Smith had two and Barb Gorgas had one.

Bloomsburg scored the most goals in the tournament hitting the nets 14 times. The Willkes defense and goal tending was tremendous as they allowed only one goalin eight games. Ten players were called to trials: Pam Snyder, Jerry Ann Smith, Lee Ann Earl, Mary Jo Frail, Jean Johhnson, Ronna Colvin, Karen Worlinski, Julie Kerrick, Monica Krammer, and LuAnn Neely. This is the most that were ever called to trails in Wilkes history. It was, by far, Wilkes best tournament ever: best record, most called, most selected, most scoring and best defense and goal tending. Tournaments are the best way to test stamina, and the team - held up well despite being forced to play eight, 25 minute, games in two days. As Coach Meyers put it, that is a lot of Field Hockey. Coa ch Meyers was very pleased with her team, "I was never so proud of a Wilkes team. It was a tremendous weekend of field hockey and we stayed in the thick of it from beginning to end. " Jerry Ann Smith and Pam Snyder will go on to the Mideast Sectional tournament this weekend. This is the second step to the U.S. National Team. The tournament also brought some attention to the quality of field hockey played at Wilkes as was noted by Coach Meyers. " Wilkes Field Hockey is growing and we are starting to be recognized more every year. This weekend of great play will only help keep the growth growing." lave Jolley FOUL SHOTS In the free agent draft held last week, Wilting Judas, whose attack is about as potent as that of nine Mary Throneberry's, failed to attract any noteworthy players to add to their already faltering softball line-up.

Anything that moves with a different color shirt on incurs their wrath. Tony Couto and Bill Sobczak apply the crusher here. Photo by Will Walsh Mass Confusion Evident In Final Seconds Of Loss; Heartbreaker At Juniata It ended in tears. Victory was snatched right out from under them by ultimate confusion. Everyone on the field that had anything to do with the outcome of the game had to be more than slightly bewildered, including the players, coaches, officials, and fans. The Colonels failed to score with 18 seconds left in the game wnen they had the ball on the Juniata 4 yard line. That is a fact. Everything else that led to tha t moment of drama is strictly conjecture. The 5-3 loss to the Juniata Indians is significant in many ways. It prevented the Colonels from finishing with a winning record on the year ; it added a bit of drama and excitement to the season; but most _ importantly, it revealed human frailty. The ga me could be likened to a musical crescendo. What had started quietly came roaring to life in the second half and ended in frenzied motion. The first half of the ball game was boring. Each team had a couple of scoring chances but only one of the four was capitalized on. Dave Korba intercepted his sixth of the year in the second quarter at the Juniata 45 to put the Colonels in decent field position. The interception by the sophomore safety put him only one away from tying the school record of seven in a single season, held by Jay Holliday (1968 ). Mike Wilson quickly reciprocated, however, and the Indians had the ball back. Tony Couto then made a brilliant interception and return to again put the Colonels knocking on the door. Only a superb defensive play at the goal line by a J uniata defender prevented the Wilkes TD. But Dan P isarcik's FG attempt was blocked and the Colonels came up without any points. Mike Molitoris was the hero of the next set of downs when he prevented a J uniata touchdown by capturing the Indian running back after a 68-yard foot race. J uniata then had a TD pass called back because of holding and Molitor is performed more magic by coming up with a diving interception at the Wilkes 2 yard line. With or without the ball, however, Juniata was determined to score. On the next play Doin Dilelsi and Mike Long trapped Mel Johnson in the endzone for a safety and a 2-0 halftime lead. In the third quarter things started happening. On a Wilson bomb, Dave Fritzges was interferred with at the Juniata 30, giving the Colonels a big first down. After a superb catch by Cliff Jones moved it to the 10, the drive stalled and a P isarcik field goal gave the Colonels a 3-2 lead with 10 minutes remaining in the game. Undaunted, Juniata came roaring back to drive 66 yards and recapture the lead with a Stan Nosal 18 yard FG. The Indians had a first and goal on the Colonel 2 but a "brick wall" goal line defensive stand kept the Colonels in the ball game by not allowing the touchdown. With only 2:50 left in the game, the Colonels charged back, determined to keep their winning streak alive. Clutch catches earmarked their frantic drive deep into scoring territory. Mel J ohnson, Bob Rushworth, Dave Fritzges, Cliff Jones, and Paul Wengen all made "panic city" receptions. Included was a deflection that was grabbed by Wengen and an "almost" TD pass to Rushworth that was ruled out of bounds. The phenominal drive ended on the Juniata 6 with no time left on the clock. With 18 seconds left in the game, the Colonels used their last time out to set up a play that was designed to do two things: either score a touchdown or run the clock down further. Three receivers were flooded into the right corner of the endzone and if theywere open, Wilson was to throw to one of them for the TD. If they were covered, the ball was to go directly toward the band director in order to get it out of bounds and stop the clock. There would still be a few seconds left and Pisarcik would be brought on to kick the chip shot field goal and win the game. Ah, but the best made plans of mice and men .. . When the ball was snapped, Wilson saw that the passing lanes were blocked, but instead of throwing the ball out of bounds, he elcted to try and run it into the endzone. The game ended with Juniata standing around while Wilkes valiantly tried to get the FG attempt off. Continued on Page 7 �November 10, 1977, The Beacon, Page 7 Crowd Cheers Booters To Win The Wilkes Ctllege soccer team extended its overall record to 3--8 last Saturday, defeating Delaware Valley , 3-1 , before a crowd of 250 at Ralston Field. Coach Ch:p Eaton said, " I was very proud of our guys. They really went _out there to play." It was a great psychological lift for the Blue and Gold , as Saturday's turnout was the best so far this season. It is hard to work out all week in practice, a nd when game time comes . there is a sparse crowd. When fans begin to dwindle, athletic programs also begin to decline , regardless of the sport. That won't be the case anymore. The fans that attended the match will no doubt return for another exciting game. Senior, Lenny Vekkos was first to hit the nets, 20 minutes into the contest on a cross-pass from freshman , Charles Issacs. Issacs almost made a goal himself, midway through the second period, but Delaware Valley's goalkeeper ma naged to stop his persistant threats several times. · Senior co-captain, Tony Apostolaros scored just before the half ended on a penalty kick. The first attempt was deflected, but Apostolaros made it count on a brilliant second effort. Coach Eaton praised his halfback's defensiv e plays, as he prevented many potential sc oring· driv es . Delaware Valley ma naged to find the nets once in first period action and the first. half ended 2-1 , favor Wilkes. Most of the secon dbalf was a defens ive struggle, with neither team scoring until a third tally was scored late in the game by junior cocaptain, Mario Apuzzo. Former Bishop Hoba n graduate , Dung Chi Duong, assisted on the goal. Apuzzo currently leads the Blue and Gold boaters in scoring, with nine. Coach Eaton was especially pleased with the defensive performances of his fullbacks, Dave Boorman, andy Dutch and Mark Ritter. The awesome play of Wilkes ' fullbacks held the adversary to only eight shots on goal. Freshman goalie, Cliff Brautigan had seven saves for the Colonels. Coach Eaton was expected to lead his forces A-Cota)J to Dickinson College yesterday. Dickinson is a tnuch better team than its record indicates, They are 5-7 overall a nd 4-2 in the Southern Division <MAC) , which is strong and consists of many top teams. Wilkes will conclude its 1977 season Saturday, entertaining FDU Madison at 11 at Ralston Field. It should be a good match-up since Madison has defeated Delaware Valley 4-1 and the Colonels recently defeated Delawa re Valley, 3-1. Coach Eaton is optimistic about this week's contest and hopes for a good cheer ing section. ~6k, ?lt Bob Gaetano "l(c,-rntls~ A LITTLE DEF~-"ISE OF THEIR OWN Tony Aposwlaros and <..: Hff RrauLigan defe nd Lhe Colonel ne Lduring a recem ga me .

L-------------------------From Page 6 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - There can be plenty of room for second guessing on the way that the Colonels ha ndled the last few seconds. Should they have gone for the field goal on third down, thereby giving them 2 chances to make the FG? Should the officials called Juniata offsides on the last play of the game'1 Should Wilkes have called the final time out when they did ? "We opted for the play that we felt was the best under the circumstances ," commented a disappointed Coach Schmidt. "The plan was a good one. I'd ca ll the same play over again. We just didn't execute it in the proper way. It's a tough way to lose a game but we have to remember tha t we are dealing with human beings and not machines."

Rookie Coach Kevin Davenport has engineered one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the college's athletic history. The Colonels had never even been close to a winning season in the history of the sport at the college but iri one short season the fortunes of the cross country program have changed significantly. A major factor in the renaissance has been " Fenomina l Freshman" Dan Thomas. George Pawlush once likened a first place finish in a cross country meet to a no-hitter in baseball, but Thomas garnered 11 firsts out of 14 meets. His matriculation to Colonel-land will hopefully open the flood gates toward the attraction of top flight running talent to Wilkes. · It has been more than just a two man show for the harriers this season, however. Dave Boris, last year's MVP, suffered a severely sprained a nkle early in the season, but showed tremendous determination and came on s trong toward the end of the campaign. • Freshman Ed Eppler running number 2 almost all season , solidifying the Colonel attack ... Dave Kerek improving his times over last season by almost 6 minutes ... Don Patrick and Vince D'Amato showing constant improvement ... Pete Kowalchick, Jeff Da vis, Roger Davis, a nd Mark Zavoy chipping in at key times ... and senior captain Dan Rittenhouse running the best race of his career in order to insure the Colonels winning season. He ran over two miles without any shoes after the mud puddle had sucked off his spikes ... The entire team has much to be proud of in their record-breaking season. 'Thomas 1 0 / h - - - - - - - - - - - Harriers Best -Ever Sho~ing In MAC's • Maybe Wilkes College cross country coach Kevin Davenport should apply for a teaching position with the school's history department. Davenport and his team have set more records and made more history this season than any other sports organization on the campus. The latest historical event was Wilkes' 11th place finish out of 17 entrants, in last Saturday's Middle Atlantic Conference championship tournament held at Memorial Lake State Park in India ntown Gap. It was the finest finish in the history of Wilkes for the tourney . (All World ) Danny Thomas did his bit for history, being the only Blue and Gold harrier to ever finish in the top ten in tbe race, completing the 10,000 meter -course in 33 :04 for tenth place. Finishing behind Thomas for Wilkes were : sor, homore Dave Boris, 37th, 34:57; senior Dan ~ittenhouse, competi.•~ in his final collegiate event, 84th, 37 :41 ; freshman Ed Eppler, 87th, 37: 46; sophomore Don Patrick, 88th, 37:48; sophomore Dave Kerek, 98th, 38 :32; and sophomore Vince D'Amato, 108th, 39:28. Franklin and Marshall copped team honors in the MA.:; tourney with a score of 41. Finishing second was last year's champion, Gettysburg, 74. Other team finishers included: ursinus , 117 ; Johns Hopkins , 121; Lebanon Valley, 145 ; Swarthmore, 148 ; Susquehanna, 200 ; Scranton, 203; Haverford, 232; Delaware Valley , 234 ; Wilkes, 198; Juniata, 356; Muhlenberg, 385 ; Widener , 394 ; ft lbright, 395 ; Drew, 428; and Washington, 455. Eric Holmboe of F&M took first place out of 119 runners in the event with a 31 :54 clocking. So, The Wilkes cross country season comes to an end ; v happv ending. Thomas finishes his first year of collegiate action with 11 fir ·.; t places in 14 meets , while the team overall, in Davenport's first yea r of coaching, sets a school record with a 8-6 slate. · Davenport said after the tourney that he was , " tire<:\ and happ• .." He added he was glad· it was all over and now he ca n work on '·my dumb mistakes." Davenport, one of th most honest coaches n Wyoming Valley stated he might have done some dumb things t. a t might have hurt Wilkes during the year , but he will try to cha ngl' these miscues and come back next year , looking for a better season. The coach seemed relieved while talking about the tourney, and glad that the team won eight meets during the 1977 season, most ever by a Wilkes squad. He also mentioned that he hopes the team will do better next year.

CAPIN ADDRESSES SG TO CLARIFY REPORT President Robert Capin made a surprise appearance at the Student Government meeting Monday night (Nov. 7) in which he heatedly discussed the academic committee's report which he overheard while in the lobby of Weckesser Hall. An apparent disagreement existed between Capin and Dave Evans, chairman oi,. the academic committee, concerning action taken at a recent faculty meeting during which SG's proposed decimal grading system was voted upon. · ]t was reported that two votes were taken on the issue, one to . recount the results of the close first vote, and that the second vote went the opposite way, again by a close margin. (The proposal was defeated the first time, and approved the second.) The final result is that a mail ballot will be conducted to obtain the votes of all faculty members, since only 80 out of 140 were present at the meeting. DeROBERTIS DEFENDS FUNDING DECREASE Commuter Council President Louie DeRobertis defended the council's decision to cut back on party spending..after the recent Halloween proved to be unsuccessfuE He reported that the Student Government Executive Qouncil and IDC were not pleased with CC's decision, but that- he-was not happy_ that no one came to the CC meeting to expresirthIS··opitiion.- --~DeRobertis, in explaining why CC is willing to spend only half the money it usually does on major parties, said, "We are not worried about losing money, we want our parties to be a success." He also indicated that CC will try to promote new activities on campus. NO FINAL DECISION MADE ON WASHERS -Housing Director Joe Marchetti said at the Nov 6 IDC meeting • that the decision to institute a $5 semester charge for ~shers and dryers is not final until approved by the administration. Washers and dryers can be used free of charge for the remainder of the semester as soon as this ~s approved.

Anyone Ballots Sent To Faculty Concerning Proposed Grade Systen Dave Evans, ach ~emic committee chairman, reported at the Student Government meeting Monday evening that ballots have been sent out to the faculty to vote on the SG grading system proposal. This proposal deals with the introduction of the grades 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 into our present grading system for the next incoming fresmJU1n class. These ballots were sent out to the faculty as a result of the recent faculty meeting which, because of much disorder and poor attendance, could not take decisive action on the proposal. The faculty took two different votes on the issue of which the first vote defeated it by one vote while on the second vote· the , proposal won by one vote. Once the faculty members receive the ballots, they will only vote on the SG grading proposal. Dr.J.B.

Frosh Election Tied; Runoff Held Yesterday Grade Policy Approved As Aid ForStudent Cum Students who have received a 1.0 or a 0.0 grade in a course may now take the course over to drop that grade from their cum. This new policy was approved at the last faculty meeting which was highlighted by the controversial issue of the decimal point grading system proposed by Student Government. According to Dr. Eugene Hammer of the Educa ti on Department and chairman of the faculty Academic Standing Committee, the faculty has been discussing this policy for years. In the recent past, however, a subcommittee of this committee was looking into the policy in which they gave a favorable report. The faculty Academic Standing Committee then gave a positive recommendation to the faculty. _ This policy means that if a student receives a 1.0 or a 0.0 in a class, he or she may take the course over. If they improve upon their old grade, their cum will be readjusted to reflect the new grade and ignore the old one. If a student receives a i.0 or a 0.0 again, their cum would not be readjusted. "You can't lose on it," said Hammer. Since it is illegal to erase anything from a transcript, the original grade will remain there. As asterisk, · however, will be placed next to the old grade indicating t hat this grade is no longer involved in the cum average. This new policy -is not going to affect a large number of students according to Hammer. He feel~ that students who have switched their major and want to bring up their cum are · the most likely candidates to take advantage of this new policy.

According to Evans, he feels SG's proposal has a much better chance of winning the support of the faculty rat.ber than the 50-50 chance of winning he stated last week. Evans also reported that he and President Robert Capin met last week and have come to friendly terms. At last week's meeting Evans gave his report of the faculty meeting which Capin overheard during the SG meeting and made a surprise appearance to the body to heatedly clarify the repo~t Eva~s made.

It seems a few weeks back, the club thought it received money from S.G. to go on a trip to New York City. They went on the trip but upon returning found out that they were in debt by $60 which SG now granted to them. Concerning the idea of consolidating the three student bodies; SG, IDC and CC, Carl Holsberger, SG president, asked the body to consider instead better communication between the three bodies. Holsberger is suggesting that all three council presidents attend each of the other council's meetings. It is argured that this will open up the communication lines between the three bodies.

The benches and Circle K As Part When you think of a mini-park, you think of a small place where you can go to rest and relax. Circle K has created a new mini-park that is just such a place. The new park is located near Bedford Hall and in front of the Dining Hall of New Men's Dorm. Two benches, supplied through the Business Office, have been placed in the park for everyone's use. The several trees in the park area are gray birches and have been supplied by the Circle K members themselves. In the center of the park is a circular hill planted with various species of bushes and shrubs which, when grown and shaped will form a W in a circle. Circle K has also installed a cement plaque reading "dedicated to Wilkes Circle K Nov. 1 '77." Circle K ·built the park as part of its "Embrace Humanity" project which is to assure the continuity of human life through the protection of natural MAIL · 0 - GRAM trees provide a place for resting and enjoying the scenery• Creates Mini-Park Of Service Proiect resources. Other aspects of "Embrace Humanity" are to enrich human life through the association with the lonely; to sustain human life through health projects; to save human life through public safety; and to recognize human lives dedicated to serving mankind. Most of the funds for the park project have come from the Circle K's own treasury with the remainder expected to come from the Student Government or through Mr. Abate in the Business Office. Planning started in the beginning of October. It was then that the members were given the go-ahead to begin construction by Mr. Abate but due to rainy weather construction took longer than expected. Circle K members did all of the work themselves. If the park proves to be ·beneficial to the Wilkes Community the administration has plans to let Circle K develop more empty lots on campus. IMMEDIATE ATTENTION Chairmen of the park project were George Seiger and Stan Witek. Advisor of Cirde K is George Pawlush.

DeRobertis feels the space is their along with the old charm of the building as compared to a new facility. Under Committee reports the Common's Committee has been as~igned to take precaution in order that The Beacon may not be stolen again (see related story) Wilma Hurst, Editor of The Beacon, spoke to the body to explain the disapperance of The Beacon last week. Delays Occuring In Constructing New IDC Office Tom Bazzini, IDC president, explained the delay in construction of the new IDC office. The new office was proposed at the beginning of this semester, but construction never came about, and the contractor was dismissed because of some trouble getting parts for the office. A different contractor was hired, and he is expected to begin construction soon in the lobby of New Men's Dorm. Concerning the Commuter Council's decision to cut party spending after the "flop" of the Halloween party, Bazzini reported "no ill feelings" between IDC and CC because of this. The decision on how these parties will be financed in the future is not definite. Joe V. Cribari To Be Featured The noted · English character actor, Peter Bull, will present "An Evening of Bull," sponsored by the Theater Department, on Wednesday, November 30 at 8 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. · Bull presents a unique combination of lecture and acting, reminiscences and discussions, RESPONSE REQUIRED It was reported at Commuter Council meeting Monday afternoon that the Inter-Dormitory Council is not happy with CC's decision to cut their share of party funding in half. CC decided two weeks ago, after it's disasterous Halloween Party that it would cut it's party funding and try to promote new activities on campus. Tom Bazzini, IDC president, implied at the Student Government meeting that because of CC's decision, IDC is going to run into financial difficulties funding the Christmas party. Louie DeRobertis, CC president, stated CC and IDC simply do not see each others logic behind the issue. " So we will just spend the money the way we want to" said DeRobertis. · Under other council matters, it was announced that the first meeting of the Advisory Council for the Capital Gifts Campaign will be tomorrow. This Campaign will be conducted in order that a major goal of the College such as a new dorm, addition to the gym, or a new SUB be financed. DeRobertis, however, reported that the possibility of a new dorm is now in jeopardy since the school.did not receive a loan from the Department of Housing Urban Development. He did add that the administration is considering remodeling the Carriage House that carries the audience along in freely floating, seemingly spontaneous presentation that avoids the bulldozing effect that some drama forms create. Bull touches on various humorous episodes from his life and acting career with a less than bullish air. In fact, he suppl <'ments his stand-up narrator act with sevflral scenes from films aild plays he has performed in and quotations from some of his humorous works, including his "Teddy Bear Book'. A character actor of forty years standing in the English and American Theater, he has created such diverse characters as Pozzo in "Waiting For Godot;' Tappercoom in "The Ladys Not For Burning;' Sgt. Buzfuz in " Pickwick' and Tetzel in "luther'. a: On screen, his Russian Ambassador in "Doctor Strangelove;' Thwack um in "Tom Jones' and Duchess in the recent " Alice In Wonderland' have received world-wide acclaim. Bull rose from ordinary seaman to Commander in World War II. He participated in the Sicily, Saterno, Anzio landings and the Dieppe Raid.He was awarded th-a Distinguished Service Cross for gallantry in action. In addition to his acting, Bull has authored eight books, whicr have been mostly autobiographical. The exception was "The Teddy Bear Book: which caused a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic. Bull has made guest appearances ori many talk shows with his collection of Teddy Bears. ~!;_UM~~ORD NL .....ht. L.,..

Obviously we at The Beacon are not happy to see so many hours of work, hassles and headaches go to waste. But we're not alone in our loss.

Sturdevant Responds To CC To The Editor: This letter is in reply to the article concerning CC's complaint about their Halloween prrty on Oct. 29. We think that CC Pres. DeRobertis was talking off the top of his head when he said the Sturdevant party was the reason Alumnus Defends John Chwalek for the CC-WC 1>_arj;y's _fllUure. The facts are that (1), Sturdevant hadn't advertised its party until the Wed. and Thurs. before the CC party. We didn't sell tickets until Thurs. night--in fact, only 10 tickets were sold on Thurs. The CC party had been advertised at least 1 to 2 weeks in advance and plenty of people could have purchased tickets, if "hey wanted to go. Second, the cost of the CC party was more than most students could afford. Because of this, the girls in Sturdevant asked if they could have a party. Since it was approved by the Housing Office, we went ahead with plans. We cant help and shouldnt be blamed for the failure of CCs party. Obviously, CC has no one else to blame, therefore Sturdevant was used as a s_capegoat.' It really doesnt matter a whole lot to us that we were blamed, because we know it was not our fault. We didnt plan our party with the intention of taking away from CCs party.And we think it is very unfair and immature of the CC president to put us down in that way. Were just defending ourselves against unfounded allegations. .

Such was the genesis of Mia's musical intrigue. Her talents, piano playing and voice, may well be God-given since she has never had a lesson in either area, yet she devotes this ability to the donor; she sings about God. " Most of my songs, really all of my songs have to do with God," Mia told me, relating her experience with the church. "They told me to come up and paly the piano and I could hardly play it then but it encouraged me to play." Mia's father also appears to have played an important role in influencing her musical fascination as she related,"My father plays by ear too. So I would look at him play and wonder how he did it." , Mia was only 13 then, but the intermediate time span has not deterred her purpose and ~rtainment regarding the outcome of ly has intensified her talents.

Main St., Wilkes-Barre Phone 822-4171 or 822-4172 Soccermen Close Year With Double Defeats Wilkes College completes its 1977 season in the MAC soccer division last week, recording a disappointing 3-8 log. The Colonels got off to a slow start, losing five matches before breaking into the win column. In their season opener, Wilkes lost a 4-1 decision to Upsala. After losing the first contest of a campaign, it is very difficult to get on the winning track. The Blue and Gold finally snapped its losing streak with a 4-3 overtime victory over Baptist Bible, but were unable to be consistent as they lost next to the University of Scranton, 4-1. The Colonel booters recorded their second win by defeating Albright, 1-0. It wasn't until their eleventh game of the year that the Colonels added a third win to its record, edging Delaware Valley, 3-1. The Colonels at- · tributed that win to a large crowd that turned out to cheer them to victory. Last week's action saw Wilkes drop two matches to close the season. On Wednesday, Coach Eaton and his forces travelled to Carlisle to meet Dickenson College, but returned home with a 5-3 loss. Hopes were high as Wilkes jumped out in front with a quick 2-0 lead, but they were unable to hold the advantage. Lenny Vekkos scored twice for the Colonels and co-captain Tony Apostolaros hit the scoring nets once. The Colonels hoped to finish their season with a win, but ended on the short end of a 3-0 decision. Madison FDU played a physical game and Wilkes just couldn't stay with them. FDU's captain opened the scoring with an unbelievable · volley shot from twenty yards out. Colonel goalie Cliff Brautigan said, " I've never seen anything like it except in the pros. It was quite a crowd pleaser, since the pass never hit the ground. Timing and coordination were exceptional. " The key to- the Madison win was possesion, " commented Eaton. When Madison had the ball, it seemed as if they knew exactly how to crack the Colonel defense. Another factor which helped them was their brand of -physical play, although it frequently caused trouble. One player for FDU r eceived a warning when the official caught him taking a cheap shot at Zooniv. Although Wilkes was unable to find the nets, co-captains Mario Apuzzo and Tony Apostolaros set up a lot of shots on goal. Len Vekkos almost scored but an excellent save by the goalie erased the threat. Madison took 17 shots on goal to Wilkes 11 and Colonel goalkeeper, Cliff Brautigan, made 11 saves. Playing their last game in a Blue and Gold uniform were Tony Apostolaros, Len Vekkos, Steve Kinback and Ed Finn. Scoring ,., leaders were Mario Apuzzo, with nine'; Tony Apostolaros, five; Lenny Vekkos, four; Dung Chi Duong, two; Joe Piccone, and Nick Golowich, one each.

At first I thought all you had to do was put on a uniform and play baseball." Th ose were the words of Jim Stehle, former Wilkes pitching ace, and now a hurler in the San Diego Padres farm system, concerning the adjustment · from college ·to professional baseball. Stehle has just returned from the west coast, where he participated in the Instructinal League, after finishng his first season of Class A ball with the Reno, Nevada Silver Sox. When the lefty was selected in the sixth round of last ' years draft, he was assigned to the Reno team, . which had already played half of its season. Stehle did not have to go to the rookifrball league like other draftees. Instead he went right to Class A competition, where they needed pitchers. Stehle did not set the league on fire with Reno, but he did impress Padre officials so much that they selected him to be one of eight pitchers chosen for the Instructional League with San Diego. The traveling, according to Jimmy, was unlike other minor Sportsmanship · Evident The site of Seth Silver tearfully turning- _over the game ball to the Riders in a touching congratulatory gesture after his team,the "'' Smegma~. had once more lost t he title game,exemplified the type of sportsmanship that had been -f . displayed by the entire league throughout the course of the \ intramural footb a ll season . L ea g ue commissioner Mike (Gater) Aed would like to thank all t hose teams which contributed, with special thanks to the clubs which showed up for every game, and head referee Brian Roth , would like to extends thanks to those who didnt. On the · other side of t he Spectrum, congratulations must be extended to the Sturdevant Hall basketball team, which captured the womens basketball crown with a perfect 6-0 record. For the women of Sturto, who clinched the title with a 23-17 victory over Hollenback, the big guns al: season long were J oAnn " Pi,;tol' Mican, Amy "Flash' Gordon.and Jo Ellen "Cheese' Lacotta. Head coach Sharon Wilkes also credited much of t he teams success to t he fact that Gail ' Powers, Mary Giblin, and Dawn "LED ZEPP E LIN' Kelly never showed up for any of the games.

When Reno played at home it would draw very well, with the Sox being the only professional baseball team iri the state of Ne, ada. Nevada' s govenor was a frequent visitor at Sox contests. When he first arrived at Reno, Jim said it took him a while before he really fit in with the rest of the team."after a while, the other players would come up to you and just talk about anything to relieve your nervousness." He also mentioned that there was a big difference from college to pro, in the way the opposition treated you. "When I was at Wilkes, and we played Elizabethtown or somfrbody like that, they would heckle me throughout the game, but in the minors, everybody is in the same boat. Nobody make fun of you, they all try to help each ot her, en the ot her team." The lefty explained the reason for the Instructional League. "It is mainly used for the purpose to cut off years of minor league ball for- a top prospect.

Coach Bearde feels his 1977-78 cage team has what it takes, and can be No. 1. "Right no'(v, we're out to prove something. The last couple of years, people figured us to be contenders and it didn't work out. This season, nobody thinks we can win, and we're out to prove ourselves," stated the 6lonel mentor. Bearde has a well-balanced club to work with, in eight lettermen returning, mixed with other veterans and a fine crop of four freshmen. Bearde said Wilkes will use a controlled offense this year, opposed to last season's nm and gun style. "We won' t be running that much this year, except on a steal or when we need it." One area where Bearde said Wilkes will have to come through in is at the center and power forward positions. Big Jeff Baird and John Zapko are the main men here. Zapko, who averaged 13.2 points per game last season, and led the team in rebounds with 163, will be counted on to put points on the board. The tall, lanky 6-6, 175 pounder has to be considered as one of the top shooters among the big men in the MAC ' Zap" hit on better than 50 per cent from the field a year ago, in addition to being very durable, while appearing in all 22 Wilkes games. Baird, the biggest and maybe the quietest of the 6lonels, is another key to the Blue and tild's success. The 6-7, 210 pounder averaged 8.5 points per game last year and was second in rebounds, although only playing in 16 games. Baird, who plays a lot like Bob i.nier of the Btons, is the muscle man for Wilkes inside, while Zapko compliments him with lazor-beam outside shooting. Fillinf in at the other forward spot or where necessary are: former Wyoming Area star G>rge Oschal; well-known sports columnist Bob Welsh; Meyers grad Don Winder; and Ed Van Buren, a returnee from last year's jayvee squad. Oschal who Bearde calls "one of the best shooters on the club," will be cahed upon to display the form he showed at Wyoming Area as an all-scholastic. Welsh, is a John Havlicek type of ball-player, who is ready for any position at anr time ~o help the tea_m. Winder, one of the four freshmen, 1s showmg good form m the early practices and word is from Meyers' grads that Winder is one of the most hustling players to ever play for Jim Williams at the South Wilkes-Barre school. Van Buren is a 6-3, 180 pounder from Boyertown, who was one of the top scorers on the Wilkes jayvee team a year ago. . The guard position will be handled by: captain Ken Hughes, who will act as the playmaker; Nicky Holgash, Mr. Hustle; Terry Schoen, a man of a thousand moves; and sweet-shooten Artie Meigh. Hughes, a 6-2, 165 pounder from the Bronx, N.Y., was selected to be captain a week ago, and feels he can do the job. " I'm thrilled, and I hope I can carry out the role bf a captain to the best of my ability," added Hughes, who averaged 11.8 points per game and led the team in assits and steals a year ago. Holgash and Schoen form a type of " Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid" duo. Holgash is a scrapper and hustler on defense, while Schoen is the confidant offensive player. Both will have to have fine years for Wilkes, as the Colonels f3:ce _so1:1e toug~ backcourt men in the MAC. For example, Paul Miermck1 and Phil J ohnson of t he Scranton Royals. Meigh, the only sophomore letterman on the '. "afn, is a p_ure shooter from the field and bet ter yet, from the t he fr~ t hrow stnpe, where he hit on 20 of 22 shots last season. Meigh was a capable substitute last year, and is even better this season. The other t hree freshmen on the team are: forward Mike McCarrie; guard John Stevens; and guard Rick Leandri. McCarrie played for last year' s Phladelphia Catholic Champion F ather Judge team, where he lettered two years. Stevens is a 6-2, 170 pounder from Belle Mead, N.J ., where he captained Hillsborough High Schol in his senior year. Leandri, a former Bishop O' Reilly standout from Luzerne, lett ered three years while at t he Kingston school. ·. Rounding out the 1977-78 Wilkes COllege basketball team 1s junior guard Rick Marshall. Marshall, a 5-9, 175 pounder from Hazelton, was a backcourt man for t he Wilkes jayvee team last year. . With his roster set, Bearde s~s the only problem this year for the Colonels being the schedule. "The schedule is going to hurt us for two reasons. One, after we play Dec. 13, we are off untill J an. 14, roughly a five-week layoff, with no practices or games. And two, we play all our t ough conference road games first, an~ t hen end ~he year wit h the teams at home. We have to hope not to start out with a bad streak." Bearde sees the Royals of Scranton University and Albright College as being the favorites in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Scranton coach Bob Bessior said his team will finish no less than third in the nation in Division III. Bearde and the boys will have something- to say about that before the season ends. .

The vote was 80 in favor, 52 opposed, and one abstention. The vote was conducted by mail ballots after a poorly attended, highly disorganmid faculty meeting took two hand count votes on the important issue which resulted in two different decisions. According to Dr. Eugene Hammer, academic standing committee chairman, the committee is in charge of setting the procedures of how these new grades will be implemented into the grading system. The two options most talked about are administering the grades to tne next inr.ommg freshmen class and so on down as proposed by SG or to open this new grading system to all students for next year. What this committee decides will not need faculty approval. "I' m really happy it passed and I a little surprised" said Carl Holsberger, SG president who , drafted the proposal last year. "his proposal did go before tne ~ulty last year but since the :ademic St anding committee ,d not make any recommenda,j on one way or another, it was ruled out of order. The proposal . was sent back to the committee and was postponed until this year. The committee t hen reviewed SG' s proposed grading system along wit h the present one and one devised by Dr, Charles Reif. In brief, Reifs proposal dealt with having a numerical term on t he student's report card to represent his test -score average along with his normal grades. These proposals were presented to the faculty with no recommendations on any one and a mail vote was taken on the SG · proposal after the confusion at the last faculty meeting. . "I don't thinlc the presenC grading system is fair because the gap between 2.0 and 3.0 is :too__ big" explains Holsberger. In further reasoning for proposing· this grading system Holsberger said "We have now added three additional grades which will give a better measurement of the student's ability." · At the Student Goverment meeting Monday night it was reported that some of the professors do not understand how this grading system will be use d. One professor was noted as interpreting a grade·of B- as 2.5. As it stands now, professors use the grading system according to their own guidelines and must use a certain amount of their own judgment while adhering to the basic requirements of the system. "The new grades are considered plus grades not minus grades, in other words, a D+ ; Ct and B +" said Holsberger. He continued by saying "We did not add minuses because too many grade divisions is simply too confusing." Concerning the interpretation of the professor who feels a B- is a 2.5 Holsberger stated "a 2.5 is not a B-. A B- is a 3 in the present grading system and in t he SG system. This is the intent of the SG grading system. Jim Edwards Evaluation Of Theater Dept. Notes 1 Disinal' Conditions A recent evaluation of the Theater Department by a representa tive from Carnegie-Mellon · University notes that "lack of direction or structure, destruc- · tive vagueness or non-existence of objectives, insufficient or ineffective use of human or physical resources are apparent in every segment of the program." . Walter Eysselinck, a member of the Carnegie-Mellon Department of Drama, pointed to what he termed a "confidence crisis" in the department and claims that the core of the program is in "dismal shape." . In a four and one-half page report to Provost Richard Soter, he lists the most serious problem as the theater curriculum. "There appears to be no sense of priorities·, no sequence; there are very few, if any requirements or pre-- , requisites," he writes. "Some of the 1,ourses listed, if ever taught, have not been offered in years." . In his opinion, the department's problems are "too profound and general to be resolved by mere structural adjustment and change. It is rooted in a lack of competent and energetic leadership leading to the students' harsh criticism of the director of the program and to an unwillingness on the part of theater-oriented members of the English faculty to teach theater history and dramatic literature courses for which they are obviously qualified. This is indeed an impossible situation." . The theater program at the College exists as . part of the English curriculum, whereby a student can concentrate in theater, but majors in English. Although Eysselinck says that a number of students are "uneasy" about the place of the theater program in the English Department, and also says that the feeling is understandable in the "present Ul)happy climate," he sees no cause for major concern. . He does, however, point to a need for additional human resources within the theater department, specifically a wardrobe supervisor and a technical manager-shop supervisor. He continues in his report, "The theater department first and foremost needs a strong, experienced teacher of acting and directing who will also provide the leadership the program requires." He also &uggests that the department bring in visiting artists each semester to teach courses the college cannot afford to offer on a full-time basis. . Another fundamen_tal c_hange suggested by Eysselinck 1s · the separation of the management of the Dorothy Dfokson Darte Center for the Performing Arts from . the academic theater program. He notes that the limitations of available resources "in a crisis of this magnitude" and the "horrendous amount of work that needs to be done simultaneously" makes such a move advisable. Alfred Groh is suggested as the Soter Discusses Theater Report boasts a long list of achievements supposed to be doing. To in the theater, both in the United accomplish our objectives it States and in Europe. appears we need more than the According to Soter no direct present staff of two and a few action has been taken as a result hangers-on. "Unless some sort of change is of the evaluation because of the "staffing implications" involved effected, with the cun-ent rate of in the process which must include student attrition in the program, a review of needs on a we regretfully can look forward to college-wide basis. "The normal putting the facility (Center for the procedure is to assess those needs Performing Arts) in mothballs at and place them according to some future date, unless we turn it into some sort of community priority," he said.

Student, Faculty Concern Noted---The evaluation of the theater department was precipitated by "a number of stories from students and faculty who asked us to review the curriculum and staffing appropriate to the concentration, and to determine whether the faculty directly involved were of the caliber necessary to carry out the pro'Qclm," This statement was made b~ Provost Richard Soter, to whom the evaluation by Dr. Walter Eysselinck of Carnegie-Mellon University was addressed. . Eysselinck visted the campus in September, spending two days touring the facilities and interviewing students, faculty and administrators. According to Soter, all persons interviewed received a copy of the evaluation after the Provost received it in October. Soter termed Eysselinck an "objective observer, with no ties to anybody on campus." He also explained that Eysselinck was recommended by the National Endowment for the Humanities in Washington, D.C Eysselinck most suitable person for t he job of full-tiine director of the C.P .A., as "Mr. Groh possesses all the qualities necessary to handle the job on tfiis basis." . Another problem within the department, according to Eysselinck, is the failure of the C.P.A. to realize its full potential, since numerous meetings and lecture-type events could be re-located to make more time available for performances .•~lso, "wasted human resources are apparent, as faculty time and energy · should not be spent on servicing and maintenance duties, and "the proportion of student time and enthusiasm· that gets channelled into such crew assignments as box office seems exorbitant." . Eysselinck notes in his report that he was impressed with the "extent to which all of the people... I talked to share a justifiable pride in and concern for the mstitution, a commitment to guality .education in the best liberal arts tradition, and a keen awa~n~s of the place and the role of t_h e College in the local community. "That commitment makes the present situation of the theatre on this attractive campus all the more deplorable." Editor's Note: The Beacon contacted Mr. Groh, chairmll!l. of the Theater Department, for bis comments on the theater evaluation done by Dr. Eysselinck .. Mr. Groh . gave the following written statement to The Beacon. The Theater Department ~ recently visited by a professional colleague to give his opinions on potential changes ~d additions to the program. Like every other department of .the . college, we welcome fair and objective review of our activity. Over the years it has been my concern that the theater program constantly move in a forward direction and remain viable to serve all students interested in the libenl arts. Since the administration initiated the evalution, Hed it is only proper that the Provost and the President comment on the report submitted to Dr. Soter by Dr. Eysselinck. The report is in the hands of the administrative officials of the _,,.,·------·--·--·~--~~~~~~~~~~~~ College and it wu1 be their responsibility and decision to act on the report.

The committee is proposing a new parking policy for Wilkes College students at Park & Lock which is controlled by the Parking Authority of Wilkes-Barre. The proposal deals with charging fifty cents a day instead of the present $12 a month. All students would recieve a sticker allowing them this privilege. Louie DeRobertis, CC president, argues that the commuter will save in the long run and that with all students having these stickers, car pools will be easier to form. At present the monthly stickers are not transferrable from car to car which hinders the possibility of car pools. DeRobertis noted that dormitory students will also save in the long run because on weekends all the on campus lots are open for students to park their cars. Under new business, since the bus trip to New York city was such a success, CC is planning another trip during the Christmas break.

At last week's meeting Tom Bazzini, IDC president, attended and requested CC for money to co-sponsor the IDC-CC Christmas party as planned. (CC planned not to fund this party because the Halloween party was not a success.) Bazzini also mentioned that if CC did not financially support the party ticket prices would be seven dollars for commuters and five dollars for dormitory students. After much discussion, CC decided to fund this party on the basis that it is being held off campus and these parties have been successful in the past. CC, however, will not put much suppport into the St. Valentine's Day party because it is held on campus as was the Halloween party. The council is still going to try to promote new activities on campus such as a clam bake.

To Bring The Honors Home The Wilkes College, Debate Union, coached and directed by Dr. Bradford L. Kinney of t he College Speech Division, continues to add more victories to its long list of accomplishments. The Debaters have just returned from two days of competition at George Mason University, Fairfax, Va., where they competed against 29 forensic insitutions of higher learning. The Wilkes Unit, consisting of Marcia Stratton, Davida Roberts, Donna Korba, David Evans, and Dr. Kinney, finished the tournament in the top ten percent, ending with an eighth place overall finish. Considering t he level of competition, previous student experience and budget limitations, the speakers from Wilkes made an impressive showing. Along with its fine overall finis h, Wilkes also · won two additional trophies. Donna Korba captured a fourth place win in Original Persuasive Discourse and Dr. Kinney was recognized by the host school as one of the outstanding coaches attending the tournament. The victories at George Mason University raise the number of awards won by the Debate Union this year to 26.

The cover would be used to protect the gym floor for concerts, dances and other events. Black has talked with Dean of Management, Andrew Shaw, and Business Manager, Charles Abate, and has concluded t.hat the administration may split the expenses of the floor covering with SG. It has been estimated that the total costs for the covering will be around $10,000. Without the covering, Dean Edward Baltruchitis,SG advisor,implied that no inore activities such as concerts, dances, and lectures would take place in the gym. Black stated that there is no question about the need for the covering,it is just a question of how much the administration and SG are willing to spend. In related business, Black reported that Sha Na Na is being considered for the spring concert. This concert would be held on March 15 or 16, the day of and the day after the end of classes for the Easter~Spring break. Most SG members expressed discontent with the dates - but feel Sha Na Na would be something different. No decision has been made yet.

He led a discussion on the scholastic calendar for next year. ·Topics discussed were starting the fall semester either before or after Labor Day, having a fall break before Thanksgiving and how many days should finals end before Christmas. Many different· views were expressed by SG members such as moving Christmas to the 29th. The only item most agreed upon was that there should be a fall break. Holsberger reported that Provost Richard Soter will attend Monday's SG meeting and will be open for suggestions on next year's . calender. · The only fund request at the meeting 'Yas by the MENC Club which received $75 to sponsor a workshop with the Pottstown Brass Quintet.

I D.ECKUUR'S BEE.R Across from Bishop Hoban -Imported Beers-Cold Beer-Quarters&Halves-Full Line of Beer<Must Have LCB Card ) �, PAGE 4, THE BEACON, DECEMBER 2, 1977 We Dave An Obligation... NO SMOKING----When a college newspaper obtains controversial information that could prove to be embarassing to the institution, the editors are forced to make a difficult decision--should the story be printed, the student body informed, tne responsibility accepted, or should the easy way be taken, and the information stifled? The answer we came up with is the only one we could give. Our responsibility is to the students of Wilkes College. When a situation exists that points to a problem with the quality of life at this college, we cannot pretend that the situation is a figment of someon's imagination or that it will go away if ignored. We could never justify our refusing to acknowledge or address problems on this campus if we have the information and the means to do so, for we would be betraying our fellow students and ourselves. We were faced with this type of decision when we came to possess information ftgarding an evaluation of the theater department. While it would have been easy for us to ignore this information, we felt that our obligation to the student body and to our own conscience did not allow us to do so. Although this issue goes further- than any of us realize, it is not one which could be fairly dealt with unless it were discussed openly. Part of our responsibilty as a newspaper is to present the story as fairly and accurately as we can, and then allow our readers to draw their own conclusions. This is what we have done. We have said in the past and will repeat that we have not and will oot print anything that deliberately sets out to harm this college and its image. We feel a deep sense of pride and concern for Wilkes and want to see the quality of its education continue to improve with time. Growth is often a painful process, however, and one must sometimes feel the pain before the process can begin. We hope that the administration, board members and others involved do everything in their power to make every aspect of Wilkes College something we can all be proud of.

Criticism Directed .Toward.Washer Fee To The Editor: I would }ilte to express my ex treme disapproval of the proposal by IDC to place a ' mandatory $5 addition to the room ,and board charges of dormitory students for the use of washing machines and dryers. Not only is this unfair to students who make little use of that equipment, but it also forces students to pay for facilities that are inadequate and in desperate need of repair. If I am to pay such a charge, then I would expect a concurrent improvement in those facilities. New and more machines must be purchased, for surely those machines now present have long since paid for themselves, cost little to maintain and therefore do not justify the room and board increase. . Before I pay, I would like to have reasons and assurances from maintenance to make me believe that things will improve, for · surely, in the past, they have not. · Yours truly, D.A.Huris - - - - - - - - - ~ By Tex and Fritz Dear Scooping Fans, It's us again Tex and Fritz, of course, bringing you more of the campus highlights.

Sf onsored by the Kiwanias Club o Wilkes-Barre, the club is comprised of approximately 43 members. . Some of the many projects the organization has been busy working with include, a recent car smash to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. Other members answered telephones at the WNEP-TV Channel 16 studios for the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy. Still others help at WVIA-TV Channel 44 by answering telephorres for a talk show. During any one month, Circle K members are involved in a variety of activities. A young man named Bob Feebish has been aided by Circle K members. · Following injuries he sustained in a tragic accident, he was left in need to therapy. The Circle K members help with the excercises, known as patterning. Their patient efforts have given him a second chance on life as his condition has improved. Anyone interested in offering their time to help should contact a Circle K member. Future Circle K projects include a dance to benefit Multiple Sclerosis, and an Easter collection of food to be distributed to needy families in the Wyoming Valley. One very special project is the Santa's Workshop, which will be held in the Bicentennial Building on Public Square. According to Circle K Senior representative Jean Johnson, an English and Theater Arts major from Lehman the worksh_op will run for approximately two weeks and Finals Fast Approaching; All Strive To Survive **** It is against the law to drive .:amels along highways. ·.'-© ., 1 have a nice weekend ... . j;?

All of a sudden (or more preferably, it seems, ~ince "Star Wars' was born) everybody wants to get into the act. God grief! First it was "Star Wars' now "Starship Invasions" and coming up, another s:ience fiction film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Even the Carpenters are singing about space men and flying bodies that go whrnT... as they implore "Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" (Whew!) to come in peace because we are their friends. But do they really exist? Honestly, little green men! Perhaps !J>me night these strange creatures just may contact our little orb. What then? Well, according to "Starship Invasions" we are already sharing our home (unknowingly) with the evtraterrestrials. . Among the "stars' are stars Christopher Lee and Robert Vaughn. Lee portrays a sinister alien leader determined to conquer earth, destroy its inhabitants and then repopulate it. What an array of evil doers! But it seemed particularly distresang to find Lee cast in such a role. After his magnanimous "Dracula" dramatizations it is just not fitting that he should pera>nify a character who, by the way, does not even speak; thoughts are "heard" not spoken. Still malevolent; ye~ and still dre!Hld in black Lee is, consequently, a bit of a let down in his alien role. The movie is not entirely composed upon evil guidelines, there are a few virtuous personages present. These al9> are aliens, they are "good" aliens as opposed to Lee's "bad" aliens. ( And as stated before, the martians aren't green, by the way, as in this case.) The good aliens are asasted by Vaughn, an astromomer and avid UFO fan, in saving the earth from Lee's treachery. Naturally the good aliens are dre!Hld in pastel colors, in white surroundings, signifying their worth. How creative; any vegetable can understand the black-white, good-bad theory, it's ancient as is this movie's plot. Somehow itpoi11e$eSthat archaic "Outer Limits" kind of flavor, relatively -over e-inphas.zed and now seemingly intolerable. This is the kind of movie whereby one leaves the theater, goes out into the parking lot and stares questionably into space. A snowy night, however, provides!J>me uncompromising restraints (such as limited visibility) and in this case, was most welcome. The "suicide disease" instigated by the renegade aliens as part of their conquest of the earth, caused several humans to willingly kill either themselves or those nearby, producing a considerable amount of gore. These s:enes were a bit too intense and too numerous. In contrast to the bloody epimes, "Starship Invasions'' is sprinkled (more like doused) with touches of femininity. Warning-these are "not" what would be expected. Evidently the martiamare very fond of our erotic forms of behavior. These sparsely costumed females display provocative mannerisns, producing sex-oriented s:enes not well suited for this type of show. A typical example is the farmer who is captured.by the aliens after which he is seduced by a sexy alien female. He later commits suick.J. bconceivable! As for preferences, it seems the crazy antics of the two computerized comics from "Star Wars' are better merited than the actions in "Starship Invasions." However, to those who yearn for the old "Twiligt Zone'"' Outer Limits'' -type presentation, "Starship Invasions'' might provide great comfort.

Bits Of Long Lost Legislation Throughout the eons there have been many laws lost in the struggle; the struggle of time. Many of these laws have indeed become obsolete (Thank God!) yet it must be remembered that in their day and age they were considered ve1y reasonable. Because these reasons no longer exist, we today might possess the tendency to call them pure foolery. Consequently, however, they were at one time very real! Here we will attempt to reproduce just a few of these lost laws. After surviving over 12 weeks of tests, term papers, eight o'clock classes, registration, and the food in the caf, Wilkes students are n<'w in for another fun-filled experience. . Yes, now ~hat the e~d of classes is finally in sight, and as a long, l::..zy party-filled vacat10n glows in the distance, there is one last hurdle to be crossed. The epilog of the semester is known as finals week. For so~e students, the schedule may not be so bad, for others, two exams may be scheduled at. the same time or one exam may be on December 12 and there may not be another until December 20. And what can be more fun than a Saturday afternoon final? But, if the student population can survive this long, surely a little more strength can be mustered for the "final stretch!" Hang in there---the end is "finally" in sight. DECEMBER 2, 1977, THE BEACON* PAGE 5 At 137 S.

Next on t he menu is t he Binghamton Invitational Tour- nament which will be held on Sunday, December 4. Hosted by Binghamton, the other s:hools invited to participate are Cornell Gettysburg, and Wilkes. It is a double entry tourney where each team enters two men in each weight class. This gives every wrestler at least two matches including the consolation round. The Colonels have been involved in this tourney twice and have come home with the champion~ip trophy both times. " It is a very fine tournament," commented Coac!J John Reese.

When asked how many students this will affect, Holsberger said, "one too many." In other new business, Holsberger reported that SGs academic committee is going to propose to the faculty that no tests be given the last week before finals. Last year, the department heads voted in favor of this policy, 18-6, but many professors have not been following this idea. SG.vould like to make this idea an academic policy which would be strictly enforced.

Reporting on the recent faculty academic standing committee meeting, he said that seniors graduate with the reouirements of the College bulletin for the year they enter as freshmen or graduate with. It is stated for this year's senior that he or she must at least graduate with a 1.85 cum. This has, however, changed. Seniors who take advantage of the new policy where one can drop a 1.0 or 0.0 by taking the course over and have their cums readjusted must graduate with a 2.0. It will also be stated in next year' s bulletin that all must graduate with at least a 2.0 cum.

Jim Edwards Modifications To Be Made -In Financ ial Aid Procedures Several changes have been ,nade involving application procedures for financial aid for the 1978:79 academic year. According to Richard Raspen, director of financial aid, the changes themselves fall into two categories: forms and filing dates. I n t he past, a separate applicat ion had to be filed for the Basic Grant Program. Beginning with the 1978-79 year, Pennsylvania residents must apply for a Basic Grant by filing the State Grant application of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency. A new form has been developed by PHEAA which will serve as the application for both the State and the Basic Grant Programs. This "Composite Form" will be mailed to current State Grant recipients in the near future, and will be processed without charge to the students. The Financial Aid Office will also have forms available for those students who do not-receive one in the mail. Non-Pennsylv ania residents will be able to apply for a Basic Grant by completing a Financial Aid Form and sending it to the College Scholarship Service in Princeton, New Jersey. Some students, like New Jersey residents, may also use the FAF to apply for their state's State Scholarship--Grant Program. Additional information on those programs should be made available in the near future. In any case, every .student should file an application (either the PHEAA--BEOG Composite Form or the ~AF ) for a Basic Grant. Even 1f a student ,was Yet -For New York Bus Trip denied assistance in the past, he should reapply, because changes in program regulations andor changes in the family's financial circumstances may mean he would be awarded a grant for 1978-79. The final form change involves the demise of t he Parents' Confidential Statement as a need analysis document. Instea ) f Robert J.

Last year, the Council nearly died and for obvious reasons. The President, Dave Cherundolo, lacked the leadership for the job. Council meetings were every two weeks and lasted about twenty minutes. The Council had no major accomplishments to speak of and student interest was low, so naturally, attendance was _ poor. Things have drastically turned arouncl for !h~ better and Louie DeRobertis, CC president, is the main reason_, _ He constantly brings new ideas to the Council and wants to try new things that past Councils would never even dare to try. He holds meetings every week that last sometimes as long as an hour and a half. (A record in CC history) He leads most of t he discussions but in no way dominates them. He is open to suggestions and other ideas from Council members. No More "B\dhps" This is also a big difference over last year's Council. Council members are no longer the "bumps on a log" they used to be. Students such as Diane Marcinko, CC treasurer, Dave Evans, Becky Toton, Sue Fischer: John Griffth, Sue Pudlosky and Denise Strickland, CC vice-president. contribute regularly at Council meetings. Attendance has also been- excellent this semester. The accomplishments of the Council; however, do not reflect the actual work the Council has put into them. Both the Smorgasbord, held earlier in the semester, and the Halloween party were disasters because of poor attendance. The odds were against the Council in both instances, especially in the case of the Halloween party, where the Housing Office granted permission for a dormitory to hold a party that same evening, competing against CC's party. A lot of hard work and planning went into these parties arid Marcinko, Social Committee chairman, and Stnckland deserve to be men· tioned for their time and effort.

Student Government is responsible for writing the evaluation forms, mailing them out and eventually tabulating and publishing the results. Routine Business Completed Moving on down, Student Government has handled routine business rather successfully this semester. Homecoming this year ran smoothly and was considered a success by all.

There has been no financial report THE HUT at Hotel Steri1g Specializing In: Hoagies And All Kinds Of Sandwiches policy rules and the students, backed by IDC, attempted to modify the present party policy to create a more liveable situation for all. IDC formed a committee to discuss the party policy and came to the decision that the amount of profit permitted and the rules for ticket sales should be reviewed. At present, there is a $10 limit for profits, and tickets cannot be. sold at the door of the party that night. A lot of the IDC members said they thought dorms should be allowed to make bigger profits. President Tom Bazzini stressed that bot h the administration and students have to give in a little before everyone will be satisfied. The IDC officers all seemed to be interested in the business being discussed. Bazzini ·was efficient as president. He was always aware of everything that was going on with IDC, as well as with t he rest of the happenings at Wilkes. Many students may feel that IDC lacks importance on the grounds that it has not gotten done what students would like done. The trouble is that it takes a lot of work for IDC to make progress because it has to answer to the administration. -It is believed that the Inter-Dormitory Council would be much ·more productive if it had more input and interest from the students.

The Film Committee, headed by Steve Kirschner, has done a commendable job presenting a wide variety of films th is semester. Kirschner has also been able to get more use out of the CPA for films rather than using the SUB, which is a task in itself. Handling fund requests from various student organizations is a mjor part of SG's business. With the money SG has to work with, the body handles each request carefully and will only grant money that is needed. SG has been much more consistent this semester in granting requests and thoroughly questions each organization on how the money will be spent. It should be noted , however, that SG needs and deserves more money to work with. The answer does not necessarily lie in raising tuition either. SG - could sponsor fu nd-raising projects which may alleviate the problem.

On the other hand, there are members like Kim Dubosky, Dave Evans, John Sentore, Julie Kent, Rosetta Chiavacci and Daryl Dwyer who offer constructive criticism and new ideas regularly. Then there is Larry Assalita, who is the only member who knows what SG's potentials are, where SG has been and where it is headed. Besides being vice-president, he secretly acts as top advis·or, almost guardian to Holsberger, advisor to SG and SG parliamentarian. It is a shame he is a: senior because he would have made an excellent SG president, This, however, should not detract from Holsberger who is a good pr~sident with some strong leadership characteristics.

STOCK �PAGE 4, THE BEACON, Dt:CE1\1BER 9, 1977 Commuter Council Questioned NO SMOKING On Reasons For Activities - - - -- - - - - - By Tex and Fritz To The Editor: In response to Commuter Council's decision to "reduce the funding of the Christmas, St. Pat's, , and Valentine's Day parties," I would like to say that, maybe it's a good idea. However CC, are you really sure that this is what the majority of the commuter students want? I am a junior, and I have attended the Christmas parties, St. Valentine' s Day parties and block parties at Wilkes College for three years, and at every function I have seen just as many commuter students enjoying themselves at these activities as I have seen dorm students. Alcohol has become a social drink in American life. It brings people closer together, and the only ones hurt by it are those people who do not know how to handle it. I feel that the majority students attending Wilkes College do know what alcohol is all about, and they do not use it for t he soul purpose of getting drunk in a crowded room . Students on t his campus do enjoy getting dressed up once in a while to hear a band, have S-'/me good food and have a few drinks. Why not, most Americans do. At the same time, you are sponsoring an activity for approximately 250 people at a cost of $5 where a bus trip is an activity that maybe 100 people would attend at the price of $8 a t icket. Problems that do arise at activities where alcoholic beverages are served, are caused by a few (a minority). This minority should be dealt with separately, and the majority should not be punished for the actions of this minority. If you still wish to sponsor other activities, please arrange them at times when dorm students can also go, and try to arrange these activities for as many people as possible not just . one or two busloads of individuals. l feel the purpose of a student organization such as SG , IDC, or CC should be to provide act ivities t hat will promote interest for as many students as possible, bot h dorm and commuter. I ask you, CC. Are you really doing this? I am the vice-president of the Inter-Dorm Council, and I would just like t o make clear that these ideas and comments of which I have just stated, have nothing to do with IDC, or any of it' s members. These are my own views as a student of Wilkes College. Respectfully submitted, Gary Toczylowski Dear W.C. Scoopers, , How' s the ~ooping been going lately?

Sha Na Na A 'No No .No According To Concert Fan To The Editor: . As stated in the last issue of The Beacon, a one Mr. Greg Black stated t hat Sha Na Na is being considered for the spring concert that is t o be held on March 15th or 16th. All I have to say is, "You gotta be kiddin' me! " I do admit that this proposed concert will send· the • valleys sale of hair grease and bobby socks skyrocketing, but t hat' s about all the good it will do. I feel what is lacking here, on behalf of Mr. Black, is sophistication; Sha Na Na is a big no no no, unless of course your mentality is that of a 1961 high school student. Just in case Mr. Black is lacking suggestions, rather than good taste, let me be t he first to lend a helping hand. Have you ever heard of F leetwood Mac, Greg, or ma ybe Livingston Taylor and his brother J ames, of whom played at my high school when I was a junior 3 years ago; so don' t fall back on a cash excuse because if my high school of 1200 could afford them a college of 2800 surely can with ease.

Two Wilkes Colle ge debaters, Donna Korba, a sophomore art major from Wilkes.Barre, and David Evans, a senior English majOi" from Kingston , have contributed toward making the Wilke s College Debate Union an outstanding academic organ ization. One of the oldest g-rouos on campus, t he Deba te Union, 'aiong wit h its growing prestige and succe ss, has become an important link in t he Wilkes College chain of tradition. With only half t he season completed t he Wilkes De bate Union has produced 24 wins, a significant start, with t he organization's record for a total year being 30. Ne verthe less, Donna and David make it clear t hat winning, although rewarding, is not everything. David has won a t otal of 18 awards during his four years on the team and is captain of the Wilke s Debate UniQP. At a re ce nt tournament in Bloomsburg he placed fourt h overall in a fie ld of nearly .300 participants. " It is the highe st we have ever had at the colle ge ," remarks Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, assistant profes;;or of English at Wilke s and the te am's coach. Dr. Kinney calls David his " right hand man" and it's easy to se e why! The tall, sandy-haired student has also captured national accolades, winning a n· award at last year's Pi Kappa De.f.a conve ntion at Seattle. Kin ney notes that David is "versatile" as he participates in both debating and forensics, another branch of the organization. He is the "best" Kinney concludes. Sharing the spotlight with David has been Donna, a member of the squad for a year-and-a-half. She particularly concerns he~lf with forensics, or individual events competition.

Indeed, the spoils of their progress do not apply only to their college careers. They incorporated this knowledge into the mainstream of their lives where it has prospered much. Since both are preparing to teach upon graduation from Wilkes, this experience is proving extremely valuable. To David, who is presently student teaching in the Wyoming Valley West School District, "It helps in many different fields. You can make a cla:;sroom entertainment; people learn more when they are e njoying themselves."

He got the Colonels well on their way toward victory when he showed Lehigh's standout lightweight, Steve Bastianelli the lights. The exciting pin came with only one second remaining in the period. Photo by Bob Gaetano ."What's a Snake Pit?" The Colonel wrestlers took their own venom with them when they travelled to Bethlem on Tuel'day to take on the 8th ranked Lehigh Engineers. The Wilkesmen !£Ored perhaps one of the biggest victories in the history of the college's wrestling program when they upset powerful Lehigh by a ~ore of 25-18. The Engineers were the ones who were snake-bitten as they fell prey to the inspired Colonel attack. It was the first time that Wilkes has ever beaten the Eastern powerhouse and they picked a very opportune time to perform the magic. "We are naturally very pleased with such an important win," commented the thrilled coach John Reese. "It would have been a major accomplishment just to beat them, but it took on a special flavor by winning iit front of Lehigh's home fans." Grace Hall on the Lehigh campus is the place where thunder comes rolling down from the stands as the vocal Engineer fans cheer their team on to great heights. But on Tuesday night, they were extremely quiet as the confident Colonels made a little 45th Annual Wrestling Open Scheduled. _For December 28 & 29 A-Cottt)J To a dedicated wrestler, getting his name etched into the record books for accomplishments on the mat is very gratfying and a sense of self-satisfaction is present when that personal goal is achieved. To a wrestling team, nothing is better than gaining recognition by producing a total team effort to capture a championship and share the "fruits of victory." At Wilkes College, the sport of wrestling becomes increasingly popular, year after year, and included in its wrestling fortunes, is the honor of hosting one of the most prestigious wrestling tournaments in the country. The wrestling Colonels will be attempting to finish high in the 45th annual "Wilkes Open" grappling tourney slated for WednJifi}ay and Thursday, Dec. 28 and 29, at th~ &ont""h Franklin Street gymnasium with Dean· :George Ra.lston serving as Tournament director. Many speak of the Wilkes open as being the oldest, most unique tournament in the nation, and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED calls it, "The Rose Bowl of Wre!tling." It all began · in 1932, when a local wrestling coach from Wyoming Seminary, Austin Bishop, initiated the event in cooperation with the local Wilkes-Barre YMCA. Wilkes College took over the sponsoring of the tourney in 1950, along with the gymnasium. At that time it usually attracted 400 or 500 wre_stlers and approximately 35 teams. Attendence has slightly decreased since the Midlands Open Tournament and C. W. Post Tournament in Long Island are held the same days and are forced to compete with it. Over 300 wrestlers from acros;; the nation and 30 teams are expected to be represented this year and a heavy favorite to win its sixth consecutive team championship is Clarion State. Last year, Clarion won the team trophy by accumulating a total of 72 ¼ points and were followed by Rhode Island, 40¼; East Carolina, 35; Navy, 35; North Carolina, 25; and Wilkes, with 24½ points. A close race is expected between the Diversity of ,Rhode Island, Ohio University, E.carolina, N.C. State, Lock Haven, Bloomsburg, and Wilkes for team laurels in 1977. The Colonel grapplers have always been noted for making a strong showing in the tourney, which they are host, and have won six runner-up trophies in the past eight years. The decline however, has been the past two seasons. The last Wilkes wrestler to get his name "Etched" into the record books was Mike Kas,ab, in 1974. Jim Weisenfluh, who was a outstanding Blue and Gold performer who became the college's first Ea!>tern Intercollegiate Wrestling Champion and was voted the "Most Outstanding Wrestler" almost turned the trick in 1975. But he was forced to .settle for a 2nd place, losing in the final round to highly-touted Clarion State wrestler, Wade Schalles. _ In last year's tourney, Jone trophy winners were Bruce Lear, 4th (150) and Dave Gregrow, 3rd (190). This year the Colonels and John Reese hope to regain their high status and do better than last years · disappointing showing. Last winter's outstanding wrestler award was captured by Clarion State's 126 pounder Tom Turnbull. The complete list of winners of the 44th annual tourney include: 118- Bill DePaoli. California State; 126- Tom Turnbull, Clarion State; 134- Paul Osmond, East Carolina; 142- Tom Bauer, Standridge, Clarion State; 167- Rich Rodriguez, N.C. State; 177- Jack Rauer, Ohio University; 190- Jerry White, Penn State; and heavyweight- Bill Bailey, Pitt. ROPIN' EM· Sophomore Ed Johnson looks like he's roping cattle in his 118 pound match against Lehigh on Tuesday. He steered clear of trouble and won an 8-2 decision over Tom Sloand to git the Colonels buckin'. Photo by Bob Gaetano Charlie Brown to increase the Wilkes bulge to 19-6. At 167, Perry Lichtinger was not to be denied as he crushed Bill Anomilo, 15-4. He suffered a knee injury during the bout however, and it was not known at pres;; time whether he will mis;; any matches. .The Colonels had taken six of t he seven matches thus far and had the victory clinched before Lehigh had a chance to counter with their strong wrestlers in the upper weights. Gene Clemons was handled in a major decision by Collin Kilrain, 14-5. Kilrain was recruited heavily by Reese before finally deciding _on Lehigh. At 190, Doug Dre!£her was almost t he · sacrificial lamb. He was overwhelmed by All-World Mark Lieberman and was pinned at 3:34. At heavyweight, Dan House drew with Penn State Invitational Champ Mike Newburn by an 11-11 !£Ore. After the smoke cleared, the Colonels had been victorious in six of ten matches with a draw. It was a tremeendous win for the grapplers. The upse t ran the Wilkes record to 3-0 after wins over York ~· ?lt ,r~ "l(c,fflci$~ thunder of their own. Sophomore Ed Johnson started the ball rolling for Wilkes with an 8-2 decision over Tom Sloand in the 118 pound cla$. Sloand had earlier in the week beaten Eastern champ Gene Mills of Syracuse in the Penn State Invitational. The good vibes started coming on strong when freshman Brian Billig astonished the crowd with a pin over Steve Bastianelli in the 126 cla$. Billig's pin came with only one second remaining at 4:59. ' The injury to Alex Grohol left Joe Napoli in the 134 bracket and he was outmatched in the weight clas;;ification. He is normally at 126 and was pinned by Doug Herrick at 7:26. The Momentum started to !>Wing Wilkes' way for good in the 142 bout, as they clung to their 9-6 lead. Coach Reese felt that if · they could win one of the first three matches they would be in pretty good shape. He was right again! Casper Torte Ila decisioned Greg Cunningham in a nail biter, 2-1. It was a bout that could have gone either way and ·the Colonels proved that they were tough enough to meet the challenge. Mark Densberger completely dominated Dennis Reed in the 150 match, winning a major decsion by an 11-3 count. Co-captain Greg MacLean followed with a 3:1 win over by jeff acornley and a championship in the Binghamton State Invitational Tournament. "We were flat during the York match and we wrestled horribly, despite t.he win," commented Reese. • "On Sunday, we rebounded well with six individual champions in the tourney. But on Tuel'day, it was anybody's gues;; as to whether the team was mentally prepared for Lehigh. That can be a harrowing experience. They were very quiet before the match, but once they got on the mat, they were confident despite the obvious home advantage that Lehigh has." Yesterday, the Colonels faced a very physical &JUad in the 4th ranked team from Oregon State. Coming off a brilliant 28-4 record of last season, the western team is loaded again. NCAA place winners Pat Plourd, Dick Knorr, Marty Ryan, and Howard Harris pace the team. · Concluding the Colonel slate before the break is a double dual match with Navy and Florida. The Middies have two EIWA place winners back this season and the Florida team is an up and coming southern powerhouse. If the Colonels survive the week in good shape, they have a great shot at being ranked nationally by the Amateur Mat News.

The FAF is a dual-purpose form: (1) it will be used by non-Pennsylvania residents to apply for the ~asic Grant; and (2) it must be completed by all students who apply t o t he College for aid through t he Wilkes Scholarship-Grant, Act 101 Grant, Nat ional Direct Student Loan, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant , College Work-Study, Nursing Scholarship and Loan, and Gulf Oil corporation Loan programs. l n the past, forms could be filed as soon as they became available, which was as early as September and October. This year, the forms will not be available until late December and t hey may not be filed before J anuary 1. The effect of this change is that families wiil not be able t o est imate 1977 income. By delaying filing until after J a nuary 1, t he 1977 information submitt ed will be actual figures, taken from either State of Federal Income Tax returns, or earnings statements or from records of non-taxable income. The filing deadline dates have not been changed. PHEAA requires the State Grant form to be received by them before May 1, 1978; t he c·ollege by April 15, 1978 and BE OG by March 15, 1979. This last date is somewhat immaterial because P ennsylvania residents must file t he Composite Form by May 1, 1978, and non- Pe nnsy l v ania r esiden t s should file the F AF by April 15, 1978. I t is, however, beneficial for t he student to complete and mail the application forms as soon after J anuary 1 as possible.

Sacchi, who looks, talks and acts like t he famed actor, will present scenes from such movies as "The Maltese Falcon," "The Cai ne Mutiny" and ·' Casablanca," while also providing a glimpse at Bogey's probable reaction to the 70s. The two- hour presentation has been .given at a nuinber of colleges and universities throughout the United States, and has also ·played to theater audiences. Sacchi, a man in his mid- t hirties, never met Bogart, who died in 1957. He has, however, read every Bogey biography and has seen most of the actor's 75 movies. H is natural resemblence to Bogart has been an obvious asset, and he has portrayed the man in a number of television commericals in addition to doing the theatrical performances. A theater critic who attended a performa nce of ·"Bogey's Back" noted that Sacchi's work "is not an imitation," but a "recreation." Sacchi "talked like Bogey, looked like Bogey, dressed like him, even moved like him. Weird!" Bogey will be back on Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts.

President Robert S. Capin told an audience of 200 community leaders, alumni, and members of the college family last month that funds raised will be directed toward scholarship support, enlarging the endowment fund, and reconstruction of existing college properties. "We believe that these efforts are in keeping with the mission of Wilkes College and will help maintain its character an d quality," noted Capin. Attorney Joseph J. Savitz, chairman of the Board of Truslees, commented that "the trustees view the campaign as ·a vital step forward in keeping with the goals of the college." The keynote speaker at the Leaders' Conference was Attorney Louis H. Pollak, reknown lawyer and dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He stressed that independent col- leges "are critical in a free society," and "are really what a democratic society is all about." The" Alpha" campaign, named for the Greek letter symbolizing leadership and the beginning of efforts, is already a roachin tht $500,000 mark. Attorney Andrew J. Hourigan will head the drive. In addition to providing support to the college scholarship fu nd which aids 80 per cent of Wilkes students, a portion of the funds will be used to maintain a number of the historic buildings on campus, including the reconstrudion of campus property into an adequate student union building. Enlar g-ment of t he endowment I I fund is also a goal of the campaign, and will be undertaken in order to competitively recruit and retain a quality faculty. Capital gifts campaigns are usually conducted every several years and are held in addition to the a nnual_ college campaign. The intensiv~ part of this campaign is expected to take place over the next 18 months, while pledges will be made over the next three years. On Th e Cover SAVITZ: "WE HAVE MADE OUR COM MITMENT TO THE · REGION... " CAPIN: "WE BELIEVE WILKES COLLEGE HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE A LEADE R IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA." POLLAK: "BASICALLY· INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS ARE REALLY WHAT A DEMOCRATI C SOCIETY IS ALL ABOUT." "I wonder what the tea leaves have in store for tonight."

Not only did I do my 12 term papers for the semester, but I read all of may books,underlined all of the chapters, and studied for all my first tests." J."Wow! But didn't you have any fun??" H.(indignantly) " Of course I did-I went through all the latest editions of the encyclopedias and found all of the mistakes the publishers missed. Then (he suddenly breaks into an animated smile) I sent them all to the company!It was such satisfying work-But I must admit,next time 1want something more challenging, that was too easy! Well, Joseph, I had best be on my way, I have a class at twelve o'clock." · J. "But you have a lot of time-it's only half past nine." H."Joseph, I know, but I can go and read another few books!" (not watching where he is going, his briefcase bumps the next table, and a glass of milk goes flying, drenching the occupant of the table) . According to the clock it's only nine a.m. and J oes' first class is at ten a.m. Suddenly the door opens and in walks Sylvia $. ·Spendthrift. Sylvia's life revolves around money ,shopping.clothes, and men,(not necessarily in that order). Sylvia is at Wilkes working harder on her Mrs. than on her B.S.

My vacation was o.k.,But I had to work, so there wasn't much time to get out. What made your vacation so great?" S."Oh Joe-it wasn't a what,it was a who, I mean I met "The Man"~he is absolutely the most wonderful, stunning, intelligent and RICH guy I've ever laid eyes on!!!" J. "A real Mr. Right, huh??" S. "Mr. Right ! He's Mr. Perfect!!- we're not only going out we're engaged! But keep it quiet-Iwant my family to meet him first,and I have to meet his and before everything though I have to find out his last name." J . "Oh yeah, sure whatever you want--by the way what is that tag on your sleeve?" S.(turning a brilliant shade of scarlet) "Gee, it's a ,er, oh, I a price tag? I just got this xerzct7 4t !! sweater for Christmas- Well excuse me- I have to go find a pair of scissors-be right back!!" As Sylvia slithers off in search of scissors, in comes Horatio Fourpointo. Waiting for his thick horn-rimmed specs to de-fog from the cold, he joins Joe at the table. J."Hi Horatio,How are ya?" H.(after setting his bulging briefcase,stack of books, tablets and calculator down bn a vacant chair) "My physiological condition is good, mental, emotional and psychological states are excellent." l!l!lWIJ11 O.(occupant-in an irate tone) "Hey bookworm, look whaddya did!" H ."Now sir, I am truly sorry, but as we all know there is no use lamenting over dissapated lacteal fluid! Joseph, he looks agitated, so I had better go-Goodbye!" J.(shaking his head) "Bye Horatio." Sylvia now slides back to the talbe. J.(laughing) "Find your scissors?" S.(annoyed and embarassed) "Yes!" J. "Syl, what ever happened to the guy y9u were goin' with during finals week- ya know that dormie from Jersey?" S."Oh him! You mean Justin Time. He never comes back till the second week of school, he' 11 be here in time for the first tests. We can't stand each other." The door opens and looking rather disheveled and yawning sleepily is Norman D.O. Nothing. Norman has been at Wilkes for seven years 'now. ~t•s not that he is stupid, but when you only take five to seven credits a semester, it takes awhile! Seeing Joe and Sylvia, he sleepwalks over to the table, collapsing into the chair in a drowsy heap. DOWNTOWN, W.B. ' ,ill 113 S. MAIN ST. .' ROLL STARS / PIXS - TV STARS ETC. CUSTOM SERVICE.

J."Norm, you never got home for Christmas either???" N."No,I fell asleep and forgot to go home... zzz.zzz ... Then as Norman fell back into hibernation, the entire population of the Commons turned, for in walked-The Wilkes Wonder himself-Adonis A. Athelete. As Sylvia began to drool, Joe began to grimace, and everyone else began to choke. With his teeth shining, and wearing his sweater with over 100 stripes on each sleeve and more "W's" than can be believed, he decided to grace Joe and Sylvia with his presence. A.A.A "Hi fans, don't I look great, just had my teeth buffed, hair cut and supersuede jox shoes cleaned." Sylvia(with her eyes glowing, she hasn't blinked since Adonis walked in, gives him a 36 teeth grin- she has 36 teeth, her mouth is big enough for four extra molars)."H H Hi Adonis." J ."Hi Adonis." A.A.A. "Well, whafs new?" J."Nothing." S."Oh, I don't know? Suddenly. I just can't t hink." A.A.A. "Well excuse me, I think I'll go lean on the railing over there." (He jaunts on over to the railing, near the serving counter, the railing where · most of the members of the football team congregate during the day). . S.(not taking her eyes off of Adonis) "Gee, Joe I have to get going, Maybe I'll just go visit Adonis for awhile, maybe he and I can go to a party this weekend." J,"But Sylvia, I thought you were supposed to be engaged to that other guy?" S.' 1No that was last week, I'm not now, Bye!" J."Oh well, see ya, take it easy, I better get going too I have ten minutes to get to Parrish." He leaves and the table is deserted, except for Normanwho is still sleeping.

"Close Encounters of The Third Kind" radiates the kind of vibes destined to making it an immediate, unforgettable success. With close encounters of the first and second kind out of the way, director Steven Spielberg undoubtedly suspects the public is ready at last for the real thing - actual contact with the strange extraterrestrials. · The "Close Encounters" plot is anything but unfamiliar. What takes place involves some average individuals (Roy Neary and Jillian Guiler) in some uncanny events which lead to communication with the aliens. Cable television and, on occasion, the afternoon t)ialing-for-Dollars movie prove this a":';ngement to be a. m~st popular one. But what "Close Encounters does not share with its predecessors is its "believeability." Flash Gordon embarked upon some fantas tic .journeys and Rod Serling narrated countless episodes of way-out space e!1tertainment, but thi_s ~ime the at~e!llpt seems less bizarre. The foreigners who stop _to visit are not_ vicious monsters in any way and appear most willing to communicate as well as cooperate. · Their method of transmission couldn't be any more amusing. A series of musical tones in special sequence comprises the alien "voice," and once in operation prompts Jillian to move with the beat of the "conversation" producing a somewhat comic, yet touching moment. . . . . . The movie is not without faults, yet its ments far outweigh its gaucheries and sli_p-ups. .~he two l;ldventun;rs' trek ~oward a mysterious mountain (Devil s Tower, in Wyoming) constitutes one rather weak episode. Wha ollows, however, inevitably swallows up the mistake. In effect, the undertakings of Roy Neary and his friend Jillian promote the movie's prime directive of friendship and intimate contacts. The long feared UFO phenomenon disappears as the two journey ever closer to their d,estination 1irected by a!1 uncanny psychic motif. Each spectators bravery is as astounding as the climactic arrival of the major space craft. Yet bravery and willingness are the key factors here. And what a_ wor~ of technology! No, not mechanical technology, but that which is abstract and imaginative. · "Close Encount~" prese!1ts perhaps ~ome of t~e movie industry' s most outstand111g special effects. It is truly this creativity woven within the "Close Encounters" plot which makes it incredible. "Close Encounters'' actually entices one to seek new horizons and likewise accept life not akin to our own. Bereft of any battle scenes, it not only advocates peaceful cooperation among men on earth but also extends welcome to other life forms. . The movie's title couldn't be more appropriate in describing the intimate association of imagination, body and soul when faced with the wild notion that we are indeed "not alone!" -- WHAT HAPPENED- THE TRAFFIC .~UST STOPPED ALL OF THE SUDDEN ? .

Almost everyone. The Wilkes College basketball team wished it had been exiled to the Wilkes gym or some basketball camp in Moscow during the Santa ho-ho period. · • · The Colonels, as you might already know, did not play a game or practice for five weeks during the break. Anyone who knows anything about basketball, even Pliylus George ~can realize that its just impossible to survi\f\l a season with such a long mid-season layoff. But if there is a guy who can lead the Colonels to the promised land, and take control of the sunken ship and turn it into the Queen · Mary, it is Coach Rodger Bearde. . . . The Blue and Gold's last game before the break was Jan. 10 in a 63-53 road loss to Susquehanna. Bearde's boys returned to action . last Saturday, after THREE (Count em'), THREE days of practice, and came out ·rusty in a sloppy 52-49 heart-breaking loss to Moravian, which was led by former Wyoming Valley West star Rich Coslett's 12 points. . . · Bearde said the main problem he will have in the next few games and practices will be "getting the team back into a timing and · conditioned shape." He added that Wilkes must get its game back . because the Colonels are still in the Middle Atlantic Conference race, although they show a 0-2 conference slate. To make the playoffs, Wilkes has to be one of the top four teams in the eight-unit league. Scranton and Albright top the race, with everyone else bunch~ together in a. dog-fight for a playoff spot. Semor guard and resident "Rock and Roll" hater, Nick Holgash expresses his opinion that the layoff might help the Blue and Gold · in a weird way. " Without the break, we would be playing games right through the month without ZAP, (John Zapko~. Now, after . the_ b~k, ZAP is bac~, and we can play with him in the lineup, which is a great help, added the hustling guard. Yes, oh how sweet it is to have big ZAP back into the lineup.John Zapko, the Colonels 6-6 junior forward is back and showing signs of that super form he showed a year ago. Zapko had missed the first sev_en games this season du~ to a le~-injury suffered in a pre-season scnmmage. John, who admits to bei.ng only 75 per cent physically, but 150 per cent mentally, scored 20 points and had 11 rebounds in his 1978 debut against Moravian. Most of the Colonels agree, t hat this is the " Second Season" and their out to prove that Wilkes can play ball and their 1-6 record in 1977 was just a nightmare that has disolved. Let us not forget, the Blue and ~old wei:e narro~y defeated by the East's top Pi vision II entry, Philadelphia Textile, 66-64 at the Wilkes gym on a last second shot. Wilkes, no~ 1-7, met a tough Albright squad on the road on Wednesday and will follow with an away gam~ with Juniata on Saturday. After Juniata, the Colonels continue their road show with three MORE away games before returning home to host Albright which beat Scranton a week ago, on Jan. 30, exactly 55 days afte~ their previous home game.
