Wong pointed out that a little over a y e ar ago the college made a major investment ($300,000) in the com puter.

Colleen Gries took seconc! in informative speaking, enabling Wilke~ to sweep the first two places in this event. Pam Russo also contributed to the overall first-place finish. The r:ollege Debate Union has become a formidable opponent in competition since Dr. Bradford Kinney revived the sport and brought it to the prominence it now enjoys.

Fu'rth e rmo.re, there were 285 enrollments last Sprin g as compared to the 334 enrollnfents this Spring.

It has come to Kirsh ner's attention that many students are receiving poor advising from professors who don't even like to do it. This was announced at ~onday ' s SG meeting but since there was not enough members in attendance for a qu o r11m, a n "informative session" was held instead.

The apparent problem is ~hat the l?ro.fessors have no Job description as far as advising goes. They <4,in't know what is expected of them and what the students expect. Kirshner noted that some advisors are very good while other are not. One SG memher cited that her advisor has signed her pre -registration form the last three years without saying a word to her. If students are receiving "Bad Advising" concerning· required courses-, the ultimate responsibility is still upon them.

In my opinion disco and r-ock is not the answer to the musical entertainment supplied to our students during weekend parties. Granted, disco is for dances, and rock is for foot stom pers, · but what about the increasing majority of students who want to have "Punk" parties? There is a drastic need for Punk music in our parties. Punk is America! Punk is genuine! Punk is necessary! The thrill of dancing while sticking safety pins in each other's cheeks and ears over-rates the boredom of disco dancing. To hear artists like Elvis Costello, Ramones, a·nd Dr. Feelgood being played at a dance is a rush in itself. To know that you are dancing a slow dance with your girl friend to the lyrics of "beat the br a t-- heat the brat--beat the brat with a baseball bat," is a feeling that cannot be compared to any other music art. Furthermore, what other · music art has such idles as Patty Smith, Sid Viscious, or Devo. And like disco in usic, Punk is made up of the same crazy lyrics and same crazy chords that makes each song sound the same.

Wheelbarrow Run now flows through the Tubs, form ing many small waterfalls and rapids. · Hiking, jogging, walking, bicycling, and cross-country skiing trails are planned, in addition to picnic areas, a scenic overlook, and facilities for nature study and scientific research. The CCE now is involved in mapping the existing routes and designing new trails throughout the Tubs area. Numerous efforts to protect t he Tubs and surrounding acreage were made from the 1950s through the early 1970s; however, none has met with success.

The Dead went on the road , the women moved· back to Rio and I stumbled out of bed. "AHHHHH! ! ! " I screamed in terror as my small toe made hard contact with the empty keg. I fell grasping the pulsating wound and hobbled out to answer the payphone. "Who was it?" came the moan from the dark corner as I crawled back into the room. · "I don't know," I responded, burrowing reek into the bed. "It was for some guy named Fred--you know him?" "Who?" "Fred." " Fred? ... He! I no." "Wel l if you ha open to meet him tell him to have two ounces ready to sell tom morrow." "Oh, okay, good night." "Yeah," I groaned, knowing that it was useless to try and find the dream -- it was gone; hidden beneath the pillow. Out of bed I crawled and sat my desk, watching the cockroaches finish their single's weekend at the Roach Hotel. It was t hen I noticed a long-forgotten piece of trivia from my youthful days--my yearbook, The Screech Valley High School Ephemeron. A look through its pages brought a flood of memories about my youthful innocence, naivete and misconceptions about t he life I had to look forward to after those carefree days. I remember tlie events that led me to where I stand now: college. I remember the deceptions that began as early as the fourth grade. · ALAS, THE LIES I have been told. When rut a child in the tender, were other times when it was sexless fourth grade, a teacher--truly cruel of heart--told a class of extremely diffi cu lt t o make ·unsuspecting souls who complained too often of an inordinate amount out wha t the per fo rmer was of history work, that in the future we could look forward to an eternity of hom ework and hell.

But HORROR HAD SI'RUCK. My· mind was. reeling. There is nothing there is .a good deal of room like a school teacher for instilling fear in the hearts and minds of his for im prov em ent in the charges. The prospect of getting a high school diploma seemed dim; show's overall production. even passing fifth grade became, in my mini, a Herculean task. It Hopefully the improvement was rumored that things got harder as the years progressed. At that will surface in time for the point, I knew that I should consider a career--without education--the 1980 "Gong Show" edition. start of an exercise which I would continue throughout my years of Ed Van Buren instruction. Various occupatioos entertained my mind: I could run away and join a travelling, circus, ( too cl iche), or perhaps, I could aspire to be a shepherd in the Andean foothills, or even an Indian chief. Vocations of all sorts fell under my scrutiny, all different, though all sharing illiteracy as a common requirement. Through the years I pondered my impending end--lrain death. (And at my funeral..."Well, I don' t know. They say he got to the Arkansas Apple Blossom, muttered something about sheep and fell over.") Alas, I have never known the capital of more than five states at once and nary a state flower. Yet here I sit, many years later, in college, knowing well the deceptions I have been fed. "JUST WAIT till you get to college!" she cried. "Two dimensions? BOOKS* REC:ORDS & TAPES , .... Ha! That's nothing when you start playing with objects in three and four dimensions . That's when it really gets fun!" Miss T.I. ~'>-4767 • Totient must have known my fourth grade teacher. At the front of my geometry class she stood snorting like a war-horse as she spoke of the wondrous subtleties of imaginary numbers, which we could all look forward to without, once we got to college. Hell, this was unfair, how can it be a number if we can only imagine it? The Andes started looking good. Things had been bad in the elementary school , especially when they hit us with num ber!1 that looked like letta-.s--rut I made it. Now, they expect me to know numbers when I get to college. What is this C,oll_ege? Can it be as bad as they say? They had my mind, oow they wanted my soul; college must sure be hell. I wanted to know when this purgatory called educat ion would end and life could really begin RUMORS FILTERED in from all fronts. Tales of day-long imprisonmen in the halls and rooms of study abounded and the old fears arose again. I decided that my tent in the Andes would be lrown--to match my llama. _ Then one day, after working for some time at the stables in smimer camp, I realized that the prospect of cleaning up after a · llama for the rest of my life was not to endearing. I had to find 8C)llle other out. It was about this time, [the begilDling of my senior year of hiab school] when I was cast at the mercy of Mr. Creed [aka: tiie Guidance Counselor]. He was slight man with a propensity to rave, ' recite Freud, and smoke pipe tobbaco which was similar to the .fragrance of hot llamas. It was then I began to believe the popular nm.or: Mr. Creed was a member in good standing of the Charlie Manson--Son of Sam Fan Om. He did mt do a lot to belay my fears of college, but he al so did much to undermine any desire I had of going to college. After all, he was a college graduate. The net result of my sessions with Mr . freed was a battery of career aptitude tests that informed me I was suited for cl«gy work, jewelry design and shepherding. · And that was my last encounter with the curious creattres that hrk in the public schools, for soon aft« I was accepted to \\likes and found the truth. Now, I waited for graduation to find the Truth about the outside world--Is it as real as they say? A Review•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••,,.•••••••••• 'Gong Show' Pat I-All Together The whole purpose behind a "Gong Show" is to bring the good and bad , the talented and the untalented together and see what results. Last Friday night's "Gong Show" at the I rem Tern pie did just that. The !rem tern pie, pro bably chosen for its seating capacity, provided quite a plush setting for the· evening's fes t ivities . To its credit, the show started on time. Also to its credit were a couple of fine performances turned in by Wilkes students. The finest perform a nee was provided by "Gong Show" winner Maggi e Bunnel accompa nied by Beth .Hamm er . Her singing well deserved the recognition it received. Lorenzo Alston also turned in a strong singing perform anc.e. HQwever , he made the fatal mistake of choosing too long a ballad. Had his song ended a bou t three minutes sooner, he may have provided Maggie with· strong com petition for the evening's honors. Also ma king the mis take of length was the first Steve Martin impressionist. who r eally was good, but stayed out there too long so that the • novelty and its effect wore off. Joel Kane whose impression of General Patton was excellent, almost made the same m istake. His score of 30 attests to the fact that he knew when to quit. Rick Gaetano served as the emcee for the show and did a c redible job. However, at t imes it seemed that he over did it. The idea was to stay off to the side du'ring performances, rather than involve himself in it. The most tasteless perform nee of the evening involved the raised cross and the impression ( or whatever) that accompanied it. I won't talk about it further simply because it doesn't deserve the print. There were some problems with the sound system in use for t he show. I suspect that the ope ning ·performance of co untry rock woul d have scored much higher had the sound production been be tter. This partic ular instance was probably the fault of the performers rather than those running the show. But there a Any $7 .98 List ALBUM ORTAPE 18 S. Main St..

P,age 6, Tl;ie B~ac.Qlh J<:~b ruary• .2~, 1979 ~oyals Down Colonels, Long -Season.ls Over 1 LADIES FALL Women's basketball team saw its MAC playoff hopes vanish Tuesday evening when it lost to Upsala College at the victors' court. The lady Colonels, who had lost their previous two contests, looked as if they might pull this one out of the fire and throw the MAC Northern Division into a three-way tie -for second. A win over Upsala would have forced a committee decision as to whether Wilkes, King's, or Upsala would continue in post-season play. However, Tuesday's loss gave the playoff ltierth to Upsala and left Wilkes with an 11-10 record and one regular season game remaining. The Blue and Gold started off slowly in the Upsala contest, but soon had the la.dy Vikings in a shooting match, with a basket being scored at a rate of almost two a minute. Wilkes took its biggest lead with 8: 10 remaining in the first half when it pulled ahead 22-18. But the Vikings soon tied it up, and in the final minute and a half built up a ~even-point lead. The second half again started slowly for the Colonels, and with half of th.; period remaining, they were down by 16. It was not until the final two minutes that the Blue and Gold displayed the aggressiveness and poise that they needed, but even that awesome performance wasn't enough to surmount Upsala's lead. Athletes have been known to say, "We didn't lose- -we just ran out of time;" Wilkes could have used a bout two more minutes. Sophomore-Diane Kendig turned in a phenomena I performance, scoring 31 points, hauling down six rebounds, and snaring five steals. She had her defenders literally turning in circles and the Upsala coach wondering whether to double- or triple-team her. Freshman Ellie Adams and junior Lynn Yedlock chipped in 11 points each, and junior Mary Jo Frail added ten. The loss was Wilkes' third straight, as the Colonels were defeated first by Eliza bethtown and then Juniata last week. The E : town game was a mild disaster for the Blue and Gold, since the_Bluejays sported the tallest and possibly the most balanced team Wilkes has seen this season. The game looked as if it might turn into a rout, with Wilkes down by 39 at one point in the second half. Fortunately the Colonels rallied in time to make the score respecta hie at 78-52. Kendig again led all scorers with 26, and Frail accounted for 14. The long trip to Juniata two days later proved to be another double defeat for the Colonel basketball teams, as the worn en lost 65-53 and the men also were defeated. Again, the game was not one to write home about, as the Blue and Gold trailed at the half 34-19, were em barassingly outrebou·nded 64-39, and watched Juniata break several team records in its last home stand. The guards kept Wilkes alive, scoring 43 of the 53 points, and accounting for 22 of the 39 rebounds. Kendig, Frail, and Adams led the Wilkes scorers with 20, 12, and 11 points respectively. The cagers also lost the servic_es of junior guard Sue Freda, who reinjured a knee and will be out for the rest of the season. The women's only win since their upset of Bloomsburg came at the expense of Lycoming. The cagers had an easy time, winning 101-36, while a bviously not even trying to break the century mark. Kendig again was the standout -player, as she set a new school scoring record with 43 points while single-handedly outscoring the entire Lycoming team. The 5' 5" guard also pulled down ten rebounds and stole the ball 11 times. Adams contributed 16 to th~ cause, Lynn Yedlock added 15, and · sister Debbie pumped in ten. The Colonels last game of the season is next Wednesday against M isericordia on the Dallas cam pus. Wilma Hurst Swimmers Go To MA C's The Wilkes College swim team lost their last two meets this past week to Binghmaton (74-30) and Susquehanna University ( 56-39). The season record ended at 0-10 while the team posted their first winning season last year at 6-5. Last Wednesday, the team did turn in some good performances against the Binghmaton squad. Michelle Maguire took first place in the 200 butterfly while breaking her own team record with a time of 2: 23.5. Michelle also took a second plactl in the 500 freestyle. Team captain Jim Edwards took a first in the 100 freestyle and settled for a second in the 200 freestyle. John Moffatt got the only other Wilkes first place in the 50 freestyle while Rob doty earned a second in the 200 breaststroke. During Saturday's meet against Susquehanna, the highlight of the meet featured Maguire again winning in the 200 butterfly against the toughest com petition she has faced all year. Maguire is expected to place very high in the MAC championships this year in the butterfly e','.ents. Other first place finishes include Edwards in the 200 and 100 freestyle events and Perry Lichtinger in the optional diving. John Moffat took a second place in the 200 backstroke with Rob Doty doing the continued on page 7 The Wilkes College basketball team saw its MAC playoff hopes and season end on Tuesday evening as the Blue and Gold dropped a• 59-54 decision to Scranton in a MAC playoff at the King's Gym before a standing room only crowd. ' High scorer for Wilkes was Kendall McNeil, who broke the school record for most field goals in a season, and tallied 24 points. Mike Mc 1 Carrie added 18 and John Zapko was held to only two points. Wilkes finishes the year ·with a 9-15 slate and on a five game losing skein. Wilkes held a ten-point lead in the first half, but the Royals behind Doug Sherman's 24 tallies rallied back to take the win with a late second half surge. Highlight of the game was when the Wilkes and King's fans joined forces to cheer on the Colonels in the playoff game. K'ing's won the first game of the doubleheader, downing Lebanon Valley. McNeil who put in 24 points in the gym where the MAC playoffs will be held. In the 59-50 loss to Bloom in the final regular season game, Zapko was high with 17 points and 14 rebounds. McNeil added ten on five field goals, which gives him 187 for the year, which ties the school record for most in one season, held by Rich Davis, who set it in the 197071 campaign. Bearde rested the starters against Bloom and the subs had a lot of time to show what they had. McNeil was named Mon da y to the E C AC weekly team for t he fifth time this year and is a bonafide candidate for E CAC honors. In three game last week, he tallied 85 points on .599 pct. shooting. Wilkes and Sera nton had met twice before Tuesday during the regular season with Wilkes winning the first 64-60 at the South Franklin St. Gym in a televised game and the Royals taking the second 81 -73 at the Long Center. Eddie White Going into the Scranton game, the Colonels were on a four game losing skein. Wilkes had lost encounters to Lock Haven State College59-58, Eliza beth twon 65-54, Junia ta 85-77, and to Bloomsburg State 59-58. The Juniata game WAS, was the big one. Earliertha tday the Royals of Scranton had lost to Susque.hanna University in Selinsgrove and a Colonel win would put Wilkes in the playoffs and keep Scranton out.

After four sports in the fall and winter , Scranton leads in the team standings with 17 team points, followed by King's at 12 and Wilkes with seven. The Roya ls took first place in three of the sports, winning women's ten nis, men's cross country and women's basketball. The Roya ls tied Wilkes for second pface in basketball. King's won the men's basketball, a nd finis hed second in women's tennis and women's - bask1rtball. King's took a third in men's cross country. Wilkes earned third places in1 women's tennis and women's basketball, while winning second place in cross country and tying for second in men's basketball. First place school in a spor gets five points, second thr ee and fourth one. In the men' s ba sketball division, both Scranton and Wilkes tied with 1-1 slates and they shared four points, getting two apiece. But do not worry Colonel fans, we are not out of the race yet. Left on tap is four sports in the spring season, and the Blue and Gold figure to be in good shape for the stretch run. Wilkes should be favored in at least one of the sports, that being men's baseball. • The other three conference spring sports include men's tennis, golf, and women's softball. Wilkes winning all four and capturing the title of MIC champ is not unrealistic. No matter how it works out, the winners of each sport will r eceive individual trophies at a banquet in Scranton on May 2. The overall school winner will get a large trophy to keep at the school for one year. Gries added that a big-time NBC sport.~ announcer is being lined up to speak at the affair.

RESULTS - During last Friday's position night in the Wilkes College mixed league, Warner House helped prevent Division I from becoming a romp by taking two of three from the Executioners and pulling to within , two games of the top spot. Rudy Fischl led Warner with a 505 series. The Mother Brother s and Babalews also tangled and despite the Brothers nabbing two of three, both teams are only three games out and tied for third place with the 752 Crew. _ Doug Williams was again the big story in Division II, rolling an amazing 214-191-237- 642 and again eclipsing the year's high series [ 618] which he set just a week ago. With those num hers , his Falcons swept the second place Assorted Nuts and remained in first place. Williams is destined for the pro bowlers tour or a guest s hot on 1.Jowling for Dollars.

This is a part of Perry Lichtinger' s reasoning behind making the transition from wrestling to swimming. In his first three years at Wilkes, Perry was very much involved with wrestling under Coach John G. Reese, but this season he joined the swimming team as a diver. Perry first became involved with wrestling when he was in high school, ' under Laural High School coach Beryl Cohen. He went on to become a Maryland State champion. One of the first things that attracted Perry to Wilkes was the outstanding wrestling program. He spent a great deal of his extra-curricular time imprpving his mat skills and battling for a varsity berth. Wrestling as Perry states, " takes so much time." Total dedication and long hours are needed to train and stay on top of the wrestling world. Perry had the dedication and put in m~ny hours, but last season he was hit with a seris of injuries. The injuries, "took all the fun out of wrestling," and forced him .to forgo wrestling this year, atieasi. _ Perry found it hard to stay a way from athletic competition, so he joined the swim team to experience other forms of athletic activities. He thinks of swimming as "a more individual type of sport, as compared to wrestling." Now tha t Perry is a diver, he finds more time for ot!ier extracurricular activities. He sings in the Wilkes College Chorus, is a writer for " The Beacon", assists the athletic trainer Mike Aed, works in the Public Relations Office, and will soon start working as a tutor in the Volunters for Literacy Program. At the recent Wilkes-Lehigh wrestling match, Perry kept his hand in the sport by serving as guest commentator for the college radio station, WCLH, jlS he and assistant Rich Nordheim did the match over the air. Perry find s that being involved in many activities he can meet more people and learn to use hi s time m_ore wisely.

The initial vote was made last semester during finals at a specia l meeting. A date was designated but later cancelled. The concert comm ittee was waiting to reschedule the concert. The vote was prompted after Student Government found itself in deplorable financial conditions. SG has a budget of $68,000 to deal with as they see fit. After putting aside money for Winter Weekend, the Cherry Blossum Festival, and the SG eval u ation forms only $1,000 was left. As a rule the body is expected to maintain 10 percent of the budget ($6,800) in their ac c ountatall times. SG this year, however, has been· granting fund requests to various student organizations more frequently than usual. John Senatore, SG treasurer, along with the rest of the executive council have not been monitoring the accounts throughout the year well enough to prevent this situation. SG's budget was recently increased over last year by approximately $10,000. With the rescinding of the concert vote , SG has $5,500. At the meeting they granted $80 to American Institute of Biological Sciences in order that they can sponsor a "Legs of Wilkes Contest" and a disco dance to be held in the SUB March 31. The Radio Club also re ceived up to $30 to help pay for a membership drive party they held earlier t his month. The Chem is try Club, the Accounting Club and Circle K made presentations to the body totalling $740 to be voted upon next meeting . Thtre still rem a ins seven weeks in the semester for SG to meet fund requests of clubs and organizations. Adding more pr·oblem s to the situation, Ross Mantione, film committee co-chairman, nported that the film com m ittee n eeds $200 to help pay for the last two remaining films this semester .

The band features an electric sound made up of two guitars, two organs, bass, and drums. The band, which takes its name from guitarists William Kelly and Jerry Lutcik, played to a crowd that conducted itself well. Those in attendance were treated to over two and a half hours of music which began with folk singer-guitarist Les Romain. This listener was initailly turned off by Mr . Romain's songs, which revolved around gam biers and trouble m a kers, but would have been willing to sit through an encore after hearing his driving version of the traditional folk tune "Ghost Riders in the Sky." Unfortunately Mr . Ro· main was but the warm up act for the featured .Kelly band. For the brand of music the Jerry Kelly Band plays, their sound is the best in the area. Put on a national scale or even m~asured against other new and upcoming rock bands, the Jerry Kelly Band is but anot· her decible in the din of rock music being marketed today. The band records on the CBS label and has completed a second album. Its first fea tured the pop-ish single "Magic." After hearing most of the material from the albums, neither record is on my list for future acquisitions. With two organs playing at the same time, it be-came difficult to follow the bass, which is essentia I to any band that says it plays rock and roll. The Jerry Kelly Band thus falls into that massive category called "rock." The guitars complemented each other, with Jerry Lutcik's licks and Bill Kelly's "solos" being the high spots of the show, along with the quasifunky jam at the end of "Motel Bio ~epartment to Offer Two Off-campus Courses Wilkes College Department of Biology will offer two three credit, off-cam pus, courses, one in field zoology, and one in marine biology. Both are sum· mer courses. The field zoology course will be taught by Dr. Clyde Houseknecht, as a live-in course at Camp Kresge. The camp is a 1000 acre YMCA facility near White Haven and has complete housing and dining facilities for up to 15 students. Camp Kresge has a small lake, bogs, and various types of upland forest as well as recrea tiona I opportunities such as hiking, canoeing, swimming and volleyball. This course will emphasize the classes of vertebrates and wi 11 cover sue h topics as capture, identification, marking and preservation. Thfl marine biology course will be taught by Dr. Louis Rigley and will be an intensive surveyoftheanimaland plant life found in the Florida Keys area. The course includes the taxonomy, physiology, morphology, behavior, and ecology a•ssociated with coral reefs. The course will stress the interrelationships of the loca I fauna using primarily living specimens. The course will have two phases, the first will be a ten Lovers . " Vocally, the band uses little harmony, and on most numbers the six m em· hers sing melody. This comes offastoomuch, and often only two of the six voices are in tune. Lyrically, the band's songs deal with such significant top · ics as motel romance and the joy of being in love- -areas which have been covered by scores of writers for- scores of years. Overall, the band lacks the crucial gimic . for today's rock world. It is difficult to gain notoriety without attractive blonde vocalists, wild outfits, a stage act, or songs with obvious sexual or drug images. With CBS as a backer and the chance that the band's new a I bum could outsell its previous release, it is possible that the Jerry Kelly Band can a void bee om ing a bargain bin curio. Amazing things can be done in the studio; the proper sou·nd for those FM airways can be manufactured. If the band takes a warm up position on the tour of a more . well known group and com es up with a marketable FM album, it could gain some recognition ahd earn a respectable living in them usic business.

Policy in Process of Review According to P r esiden t Capi n, there ha v e b een sev e r al policies in existence withi n t h e pastd e ca'd e . The pre sent policy came into being in 1972-73 and is currently in the process of being reviewed. When asked why an ad hoc committee was organized ( over one and one-half years ago) to review the whole concept of tenure and tenure policies at the college, Ca pin responded, " The faculty wants to operate in a manner which is more consistant with the AAUP ( American Association of University Professors) policy; they have reaffirmed the need for tenure." "Some people have raised the question as to the releva nee of tenure - does it mean academic freedom , or does it mean job security? The reason for th is is that once tenure is granted there's a certain amount of inflex ibility in m ak'ing decisions regarding t he s ize of t he staff."

Apparently there are many problems involved in the idea to add student mail boxes in the new SUB . For instance, the postal service does not want to deliver mail to these boxes; no legaal documents may be sent to them ( including college bills, grades, etc.), it will cost the college and inevitably the students , to have a person take charge of the new boxes; and the cos t of them ail boxes could be e x tremel y high.

YOUR STEREO HEADQUARTERS COME SEE BOB and JOE March 13 �Page 6, The Beacon, March 1, 1979 LONG, HARD SEASON? N.O, WE BLEW IT!!!!!!! The Wilkes College men's basketball team ended the 1978-79 season with a 9-15 record, which was better than last year's horrible 5-18 slate. But still, head coach Rodger Bearde, the team itself,and most of the Colonel fans, were not satisfied with the results. It's simple why. We could have been better. Much better. The Blue and Gold won o.nly one road game all year and that was am ea ningless tilt with Kean College. They lost their last five games and seven of the final eight. That's not the best way to go out in style, right? But, even though it was not a great year for Wilkes, the Blue and Gold did have a shot for a post-season tourney appearance. A shot?, hell they had three of them, and blew them all!!! First came in Scranton when if Wilkes won, they would advance into the MAC playoffs with King's. Our Leading Scorers Kendall McNeil John Zapko Mike Mc Carrie Artie Meigh JoeMcCrae 20.5 15.3 13.4 5.0 4.7 heroes fell to the Royals 81-73 and all hopes looked bleak. But, then a miracle. On the last day of ' MAC regular seas<rn action, Sera nton fell to Susquehanna in the afternoon and a Wilkes win that night would put us into the playoffs. You guessed it, Wilkes lost 85-77,and we were not in, yet. Wilkes received a third wish and a playoff was set up with Scranton at the King's Gym last week.

Marshall led the team in assists this season and Zapko, who is ranked in the top three in the country, was the team's top rebounder the last three seasons. Gaetano Photos MAGUIREPLACESINMAC Michelle Maguire won three medals at the MAC-swimming championships at 'Johns Hopkins University over the weekend. The freshman student placed fourth in the women's 200 yd. butterfly in 2:.24.6, sixth in the 200 yd. individual medley in 2:26.1, and fifth in the 100 yard butterfly in 1: 05. A form er Meyers High School swimmer, Maguire set a Wilkes school record earlier this year in the 200 yd. butterfly with a time of 2: 23.5. Diver Perry Lichtinger placed in the consolation finals in 1-m eter diving and in the consolation finals in the 3-m eter di ving. The MAC women's record in 1-m eter diving, set last year by Wilkes diver Cindy Glawe, was broken this year by Patti Strohecker of Ursinus. The Mid-Atlantic swimming conference draws competition from colleges in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Johns Hopkins gained its ninth consecutive MAC title in the men's swimming, while Gettysburg dominated the women's events. • This past season was a dis-· ma I one for the Colonel swimmers sporting a 0-11 record. After coming back from their first winning season ( 6-5) last year but loosing seven lettermen to graduation the swim wasn't left with much to work with. The team had no seniors, four juniors, and freshmen and sophomores making up the rest of the small squad. The team practiced only five hours a week, late at night, at the King's College pool. One could say that the conditior<; were not ideal and those who stuck out the season were tru iy dedicated. The highlights of the season involved two team records being broken. Team captain Jim Edwards set a new mark in the 200 freestyle with a 2: 01 and Maguire broke the butter- MICHELLE MAGUIRE 'fly mark twice. She also set a pool record at Lock Haven State College in the 100 yd. butterfly with a 1: 06. Edwaros lead the team in total team points scored with Maguire a close second and Lictinger third. The rest of the team scored as follows: John Moffatt, Rob Doty, Sarah Farley, Valerie Van Dyke, Liz Hendrixson, Megan Caverly, Alan Shaw, and Martha Lasco. Thanks must be extended to F. Char Jes Petrillo who took on the .assignment of team director for the season and really helped the team above and beyond the call of duty. "See, I told you we could beat those guys.!" This is not a quote muttered by Lt. Calley after the Mai Lai incident, but that of Enzo Ferrar after UpIn-Sm oke massacred the Sixers to end the dispute for supPemacy in the Division A jungle. Playing without Pete Cosgrove, Dave Taylor and - Bill Polaha, all resting for the playoffs, Up-In-Smoke's roster was reduced to six players . But this loss was offset by the absence of Sixer's head coach Mark Rado who could h-a ve added twenty points to 'his team's score. In the end it was the play on the court that would decide a victor and UpIn-Smoke led by Flo Ferrar's and Gary Troski's sharpshooting, came out on top. This win completed a perfect 7-0 season for U-I-S, but who cares. They still must win the A tournament to retain the No. 1 ranking. In other A action, the Sixers rebounded with a trouncing of the Clrganization 67-66. George Carey and Boog Brezenski~ who led the Sixers scoring, later commented, "The game was really never close." Rob Irwin, returning after a month long sebaticle, led the Organization with 26 tallies . Also, Priapus nipped the Hum <lingers 72-66 with Marvin Gardins\eading the scoring with four. The B Division took a look towards the playoffs. A needed qualifying game was played between the 752 Crew and the Togas, and it was the Crew that sailed 32-27. The Togas could not stop the ruthless attack of big Colonel Kush inside. But Dan "Windmill" Cardell and Jerry Bird Ross knocked down the outside attack. Mark Zabitz, stunned after scoring his first two points, later explained "And I was trying to get it to Jerry." The win qualified 752 Crew for the B Division playoffs. The other seven teams include: Luke's Skywalkers, Roosevelt DiMedla, Barons, Studs, Prep H and Stoners. It looks like a tough playoff with the favorites being Eddie White's Barons, undefeated this year and Prep H, also with a perfeet slate. In the A lea·gue, it looks like Up in Smoke will be the longshot choice. The championship games will be played tonight. Jay Mack BOWLING RESULTS Most of the news in the Wilkes College mixed bowling league again occured in Division I as the current divisional leaders, the Executioners defeated last semester's champs, the 752 Crew, two games out of three. The Exec's Karl Blight tossed a 584 series including a 224 that helped his team to win the third game by only one pin. The Babelews led by Crazy Jay Mack 557, continued their resurgence by sweeping Sleazy AMF and pulling to within two games of the top spot while the Mothers Brothers, with much improved Darrell Evans rolling a 536 took two of three from Warner House and moved into a thirdplace tie with their victims. In Division II, the Falcons quietly stretched their winning streak to nine games by blanking the Avengers. All the other contenders stumbled as teams two through four each lost more games than they won. However the Pygmies held onto .second, three behind the Falcons, by dropping two games to the oncoming Vet's Club. Other scores: Judy Bellas 191-485, Doug Williams 213564, Dave Jennings 522, Rudy Fischel 518, Sheree Kessler 468, Peggy Siem on 365, Shep Wilner 406, John Yudichak 475 and Bryan Scott 496. WHAT'S GOING ON - Wilkes cage coach Rodger Bearde seems to be asking a question everybody is asking now, whether or not he will be back next year as coach. The Beacon sports staff hopes somebody says something definite soon or our men's basketball program will fail. Will someone out there wake up!!!!! go on to the MAC playoffs and the loser would go home. Well, the count was already 0-2 on us, as we failed in the last two chances and by now everybody knows, there is no joy in Colonel-land, the mighty Colonels have struck out. The Royals won and went into the playoffs with King's representing the Northern DivisionWest section. Both the • Monarchs and Royals were knocked off in the first round and Elizabethtown eventually captured the MAC. If you look back, Wilkes hammered E-town 55-42 earlier this year at the Wilkes Gym, where else. So, in a sense that could have been Wilkes in the MAC title holder's spot. But it is not, and don'tl.!)t anybody fool you, Wilkes has to go a long way before it gets up to par with Scranton and King's. Now, don ' t give me that crap about us being just as good as King' s and better than Scranton . When the money was on the line, we choked. King's beat us twice, they were close, but they beat Wilkes. And Scranton won two of three this season from the Wilkesm en. Telling it like it is, Wilkes is the third best college team in Northeastern Penn sylvania . Bearde feels Wilkes is two players a way from being. a top contending club . "We lose a lot in Za pko, but we lia veto make it up and this year's freshmen will be counted on very hea vily next season." Next year ' s team will center around Kendall McNeil the leading scorer this season with a 20.5average. IfMCNeil is not the captain next year, there ought to be an investigation. Mike Mc Carrie will also have to build up the offense left by the departure of the Zaperoooo. McNeil finishes the year as the MAC's second leading scorer with a 23.0 average and is fifth in free-throw pct. and eighth in field- goal pct. Zapko is ranked No. 1 in the MAC in rebounding for the second straight year and is third nationally. Rick Marshall's ball-handling and experience will be missed by Moon Mc Cue will become one of the greatest guards in Wilkes history over the next three seasons. · Look for Artie Meigh to average in double figures next year as his offensive time born b gets ready to explode. Kevin Walker, who Bearde feels will be the starter next year, will have to gain some weight and ~ould be awesome. Coach Bearde has already made plans on his recruiting trips this season, but it has not been officially announced whether or not he will be back next year as coach. Our sources say yes, but nothing is official. Whoever is in charge of saying yes or no, should do so soon as to let Bearde know what is going on and if a new coach has to be brought in, give him a chance to recruit. If they keep taking a lot of time to decide, the Wilkes basketball · program will fall. Bearde has battled many obstacles the last few years to rebuild the program and all will go for nought if nothing is announced soon. The program will without a doubtfail if something official is not stated soon. Maybe,· somebody in the big white castle, wants it that way. · Eddie Whjte III \... ,j �March I, 1979, The Beacon, Page 7 DENSBERGER, HOUsE ·cHAMPS Best Showing E_ v er: Wilkes 2nd In EIWA L Last Friday afternoon, the Wilkes College wrestlers and Pope John Reese packed their bags and ventured to Princeton University for the prestigious 75th annual Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association ( EIWA) tournament and Monday they returned horn e with the highest place-finish since incel?tion into the league four years ago.

BobGaetano WornenE~ngSeas00; Kendig All-Time Scorer Women's basketball team ended up either dead even or with its second-ever winning . season, depending on what happened last night at Misericordia. Odds are the cagers turned in their second straight winning season with a 12-10 slate. _ The season had more potentia I than the fina.l record shows, but injuries cut depth to a shallow level and perhaps the worn en tired near the end of a sea son that a c tua ll'y began way bacli: in Septem her .• I There was no playoff berth at the end, although it can· honestly be said that Wilkes de- · served to be in the MAC title race more so than did some of the teams that finally made it. As an illustration, in their first meeting with Scranton U, the MAC champs, the Blue and Gold were only ten point losers. But there's no use talking a bout things that might have been. The Colonels did post only their second winning season in varsity history with a squad that had dwindled down to eight by the end of the season. Fortunately those eight included the likes of Diane Kendig, who came unbelievably close to recording a career 1000 point as a sophomore. The 5'5" guard set a num her of college records and is without a doubt the best fem ale basketball player Wilkes has ever seen. She finished with well over 500 season points for a 24.1 average, recorded 130 steals, and boasted an 81 percent foul shooting pe-rcentage. Her stats earned her recognition in the Eastern Women's Basketball Association, and placed her as the MAC's leading scorer. She was consistently high scorer for the Colonels this year. The "Board Sisters," Debbie and Lynn Yedlock, provided the rebounding punch, hauling down over 400 rbs between them. Senior co-captain Debbie also scored more than 158 points, while Lynn added in excess of 209. Junior Mary Jo Frail, a·t 5'10" the team's tallest player, alternated at both guard and forward, and scored over 184 points. She also led in assists and was noted for both her ability to lead the offense and her -spectacular 25-foot shots. Ellie Adams, a freshman transfer, was a valuable ad.dition to the squad, quickly bee om ing one of the top scorers. She helped fill t _h e gaps left by freshmen Kathy McHale and Mary Jean. Farrell, both of whom were. lost early in the season. Junior Sue Freda, who was plagued with ligament damage to her knee most of the second half, was an important offensiv_e weapon, as well as being tough on D. Co-captain Nancy Johnson anchored the bench by providing depth at the forward spot, and had a good sense of offense. Freshman Mary Lynne Dreibelbis was a pleasant surprise and was counted on to fill in at either guard or forward. St,e often added a spark to the squad when she entered the game. Pam Snyder was also a · sparkplug with her quickness and hustle, and like Dreibelbis, shows a lot of potential. The posting of only the second winning season was a fitting way for Coach Sandra Bloom berg to close out an illustrious career as both a player and a coach. Bloomberg, who is the only fem ale at Wilkes to have her number retired, last year led the Colonels to their -first winnin_g season. The highlight of this season, in addition to Kendig's phenomenal ,performance, had to be the stunning upset over Bloomsburg. Unfortunately, that game was probably the peak of the cagers' efforts, for the rest of the season was dis appointing. The lowlights had to be the twin losses to King's. These in effect ruined Wilkes' chances to make MAC playoffs and win the Letter worn en Tourna ment, and were especially gloomy since Wilkes is obviously the better team. All in all, the 1978-79 season was one to remember for its outstanding individuals and team effort in the face of some not-so-fortunate circumstances. With two consecutive good seasons.in the books, the women's basketball program now appears to have the foundation it needs to build into a highly-respected one. Already the team has risen into the ranks of such teams as Immaculata through the perform a nee of Kendig and the team as a whole. If a coac bing decision is made in time to a !low the new men tor to build for next year, the team could continue to bee om e a force to reckon with in the MAC.

Hoover, a native of Glen Lyon, since joining the college in 1955 has served in a variety of capacities including business education faculty m em her, director of financial aid, student activities advisor, alumni relations and cummunity affairs director. He now holds the position of assiciate dean of student affairs.The Dean graduated from Wilke§ in 1955 and then went on to r eceive his M.EJ;>. from Penn State University. He also has additional gradua te credits at Leh ig h University and Penn State. "U ncle Art," a nickname coined by form er wrestling great Lon Bal um, fits Mr. Hoover we 11. He loves his work as associate dean of student affairs beca use of its close association with t he under each of the college's three pr'esiden ts, (about 28 years). Fifteen of those years were spent living on campus. One memory Hoover has is of watching Dr. Farley , Wilkes' first president, stop students from walking down the street holding hands. "Students are a reflection of the times but, I wouldn't say that they have changed much ." He adds, "I am a great believer of people reaching their goals. Over the years I have noticed that the biggest problem students have had is a lack of selfconfidence. They sell them selves short, they don't believe in their own a hilities." Art Hoover concerns of students. Hoover states, "The student is the focal point of this institution. We are inte rested in develop ing each stu.dent to reach his or her potential. · Every person has .within them some worth or value. Of course, its harder to getotitofsome than it is others out, the effort spent iswellworththerewards." Mr. _Hoover has been here long enough .to have served Theobald, Gries, Glunk Elected Class Preside·nts ~ue Theobald, Colleen Gries, and Dave G)unk were elected class pre~1dents ~or theclassesof1980, 81,and 82 respectively in voting last Tu~sday • . · , 1:heo~ald and Gr_1es defeated rncu~bentcand1dates, and Glunk _1s also a newcomer to the office. For the class of 1980, a good voter turnout of 153 helped Theobald win big over Jim Martin, 83-54. Barry Williams won easily over Da.ve Samsel and Joel Kane in the VP ra ce. The biggest vote-getter of the class of 1980wasKathyTyahla,who earned 100 votes to the 48 garnered by Eddie White III in the race for secretary_ The closest election in the class was for treasurer. Dave Rash, who put up a tough campaign, couldn't gather enough votes to defeat incumbentDonnaGrontkowski: The difference was seven votes. In the class of 1981, Colleen Gries won easily over incumbentPatMcNamara, Marla Brodsky , and Carol Benek. Tom McDonald again was elected vice president, defeating Norm Witko. Margaret Scholl and Bill Miller won the races for sec retary and treasurer over opponents Donna Fitt and Barb Landis. Nest year's junior class wil have th ree commuters in office, which is an unusual situation. Dave Glunk emerged as the winner of the class of 1982' s presidential race, finishing in front of five other candidates. Th e "also-rans" were Roya Fahmy, James Bell, Al Wirkman,JohnWischhusen,and John Ziminski. • Pat Murnin was elected vice president over Rich Cassidy, Laura Danowski, J essica Kwiatkowski, and Bob Lash- cock. SueTomalis, the bigge st vote-getter of the entire election, won th¢ class secretary race over- Theresa Gabana with 102 Steve Voyce was elected class' treasurer, winningov'~r.M1miKikitchura and Donna Newlin. · Jini Edwards · ··L· · ■, ·st. e · votes.: Registration Schedul·e· SENIORS-Class of 1980 Pre-registration April 2 & 3.

Another more recent concern that has Mr. Hoover worried about students is class cutting. _"There is definitely a correla t1on between missing class and grade performance. I'm aware of t he complaints students ha ve in regard s to some teachers bu t, it's a matter of self-disclipine on the part of the student. The students and their ))arents are paying quite a lot of money to receive a good education but it's being wasted by not at tending class." _S peaki!)g of. com plaints and c riticism the Dean put forth this comment,"Hey, I don't ~ ind criticism, its part of my Job to deal with it. Criticism is -necessary for improvement and I'm ready to listen to anyone who has criticism. I'll ne ve r condemn anyone for criticizing me or this institution as long as they have a positive alternative a va ila hie." · 'Tm really honored and flattered about the Roast and I'm sure it will turn out to be great fun for all who attend." "Uncle Art" finished by saying, "This work is my life. I guess I've b_een here as long as most others. I'll hold on to all them em ories, both good and bad, for the rest of my life ."

Housing Director Joe Marchetti, when approached with the issue would not comment on the probability of Co-ed dorms. He did say that the issue was still under careful study by the administration and added that another student questionnaire will be conducted by the Deans Council addressing Co-ed housing before the semester ends. · The Jong awaited St. Pat's party is to be held ·this Friday night in the Hotel Sterling lobby and balcony. The band will be "Eastbound" (formerly known as B.B. King) and there will be a cash bar serving both liquor and beer. Prices reportedly will be reasonable, but there will-be a $1 cover charge at the door. The event will start at 9: 00 and continue on through 1: 00 p.m. A parody" Johnny Carson Show" is to be presented on Part Time Job Available April8th.DeanRalstonwillbe one of the many "celebritie~" on hand as guests.

In m em orium to the late Mark Littlefield, a freshman who was tragically killed in a car accident in his hometown earlier this semester, there will be two pages dedicated in the yearbook and also the outside basketball court by Pickering Hall will be in his memory. Tony Lillis ! St. Pat,s Party Tomorrow l I The Commuter Council and the Inter-Dormitory Council will hold a St. Patrick's Day Party tomorrow, March 23, from 9-1: 00 at the Sterling Hotel. There will be munchies (chips, pretzels, dip, pizza squares and a _ cash bar). Music will be furnished by Eastbound with dancing in the lobby . Admission price is $1. The council stated that the party was changed from its original time and place due to the fact, that the American Legion cancelled out less than a week before. The reason for the cancellation was cited as being the Legion's unwillingness to have underage students drinking in their establishment, which could result in a loss of their liquor liscense. This last minute cancellation did not give the council much time to find anotherplacetoholdtheparty or a band to play at it. CC plans to send a letter of ·protest to the Park and Lock regarding the Parking Authority's recent proposal to do away with daily rates and .have monthly rates only. The council feels that the proposal is unfair to the students who do not use the facility everyday. A proposal was suggested to hold a Commons Queen contest in the near future. The contest will involve voting, judging, a crowning ceremony, and prizes. From the tentative plans the contest seems to be a spoof and should turn out to be enjoy a hie and memorable. Plans have also been set in motion for a '60's party. Based on the '50's parties of the past the '60's party will feature Student Awards Luncheon Scheduled for April 19 The annual Student Awards Luncheon will be held Thursday, April 19, 11: 15 a.m. in the lounge of the ,Doroty Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. According to Art Hoov-er, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, the purpose of the luncheon is to recognize those students who have distinguished them selves both in and out of the classroom. This luncheo·n also serves as the' needed vehicle to recognize students in the freshman thr_ough senior classes. Although all awards are published in the Commencement program, the only a wards to be made at Comm enc em ent include the Alumni award for Leadership, · the Dean's Awards, and three divisional awards. Hoover noted . that .a memorandum went out on March 15 to all department ch~irpersons, a_dm~nistrativ_e officers, organ1zat10n pres1- dents and special presenters concerning their selection for these a wards. Decisions should be made and submitted . to Dean Hoover by April 12. Some of the a wards to be presented include: Who's Who; Male and female Beacon athletes; departmental a wards; IDC a wards; SG appreciation award; and others. Dean Hoover is chairman of the luncheon, while other speakers will be President Capin and Dean Ralston. · Reenie Corbett i ♦ ♦ : KEEFER'S ARMYand NAVY STORE Clubs Help WVIA 2-70Wyoming Avenue-Kingston YOUR DENIM SUPER MARKET HEADQUARTERS FOR , t ♦ ♦• : ♦ ♦• ♦.---- •♦ LEE-lEVI & WRANGLER·JEANS ♦ ♦ ♦• ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ : ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦ Two instrumental recitals are scheduled for this weekend at thil Dorothy Dickson Darte Gies Recital Hall.

A suggestion was made that CC sponsor a volleyball tournamentinvolving commuters and resident students. The idea behind the tournament is to get the commuters and res idents involved and to provide a tension reliever at this "Hectic" time of the school year. Tom Brooks proposed that CC talk about what action can be taken to a void the conflicts in the scheduling of student activities at Wilkes. The council agreed that the issue would be taken up at a later date.

He's - the guy in charge of handing out detention and making sure no one smoked in the bathrooms. Well, sometimes Joe Marchetti,Director of Housing feels the com paTison made between him and that unlovable vice-principal is far too close for his liking. "It's mostly Freshmen and Sophorri ores who draw this analogy"he says,"once students find out our real function they let their guard down and view us differently." By us,Marchetti is referring to Jeanne Conway (better known as M.C.) assistant director of Housing with whom Joe shares much of his responsibility. M.C.is retiring June 1st and Joe realizes thii great amount of work which will be created by her abs en se, Obviously she has done an outstanding job during her ten years at Wilkes. Getting back to the "viceprincipal" thing, Marchetti would rather people look on him as one who can help them out with housing ... or any problem they may have.

"I'll last to the end of the day," says Marchetti, "then I'll take tomorrow in stride." · Ed Van Buren with students." One of the biggest reasons for this direct contact has to do with the location of the Housing office right outside the cafeteria. Marchetti considers this direct contact to be unique among colleges. However it does lead to one consequence in that students often view thP office as a "ready-made Complaint Department" of anything from poor food to tough courses. "Although we are Directors of Hotising,"says Marchetti, "we are open to supply any information that people seek. We act on any com plaint we get( within reason) ." When a-cting on a com plaint the office attempts to follow a channel route which goes from the student to his or her RAtoMarchettiwhoifnecessary takes the complaint to Dean Ralston and ultimately President Ca pin. Joe encourages students to use these channels when a com plaint arises. Now that we've established an insight into the Housing Office and Joe Marchetti we can.spend some time with his views on such things as Coed dorms, Fraternities, Building maintenance, RA selection so o n.

He then shook the hands of all his players and then he hugged them a s if they were all his sons. He then em braced his long-time friend and rival AI.McGuire, the greatest color-man bas~etball has today, pro or college. He, is 65-year old Ray Meyer, the coach of the DePaul Blue Demons the last 37 years. , For the first time in his long illustrious career, Ray Meyer will take his team to them agic "Final Four" i~ the NCAA ba s ketball championships, called by some as the greatest sporting event in America. De Paul will join other surprise entires Indiana State, Michigan State and Cinderella herself, Penn in the finals this weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah. On sight, Meyer seems to be a cross between General Patton and Santa Claus. At one minute he is the disciplinarian drawing respect from his players, and then he his as lovable and cuddly as Kermit the Frog, drawing love from his players and giving all he has. He's a remakable man, this Ray Meyer. He has taken his team from an early season also-ran and made it into one of the top teams in the 11.ftion. · Ray Meyer and his Blue Demons are only one fourth of the final four, here are the others: · INDIANA STATE -the Sycamores are the "Penn St. gridmen of college basketball" for they play a weak schedule like Paterno's Lions. The only top-notch team the Sycs have met was Arkansas and Sidney Moncrief, which they downed by two-points oh a buzzer-shot. Coach Bill Hodges does have Larry Bird, everybody's MVP in college basketball, but one man does not a team make. And don't let their undefeated record mislead you. Anyoll'e can go undefeated playing Ball St., Morris Harvey, and Va. Tech. Al McGuire says start your season with Cupcake U. to get it rolling, but not every game. Because of Indiana State's weak schedule and_the class and emotion of Ray Meyer, we like DePaul over the Sycamores by possibly as many as eight or ten. In the other game it will be "magic" against "miracle". MICHIGAN STATE -The Spartans are led by thee best passer in the country Earvin Johnson [are you listening Bird _ watchers] and Greg Keiser, who can score 30 points without looking. The Spartans peaked last week in the demolishing of the one e-grea t Notre Dame fighting Irish, who have problems playing without a coach. Coach Jud Heathcote has a tremendous "Dynamic Duo" and many feel no one will stop Michigan State from winning it all. PENNSYLVANIA - Standing in the way of the Spartans is miracle Penn, which has come out of nowhere to capture the hearts of every basketball fan from the Mississippi to the Atlantic Oc .e an. Penn has given the Ivy League the most exposure it has had since the days of Dollar Bill Bradley at Princeton. The Quakers of second-year coach Bob Weinbauer made it to the Final Four by downing, get this, Iona, North Carolina, Syracuse and a tough St. John's team. That's a season right there. And as far as Penn i-s concerned, the PRICE is right, as in Ivy MVP Tony Price, a sure first-round pick int he NBA next year. As the Easterners that we are, we would like to see Penn down the Magic Show from East Lansing, but forget it, even Cinderella lost her shoe once. Look for the Spartans to nip the Quakers by a basket at the buzzer when Johnson passes alleyopp to Keiser for a "In-Your-Face" slam. So, now we have a title game of DePaul and Michigan State, which has the makings of a rout. Many cage experts would feel that the Spartans would have an easy time with the small school from Chicago. But, not us. We feel Meyer's emotion and intensity will carry the Blue Demons and freshman Mark Aguire to the title. Look for Aguire, at 6-7 the best frosh-in the countr y , to control the game and silence Johnson. DePaul will win the NCAA title for the 65- ear old tedd beard, 78-72 • ..a.WE'RE JUST SEVEN WILD AND CRAZY GUYS - Wilkes College· wrestlers celebrate their fine showing in the EIWA Tourney at Princeton University, where· Coach John Reese's club finished second to powerful Lehigh University. Left to right are Bryan Billig, Casper Tortella , Rick Smith, Bart Cook, Danny House, Mark Densberger, and Denny Jacobs. ·WRESTLING SEASON OVER, FINISH 27TH IN NATION Although Wilkes College was unable to gain an individual place winner in the NCAA wrestling championships two weeks ago at Iowa State U., they did manage to garner 27th place to duplicate 1977's performance. · The Colonels were given a pre -tourney ranking of 18, but a few mistakes and upsets ended t,h e possibility of finishing among the "Top 20." Wilkes also had three wrestlers seeded in Bryan Billig,· 12th at 126; Mark Dens berger, 7th at 158; and Danny 'Disco" House, 8th at hwt. After the second day of wrestling, soph Billig was the lone survivor. Dens berger was upset in his · first bout by Mike Pheanis of N. Illinois 6-4 in overtime. The regulation match score was ' 4-4. The junior from Danville finished the season with a overall record of 25-1-1, including first places in the EIWA and Bingham ton tourneys. Mark set a new school mark this past season with 18 dual wins in one year and will return to shoot for career records next season. House, a post -grad from Norfolk, Va., completed his last season with a dual record .of 15-2 and was 22-4 overall. House broke Joe Wiendl's record of 49 dual career wins, when he garnered his 50th against Franklin and Marshall in the last match of the year. His career mark in duals ended at 50-19-1. The "Brick House" lost his first match and then decked MAC champ Gene Powell in the loser's bracket at the NCAA' s. But Jeff Grier of Augustanno ended House's hopes with a 10-2 decision . Billig posted a 7: 54 fall over UCLA's Harlan Kissler, but bowed before Kevin Puebla of Ill. 13-8 in the second round. Billig then prevailed over highly-touted Don Cuestas of _Cal Poly, 15-10 in the next match. However, Missouri's Keith Whelan took advantage of Billig's tired and injuryridden body and won by dee . to eliminate the New Tripoli, Pa . native. Billig completed his second year in a Blue and Gold uniform with a 24-5-1 record. Unseeded Casper Tortella grabbed two victories before losing in the second round of the preliminaries. The senior co-captain from Paulsboro, N.J. dee. Andy Lokie of Ohio and defaulted Slippery Rock's Steve Roberts. Bill Cripps of Arizona State clamped him in 3: 46 in the 142 class. Casper ended 1978-79 with a 25-4 slate ,and was voted South Jersey's -outstanding . senior wrestler jbY the S. Jersey Coaches Association. It's a prestigi_o us award for a N.J grappler and both Coach Reese and Coach Fredr-i c k, his high scho o l men tor, were very happy with the selection. Carmel Morina of Temple was Tortella's high school teammate and was s econd in voting for the award. Casper was a two-time NCAA qualifier for Wilkes the last two years. Bart Cook captured a third place at 177 in the EIWA' sand won a 12-8 dee. over OK . Gary Germundson before losing by a fall in 2: 59 to Fla . 's Bill Teutsch. Cook ended the year at16-3and it was the second time he competed in the NCAA event, as he qualified his sophomore year. The junior from Neptune , N.J . red -shirted last year and will be welcomed back for another season next winter . It was a long, but rewarding season for Wilkes--as they tied the 1976-77 record for 17 dual wins in one season. Our Colonels finished second in the EIWA tourney for their best showing ever. Coach John Reese carries a 267-58-8 slate into his 27th season next year and asst. coach Tim McGinley will supply the optimism . Reeese will be out to fill the vacancies left by Tortella, Alex Grohol and House, with recruiting. MAT MATTERS: .. Casper leaves Wilkes with a 40-10-1 career dual record and a 58-16 -1 overall slate. Grohol was 12-2-1 overall this year and 19-8-1 life dual. House posted a 50-19-1 dual mark ..

Dana, 235 South Franklin Street, has had water pr oblems in t he pa st, but was faced with the most se rious problems Tu es day. According to Marion ?ones of maint~nance, the street collapsed, crushing a sewer pipe , and ma king it impossible for Dana resid_ents tc. use water for sanitary purposes or for bathmg. Water and sewage has been draining into the basem entof the dorm for the past week and majntenance men have been unplugging th~ sewer pipe every otb,er day, along with draining the basement. However, on Tuesday the pipe could not be unplugged, and Dana residents were told that they would be moved out of the dorm. The worn en quickly decorated the front of the building with signs that indicated their feelings. Among them were "PG&WWhere Are You," "Hell No We Won't Go, " "We Want Water," and "Fix Our Pipes. " An emergency dorm meeting was scheduled for Tuesday night, but was .cancelled when PG&W offie ia ls rev ea led that they would meet with the city Redevelopment Authority to decide who would fix the pip e. Ca th y Rowlands, a resident of Dana, stated that s he and Linda Price went to City Hall Wednesday morning and spoke with the mayor's secretary . She contacted the sewer department arid was told that it would repair the sewer line and "establish blame later," making whomever was responsible for the damage pay for r e pairs. The Beacon contacted several city departments , none of whom knew anything about the situation. Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company (PG&W) was then contacted, and The Beacon was told that a Mr . P etro ski knew everything about the situation. However, Petroski refused to d ev ulge any informat ion . SG Members Take No Action On Election Amendment A motion to a m e nd the Student Government constitution in order that any SG repre sentative may run for any office on SG, regardless of time served, was discussed at length at Monday's SG meeting. However, no vote was taken and the motion was ta bled for nex t yea r. Th e propo sa l, written by Joel Kane, read "To amend Visitation Day This Sunday "Wilke:; College Vi:;itatiuh Day," organized by the admissions staff, will take place this Sunday. According to Debra Bergen, Assistant Dean of Adm issions, Visitation Day gives those students who have been accepted to Wilkes, as well as their parents, t he opportu nity to bee om e better acquainted with the administrato r s, faculty, student body and cam pus facilities. The overall purpose of ·t his day to enable stud ents considering enteri ng Wilkes to learn more a bout their specific area of interest and tom eet those people at the co ll ege with whom they would be working-. Bergen stated that th e re are th ree different sched ul es or gan ized to run co ncurrently t hroughout the d ay. They are set u p for: 1.) Those who do not want financial aid. 2.) those who do not want lunch. 3. ) those who j ust want to tour t he cam pus . Furthermore, faculty tables will be set up in the library with r.eprese ntatives from each department available to talk with students interested in those areas. Student gro ups and organizatio ns wills.et up booths in SLC to familiarize prospective stud e nts with col lege activities. Th e Assistant Dean is look ing forward to a success ful day, as close to 700 people have made plans with the admissions office to attend . Reenic Corbett the constitution to provide a me ans for any Student Gov ernm entrepresenta tive to run for an office on Student Government, regardless of time served on Student Gov ernment. " As it is cu rrently written in the constitution, SG presidential nominees must "have served /I t least one term ." ( One term constitutes one full year.) The debate that then followed covered several areas. The need for experience was one issue cited. Thos e agai nst th e mo tio n argued that a full year's experience is necessary to fullfill the post, while those for stated that if the desire is t h ere to work on Student Gove rnm e n t, t h en a person should not be denied the opportu nity to run for the office. It was pointed out t ha t a student who wins the e lection this Thursday as a SG repre- · sen ta ti_ve , with no previous experience, cou ld then tur n and conceivably run for SG president and win. These students feel that t h e electio ns are ba sed upon a popularity contest, and t h e r efo r e t hi s particular candidate may not be well s uited for t h e job. There also seemed to be much amb iguity abo ut the writing of the ame ndment. Steve Kir s hner, SG president, feels t h at the term "a ny Student Government r eprese ntative" seems to imply that past SG r e pr esen tatives who were not currently on SG could also run for an office. Kane argued that an ex-representative is just that -- an ex -representative. A -ruling was a sked from the parliamentarian but was never given. The discussion co ntinued for several minutes and it was then de ci d e d that the motion should be ta bled and dis c uss ed at a later date. No vote was taken on the proposal ; howev e r, the genera Im ood of t h em eeting indicated it would hav e been d efeated b y a 2 to 1 margin. The purpose of the amendment was to widen the scope of possible candidates to run for SG president. From the cur- Attempts to co n ta ct college officials before press time were hamper ed by most ·_administrators attending t h e weekly campaign luncheon , but Marion Jones was contacted after it was learned that Addy Asphalt, a private contractor, was r epa irin g the sewer pip.e.Jones confirmed this, and note d that service to the dorm should be r estored by Wednesday night. Residents of the dorm had been using facilities at both New Me n's Dorm and the gym while regular service was not available. The real storyJies in trying to determine just who is 'responsible for the problem, with no one willing to assume responsibility. Dana residents blame PG&W, claiming that only afte r the utility dug up the streets just before spring break did the problem beg in. Marion J on es stated that in hi s opinion st r eet paving was don e too quickly, b efore all conditions wer e right. Whether or not the red tape is ever untan g led, it is d e finite t ha t the problem is being resolved, and will probably be corrected by t he time th is issu e is pub lis h ed. Wilma Hurst r e nt list of poss_ible candidates, insiders _ on SG say there will only be one nominee this year . In other SG business, the academic committee reported that the booklets containing the results of the teacher evaluations will be out within the next week. Proceedings have also started for this semester's evaluation and only those professors who allow SG to come into the c lassroom will only be eva luated. There will be no eva luat ing outside the classroom. Julie Kent, academic committee c h airman, reported t hat this Thursday during the SG and Commuter Coun cil representatives elections a survey will be conducted co ncerning how stud ents feel a bout th e n ew grading policy.

Louis Czachor March 29, 1979, The Beacon, Page 3 - - - - C C King & Queen------, Commons Contest Listed Plans are underway for the Commons King and Queen contest. The Commuter Council is drawing up a list of qualifications based on last year's Commons Queen winner. If you didn't know there was a Commons Queen last year don't be surprised, the event was not very large then. CC is planning to have the King and Queen crowned with a Burger King crown and possibly serenaded by music majors. One of the possible prizes is dinner at the Commons. Details for nominations and voting will be decided ata futu-re CC meeting. The council discussed fur- ''Conversations with an Irish Rascal'' to Op.en April 5 "On March 20, 1964, Brendan Behan, housepainter, patriot, writer and drinker, fought and lost his last battle." These lines open and close a play that ~ill open at the Center for the Performing ,Arts next week. It seems a melancholy quote at beginning and end, but during the time between there will be a great deal of laughter and a few tears. The play is entitled "Conversations with an Irish Rascal" starring David Fendrick, and ' to the list of adjectives describing Behan, Rascal should be at least in the top three. Over and over again Fendrick demonstrates the typically Irish trait of finding humor in even the most t ragic circum stances and of being able to get a way with them ost bla t- ant irreverence. One quote from the script reads, "Ya know when St. Patrick banished the snakes from Oireland , he sent them ahl to America, where they ahl became cops or politicians." Tickets for students are $1 for the performances on April 5, at7:30p.m., and on April 7 at 2 p.m. All Wilkes students are admitted free except for the benefit performance on April 7. The evening performance on April 7, 8 p.m ., will have all proceeds go the American Diabetes Association, N .E. Chapters, and tickets for this performance will cost $3.00 For more information, contact either the American Diabetes Association or the Wilkes College Public Relations Office. ther plans for the proposed '60' s party. There is a possibiblity that the party will be held outdoors with drinks in the SUB. A guitar contest is one of the possible activities which are being considered for the party. A tentative date for the party is April 20. The majority · of this CC me eting was taken up with a discussion about the St. Pat's party. The co-chairman, Bill Miller and Sue Saerls, were congratulated for their effox;ts despite the many problem s which arose ( change of date and place). Tern pers got a little hot as CC and IDC argued over the amount of cooperation between the two organizations concerning the party. A proposal was mad e for full cooperation on futur e parties. Inspite of all the problems the party was deemed a success, · drawing a crowd of .410-450 people.

Of cu rrent Dorm Issues Joe Marchetti's position as _Ho11sing Director gives him excellent insight into many of the issues concerning Wilkes' students . Last week we took a look at some of the background involving Marchetti and his position. This week we'll examine his stand on some of these controversial issues. The first issue I discussed with Marchetti involves the Co-ed dorm proposal for Wilkes. He has "mixed feelings" on the proposal in that he suspects that it" may not be productive in _certain buildings,especia lly Pickering Hall ( New Men's Do-rm)." Marchetti bases this on his view of the building's structure which he feels would prove inadequate for a co-ed si-tua tion. He points to the amount of money which would be needed to make the necessary adjustments . An exam pie would be the bathrooms which Marchetti feels would have to be greatly "upgraded"- to meet co-ed requirements. In addition to the pltysical sh ortc om ings of such a proposal, Marchetti doubts that 90 girls could be found to participate in the program at this time. He recommends an outside woman's dorm be considered instead of Pickering. Marchetti advocates a "hard look be taken at what dorm stustudents really want before any decision can be made." As it is now.Pickering Hall presents the most headaches. "It's poorly designed in terms of living environment,"Marchetti comments,"it was designed basically for looks rather than practical living." "Also, the nine separate halls tend to act as nine separate units, and people tend to a's- socia te degree of quietness with floor level." In all, dormitories provide the Housing Office with an ongoing problem. In light of the fact that dorm enrollment is down this year, an attempt is being made to upgrade facilities in the hope of attracting students. The old buildings are no longer feasible according to Marchetti. Pointing out that these buildings are "horrible on utilities" he sees the college eventually ·g~tting rid of three or four dorms. When Marchetti com es across _ a mainten~_nce problem, either in New Men's or in an outside dorm, the first step is .to examine the situation and ask what's causing it. Most of the time the problem is in a men's dorm. There are two major culprits behind these problems. The first, and hardest to understand, is vandalism . The second simply involves "things wearing out." "The facilities are overused," says Marchetti,"much of the equipment is not suitable for the .dorm set-up." He finds it ironic that in light ofthefactthatthesefacilities are badly worn,m any of the occupants are very , reluctant to move out. Marchetti points out Denison Hall, which will eventually have to be phased out, as an exam pie of this irony. Finally, in discussing the . Fraternitv idea, Marchetti thinks it ~hould be investigated if it will serve a worthwhile purpose. The overall "educational " aspects of such a proposal must be studied. He, like most everyone else, sees certain resemblances to fraternities already existing on cam pus. It's not hard to understand why Joe _Marchetti is the seventh Housing Director in the last ten years. Ulcers and headaches are a common part of the job. But it also presents a challenge and the oppurtunity to work closely with students. It's this aspect that makes all the headaches and ulcers worthwhile .... right Joe?

They take advantage of bargain rates and make their calls during the discount periods. If you're not sure when you can call at discount rates, check your phone book. A few students think it's OK to break the rules by stealing their telephone calls. They're not beat- · ing the system they're taking advantage of all of us, because it drives up the cost of providing telephone service. Students who break the rules aiso run the risk of paying a large fine. Spending time in jail. And getting themselves a permanent police record. It's just not worth it! - @ Bell of Pennsylvania on Sundays thro·ughout April, about 70 groups across t he nation will observe " P eace Sunday."

The games 'sho uld be clos e t his yea r , and with t he ta lente d c l u b that ne w co a c h Da ve Ka sc hak h as, t h e Wilkesm e n s hould co me out on top in most of the encounters . 1 The Blue and Gold will open the year with a d ~rn blehea der on Tuesday at 2: 00 at Artillery Park with the Royals of Scranton University . Last season, Scranton was one of the few teams to defeat Wilkes, upsetting the Colonels at horn e 7-6 in a nite-cap of a twin-bill which saw Wilkes take the opener 13-1. In the upset loss to Gary Wooder's Royals, Wilkes had the misfortune to be involved in a TRIPLE PLAY, on ·the wrong side. But, that was last year! · Two days after opening the year with Scranton·, Wilkes will host Moravian in a 2: 00 single game on Thursday and then travel to Selinsgrove on Saturday for its first MAC Northern Division We·st Section games, when Wilkes takes on Susquehanna University in a 1: 00 twin bill. The Scranton game will count ilt the Metro Intercollegiate Conference standings, sponsored by WBRE . Expected to hurl in the openers are junior 8topper Carl DeFelice, the chief of the staff and freshman newcomer John Bromfield, who has pitched well in the pre-season '. The Susquehanna encounters could be crucial, for each team , plays only eight league games ( Four doubleheaders) and an early loss or two could knock you out of the playoffs. For those of you who are positive thinkers, the MAC Playoffs are scheduled for May 12 and the NCAA Regionals on May 24-26. A run down, by position on the Colonels this year, follows : PITCHERS: Leading the pack is junior DeFelice, from Mifflin ville, Pa. Carl was 3-0 a year ago with a 1.85 era and 35 strikeouts in 39 innings. He also fielded his position well at a .922 clip with only one error. As we said earlier, Bromfield, who is known for his concerts, has impressed everyone in pre-season and will be the No . 2man, especially with the unknown status of Randy- McHenry, the s ophomore who had a banner freshman year last s eason. Dave Taylor, a freshman from Shamokin ha s a !so been impressive in the early going and co uld turn out .t o be the No. 3 man . Other fr eshman hopefuls in clude: Jim Ralph McGuiness, Ste ve Swanson and Tony Vlahovic. Jim Kearn ey, a form er Coughlin standout, will also.be co unted on highly thi s- year. The sophomore was ve r y effecti,v e in relief last year with three saves and a 2.57 e ra. George Ka vulich and Dan Pisarcik will probably be used as middle inning men, or long relief. "George and Danny might be the keys th i s year to our succes s ," says Kaschak. In s ummary, gone is the Stehles and the Kreskys, butonth e horizonisthenewfaces-theDeFelices, the Brom fields , tlie Taylor s . This could be the start of a pitching mainstay in the Wilkes attack. Pitching coach Jerry Ba vitz ism ore pleased than anybody with the potential of his corp. First-base: Chick, Chick, Chick . What can you say? When you talk a bout first base at Wilkes , you t a lk a boutsophom or _e Chick Andrewsca vage, whom ight be the best hitter on the team right now . The former Pittsto? A;rea _Patriot, earned all-league honors last sprmg m his freshman year and will be the top rbi man for Wilkes this spring with the graduation of Ken Sue hoski and Lou , Elefante . Last season, Chick batted .340 with 34 h its, 26 ru nsscored,31rbi'sa n dfourhom ers. Ba c ki n g u p And r e ws cavage will b e s u p e r- s u b Ri c h Borofski , who can ea sily deli ver a pin ch-hit o r add gr e at de fe nse coming off the ben c h. Borofski is a Tony Taylor type ball player - who will do anything to win and help the team . Ken Rodick, who shows a good bat at the plate, and , freshman Pat Rom ich, will also see some action a tfirst base. Kearney, when not pitching can also . hold down first. ,... Second-Base: Gone is Terry Schoen. There is no way, Wilkes will replace him this year. But Rick Marshall is sure going to try. Marshall will start the year at second, but will be pressured to keep the job from some talented people behind him. Rick stepped in last spring when Schoen was out for a few g a mes, and did a super job. George Carey and freshman Chris DaRe will be pushing Marshall for the keystone position and don't be surprised to see Dave Hungarter stick his head in there somewhere for a position to start. Short-stop: It's a coin-flip here, with junior Gary Capece challenging Hungarter, who can , play anywhere. Capece sat behind Bill Hockenbury the last two ye&rs and many feel his rifle arm will give him the job, but Hungarter played short in high school and in legion under Bob Gibbon and this could be a dog-fight to see who starts. Third-Base: The hot corner will be held down by cool Phil Marino, from Hoban. Marino is a 5-11 junior, who was the second leading hitter last spring with a .418 average, and showed some power with five homers and 22 rbi's. Marino earned all-MAC honors last year for his efforts. Challenging Marino will be Jim Adams and, you guessed it, Hungarter. Catcher: Now, we have a real live coin-flip. Nobody knows who will be No. 1 here. All we can give you right now is the list of cnadida tes: Jim Adams, Bob Brezenski, Jim Morrissey, Chris Reilly, Pat Romich and Wayne Yankosky. Left-field: Left-field belongs to ~he Snake, as in Steve Snake Grasley. Grasley is the best defensive left-fielder in recent Wilkes history and will be an added plus in the outfield. He can also be used on them ound, and with the big question mark hanging·over the Wilkes pitching corp, Wilkes fans just might ~ee Steve Grasley on the mound this year. Challenging Gra·sley' will be sop horn ores Jerry The Bull Antosh and Carmen Meatball LoPresto. Both have good ha ts and are average fielders. · Center-field: Ka vulich can be the starter here, or veteran defensive player Dave Korba. Mark Drobi s h and Vince Fama 'c an also be counted on to see action in center. Right-field: It looks like right field will belong to Bob Brezenski, for now . He might be moved into catcher. Brezenski is a hea'dsy ball-player who knows the game very well. He will be challenged by Morrissey, who can also play the outfield and Antosh and LoPresto and freshman Rob Luby. So, that' s the run down on the 1979 Wilke s Coll e·ge baseball team. It all goes for notliing come April 3, when the real story begins. ~~!}fJ:~:?i?JtiiCAPTAJNSA=1I=U=p=-=I=n=._=s==m=o=k=e=F=_=i=n=a=ll=y=W=1=· n=s=1~t~dd~ie~Wh;;;itell the semester's ~igh thr~eHead football coach Rollie ga me tea m total m sweepmg Schmidt announced this week Leo Durocher once said, the 752 Crew . that four seniors will serve as "nice guys finish last."

The Wilkes College lacrosse team and coach Jon Hobrock are anxiously awaiting the start of their 1979 ca mpaign which is scheduled to open this Saturday with Dickinson College at 2 p.m. La st year the Colonels clobbered the Carisle tea,m by a decisive 17-6 score. The Dickinson encounter is the first MAC -game and marks the first of a ten-match slate, which includes seven league games. Things look bright for the stickm en, as they posted a 4-4 MAC mark and 5-6 overall slate in last season's competi- tion. FDU Madison downed Wilkes 8-6 a year ago, but will not participate in the MAC this year although they re main on the sched ule . Anyone who has not seen a lacrosse game should try to make it to Saturday's game. "I have never seen a lacrosse game and I do not know what it is" scream many p~ople . However, once you attend and observe the vigorous action, you are hooked . The players a t tempt to score goals by throwing or kicking a small, ha rd-rubber ball with sticks t hat hav e nets on one end. The m ·ost e x c iting aspect for th e spec t ato r is t he constan t r unni ng a nd body contact JON HOBROCK which takes place on the 110 yard field, which is 60 yards wide. There are 10 players on the field at one time for each team and the Blue and Go.Id forces are supposed to have excellent reserves this spring. Nine returning lettermen, fifteen high-caliber freshmen and two fine transfers are expected to form the base of this year's squad . Among the lettermen are junior Bill Adams and senior Brian Blesi, both from Bethpage, N.Y. Adams led al) Blue and Gold scorers last season with 28 goals and nine assists overall. Adams tallied 23 goals in MAC action and handea out eight assists to be t he .second highest scorer in the league and become an all-star select ion. Blesi had five goals and 11 assis.;s in the MAC and totaled six and 13 overall respectively. Joe Burnett, a junior from Vestal, N.Y. ; will also bolster the strong offensive attack, as he registered 11 goals and eight overall assists last year. Lost through graduation or other, were Bruce Davis, the second leading Wilkes scorer a year ago ; Wayne Krum; Greg Wild; Doug Price; Bernie Donachie; Billy Abrams ; Bruce Douglas; Jim O'Neil and J o.hn Lack. Returnees who are attempting to fill the vacancies include: soph Dave Singer, senior Bob Taylor, . junior Tom Heller, senior John Larkin, soph Todd Noll, and junior Mark Sanders . Junior Bob Ma tzelle and junior Pete Canine are two fine transfers who should see a lot of action this year.

Other re turni ng letterwomen are Karen Burkley, Diane Brodbeck, Sharon Knight, Mary Kay Price, Cindy Rossi, and Pam Snyder. Early season practices for the ladies were highlighted by the appearance of Scott Mose, the coach of the 1976 United States Olympie Volleyball team, who conducted a clinic. According to Coach Saracino, "The team has shown much improvement this year due ma inly to the clinic and the hard work in pre-season. We had 34 girls trying out for the t eam and I reallyhate to cut anyone but, I can only keep 20 for both the varsity and junior varsity teams. This year marks the last time the worn en will be playing in the spring. Most of the teams, the Colonelettes play have moved their seasons to the fall, forcing the Wilkes team todothesame.But, as the coach adds, " This c·hange is actually going to help us becuase we will be playing back to back seasons this spring and next fall. We won't be losing many girls, so the team will be pretty much the same." Expected to be ace spikers t his season are: Amy Gordon and Cindy Rossi. Other players expected to contribute are Ni na Nubani, Marcia Prus ka w'ski, Terry Roof, Debbie Ryan, and Lynn Arlauskas. New people on the team this spring are Sara Farley , a sophomore transfer, and Cathy Dudick, a freshman from G.A.R. They will host the Alumni on April 1, at 1, before traveling to take on L.C.C.C. at 7 on April 3. Perry Lichtinger Doris Saracino _________. BRIAN BLESI Tourney in Tampa, Fla·. were freshmen. Rich Modica of Bethpage tallied nine goals 'and two assists, while Bryan Savage registered five tallies and three assists, In the tourney, Wilkes garnered two victories and dropped one. In the opener, Wilkes lost a slim 7-6 verdict to R.I.T. in the rain . They came back to hammer Swarthmore 13-2 and dump previously undefeated Alfred College by a hard fought8-7 count." AlthouR'h Bird Gets Wings Clipped!! ~ by €ddie White IInts If you took our advice of last week and bet your house on DePaul, we're sorry. You can come stay in the Beacon Office. The Blue Demons of Coach Ray Meyer dropped a two· point decision to the most over-rated team in country in Indiana State. In th·e other semifinal, Michigan State had an easy time with Penn, which set up the Magic vs. Bird hype. This past Monday, the Spar• tans of Coach Jud Heathcote took the national title by trouncing the Sycamores and breaking the wing of Larry Bird. . As we said last week and as Magic Johnson proved, the 6-7 s~phom ore from East Lansing is the best passer in the . game and Bird is far behind. Bird and his team had it easy all year while playing beer-league teams and finally ran into some tough competition in the NCAA Tournament, although they were seeded No . 1 in the weakest regional. The two tough games the " Sickamores" played were against Sidney Moncreif and Arkanas, where the Bird and Co.bombed by a whole TWO POINTS. The next outing, put the Indiana team against DePaul, wliich possesses t he best freshman in the country in Mark Aguirre and the best coach in NCAA history, Ry Meyer. The Demons will be back next year, something that can't be said for the Sycamores. Indiana State again beat a top-rated team, this time with a bombing of again TWO POINTS. What a powerhouse? DePaul took the consolation game before the title game on Monda y and captured third place, and if the Sycamores and the Blue Demons would meet again, it would be a different story. So, the NCAA's are over, and so is the great basketball history at Indiana State - they can go back to being an alsoran and continue playing no-· bodies. As far as their fans go, which many were just on for the ride and if you asked the Indiana State fans to name three of their starters four weeks ago, they would have trouble·. 1 We will eat crow for picking DePaul to win it all, but we will · enjoy the success of magic and his gang of Champions. For the Indiana state fans, they do not have to eat crow for losing to the Spartans in the title game, they can just eat the "Bird." we have a big influx of new players, I do not think it will be a rebuilding year, because the frosh appear to have made a smooth transition," noted Hobroc k. Also helping the lacrossemen prepare for the season is defensive asst. Bill MacArthur. Looking ahead, Wilkes will attempt to avenge a 10-6 loss to Lehigh University, on Wed., April 4 at 3 at Raison Field. The Lehigh contest does not count towards MAC standings and Hobrock plans to continue playing bigger schools so the cali ber at Wilkes will increase. Other MAC squads on the schedule are Gettysburg, Haverford, Muhlenberg Western Maryland , Lebanon Valley, and Franklin and Marshall. STICK 'EMS: ... Mark Sanders won 145 overall fave offs last year ... dave "Singer Saves" kept 134 potential goals out of the nets last year as a frosh to .be fourth in the MAC .... Bruc e Davis tallied most goals in one game last year · seven, which was complimented with two assists vs. Haverford ... P.S.: WE will be watching for the "unmentioned" 1 freshmen to prove them selves and welcome them the print when they .do ... GOOD LUCK!!!

The Union members ended their season with yet another victory to add to the_ir already impressive listofaccompli s hm e nts · for t hi s year. The m embe r s of " Kinney ' s Kids " traveled to Luzerne County Co mm unity College to partici pate in the second ann.ual Minuteman Forensic Tourney Wilkes came out of the co m petition with a sixth place overall finish and Jon Pliskin continued theU_nion's winni~g rec ord by ea rnrng a trophy 1n the co mplicated epedeictic c<impelition.

The new members of .the l l nion completed the regular season with 42"trophies and 11 certificates of excellence. Ine luded in this list is the first slate championship in Lincoin-Douglas d.e bate in 23 ye ars.

Dana Hall's water problem is aoparently solved, but the utility o·r organization responsible has not Leen identified. Andrew Shaw, -dean of internal affairs, explained the sequence of events that led to the repairing of the faulty sewer pipe last week: "I met with the Redevelopment Authority and PG&W on Wednesday to coordinate activitiesto see if the problem could be resolved. You have to un : derstand that therf' is a pro- pensiiy for looking at other people for reasons for the dam age. Redevelopment got Addy Asph<1-lt to come back on t hE' job and dig up the street to find the problem. "They worked until the job was finished and will bill whom ever was responsible for l he problem ."

Bill Tur:can In talking w'i-th the candidates after the meeting, Blum field cited his goals as SG president to prevent the financial problems SG has been having recently. He noted that a lot of clubs were affected by this and he would like to see this come to an end. Better communication· be tween SG, IDC , and CC was also cited on Blum field's list as a top priority, as well as sched ulin g soc'.ia) events with out conflicts. When asked for his im press ion of Student Government this year·, Blumfield said, "The major problem is the lack of leadership stemming from t he President." He stated that Kirshn er has trouble controlling me e tings, doesn' t attend many SG-related events, and he also feels that "new ideas are waning." He also feels that the SG evalua tions, which took a whole year to work on were a waste .of time. In conclusion Blufield stated that "last year's election was decided o.n.how much .campaigning wa~ done and not 'q ualifications." He feels students should decide on · a candidate for his merits, plat'. form and the debate.

I a:m running for this office because I am Deeply concerned a bout the problems tha t face commuting students at Wil.kes . One of the most significant· of these problems is parking. Day after day, we are affected · · by the ' lack of adequate on-campus parking a_nd the high cost of private and municipal Jots. I believe that this problem could be resolv:ed.through initiating new p_rogram s in,_ cooperation with these m unicipal and private lots, aimed at keeping costs at a minim um . Also, I will work to ex pand oil-campus parking, fighting for more spaces and more pat king stickers. . ,Another area that is of concern to rne is to adequately provide for the, needs of the apartment dwellers at Wilkes. The view point of this group _ has been underrepresented · and I see the need for an organized group or office to help · the. students deal with such . things as apartment rental, sllb-leasing, tentailt .rights, • etc.I pledg.e that I will work to provide for those needs. · . Tbirdly, I see the very desperate need to enrich the social life around the College. ·I believe that the social activ- · ities should be represent.a tiv·e of all the wants of .all Wilkes students. Time and Eiriergy . must be devoted d.evelop new ideas and a vital · social to program must be stressed. · Final!, I want to make sure that your voice.is heard in de-• ~isions inv<?lving cam pus pol icy, I prom 1se that I will work for the best interests of all Wilkes students, in order to give you a better cam pus life . · Your vote and . support next T.uesday will be deeply appreciated.

In addition, I would appreciate a response, since much of this Jetter contains questions rather than sta tern ents. As president of Student Government I am displeased with what has been printed in the" weekly" Student Governmentarticlein The Beacon. I have found as a rule that Jess than half ;f what appears on my agenda actually makes The Beacon. Student.Government is the · maingoverningandorganizational body of, by, and for the students. The Beacon is Wilkes College's primary means of Jetting the students know what is going on and happening at the college. For that reason, an article should represent what happens as closely as possible. Also, the reporters should report what happens--not as they see it, rather as j t hap pe llii. Neither :~t ~~~:~~:~;~: ; ,·:~: ~~ ings have been averaging two to two-and-a-half hours. This time is spent on many areas, all of which pertain directly to the students of Wilkes College. Yet, more than twice, during this semester alone, an issue of The Beacon has been published and circulated without one word about Student Governmentorwhattranspired at the meetings. On severa I occasions when this happened I confronted Jim Edwards, the Managing Editor, as to why there was no Student Government article . His reply, was that The Beacon cannot print everything that it would like to . There is just not enough space and we do not have the funds to expand th·e paper beyond the "traditional 8 pages . He then added that on the list of priori ties, used to determine what gets printed when and where, Student Government holds its position on the bottom of the list.

Questions Intentions cited in Blumfield/Keba Debate To the Editor: I am writing this letter not to you, but rather publicly to Dave Blumfield, Bill Keba, and those sutdents unable to attend the debate held this past Sunday. The question I wish to pose is directed to both Dave and Bill. You both alluded to Student Government's "going down the tubes".. By the time you see this letter one· of you will have already won the presidency. I sincerely that the decision you both made, to run for the office of Student Government President, was not a spur of the moment one, rather that it took a long time of thought, consideration and various motivations. One of these motivations must have been for the betterment of the Wilkes College Student Goverriment. Why then, did you wait until now to speak up? Are the accusations you made against me sincere or are they merely campaign gimmicks?

During the summer m cinths the club recieved a second place award for achievement in the Bronze Division (less than 30 members) at the lnternational Circle · K Convention at Tampa, Florida. Wha t exactly is the Circle K Club and what did they do to deserve these awards? The club was chartered at Wilkes in 1962 making it one of the first Circle K Clubs in Pennsylvania. They are affilia ted and sponsered by the Kiwani s Club of Wilkes Barre. The club membership is o en to an one who has a desire to help humanity and who has the energy to work on community service projects. The only requirement is that the person take an active part in the functions of the club. There are 36 such clubs in Pennsylvania and they meet yearly in March. In August of each year there is an international meeting of all the clubs. Every three or four years the clubs decide on a theme on which to carry out their activities. The theme for• 1977 tbrough 1979 is "Embrace Humanity". Within this theme are five areas that clubs are required to concentrate their efforts. They are: association with the lonely, na tura I resources; health projects; volunteer services; and public safety.

At lea st they're going if not yet ~un,· . 11 ~,·,·111 ~ the two cage coaches lost their battle to tenure and will be replaced next season. But, let's not brush off the fine job done by these two dedicated men tors. Bearde has single-handidly brought the Wilkes men's basketball program back from hell the last few years and this season's edition showed much improvement from the past and the future wi.th all the promising underclassmen looks ver-y...bright. Bloom berg has also built a solid program, guiding the ladies to their first winning season ever a year ago and has brought in some top-notch lady ball-players to help the program. We wish Bearde and Bloom berg much luck in whatever they do and wher ever they go. Next year's basketball teams, no matter who the coach is, will be a part of them. Now, the hard part. The job of replacing Bearde and Bloom berg falls on AD John Reese. That's one job we would not want, he has to find the right people to keep the programs on the upswing. Reese told the BEACON that he has already interviewed some candidates for both positions and he will interview some · more this week ·and next. He hopes to announce the new coaches and h sical education teachers in two weeks . The first-priority is to get (he Phys. Ed teacher, but we feel it is important to get a good coach who is a ph ys. ed. teacher, than a teacher who happens to be a coach. Because, isn't mens and worn ens basketball more important than bowling or badmitton. According to a local paper, one top candidate for the men' s position has already been eliminated : That is Nanticoke Area's successful high sc hool coach Syl Bozinski, who ha s 499 career wins. Reese said Bozinski was naturally the school's num h er one choice, not only on hi s coaching ability, which is un questioned, but also his own great interest in the job. Bozinski, sources say, contacted Wilkes, the school did not ask him first. But, as always them ain problem with getting Bozinski to Wilkes was financial. To tell the truth, Bozinski "had it made" in Nanticoke and it would take a fortune to get him here. But there was a possibility of his early retirement benefits mixing with the Wilkes salary which would balance out. But all hope of getting the Trojan men tor to Wilkes came to an end on Saturday. According to Bozinski , it [fi· nancial worries] just could not work out. So, Reese has to serach through some other applicants and pick a "winner." Other "mentionable" candidates include: Hartwick assistant coach Joe Super, who many might remember from the Colonel Classic of which Hartwick was· in in January. With Bozinski gone, Su er has moved into the No. 1 spot and many feel the job is his. Some other candidates include Tom Finan of Hon esdal e High School, who has been very successful and form er St. Joseph's hoopster Ron Rider. Those two are ex· pected to be interviewed this week. The ladies job is also being worked on, but the names involved are hard to come by. The BEACON has learned of some , but they were given to us, "off the record" so we must com ply with our sources wishes. · But the good new s about all of this is, that something IS being done and w e will have two coaches next year and it seems both will be very go·o d ones, If we hear anything definite before the year ends, we'll let you know.

The enormously successful Huntley-Brinkley re ,port ran for almost 14 years and was heard nightly by an estimated audience of more than 20 million people. ~ased in Washington, Brmkley makes frequent trips in this country and abroad for firsthand reports on breaking new.

His lecture topic will include a view from the nation's ca pita I, America and World Politics and the world today. _Dr. Arno Penzias, cowmn~r of ~he Nobel Pr_ize for Physics m 1978, will be awarded an honorary doctorate at commencement exercis~s May 20. Senator John Hemz, the keynote speaker, will_ also receive- this degree durmg the 32nd annual commencement. . Penzias, along with colleagu_e Robert W. 'Yilson, received the Nobel prize for hi~ work in discove:in~ cosm 1c background radiation. He is Director of the Radio Research Laboratory at Bell Telephone Laboratories, which he joined in 1961. He has conducted research in radio astronomy, radio transmission satellite communications: and radio reception. In 1964 Penzias and Wilson were usi~g the most sensitive radio astronomy antenna available tG conduct research in radio astronomy and satellite . communications.

Mem hers of the Deba te·Un10n recently returned from na tional competition with a tenth-place ranking and an individual_ first-place award. The P1 Delta Kappa Honorary Forensic Society's Tournam ent, held in St. Louis, Missouri, attracted some 119 colleges and universities from more than 33 states. More than 600 students entered the 31stannualcompetition which determined national winners in debate, extemporaneous speaking, oral interpretation of prose and poetry, inform ative discourse, entertainment speaking, and small group discussion. Winners were selected on the basis of their speaking skills and recei ved certifica te s of merit a nd a wards at t he banquet that closed the tourn a m e nt. D_a vida . Roberts earned a na t10nal first place award in e ntertainment speaking, outs co rin g 75 other competitors fr om acros s the country. She finished first in the preliminary rounds and received an almost perfect score in the finals. Theremainderof"Kinney's Kids (Colleen Gries and Jon Pliskin) teamed up w;!.~ Miss Roberts to bring ge.,eral r.,:-- · o_gnttion to Wilkes as the nation s tenth top school. The top 12 colleges are singled out for national recognition, based on tea_m points,. and all 11~ institut1onswere m the runnmg. Wilkes, although represented by one of the smallest delegations at the contest, still came away with a top ten ranking. The Pi Kappa Delta Honor Fraternity was organized morethan60yearsagotorecognize orators and debaters. The group has grown to in elude almost 400 chapters with over 50,000 m em hers. In order to be eligible for membership, a student must rank in the upper thirty-fifth percent of his class. Wilkes has been a m em her of the society for three years . "Kinney•s Kids" completed t~is season with an ini press1v_e record. :14'_orty-three troph1es, 11 certif1cates of excellence in speaking, a state championship, and two nation al awards were among the squad's accomplishments. The Union has extended its record of winning major awards in consecutive contests to 33--a streak it started in September 1976. Again this year the Union came away with a major vie- _ tory in every tournament entered, and aim ost broke last year's record for the most a wards in a single season However, as Dr. Kinney wa~ quick to note, only one veteran returned to the squad this year, and none will be lost to graduation in May. Dr. Bradford Kinney Davida Roberts sc~entis~s discovered that all a famt signal pervaded :!ii;;~t~lnoJi~:irh::;!l~~ three degrees a hove absolute zero--p~rsist~d. In addition, the noise signal never wavered from day to da¥ or ~easo!1 to season, thu~ markm~ itself as particularJy umque. . !3ecause the si~nal was so fa~nt ~nd pervasive,. the two scientists felt the noise could have any ~me of_a number of ~ource~, mcludmg th4: antenna 1_tself.. System a tic~lly ·~nd pamstakmgly, they e~1~!n.ated each of the poss1bil1ties. . . _Another scientist, Robert.

Since that time, Penzias has been honored on several occasions for this and other contributions in cosmology. In 1976, he was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from the Paris Observatory, be coming the first American to win that award. He is a m em her of the Na ti.o nal Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He also is Visiting Lecturer, with rank of professor, at Princeton University; Adjunct Professor at the State University ofNewYork atStonyBrook, Long Island; and a Research Associate at Harvard University. He served as Vice Chairman of the Committee of Concerl)ed Scientists, a national organization devoted to working for the political freedom of scientists in countries where it is endangered. Penzias was born April 26, 1933, in Munich, Germany, to Karl and Justine Penzias. His first years in America were spen_t undramatically as an average student attending public schools in the Bronx, New York. Later on he demonstrated an · interest in science and mathematics, and as a teenager, he attended a specialized public school for outstanding boys--the Brooklyn Technical High School. In 1954, he graduated in the top 10 percent of his class at the City College of New York. After~erving two years in the U.S. Signal Corps as a radar officer, he undertook grad uate studies in physics at Columbia Uni versity. There he studied with Charles Townes, a Bell Laboratories consultant who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of the maser. In 1962 Penzias received his Ph .D. in Physics. . Penzias, his wife and three children reside in Highland Park, New Jersey. �j;;h~;:::~•~:;:::ive T his past year has not been , one to boast a bout fo r St uden t Gove rnment.

Kirshner Appreciation Expressed To the Editor I am writing this letter to the entire student body, staff and administration of Wilkes College. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to a II of you for your ideas and guidence that have been so helpful to me over this past semester. Special thanks must go to the Student Government body itself, including: Commuter Council, Interdorm itory Council and our advisors Dean Hoover and Mrs. Barker. I would a !so like to wish Dave Blumfield, Bill Lewis, Mike Stapleton and the entire student body a very construc tive, productive and coopera tive year. Thank you very much, Steven B. Kirshner Eaton to Teach in Spain A member of the Wilkes faculty, Ms. Shirley Eaton, has been invited to teach in a summer program in Burgos, Spain. The program is sponsored by the California State University at Sacramento; courses in Spanish Civilization, Language and Literature will be taught at both undergraduate and graduate levels. In conjunction with the program in Burgos, CSUS has also organized a tour of southern and central Spain which should appeal to anyone who wants to travel. No spanish is necessary because all guides are bilingual. Ac<;ording to Ms. Eaton the first part of the To The Editor: In order to help students . trip includes many of outrent and sub-let apartments standing scenic and cultural for this summer a committee, attractions of southern and independent from the school central Spain. The second has been formed. We plan to part of the trip, however, is After traveling perform various other func - unique. tions next semester including throughout Spain for 15 days, contract, purchasing of food, a furniture committee, and social events. Contact me for further information at 829-3524. Here's your chance to demonJohn Haffner strate your trivia expertise with these tough questions . Apartment . Committee Formed each participant will be able to spend a week with a Spanish family to experience daily life in Spain as the Spaniards do. Another advantage of spending a week in Burgos, says Ms. Eaton, is that the city is small enough that one can get to know it fairly well in seven or eight days, although the wealth of artistic and architectural monuments from many periods cannot be completely taken in in so short a time. Anyone interested in this twenty-five day trip ( June 16 to July 9) should contact Ms . Eaton right away a text. 324 or 823-5608. Enrollment is limited, and deposits must be in by early April. Those who want to remain in Europe longer, an alternate return date of August 13, 1979 can be arranged at no extra charge. ... .J .J J J r--------------------------TV Trivia Beacon Staff Commended To The Editor: I was pleased to see this year's Beacon staff occasionally print information and editorials about controversial or "Touchy" subjects, a trend I sincerely hope will continue. If investigative reporting should happen to catch on, 1979-80 could be a very lively year. Good Luck! Shirley Eaton [Dept.of Language and Lit.] Phot.ograph~r-Cartoonist Bob Gaetano Advisor George Pawlush Finally, I still feel that everything that t ranspires at Student Government meetin~s should be a".'ailable, in pnnt, to the entire student body, staff, and other interested individuals. I however, especially appreciate your responce in this area. Whatlam saying here is just the way I feel and not from a journalistic perspective - that is your specialty .

This is the message which greeted well over 10,000 callers last year when they dialed 826-1135. The Connection is a 24-hour line that carries a two to five minute recording, and is maintained and updated periodically by the Public Relatio, f · The line has existed for a pproxim a tely three years. The equipment was originally given to the college by an anonymous donor. The connection was created, as Public Relations Director George _ Pawlush said, "to give something of service back to the community, as the communitv has contributed §Om CONNECTION UPDATED--Margaret Scholl, a Public Relations student employee, regularly updates the Wilkes College Connection. The information line routinely conveys messages pertaining to cultural, social, and athletic events past preseJlt and future, which take place on campus.

If someone called the fam iliar number ( 826-1135), he would hear what is currently taking place on cam pus, along with a list of upcoming events. The connection carries the dates and times of art exhibits at the Sordoni and Conyngham galleries, along with plays, both student productions and others, that are scheduled for the C.P.A. Another important aspect of the Connection is its coverage of sports results and listing of upcoming athletic events. Sports updates are usually given by Bob Gaetano and Eddie White. The Connection receives, on the average, 250 to 300 calls each week. When the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Tournament was held, the calls ranged near 600 to 750 calls over the weekend. "This high number of calls ca used a part of the Connection to malfunction, leaving the message line out of service for a short time," commented Pawlush. The same situation occured when the wrestlers traveled to Iowa State for nationals. As Pawlush concluded, "The Wilkes College Connection is an invaluable service to both the cam pus and comm unity. This fact has been proved time and time again." Margaret Scholl SULLIVAN&CO.

It's almost over! It's almost time to bid adieu to Wilkes College. It seems like an eternity, the time I've been here and now I'm ready to leave. Wait a second! Am I ready? Am I ready to leave all this? Can I leave all this? I am not ready. I am not ready to go out and face a real world after existing in this Magic Kingdom for so long. My mind is numbed from years in the valley. It's raining ( as usual). What a year. Late-night rushes to catch deadlines and get my drivel published. I hope you all have enjoyed my slices of craziness--!' ve tried to write something for everyone. I'd like to thank some of the people who have put up with my insanity and constant badgering for advice and ideas. thanks to "Mr. Mike" for bringing me down to earth when I floated in the clouds. Thanks to "Rocky" for the ideas in the clutch . Thanks to the "KING" for views from the outside and also to a "Doctor of English" and "Doctors of Biology." Thanks to "Dave" for the touch of the poet. Special thanks to my con stant companion, cruel nemesis, and alter-ego, D.A. Harris. As a last gesture of farewell to this comm unity, I would like to say good-bye to some of the little things that have affected me in some way during my tenure here. Good-bye to brown salads and oiled omelettes, hot-flashes in overheated buildings, and beer bashes in bad-odored basements. Good-bye_ to sore sphincters (for all reasons). Good-bye to Schmarties, Schmellies, Hainas (sic?) Dorm ies, Cut-throats, Burn-outs, Ozone Rangers, Preppies, and Shickshinnians. Good-bye to hour-long, t hree-hour exams and profs whose favorite reading is Marat Sade . Good-bye to 7 a.m . garbage trucks and 2 a.m. curfews. Good-bye to a party policy that tolerates all known drugs, but beer. Good-bye to "Never having to say I'm sorry that I didn't o to Harvard, Princeton, or Yale." Good-bye to tank-traps, subsidences, and a policy of Urban Renewal whose only rivals re the great Pyramids in the time and work involved. Good-ye to the Flood ( both of them). Good-bye to rubber-stamp advisors who talk much and advise little. Good-bye to never nowing what you got into, until it was too late. ( Maybe I should ave gone to Harvard, Princeton, or Yale.) The m_emories at Wilkes are long, sometimes fond, and colorul. I rem em her all the dates I didn't go on and all the not-too-ure "sure-things." I remember all the things I don't want to rem em her: the exams I'.ve studied for and la.t er failed and those exams I've never studied for and aced. I remember the "Vo Tech" feel that comes from going to Wilkes and I rem em her that urge to comm it Room icide( killing your roommate) when your rommate drives you to that edge with all those little ha bits. After all, picking feet can be most annoying. · I would like to say thank-yo to the institution that made it all possible and sometimes im possible--Wilkes College.

BobGaetano �Page 10, The Beacon, Ap r il 26, 1979 ttwttn t t by F.ddie Mite "Super,, Man Flies lints Here It's official. Next year's Wilkes College men's basketball team can · now be called "Super-men." Supermen? That's right! It was announced last week at a press conference at Weckesser Hall that Hartwick College asst. coach Joe Super will succeed Rodger Bearde as the headmen tor of the Blue and Gold. Although some papers in town are taking the credit for the scoop of the announcement that Super would be coach a few days before it became official, your BEACON had that info the week before their prediction. Super comes tO" Wilkes highly recommended and with good credentials. Here are some of the responses to the announcement: AD John Reese: "He's a good one, he'll help the program." Coach Bearde: "He is the guy I wanted to take over and I know he will make Wilkes a winner. We're lucky to get a man of his quality ." Joe Gries, veteran announcer : "His reputation of a great coach is impressive and he 's a great guy ." TV announcer Joe Zone: " He has a great name, but I hope his team turns out that way." The 31-year old Super, who served as an assistant at Hartwick the last two years under Nick Lam bros, says the Wilkes job is just what he wanted. "It's a chance to call yo ur own shots. I see Wilkes a s a chance to improve myself." When asked about his style, he commented, "As an assistant I had to bite m y lip . I co uld not express m y views. Now I ca n and I'm a fiery coach." Well that's nothing new around here, right Rodger? Super said he found out about the possible opening during last year's Colonel Classic in January, wh ich Hartwick downed Wilkes in the title game. "The possibil- ity of an opening came up during a conversation with Rodger and I. I know one thing we were treated on a first class basis during the tourney · and that really impressed our team and coaching staff. This tourney is quickly getting a great reputation among Eastern schools. This will be Super's first college head coaching job. He began his career as a JV coach in Oneonta, N.Y. He then moved on to be an assistant at Oenonta State and after a short stint there, he became asst. coach at Cortland State and his teams -had 13-9 and 10-13 seasons there. He took his first head coaching job at Hom er High School and in two years his squads were 11-8 and 10-8. He caught on with Hartwick in 1977. He has a wide athletic background and was at onetime an all-league receiver in the Empire Semi-Pro Football League in 1971. During his first days as coach, he made his first announcement, which came as no s urprise to an y one. Super stated that Kendall McNeil will se rve a .s the captain of the 1979-80 basketball team . THE BEACON wishes good luck to Coach Super and his team. Personal Note In my first year as sports editor of the Beacon I have needed much help. And from a certain group of dedicated people I have received it and more. I first have to thank all the writers who contributed to the page, especially the seniors . I have to single out our award-winning ph()tographer Bob Gaetano who has kept our pages filled with great action photos. In closing I would like to ask any of the under -cla ssm en interested in writing next year to contact me at the Beacon offic e the fi rst week of school next seme ster. Have a good summer! Women Suffer First Losses Women's softball team, now halfway thro u gh its third sea son, currently stands at4-2 after def ea ting Upsala but also dropping a double -header to Bloomsburg last week. Beaten in the early innings by Upsala last year, Wilkes turned the ta hies this time, and jumped to a 6-0 lead in the firstjIInin mare, as Wilkes blew an 11-1 lead and lost 13-12 in extra innings. Tl1e women of Coach Gav Meyers took a 4-0 in t he third-all on walks. They then scored seven in the fifth on hits from Kendig, Mary Jo Frail, Dreibelbis, McCarthy, and Deb Yedlock . Going into the bottom of the seventh with an 11-1 edge, the women chalked up one more victory and began looking ahead to the second game. Enter disaster. Three errors, six walks, four hits, and a controversial call by the plate ump allowed Bloom to score ten and tie the game, sending it into extra innings. Starter Jerry Ann Smith was pulled with the score 11-8, Frail pitched until it was tied, and Dreibelbis came in to record the third out. In the eighth Kendig singled horn e Deb Y edlock, who was on third thanks to a single by Bernie Swiderski. But Bloom also came up with runs under pressure, aided by an error and a passed ball. The winning run scored as Wilkes watched helplessly. Thesecondgamewasa battle, going 1-3 and 3-5 into the third(Bloom ahead). The Huskies ulled awa 9-4 in the t hird and added five in both t he fifth and sixth innings to ease into a 19-6 win. Wilkes, after winning four straight, dropped to 4-2. Six games remain on the schedu·le--one today with Marywood, one tomorrow with King's, and a Parents ' Day game Saturday with Susquehanna. All are at home. A double-header with Scranton at horn e Monday follows . With half the season gone by, Diane Kendig is leading the hatting race, with a .666 average( 16-24). She also leads in stolen bases with seven, rbi's with 12, and extra base hits with four, including two homeruns. Kathy McHale and Linda McCarthy are both hitting ata .500 clip, and Jackie Wiendl is batting .450. The team itself is batting .371 and is scoring 13.1 runs per game and 12.5 hits per game, while holding opponents to 9.6 runs and 6.5 hits. In the pitching department, Mary Jo Frail is 2-0, Jerry Ann Smith stands at 1-0, and Mary Lynne Dreibelbis is 1-2. Wilkes will end its season Thursday, May 3 at L.C.C.C . before entering a tournament, at Franklin & Marshall May 5. Wilma Hurst Diane Kendig led off with a walk, and then stole second before Mary Jean Farrell bunted her to third and made it to first herself. She stole second and Mary Lynne Drei-· belbis loaded the bases when . she also drew a base on balls. Jackie Wiendl continued to take advantage of Upsala's pitching, as her walk forced Kendig horn e . Lynn Yedlock also walked and Farrell scored before Deb Yedlock hit into a fiel d er's choice and Dreibelbis was snagged at the plate. Sa ndy Reisinger also walked before Li nda McCarthy cracked a singl e to r ight, allowin g two to score. Ellie Adams bunted safely and Kendig started the top of t he order off with another walk. Farre ll lined out and Dreibelbis flyed out to put Upsala out of its misery. Dreibelbis he ld Upsala' s batters until the fourth, when a series of errors helped six runners to score. Fortunately }lie Bl ue and· Gold had adde d three in the second inning on a hit by Debbie Yedlock and an at hat fo r Kendig that was scored as an error on the second baseman, but which allowed two to score. Upsa la came close to tying it up in the bottom of the seventh ( the last inning) when it led off with a si ngle a nd a walk.

This center will take over the functions of the Student Union Building.and Commons here at Wilkes. The old SUB building will be used for theater and speech classes while the Commons will be razed in order to expand the Chase Courtyard. , The basement of the center is only half completed and is expected to be finished in about two weeks. This section is planned to have food vending machines and numerous tables and chairs. A stereo system will also be installed although it is doubtful whether each room will have a speaker due to the enormous cost. U is in the basement where most of the parties at the center will originate, and according to Dave Kerek, Student Center President, the first party is scheduled to take place in about two w~ks. The first floor of the structure is the only level which is finished . This floor serves as the cafeteria and provides two seating areas. The second floor is in use and will be the location of the used bookstore and the center's television room. The TV will be located in a room containing large leather chairs featuring both cable and local television stations. Kerek mentioned the possibility of a large TV viewing screen, possibly funded by Student Government and also a home box office unit. , After a great· amount of work with little success, the third floor of _9le center wm remai11 closed _du~J_Q_ fire regulations. lni!ially this floor was to be used for student apartments or office space, but unless state legislation changes in the near future, the use of this level will not be possible. During tlie year, Kerek will be assisted by three directors in order to handle the many responsibilities of the center. These assistant directors are Kevin O'Brien, Lisa Prokaryon and Mike Cannonico. The center is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Peter Steve · In the beginning of August our new Academic dean began his job. · He is Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, and his title is Dean of Academic_ Affairs . Dr. Hartdagen grew up in Thurmont, Maryland. After he graduated from high school he served in the Navy for four years during the Korean War. In January of 1953 he entered the Un.iversity of Maryland at College Park. He graduated in 1957 with a B.A. in · History. Hartdagen says, "I liked it so much I stayed an extra Semester''. A· Danforth Fellowship enabled him to attend graduate school at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he received an M.A. in History. In the summer of 1959 he joined the faculty of the Illinois State . University as a replacement · member for two years. Hartdagen returned to Nor- . thwestern to finish his studies in 1963. In the fall of 1964 he completed his discertation on "The Anglican Church in Colonial Maryland". At this time he got his first permanent job at Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pa., where he taught as an assistant professor for four yours. Meanwhile, his discertation was . approved and h,e received his Ph.d. from Northwestern in 1965. In the fall of 1968 he accepted a Coll~ge Trip Sunday • the Super Duper Looper; the Coal Cracker, a water ride ; and ZooAmerica. There will probably be a roller coaster contest as to which Wilkes student can stay on the ride the longest. The prize? A huge chocolate Hershey bar, of course! Blumfield feels "the event provides an opportunity for students, faculty, administration and alumni to meet each other on a less constrictiv.e basis." The administralion is pleased and feels that it is a worthwhile event. Tickets are on sale daily in the SG Used Bookstore, second floor of the Student Center, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. , and also from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.Jll. in the cafeteria. Price for the · first 500 students is $10.75 and other, $12.75. . The ticket price includes admission into the park which entitles you to ride the rides and see the attraclions, and also bus fare on Martz Trailways. :fhe buses will depart from the college at 8 a.m . and leave the park at 8 p.m. For those eho haven't purchased a ticket yet - don't miss out on the fun - get yours today! Margaret Scholl As Dean of Academic Affairs he is responsible for all faculty and academic programs, and all · chairmen of academic departments and programs report to him. Right now his major objective is "to get to know the college and its faculty and staff and to become im-' mersed in the college" . About his plans he says, " I don't have any ready made plans - I don't think it's proper to come in with a set of ready made plans". He does, however, have a list of priorities. They include: 1. To make sure that the visit from Middle States is successful this fall . 2. To secure a completed and approved tenure policy. 3. To get a feel for things and develop more priorities.

There can't be too many people on campus .who don't know what the excitement is all about · The "talk of the campus" is "Wilkes College Day" at HersheyPark to be held Sunday, Sept. 16th. The event of the year is under the direction of Student Government. with efforts led by David Blumfield. Blumfield is "confident that it is the largest event Wilkes College ever had." The SG President has worked closely the entire summer with Dean Arthur Hoover, "an avid HersheyPark fan" ; Todd Pierce, the Wilkes-Barre Representative for Hershey Park; and Becky Kelly, Head of Group Sales. Blumfield found Pierce and Kelly "a tremendous help and extremely cooperative." "Wilkes College Day" is a first for both Wilkes and• HersheyPark. There is definite excitement on both parts for the upcoming event. For those who don't know, HersheyPark has within its boundaries - three roller coasters, including position at Purdue University as an associate professor of History.

With these things in mind he was interviewed in March for the position of Academic Dean. Hartdagen says that he was quite impressed and he "likes the way the campus blends into the community" . He adds, "I like the sense of history of the old homes". He is impressed with the faculty and administrators. He explains, "I am more impressed with President Capin than any of the other presidents I've worked with". About the students here he says, "I'm very impressed and pleased with the students I have met and worked so far". Hartdagen is living close to the college so that he can walk to school and "be completely immersed in the college". Beginning next fall he hopes to teach a course in Colonial History here. He has two daughters - one is a second semester freshman here and the other is a senior at Wyoming Seminary. In his spare time he likes to hunt and fish . After a year and a half of preparation, the college is presently in the final stages of reaccreditation by the Committee of Higher Education of Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Last fall, in the first phase of the accreditation process, a special group of faculty, administration and students were divided into six committees: Steering; Goals, Outcome and Program ; Students and Student Life ; Teaching; Faculty and Governance; and Organizational Resources and Finance. Each committee prepared an interim report containing a candid self-analysis of any strengths and weaknesses. Presently, these reports are being compiled by Dr. Robert Kelly and Alfred Groh into a case study for submission to the accreditation committee at the end of September. After considering this selfevaluation, a team of seven experienced educators, headed by Dr. Robert Ackerman, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts of Drew University, will visit the campus from November 4 to November 7. They will speak : with students, faculty and staff members in order to make their own anaylsis of campus conditions. Anyone who would like to make an appointment with the committee during their visit to discuss a serious matter, should contact Dr. Hartdagen, Weckesser Hall. On November 7, the accreditation team will present an exit review to President Capin, containing a report on any merits or deficiencies of the college. The decision of whether or not to award accreditation will be made sometime in the spring. Every ten continued on p.3 ,, �• iHOP Book And Record Mart 41 South Main Street FRIDAY.NIGH,T SPECIAL 18 S.

They are graduates of Wilkes and former resident assistants. Upon the resignation of Joseph Marchetti who accepted the position of Asst. Dean of Students at Holy Cross University in Mass., Paul was promoted to the position of Housing Director. Since April he was the assistant director when he replaced the retired Jeanne Conway. Jean was hired to aid Paul with his duties in the Housing Office, however, her title is Associate Housing Director. In explaining his role as Housing Director Paul said, "Students don't understand the function of the Housing Office. We are here to help them in any way possible."

Coll .Fronk or Pete for on appointment , ® 124-2325 The Policies Co-ed housing has been an idea kicked around with the InterDormitory Council for the last coupie of years. Though a final decision would be made by the Dean's Council both Paul and Jean could see coed housing "as an alternative lifestyle." They feel the facilities available on campus do limit where co-ed housing could be implemented but do see a lot of advantages to it. One idea that Jean would like to see become a reality is the redistribution of the men's dorms. Currently, all the male dormlLare located in one city block while the female dorms are scattered over five. The main reason behind this would be for security purposes. Last year there was talk of making Miner Hall into a female dorm and switching off with Sterling Hall but this fell through. Concerning the party policy, when Paul and . Jean attended Wilkes the policy was such that most of the keg parties were held in the dorms . . Upon their return, however, all that has changed with · the new policy discouraging dorm parties. "I understand the student's view that it is much more comfortable to have parties in the dorm but one of the biggest problems was the damage," said Paul. He sees a direct relationship between drinking and damage done to the dorms. The Hotel'Sterling The biggest problem facing the Housing Office is the overflow of students admitted who requested housing. At the beginning of the year there were close to 180 students living in the Hotel Sterling, which the college has used in the last three years. This year, however, is the largest amount of students by about 60. Paul said the students will be moved out of the hotel as soon as there are openings on campus and in order of the dates on their housing contracts when they paid their housing deposit. All students are requested to be patient as Paul noted it will take time. Right now Paul and Jean do not plan to make any major changes in running the Housing facilities this year but are rather situating themselves in a position that is very open to change. Jim Edwards ·Evaluation From page 1 years, institutions wishing to be ac: credited must undergo an evaluation by the Middle States Committee. Wilkes has been accredited . since 1950. President Capin is optimistic about receiving accreditation. Having no outstanding debts, Wilkes is financially stable. In fact, a surplus is predicted for this academic year. Despite a tuition increase, enroll- ment is up approximately 15 per. cent from last year and financial aid has increased. He continued that although there is room for improvement, academically Wilkes is a progressive institution. · 531-39 S. Main St. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. · 829-9209" 15 S. Franklin St ·, Wilkes-Borre, Po.

The Pride of Wilkes Over the last four years Wilkes has gone through many changes. They have all been reported in this paper but many times people , forget or they go unnoticed or they are taken for granted. This is the time to start to take notice of what Wilkes has to offer in this new era of progress. · It all began when President Capin was innaugurated the third president of the college. Since then the admissions office has been totally restaffed and is working aggressively. The Nursing Department received initial accreditation from the National League for Nursing. The Music and Commerce & Finance departments have been revitalized with strong leadership under new chairmen. The forever vacant Conyngham Home on South River Street has been transformed into a fantastic Student Center. The Alumni now receive a magazine quarterly throughout the year keeping them in close touch with the college. The new Dean of Academic Affairs appears to be very promising and is a ·good example of the house cleaning that has been going on in Weckesser Hall an~ the college in general. The Alumni Director is making steps to turn this year's Homecoming into an all out main event. A Communications program has been introduced. The Debate team is receiving national recognition. The college radio station is growing and improving every month . · The wrestling team co~tinues to win and captured a second place title-in the Eastern Championships last year. We have three class presidents who are taking their jobs seriously. The Engineering department continually boasts of 100 percent placement of its graduates. There are 180 students living in the Hotel which indicates a growing interest in Wilkes outside the Wyoming Valley. The list goes on. • Like any college, Wilkes has problems, but it is pointing itself in the direction of meeting the demands that will be put on all private liberal arts colleges in the future . What the college has in its favor far outweighs its problems .. In no way are we saying that the students should be honored to attend Wilkes College but we do have a lot to be proud of. . Pride is contagious and could unite this campus. It could create the so called "Wilkes College Family" feeling. It could motivate the students, faculty and administration to ..coordinate.efforts that would lead to acheivements - never before thought possible. Apathy is not a problem on this campus. The problem is a lack of pride and respect. Let's take a look at what we've got around us and appreciate it. A simple change of attitude could make all the difference.

I �_Page 6, The Beacon, ~eptember 13, 1979 . • Harriers Look·For Best, Will Run ''Right" Way · After their first two winning seasons in the history of the program, the Wilkes College -cross country team will be out to have its best season yet. One of the reasons for this is the return of all the lettermen of last season. The other reason is the appointment of new head coach Ron Righter, who was also appointed head basketball coach. "I am very impressed with the team. The at- titude is good and I hope to continue the winning ways with a lot of hard work," stated Righter. One of the ways Righter is trying to improve the team is by having them run twice a day. Righter has also added more stretching exercises which includes yoga. Helping out Coach Righter will be Steve Justice, who will also be assistant basketball coach. This year's captain is senior Don Welcome Back! Welcome Back! I guess you've heard the more than once during the past week or so. But the "big story" around Wilkes' sports this week is now who's welcomed back, but who wasn't. There have been many coaching changes since we've last seen each other. The major change comes in men's basketball, where two coaches were hired since the end of last season. You might remember that Joe Super, as assistant with Hartwick, was named as the new coach in the last issue of the Beacon last year. Super replaced Rodger Bearde who lost his job to tenure. Well , Super held the post for a month and resigned, yeah, he resigned, due to personal reasons, (girlfriend and all that). His departure let Wilkes-cage fans and the AD John Reese up in the air, like maybe, SUPERMAN. Reese was pressured to find a replacement fast and keep the program from dying. Then, he came across the "right" man. The Wilkes athletic office hired former St. Joe's cager Ron Righter, who stands at 6-7, to handle the men's basketball chores. Once you meet Righter, you'll know why people are saying Wilkes will be a basketball power in two years or so. The likeable former Hawk, replaced another great guy in Bearde. It is rate in sports when one "real nice guy" replaces another. The only problem we have in all this. is trying to figure out why Righter was passed up the first time around. Anyway, he's here and men's basketball at Wilkes is on the way up, with some top-notch recruits and a host of talented lettermen returning including All-World Kendall McNeil. Don't be too surprised to see the Colonels in the MAC playoffs this winter. Another basketball appointment ( men's) is new assistant coach Steve Justice, who _replaces Clarence Ozgo, who left to assist Bearde at Lake-Lehman High School near Dallas. Justice and Righter both possess "big-time :: backgrounds, instrumental in turning a program like Wilkes around. Righter was All-Big Five with the Hawks and played for Coach Jack McKinney, recently named coach of the L.A. Lakers. The day he got the job, McKinney called Righter to give him the good news. Justice is a former Minnesota cager who played with the likes of Jim Brewer and San Diego Padres' superstar Dave Winfield. Both will also run the Wilkes College cross country program this fall. In women's basketball. East Stroudsburg State grad Nancy Roberts was named to replace Sandy Bloomberg as head coach. Bloomberg. like Bearde. lost her job to tenure. Roberts will be very busy this year as she wJll also be the head coach of the women's softball team, as former head coach Gay Meyers moves down to an assistant position. Roberts will also assist the women's tennis program. Another new head coach is Lew Partridge. who takes over the head women's tennis reigns from Bloomberg. Partridge. a fine player in his own right, was an assistant last year and was a natural choice for the head job this season. AD Reese told us that Charles "Chuck" Mattei will take over as head !across coach at Wilkes succeeding the departed Jon Hobrock. who according to sources, was "terminated" as coach. Mattei was head mentor of the Blue and Gold stickmen a few years back and should have no problem this spring. He will be assisted by Fred Lohman . Another assistant named for the fall was former Nanticoke Area head football coach Dan Distasio. who was appointed as an assistant defensive coach for football. And if the "out with the old , in with the new" coaching changes wer.e not enough. we encountered a "switch" during the off-season. Ernesto Lopez . last year's Wilkes asst. soccer coach, will be the head mentor this fall, and former head coach Kurt Hagman, will serve as his assistant. It seems Hagman will not have enough time to be a head coach with his new duties with WDAU-TV. where he serves as a sports reporter during the week and the head weekend sports broadcaster. Welcome Back! Eddie White III Patrick. Other key members of the team are freshman sensation of last season, Ken Pascoe; a now healthy Danny Thomas; senior Roger Davis ; juniors Ed Eppler and Vince D' Amato; and sophomore Lou Mucciolo who Righter says " could be the darkhorse of the team." Key freshmen are Steve Kovac, Bob Feldman and Kevin Cavanaugh. Overall, Righter feels " we will be surprising and I think by the Scranton meet we can be~t them." Another thing Righter would like to get across to the people of Wilkes is "I am a person that likes to win and none of the sports (basketball and cross country) will be shortchanged. I will devote as much time to both sports." SCHEDULE Sept. 15 King's and Delaware Vally (H) Sept. 19 Baptist Bible (H) Sept. 26 Scranton and Muhlenberg (Al Sept. 29 Phila.

It opens up this Saturday. Be There! In what should be a barn-burner for an opening game, the Colonels will host Delaware Valley College, which opened its season a week ago with a 30-0 triumpb over Washington and Lee. Meanwhile, the Blue and Gold took part in the annual scrimmage with Princeton University in New Jersey. Last season, Wilkes opened up 1978 with a 10-9 win over the Aggies in Doylestown. Last Saturday, Wilkes dropped a 22-21 decision to the Ivy League school in the scrim- mage after leading most of the way . Good news, Wilkes fans! The Colonels showed an offense Saturday led by quarterbacks Tom Cywinski and Mike Wilson. Many fans are wondering who will start at QB for the Colonels. Coach Schmidt has told the BEACON, Cywinski, a sophomore, will get the nod against Del Val. "Tommy started the last few games last season and we won our last three outings, so we'll go with him as a starter," stated Schmidt, who enters his 18th year at the helm of Wilkes. In the starting backfield with Cywinski will be tailback Joe Moran looks over his offensive line as it goes through drills. The Colonels open up this Saturday at home. <PHOTO BY MILLER) Open Saturday Carmen LoPresto, who was AllMAC last year· and could be AllAmerican this season, and senior fullback Paul Kotulak. Against Princeton the strongpoint of the whole Wilkes attack was as always the defense of coordinator Ed Lukas. The line was ferocious against the Division I Tigers, the linebackers were hard- . hitting while picking up two interceptions and the secondary was strong in spots. Newcomer Bill Lugiano, a senior transfer from Susquehanna University had one interception while senior Jim Martin, had the other on a brilliant one- handed intercept. Also impressive in the scrimmage was back Mark Hmelak, a sophomore transfer from, again, Susquehanna University. There is no truth to the rumor that SU has a plaque. Hmelak came in for LoPresto and did a fine job and tallied Wilkes first score. The Colonels second TD came on a oneyard plunge by Cywinski, whose nick-name is-" Deer-Hunter." Senior Mike Wilson showed he is a contender for the QB job by passing to always-ready and underrated Cliff Jones for the Wilkesmen's final score of the day. .MACJ>.review .

QB Kurt Schneider is expected to lead them this year along with back Julio Pellegrini, the leading rusher in 1978. Defense could be the weak point for the Lions and a team with a half-decent offense could have a field day against Albright. The Lions downed Wileks 24-6 a year ago at Ralston Field. Wilkes must now meet them in Reading in 1979 on Oct. 20. SUSQUEHANNA - Who wants to play for Susquehanna? It looks like . nobody.

DELAWARE VALLEY - This week's Wilkes College opponent. A preview is not really necessary, because you can see the Aggies for yourself this Saturday at Ralston Field at 1: 30. They do have a super defensive backfield (beware Tom Cywinski) and possess a better than average offense. MADISON FDU - Who? That's right, for the second straight year, the Jersey Devils are expected to be broken, and Wilkes should coast to an easy win on Oct. 13 for Homecoming at Ralston Field. Only in its sixth year of college football, FDU comes off a 1-8 season, _ but boasts 52 lettermen. Holy Cow!! ! Gene Dul will be the quarterback, while tight end Joe Memmolo shows good credentials.

The day started very early when students began gathering in front of the Stark Learning Center at 7:30 a.m. for their journey to Hershey, "Chocolate Town, USA.'' Over 300 students and fac ulty participated in the event, and five buses and a van were utilized. The buses left Wilkes promptly at 8:00 a.m. for the two hour ride. Most students went to take the famous tour through the Hershey Chocolate Factory and purchase . those famous chocolate bars for * . GOING UP - Wilkes students on their way towards the loop on the "Super . themselves and friends. DOOPER Looper." . After this adventure, the park was open and Wilkes students wasted no time getting into the swing of things and showing that Wilkes College spirit. The weather was exceptionally beautiful for a day at an amusement park. The ferris wheel, carousel and the "Sliding Bobs" were thejirst ri~~~ that you could spot a Wilkes 'student or faculty member-on. As the day went on, the most popular rides seemed to · be "The Comet," where you go straight up and straight down; the ".Super Dooper Looper," which has the great loop; and the "Coal Cracker," where one gets slightly wet. If one could not see a Wilk es student Business Dept. Head Margaret Scholl Sophomore Class Still Being Sought The resignation of Dr. Robert Werner as Chairman of the Business Department -has left the school with the difficult task of finding a replacement. According to Robert S. Capin, President of Wilkes College, the selection of a new chairman will come from outside of the depart- · ment in an effort to bolster the busines program. Capin stated, "Outside candidates will bring in new ideas and will have different contacts which will advance the reputation of the program." The searching process for a chairman actually began last year but was abandoned after a few months. Capin commented that the nominees interviewed at that time did not want the position or did not meet standards set by the administration. "We decided to wait until this fall when the market for the kind of person we need would be right." President Capin ·stressed that the responsibilites of any chairmanship are great, and the qualifications needed to handle them will not be overlooked. It is up to the department chairman not only to maintain academic integrity but also to manage the department efficiently. He must make book orders, faculty assignments, tenure recommendations as well as keep abreast of the quality of education offered under jurisdiction. When aske~d to comment on the pressures of the position. Dr. Howard Williams, acting business chairman, said he felt that the position was a buffer between faculty and administration members. He further stated that the chairman is the one person the public focuses their attention on when they address the business field. Williams noted that although he considers the program here at Wilkes to be very good, there are some changes that can be made to improve the curriculum. One example of such a on a particular ride, they certainly could hear them. Different groups of students banded together- and showed that Wilkes spirit by repeating the "Go Wilkes" cheer on various rides. Rarely would you see a Wilkes student sitting down ; they were constantly on the go. Some other popular attractions were: visiting ZooAmerica; seeing the dolphin shows; riding the MonoRail and singing the Hershey Park theme song ; or riding in the "Kissing Tower" and doing who knows what. Everyone who went seemed to have an enjoyable time but most were completely exhausted by the time the buses arrived back in Wilkes-Barre. change would be to weed out courses no longer useful to a business major. Perhaps the M.B.A. program could be better publicized to attract more students. Williams concluded by saying that even though these changes would improve the business program, a student is advised to follow the requirements contained in the Bulletin for a good education. Dean Hartdagen is leading the search for a new chairman and it appears that everyone is confident that he will find the right person for the position very shortly.

Communications Studies Begiiis,· Replaces Engll.sh Con cen tra t,·on. Communications Studies i~ now officially underway, replacing the concentrations in Speech and Communications previously included in the English curriculum. The goal of the program is to offer students a Communications degree which combines a liberal arts education with 'training m occupational skills, according to Dr. Thoms Kaska, Chairman of the Department of Languages and Literature. He continued that the college has been awarded a grant from the Ford Foundation, entitled Project Quill. Under the terms of the grant, a senior seminar. Communications in an Open Society will be offered next fall. This course will cover ethics, communication law. semantics, persuasion, and propaganda in order to enhance and develop the students' ability to analyze and interpret events from a humanistic perspective. Many of the other new communications courses will also be offered for the first time next fall. This semester, six communications courses and an internship are being offered. They include Fundamentals of Speech. Rhetoric, Principles of Communication, Mass Media, News Writing and Public Relations. A seventh course, Broadcast Management was cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. At least one course in broadcasting will be offered in the spring semester, stated Dr. Kaska . Student interest in the prograin is · increasing. There are approximately fifteen new freshmen communications majors as well as between fifty and sixty upperclassmen English majors with concentrations in communications. In addition, a new faculty member, Dr. Norma Schulman, has been added to help teach the new courses. Her qualifications include Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in English Literature, a Master of Arts degree in Broadcasting, and a Ph.D. · in English and American Literature. Dr. Schulman is teaching composition this fall by choice. Because of her joint appointment in English and Communications, Dr. Schulman will be teaching courses in both disciplines in the future, stated Dr. Kaska.

In Europe he became very interested in the. theater. It was at this point that he decided he should do what he considered worthwhile and not what everyone told him was important. He decided to return to graduate school at the University of Iowa for a degree in theater. After graduation he directed professionally near Chicago. He was then contacted by a college in Virginia and asked to be the director of their theater. He decided to take the job because of his love of teaching and the theater. The job at Wilkes attracted him for several reasons. First, the theater facility itself is excellent and easy to work in. He also liked the opportunity to start out on the ground floor of a new theater program, where he could have a hand in generating interest in the students toward the theater. Other deciding factors included : the . ) · academic reputation of the college, the closeness of the college to New York City ( with all its theaters ) and the chance to work with professional designer Klaus Holm and director Leonard Powlick. Siegfried believes that there is a real committment on behalf of the faculty and administration towards the liberal arts tradition and that theater is an integral part of this tradition. He feels that any student can become involved in a production if they are genuinely interested, no matter how inexperienced they are. It is his feeling that any interested i;itudents should attend the Cue'n'Curtain club meetings and show auditions . As for his personal data he says he is, " happily married, no children and one cat. " He likes to run and jog and is getting his wife interested in running. His only real hobby is playing his twelve year old Martin guitar. When asked why he has so few hobbies, he smiled and said, " because the theater consumes most of my time." Student Government President pleted since.

The n t her e is t he problem of compiling all the data. The college doesn't have a scanner to read the data off the forms so SG has to find some firm or institution that will let them use their scanner. Last year SG had to recopy each-individual evaluation form (over 6,000) because. the - scanner they finally found would not read the information off our forms. Once the results came through, they were very confusing and complex to appreciate and use. When done correctly they could be an important asset to the college.

The idea for the trip came about at the end of the spring semester and SG followed through with it to make it happen. All the planning and arranging were taken care of over the summer, and when the semester began, SG put out an aggressive publicity promotion to make sure everyone was well aware of the trip. Though a larger crowd was desired, close to 300 people took part in the day. No complaints were registered, and the only regrets made were by the students who did not go. Dave Blumfield and the rest of SG should be commended for their efforts. A job well done! Our only hope is that the rest of SG 's activities go over as well as the first. NOTICE Creative?

Dr. Herbert Garber, music professor, is taking the initial steps to organize one by first starting a string ensemble. The college already has in existence a band under the direction of Mr. Campbell. Dr. Garber feels that there is a definite need for the string ensemble. It would provide enjoyment for the entire college body and the community. Dr. Garber stresses, "Anyone interested in the ensemble need not be a music major." He hopes that the string ensemble will eventually develop . into an orchestra and will be comprised of students of all interests. Any Wilkes student, who has had experience on the violin, viola, cello or bass and is interested in the ensemble, is urged to contact Dr. Herbert Garber at Darte Hall, room 301 as soon as possible.

There was one problem though, somebody forgot to tell veteran Mike Wilson. All the senior from Upper Marlboro, Md., did last week was come off the bench to throw touchdown passes of- 22 ~Eand 30 yards Mike Wilson to Rob Irwin to lead Wilkes to a 13-3 opening day victory over MAC foe Delaware Valley at Ralston Field. Wilson completed eight of 15 for 126 yards in addition to gaining another 75 yards on the grQl,1,QQ on ten carries to finish the day <vith over 200 yards \ot~l offense. It's' no wonder he w'as nominated for the ECAC player of the ,week honors. Word of this week's winner came after press time. Cywinski started for Wilkes and just could not get things going. missing on his three pass attempts and throwing an interception. With Wilkes trailing 3-0 in the second quarter, Coach Schmidt went to Wilson, who abounds with potential. Wilson guided Wilkefi t.hr.oughout the second quarter and with O: 19 left on the clock, he hit' Irwlri with a 22-yard scoring.. strike ~~-- ~take '! Wilkes to a 6-3 advantage. Sophomore soccer-style kicker Tony Tavella booted the extra-point and Wilkes went into the lockerroom with a 7-3 lead. After the opening kickoff of the second period, Del Val passed on third down and super senior Dave Korba intercepted at the thirty. It was one ·of three intercepts on the day for Korba, whose career total of 12 is only three shy of the Wilkes record held by Joe Wiendl. Bob Luby, who also returns punts and kicks, also notched an interception. On the first play from the 30, Wilson went deep to Irwin who made a splendid catch for the score. The snap on the extra point was fumbled and Tavella never got it off. That was all the scoring and Wilkes had a 1-0 overall record and a more important MAC slate of 1-0 to take into this week's league game with a tough Lycoming team in Williamsport. The Colonels have now won four in a row, counting the last three victories of 1978. Irwin had an exceptional day for Wilkes -against Del Val, catching four passes for 92 yards' and the two scores. Sean O'Dea also had two Bob Irwin ,. · Dave Korba receptions for 22 yards as did Rob Rushworth . Behind Wilson, rushing wise was junior Carmen LoPresto who had a rough . opening day, gaining 66 yards on 19 carries. Wilkes starting fullback Paul Kotulak was held to two yards on only one carry. . The Wilkes defense, which looked terrible in the first quarter, came alive and dominated the game in the final three quarters of action. Leading the line charge were Jim Devaney and Ed Mollahan, who enjoyed fine games. Linebackers Glenn Colvin and Mike Patrick, along' with Jim Martin, aided the "D " also. The secondary was fair at times but got " burned" quite a bit when it should not have. If not for Korba's and Luby's intercepts, the score might have been Jifferent. · Another problem with Saturday's game was the clock. We would like to think that at Wilkes College we win fairly . But if you had your eye on the clock Saturday, it continued to run after Del Val either went out of bounds or threw an incomplete pass. And the officials were not keeping the official time on the field - they went by the score board clock and are also to blame. Eddie White Ladies··:L -o ok for First: Open Today at Scranton " We'll have to replace some important people, but I think we're going to be all right," said Wilkes women's field- hockey coach G,!y Meyers . All her girls did last year was have a 8-4-4 outing, winning their fifth straight NPWIAA crown and their first ever Middle Atlantic Conference Northern Division title. Pam Snyder Gone however, from last year's super team are Julie Kerrick and Lu Ann Neely through graduation and last year's great freshman Mary Lynn Drebelbis, who transferred to Messiah College. Another problem that Coach Meyers is experiencing is that of lier junior nursing majors. Due to their study time, they will miss many practices, and some key games. " We have a lot of good freshmen and some of those girls will see a lot of action early," added Meyers . The Colonelettes will be riding on the wings of senior co-captains Mary Jo Frail, from Wilkes-Barre and Meyers High School, and Jerry Ann Smith, from Conestoga Valley. Both girls are very experienced and are three time letter winners. The lady Colonels had three scrimmages prior to today's season opener at Scranton. Last week, they scimmaged Elizabethtown and Coach Meyers explained that it proved ·to be a " waste of time" due to the poor field conditions. They did however have good conditions on Friday at Bloomsburg State and although the girls were not as sharp and together as the coach would like them to be, they still looked very good . The final scrimmage was Sunday against the Alumni. If past performances are any indication, the 1979 edition of the Wilkes College field hockey team will be as successful and exciting as always . . Gary Mack Mary Jo Frail The Wilkes College cross country team opened its season with a sweep of a triangular event this past Saturday at the 5.4 mile Kirby Park course. Wilkes defeated crosstown rival King's College 23-36, and Delaware Valley 25-30. Delware Valley's Jim Parsons took the individual honors with an outstanding time of 27:53.5. WIikes' super soph Ken Pascoe finished second at 28:31.5. Two King's runners took third and fourth - Francis Awanya of Uganda and Al Leonard. Wilkes harriers Dan Thomas and Ed Eppler placed fifth and sixth with times of 29 : 34 and 29 : 40 respectively. . Other Wilkes finishers included: · John Supinski, eighth ; Roger Davis, 12th ; Lou Mucciolo, 15th; Captian •Doh Patrick; Vince D'Amato; Steve Kovac ; Ken Waters; Kevin Cavanaugh ; and Bob Feldman. The Colonels now 2-0, were expected to meet Baptist Bible yesterday and then travel for a triangular meet with arch-rival Scranton University and Muhlenberg on Sept. 26. , Rich Nordheim ;. �September 20, 1!17!1, · The Beacon, I bttwttntht READ THIS! b)· Eddie \\lhite lints Page 7 Soccer-i Opens I The Yankees had Babe Ruth, the Lakers had Wilt Chamberlain, and the Cosmos had Pele. Almost all , sporting teams have a superstar to lead them. This yea r 's Wilkes College soccer team, however, rioes not. According to coach Ernesto Lopez, the Wilkes booters will have to rel y on team-work as the key to victory this year due to this lack o' a one superstar. The squad proved their potential in the alumni-scrimmage, downing the over-the-hill gang 5-0. Recently they opened the season for real against a tough Upsala College team and dropped a 4-2 overtime decision in East Orange, N.J. The main problem with this year's team .is the lack of experience. A majority of the players are in there first year of soccer at Wilkes and many have never played the sport before. Coach Lopez r.nd his assistant Kurt Hagman will be counting upon a few veterans to guide the inexperienced players. One such vet is Dung Chi Duong, or Zumi. Zumi, who plays the front line, is- the team 's number one offensive threat and he is an excellent dribbler who can score from any part of the offensive end of the field. Playing up front with Zumi will be another seasoned veteran Carlos Riebero. These two players will provide Wilkes with an awesome one-two scoring punch . Goalie Dave Reynolds and fullback Nick Golowich will be the groundstone on which the defense is built. Reynolds has ex-perience and has looked very impressive in practice. He should give the opposing teams more frustration than they can handle. Nick will lead the "D" from the center fullback position. There are many question marks in. regards to this year's club . The lack of experience points towards a losing season, but the tremendous amount of enthusiasm the team displays makes up for this loss two times over. The offense will try to develop a short passing game, involving much teamwork. This combined with the team 's enthusiasm and a lot of fan support, could make this season's edition is a Read this!

In addition, he was suspended from his dorm from 5:30 p.m. Thursday. September 20. to Sunday, September 2:l. Althoug h Sherman's party was registered. he violated the policy because he had two kegs uresent instead of his registered one keg. Paul Adam s. Housing Director, took action against Sherman after hearing about the party , and the two kegs, from Sherman . Even though Adams and Sherman are acquainted with each other.. Adams insisted that Chuck should ha ve realized that action would be taken against him if he mentioned it anyone in authority . Adams stated, "When parties are turned in to me, then action will be taken , definitely!" Chuck was instructed to go home and discuss the matter with his . parents after whic h he would return to school, with his pa rents. at their convenience. The ' punishment Chuck will receive depe nds greatly upon the outcome of the meeting between his parents and the Dean's Council . Contrary to popular belief, Sherman did not miss any classes due to the meetings he had with the Dean 's Council.

" This day is conceived of as a casting Contest. 1 Dean Arthur Hoover and Mrs. Doris Barker, advisors to Student Government, began the drive for money to be used for the Student Center by donating $50 and $25 respectively. The money-raising project is headed by David Blumfield and Student Government. The money that is contributed will be used to buy a stereo, to be used throughout the building; a four-foot suspended television for the lounge; and bar equipment plus necessities. At this point one may be wondering how the college and Student Government can afford these " extras"? Afterall, the coliege just refurnished the old Conyngham home into the new Student Center . Well, this is where you come into · the picture. Student Government Commuter Council, Inter-Dormitory Council and the Student Center Board are each donating f$500 to the drive giving a base amount of $2000. The projected need is between $8,000 and $10,000. I Blumfield sees no problem in raising the additional money and has a set of plans to achieve the goal. The first people that Blumfield is turning to are the students, faculty and administration. He is asking them to give what they can because the !!ew equipment will benefit everyone. "Collection boxes will be set up around the campus, mainly at the Student' Center, the cafeteria, the bookstore and possibly in Stark," states Blumfield . He feels that if each of the 2000 students at Wilkes gives a dollar, " that's $2000 closer to the goal.

This was done after the results of a recent survey conducted by Ana Nunez, academic committee chairman, during the recent elections indicated overwhelmingly that the students are not in fa vor of the evaluation project. The results were as follows : 1) Have you ever used the published results for choosing a professor? 26 per cent yes ; 71 per cent no. 2) Have you ever used the published results for choosing .a course? 18 per cent yes ; 79 per cent no. 3 l If a course advisory service were available, one which contain- . ed information on course content, teaching emphasis, etc., woulct' you use it? 79 per cent yes ; 16 per cent no.

(Continued on Page 3) �. Page 2, The Beacon, September 27, l!li!I IDC I Co-ed Dorms A Possibility Co-educational Housing may become a reality on the Wilkes College campus in the near future if funding is available and if the Administration is cooperative. At the Interdormitory Council meeting Sunday night, President Mike Stapleton stated that a survey conducted by Dr. Freysinger and others for the Middle States Evaluation later this year revealed that a significant majority of the students questioned would prefer co-ed housing. According to Paul Adams, Housing Director, last winter Wilkes applied for funds to build a new dorm on Northampton St. where the women•·s dorms, Chesapeake, Delaware, and Susquehannok Halls are now standing. Many of the JDC members were enthusiastic about the idea of co-ed housing but several questioned the need for a change. Mike Stapleton then discussed the beneftts of co-ed housing, including better security in a dorm .with both men and women; less destruction and disruptive behavior in the dorm; and, in some cases, an increased Racquetball Club New This-Year Racquetball is one of the fastest growing recreational spGrts today. The game is easy to learn and merely requires ; a raquet, a ball and a four-walled court. In the beginning of the semester Scott Wiener decided he was going to share his interest in racquetball with the rest of Wilkes College. He thought if he could get enough people interested in the game he could form a league and possibly receive discounts at one of the local courts. To this end Scott started the racquetball club. , . After only two weeks, the club ·has a roster of nearly sixty interested people. Scott cannot believe the response to the club. " I was only expecting about twenty people," he said. Due to the great interest in the club, Scott made arrangements with Royal Courts in Plains, for membership discounts. If the club can get fifty to seventy-five members, th!! cost for a court membership will be $15 per year. With the way the club is growing Scott believes they can cut the membership fee to $15 and possibly $10. Racquetball is an easy game to learn and any new members in the club can be taught the game in a few lessons. " It's great exercise," says Scott, " and it's fun to play ." Anyone interested in the club should contact Scott Wiener at 8237741. Bill Turcan Grade Point Average for many in a co-ed dorm . Vice President Mike Sibilia also felt that living in a coed dorm could be a good learning experience since men and women do not live in- separate buildings outside of college. Stapleton noted that, to some extent, co-ed housing does exist at Wilkes such as in the Hotel Sterling during the fall and spring semesters, and in Pickering Hall during the summer sessions. JDC members who live at the Hotel expressed no dissatisfaction with this arrangement, and those who had lived in Pickering Hall during the sum.mer felt that it had worked out well. A Co-Ed Housing Committee will be formed in the near future to d·eal with the question. The first party in the new Student Center, held Friday night was considered a success. One . JDC member who had attended the party felt that "the people there handled themselves well' and that the building was not too crowded. However, it was noted that security was inadequate, especially around · the bar, where two cases of mugs which the Sophomore Class was selling were stolen. Mike Stapleton stressed that, at future parties in th.e Student Leach Resigns Position Effective last June 1, Dr. David Leach resigned the position as Chairman of the History DepartCenter. rules would be more strictment, at which time Dr. James ly enforced .

He finds students exciting and working with them is worthwhile. Leach wants more contact with students. He notes, " One should do what one enjoys.''

President Capin asked the committee to review the recommendations with the curriculum committee of the faculty . The curriculum committee supported the recommendations and President Capin directed their implementation. Dr. Kaska met with Dr. Leonard Powlick, Mr. Groh and a department comm ittee to write a curriculum fo r the theater arts major. The results was a major combining work in the liberal arts and fortyfi ve credit hours in dramatic history, literature, and studio courses. The dramatic history and literature series includes courses on Fundamentals of Play Structure and Criticism, Theater History, Shakespeare, and Early English Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century Drama, Modren Drama, or American Drama. The studio series, includes Speech for the Stage, Production, Acting, Lighting for the Stage, Scene Design, Directing, and Theater Beginning this semester a major in thea ter -arts is being offered through the D.epartment of Language and Literature. During the past several years, theater art- sd was concentration offered through the English Department. The department had only two faculty members and a declining enrollment. The admninistration of the college felt that our theater facilities were not being used to their full potential. As a result, last Spring President Robert S. Capin appointed a committee to examine alternative organizational modes for the department. The committeee members were Dr. Thomas Kelly, Dr. William Sterling, Dr. Michael Barone, and Mrs. Edward Darling of the Board of Trustees. Organizational possibilities included : forming a joint theater department with King's College; allowing the depa rtment to remain on its own ; or combining the department with another department such as the Depar4llent of Language and Literature, the Music Department, or a new department of communications and theater arts. The committee interviewed faculty members, students, Mr. Alfred Groh and Mr. Klaus Holm • from the theater department, Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of the Dept. of Languages and Literature, theater faculty from other schools, and community members who are active in the theater . A list of recommendations was submitted by the committee at the end of its investigation. The recommendations included : Place the theater arts department into the department of Language and Literarure, hire an additional faculty member with expertise in acting and directing, appoint a faculty member as theater coordinator, allow for one joint production per ~ '->< Q , ~ ~ < Q > < Q > < Q , i t IRENE'S f:i~~E § § § i § QUALITY FASH/ONSMODERATE PRICES ~ § 1 § §t BROOKS HAIR SALON Men 's and Women ' s hair styl i ng manicures and perms Call Frank or Pete for an appointment 824-2325 15 S.

I !17!1 Alcohol & Polic'i es Due to the recent happenings of the reported violation in the party policy, we feel we must speak out on this issue and not allow it to simply pass unnoticed. We are not condemning the administration or making a hero out of any violator. This matter is too serious to go without comment,however. As i~ is written, the current alcohol/party policy only allows one quarter keg in a dorm. That party must be registered with the Housing Office and the resident assistant of that dorm~No more than 15 people at one time are allowed for a gathering. The beer must stay in the room of the person sponsoring the party or where otherwise designated. The person holding the gathering or someone associated with it must be 21 years and assume full responsibility. This policy was written as a revision after last year's action by the Dean's Council to remove all parties from the dorms. Alcoholic beverages are restricted to the Student- Center for parties. . We understand the administration's point of view that due to the state's 21 year old drinking age, the college does not want to be held responsible for condoning under-age drinking. They must, however, recognize that no matter what the law says, students who are under-age will continue to drink. The happy medium between the two seems to be the above alcohol/party policy or is it? • It is common knowledge that many parties are held, registered and unregistered, that are in severe violation of this policy. No action is taken,however, because they are never reported or brought to light. Most would feel that this is fine as long as these parties are held in a constructive manner and no damage is done to any dorms or as long as no one gets hurt. We can see the logic behind this, but is it also fair to those whose parties are in vfoiation, but held in a constructive manner and are then reported to the Dean's Council for action . Obviously there is an inconsistency involved here which doesn't appear to make any sense. We have no solutions to the problem but can only predict that similar situations will arise in the future. / . j /\I',,.... ,. ' '-.. ,· l ~ -~ _~\' . ~ !

A best+sel!ing recording artist for RCA, London. Vox, and Columbia, Mr. Bolent's career has been marked by one extraordinary artistic triumph after another. As a recitalist and soloist with the world's finest symphonies, he has won critical acclaim un- . precedented in the world of music. New York Times critic Harold Schonberg has called him a "superpianist" who is an "idol of connoisseurs of romantic piano playing." He has been credited with taste that is " impeccable .. . technique ... command ofJ.he repertory masterful" - a dazzling performer who is a " poet at the keyboard" recalling the " great days of romanticism."

Over the summer, Marta did in-depth research into other sororities and fraternities searching for a way to put new life into Theta Delta Rho . Marta explains, " I want the sorority to attain a certain unity from the activities that . they choose." The junior psychology major feels that she is in her posilion to guide the members, but that they must make decisions concerning the activities of th~ir interest. In another attempt to breath more life into the sorority a new advisor has been added along with Dr. Joseph Bellucci. The new coadvisor is Tanya Hallez, associate director of alumni relations. Th e b"1ggest even t th a t TDR spon-· sors and participated in is their traditional dinner-dance in February. Plans are already in molion for this event. The setting will be the Treadway Inn: This formal is open to any Wilkes students. The sorority also holds various lli• .. nual "Golden Ager" Christmas party and this year the sorority will be visiting patients in hospitals. This year TDR will sponsor their traditional wine and cheese party and will embark on new events such as an all-college fashion show in cooperation with a department store. Any students.female or male are welcome to participate. The members of Theta Delta Rho will also be participating in a makeup demonstration entitled "Sheer Artistry". Throughout the year the members conduct various . fund-raisers, such as candy apple sales, bake sales, hoagie sales and fudge and brownie sales.

One recommendation was to develop a freshmen college that offered additional attention for individuals and instruction for all freshmen as a whole. The results from this action have been widely talked about. and the final product was unveiled this year, titled the Freshmen Studies Program. The basic objective of the program is to teach the fi;eshmen to learn, how to study, and how to do research work on their own. The ex- . .~an't we order pizza tonight? Hofe' L'·fe No P·roble· m Freshmen Ad1·usf Well ::~;~ne~s traindividualattentionthestudents get is aimed at sharpening the students study skills while, at the same time, broadening the students . , • Despite appearances Wilkes College did not buy the Sterling Hotel for use as a college dormitory. What happened was that there was an increase in the number of 'students wanting to live on campus ; this combined with an already · existing shortage of housing and, presto, there are almost two hundred students assigned to the hotel. The housing office has managed to relocate a good number of students back into campus dormitories, but there are still one hundred and fifty students residing in the hotel. Odd as it may seem, this makes the .Sterling Hotel the largest dormitory at. Wilkes College. Jean Reiter, Associate Director of Housing, gave several reasons for the overload. The first is the rising cost of gasoline and fears concerning its availability during the winter months. These factors, along with a renewed enthusiasm for campus life, have convinced a greater number of _local area residents to reside at the school rather than at home. Also to blame was the Admissions office policy of accepting students up until the last couple of days before the start of school. The Housing Office was in the position of having to place students as late as the Friday before classes started. .The biggest problem at first was to find beds and furniture for every room. It seems the Sterling Hotel has managed to get by without having furniture for all its rooms. Why this is so is beyond me. Wilkes had ordered what was needed, but typically it wasn't delivered on time. The next issue to be dealt with was the number of Resident Assistants needed to cover the Hotel's large student population. Originally, Paul Adams, Director of Housing, had four RA's stationed there, but then decided to hire an additional one on a semester basis. The RA's duties at the hotel area the same as on campus, but those RA's in the hotel must deal with many more problems due to t~e hotels unique characteristics. For example, in none of the dorms on campus will you find someone who has made seven or eight room changes just since the semester started ; in the hotel you'll find a"t least one.· In the dorms you don't have the problem of army men recruiting college girls for parties ; in the hotel you do. These are only a few, but you get the idea. From the students' point of .view there are mixed reactions. The housing office has already a long list of those wanting to get out and move to a room on campus. Then again, there are some who like living in the hotel, some upperclassmen even went as far as to request a room there, if possible. The major complaint by students seems to be the long distance from the cafeteria . For business majors it isn't so bad because Parrish Hall is just across the street, but for many of the freshmen all their classes are in the . Stark Learning Center. Since its about a half mile from the cafe, in a day's travel one could easily walk close to five miles. Now, is that so bad? Getting fit and trim without even knowing about it! Most of the problems are on the administrative side of the coin. The cost of using the hotel only detracts from the money the college could be making. Plus, with the fire that broke out last semester the question of safety must be closely watched. The freshmen in the hotel have reacted well to the situation. They are now in the process of developing the ties · and friendships they will carry throughout their college days and hopefully through out their lives. It is our hope that despite the inconveniences these students have to put up with in this, their first year, they will have a rewarding and enjoyable college career. Perry Lichtinger LOT E N S of the world arou.nd D1rectmg the Freshmen Studies Program is Dr. Jean Driscoll. who also serves as the chairperson for the Political Science department. As as way to finance the program. Dr. Driscoll prepared, in 1977. a grant request from the National Endowment for t he Humanities. Not expecting to be accepted, the task force was estatic when they found out, in the fall of '78. that they ·had been granted funds to perdue the. development and implementation of their program. Dr. Driscoll noted that the program had to be revised several times before a suitable combination of content and cost could be found . The format finally decided upon \Hts a voluntary three-hour course covering such topics as; perspec- I ti',e. culture, history. and scientific methods. Films, discussion, and written assignments are tN<>d to fulfill the statec! otjectivel>. The format · of the program is such that the eight professors involved are not trying to teach their spec;alties, but rather the skills involved in doing individual research. In this respect. the Fr~shmen Studies Program is interdisciplinary. The teachers involved and their respective departments are: Dr. Richard Aston, Engineering ; Robert Freysinger. Political Science; Dr. Patricia Hearnen, Language and Literature ; Dr. Joseph Parker. Mathematics; Ms. Judy Rasson, Anthropology and Sociology ; and Dr. James Rodechko, History. Eight upperclass students were contracted as student fellows to help and assist with the program. They are: Mary Ann Bennet. Anthro.; Mary Bogumil, English; Mike Cononico, Engineering ; Loren Copeland, Pol Sci.. Kim Cresovich, Pre-med; Andrew Janquitto, History: Frank Sabatini. English ; and Michele Skurla, Math. These groups have been working since last · semester previewing films and discussing teaching strategies. Together they control the film viewing, discussion sessions, and tutoring. Hopefully, both students and the college will learn alot from this experiment; only time will tell. There are two· separate evaluating teams taking a look at the Wilkes program, thus providing information to those who will later decide if the program merits continuation. So far, reactions to the program from students is good. Nearly everyone I talked to liked the program and think it is worthwhile. There is some complaint over the amount of work. but the general feeling is that the extra work is well worth it. The instructors have made similar comments. stating that the program has so far worked out pretty much the way they had it planned. Also, as one professor put it, it is a great chance to sit down and talk about the situation the world is in today . During the discussion sessions many excellent comments have been brought up concerning not only basic causes for our problems, but also some pretty good suggestions too. The program seems to be giving the freshmen a chance to look talk about issues they might not have had the chance to without it. One good point that was made was that the freshmen aren't scared to speak out about our problems: and this is a good sign. The second semester opens a new section of the program. The instructors and student fellows will each teach a class and discuss whatever topic they feel will be most relavant. Since the subject matter discussed in the program is so varied, later in the coming issues I will bring up some of the more interesting topics raized. The program is· a good one and some things they bring up are worth a closer look, for us all to see. Perry Lichtinger Old Fashion Coffee House_ ShoWs Off College Talent Last Saturday night, a small crowd of people was treated to some of the best talent around when Cue-n-Curtain sponsored " An Old Fashion Coffee House" held in Church Hall. For those who weren't there, I can only say it's ·a shame you missed it. Eleven acts were put together for the evening and free coffee and cake were offered, but the real treat was in watching and listening to the artists perform. The show, put together by Tricia Lupi, offered a wide variety . of entertainment. A guy named Chaz opened with some guitar and vocals, then was joined by Adelle Tavella who provided harmony for a couple songs. Paul Kerrigan followed with a few Billy Joel songs on the piano. Adelle once again joined in and sang a Joan Beaz number called "Hello." Paul then gave the crowd an excellent dramatic monologue from the play " 1776." Lori Pritchard, a very talented freshman, shook the audience with an original dramatic monologue about a girl whose parents died. The realism of her performance made me want to call home and check to see that my folks were ok. Frank Forte brought the crowd back to earth with some songs and laughter on his guitar and kazoo . For someone who claims to have learned to sing only a week ago Frank turned in a fine performance . For the next act the crowd came alive and for good reason. A fellow by the name of Pat Goodwin took the stage and carried the-next twenty minutes or so with his version of many popular songs. Pat in the past has played the area in many bars and nightclubs, but will take some time off to develop his own material. When he returns I'm sure he'll be as good as ever if not better. The first half was closed by Seamus McGraw who, with his convincing style of speech, took the crowd down to the subways of New York and described the sad goodbye scene between a cosmopolitan girl and her wino father . Tricia Lupi accompanied on the piano. The second half started on a funny note with Chris Lonstrup reading a very good story about a boy, working in an A&P and his adventures following three bathing suit clad females through the aisles. Mark Bell, another freshman, sang three or four numbers, some of which were original. Darlene, Shafer, who along with Chris Lonstrup compete for the very successful debate team, gave the audience a very touching story titled, "Blue Rose."It wasn't the story itself that moved me. but rather the way Darlene told it. I can see very clearly now why our debate team is doing so well. Maria Smigel, with back-up vocals and guitar work by Tricia Lupi, presented us with a couple songs from the play Godspell . The two worked well together and this portion of the show was very enjoyable. In the final act of the night, Tricia Lupi let us in on a little secret. It's nice when she accompanies other performers, but it's a real treat when she goes it alone. Don't take my word for it. She starts playing tonight at Emersons at 10 p.m . Stop by and listen, then you'll know what I mean. In all the evening of entertainment went very well, and I'm going to make it a point not to miss the next Coffee House they put on. Many thanks must go out to Bill Stusnik, John Salwitz, Bill Turcan. Curt Schrawder, and Michael Flamirii for their help in pultting the show on. Thanks also to Seamus McGraw who was the me for the evening, and to Pat Goodwin for the use of his sound equipment.

Wilkes' American Ethnic Heritage Center Announces Grigorenko As Speaker The American Ethnic Heritage Center of Wilkes College in cooperation with the Ukranian Fraternal Association will present an open dialogue with forn'l~r Soviet Major-General Petro Grigorenko, Tuesday, October 2, at 7:30 p.m. at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. It will b~ the first major program. to be sponsored by the college organization which was established earlier this year to communicate and appreciate the cultural heritage of the many ethnic groups that have settled in Wyoming Valley. Grigorenko, who was featured as a Soviet dissident in a recent issue of "Time" magazine, was born 1907 in the za·porizhe region of the Ukraine. As a former majorgeneral in the Red Army and department head at Frunze Military Academy, he received several decorations including the prestigious " Order of Lenin." His tribulations as an open critic of the Soviet government began in World War II when he · criticized Stalin's military policies for failing to prepare the country for war. He was dismissed from · his post as head of the Frunze Academy in 1961 for criticizing the Krushchev personality cult. Grigorenko was later arrested in 1964 for continued dissidence and was stripped of his rank and placed in an institution. After his release in 1965, he protested against the 1965-66 t_rials of writers and the 1968 Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia. He was ar- Mary Ann Fedor rested in 1969 and tried in ansentia for anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda and deflamation of the Soviet state. Grigorenko was awarded the Freedom Prize by the New York based Freedom House in 1973 and joined the Moscow Helsinki monitoring group in May 1976. He was granted a six month visa to the United States for medical treatment in Fall 1977 then stripped of his Soviet citizenship and denied permission.to return to Russia. He currently resides in New York City and is head of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group-Abroad. · The open dialogue ·is presented to the public as a community service free of charge. Prior to the start of the discussion, a film will be presented on the life of the former Soviet military leader. - IN FULL 4-TRACK STEREO SURROUND SOUND G_all~_ry Seeks Members For Upcoming Season The Sordoni Art Gallery is once again looking for Gallery members.

The only fear the committee has is that ttie dorm and club . displays may suffer because of the work required on the floats . . . The committee hopes, however, that the floats will be an opportunity for more students to participate. It is also hoped the parade will spark enthusiasm for the college in the community and create spirit in the student body. Anyone interested in entering a float in the Homecoming Parade . must have their entry in the Stu~ent Government Office, in care of Ana Nunez by Friday, Sept. 28. Information such as guidelines on how to build a float; is available at the SG Office. Parties entering a float are responsible for providing their own locomotion, materials and location to build 'the float. They are also responsible for cleaning up after- Sophomore ·cla_ss ~· Party A Success The SUB party, held September twenty-first which was sponsored by the Sophomore class, was SUC· cess. The response to the first SUB party during the 79-80 school year was excellent. Two-hundred and forty persons attended the party aud many more persons were turned a~y because the building· was filled to capacity. Admission_was two ollars. The sophomore class sold mugs at the price of two dollars and fifty cents, however if a . mug and . a ticket were purchased the total price was only three dollars and fifty cents. '.fhe first floor of the·student union building served as a disco w_ith disc jockey J.J. hosting the evening. A party was held in the basement. Available for the enjoyment of those attending were beer and snacks. The discovery that two cases of mugs were stolen was the only disappointment of the evening. The plans for the SUB party were finalfzed at the meeting of · the sophomore class on September 18. Plans for the· class float were also discussed_and are currently underway. Another major topic of inquiry was the Freshman-Sophomore Dinner-Dance. Danny Glunk, president of the sophomore class, stated that the date of the dance is March 15 and the dance will be held :it the Treadway Inn. The six piece band, " Whirlwind," will perform from 9 p.m. to 1 a .m. that evening. Disc jockey, Charlie Sotolongo will'host the dinner-dance. a Mary Ann Fedor wards. There will probably be subsidies for those building floats, but the exact amount has yet to be determined. • Entries - for dorm and club displays must be submitted to the _SG Office by Oct. 4th.

It came during Dean Ralston's presentationand it had to deal with school "spirit." The dean expressed a joy over the fact that so many students attended the assembly, which showed that spirit does exist here at Wilkes. contrary to popular belief. Everyone in that gym that day even got "pumped up" over the dean's dramatic cheer - "Gooooooooooo, WILKES!" It was really refreshing to see that "spirit" alive · at Wilkes and to experience it at first-hand . The last three years around here have been as exciting as a run-away checker tournament. · We have the spirit. that's a fact. But we have to find new avenues to let us express our feelings and let it all hang out. After a week of racking your brain with math problems or finding out why Hitler did this or that. you can unwind. What I'm trying to say is this. Is it possible to have more of the assemblies. We could even focus them on athletics . You remember them from your " old" high school days - pej> rallies. Don't say you ' ve outgrown them . because many of the major colleges and universities still have pep rallies for most of their sports. Now. a pep rally every week is absurd. But. what if they could be set up where, every sport that season is present and cheered on for its next victory. We do have a rally during Homecoming festivities. but we must get the winter and spring sports involved. Many of the a_thletes around the school have expressed a positive attitude about possible rallies and fixing them up together with some parties on weekends. There are many ways of going about getting the spirit to flow . But the first is a very easy one - go to the game. Attendanre at most Wilkes sporting events is awful. Most of the people there are parents and friends. But where are the students. Come on, you can' t study all your life. Last year. many of the students did come out during the winter season and the Wilkes Gymnasium was packed for some key wrestling matches and the Wilkes- King's basketball games (both here and at King's). Using the winter teams of wrestling and men's basketball as examples. we could possibly have pep rallies before an important wrestling match <Oregon State?> or an important basketball game (vs.King's, Scranton?) How about it? Would you go for it? There would have to be a lot of work done by the student body, especially for the leaders to get to all the students and get them interested in the athletic teams. Led by SG president Dave Blumfield, who could turn out to be one of the finest presidents in history at WHkes. we could do it. So. get out to a game. cheer your fellow students on and maybe. just maybe. your contribution to the team could turn a losing season into a winnin and rofit hie e Ala---'"4 ►-------------------rl ,.____ "ONE OF THE BEST PICTURES OF THE YEAR!'

This past Saturday, the Colonels of Coach Ernesto Lopez dropped a !1-1 decision to a Division II Bloomsburg State College squad in Bloomsburg. Senior Nick Golowich had the only goal for Wilkes against the Huskies. It was the first goal allowed this year by Bloomsburg State. who earlier in the week shutout a very good Scranton University team . Having good games for the Colonels were: Warren Bush, Dave Reynolds. (;h.arlie Issacs, John Brill. Zumi. Chip Boyer. Mike Karns. Carlos Riebero, John Hart. and Bob Binegworth. This Saturday the Colonels will host Lycoming Col·lege and then meet Baptist Bible on Oct. :1 at Ralston Field. King's College is organizing a soccer team. and Lopez feels this will add greatly to local soccer interest. "When King's gets into the league, there will be a · great rivalry, and it will help the area's soccer interest and get new fans." stated Lopez. -~ · .,....._ •n ..,, • -..rt-1 f'OJI -- ,l" -..C. - ~ .. ..-os -.c , ,_,ww ......os aw.,,,..c-noui'°"•C~..., Admission: 25 cents CPA Tomo-rrow 7:00& 9:30 m �Page W, The Beacon, September 27, 1!17!1 Bad Call Leaves Wilkes 1-1 He blew it! . The official in last week's Wilkes - Lycoming football game, could have just as well been wearing a Warrior jersey, when he signaled that Lycoming had scored in the fourth quarter. If you don't know by now, Wilkes was leading _7-3 with about eight minutes left to play, and Lycoming had a fourth and goal situation from the two-yard line. They went for it, and Mike Santoleri was credited with a touchdown on a run of one and three quarters yard . Films clearly show that Santoleri was stoppoed short of the goal line 1:ii,o - GOING FOR A Shown above is junior tailback Carmen "Homer" LoPresto. who needs only 30 yards to reach the coveted 1.000-yard career mark. LoPresto. from Pittston. should reach the mark this Saturday when the Colonels (1-1) host undefeated Upsala College. <PHOTO BY GAETANO> by a ferocious Wilkes defensive line, which grew more ferocious after the TD call was made. Initially, Santoleri landed about a foot shy of the goal line and then he jumped over the line after he had already been down. In a hesitation move, which constitutes some unsureness on part of one referee, the official signaled a score. The other officials did not do anything. Those on the sidelines witnessed the other officials "just shaking their heads" after the call was made. Was it a bad call? Your damn right it was, and. it could possibly cost Wilkes a MAC title. It seems like only yesterday when an umpire blew a call in the Wilkes Elizabethtown baseball game last spring, and turn a Wilkes romp of the Blue Jays into a Colonel defeat. That loss almost cost Wilkes a MAC North-West title, but the Blue and Gold rebounded to beat E-town in a playoff. Now, back to the game. With the loss, Wilkes is now 1-1 in the MAC and will host a tough Upsala Col; lege team in a crucial MAC game this Saturday at home at 1:30. Upsala is undefeated in the MAC, and Wilkes followers must hope that the Colonels come out on top this week and Upsala can knock off Lycoming. The Colonels only score came on a three-yard run by junior Carmen LoPresto, who had 82 yards on 18 carries for the Wilkesmen. LoPresto is now only 30 yai,ds shy of the coveted 1,000 career mark and should get it Saturday in front of the home crowd. , Mike Wilson started for Wilkes and finished the day hitting on only five of 20 for 121 yards and two interceptions. Coach Rollie Schmidt went with Tom Cywinski for the Colonels last desperat~ drive and he was 1-4 with an interception. Only the shadow knows who will start at QB this week. Another possibility is Wayne "Call me Matt Robinson" Lonstein. a sophomore from New York. Soph lefty Tony Vlahovic is injured and it 's not known when he will come back. The Colonel defense on Saturday was again, as always. super. Steve Croghan played a super game ex! cept for one play, and Glenn Colvin was in on almost every play coming from the linebacker's position. Ed Mollahan also played extremely well in leading the line charge . Soph Bob Luby had two interceptions for the Colonels and is now tied for team lead in that department with senior Dave Korba. Both have three interceptions on the year. This week's game with Upsala could be the turning point in the season . The Vikings will probably be a sfight favorite in Saturday's match-up. GRID-BITS : . . . veteran Joe Gries, WBRE's play-by-play announcer who does the Wilkes football games, had a clear view of the controversial TD. and said the runner did not get in . . . two others with "birds-eye" view of the play were asst. coaches Dan Distasio and Jonah Goobc, who saw the play from the coaches booth up in the pressbox. Both almost threw the coaches phones out the window in protest of the call . .. Sean O'Dea and Paul Kotulak looked good on Saturday . . .

She went on, "Starting as many new people as we did, it will ·take time to put things together. But, we don't have time!" "We are the team to beat in our MAC division and the local league and we better be up to that challenge."

It is hoped that in the near future a rack with add1bonal copies of the bus schedules will be available in the Student Center. IDC President Mike Stapleton noted at the meeting that there will be a joint meeting of IDC and CC members on the Social and Halloween Committees this Tuesday at 12 o'clock in the CJ~. office. · Because the - Junior ciass presents "Let's Make A Deal" in the CPA at 7 o'clock with the IDCCC Halloween Party immediately following, it is hoped that students , coming to the Halloween Party will be dressed in costumes. J;)iscount ticket incentives might be given to costumed partygoers. Another major topic of discussion was that the Council is thinking of sponsoring a trip to New York the day before Thanksgiving. CC President Bill Lewis explained that the one day excursion would be ideal for some sightseeing and it would also be an inexpensive way of getting home for some of the dorm students. Darlene Schaffer Under the auspices of the Student Government, a trip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida is being planned to take place during spring break, March 1 to March 8. Trip coordinator, Joe Galli stated the reason for such a trip was the large amount of people taking vacations in Florida last year on spring break. He feels that this is a good reason to organize a college trip this year. After consulting with several travel agencies, Galli decided that Wainwright Charter Service from Bethlehem, would handle the arrangements. Plans were finalized · for the trip at a meeting with Art Hoover and Doris Barker, Student Government advisors, Bruce Bevan, a Wainwright representative, and Joe Galli, trip coordinator. . A 737 plane was chartered with a seating capacity of 120. Departure from Philadelphia is on March 1 at 4:30 p.m. The return trip from Fort Lauderdale is slated for March 8. Exact arrival time-in Philadelphia will be announced. Those exceeding the 120 capacity will be travelling on the sam~ days, but different flights. Transportation to and from Philadelphia will be provided for an extra charge of between $13 and · $15. Three plans are being offered for New Maintenance Service Begins Campus Operations students. The first plan includes airfare, lodgings three quarters of a mile from Fort Lauderdale 'at ihe -King's Crown Inn, transportation from the Florida airport, unlimited car use with four people per car for the entire trip and unlimited mileage. There will be a party with four other colleges on the " Paddleboat Queen." A two and one half hour happy hour will be provided daily during which time drinks will be $.50 apiece. Students will have access to a three floor rock bar called "Big Daddy's" and will receive a-~omplimentary t-shirt. There will not be a cover charge. The cost of this plan is $269. The second plan is similar to the first. The only difference is that the student choosing this plan will be staying at a hotel on the beach. Use of a car is not included. The other services and accomodations are the same. The price of this arrangement is also $269. The third plan includes unlimited use .of a car, hotel accomodations on the beach and the services included in plans one and two. Cost of this plan is $289. Every student will receive a brochure explaining the trip in full detail in the mail. Those who do not receive one may obtain the . brochure at the Student Government office.

The Co-Ed Housing Committee. headed by IDC Vice President Mike Sibilia, decided that its main goal would be to conduct an accurate and unbiased survey among dorm students concerning the possibility of Wilkes instituting Co-Ed dorms. The survey would also be designed to aid the Administration in making a decision. It was pointed out that the survey from last year was inconclusive, especially since relatively few filled out the questionnaire. Sibilia stated that the committee could cite the situation at the Hotel Sterling and In Pickering Hall during the summer as examples of successful programs of Co-Ed Housing on the Wilkes campus: He also felt that the policy of separating men and women in the Hotel by floors could be changed, to separation by room. IDC members representing the Hotel women, however, strongly objected to this idea. If a policy of co-ed housing were instituted, Pickering Hall would be used for this situation, with men and women separated either by floor or by wing. Other dorms would possibly be co-ed, but it is not yet certain which dorms would be used. Some members felt that This fall the Wilkes-Hahnemann ,Slocum and Denison would be ideal Cooperative Medical Education. for co-ed housing.

Beginning--this--yearthe six yearprogram has been changed to a seven year program. The present sophomore class is in a six year program. Bef<;>re, the program consisted of two -years at Wilkes, ineluding summers, followed by three years at Hahnemann and then one year at Wilkes and in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton Area Hospitals. The new program eliminates the need for summer school in the years at Wilkes. During the first three years of the program students take courses here. They include the general core· requirements, biology, chemistry, math, physics, and electives. The second three years compose the Medical Component which is spent at Hahnemann. The students take courses in biochemistry, developmental biology, physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, pathology, medical problems, human behavior, and clinical science in the first year; medicine, surgery, family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, psychiatry in the second year; and advanced basic science and clinical electives in the third year. The final year of the program is spent in family medicine track rotations at area hospitals including the Veterans Administration Medical Center, Wilkes-Barre; Nesbitt Memorial ' Hospital, Kingston; Mercy Hospital, Wilkes. Barre; Wyoming Valley Hospital, Wilkes-Barr~; __ a~~ C~1nmunity Medical Center, Scranton. Project Director Ralph B. Rozelle explained that the new program is less structured, has fewer fixed courses, and allows for a maximum of flexibility. Rozelle noted that an added feature of the program is the telecommunications network with Hahnemann. The network center is located on the second floor of the Stark Learning Center. The system links Wilkes and local hospitals with Hahnemann, and allows programs to be televised from either end of the system. · It is part of the Untied Health and Hospital Services of which Dr. Rozelle is president this year. Dr. Rozelle noted that each year approximately 140 to 150 students apply for admission to the WilkesHahnemann program. Of that number about 75 are chosen. Some students leave the program during the first .three years so that by the end of the Wlkes component, there are approximately 35 to 40 students left in the program. Through a series of interviews with the joint selection committee between twe~ty and twenty-five candidates are selected to enter the Medical School. Most of the students not selected for the medical component complete their four years here and then proceed to medical schools in pursuit of degrees in Optometry, Podiatric Medicine, or Dental Medicine. 'Rozelle added that over the last three .years over 130 students have entered doctoral granting health schools . Louis Czachor Phyllis' Beauty Salon _ 357 East South St. Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Go A·Long_W_a y. A -few weeks ago, the Women's Activites Association (cheerleaders, strutters, and majorettes) made a fund request to Stt~dent Government for money to cover the cost of their transportation to the away football games. Their original request was for $1,083 to pay for coaches from the Martz Bus Company for the four games. They were turned down and encouraged to look for cheaper transportation. · Donna Grontkowski, the vice-president of WAA, then filed a request for $410 which covered the cost of three games provided by school buses. The J uniata College game was excluded since it is a three hour triP. and the cost of that trip alone equaled the cost of the other three buses. The way the Colonels are playing football, the game with Juniata could mean a MAC title. It would be a shame not to have the girls there to support the team . Before last week's upset over Upsala (20-3) , the girls <lecorated the locker-room with posters, · signs, and balloons. Many players felt the spirit generated by the girls helped them to go on to win. • · At a time when Wilkes' school spirit is not very apparent, the football team needs all the support it deserves. . We suggest that SG should give WAA the money needed to travel to the game. We feel the cost of this -expense should come from the Athletic department but due to unknown reasons they refuse to · pay it. We know money i§ tight for SG but this is important. Please Reconsider! ! ! · More Money Needed A progress report on the fund drive for the stereo system and television in the new Student Center indicates that many people are not donating to the cause. We simply don 't understand why. The sooner the money is raised the sooner everyone will be able to reap the benefits. You, members of the Wilkes College Family, expressed your enthusiasm over the fund drive at the All-College as$embly held at the. beginning of the year. Don't back down now, Student Govenment needs your money! · We are asking everyone to respond to SG's plea foe your spare change. The collections containers are located all over campus. Come on, Donate! ! ! ! Parents'DayFullofActivities Parents' Day was held this Saturday, giving parents a chance to visit the campus and get to know their sons' and daughters' professors . The day started off quite gloomy ; it did not seem like a nice day for even a football game. During the morning hours parents registered in Stark Lobby, and _afterwards attended either the soccer game, tennis match, or stayed for a slide presentation and discussion about the campus. As the parents waited in the lobby, they mingled with faculty and administration . They were able to obtain literature concerning the college and were treated to a flower sale by Theta Delta Rho. Most parents then went to visit their sons or daughters and proceeded jointly to the Wilkes vs. Upsala football game. During halftime, they were able to see the majorettes and strutters in action performing routines specially created for Parents' Day. After the game ended at 4:45, everyone went to the " Post-Game Huddle" at the Sterling Inn Towne.

The late Senator Joseph McCarthy must have turned over in his grave upon the release of this film . Although most of us have realized that the men who sit in the Senate are far from noble, the naive and easily persuaded among us would leave this film thinking that Senators are lecherous, deceptive. rowdy and in some cases senile. The question is. how far is this from the truth? Just consider the media exposures in recent years. Since this question could be raised in the minds of the film 's viewers I find it safe to say that the film does work.

The purpose of the program is to bring public writers to the Wilkes campus where they can teach a course in creative writing. They also do public readings and provide consultation to students. ··· -This concept is supported by The Allan Hamilton Dickson Chair Of English Literature which is one of the colleges special endowments. It was established to encourage enlightened teaching, extended scholarship, and creative writing in the field of literature. The Chair Of English Literature was created by Dorothy Dickson Darte in memory of her father, Allan Hamilton Dickson. For the last two years, the National Endowment For the Arts has contributed funds to Wilkes College, in the form of grants, for the continuation of the program . The newest writer signed on by Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of the english department, is poet and short story writer Mark Halliday. Mr. Halliday is presently busy per- forming his duties as resident writer and next week we will take a closer look at the man. Last year Ms . Beatrice Hawley, a renown poet, served as resident writer. Poet Hugh Seidmen, short ...ory writer Laura Furman. and play-write Jon Lipsky were the ones who served the first three years. Each year the program alternates the types of literature offered . Plans are being made for next year to appoint a play-write and have their play produced by the schools theater department. It will probably be an unproduced play and it is hoped that the school production will promote both the play . and the playwrite. Since its inception in 1975, the Writer In Residence program has become well known within writing circles. Only in the first year did the college have to advertise for writers. Now, writers who. wish to participate send in resumes and then its a matter of finding the one most suitable for the needs of the college. Perry Lichtinger Mark Hal~lday . '.)

Page 7 WCLH Grows Stronger In Quality and Staff " WCLH is at it's highest peak . ever." says Fred Pierantoni, manager of the radio station. One of the reasons for Fred's optimism · stems from station's staff members including some new faces as well as some station veterans. Members of the staff include: Fred Pierantoni--station manager, Rich Nordheiin--Program qirector. Chris Kosakowski--Public relations. Les Nicholas--manager's assistant, Mark Thomas--news director. Rob Wallace--station engineer, Jim McCabe--music director, Bob Bushworth--assistant music director. Ed Van Buren-in charge of operations.and Garry Mack--sports director. The man who helps keep the radio station and staff operating smoothly is Dr. Brad Kinney . In reference to the staff Dr. Kinney states. "They're a good bunch of kids. they're concerned and involved. and thanks to them this year will be our best yet. ' ' These people who keep the radio station running so well are of diverse interests ; with less than half of them communications majors. Yet they all get along well and pull together for the good of WCLH . As Dr. Kinney puts it, "The staff has a genuine interest in the radio station and they all want to see it grow." With fifty members WCLH is one of the largest clubs on campus. "We also had 25 people sign up at club day." says Pierantoni. " and we had ten new members join last weeJr " Of the active members of WCL,1. about ninety per cent have a valid third class operators license. Pierantoni states that one of the station's goals is to help everyone involved to receive a license. The third class license is valid for five years and is obtained by passing an FCC exam. The staff tutors anyone who is interested in obtaining a license. This tutoring helps those intersted to know enough about the FCC rules and a radio station to pass the test. " Unfortunately," says Fred. "the nearest FCC testing facility is in Philadelphia." However, Dr. Kinney is trying to get a school bus in order to take a group of students to the testing facility for the next testing date. Kinnev feels that the license will help the students at a future time if they are interested in broadcasting. Not only are the staff members licensed but they are also well trained. Fred tries to help anyone who wants to know how to run the radio station. He believes that a well trained staff will help to keep · the quality of WCLH on a upward swing. All is not well with WCLH, however. There are several problems which the radio station is . Pictured above is WCLH deejay Ed Serafin, at wor!; in the studio. tial.

Fred and Dr. Kinney agree that another hinderance to WCLH is the public opinion that the station is a toy. 'We can't be compared to the station as it was about · two years ago." Pierantoni adds, "We are very serious about the potential of this station and we do not consider it a toy.

We went the first few weeks without any complaints and then within the last few days, our staff has had almost as many as Carter. Yes, the BEACON sports staff has come und~r fire . From almost everybody too! The coaches don't like what we write, the players don't like it and neither do some of our "dedicated" readers. Well, that's too bad! . We are trying to do the best job we can and this year we are working with a large crop of first-year reporters, who do not have that much experience, if any. Some of the teams have been complaining about the amount of coverage . they are getting. This has happened every year the BEACON sports p~ges have ever been published. You really can't please everybody. The Wilkes sports information de2artment, whi~h gets the scores in the local_papers,_ also has this problem. Some coaches m past years, have wanted their scores in The New York Times. Unreal! We're not UCLA, where the press begs at your feet for stories. Wilkes is lucky to get the coverage in the local papers that it gets. · · And again, we are getting complaints from the women. This year, they say we are.short-changing them, not giving them enough ink. Let's take a look at some facts. Last year, women's sports at Wilkes got more coverage in the BEACON; than in any other year. Did we get any thank-you's for the coverage? Are you kidding? I was told long ago and it's true, no one w\11 ever say thank-you for a good article, but when you write something they don't approve of, you'll hear from them. Then, there is the arguement of whether or not a sport is more important than another. We feel there are some that rate more <;overage than a few others. This is true in every newspaper in America. Most of us on the staff, hope to be reporters when we graduate. This is a stepping stone, we must learn from our experience on the BEACON. We try to give all the sports covera,ge. Some get mor:e t~an others and that's just the way it's going to be. Ten years -from now, 1t will be the same wa~ · In closing, all we have to say is, if you don't like what we write in the BEACON's sports pages, don't read it! BAVITZ QUIZ 1.

Page 11 LoPresto Gets 1 000th Gridders Upset Upsala 20-3; Meet Bloom Saturday on TV Upsala's stat-man said it best "What a defense!" And you can take that to the bank. The Wilkes College football team scored its biggest win since a 7-0 victory over Albright two years , ago, last Saturday downing favored Upsala 20-3 to help celebrate Parents' Day. The big story was the defense, which gets over-shadowed a lot by the publicity given to the Wilkes offense. But the "Big D" controlled the show on Saturday, completely shutting off any offense the Vikings could muster. The Colonels held Upsala.<a 20-10 winner last year) , to 39 yards passing and only 66 on the ground for a grand total offense of 105 yards. In the first three games this season, the Colonels have given up only 16 points, including only ONE touchdown, which came in the Lycoming game a few weeks back. But, then again, this is not all that new to Wilkes grid followers. For the past few seasons, Wilkes has always had a great defense, but it was the offense which failed for Coach Rollie Schmidt. This year, the offense seems to have gotten into gear led by quarterback Mike Wilson and running back Carmen LoPresto. Wilkes had four interceptions against Upsala with Dave Korba and Bob Luby each getting the•. fourth of the year. Both rank among the nation's leaders in interceptions. Korba needs only TWO more to tie the Wilkes career record for career interceptions. Linebacker Mike Patrick also had an intercepti_on as did, are you ready for this Steve Croghan. Yeah, the big senior defensive end got an interception while laying on his back after Ed Mollahan and Jim Devaney batted a pass down. There were many defensive stars on Saturday, from the • firststringers to the subs. All contributed to the cause but two stood out. Glenn Colvin, the junior linebacker, who is a strong bid for All-MAC, was in on almost every tackle, and if there wasn't a tackle he was in on, then big ~ick Krawetz, a senior lineman, was there. Krawetz played probably his greatest game as a Colonel and had the press in the presbox buzzing about his quickness. One of the special guests in Saturday's biggest crowd of the year was Bob Waskiewicz from Maryland, who is president of the Krawetz fan club. Senior Dave Korba told the BEACON that someone kiddingly told him the defense better get it's act together and stop giving up field BROOKS HAIR SALON Men's and Women's hoir styling manicures and f>erms Coll Frank or Pete for an appointment 824-2325 goals. The field goal on Saturday was set up by a Wilkes interception and most of the scoring against the Wilkes "D" thls year has come after a Colonel offensive miscue. The Wilkesmen enjoyed their finest offensive outing of the year against the Vikings, racking up 286 yards of total offense. Wilson was the leading runner, gaining 82 yards and he set up two touchdowns - one with a 41-yard pass to Rob Irwin and the other with a 40-yard scramble deep into Viking territory. Wilkes scored first in the game when with 4:-W- left in the first quarter, Wilson hit Cliff Jones with a 26-yard scoring strike to cap a five play 38-yard drive. It was the first catch of the year for Jones, who led All Wilkes receivers in yardage last season. LoPresto, who gained 57 yards on · the day rushing and went over the 1,000 yard career mark, tallied the second score on a five-yard run at 7:47 of the second quarter.

Scoring for the ladies were Diane Hall with a goal and Jerry Ann Smith contributed an assist.

Offensively, Coach Meyers was lligh with praise for freshmen Michele Weiss and Diane Hall. "These two girls have been working very hard and it is paying off as both are having fine years for us and we expect a lot from them in the future," added Meyers. "I knew the Keystone game would tell us several things. Our conditioning is not what it should be and we still need adjustments in our system to get the right people in the right spots to create a powerful. at-. tacking unit," stated the veteran mentor. The Colonelettes then traveled to Division II Lafayette College and dropped a hard-fought, heartbreaking, controversial 3-2 decision.

Using the most expensive recruiting program in the school's history, Wilkes College has increased its' freshmen class enrollment by 22 percent over last year, despite the faultering enrollment nationally. This year's recruiting schedule included recruiting students from greater distances, promotional material sent to the houses of high school graduates and a very successful Visitation Day. These implements helped to bolster ~he number of freshmen to 594 in comparison to . 479 last year. Although :Wilkes invited only those students accepted by admissions to the Visitation Day happenings, Dr. Gerald Wuori, Dean of Admissions, said, "It was a very good day." Of the students in attendance that day, 80 percent of them enrolled at the school. Even with the lack of previous statistics with which to compare this figure, Dr. Wuori stated this is an extremely good percentage. Because of the great distances many students had to travel, registration continued up until three days before classes started. With the enrollment of freshmen dorm students up over 100 percent, many problems were experienced by the housing office . Dr. Wuori stated that although there were numerous , difficulties, everything turned out all right " ... after the.smoke cleared." He added, "We will insure good coordination between the two offices in the future.!' When asked about the school's admissions procedure, Wuori said that Wilkes uses a modified version of the Rolling Admissions Policy, which allows for a greater selection of students possessing the qualities Wilkes is looking for. These qualities are discovered through the Student Descriptive Questionare (SDQ> .which a student may choose to complete during Student Achievement Test (SAT) testing. From the SDQ, Wilkes can determine how the personality, attitude, and Florida and Maine.

This expo includes displays from the Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Psychology, Math and Computer .Science, Engineering, Earth and Environmental S.cience, Nursing, and Health Science departments. A great many of the displays are student originated with faculty assistance. Dr. Turoczi stated, "The college ti'as a lot to be proud of and this show is the perfect opportunity to display the accomplishments of the students and faculty." · Dr. Turoczi has extended an open invitation to high school juniors and seniors in Luzerne and Lackawanna County public and private schools. He feels this is a good opportunity for these students to meet Wilkes students and faculty, and to see ·displays, exhibits, demonstrations and "hands on" experiences. He continued that a show such as this one helps supplement the guidance given in high schools, especially to students who are not exactly sure what areas science encompasses and what career opportunities are available to them in these fields.

This production will be the first of fou r college productions planned for the upcoming school year. "Caesar and Cleopatra " also marks this years first joint theater production between Kings and Wilkes. Like last year's joint effort, "Three Sisters", this production will offer the two schools a chance to showcase the talents of their students and staff. The play is being directed by Gerry Godwin from King's College. Godwin is an actor himself as well as a directo,. He has directed some shows at Kings, including last years "A Flea in Her Ear". Whell asked why he chose "Caesar and Cleopatra" this year he says he chose ii because of Shaw's reputation, the fact that it is one of his more popular works, and because he likes the play. · Godwin likes working in the Wilkes theater, which is one of the better college theaters around. It is his wish to do this production in such a way as to do justice to Shaw's play. The scenic designer for the production is Klaus Holm . Mr. Holm has a list of credentials including many Broadway shows and a number of road shows. He has been with the Wilkes theater since 1970 and has designed most of the shows. His job for this show is to design a set which will give the audience a feeling of old Egypt. The man who is responsible for supervising the set building is Brother Jim frem King's College. He and his crew will make Mr. Holm's designs a reality. Each piece of the stage setting must be built as sturdy as possible so the·actors can move about on it without fear of it-collapsing. Brother J im is also designing the lighting for the production. Crews for running and building the show have been chosen from both King's and Wilkes. Building for the show started about three to four weeks ago. Most of the building is being done in the evenings and on weekends. The crews are functioning well together and as such the work on the sets is progressing rapidly and smoothly. The play itself is very intense at points. It has little basis · in historical fact. Playing the title roles will be Karen Shonk of King's as Cleopatra, and Paul Kerrigan from Wilkes as Caesar. These two students head a very strong cast. The performances of the play will be; Thursday, Oct. 1_8 a special high school showing at 7:30 pm ; Friday Oct. 19 and Saturday Oct. 20 at 8:00 pm; and Sunday Oct. 21 a 2:00 matinee performance. Each Wilkes student is allowed two free tickets. There will be a •one dollar charge for each additional ticket. The production has been given a great deal of time and effort under the super vision of some very qualified people. .It promises to fulfill its main function of entertainment.

October 12. 1!17!1 What Happened? ~ I Vant Your ·Blood The All-College picnic held this past Saturday at Ralston Field was a nice gesture on the part of the administration to compensate for the free day the students lost in this semester. There is, however, ·much student discontent concerning the way the picnic turned out.In the first place, no beer was allowed. This is fine. but several faculty members who did attend brought and consumed their own beer Secondly, there was the problem of who was supposed to organize the party. The administration initiated the idea and paid the costs ·but did little planning. It was left for the students to organize.and at short notice. There was no band, no pep rally, and the only activity that followed through turned out to be a free-for-all instead of a pie-eating contest. It has also been reported that the cost of the picnic came to about $2,000. Since dinner in the cafeteria for dorm students was cancelled in order that they attend the picnic, there should have been very few costs if any. It was already included in their room and board. We are not all ungratefl!l and we do appreciate the intentions behind it. This picnic turned out to be a prime example of a lack of communication and organization. · Letters to the editor are welcomed from all interested parties.

Like Rosanne Rosana Danna says, this is a hot issue, I was an active member to work on this committee. I found many drawbacks with the picnic. The excitement at the picnic was something to be desired. The pie eating (or· throwingl contest was the highlight of the day. The administration sponsored the event instead of a free day. If the students had · a say in the matter, they'd , choose the free day. The publicity and organization was not up to par. Maybe one percent of the commuters showed ... where was publicity for them? The attendance was amazingly small, by students, faculty, and administration. The administration put up almost $2,000 for the event (food). Why was all that money used when the majority of the food was already paid for by the dormies? The picnic only served the purpose to make dorm students walk over to Ralston Field for dinner!!!!!! The administration and faculty didn't do· anything for the picnic. The students ran the whole affair. ff it wasn't for the students, the picnic would have never gotten off the ground. Why didn't the Deans allow alcohol to be served to the students, when the faculty was openly consuming large amounts of beer? The Constitution plainly states no alcohol will be served at Ralston Field, unless the Council of Deans approves it. Many other factors point to the elimination of All-College Picnics in place of a free-day. An All-College Picnic can be very suecessful if it benefits the students and not the Administration. Just watch for Homecoming's Field Day and my point will be understood.

Although we feel that our version was a little more tasteful, we appreciate your concern for the beautification of our dorm . We're sure that the many hours of hard work · and talent provided by the men of Grissom House doesn't compare to the unique job that you did in the few minutes that you had to perform your task. We would just like you to know that you really did not do anything to destroy our unity. In fact, without knowing it, you brought us closer together as a dorm by unifying us in common cause. We may have lost a day of study and--or a chance to relax but, you'll be happy to know that the dorm is once again clean--only faintly exhibiting the scars of your artistic hand. There is one difference, though, it's not something that you will find on our walls or on our bulletin board, it is however, written in each one of us as we stand as one and say: THANK YOU FROM THE MEN OF GRISSOM HOUSE �October 12, 1!179.

Mike feels that it is not unusual for him not to be a senior, " it just means that they (Dave Blumfield and Bill Lewis ) get out a year earlier than I do." Another unsual fact is that for a second year in a row the candidate for IDC president has run unopposed. Mike feels that it could be a lack of interest but he really isn't sure why more people don't enter the race. When asked how he felt running unopposed Mike replied, "It takes all the fun out of it when there is no competition and it makes you wonder why no one else wanted to run."

We explained how the program works and a little about its history. Now we will take a closer look at the writer, poet and short story writer Mark Halliday. Mr. Halliday was born Feb:-- 28, 1949, in Ann Arbor. Michigan. He received his first degree from Brown University in 1971, in Human Studies, an interdisciplinary program including literature, philosophy, and psychobiography. IN 1976, Mark earned a MA from Brown in Creative Writing. Currently he has one year of work towards a Ph.D. in English at Brandeis University. His work experience va.,ries from being a copy-boy for Time Magazine to a waiter in France to being a high school English teacher and teacher of disturbed children. He also spent several summers as a tennis instructor. The list of his publications is extensive. He has been published in such magazines as "The New Yorker," "The North American Review, " and "American · Heritage. " Over seventy poems of his have been printed in more than fifty periodicals. He has also done two full-length plays and more than sixty book reviews. Mark also has four as-yetunpublished novels and two booklength collections of poetry. He has additional editorial and theater experience as well. At Brown he served as co-editor of Hellcoal Press for two years. and also had roles in ten student theatrical productions. He · cofounded and acted in the Rhode Island Feminist Theater. and starred in a play which was presented at Lincoln Center in New York in 1974. Mr. Halliday was also chief editor of the Providence Review, a literary monthly he and two of his colleagues founded. Mark is on campus on Mondays and Tuesdays when he teaches a .creative writing class. He lives in the Boston area and commutes to campus. Dr. Kaska, chairman of the Language and Literature department, is very pleased to have Mark as writer-in-residence. He is a young writer on his way up, and ifis hoped that both he and the college will benefit from the expecience. Perry Lichtinger There you are standing in the cold winter night watching your friend rolling in pain after slipping on the ice. Your adrenaline soars, you start to panic wondering what to do. Questions flash through your mind. What if something is broken? Should he be moved? Where can I get help? The questions concerning the injury should be answered by a doctor, but the question of wher~ to get help can be answered right on campus. Since 1974, the Emergency Alert Team has been in operation. It provides quick emergency treatment and transportation to anyone on campus twenty-four hours a day. According to Mark Chichak, captain of the team, almost every night they are needed. "We ·have seven squads that cover the campus on a rotating basis. The team is most needed during the night when other services are closed. " There are about forty members on the team and the majority of them are trained in either basic first aid or emergency medical training. The team is outfitted with the basic. emergency equipment. '~ New Beginning'' Slated as Theme For 1979-1980Amnicola Edition The 1979-80 yearbook staff has a rather unique situation this year. Abrand new decade is being-ushered in and they would like to do it justice. Mary Giblin, Editor-in-Chief, looks at it this way, "We have a lot of new members ort the staff this year and they are all eager to work towards making this year's yearbook one of the best." She also adds, " We want to break the old traditional mold of past years. We will be trying to make this book look different yet exciting.'' The theme of this year's book will be, " A New Beginning," representing the start of the '80's. Chris Riel- ly and other art students will be designing the cover of the book. As part of their new approach, the yearbook will be offering kegs to the dorm and club that submits the most original group pictures. Joining Mary Giblin on the yearbook staff are: Lisa Ashbaugh, special assistant to the editor-inchief; Ilene Tinkleman, assistant editor; Bob Gaetano, photography editor ; and Maggie Bunnell, business manager. ·-one area that leaves · the Amnicola staff less than satisfied is the lack of commuter students working on the book. " We have about fifteen people working for us at the mo- 'ment," Giblin comments, "but we are still looking for more. It would be nice if some commuters would help out." Last year's yearbook should be in shortly. The price will be $13.00 a copy. Those people who have ordered one will be able to pick it up Tuesday and Thursday between the ·hours of 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Five hundred books were ordered from the Taylor Publishing Company and it is hoped that all of them . will be sold. In the past years this has not been so.

PagP i M.B .A. - A Popular Choice Chapter Of COPUS Among Graduate Student Started On Cam.pus Why are recent college graduates. bankers. engineers. and accountants all coming back to college? It's not always because they love studying and going to class. No. the real reason most of them are back are because of the advantages a graduate degree can offer them . On particular field of graduate study. the Masters of Business Administration (M.B.A.l is a popular choice of incoming graduate students. The commercial and financial areas are offering increased opportunities not only to Bachelor degree holders but also to those who have received their Masters . In 1978. the largest number of masters degrees awarded at Wilkes were in Business Ad-. ministration, almost twlce the number of any other graduate program here at the school. According to DI'. Howard Williams. acting chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department. the effort one puts into studying on the graduate level will soon pay off. As Dr. Williams pointed out, "Not only are opportunities greater for the M.B.A.. but starting salaries are generally $3.000 to $4,000 higher. Usually. the M.B.A. will also be placed immediately into the middle management of the company." According to the magazine. MBA Executive. " more jobs were offered to 1978 M.B.A. graduates in accounting 07.6 per cent) . commercial banking ( 14 .2 per cent) and electronic data processing (9.7 per centl than in any other fields ." The highest starting salaries. however. were those in the management consulting field. receiving $23.000 a year. The lowest starting salary in 1978, with an M.B.A.. was in the accounting field at $17,000. Overall. according to this same report 75 per cent of _all M.B.A. graduates started at salaries of $17,200 or more. The Masters of Business Administration program at Wilkes is designed to give concentrated study in the entire business field while allowing the graduate student to specialize in one of four course areas. To first enter the program you must have the following prere- JERRY-KELLY . quisite courses: 1 year of accounting. l semester of business law, l year of economic principles. l semester of statistics. l semester of managerial finance. 1 semester of money and banking and fl semester of marketing. After completing the required prerequisites, the graduate student must complete 30 credit hours. These 30 hours are . broken into 15 hours of core requirements and 15 hours in a specialization, which can be either Marketing, Managerial Science. · Labor, Accounting or Finance. The student can pick one or two specializations. In the core requirements of fifteen hours, the student must take three courses, Management Science. Managerial Statistics and Managerial Economics. The remaining six credits in the core consist of two courses the student chooses from four possibilities. The student can ·pick from Managerial Accounting, Labor - Management Economics, Business and Society and Management Information, and a computer science course. The remaining 15 credits are made up of courses in the four specialization areas. A new program being proposed is the five-year M.B.A. degree. In this program the student, during the undergraduate years, can major in any field , but would take his electives in the business curriculum . Thus. by the time he receives his bachelor's degree he would have all the prerequisites completed for his M.B.A . He could then complete his graduate degree in the next year. Another option which is available to the graduate s(udent is the Graduate Assistant Program. The graduate assistant is employed at Wilkes while · completing his degree. He works either in areas of economics. accounting, or business administration , helping the professors by supervising laboratory periods, proctoring tests or by doing research related to his field . Another opti0n which is available is being a dormitory counselor to . undergraduates. In both of these programs. the graduate student receives salary which may include a tuition or housing waiver. The prospective graduate student must consider are whether he wants to receive both undergradyate and graduate degrees from the same school. He must also consider whether on-thejob experience is important before entering an M.B.A. program . The M.B.A. degree is definitely worth considering, no matter what a student 's undergraduate major. The benefits of higher entry level positions and better starting salaries are obvious. Prospective M.B.A.'s. however. must also consider that many personal demands may be placed on them in the future. Those wishing more information can contact the Director · of Graduate Studies, John F. Meyers, or any member of the Commerce and Finance faculty.

About two years ago Wilkes replaced the old computer with a new one. Since the installation of this new equipment, the computer center has increased in usefulness and effeciency. As of last semester there were a few problems with the computer such as slow response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes the computer to respond to the operator. Dave Williams, head of the computer Commission; who share the computer's time as well . . Over the past year there has been a heavy increase in the number of people using the computer facilities. The adm inistration is now using the computer for more functio·ns than in the past. This is also true of the student population, who seem to have taken a greater interest in it. Much of this is due to the relatively new computer science major offered at Wilkes and the addition of computer science to the core requirements of many ma- courses. He believes that many students have become interested in knowing the basics of computers due to the fact that we all have to deal with computers in our daily lives ; for example, phone bills, college records, etc. This interest in computers could stem from a realization that they are important in today's society and they are here to stay. The high response to the computer science major at Wilkes can . be-attributed to the fact that Wilkes people have first priority on the computer. This explains why many students from other colleges are transferring to the Wilkes program. According to Dr. Wong, the faculty and students use the computer on a first-come-first -serve basis. This does not mean that the terminals are not crowded at times. During the early afternoon the computer is at peak usuage. " We find that some students come in early in the morning to use the computer when they have it almost to themselves," Dr. Wong states. The college is doing everything to make the computer more easily accessible to everyone at Wilkes. Three new terminals have been added to the second floor of Stark. The computer field at Wilkes is · still experiencing a small amount of growing pains however. The equipment is good .and the interest in the field is increasing. Therefore, it seems that Wilkes has a good start toward a solid computer science major, while at the same time it is offering excellent computer facilities to help the college function efficiently.

Insti-tutions Con-tribute 125 Mil. To Area Receives $1,000; .SG Body Grants . Largest Request Granting the largest fUJld request presented so far this year, the Ice Hockey Club received $1,000 from Student .Government at Monday night's meeting. The motion passed with 11 in favor, 5opposed, and 3 abstentions. The money received will In! used to pay for the ice item of the club's 18 game schedule this coming winter. Bill Manly, representing the Hockey Club, stated that the working budget is $1,650. The remaining $650 will be paid for through fund-raisers and by the club members. Dave Blumfield, SG president, pointed out that the club's account will be strictly monitored. In the past they have gone into debt. There was also a question as to who is the faculty advisor to the club and how to correctly spell his name. It was quickly cleared up and Dr. John Orehotsky of the Engineering Department was cited as the advisor. This request equaled 10 percent of SG's remaining funds to be distributed. It should also be noted that the motion passed with very little questioning from SG members. Under committee reports, Ana Nunez gave the wrap up report for the Homecoming Weekend, stating that everything went well. Blumfield thanked Nunez and the entire SG body offered a round of applause for her work. It was announced that Mark Swartz and Bobbie Hamilton have been appointed this year's chairpersons for the Cherry Blossom Festival which takes place in the early spring. Blumfield stated that this year's festival will be conducted on a much larger scale as compared to last year's. · Jim Edwards BEDF'OHO HALL - Hosting the first LEGAL two half keg parties in over a year. Bedford If all's party will be closely watched. Bedford Hall Receives O.K. For Private Two Keg Party The first two half-keg party will take place on Saturday, October 20 in Bedford Hall. This will be the first party of its kind under the present party policy, which allows for one quarter kegs for a party in the dorms. Art Hoover, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, pointed out, "They've applied and gone through the right channels." Mike Sibilia, R.A. at Bed- Co-op Day Scheduled To receive college credit, students do not necessarily have to .sit in a classroom. Tom Sally, Class of 79, for instance, worked for Owens-Illinois as a chemist. Not only did he attain experience in his major, but he also got a weekly paycheck. Any studerit interested in similar opportunities through the Cooperative Education Program should attain Co-op day, on October 25, at 11 :00 in SLC 101. Robert Koester, director of Cooperative Educatio•n, has arranged for a number of employer:; to attend, including the Tandy Corporation and the Mental Health Retardation Center. Company representatives will be an asset to students in many ways. They can advise a Communications major where to concentrate his studies in order to get the best job openings, expose the student to a possible post-graduation employer, and tell the student about their Co-op program with Wilkes. To discuss the program in depth, the co-op staff will make themselves available to answer any questions about the program. Mr. Koester will tell students how they can take advantage of this opportunity, since many students are not sure how to get involved. The benefits, once involved, range from letters of recommendation to the co+op student or offering him or her a job after graduation. This happened enough to make co-op a success for many students. The first step, though, starts October 25. Dave Stahl ford, explained that he went to see Dean Hoover to check if the party could be scheduled for October 5. Due to a conflict with the College Picnic on that date, Hoover advised that the party be scheduled for a different date. The next available weekend October 20th was chosen. Sibilia noted that Hoover acted as a go-between with the Deans' Council and the Student Governments Social Committee. The Deans' Council meets on Mondays and the Social committee meets on Fridays at 3:00 p.m. Sibilia commented, "Dean Hoover is receptive to anybody coming in for special permission. He tries to do everything in his power to help them .'' The purpose of the party is to unite the dorm for some activity among its members. Each of the 27 members is allowed one guest under the policy. This allows for a maximum of 54 people. Sibilia conclu'.ied, " If everything works out, then this is a good sign for the new alcohol policy.''

A study done by the Economic Development Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania for 1979 .has revealed that the total impact of the 16 institutions in Northeastern Pennsylvania is $125,297,000 per year. Basing their study on expenditures for Fiscal Year 1976-77, the council estimates that of the total figure,$53,000,000 comes from administrators, faculty and staff. In addition, $37,000,000 come from the institutions themselves. If all 16 schools were to close, $86,000,000 would be lost to this area. The 16 institutions located in the region had a total enrollment of 24,034 undergraduates and 2,459 graduate students for the 1978 fall semester. These colleges and universities . employ a total of 3,373 employees and pay out $46,137,000 annually in salaries and benefits. Some of the 16 institutions involved in a study include four Penn State campuses, University of Scranton, ICS Center for Degree Studies, Johnson School of Technology and Wilkes College. Through the $8.5 million budget of Wilkes College, the Wilkes-Barre community recieves more than $6,000,000 annually. Included in this figure is $490,000 spent by students and another $145,000 campus visitors deposit to local businesses. It is extimated that ten percent of the salaries in the area come from Wilkes. Employees of the college are paid $3,750,000 while another $125,000 is used to purchase materials locally each year. During the past twelve years, $12,600,000 has been spent for new construction on campus. The total direct impact of the 16 schools is $27,892,000 including savings accounts, utility costs, wages and benefits. The annual impact of administrators alone is $3,890,000 with the most money spent on housing and food. The impact of faculty and staff totals $23,119,000 with housing and food consuming most of the expenditures .. Donor Day Today Give !! 10:00 to 4:00 The total direct impact of the undergraduate students on the economy of Northeastern . Pennsylvania is extimated to be $31,922,000 with another $7,697,000 from graduate . students. Northeastern Pennsylvania would suffer economically as well as culturally and socially if these 16 schools were non-existent. i>eterSteve Pliskin Awarded Fifth Place In Competition -This past · weekend the college debate union, coached by Dr. Bradford Kinney, began its 31st season at the First Annual Henry Rutgers Individual Events Tournament, sponsored by Rutgers .University. Upper classman, Jon Pliskin, received fifth place in epideictic discourse competition, which is a speech of praise or blame. Pliskin scored a perfect 100 points in one of the rounds of competition. Wilkes competed against 15 other colleges and universities ; such as Princeton University and Old Dominion College. The Pliskin victory adds to the winning record of the debate union which began in September of 1976. Since then, the debate union has won a major victory at 34 consecutive tournaments attended. At this point, the debate union has a winning record unsurpassed by any other organization on campus. The next tournament will be held at George Mason University, in Fairfax, Virginia. Any undergraduate interested in joining the organization should contact Dr. Bradford Kinney, Kirby Hall, room 206, or visit the debate union workroom Kirby 303.

Hoover re-emphasized that applications for Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges are still available in the Dean's Office.

Hoover also noted that students wishing to purchase material by using a organizational check must make a request 24 hours ahead of time for the check. purchased after the flood in 1972, and are now six or seven years old, which may be a cause of the great number ot breakdowns. Housing Director Paul Adams stated that the washers and dryers are used heavily since the students do not have to pay to use them as they had in the past. The Co-Ed Housing Committee reported that a committee meeting had been held Wednesday night, October 10. The survey conducted by the Administration for the Middlestates Evaluation was discussed at the meeting. A majority of the students surveyed indicated that they favor the institution of Co-Ed Housing at Wilkes. Equal numbers of men and women were represented in this survey, and roughly an equal percentage of dorms and commuter students were surveyed. Mike Sibilia, chairman of the committee, stated that the main function of the committee at this point is to get the students' response to the possibility of co-ed housing. The committee will also try to obtain information from other schools that already have a policy of co-ed housing. This information would indicate how these schools instituted such a policy, and how the students feel about the situation.

After all, most abandoned warehouses are dank and dingy places only spiders could love ! But there is one warehouse in WilkesBarre which attracts more than cobwebs and dust. This is none other than Mickey Finn's Warehouse located at 100 North Pennsylvania Boulevard, WilkesBarre. It is the center of much night-time activity for numerous Wilkes students. When seen from the outside, Mickey Finn's is not really very impressive ; it possesses the characteristics of a typical warehouse. Upon entering the twolevel structure, though , one is immediately struck by its warmth and vitality. On busy weekend nights, people mill about, talking and drinking, while waitresses and waiters weave through them to serve their customers. The atmosphere of the Warehouse is quite unique . The first level, with its hardwood floor, is usually teeming with people. Small tables and roomy booths dot the area, providing places in which to relax. A large sit-down bar oc- cupies part of the first floor along with a smaller stand-up bar. Winding a path to the rear of the building, one fi nds pinball machines just waiting for some action. The L-shaped second floor, which can be reached by a front staircase or by an intricataely winding back stairwell, is much more spacious and. open than is the ground floor . Here are many small tables and another bar. Overlooking the first floor, one has an interesting view of the crowd below. Decorating the . walls · of both floors are prints of Coca-Cola advertisements and old movie and travel posters. The brick walls and exposed pipes which are painted bright red, are reminiscent of the structure's former warehouse days contributing to the charm of Mickey Finn's. The relaxed environment of the Warehouse is per fect for conversation with no pounding disco beat or blinding strobes to accost one's senses. However, music lovers, there is a jukebox which constantly plays both rock and disco favorites. While enjoying the company of friends, one can quench one's thirst with beer, a mixed drink or soda.

The trial will commence at 7: 00.

Actors have been chosen to portray the victim and defendant, and a jury panel will be selected from the audience. The trial .will consist of direct and crossexaminations of the victim and defendant, summation to the jury by the prosecuting and defending attorneys, and charging of the jury by Judge Olszewski. A poll of thejury will then be taken and a verdict will be reached. Judge Olszewski, District Attorney Chester B. Muroski, and Public Defender Michael Cefalo will then make brief presentations to those in attendance concerning their foelings on the trial. Following the trial, an informal gathering will be held, and refreshments will be served. Admission is free of charge. As W.O.A.R. is in great need of additional volunteers to work with victims, attend legal proceedings, make presentations to local clubs and organizations, and help with the general functions of the organization, it is hoped that this trial will generate enough interest and concern to prompt more members of the community to come forward and donate a few hours a month to this worthy cause. The general public is invited to attend. Anyone desiring additional information concerning the trial or volunteer information, may call the W.O.A.R. Office at 823-0765. LIVE RO CK 'N RO LL spirits.

Karen Krischunis SG Coffee-House Presents Bacon This Saturday Michael Bacon has performed with Linda Ronstadt, James · Taylor, Loggins and Messina, and Fleetwood Mac and will be playing to a Wilkes College audience this Saturday evening in a coffee-house setting. Bacon feels that he is essentially a songwritt!r but is trying to be more. He studies music theory and composition at the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts. "I love music . There's no better way of putting it. It dominates me, it destroys me, and has even delivered a few moments of ecstasy," Bacon explains. Michaellecon The perfomance will include easy listening music, varying from love songs to comical parodies about bicycle racing. The artist accompanies himself on six-string acoustic guitar with some first rate technique occassionally flashed . Born in Philadelphia, Bacon has played to audiences at the Troubador, L.A.; Bitter End, N.Y.; Main Point, Phila.; Lenny's, Boston ; and Red Creek, N.Y. The coffee-house is being sponsored by Student Government and will be held in Church Hall (the old SUB) Saturday, Oct. 20th beginning at 9:00.

Student organizations were asked to participate by way of making floats. When the subject was first brought up there was supposed to be three prizes awarded, however at the game only a first prize was announced. Who did the first place go to? Naturally, the Engineering Club! Granted, this entrant was excellent but not on the competition level or the other entrants. Every other entrant in the parade spent a lot or hard work and many hours trying to put together a float that would show the student's enthusiasm in the project. Most students knew going into the parade that the Engineering Club would win but still came out in full .force to demonstrate there dedication . My question is, what happened to the second and third place promised by the Alumni Association? I acknowledge that the Engineering Club had an excellent float but feel that the rest of the floats were o :er looked. and should not have been judged on the same level. Signed, A Frustrated Float Maker. Event! · · This year's Homecoming Weekend was a success. A lot of hard work. dedication. innovation. time and effort was apparent and it certainly paid off. Congratulations are in order for Dr. Richard Rees , Alumni Relations Director; Ana Nunez, Student Government Homecoming Chairperson ; and their committess for a fine job. It was the most impressive Homecoming in recent years. Thursday night's bonfire ran into a few problems because the sound and lighting systems were not working properly. Also not all the fall sports were present. The highlight of the pep rally was the naming of the Homecoming Queen and Court. It was the first time in many years that only a selected few knew who had actually been elected. (The BEACON-staff didn't even.know ! l Friday's dinner dance was a huge success. The excitement then rolled into Saturday morning with the first Wilkes College Homecoming Parade. It was the frosting on the cake .. . three high school bands. five floats, the Homecoming Queen and court, and our own Majorettes, Strutters, and Cheerleaders. Who could ask ror anything more? The rest or the weekend ran smoothly with perfect weather always present. This Homecoming left the Alumni feeling very satisfied and the seniors strongly considering the five year plan.

Ana Nunez Homecoming Chairperson Radio Announcer Tells The Story To The Editor: After the recent Beacon article about WCLH, I think it's about time someone tells it like it is. WCLH is ·nota healthy station. The only thing healthy about It is the personnel. However, you need equipment to run a radio station. We have it, sort or. Our equipment has been patched, re-patched, re-re-patched, etc. Now it is barely alive. During the · past few weeks, WCLH has been off _the air more than on. Why? The equipment •is pooped out. All efforts to go before the administration for help have railed. The administration seemingly just does not care. Is this any way to treat an orgc1niza- tion which won a sleuth of awards this past year, including best college news station in Northeastern Pennsylvania? I should think not.

It was also announced in almost every communications and speech course of- ~ fered this semester. Unfortunately, despite all this publicity, obviously many people did not think it worth their time to . attend the lecture. This is not only students, but faculty and administration as well. I realize that this weekend was Homecoming, and the presentation coincided with the parade, but this is still no ex cuse for the poor turnout or faculty and administration. Furthermore, the seminar was sponsored by the Language and Literature Department in conjunction with the communications branch, according the Oct. 12th issue of the BEACON. It is very sad, that for sponsoring the event, only 4 faculty members from the department attended. What happened English faculty ? What " discouraged" you from attending the lecture? If this is any indication of tfie sup.port you are going to give the . new Communications Studies major, you can be sure a program with academic and student drawing potential will die a sure and painful death; at the e)!:pense of the students. Is this what you want? Face it, if this program dies, so does your department, since over half of the English majors are in communications. Also, administration, where were you? Mr. Cunningham had no one there to welcome him to Wilkes College. That was a shame. Surely, not all of the administration was needed at the Homecoming festivities . Even so, a five minute visit would not have delayed the parade any longer that it was alr:eady. All I have to say is that I am truly embarrassed for the college. We should be proud to have such notable speakers come to our campus. It was a very worthwhile lecture. Let's not let this happen ever again!!!!! To those who didn't attend, you missed an absolutely fascinating lecture, and to those who did attend- you were wonderful! ! ! ! ! Sincerely, · A Disgusted Communications Student ., ��Page 6.

Rea,iea, Eagles - The Long Run The Eagles, with the release of their new album have taken a giant step backwards in time. The Eagles latest effort reminds me of earlier efforts, especially their "On the Border," LP which produced the singles "Already Gone," "James Dean," and "The.Best of My Love ." The album is not at all like their phenomenally successful "Hotel California." This album is the ''true Eagles ;" a country-rock band famous for searing guitars and Jong, lush ballads. ·- While " Hotel California" was pop styled with an emphasis on the classic " California sound," which is laid back, the new album almost ·- attacks the listener. Although all the cuts appeal to me, three are truly outstanding. My favorite is "In the City." It is a song written by Joe Walsh, taken from the soundtrack of the movie "The Warriors." It features excellent slide guitar work along with some very good production. It probably would be a bit hit if released. "Teenage Jail " is a slow moving, high intensity song, which features some excellent guitar work by Don Felder. Another interesting cut is "The Disco Strangler." pon Henley' s vocals on the song seem to be almost apart from the rest of it. But somehow it all fits together to add a very original touch to the album . . The Eagles include some .of the top talent _in music . Their music tlaough seemingly simple, is a rich blend of country and rock. This alt,um could be their .best effort to date, although sales may be hampered by the non-commercial style. George Saba Last spring, Dave Blumfield-was elected Student Government president by the Wilkes College student body. Since then, Dave, afong with the Student Council, has been busy formulating a · student activities budget and initiating social programs at Wilkes. Dave, a senior biology major from Deer Park, N.Y., has been an active member of SG since his sophomore year, and has served as co-chairperson of publicity and elections committees. He explains his interest in SG, "Joining Student Government was a way for me to become involved in a college activity that . did not conflict with my biology lab schedule. I have always been interested in politics, and since my goal is to become a surgeon, I realized that college offered the last opportunity to become involved with policymaking." The student leader appears confident that his year at the helm of SG will be fruitful, despite any obstacles he is sure to encounter. _ Dave comments, " I am an optimist. I expect total involvement, which I am now starting to realize is impossible. I have a tendancy to lose my temper when my plans become frustrated, but overall this year has been pretty good." Some of the frustrating situations that Dave has encountered are party policy and the possibility of hosting a concert on campus. " I find the fact that we cannot hold a quality concert on campus to be vepr frustrating . We simply do not have the money or the facilities . Also, at this moment, any debate concerning the party policy is at a standstill. We had hoped to revise the policy to make it more appliciable to social functions. ' ' Another project that concerns Dave is the completion of the Student Center. Completion is expected by the end of this semester, but Dave adds that contributions for the finishing touches are not as much as he hoped. Dave and SG have also tasted the fruits of success. Among the more successful ventures were the trip to HersheyPark and the " All College Assembly." According to Dave, " It was · unfortunate that only 300 students took advantage of a really great day. I felt that the trip was a good start on the year. Hopefully, it will become a big event in the years to come. " Dave notes that he was very pleased with the turnout at the "All College Assembly" . One of Dave's first actions as student leader was to intiate college assemblies on a bisemester basis. "I feel that assemblies are a definite need at Wilkes. Students must be informed about what is happening in their school. Posters just do not do the job. Students benefit because they get a chance to express their ideas and opinions. " As President of Student Government, Dave feels_ that his major challenge is to change the negitive attitude that most students seem to have about SG . "I believe that this poor attitude is a result of past presidencies in general. I feel that SG can change this attitude if we get involved with the majority of students as much as possible and show everyone that SG can do the job." "I have been active with SG for three years and I can truly say that this year has been the best. We are working at a better pace than last year and seem to have more initiative and cooperation. The administration as a whole has been good to work with and they are doing their best for the student body." Along with his major role in Student Government, Dave is currently busy working on an independent research project in genetics. "Although I find my job with SG fun and challenging, I find the solitude of my lab very relaxing.'' Cindy Ercolani . Dale Blumfield It costs no more to buy from the finest ... Moa,ie llea,·ieui Tlael Considering the recent passing of Columbus Day and The Festival of San Genaro, it is only fitting this review should deal with an Italian film,. Luchino Visconti's The Innocent. It is true that the movie will never play in the Vatican, as it falls in a classification void somewhere between "PG" and soft core porn, but its billing as an "erotic classic" is more flash than fact. Much of the movies eroticism comes from its star Giancarlo Giannini. Mr. Giannini is his usual carnal self as he protrays a wealthy Italian Count. The role is far from his zealous portrayal of a convicted mafioso buttonman who ends up a prisoner of war in Lina Wertmuller's Seven Beauties.Giannini was at his best in Seven Beauties and he is far from superficial in The Innocent.Visconti capitalizes on Giannini's "screen eyes" in the ~t same manner Lina Wertmuller has. The Countessa is played by Jen~ nifer O'Neill, who compliments the· talents of Giannini as well as exhibiting her own. The Countessa is regarded soley as a sex object by the Count (who epitomizes Italian Machissmo). Eventually the Countessa realizes she no longer wants to be manipulated, so she · engages in some manipulation of the Count. As the film draws to a close the Countessa is the most ethical (moral) of all the film 's characters. .The_ film raises questions involving sin and punishment, and the recognition of sin-itself. It is not far removed from Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. The Countessa i~. almost an aristocratic Hester Prynne (or Prynnzini if you like). The Count, in his action, is directly that's why opposite to Dimmsdale, but his resolution is similar to Dimmsdale's. The film varies the "love triangle" in that both the count and the Countessa create their own geometric figures whose merger causes the films conflict. . Originally subtitles were used to translate the Italian to English, but to increase the film's appeal to a lazy American audience, lip synchronization of English was dubbed in. Unfortunat- · ly words are heard without moving lips and vice-versa. The film would have been enjoyable if the translation was done with literal subtitles. So, if you are tired of most of the trash in the American cinema, or you just want to see a superior film, take a trip to the Forty Fort Theater to see The Innocent.

The play, " When You Comin' Back Red Ryder? " will be theater faculty member Jay Siegfried's first production on the Wilkes campus. It is a modern play set in the late 1960's. Siegfried feels taht the play is a drama rather than a tragedy. " When You Comin' Back Red Ryder?" was written in 1974 looking back on the 60's. It is the winner of the Obie Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award. It asks the question, " Where have all the American Heroes gone?" Siegfried continues, '·' This particular play is challenging for the audience as well as for the actors." Tryouts for the play will be held October 22 and 23 at 7 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. There are five men and three women characters · needed for the production. Audition material will be provided.

October Ill, 197!1, The Beacon. Pagf' !I ~ I~ i women's field hockey team coached Gay Meyers. The Colonelettes came up with two big victories 3-1 over Lycoming and 5-0 over Marywood. The win over Lycoming sets up a title game TODAY at 4 here at Wilkes against Susquehanna. THE BEACON hopes many of the Wilkes fans will be there today to help cheer our ladies on to their second straight MAC northern Division crown. In the Lycoming match, sophomore Ellie Adams came alive and scored her first three goals of the season and her Wilkes career. Coach Meyers was doubly excited about Ellie's performance because she plays left-inner, and all previous scoring has come from the right side. Adding assists in the game were Michele Weiss, and the co-captains Jerry Ann Smith and Mary Jo Frail. Wilkes' overall MAC slate is 3-0-1 but more importantly, their northern division record is 1-01. The weather played an important part in the contest as cold and rain hampered both teams' attacks. Helen Gorgas and Linda Dayer had super defensive games for Wilkes as they thwarted Lyco's offensive setup. After the big win on Tuesday, the Colonelettes returned home Thursday and completely "swarmed" over a strong Marywood team 5-0. Scoring goals for the Colonelettes were : Diane Hall with two ; and Ellie Adams, Jerry Ann Smith and I Helen Gorgas with one each. Assists were recorded by Smith, Adams, Frail and Pam Snyder. The win raised their NPWIAA slate to 10-1. The ladies were scheduled to meet Misericordia on Tuesday. If they won, it sets up another title match with the University of Scranton. Wilkes scored early and often in the first half going into the lockerroom at the half leading 3-0. In the second period, Meyers substituted SLCJOJ 1:00 & 9:30 p.m. Admission 25 cent. iill Gary Mack SPORTSWRITERS Anyone interested in being a spertswriter for the BEACON, is asked to call this .paper's off1ee at extension 473. .t _t=1 . .·. . . .. . . .. .

After a dismal 0-6 start, the Wilkes College soccer team recorded its first victory against Juniata 3-1 last Wednesday afternoon at Ralston Field. Although Wilkes did not score against the Indians until late in the first half, it was clear from the outset that the Colonels were the better team .

Not to be outdone, Tony Kantor scored for Wilkes only one minute later and Coach Ernesto Lopez's team had a 2-0 advantage. Kantor is only a freshman but shows the skills and knowledge of the game and plays like a seasoned senior. He'll be one of the star performers for Wilkes in the next four years. Wilkes and Juniata both traded goals in a defensive-minded second half. Dung Chi Duong (Zumi) had the other goal for the Blue and Gold. Three days later for Homecoming tl}e Colonels entertained nationally ranked University of Scranton, hoping for their second victory of the year. This was not to be, however, as the nation's number nine team romped over Wilkes scoring a 6-0 shutout. "Duh U" showed its versatility as five different Royals scored goals. The game was very s~range in respect to when the Royals scored. They completely dominated the game for the first 20 minutes of the first half but were unable to score. · The last portion of the first half was when Wilkes started penetrating the Royal defense. Wilkes, however, could not score on the day while the Royals used lapses in the Wilkes "D" for their scores. Injuries were once again a major problem for Wilkes on Saturday as Jay Rosenblum and Scott Leveure were both forced out of action a(ter suffering leg injuries. Goalie Dave Reynolds was not up to 100 per cent as he was sitll feeling the affects of a knee injury. The absence of Irv Pyung and Tony Kantor were also contributing factors in the Wilkes loss.

StuGitomer �Ever For The Wilkes College cross country team was assured of its best season ever by sweeping both meets last week. On Wednesday the Colonels.' ran over Al bright 18-45 and on Saturday dumped Mansfield State 23-34. Against Albright, Ken Pascoe and Dan Thomas tied for top honors with identical times of 27:57. Frank Mirecki of Albright took third at 28:07. Wilkes then took the next five places in this order : Ed Eppler , 28:54, Lou Mucciolo 28 :57, Ed Cunningham 29: 19, Don Patrick 29 :58, and John Supinski 30 :40. Rounding out the Wilkes finishers were a drastically improving Ken Waters, Roger Davis, Kevin Cavanagh, Dave Kreiger, and Marie Eiswert. Gonna Swim Now! Last week we mentioned that two young men - Bob Greenwald a·nd Bob Lewis - have been appointed by the Wilkes athletic department to head the men's/somen's swimming program this winter 79-80 season. First of all, it again shows that the bosses upstairs are going after young, enthusiastic coaches to fill holes. First, we had Joe Super, and then came Ron Righter, Steve Justice, Na ncy Roberts, Kurt Hagman, E rnest Lopez, and even now the athletic depa rtment is looking for a latrosse coach for the spring - bet your house they get a young coach. On the dark side of all this is that the coaches don't possess that much experience, but we feel they make up for that deficit w~th enth usiasm and positive feeling. Of all the young coaches, the toughest job belongs to Greenwald and Lewis. They have to reubild a program which has drastically gone down hill recently . The only bright spot in those years was the Middle Atlantic Conference diving domi nance of Cindy Glawe. Both greenwald, who will ser ve as head coac h, and Lewis, who will run the divi ng program, feel they have to create interest in the sport. " We hope to get a lot of people out for the team. This wa y we can ·work with a large group and find out our potential," said Greenwald, a recent graduate of the Unviersity of Pittsburgh. The swim unit does have its stars returning from last season led by captian Jim Edwards, a senior from Ridgefield, Ct. , and Michele Maguire, a sophomore from Wileks-Barre. Perry Lichtinger, a diver who had a good year last season, is undecided about returning to the team or going out for wresUing. Last season, the team under the guidance of Coach F. Charles Petrillo, had all .odds against them. When you have to practice in the late hours of the evening and then swim your home meets at another pool - King's - it makes it rough on the mental part of the team's preparation. But this season, it will b·e different. Greenwald said the team will continue to practice and swim their meets at the King's pool on North Main Street but the unit will have decent practice hours, including some in the morning. The coaches also said they will install weight-training/flexibility programs for the swimmers to help this season. Before going to Pitt, Greenwald was an outstanding swimmer at Wyoming Semionary and holds many records at that swimming power school. While at Pitt, he was a member of the school's swim team and was on the Eastern Champion relay team that qualified for the NCAA Championships for four years. Lewis, cqrrently a grad student here, graduated from Lycoming College in 1979 and was a member of the Warriors swim tea m as a diver. A member of the Wyoming Seminary. swim club in high school, Lewis also played four years of soccer at Lycoming. Greenwald said he hopes to give Wilkes a "good reputation_" in swimming by starting a winning tradition. We wis h hi m luck! Another thing that concerns us this week is the new sports editor of the King's College newspaper - The Crown. In his first column (probably the first thing he's ever written) he attacked a local paper about a story which appeared over the summer announcing that four Wilkes College baseba ll players were named to the All-MAC t~am along with one form King's. lie criticized the paper for putting only the pictures of the Wilkes players in there and just their stats while at the end mentioning that Pogo Miller from King's also made the team. He thought it was bad press to favor Wilkes. If that "scribe" had checked his fac ts, he would have foun d out tha t the story in that paper was not written by a member of its sports staff. but was in fact a release fro m the Wilkes College sports information depart ment with photos and all. The release was fro m the Wilkes office and natu rally highlighted the Wilkes athletes who won the honors. In essence, the release did not ha ve to mention at all who else was", the all-star tea m, but the office did single out Miller for notice. It's a credit to the sports infor mation office at Wilkes to help out Miller and get his name in the paper. It's a bad move on the part of the Crown's sports editor to criticize before he learned the facts. Let's hope he will get his act together before he makes any more mistakes. •••••••••H•••••••••••••••••••••• On Saturday the thinclads were without their coach Ron Righter, but they were not wi thout their running ability. Larry P rintz of Mansfield State set the pace with a time of 32 :20. But once again the Colonel depth proved to be the factor. Ken Pascoe took second at 33 :03, Danny Thomas third at 33:22 and the " darkhorse" Lou Mucciolo fourth at 33: 42. Other Wilkes finishers were E d Eppler 6th, Ed Cunningham 8th, John Supinski 9th, Don Patrick, Roger Davis, and Kevin Cavanagh . The Wilkes harriers, now 9-2, were to meet Susquehanna on Tuesday and then take on Baptist Bible for the season's final meet on Saturday. After this the Colonels will take a two-week break to prepare for the MAC's on November 3. Rich Nordheim One of the sports a ctivities during last week's Homecoming celebration was ·the first Alumni Homecoming Run which covered 5.3 miles. Four individual awards were given out : Dave Martin captured the Alumni Master's award for over 40 runners ; John R ice of the class of 1974 took the Alum ni award ; Bob Heam an garnered top facul ty finisher award and P at Salley, J r., won for the best time of a student and was the overall winner .

Coach Rollie Schmidt's crew dominated the game with the winless Devils from beginning to end. This week,.the Wilkesmen will get a tough test with Albright College on the road in Reading for a key MAC battle. Wilkes needs a win to keep pace with unbeaten Lycoming in the league race. The Wa rriors of Lycoming had an easy game Saturday, downing Juniata 21-0 for their sixth straight victory. This week's Wilkes \ !bright game will be broatlcast ve by WBRE radio. "'1'wo years go, Wilkes upset the Lions 7-0 in leading. Tom Cywinski started at QB for Wilkes on Saturday in place of the injured Mike Wilson. And it really did not matter. Schmidt threw the forward pass out of the playbook for the game, as the Colonels attempted only THREE passes. Cywinski was one-for-one and lefty Tony Vlahovic was orie-for-two . Scott Davenport also saw action at the signal-calling position and _Cliff Jones ( remember him? ) had both receptions for 22 yards. But the offensive story on Saturday concerned the tailback position which had 52 carries for 365 yards on the day. ~haring the yardage were LoPresto and Rick Chapman, who played every other down while bringing in the plays. Final stats showed LoPresto with 25 carries and a school record 210 yards while Chapman chipped in with 155 yards on 27 carries. Holy Cow ! That's more rushing yardage than we used lo get in a season ! LoPrtesto's yardage broke the old record for 172 yards rushing in one game held jointly by Paul Purta (1966 ) and Ted Yeager ( 1971 ). Homer also tallied four touchdowns · on Saturday on runs of four, three, 39 and 13 yards.

According to Mike Sibilia, resident assistant of Bedford, the party "went over well" . No damage to the dorm or any fights had occurred. No tickets were sold for the party as dorm members collected money to pay for the kegs from their guests. The party generally broke up about 2:00 :i '!1..

Farber and Evans installed in their room . SG President tJriticizes . The Negative Attitudes Student Government President Dave Blumfield spoke out against the negative attitudes that students have on the Wilkes campus. "Most people speak out without knowing the facts," Blumfield explained. " It is Student Government's job is to tell the students the facts about this campus." He went on to say that SG must make a greater effort to inform the student body al)out the campus and keep them updated to any changes which occur in it. This speak out against negative attitudes came about as a result of recent comments concerning the new Student Center. "The stud,ents complain that not enough people can attend the parties at the center,"Blumfield continued, "they don't seem to realize that the party limit has been increased to fifty people over last year's SUB parties." Blumfield believes that SG should set them straight and give them the facts . Despite minor projection problems the film "Magic " was deemed a success by the SG film committee. The film was a near so:?llout for two showing last Friday. The social committee proposed two possible themes for this year's Winter Weekend. The first theme would center around the winter Olympic games. Under this theme groups of students would represent different countries and compete in different events. The second theme deals with a beach party in the gym . The particulars for this theme have not been set so far . · The SG coffee house- featuring Michael Bacon went well although SG thought attendance was sparse. About 73 people showed up for the event and it was rep9rted that all seemed · to enjoy themselves. Slocum Hall donated $50 to the new Student Center fund. Blumfield applauded their generosity and expressed hope that other Wilkes students would take such an interest in the center. Blumfield ended the meeting with !)residential comments and a reminder that the Triorganizational meeting will be Nov. 4th. Bill Turcan John Houseman has been a towering figure for nearly half, a century in many aspects of the media and will be visting the Wilkes Campus Sunday, October 28th. He will be appearing under the auspices of the Concert and Lecture Series. Houseman, who portrayed the serious Professor Kingsfield in · the CBS series ''The Paper Chase," will give a lecture at 8 p.m . .at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. Houseman, who is 77 years of age, started his "chase" about 47 years ago, when in 1931, he decided to dedicate himself to writing for the theater exclusively. His first success came just three years later, not as writer but as a director for the Stein-Thomson opera " Four Saints in Three Acts." From then on he was an absolute success in everything that he attempted. Houseman co-founded "Mercury Theater of the Air," with Orson Welles on the radio. The two combined their talents to produce a story c;alled "War of the Worlds," a dramatization of a Martian invasion of the Atlantic Coast near New Jersey. This dramatic presentation sent the entire nation into a p'anic that lasted days. Also during this Three Yr. Alpha Campaign Quickly Approaching Goal With the three year. "Alpha" Campaign heading into its final stages, Dr. Thomas Kelley, Dean of External Affairs, is pleased to announce that 2.1 of the 2.4 million dollar goal has been reached.

At 3:UU a.m. Monday the women were awakened by the smell of something burning.· They called Maintenance and Security, but ne.ither service determined what was burning. The dorm was believed safe, so the girls were allowed to stay. On Monday morning, people from the Housing Office investigated. A battery was removed which is believed to have caused the smell. Monday night Luann Ashbaugh was taken to Nesbitt Memorial ·toward motion pictures in 1941 and he was hired as Vice-President of David 0 . Selznick Productions. In this capacity, . he worked with Alfred Hitchcock on the script of "The Saboteur," directed Ingrid Bergman in "Anna Christie," and was producer director for tbe world premiere of Soroyan's" Hell Out There." Houseman produced 18 feature films for Paramount, Universal, and M-G-M studios between 1945 and 1962. He then turned his attention towards television and received three Emmy _Awards in 1957, 1958, and 1959. The versatile man taught at Vassar, Barnard and the Universi• ty of Missouri in Kansas City.

In the final analysis, criteria by which topics are, chosen to be presented on the news are based on what the journalist knows; his knowledge of what has happened, and what is going to happen. Mostly, that which affects the most people in a given area, something that deviates from the status quo, and an event which may be part of a trend or the beginning of a trend, constitutes news, states Martin. "Sometimes the media create news," believes Martin, " because the mere presence of the cameras and reporters can alter the story ; people tend · to perform for cameras." He adde<: that the journalist must take extra precautions to prevent being used by any party trying to advance their own interests. With the increase in technology and electronic media, Martin feels there will be a forced confrontation sometime in the near future. He continues, "The media will never get away from the reporter, with a pencil in hand, question in mind, and well-rounded background." The best kind of education an aspiring journalist can strive for is a broad liberal arts one.

CC President Bill Lewis noted that six positions are open on the Council for the Freshman class and presently there are seven nominees trying to fill those positions. Lewis stated that several of the candiates were nominated even though they were absent during the actual nomination. Lewis quickly pointed out that these particular candidates had legitimate excuses for not beinl! present during the nomination.

Bruce Williams, Food Committee Chairman, reported that a major complaint was that many dorm students feel they should be given a refund for all the meals they do ,not eat in the cafeteria since they have paid for twenty meals a week in their room and board payment. According to William Denion, Supervisor of Food Services at Wilkes, the amount that students pay for eating in the cafeteria is approximat'!ly 75 percent of the actual cost of the meals since it is estimated that about 25 percent of the meals paid for are not eaten. Denion feels that the 20 meal plan in effect now is better tfian any alternative plans which could be used. Other possible plans include a ~ .

English, Grammar, Literature, Spelling, Political Science, History, Economics, and Philosophy are essential for a reporter. Also, real work experience on the college newsijaper, radio station or any other related activity is time well spent, says Martin. • . " Competition in the field after graduation is brutal, " he states. There are limited opportunities in broadcast journalism. Right now in the United States, there are only 4000 television journalists, working on 400 local television stations with news shows. Every year, there are 4000 graduates looking for jobs. The best preparation is a broadly based education and as much practical experience as possible, explains Keith Martin. The best advice he feels he can give to anyone wishing to get in the field of journalism is, "Learn everything about everything that you can, use the written and spoken language concisely, and be prepared to travel anywhere to ac- · cept any job in the general field to get a start." The other communications that will be offered next summer are Communications 101, Principl~s of Communication; Communications 212, Editing and Advanced News Writing; Communications 202, Group Discussion; -Communications 240, Introduction to Broadcasting; and possibly Communications 398, a Topics course in Feature Writing.

Many people feel too much attention was drawn to it by this paper but the party was a first and will have a definite effect on whether more parties of this kind will be held in the future . Presently, parties are restricted to the new Student Center. The dorms can sponsor smaller parties with no more than a quarter keg of beer and 15 people involved. We know there are numerous violations to this policy that go unnoticed but when the violators do get caught the book is thrown at them. , The men of Bedford Hall wanted to sponsor a party that would inVQlve everyone in the dorm and not just have another Student Center party. They wanted to sponsor a party in the dorm. By going through the proper channels they received permission from the Dean's Council. This was the first legal party in a dorm in over a year and a half. It was held in a constructive manner with many people having a good time. No damage was done to the dorm and no unfortunate in-· cidents occurred. Overall, it was a good party. - We were disappointed to hear that the Inter-Dormitory Council didn't even mention the party's success, let alone the party itself, at this Sunday's meetiAg. If they are trying to revise the party policy to meet the students' needs they should have paid close attention to this party. It should go down in the records as being successful in order that other dorms be able to share the same opportunity. We commend Jim Deyaney and Mike Sibilia, the resident assistants, and all the men of Bedford, for not letting the party get out of hand which it easily could have. Parties of this kind need people to assume responsibility. An adequate party policy revision would be one that allows and encourages parties like this one. Restrictions will be necessary so that we don't degenerate to tne stage where damage to the dorm occurs. Responsibility will have to be assumed by all students if this is to work, but Bedf6rd's party is a good example of just that. Say Cheese The Theater department produced "Caesar and Cleopatra" this past weekend and with much success. Though some people said the play was too long, most enjoyed it a great deal. One of our staff members attended the play and wrote~ reviewt We originally planned to have a picture accompany the review but our photographer was told that he was not allowed to take any pictures during the performanc~. In the past pictures have been taken during performances but without the use of a flash for extra lighting. That rule has been obeyed. This is not Broadway folks and all we wanted to do was to click the camera a couple of times (without a flash) to get a few pictures.

The play itself is a comic dramatization of the meeting of Caesar and Cleopatra and their subsequent relationship amidst the barbaric warring between the Romans and the Egyptians. I don't think either school could have put on this play by itself and done it as well. One reason for this is the increased cast size. Director J . Gerald Godwin did an excellant job of casting the characters and the flow of the plot was carried well by all who appeared. Another area of excellance in the production was the set design. Wilkes is very lucky to h,we the services for reknown Klaus Holm, his · ability for designinf theatrical scenery is well known. As far as the acting is concerned both the Wilkes and King's actors did a very fine job. Paul Kerrigan from Wilkes starred as Caesar with Karen Shonk from King's playing the lead role as Cleopatra. Other Wilkes actors appearing in the play were; Adele 'Pavella, · Chris Lonstrup, Paul Kanner, Lori Pritchard, Tricia Lupi, Tara Buckingham, Paul Torre, Bill Stusnick, Curt Shrawder, George Heid, and I Gary Baranker.

Here Bill says, "We should all be concerned with the quality of the social and educational environment at Wilkes."

''Let's Make A Deal·'' To Open Jr. Weekend Is everyone ready to " Make a Deal"? Well, the Junior class is and they're opening their weekend with the game show "Let's Make a Deal". This particular game show was decided upon because no other organization has previously attempted it. The show will begin at 8:00 p.m. in the CPA. The sh_ow is complete with prizes, "Monty Hall", alias Marla Brodsky; "Jay," Paul Kanner; and even a Carol Merril. The prizes that will be given away through the course of the evening were collected by class officers and members of the executive council from local businesses. They include a set of Corning Ware and a blanket donated by Susquehanna Savings; two serving bowls,one crystal and one milk glass given by Jewelcor; four passes for a free pizza each from The Pizza Hut; anJ, of course there will definitely be those all important "zonk" prizes. Susan Matley, member of the executive council, was in charge of collecting the prizes for the class's first try with a game show. John Moffatt, also a member of the executive council, is taking care of the theater and set design for the show. "One of the ,main .reasons that we decided on the "Let's Make a Deal" theme was that the CC~IDC Halloween Party will follow," Colleen Gries, Class of 1981 President states. Colleen hopes that the game show will inspire most students to dress up and possibly win a prize at one of the two events. Originally a Sadie Hawkins dance was planned for Saturday in the gym but because no bands were available and it was felt that two parties in the gym on one weekend were too much, a Student Center Party will be held instead of the gym party. Norm Witko, class vice-president, comments, "It wIII give the class an opportunity to use their coupons ti. :t were in the last newsletter and also come attired in their class T-shirts which will be available this week." A bingo was also scheduled for Sunday afternoon but due to Johrt Houseman's open discussion with students the plans were cancelled. Margaret Scholl To Begin Season Touring Schools The Wilkes College Percussion Ensemble will soon begin another season on the road. The group, which has hetween nine and eleven members this year tours various SChools bo th in and out of the immediate area each year. The students at th e schools are introduced to percussion as well as Wilk~!!llege. . The memhers of the ensemble consist of at least two percussion majors. The reSt of the members are moS tl Y piano or voice majors. Several members of laSt year's ensemble graduated, so this is a rebuilding year. Mr. Rosend0 Santos, of the Music Department presently is training a newensemblefor th isyear. The group should be ready by the middle of next month and then it will begin going around to the schools. Santos noted that requests have been received for the enS(!mble from ·as far away as NewYorkandNewJersey. Instruments used by the group include_a set of drums, cowbells, maraccas, marimbas, xylophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, timpani, and bass guitar. While it is not a percussion instrument, an alto saxophone is used to play a solo for the song "E'vergreen". Santos arranges all the music for the percussion ensemble. The music ranges from the serious to the popular. Santos explains, "We play show tunes, popular hit songs, hit parade songs, and whatever is number one. I ask the kids what they want to pay and that is what we do.'' Louis Czachor GETTING READY - Pictured above is Dr. Les Turoczi. expo coordinator, at work in one of Wilkes' science labs. The fourth annual Science Expo which will be held on Saturday. October 27, will include student displays from the Chemistry to the Health Science departments. ' Dr. Turoczi feels the Expo will help supplement the guidance gh·en in high schools because il will better explain the scie11ces to those students interested in a career in these various fields. The Expo will start with an ushered tour of Stark Lea:-ning Center in the morning and will end with the students visiting the various displays in the afternoon. Anyone having questions or comments can contact Dr. Les Turoczi at the Biology Department or at extension 31-1 for further information. ,r,:::,~:;:;!:f;: ~!: ;:; ":"-:"'."'.'~:':':'-:-:":"."'."."".~~~~----~---_-_-_-_-_:_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-____...J_ Wh!!~J~!~ax 2 . .

Some of the new followers of the Colonels. probably did not notice. but the veteran rooters - the Pawlenoks. the Schmidts. Art Hoover. George Pawlush they all noticed. The Wilkes College band, al ways a strong supporting unit on the road with the Wilkes footballers, was not in attendance. And it wasn't their fault. It seems Albright contacted Wilkes and told our officials that being that last week's game was Homecoming, there would be no time for a performance by the Wilkes majorettes. strutters and cheerleaders. accompanied by the band during halftime. Some sources said Albright told the band there would be no room for them. In fact, there was no room for a halftime show by Wilkes as Albright's halftime activities went over the limit and held up the second half by some ten minutes. Was a penalty called for delay of game on the home team's part? No, but that's another problem! But the stands on the Wilkes side were not full and there was more than enough room for the band and probably the entire Wilkes freshman class for that matter. So, you might say, what's so important about the band not being at the game. The band has grown as a unit which strongly supports Wilkes football through think and thin - they were always there. Playing the fight song or yelling at the Wilkes cheerleaders - the band gave its support, and for the first time in a long time, the band was not at a Wilkes fooJball game. Art Hoover said he was surprised about the annoucement from Albright, and said head coach Rollie Schmidt was upset when told the band was not coming down to the game. "l told Rollie and you could see he felt a little hurt. I think everybody was. The band means a lot to us rooters on the road ." Offensive line coach ·Joe Moran said only a few minutes before the game on Saturday, "where's the band?" He too, was upset over the band not being at the game. Is it a conspiracy? Hell no! But you've got to believe old Will Renken had , something to do with it at Albright. Renken has long been the one for causing problems throughout the MAC as the Lions AD and basketball coach . Ask Rodger Bearde or Ed Donohue, they'll tell you some stories. Despite the absence of the band. the Colonels still won-28-li over Albright. but it just wasn't the same. ••••••H••••••••....••••••••H••·•••c••j Our congratulations go out to Wilkes football offensive end Rob Irwin of War• minster, Pa., who recently received an award for working with Big Brothers in the Wyoming Valley.

Saturday and passed with flying colors as the Colonels downed Middle Atlantic Conference rival Albright College 28-17 in a crucial league game in Reading. The Wilkes offense was again in high gear throughout the game, despite missing for the second straight week the services of number one quarterback Mike Wilson. Wilson's playing status is on a day-to-day thing but he should be ready when Wilkes plays its next game a week Saturday at Juniata. That game will be very important to Wilkes as they remain on the heels of front-running Lycoming College in the MAC race. While Wilkes enjoys a week oTf this Saturday, Lyco must face a tough Upsala squad at Upsala this week. Dean Art Hoover is organizing a trip to Juniata for the game and anyone interested in going is asked to call him or come to his office on the second floor of Weckesser Hall. The Wilkes College offensive line played super on Saturday opening up holes for the Colonel backs. Credit Joe Moran and his " getting better all the time" line. Carmen LoPresto and Rick Chapman, last week's heros and Wilkes' answer to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, again were the main offensive threats on Saturday. Lo Presto, who is ranked second in the MAC in rushing and first in scoring, led the way with 136 yards on 28 carries. Chapman, showing the form that make him an all-star at Wyoming Seminary, had 81 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns - one a 41yard scamper. Wilkes had another rushing touchdo}Vll - one-yard bolt by fullback Paul Kotulak, who owns a 4.5 yards a carry average. Wilkes other score came on a beautiful 40-yard scoring strike from sophomore Tom Cywinski to Bob Rushworth. Cywinski sailed the ball some 45 yards in the air and Rushworth, made a great over the shoulder catch for the score. Vini,:e Savoca, a Bill Bergey looka-like, made his Colonel debut in place-kicking replacing Tony Tavella who was having some problems and Savoca responded with a four-for-four in the· extra point department. Go get 'em big guy! Another standout on Saturday was sophomore defensive safety Bob Luby, who notched his eighth interception of the year, breaking the school record held by Jay Holliday, who had 7 way back in 1968. Luby had an outstanding day Saturday making tackle after tackle and playing a fine overall defensive game. The Wilkes College line and linebacking crew again had a fine day, stopping the Albright offense, which consisted of a difficult wishbone set-up. The Lions scores came on a 67yard run by Brian Constantine, who broke away from the line and outraced everybody to the goal line and a one-yard sneak by the Dave Hadley, Mike Azure, Tony Vlahovic, J oe Knox, Shown are the members of the 1979 football team : Albright quarterback.

A·ccreditation Team . SG Reports Qf Theft ·To Arrive Sunday And Evaluate College In Student Center At the Student Government meetil).g on Monday, SG President Dave Blumfield expressed concern about the break-in that occured at the Student Center sometime last Friday night. Blumfield explained that the thief tried to gain entry by chiseling the hinges on the ·metal doors. "You can see where hunks of metal are missing (from the hinges )", noted Blumfield. " There was a mishap by the ma,intenance men," continues Blumfield, "the deadbolts were not thrown on the doors that night" . As a result the thief probably had no trouble forcing the doors open by pulling on them . Once in the building, they proceeded to the second floor where they broke into three pinball machines and took over $300 contained in them . Blumfield pointed out that an attempt was also made to get money from a change machine, but that attempt was unsuccessful. The break-in was not discovered until 12:00 the next day, when the doors to the Student Center were found open. The police were called, and they feel that they " got some good fingerprints," said Blumfield. The SG president thinks that the thieves were probably students. The three pinball machines that were broken into were "Space Invaders," "Flash," and "Bowling Game." "If anyone hears a rumor or has a sneaking suspicion on who did it, please let me know," added Blumfield, "I want that building wired and I'm not going to have anymore equipment put in until there is proper security in the building.' ' Blumfield · comments, " I'd really like to get this guy or the people who did it, because the building is beautiful and there are a lot of things that can be done"''with it." A request for a loan of $150 by Cue . and Curtain to be used for the casino night was approved by a vote of 24-0-0. The loan is to be paid back when the final tally is taken. The Sociology club was granted $246 to pay for A Sociology Society Conference in Philadelphia for ten students this weekend. The vote was 14-10-0. A request by WCLH for $60 to pay for transportation for 15 students to Philadelphia to take FCC tests for their broadcasting licenses was tabled until next week. Dean Hoover is looking into the possibility of letting WCLH use one of the college vans for the trip . Next week SG will vote on a request by WCLH fo r a loan of $650 for a "Stones Show" concert on November 16. Also, a request has been received by Scott Weiner of the Racquetball Club for $215 to pay for each members' use of the racquetball courts.

Louis Czachor Capi:p Returns After Illness After approximately a week of absence due to severe chest pains, President Robert S. Capin has returned to the normal activities of his administrative office. President Capin was admitted to the hospital last week when he complained of pain~ near his heart. Testing done during the week revealed no signs of heart complications and thus resulted in his release. . After a brief period of convalescence at home, Capin is , reportedly to be in good health and is feeling fine, according to Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs. Preseqtly, the only concern the doctors have for President Capin's health is the possible blockage of arteries. In an attempt to get another opinion on the matter, Capin has gone to Boston earlier in the week to consl!lt another ·physician before undergoing further testing. Peter Steve From November 4 to November 7, the Committee of Higher Educalion of Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools will be on campus to re-evaluate Wilkes College, after nearly a year and a half of preparation by the school. Chaired by Dr. Robert Ackerman, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts of Drew University, the reevaluation committee will arrive at Wilkes on Sunday, November 4. After settling in at the Hotel Ster!ing, the committee will have dinner - with President Robert S. Capin and his staff then they will conclude their evening with a committee meeting in the Sterling Conference Room . On Monday morning, the committee will meet in the board room of Weckesser Hall, which has been designated as the committee's office during their stay. During this meeting, the committee will decide upon the individual assignments for the evaluation period. In the room will be available various files, maps, publications etc. for each member's use. At one o'clock, Dr. Ackerman will meet with President Capin and various members of the Wilkes' Board of · Trustees for lunch, with a Steering Committee meeting rounding off Monday's agendaat2 :00p.m . Dr. Ackerman has requested that all faculty and administrative personnel be present in their offices from 9 cf.m . to 5 p.m . on Monday and Tuesday unless they have classes. This is for the convenience of the committee members who may wish to speak with the various people. Dr. Ackerman also mentioned that the committee would in- terview anyone who requests it, but the topics discussed in these interviews should be in connection with the re-evaluation process. Topics other than this should be discussed with the proper college officals. During their stay, the reevaluation committee will meet not only with faculty and administrators but with students as well. Student meetings will be done casually throughtout the campus. No classes being interrupted for this purpose, however. Dr. Gerald Hartdgen, Dean of Academic Affairs, stated the committee stressed that they want to disrupt the campus as little as possible during their stay. . Commenting on the chances of reaccreditation, Dean Hartdgen said confidently, "Given Wilkes' strengths, I see no danger of not being re-accredited. I'd be very disappointed if we didn't get it. " Hartdgen went on to say that it really isn't a matter of being reaccredited but rather a matter reacting to the Committee's recomendations. The Wilkes Dean viewed the re-evaluation group as a type of " constructive criticism" upon which an institution can build. Last fall, a special group of facul- . ty, administration and students were divided into six committees : Steering; Goals, Outcome and Program; Students and Student Life; Teaching; Faculty and Governance; and Organizational Resources and Finance. These committees were recommended in guide-lines which the re-evaluation group presented to Wilkes earlier that year. Each committee prepared in- Malfunction in Transformer Caused Fumes In Catlin Hall Within the last two months emergency lighting systems were installed in five buildings on campus including Kirby Hall, Weiss Hall, Chase Hall and McClintock Hall . The transformer in the lighting system in one of those buildings, Catlin Hall, shortcircuited in the early morning hours of Monday, October 15. The varnish coating on the transformer melted causing foul smelling fumes to be given off. As a result of inhalation of these fumes three co-eds spent that Monday night in the Infirmary, another was admitted to Nesbitt Mem.orial Hospital in Kingston, and the remainder of the dorm 's residents spent the night in Sterlin_g Hall. Charles Abate, Business · Manager explained that the malfunction in the transformer was caused by an intermittent short. and that if it had fully shorted out. the circuit breaker would have trip- ped. He continued by saying that the varnish coating on the transformer melted and that that is what probably caused the fumes. He stressed that the fumes were "nothing toxic whatsoever." Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management, confirmed this by saying that the fumes "did not cause any health hazard except discomfort. " Abate added that there was no evidence of anything burning. He noted that similar mechanisms have been in several other buildings on campus for many years. . Shaw expained that representatives from the York Light Company of Philadelphia were in town on Tuesday, October 23 to check out the system. Shaw stressed, "There is no need for any kind of alarm ." He added that the emergency lighting systems were installed to conform with the Panic and Safety Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania . Those laws require fire rated doors, enclosed stairwells, emergency lighting, etc . Abate reasoned that Luann Ashbaugh, a resident of Catlin Hall had been taken to the hospital as a "precautionary measure because she said she wasn't feeling well. " Ashbaugh noted that the fumes smelled bad and " kind of made us high ." She :tsserted that the doctors at the hospital had concluded that she did not have enough oxygen in her bloodstream. Also, they · attributed the cause of the low oxygen level to breathing in too many fumes . Ida Rigley college nurse, noted that the girls had headaches and they indicated that they did not feel well. Mrs. Rigley said the doctors informed her that they could not determine what the fumes were on the basis of the tests they performed on the girls. Louis Czachor terim reports that were summerized into one document by·Dr. Robert Kelly and Alfred Groh for submisson to the Middle States Association. During this process, the biggest problem was summarizing all the reports which, in the end totalled about 300 pages. Each group wanted to make sure all of the important fa~ts were contained in their summary. After a stern request for a summarized report by the Middle States Association, Groh completed the difficult task. While explaining Wilkes' financial position in connection with the re-evaluation process, Dean Hartdagen interjected, " In my judgement, the most important aspect of a college not being re-accredited is a poor financial situation." When colleges are refused accreditation, the circumstances surrounding the decision must be very deep and 7 out of 10 times, the problem is usually financially oriented. Dean Hartdgen added proudly that, "Wilkes is in a sound financial situation," and that this problem . should not concern the campus community. Besides Dr. Ackerman, the reevaluation committee is comprised of Sister Mary Berchmans Coyle, Associate Dean of Continuing Education at Pace University, Reverend Richard J . Devine, Vice President for Student Affairs at St. John's University, Rhoda G. Freeman. Associate Professor of History at Upsala College. Bernard L. Greenberg. Director of Admissions and Records at Gallaudet College, Leonard E . Spiegel. Chairman of Biology Department at Monmouth ·college and Phillip B. · Schaeffer. Vice President for Business Affairs and Treasurer at Western Maryland College. Wilkes received a biographical sketch of each member with the authority to veto any person who might be biased towards the school. On this committee, Wilkes did veto one member with no objection from the Middle States Association who strives for absolute fairness . On Wednesday, November 7, President Capin and his staff will meet with the re-evaluation committee in a debriefing session concerning the committees results. In this conclusive meeting, factual errors in the study will be corrected with the expeded confirmation of re-accrediation being made known publicly for the first time.

The fourth annual Science Expo was held on Saturday, October 27, featuring displays from the Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, Math and Computer Science, Engineering, Earth and En• 1 vironmental Science, Nursing and Health Science departments. Dr. Les Turoczi, Expo coor· dinator stated the event was a ma· jor success with over 175 visitors from as far away as central New Jersey, Bradford County, Binghamton and Delaware Water Gap. He continued that he was very impressed with the quality of the visiting students. They were prepared to ask intelligent and pro· bing questions of the faculty and student workers. This year also, some student visitors were accompanied by their parents, a somewhat new addition. One parent commented that he has visited similar events at other col· leges· and the Wilkes Expo was superior to any of the others he has seen. Another parent stated that it was refreshing to see students have access to sophisticated equipment, such as that used at the Expo. He continued that at other colleges, it seems only the faculty operate the equipment. "It's nice to see faculty members who have faith in the students, " he said. The day's agenda included a guided tour of Stark Learning Center in the morning hours. This gave each visitor a chance to -view all of the science departments at one time. In the afternoon, students were allowed to visit the exhibits or department of their choice. Dr. Turoczi stated, " Each department had at least one excellent and several very good exhibits.'' He concluded, " I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated; students who ushered or helped prepare the displays for exhibition and faculty who devoted time to the expo from their busy work schedules. Hopefully, this tradition of success can be carried on in future years." Patti Sparlow FOUND Two coats have been found. One is a blazer and the other is a red nylon jacket.

His definition of success in the theater or in any other endeavor is to look back and realize that you've had a lot of fun . "The Paper Chase" will be brought back on public television according to Houseman but he most probably will not be doing another weekly television series. Why? "The offer would have to be extremely attractive and it is also a tremendous amount · of work," stated Houseman. He is still making movies, commercials and just finished a movie for television en· titled, "Gideon's Trumpet." The movie will be out in March and deals with a man's right to legal counsel. "The movie is about an ac· tual case that was brought before the Supreme Court and I play the chief justice," explains Houseman. "When I am approached about a role, I look for how absurd the script is, what I can do with the part and who's doing the Picture," the Academy-Award winner continues. He likes doing the college lectures quite a lot and is currently doing a tour of the college circuit partly promoting his book FRONT AND CENTER. Houseman feels that he had no advantages going into acting later than most people. His first acting role was in the "Paper Chase" which won him an Oscar. " The director of the movie, Jim Bridges, needed a rather ferocious in· dividual to play the role of Kingsfield and asked me," 1 Houseman continues, "I'm not sure whether I had the ferocity or not but i!_ ~as a great deal of fun ." The Student Center Board at this I week's meeting has decided to look into the purchase of an ultra violet stamper for all parties held at the center. It seems that no matter what ink stamp is now used it is be· ing duplicated by people who want to go to SUB parties but who are unwilling to buy tickets. The bar is ex-, peeled to be completed the week after next. Also brought up at the meeting was the stuffing of the foosball table. The table is supposed to give 12 balls per game for $.25. Un• fortunately when people stuff the table with paper napkins and other things only 3 balls are received for ~~e same $.~ff_ ~ · The student center worker from now on will have a key to the table so any person getting only 3 balls will be able to go to the worker and get his other 9 balls. The foosball table along with the other machines are there for enjoyment and money making. The board noted that the student center cannot make any money · when the foosball table is stuffed by people who just want to have a few extra balls per game. Refund money from any of the machines due to a person can be picked up by that persori on Thursdays from 2·4 p.m. in the afternoon in the Student Center's office.

In a comr"1.rison between American and British acting students he claims that there are no enormous differences. "After the trouble of the 60's, American acting students are much more dedicated," explains Houseman, "There are many advantages and disadvantages to students behind the Iron Curtain." He further explains that the students are observ· ed and automatically drafted. "This is fine in that they get a job but it restricts the freedom of the individual.

President Mike Stapleton commended all IDC members who helped to make the IDC-CC Halloween Party on October 26 a success. Stapleton felt that the party had gone over very well and that it had been run smoothly. The only complication that arose was the failure of the security guards to attend, though they had been hired for the -event. However, there were no problems at the party that required the security guards. Under the Student Center report, the progress on the basement was updated. Stapleton stated that the cooler and the sink for the bar area had arrived and were being installed. The bar itself is now being built. It is hoped that the basement of the Student Center will be finished sometime in November. In new business, it was reported that Dana Hall is being repainted, and that an emergency lighting system for Dana will be forthcoming. Paul Adams, Housing Director, stated that the space heaters which are available in the Housing Office for "inadequately heated rooms in the dorms will be given out less readily this year since the thermostats for the dorms are set at 65 degrees. Adams also reminded IDC members that the heaters are not meant for continuous use, since they may be a fire hazard. _ Stapleton reminded IDC members of the Tri-Organizational meeting scheduled for Sunday night, November 4, at 7:00 P .M. The president also noteq that a joint IDC-CC meeting will be held on Sunday, November 18 at 6:00 P.M. in the library.

" In the first part of the dual presentation, the early Beatles are recreated with their naive style of music, the gray collarless suits, Vox amplifiers and Ludwig drums. The second portion of the show depicts more sophisticated music and behavior with bold but colorful Sergeant Pepper outfits. The concert is the third stage of a four phase fund raising drive. In the first stage, area sportsmen contributed over $10,000 through a sports-entertainment sweepstakes. The second stage of soliciting regional businesses is currently underway with the fourth phase of soliciting local governments scheduled to begin shortly. The feasibility study, which is to begin by the end of this Fall and will be completed by the Spring of 1980, is costing between $20,000 and $30,000. Attorney John J. McGee, President of Northeastern Pennsylvania Pro Baseball Inc., said the central theme is that civic-minded citizens from all walks of life can effect positive change in the community through organized effort and hard work. Tickets for the concert which are priced at $6.50, $7 .50, and $8.50, may be purchased at book and record stores in the Scranto11r - WilkesBarre area and at the offices of student governments at local colleges.

ANl1 \f ¥ f lo ~\'IS The game show, "Let's Make A Deal," and Saturday's Student Center party made up this year's Junior Weekend sponsored by the CLass of 1981. Though a few improvements could have been made, it was generally considered a success. The importance of the weekend, however, lies in the people who organized it and their work. For the first time in many years, all four Junior Class officers are commuters. This is an extremely rare situation and believe it or not many people resent it. Class officers are usually dorm students and it is always the dorm stud~nts who put all the time and effort into the class activities.The Junior class, however, has changed all _that by proving that the commuters can offer just as much. Though some dorm students did put a lot of time and effort into the weekend, the majority of the work was done by commuters. "Let's Make A Deal" was very well organized and much work and dedication was evident. It was a success but if a different emcee was used the flow of the show would have been much more comfortable and enjoyable. The Junior class took a gamble because audience participation is the center of this type of show. Though a larger crowd would have been more desirable for the most part things worked out in the class' favor. The Student Centefl)arty ran smoothly with everyone having an excellent time. It wasn't an average SC party either, with food being served along with beer. · We commend the Class of 1981 officers, Colleen Gries- President, Norm Witko- Vice-President, Margaret Scholl- Secretary, and Bill Miller- Treasurer. Though other organizations have sponsored more successful events and Commuter Council is an active organization for commuters; these four people deserve credit for working successfully in an area that has been traditionally held by dorm students. Wanted: Letters This paper is for everyone on campus and should be treated as such. Though most of the articles are written and edited by staff members we do accept and encourage Letters to the Editor. Over the last two years we have received many letters. They have expressed important feelings and dealt with many controversial issues around campus. We feel it is the best way for anyone to communicate their views to the entire "Wilkes College Family." When something is put in print it car. ies a much greater impact than by word of mouth. This year, however, we are not recefving as many letters and we don't understand why. Everyone must have opinions and most of them should be heai;d. Some say the best part of any newspaper is its Letters to the Editor section. It often proves to be the most interesting to read. However, this only works through your input as readers. If you have a gripe, comment, idea, or words of praise you want expressed to the college write a letter. Though you may not see an immediate reaction your letter will be read by a lot of important people. HSC Members .

November I. 197!1 Dr. Marban's Love For Education Brought Her To Spanish Countryside Interesting lives comes to those who have enough spirit, it seems. Such is the case with Dr. Hilda Marban, Associate Professor of Foreign Languages. Dr. Marban, a native of Cuba, immigrated to the U.S . as a political refugee when Fidel Castro came to power. Dr. Marban, her husband and family had a " narrow escape" as they fled from Cuba. Both Marban and her husband were full professors in the University of Havana. She related that the night of their last lecture at the University, all of her and her husband's published books were put into a bonfire and burned on the University grounds because the Marbans were targeted as "enemies of the revolution." The Marbans became active in the underground and aided countless students by helping .therti find safety and passage out of Cuba. Ironically, Dr. Marban's last lecture at the University was on Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence. Years later she would receive her third P.H.D. (her first in the U.S.) from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, a university founded by Jefferson. Dr. Marban's feelings on Cuba and U.S. foreign affairs run strong. After having an uncle die in a concentration camp and a stepson be detained in one for ten yea'rs, Dr. Marban commented that the "island is a concentration camp." She feels that the biggest mistake in American foreign policy was to allow a Communist takeover of a country only ninety miles from the U.S. shores. By denying air support to battle the revolutionaries, the U.S. not only backed down on it~ policy of containment of Communism, but allowed the U.S.S.R. a foothold into the Americas. Dr. Marban attributed the widespread political unrest in Latin America and Vietnam to this Communist stronghold in Cuba and pointed out that Cuban mercenaries now fight for the U.S.S.R. worldwide. Dr. Marban has a keen interest in the political and social aspects of the Spanish culture. While doing research on Spanish colon_ies in the New World, Marban found that although much had been written on the 16th and 18th centuries of the colonies on Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Cuba, little was known about the 17th century. Dr. Marban spent a month researching primary sources in the Archives of the Indias in Seville, Spain. The colonial archives contained all the manuscripts and records from the countries Spain discovered and colonized. The records were fragile and difficult to read but Dr. Marban found them a challenge. Another field of interest is her research in Spanish folklore. Dr. Marban has visited all the countries in South and Central America, all of the Spanish speaking countries in North America and Spain. During her stay in Seville. She was able to observe, the celebrations during Holy Week in April which featured its world-reknown procession. This procession consists of a multitude of Catholic congregations and magnificent floats (one hundred and three in all) . In addition to visiting Cordoba and Granada, Dr. Marban traveled through the rest of Spain. -She also visited France, Portugal and Italy, and sampled the cultures through the museums, the cathedrals, the opera and ballet. Marban's favorite city is Rome. Her de!' t and fascination with the Marban is optimistic. She finds research and writing fascinating because there is "so much to learn." Although she admits to battling apathy in students she asserts . that teaching is fruitful and her spirit prevails.

She spent a year in Spain while on sab' ~ ·-....;._.__ batical. city stems from her impression that the "whole city is a museum." From all of her many experiences : spending time in Cordoba; the birthplace of the Roman philosopher Seneca; seeing Lisbon, the capital of Portugal ; and visiting the Louvre; Dr. Marban was able to pick out her most emotional experience. This was at Lourdes, France. The town of Lourdes is of religious importance and its water draws people from around the world. The story of Lourdes is that a poor country girl had a vision of the Virgin Mary appear to her during a terrible drought and because of her vision she found a spring in the middle of an old mine thus saving the town. The water then became famous all over the world and had mystical properties of curing attributed to it, -Thousands of people who are terminally ill come to drink the water of Lourdes. Every night at 8 or 8: 30 P .M . people gather in front of the grotto and pray the rosary in ten to twelve languages. Then a procession with 'candles follows. The.night Dr. Marban witnessed the procession at Lourdes was cold and rainy, but she wanted to experience this religious event. She saw five to six thousand terminally ill people, young and old from the sanatorium gather and sing and pray. As the procession went around the grotto she and her son joined it. Turning around momentarily to see the cathedral behind her, she was amazed to see that the procession consisted of over 25,000 people holding candles, walking, singing and steering carriages. In each carriage lay a sick or dying person and the look of faith was so strong on their faces that it made her " feel so humble. " The procession ended in an underground cathedral where it took some three hundred priests to give blessing and communion to all tl)e people. Dr. Marban's ultimate ,goal is to compile two books on folklore, one on Latin American and one on Spanish folklore, which will include everything that she has seen. Although there are many obstacles to overcome before publication, .. __ ____ ... Wilkes Letterwomen's Club Active On And Off Campus The Wilkes Letterwomen's Club, which consists of those women who have lettered in a varsity sport, such as field hockey, tennis, volleyball, swimming, basketball or softball is one of the most active clubs on campus. This fall they have been busy operating the concession stand at the home football games. Some of their activities last year included the sale of Homecoming tee-shirts and candy. They also sponsor annual Parent's Day and alumni games for each sport. During the last week of the Christmas break they hold an Invitational Women's Basketball Tournament, in memory of Coreen Santoro, a former letterwoman who died of cancer three years ago. The Letterwomen also sponsor a raffle at the Wilkes Open Wrestling Tournament. The concession stand and raffle held at the wrestling tournament are the Letterwomen's major source of income, with money going towards the financeing of the Let~ tewomen's winter jackets. After lettering for two years in the same sport she will receive the Letterwomen's winter jacket. A trainer or manager of a sport for two consecutive years also receives a letter. Honorary members of the club include the coaches of women's sports and Mr. and Mrs. Santoro, parents of Coreen, who have made contributions to the club the past several years. The club annually awards a scholarship to a senior, which is voted on by the members of the club. It is given as a service award. The recipient of the award is in charge of the concession stand for the year. This year's scholarship winner is Sue Freda. There is also a Coreen Santoro Memorial, another service award given to a senior for her dedication to the sport, awarded at the end of the year. Last year's winner was LuAnn Neely. The Letterwomen's Club is advised by Doris Saracino and the club officers are: President, Judy Bellis; Vice-President, Rose McMahon ; Treasurer, J ackie Wiendl; Corresponding Secretary, Doreen Swiatek ; and Recording Secretary, Sarah Farley. ~· , ~ J(!dy Johnson HERE'S HOWi- $10.00 OFF ON AIIY ULTRIUM'R/#G ...

During his lecture, Houseman stated that in his lifetime amazing things have occurred in the communication of dramatic material. First, there were silent movies, then the "talkies, " radio, and finally television. He feels however, that "after all is said and done, the theater is the heart. and core of dramatic communications.'' Between fifty and sixty years ago, the public went to the theater because that was the only form of dramatic communication available other than attending church and political events. " Today however, unless you are a hermit, you are subjected to 4 to 16 hours of dramatic entertainment per week from television alone." Houseman entered theater in the early 1930's through federal theater projects of the WPA, which was a federal project to employ people during the Depression as stage hands or actors. Houseman recalls co-directing the Negro Theater of the Federal Theater of the WP A in New York City as an exciting experience. " I had to take 750 people in the tempestuous neighborhood of Harlem and create actors of them ." His solution was to divide the theater _into two parts. The secoM half of the theater would be a classical theater. This part of the theater successfully presented " Macbeth" with was directed by Houseman's close friend Orson Welles. In this play, Houseman stated that bongo drums were needed for several musicians. Several of the people affiliated with the play requested six goats. " So we procured the goats for them, and the next day, we had drums," chuckled Houseman. · Approximately one and one half years later, Houseman and Welles ' formed a Broadway theater composed of approximately 75 percent vaudevilleans.

Later, when the · theater was closed down by· the police, because Houseman and Welles had been accused of presenting obscenities, a migration of actors, musicians and over 3000 people took place to a theater over 22 blocks away. Houseman and Welles were determined that " the show must goon." The third theater Houseman was involved in was the Mercury Theater, which led to the development of " The Mercury Theater on the Air" during which the notorious " War of the Worlds" was broadcast. Houseman then helped found the Shakespearean theater in Stratford. This especially interested him because he said, " I was working with a company of young actors, playing to relatively young audiences most of whom never saw a Shakespearean play before. I believe the audiences went away with a wonderful enrichment because of the elaborate costumes, music and rich language ." After a brief stay in Europe, he became affiliated with the Julliard School in New York City as the director of the drama division. As a traveling company, they have received requests from schools including Harvard and Princeton for performance dates. Now in its eighth year of operation, graduates from the Julliard School include Robin Williams, alias " Mork"; Christopher Reeves, famous for his portrayal of "Superman" in the movie of the same name ; and Patti Lepore, better known as "Evita" on Broadway. Houseman continued ffiat the theater has managed to adjust to changes and survive in the present society. " The theater has the strength which none of the mass media can destroy ; that of living actors and live communication," concluded Houseman. After the lecture, he entertained questions from the audience. When asked why he decided to become an actor, he simply replied, "Someone asked me." He also stated that he mistrusts the Nielson ratings, when commenting on the cancellation of his television show, "The Paper Chase." He feels the "Chase's" audience was much larger that the estimated 12 million, composed mostly af sporadic viewers who do not show . up on polls such as the Nielson ratings. He continued that another j series does not seem imminent in · his future " unless it was really Isomething special for a TV show.'' Of all the things he has done, he -feels there has not been one single greatest accomplishment. He explained, " I am proud of everything I have done and look back on everything with equal affection." - Patti Sparlow GENEBAL'SMVS-,~FACTOllY PUBL!C SQUA~~ ~ ALL 7.98 LP'S 54 9 .99 5 ALL 8.98 LP'S 5. 9 ...

Some of these buildings have gained more notice than others. In fact three of these, McClintock, Weiss and Catlin are considered to have historical significance and have placed in the Na tional Historic Register. In Wyoming Valley there are approximately twelve historic Historically the house is important due to the fact that Attorney McClintock was descended from Charles Cist, and 18th century publisher who was associated with Benjamin Franklin. Among the books Cist published were two by Thomas Paine. McClintock also helped to preserve some of Pennsylvania history by donating to the college all prints, paints, and professional changeover in styles makes Weiss Hall almost unique. The college acquired the building in 1957 thanks to the generosity of Aaron and Tess Weiss. At present Weiss Hall, as well as McClintock and Catlin, is being used as a dormitory. The college has kept the style of the structures intact and, aside from a few recent interior changes the basic style remains the same. Catlin Hall Catlin Hall was purchased by Wilkes in 1957. Although a few minor renovations were made on the building around 1906, it appears much the same as it did when it was first built. The architectural style of the building is a Georgian form with decorative detailing. / The importance of the house lies with its original owner, George Catlin, an artist who is world famous for his paintirgs and books which are included in the register. are given financial aid for the upkeep and renovation of th struc·tures. Until last year the government ruled that any building which was not open for public tours could not receive financial aid for restoration of the structure. Last year, however , a new ruling was passed to allow private individuals and institutions to receive money to keep these historic buildings in repair. Due to this new policy Wilkes is slated to receive funding this year, if all goes well. The college is researching the histories of many of the other b11ildings on campus to see if some of them may have _historical importance. There is a positive feeling that other buildings carry such • significance with them. In any case the rising cost of repairs may result in the razing of many of the majestic old Wilkes buildings.

The register is a listing of buildings and landmarks which have some historic importa nce. In order for a building to be placed on the register a petition must be sent to the Office fo Historic Preservation giving the description and importance of the structure. The three from Wilkes are handsom buildings with some historical importance. Mcclintock Hall McClintock Hall was given to the college as a gift by the late Attorney Gilbert S. McClintock in 1951. The size· of the building has been increased several times over the years and the present structure is nearly three times the size of the original house erected in 1841. manuscripts and books regarding the history of Northeastern Pennsylvania. These objects are kept in the McClintock Room of the F arley Library. The building has no distinct architectural period, but is rather a combination of many periods, which were added to it over the years. Weiss Hall Weiss Hall was originally built in · the Greek Revival style of archetecutre around 1850.

This complete Dr.Bogucki ToLedure Archaeologist, Peter Bogucki, will present a slide lecture on "The Archaeology of Early Farmers in Lodz, Poland," creating a picture of life in Poland in the 4th millenium BC, on Sunday, November 4 at 3 p.m. in Stark Learning Center room 1. Bogucki, a native P ennsylvanian of Polish heritage is currently finishing his Ph.D dissertation at Harvard University. While a student at the University of Pennsylvania, he co-directed excavations at the Kosciusko National Monument in Philadelphia. Interest in Poland led him to attend a summer language program there and carry out archaeological research. His project has been carried out at several sites. Although they had no knowledge of metal, the early farming cultures in Poland were successful and longlasting. The houses were made of wood and mud plaster. These people farmed grain, raised cattle, and made stone tools and pottery. Bogucki is particularly interested in reconstructing their economic system from the bones and other discarded items. The lecture is sponsored by Polish heritage groups from the Wyoming Valley, the Junior Kosciusko Association and the Department of SociologyAnthropology .

"The lopsided score did not however reflect the caliber of soccer played by the Wilkesmen. They displayed, perhaps, the best soccer they have played this season and were not intimidated by the reputation E-town had for being one of the finest teams in the nation. Our booters · played head to head against them, never backing down or giving up. A major reason for the Wilkes setback was the lack of a bench . Coach Ernesto Lopez was only able to make one substitution the whole game. Meanwhile, E-town 's mentor was shuffling players on and off the field the whole game. By the second period. the Wilkes players were ex· hausted as nearly every starter had to play the whole game. Coach Lopez stated after the contest that he was extremely happy with the way his Colonels perform• ed against the Blue Jays . He felt that if they can play like that the rest of the year, Wilkes can come away with a few more victories. In a game played two days prior to the E-town encounter, Wilkes shutout the Albright College Lions 2·0 in Reading. Chip Brill tallied the first goal for Wilkes on a header, the toughest way to score in soccer. It was a super shot by the WilkesBarre North-Ender. The other goal was scored by offensive leader Dung Chi Duong (Zumi l on a penalty kick.

The Wilkes College field hockey team of Coach Gay Meyers completed the regular season this past week on an up note. The week started out bad, with the Colonelettes dropping a close 2-1 decision to Division II powerhouse Bucknell University. The Wilkes women came back strong however as they convincingly defeated both Albright and Madison FDU by 5-1 and 5-0 scores. In the Bucknell match, Wilkes had its moments of glory. A hotly contested match right to the end, both Wilkes and Bucknell seemed to play just a little bit sloppy. Seventeen minutes into the first half, Bucknell's Kathy Kline, an AllAmerican candidate, took advantage of a Wilkes error to rebound a shot past goalie Rose did not score until there was six minutes left in the first half. Diane Hall took a rebound off a Smith shot and blasted it in for the tally. Hall's goal gave Wilkes the sp.irk , they needed.

Gary Mack Bowling Results STAIRCASE LOUNGE BEER Smith, Frail - Will Be Hard To Replace - "It's going to be a tremendous gap to fill in one year. If I start looking right now, I doubt very much if I can find a player of their talent, no less two," was the way field hockey Coach Gay Meyers put it in speaking of senior co-captains Mary Jo Frail and Jerry Ann Smith. "The leadership of both players will be very hard to replace". Mary Jo and Jerry Ann entered Wilkes and field hockey in September of '76 and have gone on to become 3 year starters and all stars. This year they were honored by their team- Mary Jo Frail mates by being elected co-captains. " I feel proud to be a part of this team . Being a co-captain of a team of this talent makes me fee that much prouder," said Mary Jo. She came out of Meyers High School in Wilkes-Barre and is now a senior psychologyeducation major. "Mary Jo in one of the hardest working girls I've ever had since being at Wilkes. Her stickwork has improved each year. And for the first time in three seasons, - she's healthy," Coach Meyers said. In 1976 Mary Jo was named Honorable Mention at the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association regional tournament. In both '77 and '78 she was picked to the first team of the NPWIAA, the local college league. She also participated in basketball and softball, and will co-captain the softball team this year. In 1977 she was named Beacon Woman Athlete of the Year, and won a similar honor presented by the Athletic Department in 1978. She has scored 10 goals and had 38 assists to date in het career. · Jerry Ann came out of Conestoga Valley High School in Lancaster and is a senior nursing major. "Jas is probably the best player Wilkes has ever seen. She knows where and how to create play. She's been the playmaker and spark the last 4 years", said Meyers. Jerry Ann was the first Wilkes player to be named to the first team at the SFNA Regional Tournament in 1976 and achieved that honor again in 1977. Jas went on both years to the Mideast Regionals. In 1978 she was named to the second team at Susquehanna and again went on to the Mideast Regionals. That year however, she advanced all the way to the National Tournament in Ellensburg, Washington. Pam Snyder also made the trip to the Nationals. Jas has scored 22 goals and recorded 31 assists in her career.- She also _played softball last year for the first time and was one of the starting pitchers. · "We're not a team of superstars. We're a TEAM . It's a total effort of every person on the team," said Jerry Ann. Mary Jo echoed that statement by saying "We don't have the talent that some of the other teams we beat may have. But we play as a team . There are no individuals here." Both girls are high in praise for their coach. " I don't think I would be playing hockey at another school. Because of my schedule, Mrs. Meyers had to do a lot of rearranging. She makes every player feel like part of the team," said Jas. Mary Jo added, "Mrs. Meyers has done a great job. We had a good program when I got here but she has gone out pnd recruited some excellent players. We now have a chance to win more games than any other Wilkes field hockey team and all the credit has to be given to Mrs. Meyers." Coach Meyers came back with, "it makes coaching easier if you have people like Mary Jo and Jerry Ann on your side." · · After graduation in· May, Mary Jo plans on taking it easy and look for a job. "Eventually I plan on going to grad school, but not directly after graduation." Jerry Ann's plans are more definite. "I'm going to take the summer off, and then go into the Navy Nurse Corps. " Wilkes is presently 9-2-3 and already has won its second straight MAC·Northern Division Crown and tied for first place in the NPWIAA league. A total team effort helped make this possible, but it was the extra efforts of two senior co-captains that took the Colonettes over the top .
