Questions were being raised as to whether there was a mark-up on the prices of books and for what reason. Also, Student Government wa! investigating the r eturn policy as to how it came about and who implemented the new policy. As r eported in The Beacon last week it seemed SG was not getting straight answers but it seems that it was just a misunderstanding. In speaking with Charles Abate, business manager, he said that the bookstore sells books acording to suggested list prices. This is usually about an increase of 20 per cent in the price over what the bookstore pays the publisher . The money made off the books sold i~ to pay for the salar ies and overhea d of the bookstore which operates on a budget of zero profit. When asked if ther e was a nyway the price of books could be less than the suggested list price but above the cost of the book, Abate said " there is no way of cutting prices unless the College subsidizes the bookstore and we have no room to subsidi ze." He also pointed _out that many colleges do not observe the suggested list prices and charge more. " We have never sold a book above the suggested list pri/:e." reported Abate. The Return Policy In 1976 our book return policy, according to Miss Mildr ed Gittens, manager of the bookstore, was that any book could be r eturned within the first two weeks with a receipt ·and the Mild controversy centered around the college bookstore concerning the never-ending rise in book prices and the return policy, . After conducting a survey with other area colleges, the return policy has b~en revised. books could not be ma rked. F rom Abate' s office, a survey was conducted with other area colleges in J a nua ry, 19TI concerning their book return policies which a re as follows: Marywood College- Students are given up to two weeks of the semester for a cash refund on books. The student must show a receipt with a slip indicating dropping from ' a course or that the course was cancelled. University of Scranton- Books can be returned within ten days accompanied by a drop slip or the course must be cancelled. King's College- Students have two weeks to return their books for a cash refu nd. A receipt is needed along witp a dr op slip or the course has to be ca ncelled. Luzerne County Community College- Three weeks is the limit to return books if they show a drop slip or that the course was cancelled. College Misercordia - Students can only return books if they drop the course, the course was ca ncelled or the book defective. From this survey Abate formula ted the new 'policy within the guidelines set by the other colleges. The policy now r eads that students can return books within three weeks as long as the student dropped the course or the course was cancelled. Abate reasoned for these stringe nt return policies by stating that the "publishers are tightening up." He said that at one time th e bookstore could retu r 11 any amount of books to the publisher for credit. However, these da ys, there is a time limit involved in returning books along with how many you can return. If'students end up with a book that they simply don't need for a wide variety of reasons there is always the Student Government Used Bookstore which oper a~es at the beginning of each semester and is great place to save money. Jim Edwards Salmonellosis Culp~it Repol'ted to -1,e Celery . Contaminated celery is reported to be responsible for the out- . break of some 29 'salmonellosis cases , last spring. This was a nnounced last week in a report by Dr. John Turner, head of the Kirby Health Center . Turner told The Beacon that the State Department of Health investigated the problem, and, while it is not 100 per cent sure, it is " quite certain" that the bacteria originated in California .celery. He stated that celery is not a usual food in which :SalmoneHa can be found, as investigators normally turn to high-protein foods, to which seven out of ten problems can be traced. According to Turner, the Department of Health's theory is that the ·celery was fertilized in California with chicken manure. After heavy rainfa ll caused flooding and mud-slides, contamination of ,_ the ra w celery resulted, leading _to the _presence of the bacteria. The celery was then shipped to the East coast, where part of it ended up in various colleges in this and neighboring states where outbreaks of the illness also occured. ' Turner commented that this situation involving contaminated celer y was very unusual, and emphasized that the problem " had nothing to do with the food handling operation at Wilkes " or with the food supplier, M.W. Wood. ' Wi_lkes Food Service Director William Denion reported that he obtams c_elery from both local and out-of-town sources, and could not say Just where the contaminated celery was purchased. He also remarked that the situation was "a real fluke--just one of those things that happen." ffllma Jlur1t ...

White card workers from the Act 101 pr ogram would run the baby-sitting service all day and night and each family would be charged five dollars a week. Ralston said that this was a good idea but not something new to the campus. A day care center was in operation during the 1950' s but eventually fa ded out.

The six dorms were Webster, Dirkson, Catlin, Susquehannock, Grissom , and Hollenback. Except for one incident, in which a window was smashed. by a couple of local high school students, Toczylowski com· mented that "it went over really well" citing good security, plenty of beer, and a good turnout as reasons why. Some suggestions brought up by the me members about the party were that the food could have been better distributed. Also discussed was the fact that a · good portion of the student body was unable to attend the party due to capacity problems. A suggestion was made by an IDC representative to have a party in both the SUB and the Commons simultaneously, thus expanding the crowd. As of now this idea is in its planning stages by the senior class, according to Toczylowski. The food and band for the par ty cost IDC $550. The beer and other refreshments' expense was not available at the time of the meeting. The cost of the bash brought up the issue of how much money a dorm should be allowed to ! make as a result of parties. Currently, the profit limit is al 25 dollars. Any surplus of this sum is supposedly to go to an IDC special fund to be used to aid dorms in throwing parties. However, this, according to Toczylowski has not been enforced. A suggestion was made to drop the profit limit and in a subsequent vote, the IDC members tallied a 13 to 8 vote favoring no limit. Among the reasons for want- · ing a limit is controlling the possibility of the abuse of profit by the dorms." This "abuse" was described by Joe Marchetti, housing director, as the opening of private dorm baµk accounts in which the College can have no control over. Other suggestions concerning dorm profits were to make a "limit on how much to sell tickets for." The idea behind this is to see to it that the expenses of the party coincide with the cost and profit limit. Also in mind here is to keep the price of tickets as low as possible, because as one member stated, "I can't afford all these parties." The administation's view on dorm profits is that a limit should be set. " Personally, I think there has to be a limit," Marchetti said, stating that he believed the parties primary reason for existance should be for social reasons and not dorm finances. A profit committee was formed last night at the conclusion of the meeting. 'rhose dorms interested in having a party must see Dean Arthur Hoover to fill in a "detailed form" discussing among other things, expense and profit. Other business included the election of Judy Wing as corresponding secretary for IDC. A psychology major from New York, her job will be to help bring a "better communication between colleges and councils." She will be instrumental in the planning of a proposed Spring "field day" involving colleges from all over Pennsylvania. The vote by the council was 19 for Judy and 10 for Steve Elko, the other nominee. In other business, the confusion brought on by the "cold meat lunch" last week was also a topic of discussion. It seems there was a misunderstanding between me and M. W. Wood, the food supplier, on the frequency of such a meal. IDC believed the lunch meat would be out everyday. However, an M. W. Wood representative stated that the program was . being used as a "monotany breaker" of the usual lunchtime meals. Since the College cafeteria budget cannot handle the expense. Also, it was stated that starting a week from Sunday and continuing all year on the last Sun- . Ste day of each month, a steak dinner will be served. The activities' committee reported that on Sunday, Oct. l; an arts and crafts workshop will take place. Among the activities will be the sale of flowers, popcorn, cotten candy, and Greek food. For dorms interested in preparing any dishes, me will fund the ingredients. New,Dorm Linen _Service EstablishedThis Year When the -semester began a few weeks ago returning residents were relieved to discover that the old linen service had been set to the laundry. Surely several returning students , thought they had walked into the wrong rooin in the basem ent of Pickering Hall. Instead of returning to the confused, diorganized system to which students were used to complaining a bout, the students were introduced to a new linen system, which was the product of many hours of work over the summer months. . The new system was devised after many complaints were received about the old system. \fr. William Penick, the district manager of Sanitary Leasing fiic . .which operates the linen service, suggested 1 that a system being .used sikcessfully at Bloomsburg State College be tried. After being sold on the idea, Joe Marchetti and Jeanne Conway of the · housing office were faced with the task of selling the system to the administration. . The linen room saw some changes as the new system was set up. Locker.s for _each student were installed along with numbers and keys and brand new linen was supplied. The new , system makes it possible for students to make linen exchanges at any time of the day. · . - , -~ .,~ BookAad · :Record Mart'. 1-88.

Tony Lillis OOKS* RECORDS & T The cost of the service is covered by the room and board fee. Each resident student receives the use of two sheets, one pillow case, and three bath towels. Marchetti indicated that so far all reactions of the students have been positive. Greg Tomcho, student director of assistants ha~ also commented that the new system is better. But, perhaps Mr. William Penick, the representative of , the linen service, put it best when he said, "no more standing around and picking your nose."

MANUSCRIPT REUIEW A unique wood-cut print display is currenty on exhibit at Sordoni Art Gallery, and will run until October 8. If you find color and texture in art exciting, this show is not to be missed. The work is by Joseph Domjan, an internationally-regarded master. Domjan mixes his own pigment to create a wide range of exquisite color. Of particular interest in this aspect of his work is "Az~re Cloud," ~n which a vibrant red peacock is displayed agamst a c.ontrasting background of varying hues of blue. The peacock, or phoenix, is of special significance to Domjan. He feels that the color range of the bird fulfills his concern to "nurture ( color) through a modern artistic idiom without trying to be imitative or nost;i.Igic." Domjan's work requires great skill and a ·time-consuming concentration on deta!l. His subject matter- includes not only· the peaC?ck, ~ut ?ther obJect:, from the natural world as well as figures of h1stor1cal mterest. Prmts such as "Split Moon,' '- "Deep Poppy" and "Attila" provide a variety of aestheic beauty. . .The depth of imagery which Domjan reaches provides provocat10n for th?ught.

The purpose is to find out what makes them go. Why they' re doing what they're doing. Why you're reading about them, rather than them reading about you. Steve Kirshner is the president of Student Government. He is a senior biology major with med school in his future. Those a r e the basics. Steve wa s heavily into playing doctor as a kid. He decided to ma ke a career of it. So, upon gr a duatio n frorri Levittown High Sc hool, he enrolled as a Wilkes-Ha hnema nn candidate. Now we a ll know tha t being a Ha hnemann ca ndida te requires a n a lm ost fa natica l dedication to hard work a nd study. It also puts a serious dent in the socia l life. Next time you go"'\o a midweek beer bas h, tr y to find a drunken Ha hnema nn candidate in the cr owd. · Well , Steve dec ided that " there's more to college than staying in the room and studying, " so he got involved in a few extr a-c urricular activities. A few. He s tarted off by being elected freshman class representative and serving as chairma n for the March-of-Dimes Tex&F walk-a-thon. Still, Steve finished his firs t semester sporting a 3.8 avera ge. But lurking around the corner was second semester chemistry taught by the " legendary" Dr. Faut. Ah yes, many are ca lled but few are chosen. Steve' s cum " fell" to 3.24. In his sophomore year, Steve wa s re-elected as class rep. Now he began to extend himself further, becoming squad leader for the emergency alert team, instructing CPR, and chairing Human Services Committee. So now it wa s time for Steve to apply for admission to Hahnemann Medical School. Once again, "many are called." :AYAt UflOA~IHAYH :IS:1:IH~ YNnJ.

It has come to our attention that the Phoebe population at Wilkes College is growing in leaps and bounds. This is a great concern throughout the c·a mpus, as well as in the community. What is a phoebe? We're glad you asked. phoebe-I. a feeble-minded person, 2. can be used in place of jerk, arse-hole, whip, squirrel, weirdo, etc. Since we don't know the exact count, of phoebes at W.C., we would like everyone to participate in a survey. It is commonly referred to as a P.AT.--Phoebe Aptitude Test--used by most of the prestigious institutions in America. By answering these simple questions, · we will be able to calculate the percentage of phoebes on campus and therefore be able to take action accordingly.

Now for .those of you who don't know us, we are Tex and .Fritz. "Hello!" And for the second straight year we will be bringing you the latest, and we mean latest, scoops on the W.C. scene. We've said it many times, but just to Jet the new-comers get in on the scene, we'll say it again--"If you' ve got poop to scoop, we'll scoop it!" Let us begin-Household hints for freshmen eating in the caf-1. If the food is moving, ie., crawling, squirming or running . ( yes, it sometimes runs)--whack it a couple of times with your fork. The food should quiet down enough as to make it easier to get in your mouth. 2. When you hear a certain "Freddy" yelling, " Very tasty, very tasty," ignore him! He' s a chronic liar and has _had the condition for years. 3. It is sometimes helpful to bring Nair to the caf when chicken is being served. Rumor has it the caf chicken has more hair on it than does a certain housing director we all know and love. · HAPPY EATING, FROSH! Steve was not a ccepted. But it wasn't the decision that bothered him as mu'ch as the reason for it. Steve was told that during his interview he "appeared nervous," that "nervousness leads to tension," a nd " tension is not a good r isk in medical school." One understands the frustration Steve must have been feeling. A frustration he no doubt shared with scores of other applicants. "I just accepted it," he said," and geared up for another try in two years." . Steve plans to reapply to Hahnemann. He doesn't give up easily. Steve's ability to withstand frustration will be a necessary chara cteristic if he is to be successful as Student Government president. He wants to "tie the students and administration together ." That could frustrate a nybody. Steve sees the Student Governm ent as an "organized group of students that the administr ator s will listen to." The big projec t for this year's council will be investigating the benefits of having professors serve as advisors. Also planned is an improved system for teacher evaluation. Steve feels that the Student Government is powerful enough at Wilkes to effect change. He points to the .5 system, a student government project, as an example. "But," said Steve, "we're open and willing to listen to suggestions. Two Thousand students have .more ideas than Zl." So,, once again we find a stu. dent-run organization seeking student involvement. "We can't work alone," he said. But knowing Steve, if all else fails, he'll try it anyway. Ed Van Buren Jr. Olt?WOJ f . .- iii gang! - is a tradition -~ ------- --, Males only: . 7.

The above quote appeared in an internal evaluation report from the State Bureau of Equal Educational Opportunity ( B.E.E .O.( · and was made in reference to the Wilkes College Act 101 Operation Phoenix Program. A state evaluator visited Wilkes in March to determine the degree of compliance Operation Phoenix exhibits relative to guidelines and program expenditures. The official report, which was released la te in August, praises the program highly, along with the director, Dr. J. George Siles, and the Staff ( Joan McGuiness, Rosemary Marchese and Mary Kane) . ... "There appears to be a sincere effort by the administration to develop a long-term quality program ." Perhaps this statement (also extracted from the evaluation report) explains the dramatic effect the Act 101 Program has had at Wilkes College. During its two year existence at the college, Operation Phoenix has rapidly expanded from 30 students ( HY76) to 120 students ( present enrollment) . Thus, in. two years the Act 101 students have become approximately six percent of the Wilkes College population. . Coreen Milazzo, Act 101 tutor, is pictured above with Act 101 student Joe McCree. Mary Kane, Act 101 Tutor Coordinator, looks on. - Passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1976, the program was initiated to assist ' underprepared persons to work toward a college degree, and was designed specifically to serve the student's needs. Under the leadership of Conrad Jones, director of B.E.E.O., Herbert Bickford at at the state level, and with the efforts of the Wilkes College faculty and administration, the ActJ0l Program has become an integral part of the Wilkes College life. Reenie Corbett Wh en it's who, what, when or where that you need to know, the Wilkes College Connection can tell you. Just pick up the phoqe and dial t 717) 826-1135 to get the latest scoop on such college events as the Concert and Lecture Series, art exhibits, sports and community-related activities. Parents, alumni and interested a rea residents, along with students, use the 24-hour service. A three minute recorded message lets them know up-to-da te information regarding tim es and locations of events, as well as results from the manv athletic contests. Operation of the service began in February 1977 with equipment purchased th.rough a grant by an anonymous benefactor of the College. The sys- tern is modeled after sports information lines already in use at Lehigh a_nd West Point. · Theaters and businesses have also been using these information lines for years. ----NOTICE---College IDs are required for . admission to home intercollegiate athletic events. This year, for the first time, IDs · must be presented to the person on duty at the gym when the facility is open for student recreation during the evening and weekend hours. This requirement has been made because of the increasing num her of non-Wilkes students who have been using the gym . George Pawlush, public relations director, is very optimistic a bout the service, because as he said,"lts potential is unlimited. We are striving for the 'Wilk% College Connection' to be an all-purpose public relations vehicle for our' many academic, fine arts and community-r~!ated activities at the College. So far, the · connection is proving to be just that. Last Ma y, when storms threatened to move the outdoor commenc ement exercises into the gym , the line was used to keep students and parents informed a s to the status of the cerem oni es. Th e connection averages a bout 50 calls a day. During the E astern Wrestling Tourname nt at Syracuse, N.Y. last yea r, the line received about 400 ca lls over the weekend, ecording its busiest 36-hour period. · Despite its success, the public seems to be relatively unfamiliar with the connection. Business cards with the phone number have been distributed throughout campus · and the number. will also appear in the upcoming telephone book. Once again, the number is (717) 826-1135. So, if informa\ - --- I There's a new club on campus, cal led Chi Alpha . The cl ub, which takes its na me from · "christou a postoloi," meaning "Christ's sent ones," is an inte rnational Christian ministr~ to college and universit-)'.: campuses a nd is within the mainstream of Pentecostal ( charismatic) doctrine. The club, compr ised of men and women r epr esenting all aspects of college life, will seek to present to Wilkes a comm unity of worship, fellowship, disc ipleshi p a nd witness.

Although the score was not very promising for the Colonelettes, Meyers mentioned that she learned a lot about who could play where, and ..,some ossible osition chan es what STAR-MAKER: Shown above is new head soccer coach Kurt Hagman, who has instilled in his team a wimµng attitude. The soccer Colonels are 1-0 on the season and will play home on Saturday at Ralston Field. . Hagman, along with chief assistant Ernesto Lopez, are the main men for the Wilkes hooters.

Coach Meyers was also pleased about the experience gained by some of the rookie girls, and feels it could be a significant addition to the 1978 field hockey team. Another scrimmage was held last Saturday with· the lady Colonels taking on the alumni in an exhibition. The alumni turnout was the best ever, as 14-old faces came back to the . Ralston Field for hockey. The 1978 edition edged the old-timers 2-1 as Pam Snyder and Patty Paraventi knotched goals. The lone goal for the alumni came from Sue Funke, a 1976 graduate. Coach Meyers commented that the defense played very well and is coming along better than expected. The greatest bright spot for the Wilkes hockey team was the play of soph Karen "Wendy" Worlinski. Karen, the queen of the second floor of Parrish Hall, is playing fullback for the team · after starting at left-half last season. The reason for the joy of Mrs. Meyers about Karen's ·success, is that she replaces Jean Johnson, (now · Mrs. Paul Jordan). Jean started at full-back the last four years and did an excellent job for Wilkes. With Karen playing so well, the problem of losing Jean might be over. In the alumni scrimmage, Coach Meyers used three goalies and she is still pondering who will be the starter when the regular season open. The Colonelettes open their 1978 season at Ralston Field on Sa I urday with Albright. · Simon Kazinetz -.JDRJPRIPRIPRIPR ~ IP RIPRIPRJPRIPRIB ~ ; ~ ~ ~ THE-GREAT-RIP-OFF! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- THIS COUPON PERMITS BEARER TO PURCHASE ,;... ;g~ ""d ANY ClHE.

Upsala is an MAC opponent, while Lock Haven is a non-conference, non-league foe. The Colonelettes faced powerful Lock Haven in the season's opener, and _ suffered a "severe case of nerves," as Coach Sandra B109mberg termed it. A relatively inexperienced, rebuilding team ; its members were a fittle short in the self-confidence department, but quickly learned that the world doesn't end if you lose. Losing was the word for the day, a.s Wilkes dropped all seven matches, winning only a few games during the process. · But the women also learned some valuable lessons in . mental preparation and gained needed playing experience. . . The score for the next match agairi~t Upsala two days later . seems to point to a dramatic improvement, as the Blue and Gold l ost a close 5-4 battle. There weren't many cases of the jitters this time, and · individual scores were better, although competition was characterized by errors by both teams. . However, the match, forced indoors by rain, wasn't as close as the official score . indicated. Upsala built up a 5-1 lead by winning three double .matches and two of the bottom three singles, and then forfeited first, second and third singles as those players were warming up on the court. Wilkes was credited with those wins, raising the score to 5-4. • Karen Polumski won sixth singles 6-1,6-1, but the most exciting match was in second doubles, as Cindy Yagloski and Sandy May took the first set to a tie-brea ker before -losing 7-6.

An away match with Bucknell was scheduled for Monday, but was postponed to next Wednesday due to rain. The team appears to be stable in terms of remaining players, as 14 are regular team members. At this point, the placements are as follows: First singles-Reenie Corbett, a senior ·who played fourth and fifth last year, is a four-year player. Her hitting has been stronger this year, and when her net play mat.ches her ground strokes, she should be ready for a really fine year. Second singles-Judy Bellas was a member of last year's first doubles team, and has since improved to the point where she has moved into singles competition. Third singles-Rose McMahon, a junior, was Rose' s doubles partner and has also entered lone competition.

Thus, six players, who bads devoted hours ,.to practice and mental preparation for the matches, were not allowed to play. Apparently, the Upsala coach felt that a caf dinner was more important than allowing the top competitors to play and finish the match. We think the excuse was pretty poor. This action won't hurt Upsala a.s a team, since it took home the MAC win. But it can very well harm individual players, since they must add an undeserved loss to their records, and may suffer the consequences come tournament time. The Wilkes players who "won" these matches can't feel much satisfaction either. We think that"players on both teams were the victims of an injustice, and we wonder--would Upsala have 1tcted the same had they been losing?

Maintenance, Alcohol Discussed be finished include the replacement of furniture in residence halls, new carpeting and cleaned curtains in New Mens Dorm ( to be done during semester break), painted fire escapes and more efficient boilers for heating the buildings. Due to the recent problems with maintenance men not doing these jobs, IDC is looking into the possibility . of hiring students on a part-time basis to perform such maintenance duties as carpentry, gardening and painting. Previous exper- "It's the biggest problem on campus," stated President Gary Toczylowski at Sunday · night's IDC meeting. He was referring to what he termed a lack of maintenance and upkeep of the grounds and buildings at the College. Problems with raingutters, water-sogged floors and broken door locks have prompted IDC to apply pressure in order to attempt to remedy 'the situation. According to Toczylowski, checklist items "promised" to ience would, of course, be nee~ essary. Alcohol Issue Raised The alcohol committee met la t Tuesday with Dean Ralston to discuss reasons for a slight change in the party policy. Anticipating that students "are gonna get fed up" with SUB and Commons parties, committee members pushed for the allowance of quarter kegs in the dormitories under conditions -that would allow no more than one quarter pe! hall on ll.ny mind. It seems a gap has risen over the years between the two neighboring colleges, which has resulted in somewhat of a riyalry. Dean Ralston, IDC and King's students' want to · try to bridge that gap. Ideas for this inter-college party include a Baverian festival or an Oktoberfest. However, this event, due to its complexity, may be put off until the spring. Plans for the immediate future include the possibility of a Wilkes-King's dance to be held here. However, legal questions need to be studied before this can happen. given night and that the RA. dorm residents and Housing Director approve of it at least 24 hours in advance. Also the person who requests permission must be at least 21 years of age. Committee members felt that anything more than a quarter would constitute a "party." This idea, if adopted, would be for private parties only. Two factors the committee is relying on to foster this proposal are that beer by the quarter is not only cheaper, but also makes for .Jess bottles and cans to be littered around campus. Ideas for Halioween activities were also points of ·.concern. A possible inter-dorm "Jack O' Lantern" contest, in which the lanterns would be displayed at the annual Halloween party, was one idea. A haunted house was another. Also mentioned was the possibility of an "all-college event" which would be held offcam pus. This event would be held with King's College in Th iS Ye ar 'S Fa CU Ity EV aIUat iOn S ~,,-0_-,-••-,-,o■•-~ To be Con.ducted in Classes •orllCQuee■ Set for Today The evaluation of the faculty by students will be conducted this semester in the classroom as opposed to mailing the forms to students as done last year. This was announced at the Student Government meeting Monday night by Steve Kirshner, SG president. Letters are currently being written and sent to the faculty explaining what SG's intentions are. A date will be set up by the professor for a SG repre, sentative to come into the classroom and have the forms completed. This will yield a much greater participation in the evaluation from students and therefore be more meaningful. Last year's participation in the evaluation was a bout 20 percent. A professor may refuse to have the evaluation conducted during class time but students of these professors will have their forms mailed to them. The evaluation form itself has been revised to what most SG representatives agree is a vast improvement. There are fewer questi_ons and they are Ho•eco•lng Dlsplay ■ules • Catalogued Homecoming displays by dorms, clubs, classes and organizations will again be part of the annual event, Oct. 13-15. .\ccording to Homecoming Chairperson, Sharon Manganiello, displays are to be set up on Friday Oct. 13th by 4: 3> p.m. as judging will begin shortly thereafter.

A very gutsy person. Stella, a graduate of Bishop Hoban High School, will receive her fine arts degree from Wilkes at the end of this year. Her degree will be accompanied by a background in both biology and chemistry. ; 'I've been in as much as I could since I came here," said Stella. Stella, you must understand, is part of a · rare and vanishing breed here at Wilkes.

After the stickers were for things like a wine and · awarded, she saw to it that cheese arty or a trip to New those who didn't get stickers were contacted and made aware of the possible carpools in their area. Lest someone think that those with stickers had pulled some strings, Stella abolished any form of special consideration which may have 'been a practice. No Parking Sticker To do so, she had to reject the requests made by various faculty and staff members for special consideration for the people working for them. She even discontinued the practice of awarding parking spaces to CC members, including herself. "I don't have a parking sticker," she said. "You'll find my car in the Park and Lock." Stella questions the fact that IDC was given more parking spaces than CC, saying, "Commuters have to travel. There's no way around it. Resident students, they're here." Stella was extremely anxious for .me to relay the importance of comm uni cation between commuters and the council. "That's what we're here for," she said. She feels that students must have an interest in what goes on, on cam pus. Posting the bulletin board in the Commons is a CC effort to bridge the communication gap. ''We'll go to them." "We'll Do It" Stella stressed the importance of students voicing their requests. "If it's feasible, we'll do it," she said, pointing to the addition of the jukebox to the Commons as an example. Also, she talked about the musical . variety soon to be installed in the box, another student request. , It does seem that one of the problems with the somewhat-suffering social life at Wilkes is related to the fact that there seems to be so much distance between commuters and the college. This makes for a situation which is reminiscent of high school, where school was from 8 a.m . til 3 p.m. , and forgotten at 3: 01. Stella Korpusik has been successful in dealing with the parking situation. Now she seems ready for even more challenges. She IS gutsy.

The Colonelet.tes, who played with a lot of spirit, continued to attack their opponents th;ough_out the contes~. On _Thursday, Wilkes opened the year with a 2-0 wm over the Umvers1ty of Scranton. Coach Meyers said that "I luh U" was very much improved and that the ball moved at a fast pace for the first five to ten minutes of action, before -at 12: 05 ~Pni~r co:captain Julie ~errick passed to sophomore Patty Para'. venll for the women's first goal of the season. Paraventi was in her first collegiate contest as a starter, after working hard during thP off season on what .Coach Meyers refers to as "Toughness." Th e second goal was scored by Kerrick, on an assist from ParaVl'nti. Wil~es completely dominated the game, as shown by the differenee in shots on goal. Wilkes had 26, as compared to nine for the Royalettes. Helen Gorgas, a freshman started at center-half, Terri Burak at left-half, and Paraventi at left-inside, which showed that th_t> Colonelette~ were playing with inexperience individuals, who will hopefully pick up some experience in the early contests. Karen Worhnsky moved from left-half to sweep and Kerrick went from right-inner to left-wing. The combo of Jerry Ann Smith and Pam Snyder did a fine job, intercepting passes and advancing the offensive attack for Wilkes. On Saturday i_n Parent's D~y, the Colonelettes downed Albright 7-1 at Ralston Field. The scormg went as follows: Marie Elko - two goals , ~ary Jo Frail - one goal, Patti Paraventi - one goal, Jerry Ann Sm.1th - one goal, and Pam Snyder - two goals. Assists were credited_ to !,he following: Frail - three, Elko - three, and Snyder one. This time, like the last, the ladies dominated the shots on goa l, with a 46 to 11 margin. , Coach Meyers was very impressed with the women's perfo;m. a nce.

Surely, everyone has heard,"It's not whether you win or lose, but its how you play the game." Everyone who was lucky enough to watch the Wilkes Gollege soccer team in action last Saturday against Bloomsburg St. probably understands and appreciates that quote much better. Although the soccer Colonels dropped a heartbreaking 4-3 decision to the Huskies, the hometowners won a moral vietory for their coaches, fans and most of all- themselves. It's been a long time since Wilkes has held it5 own against. soccer powerhouses such as Bloomsburg, which won the Pennsylvania's Eastern Conference Championship last year, a nd recently defeated Middle At !antic Conference Champion, Scranton University 2-1. Under the guidance of two excellent coaches, Hagman and Lopez and a team ready to give 100 per cent, the Blue and -Gold hooters have already taken two giant strides forward this season. After completing a 3-10 year in 1977, ·the renovated 1978 edition became a competitor with its 3-0 victory over Upsala last week. Recently the hooters became a contender with its fine showing against Bloomsburg this past season. Another achievement based on Saturday's super-sh(?wing by the Colonels was the increased fan attendance and interest. . The thrills of each time the Colonels hit the nets with a goal, made a fine play, or a mistake, triggered the emotions of most on- lookers... The Wilkes 11 played to a 1-1 deadlock with Bloomsburg during a hard-fought first half, and many fine defensive plays were displayed by both squads. Goalkeeper Cliff Brautigan had his hands full and recorded alot of diving saves throughout the con test. Nick Golowich, Kelly Nose worthy and Nicholas Pitsis contributed awesome defense. Killer Kelly, from Freedom Pa. was superb in his field marshall posftion and disappointed the adversary on many occasions. The back and forth shifting of the score kept everyone on- the edges of their seats. After the Bloomsburg team s cored the initial tally, 35 minutes into the ' first half, Wilkes retaliated with senior co-captain Mario Apuzzo finding the range six minutes later on a cross pass from sophomore Dung Chi Duong, known as the one and only- Zoomy. Junior Irving Pyun hit Zoom with a pass for the second Colone! goal ~ minutes into the second half to tie the score at 2-2. The psyched-up Blue and Gold worked real hard and moAaged to take a 3-2 lead whm Irv Pyun scored and Zoomy picked up the assist. The N"rried visitors were able to \le '<$-e score however, with .10 m;n, :-,'<$,~ remaining. The score spark, "•°' ~ enough enthusiasm among tht visitors to allow them to set-up alot of shots near the goal and eventually took the advantage. The Colonel hooters gave it all they had and hopes didn't fall until the final buzzer. If there is such a thing as losing GOOD, the hornet.owners did just that Saturday. Also registering fine defensive games were ~ophoi:nore Charles Issacs, jun10r Nie holas Pitsis and freshmen Carlos Ribiero and Mike Karns. .Co-captain Mark Ritter got back in action Saturday after missing last week's opener due to back injury. Warren Bush, freshman Mark LePore and Rit· ter swarmed the Husky offense on many second half offensive threats. The Wilkesmen were slated to meet Muhlenberg yesterday at the Mules home field. Last season the Maroon and Grey handed the Blue and Gold a 6-1 setback but if Wilkes can continue its fantastic teamwork, the story should be different, despite the home field advantage. Wilkes remains on the road with Lycoming Saturday for a 10: 30 match-up at Williamsport.

"He couldn't really disagree with anything we stated," he said, adding that a meeting will be scheduled this week between the committee and all the deans to discuss the issue fu~ther and possibly to vote on this controversial matter. In addition to the initial conditions set by the committee that would allow no more than one quarter per hall on any given night, a restriction 0£ 15 persons to a party was included. Toczlowski ventured to say, however, that special consideration could probably be given in order to throw a dorm party for more than 15 people. One other new point stated by the alcohol committee members was that all alcohol must stay in the room it is served, with the sponsor present. The remaining points of this proposal include registering the party with the housing director 24 hours in advance and after approval has been given by the RA and fellow dorm mem hers. The person who registers must be 21 and accept full responsibility for any mishaps. Also to be discussed at the meeting is the matter of dorm profits on parties. It is IDC's view that as long as tickets are reasonably priced and there are no major complaints; there should not be a profit limit. Fighting, vandalism and stealing which occured last Saturday night was attributed to the Molson Party in the SUB. Among the incidents which took place was a smashed window in Roosevelt Hall, a bulletin board glass case broken, the theft of a $70 pair of glasses, a coat and a $30 beer ' tap, not to mention incidents of The 16th annual Parents' Day student fighting.

Along with this news Black stated that the concert situation "isn't lookinE, too healthy." He explained that the promoter SG has been conducting business with for the past two years "doesn't seem interested in supplying shows for us anymore." SG will most likely have to buy concert acts on their own which adds the risk of loosing -money on a concert due to poor ticket sales. At present, there is a cha nce SG could line up a "Jesse Collin Young and Jesse Winchester" concert for early December. Black stated that SG could break even or loose up to $2,000. Some discussion against the chance of loosing money was held but a vote of confidence was given to Black to further look into the concert.

HOMECOMINt GUEENf WHO WON'T ~ ,. BE , 01NGV To all students: , The party policy ha s presented a problem in organizing social functions, because of the limited spa ce to hold parties, and beca use of the need for non-alcohol events. Alcohol related events must be altered, and non-alcoholic events must increase. It is amazing how the majority of Wilkes students are like ma gnets pulled to parties over other events. This has been proven by a couple of examples; 1) Last yea r s Halloween party in the gym was not a smashing success. 2) Last weeks Square Dance was lacking people, beca use of a party. Everyone must realize that the alcohol law is enfor ced and we must abide by it. This is not to say, parties should be cancelled. The point I am trying to make is this; one can still have fun without being loaded. I have been confronted by people who have asked for events that we unfortunately are not capable of providing; We don't have the funding or the availability of holding events like that of Federally funded sc hools. Believe it or not, those who plan activities do the best job possible. Instead of complaining, all meetings are open to every student to voice their op• inion. IDC, CC, and the Social PoorSoclal sc•edullng Criticised To the Editor: As a member of the Executive Council of the Sophomore class I feel t:ompelled to speak 0ut against the policy or lack of policy for the scheduling of social events. On Saturday, September 30, 1!178 the Sophomore Class sponsored an all-campus Square Dance at the expense of $240.00. This event was attended by a grand total of fifty people. I feel the poor attendance for this event was due directly to the fact that a party was sponsored for the same evening. I do not deny the dorms, clubs or other classes the right to have a party but I do feel that the scheduling of these parties could have been done more effectively. The Square Dance ~ad been on the social calendar since April and another event should not have been slotted for the same night. Permission for the party should have been given for Friday night or not at all. The Sophomore Class was not looking to make a profit on this event and we were sadly disappointed that the time and efforts of many people were wasted. In the future I hope that permission for parties will not be grant~d for the same night as other social events. It is time that the scheduling policy be am ended so that everyone who wishes may attend any and all social events. Donna Pioppi Class of '81 Committee of Student Government are trying very hard to provide activities that all students will appreciate and enjoy. Without the cooperation of the student body, nothing positive can be accomplished. Because Wilkes is a small school, the students have a unique opportunity to run a good part of the school. We should take advantage of this good fortune. This is your school, and to prove we are worth something, as a whole, we all have to help. Not only do the Deans, Housing Office, and place of function need to be notified of an upcoming event, but most importantly the Social Comm'ittee must be notified if every event is expected to be successful. Thank you, Marla Brodsky Social Committee Co-chairman NOTICE Nominations for the Class of '82 Student Government repre, sentatives will be held Thursday, Oct. 12, in the CPA at 11 a.m. ,-------------~--7 l MANUSCRIPT REUIEW l How about writing a review of the Bob Dylan concert recently held at the Broome County Arena in Binghamton, N.Y.? Sounds easy enough . The concert was held Sept. 24 at 8 p.m ., and all seating was reserved with tickets selling for $10,$8.50 and $7. Beyond these little bits of trivia , I found it very difficult to objectively review Dylan's performance on that particular Sunday night. I kept trying to formulate in my mind how to construct an article on one of the most explosive and formative artists to emerge from the late sixties. Does the Robert Zimmerman of 197~ still have the same r elevance and importance to our lives, as wP II as our society, as the man who adopted the first name of the po, t, Dyla n Thomas? Can Bob Dylan still produce the same qua lity ,, ., material that made him one of our idols? I cannot critically disc u ; Dylan's musical statements in context with what he used to be. F. ce it, no one can dismiss any recent endeavor of a particular arti ~1 in relation to what he-she was ten years ago. To make that kind of j udgment is unfair both to the artist and to yourself. The youth movement is not nearly as useful, or as involved with what is going on in the world as the movement was in the late sixties; the Vietnam War is over, and to put it bluntly and untastefully, "Time has moved on." My question is how has Dylan changed with the movement of tim e. Is Dylan's new album Street Legal, and his recent tour both sell-outs to commercialism, or is Dylan making a serious and convincing look at American society. . Dylan and the band are only memories, and now it is Bob Dylan supported by 11 other memb<.'rs. Of course, the musical style is going to be different. But are his musical statements as relevant to my life today as his statements were for me yesterday? I believe that Dylan has not sold out. He has m erely changed with the times to be able to make statementsabout the current state of affairs in America . You ca nnot write a Shakespearian sonnet today and expect it to have the same importance as when Shakespeare was writing; it has been done before. lf Dylan's musical statements of today remained the same as the Dylan statements of the sixties, he would be nothing more than a ritual. In this sense, Dylan could be compared to a bureaucrat who plays it safe but never rises in the bureaucracy. If Dylan tenaciously held on to what he was in the sixties, he never would have a·d vanced to become the legend that I consider him to be. · Dylan is experimenting with a new musical style, but his musicical statementsare as important to our society today as his statements were in the sixties. Dylan must be considered in 1!178 conditions, to view him otherwise is to refute your own aging, as well as Dylan's and society's advancement with time. A person can change with the times without losing their basic identity. Changes do occur, but there is something about that person that remains the same. Bob Dylan ended his Binghamton concert with these words, "May you stay forever young."

Campus Personalities ............................. .. Meet Mark 'John Belushi' Rado in the habit." For the record, Mark claims to be one of the "all time kings" of TV trivia. But when Mark tears himself a way from the tube, he and his room ate · ( his third), sure know how to throw a party. He looks to last year's celebration of a thirdplace finish in the College softball tournament as the "best party ever. We were partying well past 5 a.m., when the Wilkes College campus police joined in." Univited of course. Ah yes ... move over John Belushi. Mark, for his part, labels the College's new drinking policy "outlandish." For those of you who don't care about Mark's view on the drinking policy, pretend you never read this part. After three scintillating interviews with our student leaders, I thought I would take you to the opposite end of the spectrum and present Mark Rado, Wilkes College's answer to John Belushi. Mark graduated from Carle Place High School, Long Island, in 1975. He chose to attend Wilkes College on the basis of his interest in the school's pre-med program, in which he hoped to become involved. With this intention in mind, Mark Rado became a freshman bio major. "I changed my major within six weeks," said Mark. "See, I lived in Warner House, and in the old days that was THE partying dorm . I never really wanted to be a doctor anyway; who was I kidding?" Dr<;>pping bio, Mark chose to become a business administration major. He hopes to someday own his own restaurant. Which brings us to Mark's fanatical dedication to the consumption of food. A dedication which led him to seek employment ih various restaurants in the College area. "If not for those restaurants, " said Mark, "I would have starved. College food is nothing to write home about. " The only thing Mark enjoys more tha11 eating is watching TV.l!is daily television habit includes everything from soap operas to the late, late movie. "We have eight TV's in my house," he commented. "It sorta got me ,l Moving into the realm of athletics ... Mark emerges as an intramural football star, an intramural basketball coach and, most notably, a manager for the basketball team. "I always liked tall men," admitted Mark. Turning mildly serious, Mark talked a bout his love for basketball. "But," he sighed, "being 5' 9" tall and weighing 195 lbs. made me realize that I was cut out to be manager." There seems to be no truly suitable way to end the Mark Rado story. Perhaps the best thing to say is that Mark wiU graduate from Wilkes, despfte everything, in 1980. That is, providing there ar.e no good movies · on TV during finals week.

Yes fans, the "biggie" for scoopers, Homecoming Weekend, is rapidly approaching. In order to prepare you for the weekend festivities we will review OUR candidates for Homecoming Queen, another one of the vital links in our "Wilkes College Family" ( the names have been changed to protect the innocent). Our first candidate is " Cruddy Tooth." Cruddy's sole hobby is swimming ( especially out to meet troop ships). Numero dos (yes friends, we are bilingual) is "Leggy Raunchier," or the "raunch" as she is known to some, enjoys such activities as hanging out on the square and reportedly has been heard yelling, "Hey buddy, only a buck-two-eighty!" I Hello and Welcome to the W.C. Scoop Spectacular. We're bringing you the scoops and poops of Wilkes College. Today many sports will be covered.

Melon is also known as the "Rona Barrett" of greater Wyoming Valley. "Sm!)_lla Morpukesick," next in the .line-up, spends most of her spare time laying across parking spaces for her friends. However, this hobby has caused .Smella a great deal of heart ache as can be evidenced by the tire tread marks running up and down her body. C "Hairy Mane Nutty" is known for her never-ending determination to stay on the retirement plan at Wilkes College and collect the "Crazy Bill Manley" decade award at graduation. Another candidate, "Handy Acrylic," reportedly has given up conventional make-up in favor of latex house paint. Rumor has it that Handy finds this lasts longer; however, Sears is still comparing her face to the paint on Thomas Jefferson's house. Remember friends, the real "winner" will be announced at the bonfire, which hopefully will take place where Denison hall is now located. Following this GALA event, a reception will be held at Donahue's where Bonnie, the Homecoming Queen of 1932, will welcome the kick-off of Donahue's on Thursday. And now it is time to turn to a very serious matter-last year W.C. was hit with Sal-mineo disease; well, the disease of this month is "rampart" boredom.

No, the Blue and Gold did not win, but they did hang tough, only to drop a come-back-from-ahead loss to the Vikes of Upsala College in East Orange, New Jersey. Wilkes, now 1-2, will ho,st Bloomsburg State this Saturday afternoon at 1: 30 at Ralston Field in the annual Parents' Day conclave. Bloom is 2-2, having won its last two starts. · Back to fast week's game. The Colonels had an early lead and held on to it for three quarters against the Upsala defense, which is ranked fourth nationally. Paul Kotulak tallied Wilkes only TD on the day with a 65-yard run from scrimmage only a few minutes into the ball game. The ru·n was one of the few bright offensive spots on the day for Wilkes. How long are we going to hear that phrase, "FEW OFFENSIVE BRIGHT SPOTf,? " · After Kotulak's score, Upsala countered with a 42-yard field goal by Mike Largey, who happens to be at the Jersey school on a basketball scholarship. Get the foot ready, Zap. Right before the end of the half, Upsala had a golden opportunity to take the lead, as the vikes had three shots at the Wilkes goal from the one-yard line. The Colonels "D" rose to the occasion and stopped them for no points. It was like 1967 all over again and we were watching the Green Bay defense in their patented goalline stand. A great job by Lukas' Loonies, one tough bunch of cookies. On the third play of the second half, juniQr Mike Patrick, having a .quiet great year, intercepted an Ups·a la aerial, and Dan Pisarcik capped the drive with a 24-yard field goal and Wilkes led 10-3 with 9: 49 left in the third quarter. Six minutes later the Upsala "D" came through and trapped Pisarcik in the end zone for a safety after a high snap from center. · Following Wilkes' free kick, Steve Hustik capped a 14-play, 52-yard drive with a six-yard run with 13: (fl left to play to put the Vikes ahead to stay. Later in the period, faced with a fourth and 11 situation from the 19-yard line, Pisarcik faked punt and passed, like Joe would, 23-yards to end a •••••••••• Cavanaugh Fast?********** Intramural Football The Chickenhawks' John Cavanaugh is said to be able to run so fast he seems to be streaking. On Wednesday, he proved just that as he returned a kickoff the lerigth of the field - fumbling his pants at the fifty-yard line. The blush-faced Warner House team were tough opponents for the top-ranked Chickenhawks before falling 27-18. Matt Kultys and Les Nicholas were flying high for the Hawks. The Vets saw tough action this week and promptly lost three battles .. The wrestlers were first to invade the Vets as Bart Cook ran them to a 30-0 victory. 'The wrestlers two big men, Ed "Too Tall" Johnson, and Pat O'Callahan, held the Vets "coreless. The Vets then took the purple heart and forfeited to · the Chickenhawks. The regrouped Vets, ready for more ha ttle, traveled to Rider Country, which eventually led to retreat. The New Riders, recovering from their first loss in four years . displayed a new quarterback in Bill Polaha. He unleashed bomb after born b to receivers Mark Sanders and the one-hand snatcher Dicky Bernier, as the Riders romped !50-6. The Vets did have g<>od news despite the three losses, there were no reported casualties. In the gold divisi<'n, the big story ( AS ALWAYS) was Kilgore Trout and Co. The pre"iously unbeaten and number one ranked team were upset by the Dave Levitch Fan Club, 12-8. Greg Tomcho and John Senatore led the attack · on Kilgore. Comments were made by members of Kilgore concerning the game, but they were unfit to print. The long-a waited matchup of Kilgore vs. STUDS took place on Wednesday. Kilgore was tired and sore from the Levitch defeat, and the Studs were all well rested, but minus the services of two-thirds of its famed "Jail-house" defense. It was a battle of the defenses. Kilgore Trout was le(i by Perry " Two Team" Lichtinger, fleetfooted Ken Hughes, and "Disco" Dean D' Amico. Neil Pufko led the assault on Kilgore, but the Trout prevailed in a thrilling 12-6 win. The STUDS took their act on the road to meet the Flying Circus Volume II. In a rough effort led by Ronnie Savitsky ( who has been ejected in his last two games) and "Meatball" Bob Matzelli ( who will enjoy his case of Heiniken), the STUDS won 19-0. In the only other game played, Dave Singer and STX held the Circus scoreless again, 13-0. Its .· time for the Flying Circus to hire a new act. SIDELINERS: .. ,consider an ·i ntramural rule change - why not let students who lettered in varsity last year but are not eligible for varsity this season, play in tram urals. After all they are students too ... . J erry Antosh is one of the best refs in the league, ask Dave Hunga rter. .Jay Mack Cliff Jones for a first down. Jones, who enjoyed a great day for Wilkes, was one man away from completing the play for a 81-yard touchdown. The drive however, stalled after two QB sacks. Still with 1: Z3 left to play, Coach Rollie Schmidt inserted freshman Tom Cywinski in the lineup to get a strong-arm to hopefully get Wilkes a score and a victory. If Cywinski keeps coming in late in the game, _som_ebody might think he is Sparky Lyle or Rolhe Fmgers. The former Nanticoke Area star passed 18-yards to Homer T_,opresto, which put the ~all on the 32. Lopresto was roughed up after gomg out of bounds and Upsala was penalized another 15-yards. Cywinski's nl:xt aerial we~t off a Wilkes receiver and was mtercepted. Still, at the O: 31 mark Wilkes got the ball back again, as the defense contained the Vikes in no time. Cywinski' s first pass was a replay of his last, it bounced off a Wilkes reciver and was intercepted, this time the Vike returned it for a score. It would be nice to see the freshman, who shows a bullet arm, get a start. You know, they started Jim Kaat this year. And it would prob~bly 1?e even nicer i f somebody would let semor Bill Sia voski get a shot at doing something. So after three ·games, what is there to sa_y about the Wilke.s football team. The defense is doing the job, and we still find a lack of offense. If anybody knows the reason why please speak up or forever hold your Wilkes athletic pass. Lets hope the roses Bloom for Wilkes this Saturday. GRID BITS: ... WBRE Radio was late getting on the air due to the ineptness of the New Jersey telephone Co ...

Perry Lichtinger ;c~1j;g; F~~ds:~ ;r;;c~;p;~y Discusses Issues over Dinner ,., Select administrators and student leaders Tuesday were treated to a special gourmet dinner and presentation by M.W. Wood, Wilkes' food service company. The company annually holds such an event as· that administrators, students and compa ny officials may meet in an informal atmosphere to ask and answer questions and discuss the Wilkes operation. A major point presented by M.W.Wood, via a six-minute slide presentation, was their reason a reduced meal plan cannot be offered. Wilkes currently operates with a plan that provides three meals a day, seven days a week ( except for Sundays, when two meals are offered). IDC, responding to students' requests, has asked that an alternate plan with less meals be provided for students who do not eat all these meals. According to company officials, the food budhet and roomboard charges are based on the revenue from less than ~ meals, since studies have shown that students eat an average of only 13 meals each week, or approximately two a day. Reducing that revenue by charging less for the service would put the operation in the red. Official William Blew also noted that it would not be feasible to offer both a full meal plan and a reduced one, since only a small savings in food would be realized because overhead and other expenses would not ·change. "Using hypothetical figures ," he said, "if a 20-meal plan cost, say$~ a week, a 15-meal plan· might cost about $18. For that small extra amount, students get five extra meals." . The presentation also dealt with the issue of students giving · meal tickets to friends if the rightful owner knows he won't be using the card. Because the food budget is based on a percentage of participation, any "cheating" results in a higher percentage--one not covered by the budget. Company officials indicated that they would be willing to present t he slide program to interested students, . and would want to be on hand to answer any questions.

MANUSCRIPT REUIEUJ On Friday, October 6, a commendable production of The Shadow Box opened the 1978-79 sea son of Wilkes-Barre' s Showcase Theater. The Shadow Box by Michael Cristofer won both the Tony award for best play of 1977 and the Pulitzer Prize for drama when it was presented on Broadway. · The play centers around three people, Joe, Brian and Felicity, all terminally-ill patients in a California hospital facing their imminent deaths. They spend the remainder of their lives in cottages, on the confines of the hosoital, with assorted members of their families. In <:otta'g e number one Joe lives with his .wife, Maggie, and his son, Stevi, Brian and his lover, Mark, reside in cottage number two. They1are visited by Brian's former wife, Beverly, who has come to see Brian one last time. Cottage three contains the aging Felicity ~nd he! , daµg~ter, Agnes. The stories of all three patients are mtertwmed sk1llfully and beautifully to give the viewer a feeling of "shadow-boxing"' with that faceless opponent, Death. Although this may appear to be a very brooding and heavy play, it is not: Actually, it is rather uplifting owing to the play's breathtaking antiphonal ending w~ich reminds us of the UJ:riversality- of. death and, ~onse9uently, aids in lessening the fear of dying. · _ · · This production had m·any strong points along with a few 'Yeak ones that regrettably cannot be overlooked. The .major weak points were the performances of -Owen _L avery as -Joe and' Joe Kelly , as Rrian. They were simply Tl}iscast. Mr. Kelly would have been better in a Timex commercial, .f or his over-acting was horrendous. Mr. : La very was far toQ stiff in his acting and seemed as though he·did not helieve- wha,t he was saying. He should have remained back stage. The,strong points in this production were the ladies, each turning in a solid performance. Carolann Kuzmicky was properly scared and· affectionate as Joe's wife Maggie. Agnes Walsh, as Felicity, -was. feisty, but yet vulnerable. Joan John provided some of the . play's lighter moments as Brian's former wife, Beverly, who had ''da_n ced'; all over Europe. The best pe'rformance in the show, ho_w ever, was that of Sophia Rodzon as Felicity's daughter .Agnes. S\le :was, in a . word, amazing. Miss Rodzon surely touched the hearts .of everyone · as she related how she kept alive Felicity's dead daughter, Claire, through letters she, herself, had written.

"With t he resignation of Dr. Heather Arden ( form er chairman of the Departm ent of Foreign Langua ges ) this pa st Spring, a new problem arose-as to the appointment of a new department · chairman." Dr. Arden would certainly be s urprised to read this, but she couldn't be more astonished than I. The facts are that I was hired a s chairman of the Foreign Language Dept. in Sept., 1971, and served in that position until denied tenure and had my emJune, 1978.

Wilkes because she was certain that the same fate would soon befall her . .( No one teaching foreign languages at Wilkes has been granted tenure in the past six years.) The problem · of the department chairmanship arose over a year ago( when I was given a terminal contract), .and has nothing to do with .Dr. Arden's departure. It is important that Wilkes students and fa culty not be misled as 'to what is going on. There is no longer a chairman of Foreign Languages & Literatures because the college is no . longer possesses a healthy and effective program in this field. This sad situation is in part the result of disinterest by the faculty at large, lack of administrative support, and active hostili ty on the part of the chairman of the Engli'sl.I)epartment.

So again we must go to the typewriter, put on the headphones and reveal the latest chapt.E;r in the continuing saga of King Sappin of Straw-Barre. It seems that things were not fairing well in the kingdom since the townfolk left with the great cloud. Few people strode along the streets of the city in the valley and fewer still frequented the large hal)s of the castle complex. The King gathered about him his numerous advisors a.q!} men of wisdom and presented them with the question, "Well, guys, what do you think... you know, I really want to know what you think ought to be done; I mean no one lives here anymore, no one wants to come to our kingdom, tourism is down, nobody attends our institutions of upper education. We owe it as a service to the people of the region to give them more knights." And the committee of advisors put their minds together. Around the round table were the Sorceror Galstone, Jerry the Germane, Badperson Nottingham, Rellezor the Rascal, Hoover of. Vac-uum and the Frerich Overlord Kisaskus Charos Masochetti. ·w First to speak was Jerry the Germane. "I have considered this question and I havt- come to the conclm,;on that we need peop~e. Not just people from this region, for they are t:1e ones who are lea vmg us, but people from far away where Straw-Barre is unknown:•people who will come to fight as our knights. And by l?gical extension w_e must entice these people to come _to our valley with colorful hand-bills and other such items. "A simply marvelous idea, Jerry," spoke Badperson. "We must show them that our valley is as good as any other. Right now, the plague of '72 is the only thing people associate with our kingdom; for all they know we still have dead people lying around. .- So a great plan of enticements was prepared and people and hand-bills were circulated in the large towns of Jet-Set, Preppie and Cosmo. Some of these hand-bills read, "The Straw-Barre legacy is never having to say you're sorry that you didn't go t.o a real city." Others read, "Come to our land of make-believe and ··-feel like weaving a basket." And finally, "It's no secret that big towns are nice, but the main difference between Straw-Barre and the big towns is that our to'4n is smaller." This plan was good and the people came from many miles around; however, the · newcomers, with _their pompous and selfish ways, began to ridicule the town. They made the townfolk feel it was a sin to be from the valley. They called the people of the town "Yahoos" for reasons nobody understood. Little did these people add, for many of them left the kingdom to be knights elsewhere. Again King 'Sa ppin called his wise court together and asked it how it could be arranged that knights could be trained who would stay back in tlte kingdom to help with the fighting there instead of going away after their education. This time it was Relleior the Rascal, who spoke. He was the director of Knighthood for the Kingdom. "Gentlemen, uh-well, I think we ought to try to get people from our own kingdom to do our figh-1:,ing for us. I propose that we tell what people are left that if they agree to do our fighting, we will graduate them as full knights in as little as six years. The other mem hers _of the group agreed that this was a wondrful id ea. So the recruiters went into the town and valley and told the people of the opportunities that awaited them if they chose to go into the service of their king. In a very short while, a five-score group of candidates was gathered. These people trained long and hard (summers too) for the future that awaited them as a knight in public service. But alas, what was not known to this five-score group was that half of them were to be eliminated in the final joustings. And the fate of the few people from the towns of Jet-Set, Preppie and Cosmo and · non-contiguous regions was not much better--they were beheaded . Once again, order and tranquility were restored to the benevolent despotism of King Sappin and all the people hailed and cheered whenever they saw the wise king. And so concludes·this crisis of King Sappin's Magic Kingdom, Any similarities to persons living or possibly dead are purely coincidental, and if not, they are the products of derenged minds currently seeking respite at Retreat.

The dean sta ted that the core requirements were loosened to give the students more options. He continued to say that there is "a definite balance you try to maintain between the liberal arts and the specified curricula."

Wuori stated that "there is an increasing concern for looking toward one's later job choicesin life as opposed to being uniquely lege dean of admissions, believes tha t "the rebellious feeling at that time produced a lifting of restrictions in a lot of areas - not only morally, but also in many areas of knowledge. Thus, it _fostered a relaxing of core requirements." It appears ironic then, that while other colleges are returning to stiffer academic standards, Wilkes changed core requirements ·only two years ago . to allow for more flexibility .. Wuori explained that "Wilkes College never really veered trained for that first job." When asked if he felt that Wilkes was straying from its liberal arts education a nd its concept of " the educated man," Wuori replied, "There has been no lack of innovation as we develop new programs that plug into societal needs.

Because Wilkes is a liberal arts school ( all controversial issues aside), students who select to come here for that reason deserve no less than a well-rounded, full y developed liberal education.

WBRE Brings Royals, King's Our"Colonels lints by Eddie White A great step towards bringing a closeness betwee~- Scranton University, King's College, and Wilkes College has been taken by WBRE TV & Radio Sports, in conjunction with the athletic directors of the three schools. It ha s been announced that WERE has set up a system, whereby at the end of the school year, there will be a trophy presented to the top school among the three, with the highest amount of points·, according to their point system. The point system is as follows, five points for first place, three for second, and one for third. Each school plays the other two schools twice in eight sports. The sports include five men - basketball, baseball, cross-country, golf, and tennis, and three women's sports - - basketball, softball, and tennis. At the end of the last sports season the points will be tabulated and a winner will be named. The winning school gets to keep a large trophy for a year until the next season of competition. The trophy to the top school, a long with trophies to each spor t winner, will be presented at a ·Together· dinn~r to be held arourjd the , . early part of May.. 1979 at the Sheraton Hotel in Scranton. · WERE also announced that it will · televise three local collegiate basketball games. Those games on TV include: Scranton at Wilkes on Jan. 20 at 1: 30; Scranton at King's on Jan. 'Z7 at 1:30; and Wilkes at King's on Dec. 7 at 7:00. ATTENTION: all you puzzle buffs and game-show watchers. This next part is right up your alley. WBRE is sponsoring a contest to decide a name for this pointcompetition between Scranton, Wilkes and King's. The name should be original, and examples of what they are looking for are, "The Big Five'! i_n Philadelphia, or "The Little Three" up north. A prize will · be a warded to whoever thinks up the name, and all three schools were asked to . urge thier students to participate. The contest ends on Nov.I, so hurry and think up a good name. Anyone with any ideas is asked to, contact Beacon sports editor Eddie White or athletic director John G. Reese.

Once the fans and coaches recognized the fact that the officials were nervous and not sure of themselves, the events became completely bizzarre. Head Coach Kurt Hagman said, "I have never seen anything like the occurrences of that game, but we should not let the officials get angry with us, because it hurt us the rest of the game." The rules state that no game shall be put under protest, under any circumstances, but Hagman, the fighter that he is, will probably file a complaint about the poor officiating and the Moravian coach will probably also comply. Nevertheless, Wilkes tried its best and the struggles between the teams led to the highlytense ball game, and everyone learned a lesson from the game. The only Blue and Gold goal came on a penalty shot by strong-footed Mario Apuzzo. The Moravian squad managed to hit the nets a third time to take home the 3-1 final victory. The defensive efforts of Warren Bush, Nick Golowich, Charles 'Issacs, and Nikos Pitsis were superb and helped Colonel "vacum cleaner" Cliff Brautigan to record 25 saves. "Krazy Legs" Kelly Noseworthy, Irv Pyun and Zoom Duong tried desperately to score but the strong Moravian defense and lack of a full squad hurt the Wilkesmen' s chances. Freshmen Jimmy Ray Hart, Mike Karns, and Mark Lepore, all demonstrated "Hee-Man" defense during the second half, when the Wilkesmen only had eight players. Also playing well for the Blue and Gold were Chip Brill from Wilkes-Barre, and co-captain Mark Ritter. Last year, Wilkes handed Baptist Bible College a 4-3 loss, ~ut bowed to "Duh U" 4-1. If the Colonels really put their minds to it, an upset over the Royals is a possibility. Scranton is ranked 10th in east, and boasts two All-MAC first team players in goalie Glen Brodwater and forward Dan Anspacher. Teo other top players include Mike Haley and Chuck Weaver, who the hometowners will be guarding very closely. The Royals six game win streak would certainly be a nice skein for the Wilkesmen to break. Good Luck Booters! ! ! After Scranton, Wilkes returns home with Albright on Oct. 19.

Last week, the Wilkesmen were victims o{ a ' "hard fought" 3-1 verdict to Moravian College in a highly tense matchup before a large Parents' Day crowd at Ralston Field. The Blue and Gold Colonels entered the contest as the underdog, since Moravian had beaten them last season by a wide 6-1 margin, but Wilkes did not lay down for the powerful squad. Both teams played awesom e defense during the first half and neither team was able to generate a scoring threat, but there was a lot of exciting maneuvers and physical contact. With the deadlock still exhisting into the sec_ond half action, the game got tougher as the minutes went by. Finally, the Moravian team found the range on a quick breakaway , p1ay which left •. goalie Cliff Brautigan all alone at the nets and he was unable to make the diving save. The visitors added another goal 25 minutes into the half and the hometowners came back to score, but still trailed 2-1 with ten minutes remaining. Wilkes was a victim of many controversial calls throughout tpe match and unfortunately the officials allowed the entire second half to get completely out of hand. There was a lot of tension in the game, since Wi lkes was trying · to do its very best for themselves, as well as the Parents' who came to watch the annual affair, and in addition the visiting Mora vian team carried a 6-1 record into the contest and had a lot to lose since it is undefeated in Southern Division action. However, controversial c·alls resulted in three Wilkes pla?ers being ejected, forcing the Blue and Gold play with only eight players to the visitor's 1 men. It was obvious from the press box view, that the officials did not control the game the way they s hould have. They changed their ca lls on three occasions, which is the worst thing an official can do. Also, two of the three players thrown out, did not start the fights_ of which they were blamed for. But the Colonels allowed their tempers to fly, and the officials held a nimosities from the onset.

Maintenance concerns continue to rank high on the IDC priority list. Due to obligations of getting the historical houses on campus painted before the cold weather sets in, other projects have subsequently been neglected. So far, things still to be done are the installation of baskets on the court behind Pickering Hall, the painting of pedestrian Jines on South Street between the Corn mons and the cafeteria, and the replacement of new bulletin board windows and locks.

The editor · continued that Stockton is a nontraditional college and that the three candidates did not meet with the same views of the administration, faculty and students. Provost Soter was interviewed for the position on Sept. 25. His reason for applying for the position were "The newness of Stockton State ;would appeal to anyone. Tradition must be built, offering the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an emerging institution," as was stated in · the Sept. 8 issue of The Beacon. Stockton is less than ten years old.

The administration all but tur ned its back on WCLH as many looked on -it as a mere " toy" of the students. A toy tha t few were playing with. It was a round this time that the college decided to expand its flo un dering co mmuni cations program . At present, the reasons for that action a ppear clouded. Perhaps they saw it as a means of drawing students a way from area colleges that already displayed an esta blished comm unications program. P erhaps not. In any case, Tom Beck was hired as advisor for WCLH. A gra duate of Slippery Rock State Coll ege, Beck ca me to Wilkes with a Masters in Radio and TV from Ohio University. He had . experienc e, a nd he had enthusiasm. Onc e he had built a radio station in Balt imore. Now he had to rebuild a radio station at Wilkes. .. . , .

In J anuar y of that year, Keith Jones became Station Manager, a position which he still retains. However, Tom Beck left. His stated reason was that he had found a better job at the University of Akron, as the advisor for that college's radio station. But there is no doubt that his enthusias m had been dimm ed.

Same Old Grid Story: Wilkesmen Fall Again I could have saved a lot of Chuck·Robbins Sporting Goods 39 W. Market St. Wilkes-Barre time in writing this article, and used one of the last three ·B~con g-rid stories. Because, the story is still the same. Yes, Wilkes lost again, this time 27-7 to undefeated Western Maryland at Ralston Field in the a nnual Homecoming encounter. Again, the story for the day was the lack of offense. First of a ll , Wilkes was dealt a severe blow when No. 1 quarterback Mike Wilson was injured and removed from the game early in the first quarter. Freshman Tom Cywinski came in and followed the Wilkes offensive pattern to perfection, hitting on only TWO of 11 for 26-yards and three interceptions. Also seeing action at t he QB slot were: freshman lefty Tony Vlahovic and junior transfer Andy Hreha, the oldtime QB who is rea lly exciting to watch. The Green Terrors of Western Maryland showed why they have one of the top "D's" in the country, holding Wilkes to ONLY 54 yards total offense. ~1°~~ -lo~~ JU#u. I CHEECH& CHONG'S The Terrors first score came after a short Wilkes punt. It was \ probably the only mistake on the \~~y for senior kicker Dan Pisar/11 k- Pisarcik was one of the most exciting elements on the day for the Colonels, as he had a great day punting, including a 64-yard boomer. Two weeks back, he kicked one 58 yards . Pisarcik was a !so perfect on his PAT, after the Colonels only touchdown. Dan has not missed one this year. Still another surprise in his bag was a fourth down fake punt, which he passed instead to junior rec eiver Bill Molnar, who if he had held on to the ball, would have had a first down. Molnar was given such a shot when he touched the pass, that the "Hulk" would not have held on either. That incompletio n gave the Terrors the ball on the 24-yard line ofWilkes and set up W.M. for their third score. TheTerrorssecond score came after a Wilkes interceptfon, which gave the visitors the ball at the Colonel 36-yard line.

Lets clear something up' right now, the Wilkes Defense is by no means, I repeat, by no means, responsible for the 21-points tallied against Wilkes last Saturday. To tell it like it is, the blame should fall on the ineptness of the Colonel offensive attack. With just under. ten minutes remaining to play; Wilkes got on the board with its only TD of the day. The offense? No. The defense? No. What did we do, buy some points? Freshman Rab Luby, out of Maitland, Fla., took a W.M. punt on the 12-ya rd line and sprinted 88-yards to paydirt. Luby, who ha s been pressed into service in the defensive secondary because of the Dave Korba injury, has done all Coach Schmidt and Co. have asked for. Great J ob, Rob. With the outcome of the game alrea dy in the bag, Western Maryland added two fourthquarter field goals, which couuld probably be blamed on the defense. What are you ·guys trying to do? Your giving up six point, that's a sin when your offense is giving up 20. This week Wilkes will close its three game hom e stand with the Albright Lions at 1: 30 at Ralston Field. Last year, the Colon.als upset Albright 7-0 in Reading. Although they have been hampered by injuries this season, the Lions should be in shape for Saturday's contest. Albright, has won the MAC title the last three years, and they remember last year's embarrassing loss to Wilkes hi their Homecoming game, and sources tell us they are looking for revenge.

Host 'Expo'78'Saturday Science Expo '78 will be held Saturday in SLC, as ten College science departments play host to over one hundred ar ea high school students. The day-long event is designed to expose the students to va rious career and educational opportunities in science by showing them . some of t he aspects of a science major at Wilkes. Members of the College family will also be able to view the activities of these departments. According to Dr. Les Turoczi, coordinator of the event, approximately 60 to 70 Wilkes students will cdnduct tours of the Stark complex and demonstrate various laboratory techniques during over 50 demonstrations. High school students will have the opportunity to get "hands-on" exper ience with all the procedures in the afternoon. Pictured are Dave McElvee a nd Dave E vans, two Wilkes students who will pa r tic ipate in Saturday's_expo. (Rumor has it a cat is also in the photo.) the Deans Council . is withholding a decision on the matter until all the facts are obtained. Director Bob Austin suggested two workable solutions to the problem. The first suggestion is that the sponsoring organization hire professional s ecurity guards for the affair. The second proposal -concerns a list of six to ten security personnel com posed mainly of people from the organization sponsoring the party. This list would then be submitted to the SUB board for evaluation. Th e boa rd wi ll determ in•e whether or not the people listed are adequate for such security positions. After considering both alternatives, it was agreed that the latter would be a m uch more feasible plan for everyone concerned. This tempo:rary measure could become mandatory if student conduct does not improve at future parties. It will also be requested that the campus security guards make random check-ins during any SUB parties to assist the security personnel present. · · Although agreeing with the necessity of such measures, Advisor Hoover concl uded, "It is sad that we have to think a bout tightening secur ity ·at pa rties, when the purpose of the activity is for student enjoyment." In r eference to the possible Wilkes-King's party, Bob Auston announced that after much consideration it will be abandoned for the present time. Reasons for this were stated as being a vast amount of negative feedback from both Dean's Councils and other committees involved in the final decision. A vote was taken and it was unanimously decided to substitute a SUB sponsored ALL-Wilkes event in its place. The idea of . a Wilkes-King's party could be considered again in the future if the circumstances · surrounding the situation become favorable.

Employers are re1uctant to hire students without previous job experience, and it seems that three hours a week in Dr. College Profs class on medieval open-field farming just doesn't fit the bill.

Maybe we can put our educated minds together and come up with a solution, but actually, we don't have to spend much time on this because Wilkes has taken an interest in our dilemma.

Spanish Tertulia is a monthly social gathering which brings together local residents, most of whom are native speakers of Spanish, and students interested in improving both their Spanish conversational skills and their knowledge of the Hispanic world. Students attending the OcotoberTertulia included Dina Sauer, Michael Gibbore, Sylvia Stella, Gary Richard, Bob Rushworth, Mario Bianco, Susan Donio and Greg Miller. A 1976 Wilkes graduate originally from Bolivia, · Roberto Jemio, was among the guests. All interested students are cordially invited to attend future Tertulias; the November Tertulia will be held at the Faculty-Alumni House from 7: ~ to 9: 00 p.m. on Friday, November 10. In addition to the monthly Tertulias, a weekly Spanish Table takes place on Wednesday evenings, from 7 p.m. to 8 or 9 p.m. in either . the Alumni House (when available) or in the Commons. The purpose of the Spanish Table is less social than that of the Tertulias: its goal is to improve fluency and pronunciation among students of Spanish. Little or no English is spoken, the native speakers speak slowly, and students are encouraged to express themselves effectively in Spanish. For the location of Spanish Table any given week, check with Dr. Marban ( Kirby 309, ext.. 324). Anyone with a serious interest in improving his or her Spanish conversational skills is welcome, whether or not he or she is currently enrolled in Spanish courses.

' . This letter 1s directed towards Mary-Ellen Riley who wrote the Manuscript column which appeared in last week's issue of The Beacon. First, Miss Riley, it is not worth arguing over tpe issue you made over Homecoming Queen. I disagree one-hundred percent and hope the idea of a Homecoming Court flourishes along with the addition of a Homecoming King. Your attacks against Tex and Fritz and Dim and Wit, however, are totally unjustified. To start with "Toast Your Buns" by Tex a nd Fritz is not a gossip column. It is and always has b~en a humor column. "Live A Little" by Dim and Wit is a gossip .column which The Beacon has received a lot of flack about but as of yet has not received one complaint from people of whom the column is directed towards. lt is a fact that Tex and Fritz has captured the biggest following of our readers in our paper and The Beacon staff is well aware of that. Even though Tex and Fritz may not think so, we appreciate and need their work. Dim and Wit has received a lot of negative responses but their fol\owing grows every time ~h~y write a column for us. This 1s important to me. It is obvious that you,yourself. continually read both columns by noting their "past performances." That's right Miss Riley, Tex and Fritz & Dim and Wit have got you too. The simple fact of the matter is that Tex and Fritz is a humor column about Wilkes College students with no harm intended. Its purpose is to let us laugh at ourselves and if you, Miss Riley, along with the rest of the Manu- script ~ciety, can't see that, then I pity you. I am not asking you to like their humor but at least acknowledge its correct purp0se. As a final point of review, in my estimation, the Manuscript Review column ranks a distant fourth in reader followship behind Tex and Fritz, Dim and Wit, and Raoul.

He became involved with WCLH in the fall of 1!176 when began serving as Production Manager. The next year he worked as Station Engineer. In January of 1!178, Keith Jones became Station Manager at WCLH. I also began working for the college station in the fall of 1976. From that time until January of 1!178, I served alternately as assistant News Director and Sports Director. In January, I became Operations Manager. Keith agrees with the suspected reasons for Tom Beck's departure mentioned in the story last week. Mr. Beck felt that the station needed more attention than he was being a hie to provide. He felt that WCLH needed a full time manager and advisor In a closed meeting with Keith and myself last year, Mr. Beck expressed his disappointment with the development of the Comm unications program here. In fact, he _suggested that as an · English .major with a specialization in Comm uni cations, I seriously consider transferring. Keith and I sat down this week and tried to recreate, in our own words, the essence of what Torri Beck said. It goes something like this: "WCLH is in trouble." TOM Beck officially resigned in early April. The college did not begin interviewing w fill the vacancy until the end of May. Keith was in on the interviewing process. Of the four prospective applicants, he feels that one was truly qualified for the position. Unfortunately, that person, as well as two others, decided not to take the job. It seems that there was some small discrepancy between the salary offered by the · college and the salary desired by the applicant. Left emptyhanded, the college decided to find a temporary advisor for the radio station. Dr. K:inney accepted the position because he "didn't want to see the station fall apart." But, due to his overloaded schedule for teaching and his work with the deb11te team, Dr. Kinney simply does not have the time to get really involved in the radio station. "We're downhill from where we were a year ago,"says Keith. "Since Mr. Beck wasn't teaching as many hours as Dr. Kinney, and he didn't have any other outside obligations,he was able to spend more time at the station." To a void confusion, I must emphasize that Dr. Kinney is doing a great job with the time that he has,he just doesn't have enough of it. Keith feels that the college administration is still trying to ignore WCLH. " The only time -that they make any comment at all is when it's negative." One notable exception here is Dr. Shaw,who operates as Kinney's boss in radio station matters. The college doesn't seem to see the station as an asset. WCLH is hard pressed to operate 19 hours a day, 350 days a year on the budget provided by the college. Keith is still waiting for the third floor room he requested for badly needed office and production space. The future of 150 A's--Believe it or not, this small closet was and still is considered a room in SLC. Visiting artist Andrew Liecester, an environmental sculptor, found the room intriguing, and since it is designated as room 150A, decided to really make sure people know the number and letter. He and his students made 150 A's and hung them in the " room ," which can be found on the east side of SLC, in the older section of the building near the center of the courtyard. The Art DepartmeQt sponsored Liecester's visit and plans to invite other artists to conduct workshops at the College throughout the year. an R rated, rather kinky tale of survival f i"z This kinky tale of survival in the year 2024 traces the exploits of Vic and his canine companion Blood in a driedmud, post atomic wilderness.

Inside the room lies his roommate, Matt, curled in classic position upon his bed. "'~ou damned, abortionist, druggie!" Raoul screams in exasperation, "Don't tell me you're just waking up ...Don't you have any classes?" · "What? ... Classes? ... No... It's-Friday.'' "Oh ... I'm sorry .. .! must have forgotten that it was Friday. It must have beeh those two tests I had today that caused it to slip my mind," replies Raoul in mock apology. "Yeah ... Sure ... It's alright," Matt recoups. "Oh God, why couldn't you have made me a business or Theatre a rts, or any major but- bio. I mean m_an, you've got the good life. Your most difficult course is 'Gestalt Bonging.' " "Oh, lay off, I can't find my shoes." "Uh-oh, there's a major adolescent crisis--better call Joe Kanner-lost shoes. Listen Matt, tonight I want you to get lost--not too difficult considering your usual state of mind. Wanda is coming over." " Who? ... You mean WOW-WOWWanda!"exclaims Matt somewhat surprised. "Didn't she have a date with the football team last week?" "Yeah, I heard something about that." "Maybe it was the varsity wrestling squad." . "Could be," considers Raoul, she gets out on a lot of dates. "Anyway, Raoul, what are you going to do with her?" "You know, like Bromberg says, 'we're going to practice our · horizontal ·cha-cha.' " " Aha," says Matt appreciatively. "Aren't you going to study, like a good Med-Man?" "Sure, of course, and tonight's going to be anatomy.'' Later that night, Raoul and Wanda are casually sipping on the "Guntrum Auflangen Spatlese, 1!175," a Rhine wine Raoul bought especially for the occasion. · "What do you mean 'it's too late?' " Raoul laments. Wanda puts down the beer mug and "wipes her chin, "It's getting too late and I've gotto be out of the dorm by 2 a.m.--curfew, you know." "Curfew? ... Hell, no one's gonna care." "What if your R.A. should knock on the door, or maybe the security police or even Dean Marchetti?" " Look, don't get paranoid, I'm telling you there isn't going to be anyone coming." "Yeah, that's right...what about your roommate, that nice boy, Matt?" "That hedonist! .. .He's passed-out somewhere. Look, if you could do it with the whole damn football team, why won't you do it with me?" "But that was in the afternoon." "Oh .. That makes a difference, huh?" " Besides," Wanda drones, " how come you're only excited about me on weekends?" "Weekends!! !? ... That's the only free time I have.'' "The other guys find time ... and they have practice." "Yeah, but they're not carrying 19 credits of cut-throat science. The only woman I ever go to bed with is Helena Curtis, the author of my bio text.'' - "That's sick!" "Oh, come on." "You must have little respect for me, if sex is all you think of." "Respect! Are you out of your mind! We have been out since eight, and I haven' t tried to jump you once. The jocks must give you at least a whole 15 minutes before their hormones get up." Just because I'm not from 'New Hoysey,' doesn't give you the right to treat me like dirt. There are frills, you know." . "FriUs? Frills! Isn' t a ten buck meal at Perugino's frills enough?" , "Look Raoul, I find you abusive and crude! What do you think I am--a speciman for your biology class? I'm leaving!" " Abusive?! ... Crude? ... Wait! Don't go! ... Dammitall! " The door slams and Raoul sits on the bed dunbfounded. " I don't believe it. I thought it was such a sure thing. Dammit, intellectualism must be dead--it can't even get you a decent date." He reaches to pick up a book, "Come on Helena, let's go to sleep." He opens and reads. ~································· f~?e~!!~!!f..!!~!~~.~,~~. .1:,~!-.. ! ♦ the SUB.

The Lions first score came after a drive which started at the Wilkes 48 yard line. The final score came on a drive from the 50, and the other TD was the runback. Only the field goal, came after an extended drive against the defense, and even then the "D" got tough at the end and forced Albright to go for the FG. It seems awkward to always mention Dan Pisarcik every week. But it would be an injustice not to. Last Saturday, he punted 11 times, only two away from the school record for one ga me, for a hefty 41.0 average. He also kept a drive alive with a 27-yard pass completi~n on a fake punt. Reminds you of Don McDermott, a former Colonel :punter, who always used to pass and fake punts. Pisarcik is quietl y having a good year. By the way, the pass for 27 ya rds went to Rob Irwin. Where have you gone, Rob Irwin. Irwin has the potential to be the top r eceiver in the MAC, and nobody is throwing him the ball, or nobody is calling the plays to throw him the ba,ll. Cywinski showed he can do j ust as good as any other Colonel quarterback as hit on ONLY three of 12 for 95 yards and two interceptions. But lets give him credit, the pass to Jones for the TD was beautifully thrown, as was a completion to Dave Fritzges, which was thrown like a dart. Ah, Dave Fritzges. The quiet one. Does not say much, but when called on, he does the job. Fritzges, the senior from the Rack Mountain, had two catches It is really getting like a broken record. Really. The Wilkes College football team lost again. This time to Albrig_h t College 24-6 at Ralston · Field last Saturday. The loss was the fifth in a row for Wilkes. dropping its season slate to 1-5 on the year and ending all chances of a MAC title in 1!178. The five-game losing skein is the longest in Coach Rollie Schmidt's 17 years in the collegiate X and O frate_rnity. It is also the longest losing streak at Wilkes since 1961. Holy Cow! ! Before the game, Schmidt pulled a Dan Devine and had his forces wear last season's jerseys a nd he also put "W ' stickers on the helemts, the first time that has bee n done since 1973. But the "psyc h" tactics went for nothing. Both teams battled to a 0-0 tie in the first quarter, and the Colonels really came out smoking and fired up. But when the first half ended Wilkes was behind 14-0. Boom-Boom. , The Lions received their first two scores on a 10-ya rd run from Victor Scotese and a 40-yard punt return for a TD by Rob Majowicz, which really took the heart out of the Blue and Gold. However, on the second play fo · the second half, freshman QB Tom Cywinski, filling in for the injured Mike Wilson, hit end Cliff Jones with a 65-yard scoring strike which had everybody on their feet. Before we could sit down, the PAT was missed and the Colonels were still down 14-6. Albright kicker Mike Franczak booted a 32-yard field goal in the third period and Dennis Ziemba had a rushing score in Saturday in addition to some key blocks. Another added plus was the job done by offensive lineman Jeff Shovlin. Shovlin, injured early in the year, started for the first time and played well the whole game. A healthy Shovlin could be a strong point as Wil~es trys to save the 1!178 season. Shovlin, who is always asking for ink, deserves the praises for Saturday's game. Another offensive lineman, Joel Kane, was expected to give a speech before Monday's film showing, and hopefully this will get the Blue and Gold going. This Saturday afternoon, the Wilkesmen travel to Madison, New Jersey, to meet Madison FDU. Wilkes should come home a winner, but now-a-days you never know. The Saturday after that, the Colonels will be home for the last time, hosting Juniata College.

If the Colonel hooters do not win any titles this season it will be ok, because more importantly they are building character and pride. However, Wilkes is not to be counted out of the playoffs si nce a win over Susquehanna University this Saturday would clinch second place in the West section of the MAC' s Northern Division. The Wilkesmen displayed their pride and character, when they said, "We lost 8-0 to E-town, but, we played very well and if we had a little more depth, the score would have been much closer." The actual score was not indicative of the overall game~s the Blue Jays were unable to score until 40 minutes left in the first half. The visitors added a second goal near the end of the half and took a 2-0 advantage to the locker-room. · Elizabethtown, which handed MAC champion Scranton University its only loss of the season in a 2-0 OT contest, came into the second half "psyched up." The Blue and Jay coach was able to substitute freely and the "fresh" players pro':ed too much for the hometowners to handle and proceeded in bagging their second MAC win and the ninth overall. Coach Hagman also substituted and showed a strong bench, but the lack of depth obviously hurt. Mike Brautigan played strong defense as did Carlos Ribiero and Jimmy Ray Hart. -Goaltender Cliff Brautigan allowed seven goals, but recorded 30 saves, which is considered a good percentage. Dave "Dynom ite" Reynolds also made an awesome display at the goalie position, only allowing one goal to be scored in 20 minutes of play. Co-captains Mario Apuzzo and Mark Ritter also showed , 100 per cent thoughout the contest. The Blue and Gold are not laying down for anyone this year and a lthough they have taken some rough defeats, 9-0 to Scranton and 8-0 to E-Town, they are not giving up. Earlier last week, the Blue and Gold did not lay down and handed Albright College a 2-1 loss before an adequate crowd, considering the rain and dampness. The poor weather did not scare the press a way either, as Cha nnel 28 aired a lot of footage and WBRE sportscaster Kevin Lynn praised the sport for its constant action. Lynn and his television crew were able to capture the spirit when they filmed the Colonels second goal, which was recorded by soph Zoom Duong on a pass from Killer Kelly Noseworthy. Zoom found the range at the 14: 00 mark, proceeding a tally by Noseworthy on an assist from Carlos Ribiero eight minutes earlier. The 2-1 score did not show the actual occurrence and Albright was not much of a scoring threat. However, it was too close for comfort. Wilkes completely dominated the entire game, but with just a 2-0 lead throughout the first half and most of the second, it kept most fans on the edges of their seats. Sometimes a team which does not deserve to win, manages to luck · out and the 2-1 squeaker should create an incentive · for the Wilkesmen to score more tallies · against a team like Albright. The only time the ---- - ---- - - Lions scored was a 12 yard penalty shot and a replay could have allowed Albright to match talents with our hooters. Mike Karns, one of the fine freshman talents, played with a strained thigh muscle and played hard despite the pain. Another starter, Chip Brill of Wilkes-Barre, along with reserves Steve "Beetles" Bailey, Miami Jim Edwards and Rick "Wack It" Snyder chipped in with excellent defense late in the game. Wilkes is a waiting arr ival of Susquehanna this Saturday at 2: 00 at Ra lston Field, which will decide the MAC north-west supremacy. Last fall, the Colonels dropped a slim 3-2 verdict and this year's matchup carries much more significance for both teams. After the Susquehanna showdown, the Blue and Gold travels to FDU on Nov. 1.

Bob Gaetano THE 1978 WILKES COLLEGE COLONEL SOCCER TEAM Northern Divis.ion Champs, Women Meet F&M on Monday The Wilkes College women's field hockey team went 1-1-1 last week despite once again being hit by injuries. Although a 1-1-1 week does not seem to be that impressive, the girls did very well considering the circimsta nces. . However, all the injuries a nd poor cir cumstances seemed to better themselves as the Wilkes women were notified that they had won first place in the Northwest division of the MAC. Wilkes officials thought the upcoming game with FDU this Saturday would decide who is Number One, but FDU does not have enough MAC contests to be in the race. Also, since FDU is not in contention, second place will be a toss up between Scranton and Lycoming and the winner will play the top team from the southern division. Wilkes has been selected as the site for the MAC playoffs by virtue of its first place and will entertain Franklin & Marshall on Monday Oct. 30 at 3 p.m. at Ralston Field. Coach Gay Meyers was very pleased to capture the NW MAC division crown and said, "I thought we would take alot of bumps this yea'r, but the girls on the team were really am bilious and the championship signifies the jointure of all team members' efforts throughout the season. I'm glad we were able to win the division title under the new set-up and now we must look to bigger things, such as that overall MAC 'championship." Last week's action saw Wilkes beat Misericordia ·6-0, and totally dominate its opponent. The Colonelettes led at the half 5-0, and this was exac tly th e kind of break Coach Meyers needed. It gave her a chance to look at some young pl.iyers and also give her injured players a wee! deserved break. Goals for the game were scored by: Pam Snyder - two, · Geri McAfee two, and one each by Helen Gorgas and Jer ry . Ann Sm ith. Smith a lso had two assists to lead ' the team. The big surprise was Geri McAfee, who started the year at goalie and was asked to be switched to the offensive attack arid tallied two goals. Also freshman Helen Gorgas scored her first varsity goal, a nd played on the attacking line in the second period after starting the contest at ha lfback . Helen has a lot of potential as an offensive player. The Colonelettes only defeat of the week was at the hands of Susquehanna, when Wilkes just played poorly especially on defense. Wilkes gave Susquehanna the advantage all game, and the only Colonel score came from Julie Kerrick on an assist by Jerry Ann Smith. A rather unfortunate break in the game was the injury which Mary Jo Frail suffered. Mary Jo was drop kicked by the Susquehanna goalie and sustained a bruised shoulder and muscle strains in the neck and back. Wilkes tied Kutztown in the remaining game 2-2. Wilkes outshot their opponents 20-11, and it could be considered a moral win since Wilkes has not beaten Kutztown since 1970. Because of some injuries, bumps, and bruises and a wedding, the Colonelettes were not playing at 100 per cent. Mary Lynn Dreibellis and Patti Paraventi had goals · for Wilkes while Pam Snyder coll ected both assists. After the women tallied . their second score and seemed to be mounting the go--ahead drive, Mary Jo Frail reinjured her shoulder. Coach Meyers commented, "It was as good as a win, we were hurting and we were never. really out of the game. It proves we have heart." Wilkes is now 6-3-3 overall and traveled to Bucknell yesterday for their sixth away game in a row. The last game of the regular season will be on Saturday at 1: 00. Simon Kazinetz ...

This was r~ported b:y Gary Toczylowsk1, IDC president. at . the Student G_overnment meetmg Monday mght. . . .. Under ~tr1ct cond1tJ01_1s, these keg parties o~ gathermgs a~e un':1er the auspices of the Deans office. . . As stated m the new policy, the student who. requests to have a quarter keg m the dorm must be ?1 y~ars old and the keg must be m his or her room. No more than 15 people are allowed in that room and_only one quarter keg is perm1ttea. No tickets will be sold to these gatherings and the sponsor is, responsible for the behavior of' the students involved. A limit has also been · established as to how many quarter keg parties are allowed. Each dorm is allowed three of these _parties per week. One during the week ( Monday through Thrus-. day) anq two for the weekend. A form is now being devised by IDC for which students will complete in requesting permission for a quarter keg party. This will be obtained and prucess~ct · through the Housing, OfficP.. Permission granted .,and regu- Maintenance &Morale Issues at IDC Meeting The Conyngham building on South River St. is one of the two possible sites for the . new Stu- dent Union Building, expected to be com_pleted next fall. Two Location Choices Exist For Placement ofNew SUB 7 According to Andrew Shaw, dean of -management, the new Student Union Building is being planned with a ·tentative completion date for the fall of 1979. The two choices for the location cf the new SUB are the. Conyngham Building and the Conyngham Carriage · House which are both located on South River St. Although the carriage house would have been a desirable facility, after considering student needs, it was agreed that the Conyngham Building offers much more potential for remodeling, due to its roomy in- · terior. Rexcraft, the designing and decorating company, has drawn up plans for the building, which include many modern renovations. Planned for the basement are a rathskellar, recreation room and rest room facilities, at the cost of approximately $30,000. A cafeteria and dining area will be located on the first floor. This entails a cost- of $175,000. The second floor will have meeting rooms for various campus organizations, • costing about $10,000. Labor and Industry laws prevent use of the third floor beca use the Conyngham building is considered a wood structure and therefore a possible fire hazard. Dr. Shaw hopes that these laws will change, since the building is constructed of brick. If these statutes are reconsidered, the third floor will be converted into student apartments, thus helping to offset the cost of reconstruction Once the new SUB is constructed, the old SUB will be destroyed. With the addition of a dinning area to the proposed complex, the Commons will also be demolished, adding more usable area to the campus courtyard. If costs for the new dining area exceed designated amounts, the Commons will be retained to serve its present function. The first floor of the new SUB will then be used as a · snack area with a variety of vending machines and a possible student lounge. Although the new complex will have a different look with a few additions, it will serve basically the same function as the present SUB. Dr. Shaw stated that the College could easily spend up to a half million dollars on this project, thus involving an increase in tuition. But since the ' college's first concern is to keep . down the rising tuition, every possibility is being considered in an effort to keep the cost in the '$300,000 to $350,000 bracket. Gifts and pledges donated for the sole purpose of constructing a new SUB will aid in defraying expenses. Although the exact details for . cont. on p.2 According to Gary Toczylowski, Inter-Dormitory Council president. the most intensely discussed issue at this week's IDC meeting was the report of the Student Life Committee concerning the values of dorm life as related to the lack of maintenance on campus. The members of this committee feel that there has been a definite breakdown in communication between students and administration and students and maintainance. The general feeling i;5 that dorm students are reacting negatively under these conditions. The result is a low morale among many dorm students which is directly related to the lack of maintaince response. Toczylowski stated that the general consensus of the IDC members is that the Board of Trustees and college administrators should take an active part by making an effort to attend student organization meetings. IDC members feel that more would be accomplished if these people attended the meetings and were made aware of the issues. Also, it is now permissable for dorm students to take on their own improvement projects ( such as painting). In connection with this Toczylowski noted that the next IDC meeting will be Nov. 30, and Mr. Andrew Shaw, Mr. Charles Abate and Marion Jones' (head of Columbia Services) will be in attendance to discuss how the lack of communication reduces morale. Another issue largely discussed was the possibility of establishing co-ed dormitories on campus. A committee was organized to look into this matter. In other business Toczylowski reported on the Faculty and Governance Committee ( a standing committee organized for the upcoming accredidation). Toczylowski would like to see more student input on this, that is, student opinions on student issues. Also, Mike Sibilia, VP of the Curriculum Committee, reported that there is a new major trying to be opened in physics. In other announcements seniors were reminded to pick up all graduation forms before pre-registering with their advisors. Anyone who wishes to distribute teacher evaluation forms should contact Julie Kent in the SG office. A "Las· Vegas Night" will be held Saturday in the Center for the Performing Arts. Reenie Corbett Rees Na•ecl Alu•ni Director • Dr. Richard Rees has been appointed Director of Alumni Relations at the College, according to an announcement by President Robert Ca pin. Rees, a faculty member in the Education -Department since 1972, succeeds Arthur J. Hoover, who joined the Deans of Student Affairs office 6ver the summer. "Dr. Rees has a long-standing and close relationship with the Alumni Association, both as a Wilkes student and as a faculty m em her," stated President Ca pin. "We are confident he will build upon the foundation established by Art Hoover and continue to enlarge the relationship of the College with its alumni." Rees wil[ be responsible for maintaining contact and programming with some 13,090 Alumni Association members. A 1962 graduate of Wilkes, the new administrator has been active in alumni happenings since then. He completed his graduate work at Rutgers prior to starting at Wilkes. As a faculty- member;-be wa-s supervisor of student teaching and also taught both graduate and undergraduate education courses. He is the author of numerous articles dealing with organizational dynamics and belongs to several professional organizations. lation of all thes.: parties will be made by the Housing Office onthe basis of All-College _social events. This will be done to prevent too many of these small parties competing with a preplanned All-College social event. This proposal was instigated by IDC inresponse to the new alcoholic-party policy which took all keg parties out of the dorms among other restrictions. With many students considering this a harsh move by the administration, the new decision pleased Toczylowski and SG. In other SG business, Steve Kirshner SG president announced that on Novembe'r 9 at 7: 30 p.m. in Stark Learning Center room 101 a representative from Hershey Amusement Park will meet with SG, IDC, and CC members to discuss the possibility of a Wilkes College Day at the park sometime next fall. Under committee reports, the academic committee reportted that 199 classes have invited SG to come into their cla'ssroom and evaluate the course. Julie Kent, academic committee chairman, said she expects to hear from more classes soon. Those teachers who do not allow SG into the classroom to evaluate will be evaluated through the mail. The use of an optical scanner to read the data off the completed evaluation forms and into the computer has not yet been obtained. Ross Mantione is assuring SG that the use of one will be obtained for this evaluation. It is hoped, however, that the administration will see the need for such a machine and will purchase one for the use of the entire college. Jim Edwards · College Pas~e• Charity Goai The Wilkes . College United Way Campaign proved to be very successful this year as it surpassed its goal by a substantail margin. A~cording to Dr. Robert Ogren, chairman of the Wilkes United Way Campaign, contributions totaled $9,713.48, 2.3 percent above the practical goal of $9,fiOO. Ogren noted that the campaign specifically solicits donations from faculty, administration and staff members. Contributions may be made in the form of a check, payroll deduction or cash. The United Way is an effort to hflp community people by supporting various agencies ( such as Social and Health Services, and Character and Social Development) which otherwise would not be able to survive. Ogren stated that "This is one way a faculty, staff or administrative member may show, through their support, that they are part of a larger community. Although the campaign is ended this week, anyone who wishes to contribute, and has not yet done so, is welcome to donate.

David Bromberg Here This Month David Bromberg, who is coming to Wilkes-Barre Nov.ember 12, may be classified as a musician's musician. His extraordina ry guitar picking and excep~ tional stylistic range brought him to the attention of many musicians who sought Bromberg out as a. back-up artist for recording. Bromberg, however, is more than a musician's musician - he is his own man. Speaking openly about his career, he says: "I figure that I'll get exactly as successful as I'm supposed to, no more, no less. I'm not going to fight it and i'm not going to act surly in order to preserve my anonymity or folkie status, and won't eat dirt so that somebody , will bill me in some special concert--! don' t believe in that.

This past weekend the union traveled to the Clarion State College Annual Autumn Leaf Tournament, where 28 colleges and more than 300 contestants from six states gathered for the three day event. Wilkes entered its second novice squad in this traditionally varsity tournament. To the surprise of many, Wilkes came out in seventh place overall and also won an a ward for having the top novice informative speaker in the tour- VINNY,S THE BURGER PLACE NOTICE nament. The award went to Jm. Pliskin. All Wilkes contestants completed the tournament in the top ten percent and although the Wilkes delegation was small, it was powerful, beating out 21 institutions of higher learning, and proving that Wilkes College is a force in forensic competition. In addition to Jon Pliskin, Colleen Gries, and· Davida Roberts represented the institution in one of the hardest com petition tournaments on the east coast. The Debate Union is directed and coached by Dr. Bradford L. Kinney of the ~oeech division.

I am con. cerned about Wilkes, because here is my neighborhood and backyard. If you had rebutted me to shut me up you are mistaken. Also if you think that I am decadent and irreverent-so be it. I believe that my message was understood by all and, if not I will make it even more clear. We do not have to depend on SG to make us happy or to entertain us. When we dont like what is going on why not make it happen for ourselves. If the SG wishes to help the students wonderful, but they shouldn' t impede us. Yes, that is right, I know this because before ·1 came here I had attended a small two year college out in the . middle of nowhere and we did not have too much that was . planned for us but, we went and did it for ourselves. That school was half the size of Wilkes. So what do you say students, lets do it 'how about it, "lets s--- or get off the pot." Thank you, Ernest College Station's Future Dim Popularity, Humor, Definitions Clarified the Editor: Th e following column reflects my own personal opinion and is not r efl ecti ve of any other group. .1'0 Dea r Mister Edwards, In r esponse to your letter dir ected fo me in the October 26th Beacon, may I present the following points: 1. "Followship" does not a ppear in any dictionary I have cons ul ted. May I refer you to the word "following" which according to The American Her· itage dictionary is defined as: " a group or gathering of follower s.'' 2. It would seem that if a dedicated writer is so concerned with gathering a "following" he-she might do well to become a boy-girl scout leader, guru, etc. 3. In other words journalism as an art form should be outside the r ealm of competition. To need popularity demeans art and th e a"rtist. I think in the case of Tex & Fritz and Dim & Wit you a re confusing popularity with noterity ( defined from that same source as "known widely and regarded unfavorably"). 4. Popularity may therefore indica te quantity rather than qua lity of response. Other columns ( Manuscript Review included in this group) may not produce mass response, however , is popularity the point of their existence? I would suggest tha t these writers are making an altP mpt at something else. 5. P eopl e ( myself included) read a variety of information daily . .,besides reading Tex & Fritz and Dim & Wit I also read the other sections of the paper eluding photo captions, ads, sports and editorials. If for some reason the ingrediants \abel from a package appeared · m the paper I would probably read this also. The point I'm !Ilaking is that the school paper 1s supposedly representative of the school and therefore out of ' interest in school I make an effort to read the complete paper. This does not indicate that I am hooked on the columns I wrote about in my earlier commentary but rather that I try to keep my eyes open to all aspects of life -unfortunately this in dudes the unpleasant. However because I am aware of the ~xistence of idiocy does not imply that I condone it or that I enjoy it. 6. There are degrees of humour; gutter humour, high school humour; etc. which are experienced throughout life. One of the points of my column ~as that one would hope by the hme one grows to college age and mentality one would outgrow some of these earlier forms. As for myself because I do not find humour in the columns and institutions mentioned does not mean I lack humour. I guess I lack your particular brand of humour. Thank God for diversity! Sincerely, Mary-Ellen Riley Assistance Appreciated By Students In Need To the Editor: As normal students do, my friend Karen and I came to Wilkes campus searching out some social activities. After parking my car in the Stark Learning Center parking lot, we left. About ~ feet from the car, I realized I forgot my car keys. Upon returning to the car, we discovered that the keys were locked in the car. Karen and I then noticed lights on in the SUB and went in to seek help. Two fellow students, Dave and Missy, were more than generous in assisting us. Dave succeeded in opening my door and Missy's cheerfulness and wit enabled us' to laugh at our misfortune. For this Karen and I are very grateful. My faith in Wilkes students has been renewed and I hope that other students can feel the same way. Again, Karen and I would like to thank Dave.and Missy very much for their kindness. Sincerely, Patti and Karen To The Editor: sing battle.

However, the overall turnout was very disappointing when you consider the number of students and faculty who are a part of the college, in relation to the actual number who attended the band's performance. I believe the band needs to be _recognized by all as a loyal. source of spirit at Wilkes, and is deserving of support from students and faculty because of this. The band puts in a considerable amount of time and work preparing themselves for concerts, football games, etc., and I would like to think that there are people out there who ' care enough to show an interest in our musical efforts. One way to show such an interest would be to attend the few concerts scheduled during the year. The concert itself lasted less than an hour - hardly much of an imposition for anyone, regardless of the weeknight. I feel there is ( and has been in the past) a definite .Jack of interest from the student body and faculty to support band concerts. SignedDisappointed in Darte Station ftaturt Story 'Slanttd Propaganda' To The Editor: As a faithful Wilkes College student , I habitually listen to our College radio station, WCLHFM. After reading the feature articles by Ed Van Buren in conjunction With Keith Jones I can conceive of said articles as nothing more . than slanted propaganda. Having begun at Wilkes College in the fall semester of 1975, I remember WCLH under the able direction of Prof. J a mes Berg. This man provided stringent rules enforcing the FCC ruling of broadcasting "in the public interest." Num erous educational programs provided listeners with valuable insights. Rock Music filled the air from 9 p.m. till 11 p.m. When MR. Tom Beck came to the radio station, the format became "in the music-listeners interest." To have sixteen of twenty members leave due to the new advisor's policy, odviously means Beck was in error. To continue this poilcy after Beck has left is a ludicrous excuse for leadership on the pa rt of those four remaining mem bers. Chairman of the Committee to Sign-off WCLH FOREVER �'Disco Fever' Strikes WIikes College Ca•pus Believe it or not," disco fever" has found a home at Wilkes College. My initial reaction to the "disco dance" idea was that it was almost certain to fail. Miserably. But suprisingly, the college has seen two successful disco dances this year. And it may be just the beginning. The first dance, held earlier this year, was the brainchild of Kendall McNeil!. The affair went off well, and drew a good size crowd. But perhaps its greatest achievement was that it set the stage for last Saturday's disco extraveganza, "Samurai Night Fever." Quite possibly the most successful party this year, "Samrai Night Fever," was a 400 ticket sellout. The Senior class party committee must be commended for the planning of this event. Walking into the SUB one got the feeling that he had stepped out of Wilkes-Barre and into downtown New York. Multi-colored flashing lights, provided by the Theater department, set an exquisite atmosphere for the night's activities. The sowid system was excellent, as was the musical selection. Live A Little-By Dim and Wit I feel like I may be getting just ;;lightly carried away in my praise of "Samurai Night." The probable reason for that lies in the fact that I expected it to be a born b. Needless to say, this article reflects my suprise. I was even more suprised by the dance contest. There were, I believe, four couples and one threesome involved in the com petition. Bonnie Moore and Vincent Wilson were the winning couple. It was apparent that a great deal of work went into their presentation. That's were the suprise came in. There was a very fine line between the winning couple and the others. All were exceptionally good. A variety of Chinese food was provided at the commons. I can't comment on how good, or bad, it was since I was only able to sam pi e the rice. I' II know better next time. Beer was also provided. That's a must. The point here is that the Senior class took a chance and tried something different. Something more than the five keg-one stereo party. And it work_ed. "Samurai Night Fever" was a success.

The Rl•arnn. ~ovember 2, 1978 Wilkes Hockey Ready to Open • Hungarter Top QB Intramural All-Stars The intramural football season has conc luded with the STUDS <'rowned as the new champs. It is time now to disclose the all -sta r intramural football squad, an honor bestowed on the best players in the league, an honor that will swell the heads of 1n players. This team is chosen by a poll of various players aro und the league (all of whom seemed to have made the team). The quarterback is the key to a good of_fense and he is the one who possesses a good arm, good aim a nd intelligence. This year's wi nner, Dave Hu.,.n garter , unfortu;rntely had only one of these qualities and it was not displayed on the field. A good running game is essential in order to ·be a winning team. This year's running backs are the fastest in the league. Nic k Gard ( who learned to run by watching girls run from various members of his team) gave the STUDS the championship victory on his 60 yard run, is everyone's choice as one running back. The other back, Casper Tortella, ran the ·best sweep possible· by hurdling bodies that his team -mates the New Riders, had cut down. The pass receiver can give the offense the big play and this was provid ed most by John Cavanaugh, the speedy Chickenhawk receiver who ca ught many· long ones this season, pants on or pants off, from Hungarter. The ot he r rec eiver , Andy Kresky, added a new_dimension to a pass receiver's role - heavy blocking. Andy is noted to have "buzzed" many people in his career. Chip Pufko rounds out the receiving corp at tight-end. He scored over 60 per cent of his team's total points a nd he scored more t his seaso n tha n he has ever score in his life. The offensive line never gets the recognition it deserves. It is on th e line where games are won and lost. Size is one of the important features of the line and this season's picks, Chick Andrewsca vage, Gary Blockus and Jim Murtha, are three of the biggest----at Wilkes College. A defensive lineman should be strong, quick and have good hands to grab flags. The three outstanding linemen, Bill Lemackus, Bob Matzelle and Jack Pohlman comprise a fearsome line that will grab anything. Dan Cardell, Steve Snake Grasley and Perry Lichtinger make up the linebacking corp. These three can burst through any offensive strategy to make tackles or drop back to cover receivers yet sometimes they get confused and burst through receivers. · Rounding out the team is the safety position and this year's winners here are Bill Pola ha and Bob Brezenski. The safety ha s the last chance at stopping the big play, and these two were rumored to be armed so they could make their la st s hot count. A few other awards a re given to players who displayed an .exceptional quality. The Good Sportsmanship Award goes to Ron Savitsky for his clean play. Teamwork award goes to John DeSalvo and Dick Bernier for their combined efforts la be led the "one-two punch. " The FAGOUT Award goes to Hotel Sterling and the Ozone Rangers for ca using a lot 9f wasted time and bother over a bunch of guys too la zy to get off t heir butts to get involved.

The Colonels, • under Coac h Kevin Davenport, downed King's 21-38 but dropped a 34-21 decision to the Royals. The Wilkesmen finis hed the year a t 8-5, the same record as a year ago and Wilkes second straight winning season in history. "We did not run as well in this meet as I had hoped. But we will be ready for the MAC' s later this week," said Coach Davenport. The Colonels top finisher on th P day was again the freshman BEEEE-FENSE: The Wilkes College famed football defensive uoit is shown above in action during a recent game. Although the "D" has bPen having another fine year, the Wilkes offense came out of hiding on Saturday afternoon to lift the Colonels to a 29-9 victory over l\1adison FOlJ in New Jersey. Photo by Gaetano After a six-game hibernation, the Wilkes offense arrived on the scene last Saturday in Madison New Jersey and lifted the Blue and Gold at a 29-9 victory over Madison FDU to snap a fivegame losing skein. The 29 points tallied by the Wilkesmen was more than half the amount of points scored in the first six encounters this year. . The top offensive threat for Wilkes was sophomore back Carmen Lopresto, who had 152 yards on 19 carries, only 20 off the all-time record for most yardage on ·the ground in one ga me. Lopresto had over 130 yards in the first half and saw little action in the final two quarters. Also chipping in with ground attack were full backs P a ul Kotulak and Melvin Johnson. Kotulak had 58 yards, while Mel gained 66, including a 51yard run and a four -yard touchdown jaunt. Wilkes' other offense came from fr eshman quarterback Tom Cywinski, who was seven of 14 for 85 yards and two touch downs. Cywinski was in his second straight collegiate start, in place of the still hurting Mike Wilson. Wil son sa w a little action on Saturday as did fr eshman lefty Tony Vlahovic. Rob Irwin led a ll Wilkes receivers with two catches for 28 va rds and a touchdown. Cywinski' s other scoring pass went to Rob Rushworth for six yards early in the game on a fourth and goa l situation. Another top freshman was a main part of Saturday's win. Rob Luby, from Maitland, Fla. , had his second punt return for a touchdown of the year aga inst FDU a nd also had an interception wh ich he returned 43 yards. Luby had really come on, and ha s Dave Korba worried. After givin g up nine points in t'hc> first quarter, the Wilkes "D" stiffc>nPd up and held FDU SC'ori•J,.ss t he rest of the afternoon . Dan Pisareik had another fine rla,v al punting, booming three for a 45.0 ave rage. The former Mt';vt'rs standout a dd ed a 29-yard fiPl rl goa I and two extra points to th1· cause. Wilkes also captur ed the battle of t hf' stats wit h 374 yards tota I nffl'nSP compared to FDU's 193. Wilk es also held the advantage in first downs, 18-13. It was a big win for Wilkes, snapping that losing streak. But, a bigger win would be this week, when the Colonels host the Juniata Indians in the final home game of 1978 at Ralston Field at 1: 30 in the annual Anthracite Bowl. Juniata is fighting it out for a MAC championship a nd needs a victory. If Wilkes should upset the Indians, all title hopes are dead for Juniata.

But two ten- minute overtime periods proved to much for the Wilkesmen as Susquehanna tallied four times during the post-regulation time to take a 6-2 victory over the Colonels last Saturday at Ralston Field. The game carried a lot of sig-nifica nee as it determined second place in the Northwest nivision of the MAC.

The onlookers watched Mario Apuzzo and Mike Karns bring the ball up field and everyone could tell Wilkes meant business, and Noseworthy hit the nets early in the first half. Charlie Issacs and Nick Golowich helped stop the opponents in the first half. Both "GO-GO" Golowich and "Go Get EM" Issacs have played hard all season and Saturday's goalkeeper Dave "DYNOMITE" Reynolds would he the first to admit he could not have done as well in regulation time if he had not been aided by th(' awesome play of these two Tennis Season Comes to End Although play began Tuesday and ended Thu,rsday, it wasn't n marathon match , sinee most of Tuesday's games were rained out and rescheduled.

Regular goalie Kip Bra utigan was sidelined with a leg injury and is expected to be back this week. The Wilkesmen were down 2-1 most of the second period until freshman Carlos Ribiero tallied the second goal on a pass from Zoom Duong to tie the score after 66: 55 minutes of play. Nikos Pitsis and Jim Edwards also contributed strong defense while co-~aptain Mark Ritter and Jim Hart were on the offensive drives as well as the defensive efforts. Sometimes the defensive players in soccer· are overlooked by the fans because the spectators are usually concerned with who is scoring goals. However, the Blue and Gold have many top defensive players and if it was not for their efforts, there would not be any offense. Golowich and Issacs are the "B lood and Guts" performers while Noseworthy is the intimidator. Despite the fact that the Wilkes booters have been losing, th ey have been doing well with except ion of one thing. They are gPtling used to "losing good" and once a team falls into this hol e, it is hard to break a slump. The Colonels will get three more chances and should set their goals high and aim at winning all th r ee remaining games. Yesterday, Coaches Hagman and Lopez were slated to take the troops to FDU Madison . Last fall, the Wilkesmen lost 3-0 to F DU in a hard-fought battle. Wilkes is hoping to avenge that loss in 1978.

Previously, a student was required to have obtained a general average of L4 during the fres hmen year, 1.7 during the sophomore year and 1.85 during the senior. The ge nera l average's are now 1.6, 1.9, and 2.0 r espectively. Students are also reminded t hat if they receive a grade of a " 1 " or "O" in any course they may repeat that course only after contacting Doris Barker, registrar. When a course is repeated, the higher grade earned will be used to calculate ihe cumulative grade point average ( G.P .A) appearing on the tra nscript, the lower grade will remain on the transcript but will be identified to indicate that it is not included in the student's G.P .A The G.P.A. will then be marked to indicate that it has been adjusted. Also, when a student tra nsfers to another major, he may ·appeal to the Academic Standing Committee with regard to grades of "1" or 'O" earned in courses not required in the major. He may request that these grades . be deleted from his G.P.A. calculation without repition of the courses. If the grade is deleted, the course in_ which it was earned will not be counted toward satisfaction of the requirements for any degree. It is important to note that academic graduation honors will be a warded on the basis of all grades earned. Concerning graduation requi r ements, students have the option of using the bulletin they came in under or any subsequent bulletin providing they meet the req uirem ents as outlined in only one of the bulletins. Also, the last 30 credits a student earns must be completed in residence at the College. Reenie Corbett Placement Offic e Function Ex plained to SG Members John Chwalek of the Guidance and Placement Center spoke to Student Government at Monday night's meeting to familiarize SG members with what his office has to offer the students. -\Speaking upon the request v1 Steve Kirshner, SG preside!lt, Chwalek noted that his officer•is not an employment agency but rather a liason between industry and students." Arrangements are made for any student to get an interview with a spec ific company "but that is all we can do" he said. The last three years the job market has not been that open and Chwalek advised that students must also consider an alternate career , when looking for a job. The areas with most availability are in sales, which Chwalek feels is an excellent start yielding many opportunities, and in the health areas. The new reading room located behi nd the Guidance and Placement Office contains a multiple of information on company literature which Chwalek feels is "one of the best you can find anywhere." His office is capable of holding mock interviews for students in order for them to be a ware of their strengths and weaknesses in actual interviews. The long running myth of the Guidance and Placement Office working only successfull y with accounting majors was cleared up when Chwalek noted that he works with all majors and has had good success recently with engineering, nursing, and computer science majors. A question was raised by Mike Barth on why company representatives aren't invited to the College to speak with students a bout careers. Chwalek said this has been done in the past but hec a use_of a lack of participation from the student body it had been discontinued. He said it is quite embarressing to have a guest speaker come into WilkesBa rre, spend the night, and the following day only have five students show up. Chwalek seemed very positive about his services and is encouraging all students to visit with an open mind. "We can be of some help" he said. The Guidance and Placement Office is located on South River St. between Chapman and McClintock Halls. The reading room and other materials are located behind that building. In other SG business, Julie Kei,t, academic committee chairman, reported that the SG teacher-course evaluations will begin the week after Thanksgiving. Over 248 classes will be eva luated and Kent is setting up sc hed ules with student volunteers to conduct the evaluations. The social committee headed by Marla Brodsky reported there is a social committee meeting today in SLC 101 at 11: 00. Plans for a road rally in conj unction with the sociolgy club . will be discussed among other items. Jim Edwards r----------------------------, 1 Feasil,ility of Co-ed Dorms 1 I Explored by IDC Committee ! The newly formed Inter-Dormitory Council Co-ed dorm committee is planning to meet with Dean Ralston this Thursday at 2: 00 to discuss the feasibility of Co-ed dorms at the College. The main question will be why the College has not had co-ed dorms in the past. The committee is seeking out any pr oblems, legal or otherwise, that could h_jnder the possibility of male-~n:iale do~ms. _A student survey · will be given IP the near future where students will be able to voice their preference. The activities committee is in search for a new place to hold the an nual Christmas party, to be held on Tuesday, Dec. 8. According to IDC president Gary Toczylowski, the Hotel Sterling, where the da nee has been held in prev ious years was insufficient due to" crowded conditions" and also ··too close" proximity to the College. The Pocono Downs, according to Toczylowski, is being looked into as one of the prospective locations. The bud get for the party this year will, again, be $1000. , A meeting is scheduled to be hPld this Thursday in SLC room 101 at 7: 30 between all member s a!ld ·officers of Commuter Coun ell, IDC, an~ Student Gov~rn ment to discuss a possible "Wilkes Day" at Hershy Par:k.

The Beacon, November 9 1978 . ! To Probe of Communications Program I~:,~:'!!~!~~~9 ~~~~,!:~:~~:! . I was pleased to see the letter s to the editor sent in r efer ence to the WCLH ar ticles. After I completed the second of these articles, I had the opportunity to meet with President Robert Capin and Dr. Thomas Kaska to discuss the future of WCLH and the Communications program at the College. For those of you who don't know Dr. Kaska, he is chairman of the English department here at the College. My original in tentions were to meet solely with him and discuss the Communications situation. However, Dr. Kaska felt that including President Capin in the · discussion would provide a much more realistic insight into the future of comm unications at the College. First off, there probably will never _ be a Communications major at the College. The reasoning for this involves already existing programs at area colleges. The best way to state this simply is to say that a n agreement exists between the area colleges whereby one school will not duplica~ the program of a nother school unless the program is gener al and in considerable academ ic demand. In other words, King's beat us to it. This really isn't as bad as it seems. The E nglish progra m at the Coll ege is aca demica lly ver y sound. It may be that by graduating with a degree in E nglish a nd a specialization in -com munications the student will have a better aca dem ic base a nd, in effect, be more marketable. The College ac knowledges the need for the developm ent of the Com munications program as part of the English m ajor. This need has been greatly enhanced by evidence from the Admissions office that there is a great degree of interest amongst prospective Wilkes students for participation in a Communications program. And we all know that Wilkes needs the students. And that brings us to another important point. Although the College hopes to develop such aspects as radio and TV production as well as journalism, they are not in a financial position to support additional staffing in these areas. This makes for an interesting dilemma since the only way to improve the program is to bring in more personnel. It was on this point that I noticed a differ ence of opinion between the English departm ent and the a dministr ation.

F or the obvious reasons, a full-ti m e instructor would be more beneficial than a part-time one. But once again we must consider the College' s lack of financial resources. In an effort to get things underway, Dr. Kaska has suggested expanding the Comm uni cations internship as well as the Cooperative Education program. So ... those of you left wondering whatever happened to the second-part of your English major take heart. There is some room for optimism.

Northhampton Stree. Tutors have choice of day and hour between 3 and 7 p.m. on Monday or Tuesday, and may select subject and grade level. Each volunteer has one pupil and the school textbook is used. Since 1964 the only free tutoring available in the a rea has been a va ila hie at the YWCA witl: the aid of volunteer tutors. Since 1972 the Wyoming Valley United Way has made allocations so that children whose parents could not afford tutor could keep abr east of their schoolwork. P upils are referred by schools or agencies such as "Bridge", Department Public Assistance, Children' s Service Center, Child Welfare, etc., or parent and are from public and parochial schools. Summer schools have almost vanished. Pupil failures, drop-outs, etc., are often a voided by concerned tutors giving personalized aid. Mrs. Edward R. Janjigian, vol unteer director of tutorial, said that many Wilkes College tutors have now volunteered. Mr. Michael Barone and other Education Staff members, Mr. Joseph Marcfietti, Director of Housing, Jim Barr a nd members of Hum an Services have alerted tutors to pupil needs.

After reading the articles and especially the letters from the past three weeks on WCLH from The Beacon. I can only say that some people in this school have no idea of what they are talking about when it comes to the college radio station. I started at WCLH Radio in August 1975. I've watched the radio station go through its' bad times and good times. WCLH operated from 12 noon till 11 p.m. during the fall of 1975. We presented educational and entertainment programs to the best interest of our listeners. I've watched the station go downhill since then until the summer of 1977. The station couldn't have been in any worse condition. Things must be bad if the station first-class engineer had to suspend the license of WCLH until things could be straightend out. Then by some strange miracle Wilkes hired Tom Beck to bring WCLH Radio back to life again. Mr. Beck worked hard to make WCLH a professional radio stat¥)n. He did something that hadn't been done in years, he worked with the students, he fought for an identity for the station. According to the "Chairman of the committee to sign-off WCLH forever" , 16 mem hers of the old WCLH quit when Beck took over. He claims this was Becks fault. I say "bull." From my own person experience, working as an announcer since Aug_ '75, and working as Music Director since March 1976, I think the people who quit, left because they were 1 lazy, and didn't want to do a little extra work. The station was run as a do-your-own thing fun-time toy. Mr. Berg was and still is well-educa ted in radio station guidelines, but he left the management of the station in the hands of the students, which we can see now wasn't a gooa idea. Since Beck, the radio station became professional. Sure we do make mistakes, but compare WCLH to any professional radio station in the area, and we match them if not surpass them. Sign-off chairman says "to continue Becks policy ' is a ludicrous excuse for leadership on the part of those remaining members." Right now WCLH is operating at the highest efficiency in years. We never have a problem with management-staff relations. The only problems that keep WCLH off-the-air is the poor equipment. If Wilkes wasn't so blind to the fact that we've needed new equipment for years, perhaps we would have no problems except for certain unidentified "chairma ns and his m • • ········--···--··-----1· ■ r••~~<•••••~r• To the Editor: Congratulations to those who attended Vegas Nite!

My gratitude goes to the Music Lady, Jake the owner of the clue, the Stage Genius( who really put this thing together) , the materials major ( who put up with me), the prize lady( who was the best thing to happen to Vegas Nite or me) and Cue 'n Curtain. Sincerely, John Salwitz Chairman, Vegas Nite Jones Thanks Al I Concerned To The Editor: In thP past few weeks, there have bPen several articles and letter- on the subject of the coll ege's radio station, WCLH. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all who wrote in to express their opinion regarding the station. I would especially like to thank the editor of The Beacon for the editorial which appeared two weeks ago. It is good to see that so many are concerned_ We at WCLH always welcome a'JJ opin ions concerning the station, and would encourage your readers to continue to write to The Beacon or to bring thei r opinions directly to our attention at the station. Once again, thank you a II for your fine response. Sincerely, W. Keith Jones Station _Manager WCLH Concerning the large amount of response concerning the future of the radio station, it becomes apparent that many individuals have a great interest in its future, that of moving forward as it has done in recent years or that of being stuffed in the grave as many hope would happen. WCLH could hit the grave sooner th, n expected, not because of lack of interest, but because of mass equipment failure. Possibly, this is what the administration is hoping for, a quick death to a fine young station. Then, a lack of funds could be used as a reason for not reviving the then defunked station. Or, better yet, could the administration be hoping that it can underpay, demote and even scare individuals away from the advisor's job, thus leaving the station totally in the hands of students, which would be just cause for terminating the station. Some articles refer to the change of advisors for the reason 16 members quit the station. But could the real reason be that the people couldn't cope with · some type of disipline instead of mass hysteria which once existed. As for the format of the station, is it not a station's duty, especially on an educational station, to m ect the needs of the community. It is true every listener may not enjoy what they hear every time they turn the radio on, but isn't this true of anything. Could the reason the station is unpopular with the administration be that it refuses to roll over 0 as an administrative plaything? Could its unpopularity with some students and faculty mem bers be a result of resentment? These questions can only be answered by those individuals. So until everyone concerned, the administration, the faculty, and the students get together and make a consolidated effort and improve the station, every in ch gained for WCLH will be hard fought, but it will be fought for and won by the members of WCLH. Chris Kosakowski EX p O a 5 UC Ce ss To The Editor: Science Expo '78 was made a reality through the combined efforts of approximately 80 faculty and student volunteers. A spirit of organization, dedication and enthusiasm was apparent throughout the planning stages and especially on Oct. 28. We would like to extend our gratitude and appreciation to each and every person who helped to make this day a success.

Name Withheld Upon Request Manuscript Rtuitw If you have had the chance to pass by and peer into the Sordoni Art Gallery on your way to class, you would have noticed that the e xhibition which is currently on display at the gallery has much more to offer than the title "Rugs, Hangings_and other Designs" suggests. One look at these "rugs" and "other designs" and instantly they t,ranscend the common utilitarian items they represent. The work being presented is that of Ms. Annie Bohlin and her technique of creating both functional and attractive forms proves that she is one of those rare people who take nothing in life for granted. Ms. Bohlin's work ressurects the eternal question: 'What is the purpose of art?' Obiviously her work deals with two important dimensions of life: the useful and necessary needs of the functional world and the aesthetic needs that art creates and satisfies in our lives. Rather than attempt to explain or classify Ms. Bohlin's work, one should just give in to the freedom of sensation which it allows. The predominant senses that are affected by the exhibit are sight and touch. The rugs present muted tones contrasted and combined with vibrant !'.Olors. The textures created by the use of various fabrics provide endless movement and direction throughout each individual pattern. By combining stark color with precise patterning, the wall hangings create an airy feeling which allows for a further, and more personal creative statement by the observer. The wall hangings ar.e by far the most unusual feature of the collection, made more unique by the fact that they have this ability to inspire. Ms. Bohlin possesses the ability to take a basic cup, a utensil common to everday life, and with it present a pleasurable and functional art form. The infinite variety of textures and colors found within nature are a II part of the designing world of Ms. Bohlin. Her work though, transcends, the traditional view of art as purely aesthetic, and extends its boundaries to include a utilitarian aspect. Thus, by allowing art to enter the practical world Annie Bohlin has made the necessary functions of life more pleasant. But by far the most powerful statement of her art is that even the most mundane objects of life-rugs, dishes-can have a beauty of their own.

The latter is probably the case' among those of us who spend our time on the fourth floor of Stark. Recently, several people in the Mathematics-Computer Science Department apparently reached the end of their ropes and the result was a series of events that will be long remembered as " The _Great Pumpkin Caper." The story began about midway through October when a pumpkin was found on the desk of Mrs. Irene Cocco in the MathComputer science Dept. office. Mrs. Cocco said that the puinpkin, which she had named Peter, was missing four days late on October 19. In "his" place was a note which read: "Your pumpkin has been kidnapped. Don't call the police. We will contact you about the ranson." · The ' next day a ranson note was found and it said: "Put 10 pieces of candy [must be exactly 10 - for even division .of the ransom! I in an unmarked paper bag. Put the bag oft top of the mailboxes. This must be done with the utmost secrecy, otherwise - Pumpkin Pie. Eat this note when you've read it!" l ,,., AthicdnoW~a~pani~~~al~i!f with pieces of broken pumpkin stalk which read: "WE mean bizness. This is what happened to another pumpkin whos ransom wasn't paid." The note was signed "The Gang." Mrs. Cocco said that the entire week before Halloween she kept finding notes in her desk drawer. ~me of _the notes were accon:ipa med with halves of candied pumpkins. They read: "This is what will happen if you don't pay up." One day she found a recipe for "Creamy Pumpkin Pie" from Borden's condensed milk. In the recipe ONE of the ingredients was one can pumpkin ( about two cups). To that ingredient was added: or 1 pumpkin. Mrs. Cocco said that she refused to pay the ransom be' cause she knew that the professors of the Math-Computer Science Dept. had taken in the pumpkin. It seems that Dr. Koch and Mr. Earl had taken the pumpkin and hidden it in the filling cabinit in SLC 418, Mr. Earl's offict). Mrs. Cocco said that Earl and Koch were supported by the other professors.

AA cr own. However , the 1978 teani was liter ally onl y a fragment of its predecessor, and that's what made the going rough for this yea r 's edition. Barely one fourth of the team returned this year, and everyone found herself playi ng a bove her a bility against people who wer e sim ply better or m or e experienced. Wins were few and disa ppointments many, but much to the cr e-dit of the women involved, they never ga ve up. ,,,, " We knew it would be a r ough sea son, " admitted Coach Sandra Bloomber g, "but we just decided to give all we ha d and use the experience we gained to build for next yea r. That's why we didn't double up in singles and doubles during the season--we were a ble to play more people and gain more experience. " What r eally impressed me about this team ," she continued,"was the positive a ttitude. Even when the girls lost, they viewed the match as a learning experience and were able to improve steadily. It's a sha me the fi nal r ecord didn't r eflect this." She a lso credited Assista nt Lew P artridge for his part in the team 's efforts, noting that he was very helpful because of his tennis background a nd teaching a bility. Senior co-captain Reenie Corbett fo und herself playing fir st singles aftt,r com peting in the fifth slot last year , but still ended with a few wins this year. Junior co-captain J udy Bellas a nd Rosemary McMa hon, who m oved from doubles to singles this season, also played well a ll season, but only Rosemary broke into the win column in regulation play. Debbie Welliver played fier cely at fourth singles and lost a number of close matc hes in three sets. Her final record doesn't come close to describing her per for mance. Freshman Lee Schwartz was perhaps the best-thinking player , as she combined skill a nd strateg-y well. Doubles player s Becky and Mary Ann Morgan were also improving right until the last match, and Karen Polomski and Sandy May used their great deter mination and playing ability to pull them through some "m ust-win" situations. Diane Resnick and P eggy Mascelli played exhibition a s well a s varsity, gaining val uable experience for next year. Wilma Hurst ' J �November 9, 1978, The Beacon, Page 7 Two in a Row for Gridders Meet Susquehanna Sat.; Can Finish Year at 4-5 Two in a row. It's small, but it's still a streak. Yes, the Wilkes College football team won it's second game in a r ow last _Saturday, upsetting Juniata College 14-10 at Ralston Field in the final home game of the 1978 campaign. The Colonel offense again was in gear with fullback Paul Kotulak and subs Sean O'Dea and Joe Wilk leading the way. Kotulak, who led all Wilkes ball carriers with 84 yards, scored the first TD on a one-yard run, which was set up by a seven yard bull-run by Wilk, the fresman from Wilkes-Barre. but O'Dea was the big surprise, gaining 63 yards, mostly in the second half, and tallyinr the winning score on a five- ~,an.I run in the fourth quarter. With all 'this ground-attack eating up ya rdage, you might ask where is team leader Carmen Lopresto? Homer was hurt in the first series of plays and Coach Rollie Schmidt made a wise move and rested him. Lopresto, who has 456 yards rushi ng on the year, is expected back on Saturday against Susquehanna, and that means trouble for the Crusaders. While Wilkes was churning out the paydirt, so was Juniata, who lost all their chances at a MAC title with the upset loss. DeWayne Rideout, who was named as the Anthracite Bowl's leading offensive player in the game, had 116 yards on 34 carries and Dave Headly had 96 yards on 17 cnrries to assist the Indian attack. Mike Patrick, Wilkes' sensational inside linebacker, who has been just super all year long, was named the Defensive Player of the game, and saved the contest with an interception with one minute left to play. It was the fourth interception of the year for Patrick, who was also nominated for the ECAC weekly team for his job against Juniata. Another plus for Wilkes, and gaining more and more experience with each game, was freshman quarterback Tom Cywinski, who started his third straight collegiate contest, and it looks like Coach Schmidt has finally made a move in the QB selection process. Cywinski was five for 11 for 64 yards against Juniata and kept the go ahead touchdown drive alive with a completion for a first down to senior Dave Fritzges on a thirda nd-long situation. Fritzges is still looking for his first TD receiving this year, and many Wilkes faithful hope the former Dallas Area star gets it in his last ga me of his career on Saturday. As far as the defense goes, what ca n you say? They were as tough as always, probably better. We always say the names are too many to be printed, but these guys deserve everything they ca n get, so here we go: Pat Boylan, · Steve Croghan, Lue Nase, Jim Too Tall Scott, Big Don E. Brown, Bigger Ra y Pam bianco, Biggest Ed Mollahan, Rick Krawetz, the pride of North End, Randy Ashenfarb and the burly one, Jungle Jim Devaney. Enough can not be said about this nutso crew on the defensive line and their co-ordinator Ed Lukas. Also registering fine games at the linebackers positions were of course, Patrick, outside Tom Yuhas, John Frappolli, and the man who came second in the defensive player award standi ngs, young Glenn Colvin, who has the makings of being a great one ina Blue and Gold uniform . Dan Pisarcik. That name has been mentioned more tim es this year than Carter. The senior had another great day punting, booming four for a 40.5 average and one a fifty yarder, was furn bled and turned into the first scoring drive for Wilkes in the closing minutes of the first half. On the other end of the punting game for Wilkes is Rob Luby, the freshman returner from Flordia. Luby, who did not· return a punt against Juniata, is the fourth leading returner in the NCAA Division III standings in the country. One cannot explain the firepower coming from the offensive line on Saturday. It was by far their finest game of the season and a lot of credit has to be given to offensive coordinator Joe Moran, who not only knows his offensive line well, but sure knows how to pick those QB' s and high · school football games. Right Joe? Jeff Shovlin, Tom Heller, Don Jones, Steve Wengen, Tom Sokola, Joel Kane and MAC candidate Jim Beck, were opening holes all game for the backs to get through. Still another area which showed a lot of ability on Saturday was the defensive secondary, where Mike a nd Mark Moli toris and Rob Luby patrolled in the abscence of Joe Shurites, who was out with an injury but is expected back this week in Selinsgrove. But Mark Arcue was the standout here, as he had some mighty tough hits on the opponents and broke up a key pass play late in the game. The headhunter , ala Jack Tatum is back. Wilkes is now 3-5 overall and can end the season on Satu rd ay with the same record as a year ago with a win. Wilkes will meet the Indians of Susquehanna at 1: 30 in Selinsgrove, only a short trip away. It would be nice if some of the Wilkes family could make the small trip down to help the Colonels end the 1978 season in style with a victory.

Whoever it was that said cross country runners are introverts and never had time to get involved in college activities is wrong. Don Patrick is a perfect example of how a person can com bine academics, social involvement, and · athletics and be successful in all of them at the same ti,me. Don is a junior accounting major from Mt. Holly, N.J. He is a reliable point getter. for the Wilkes cross country team running as the fifth man. Because of his positive attitude and persistence toward the sport, the team voted Don the captain for the 1978 season. He is also the president of the track club, in addition to working on the social committee and helping coordinate student functions. To top it all off, he is currently the R.A in Priapus House. Why so much involvement? Don says, "It is up to the individual to 'stand up for himself and use the situation to his best advantage." He continues, " I am not the kind of person that can sit back and let time fly by. Being busily involved with my fellow students is the best way for me to utilize my time he1·e at Wilkes." Don decided on Wilkes after graduating from Rancocas alley High School, because he saw that it was what he wanted. He did not like the fast pace of th e suburban living along with all its pressures. So, he wanted a small college away from home located in a n average sized fj community. Wilkes seemed to be just what the good doctor ordered. Academicly, he chose account- ****** Don Patrick ¥¥¥¥¥ ing because he was always fascinated with numbers. In high school he kept stats for most of the teams he was on. He loved to figure out all the averages for the teams. For the future he plans to become a Certified Public Accountant and specialize in upper level management of accounting firms. Although his work with the social committee · and being president of the Track Club are very important to him, . being a R.A. intrigues him the most, socially speaking. Don reminisces, "I remember, that the first semester here was very difficult for me, mainly because our RA was never around to help out the new students." He knew then that, if given the cha nce, he could do a good job, The experience is new for him but, you won't see him having too much trouble beca use he has a very real concern for his dorm mates and their wellbeing. Athletics is something that is not new to Don. In high school, he earned eight varsity letters in three sports, ( cross country, indoor track, and spring track) . If you have not noticed, Don likes to run. Or, should I say loves to run. You would have to if you averaged ten to 15 miles a day as Don and his teammates do. The hard work is paying off. Don's first year the was 3-11. The last two seasons the ha rriers have finished with a very encouraging 8-5 slate. The addition of a few freshmen each year has given the team the much needed depth that is needed to sustain their recent winning habits. There are only nine members on the team, but the top five are running only a minute apart. With the MAC meets just over and the NCAA Regionals coming up soon, best wishes go out to Don and his crew from the Beacon sports staff. If the results could match the efforts put in by these fellow student athl etes, then a happy ride home will be in order. Anyway, three cheers for the de di cated road runners. Beep-Beep.

In a slide show presentation illustrating the rides, enter tai nme nt and cleanli ness of the amusement park, these student organizations were given an idea of the offerings availa ble. Because the park doesn't open until May 11, "Wilkes College Day" would not become a reality until next fall. Buses would be rented for at least 200 students and the one-price admission would be $7.50, $1.50 off the regular price. Garman said that the park management is ver y flexible a nd will do all it can to accomodate the students. He noted that if Wilkes wished to buy . the park exclusively for one day it would cost $50,000. At the SG meeting Monday night, the body gave a vote of confidence to pursue the idea and a committee was formed. Jim Edw,:ards Mime Company Here Nov. 27 The Miranda Mime Company will perform at the CPA Monday, Nov. 'l:l at 8 p.m. , as part of the College Concert and Lecture Series. The company consists of two players, Kathy Heckles and Bill Maxwell. They plan to introduce the audience to the art of mime by using white faces and masks. In an increasingly-bewildering, complex and noisy world, Miranda Mime wishes to initiate audiences to the spaciousness and beauty of a silent world--the ancient art of mime. At a n emergency meeting of the Student Union Board, it was r eported that the Pioneer stereo system, which was recently purcha sed at the cost of $700, was stolen over the weekend sometim e between 10 p.m . Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. The a larm system present in the SUB was out of order during the robbery, allowing the thieves to disconnect the stereo system in the SUB office by breaking a hole through the bottom of the door with a steel bar left in the SUB from the recent dance contest. It was ,a ssumed that the intruders knew exactly what they wa nted and spent approximately 15 to 20 minutes in the building accomplishing their task. Ca mpus security will be conta cted in an {lffort to determine whether any vehicles were noticed near the SUB during the alleged time of robbery. Also the Wilkes-Barre Police Dept. is presently investigating the matter. Director Bob Austin stated that purchasing a new stereo system will cost the SUB about $1000. Therefore, a $100 reward - - - - - - - - - P o e t Beatrice Hau,ley--------- is being offered to a nyone who can supply infor mation leading to the recovery of the stolen system . Recently other acts of vandalism have occ ured at the SUB. One exa m pie of this is the theft of the Hom e Box Office unit, which occured during daytime school hours implicating the possibility of student guilt. As a r esul t of this loss, HBO Corp. refu ses to issue another unit to the SUB. Furniture, carpeting a nd vending mac hines are also being abu~ed by the stude nts. Roth Novelty Co. has threatened to re move their machines if this destruction contin ues. Dam a ge done to moveable objects in the SUB has been increasing grea tly in the past fe w weeks. In a n effor t to reduce this, Dean Art Hoover stated that student I.D. cards will be collected for the use of ping-pong paddles, balls and pool cues. The I.

In order to reduce further damage to the SUB, Dean Hoover suggested that a new cont. on p.3 Dtpt.1 Foarth WriteJ•in-Residence Chosen · ~ducatlon Undtrgots Rtultw The College department of English and foreign languages has announced that Ms. Beatrice Hawley will be the Writer-InResdidence for the upcoming spring semester. Ms. Hawley is renown for her creative writings in poetry and has received several awards for her work. She will be available to students and residents at least two days out of each week, while also teaching an english topics class, 'Creative Writing-Poetry'. This is the fourth year the program has been in effect. It is funded by two sources, the National Endowment for the Arts, which supports a residency and reading program in creative writing, and the Allan Hamilton Dickson Chair of English Literature, · created by Dorothy Dickson Darte in memor y of her father _ to encourage, among other things, creative writing. Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of the department, stated that the program is becoming wellknown within writing circles. So well-known that the department has not had to advertise for writers after the initial year. Writers who wish to participate send in resumes and then it's be" n only a matter of finding the one most suitable for the needs of the College. Dr. Kaska alternates the types of literature offered in tqe progra m ea ch year. Ms. Hawley is the fo urth writer in the program. She follows poet Hugh Seidman, short stor y writer La ura Furma n, a nd pla y- write J on Lipsky. Seidman ha s published two books of poetry , with both winning a wards. The first, Collecting Evidence, is a Yale Younger Poetry Series Award Winner and his second, Blood Lord, won the Walt Whitman Award given by the Academy of American Poets. Furman has been published in both the "New Yorker" and the "Yale Review" both of which are very selectivf,. Lipsky's play, "Beginners Luck", won a Boston Emmy. Ms. Hawley received her first baccalaureate degree at Lycee Chateaubriand, in Rome, Italy in 1961. In 1976, she earned a BA in English, summa cum laude, from Brandeis University. In 1978, she was nominated as a teaching assistant PhD. candidate in the english department of the same university. Her teaching experience is varied, ranging from being an English writing teacher to childbirth education instructor. She has given numerous readings and lectures, mainly in the north-east coast area, where she resides. She has published 15 poems, with three more forthcoming, two magazine articles, and two books. A short selection from her first book of poetry, Making The House Fall Down is called. ''Love'',: like wisteria choking the house, pulling the porch off, making the foundation crazy grey in the off season letting you think the birch trees will make shelter but the root will not burn out, the vines come back making the house fall down under the sweetest flower A review of her first book by "Choice" magazine says, "The short lyric poems in this e·xcellent first book demonstrate the poet's originality and essential humanity." It continues, " Mariy of the poems are written from a child's point of view, but with an adult's accuracy of vision: 'We have all been lost in our mother's house - We have all crept down in the night -To put something sweet in our mouths.' Recommended for all libraries." For those students interested in writing poetry, the class Ms. Hawley will teach can certainly be of great benefit. The College also offers a major in English with a concentration in creative writing for those who wish to ser.iously pursue writing as · a career.

A select team of educators from t hroughout the state recently visited the cam pus to review the College's education department, which is seeking renewal of accreditation from the P ennsylvania Department of Education. The 12-member team represented other colleges and school districts throughout the state. They reviewed ·all of the programs under the department and talked with faculty and students during the three-day visit. According to Dr. Eugene Hammer, chairman of the education department, a favorable review was indicated in an unofficial report made to President Capin by the evaluation team. A written report by the re_view team will be sent to the College sometime in Janµary. The College has the right to negotiate any differences in the report and final official approval will come from the Secretary of Education in the spring. The education department is up for renewal of accreditation every five or six years. Hammer said that the program has always been ac.credited a s far back as he could remember. "This was a fi ve-year major review of the educa tion program ," he said. He a lso noted that the communications a nd ea r th a nd spa ce sciences pr ograms are the new cer tified progra ms which ar e now offer ed by the depa rtm ent. Hammer seem ed ver y positive a bout the department r eview and said he could see no r eason why accreditation would not be · g-ranted . Jim Edwards �Page 2, The Beacon, Novem ber 16, 1978 .

And so the " if you think you' r e good try playing Wilkes-Barre " legend continues. Bromberg surv.ived the test. Barely. But his poor friend Ralph McTell must ha ve wished he wa s a nywhere but in the Wilkes College gym a s he played to calls of "good night" a nd "we wa nt Brom ber g" throughout his 4o minute perform a nce.

Probably the biggest thing to save· Brom berg wa s that by the time he ca me out ( around 10 pm) most of the crowd was either very mellow a nd appreciative or totally a nnihilated.In a ll, Br om berg did put on a good show. Without his ba nd, it was obvious that the purpose was to promote his upcoming album tha t fea tures t he r educed instrumenta• tion . However , even Brom ber g had a few comments for the crowd. He was especially unha ppy with a gentleman who spent most of the evening loudly r equesting his favorite song. And he told him so. Yet, something seemed to be missing from the performance. It wa s a lmost as if the concer t was building to a climax that never came. To be sure, enjoying a David Bromberg concert does n't m ea n jumpin g up and down a nd dancing in the aisles. But still.

On June 21, 1978, the Hahneman n Television Network ( HTN) became a reality. For nearly five months HTN has been providing instructional , programming which facilitates the education of Wilkes-Hahnemann undergraduate students during the final phase of their training in the Wilkes-Barre--Scranton area. The network is also utilized by practicing doctors for diagnostic consultations and for obtaining additional medical credits by viewing the programs.

IDt·M·tmbtrs Ltarn of SUB Sttrto Thtft The stereo system in the SUB which was purchased earlier this semester was stolen last Saturday. This was reported at IDC' s Sunday night meeting. . Taken was the ster eo receiver, four . speakers and a cassette tape dack. Approximate value of the system was estimated ~t $750. . . According to Bob Austin, SUB director, the burglers apparently broke in through a basement window sometime during the evening. The alarm system was not working due to a malfunction. Wilkes-Barre police were notified of the incident on Monday. "We're gonna have to reconsider buying a new one," IDC President Gary Toczylowski commented, adding that this was not the first time a stereo system had been heisted.

To prevent further thefts, Toczlowski recommended that shelves be built into the ·wa lls to house the stereo components. In other business, Bob Matzelli, Shep Willner and Toczlowski, acting as representatives of the Co-ed committee, met with Dean Ralston last Thursday in what was termed "a pretty productive meeting." According to the IDC president, the administration "never sa id that having co-ed dorms was bad; they just never took a sta nd on it." Dean Ralston reportedly said tha t IDC should pursue the idea of co-ed dorms, so the next step will be to devise and distribute a student questionnaire. For those of you who were wondering, the road maps which were cut up into zones and placed on the bulletin board near the IDC office are for those people who are seeking transportation home. This addition is known as a "ride board." The person seeking ( or offering) a ride will simply place a card under the zone number which corresponds to his destination, along with the desired day and time of departure. This idea has been successful at other colleges and will hopefully cut down on bull etin board space used , previously to ask for rides. The maintenance department received its first words of praise a II semester from IDC this week. Toczlowski said that maintenance crews responding to IDC r equests seem to be showing "genuine interest. Look for improvements in maintenance,_ " .he concluded.

The owner wants to find out who caus<:!d the damage. Marchetti warned that one walks across the fenced property at his own ri sk. " He could get yo u for trespassing." Tony Lillis SPRING 1979 STUDENT TEACHERS: There will be an important meeti ng in the lounge of the Dorothy Dickson · Darte Center for the Performing Arts for ALL students who anticipate doing their student teaching in the Spring of 1979. Meeting will be hPlrl TuPda v, '.\Tov . 21 at 11 a.m. The hub of the network in this area is the facil ity here at Wilkes, under the direction of Chief Engineer Pat Shevlia. He · is assisted by fo ur TV technicians and an additional engineer. Shevlia is responsible for checking and maintaining the system and he also determines what programs are sent to eac h subsystem . The medically-related programs deal with doctor-patient r elationships, nursing, allied health, safety administration and patient education. Each participating area hospital ( Mercy, Wilkes-Barre General Veteran's Administration, Wydming Valley and_ Nesbitt Memorial) has a stud10 or remote box camera and monitor in intensive care units, cardiac care, etc. Thus, eac h hospital ca n tramsmit and receive programming. Shevlia com mented that 99.5 percent of the programming is li ve. However, programs are also videotaped a nd stored in the library for two months so ~tudents and doctors can review them at their own convenience. In January a series of nursing programs will be aired ev~ry Thursday for two hours. Nurs1~g students will be able to obtam credits for viewing time. Also, if ITFS( Instructional '.fV Fix Service), a set-up by which two programs can be aired at the same time, is being considered for use. Its inception will ·depend on the interest exhibited by area institutions. HTN operates five days a week from 8 a .m. to 5 p.m. Programs range in length from one to two hours. Five or six hours of transmission a day is considered a heavy load. Shevlia pointed out that Wilkes-Hahnemann students are ve ry enthusiastic about the ~etwork. Area doctors are savmg time traveling because medi cal · confer ences are televised over the networ\<; right to their hospital. .. Basically, HTN 1s part of a continuing educational progra1'.1 which wilJ provide needed m edical personnel to serve this area. Students in the six-year program return to the area for . their last clinical year of medicine. It is antic ipated that they will remain to ser ve the Wyoming Valley and surrounding communities after completion of the program.

Financial Aid Applications Easier in '79 Students applying for financial aid for the 1979-80 academic year will be able to take advantage of new procedures which simplify the application process along with eliminating some of the expense of making application. For the past severaJ years m·uch thought has been given on federal, state, and college levels . toward making the financial aid application process easier for parents and students to understand. Last yea r, for exa m ple, one form was completely elim in a ted from the procedure when Basic Gra nts agreed t hat either the F inanc ia l Aid F orm ( F AF) of the Coll ege Scholorship Service or the Pennsylvania Sta te Gra nt application would also ser ve as the application form for th e Federal Basic Gr ants Program. As a r es ult, a id a pplica nts who were Pennsylva nia r esidents were req uired to file the P HEAA-BEOG Composite Applica tion to qua lify for a State Grant a nd the Basic Gran t. If they wa nted to a pply for Collegeadminister ed aid such as gra nts, loa ns or work-study, they were a lso r equir ed to file a college a pplica tion and the Financial Aid F orm . Non -Penn syl vania residents compl eted only the College a ppl ication and the FAF form in order to ha ve their eligibility established for the Basic Grant a nd Coll ege-administered progra ms. A processing fee of $4.50 was cha r ged by the Coll ege Sc hola r ship Servic e to analyze the F AF , regardless of whether the student eventua lly received any assistance or not. Neither the Coll ege nor the Sta te makes a ny cha rge to studen ts in the process of appl yi ng for financial assista nce. exactly the same formula that the College Scholarship Service uses. PHEAA will then transmit the results of that a nalysis back to the Wilkes Financial Aid Office where eligibility for College-administered aid programs will be determined. In other words, next year, most Wilkes students will not have to file a financial aid form.

Pennsylva nia residents would apply for a state grant, Basic Grant, a nd Coll ege Administered Aid with just the PHEAA-BE OG fo rm a nd the College a pplication. Who Files What? Students who r eside in states that use the F AF as the a pplication for m for their State Schola r ship or Grants Programs, such a s New J ersey, Vermont, a nd Ma ssa chusetts, will still be r eq uired to file the Financial Aid Form and the College Application to a pply for all the aid progra m s.

I �November 16,1978, The Beacon, Page 7 'The GreatPumpkin Cape·r ' (Chapter Two) RESISTANCE IS FRUITLESS signedThe Pumpkin Political Indoctrination Effort Wing of the Joint Eggplant and Lettuce Liberation Organization. The last note before the big day ( Halloween) reads as follows: Greetins, salutations and pumpkin seeds: Since you have confessed to the deeds of stealing the innocent pumpkin we are returning one piece of candy to you. This is so you may be able to enjoy Halloween in the true spirit of the word. It is noted, however, that not all members of the J.E. L.L.O.organization have confessed. The remaining ransom that you paid will be returned to you if you point a finger at the rest of the J .E.L.L.O. gang. Please realize that you do not help one innocent cannot be returned. Have the others admit guilt and the Great will see to it that you will be totally refunded for your efforts. Thank You, The Great Pumpkin's Detective Staff. On Halloween (Koch's birthday -al years - WOW! ! ! ) , Koch found his office empty - no furniture, only the Great Pumpkin's messa ge attached to a large string spider web which bisected his office. The message read: Death wishes toward the Great Pumpkin ar e not wise since he controls all of the Halloween festivities. We ,have spared you because it is the day of your creation. And as toey say "Trick {)r Treat", remember Editor's Note: If you will recall, in last week's issue you learned of the abduction of Peter I-um p· kin, "son" of Mrs. Cocco in the Math Dept. Office. Ransom notes, charges and gangs were in abundance, and as we left Peter, he was threatened with a "squishing." Here's what happened ...... . On Thursday, Oct. 26, computer print-outs were found in Earl's office, and on Friday, the door of his office was covered with computer print-outs of per· mutations of the word pumpkin. In the math office computer printouts trailed from the door to Mrs. Cocco's desk, over the desk and onto filing cabinets. Two pictures of Peter along with a note were on the department's bulletin board. The note encouraged Mrs. Cocco not to worry about Peter and is believed to be from the Great Pwnpkin's Detective Staff. On Friday, Oct. 'Zl, six professors ( excluding Koch and Earl) came into the math office four · minute apart, presented Mrs. Cocco with a pumpkin and confessed to kidnapping Peter. Mrs. Cocco was left with six imposters. Earl received the following note: ·TIDS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO! ! ! ! Koch is teaching in room 423. Go get him, and the two of you must go a nd talk to Mrs. Cocco, admit you are guilty and apologize. Only then can I return her Peter ( who, by the way, is crying to be-=·taken home). If Mrs. Cocco is willing to accept your statements, then and only then will I be nice to you. If she feels nasty and mean today then YOU WILL SUFFER THE WRATH OF THE GREAT PUMPKIN. I HAVE SPOKEN. GO!!!!!!!! On the day before Halloween a four foot pumpkin made of tissue was found in Earl's office. Earl noted that he had some trouble opening the door. Also, the six imposter pumpkins were fou nd carved with happy faces. There was also a note to Koch: "Your pumpkin carving is a definite plus for the furtherance of our cause. The oriental pumpkins definitely stress your artisitc ability. It is a good thing to put a diabolical mind such as yours to work - we are glad to see that you eill keep up the good work .... A job well done, Anonymous Your Comrades in Conspiracy." Another note read: "If you want to see your reviisionist pumpkin again follow these instructions carefully. We have decided to increase our demands. In addition to the ransoms, we demand the release of 6 fellow valient members of our red gang: 3 tomatoes, 2 hot peppers and a red cabbage. They are all being held prisoner in the produce section of Percy Brown's awaiting execution. Also, we demand a large bowl and sufficient oil and vinegar ro make our getaway to the Sandwich Islands. WE MEAN BUSIBESS! GOES. · Another week and yet a nother colum n to throw into the old fire. Insanity has col}l e to roost for someone has ldt the barn door open a nd the minds have all r un a way. It's time to get ser ious folks. The sa tire ha s been cute and we got a few good laughs, but as was tlie fa te of Aristopha nes, people laugh at our humor, but heed little to try to bring that bird home to roost--get that mesage irito our own front yard: For over two years, I ha ve J:>een eating a t the Wilkes College r esidence dining hall and for the same amount of time I ha ve complained about the food. I have always maintained that there was much room for improvement in the quality of food served and that the entire residence hall-cafeteria system is not the deal it appeared to be. As of la te, on the basis of information that has appeared in this paper, these two ideas have gathered into ,two conclusions: first, it appears. that we are paying a higher price than we think for mea ls, and secondly, the rule requiring that meals must be taken in tantamount · is ·an infrimgement of our rights· of free choice and possibly contributing to the poor ta.ste of the food. . By M. W. Wood's own a'dmissidn they base meal purchases and· rates upon the fact that each student eats ,13 meals per week, on the a verage. We are not paying for ro meals, but 13, therefore on the basis of $400 a semester for food, a 15 week semester and 13 mea ls a week we pay $2.35 for the' a vei'age meal. This figure, as opposed to the $1.50 per meal we pay for ro meals doesn't make the cafe a ppear to be the dea l it should be. Dorm students have no choice as to what meal plan they must take. Ever y dorm er in ust buy three ineals a day, seven days a week. The only dim possibility of getting out of this tangle is to have a note from your physicia n citing a specific illness as cause for not being able to eat the food ( ironic, huh?). This note (you' re not safe, yet) must then be approved by the school's doctor a nd then by the Dean's Council. So per ha ps, if your stomach was r emoved and you take f~od in through your arm , you might not have to pay for meals you cant eat. So for the rest of us poor slobs whose only ailment is sensitive tast-buds there is no recourse but to submit to this juvenile treatment if we choose the convenience of on-cam pus housing. We all know that the United States is a capitalist society based upon free enterprise and a competitive market -- the Am_erican way. However, it appears that at Wilkes we have a system of no-choice. We must ~ke all meals here. If students were given a choice among a variety of meal plans then that would place M. W. Wood on a competitive footing with other local eating places and what the students could cook for themselves. Competition alone would raise the quality of food, for M. W. Wood would want to entice students to eat there. But, M. W. Wood naturally opyoses such a system for who would want to lose a profitable monoply. Such is life at Wilkes College. There are other systems--som e better, some worse. The price for on-campus housing is _competitive with that found off-campus, but alas, there is very little available. Other schools have meal plans in which the weekend meals are optional along with breakfast. Why can't alternative systems be looked into? When over half the dorm population goes home on the weekend, does it seem fair to charge them for those lost meals? Perhaps, my arguments are weak, but these are issues that we students should be thinking a bout. · to One more thing, before I go. Last week I received a letter from a faculty member requesting a meeting with me I met with him and he brought forth some interesting criticisms of · my past columns. However, in the interest of fairness to all I would like to have a letter from this person, outlining his gripes, to be published in the paper and it is there that I will answer them. I feel that Wilkes College 1s a viable institution and that it can work, but it has its faults. Its greatness should lie in its ability to recognize and correct them, -not ignore them.Maybe next week we'll get funny again. Until then,-- be mellow, Signed The Gadfly. 288-3751 211 WJ111ill AHlle, Kilplll YOUR STEREO HEADQUARTERS - Come See Bob or Joe at the The Stereo House ~--------------------------~ -,, •Roller Skating PartySundayN1te II I I I I The.Class of 1980 is sponsoring an All-College Roller Skatil!g ~ ar~y Sunday night, November 19th, from 7:30 · 10:al p.m. Adn11ss1on 1s FREE to all Wilkes students with I.D. cards, however, there is a 75 cents skate rental fee. , If'you have a test(s] Monday, study earlier, study later, o,r fail, but com e a nd have a good ttflt £LS£ PtD wf N££0 QF '/04, 'RE iO JOIN 04\1... ~1 I-IG COMfV\U~ IT'/f I I I I ~.:'..:::!1!.:.~ ____________ J '-----:.~~~~~~~~~~~~-:.~~'!.~~-=-~~~~~~~~~~~~~--.~~~~~~~~~~~~---=- -==-==-==-== -=---------,- ,~s·r (( \.\.1lQr', . •• .. ..,__....,.,.......,..,.4"......,...__.,..yraou ir'lfl Sillfllll f'llllJSfl w,-rt-t L P .S.

Louis Czachor �Page 8, The Beacon, November 16, 1978 -Requiem for the Heauyweight On September 15 I found myself at a local bar with a seven foot T.V. screen. A black couple took seats next to me as I paid the barmaid $2.50 .for a beer and a shot. Only one thing could have put me in that place at that time, a title fight. Spinx was to m eet Ali at ten o' clock which was less than ten minutes a way. New Or lea n' s Super dome pr ovided the ffith century's best approximation of the Rom a n Coliseum . The seven foot T.V. screen pr ovided a very hazy picture with static sound to match. In a ll it r em inded me of watching old 8m m fight films.

On September 15 only rom antics believed that one of the men would hit the canvas. When Joe Frazier'-s croaky rendition of the national anthem conc luded I prepared to watch a display of ooxin1;. When Ai:i entered the ring the black couple on my right began s~y1!1-g s?methmg about Al i being the champ, and how the prayers said m his cor~er would help him " whoop" Leon. I quickly reminded them that Ali was not the champ and that money would encourage hi!11 to vi~tory fa~ better than prayers. This startled these devout Ali fans mto p~smg the inevitable question, "If you like Spinx so much, we're takmg bets, are you game, Chump?" I simply replied that_ I was a devout Christian and that my prayers would help Leon to victory much more than my wagers. . . During the first five rounds Spmx gave Ali m?re chances tha~ a drunken porn-porn girl gives the varsity captam after the sei:110r prom.

Sees Success Through Progressive Changes WHICH DEPARTMENT on campus can boast of having placed 100 per cent of its graduates last yea r befor e they even gra duated? And just as impr essive, those students who enter ed the job market dir ectly a r e ea rning a bove-aver age sa lar ies a nd those who went on to gra duate school did so on fellowships. The depa rtm ent is engineering and according to Dr. Umid Nejib, department chairperson, there exists a multiplicity of reasons for its success. Nejib attributed part of the program's success to the many available engineering laboratories ( such as drafting and graphics, micro and mini computer, .X-ray diffraction, materials preparation, to mention a few) and other available facilities including those · of the Hahne- · mann Medical Program, antenna range and testing, mictoprobe, welding and arc melting, and more. HE BELIEVES that Wilkes is "one of the best equipped undergraduate schools in the country in that it houses many facilities which are not a vailable else·vhere." Another contributing factor to the program' s prosperity is its fluidity. The department chairper son explained that the engineering field changes very rapidly; from the time a student starts the program in his freshman year until his completion in his senior year, many changes have occured. He stated, " Our curricula is desigm,d to accomodate these cha nges." Nejib also talked about the enthusiastic engineering staff and its "Progressive look into student-faculty relationships," or the "open-door policy" as he term ed it. All of the faculty m embers ar e ava ilable a fter their posted office hours to help the students. THE PROFESSOR sees the engineering staff a s productive "i n term s of scientific activities." He went on to expla in that much of the facilities and equipment came from grants that were initiated by the faculty members. Also important is the fact that the services rendered by the department are community oriented as well as school oriented. Nejib noted tha t ''we're not graduating r obots out of this department; an engineer must be responsible and humane ano we intend to develop them a s human beings. This is one of the advantages of having a n engineering program in a liber al ar ts institution." Basically, the engineering department offers three types of pr ogra m s. Ther e ar e the fo ur year pr ogra m s in electrical e ngin eer ing a nd materi a ls engineering which lead to a B.S. degree. Students may elect c-oncentrations in areas of bioengineering, electronic material, computer engineering, electronic and logic circuit design, microwaves, antenna systems, or semiconductor devices and applications. A FIVE YEAR B.A-B.S. program in engineering is also available to provide students with the opportunity to obtain broader education in the arts or sciences while completing the requirements for a degr.e e . in engineering. The department also offers two year academic programs in aeronautics engineering, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. Upon _c ompletion of the second year studentsin these programs may transfer- to the junior year at other engineering schools. . . . F or the students pa r tic1patmg in these various engineering progra ms, Nejib stated that in spite of the rigorous. cur~icula, " the fundamental thmg 1s not that you have to work at it--you have to like it~-other wise you cannot survive." THE WILKES engineering depar tment is growing (20-25 percent increase in majors over last year) and is working strongly with neighboring industries and government agencies. The department is seeking accredidation next fall and the outlook is optimistic.

A sma ll but talented group of players could make this year's per formance even better than the history-making one of last season. After turning in their first winning effort ever in 1977-78, the Colonelettes lost onl y t1Vo to gra duation and this season looked very promising. But then, the loss of a key player a nd the indecision of a few oth ers thr eatened to dampen both the perform a nce and the spirit of the r emaining m embers. However, three fine freshmen appeared, more people began to come to practice, a fine scrimmage performance was turned in, a nd now it seems that the Blue and Gold are ready pysically and mentally. Standouts Dia ne Kendig, la st yea r's high scorer, and Mary Jo Frail, the tea m' s playmaker, have returned, along with co-captains Na ncy J ohnson a nd Debbie Yedlock, Sue Freda, Lynn Yedlock and Doreen Swiatek. Freshme n Kathy McHale, Mary Jean Farrell and Beth Leandri are all very pr om ising newcomers, and upperclassmen Mary Kay Price and Pat Par ave nti will also be assets. Again, lack of height will be a problem ( as it always is), but Coach Sandy Bloomberg expects tha t the quickness of the players will make up for that deficiency. " We' ll just ha ve to develop a r unning game," she said, "and take adva ntage of our strengths." Th e team itself is small in num her s, but la r ge in talent. Depth will be a problem only if injuries attack, and fortu nately all 12 players show a lot of promise, with nearly every one capable of starting. "I'm really looking forward to beginning this season, because I think we'll have a fa ntastic year," comm ented Coach Bloomberg. " This is the most aggressive defensive team I' ve ever seen on a Wilkes court." Adm itting that things got off to a slow start due to night classes a nd hoc key season, the coach nevertheless asserted that "we will be ready for the fi rst game. We need a little more organization on offense, but we' ll be working on that in the next few weeks. Also, we have two tough scrimmages coming up, which shou ld be very beneficial to us. " Comm enting on the team' s first effort against another team (a scrim mage with Lehigh University, a str ong team .in the East), she noted that the scrimm age "showed us our weak spots, but I also think we played really well. I wa s definitely pleased wit~ the performance." Wilkes more than held its own in that game, outscoring Lehigh in the fi r st ha lf of the workout. Defensively the team was aggressive and quick and a number of individuals turned in fine performances, including the fres hmen. Coac hes Bloomberg a nd Sharon Wilkes will have no problem fiel ding a good tea m . Kendig, last year's MVP , will pr ovide much of the scoring punch, along -with Frail, the fe male "Athlete of the Year. " Frail wa s the leading assist-making the last two yea rs, while Kendig was also a tough defensive player. J unior Freda, the team' s "Sixth player" la st year, will bring another year of experience with her a nd ca n be counted on to provide a strong performance any ti me. Two fres hm an round out the list of gua rds--Kathy McHale, form er Bishop O' Reilly standout, and Mary Jean Farrell, Meyer 's . 1000- point scorer . Both were impressive in pre-season play. The forwards, although not extremely tall, are still strong and quick. Senior co-captains Debbie Yedlock and Na ncy Johnson will bring two years of collegiate experience to the position, and Lynn Yedloc k will be looking for a r epeat of her fine freshman effort ·two yea r s ago. Freshman Leandri, a Valley West star, shows a lot of potential and should be str ong under the boards. Pat Para venti is _ ex pec ted to pla y aggresive ball and Mary Kay Price will also add to that position arid could be a tough rebounder . Fac ing a 19-game regular season sche.dule, in addition to a winter to urna ment her e a t Wilkes, extra meeting for WBRE's contest, any post-season outings, three scrimmages arid an alumni game, the tea m should play a minimun of 26 gam es this year. Old records are definitely in jeopa rdy, as is last year' s r ecord performance. This coul d be the best yea r yet for wom en' s basketball.

At the Nationals, ther e will be 11 sec tions from a ll over the coun try, in com petition. From 370 girls at the nationals, 36 will be chosen for the United States sq ua d. From the 36, 14 girls will be chosen to r epresent the U.S. in the World Games in Vancouver . If the United States• would finish in the top five in the World Games, then it would be represented in the Olympic Games in Moscow. To shorten things up a bit, there is a slight chance Pam Snyder and J erry Ann Sm ith could be in the Olympic s. Both girls will go down to Penn State on Nov. 18 and 19, where they will practice with Mideast section team on the University Park astro-turf field, which is the sa me type of field which will be used in the Nationals. This will a llow a r e Wilkes girls to enga ge in some top level play as they compete for the Mideast I, II, or III teams. If the girls make the national team, they would be eligible for the U.S. Touring Team, which would participate in International play in Mexico and Trinidad. It is a big step for the girls, Coach Meyers and for women's sports here at Wilkes.

Ross Mantione, a mem ber of the academic com mi ttee, repor ted that the use of afl optical ' scanner . to compile the data will not be free to SG as they had hoped . Mantione investigated into many ar eas and the lowest cost possible to have the form s run through a scanner will be roughly $1400. This spa rked m uch discussion of whether to continue with the evaluation or not. Many repr esentatives stated that they felt the evaluation did not serve any useful purpose and that word-ofmouth was a more effective method. Gar y Toczylowski, IDC president, stated that he would like to . see the money spent on other activities or projects which he feels would benefit the students mor e. Mantione pointed out that if SG voted down appropriating money necessary to complete the evalua tion, that in essence they would · be voting against Del,at ers Earn 7th-place Spot Debate Union continued its success story when it traveled to George Mason University, Fairfax, Va. , to participate in the annual "Great Eastern Forensic 'T' Jurnam ent No. 1."

PHEAA Expanding Loan ProgramforComing Year Nearly $6 million in federal funds ha ve been paid to the state to ena hie expansion of the student loan program through creation of additional guaranties for the coming yea r . The funds were received by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency ( PHEAA) which serves as the guara ntor for the student loan program in the state. Under a new federal law, states that operate under federal rules are able to r eceive more federal money to enhance student loan guaranties. Student loans are a big source of funds for those who attend college and other postsecondary schools and need to augment their source of aid when grants are inadequa te. In 1977, the federal . government allocated $3.9 million to PHEAA for the same purpose of guaranteeing more loans. Exec uti ve Director Kenneth R. Reeher of PHEAA said that PHEAA and other similar state agencies under the new federal law get an administrative cost allowance of one percent on all guaranties and are allowed to retain 30 percent of all monies co l.lected from defaulted accounts. Much of the input for the new federal laws on stude nt loans originated with the P ennsylva nia student loan agency. P rior to law's passage, state fu nds had to be appropriated each yea r to create reserve money to gua r a n- Letter Policy Letters to the editor are welsomed from all interested parties.

Pennsylvania's student loan program has been in operation since 1964 and has guaranteed 931,278 loans worth $1.2 billion up to Oct. 31 of this yea r. In the 1977-78 academic year , PHEAA provided 101,159 guaranties worth $185,228,407. This was the biggest year in the program . However, Reeher predicted an even larger volume this yea r since the new federal law ( Middle Income Student Assistance Act) removes the income ceiling on student loans for federal interests benefits. Every student can obtain a student loan free of interest while enrolled regardless of the student's family income. Reeher said the volume of loans guaranteed contiues to show a sharp rise. The increase in federal funds to PHEAA will let the Agency maintain its reserve and help students to borrow from the state's participating lenders. Private lenders provide the fund s which are a source for the student to get money now by willingly encum bering future earnings to repay when he or she is out of school. Other changes in the federal law were helpful in the administration of state programs and many were the result of input provided by PHEAA staff. These included 100 percent r epayrrlent to state agencies in the cases of death or disability of a student borrower and the exclusion of student loa n funds from bankruptcy action. Another change was the institution of a floating" defa ult ratio whereby the lower a state's default rate the higher the percentage of federal guaranty returned to a state. Due to diligent prevention, pursuit and collection efforts, PHEAA ha s kept the rate of default on students loa ns to under three percent, thus insuring 100 percent reinsurance from the federal government for losses.

PRESENTS A STANLEY KU BRICK PRODUCTION 2001: a space oclyssey KEIR DULLEA . GARY LOCKWOO D STANLEY KU BRICK AND ARTHUR C. CLARKE PRODUCED AND DIREClED BY STANLEY KU BRICK SUPER PAN AVISIO N AND METROCOLO R STAR RING SCREENPLAY BY Saturday at: 7 and 9z30 p.m. in the CPA No smoking (of anything), eating or drinking dur ing th e show · The poetry reading and coffeehouse sponsored by ·the Ma!luscript Society was certaily refreshing. A cordial atmosphere was set by friendly faces and by a candle-lit room. A performer-audience exc hange of talent and ideas highlighted the entire evening. The evening began with a poetry r eading in which the artists and the audience participated in a shared em brace of words. The reader's diction fashioned moods that made me surrender to a voice. I was elevated to laughter and surprise and touched by the humor of the poems. The voice forced me to sink when experiencing the felt thought of solemn, bitter phrases. My heart cringed when hearing descriptions such as "pick the worms off me like stickyy pearls" and "scratch marks burning on my back." I found a distinguished beauty in the phrases: " humming a metal carol," "head bowed against a quiet pillow," and "a river the color of pavement." Sometim es the worth of a poem may be measured by its ability to articulate the simple experience; for this reason, hearing phrases like"c urtain rings rattle" also impresed me. The power of the imagination to relate the personal vision to a larger audience can be felt in the poet's simile: "Wind rushes over the ice like a woman brushing her hair." It was in this way that the varied selections of poetry left an impact upon the a udience. The poetry reading was followed by a "home movie," combined with a sound track that r anged from mystical rhthyms to early 'classic' r ock a nd roll. The m ovie suggested themes of being, foc usi ng on people and constructions. The setting for the movie was the streets of Wilkes-Barre; the idea of stasis and a sense of being froze n in time was conveyed by the use of different camera speeds and a lternating fra mes of black a nf white color. The movie could. perhaps, be categor ized as a surrealistic docum enta r y. Certainly all of us who have walked 'these main streets' have experienced their own symptoms of the ( Wilkes-Bar re) P lague: nausea, the strangersyndrome, and feelings of being and nothingness. · The final performance of the coffeehouse--a dramatic interpretation--allowed me to appr eciate a woven tapestry of words and music. This performa nce wa~ in a sense a microcosm of the whole evening forit emphasized our need to respond, to participate and to react. The coffeehouse was a delight to the searching ear and the attentive eye. Oay Cart Ctnttr Stthlng Statt G ~ To The Editor: I am the founder of the Wilkes College Student-Parents Association, an association dedicated to aiding any students who are also parents in caring for their children while attendmg school. We have found a need for an on-campus child care center and are trying to do something about it. A survey has been drawn up for our purposes under the direction of Miss Linell Lukes h, Exec utive Director of Luzerne County Full Year Head Start Policy Council, Inc . The survey is bemg conducted because our association is trying to obtain a grant from the state to fund the operation of our child care center and possibly the consrtuction of a new buildmg on campus for our center. Without this grant, our center may only remain a need and never become a reality. Sur veys can be obtained at the Hea d Start office, 76 West Northa mpton St. Sincere!_y, Thoma s E.

The heat hasn't let up. There is no respite. There is no help. I can't find distraction--classes are a blur, profs slur into nothingness. Even complaining doesn't help. The normal comfort I get from bitching abo.ut Wilkes-Barre doesn't release this tension. All of us need something upon which we can vent our spleen. For me, this college and town have provided the answer--until now. In the aim of truthfulness I admit that I find little to complain about. But, perhaps, there is one thing. I Love _you Susan, but this town _you come from is driving me nuts. It's not that it's so bad, it's just that some of the things they do here are so stupid. Here I am in the city of Wilkes-Barre where education and community walk arm arid arm and where the town government wants to charge Wilkes College and other similar institutions for their use of town facilities. Can you believe it, Susan? They want to charge Wilkes College for the use of sidewalks, firetrucks and cop cars. They want me to pay for the privilege of having potholes to crash into, tar and cement to step in, $25 parking tickets to fay for, and constables with ornery canines to deal with. I wonder i they'll pay for my recent allignment. These officials are too scared to lay a higher wage tax on the people who live here, so they're going to tax P.eople who don't--students like you and I. Like a friend of mine said, 'It seems they want to slice open the_goose that lays the golden eggs and get the gold without the wait." Wilkes (believe it or not) is that goose, for tney so much more than money to the area. Oh Susan, Susan what's to happen? I lie here helpless ( on my back). I can't sleep ( I can't turn over, either). I dream of you. Oh to be 16 and in love again. Oh to be 20 and frustrated. Do you see the cloud that besets my mind? Why don't I just end it all here, dressed as a deer on the first day of buck season. Maybe, I'll poison myself with kool-aide and ink. Perhaps its the drugs~-too much Dewar' s White Label. You drive me to these thoughts--What?--You never met a man who thoug-ht of town politics while contem).)_lating suicide and lusting a woman'? I know there are none like me. That's what makes me special. What?--You don't find me that SQecial. You don't care. You want someone with his what tog-ether? Oh that. Your leaving. There must be someone else, is there?'You like him. He has muscles. He's in the Mr. Wilkes Contest. So? Oh, I see, he does it better. Good-bye. She left me before I ever had her. Alas, the women I love, love others and keep me as friend. What to be done? Wait! I don't like that. It'stoo sad. We need a happy ending to hold the fantasy. We just can't let reality slip in. This is my column and I can do what!:)ver the hell I please. Let me rewrite that. Turkey Roll Susan, listen, stay here with me and you will have a unique, earth moving experience. You will? Really?

See what yo u missed guy~. But, a lready peopl~ a r e lookmg toward 1979 and tr ymg to see just wha t will happen for the Colonel gridders. Before we look to 1979, lets clean up 1978, an~ announce s?me awards. The Middle Atl3:ntic Conference . announced its all-MAC team and one Colonel made it - soph tailback Carmen Lopresto, who ~as selected by the coaches. It 1s a great honor for '' H~m er'' and nobody deserved 1t more. I really do not know how the captains for next year will be picked, but if my opinion counts, I select Lopresto, he has all the tools to be a great ca ptain. Three Wilkes gridders were na med a s honorable mention to the a ll-MAC team : junior linebac ker Mike Patrick, freshman Bob Luby a nd offensi ve lineman J im Beck, who was picked for the second straight year. The 1979 season, like the 1978 one did, looks bright. The great defense will be back, only losing the Molitoris'. And the offense should be potent, ( something it has not heard of for years( in 1979. Tom Cywinski ha s won himself the starting QB position, and if he does not get hurt hunting; all the time, he will be there for the next three years. Did you get anything on Monday Tom? The offensive bac kfield should be strong with Lopresto a nd Pa ul Kotula k leading the way. The two key holes Coach Rollie Schmidt will have to fill will be at the outside linebacker positions a nd at the kicking game, where Wilkes loses standout Dan Pisarcik to graduation. _ If Schmidt can get the key freshmen recruits, and blend them in with the veterans and there is talk of a new offe'nsive system to be instituted, 1979 can indeed be bright. But didn't some of us loonies pick 1978 to be bri ht. I think 7-1-1 watts bri ht. J ' COLONEL CLASSIC: Boostertickets are now available for the first annual Wilkes College basketball "Colonel Classic" to be held on January 5 and 6 at the Wilkes gym. The tickets are $5.00 apiece and entitles the bearer to admission to all FOUR games and lists his-her name in the program as a· booster. These special tickets will only be on sale for a short while. Tickets can be picked up from any member of the basketball team, Coach Rodger Bearde, or the Public Relations Office on the third floor of Weckesser Hall. Teams entered in the initial classic include: host Wilkes, Philadelphia Pharmacy, Hartwick College, and Slippery Rock State. The Wilkes College men's oa sketball team will open its 1978-79 campaign tonight in Doylestown, Pa., when the Blue and Gold meet Delaware Valley College in a crucial Middle At!antic Conference tilt. Last season, Wilkes met the Aggies twice a nd split, dropping the first game 63-61 and winning the second 75-74 after four overtime periods, so tonight's opener should be a ba rn-burner. After m eeting the Del Val Aggies, the Colonels will play a nother of their 13 MAC games . on Saturday, traveling to Madison, N.J., to take on FDU. Wilkes -~ill be home Monday at 8: 15 agamst East Stroudsburg in a non-conferenc e battle. Come early and get a look at Clarence Ozgo' s jay-vee team. Three days la ter is Pearl Ha rbor Day, and everybody knows what that mea ns. Wilkes is in pretty good shape for tonight's ga me, with no injuries. The Colonels looked awesome a few weeks back in a scrimmage against R ider College, capturing four of the six halves. In the morning's session, Wilkes won the first half a nd dropped the last two, befor e sweeping all three afternoon per iods. Standouts for the Colonels incl uded J ohn Za pko, who else?, a nd Kendall McNeil. Zapko had two in-your-face slam dunks, and Colonel fans will r emember , we did not have a jam all last yea r. McNeil was good offensively, and showed a lot of hustle on defense. Ed Va n Buren, one of the Beacon's own scribes , had an outsta nding performa nce in the final per iod of the day, exploding for 17 points and completely controlling the ac tion. Oter big men chipping in were newcomer Pat Romich, from P ottstown; Dave Ca pin, out of Valley West; J umpin' J oe McCr ea , who r eally com es to play; the vetera n George (Rocky) Oscha l, and the boomer, Kevin J .J . Walker. The guards also looked 1m pressive, as Rick Marshall and Artie ( sweet shootin) Meigh started and did a fine job. Also seeing action were freshmen point guards Pat McCue and Kevin Becker, and you cant beat a better trio of point-guards thatn McCue; Marshall and Becker. Mike McCarrie was his usual self, scoring when called upon and passing off when needed. CCarrie saw a little action at the guard, as did McCrae. A front line of McNeil, Zapko, and McCarrie, mixed with the rebounding of McCrea, is frightening. The other club could not get any rebounds. The Colonels are expected to do well this year, much better tha n last year's 5-18 record. A lot has been said and written, but it does not mean a thing when the first ball is thrown up tonight. Tonight could be the start of something big, a s Steve Allen says. Well, Scranton is up to it again, with their psycho press releases. This year, their the "Gamblin Royals", ready to make a move. The only move I see for them is into Valley Crest. They have lost Irv Johnson for good, and Phil and Paul are gone, which means they are shot. The Royals did manage to get a top freshman recruit in Issac the Gun Gatling, who could be a nother superstar up there, but look for the royals to ha ve an off year this season. _ Now, how about tha t tea m up the street. They a r e getting like Scranton up there. Now King's is ca lling itself, "Casey and the Sunshine Band." I thing King's saw its sun set with the departure of John Leighton ( Graduation) and Mike Morrow ( transfer). _The two Wilkes-King' s games should be great ones, and look for an indepth preview in next week' s Beacon.

This is the first in a two-part process that can lead to accredit.ation by the Com mision on lnstitu• tions of Higher Education. The College is now an• a lyzing its own educational resources and effectiveness by reviewing every major aspect of program, governing and supporting structures, resources and services, and educational outcomes. .. Special Committee A special group of administrators, faculty, ::.nd students has been divided into six committees: Steering; Goa,ls, Outcome, and Program; Students and Student Life; Teaching; Faculty and Govern• ance; and Organizational Resources and Finance. The Steering Committee, chaired by President Robert Ca pin, is charged with the responsibility to plan and o~rsee the entire self-study project. Dr. James Rodechko chairs the Goals, Outcome a nd Program Committee, which is in charge of outlining the philosophical st.ance of Wilkes, while Students and Student Life, headed by Dr. Les Turoczi, is examining the admissions policy and student servic es. The Teaching Committee, led by Dr. Samuel Merrill, is responsible for analyzing the quality of instruction offered at the College. Faculty and Governance, chaired by Dr. David Leach, is exa mining the policies related to faculty em ployment as well as the governance of the institution, and Organizational Resources and Finance, headed by Dr. Andrew Shaw, is reviewing the College's facilities and resources. be_ made in Apri_l, and the complete study will be ed1te_d and submitted to the president in June, and to Middle St.ates in July. A team of experienced academ,ic colleagues from other institutions will visit the campus next fall to eva luate the self-study in light of the facts as they see them , and to give Wilkes their views on the validity of that self-analysis. The Commission then examines the self-study document, the evaluation team's report, and Wilkes' formal response before deciding whether or not to award accredit.ation. Institutions such as Wilkes must undergo this process, which usually lasts at least a year, every ten years. Completion Date June All committees began working in October, and a re required to submit interim reports to the Steering Committee in January. Final reports will Last Accreditation in 1970 The College was last granted accredit.ation in 1970.

The' respective schools have contributing factors that compliment one another; while King' s offers an advanced theater arts major, it· lacks an appropriate facility for stage productions. On the other hand, Wilkes provides only a concentration in Theater Arts, but has available an outst.anding theater complex, the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. The Wilkes Board of Trustees has made a mandate of this cooperative program between the two schools, hoping to a void a duplication of services in this particular curriculum. According to President Capin, unlike many of the other co-op programs between Wilkes and King's, the Theater Arts Department had no significant problems arise in the initial production. A spirit of cooperation was prevalent throughout the event, despite the participation of two different institutions. Since there has been a good attitude in the co-op theater production, the possibility of a cooperative study program in Theater Arts is being considered as an alternative to improving the Wilkes Theater Arts curriculum. This choice would save a large amount of money by reducing the number of instructors needed, although students would have to travel a greater dist.ance to attend classes and may lose some of their identity with Wilkes. A second alternative under consideration, according to President Ca pin, is the separation of the Theater .Arts studies from the English Department. This would ent.ail hiring another professor, thus increasing costs. "Before making the final decision," said President Capin, "I must consider the number of students being serviced and a pply a vailable resources as economically as possible." Barring unusual circ umst.ances, he believes that although he will hire someone for the Theater Arts Department by the fall of 1979, he must rec oncile a declining enrollment with an increasing st.aff. · , Under the present system, a student wishing to pursue a curriculum in Theater Arts must major in English initially, with a concen· tration in Theater Arts. Courses offered in theatrical studies are listed in the Wilkes College Bulletin, but many have not been taught for the past several years. President Capin feels the College should be prepared to actually teach these courses if the school is to in° crease enrollment in the future. He also believes that Wilkes loses a considerable number of applicants due to the lack of an established Theater Arts program. Although this department has a staff of only two (Klaus Holm and Alfred Groh), it will continue to present three or four productions per year. By improving the Theater Arts program, it is hoped that a greater number of productions will be made possible. This is import.ant because it is through the theater that the school est.ablishes a reputation in the public eye. However, although the school's prominence is important, President Capin concluded by asserti ng that the prim ary concern is a quality education for the student.

All committees have adequate chairman who are getting the job done. Homecoming was a big success thanks to Sharon Manganiello and Gerry D' Albis, Home comi ng Co-Chairmen . ( D' Albis didn't hold that title officially, but he did more than enough work to deserve the cre dit.) Everything ran smoothly and fell right into place. The film committee, headed by Ross Mantione, has done a comendable job in presenting a wide selection of films and in dea ling with projectors that break down. Marla Brodsky, social committee chairman, has had a lot to deal with this pastsemester when ·considering the added responsibility given to her committee. Her committee is now in charge of the scheduling of all campus social events but because of some uncooperative orgainizations, parties, or social events end up competing against each other. Other than that Brodsky has high hopes for her committee and I'm sure they will be realized. The publicity and elections . and constitution committees have also completed their jobs successfully. SG Evaluations The academic committee .is definitely the most dedicated and hard working committee on SG and it is determined to get the SG teacher evaluation forms distributed, completed, · and published. This committee, which is headed by Julie Kent, consists of only one other member, Ross Mantione. It has had to deal with keeping the faculty _happy and ·aware of what is going on, seeking printing costs, finding an optical scanner to compile the data from the forms, and nonsupportive students. Even if the evaluation doesn't come off 100 percent successfully the evaluation is important and needed to keep the quality of education here at the College at a high level. Kent deserves a ton of praise Looking over this past semester and trying to fino significant accomplishments made by Student Government is like ·trying to find a needle in a haystack. Very few, if any, steps were taken to bring about cha nges in student life. The problem seems to stem from this year's executive council. Everyone is doing his job at an an acceptable level but that is not enough if SG is to accomplish anything. Steve Kirshner, SG president, rarely gives his opinion on anything and has a hard time keeping order at meetings. It appears that his main . concern is to run meetings quickly. One could say that according to Robert's Rules of Order a president of a body is not to give his opinion. Fine. This point is well-taken, but then Kirshner's problem is that he is obviously not delegating his authority properly. He has to come up with the ideas, goals, and directions of SG and get everyone working. WE know he has the potential to do this--otherwise we wouldn't have endorsed his candidacy-but so far he has shown himself to be not very effective. The rest of the executive council suffers much the same problem. Last year's executive council was a good one no matter what some people might say and accomplished a lot. This year's members are effective to a certain extent but as a whole they simply can't get the ball rolling for SG. Student Government consists of 26 members, but only a handful r eally take the job seriously. As a prime example, Monday night under committee reports, Marla Brodsky was giving her .wrap-up report for the semester for the social. committee.She . complained about the SG members who are on the committee and noted that the non-SG members were much more involved and active. She feels that being an SG represeritative means more than just attending weekly meetings .. .. How true this is. Routine Business As far as handling routine for her work and what makes it even more comendable is that she is not even a member of Student Government. People like her are desperately needed on SG. SG Members The SG body itself is composed mostly of ~tudents who are interested in Wilkes College but a re not willing to put any effort into making it better. This is not the case for all, as certain peopl e stand out and should be mentioned. They in cl ude Greg Black, Mike Barth, Dave Blumfield, Ross Mantione, Marla Brodsky, Joe Galli and Pat McNamara. (The freshmen have not been on the body long enough to make themselves known.) Student Government has got to get going if it wants to accom plish anything. Routine business is just not enough and is not progressive. D I think SG should take a look at its little brother, IDC, who has been lifting weights and is ready to take you on. Jim Edwards BIO FACULTY RETREAT HELD - Faculty members of the Biology Department held its " Second Annual Faculty Retreat" recently, t.o plan department functions and discuss future growth. " The purpose of this retreat," said Chairman Les Turoczi, "was t.o take care of current curricular matters, give faculty members a chance qi gather information and exchange ideas, and t.o plan the future growth of the department." He also commented that decisions pertaining t.o students in the department will be discussed with them . Pictured from left are Biology Department faculty members [first row I : Henry Steuben I preparation supervisor], Charles Reif, Robert Ogren, and Wilbur Hayes. Second row: Clyde Houseknecht, Robert Doty, Les Turoczi, Lou Rigley, and John Erickson. SUB to Install Dance Floor At the last SUB meeting for this semester, a unamimous vote was taken by the board to install a dance floor on the firsHloor of the building. The floor is being installed by Nigel Gray and Tony D. at no cost to the SUB except for the finishing materials such as molding varnish. If the floor cannot be refinished, the SUB will either have linoleum installed or else purchase a portable floor which could be put up when needed. Whatever choice is made, the floor will be finished by the start of next semester for future parties held in the SUB. Director Bob Austin made it very clear that all refunds from machines will be available up to and including Thursday, Decem ber 7, with no refunds being given after this date. These refunds will not carry over until next semester, so students should pick them up as soon as possible. He also stated that many lost items such as jackets and keys a r e still in the SUB office. Austin continued that many items which students believe to be stolen could, in fact, have been left at a SUB party. He stressed that anyone missing articles should check with the SUB office or contact him at 826-0303. Patti Spatlow Peter Steve Gateway S....,..lng Center Kingston, Pa . 11704 211-1132 lllatNn.

According to many "returning" students, this year's IDC has demonstrated a "marked improvement" in the efficiency and responsiveness of fulfilling dorm students needs as well as initiating and supporting student related activities and poli<;ies. Says one R.A "this year' s IDC is so much better than before." Much of the credit for IDC's success thus far in the year deserves to go to IDC president Gary Toczylowski. Gary's unrelenting involvement in all a spects of student affairs along with his effective leadership has provoked a general increase in student sensitivity towards the Wilkes College community. He, · however , insists that " better communication" between IDC and the Housing Office has played an essential role in its success and acknowledges that IDC could never have been effective during the semester if it weren't for Housing Director Joe Marchetti.

I hope the administrative side of our Wilkes College Family can see the savings of energy, and its expe nse · as insignificant in contrast to the opportunity it affords it's students. While I accept that the cost of keeping SLC lit for all hours must be phenomenal, so is the need for a n after hours place to study. This is evidenced by the fact that many nights in all of Stark an empty room cannot be found . With rega rd to the mess, I'm sorry to admit that occasion I've been less than tidy. ( While hardly reck less, I do tend to tard and spaz when finalizing.) Now with suc h an a lternative spelled out for us, ie. Stark .vs. no Stark, I hope we can all appriciate and respect the privledge allowed us there. Thank You Justin Schiess Barker Lauded; Loss Observed To the Editor: I know I speak for many when I say I regret to hea r the news of the resignation of Doris Barker.

Phone: I ( from page 1) �········Pinball Now a Wilkes Craze••····· CC Analysis Once upon a time, pinball was a tacky game played by punks who hung out in seedy luncheonettes. Now it's a game for everyone. Machines are everywhere, including the Wilkes Student Union Building. Modernization of the sport includes computerized music selections, ramps and tunnels, double flippers, and all sorts of fancy gizmos designed to challenge even the most seasoned addicts. Psychologists claim the resurgence of pinball in the American society is due to increasing tension caused by the fast pace of the American lifestyle. Pinball is a form of relxation everyage group can enjoy. In any of its many forms, tht· game is fairly simple. The OJ►. erator has control of at least two flippers which are used to prevent the ball f-rom leaving the enclosed playing area. The thrill of being able to hit the ball in the direction of any of the electronic bumpers far surpasses the actual accumulation of points, although this is an important part of the game. The newest aspect of pinball has been the identification with well-known personalities,.. After rock singer Elton John played the role of the Pinball Wizard in the movie version of "Tommy," Bally, the largest pinball manufacturer, named a machine after him--Captain Fantastic. It has since become the biggest-selling machine in the country. Bally also plans to dedicate a machine to Hugh Hefner, the famous ·' Playboy" publisher. The craze is spreading to such a degree that parents are beginning to buy machines for their children, although the price of one machine can range from $000 for a home model to $1600 for a top-of-the-line machine. In some cases it seems to be a family's only common ground.

The pinball machines can be heard ringing day and night, between classes [ and during classes], at lunch, and during SUB parties. on one of the eight available machines. It matters not whether one commutes or lives on campus; the machine makes no distinction. It is a balance -between gentleness and aggression, a nd if one lacks this touch, the machine has him beat. Oh, but what a high when you beat the machine! To hear the machine click off extra games is like music to the ears or money in the bank. Take your choice. Adult toys are what these machines are being called these days. Who would spend that kind of money for a kid? So, all of you "adults" out there, come and take out your frustrations on the little silver ball. Relax, unwind, but be careful. Too much aggression and you'll end up with the "TILT" message.

Early in the semester the council had a juke box installed in the Commons in response to requests to have some music in the building. They also sponsored several parties and events to help give the students some type of release from the pressures of college life. The council worked hard in the planning and execution of these events and put a great deal of time and effort toward making them enjoya hie for the students. The first all-Wilkes showing of "The Rocky Horror Show" was a success and was one of several events planned by CC, which did not serve alcoholic beverages. I beUeve that such events are a good· idea as they provide other outlets for enjoyment other drinking. However, I have heard many people complain that the council has not done "this or that." The fact is that CC is there to help you, the students, and you are the ones who must show them what you would like done. Any problems or ideas concerning the college should be brought to the council's atten- Pa rki ng Permits To be Reviewed W...,_~ DD[S ,H~ AAO\A1"0R... jiART Cl-At\l'J"'E, \f.1\-\E~E.\lf!Z... :I 1M TR.VIN<, TO 'WOR."~ M . ..

If students are pleased - or displeased - with the workings of CC they should let the council know their feelings. I believe that the council is as good as the students make it, and it cannot help to solve probl1ms that are not brought to its attention . In my opinion CC has done a good job this semester, and with the student's help they can do an even better job next semester.

Tourney J-V Team Helps Women to Title Although much success has fallen upon the Wilkes field hockey team of 1978, there a r e some girls who have not gotten the attention they deserve. This is the jay-vee unit of the 8-4-4 Wilkes team . They are not given adequate tim~ to practice togethe r a nd the games they play are just for experience. They receive no headlines, but their hard work a nd determination is seen by Coach Meyers and the rest of the -squad. The ja y- vee hockey squad is pictured above. Both Pam Snyder and Jerry Ann Smith are back from national s, and· both performed well, in representing Wilkes. Pam played in five games and tallied a goal in the last one, and many field hockey experts felt out there, tha t if she had a little more speed, she could be a great one. Jerry Ann also played well and scored two goals in six games. She showed · the hustle that she is known for and it was noted that she just missed being picked to go on in the event. I'd like to take time to thank Coach Meyers for helping me all semester and wish her and her team the best of luck in the . future. Keep Smilin! ! ! Simon Kazinetz Women C·agers W-in First': · Face King's Today at 4 Women's basketball opened its sea son with two routs ( being the victim in one and the pei_:petrator in the other) , and one hard-fought, down-to-the-wire defeat. The result is a 1-2 record and a crucial ni'eeting with King's this afternoon. The season opener with powerhouse Lafayette was a frustrating 99-46 defeat, as Wilkes was simply outclassed. Although the cagers held an early lead, Lafayette soon took control and had relatively little trouble putting the game away. Diane Kendig, Sue Freda and Mary Jo Frail all turned in double figures, with 12, 10 and 10 points respectively, but rebounds were hard to come by, as Lafayette boasted three six-; foote r s. Wilkes also saw the loss of freshman guard. Mary Jean Farrell, who injured an ankle at the end of a successful fast break. Farrell may have activated a previous injury a nd is now in a cast for the remainder of the first half at lea st. Saturday marked the home opener for the Blue .arrd Gold, who played as underdogs to Franklin and Marshall.

F&M's big girl exploded for 16 points and Wilkes seemed to run out of steam and made some costly mistakes at all the wrong times. F&M took the lead with about six minutes to go, and held off a desperate Wilkes come-back attern pt. With 21 seconds remaining, F&M led 62-61 and had the ball at half-court. Wilkes tried for the steal before fouling and sending Kathy Ward to the line, where she sank both shots of the 1 and 1 situation with four seconds left. F &M won 64-61. Tuesday the Blue and Gold entertained Baptist Bible and avenged its rout by Lafayette, crushing BBC 93-35. The cagers had no problem that night and scored and stole the ball almost at will. They a lso refused to run up the score and thus did not try for 100 points. Everyone scored and five •players hit double figures: Kathy McHale, 18; Kendig, 16; Lynn Yedloc.k, 15, Frail, 14; and Freda, 12. McHale, a freshman, appeared to gel against BBC, hitting her patented outside shot and snaring several offensive rebounds. Debbie Yedlock emerged as high r ebounder , pulling down 11, as Wilkes dominated the boards with 34 bounds, compared to RRC's 24. Again the defense was responsible for a number of st eals and fast breaks. Overall, it was a good way to come back fr om two defea ts and earn the first win of the season.

Vilma Hurst PRIDE is the best word to describe the innaugural week of wrestling, as Pope John Reese, asst. Tim McGinley, and the Colonel grapplers appear to be upholding the espirit d' corps of the fine wrestling tradition at Wilkes. "Pope John" and "Father Tim" led the Blue and Gold grapplers to a 48-0 whitewash over York College for the 1978-79 debut last Thursday at York. The Colonels then traveled to S.U.N.Y. at Binghamton and captured team laurels for the fourth straight year. Our Colonels amassed 120.75 points and crowned nine individual champions enroute to the team trophy. Cornell University finished in the runner-up spot with 53. 75 points. Binghamton was third, and Virginia fourth. The finals looked like a dual meet, with Wilkes in one corner, and "them" in the other. The Binghamton event was a good warm-up for the tough dual season ahead for Wilkes wrestlers. Leading the way for the Colonels was junior Ed "Clancy" Johnson at 118 lbs. Johnson decisioned Ron Keene of Cornell 4-1 to successfully defend his title. Frosh Pete Poggi grabbed the t hird spot in the 118 bracket. Poggi a lso won his first collegiate dual meet with a 9-6 victory. Soph Bryan Billig had an exceptional tourney, winning first and improving on last season's fourth. Billig wrestled his toughest bout in the finals, as he edged Virginia's Steve Silverburg, a nationally ranked wrestler. Billig recorded a fall in the York encounter. Gene Waas, frosh, did a fine job and outdistanced Binghamton veteran Steve Darling 13-10 in the finals at 134. Waas is surprising everyone, and won his first dual by a fall. Billy Dodge and Tony Wells had a tough day at S.U.N.Y. Dodge bowed to eventual runner-up Silverburg 7-6 and Wells dropped a hard fought battle to Cornell's Nigham . Co-captains Casper Tortella a nd Alex Grohol were first and second respectively at Bing. Tortella turned back Cornell's ace wrestler Gene Nigham 13-5. Casper reached the finals on a pin in 1: 22 and a 8-1 decision. He also collected a 15-2 superior decision at York. Yearling George Cherrie stepped into the 150 lb. bracket like a seasoned veteran and has a 3-1 record to date. Cherrie does not use a lot of fancy moves, but gets the job done. He squeezed out a 3-2 qec. oyer York's senior wrestler and pla ced · second at Bing. Another· frosh, Joey Zabatta, has been pushing Cherrie for the 150 lb. dutie and captured third in the tourney. Mark Dens berger is taking care of 158 lh. ~ pnt with his agressiveness and colorful moves. Densberger's style is similiar to former Wilkes great Jim Weisenfluh. He always manages to get in precarious situations and still come out on top. Last week Densberger handed York a 8-2 verdict and then won top honors in the tourney. Densber'ger put manners on Bing. ca pt. Ron Reedy 18-6 in the final round. The Wilkesman did everything but throw Reedy out of the gym. Wilkes other 158 entry Pat Kelley knotched fourth place. Denny "Dump" Jacobs is not undefeated, ~ut all four victories are via falls. "Jake" clamped a real "muscleman" at York a nd proceeded in showi ng the lights to three adversaries at S.U.N.Y. Jacobs is not far away from putting a patent on his fireman' s carry and dump series. Soph Dan Miner wrestled to a third place finish at the same bracket. Bart Cook usually wrestles like a surgeon and methodically takes his opponents apart. " Dr." Cook was crowned the 177 champ at -Bing. Cook had his hands full in the finals, as he edged Cornell's Chris Rugg 12-11. Cook also qualified for the finals by a decision and a pin. Frosh Rick Gaetano wrestled to a 8-0 major dee. at York a nd captured fourth in the tough 177 class at Bing. Rick Smith has come on strong and won the championship by decisioning Mark Serrutto of Virginia. Erik Schnieder came in third in the competition at Bing. Hwt. Danny House successfully defended his title. Bob Matzelle was runner-up. Both Smith and Matzelle were victorious at York. The Wilkes squad was expected to tangle with the Lehigh Engineers last night at the Wilkes gym. If our Colonels pulled that one off, they may get a national ranking, since t~e Behtlehem team is currently rated 6th inthe country. The Wilkesmen will then take the road to Anapolis, Md, to take on Navy, Yale and North Carolina in a quad event. After a Dec. 11 encounter with Tennessee at the Wilkes Gym, the Colonels will be idle until the Wilkes Open on Dec. 28-29. The match-up between the Volunteers will be the last home match before the semester ends, so get there early. The final outcome with Tenn. last winter was 18-18, so it should be a close one. The grapplers will attempt to make a better showing in the Wilkes Open than last year. If ther e is a better turnout, as · expected, ther e should be a better showing. Mike Kassab was · the last Wilkes wrestler to place in the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" in 1974.

Th e 78er s, led by Lolrenzo Alston, a nd Joint Effort, a gang of frustrated tacklers, will be giving teams a helluva lot of trouble. Rounding out the division are Up in Smoke and the Priapus Doobers. What can be said about Up in Smoke, they are a fragment of last year's champs, but who knows, with a little luck ... The Priapus Doobers feel high't is the key to victory with giants Don " Traitor" Patrick a nd Godfather Scarcela. There looks to be many good games this season in Division A so pick up a schedule and go see some real good B-ball. Next issue, we will have a look at the rugged B Division.

Conygnham Building, on South River Stree between the Annette Evans Faculty House and the Congynham f;i.cade, wa~ donated to the college two years ago. Until now it has stood vacant and unused, and at first was in danger of being razed. r, ANewLife However, the college's $2.4 million Alpha campaign has given the building new life, since the provision of a new Student Union Building is one of the campaign's major goals. Originally the new SUB facilities were to be constructed in the Carriage House behind the Conyngham Building. -But, according to President Robert Ca pin, the college architect,,--looked at the campus land use and felt that the Carriage House was located in such a manner that it would block a proposed "greenway" in the overall campus picture, especially if a new women's dorm were constructed on Northampton Street. Thinking of long-range college plans, the architect and administration felt that the Conyngham Building would be a better asset to the college, since it is a major structure on South River Street, has enormous architectural appeal, and is already an integral part of the campus. On the other hand, the Carriage House is "buried." Two Plans Proposed The architect was given permission to see if the program planned for the Carriage Houst was a physically and economically viable one for the main building. He came up with two plans--one involving an addition to the building and the second making use only of the available space, but providing for possible future growth. The first was deemed cost-prohibitive, but the second was 1pproved by the Board. (Floor plans for the project are on p. ·2.) The project cost is expected to be approximately $350,000. A $100,000 grant obtained via the Alpha campaign from the Pew Foundation ( specifically · the Glenmede Trust, originating from th~ Sun Oil Co.) is already in hand and $50,000 in pledges Registrar Opts Not to Resign In a supl\'ise announcement, President .Robert S.

Barker handed m her resignation at the erid of last semester to be effective in N{ay. She cited her reasons as personal. When asked " ·hy Barker changed her mind she said that President Capin had asked her to stay on. She will take the s~mmer off but has agreed to c~me back next year. Whether or not she will resign after next year is not known. "I just love Wilkes College." said Barker, but added "I myself need to take some time off." She noted that she really enjoys most of the students and when asked if she would stay on as Student Government advisor next year she said "If they ask me I'd be happy to because I enjoy it." Barker's duties as Registrar include the scheduling and registration of all classes, the scheduling of finals, and to see that all gra'd uating students fullfill their requirements. · Jim Edwards Thirty-four.seniors have achieved national recognition by being selected to "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges" according to George Ralston, Pean of Student Affairs.

Jan. 1, • Feb. 4, 1979 sat urdays 10·5 . sundays 1-5 d aily 1-5 th ursdays 6·9 Faculty contract renewals became an issue over semester break, as it was revealed that both Wilkes basketball coaches . have not been rehired. Coaches Rodger Bearde and Sandra Bloom berg, both assistant professors of physical education and hygiene, · were. informed in December that their contracts would not be renewed for 1979-80 due to tenure decisions. According to President Robert Capin, most non-tenured faculty members come up for contract renewal each year before December 15, the date when all contract decisions must be made. Department chairmen are normally contacted before that date and asked to review budgets, faculty, and student enrollment. Tenure a Fact.or "In reviewing contract renewals," said Capin, "timing for tenure decisions must be considered. You must say to yourself that one thing to consider is the number of people in their sixth, seventh, or eighth year who are subject to contract renewal according to Wilkes College policy. Is it fair to the person and the institution to continue their employment and then tell them they can't have tenure?" He claimed that Wilkes tries to make a tenure decision before a faculty member goes beyond the seventh year of employment. ( Wilkes is currently censured by the American Association of University Professors ( AAUP), reportedly because has allowed people to remain at the college longer than seven years without having tenure.) · Considerations Listed When a person is up for review prior to contract renewal, according to the president, the following points must be considered: L What are the needs of the institution in the department... 2. What is the future enrollment pattern ... 3. What is the percentage of tenured faculty members in the department.. . "If a person has been here for, say ten years," Capin commente'd, "and his chances of getting tenure are nill, it is in the best interest of the individual to say, 'maybe the time is now for you to make a new life for yourself." · Reportedly this was the situation faced by both Bearde and Bloomberg, who had eight and seven years of employment behind them . Capin noted that although a tenure decision for them may have been three or four years down the road, the fact that they have already been at Wilkes at least seven years complicates the issue for them, and agencies such as · 20 fh T raph y 1n • .Md.-- ~tr;_.

Review Required Although the procedure for evaluating faculty members up for tenure involves action by the department chairman, tenure and promotion committee, academic dean, president, faculty member, and ultimately, the board of trustees, contract renewal evaluation involves only a department chairman!s review and consultation with the administration to discuss college needs, economy, and faculty qualifications. · According to Capin, the department chairman is "required to sit down with _the faculty member to review his evaluation and recommendation. The faculty member _must initial the form and can disagree with the review and attach an addendum ." · Was it Signed? Athletic Director John Reese confirmed that he must com plete a written review and have it signed by the faculty member. However, both Bearde and Bloomberg say they never even saw the evaluation, much less signed it. In comm enting on the general situation, Reese indica ted that he felt "the timing was really terrible for the coaches and the teams." He said he regretted that the decision was made public nea.._. the beginning of the basketball season, and also emphasized that the decision was simply an unfortunate combination of conflicting tenure policies and economics, and had nothing to do with performanc e. "All done fine jobs" "They've all done fine jobs/' commented Reese. "We are very much ·pleased with all of them. I'd just as soon have all three ( Bearde, Bloom berg, and Gay Meyers) tenured, but that wa's n' t possible." ( Meyers has beenrecommended for tenure.) As for the future of the basketball program as it pertains to the coaches, Reese said, ",We'll have to play it by ear. Hopefully we'll be able to hire two full-time people. If not, we'll have to go to part-time coaches, which I don't think is fair to the kids or good for the program." . Wilma Hurst Nursing Parking Permits Create Problem for JDC IDC' s first meeting of the new semester saw a continuation in the discussion of the ever-present Wilkes College parking prob-- · !ems. Nursing majors seeking parking permits are the biggest problem because of the large number of permits they are requesting.

February 16 is the date set for the annual Valentines Party, whic.h is being sponsored by IDC and CC. One issue discussed was whether the event should be held on or off campus. Since capacity at most places off-campus is usually limited to 500 people, a suggestion was made fo have the party in the gym, which can easily hold a majority of the student population. IDC is also checking out th.e possibility of a " bring-your-ownbottle" affair, but college rules state that alcohol is not allowed in "academic buildings." The question is wh ether or not the gym is considered a n academic building. According to IDC, a majority of the students polled by the Co-ed committee a re in favor of co-educationa l dorm s.

Conference for Research Students Beacoa Will Tackle Tenure Issue To the editor: We are writing in reference to the Eastern Colleges Science Conference which is held every year during the Spring semester. This conference gives students who have done research in the science fields a chance to present their findings in the form of seminars. The seminars are scheduled over a three day period - the length of the conference. This year the conference will be held at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, on March 29, 3>, and 3L We are hopeful that a delegation might be sent from Wilkes College consisting of students who are interested in observing the activities, although not presenting seminars. In this way, we may provide support for our own representatives presenting their research, while being able to get first-hand look at the kinds of research being done at our neighboring colleges and universities. The cost per person will be approximately $25. Anyone with questions about the conference itself should see their department chairperson for more information.

Second, enrollment is dropping. Whether or not these two factors are related is up to you to decide. However, I'm sure everyone will agree that an improved social life couldn't hurt· enrollment. We'll begin our examination with a look at dormitory life. Once again a few facts emerge. These facts, by the way, are looked upon as serious problems by both administrative and student leaders. First off, there is the problem of a lack of pride in the dormitory in which a student resides. I should mention that these problems are for the most part characteristic of the men's dormitories. Second, there is the problem of destruction and a lack of cleanliness in the dorms. The third, and perhaps most important problem lies in the abscence of " togetherness" in the halls. Seldom does a dorm function truly as a group, since most students look at their residence hall as merely a place to live. It has ·gotten to the point where R .A's are required to conduct a set number of social · functions between dorms in an effort to alleviate some of the problem. Some of you, in a true moment of insight, may have already guessed my proposed solution to these problems. Fraternities. Already I can sense the echoes of "can't be done" . echoing through administrative halls. I'm sure that the idea could present a few problems in the beginning. But, I sincerely believe that the benefits of such a n idea would far outweigh any of the problems. Since I've already gotten pretty far into this week' s article, I'll save an examination of the fraternity idea for next week. Let's leave this week with the idea that dormitory life is a problem for which fraternities may be the solution.

Nationally_ Known Poet To Give Reading Of Works Robert Bly, nationally known poet and winner of the National Book Award, will visit the campus this Monday, January 29th, to meet with students and give a public reading from his works. The reading takes place a t 8: 30 P.M. in SLC 101. The special power of Bly' s poetry opens new lines of communication between the " outward man" a nd the " inward man." In his book The Light Around the Body, Bly quotes the m ystic· J a kob tloehm e--" according to the outward man, we are in this world, and according to the inward man, we are in the inward world.. . Since then we are generated out of both worlds, we speak in two languages and we must be understood also by two languages." Bly's poetry speaks both languages. The inward world and the outward world involve one another in supervising ways. Bly moves from vivid, realistic descriptions of the natural world, to intense, spiritu'al, sometimes surreal visions of inner being. Ordinary things reveal their s piritual life in Bly' s new world.

Colonel Cla ssic" basketball tourney held over the break. Wilkes downed Pharmacy in a close game and advanced to the finals, only to fall to power Hartwick College. On the right for Wilkes is soph Mike McCarrie. who was named to the All-Tourney team. ( SPORTFOLIO .... JOHN ZAPKO Everytime Wilkes plays a basketball game, John Zapko's name is plastered all over the sports pages. So why write another article about him? The answer is so simple that many people tend to overlook it. Although, we have watched John Zapko play excellent ball for over three years now, no one ever took the time to tell us what John was like as a person. His stats tell us he is one of Wilkes's top players this season and maybe ever. But they neglect to tell us ·what makes him tick, what he thinks and feels. John lives in Fairless Hills, Pa., which is on the north-east side of Philadelphia. His decision to come to Wilkes was based opn several reasons. First, his high school was very large with his graduating class numbering 1,200. The college's small size appealed very much to him and the financial help, little as it may be, from basketball, helped ,defray the costs a bit. Last but not least; John was very impressed by the helping attitude shown by those he came in contact with during his visit. John started out as a biology major, but changed to business administration after finding out he did not like all the work. Being a senior, John anticipates getting out, but as with any other · senior, is not sure just what he will be doing. If nothing else comes up, he might be able to enter a management training program at the steel.mill where his father works. John's personality is what you would call low-key. He likes to spend time enjoying the company of his good . friends, but besides that, he does not get involved in many clubs or organizations. He says, "Being active in campus affairs is up to the individual. Some pe~ple join student government because they see things that can be changed. I say let them change what they want, but that sort of thing is not for me." ) John does not think the college has changed that much in the four years he has been here except maybe concerning · the types of parties. " When I was a freshman," he says, " par ties were all over the campus. E very dorm had their little party. Now, . they have become more centralized with everybody going to the same one." I asked John what does he see himself doing ten years from now. "I guess by then I'll be married with two or three kids. I hope I have the kind of job that will enable me and my family to live in comfort. I guess I have the typical middle class desires, as long as there is lots of old fashion love around." What advice would you give a freshman? "I see lots of people drop out of school because they want to go everywhere. They get - influenced by crazy thoughts of other people. The biggest thing would be to do your own thing and not follow others for the sake of something to do. Avoid groups that do not do anything except party. College_ means_ getting good grades as well as having a good time. Do not complain about having too much . work to do, just face it and do it." To finish up let me say this. Sports is playing a larger role in all most everyone's life these days. It is a shame but it has come to the point that some athletes center their entire life around a certain sport. They lose perspective of what their real personality is and their sports behavior. The sad part about this is that once their athletfc days are over their field manners can not blend into social settings. Why bring this up? Because it is a pleasure to see an athlete, no matter how good he is, to be able to keep a proper perspective about sports and life in general. John Zapko is such a person. -The more power to him.

Billig,Densberger Most Impressive The Wilkes College wrestling team carried an 8-4 record into the big Penn State meet this past Tuesday. If the Wilkesmen came home from State College at 9-4 it's "Fantastic," but if their 8-5 it should be accepted. Needless to say Penn State i! bigger than Wilkes; but on the mats - it is a toss-up. It would probably be on the football field too. Last year, PSU turned back the upset-minded Colonels 30-6, but the grapplers had vengence on their minds this season. To be competing with Penn State is a victory in itself for WIikes College and John Reese. The 26-year mentor is a 1951 grad of Penn State and has built the Wilkes mat program to what it is today. The Wilkes team creeped into the MAC in the 1946-47 season and arose to be champs in 1957. Several titles and accomplishments later, Reese left the small-time to go Divison I and now is able to contend with some schools like Penn State. Wilkes has picked up wins over over York 48-0, Yale 23-17, Navy 21-19, Tennessee 29-18, Boston University 34-6, Del Val 35-15, Montclair 23-11, and South. tonn. 26-18, this season, while falling to Lehigh 29-10, North Carolina 18-17, Clemson 2'2--20, and Syracuse 27-15. · Two Colonel wrestlers have already passed major milestones and it's only mid-.season. Bryan Billig, a soph from New Tripoli, Pa., defeated an NCAA and national freestyle · champion in Montclair's Ken Mallory. The Blue and Gold stalwart not only upset the 134-pound stud, but he also caused him to stall. Mallory wrestled Billig's type match and the Wil_k esman proved his "Back-yard Style" was best. Billig carried a 11-2 slate into the Penn State match. Colonel 158 pound grappler Mark Densberger, Danville, is currently the only Wilkes grappler with an undefeated record and he received national rankings of 8th and 7th respectively in the past two editions of ' Amateur Wrestling News. Mark has a 12-0-1 slate and leads the team in points with 41. Wilkes co-captains Casper Tortella and Alex Grohol have beeri wrestling backj to back at 142 and 150 pounds. Tortella shows a 10-1 record with his only loss coming to Syracuse's Tim Catalfo, who Tortella had beaten before. Grohol is 10-1-1 and his consistency has helped the Colonels to victory many times. Rick Smith, a junior from Walden, Vt., is Wilkes strong 190 pounder and recently dropped to 177 class since Bart Cook was having trouble making weight. Cook a junior from N.J., has been troubled with an elbow injury. Reese hopes to have Cook back before February so he can get some matches under his belt before Easterns. Smith is 10-4 and adds to the Colonel strong finale along with post-grad Danny House at heavyweight. House is 10-2 and will be shooting for a place-finish in the top three in the EIWA tourney next month. . Todd Ferrara, a freshman from Farmingdale, N.Y. has been wrestling in the 118 pound category for the injured Ed Johnson. The Colonel yearling has been doing a respectable job, better than his 2-4 slate· indicates. Johnson is expected back for the Lycoming meet Saturday. Bill Dodge, a soph from Va., was wrestling behind Billig, but since Billig moved up . to 134, Dodge has seen some action. He was undefeated in three varsity meets. Gene Waas, another top freshman, is 5-2-2. Also wrestling at 134 and winning two of them was junior Bob Gaetano of Mt. Top. Dan Miner and Joe Gray are doing the job at 167. Gray is 1-1 and freshman Rick Gaetano is 5-5 at the 177 spot. Several All-Americans from across the nation were among the 366 contestants which turned out for the prestigious Rose Bowl of Wrestling held at the Wilkes Gym on Dec. 28 and 29. Clarion State waltzed away with it's seventh straight team title, amassing 73.5 points and crowning two individual champs. Only two ·Blue and Gold matmen were plac·e winners in the most competitive event of the decade. Mark Densberger took fourth in the 158, while Dan House took third at HWT. Densberger faced All-American and returning champ Bill Smith of Morgan State and fell short of a 6-4 bout, due to a takedown with one second left. House posted a 9-6 decision in the consolations. Wilkes will host Elizabethtown at 8: 00 at the Wilkes Gym tonight and then travel to Lycoming eollege Saturday. The Colonels are favored in both meets, but the squads are Division III. Looking ah~ad, Binghamton State will be in town on Wednesday, Jan. 31 at 8: 00.

The women's basketball team could almost adopt it as its theme song, for it sure tells the story of the perplexing prob!ems plaguing players. Not that the Blue and Gold haven't been winning. Their record currently stands at 5-4, and •includes some impressive wins. The bad luck has to do with players--or ratJ\.er, the lack of them. Coach Sand Bloomberg ' ' · her the three have helped fill the gaps left by Farrell, McHale, and Freda. . The Colonel's offensive punch thus far this season has been either explosive or non-existent, and Coach Bloomberg is looking for continuity and fluidity. As the players again become acquainted with one another's style and depth ceases to be a prob!em, that should come. Already offense is looking better, and the cagers were actually applauded for their outstanding passing exhibition in a recent game. Defense has been fairly strong, especially with the quickness of the guards, and although the Colonels are not blessed with height, the forwards ui,ually hold their own or do better when it comes to rebounding. The "Board Sisters," . Debbie and Lynn Yedlock have been the leading rebounders, and Lynn especially has come on during the past few games. Since the last issue in Decemher, the cagers defeated Marywood 72-67 at the losers' court. Mary Lynne Dreibelbis, wearing Wilkes basketball ·u niform for UP FOR TWO--Mary Jo Frail, the tallest player on the team, has been converted to a part-time forward and has an effeciive shot from wing or top of the key. Lynn Yedlock I43] is the team's leading rebounder, while Freshman Kathy McHale I51] started out as a starter, but is now sidelined after an appen- Blue & Gold Swi01mers dect,omy. Looking for First Win The Wilkes College swimming team is still in search for its first win of the season. The tank team· most recently fell to Swarthmore 55-47 at the King's College swimming complex. In the close meet, which was the first between Wilkes and Swarthmore, there were many highlights for our Colonels. Perry Lichtinger and Valarie VanDyke placed first and second in both the required and optional diving events. Team captain Jim Edwards placed first in the 200 yard breaststroke with a time of 2: 47.4. Freshman Michelle Maguire, out of Meyers High took a first in the 200 yard butterfly with a clocking--of 2:31.1. ' Edwards also placed second in both the 200 free and 100 yard freestyle events. Another first place finish was scored by the 400 yard freestyle relay team of Liz Hendrixson, Claire Holden, Megan Caverly, and Alan Shaw. Scoring additional points for Wilkes were Rob Doty in the 200 individual medley, John Moffatt in the 200 yard backstroke, and Michele Maguire in the 500 freestyle. The Wilkes swimmers will travel to Western Maryland on Saturday and then to Williamsport to meet Lycoming on Feb. 3. The next home meet will be with the Monarchs of King's College on Feb. 7 at 7: 00 at thP. North Main Street pool. has seen enough ot spramed 'ankles, broken ankles, pulled muscles, emergency appendectomies, and even broken noses to last a lifetime. Three key players are sidelined with various and sundry injuries just when the team is entering the heart of the season. Mary Jean Farrell has been out since the opening game, Kathy McHale may be out all season, and Sue Freda is inactive as well. All three are guards, the one p~sition that had a wealth of depth at the beginning of the season. Fortunately, there is some good news. Three new players, including a highly-recruited 1000-point scorer, have been added, and all are contributing to the team effort. Freshman Ellie Adams transferred from Lock Haven this semester and joined hockey stars Pam Snyder and LEADING SCORER-Diane Kendig, last year's MVP, is again the Colonel's outstanding player this year.

With two players fouled out, and two injured teammates keeping stats in the stands, she sank two pressure free throws to cap the win. Then came the nightmare of the winter sports coaches--semester break. Back just in time to host the Lettepyomen Holiday Tournament( dedicated to Correen Santoro), Wilkes placed a disappointing third. They lost once more to King's after an administrativ_e disaster had the Monarchs threatening not to show up. Wilkes' enthusiasm deflated like a leaky balloon, and the game was equally flat, as the Blue and Gold lost 8'2-59. But, as President Capin said, "The mark of a truly good team is to come back after a bad game and win the next." The cagers did just that, with a squeaky 60-59 victory over Drew the next day. Matywood, who lost to Wilkes just a month before, had an equally exciting game against King's and emerged as tournament champions. King's Kandi Karuza came away with MVP award for offense, and Wilkes' Diane Kendig and Lynn Yedlock shared defensive honors. The tournament was intended to tune up the teams prior to the start of the second half of the season. What it did in Wilkes' case was point out a few weaknessess and the need for more organization in the offense and the 1-2-2 full-court press. After a few days of practice, the Colonels took on Albright and showed that practice does make perfect, as they had an easy time in the 56-36 win. Fast passes, timely cuts, and rebounds all came their way, and the cagers seemed to coast through most of the game. A real test for the team would have been Saturday against Upsala, who has provided Wilkes with two heart-stopping games in-;.. as ma_ny years, but bad ,. weather forced postpqnement of the game. Tuesday at home the Blue and Gold enjoyed another big win over Keystone, trouncing the Giants 83-57. Diane Kendig scored ·a seasonhigh 34 points in leaaing the Colonel attack, and also snatche<,i tire ball away a record 11 times. The win was Wilkes' third straight, and puts. the Colonels' record at 5-4. The squad mets an extremely tough Scranton University team tonight at home and is looking for an upset over the Lady Royals. Saturday is Parents' Day, as Delaware Valley will come to Wilkes-Barre, hoping to avenge its loss to Wilkes in the MAC tournament last year.

Dr. Thomas Kelly, dean of · external affairs and chairman of the committee, r e ported that the committee ha s met a number of times in the past few weeks. During this time the com mittee has interviewed Dr. Kaska (as chairman of the Foreign Language and Literature Department), Dr. Fiester, Klaus flolm, associate professor of Th·e atre Arts, and ..,,-Al Groh, director of cultural activities. The committee has also held two sessions with five students majoring in English and concentrating in Theatre Arts who are very active in productions at the theatre. Dr. Kelly explained that the purpose of these interviews was to obtain the various feelings and attitudes . of some of the eo le who are direct! involved with or related to the theatre in regard to the following organizational options: -Should the college put monE}y into the program? -Should the theatre departme nt be under the jurisdiction of the English? -Is it feasible that the theatre department should or could become a part of other departments on campus? -Should the theatre department combine · efforts with King's? According to Kelly, "Up until this point it has been a data gathering approach; now we're reviewing the data a nd delibera ting the options." The Dean stated that "We recognize tha t we have a really fine facility and we hope the college moves toward a decision that will truly complement the facility ." Kelly also noted that the President requested ·that the com mittee "keep in mind the economic factors as well as the liberal arts education philosophy." The chairman elaborated on this by saying that the intention of the theatre' s facilities is to serve all of the students on campus;therefore, the com mittee must consider some of the consequences of institutionalizing a program designed specifically for training students in an acting carreer. Kelly reported that the com mittee will submit a recom mendation to President Capin.

The downstairs section could be used for people who do not want to "disco" or just want to listen to another type of m·usic while partyi ng. I am aware of the theft of the sound system of the SUB which might hinder this. Possibly a system could be supplied by the organization sponsoring the party. On the other hand, no person can object to having a fair amount of time devoted to each type of music. I see no signs posted before the party reading "Disco Only," so why does it have to be? Without a survey, i can, he pretty confident that a se!f[Ilent of our student body is g(!tting somewhat tired of disco. To this, I am not reluctant to sign my name and would be happy to discuss ( or challenge) any student on this point. Respectfully Submitted, Joseph A Gray To The Editor: This letter deals with the parties held recently in the SUB. Please do not misconstrue these words, for this is not a savage attack on our disco lovers of Wilkes College. I do respect their tastes and talents even tho ugh I do not keep a stack of Dorina Summer albums handy or have John Tra vol ta pasted all over my walls. I am not asking to have our disco · program abandoned here at the college. I realize people come from many backgrounds with their own style, but why is there not a th.orough mix of music at the parties"!• I have been present at the four SUB parties so far this semester and must say disco dominates the evening. I am even a good sport and will attempt to . dance. However, Rock and Roll or Bluegrass music is not dead! Please do not show ignorance and say these types of music cannot be danced to.

ONCE A NEGATIVE OPINION IS FORMED IT .IS USUALLY VERY HARD TO CHANGE IT EVEN WHEN IT IS NO LONGER JUSTIFIED. THIS IS THE CURRENT SITUATION WITH THE RADIO STATION, WCLH, WHICH HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO SOME UNDESERVED CRITICISM. THE STATION HAS COME A LONG WAY AND HAS NOW EARNED RECOGNITION, AS A CLASS RADIO PROGRAM. ADMITTEDLY THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT, BUT WHAT ORGANIZATION CAN CLAIM THAT IT HAS REACHE:0 ITS FULL POTENTIAL? SERVE RESPECT FROM ALL AREAS OF THE COLLEGE AND SHOULD RECEIVE SUPPORT, . ENCOURAGEMENT, AND HIGHER PRIORITY IN THE COLLEGE' BUDGET IN ORDER TO AL. LOW IT GROW AND IMPROVE. IF THE COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM IS TO BECOME A VIABLE PART OF. THE CURRIC\... ULUM, THEN THE RADIO STATION MUST BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PROGRAM. A New Method Needed sos ISurvivor of Skynrd) Colone~Mascot Cheered To the Editor: My compliments to "The Colonel" during the recent King's-Wilkes basketball game at .our gym. He, whoever he was, added color and excitement to the game. Someone should look into the possibility of. having a Cold' nel for all the basketball games, and football, wrestling and baseball events too. I was, however, displeased with the actions of Athletic Director John Reese, who forced "'The Colonel" to sit down during the game. I understand that_ / Reese was only trying to keep the place from turning into a riot, but I believe "The Colonel" could have maintained the colorful cheering in front of the Wilkes cheering section, and nothing woul_d have happened. 1 I wond~r if "The Colonel" would have been stopped if he was at a Penn State:Wilkes ' wrestling match? But, · then again, wrestling matches are not as ex.d ting as that basketball game with King's College.

WE DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE AF AIR WAY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE SITUATION THE .JUNIOR CLASSNOW FACES. OTHER SG MEMBERS MUST BE ELECTED BY THE STUDENTS THEY REPRESENT, BlJT THE APPOINTED REPRESENTATIVES ARE SPARED THIS EFFORT. THIS IS FINE IF THE NUMBER OF VACANCIES EQUALS THE NUMBER OF CANDIDATES, WHICH IS USUALLY THE CASE. HOWEVER, IN THE CASE' OF' THE JUNIOR CLASS THERE ARE MORE CANDIDATES THAN VACANCIES. To the editor: I would like to publicly commend the members of the Wilkes · A.F.R.0.T.C. on a n exceptional job running the Sia ve Auction Party in the SUB last Friday night. From a general consensus at the party, I found that the complaints, if any, were minimal. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves! Hoping to possibly better the parties in the future, I made a few observations why this one went so well:: 1) A successful advance ticket sale was held; 2) There was a well staffed bar, enough beer, and munchies ( soda was also available); 3) There was sufficient time for dancing with relatively non-stop music; and most importantly, 4) There was an inno·v ative ACTIVITY that all could participate in. ( By this I mean something other than drinking and dancing.) I'm sure that those , who watched the slave auction enjoyed it, and would agree with me that we peed more of these innovative e~ents to "_spice up" the activity and gice some life to IN A CASE SUCH AS THIS WE FEEL THAT A GENERAL ELECTION IS THE BEST-SOLUTION the well-known "dead" SUB parAGREED, AN ELECTION WILL TAKE TIME, BUT SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD WEEK OF THE ties.

ANAG£R . OR OWNER I • �February 1, 1979, The Beacon, Page 5 PartTwo--------------Ta ene its of CampusFraternitie inted ..Entertainment The Complete Cultural Events Calender For liberal Arcs Students January-May,1979 Last week's discussion of the social life at Wilkes produced the idea of one possible means of improvement: Fraternities. The plan this week is to develop the idea as fuHy as possible, then see what happens. Let's begin by taking a look at the overall .benefits of fra'ternities. First, it would undoubtedly produce more unity within the residence hall. Second, fraternities would. promote better upkeep and cleanliness in the dorms since the occupants would have a greater degree of pride in their organization. Third, it would attract 'prospective students. Fourth, fraternities would lead to a more exciting social life for all Wilkesstudents, both resident and commuter. These are, of course, only a few of the basic benefits to be derived from the fraternity concept. But. .. benefits are worthless without an operative plan. So on to plan two. The layout - - - of our campus appears ideai for fraternities. The New Men's Dorm serves as the center point with the other residence halls branching out around it. Therefore, New Men's Dorm could serve ideally as the residence for all first year studentf as well as other students not wishing to participate in the fraternity. One outside dorm, perhaps Miner Hall, could house those wishing to live in an outside dorm, but not in a fraternity . . That leaves Bedford, Slocum, Denison and Gore Halls as possible fraternity sites. Bedford is at present the closest thing we have to a fraternity, so ask any of its occupants about the benefits. They could probably make the transition in about two hours. Slocum, Denison and Gore Halls would soon follow. However, the overall · transition would be gradual. Dorm members would meet to discuss the fraternity policy which they would adopt, and select leaders. Each dorm would in time come to represent different ideals. The transition would be gradual in that spots in the fraternity hall would not open up until graduation ( or whatever) of students presently in the hall. . Near the end of the school year freshmen would apply to the fraternity which they ~s~ to join. Frat members could then select members according to the policy they adopted, just like any other fraternity at any other college. Unfortunately, the frater,nity idea may never get farther than this page. Then again, there is the chance that, someone, after reading this, will pick up on the idea. I can hear it now: "No Mom, I ~on't --- be home this weekend - there's too much going on!" Ed VanBuren Beat·r tce Hawley and Jack Hardie to Read Writer-in-residence Bea trice Hawley and faculty member Jack Hardie will present a public reading of their works Monday, Feb. 5, at 8 p.m. in ·the li.brary. Ms. Hawley will read from her new book Nothing is Lost ( soon to be released , by Apple-wood Press) and from ·her first collection, Makin,; the House Fall THE HUT Now ·at The Hampt.on Corners Corner of S. Main Northampton Sts. & Hoagies& , Sandwiches of all Kinds Down (Alice James Books). A Choice reviewer calls Making the House Fall Down "an excellent first book," a demonstration of her "originality and essential humanity." Her poems have appeared in such literary magazines as Ploughshares, Zeugma, Hierophant, and The Little Review. Born in Italy, Hawley !fas degrees from the Lycee Chateaubriand (Rome) and Brandeis University. She has taught creative writing in Upward Bound programs, university classrooms, and has conducted poetry workshops for women in prison. In 1975 she received Brandeis' Egene Warren Poetry Award, and in 1976 was selected to be a scholar at the Breadloaf Writers' Conference. As writer-in-residence this spring at Wilkes, she works with student writers individually, an<i also teaches an intensive poetry workshop. Jack Hardie is Pennsylvania-born and educated, having attended Plymouth High School, Wilkes College, and Temple University, where· he is currently a candidate for the Ph.D. At Wilkes he •,eaches composition and creati writing courses in the Depa •ent of Language and Liten His writing has appeared in College English, Quartet, Journal of Modern Literature, and other periodicals. Hardie will read from his book in progress, Jacks. Both Hawley and Hrdie are essentially lyric poets. They write about personal experience with strong imagery, using simple language, mostly in the rhythms of everyday speech. Such poems are to read aloud. Monday's performance is the . second of nine this semester, sponsored by Wilkes College and the National Endowment for the Arts. 1st Annual-Before and After GROUNDHOG'S DAYSALE!!!

However, Scranton, a team which has to be considered one . of the best teams in the East, had its hands full when it came to the Franklin St. gym. Wilkes, with less depth and height and financial incentive, played on pride, and came within ten points of the Lay Royals. Only a shaky start prevented the Colonels from upsetting the U, for after the first few minutes when Wilkes fell behind by ten, the game was a pretty even match. Diane Kendig, Debbie and Lynn Yedlock, and Mary Jo Frail all scored in double figures, with 28, 13, 11, and 10 points respectively. Debbie also pulled down 11 rebounds. The Lady Royals' ten-point vict.Qry- was regarded as a "moral victory" for the Colonels and as Coach Sandy Bloomberg put it, "I feel as if we won the game." Two days after that "loss," Delaware Valley came to Wilkes-Barre supposedly to avenge a loss in last year's MAC tournament, which the Aggies hosted. But Wilkes wasn't about to let a Parents' Day game go for nought, as Del Val went home on the snort side of a 75-57 scor e. Diane Kendig scored a r ecordhigh 41 points and also snatched 12 steals, a nd Mary Jo Frail was again the Colonels' field general, cr eating scoring opportunities for her teammates a nd popping in some ~ -footers herself. Kendig's shooting percentage (65) and her amazing defense, comb_ined with Frail's leadership, kept the Aggies out of the game all night.

According to IDC S u r v e y - - - - - - - - - - Stu de ntS Favor Coed Dorm "Campus social life would' be greatly improved" stated one optimistic co-ed dormitory supporter on his - survey questionnaire. This sentiment seems to be the general feeling among Wilkes College dormitory students, according to the partial results received from the co-ed questionnaire administered by IDC. As of now, 106 students in contrast to the 29 non-supporters, are in favor of co-ed dorms. Of the ones who wish for co-ed housing, 55 students believed Pickering Hall would be tbe "best possible place" for this type of dwelling. However, :r7 people disagreed and thought that outside dorms posed the best setting for mixed dorm life. Very mixed emotions are present a mong th e polled student body as to how male-female dorms should be divided. Thirty-eight students support having the guys and gals living next door to each other whereas :r7 believed the>sexes should be seperated by floor. The remaining 34 students believe the dorms should be split up by wing. A minority of the students questioned had had no previous experience in co-ed dorms. However, there were some exceptions. One student, co_mmenting on his former co-ed, dorm experience at Penn State was quick to i,oint out that "the soci11l atmosphere was noticeably more relaxed and less alienating.'' The tallyil).g of the co-ed questionnaires will be finalized at IDC's next meeting and an IDC recommendation will be drawn up and forwarded to the Dean's Council within a two week period effective Feb. 4. The question of "dorm_profits" is still looming in the minds of the IDC members. According to IDC president Gary Toczylow• ski, all student organizations except for Student Government are in favor of unlimited profits provided that certain stipulations, be followed.

Student Government President Steve Kirshner informed Commuter Council tha t the administration has a dopted a school calenda r for 1979-80 where the Fall semester begins Sept. 5, there is . no early semester break, and the . exa m period is six days long. The calendar was adopted despite recommendations by the three student organizations ( SG, CC, and JDC) against the move. ~irshner went on to say that he feels the students have expressed a desir e to keep the ea rl y semester break and the longer exam period; and he feels the a ction of the President's Council is contrary to the stu. dents' wishes. • _Tom Brooks proposed that CC, SG, and JDC draft a formal let-. ter of protest against the new · calendar.. He stated that he does not think the new calendar is in the " better interest of the · students." The Council l;lgreed unanimously. CC advisor Dean Hoover pointed out that the practice of having an ea rl y semester break was not instituted un til recent Chuck Robbins Sporting Goods 39 W. Market St . Wilkes-Barre years. However, Kirshner a dded that since the institution of the break students have expressed a desire to keep it, and the tri-council recommendations echo this sentiment. CC' s newly-elected traffic coordinator, Bill Stusnick, checked into the current pricing of bus tokens and discovered that the Council can cut costs by one dolJar: CC then voted to make Zone One tokens $12 and Zone Two tokens $13. Reports of trouble at the recent SUB party prompted Dean Hoover to say that he appreciI ates the help the student councils have given in bringing certain problems to the administration's attention. He said that the matter is being checked and that some de.cision will soon be reached concerning SUB parties. Dan Patronick informed the council that the Commons will be getting some sort of hot meal shortly. The meals will not be offered under the same deal as caf food, but the price is supposed to be reasonable.

Jim Edwards ·w"t~-~·w;~t~·t·h-~t··c~tt~-~-?-·1 ·1· To the Editor: I feel it is my duty as sports editor of the Beacon to respond to the Jetter printed in last week's paper concerning Mr. John Reese and the King'sWilkes basketball game. iW}loever wrote it, I doubt it was the cheering "Bad Company", was totally wrong. To say that any sport is more exciting than another is wrong. It is up to the individual. A 20-19 wrestling match is more thrilling than a 105-47 cage tilt. And a 65-64 basketball game is more . exciting than a 46-3 wrestling match. As far as Mr. Reese stopping ... Lhe Colonel, he was only trying to protect the fans in that area of the gym and the Colonel himself. I do agree that the Colonel could have been allowed to cheer in front of the Wilkes' fans, but it is all over with now, and there were no major problems ip tha t game. As I suggesterl la st week, we should get a Colonel for every sporting event, which includes basketball and wrestling. To whoever wrote the letter, ! do you sir volunter to ~e a Colonel? Cheerfully Yours, Eddie White Ill Sports Editor The Beacon I · �Proposal Drafted . · Communications Slated for Fall It seems like such a long tim e since we last discussed the Communica tions program at Wilkes. Actually, it was about three months ago. At the time it seemed that pushing the situation was like spitting in the wind. But and this is a big but, tha nks to the work of Dr. Thomas Kaska , chairm a n of the English depa rtment, cha nge is on the way. Soon after the second Beacon article, Kaska began organizing a committee to investigate the Communi cations situation a nd Barbell Club Plans Event The Wilkes College Barbell Club will sponsor the Third Anua l Mr. and Ms. Wilkes Physique Contest on Saturday, March 17, 1979 in the Center for the Performing Arts. A new addition to the contest this year will be the Ms. Wilkes Physique competition. There will be judging from . three height classes fot both the men and the women, and trophies will be a warded for'the overall winner in the men's and women's divisions. Application fee is $5.00 and forms are available from members of the Barbell Club. In previous years, ,women' s dorms ha ve sponsored guys in the contest. This year, guy's dorms ca n sponsor wom en. Girls can a lso sponsor their boyfriends, , and vice-versa. Am ong the j udges for the contest will be Mike Cognini ( Mr. Anthracite), Frank Ca lta ( Mr. Pennsylvania and Mr. North Am erica ) , and J erry ' Abs' D'Albus. Keith Martin of WBRE-TV will be on hand to M.C. P roc eeds of the contest will be dona ted to Musc ular Dystrophy. develo·p a new progra m. The com m ittee included Kaska, Dr. Brad Kinney, Prof. Bruce Weal, Prof. Christopher Fox, Karen Klucitus, Betty DeCosmo, and myself. The group met a num her of times, finally coming up with a program which they felt suitable , for presentation to Langua ge and Literature department. The proposal was passed unanim ously at the depa rtment meeting. Now it goes before the Curriculum committee. If suc' cessful there, a new communica t ions program will be presented to the faculty at a . general meeting for final approval. Dr. Kaska is " delighted" with the progress being made so far. He hopes to have the ne w curriculum adopted by the end of this semester. If this happens, the new Communications program will go into effect for the upcoming fall semester. With that in mind, the remainder of this week's article and next week's article will be spent studying the proposal as it now stands. First, the proposal is for a major in Communication-Studies, rather than an English major with Communications specialization. The committee, in planning out such a major, sought to develop a program in Communications Studies which is strongly centered in the humanities and at the same time provides basic training in occupational skills. The occupational training will be in fields such as journa lism , public relations, and broadcasting. In this way, the progra m will be unique a nd ther efore not conflict with exisiting majors at area colleges (such as King's). The committee prefaced its proposal by emphasizing the importance of verbal aptitude to those interested in the Communica tions curriculum. For this r eason the program includes a r ecommendation that students with verbal SAT scores of less than 500 be admitted only on a provisional basis. Further, the committee looks for the establishment of an Advisory Board to help monitor the program . As far as staffing the program is concerned, the r ecommendation is that one-full tim e fa culty memoer is added to the broadcas'ting staff. To both start off a nd supplem ent the program , the college will probably look to loca l talent in the Communications field. This includes area T. V. and radio stations, as well as newspapers and public relations firms. Next week we. will look at the a ctual curriculum requirements included in the proposal. The Communications major is alive· and well at_Wilkes College. .

If the activity is for a fund raising purpose, the $50 limit can be exceeded but only with the permission of the Board. John Senatore, who filed this report to Student .Government Monday night also stated that new standards have been set for security during parties.

The showmg will run for eight hours, starting from 6 or 7 p.m . A date has not been set yet for the festival, but tqe committee will finalize plans by next Bill Lewis read, for CC approval, a letter which is to be sent to the Presidents' Council in regards to the new fall calendar. The letter points out 1:hat the Council recommended the semester beginning · during the last week of August, thus giving an early fall break and an extended final exam period. It also states the council's request for a review of the new calendar, which they feel would . be in the students' best interests. It was suggested that a ·schoolwide survey should be held to determine how many people are in favor of or opposed to the new fall semester calendar. The council agreed with the proposal. Tom Brooks took some surveys of Veterans Club and the Chem Club are opposed to the new calendar. Dean Hoover gave some historical prospective saying that traditionally Wilke~ did not have a fall break. However, Tom Brooks added," It was decided that it should be changed ... it has been a step forward and I don't see why tne college should take a step backwards." To111 went on to say that he believes a fall break and a longer exam period are in the "students' best interests." Joni Brooks suggested that representatives from th.e student body should help prepare the academic calendars. She stated that such student reps could help get the . students' viewpoints across in calendar selections. Umt"" would be a positive step. The council was informed that the SUB has reached decisions on its party policies. From now on each SUB p ty will have a security force icked by Bob Austin, a price · ·twill be set on tickets ( dependim on-tn_e reasons for the party, extra attr~tions, etc.), the fire safety limit will be strictly adhered to and repeated troublemakers will be banned from SUB parties. A request was made to "break the potato chip monotony" by adding some pretzels, cheese twists, and other snacks to the racks which are in the Commons. Bill Turcan viewed excerpts of the Eysselinck Report of October HT17, and interviewed Klaus Holm (technical director of the theater), Dr. Thomas Kaska ( chairman of the Department of Language and Literature), Dr. Benjamin Fiester (former chairman of the English Department), and five stu:Jents who have a declared a major in English with a concentration in theater arts. INDIVIDUAL mem hers of the committee also met with Alfred Groh (director of cultural activities and former chairman of the Theater Department), and John Whitby (director of special programs), along with seeking input fl'OOl a number of outside sources. The group decided that administrative and academic obstacles would be too great and have too many implications for Wilkes and King's to develqi a joint program. It also concluded that alt~ugh music and theater are complementary fields, they are not compatible enough to merit the establishment of a combined department. TIIE OPTION of creati~ a department of communication arts was also deemed undesireable because although a major in Communications Studies is now being considered, a major portion of the Department of Language and Literature is already com posed of students concentrating in communication stu:Jies, and considerable adjustment would be necessary. The fourth option, the maintenance and strengthening of a separate theater department, while the committee's ideal p-eference, was determined to be fina ncially-pr.ohi bi tive, since three to five new faculty members would need to be hired, and less than 15 students at both Wilkes and King's presently concentrate in theater arts. THE FIFTH alternative, the one which the committee accepted was believed to be consistent with the liberal arts philosophy of Wilkes and also conforms to the historical precedent already established, since the theater department resided for some time within the English Department. One additional full-time faculty member with experience in acting and directing should be hired, and other part-time resources should also be sought, according to the committee. The one concern expressed in relation to this alternative was the fact that the Department of Language and Literature is now responsible for fields of study including foreign languages, communications (including journalism and broadcasting) , English, and speech. ·The committee was concerned that the Department administration may not be able to provide the support, care, and nurturing necessary to hopefully develop a separate department in the future . However, Dr. Kaska assured the committee that the abilities and desires of the department's senior members would enable the department to meet this repsonsibility. The committee, in its conclusions and recommendations, made a number of other suggestions designed to encourage the growth of a quality theater program. Wilma Hurst �Th the Editor: Having read the letter submitted by Mr. Gray on the SUB J:x1rties( Feb. 1, 1979) I felt an obligation to take up my pen in response. I must admit that his words seem objective enough, however, several of his statements warrent rebuttal. I am sure Mr. Gray, whatever his background or style is, is aware that Disco is the latest craze that is sweeping our country offitsfoet.I would recall my earlier years on this campus when bluegrass, rock, and rock and roll music was all one heard ( was obliged to listen to) at J:xlrties and even on the radio stations. I agree that there should be a mix of music at J:xlrties to take into consideration tha different backgrounds and lifestyles of the students on campus. However, bearing in mind the a for em entionedOe. disco fever) the organizers of these parties have to stick to disco music as this is what the J:x1trons want to hear. This of course brings me to the point made by Mr. Gray that there are no signs reading "Disco Only." I ass ume Mr. Gra~ is intelligent enough to comprenend that when sign says "Disco Party'' he should be prepared for, an evening of Disco music. Mr. Gray suggested that the J:nsement of the SUB be set up for people who do not want to "disco" or "just want to listen to another type of music while J:x!rtying." I would r ecall that the basement is al ready being used by such people. The idea o1 providing a system only adds to the aggravation of sponsoring a social campus activity. Visa-vis, locating the necessary and sponsors, not forgetting the added expenses. In all, I would say that these are private parties, and when Mr. Gray gives a µtrty, I'm sure nobody tells him what kirrl of music to play. In my opinion, the responsibility for adequately equipping the SUB lies with the administration and should foe IDC or any other organization associated with the student governments give a party without consideration to the types of music, then Mr. Gray has grounds for objection; Otherwise, I would suggest that "any segment of our student body that is tired of disco' ' not attend these µtrties labelled "disco", but rather have its own bluegrass, rock, rock and roll or whatever ty_pe of p arty they want to have, without the consideration of the disco lovers! I do believe that this is still a free country and one has the choice of not conforming. Respectfmly sulxni~, Danny &u1,1.t- To The Editor: This letter is in response to one written by Joseph A. Gray, survivor of Skynard. It seems that Mr. Gray is basing his judgements of "SUB" parties and consequently social gatherings at Wilkes as one mainly of Disco. As a senior, I have attended over the past four years countless SUB parties, dorm parties and · witnessed an extreme dose of Panama Red and other rock selections without the presence of Disco. , Let me correct Mr. Gray, the SUB party on Jan. 19, H179 was advertised as a disco party and on Jan. Zl, 1979 I attended a SUB J:x!rty in which there was a mixture of both rock and di"sco ·music. _I want to thank Mr, Gray for informing me that a "Disco Program" exists at Wilkes College. I-Tow1ever what Wilkes consid•c>.rs to be Disco is quite a poor-imita-· tion of what it actually is. I must adhere to the fact that John Tra" volta is absurdly stereotyped as a disco symbol yet has concentrated his efforts into acting and since such stereotyping exists; is proven a success. Your confidance Mr. Gray in assuming that "a segment of our student body is getting somewhat" tired of Disco" is overwhelming, however evidence of a successful disco given last semester by Tony D. could exemplify that Disco is alive and .thriving. Nevertheless Mr. Gray without a survey no assumptions should be made. To this I may very well be known as a ''Disco Queen" and would be happy to challenge Mr. Gray on this point and as a good sport request a dance. Nancy Dmiase Off-Campus Students Seek Formal Organization To The Editor: We, as a small group of stude11ts who share similar problems of obtaining and living in off-campus housing, apartmen ts, realize that a formal organization for all of us would directly benefit us. Assistance would be provided in locating apartments, sub-letting over the . summer, on food savings, etc. As a "specific group" within Wilkes College, we would serve our group by planning and coordinating educational and social activities. If anyone is interested, please contact any of the following people for meeting Sunday, February 18, to draft a constitution that will be submitted to Student Government and the Council of Deans. The constitution will specify pur'()ose and powers, membership, officers and duties, executive council, etc. Your ideas are important. There are about 150 of us and we are about 7 per THE HUT S.

The junior from Dupont serves as WCLif s -station manager and is a key to the operation, which is housed on the th i rd floor of the Dorothy Dickson Darte building. The political science major likes his new position because it affords him the chance to handle responsibility and to . practice public speaking, which makes the job an ideal stepping stone to his goal to become a lawyer. Fred joined the station in his freshman year, and was made i:x-ogram director in the' summer before his sophomore year. His duties were to oversee -all programming such as type of music, educational material, show organization. Despite the lack of previous experience with a radio station, Fred handled the assignment with little trouble. His new job as station manager includes the responsilility of insuring clean and orderly w.:rking conditions at the statim. He must maintain files and a lilrary of reference materials that can be had at a moment's mtice for use on the air. Fred previews all programs intended for the air and also conducts an on-going membership drive.- As st ation manager he must literally get involved in every aspect of running the statim. Twenty hours a week is required, but fortyFred is usually amount of time spends the at ~t=~~;-f;~~\o~~~.~~ r:1!- the desire to work for the station. The personal management Fred supplies is pirt of his effort to satisfy as many people as he can. It's not always fun and games. Recently the station was turned down for a federal grant which would have replaced aged and failing equipment. Also, if you remember last semester, the staff felt that the faculty directed much criticism toward the station. Apparently criticism is not something Fred fears, for he said, "We are open to criticism because we can better ourselves •with it. But the thing that bothers me most is that the people who do the, .5t complaining are the ones you never see around here. They never bother to come to the station to see for themselves how we operate." Despite the problems, Fred said, "The station is at its highest point now. We are delivering to the public a program varied enough to appeal to every taste. If we don't carry something that people want, then we'll try and get it." AJomg with his job at the radio station, Fred is involved in the Political Science Club, Radio Qub, and is presently involved in establishing a chapter of Tota Beta Sigma, the National Broadcasting Fraternity, on campus.

Has this question ever occured to you? "Where do all the foreign students at Wilkes go for Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner?" It's not home, and it's not the UN. Instead, it's a name well-known around Wilkes-Barre that is associated with these times of the year. That name and person is Nelson Carle, manager of Stark Learning Center, and a man the foreign students have come to know as one who dis: plays a tremendous ''love and ' generosi ty for people." For the past ten years he has ' hosted holiday dinners, comolete Nith turkey, wine, and a smile-Ythat makes the meal even more enjoyable. His help and concern have been much-appreciated by the foreign students on campus, who have nothing but praise for him. The only reward Carle wants is the opportunity to stay in touch with his students after they leave Wilkes. Ahmad Mahmoud, speaking on behalf of all the foreign students, expressed their appreciation for Carie's deeds when he said, "I would like to say to him the good old Arabian Saying, 'May God create more of your type' ." { The PRO SHOP At the WILKES-BARRE INDOOR TENNIS CENTER Is loaded with savings from now till Februa,ry 18.
