Douglas Cashmere is from Washington, D.C. , a Business Administration major and wants to be president because, " I feel particularly that the president of the freshman class should be a person with experience in Student Government to help provide the class with the proper leadership needed for a young and virtually unorganized class." Bob Denien of Long Island, N.Y. feels " I would like to be president so that more of the money may be spent on social activities for the class of 1983." Bob is a computer science major. Eric Farber, Cherry Hill, N.J ., is majoring in business and is running for president because "If I am to be president, morale and a strong unity among the freshman class is my key goal. Maintaining these assets will be my primary concern and hopefully well accepted by the remainder of the class." · From Middletown, N.J. and a COIJlputer science major, Jim Guerriero wants the position of president so that " I can make this, the class of 1983, the best freshman class in Wilkes history.

He has played to college audiences as well as doing professional theater. Collis has been selected to appear in the Children's Spring Festival in Philadelphia Civic Center. " Margaret Scholl "Wilkes-Barre Ci4iPolice Investigate S.CBreak-In The Wilkes-Barre City Police Department is currently investigating the break-in that , occured in the Student Center Building between the hours of 9:00 p.m. October 26 and noon Saturday, October 27. According to Dave Kerek, SCB Director, entrance into the building was obtained through two swinging doors because the dead bolts were not thrown securing the doors. Kerek added that the break in was relatively easy because of this fact, since the only lock left secured was a thin metal bar across the handles. Three games including "Space Invaders," "Flash, Stars and Bars" were vandalized along with the cigarette machine. Kerek mentioned that the games were the biggest money makers at the center and that the burglar or burglars knew what to " hit. " Roth Novelty whQ rents the machines to Wilkes has estimated A that the loss is between $250 and $275. Kerek pointed out that this is the total amount missing since there is no monetary loss due to damage. At present, the police have not reported any progress in the case although many leads are being looked into. Kerek stated that theSCB committee is discussing the possibility of installing a security system which would tie into the one at Stark Learning Ce.nter. " Myself, I would hope that a security system be put in because of the new stereo system which will be installed in the center shortly," Kerek explained. Although a security system would be great, Kerek concluded that if maintainence secures all doors and windows properly, and extra checks are _made at the building throughout the night, any further break-in attempts will be difficult.

Commuter Council announced that it has finalized its plans for the upcoming bus trip to New York City on November 21. According to CC President Bill Lewis, the reason for the one day excursion is to provide a day of activity for commuters and to provide an inexpensive means of getting home for the dorm students.

HIGH ROLLERS - Slicer and dicer Mike Canonico shows gamblers what it's like to win big buc~s at the Cue 'n' Curtain Vegas Night last Friday.

Although the crowd was of 70 people was small, everyone had a good time including the gamblers and' dealers. The "theme" of the casino was the 1940's and the "dealers" were dressed to the hilt. From skinny ties and elegant gowns to white socks and black shoes • the "casino'' people put on the 40's. However, the dealers were not the only showmen of the night. Many of the customers came dressed in forties garb and lost themselves in a night of gambling from a different decade. In fact, some of the cuctomers looked genuine enough to have been with Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca." Throughout the evfning the casino was filled with the music of the period . The big bands, the Andrews sisters or some other popular performers of the forties played in the background while -the customers gambled for high stakes with their play money. The main object of the evenings' gambling was to win enough money to · be able to bid on prizes at the auction after the casino.

In this first article, we will attempt to answer three questions about this new organization. First, what is C.O.P.U.S., second what are C.O.P.U.S.'s functions, and third, how can you as a student get involved? C.O.P.U .S. is a lobbying group in Washington and Harrisburg with offices at the University of Pennsylvania, Pitt, and now Wilkes College. Founded four years ago at the University of Pennsylvania, C.O.P.U .S. has expanded considerably and is now respected in Washington and Harrisburg as a powerful and influential lobbying group. C.O.P.U.S. has two closely related functions . The first is to keep students informed of legislation that directly affects them. The second is to keep state and federal legislators informed of our needs and to influence them to act on our behalf in such areas as increasing the amount of Basic Grants <BEOG l, Supplemental Grants (SEO~) , and WQrk-Study allotments, National Direct Student Loans (NDSL J and State Student Incentive Grants <SSIG) .' We also try to have restrictions dropped so more students can take advantage of these grants. For example, C.O.P.U.S. was credited with having a major influence in the recent passage of the Middle Income Students Assistance Act. This act requires that assets and income of independent students be measured more closely in par with that of dependent·students when calculating BEOG eligibility awards. What this means is more money for you. Lobbying is not our only effort. Each C.O.P.U.S. campus office tries to help students fill out those often confusing financial aid forms. We also attempt to answer any question that might arise concerning governmental grants. In this way, we hope to assist the Wilkes Finance Office. But more importantly, we want to help students obtain as much and as many types of aid as possible. The Wilkes Chapter of C.O.P.U.S. will not survive without your support. You are the heart of our organization. We need you to join C.O.P.U.S. We need students to learn about the workings of aid programs so they can inform other students. We also need Wilkes students to serve as liaisons to and to keep in touch with our lobbying groups in Washington. In this way, we can try to persuade each of our local congressmen to vote in our best interest. C.0 .P.U.S. can call him and let him know how Wilkes students feel about subjects which directly affect them. Considering that the tuition for a Wilkes College dorm student this year is $5,200, C.O.P.U .S. is a worthwhile organization to support. So come to our meeting every Thursday at 11 :00 o'clock at Weckesser Hall, second.floor, or see Tom Farley, Joe Knox or Pete.Just and ask us about C.O.P.U.S. Together, we can try to keep the cost of college education within everyones' price range. Next month we will inform you of legislation now being debated in Congress, which will directly affect your future as a student. ........ ..._.................., IDECKOU R'St FUTUROLOGY COURSE For the 1980 spring semester, Dr. Darte of the Education Department has announced that a Futuristics course will be offered on Wednesday, from 4to7p.m. Futuristics, which has no pre,: Ph. 822-7045 ,: requisite is the methodology of stu-Imported Beers- ~ dying the future .

According to Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management, the repairs are "virtually needed if we are to retain the building." Charles Abate, Business Manager, said the masonry work had deteriorated to the point where two chimneys were held together by nothing more than the weight of the stone. Around the outside of Kirby Hall, the mortar was decayed, causing the stone to break away. The repairs consist of chipping the old mortar away and replacing it with new mortar, which will cost approximately $40,000. The roof and windows do not-need patching, but replacing. On the roof, which leaks, many clay tiles · have · either crumbled or deteriorated. Many window frames are rotted, especially on the south side of the building. The ner thermopane windows, and screens, should help with the insulation. In both cases, the materials have to be custom made, with the roof costing approximately $75,000, and the windows costing approximately $20,000. Other miscellaneous work will include Joor refurbishing and itnerior painting. Also, after the work is completed, the exterior stones of Kirby Hall may be cleaned, though that is not part of the contract. According to Shaw, the planning process began last spring with an analysis of what needed repair. Construction started late because the school had to get an estimate on replacing the roof because at first, the college was just going to replace the worse tiles. But Abate said they would all need replacing eventually. That brought the project's cost from $127,000 to $200,000. 'l'he work should be completed by the spring. There is a sixty day contract for major structural work, but When a club experiences a fivefold increase in membership it is a sign that something is right. In the case of the Computer Club, the "something right" is the increase in the number of majors in the Mathematics and Computer Science Department. With over 50 new majors this year the department has approximately 120 majors over 80 of whom are Computer Science majors.

A trip to the LB.M. facility in 1 Binghamton, New York is planned for the beginning of next semester. Cook noted that Student Government is supposed to help with the funding for the trip which will be open to all Wilkes students free of charge. Cook added that computer club members will have first priority for the trip. A chapter of ACM, the Association of Computing Machinery, is being started on campus and many of the members of the Computer Club are joining. ACM will offer guest lectures, speakers and will be a benefit to its members. The club is offering a preregistration help seminar on Tuesday, November 13 in SLC 402 to help underclaljismen in selection of Math and Computer Science courses. Students with questions about Math or Computer Science can get answers then. A guest lecturer will be coming to the college from 1.B.M. He will speak on "The Modern Computer World". The date will be scheduled later and signs will be posted. Cook pointed out that the club has done a lot of work regarding the Science Expo. They wrote the "Banner Program" which printed out anything that anyone wanted such as the signs on the fourth floor that read "Computer Center" and the one that read "Happy Birthday Junkfood Johnny Jogger" for Dr. Koch's birthday on Halloween. Also, they had many games for the expo as well as print-outs of calendars. Some of the club's activities include parties with the Math Club in cooperation with the president, Leeann Earl. Also, in the fall the Computer Club and Math Club get together and take on the professors of the fourth floor for some volleyball (The profs usually win ).

The incident involving the placing of a dead deer in Warner House's bathroom last Tuesday, October 30, went beyond that limit. From what we understand, the deer was hit by a car. Two Wilkes College students picked it up, brought it back to campus, and placed it in one of the stalls with the intent of surprising quite a few people. The shock of seeing that deer propped up on the toilet must have been a sight one will not easily forget. We are not coming down on anyone for violating the State's GAme Commissiori rules, but we would like to think that students have some respect for their environment and for wildlife. Many people thought the whole idea was hilarious, but they probably didn't get a glance of the bathroom which was described as bloody, disgusting, and sickening. We are printing a picture of this joke to let everyone see what it looked like. Maybe we should have printed it in color to give you the total "surprise." Warner Deer Incident, Provokes S-tudent Shame· To the Editor: I would like to comment on the recent abuse of an animal by a Wilkes College Student. On October 30, a slain deer was found in the lavatory of Werner House. The deer was poised in such a position so as to create humor, which it did. BUt the fact that it was funny does not make the incident morally right. Obviously the person who thought up this disgusting scheme has no respect for wildlife, or for that matter, mankind. The · few moments of laughter the event produced cannot equal the embarrassment this school will have to contend with. Every person on this campus will have to accept the fact that because they are a part of Wilkes, they will be associated with this act, thus opening them up to unjustified criticism. Is this right? I certainly do not think so. To the person who did this Executive Staff Position·Changes Are Questioned To the Editor: As of November 1, 1979, Fred Pierantoni has served as Station Manager of the school's radio station, WCLH, for one year. The usual term for this, and all other executive staff positions, has been one year. As of this time, there have not been - and it appears will not be any applications accepted for these positions. Has the present executive staff been promised they will be allowed to keep their positions (scholarships and salaries ) until May? Last year when the Station Manager was asked to keep the position until May, Fred led the argument that everyone deserves a chance. Why, now that the shoe is on the other foot, is there this change in convictions? There are many at the station who are competent and qualified to assume these positions. Don't they deserve a chance? There are many of us who would like to know what the situation ls and why it has occurred. Ceacen,d Memller el. WCLH . abusive act, I would like to say that I feel sorry for you. Anyone who can take one of nature's most beautiful creatures and distort them upon their death is really in sad shape. Every living creative (deer included) have the right to die with dignity.

As director of the Student Center Board, part of Dave's responsibilities include scheduling of campus parties, making sure that they run smooth, and supervising the second floor of the Center during the day.

Dave Kerek not enough open space for everyone at the party to see and enjoy the bands. The major complaints that Dave has receivid about the parties have been concerning ticket sales and also the fact that there isn't as much open space on the first floor. Future plans for the building include decorating the basement with mirrors and possibly beer signs to give an added effect to the parties. Dave doesn't see himself possessing powers just "responsibility for the building. Also, there hasn't been any destruction as of this time at the parties or during the day," the director admits. "At the beginning of the year being director was time-consuming, probably because the building was brand new and I didn't want anything to happen to it." Dave is also actively involved playing soccer on the varsity team. Within the past three years Dave has been a member of the cross-country team and of the Student-Faculty· Library Committee. He claims that he enjoys hunting and fishing a great deal but does not have the time. Dave originally came to Wilkes under the Wilkes-Hahnemann Medical program but elected to stay the extra years. After a few minutes of pondering Dave admits that he wants to enter medical school because it is a challenging career and I can help people."

The communication of the humpback whale is unique in that it consists of a greater variation of sounds than the communication of other sea creatures. In what is frequently called the "song of the humpback whale," the whale emits a series of low and high frequency moans, cries, whoops and snores, combined in unique patterns. ·The same patterns may be repeated several times, but the sounds always are repeated in the same order. Because of this specific order, some researchers have proposed that the patterns can be compared to sentences. However, Dr. Winn does not hold this idea and some of his studies may revearthe significance of the sounds. Although the main topic of the lee· ture dealt with the patterns of the "songs", Dr. Winn also discussed other behaviors he has observed. One behavior that has not been entirely ex· plained, buy has long been noticed is a characteristic of the humpback whale is its ability to raise itself vertically until it ·is almost clear of the water. H is this practice and the swimming ability of the whales that has promp· ted Dr. Winn to refer to them as the "graceful giants of the sea." In addition, Winn has also studied the patterns of migration of the humpback whale, which is on the list of endangered species. Although his main goal is not to provide information for those interested in saving the hump• back whale, the results of Winn's studies may ultimately help them determine methods for preserving the species. Mary Kay Pogar ~ NOTICE The Outdoor Adventure Club will sonsor a lecture on winter backpacking skills, to be presented by Mike Menapace of Uncle Eyeball's Travelers' Emporium, , Thursday, November 8, at 8 o'clock in SLC, 31 6. Menapace will discuss fluid and heat retention techniques and the prevention of frostbite and hypothermia. All are invited to attend. In today's fast paced society many people are finding it hard to keep up with the constant changes. In an effort to keep their personnel up to date, many businesses are turning to the colleges for continuing education programs. By definition continuing education means ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction. In essence what this means is that businesses need qualified instructors to teach their employees. At Wilkes the continuing education • program is in the growing stages. Continuing education was a part of the evening and summer education program. Now it is separate, mostly due to the non-academic nature of the program. In continuing education !he "students" do not receive credits; their main goal is to keep up-to-date in their field . Another major reason for the separation is the greater attention that must be turned to the continuing education program. Basically the program works like this: Wilkes is contacted by a business · . ,..,..., .....................~ Hair Styling- Hair C.utting Perming- Conditioning Manicuring I § Bar~er ~tylJ~_!_ Roffler styling with all work aone 111 p, 1vu1e · § § §• , Q - , ~ ~ < Q - , , . q , , q , , q , ~ t "dolores" Vida § §· The Brooks Hair Salon § t £. § 15 S.

The qualified veterans are eligible for a grant equal to their tuition cost. A maximum grant of $1,200 at a Pennsylvania school or $800 at a non·Pennsylvania school is available. These grants are non·repayable grants. Bob Oliver also stated that there are approximately 140 veterans on campus, 10-15 of which are women. The ages range from the average of 26 years to the early 40's. Approximately half of the veterans on campus are married with families. Bob Oliver continued to state that about 100 veterans are full-time students. The remaining 40 are parttime. The veterans on campus hold a variety of jobs including bank executives and factory workers. Bob Oliver feels there will be an increase in enrollment for the next year or two. Afterwards, enrollment may decline due to the expiration of the G.I. Bill, unless the Senate extends its deadline. Academic planning and guidance are available to all veterans. Provided, also, are extracurricular activities such as sports events sponsored by the Veterans. Anyone wishing to obtain more information may contact Bob Oliver of the Veterans Club, Parrish Hall. The federal G.I. Bill, made into law on January 30, 1955 has provided educational benefits for the vet~rans of the Vietnam War. Under this G.I. Bill eligibility -for financial assistance requires a minimum of 181 days continuous active' service. This service must have occurred after January 31, 1955 and before January 1, 1977. Also, an individual is eligible if one has enlisted and has been assigned to a reserve unit before January 1,1977. One must have served active duty for at least 181 days beginning within 12 months after. January 1, 1977. Also, discharge or release must have been under conditions other dishonorable. Each eligible person with 18 continuous months or more of active duty can receive approximately 4 years of full-time or part-time educational benefits. If a person has served less than 18 months of active duty they are entitled to 11h months of full-time or part·time . benefits for each month served. For example, if one has served 10 months of active duty, they are eligible to receive 15 months of benefits. Pennsylvania provides State Higher Education Grants for residents, qualified veterans in need of financial assistance for postsecondary education. All veterans are considered without regard to the financial posi· tion of their parents or guardian. Ac- that wishes to keep its' employees abreast with the times. These companies will contract with the college to have certain courses taught to their employees. If the college believes it will be worthwhile it will offer the course. Many companies would like to teach their employees modern techniques or related interests which would help them to function better in their jobs. Few companies, however, have the qualified instructors to give the employees the up to date knowledge. Therefore they turn to the colleges to have these classes taught. If the company supplies the students the college supplies the classes. Philip Tuhy sees continuing education as a necessary :md growing func· tion of today's colleges. He believes, "Continuing education fills the gap for those companies who wish to keep their employees up to date." Tuhy sees continuing education as the college's duty to the community. "The colfeges' primary responsibility is to the community." Tuhy adds. The program is still in the initial stages at Wilkes. The college is negotiating with several companies at present. Once the need for a class is established the college must determine who is available to teach it; what texts are at hand; where the cla~s will be held and what the costs will be. Once all the details are settled the col· ~ lege and the company reach an agree91! ment on the class. Tuhy believes continuing education will become a large part of the college in the future.

According to Dr. Thomas Kaska,Chairman of the Department fo Languages and Literature, Wilkes is presently certified in speech, theater, literature, and writing. He continued that sometime in the near future, he hopes to also be certified in linguistics and non'!print media. If this proposal is adopted, Communications 101 will be added to the present English curriculum, exposing students to communication theory. He stated he hopes the new proposal will pass, adding, "I saw this coming 5 years ago." He continued, that since the adoption of the new Communications Studies major, Wilkes will have no problem tailoring the program to meet the specifications laid down by the state. But Dr. Kaska feels a straight English certification should still be offered, "Since Communications is essentially English," he said. According to Dominick O'Brien of the Pennsylvania Division of Teacher Education, the new certification will standardize the requirements statewide, and the combination of the two areas will prepare a teacher to do more than teach literature. "This development addresses the real needs of teachers today," he explained. He feels that this is a sign that the emphasis on English. will wither away eventually; although courses such as literary history, literary criticism and others are a part of a well rounded TomorrowlnCPA----------------- 26th Annual Tax Clinic Scheduled The 26th annual Tax Clinic, designed for Northeastern Pennsylvania lawyers, accountants, bankers, industrialists, and those interested in detailed and late developments in the tax structure of the United States--will be held at Wilkes College's Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts, Friday, November 9, The clinic is co-sponsored by the Northeastern Chapter, Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants; and the Wilkes College Department of Commerce and Finance. Carl J. Lisman, Northeastern National Bank, Scranton, is serving as chairman of the tax clinic. Other members of the tax clinic committee include Joseph J. Kelly, Wilfred C. Carey, Thomas M. Gill, and Thomas Douaihy. The proceeds from the 26th annual Tax Clinic will go towards a scholarship fund set up by the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The Northeast Chapter has created partial tuition scholarships for accounting students entering the senior year, in recognition of high academic endeavor in the study of accounting. ,. ....

Chairman of the English Department at Wyoming Valley West School District and member of the Wilkes English Advisory Council, Lorraine Rice, said that there should be a reduction of the in depth study of literature. She explained, a whole semester may be spent on one writer or author, and when teaching the material in a high school classroom, only one or two days will be spent on that topic. Because of her work on the advisory board, Ms. Rice says she has seen Wilkes moving in this direction. "Many graduates do not nave experience in the teaching of composition and grammar, two elements which are essential in teaching high school students," she said. She has also seen teachers not have a background in teaching methods. "In response to this problem, the teaching of English course offered at Wilkes is an excellent one in the preparation of graduates to be effective teachers," she added. A variety of courses are needed to teach on the secondary level, which are included in the English-Communications certification requirements, Ms. Rice concluded. "The past ten years have brought a lot of changes," stated a spokesman from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Certification," and this proposal is an attempt to keep up with the times.''

O'Brien stated, "I think this is an improvement because it opens up many more options for the student. Emphasis can be placed in a number of areas, thus preparing a graduate not only to teach English courses, but speech, journalism and theater as well. A graduate with this certification will also be able to handle extracurricular activities such as advising the school newspaper, yearbook or plays.'' He concluded that because of these reasons, a graduate certified in English-Communications is more marketable on the secondary level. Dr. Eugene Hammer, Chairman of the Education Department, believes the new certification is a good idea because it will end the confusion existing now with the two separate certifications. Moreover, he feels a stu- · dent who wishes to be more able to get a job in the teaching profession should major in Communications because it is a more flexible program, offering the student a more of a variety. "The new Communications Studies major here at Wilkes is an excellent program," he stated. Aspokesman form the personnel office of the Wilkes-Barre Area School District stated that although he could not make a firm decision because he has not studied the proposal thoroughly, he feels the new EnglishCommunications certification is an improvement, explaining, "A student will be receiving a broader education, which is useful. In a small school district, one person is required to serve in various capacities, such as English teacher, speech teacher and yearbook advisor." He continued that he is not sure the colleges are preparing graduates to handle these responsibilities. This program will guarantee preparation in these areas, making the graduate more desirable JACQUI N'S GIBBS and CULLEN BAND Peppermint Schnapps SOFT ROCK (Proper ID required) Jt's the very best Charles Jacquin et C1e .

Just look at the coaches, personnel, and their accomplishments and you will see why we say unbelievable. Coach Ron Righter was hired as head basketball coach, but he also got the job of head cross-country coach, a sport he knew little about. Despite this the Colonels had their best season ever, 13-4. " I was a little hesitant to coach cross-country when I came here. I didn't know how to keep score and about the different intervals each kid should run," stated Righter, a St. Joe's grad. " The guys have really helped me, they've been patient with me. They saw I was enthusiastic about coaching and they became enthusiastic." Assisting Righter in both basketball and cross-country ·~ Steve Justice, who is a former Minnesota basketballer. But as they say: " A coach is only ' as his players <runners ). " as good Well, Righter has those good runners. However, many didn't have it so easy. The team 's top runner for most of the season has been Ken P ascoe. Even though the sophomore from Nanticoke was hurt with an achilles heel injury most of the season he still managed to take six firsts. Other top runenrs for the Colonels serious though. Last season he was involved in a shooting accident and was fighting for his life. Despite this, Ed ran well this year. Lou Mucciolo never ran crosscountry before, but that didn't stop him from finishing in the top 10 in cooperation . Coach Righter went out of his way several times to assure we would get the results of all the meets. I wish the coaches and the team the best of luck next season. We mentioned at the beginning The Wilkes College cross-country team finished 12th out of 21 teams in last weekend's MAC championships at a swampy Lebanon Valley course. .._ " It was about where we figured we would finish," Coach Ron Righter said, " We were only two points behind Susquehanna and a little better running and we could have been about 9th." Haverford College took top team honors with their runner Mike Shelly taking top individual honors with a winning time of 25: 18. Danny Thomas was the first Colonel finisher, 24th at 27:06. R!ghte_r: said of Thomas, "If he runs this well next week, he'll make nationals." Thomas ran at nationals his freshman year. Ken P ascoe was the next Wilkes finisher at 52nd with 28 :00. Then came Lou Mucciolo and John Supinski tied for 67th at 28 :24. Other Colonel runners finishing were Ed Eppler 80th, Captain Don Patrick 90th, and Roger Da vis 101st. These same runners will travel back down to Lebanon Valley for E astern Regionals this weekend and then, for those who qualify, nationals in Illinois. Rich Nordheim a.-----•--------------•---most of the meets. Ken Waters is like Lou, with not much crosscountry experience. But, Ken continued to inprove. Also, during the last two meets of the season Kenny went to wrestling practice in the morning and ran in the crosscountry meets in the afternoon. · The two seniors on the team are Captain Don P atrick and Roger Davis. Both runners ran their four years at Wilkes and showed much dedication toward the team. We wish them the best luck in their future plans and hope they will continue to run . · On behalf of this paper and myself I thank Coaches Righter and Justice, and the team for their .:Bowling ••• Results • Roger Davis this season have been Danny Thomas, Ed Epler, Lou Mucciolo, captain Don Patrick, E d Cuningham, Roger Davis, J ohn Supinski, ,Kenny Waters, Kevin Cavanagh, · Bob Feldman, Dave Krieger, · Vince D' Amato, and Marie Eiswert (the only girl on the team ). · Danny Thomas, formerly of Wyoming Valley West, had a sensational freshman season. However, during his sophomore year came down with monoucleosis and did not live up to his capabilities. Danny bounced back to be the Colonels' top runner at the end of the season.

Lisa Hughes tossed a 173-487 to keep her Nuts two games ahead of Good News and three up on The Pack who, despite dropping two of three to the BS'ers mm Keba 167-429 l, re mained in contention for a play-off slot. In the American Conference, Poky's, topped by Leo Orlandini's 180475, grabbed three games from the Vets Club to increase their divisional bulge to two-and-a-half games. Tied for second are Bud's who received a 3il bye and the 752 Crew, paced by Jack Kijek's excellent 232-615, who swept the Mother Brothers.

But I think the words of George Bernard Shaw say it best. " Some men see things as they are and say why, I dream things that never were and say why not. '' Rich Nordheim Polska No Baloney! Took in the Polish National Tea m - Scranton University basketball game last week. Had the pleasure to sit a mong some top area cage coaches including our own Ron Righter a nd Steve Justice. Also on hand were Pete Baran, a top-notc h coach in many leagues and high school all-star Mickey Banas. All were impressed with the play of the "BIG" Polish team. Some of those guys would make a little-known college a national power. J ustice kiddingly asked if any had any college eligibility. We were impressed with the Royals of Bob Bessior . Bessior, a regular guest on Gary Mack's WCLH sportstalk show, has the horses this year after suff_ering through a_n off year last season and don't be suprrised if the Royals rock and roll their way to an MAC title. Back after a year's layoff is "I in the Sky" Irv J ohnson who was simply "super" against the Polish tea m. The Wilkes-Scranton, Kendall McNeil · Irv Johnson game, on TV this year should be a barn-burner. Guess who ran into Boston Celtics standout Larry Bird in Atlanta a week ago. None other than our alumni director Rick Reese. Dr. Reese said he noticed some really tall guys walking around the Atlanta airport and then he recognized Bird. Reese added that all t he Celtics signed autographs and talked to fa ns while waiting for their flight to Boston. Wilkes College Soccer Coach Ernesto Lopez is still upset over last Saturday's 4-3 loss to Delaware Valley and about the an injury to Jim Hart. Hart was injured and had to lay on the field for close to a half-hour waiting for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. 'Lopez was upset about no trainers being present at that game. More on this later. Coach Gay Meyers is doing a super job with her women's field hockey tea m this year. The ladies are becoming a dynasty, ala Wilkes baseball, Scranton basketball, King's basketball a nd Wilkes wrestling. If hard work pays off, look for a banner year from the Wilkes College swim team. The swim team is working vey hard under first year coaches Bob Greenwald and Bob Lewis. The Beacons' own Ji m Edwards is expected to lead the Colonels during the 1979-80campaign. When the smoke clears, look for Frank Kush to be back at Arizona State. This incident shows how important " big-time" college football really is and if winning is the name of the game - nobody does it better than Frank Kush, except maybe Paul "Bear" Bryant, Jim Devaney's hero . One of the toughest lines we've heard recently in a song which relates to sports is: "A fool will lose tomorrow, looking back for yesterday." Think about it! Owen Costello, the city's " Mr. Recreation" and "Mr. Wrestling" says last Friday's Wilkes wrestling scrimmage with Lafayette was a success . Costello knows more about wrestling than anybody you've ever met. Smartest thing Channel 16 (WNEP-TV ) ever did was have him do color for the Wilkes Open championships a few years back. Nancy Roberts showing very positive attitude with the women's basketball team. She's a lot like Ron Righter and both should enjoy their first collegiate coaching seasons with many victories. Pete Rozelle really has the NFL going in the right direction. There are no more "sure picks" in the NFL and betters are taking a beating. Jus t look at the New York Giants. I don't think they know why they're doing so well. We got a letter from King's College Basketball Coach Ed Donohue last week thanking us for mentioning him in a previous issue. P apers in the area are saying Donohue will have a tough time this year with no height, but the Irish mentor has ways of winning ball games. Should be a dog-fight in the MAC race between King's, Scranton, Wilkes and look out for Les Lombardi's Delaware Valley Aggies.

The Colonels officially saw their league championship hopes die last Saturday in a 21-7 upset loss to Juniata Colle e in H~tingdon, Pa. Rollie Schmidt The defeat leaves Wilkes with a 4-2 conference record and a 4-3 overall mark and Coach Rollie Schmidt's team will be looking for its first winning season since 1974 this Saturday when the Blue and Gold host Susquehanna University at Ralston Field at 1:30. You could day the Colonels gave away Saturday's .game. Three times the Wilkesmen gave up the ball (two by fumbles and one interception} and THREE times Juniata capitalized for touchdowns to take the 21 ·7 victory. On the first play from scrimmage of the ga!!)e, Wilkes back Carmen LoPresto fumbled and two plays later. Juniata sophomore quarterback Mike Nett threw an eight-yard scoring strike to Jimmy Jones for a 7-0 Indian lead.

Her girls had just taken on two national powerhouses, defeating one and losing to the other. Both were decided after double overtime periods and a " flock-off." Sandwiched in between, however, wa:s the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association Regonal Tournament. The Colonelettes defeated Franklin & Marshall Thursday, left Friday for Susquehanna, played four games Saturday, woke up Sun- · day and played another game, hopped into the school vans with box lunches, traveled 31,i hours to Get- . tysburg and finally dropped a 2-1 decision in the flick-off. Now you know why Coach Meyers was a littie weary . ( A flock-off is a series of five girls going one-on-one with a goalie. This series continues until one team puts more goals in than another.) In the Franklin & Marshall encounter, the Diplomats tallied first 11 minutes in the game. Wilkes had its chances to tie, but could not score.' The second period opened with F&M on attack. The tide changed, however, with 15 minutes left in regulation time junior Jerry Ann Smith took hard shot on goal and the Dip-goalie played it. Diane Hall, Ellie Adams, and Mary Jo Frail were there on the rush and pushed tfie ball back to the goal several times. It ended up that the F&M goalie fell on the ball to prevent any other aciton. A penalty was called and Pam Snyder scored to tie it up at 11. The goal psyched Wilkes up. Then came the two 71; ~ minute over- times. Both teams had seven shots on goal, but neither could score. Wilkes seemed to have a small edge in the two OT's, but F&M's goalie made some super saves. Carol Mar· tin and Jerry Ann Smith scored to give Wilkes the win. The Colonelettes were three goal underdogs going into the F &M match as the Diplomats were ranked No. 9 in the nation and were in the running for an AIA W Tourney slot. Co-captains Smith and Frail both played outstanding games as did Terri Burak. Also playing well was freshman · goalie Rose Shanahan, who had ten saves in regulation and five important ones in OT. In the finals of the MAC on Sunday, Wilkes traveled to meet another national powerhouse in the Gettysburg Bullets. Wilkes scored first in the fast-paced game·as Pam Snyder found the range on an assist by Smith. G-burg came back with two goals to take the lead. Diane Hall hit on an unassisted goal to tie the score at 2-2. The Bullets goalie made some super saves late in regulation to keep Wilkes from scoring. In the first OT Wilkes had five shots on goal compared to one for Gettysburg, but the Bullet "D" held. In the second OT period, the opposite was true as Gettysburg had six shots to Wilkes' none. But somehow Wilkes managed to hold on with Shanahan, Smith, Helen Gorgas, Linday Dayer, and Carol Martin all playing great "D" in the . two periods. Then came Wilkes second flickoff in less than a week. One flick-off is odd, but to have two in the same week is very rare.

The ballots from the election were not counted and they will be destroyed. At a special meeting of SG's executive council last Thursday, the candidates were reminded of the election regula- . tions. The new election will be held today from 11:00 to 1: 00 in the Student Center, and from 4:30 to 6:30 in the cafeteria. Blumfield commented that last Thursday there was a large turnout for the election and he hopes to see a similar turnout today. In a related matter, Shep Wilner presented his first draft of a proposed new rule for elections. The rule would prohibit the placement of any campaign material off campus. Once again, vandalism on campus was an important topic at the meeting. Mike Stapleton mentioned that during the past weekend several windows and door handles have been broken at Pickering Hall. In the discussion that followed it was pointed out that last Saturday night someone took a half-keg of beer and some soda fro11_1_ the Student Center basement which the Biology Club intended to use for a party. It was also noted that someone tried to break into the Student Center through the kitchen window. Furthermore, after the "Gong Show" last Saturday, it was discovered that a partition has been knocked down in one of the men's rooms. Also, it was reported that there was drinking going on backstage during the show. The social committee felt that the "Gong Show" has been played out and they recommend that the show not be held next year. The committee added that the profits from the show will go for a coffee house to be held December 13. hi fund requests, SG voted 10-11-1 on a motion that would have _given $215 to the racquet ball club to help defray the costs of membership at Royal Courts Racket Ball Club.

Patti Sparlow New Facts In SCB Break-In Cause_Conflicting Opinions A number of interesting facts have been'brought to light concerning the break-in which occured in the Student Center Building two weeks ago, between 9:00 p.m. Friday, October 26 and noon Saturday, October 27. It was last reported that entrance to the building was gained with relative ease because the two dead bolts were not thrown. Tom Martin, the night manager, and John Lukachko, a security guard, both · echoed this ·detail. Martin explained, "Our only concern is locking up the kitchen area of the building. The rest of the doors are left for security to lock up. Maureen Martin, day manager of the building, was Jocking up the whole building when we closed at 4:00 p.m. on Fridays, but then was told not to. The weekend of the robbery was the first time she didn't lock the whole place up." . _ According to Luk~o, it is not security's job to lock up the building. "Mainte(!ance is supposed to lock the -ioors; security has nothing to do with we Student Center. We mostly patrol the campus to see that no trouble happens and check the dorm~.to assure the safety of the students." Joe Prescenes, the maintenance man who locked the building the night of the break-in, stated, "Maintenance controls the keys to all the buildings and locks all the buildings." When asked to explain his version of what happened that night, Prescenes replied, "Nocomment." Dave Kerek, Student Center Director, discovered the break-in and robbery and informed security, who in turn reported it to the police. Martin was not aware of the break-in until 3:00 Sunday afternoon. "I come in every Sunday afternoon, and every Sunday after a party the night before, the doors of the building are open, but no one is in the building. One of these days, someone is going to drive up in a truck, carry out all the furniture, and drive away with it." Martin went on to sav that he hastomplained, but so far has gotten no results. Lukachko explained that there are three main zones of patrol, with one man assigned to every zone. The first zone includes the area between the Hotel Sterling and the Student Cente~i . iAiN -$80.00 PER MONTH Plasma, the liquid portion of your blood is a much needed product that only YOU can supply!

As soon as the guards· are finished with the round, they start the same procedure again," concluded Lukachko.

Personally selected by Cousteau out of a number of candidates, Rigley described "Project Ocean Search" as being much like the Environmental Protection Agency, in that its goal is to educate people about the environment. As Director of Science, Rigley's primary responsiblity was to see that the science format of the project adhered to the standards of the Couteau Society. These standards focused principally on the biological accuracy of the various forms of research which includeq pollution, land, ocean and estuary investiga- tions. animal behavior, sounds are produced Conducting most of its experiments when fish rub bone parts together or out of Hilton Head, South Carolina, vibrate the muscles on their swim "Project Ocean Search" was directed blatter. at the total marine environment.

Rees has resigned from the position to take a position as Director of Education and Training at Mercy Hospital, Miami, Florida. The former education professor has mixed feelings about leaving the college. He explains, "I have misgivings about leaving the people at Wilkes but -~~r~~~:er:p~~un~~::o~!~!~d~~~ Wilkes College brought me in contact with such good people from the president and the faculty to the students." As far as accomplishments go, Rees feels that he has accomplished quite a lot and thinks that it will be a big job to maintain the programs and projects that he has set up. Rees's new position has the twoprong combination of teaching and administering. He will be administering management training workshops as well as administering a program for the doctors and nurses at the hospital. According to Tanya Hallez, Assistant Director of Alumni Relations, "Working with Dr. Rees was one of the best learning experiences that could have been offered to me. We're sad that he's leaving, but it's a fantastic job with great benefits. The entire third floor is personally happy for Dr. Rees."

Putilic5et'wleolThsNewspaoe,&The~Q:ulol ~ �Page 4, The Beacon, November 15, 1979 Pledge Allegiance The recent international tension between the United States and Iran has resulted 1n the possible exportation of all Iranian students in the United States. Presently, only the ones living here illegally will be sent back to Iran. This situaton has touched the college in several ways. First, on Friday an anti-Iranian banner was hung from Parrish Hall. Thesecond incident concerned a threatening phone call which caused the cancellation of the International Dinner, originally scheduled for Saturday night. If this continues, more drastic and possibly violent acts may result It is our opinion, that the Americans must realize that 60 of our people are hostages in Iran, and our actions could determine their fate. Patriotism is a good thing, but when the lives of fellow Americans are in danger, the best form of patriotism we can practice is that of not jeopardizing the lives of the hostages and wholly supporting our government durin·g this critical time. 1 Pelosi & Cashnaere If there is anyone on this campus who doesn't know that Vinny Pelosi and Doug Cashmere ran for the president of the Class of 1983 then they must be a hermit. This campus has not seen a more aggressive campaign in recent years and it certainly livened things up. . Though the election was declared void last Thursday, November 8, by Student Government because of campaign violations, we com- . mend Pelosi and Cashmere for their spirit, originality, and aggressiveness. The rules violated deal with campaign sign size and how many sheets you can post but we feel that these rules impede election hype. If it wasn't for Pelosi and Cashmere there wouldn't have been over 300 ballots cast. The Publicity and Elections Committee's decision to void the election should be an indication that maybe their rules are too restrictive. Some feel last week's campaign got out of hand but if that's what it takes to get over 300 people from a class to vote, more power to them. We are asking the freshmen class to go back to the ballot box today and vote for your candidate. Cashmere and Pelosi seem to be the most popular candidates and maybe either one deserve it over the field of seven because of their campaign efforts alone. -----the-- '.

'Careful V _ oter' Answers Letter From Willner To the Editor: An Open Letter to Shep Willner: I have indeed noticed the new way of announcing campus election results, and let me tell you Shep, I think it's great. It's definitely one of the most constructive things the P&E Commit· tee has ever done, and if you're responsible, then you deserve all the credit. I think it's important to know what our representatives look like; after all, if one wishes to speak to an elected student rep., one can't very well wander through the Student Center or caf calling for them, not can one? Now we can nab them with a minimum of public humiliation. In fact Shep, I think it would be a great idea if pictures were posted before elections, so that we can see who we're voting for. Casting a vote for a name can be risky; I for one would like a more complete "picture." Seriously, Shep, it's a good idea, one that is exceeded only by your dedication, sincerity, and enthusiasm. Keep up the good work. Regards, A Careful Voter / :: / '' t{."{. W\.\£ Rf 'S MY i\OL.OG:,'(' (Xrf'i~.\Mf..trr?'' Women Of Susquehannock Address Social Committee To the Editor: We, the women of Susquehannock Hall, would like to announce that we are very disappointed in the Student Ricky Marshall Fan Upset W , ith Righter's Decision To the Editor: If I could place a title on this letter it would read "Coach Gives Player a NoChoice Decision!'' I thought the sports program here at Wilkes College was designed for the benefit of the students. I don't see how any students benefited from the following situation : On Tuesday, October 24th, Coach Righter called in a Senior returning Letterman to speak to him. 'The player was then told, "it doesn't matter how good you play, you won't get in any games." The athlete asked if he could be given a chance to prove himself, and Coach Righter said, "no." Righter also said, "Even if you play far better than the others, they will play in the games, not you. " So the athlete did what· he believed was expected of him, he quit. And since Coach Righter made no attempt to change the athlete's mind, that is exactly what the coach wanted him to do - Coach Righter wanted him to quit. But Rick Marshall is not a quitter, he quit under pressure. I'm talking about the kind of player who never gave up. Whether on the court or on the bench he inspired his teammates to the final seconds of games. His enthusiasm and smart ball handling won many games for Wilkes. A player returning as last year's Most Valuable Minuteman. Rick was coming back for his senior year and looking forward to it. He has devoted much time and effort into the sports program here at Wilkes, and he got stabbed in the back! I feel Coach Righter was very selfish and only looking out for himself. A coach should look out for his players and their feelings . Where was his concern for Rich Marshall? I think this affects a senior a great deal, and I don't think Coach Righter thought about Rick Marshall at all. As an athlete l' have tremendous respect for Rick Marshall, and I feel he was treated very unjustly. But this is not the end of the story. Coach Righter gave the same speech for another senior returning letterman, and he too quit. I think Coach Righter . should examine his conscience before he sweeps out the whole basketball program. I wish it could be said, "Coach Righter irs your loss!" and wait till you see how big a loss. But it's not just the Coach's loss, it's a loss to Wilkes College. We lost a valuable member of ·the team. This letter was written for this reason, if you ever hear people ask, "What happened to Rick Marshall, isn't he playing this year?" And the response is simply, he quit. You'll know the answer is not that simple because - Rick Marshall is not the Bad Guy, you see. He's not a quitter! Sincerely, r Government Social Committee. We had scheduled a party in the Student Union Center for November 9, 1979. ,This reservation was made over a month ago. We were informed on October 30, a week before our party, that the dedication of the new Student Union Center was November 10. This meant we had to cancel our party for the ninth. This has caused great inconve• nience, not only for our dorm, but for the band we hired. They are now out of $150.00 and cannot book another engagement in such a short period of time. We strongly recommend that in the future, the social committee be more aware of what's going on at Wilkes College.

First of all, I was chosen as Manager of WCLH on November 1, 1978 and did not begin my official duties until January 1, 1979. There has never been a written <or unwritten ) WCLH rule as to when the term for Executive Staff positions begins or ends. The only WCLH rule is that Executive Staff positions are held by a person unless he violates a Federal Communications Commission Statute or fails to perfo~ his duties. . Secondly, the WCLH Executive Staff has not been "promised" anything. As long as each member performs his duties, he will continue to receive a work-study salary, myself included. The "concerned" member of WCLH stated I "led the argument that everyone deserves a chance when' last year's manager was asked to retain his PQSition for another semester." I do feel that everyone deserves a fair chance, yet, the fact of the matter is that I did not submit an application fqr the Manager position until the last day of which they were being accepted. Our past manager, Keith Jones, did a commendable job and would have deserved another term if he desired.

Fred and I have known each other for some time, and I feel that someone should speak out on his behalf. First, there has never been a "usual" term for any position at WCLH, the term of the position begin held until graduation, resignation or a violation of a Federal Communications Commission rule. Warren Keith · Jones, Station Manager before Fred, left his position for his own reasons, not that he was "forced" to resign as the letter implies. Furthermore, Fred never led any argument that led to Keith's resigning. Reading the letter, it seems to me that the person is more interested in Money, · as he is so interested , in scholarships and salaries, than in bettering the operation of WCLH. The present Executive Staff has done a · commendable job, as evidenced by the awards we have won, and should -not be brought under fire, but instead be commended. As for the monetary gains, Fred doesn't have a scholarship, and in fact, has even been cut from the work-study program. As can be seen, Fred is not doing it for his personal gain. In closing, I wonder why this person couldn't bring his problem .to our advisor, Dr. Kinney, or Fred himself, but instead turn to the paper where he can tell STORIES that just aren't true. Is it he is afraid to face the truth, or that he is chicl<en r John Szczepanski Member of WCLH-FM Jones personally assured our Executive Staff that he did not intend to remain as manager an extra semester, that I proclaimed my candidacy. It seems that the "concerned" member is only concerned about his own PERSONAL gain, specifically, being named to an Executive Staff position in the future. The fact of the matter is that I have been chosen to remain as Station Manager of WCLH until May of next year by WCLH Director Brad Kinney and the College Dean of Management, Dr. Shaw. This came about for two reasons: (1) . The radio station operates on a fiscal budget which begins during the summer, and both men feel that the manger should begin his duties at this time in order to plan effectively. (2) . Both men have been satisfied with the Executive Staff in September and informed each member of this event. As for the general staff, members were to have been informed of this situation in early December.:, I would be the first person to admit that WCLH has many competent people who would be able to assume Executive Staff positions, yet, it appears as though only three positions will open up next year due to graduati , . Dr. Kinney and I have formulalt:d plans for an orientation program which will prepare applicants for these and other positions. This program will be conducted early in the Spring Semester and everyone will be given a fair chance to participate. I feel that the current WCLH staff is the most dedicated I have ever seen in my four-year stay at Wilkes. I am honored to know that we have con- . cerned members, yet, I feel that people who are "concerned" about their own personal gains (scholarships and salaries) are Individuals; not, members. In my heart WCLH has always come FIRST; my conviction~ have never changed. Respectively, , Fred Pierantoni Manager Class Of 1981 PresidentThanks WeekendHelpers To the Editor: Now that all the ends of the Junior Weekend are tied up, I'd like to take this time to thank the people who made the weekend as successful as it was. I would like to thank Sue Matle_y, John Moffatt and Les Nicholas for the excellent job they did in setting up "Let's Make A Deal" and Paul Kanner for playing Monty Hall.

Apparently, taking one of the Gods' creatures and destorting it upon its death upset this person. Perhaps pretending that the deer is Elvis Presley or John Kennedy might make it socially acceptable. • As for having no respect for mankind or wildlife, taking the deer from the road removed a driving hazard, and rid the forest of a carcus that eventually would become desease infested. Of greater importance is that the deceased's young are not exposed to a traumatic experience: finding mommy dead. What I find offensive is that a deer is used. What is wrong with a rabbit or a possum? Talk about discrimination. Besides deer are out of season. Concerned and Confused, Frank P.A. Forte Tea Company and Wilkes College Bookstore. Special thanks also goes to everyone who helped at the Student Center Party : Joe Rubbicco, Patti Sparlow, Charlotte Wanamaker, Joe Amendola, Charlie Boyer, Marla Brodsky, Joe Galli, Joe Knox, Rob Doty, George Bath and Maurita and Joseph Gries. Finally, I would like to thank Norm Witko, Margaret Scholl and Bill Miller as well as the Debate Union for their support and help. But above all, thanks to everyone who participated and attended any of the Junior Weekend events! Looking forward to doing it again. Sincerely, Colleen Gries Pres. of Class of 1981 P & E Chairman Congratulates Class ol1983 To the Editor: To the Class of 1983: Sorry it had to happen this way. I would like to take this time to commend the freshmen class on their enthusiasm during the class officer election. The candidates demonstrated that they have many great ideas and the spirit to go along with them. Unfortunately the election had to be declared invalid. Numerous campaign rules were broken by the majority of the candidates. Student Government had to take some form of action. Both the executive council and the publicity and elections committee felt that it was necessary to invalidate the election to insure the success of future elections. I think that Student Government and the Class of 1983 have learned from this election. I sincerely hope that the freshmen class continues with their enthusiasm and spirit regardless of this upset. Thank You, Alan D. Wirkman Chairman, Publicity & Elections Committee �Outer Limits by Flash Gordon HELLO FOLKS! I congratulate you for reading this column. After all, it is after the 10th week of class and some of our fellow students, admitted by Admissions for just being able to spell their names correctly, couldn't hack it here. Let me take this time to say that Flash ·Gordon does. not want to hurt anyone intentionally in these articles. I hope everyone is a sport about it and nobody gets offended by what's written. FLASH . . . Many department heads are upset with students missing their classes. They don't know where they are disappearing. Check the §econd floor of the Student Center. The line at "Space Invaders" is so long that one has to mllke an appointment, right Dave? Beautiful time of the year in the metropolitan Wilkes-Barre area. Good time to stroll around campus and take in the nice scenery. I did that last week and heard the same question asked all over campus, "Who the hell is Vinny Pelosi?" . ... A good time for hunting and fishing. Got some good spots for big bucks. Check the bathroom stalls in the dorms. Never know what wanders in these days. Also heard that in. order to enter Parrish Hall, you need a fishing license. Any fact to that rumor, Bill H.? N.P. and the R.A. at the hole are having a race to see who will have the first pony tail (Jealous I.D.C. Pres.?). The other R.A. was too busy with a bug. Condolences go to the top member of CC who spent nearly 4 years of maintaining a good image of dressing "appropriately" and.blows it at a formal activity. Don't worry, there are a few more chances to redeem yourself. Besides, according to your fan at Chapman, you can't do any wrong. · Daredevil of the week award goes to the individuals who somehow hung a sheet ii] front of Parrish Hall that had nothing to do with Freshmen elections. They just wanted to wish a Happy Thanksgiving in their own special way. Hope that Bedford boy learns not to go to Sterling any more. Got him more than he wanted . . . Glad to see the Hotel ·change their name, next step is to change the management. Rob; great job at the show. You gave the cheer so intensely I thought your head was smoking . . . The trumpet player wasted too much time heckling the emcee, he should have simply played taps. Well, time to sign off with another mission accomplished.

Club Invites All To Open House Today The Psychology Club is holding an Open House today, between 11 and 1 in SLC 333. Everyone is welcome. The club hopes a lot of people will stop by and help celebrate the grand opening of their new clubroom. Coffee, baked goods and conversation will be available. Even though club membership is almost double that of last year, president Cissy Riley is offering membership to any student interested. "It's not hard to join," she says, "You don't even have to come to every meeting. Just show your face every once in a while or stop in the clubroom during the day to rap." Cissy notes, "The club is a good opnortunfty for both upperclassmen and . ':!shmen to learn more about the department and relax at the same time." She continues, "You _can find out the best courses and teachers to take. Look into the different aspects of psychological research, ·and even air · particular gripes about the department. So far this year, Cissy and the rest of the club officers : vice-president, Marlene Vauter; secretary, Jim Martin ; and treasurer, Romain Long along with the members, have been busy making plans for coming events. One of the biggest projects now is collecting money to help finance their yearly trip to the American Psychological Convention at the end of the year. At the moment, the club is selling bags of par-ty mixes of pretzels and crackers, and they have plans for selling hoagies and possi~ly a tee-shirt sale. , Activities on the planning board include a club challenge snowball fight, and possibly a ski trip. The club always has their big party annually held in the spring semester to think about, and if interest is good enough maybe, even a party in the student center. Recently during the Science Expo, members of the club helped set up the three rooms offered by the psychology department. Each room focused on a different aspect of their science, while films were also shown. Cissy also mentioned that they received lots of help from Dr. Truckenmiller who sat and . discussed variou_s psychological subject matter with the visiting high school students. "We're basically a pretty nutty and insane crew, " Cissy spoke as she flashed a devilish grin. "We're into doing things. It's just a shame that there is a lot of psych _majors who haven't joined yet. Everyone should at least try it. Although we like to · enjoy ourselves, we do have a creditable purpose- in trying to familiarize ourselves with what's happening in psychology. " Perry Lichtinger The Annual Gong Show The Fourth Annual Gong Show was held Saturday evening. The MC was Rick Karo who did a rather fair job. The celebrity judges include Mrs. "Ma" Barker. Freddie "very tasty" Wall, and Dr. Brian Redmond from Environmental Science Department. These ·judges did a commendable job by sitting through the evening, and enduring some of the acts. The first act of the evening was a band entitled "Organized Noise" and was quite horrible. The "Free Wheeler" was next. This performance was a guitar-player-singer who performed a tribute to Lynard Skynard. "The Team" followed and proceeded to be gonged, mainly because the judges couldn't figure out "what kind of team it was supposed to be." It consisted of five guys : two singing and three acting out the song. Two "fast pickin" "guitar players were up next and continually boasted about their graduation from "Evelyn's Wood's Speed Guitar Course." They turned in a respectable score from the judges and were in contention for the prize. To everyone's surprise "Dean Ralston" made a special appearance and stopped long enough to treat the audience to his famous "Goooooo Wilkes" cheer; of course the Gong replaced the drum . Up next were the "Disco Blockheads". They were rather unique characters who had the art of disco dancing down pat. The "blockheads" were followed by "Drew and Lou" who were eventually gonged because their rendition of two youngsters away at camp left a little to be desired . "Right Before Your Eyes" was the magic act of the evening. Steve and Storm did their famous silk scarves act and then followed with a guillotine act with the cooperation of a wi.lling audience participant. The first half fo the entirely too long show ended with an extremely poor and vulgar imitation of the "Unknown Comic". Even after the intermission the audience remained restless and couldn't really concentrate on the remainder of the show. · The second half began with a rock band entitled "Just Another One Night Band". They performed an original NOTICE Come and get the very best in homemade baked goods at the Theta Delta Rho Sorority Bake Sale, Thursday from 11-1 a.m . in the Student Center. piece and turned i_n the highest ·score of the night at that point. The band consisted of four guys with acoustic as well as electric guitars and a saxophone. Another act of the evening was two young ladies with a lot of sophistication performing the song, "I'm Loved These Days" with pianos and vocals. "Civilizations" was the next performance which concerned a tribe of "mutants." After this "a wild and crazy guy" explained how it is to be a foreign student in the United States. For those who stayed until the end the best and most talented act of the night made their appearance. "Vengenance", a six piece rock band, performed and made the show worth sitting through. Naturally, "Vengenance" won the first place prize because of their overwhelming talent. Although there must have been much work that went into the show not too much was evident. The major drawback Qf the show was the length. After a while most people were uneasy because of sheer boredom or disgust. Margaret Scholl THE TEAM - --•w"at kind 'of team is this supposed to be?"

Your performance on April 12 will not only be furthering your career; it will be benefiting the Red Cross also. Two years ago, they made approximately $8,000, says Dave Samsel, chairman of Wilkes' Variety Show Committee, and last year they made approximately $2,500. Samsel also says, " It will bring people, as well as preforrners, together. Three other colleges besides Wilkes will furnish acts." Those other area colleges are ; LCC, Misericordia, and Kings College. The organizers are prirnarly interested in a diversity of acts. Traditionally, there have been many instrurnentals and singing acts, but Samsel says, this year the organizers would like to get comedy acts or even disco dancers. The acts will have to audition before Wilkes and Red Cross personnel, and they must all contain appropriate material. "We want something you could take.,Your grandmother to see." Samsel explains. Unlike other years, the acts rn ust be five minutes, without any warrnup acts, and must contain only students, not professors. There will be one dress rehearsal two days before the per- formance . This way, the routine is still in the mind of the actors. Because the Red Cross believes that everyone is a winner, all the acts will receive a trophy. Out of the twenty acts, though, the top three will receive a special trophy. Samsel . says the Red Cross has much of the event organized, but gives the schools considerable autonomy and responsibility. Each college, for instance, will set up committees responsible for tickets, publicity, technical duties at the preformance, and screening acts. Each college has a specialization to manage, Wilkes is publicity, and each college_is expected . to furnish five acts and sell twohundred tickets. If you have no desire to act, Samsel invites you to join the Red Cross Variety Show Committee. You can help out in any one .of the four areas. Interested students should contact Dave Samsel at Bedford Hall.

Classes will resume on Monday, November 26 at 8 a.m. SPECIAL -:•::?~;- -· MIDNIGHT cryonics, freezing of the human body. Currently, about 700 colleges and universities have some type of Futuristics course, with graduate degrees being offered in many of them. Last year, Minnesota Universi: ty presented the first Ph.D. in Futuristics. When asked what a person could do with a Futuristics degree, Dr. Darte answered that many large corporations hire these people to fill a position what the companies refer to as a "blue-skyer." A "blue-skyer" is a person who projects ahead the various trends the company may follow. "Blue-skyers" put possible happenings into story form , which may easily be studied at a later date. The Pentagon uses Futuristics in a concept called "think-tanks. "-"Thinktanks" try to come up with possible, solutions to questions such as, "What would the United States do if, Russia and China went to war? " Through the use of "think-tanks," questions such as these are more efficiently discussed. Dr. Darte mentioned that because Futuristics is not a discipline in and of itself, there is no prerequisite. The course will first be of value to the student personally, with college credit corning second. While commenting on other courses, Darte stated that the goal of Futuristics is, "To get every course futurized. To tell . you the truth, presently every course should be futurized to some point." He went on to say that if the courses are, they will have more relevance to today's students. Dr. Darte elaborated on the course by saying that there will be a required text, along with a Futuristic project. During the semester, he hopes to obtain guest speakers representing every spectrum of the course. Futuristics is open to the public and anyone wishing further information may contact Dr. Darte at Butler Hall, extension 381. Dr. Frank Darte of the Education Department has announced the scheduling of a Futuristics course on Wednesdays from 4 to 7 p.rn ., for the 1980 spring semester. Dr. Darte explained Futuristics as the methodology of studying the future, and emphasized that it is not a course in astrology. He added, "We will not sit around a crystal ball gazing into the future . No, this course will look for alternative solutions to futuristic problems." Futuristics will be divided into three categories entitled Technology, Methods of Studying 'the Future, and Bio-Medical Questions. The first area of study, Technology, will -discuss various inventions and will deal with the question of whether or not we can control applied science. Methods of Studying the Future, the second phase of the course, will concern itself with planning alternative futures through the use of such concepts as future wheels, relevant trees, and forecasting. The final part of the program, BioMedical Questions, deals with inquiries connected with ethics, clones, and genetic engineering. It will investigate such topics as cyborgs, humans with palse parts, and ~~ saow~ Peter Steve The Accounting and Business Club will sponsor guest speaker Thomas Roberts who will discuss careers in banking. Roberts is assistant vicepresidenf in marketing at the Northeastern Bank. He will speak in the lobby of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts Thursday Nov. 15 at 11 :15 a.m. The event is open to all. Roberts received his B.S. from Temple University and in 1979 received his MBA in marketing from Wilkes. Before receiving his MBA Roberts worked as a marketing analyst for the International Correspondence School from 1968 to 1970. The club has also scheduled two other speakers who will be lecturing in the near future. One will be the Personnel Director for Commonwealth Telephone who will speak on "packaging yourself for a career.'' His lecture is slated for Nov. 22. The other scheduled speaker is Gregory David Kirk who is manager for a well known business firm . Kirk will speak at a luncheon meeting which will be held at Gus Genetti's on Dec. 4th from 11 :00 to 1:00. The luncheon will be open to the general public with ticket prices for faculty and general public at six dollars each and prices for students at four dollars each. . · Basically the lectures are meant as a form of outside teaching. The club arranges to have speakers such as W.r. Roberts, who have experience in accounting or related business fields, in order to give students further background on the topics. The subjects of these lectures are chosen by the members of the club who vote on topics which they would like to learn more about. The club contacts individuals who are qualified in these areas and requests t~em to give lectures on the topics. The club also ~opens the events to the public to give interested people in the community a chance to find out more information about the subjects.

Peter Steve �Page 8, The Beacon, November 15, 1979 ·Donna Grontkowski Involved In Many C-a mpas A~i~i~ies Album Review . CheapTric~ ''Dream Police" Although Cheap Trick's music has been criticized because of their appeal to the "teeny-bopper," their music must be seriously considered. Because - of the success of their "Live at Budokan" album and the new album rapidly climbing the charts, (it debuted at number 25 ) Cheap Trick must be truly recognized as a supergroup. The new album was actually completed several months ago, but because of the success of "Budokan" was not released until late last month. With the release of this new studio album, the band loses little of its famous pop styled, raw power sound they have become recognized for. Lead guttarist and brainchild of the group, Rick Nielson should be considered as a top innovater of today's music. He changes styles so fast, so smoothly, you are Je8 to believe there are ten guitars instead of three. - The rest of the group also loses nothing when it comes to musical prowess. Tom Peterson (bass), Robin Zander (vocals, guitar> , and Bun E. Carlos (drums) are all highly skilled in their respective fields. The album itself contains a few surprises. One of the most pleasant, is the · song "Gonna Raise Hell." It is a pulsating, almost disco, rocker which features scorching vocals and some well played instrumental work. It is a long song, and some may consider it disco-like in composition. To me it is a high voltage, comqiercial style rocker. · Two other songs, "Way of the World" and "Dream Police," their new single, are "Cheap Trick" classics which stand out as the types of songs that sell their records for them. .The Super group Cheap Trick, has mushroomed into a major concert attraction. My only criticism of the album is that it sounds almost like the albums before it. The group, however, seems to be trying to get away from being stereotyped. Such songs as "Gonna Raise Hell" show that the band can break away from their traditional type of music, and keep up with the times to come. · its Disc Doings STAY TUNED-· The Major record companies want to levy a tax on blank tapes, citing their profit losses. What will this mean to you? About a 4 percent incl'.ease in already high blank tape prices . . . Has Disco taken a turn for the worst? Only five of this week's top twenty are Disco. Compare t~is to a few months ago when almost all were Disco. Fleet""._ood Mac's new album is due this week. It carries ·the most expensive list price of any production double album in history. Is it worth it? I've heard it and was very disappointed. It is not worth the outrageous list price . .. New albums include AC-DC; Jethro Tull, Styx, Cheap Trick, The Who, Judas Priest, Elton John and Pablo Cruise to name a few. I'm sure there will be a lot more .. : Remember, Christmas is coming up ... Local concerts include Kenny Loggins <Oct. 19 at King's>, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes (Nov. 4, CYC Scranton ) and _Triumph (Oct. 18 at the Paramount) ... Support your college station, WCLH. Every third Saturday of the month there is an album day, in which the top albums of today can be heard in their entirety. Listen also for the Lynyrd Skynyrd special to be held soon on WCLH. George Saba Sterling Popala~ion Decreases By-33 In the beginnirig of the fall 1979 semester, there were 177 students dorming at the Hotel Sterling. Since then, 33 students have left, bringing the current number of students at the Hotel to 144. According to Paµ! Adams, Director of Housing, this is due to a number of factors, and not all students have gone to dorms. Some have found apartments or are living with relatives in the area. As of November 1, there were ten openings available - all in Pickering Hall, all single-space rooms, and all for men. Adams remarked, "It is up to the stu<!u1t to decide if he wants to leave the Hotel or not. If two kids are happy, we leave them alone and don't separate them. Although we do reserve the right to move, and thus separate them, we prefer not to." Mr. Adams also stated that it is not as easy to get girls out of the Hotel and into dorms, due to lack of space in the girls' dorms. Presently the girls constitute the same per- cent of the population at the Hotel as they did in the beginning of the semester. According to Mr. Adams, "All the kids in the Hotel are happy there." He went on to add that many of the kids have not, as of yet, experienced dorm life. They are however getting a larger cross-section of friends at the hotel. Lisa Gurka "I just like to keep active," was the reason senior Donna Grontkowski gave for her extensive involvement in student affairs. Besides being an Elementary Education major who is presently student teaching, Donna is also treasurer for both the senior class and the Education Club.

Students who would like to enroll in the experimental program should request it as they would any other course when lhey pre-register with their advisors. Dr. Driscoll said the second semester will be more diverse than the first. Specifications in a $50,000 grant, endowed by the National Endowment for the Humanities, require the professors to design a course. in which they were interested, but which they had not taught before. According . to Dr. Driscoll, Jhe guidelines are sup_pose to encourage enthusiasm and different topics. The eight courses include Human Nature and Political Explanation, Beyond the Shadow of a Doubt; An Inquiry into Reality, Popular -culture and History; Ethnicity : Why and How; Tools, Structures, and History; Patterns of Comtemporary Thought; In Search of the Future; Progress and Its Discontents; and Social Impact of Microcomputers.

Another girl i needed in order to receive the quad rate of $269 each for the trip. Please notify by November volvement, but it has been improving. The new student center is a good example of what can be done if the students and administration get together. The more involved people are the easier it is to work out problems." Concerning her education Donna remarks, "Although I know I' ve learned alot academically, I've learned a lot more form the people I've come to meet." Probably one of the most important lessons Donna has learned while at Wilkes is that time really goes by fast and a person must take advantage of the opportunity before its too late. Of all Donna's activities, being a majorette is the most memorable for her. Before being elected captain this year, Donna was a member of the squad for two years. Her commitment to the sport extends far beyond the college level for she has been helping two area majorette squads. As a tribute to her contribution, both the Wyoming Valley West majorettes and the squad from the Plymouth mini-football league have steadily improved since her arrival. "Something I'm really getting into is playing racquetball," Donna enthusiastically pronounces, "I get to play two. or three times a week since I've joined the Wilkes club."

This qualified to be the "big one" - the heart-breaker. Losing to a team which had lost its last seven straight. well, you get the idea. And th .. ,'s what happened last Saturday, as Wilkes saw its five Anthracite Bowl game winning streak end with a 8-7 loss to a 'l:-7 Susquehanna University team which played like the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Blue and Gold rode into the 1979 season finale with hopes of a winning season, which would have been the first since 1974. But, it didn't happen and instead the Colonels end the campaign with a 4-4 slate in a year of what could have been. Susquehanna played like a major college powerhouse with quarterback Tom O'Neill guiding the offense and All-World linebacker Bob Fessler leading the "D". Both players received the game's MVP awards and Coach Bill Moll got the winning coach's trophy. SU will now take possessjpn of the impressive looking coal trophy for one year. Wilkes showed no sign of an offense all day and got its only points on a O'Neill pass. In the second quarter with the scored tied at 0-0, O'Neill dropped back to pass and threw a strike - but to Wilkes defensive back Dave Korba who intercepted and ran a nifty 47-yards for the score. Vince Savoca's PAT gave Wilkes a 7-0 lead and their final point of the 1979 campaign. Through three quarters, Wilkes held that 7-0 lead and it looked like, although it was closer than expected, the Colonels would come away with another Anthracite Bowl victory. But somebody forgot to tell O'Neill. And he wasn't even the Crusaders starting quarterback - he got hurt in the first quarter and was forced to miss the rest of the game. In stepped O'Neill and the senior ,--------, completed seven of 11 for 92 yards. Midway throught he fourth quarter, SU put together a grand drive starting from their own 41-yard line. O'Neill passed 47 yards to Kipp Sassaman to the Wilkes 12 and then connected with Rock Shadduck on an 11-yard gainer to the one for a first down. Three running plays netted nothing and set up your classic -fourth down and goal from the one-situation. With 7:32 left to play, O'Neill went to the air and hit Shadduck for the oneyard TD, only the second pass for a score Wilkes had allowed in 1979. Then the decision rested with Moll - go for the tie - there was a lot of time left or go for the win, go for the bowl and make your season. On the two-point try, O'Neill went to the airways again and this time found Sassaman for two-point conversion which gave SU a 8-7 edge. But all was not over, at least not yet. The Colonels had two more shots at victory in their final two possessions of the year. In the first with 4:30 left,. Tom Cywinski, filling in for Mike Wilson, hit a 18-yard pass to Bill Molnar and a 20-yarder to Rob Irwin for a first down at the Crusader 45yard line. The former Nanticoke Trojan, who has looked good the last few weeks and was 5-14 for 78 yards Saturday, was then intercepted by Fessler on a brilliant play. But we got another shot when Bob Luby, "Mr. Everything" returned a punt 46 yards to the SU 24-yard line with 1: 57 remaining. Three running plays netted nine yards and with a fourth down Vince Savoca came on to attempt a 33-yard field goal with 1: 04 showing. The Wyoming Valley West grad's kick was long enough but was just off to the right and the SU bench exploded like they had j4st won a national title, let alone an Anthracite Bowl. And as Savoca's kick sailed off to the right, there to went the winning season for 1979 -off to the right. The stats for the game were just about even with Wilkes getting 62 offensive plays and 188 total yards and SU gaining 181 yards on 61 plays.

Ladies Finish Season At 7-11; Price, Dudick Have Good Years The volleyball Colonelettes closed their season with a 7-11 record. They won 21 individual games and lost 39. On Sept. 16 they played a game against Penn State Hazleton Campus that was originally intended to be a scrimmage. Wilkes won 3-0. The scores for the sets were 15-3, 15-5 and 15-2. The high scorers for Wilkes were Karen Burkley and Debbie Salak with 8 points each, Mary Kay Price scored 7 pts. and Cheryl Frystak added 6 pts. to the Wilkes scoreboard. The Colonelettes traveled to Madison FDU to play their last game of the season. Wilkes lost 3-0, the scores of the sets were as follows : 1015, 6-15 and 8-15. High scorers for this . game were Cindy Rossi and Lisa Gazdick each adding 6 pts. to the Wilkes score board. Cindy Rossi, who at the beginning of the season was on the injured list due to torn ligaments in her knee, returned to the team towards the end of the year. She recovered in time to play three games for Wilkes and in these three games she proved to be a great player adding strength to the team. The two most valuable players for the Colonelettes this season were Ma:ry Kay Price a Jr. Nursing major from Carbondale, Pa. and Cathy Dudick a Soph. Biology major from Wilkes-Barre, Each scored 110 points apiece for the Colonelettes. Mary Kay Price seemed to be the most consistent player on the team, however both showed alot of determination and h••s- fle.

Hockey Team Continues To Win Awards just keep on coming in for Coach Gay.Meyers and her women's field hockey team. Last week, the girls won their sixth straight NPWIAA crown by defeating the Universicy .of_ Scranton 2-0. Goals were tallied by· Diane Hall and Ellie Adams. Assists · were credited to Hall and Nancy Cole. All in all, the girls finished 11-3-3, first in the Middle Atlantic Conference · Northern Division, second in the entire MAC, first in the NPWIAA, and will. also send two girls to the nationals next weekend. That's enough honors to last a decade. The Scranton match-up was very physical, especially for a team that went through what Wilkes has gone through lately. Akey injury in that encounter was that of senior co-captain and leading scorer Jerry Ann Smith with a badly sprained neck. But the Wilkes women survived and Smith along with Mary Jo Frail and Terri Burak played in their final collegiate contest. Six Wilkes girls then traveled to Lancaster this past weekend to take part in the Regional Tournament at Conestoga Valley High School. They included : Smith. Pam Snyder, Frail, the varsity line-up throughout the University is slated for Dec. 1 at the Engineers new gym complex. Last year, Lehigh walloped Wilkes 29-10 and also edged Wilkes for first place in the EIWA championships. We defeated Lehigh the previous year 2518 at Lehigh. The Wilkesmen will be led by senior tri-captains Mark Densberger, Denny Jacobs and Bart Cook this winter. Densberger of Danville, Pa., has been a success story since his initial year here and posted a 26-1-1 record last season including an EIWA crown. He is noted for his agressivness and pinning ability. Jacobs of Dillsburg, garnered a sixth in the Easterns and finished at 10-4 after an inj ury-ridden season. Bart "Slick" Cook, Neptune, N.J ., boasted a 15-3 slate last year and took third place in the EIWA 's. which they will take into this season. The 1979-80 edition of the Wilkes wrestling team is expected to continue the tradition and 27-year mentor John Reese is more optimistic about this squad than any he has had since Wilkes went Division I.

Capin, at 6-5, 215 could be awesome as far as rebounding is concerned and Madden is coming back to basketball after a two-year layoff while playing football at Temple University. Hustling Pat Romich, a sophomore, will also help out at the forward position. Moving up to the varsity this year from last season's junior varsity team are guard Ron Morel from Pittsburgh and forward Charlie Sotolongo from New York. Both are sophomores and Morel will be very vital to the Wilkes KENDALL MCNEIL attack this year. Righter has three freshmen on the varsity. and they include 5-6 guard Ross Zanghi from Scranton Tech, guard Greg Marshall, (Rick's brother) and big George Banas. · Zanghi will help out at point with Morel and Mccue and Marshall can fill in at either guard spot. Banas is a story in himself. The 6-3, 220 pound bruiser is a former Marine who still wears the "bull-dog" tattoo on his arm. He could be the muscle the team has lacked the last few seasons. ~White - MAKE IT HAPPEN! join the PEPPERMINT CLUB UJCKY IADY Friday Night 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Center for the Performing Arts JACQUI N'S Peppermint Schnapps It's the very best Charles Jacquin et C1e .

A common agenda was drawn up for the meeting. which included topics that both or ganizations usually discuss at their regular meetings. Although CC and IDC work together on many events throughout the year . this was the fi rst time that both or ganiza tion s met together as one body. At the meeting, G,,C and IDC presented several committee reports. IDC President Mike Stapleton stated that the Student Center Board will hire bartenders from the SCB to work at parties in the center. r ather than having people from the organization sponsor ing the party behind the bar. This change was decided upon since the equipment at the bar is new and expensive. and " they don't want j ust anyone back there." accord ing to -Stapleton. Mike Sibi lia. Vice President of IDC, also reported that the Student Center Board will be working through a distributor in obtaining beer for parties . Sibilia cited several advantages to this arrangement. such as obtaining decora- , tions like antique m irrors and signs for the basement of the center through the distributor. A report from the Student Life Committee concerning Co-Ed Housing was also given. Stapleton stated that he and Sibilia have sent letters to various colleges with Co-Ed Housing. and have been receiving some response. Stapleton will prepare a report on the Co-Ed Housing over the Christmas break to be presented sometime next semester . Bill Miller.

Ralston noted that the safety of their families in Iran and their own safety topped the students' list of concerns. The Dean went on to add that after numerous meetings, it was decided that. " .. .everybody keep a low profile." It seemed that this was the best posture the students could take in dealing with international as well as local incidents. When asked how the students were handling the added pressure, Ralston said that many of them mentioned difficulty in concentrating on their studies, with a few experiencing ' sleepless nights.

November 2!1. rn7!1 Wilkes Grapplers Club · Boosts Wrestling Spirits " The Grapplers Club is like a booster club for wrestling." slated John Reese. Wrestling Coach. "I've been at Wilkes for twenty-seven years. and I started what is now the club as a newsletter so I could keep in touch with old wrestlers. People who can't get back to the area enjoy reading the newsletter. Then. the local people asked me if it would be possible to form some type of club ." Actually. the club · has been established for about fifteen years. and the newsletter reaches about 275 people. Of these 275 people. between fifty and seventy - five pay dues of $25 per year. This membership dues entitles the member to a free pass to all wrestling meets and social events. The dues are used to many purposes. one of which includes contributing to a scholarship for wrestlers . The dues are also used towards printing the newsletter and programs for the me~. a bus trip to another wrestling meet. and parents day for wrestlers and their parents. which includes a buffet and social hour. Reese stated. however. that the Grapplers Club has not been financially active for the fifteen years it has been in existence. The Grapplers Club also holds fund raising events to raise money for wrestling scholarships. One of these was the recent Old-Timers Meet held on Saturday. November 17. They also back and support the wrestling team and help uphold interest. The Newsletter plays an important role in the Club also. It brings news of the Wilkes Wrestling Team to former members who are not presently in the area. Mr .. Reese commented. " Most of them like to find out what's happening currently at Wilkes. A lot of people are in: lerested and follow it." The. newsletter comes out five l imes a year. three times during the seasn Jnd two times in the off-season. The Grapplers Club itself is composed of a good number of alumni. ilUt local citizens are encouraged lo ,oin . There is a meeting held in the . :ieginning of the year. late :-eptember - early October. and about three other meetings are scheduled throughout the year. Although only about fifteen lo twenty people actually attend the meetings. Reese stressed the good interest the alumni have in the club and newsletter.

Liaaits Co-Op Cre~its Allowed In a recent announcement. the Commerce and FinanceDepartment has decided to limit credit given to Business Administration or Accounting majors involved in the Cooperative Education Program. The department has decided to grant three credits which can be used as free elective credits . Prior to this decision. Commerce and Finance majors could take up to twelve credits in the Cooperative Education program . According to the memo distr ibuted by Dr. Howard Williams. acting chairman of the department. the faculty's unanimous decision was based on several factors. One factor was that accounting internships are given three credits for their wor~ which lasts from 8 to 12 -weeks. Another reason given in the statement was that night courses are available to the student who has either an internship or a cooperative education job. so it is possible for these students l o receive more than the three credits from their off-campus experience. Al so given as a reason fo the decision was the belief that ~OTl('E There will be a meeting of all spring l!ll!O student teachers on Tuesday . December -1, 1!17!1, in the Mezzanine of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Preforming Arts from II a.m. to 12 noon . If you are planning to student teach this coming year you must attend this meeting. some students may be using cooperative educat ion credits as a way to avoid cours•~s outside of the Commerce and Finance cur. riculum. Finally. the memo state,: that at other schools with 1 cooperative education program. no credit is given for co-op experienct . Robert . Koester. director of the Cooperative Education program. stressed. "Cooperative Education is not just a tool to get credits. the student gets valuable experience which is good for his career as well as his classroom learni11!;." He further noted that a student involved in the program must submit weekly reports as well as a term project. similiar lo a research paper on his experience. This Commerce and Finance ' department decision is an interim policy with a permanent policy to be decoded on later. Other departments have not changed their policy in regard to cooperative education credit with advisor approval. In other departments. a student may earn six credits in his or her major as well as six elective credits. with departmental approval. The interim policy oi granting three credits will not affect students enrolled in the program this fall. It will . however. be put into effect with the start or the spring semester.

Page :1 Guest Columh, Have you noticed that classes are getting smaller as the semester progresses'' II could be because many students are changing their major in mid-semester. They are giving up their Accounting and Engineering and taking up Space Invaders 101 . As_ the_ semester _goes on. the game room of the Student Union Building is gammg m popularity . It is nothing for students to skip their lunch and head upstairs for some Flash or a quick game of German Football (Fooseball i. It is almost as common to see someone cut class because he has a good game going on the Space Invaders machine. With the increase in popularity_of this game in particular. long lines form behind the machine and you might have a ten or fifteen minute wait lo gel lo the machine. Then. if you are good. it takes about five to ten minutes before you finally lose. Let's face it faculty. your classes interfere with our games. However. the administration has come up with a way lo make this situation profitable for the college . It hasn 't been formally announced yet. but next fall. Game Room will be listed as an elective for the fall semester. The reasoning for this move is simple. The average student spends about a dollar day l n the game room. Over a semester this comes out to between • seventy lo one hundred dollars. However. by making it an elective and offering three credil.s for it. they can charge two hundred and twenty-five dollars for the semester. Get the picture. a big money maker for the school. If the course is popular enough. there is talk of making it into a major. But that is still in the future. The only drawback lo this scheme is what can you do with a degree in Space Invaders '? I _don't have the answer to that question but I can tell you where you might fmd it. Head upstairs in the S.U .B. and ask someone who seems to be spending more time there than they do in class.

First Siegfried Productio11 · The Wilkes Theater will present " When You Comin' Back. Red Ryder?". powerful and exciting drama directed by Jay Siegfried. on December 6th through 8th at the Dorothy Dickson Darle Center for the Performing Arts. The play takes place in a diner in sleepy south'e r New Mexico. where an array of characters has gathered on a Sunday morning. Into the diner comes a cruel but charismatic character named Teddy, who proceeds to terrorize and brutalize all those who have gathered there. Teddy walks into the other character lives and becomes the catalyst who causes many confrontations and realizations among those present in the diner. Throughout the play there are references co past American heroes including Western heroes such as Roy Rogers and baseball hero. Mickey Mantel. Teddy holds up these past heroes for everyone to see and then topples them with the realization that all the heroes are gone. Siegfried sees the play as a true depiction of the American culure. America. like the characters in the play . has been pushed and shoved by just about every country since World War II and has continually backed off until it has been backed into a corner and must fight or give in. He believes the recent Iranian incident is one example of this. Siegfried has compared the play to Sherwood Anderson's "Petrified Forest" and Peter Bogdonovich 's " The Last Picture Show" and sees the same ideas running through them. The play is set in 1969. but was written around 1974. which makes it a very recent play . It received the Off Broadway and Circle Critics awards in 1974. T,he playwright a --••J...- contains such elements as action. drama. heroism and emotional conflict which combine' to make the production a gripping experience. The cast, in order of appearance. includes: Chris Lonstrup as Stephen. Adele Tavella as Angel. John . Salwitz as Lyle. Mike Breakstone as Clark. Tara Buckingham as Clarisse. Bill Turcan as Richard . Paul Kerrigan as Teddy and Donna Pioppi as Cheryl. Direction is by Jay Siegfried and set design by Klaus Holm, with a building and running crew made up of Wilkes students. Mark Meddoff is still teaching theater courses in a college in New Mexico. Siegfried believes that college students will be able to identify with and understand the play. All the characters except one are young people and should be easily identified with by the audience. The values and conflicts dealt with in the play are modern and the situations are tense and action packed. There are no small parts and no throw away roles. Every part creates an artistic challenge and has an important function in the overall production. _The play also 'Phoenix' To Perform At Christmas Party those planning to participate in the Christmas Program at Retreat, this Thursday night at 8 o'clock on the first floor of Weckesser Hall .

Page~. The Beacon, November :!!I. l!li!I Please D~n't Litter This year' s annual Gong Show held Saturday. November 17. 197!l was presented to a Standing Room Only crowd in the CPA. The general reaction to the £1-iow was poor. Even the sponsors o( the show. Student Government's Social Committee. feel that the idea of the show has been worn out on this campus and should be discontinued. We agree. What bothers us. however. is the total lack of respect towards the college property exhibited by some of those who attended. In the CPA itself, many beer bottles and cans were found and trash was scattered about. In the men's rest room a paper towel dispenser was emptied leaving a mess and a metal partition was bent pulling its bolts from the wall. Participants in the show apparently had little respect for the theater, too. The backstage area was cluttered with beer bottles, cigarette butts. and beverage spills. The dressing rooms which are "located downstairs beneath the stage were left in much the same condition. Al Groh, Director of Cultural Affairs, seriously considered banning Student Government from sponsoring such events in the CPA again. Last year's Gong Show was held at the Ircm Temple located on North Franklin Street in the city. Due to the condition of that f?cility after that show SG w~ told that they would not be able to sponsor the show there in the future. Due to the nature of the show we realize that a rowdy crowd is usually drawn. Let's face it, half the fun of the show is the audience reaction to the acts. However. there is a difference from being enthusiastic to going bonzo. Respect for college property comes first. This problem simply could have been a lack of sufficient security for the CPA. Whether this was SG's responsibility or the Theater Department's is still another question to answer. Events like the Gong Show are good alternatives to add to the social life of Wilkes but if this means destroying school pmperty maybe other alternative should be considered. Gooooo Wilkes!!! It doesn't seem like it, but it has been one year since those "wild and crazy" King's College - Wilkes College men's basketball games. Last year for the first time in 25 years the two local colleges met in a regular season game and the Monarchs came away with two wins. winning at home by two and here by four. On Wednesday, December 5, 1979. the two teams will meet again at the King's Gym on North Main Street. Like last year the game will be televised on WBRE at 8 p.m. Last year the King's Gym was packed with Monarch supporters. We would like to see a lot of Wilkes faculty and students on hand at the game. It is the battle for the "City" championships. Win or lose, the two teams will square off again on January 23, 1980 here.

While it is unquestionably acceptable for a critic to deem a performance "horrible". I feel that he or she also has a responsibility to the reader to justify his or her claims. It is also a critic 's duty to take into account the intentions of the author and cast in their presentation as well as their subsequent dramatization. Margaret Scholl 's review of the Gong Show fails on both these counts. I refer specifically to her review of "Organized Noise " . of which I was a member. It was our intention to be. musically. "horrible" . thereby satirizing the current wave of junk or .punk rock music . We desired. simply. to make you laugh and friends in the audience convinced me that we indeed. for the most part. served our purpose: wasn't fun and humor the basic intention of presenting the Gong Show? Anyone who did not find himself or herself amused by our act could not be assumed to be a member of · the "norm" group of college students; it was our desire to perform for our "peers." Had we known that a Junior Rex Reed was going to review us based on extracollegiate standards and values. we would not have bothered to perform at all. To those of you who said that our act was enjoyable. "Thank you"! To those who thought our performance to be "horrible'', I can only apologize that we were not more explicit in stating our central satirical intention. without which you obviously could not see through the facade. I do not question Ms. Scholl's right to criticize a performance as she sees fit; I only criticize her fnr judging "Organized Noise" from such a shallow perspective.

The Beacon. November 2!1. mm Album Review With this Christmas season here, there are so many new albums the buyer has to choose from that instead of one album review. five reviews might be a help in selecting presents for those people "who have everything." THE OUTLAWS - "EYE OF THE STORM" America 's "Guitar Army " is back better than ever. ··Eye of the Storm " contains some of the best guitar work you will hear anywhere by anyone. Gone from ihe Outlaws is the country flavored sound of earlier albums. Replacing it is some of the finest rock and roll around. Some of the highpoints of the album include "Miracle Man". a song written by Elvis Costello, " It's All Right" and ''Come on and Dance." · Throughout the entire album. the intensity never wavers . Great music for parties and other evening activities. MOLLY HATCHET-"FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER". After an enormously successful debut LP. Molly Hatchet is back with an album even better than·the first. This album contains some of the best rock to come out of Florida since the Outlaws. Some have compared their sound to Lynard Skynard. but Molly Hatchet has a sound all their own. It can best be classified as some of the best rock you have ever heard. The guitar wor~ is incredible. * Best cuts are the tit-le cut. which if released might be a successful single. and "One Man's Pleasure" . and "Jukin' City", two cuts which really show what Molly Hatchet is all about. Watch for them at the John Long Center. in Scranton, on December 2. Tickets may still be available. TOTO - "HYDRA" This , the band's second album. although less commercial than the first. continues the style Toto has become famous for. "A ll Us Boys" is a typical Toto rocker along the same vein as "Hold the Line" and "I 'll Supply the Love". The rest of the album is a little different. The group is taking new and different directions with the rest of the album. There are rhythm and blues styled songs, something Toto has never attempted. The album is an original effort. and is very well done. If you liked Toto's first album , you might be a little disappointed with " Hydra". but don 't use it as a frisbee right away . Listen to the album first. It is really excellent. FOG HAT - "BOOGIE MOTEL" From the opening bars of ··somebody's Been Sleepin' in My Bed " . the listener knows he has picked up a Foghat classic . The album may be their best effort since " Fool For the City." It contains some really good rock in the Foghat Tradition of slide guitar and scorching vocals . My favorite cut is " Somebody 's Been Sleepin' in My Bed." There are, however. many other excellent cuts, including the title and the single "Third Time Lucky", which may help otherwise disappointing sales of a very good album . TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS "DAMN THE TORPEDOES" This album should finally establish Tom Petty as one of the premier acts in today 's music. The album contains some very fine hard rock . Along with Petty's unique vocals, some fine writing is made evident throughout the album. Petty should be recognized as a leading force as we approach the eighties. This album should once and for all make him a headline attraction . Listen to the cut "Refuge". It could be considered one of the classics of progressive music. because it is that good. The rest of the album is also excellent. and will definitely sell well. If someone you know really likes progressive music. tell him or her to give this album a shot. They won't be sorry!

Self-Study Report Prepared For Ea,aluation "We found Wilkes College better than the self-study portrayed it to be" is what Dr. Robert Ackerman. Chairman of the Middle States Association evaluation team . said after the reaccreditation committee reviewed the self-study report prepared by the college and toured the campus during their vis it. November4-7. The report contains a brief history of the college before preceeding into eight chapters including : Institutional Goals and Objectives. The Student Body. Instructional Programs. The Faculty. Governance al Wilkes. Institutional Facilities. Educational Resources and Financial Resources. Concerning the Institutional Goals and Objectives of the college. seven specific objectives were announced which ranged from maintaining the character of a small col lege. to strengthening lht!' concept of community service. leadership and interaction. One of the objectives. to reduce attrition and help students complete their college work. deals with the decline in the verbal skills of entering freshmen. and at least some graduating seniors. According to the self study report introduction of remedial courses and the Act IOI program s are attempts by the college to." . . . pro- STAIRCASE LOUNGE PlTTSTON -PLAZ\ A_ j ) TONIGHT BEER BASH vide academic opportunity tor students who show promise despite deficiencies in thei r academic or cultural background and-or for those who ha·ve serious financial problems.'' In dealing with The Student Body. the self-study report has noted that the number of commuting ·students who attend the college has decreased. According to the report,". . . this is a resul t of the successful development and expansion of the Luzerne coun ty Community College and the fact that three Catholic col leges in the area. King's. Misericordia. and Scranton University. have become co-educational institutions within the past decade." Within the last three years. resident enrollm ent has increased greatly. Because of this. the report stated that. " . .. about half the student body now represents more.distant areas of Pennsylvania and the northeastern United States." In an attempt to get extended feedback from the student body , the college initated a " Student Opinion Survey" which was developed by the American College Testing Service. After contacting about 25 percent of the college population. the l wo areas of greatest concern to the students were the quality of food service. and availability of offstreet parking. According to the study. "These topics have been of concern to the administration for some time and gradual improvements have been implemented over a long time period."

In the section of the report dealing with The Faculty. it was noted that out of the 155 full-time Faculty. 84 are tenured. with 32 holding the rank of full professor. There are 44 associate professors. 68 assistant professors and 11 members maintaining the rank of instructor. A December 1978 survey of 133 fac ulty members revealed that the highest percentage of tenured personnel were in the fine arts program, and that. 35 percent of the faculty responding were involved in scholarly activity and the same percent published in the past three years." organizations . "Generally. administrative policies and decisions are made by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the four administrative heads. who meet with the president regularly and frequently ." The Board of Trustees. which is legally responsible · for the college. works with various committees and the president to establish policy. provide financial resources to maintain educational programs and evaluate the effectiveness of the institution. The Institutional Facilities section of the sel f-study ,describes various aspects of the many buildings on campus. It mentions cultural facilities such as the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts and the Sordoni Art Gallery, as well as identi- fying the significance of such instruments as the radio station. WCLH and the Manuscript. In addition. this section deals with residen ce halls, conditions of the facilities are discussed. food service. health service. and custodial. maintenance and security services. Educational Resources of the college were determined to be involved with eight sub-topics including: Library. Computer Center. Cur· riculum Innovation. Academic Skills Center. Career Planning and Placement. Financial Aid. and Athletics and Physical Education . The report noted that the library exceeds the requirements suggested by the Association of College and Research Libraries. It also pointed out the need for more finan cial aid. a bigger staff. and better equipment in order for the· Academ ic Skills Center to excel. Concluding this section. the report stressed the need for an analysis " . . . to determ ine whether or not the College can afford or should support the many separate activities in intercollegiate competition ." Concluding the self-study is a chapter on Financial Resources . It describes in detail the budget cycle of the college which extends from June I through May 31. The section ends with a discussion of the Management of the Endowment Fund . as well as the attraction of New Resources which the Board of Trustees has urged the college to expand alumni relations. · The final part of the self-study contains numerous graphs and tables which correlate with the preceeding chapters . The self-study report totals 106 pages plus an ap· pendix . Anyone wishing to take an indepth look at the study may do so at the library where a copy is available for reference .

Iranian government should be more willing to negotiate with the United States and less rigid in their demands. Tom~~ l!rnsrvite--The situation in Iran is one which should have never been allowed to progress to its current point. At fi rst notification of the siege: this government should have allowed a contingent of daring enthusiast to immediately embark upon a rescue mission . Valuable time was lost. which prevented such an action. since we had been previously assured of diplomatic safety by the Iranian government. If our main concern is the safety of the remaining hostages. diplomacy is our only course of action . F'orce will only serve to cause their deaths. If they should be harmed. though Iran will suffer greatly under the military might of the United States. !\like i\lc('arrie--The economical freeze that President Carter put on Iran's capital investments here in the United States was the most . strategic move he could have made next to inciting war. If the hostages were not going to be released his next step would be to cut off food exports to Iran . This might cripple the Iranian nation. Gina Whitr--I feel the Iranian people are going a bout the situation the wrong wa y. They should use more diplomatic procedures than result to terrorism . Gino lhlewski--It 's about time our government officials took a stand and said the heck with pleasing the whole world and worried more about restoring dignity to the greatest country in the world. Just the fact that a country as small and un-powerful as Iran has coused such great embarrassment to us is bad enough . We must now set a precedence for the rest of the world by making an example and bring Iran to its knees. Right now. it seem that the proposed economic wa r is perhaps the best solution. However. if we had a man in the oval office with some guts rather than a mouthful of teeth. he would have seized the opportunity at the beginning and invaded Iran with a show of face the likes of which the world has never seen and now it would be up to us who would be giving the orders rather than some band or militant gypsies . Murphy's Law ................. . If anything can go wrong, it will . Corollaries: 1. Nothing is as easy as it looks. 2. Everything takes longer than you think. 3. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. 4. If you percieve that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong. and circumvent these, then a fifth way will p-romptly develop. / 5. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. 6. Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first. 7. Every solution breeds new problems. 8. It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious. 9. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw . 10. Mother na ture is a bitch. THE MURPHY PHILOSOPHY: Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse. MURPHY 'S CONSTANT: MATTER WILL BE DAMAGED IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO ITS VALUE .

Schulman Receives Joint Appoinhnent In English And Communications With a joint appointment in Communications and English. Dr. Norma Schulman is the newest addition to the Department of Language and Literature. Dr. Schulman feels that theory and content are important in any communications curriculum. She sees the program here as good training for students planning to enter the communications field. She · continued that the requirements in computer science is very p_ractical, especially in this age of advanced technology. Literature courses also help involve a communications students in a broader understanding of message production and its effect on the attitudes of the public. In fact. Dr. Schulman sees the fields of literature and communications as related and she hopes courses that span both disciplines will be offered in the future . Although a good education is important. Dr. Schulman believes that the purpose of college is to supplement experience and not supplant it. Not everything can be done in college and some training should be left for after graduation. This technical experience can only be realistically learned on the job, stated Dr. Schulman. Writing is also a very vital tool and Dr. Schulman feels the Communications Studies curriculum allows a student extensive practice . -- in writing while at the same time provides intensive training in the skill. When asked why she came to Wilkes College, Dr. Schulman stated that she is partial to a broad program for liberal arts education, such as the one offered here. Because of her joint appointment, Dr. Schulman will be teaching English and Communications courses in the future. Presently she is teaching several sections of composition only because she became part of the faculty after scheduling had been completed. There was also a need for a composition teacher this semester. One of the courses Dr. Schulman will teach in the spring is Introduction to Broadcasting. She will also be part of a faculty team which will teach the senior seminar. Com·munications in an Open Society, next fall. Dr. Schulman's credentials include a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and a Master of Science degree in Broadcasting from Boston University. She has also earned her Ph.D . from Tufts University in English and American Literature. Her areas of specialization are Creative Writing, Communications, Twentieth Century English and American Literature, and . Shakespearian Drama. She has also had several critical works published. Dr. Schulman sees communications as a growing field with many opportunities for college graduates in a variety of areas of specialization. She hopes more students will also see the value of the program .

What started as a "this could be the year" season with high hopes. ended on a downer· as the Colonel gridders dropped their last two outings (21-7 to Juniata and 8-7 blunder to Susquehanna I to finish the campaign with 4-4 slate. Well it wasn ' t a losing year. but it wasn 't a winning one either. It was as the record indicates a .500 year. You win some. you lose some. Here we were four up and four down. The Colonels of Rollie Schmidt will lose a lot via graduation as almost the whole defense moves on to better things. Two of the defensive bright spots of 1979. which will be back next year include junior defensive end Ed Mollahan and sophomore safety Rob Luby. Luby set a school record this season with nine interceptions. Anoth er school record was set defensively. thi s one for th e most qua rter back sacks in a season .

The old Student Union Building will also be removed soon. but a definite date has not been set. Demolition Of Former Commons Scheduled For C.h ristmas Break The demolition of the old Commons by an area contractor has been scheduled to take place during the 1979-1980 Christmas vacation . Dr. Andrew Shaw. Director of the Institute of Regional Affairs. reported that plans for the demolit!on of the building were initiated once the site of the new Student Center Facility was chosen and confirmed. Shaw noted a few reasons for the destruction of the Commons other than the completion of the new center including the poor condition of the second floor. and the high cost of upkeeping the building. He added. "We' re concerned about the constructional integrity of the facility. . ." which ultimately influen ced the administrations final decision concerring the future of the structur.e. After compiling the results of a student questionnaire answered by over 500 students. Dr. Shaw said ii was evident that the area occupied by the Commons could be put to better use. The director described the area as a potential showcase of the campus. and pointed out that the destruction of the building would fit right into the future redevelopment plans of the college. When asked to comment on the future of Church Hall. the structure across from the Commons. Shaw stated that it will definitely be removed from the campus at some future date. Until the exact time of the buildings demolition is decided upon. it will continue to serve in its present capacity as an addition classroom. but no college funds will be spent to upgrade the facility . Although mentioning nothing definite. Shaw touched upon a few concepts of the college's proposed redevelopment study. One aspect which Shaw emphasized was the importance of an attractive courtyard between Kirby Hall and the library for student interaction. Though no details of the study could be discussed until after it is presented to the Board of Trustees on December 14. an analysis of the study will appear in a series of articles in the BEACON next semester . Peter Steve For the first time in two years the Judicial Council will convene to hear an appeal by two students who were suspended from the college for the spring semester after found guilty of cheating. From its inception in 1974-75. the Judicial Council was set up to " handle cases where college policies were breached" states George Ralston. Dean of Student Affairs. It was developed through members of the Board of Trustees. According to the college handbook. the purpose of the Council is "to provide an opportunity for hearing for students charged with violations of college regulations" and "to promote students. faculty and administrative participation in the hearing and decision making process." " Some felt it was too sophisticated." said Ralston. He continued by saying that it was not successful and was abolished in 1977 after action upon 6-8 cases. At that time. Ralston explained the college reverted back to having the discipline cases handled by Dean's Council concerning all matters. The Judicial Council was left as a body where students could make appeals concerning action taken against them by the Dean's Council . This council has been vacant since 1977 due to the fact that there has been no occasion to use it. explained Ralston . President Capin will be making appointments to the council this week for the first time in over a year. He will choose two faculty members from a list of four recommended by the faculty. two members of the Dean's Council from a list of four recommended by the Dean's Council and three students (who have a junior or senior class standing and a minimum GPA of 2.3 ) from a list of six recommended by Student Government. A council clerk will also be appointed by the President from three additional names recommended by Student Government. . This particular case occured during October. A sophomore Computer Science major completed an exam for a friend of his. a senior accounting major, in Mr. Ross Mantione's C.S. 124 Cobol class . Mantione was not there when the test was given but the proctors for the exam discovered the cheating after the tests were turned in. Upon action from the Dean's Council the two students were suspended from the college for the spring semester of 1980. They will be allowed to be readmitted to the college in the fall of 1980. Ralston said that Dean's Council has "never handled a case like this before." Simple cheating of one student copying answers from a fellow student in class have been handled many times. He feels that this is an "open and shut case" since they admitted their guilt but any student who is suspended is eligible for an appeal. "The Math and Commerce & Finance departments recommended the suspension" said Raison and added that this is a very serious case. The hearing should take place some time this week or early next week. Finishing Touches Completed---------.------- SC Bar Now Ready For Operation The bar in the basement of the new student center is now operational and completed with the exception of gates on two sides of the bar. The bar. which has a white marblized formica countertop and a brown marblized formica base. is tucked into a corner with a wall separating its two serving areas. Student Cent~r Director Dave Kerek noted that the bar has a capacity of two kegs with room for two additional kegs in storage. The bar has two carbon dioxide pressurized taps and three kinds of beer are currently purchased from a Miller distributer: Miller. Miller Light. and Lowenbrau . Kerek noted that the center is planning to get its own taps so that different varieties of beer can be served . Also. plans are being made to decorate the bar with antique mirrors. hanging lamps. beer signs. and other decorations. The center also has its own bartenders and the first party was held Thanksgi ving weekend. Kerek commented that "mechanicall y everything went fine." He added that the new bar makes beer flow much more easily since ·there is no more pumping the kegs . "It makes everything run a lot smoother". continued Kerek ... It keeps the lines of people down and makes freer·access to the beer. It makes better parties." Kerek concluded. " It makes the whole place look a little classier." Louis Czachor BAR Ii'.

Moffatt also reported that cigarette machines and a juke box will be placed on the first floor of the Center and that several games including chess and checkers are available to the students on the second floor. Also. SCB will be looking into securing the pool table from the New Men's Dorm for the Center and that all members of SCB will receive free admittance to any party held in the Student Center providing that the SCB members work during the party. Under unfinished business. tickets for the Christmas Party will go on sale next week for $6.00 in the Student Center. The party will be held at the Woodlands and the band Phoenix is expected to perform. A buffett dinner of lasagna , chicken. various vegetables and dessert will be served. Another topic of major importance brought up at the meeting was the winter weekend pl anned for February 8. 9 and 10. In conjunction with the 1980 Olympics, Wilkes will sponsor a mock olympiad . It is expected that about 20 teams comprised of male and female Wilkes College students will each represent a major country in areas of volleyball. speed skating, " lraying". and other areas of compcti, lion. There will be awards given and proceeds from this event will go to help defray the costs of sending our athletes to the Olympics. Olympic T-shirts will be available for anyone who wants one. The meeting concluded with the council passing a few decisions: CC will be taking out a $20 ad from the Letterwomen's Tournament and there will be no CC meetings scheduled during the Christmas vacation nor during any time that school has been officially cancelled. Everyone is also reminded that there will be a Christmas Caroling practice this Thursday at 7:00 in Weckesser Hall to prepare for the Christmas Party at Retreat on December 10. A 47 passenger bus and extra vans if necessary will be provided for transportation. Darlene Schaffer Christmas Party Discussed '\ At mc•s Sunday night meeting. the cc-me Social Committee's J' decisions concerning the Christmas Party were discussed. Chairmen of the Party, Shep Wilner and Bill Miller, reported that the Social Committee had voted to have drinks at reduced prices at the Christmas Party to be held December 13 at the Woodland's Inn <formerly the Treadway J. However. several members of mc•s Executive Council reported that response to the decision indicated that many people seemed more in favor of having free beer and wine available at the party, with mixed drinks at full price. Mike Sibilia, me Vice President. suggeste_ d that the ticket price be raised from $6.00 to $6.50 to accommmodate the extra expenf " of having free beer and wine. me ,tlso offered to provide more money for the Christmas Party budget.

It was also reported that the Student Center will probably not work through just one distributor to obtain beer for parties held in the center, but wil1 instead purchase its own taps for the bar. This will allow organizations sponsoring parites to purchase any type of beer they want.

The usual ' frequenters of the square night life. however. can quickly distinguish between those who are really just on an errand and those who are there for other purposes. namely to find some action . It was interesting to see that of those who are left to find some of this infamous square nightlife. most are really just teenagers with nothing better to do on a Friday night. or so it would seem . A Male Point oF View The regular square traffic. those who don't ride around the square for three hours at a time. seemed to be somewhat surprised to see a male standing on the corners which must usually be inhabited by shoppers and housewives carrying home their purchases from the local department stores. The idea. however. must not bt that unusual considering the reaction from some of those automobiles who ceaselessly circled the newly renovated downtown park. At first glance. one would not think much of someone pulling irito a pull-in spot on the square. simply because you have seen it done so many times before. When the car is unfamiliar and you are the reason the car is in that pulling spot. that seemingly innocent sleet design takes on a new dimension. It became clear quickly that in order to understand the rules of this game. eye con tact 'is a vital part. Drivers who were staring and had their stare returned . were back in that pull-in area the next time around that oval. Those whose stare was never answered soon started disappearing from · their usual routes. · As far as the types of square regulars that passed by me on Friday. there was really no one stereotypical person. who is there looking for his part of this scene. High school girls in used cars were side by side with older men in Cadillacs. yet after a short time they all had one thing in com mon. Every car had its' occupants whose eyes were glued on those solitary NIGHT TIME ON THE SQUARE-Public Square is usually deserted at night except for a few ";iction seekers." figures who stand in front of the display windows or the doorways of the various stores. Yet just as if those figures were the mannequins who fill those display windows. the occupants stare just as if you are the merchandise who cover those lifeless forms in the window. The eye of those occupants are something one soon does not forget. Although most of those who frequented those pull-in areas on the square. soon left if their advance was not answsered, some were more persistant. The same cars returned time after time. reappearing sometimes after long absences. Although some of thsoe who stared were women. most who stopped and persisted were men. For example. one persistant occupant a late model car. got out and opened his trunk. revealing whips and chains to signify of his attraction to this reporter. Obviously. the gay community has come onto the square in search of their part of the nightlife as well as those of the straight society. A Female Point of View As a different as night and day is the action and total mood of the square from approximately 10 p.m . to 12 a.m. The square and surroundings are practically deserted with the exception of a few intoxicated individuals and curious onlookers. As I walked slowly around the area surveying the scene. a beat-up -~fl sfera111'1111Js11 II :!IIIHIIIIUIHllllllllffllllllllll-mllllllll = I i= = § i i i i ~~ PIONEER· crown • 1.1.C.

Cltl-lllClll L age-old line of "Do ya wanna ride " resulting to obscene gestures to get their point across. Another Female Point of View Most people head for Public Square on a Friday or Saturday night expecting to find a lot of action . Some joke about its fame. calling it the " Hayna 500," only a place to go for those who have nothing better to do than ride around the square for hours on end. Surprisingly enough, many people do just that - drive around Public Square hollering to others in cars or attempting to approach those walking or sitting near the street. " Action" can be found on the square, and one does not have to wait very long to find it. For the average female walking on Public Square, various approaches are used to make contact. One man parked his car in a lot adjacent to the Martz terminal and proceeded to get out of his car and follow me on foot around the square . Once I made it known that I was not alone, however, the man TH( S'fRft I HOUSE INC 7,1 WYO~ING AV KINGSTON L pickup truck and its driver watched my every move as I waited for the " WALK " sign to flash . He pulled around the corner. stopped. and beeped his horn. This is more or less a way of signifying to this reporter that he WJS interested. After about six corners of greenlights the driver gave up on me and found another willing partici_pant who was approximately 14 or 15 years old . Walking in and around the barren square. police can be seen all over the area at times and at other times not one could be found . Rarely did a cop stop to say anything. No matter who was crusing the city streets whether it be an elderly couple or a single male. everyone stared at the lone figures circling the square. One certain area that seemed to attract a lot of action was near a major department store. Standing around tile area or seated on the benches provoked quite a bit of attention and action. The spot made it quite easy for someone in the right lane to quickly swerve over and make his pitch. One curious trio seemed to wonder "why" I was sitting on the square at that tie of the evening. Without much ado, the occupants of the vehicle took "NO" for an answer and left. There was of course another incident and I might add the final incident in which two males would not take "N O" for an answer. They persisted for about 15 minutes appealing their case of "going partying." Everything from beer and whiskey to pot was offered as enticement. Although everything was refused one felt tfie need to exit the car and try further to convince me of "the fun I would have." After a threatening and frightening statement the male noticed that I was not alone and upon the encouragement of his friend quickly got back into the car and pulled away. Other minor incidents scattered through out the night included the WILKES-BARRE PLASMA CENTER Free physical exam by our physician! ! EDITOR'S NOTE: This story was written after 7 Beacon staff members were involved in an undercover investigation of the night life at the square. New Stereo Purchase Discussed By SG At Student Government's meeting on Monday. December 3, 1979 the prospects for a stero for the new student center building were discussed. SG President Dave Blumfield announced that the stereo would be purchased soon and that installation will hopefully be completed by the beginning of next semester. Shep Willner questioned Blumfield as to what situation existed concerning the acqusition of a large-screen , TV . Blumfield responded that •·funds are not coming in as quickly as I had hoped·. so for the moment. the TV is put aside" since he thinks the stereo is more important. Blumfield announced that he is looking into the possibility of getting a few concerts for next semester. He noted that he will do most of the planning for the concerts during the break betweeh semesters. No fund requests were made and Faculty Committee Reports were tabled until next week's meeting. It was also announced that next week SG 's meeting will begin one-half hour early -- at 6:00 instead of 6:30. Also. the budget for next semester will be discussed next week.· The Film Committee announced that " Godspell" will be shown next Friday, December 14. 1979 in the CPA at 7:00 and 9:30.

Another incident involved a man offering me money, with two policemen standing approximately 50 feet away. After some persua ~ive talking, which did not succeeu, he drove away only to join the other cars circling the square. While sitting on a bench in front of a department store, I was approached by a man in a car, offering me "a warm bed and good pot" if I would accompany him "for a ride." · When I refused his offer, he persisted slightly and soon left. Others pulled their cars in front of me. motioned for me to join them in their cars. The remaining people either honked, shouted or whistled, but made no attempt at further communication.

Decembt-r 6. 1!17!1 At Shippensburg-- - -- - -- - - Debaters Take 4th Place copus by David Stahl Many students consider politics to be a remote institution influencing others ; however, recent state and national legislation effects the certainty of work study programs and the wages that colleges must pay. the disclosure of tests by testing services. and the level of state and federal grants. For instance, Pennsylvania senators tried to show their frugality by deleting $40 million from the $550 million work study program. The consequencess of a $1.5 million cut would have left 2,347 students without jobs. while a related cut in National Direct Student Loans would have left 3,620 students without loans. COPUS lobbied for the House of Representatives plan. which would have kept the appropriations at 1979 levels. When the two bodies met to resolve their differences, the Senate conceeded to the house's plan. The Institutional Assistance Grants bill. if passed. would raise the limit of Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Association grants from $400 to $450. The $400 was set in 1974, and has rarel y been fully funded. Because of inflation's effect on tlie dollar, COPUS hopes to get the limit raised and funded to $6, which would be a $200 benefit to students. If a Truth in Testing bill passes, it would require testing services, such as SAT. ACT, and GRE, to supply a compy of test questions and corrected answer sheets to students requesting such information. Even though the bill may increase the cost of the tests, COPUS supports the bill. which would treat test takers as consumers. Testing services influence the destiny of students, yet test takers are not allowed to scrutinize the test itself. or the mistakes they made. A national bill, the Reauthorization of Higher Education Act <HR 159"2), effects Basic Education Opportunity Act, Student Education Opportunity Grant and college work study programs. HR 1592 increases the maximum BEOG and SEOG grants, but these levels mean little without proper funding. Therefore, COPUS strongly supports adequate appropriations. Regarding the work study program, the bill will have a profound effect. First, it increases the authorization levels of the program, which may open up more jobs. Second, a provision in it prohibits institutions from paying sub-minimum wage. As of February 1978. 900 colleges were paying 1ess than $2.90 an hour. Finally, HR 1592 would withhold 3 percent of work study funds, and divert them to colleges that offer vocationally relevant work. COPUS encourages such legislation by sending letters of support to congressmen, and lobbying for the bills in Harrisburg and Washington. In the end, this may effect you . :\OTICE Thert• will ht• a nweling for lh1• St•nior ('lass n1•xl Tlmrsda.,·.

G.r oh's Office Ransacked Sometime between the evening of Saturday November 24th and Sunday the 25th the office of Alfred Groh was ransacked. On Sunday evening, a security guard found the door to the office ajar while he was making his rounds at the Center of the Performing Arts. He closed the door and reported the incident. Unfortunately Groh was in Chicago for the weekend and did not find out about the incident until he returned on Wednesday. He reports that his office was com. pletely overturned. "Everything in my office was strewn all over the floor and a picture on the wall was scribbled over with a crayon." he stated. He further said that he has not straightened the office yet and therefore does not know if anything was taken from it. The incident was reported to Dr. Andrew Shaw and · Dr. Thomas Kelly as well as the police. According to Groh this is the fifth time in about a five year period that his office has been broken into. He reports that in the past he has had things stolen from his office such as slides from the shows. photographs and books on the theater.

Berryman, Department Cha) rman . .. In its six years of existence. it has undergone numerous changes and improvements, and is now in good shape." · Dr. Berryman went on to say that the changes included new course offerings, such as water quality and geology, which were added partly because of feedback from graduate students. Requirements in other departments, including the social sciences. were also changed to provide the student with a greater depth of background material. Basically, the department is set up in a three step approach. During the freshman and part of the sophomore years. students)work in basic sciences. such as math. chemistry, and biology.,. Students then progress to a core of courses in earth sciences. which include meteorology, oceanography, and geology. In the junior and senior years. the students are offered a choice. They can either go on to advanced earth sciences. or go on to environmental science. This type of foundation is built on the philosophy that the courses include applied knowledge and going step by step build up more knowledge. · Offerin both B.S. and B.A. C/,11d, ~,1,1,;,u . • • SNl'IIIISIONS COMPAIIY We accept M oster Charge & Visa 39 West Market Street Wilkes-Borre, PA 1970 1 Phone : 822-1333 Frge Parking At Hotel Sterling PATIKK -.an ona IEVIEI FISTEI 1111 CLIFFS IITES! degrees. the department incorporates ideas in the earth and environmental sciences. Both programs are highly interdisciplinary and include laboratory and field work. The Earth and Environmental Science Department employs the philosophy that there are two kinds of scientists: those who study. analyze, monitor, and test. These students ask what, how much. and where - and seek a B.S. degree. The other type is one who tries to change something or do something through legal and economical means. Students intrested in this work towards a B.A. degree. Dr. Berryman stressed, however, that although the B.A. degree is different froin the B.S. degree. it is not just a watered-down program . Dr. Berryman stated that most. . students prefer j ob-seeking after graduation. "Sixty percent of the students go directly into job's ; 20 percent go on to graduate school : and 20 percent do neither. They either gel married, work in their father's professor. whatever." He continued that their training apparently trains them for almost anything. There is a high percentage of jobs for graduate students : and all the students that have graduated from Wilkes have been · accepted in grad schools. As for job opportunities. Dr. Berryman stated that for the earth scientist with a B.S. degree. there is not much open. except in geology. However, there now are tremendous opportunities for jobs with oil companies. Generally. students looking for jobs in the area of oceanography or meteorology usually need advanced degrees. In the Environmental Sciences. a student with a B.S. degree has numerous job opportunities. Some former graduates from the Earth and Environmental Science Department currentl y hold many interesting and diverse jobs.

"There are a large number of transfers from other departments and colleges. usually at the junior level, " elaborated Dr. Berryman. All three of the faculty members are employed full-time. Besides teaching, these faculty members also write research articles. In the past six years, fourteen articles r:uvr~~f:.n published inprofessional Although there is no national accrediting society. the Pennsylvania education department recently granted a secondary teaching cerlificate for Earth and Space Science.

Compared to other colleges, Wilkes is the only college in the immediate area that offers this sort of program. "This is a plus for the school. Our program is different as it is highly interdisciplinary. All the sciences are in one department and this gives the student a broad view of the environment. '' Dr . Berryman continued that the approach is from a physical point of view, rather than a biological or ·ecological view. The Earth and Environmental Science CLub, formerly the CQmmittee for a Clean Environment, is a very proud club, and very impressive.- They've started some very worthwhile projects." One of these was a four year battle with Pennsylvania in an attempt to prevent the widening of River Street. By widening the street, it would take land and trees away from the River Common. This battle extended to the Supreme Court. Another project they started. and has now been instituted as a permanent practice by the Wilkes-Barre City Council, is an after-season Christmas tree chip-in. Residents turn in their old Christmas trees. which -are turned into sawdust. and made available to citizens free of charge. A third project which was initiated by the club has blossomed .

A grant was written to the federal government for $76,000, · in order to buy the land. This grant · was awarded. In fact, Dr. Berryman stated he received word that it appears the county expects to take possession of the land within the next month. With regard to the students of the department. Dr. Berryman said that almost every student goes through the same phases. " They come in as freshmen, ready to conquer the world and clean the whole environment of pollution. After awhile. they realize the difficulty and _go through a depressed, dejected stage. As seniors, they become dedicated to improve the environment. but from a more realistic point of view.

Page 6, The Beacon. December 6, l!li!I ''Grand Illusions'' This past weekend to the dismay of many people. the Molly Hatchet coocert scheduled for Scranton's John Long Center was cancelled due to sound equipment problems. After reviewing the record of our area concerning concert cancellations over the past year, this recent disappointment is right in tune. Remember the "Boston" concert at Kings you psyched yourself up for, only to be smacked with a doctor's excuse for the group not appearing. Or how about the "Jefferson Starship" performance which was called off because of poor ticket sales. And then there was ''The Stone's Show' ' at our own college that sold approximately six tickets before it was erased into oblivion. These cancellations were only surface wounds before "Molly Hatchet" delivered the final blow. What's a matter Wilkes-Barre-Scranton area? Have you lost your faith in local promoters or are you changing your interests to classical music? And how about you college and high school "concert committees," are you satisfied with filling your concert schedule with cancellations? Do you feel you are doing your job _by disappointing local fan~at the gate? Or isn't it your fault ? Maybe we should just forget rock concerts in our area and stick to Saturday versions of "Polka Joy land." Its about time somebody got their act together and realized what the true problem is. Our area·does not have a facility like the Spectrum and thus we cannot hold concerts with groups like " Boston," "Toto," or the "Rolling Stones" as a main attractions. Like a beginner in any field, we must start small and work our way up. But where do we start? According to local promoters. it is up to the "concert committees" to make the initial step towards improvement. Promoters stress that it is very important for a "concert committee" to find out who their audience wants to see (within reason of course. ) Compiled lists of newly established groups which will play in arenas the size of our local gymnasiums, would aid promoters in obtaining quality performers. By gathering the list from various polls throughout the year, satisfaction for everyone, including the fan, is surely guaranteed. For an area with a good representation of young people from numerous colleges and high schools, its sad to think that we must go to the movies to see a "live" concert. Its time our committees started to do the job they were established for. They must abandonded their ho-hum way of organizing a concert, and pursue new avenues of entertainment promotion. It seems that the strategy recommended by local promoters is as good as any, with these committees having nothing to lose. In any case, it will be interesting to see if our committees will allow future concerts like "Molly Hatchet" to be axed, or whether they will develop our area to accomodate "Starship" and "Stones." 0 West Germany and the Phillipines.

Is deportation? An editorial on such an important issue as Iran should provide analysis or take a position rather than expound ambigious ideas like patriotism.

To be honest. the gerbil and piranha are not that uncommon as far as pets go. but a tar antul a and an allig..rtor are. How many people do you know like to sleep in the same room with a spider. especially, one that is the size of a human hand ?

Thurman was a great conversa tion topic ." People j ust wouldn't believe I had a pet alligator . They thought I was kidding until they came up and saw for themsel ves. " he sa id. " At first.

" It wasn't until the last month or so that he finally got used to dorm life. I'm reall y gonna miss him ." Despite what people might think. having an alliagtor as a pet isn't very dangerous at all. Although Thurman would snap at strangers occasionally. he was as calm as could be when among fa miliar faces, One of the onl y drawbacks is that they are not the kind of pet you can let run around the room . Larry comments. "Only once did I let him out of his tank . As soon as he got on the floor he scampered off. I had a heck of a time trying to catch him again." Larry sighed and finished by saying.

Tanya Hallez. co-advisor tor TOR, states "l feel that it is a great service to the community. bringing holiday cheer to people who rarely see much enjoyment. It's our idea of advancing the Christmas spirit!" Dr. Joseph Bellucci is "pretty impressed and pleased with what the sorority is doing." 'Qle co-advisor continues. "The service organization serves a good purpose and their projects are exceUenl. " This afternoon about 50 goldenagers will enjoy a Christmas party complete with Santa Claus. Sal Alaimo, homemade baked ·goods and gifts to lift their spirits a bit. Chairman for the party is Mary Ann Dorman. assisted by Roberta Price and Connie Zelinski. "One thing I ha ve notked at Wilkes is th at students become involved in their academ ic professfons too late. " Mrs. Madeleine Ca rlin. instructor of accounting. emphatic ally states . She feels that students relate too late in their academic career to their intended profession. " Ther e must be more inter action between students and th eir respective faculty members. Students should participate in the organization which corresponds to their major." she continues. "participation is crucial to overcome this weakness ." Mrs. Carlin has been a member of the Wilkes faculty for a year now and speaks quite fondly of the college. " I'm glad I'm here! I enjoy teaching and the students are terrific I The response from the faculty is marvelous and I wouldn ' t leave even though I've had many offers from public accounting firms." the enthusiastic instructor replies . Another of Mrs. Carlin'_s duties besides teaching· at Wilkes is the Acco,unting Internship _ Program. which is now under her direction. She feels that there was a tremendous response from the participating firms . "We placed sixteen students as interns and have expectations of that number going higher next year . . It was an excellent first year as far as the reorganization is concerned." Mrs. Carliri proudly comments . With the way Mrs. Carlin has It costs no more to buy from the finest ... taken an acti ve interest in the teaching of accounting and the profession one would think it was her first love. But. it wasn 't " I started studying voice at the age of twelve. l began at the Boston University majoring in music ( voice l and la ter transferred to the Manhatten School of Music where I graduated with a Bachelor of Music Degree." she explains. She stopped performing when she was married in 1964. " Quite frankly. I was not good enough to continue performing. Even if I dedicated my life to it. I would never have been great." the attractive faculty member admits. Mrs. Ca rlin began at the State University of Buffalo in 1974 pursuing her Master in Business Adminstration Degree ; she later transferred to Temple where she received her degree in 1978. "l have a 64 credit M.B .A. because I had to take undergraduate courses first as a means of preparation for the graduate degree. " theprofessor continues. "I felt it was important to understand the business field and through luck I found something that I truly love. Those four years spent receiving my M .B.A . were the smartest thing l 've ever done 1' ' In today's world there seems to be the question of married women working and bringing up a family at the same time. Mrs. Carlin feels that her going to school and working has not hindered her two · children. only helped them . "When I was going to school my husband ( a doctor l was in a training program so we sat side by side studying. The children were small and we were in the home with them ; they grew up in a total academic environment which has helped them'' she explains. Mrs. Carlin thinks that it is are just more used to a man to man relationship and have to readjust their ways to a man and woman business world . Her advice to women entering the profession is " use your talents. show high motivation and be well informed . Once a woman shows that she ca n do the job. she is readily accepted." Mrs. Carli n adds on an ending note. ·'I have had no problems working wi th men in my career ''' i\largarel Scholl Madeleine Carlin -., 'First Olympiad' becoming a wa y of life today for the woman to work. She feels that she is rather fortunate that her famil y has accepted the fact that she is working full-time. "I don't feel that the family will suffer ; the expectations will just differ." the instructor strongly states. " It is fantastic to see how the accounting profession is changing. I see .it as becoming very dynamic and flexible." she comments with a broad smile . The accounting professor perceives that the methods used in accounting are changing. and demands on the accountant as far as liabilities are different. "I tell my students. you don 't want to do what everyone else can do. be special and go after any type of job in the accounting field. " Mrs. Carlin relates . As Mrs. Carlin flashes another smile. she explains the problems that women face in accounting. "Older men are doing the hiring and they are just uncomfortable with employing women . Some men actually will not travel with women; even in the clientprofessional relationship there is hesitation." She thinks that men Seen As Tlaenae For Weekend Although Winter Weekend is not until next semester, Student Government is busy planning the . eventful three days. The theme will be "Wilkes College First Olympiad '' . The Committee for the event is composed of Dave Blumfield, Marla Brodsky, Tim Ryan, and Diane Seech. All of the events during the weekend will be open to teams of 20 students consisting of 10 girls and 10 guys. Each team will represent a country . The weekend will begin on Friday. February 8. 1980 with opening ceremonies which will be a small scale Olympic Ceremony with a parade of teams representing countries, a torch carrier. and the release of some birds. Marla Brodsky stated that the weekend will be "full of events". including tug-of-war, ice skating, volleyball, cross-country skiing. a relay race, traying ( like sledding l, and an obstacle course. Other plans are being made including a beach party which will be held in the gym and a coffeehouse where the awards will be presented on the last day of the weekend . The Winter Weekend Committee is looking for as many people as possible lo work on the various events and plans. Marla Brodsky noted. "We are working real hard. This will be the best Winter Weekend there ever was ." The application deadline for "countries" is February 4. 1980. Each member of a team will be asked to donate $.50.

December 6. l!li!I Alumni Relations Institutes Many Programs New services designed to actively involve alumni in all aspects of the college are part of an expanding alumni relations program. According to Dr. Richard Rees, Director of Alumni Relations, this program has ·•two major focuses : The college's service to alumni, and the alumni's services to the college." These two focuses involve a variety of activities including. clubs. visitation programs, career assistance and recruitment of new students. The college serves its alumni in several ways, but many of the activities are socially oriented. For instance, a Tailgater's Club has been formed, whose memebers meet at the home football games in the fall. They usually get together about two hours before a game to socialize and eat a picnic lunch in the tailgating area near Ralston Field. According to Dr. Rees, this activity is becoming quite popular among the alumni. and about 40 people met before the Homecoming game in October. Several alumni services ha~ just been started within the past year. Last spring dur ing the weekend of graduation, the First Annual Spring Weekend was held. The events of the weekend featured tennis and golf tournaments. a shopping trip, a buffet dinner and a graduation party. The alumni also attended commencement exercises. Spring Weekend went very well, according to Dr. Rees, and the program may be expanded next year. Other alumni services are more educationally oriented . Wilkes is now a member of the Alumni College Visitation Program which offers alumni at participating colleges a chance to visit other colleges around fhe country. Although there are only a few colleges participating in the service now, Dr. Rees feels that it has a lot of potential. Alumni of participating colleges are invited to visit other participating colleges with their families.

Wilkes then sends the students brochures and information about the student. " The reactions to referral have been tremendous," according to Dr. Rees. and some have expressed interest in actively recruiting students. As a result. Wilkes is currently developing a training program for those interested in recruitment. The program will inform alumni about the type of questions that high school students are asking. and what type of careers they are interested in. In addition to recruitment. alumni also help students already at Wilkes who have expressed interest in a certain career or jobs. The Career Assistance Program is designed to familiarize the student with various aspects or a job by discussing the job with an alumnus who has graduated and is working in that particular area. The Alumni Association arranges the meeting between the student and alumnus. Dr. Rees admits that many of these programs are "ambitious." but he feels that they hold a great deal of promise. l\Iary Ka~· Pogar UNIVE!f:AI.

Klaus Holm, Leonard Powlick and Jay Siegfried will lecture on their respective fields of expertise for one third of the semester. The ··team teaching" is an effort to help students to receive instruction on different aspects of the ... theater from different instructors who have experience in the theater. Dr. Thomas Kaska , head of the. Language and L iteratuer Department. believes that Wilkes is very fortunate to have theater instructors of such high caliber to teach the course, Klaus Holm has been involved in theater since the 1940's. However, lo be precise one might say he was involved before this lime. His mother. Hanya Holm, who was a choreographer and dance instructor got him involved in theater while he was young. He worked with designer Donald Oenslager for many years as consultant for theater facilities; and was involved in the design of some 24 theaters throughout the U.S. and abroad, including the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. He has done set design and lighting for at least 31 plays on Broadway and 40 professional operas. Mr. Holm will teach the technical BUY YOUR COLLEGE RING FOR .00 (and get a nic el change) NO KIDDING!

He will lecture on scene design. lighting and production techniques. Leonard Powlick received his M.A. in Theater Arts and his Ph.ff in dramatic literature from the University of Pittsburgh. He has had several articles published deal ing with theater history and dramatic criticisms. He will teach the history and the literary aspect of the theater for the course. According to Powlick theater is very complex and has various different aspects. The team teaching, " will give each instructor a chance to cover each section of the course more adequately," Pow lick states. The new setup. "Will showcase each aspect of theater and have the people who are best qualified teach these aspects,'' he adds. Powlick believes that one should study the past lo get a perspective on the present. He feels that a study of the history of theater will help students to understand what's going on in the theater today . In his section of the course the students will learn about past productions in the theater as well as the literary background that underlies every play which is brought to the stage. Jay Siegfried was the Director of Theater at Southern Seminary College before he came to Wilkes. He - has directed four productions in professional theater, three in community theater, over twelve college productions and acted in more than sixteen roles. He has been teaching courses in theater since 1967 and has had two papers published. Siegfried will take the acting and directing part of the course. He believes that the more people know about theater the better they are able to appreciate it. He has noticed that students know very little about live stage acting because they are least exposed to this kind of acting. Most students are very familiar with TV and movie acting but few have seen live stage productions. His intention. therefore. is to teach the students something about the process of the art of acting and directing. Siegfried see·s the "team teaching" as a way to get the best · use of the theater faculty. He believes the experience will help the instructors as well as the students, in that it will help each instructor to get to know each other and to compare te;iching techniques. " Theater is a cooperative field," Siegfried states, " This is a good chance to carry the cooperation over into the classroom. " These three men will each be responsible for the section which they begin the semester with, while the other two will be considered guest speakers in that section. The main reason behind the team teaching is to help students apprecia te theater more and possibly spark an interest in the theater program. · Bill Turcan NOTICE Friday night Miner Hall is sponsoring a party in the Student Center.

J a l a n g e n - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- From The Corporate World To Wilkes College · Although most people on campus are familiar with the Polaroid SX70 camera, very few are aware of the fact that a Wilkes professor, Dr. Edwin Jahngen. is resonsible for the deveopment of the dye used in SX-70 film . The Assistant chemistry professor spent three years following his graduation from Bates College with the Polaroid Corporation. While with Polaroid his valuable reserach transformed a low priority experiment into a high priority project. which eventually led to five patents for Dr. Jahngen and Polaroid. Despite his success as a researcher at Polaroid. Jahngen decided to leave the corporation to pursue his doctoral degree at the University of Vermont, and later received his post doctorial degree from the University of British Columbia. Unable to fi nd a good teaching posilion. Jahngen secured a job with the New England Nuclear Corporation, where he found his work. with cancer chemotherapy and dnuerotransmitters to be "extremely fascinating." His desire to teach still strong, Jahngen left the Nuclear Corporation two years ago to accept a teaching position here at Wilkes. He explains his interest in teaching: "l enjoy seeing students develop new ideas. It's a great feeling to think I may be helping a student become a really good scientist." Also. teaching allows me to satisfy my own scientific curiousity. I get to how an why certain reactions work. I am also allowed to carry on my own reserach, although heavy course loads limit my time. Teaching offers the best of both worlds." The young chemist is totally honest when he discusses his relationship with his students. "The seniors are great to work with." he remarks. " but. the sophomores present quite a challenge." Jahngen finds working with senior chemistry majors very satifying . Practically every evening he can be found in his office. available to any student who may need his assistance. It is a great experience for me when one of my students NOTICE The Earth and En·vironmental Science Club (former Committee for a Clean Environment> is selling Einstein prn,ters and pamphlets.

" Teaching sophomores." he continues, "is something quite different. They are used to descriptive textbook chemistry rather than a dynamic chemistry. They often do not realize the importance of Jabs, and as a result, I must regiment the lab sessions. something I don't particularly like to do." Dr. Jahngen is very perceptive to the needs and intersts of his students. He realizes that many sophomores who take his class are not chemistry majors. but are students who must take his class to fulfill requriements in their discipline. He tries to alleviate such problems by making his course material adaptable to the interests •-•· of his students. "I am still trying to find the proper connectons that will bring it all together for my sophomore students. I hope I have been successful thus far. " It is obvious that J ahngen is very interested in research. and he does manage to do some research in between teaching classes and grading exams. Yet, he riotes, that the Wilkes chemistry department is not equipped to carry on strong research projects. He states. "Many people damn small colleges like Wilkes for not being research orientated. But low priority research shoudl not be seen as a fault of the college. Intensive research is just not included in the philosophy of the college. There is -absolutely nothing wrong with this." The chemistry professor explains that small colleges have advantages over larger universities. "The science department at Wilkes allows a student to find his or her place in the science world. by pro- Dr. Edwin Jahngen viding students with ·a good overview of what is going on in science. The chemistry department here is liberal arts orientated. Graduates can easily spin off into a variety of science related fields and are not limited to industrial research." He adds. "The chemistry department is dynamic and constantly changing to meet the needs of the students. This is possible only at a small college where the atmosphere is a personal one and professors have contact with their students." Dr. Jahngen's plans for the future may possibly include a carrer switch to the field of Bio-Chemistry. an area he is increasingly becoming interested in. "Or maybe." he concludes. "l may fulfill another dream and start a horse ranch in British Columbia."

What an opening week it was for the new winter sports coaches here at Wilkes ! Talk about opening night success. Our hats off to .he coaches and their new assistants for a great opening week of competition . First off. the men 's basketball team or Ron Righter opened its 1979-80 campaign with two victories over Delaware Valley (70-68 ) and FDU Madison (71-54 ) at home. When was the last time a Wilkes basketball team started a season 3-0'? The team displayed great enthusiasm. a no-show of past years. and despite playing " sluggishly," went out and downed Del Val in its first game. A sign of a good team is to win when you play bad. and that's what they did. In the second game. the Colonels were again bothered by .. sluggish " play in the first period. but came on in the second half to run away with the win. So, new coach Ron Righter. who has already enj oyed a super sports season with the cross country. is on his way to another successful year. The surprise of the week might have been the opening night encounter or the Wilkes women's team and new coach Nancy Roberts. The girls took on heavily.favored Lafayette. and dropped a narrow one-point 6160 decision to the bigger team . Diane Kendig had the crowd on its feet as she went over the I.OOOth career point mark ( the only girl in Wilkes history to do so ) with a 31 -point effort. It was an exciting game. and a "great effort" by the girls should not go unheralded. Arter opening night successes from the new basketball coaches and teams. the swimmers had their turn Saturday night and for the first time in history. defeated Ursinus College to open the 1979-80 season with a 1-0 slate. This is the same team which has had its problems in the last few seasons. but new head coach Bob Greenwa ld and new assistant Bob Lewis are doing a super job and the swinner s ship is now sailing smoothly. Captain Jim Edwards says the attitude is the best he's seen in many year s and most the swimmers are underclassmen which means there will be a bright future ahead for Wilkes College swimming. Again we send our best wishes to the new coaches and their teams for an exciting week of sport. But lets also credit two people for bringing those new coaches into Wilkes College - AD John Reese and Dor is Saracino. Well. everybody and their brother has come out with their basketball rankings, so here comes the BEACON's: We're going to go with Duke as number one. The Devils should have made the final four a year ago, and with Gene " I can pass" Banks leading the way, Bill Fosler should get his national title this year. 2. Notre Dame. You have to like the Irish's chances as almost everyone returns and Digger has helped himself with some top recruits. Kelly Tripucka (known as "Mr. Ed" on the ND campus ), is now sporting an afro. and says he should increase his scoring this season. Key to ND will be play of guards Rich Branning and 6-7 Bill Hanzlik and ND has the best PA announces in the business. 3. Indiana. Because Bobby Knight is Tough. with a capital T. Any · coach that makes the team run through wooden chairs in practice. is tough and mean. The Hoosiers want to prove to everybody. especially Puerto Rico, that they can win a national championship. 4. Belmont Abbey. Could be surprise of the year. Have a weak schedule and are a weak team, so anything can happen, right ? 5. DePaul. I can't Jet DePaul out of the top five. Ray Mayer packs a tougher team than his final four unit of a year ago. Look for burly freshman Mark Aguirre to have a super year along with top-notch freshman Teddy Grubbs and Terry Cummings. The Blue Demons will be out to give 66-year-old Meyer his national title. . 6. Kentucky. You got like Kentucky's chances. With Dwight Anderson (the guy who single-handidly killed Notre Dame last year ) back along with seven-foot freshman Sam Bowie, who has put a lot of weight on. the Wildcats of Joe Hall could walk away with a championship . 7. UCLA. Only if they fire Larry Brown and bring back John Wooden . If not. then forget this ranking and move on to the next. 8. St. John's. Something tells me, this could be the year of the Redmen . Loouuuie Carnesecca has two or the top guards in the nation in Reggie Carter and Bernard Rencher. Center Wayne McKoy is a good best for All-American. I can hear Marv Albert now. "The Red men are national champions. yesss and it counts." 9. Marquette. They have the best guard in the nation in sudden Sam Worthen. Worthen is 6-5 and can handle the ball reall_y well. He should be a top pro draft pick. Coach Hank Raymonds loves the under-dog role as hardly anybody is picking the Warriors in the top twenty this year. But. remember the same thing happened last year and the Warriors came within only a few points of knocking off DePaul in the NCAA Tournament. 10. Syracuse. Roosevelt Bouie is the main man here and they want to prove to people that last year's choke in the NCAA tournament was a fluke. The Bouie and Louie Show should keep Eastern Basketball fans alive this season. Louie is a Louis Orr. an under-rated player. The Orangemen should have a good season . �Page 1-1, The Beacon, December 6, 1!17!1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------, !

Due to the Beacon's deadlines. we can't tell you whether the Wilkes College men's basketball team is 4-0. 3-1 or 2-2 after last night's game with King's. Before press time. all we knew is that the team started the year with two wins and took a 2-0 league and overall slate into Monday's game at Pharmacy and yesterday's war with King's College. Regardless. the team has only two games left before the January "Colonel Classic " and they are Dec. 11 at Lycoming College for a Middle Atlantic Conference tilt and here Dec. 14 when the Blue and Gold host a very good East Stroudsburg Stale College unit. By now. the word must have spread that the Wilkes men's basketball team has opened the year with two straight wins. And when 's the last time that ever happened ? Maybe in the Jim Atherton days? * The Colonels should have downed Pharmacy Mqnday evening to take a 3-0 slate into the King's game. But. who knows? They say the sign of a good team is when you win when you play lousy. Well last Thursday. the Colonels did play lousy and did win. 'the "Main man" Kendall McNeil was plagued by off-shooting. hitting only three of 14 field goal attempts Way'' -- -- --and tallied only eight points. but Wilkes won by two. Big gun against the Aggies was j unior guard 6-5 Mike McCarrie. who poured in 26 tallies on 12 shooting. McCarrie added eight rebounds to the cause . How will Wilkes fill the void left by the nation's number three rebounder of a year ago - John Zapko. who graduated ? Share. that's how. In addition to McCarrie's eight. other rebounders included : McNeil seven. Tony Madden nine. J.J. Walker eight. and little Pat McCue pulled down four. · Another key to the opening night win was the play of Madden. a transfer from Temple. where he played . only football the last two seasons. Tony scored 19 points against Del Val had two assists and a steal and played just a great overall floor game - making things happen. Walker had 12 points in the win. In the second game. against FDU Madison. Wilkes showed · its true meaning of team ball. You look at your " Big-Time" NCAA champions - Michigan State. Indiana. etc .. They all have good players who play well together and high scorer usually has 16 points in an attack where everybody scores and it is a balanced offense. That's what happened Saturday as Wilkes displayed a winning Working-Now -----~- = team-play which led them to the 71-:. 54 verdict over FDU Madison. Kevin Walker. on six of seven shooting from the field. led all scorers with 16 points followed by Kendall McNeil with 12. Mike McCarrie with ten and Artie Meigh coming off the bench for ten. Madden had eight as did Pat Romich. The Wilkes bench was impressive Saturday as the " bomb squad" helped open up the Colonels' lead. Ron Morel had avery good game making things h1 ppen and doing the things well that don't show up in the scorebook . Romich came on lo spare McNeil for a while and did an excellent job. Dave Capin enjoyed a fine game against FDU, looking awesome on the boards and hitting some clutch free throws. But. Meigh was the key. Artie. a senior guard. came off the bench with Wilkes leading by only six with ten minutes left to play. He then hit a few "rainmaking" jumpers and with help from fellow bomb squad members, Wilkes was up for good by 20 points. " Art had a fine game," said Righter after the win .

Below are Patrick. Luby and Hicks. Best Wishes to all! When Wilkes College men 's basketball coach Ron Righter sees his team in trouble this year. now he can really call out for the "Marines." George Banas. a 1975 graduate of Bishop Hoban High School, who went into the Marines for three years, is listed as a 6-4 freshman forward on the Wilkes Basketball team. Banas is a former high school standout for the Argents under Chet Hine where he teamed with Kevin Flaherty and Dan Frascella ( now at King's) to form the "Big Three' which led Hoban in the 1974-75 season. Upon graduation. George enlisted in the Marines and spent time in Okinowa and Korea . It was in Okinowa, where he got his nowfamous, " bull-dog" tattoo on his right arm . After the three Marine years, George spent a year helping his father at a local gas station. Then he ran into a , former Hoban classmate - Joel Kane. Kane. also involved in the Marines, told George about Wilkes and its benefits for veterans and how Kane has participated in football the last three seasons for Rollie Schmidt. He was one of this past year's grid quad-captains. "Joel was the one who got me to go back to school. And I really didn't think about basketball at first. I just wanted to continue my education," said George. "Then h~ suggested I try out for basketball .•· It had been four long years since Banas played organized basketball and Coach Ron Righter admits it took George a while to get back into things. " He started out slow at first, but has really worked hard. He worked very hard in our pre-season running drills and he now gives us a "power" rebounder ore the bench," says Righter. " It feels a little bit funny coaching George," adds Righter, "because I'm only a few years older than him, but he's geen great. The players look up to him and they even have a nickname for him bull-dog, after his tattoo." " I'm now getting back into the swing of things, basketball-wise that is," admits George. " I just hope we have a winning season, and I know one thing the attitude of the team is just great. " How will he feel going against a former high school team-mate Frascella when Wilkes and King's meet this year. " It should be pretty funny. Dan is a good player and I hope the games are- as exciting as last seasons." Banas finished his three-year hitch with the Marines as a corporal. He is the son of George and Florence Banas, 319 Wyoming Street, Wilkes-Barre. So if your at a Wilkes game this year and you hear Ron Righter calling for " The Marine", you'll know what to expect.

' ' Dr. Ralph B. Rozelle, Dean of Health Sciences, announced this week that a program in Pharmacy Has been established between Wilkes College and Temple University School of Pharmacy. Rozelle noted that the Pharmacy program is part of a plan to alleviate a shortage of pharmacists in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Presently, Pennsylvaltia leads the nation in terms of the number of underserved counties in Pharmacy. Rozelle cited a listing of counties with shortages of pharmacists which was published in APhA Weekly including counties in 21 states. Pennsylvania, which has the most counties listed, has pharmacist shortages in 9 counties, including 6 in the 20 county area of the northeast: Tioga, Lycoming, Centre, Snyder, Northumberland, and Schuylkill. Rozelle sees no reason for a Pharmacist shortage since Pennsylvania has four Pharmacy Schools. The new program will be in effect next semester. Students interested in this program must meet admissions requirements for both Wilkes College and the Wilkes - Temple program. Students accepted into the program must declare a major, in addition to the pre-professional curriculum. The first two years are spent at Wilkes taking preprofessional courses, and courses in the natural sciences, social sciences, and ln;manities. At the end of the second year, a joint selection committee composed of faculty members from both Wilkes College and Temple University selects a maximum of 10 students for admission to the pharmacy component of the program. Students selected for the pharmacy component spend their third and fourth year at Temple University School of Pharmacy where courses are taken in pharmaceutical and clinical sciences. The fifth year of the program is spend between Temple University and Northeastern Pennsylvania apprenticeships studying pharmaceutical sciences and working in clinical rotations. Students may opt to spend a third year at Wilkes before going on to Temple for the pharmacy component of the program. Students not selected for the pharmacy component may remain here to complete studies for a baccalaureate degree and pursue a number of alternative health careers. A desire to practice in Northeastern Pennsylvania or the border counties of New York and New Jersey is a prerequisite to admission to the Wilkes - Temple Pharmacy Program. Rozelle commented that in essence the program brings "a small pharmacy school to Nor- ' theastern - Pennsylvania" within Wilkes College. He noted that he sees the program as a "great step forward" for the college and he is very happy that the college has taken the steps to begin this program. Rozelle added that he sees all of the programs as leading up to an upgrading of the health care system in Northeastern . Pennsylvania. In addition to the pharmacy program, programs are available in Medical Technology, Family Medicine, Optometry, and Podiatric Medicine in cooperation with various schools of health and medicine. Also, Rozelle said that Wilkes is in discussion with Temple University concerning the possibilities of programs in other health care areas such as Dental Medicine, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. Louis Czachor In Kocyan Hall Break-in A break-in of Kocyan Hall was witnessed by a large group of people attending a party in Sturdevant Hall last Sunday night, December 2, 1979, at approximately 11: 30 p.m. The burglar has been identified as a student of the college currently enrolled as a junior history major. He was seen entering through a side window which was unlocked. He then proceeded through the C & F Dept. Offers Solutio~s To College Cheating Problem According to Dr. Howard Williams, Chairman of the,Business Administration Department, because the Commerce and Finance faculty are addressing the problem of cheating in their department, the public is unjustly associating C & F with deceit, even though the amount of cheating that occurs is matched by many other disciplines on campus. Williams admitted that historically the Business Department has been known for numerous cheating instances, but he sternly suggested that this would be a bad prediction for the future. Dr. Williams further stated that both President Capin and Dean Hartdagen are aware of the problem as is the whole C & F staff, and that, "Every reasonable step is being taken to tighten up on it. " Commenting on the incident of cheating that occured in Mr. Ross Mantione's C.S. 124 Cobol class, in which a sophomore Computer Science major completed an exam for a senior Accounting major, William said that the Commerce and Finance department was not asked to recommend suspension of the twc students. The chairman added that he knew nothing of the incident until he received a phone call from the Dean's office, informing him of the infraction. Personally, Williams pointed out that he feels the punishment handed down by the Dean in this case is totally justified. He went on to say that cheating from your neighbor in an exam, although inexcusable, is a human weakness warranting an automatic failure of the course. The kind of cheating that took place concerning the two suspended students Williams termed " ... a deeper threat to the college." In this case he added, there was " ... obvious pre-meditation and planning." The Commerce and Finance Department actually started to deal with the problem of cheating back in June of this year. In a more recent memo dat,~d the 6th of December sent to all C & F faculty members, variations of the numerous ideas discussed in June are presented. In the memo Dr. Williams states that because cheating has become an everyday practice among a sizeable group of C & F majors, the department has been severely criticized. He goes on that, "Testimony from a student government official, given in a disciplinary hearing, included the argument that one accounting major should not be singled out for expulsion when it is common knowledge that many accounting majors are seen publicly preparing crib sheets prior to exams. " According to the memo, in the past few years Williams has found · " ... cheaters using crib sheets attached to calculators, reference books with answers in the margins, answers written in bluebooks brought into the exam and the ever popular 'send a buddy up .to keep him busy while we look at his paper' ploy." In an attempt to answer Dean Hartdagen's question as to what the department is doing about the cheating problem, Williams asks each faculty member to submit to him what they do to prevent cheating, and what their penalty is, for cheaters. Ending the memo, Williams gives his own procedures for eliminating cheating such as giving as many as six versious of an exam, separating the class as much as possible, and using different sizes of paper and bluebooks in a random pattern. Thus far this semester, Williams and his assistant have caught seven students cheating simply by " ... giving different versions of an exam to students seated next to each other." Out of the seven students, six have dropped the course which is what Dr. Williams requests of those students who cheat in his class. _ When asked to comment on why cheating is occurring more fre- quently in colleges, these days, Williams replied that it appears to be a carry over from the students' high school experiences. Cheating is no longer looked down upon, and there is very little peer pressure on cheaters, the chairman mentioned. While discussing the Commerce <Continued on Page 2) building with a flashlight and entered the office of a faculty member of the Philosophy department. On-lookers from Sturdevant Hall, which is located directly next to Kocyan Hall on South Franklin Street, then saw the student leave through the window he entered carrying a file under his arm . Campus security was notified while the burglary was in progress, but arrived moments after the burglar had gone. Security passed the student on South Franklin Street as they came to K~yan Hall, and pursued him after they were informed of the details of the breakin. Dr. Donald Hensen, chairman of the Philosophy department, refused to comment on the incident when contacted as did Dean George Ralston. The burglar has received disciplinary action from the Dean's Council which met this past Tuesday to discuss the case. Atlanta Rhythm Section ProposedForFeb.3rd The main topic of discussion at Student Government's lilst regular meeting of the semester which was held on Monday, was the possibility of a concert which would be scheduled for Sunday, February 3, 1980. The concert, which would feature "The Atlanta Rhythm Section", would cost between $15,000 and $16,000. SG president, Dave Blumfield explained that the promoter does not want to pay for the whole show, and :.s a result SG would have to pay half. Blumfield noted that he feels any loss would be minimal, which he described as $1000 to $2000. One of the problems facing SG is the source of their half of the money. Blumfield stated that SG had $16,500 at the beginning of the year, but that more money had been dispersed to various clubs and · organizations, including the class treasuries, than in previous years. Blumfield concluded that "at the moment we do have enough money to have a concert." · He added that we would get all of the profit. There was a specfal meeting to decide if SG should go ahead with the concert on Wednesday night. The results of that meeting were unavailable at presstime. It was noted, however, on Monday night that if the concert was approved on Wednesday night that ticket sales would .probably begin next week, probably selling for $8.00 or $8.50.There would also be the possibility of a discount if sales are good. Blumfield concluded the discussion by saying that if the concert is held and is a success that he would like to try to get another concert for April. Blumfield announced that only $30 to $40 has been collected from the jars placed around the campus for the stereo in the Student Center. However, the Student Center Board may help to pay for the stereo with what is left over from its budget. IDC president Mike Stapleton announced that the Christmas Party which will be held tonight will cost $6.50, and that includes f~ beer and a reduction on all mixed drinks. The Freshman Class constitution was voted upon and ratified. Blumfield joined SG advisors, Mrs. Barker and Dean Hoover in wishing the students, faculty, and staff Happy Holidays.

Although there are some JDC representatives who show a fair amount of enthusiasm and dedication, there are many more who have a more apathetic attitude towards the council. The apathy is evident in almost everyone on JDC, but it is most noticeable in the members of the Executive Council. It appeared that there was as little preparation as possible for several meetings. For instance, Recording Secretary Valerie Van Dyke prepared no agenda for three meetings this semester, and no minutes for one of the three meetings. The minutes themselves are sketchy and vague, and would not be understood by anyone who had not atternled the meeting which the minutes were describing. Although every Executive Council members sh,wed an apathetic attitude, the person who will suffer the most blame is President Mike Stapleton, since he holds the highest position on the Council. Stapleton made little effort to accomplish more than was necessary. At times he failed to do even that. For instance, no CC-JDC float or display was built for Homecoming Weekend. Of course, he cannot be blamed entirely for this since it was to be a joint CC-ICD project, but Stapleton did little to promote interest of JDC members in the display or float. One area that seemed to hold promise at the beginning of the semester was the push for Co-Ed Housing by Stapleton and Mike Sibilia, Vice President. Both were interested in the possibility of having Co-Ed Housing on campus and should be creditea for at least bringing the issue to everyone's attention this year. However, in this area, too, apathy took its toll. The issue of Co-Ed Housing apparently died in mid-semester when Stapleton and Sibilia turned it over to the Student Life Committee. At this point, Stapleton and Sibilia apparently felt the issue was no longer Cheating Mi s s Penna.

Bill Miller, CC chairman for the party, reported that the controversy over having free beer and wine at the party was settled at the CC-IDC Social Committee meeting last Thursday. At that meeting, it was decided that free beer would be available, with other drinks at full price. The ticket price was raised from $6.00 to $6.50 to offset the extra expense of having free beer. Also, CC and IDC will each give $50 more to the party committee. The Christmas Party will be held Thursday night, December 13, at the Woodland's Inn. The band will be "Phoenix," and a buffet dinner will be served. It was also reported that the CCIDC Social Committee would be better organized next semester. A meeting of the committle was held on Tuesday, Dec. 11 to elect a permanent chairman for the remainder of the year, and to discuss possible ways of more formally organizing the social committee. IDC President Mike Stapleton announced that the judging of the dorm decorating contest would take place on Friday, Dec. 14. A $25 first prize and $15 second prize will be awarded in each of two categories ; best decorated dorm, and best decorated hall. The judges for the contest will be Mike Stapleton ; IDC Vice President, Mike Sibilia, Housing Director, Paul Adams and Associate Housing Director, Jean Reiter. Under new business, Stapleton suggested that IDC purchase records or tapes to replace the radio music that is currently played in the cafeteria during meals. Stapleton feels that the records or tapes will be enjoyed more than the radio music. This matter was not settled and was left to be discussed some time next semester. Mary Kay Pogar Forensic Union Concludes Fall Schedule After traveling more than 2,000 miles and competing against over 100 colleges and universities, the Wilkes debate union concluded its fall schedule this past weekend at Towson State University, Towson, Maryland competing against 33 institutions in a three day contest. The squad entered all areas of competition and received prefect scores in the preliminary rounds. Davida Roberts moved into the finals in rhetorical criticism with an indepth analysis of the late Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." She finished the competition with a fourth place trophy. Colleen Gries received a fifth place trophy in salesmanship competition. Jon Pliskin received recognition as the sixth best overall speaker. Darrell Lewis and · Norm Witko completed the squad's entrants in the contest. These victories raise to 14 the number of trophies that the debate union has won this semester. Next semester the union plans to travel approximately 3,000 miles in various forms of competition, The debate union's current trophies are on display in the lobby of the Center for the Performing Arts.

Jim Edwards Louis Czac hor CC The CC-IDC Social Committe reopened voting last Thursday on the questin of whether there should be free beer or a cash bar with reduced prices for the annual Christmas Party. Originally the eommittee passed a motion to have a cash bar with reduced prices. IDC opposed this plan and instead called for free beer. A compromise was finally reached to have both free beer and reduced prices. The compromise will mean that . the ticket price will increase from $6.00 to $6.50. In addition, both CC anbd IDC will have to increase their contribution from $750 to $800 to help defray the added expenses. In other news, Commuter Council received its first copy of THE COMMUTER, a quarterly newsletter put out by the National Clearinghouse for Commuter Programs. Several weeks ago, Commuter Council joined the Clearinghouse, whose primary concerns are commuting students and their needs and responsibilities. It was also announced Monday night that the Social Committee will be selecting chairpersons for their upcoming St. Patrick's Day and St. Valentine's Day parties. It is hoped that the St. Patrick's Day Party will be held off campus. Anyone interested in serving on a po_sition for these affairs is asked to contact the Social Committee or their CC or IDC representative respectively. The meeting concluded with a note that all office hours will end today and that the Council Christmas Party will be December 22 at 7:30 in the Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House.

R. youlL It is that time of year again when The Beacon steps forward and analyzes the three student governing bodies on campus; the Inter-Dormitory Council, Commuter Council, and Student Government. A look is taken at their accomplishments, strengths, weaknesses, overall problems, and improvements over the preceeding year. The reporters who write these analyses have attended every meeting of the semester. They can all boast perfect attendance which most representatives of these councils cannot. They have observed each meeting and walk away with their own interpretations and perceptions of what actually took· place. The purpose of the analysis is simple. We expect every member of SG, CC and IDC to read their respective analysis and reflect as to what was accomplished and by what means. We realize that not everyone will agree with our viewpoints but it is our intent and hope that if a problem is cited, the respective council or person will acknowledge it and take corrective action. The Beacon monitors each group's behavior to keep them more or less on their toes and moving in a progressive direction. We feel that otherwise the three groups would stagnate and then eventually degenerate into accomplishing nothing. It is no news to us that some members of these bodies will do anything to get their name and-or picture in this paper every week. This is fine as long as the credit being passed out is ·deserved. When these analyses are read we hope that they will be taken as constructive criticism and not as a personal attack on anyone. Be proud of your accomplishments but also recognize your downfalls. If you are an elected official you must know bow to react to criticism because it could either make or break ,,__ you in future elections to come, whether they be on this campus or in later life.

" arrived on campus last week -a nd with it came the sweet smell of success for Jay Siegfried and the cast. The award-winning play was Siegfried's directorial debut here and what a debut it was ! Paul Kerrigan was cast in the lead role of the cruel half-crazed Teddy. He turned in an excellent performance and game true meaning to the phrase " great casting." He played the part perfectly adding his own special touch. A,Jele Tavella also turned in an astounding performance. She's quite a talented lady and showed her multi-faceted style beautifully in her portrayal of Angel. She . reacts to every scene whether she is present in it or not. Chris Lonstrup was cast as Red Ryder and with a special humorous touch game a great performance. His is also another case of perfect casting. Tara Buckingham and Bill Tur- can added some support even though at times their portrayals seemed forced. Mike Breakstone and John Salwitz both had a fine evening as their respective characters Clark and Lyle. Donna Pioppi as Cheryl seemed to be weak in certain areas, but turned in a good overall performance for the night. The set created by Klaus Holm was superb. Nothing was left to the imagination; the diner in Southeri1 New Mexico was perfect. One of his special effects of the evening was that the music actually came from the jukebox itself. The costumes of the mid-sixties were perfected by Michael Flamini, doing a job well-done along with everyone else involved.

It's going to take a great learned in the seventies is that there are no simple solutions to complex problems. The outgrowth of special interest groups is a perfect example of this. These days, it is virtually impossible for a law to be passed without countless groups first giving their consent. ' and pies left over from earlier in the evening. The lights from the Christmas tree illuminated the room as we watched the giant ball start it's long and leisurely decent. The next moment everything errupted in a blaze of noise. It seemed as if the entire world had stopped and let out a scream. We watched Times Square and every living soul crowded in it as they jumped and raved, sang and danced. Reports came in describing similiar events happening all over the country, even through the world. This recollection is of midnight, Dec. 31, 1979. The turbulent sixties were over. The upcoming decade of the seventies promised the world a chance to regroup, settle down, and start working together to build a better place for all of us t.9-live. For one brief moment, almost the entire world sparked with human solidarity. The common rejoicing in those few minutes will forever remain endeared in my memory. In a little more than two weeks from now, a similar event will take place. The faces have changed, the plot has been spiced up and thickened a bit, but the scene is basically the same. Another decade is coming to a close and with it is sealed one more chapter of world history. A new decade is now before us and our fascination of what it will bring The solutions of the seventies haven't been very effective and it is time for us to look for other ways to deal with the world's problems. If there is one thing that human nature has on its side it is that man just doesn't know how to quit until what we are striving for is ac- ~ complished. This quality of ours is a very precarious and dangerous one that we must deal with caution. It is much like a double-edged sword because it can do as much harm as good depending on the way it slices. We must carefully choose the path we wish to follow,-and dedicate our lives to its completion. If we take on self-defeating goals, then it is only ourselves we will have to blame for our failure. We need to have a national goal that can carry the country successfully into the future. Maybe, even an international task force of some kind might provid~.the unity that is sorely needed. In the last ten years we have discovered that American cannot lead the world out of darkness by being a great white hope. W 've also learned that we can't force feed progress to other nations. We can teach, educate, and offer improvements, but we must allow underdeveloped countries to progress at their own pace. One lesson that was definitely 0 us is enormous. It is a time for us to reflect upon the past ten years and to appraise our achievements, as well as our failure. It is also a time for us to look to the future to see what we can find. Undoubtfully, our accomplishments have been staggering. From the computer revolution to reconstructing DNA, the technological and scientific advancements of the 70's have truly been remarkable. The prospects for :urther and more amazing achievements are brighter than ever before. Phyllis' Beauty Salon 357 East South St. Wilkes-Barre, PA. Pe.,.. Starting at 5 15.N s•-,.., c. . . s., .... For on appointment colt 122-7027 On the international level, we must adopt a policy of cooperation and equality among nations. The seventies saw an expansion of this way of thinking, but for the eighties this trend must continue to spread to include all countries, rather than just the developed nations as it is today. The emphasis of international affairs will have to turn from who is number one to how is the whole group doing. America must shed it's watchdog image and concentrate ori becoming a concerned partner. On a personal level, the commitment to self-improvement must not recede. Instead, we must continue to expand our perspectives in order to accept the changes that must occur. If there is one lesson to be learned from the seventies it is that anything is possible. We will have to adjust our lifestyles to take this into account. As young adults and college students, we have a great concern for what happens in the eighties. The decade ahead lc,oks to be an age of limits, and a time where priorities must be redefined. Where these limits are set, and what priorities are chosen will affect us for the rest of our lives. It is no mistake to say that we must begin planning today for what will happen when we are old citizens. We have to realize that our overindulgent lifestyles must I be tempered. We have to stop wasting precious resources, and start recycling most of what we use. Our patterns of living must change, and ones that are better suited for the future must be developed. As far as America itself goes, we will have to regroup ourselves, and start rebuilding the confidence lost in the seventies. Our traditional institutions have taken a beating and are in need of repair. This is an ex- -Book--Anct-·Record Mart 18 S. Main St. .

Of course, this implies that we have the strength, courage, and foresight to do it wisely. Perhaps, the most basic change that should take place is a switch from living for today to living for the future. This type of change would not mean sacrificing personal enjoyment or pleasure, but probably might increase the general well-being of our society as a whole. Only by building for the future can we hope to keep up with the other advanced nations. Whatever happens to us in the eighties, I hope that it happens peacefully. I hope the mistakes we've already made can be cor- amount of hard work and dedication to really make a difference. Nothing is going to come to us free. We will have to pay our dues so, get ready.

However, at the end of each academic semester it is also my duty to assess the actions and interactions taken on by the Council. This assessment is nothing more than a series of personal remarks based on observations I have made throughout my coverage. It will represent both the negative and the positive aspects of Commuter Council First, the negative. There seeems to be a growing dissention among the members of · CC towards members of IDC and SG. This is obviously shown during the two major social events that were planned. Major controversies began to appear over such as " What band will perform" and "Do we really want free beer of a cash bar with reduced prices." On both accounts, votes were taken and decisions were reached, only to have the voting reopened and to ·have a new decision made on the basis that "there was a misunderstanding of informatin about the band" or "not all of the students' opinions were fully represented. " Although compromises were made that satisfied both CC and IDC, there was a considerable loss of time, energy and not to mention a growing feeling of animosity between members of each group. Another negative aspect is that there still remains a question on the disappearance of $800 from the past budget of Commuter Council. Although, I have been informed Broken Pickering Hall Windows Entail Considerable Expense into them . One student had to be hospitalized,receiving one-hundred stitches. The college, for safety reasons, is replacing the twenty door panes with lexian, which does not shatter on impact. The lexian cost approximately $3200. Labor and Industry regulations, however, require one-hundred square inches of wired glass on the outside doors, prohibiting the installation of polyglass or lexian. Dave Gurgen, a member of the Emergency Alert Team, said his team treats about ten injuries a year that are incurred by the doors. Since September, the team has treated and taken two students to the hospital, while a third student required an ambulance. George Ralston, Dean of Student Affairs, said twenty doors per year have been broken since 1965, and it has always been a concern of the college. Window damage comes in i sporadic epidemics, he said, though Hair Styling- Hair Cutting more happen on the weekends, Perming-Conditioning "When everyone is partying.

Structural stresses in ◄• "tilkes-Barre, PA. the building may also play a part. _ by ap~o i~t ment 124-2125 For example, stresses broke a few A rash of broken windows at Pickering Hall has cost the college a considerable amount of money. From August 1978 to September 1979, $2818 worth of l!ass was broken by vandalism or carelessness, said Paul Adams, Director of Housing, and since September 1979, approximately ten door windows needed replacing, costing $1600. Seven of those ten doors were broken since Thanksgiving. Adams said much of the breakage has been charged back to individuals, but the college never catches many offenders. Adams made a distinction between the outside door windows and the corridor windows inside Pickering Hall. ·The corridor windows do not serve as fire doors,. but were installed in 1974 to combat noise and increase utility within the dorms. Students have been injured running _ _ _ _ _ room windows earlier this year. Ralston attributed simple carelessness as a leading ca!lse, but also said some of it is malicious behavior.With the rising cost of glass, however, the college is investigating other alternatives, such as replacing the glass doors with steel, or even possibly blocking the exits off as a punitive measure. He said that students do not fully realize that vandalism shows itself in rising tuition. He concluded that the doors were left intact, it would help keep tuition down. David Stahl that actions are currently being taken to locate these missing funds, however, nothing is ever made specific to me or to any other member of The Beacon staff. When brought up during a meeting, the conversation is stricken from the records. In fact, whenever an issue appears that speaks out against the Council or another representative group appears, it is auiomatically stricken from the records. It appears that CC is misusing this power not only against The Beacon but against all students who have the right to know what is actually said at their meeting. Perhaps Commuter Council should realize that it is better to openly debate the crucial issues than to try to privately solve it among themselves. If it has bearing on the student body than it should be made public. If Commuter Council could overcome these difficulties, then they would undoubtedly be more successful. Still, I was impressed by some of the actions of the Council. Joining the National Clearinghouse for Commuter Programs is certaily a step in the right direction, just as having the Tri-Organizational Meetings and the Joint CC-IDC Meeting. I was also extremely impressed by the growing spirit of vitality, good sense and character shown by the majority of the members of CC. It seems that no matter if the members have differing viewpoints, they will continually support each other. No where is this more evident than on the Executive Council. The Executive Council keeps almost all affairs clear, concise and up-to-date. Hardly is anyone ever absent from the council. There doesn't seem to be one member that c:trries all the burdens of the entire organization; each member carries his or her own responsibilities. The minutes are available to everyone at each meeting and the treasurer's report is given at the beginning of each meeting along with the list of debits and credits. An agenda-type format is always used and the meeting is conducted in a very democratic way. The president successfully remains in full control of the meeting. In to~I, the Executive Council works as a very well organized and dedicated team. As everyone knows, the true power of any organization rests not on the officers, but rather on the support of the entire body of the organization. It seems to this reporter, that Commuter Council is always encouraging student involvement in all college afairs as well as with the commuting students.

The fact that something can not be acquired for nothing is only driven home to the "victims" when they get hurt. Similarly, many college students are plagued with the problem of being short on cash, and resort to what is considered by some to be a "something for nothing" scheme plasmapheresis. Plasmapheresis, according to the FDA guidelines, is the removal of plasma from the blood of a donor with the red blood cells being returned to the body. Plasma centers pay donors for their plasma, which is used for research and vaccines, according to desk personnel at a local plasma center. FDA guidelines mandate that the procedure must adhere to specific requirements. These include. a medical examination prior to donating plasma, and a blood test for amounts of plasm·a protein, immunoglobin and other plasma components. Local procedures, according to student donors, are a medical examination on the first visit, and a plasma donation after that. The donor's finger is pricked, and his blood checked for protein levels, hemoglobin levels and blood pressure. If all are normal he waits for his tum on the cot. When his name is called, he is given stickers and bracelets with individual identification. These are placed on all bags of blood and on the individual. Trained personnel then proceed to take approximately one pint of blood which is collected in a plastic bag, An I.V. (intravenous solution >is set up to keep the vein open while the blood is centrifuged. The plasma, again acording to FDA regulations, is separated from the whole blood. The blood cells are returned to the donor in a cold saline solution by injecting it into the vein. A second pint of blood is taken and the process repeated. Total time for donation is quoted as 90 minutes at the plasma center. Students donors, however quote two or three hours. After the donation, the center provides donuts and orange juice. Plasma is 90 percent water but the important part of It Is the protein component. The two most important proteins In the plasma are albumfn and globulin. Albumin is the same protein found in egg whites. Globulin, also called lmmunog]obin, plays an important role in antibody production, which is essential in combating infection. According to Dr. Wilkie, chief pathologist at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital in Kingston, there is a commercial market for albumin, which can be fractioned off of whole plasma. Monetary incentives at plasma Neu, Phi Alpha Theta Chapter The national history honor society. Phi Alpha Theta. has approved the History Department. for a chapter as of November 13. 1979.

The Blue and Gold posted a significant 21-16 win over Eastern rival Navy and dumped Delaware Valley 38-9, while losing to ninthranked Oregon St. 29-11. But more importantly, Coach John Reese utilized the squad's depth and several new faces donned the varsity stripes. Wilkes needs a lot of wrestlers in each weight in order to compete with its tough schedule which includes some of the best teams in the nation. Fans who were lucky enough to make it to the Oregon St. dual were afforded to see some of the best individual wrestlers in the country. Oregon's squad surely captured the admiration of local wrestling buffs. Despite the fact that they wrestled four dual meets in a row before coming to Wilkes-Barre, the Beavers travelled to compete in the Lehigh tournament the next day. " Some of the Beaver matmen looked a little tired, but their biggest attribute was their physical wrestling style on the mat. Wilkes also looked sluggish which didn't help things, because once Oregon scored a takedown to get on top it was all over. They used their strong leg and wrist rides to control our Colonels. Billy Dodge, Bart Cook and Rick Smith were the only victors for the Blue and Gold, while Dan Miner had a draw. Wilkes junior 118 pounder Eddie Johnson, Chelmsford, Mass. has been taking his bumps and appeared even with Oregon's Randy Majors on his feet, but Majors was just too strong on the mat and took an 8-0 major decision. Dodge, a junior from Arlington, Va. remained unbeaten at 126 when he handled Stan Stephanson, 8-2. All-American Mike Bauer took a 9-2 decision from Bryan Billig at 134. Things could have been different if Billig recorded the opening takedown, but Bauer surprised him with a quick shot. · Ore·gon kept its momentum and sailed through the m iddle weights until unbeaten Dan Miner, a junior from Chambersburg drew with his Oregon opponent. Wilkes fans were disappointed to see co-captain Mark Densberger, Danville .suffer his first Joss, but it was his first time down to 150 and didn't wrestle up to par. It_was a strategy move With Navy leading 15-10 after the 167 contest, Cook displayed his superiority over Navy's Jerome Clark 19-6 to tie the score. Smith followed with a fine 5-3 decision at 190 to put the Blue and Gold in front which could have worked if the Col- 18-15.

I It)· F.Mi• Mia. I I I ''Ya Gotta Luvlt!!'' I I Inn It was without a doubt the-greatest victory in the history of Wilkes College men's basketball. And it also was one of the greatest wins in the history of Wilkes sport. 77-76. Over King's College. It still hasn't settled in yet. " Ya gotta luv it!" they were screaming. Yes, our "gritty and gutty" men's basketball team of " All-World" coac h Ror. Righter defeated King's College last week 77-76 at the " big gym on North Main Street." The win left King's followers in shoc k - how could little old Wilkes beat our powerful Monarchs; and left Colonel followers dancing in the streets - really! i gue!>s you had to have been in this area for a good many yea rs to understand the real meaning of last Wednesday's wi n. It wasn't just because we beat them there, or that it was a MAC and MIC game. No, the real meaning of this win was that King's is no longer "king" when it comes to local college basketball. For many years, then Division II King's was the big attraction - with the huge crowds, the fancy warm-ups and uniforms and of course - the " big gym on North Main Street." But then Scranton gave them some competition by winning a Division III national championship. But still, the Monarchs held on to be the "number one" college basketball team in Northeastern Pennsylvania. After a 25-year absence of regular-season competition between the two schools and with King's. moving to Division III, last year they met TWICE and King's won - TWICE. It did not matter that the Colonels only lost to the highly favored Monarchs by two and four points. We did lose and King's fans boasted about how, again, they were tops. But not this year baby! In a game, which local sportswriters and media people called, "One of the greatest sporting events in the last thirty years," both clubs gave their all and more. King's came in as an eight-to-ten point favorite, but it didn't matter everyone knew the game would go down to the wire. And down to the wire it did. A last-second shot by Monarch Steve Locnikar hit short off the rim and little Pat McCue scooped up the rebound and was fouled with :01 left to play. It was over - we did it! Despite missing the services of their leading scorer after three games Mike McCarrie - who dislocated his thumb in the opening minutes - the Colonels had pulled it out. Despite a brilliant shooting performance by King's senior guard Joe Hand (26 tallies - missing only one shot, none in the second period>, Wilkes prevailed. The Colonel "D" was so excellent forcing Monarch turnovers, you thought Ed Donohue was going to open up a bakery. The Colonel "press" did the job driving King's freshman guard Keith Alleyne bonkers. and the usually-dependable Jim Shea into throwing inbounds' passes into the stands. · · The defense also shut down King's top performer sophomore George Aldrich, who scored only five points in the loss. The key to the Wilkes win was Artie Meigh, who came off the bench to replace Mike McCarrie and responded with 16 points on eight of te n shooting from field, five key rebounds, seven glorious assists, three steals and a blocked shot. Whew, Artie you deserve a rest! A look at the three area Division III college basketball tea ms show that Scranton - lost without assistant coach Mike Strong, now with their women's program - are floundering with a 1-5 record having lost their last five. The Royals could possibly make a run for it in the second half of the season when a few lettermen come back after academic probation. The Monarchs, now 2-3 on the year - heading into an away ga me with Division II power Philadelphia.Textile this week, recentl y lost to Kutztow n State at home on Saturday - blowing a 1!1-point lead. And who do you guess is on top - Wilkes with a 4-0 slate. Do you believe it? You better ! These guys are for real. If Wilkes loses the rest of its games this year, so what? We beat King's - and that's the grea test win of all!

(GAETANO PHOTO> Women Enjoy Good Week; Record Now Stands At 3-2 The women's basketball team of first year coach Nancy Roberts had a 2-1 week while raising its record to 3-2. The week opened Tuesday on a high note as the Colonelettes completely overwhelmed a very weak Baptist Bible team 63-31. Junior captain Diane Kendig led Wilkes as she has all year with 18 points. She was followed in double figures by Lynn Yedlock with 12 and Mary Jean Farrell 1¥ith 10. All 13 players who made the trip got plenty of playing time. On Thursday the Wilkes ·women traveled down the block to face inter-city rival King's. " I think we were over ready for that game. Some of our girls just couldn't handie it mentally." said rookie.coach Roberts. Thus Wilkes played a poor game, while playing especially bad in the first half. At half-time, King's helda44-26lead.Wilkesoutscored the Monarchs 50-40 in the second half, but the King's gals hung on to take an 84+76 victory.

The Wilkes divers, headed by Reed Bello and Frank Gardner, displayed impressive style and technique in the required diving event to finish second and third respectively over a field of six. Both divers are receiving excellent coaching from Bob Lewis, this year's new diving coach. In other events, Kim Bush placed second in the 200 yard butterfly, John Moffatt finished second in the 200 backstroke, tri-captain Jim Edwards earned two thirds in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events, and tri-captain Alan Shaw grabbed a second place in the 200 yard breastroke. The Wilkes aquamen are now 1-1 for the season and will swim against Elizabethtown tomorrow night in the King's College pool at 6 p.m. According to head coach Bob Greenwald, this should be a win for Wilkes. ~*-=~=*-===-•====•=-•=••==~• Colonels were led by Kendig with 34 points, eight steals and four assists. Senior Mary Jo Frail added 15 points while freshman Stacy Keeley hauled in nine rebounds. Wilkes will have an opportunity for a rematch with the lady Monarchs onJanuary2lattheWilkesgym. On Saturday afternoon the Colonelettes entertained a strong Marywood team and bounded back from the King's loss to post a 63-52 victory. "Marywood is a very good basketball team. I was happy though, to see our girls put it all together after we realized how bad we played on Thursday," stated the Wilkes coach. Wilkes' running game controlled the tempo after they regained the lead, which they never relinquished. The home ladies were led again by Diane Kendig, who many feel has a good shot at being an All-American before her brilliant career is over at Wilkes. She had 26 points, five steals, and three assists. Mary Jo Frail had 10 points while Stacey Keeley and Lynn Yedlock controlled th bo rd 'th 2 d 11 e a s w1 1 an reboundsrespectively . . In games of this week, Wilkes will host both Lycoming tonight at 6:30, and Kutztown Saturday afternoon at 2:00. The girls will then be off for Christmas break until January 10 when they travel to Scranton. The 11th and 12th the girls host the second annual Wilkes Women's Basketball Tournament. _ A look at the early statistics at this timemof the season shows that Wilkes has scored 335 points for a 67 ppg average while holding its opponents to 278 points, or a 55.6 ppg average. Kendig leads the team in scoring with 130 points for a 26.0 ppg average, followed by former Meyer High School teammates Mary Jo Frail and Mary Jean Farrell, each with 51 points. That computes out to a 10.2 ppg average. Lynn Yedlock comes in with 47 points and a 9.4 point average. The incomplete rebound stats shows us that senior Lynn Yedlock leads Wilkes followed by Stacey Keeley. The steals department is lead by Ms. Everything, Kendig, . and followed by Frail and freshman Joanne Grismondi. Kendig is also tier' with Farrell for the team lead in a ~ists.

Then, at a special meeting before Christmas, . SG decided on The Kinks. After the meeting, they found out that could not get either Atlanta Rhythm Section or The Kinks.

The students appealed their case to the Judicial Council on the basis of the severity of the punishment. The Judicial Council upheld the decision of the Dean's Council, and the students will not be allowed to return to the college until Summer 1980, stated Dr. Robert Freysinger, faculty member of the Council and spokesman. In the second case, a junior history major was involved in a break-in at Kocyan Hall during the month of December. The Dean's Council found the student guilty and decided that the student should be suspended for the Spring semester of 1980. The student appealed the case to the Judicial Council. The council felt the punishment was too severe, stated Dr. Freysinger. The punishment was reduced by the Council, and the student will be placed on permanent social probation. Dr. Freysinger explained that this means if the student performs any transgression against the college, expulsion of the student is recommended. Any decision made by the Council not leading to dismissal is final , however, president Robert Capin has final appellate jurisdiction in cases of student dismissal. All cases are decided by a majority vote of those members present, stated Dr. Freysinger.

He continued by saying that it is advantageous for students to have recorded on their transcripts that they minored in a particular subject. . "It will help our programs here at the college," stated Hartdagen, and he explained that there are areas where it will be advantageous to have a minor and that there are areas where a minor could be offered, but no major. As a result there will be "increased flexibility in programming." A complete list of approved minors and their requirements should be ready in time for fall • registration. Louis Czachor = I ~~ --I au....,,. PU~ ~~:;,ITH1 t Hartdagen noted that the idea for the proposal originated after he first came here last summer and looked over the college bulletin. " One of the things that struck me," he said, "was the absence of minors at Wilkes." He added that he had never worked at any school of higher learning that did not offer minors. Hartdagen talked to President Capin and several students and educators, but nobody seemed to know a good reason why there were no minors. Hartdagen explained that the faculty seemed overwhelmingly in favor of starting minors and at this point, all departments are aware that if they wish to start a minor in their discipline that they must submit a proposal to the curriculum committee by February. Hartdagen added that several departments (although he is not sure which ones ) are already planning to start minors. Most will require 18 credits; that is two courses at the 100 level and four higher level courses. Departments offering four-credit courses may require as many as 24 credits for a minor. Some departments may specify which courses will be required. After the curriculum committee approves a proposal of a minor for a subject the proposal will be voted on by the faculty, and if passed. will be in effect next fall.

Inactive and ineffective for the seven years, the recent use of the appelate court proved itself the answer to the situation in both cases. Fair, and honest decisions were reached after great length and discussion. Though some feel we exploited both instances to the point that this paper was muck raking personalities, this is far from the truth. One case dealt with cheating and the other with the questionable presence of an intruder in a college building late at night. Though The Beacon has traditionally stayed away from news concerning disciplinary cases, this year's staff feels that these instances reflect a side of life at the college that if ignored would mean we were not practicing journalism. We did not print the names of these students but this is not to say that future editors will make the same decision. It is our opinion.that if we are to print a newspaper- that reflects the life of Wilkes College this includes the bad with the good. · , We feel our coverage was very positive in the sense that maybe reporting these cases wilJ prevent other students from trying to pull the same acts. It also revealed to students that there are certain student rights available involving disciplinary action. The Dean's Council treats each case individually, with an effective Judicial Council set up and in operation. Hopefully, some precedence will be set and through this newspaper students will be aware of them . NOTICE LOST OR SWITCHED BLACK VELVET JACKET AT THE CHRISTMAS PARTY AT THE WOODLANDS.

Peter Steve �THIS IS THE WILKES COLLEGE CONNECTION - Bill Scholl, public relations student assistant, updates the popular message-line with details concerning the latest cultural and sporting events. Do you want to know who, what, when or where something is taking place? There's an easy solution The Wilkes College Connection. One just has to pick up the phone and dial 82&-1135 and they will politely be informed as to all or the upcoming events on the Wilkes Campus. These events include Concert and Lecture Series events, art exhibits, plays, recitals, community related activities, and the host of all sports events and results. Parents, students, alumni and interested residents use the 24-hour service. A five minute recorded message gives everyone up-to-date information concerning the time and location of a particular activity. This is the third year of operation for the service concieved by the Public Relations Department here. George Pawlush, director of public relations explains, "The response from our friends in the community has been outstanding. The 'Connection' has been an invaluable tool for keeping the public informed about r the countless and diverse activities on campus which are available to the community free of charge." Since January 1977, the messageline has received approximately 30,000 calls. The office can monitor the number of calls through a counter attached to the Code-APhone 200 answering machine. The counter was devised by the Engineering Department. There are peak periods and during the .Eastern lntercolligiate Wrestling Tournament, the 'Connection' received over 500 calls over the 36-hour period rendering the message-line idle for a day because of a burnt out part. The message-line has also been used in emergency situations when there has been a need to cancel classes because of inclement weather. So if you're not too sure about the details of a particular event, just pick up tbe phone and dial. You won't be sorry for finding out exactly who, what, when or where something is happening. Cindy Ercolani 'Kram:;~;v:ex-r_a_m--e-r-~--1 r:,ac:Wi=:x;,IC=a=>t;;-;;;;;ni~g This is a rare and moving film about marriage, divorce, child custody and changing sex roles. Writer-director Robert Benton's Kramer vs. Kramer, adapted from the Avery Corman novel, is a superbly depicted intelligent movie about Ted Kramer (Dustin Hoffman ), an advertising executive who is forced to raise his six-yearold son, Billy (Justin Henry ) alone after his wife, (Meryl Streep) of eight years hands in her credit cards and leaves her husband to find herself as a working woman. Ted at this point is left at home to find himself as a human being. He is aggressive, ambitious, superficial: His days are full of events that further propel him up the ladder of success. His idea of fun is working late at the office. In the emptiness that follows his wife's departure, he tries to cope jauntily with his new found responsibility as a single parent; he bravely attempts making French toast so that his son won't percieve his mother's absence as a treat. Billy will not swallow this and in time Ted learns that requirements of parenthood: constancy, punctuality, patience, tolerance: old-fashioned virtues. By the time the father and son are living in harmony, his wife reappears and demands the son back, thus 'Kramer vs. Kramer. ' Dustin Hoffman gives the best performance of his career - fumbling with the demands of child rearing, he's funny and touching, frantic in his agitation and terrified of being found unfit.

Men who drink too much, think too little. Better for man to first get someth ing in eye and wink, than wi nk .. . and then get something in eye. Never miss an opnortunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone to au it. A lot of happiness is overlooked because it doesn't cost anythi ng. The more you work for it, the less you look for it. the quicker ha ppiness comes. Seems like a lot of us want life, libeJty and happi ness without too much pursuit. Girl who fall s for every man usually get bounced around. The foolish man seeks happiness in the di stance ; the wise man grows it under his own feet. You don't have to go out and look for happi ness. Keey busy and it will find you without any trouble. Most gi rls want to be the gleam in a man's eye and the green in a woman 's.

It is not something to possess. ·one of my goals as a professor is to instill this belief in my students," states Dr. John Natzke, professor of Sociology. He continues, "I feel I am growing intellectually all the time. I have learned more in my first year of teaching at Wilkes than I did in the previous eight years of learning." Dr. Natzke is certainly one person who genuinely enjoys his profession, both as a so.ciologist and as a teacher. He especially enjoys working with students. "Ninety percent of my pleasure and satisfaction comes from seeing the sparkle of students who are interested in the subject matter I am teaching." He received his B.A. in sociology and psychology from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, and later earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from WesternJ\1ichigan University. The Sociology professor explains his life in terms of "contingency circumstances." "I never planned on becomin-g ·i sociologfs( I never intended to go to college. But, one event led to another and here I am at Wilkes." He explains that his sister filled out the college application for him and convinced him to attend the University of Wisconsin, where he met Hobert B. Bailey, chairman of the Sociology department, who was to become Natzke's role model for the next four years. "Robert Bailey took a genuine interest in me. He influenced the way I felt about myself and the world. He convinced me to go to Europe and do research, somethign I never thought I was capable of doing." After receiving his B.A. degree, Natzke secured a job as counselor at a private institution for delinquent boys, a job he found very demanding and depressing. After leaving the institution he went to Alaska to assume a position as Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. YI found this work to be very gratifying. I had the resources to make changes and help those who needed it. I was able to see progress being made in a short Dr. John Natzke period of time." Dr. Natzke came to Wilkes in 1973 and "Immediately fell in love ·with that sociologists have much to conthe college and the valley.

On Monday the Colonels traveled to Moravian College for a non-league encounter before moving on to Reading on Wednesday for a key Middle Atlantic Conference battle with the Lions of Will Renken and Albright College. On Saturday, the .'.:>lonels will be under the bright lights of John Long Center when they go up Route 81 to meet the Royals of Scranton University for a 1:00 afternoon game which will be televised by WBRE. Fans are asked to skip the TV route and go see the game and help cheer on the Blue and Gold in another key league game. On Monday, · Wilkes will travel to Elizabethtown for still another MAC game against the Blue Jays. And then next Wednesday, Super Fight II, or III or whatever - the King's College Monarchs led by crafty veteran mentor Ed Donohue come to the South Franklin Street Pafestra for a 8:00 battle. You better go early to that game - maybe around Monday to get a seat. Art Hoover might have to lock the doors that night. Anyway, what have our Colonels been doing since you la~t saw them. Well, they participated in the second annual Kiwanis "Colonel Classic" tourney at. home and finished third, losing to one Division II power and beating another. The colonels dropped a 73-64 decision to Merrimack in the first round but came back to down Bridgeport 80-68 for third-place. The Colonels placed sophomore Pat Romich on the alltournament and there could not have been a better choice. King's took the tourney's title honors and preceded to cut down the nets - bill big Ed. The Monarchs beat Bridgeport in the opener ~ and polished off Merrimack 81-76. Dan Frascella led King's and was named as the "Most Valuable Player." Also on the alltournament team were Tom Lavelle of Merrimack, Keith Alleyne and George Aldrich of King's. Against Merrimack, Wilkes was led by Kendall McNeil with 15 points, who shot six of 18 from the field. Tony Madden chipped in 12 and Pat Romich recorded ten . Mike McCarrie had a rough night shooting hitting only four of 19 from the field as Wilkes shot horribly as a team from the field, netting only 26 of 69 for a .376 percentage while Merrimack shot .566 from the floor. Wilkes was also outrebounded by the taller team, 48-28. In the Bridgeport encounter, Wilkes showed it can come back from a tough loss and had five men in double figures. Leading the way was Artie Meigh with 15, followed by McCarrie and Pat McCue with 14 each, Romich with 12 and Madden with ten. In that victory, Mccue set a tourney record by hitting 14 of 14 free-throws and scoring all his points from the lane. The 14 fell one short of the Wilkes record held by Jim Ferris who netted 15 in the 1950's. Wilkes as a team made 30 of 35 free throws to tie a school record for most made in one game. McNeil was held to nine points in the game, while Walker scored only four. Then, this past Saturday, Wilkes played its worst half of the season in the first period against Kean College a.k.a. Bandits, Inc. The Colonels were behind most of the way, until a 14-2 spurt in the middle of the second half carried them to their sixth victory against I three losses on the year. McNeil led the way again with 20 tallies and was followed by McCarrie with 18 and Romich with ten. Walker was leading rebounder with eight, but didn't score. Romich added six steals to the cause. But the most exciting part of the game came with only a few minutes left when a rhubarb started. It . seems a bandit from Kean yelled some cuss V(Ords in the direction of Wilkes assistant coach Steve . Justice and Justice didn't like it. Words were exchanged and before you knew it, a bench-warmer for the bandits was asking Righter for a fight.

The Colonels also garnered a sixth place finish in the 47th annual Wilkes Open, amassing 34.50 points. The highlight of the tournament was the awarding of the "Outstanding Wrestler" trophy to Wilkes' very own Bryan Billig. Wilkes didn't have a winner in the " Rose Bowl" since 1974 and Billig not only copped the 134 title, but also received the most coveted award of the event. He defeated last year's runner-up and nationally ranked Steve Perdew of Slippery Rock 19-4 in the semi-finals and outscored Bucknells Tom Scotton 18-6 in ~ the quarters. He also defeated Sam Edwards, Cornell and Bruce Davidson, William & Mary en route to the trophy. Based on Billig's performances, WNEP Channel 16 TV awarded him the trophy for the "Athlete of the Week" and he was the first of 1980 to get his name etched in their books. Colonel freshman Mark Roley, - Warrington, Pa. surprised wrestling fans and garnered a fourth place in the tourney's 158 pound class. Roley didn't see any varsity action yet, but based on his performance we should see him wrestle during the second semester. In the 190 category, Blue and Gold cocaptain Bart cook had to settle for a fourth place among the tough competition. Mark Densberger was upset in the first round of action and was unable to get back into the consolation bracket since the wrestler which he lost to was beaten. Of course Clarion St. took home the team laurels fo r the seventh straight year, totalling 52.25 tallies. Bloomsburg St. finished in the runner-up spot with 47.25 and was followed by East Carolina with 44.50; Hofstra University, 36.50; and the New York Athletic Club had 35.75 to earn a fifth place. Although the Colonels ended in sixth place, · that finish is respectable since over the December issue. The Colonel's closest dual meet was at Tennessee, where the Reesemen produced a 25-14 triumph, while on the annual "Southern Swing." Our Colonels were losing 11-0 going into the 158 tilt, but , co-captain Mark Densberger g ave Wilkes the upper hand, squeezing out a 6-5 decision over his opponent. Densberger was forced to ride his opponent out for the one point which gave him the victory. Sophomore George Cherrie, Fleetwood made his initial appearance of this season and also rode his adversary in his 150 contest to tie the score at five. Junior Dan Miner, Chambersburg, ·is enjoying a fine season and coasted to a 6-0 decision at 167 to put the score in Wilkes favor, 16-11. But Cook fell to defeat at the hands of SEC place-winner Ben Hill 9-4 in the 177 pound fray . Junior Rick Smith, Walden, Vt., added six team points by winning a default at 190 and Senior Bob Matzelle, Lindenhurst, NY, posted a 15-10 decision. Wilkes also toppled Shippensburg while on its Southern trip by a wide 38-0 margin. It was the second shutout of the season for our Colonels, as they also hammered MAC team York earlier, 54-ZIP. Khris Rowlette, a yearling from Nashua, New Hampshire, got his first win at the varsity ranks, decisioning his opponent at 118. Billy Dodge, a junior from Arlington, Va., who has been sharing varsity duties with freshman Mark Popple, WilkesBarre, remained unheated at the 40 mark with a decision at 126. Billig, a junior from New Tripoli, continued his usual style with a fall at 134 and frosh Lenny Nelson, Richland, N.J., knotched his first varsity win at 142. Nelson also looked good in the Wilkes Open, dumping Bloomsburg's Nationallyranked Al McCollum. When Billig drops to the 126 class, Nelson will also drop to 134 where he will probably see varsity action. Popple will also be competing for that opening but with all that talent, Reese will probably do some juggling so everybody wrestles. Other victorious wrestlers at Shippensburg·were freshmen Mark Troutman, Toms River, N.J. and Pete Creamer, Bellmore, N.Y . at 158 and 177 respectively. Cherrie, Miner, Smith and Matzelle complete the winners list for the locals. Wilkes avenged last year's setback to East Stroudsburg with an overwhelming 38-7 victory. Another loss from last year's slate was avenged when Wilkes sent and pinned by Orangemen's John Syracuse University back to New Zito.

First consider how many were invited three TV stations, numerous radio stations and three newspapers. Only ONE media member showed up. And that was WILK's Rick Gaydos. We publicly would like to commend Gaydos for bis interest in the tourney and the press conference. Gaydos, who bas really put the WILK sports department on the map, also was at the Wilkes Open with live reports and inerviews. Now that's a sports reporter! No one else showed. No TV, radio or even newspapers. Well, there must have been something really important going on that night, you might ask. On yeah, the annual Herbert Hoover look-alike contest in Nanticoke. There was nothing scheduled sports-wise that night in the area and only one member of the media showed up. It's shows how high school-oriented this area is. They make high school sports out to be the greatest thing since Bart Starr scored against Dallas. No wonder the high school athletes in the area, who go away to "big" schools get "sky-scraper" egos 'thinking they deserve the Reisman in their freshman year. The media is responsible. And it's been like this for years and might never change. But if there are two coaches who are going to try their damnest to make people realize college sports in Wyoming Valley its King's Ed Donohue and Wilkes' Ron Righter. They have committed themselves to bring some top basketball to the area and are hoping the Wilkes-King's rivalry becomes even greater than it already is. And it's not your hated Kansas City - Oakland - type rivalry, it's a clean, do your best a great one. WBRE does King's basketball games on the air, both home and away, and they also do the Wilkes football games on the radio. We are wondering if some station is smart enough out there to pick up the Wilkes basketball, wrestling and baseball teams. The main idea behind covering the sports is to make money through advertising and advertisers only work with winners. The "restling and baseball teams have been winning since George Blanda was " kid. And Righter's basketball team has showed signs of a great team just starting out. It will take a lot_ of work, for college sports in this area to pull even with high school media. What are you going to do when some of the sports writers in the area, who have been around a "long" time, have yet to step in the Wilkes Gym. What we get a kick out of is bow these same, sports experts pick high school all-star teams, by only seeing maybe two-three games a year. Let's hope in 1980, if only one thing is accomplished, that college sports gets a fair shake from the local media. On to a brighter subject. Over the holidays, two teams showed they are the class of the country in their respective sports - DePaul in college basketball and Alabama in football. DePaul should be number one in this week's poll and should be the only undefeated team at season's end. The Blue Demons or Ray Meyer are our pick for the national championship. We have tickets for the NCAA Eastern Regional at the Spectrum and hope the Demons are there. If there were not on suspension, we would like San Francisco's chances in the NCAA. They recently hammered Notre Dame. Yes, the Bear is smiling in 'bama. Bear Bryant has captured his second straight national title and what a team he had. We've been saying all year that the Tide was number one and once again the BEACON is right. By the way, the winning ways of Bryant's team must have spread to the basketball team at Alabama. Last week, they blew out Kentucky by more than twenty points. Rollllll TIDE! Greenwald"s Swimmers Now 1)·1; Look For Win Sat.

Destruction, however, started this past Monday and it will only be a matter of time before the area is cleared away ._The structure of the library can be seen in the background which is one of the reasons why the old Commons is being torn down. Not'only was it replaced by the new Student Center but its removal will enhance the appearance of the library. Flash! The Winter Olympics will be held in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. on February 8, 9 and 10. Student Government's Social Committee, headed by Marla Brodsky, Diane Seech, Dave Blumfield and Tim Ryan, named the theme of . 1980's Winter Weekend " Wilkes First Olympiad." The committee is working very diligently and closely together to providt: an exciting weekend of athletic and social events. The weekend begins February 8th at 6:30 p.m. with the opening ceremonies. A parade including Dean Ralston, majorettes, strutters, a marching band and all the teams, will march through Kirby Park into Ralston Field. The opening speech welcoming all the countries ·will be given by Dave Blumfield. The torch runner will enter the field and light the big torch, giving an official start to the Olympiad. Reaccreditation Moves One Step C l o s e r - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - f in al Report Issued By MSA After more than two months since their visit on campus, the Middle States Association Evaluation Team has issued a final report on the reaccreditation of the college as interpreted by the chairman, Dr. Robert Ackerman, Dean at Drew University. The report, which Dr. Ackerman says is " ... made in good faith, in an effort to assist Wilkes College," begins with a two-page annual institutional data summary which includes such topics as faculty, students, cultural facilities, finances and the library to name just a few. After this brief update on the college, the bulk of the report begins with an introduction before proceeding into eight sub-topics; institutional goals and objectives, the student body, the educational program, the faculty , governance, institutional facilities, educational resources and financial resources, all of which were mentioned in the school's self-study report. In the introduction of the report, Dr. Ackerman states, "The Evaluation Team found Wilkes College to be an interesting and unique institution. The Self-Study Report was obviously the result of much work, self-criticism, and searching." A very important point of introducs tion is the mention of the 1972 flood which caused much damage to the college. The chairman points out that, " ... the current state of the College could be understood only with some knowledge of the flood," and that reference to it will be made throughout the report. Concerning the institutional goals and objectives of the college, the evaluation team noted that, "The college seems to be properly concerned with maintaining and enhancing certain positive characteristics of being a small college, e.g., congeniality and an improved advisory system for the students." It was also pointed out that although there are a number of programs on campus established to reduce attrition. "The team could detect no significant change in the admissions standards ... '' Two other important issues in this section are the discussion of the problems the school is having with balancing vocationalism and liberal arts, and " ...an imbalance of attention given to male and varsity sports, such as wrestling, at the expense of female and intramural sports." The evaluation committee recommended that the school continue to work at attaining a balance between the two types of education, while seriously considering the expansion of the present physical education facilities . Under the topic of the student body, Ackerman notes that the team found some problems in the quality of the academic advisement program, although the present system is adequate. Also under this heading, the chairman stated the lack of written statements concerning student rights, and recommended a written policy "... to remove occasional confusion. " The team stressed as well the clarification on what decisions can be made by the Dean's Council, and what issues must be handled solely by the Administrator's Staff President's Council. Ackerman finished by suggesting that the college " ... develop a philosophical statement" on the ways " ... dormitory living can contribute to student maturity." The MSA Evaluation Team found the educational · programs at the college to be excellent, with "The chief strength ... " being the faculty . Although impressed with the presence of "superb facilities," the evaluation group did discover space and equipment which was not fully utilized, leaving open the possibility for future development. In addressing the topic of the faculty , Dr. Ackerman commented that the team was pleased to see a dedicated and hard-working faculty becoming involved in the governance of the institution. It was also suggested that the college " ... strive to improve the level of compensation for the faculty" (such as by'improving the funds for travel to professional meetings) to increase morale. Governance at the college was found to be in a state of transition, though there was a general opinion of " ... confidence in the institution's leadership" according to most people on campus. High lighting the list of ideas dealing with governance, the team recommended that efforts should be made to develop an " ... effective evaluation program" ot teaching. After visiting various institutional facilities, Dr. Ackerman termed most buildings on campus to be very good. The academic facilities and equipment were described as excellent, with the Sordoni Art Gallery and the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for The Performing Arts giving the college " ... an exciting cultural 'edge' ... " One major down +fall of the campus was that, "The condition of the residence halls, including a number of large houses, is not.nearly as good as that of the academic buildings." The primary recommendation in this section was that the college ". .. close the . least desirable residence halls as soon as they can be replaced by better structures .. ." r The educational resources on campus were very advantageous according to Chairman Ackerman, with most of them being well-used and successful. The main recommendation in this section was that · the new copyright law should be publicized more than it presently is. In the final topic dealing with financial resources, "The team found Wilkes College to be in sound financial condition. The administration and trustees have · established a tradition of good stewardship.'; The Office of Comptroller was sufficiently staffed, with accounting and auditing procedures in accord with the ".. . acContinued on Page 7 At the end of the opening ceremonies a large flock of white doves will be released signifying peace and goodwill among the contestants. At promptly 8:30 p.m., the games will begin with the first round of the volleyball teurnament held in the gym. After these games end, the Senior Class will sponsor a "Class Feud." Saturday, February 9th, will be a day filled with activities. hi the gym will be the semi-finals of the volleyball tournament, while crosscountry skiing, relay races, traying, tug-o-war, and an obstacle course will be run in Kirby Park. There will also be an ice-skating competition held at Coal Street Park with everyone invited to come and skate free. Saturday night a Beach Party will be held in the gym, under the directing of Sullivan, Barre, Delaware and Miner Halls. There will be a band, food and refreshments for only $1.25. If you have the guts enough to actually Continued on Page 8 Erickson Resigns As Asst. Professor Effective this semester, Dr. John Erickson resigned his position as Assistant Professor of Biology, according to Dr. Lester Turoczi, Chairman of the Biology Department. Calling Dr. Erickson's move an "alleged resignation," Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs refused to comment on the situation further, stating that he made an agreement with Dr. Erickson not to make a public state_ment. · Two courses, Biology 302 and Biology 312, originally scheduled to be taught by Dr. Erickson during this semester were cancelled. Dr. Hartdagen would not clarify whether or not the courses were cancelled because of Dr. Erickson's move, stating, "One of them probably would have been cancelled anyway due to underenrollment. '' According to Dr. Turoczi, the courses were cancelled because of an underenrollmept, explaining that the department looks for ' ' ... a slide factor of 7," as a minimum number. The two courses had a total enrollment of 15. Although he had no further comment, Dr. Hartdagen stated that Dr. Erickson might wish to make a statement. The Beacon tried to reach Dr. Erickson for a statement, but he was unavailable for comment at presstime. PaUi Sparlow f �Page 2, The Beacon, January 24, 1980 . Six Western University Scandals Seen Non-Existent On Campus Due to the recent uncovery of fraudulent academic credits tFansferred to the records of student-athletes at six western universities, the Federal Bureau of Investigation in cooperation with the National Collegiate Athletic Association has announced a nation-wide inquiry concerning this matter, according to an article in the January issue of the New York Times. The article states that the athletes from the University of New Mexico, the University of Utah, the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Arizona State University and San Jose State in California received credit for a summer course which many of them admittedly did little or no work for, with some of them not even attending classes. An FBI agent working on the case told the Times that, "The problem is not limited to a few schools. The problem runs wide and deep, and a lot of other institutions are vulnerable." The article goes on to state that, " According to Federal officials, possible mail and wire fraud, bribery, and conspiracy violations are being examined by the grand jury. They said the indictment of coaches and college officials responsible for preparing and transmitting fraudulent credits and transcripts 'is likely.' '' Apparently large universities are not the only Ol)eS under investigation by the FBI for smaller colleges like Pacific Christian College in Fulerton, California, and Compton Community College in Compton, California, are two of five community-type schools presently being questioned by the NCAA and Federal officials. With the nation-wide investigation of institutions participating athletics (especially Division one ) surely to reach the east coast, there is a slight possibility that Wilkes may be questioned about the credit records of its student-athletes. When asked to comment on this issue, various school officials unanimously expressed extreme confidence is the legality of studentathlete records. Ruthe Bishop, Recorder, although not very familiar with any of the fraudulent credit incidents out west, said that to her knowledge there has never been any type of credit scandal on campus. Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs, also gave the school a vote of confidence when he answered the possibility of FBI intervention on campus with, "I would invite them to investigate Wilkes." Arthur Hoover, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, said that he did not know of any such incident ever occuring at Wilkes and that he hopes it never does happen. Hoover added, "We have a good system of checks and balances. I don't think such a scandal could happen here. I have great confidence in the institution." In accordance with the story in the New York Times, Bill Walsh, head coach of the San Francisco 49ers and former football coach at Stanford University said, "Any college athlete who wants to can find a course for credit that requires no assignments and no attendance. " Commenting on this statement, Dean Hoover laughingly said, "Not at Wilkes. Even in Phys. Ed you still have to go to class! '' Although the chances of a federal inquiry occuring at Wilkes is highly unlikely, the college appears to be ready and willing for any type of investigation the FBI and-or NCAA may initiate, with the possible uncovering of wrong doings being totally unexpected. Peter Steve Open Letter To The Freshmen Class What happened to all that spirit .we possessed in the first few weeks of the fall semester? It seemed that the class of '83 was going to turn this school upside down with our enthusiasm. Presently, this is not the case. The Freshman Class of 1983 is the largest class ever to attend Wilkes College, but the attendance at class meetings does not in any way reflect this fact. We have had two class meetings since the election of class officers, and attendance at both meeting has been extremely poor; so poor in fact that we had to literally " drag" people off the streets so that Executive Cl)uncil could vote on pertinent matters ! The fact is, Executive Council cannot vote on proposed functions without a specific quarum of people, as designated by the ..Class Constitution. The quarum for Student Collapses In Ca/ After Sustaining Injury Keith Sands, a freshman biology major, collapsed in the cafeteria this past Saturday evening and was admitted to Nesbitt Memorial Hospital for treatment and observation concerning a head injury he sustained in his room late Friday night. Sands was apparently fooling around in his room with some of his friends when he fell and hit his head on a light switch. After being examined by Chris Woolverton of the college's Emergency Alert Team and other medical -personnel, the fresman biology major was advised to get some rest. Florida Trip Running Smoothly; Final Payment Due This Month According to Joe Galli, Student Government's coordinator of the Florida trip, everything is running smoothly, and 74 people will by taking the trip scheduled from March 1 to March 8. Galli explained that the final payment is due by the end of the month and so far there have been no problems with payments. In fact, many people have been making payments ahead of time. He noted that anyone interested in going can still do so if they pay for the trip in one lump sum. Everyone who is going on the trip is asked to see Galli at the SG office on the second floor of Weckesser Hall today or tomorrow in the afternoon to sign contracts and finalize arrangements with Student Government. There are three plans from which to choose. All three offer air transportation from Philadelphia. Plans A and C include unlimited use of a car, and plans B and C include accomodations at a hotel on the beach. Galli noted that plan C, "The Tradewinds Deluxe Hotal Package," has increased by $10. Bus transportation will be available to Philadelphia at a cost of $15. Bus tickets can be,purchased through the SG office the week before the trip. According to the travel agent other schools have booked over 1000 people for the trip and Galli noted that five other schools will be going at the same time with approximately 1000-lSOOpeople. Galli commented that once in Florida, everyone is on their own for the week. He pointed out that the response to the trip was not as great as he had anticipated. He reasoned th at lack of money may have prevented some people from going and the fact that this is the first time SG is doing this may have made some peopleapprehensive. Galli said, "Hopefully next year we can get a lot more people going." He added th at th e feedback from this year's trip will help to get people interested in future trips. He hopes that by working through a travel agent, SG can possible offer .::ent prices. Galli concluced, " I . h~~e everything works out well smce 1~ 1s the first time I ever did anythmg like this."

When contacted, Nesbitt Hospital listed Sands as fair and resting comfortably. Woolverton reported that when he spoke to Sands on Sunday evening, the freshman was feeling much better, and was reading some of the books his friends brough over for him earlier in the day. He went on to mention that if Sands continues to feel better, his doctors reportedly will release him in a day or two. Peter Steve the class happens to be 12, but Ex·ecutive Council only consists of 10 members! When no one shows up for the meeting, we cannot vote on matters which pertain to and benefit YOU. We feel more class involvement is necessary for our class to be successful and run efficiently. The class constitution provides Executive Council without the option to appoint freshman students to serve on exe::utive council. These selected members will have a vote at all class and Executive Council meetings, and will have the same privileges as an executive member. These appointed members will be selected by Executive Council on a merit basis. WE are looking for 3 students who we feel will be most beneficial to the class. So, come on ! We need your ideas, your proposals, and most importantly, your support. YOU elected us to be the leaders of the class, to be the "doers"; but we can't do anything without you to back us. One half hour is all it will take. Surely, that is not asking too much. We realize everyone cannot make the meetings, and we don't expect everyone to be there. But please, make an effort.

Blumfield added. "we (Wilkes ) will be here ten years from now - a lot of other schools will not be here ten years from now."

Nunez also reported that the Academic Standards Committee of the faculty is considering a proposal to change the deadline for course withdrawal without the consent of the instructor from the end of the tenth week to the end of the fourth week. The committee is also making changes regarding withdrawals and audits. Blumfield noted that once the Academic Standards Committee decides what to do, SG will decide what if any response will be necessary. In fund requests, the computer club requested $125 to help pay for a trip to IBM in New York next Tuesday. Blumfield closed the meeting and reopened it so that voting could be done at the same meeting. After some discussion by the SG representatives, a motion to grant the money was passed unanimously.

It is either a do or die decision 011 their part and we hope that whatever they decide, that it will be for the right reason. The history of the teacher evaluation is long and boring. The Beacon has covered the issue since day one and have given it our full support. Even though in its few attempts to has failed, sometimes miserably, we always felt that given time the project would mature and become very effective. To Student Government the project hs been a royal pain in the neck. The time put into it has not been worth the result so far. We understand the negative outlook some SG members have toward the evaluation but no one said it was going to be easy. It is our suggestion that Student Government give it one more try. This involves either hiring a consultant to find a way to implement the evaluation and compile the data into readable · form or FULLY investigate the problem themselves. It has to be a total commitment on their part otherwise they will never find the correct answer. If after a commeadable effort is made and it is foundthat the evaluation process in worthless then it shold be dropped. A commendable effort, however, is one that involve developing a questionnaire that meets the students needs and can also be used to feed into a computer to compile the data. As many classes as posible must b e evaluated with high percentage of attendance in each. The results must be made available before registration and in presented in a , style that is easy to understand. The work behind the project cannot be passed off to the SG Academic Committee Chairman alone. It should be shared among all SG members. It is a lot of work but if it benefits the college which we believe it will, then it certainly is worth it. Guest Editorial ...................... . Respect Others Acts of aggression and violence against individuals and nations threaten the peace of our world. Our concern and prayers are not only for the swift and safe return of the hostages held by the militants in Iran, but for a return to reason and principle in resolving the world's problems. In these times of political unrest and upheaval, I wish to assure our foreign-born students of Wilkes College's continued commitment to respect the rights of the individual and to maintain a free and open society. It is my fervent hope that all of us recognize the danger to ourselves and others in behaving irrationally or in seeking to blame the irresponsible acts of a lawless few on those not involved in those acts. Let us not look for scapegoats. Let us reaffirm our faith in the goals of the College, as stated in "An Educated Man," to seek truth ... to be aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs ... to respect the religious convictions of all men .. to participate constructively in the social, economic, cultural, and political life of the community .. . to communicate ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding unites men in their search for truth.

Why did the person committing the worse offense get the lighter punishment? I understand that the school wants to do away with cheating, but what does this example set by the school mean ? We're not allowed to cheat in class, but we're safe so long as we break into the professor's office? , The persons cheating in the computer science class get a semester suspension. The person breaking into the philosophy department merely isn't allowed to get caught doing it again. If need be, the school may borrow my ruler to slap the latter's knuckles. Why are the punishments so unequal? Various students gave comments. 1. The student had good grades. A lot of us have good grades, and they weren't gotten by cheating. Many students have really poor grades, but at least it's an honest effort. 2. The student had a lot to lose future-wise. All the students have a lot to lose. Tr u UStee nOnOTe d To Serve College And Students To the Editor: Early this year you wrote that you weren't sure that students should consider it an honor to attend Wilkes. As a member of your trustees, I'd like you and all your colleagues to know that I consider it an honor to serve you and your college in any way I can. In December you carried news of vandalism and cheating, now ripe and rampant in all U.S.A. centres of education - except perhaps the solid South. Compliments to the South and to their academic honor systems. Please recognize that any honor system rubs on to other aspects of college life - social, athletic, personal, religious, etc. etc. Perhaps you'll pardon my persistence on this subject, but I believe it is crucial to American ideals and behavior. And an honor system is crucial to Wilkes' future progress and development. Since the administration drags heels on this basic fundament . I suggest you students demand an honor system and make it work. The it will be an honor to attend Wilkes . Edward W. Bixby, M.D. NOTICE Starting on January 30th the CoOp Office will be open on Wednesday nights until 8:00 p.m. NOTICE The Financial Aid Office will be closed today. Anyone having questions can visit the office on Friday, when regular hours will be resumed. Everyone knew with the crackdown on cheating •that the first people caught were going to be examples. Somehow a curve ball came into the game, and only two of the three students got what they deserved. The third one showed the example to the students that you can get out of anything even if caught redhanded. What makes the difference? I wonder. 3. " It's typical." No comment necessary. Every Wilkes student understands this. As THE BEACON says, when the decision is made not to suspend a student, it can't be changed. However, it's a shame the other students, whoever they are, can't be let in this semester. The example they're supposed to set is ruined. Why punish them when the school itself ruined the point they're intending to maki;. I have one final question. Since there's no longer a need for locks, stealing is condoned, and no longer a need for security, even when they catch someone it doesn't matter, can't we save money in these areas to put towards a new gym . Name Withheld Upon Request SG Used Bookstore Should Open Sooner To the Editor: As the semester is rapidly maturing, stqdents should be getting adjusted to their new classes. Since we are already in the second week of the spring semester, I hope that this adjustment is almost complete. I, however, am finding it hard to adjust with my classes. As a paying Wilkes College student, I am just managing to pay my tuition bills on time which leaves me very little spending money while at school. Much of this money is either saved by buying books for classes at reduced prices through the used bookstore or selling my books at the same worthwhile needed establishment. Many students, like myself, missed out very much in this 1980 spring semester because the used bookstore was opened too late with little publicity. · It does not take a genious to realize that the entire first week of school without a book is virtually impossible for the average student. I think the oversight on the person(s l responsible for the late opening of the used bookstore is a very critical one and should not go unnoticed. The purpose of this letter is not to belittle any individual but to give constructive criticism. It might benefit the entire student population if the used bookstore in the future would be open during the first days into the new semester and even if possible, to open it a couple of days prior to the start of the semester. The used bookstore is a tremendous asset that should not be neglected.

Dr. Martin Luther King was a man who selflessly devoted his time, resources, energy and love to advancing the cause of Peace and Brotherhood. I would like to congratulate and thank Bethel A.M.E. Church, The Courtdale United Methodist Church and The Church of Christ Unitign for sponsoring this service. Though an assassin's bullet silenced his voice, it is the moral duty of every man and woman to perpetuate his dream. Dr. King sought to "help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understandign and brotherhood.'' He realized that race relations were, and ~ill are, the greatest bit of unfinished business facing this nation. He believed that "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.'' There are far to many idiots in this world. And having made that statement, I have the unhappy burden of proving it. When I turn on my radio, when I hear that Americans are being held hostage In the Iranian embassy, I say that we have been lied to: Hitler is not dead; when I turn on my radio, when I hear that Jews have been insulted, mistreated, and persecuted, I say that we have been lied to: Hitler is not dead; when I turn on my radio, when I hear that Blacks have been lynched in America, I say that we have been lied to: Hitler is not dead; when, finally, I turn on my radio and hea,that in Africa forced labor has been lnaugerated and legalized, I say that we have certainly been lied to: Hitler is not dead. As a Black, I am particularly wary of anyone who abuses the Jews, because I know he is talking about me. An anti-Semite is inevltably anti-Black. Frantz Fanon asserts that "It Is Utopian to try to ascertain in what ways one kind of inhuman behavior differs from another kind of inhuman behavior." He asks, "Is there any truth any difference between one racism and another?" Unfortunately, we have done far to little towards fulfilling Dr. King's dream. As students and young people, we represent the single gr ~atest energy source this country has ever had. We can no longer passively accept the injustice. which has gone before us. I say to all my black, white, brown and yellow brothers that we have all got to work together to make a better · world for us and our children to live In. For it is only by working together that we can ever hope to achieve a relation of true equal integration Keep the faith Respectfully yours, David A.

Sunday Starts 11te!i �Page 6, The Beacon, January 24, 1980 Blue Cross and'Blue Shield ; Protection You Might Need Are you medically insured in the event of an accident or illness? If the answer to this question is anything other than yes, you're taking a mighty big chance. Accidents can happen to anyone and at anytime as evidenced by the recent mishap suffered by our Student Government president. Usually, most students are at least partially covered by policies held by their parents. In this case, it is advisable for the student to know certain facts such as ; the name of the insurance company, the policy number and the extent of coverage. Some hospitals require this information before they can treat a patient even in an emergency situation so, it is best to have this information in wallet for quick reference. The students who shoul!I, be con, cerned about this subject are those about to graduate, especially if their plans include moving away from home after schoo. In this case, it is not always possible to stay covered by the parents policy. This is where Blue Cross and Blue Shield can step in and help. These programs were established in order to help people meet-the expenses of hospital and doctor care. A brief description of the benefits offered by the Blue Cross-Blue Shield programs are as follows. Under the Blue Cross hospitalization plan, 60 days of hospital care per contract year is offered with the subscriber paying the hospital only $5 a day. This includes semi-private accomodations with room, meals, general nursing care, Intensive Care Unit and many others. All medically necessary hospital services are covered in full when provided in member hospitals. Other areas of coverage in the Blue Cross plan include: oral surgery, transplants, Red Cross blood charges, outpatient accident care, home health care and alcoholism rehabilitation. There are many benefits in the Blue Shield Medical-Surgical plan. In non-surgical cases such as pneumonia, diabetes, etc., Blue Shield pays for doctor's care according to the schedule of up to $30' for the first day and up to $10 each Movie Review '' Electric Horseman The Electric Horseman is a cheerful comedy bringing to light warm, romantic, and old-fashioned values on the screen. This is Robert Redford's first film since All The President's Men and definitely reveals another facet to his career. Redford is the fivetimes world champion rodeo cowboy, Sonny Steele, who has been put out to pasture selling "Ranch Breakfast Cereal" by parading around in a cowboy suit that lights up like a Christmas tree. Sonny gets disgusted at the time of a corporate convention in Las Vegas where he spots his costar - a prize stallion in a flashing saddle surrounded by chorus girls, tranquilized to remain docile along with being pumped full of steroids. He identifies with the horse and does his part by riding him across Caesar's Place stage, off the ramp and down the neon strip, thus kidnapping the corporations $12-million symbol. Enter Jan Fonda as a highpowered New York TV journalist. ,, who pursues Redford looking for a scoop. Facing arrest for aiding the felon, Fonda has no other choice but to take off with the horse-napper as he plans to nurse the stallion back to health and then set him free in the Utah mountains. They are pursued by cops, motorcycles, helicopters, as they take off in horse campers, on horseback and finally on foot hating each other every step of the way. Praise floods in for Sonny's nobility, honor and courage. The mismatched fugitives hike across the plains of the American Wesi leading the stallion to freedom and falling in love. Country music star Willie Nelson makes an interesting acting debut as Sonny's manager and sings most of the film's soundtrack as well. More of the footage that was devoted to the scenic American West should have been devoted to him and Valerie Perrine who played Sonny's wife. The Electric Horseman is indeed a not to be missed film .

The amounts paid out depend on the amount of time, skill and effort expended by the doctor. Various amounts are paid out for surgical cases depending on the surgery being performed. In the event that surgery is required to treat fractures or dislocations due to an injury the total amount paid for each admission will not exceed $360. Blue Shield also offers a plan where doctors will accept Blue Shield's payment as Payment-InFull for covered services when your total amount income is $4,000 or less.

The Great Spirit has found his way back to the Wilkes campus nestled in this quiet town of Wilkes-Barre in the beautiful snow covered Northeast rolling hills. (WHY GOLLY GEE - Did I say SNOWCOVERED????) Well exxxccuuuuuussee me ! What do you think of this snow drought that is affecting this area? Awfully bad, HUH? How does old man winter expect us to have a Winter Carnival without any snow? ?? Grass (the green stuff still around) just doesn't cut it when you're trying to woosh down the dikes on your tobbogan ! We may even have to cancel our annual snowball fight with our rival Monarchs up the street! Oh wonderful spirit of the white stuf, dump a few feet on us ! 1 ! So how 'd everybody enjoy the semester break ? Tooo short seems to be the common complaint. My gosh some people are never satisfied 1 Well you can look at it this way, there's only 12 12 more weeks until NEXT semester break! At least that one will be longer. Anybody do anything interesting for those three weeks past? The general consenus that the spirit got was that everyone worked their butts off to pay for those outrageous books for those stupendous classes. Well, just remember as Mom says, " The money is going to build up your brain. What there is of it. " Has everyone settled into their new schedules yet? Don't tell me that you're still trying to get into those closed classes? Did everyone finally figure out that thsoe accelerated B.A. classes don't start for a few weeks yet? I guess so. There 's not as many confused faces around. By the way, what's wrong with sixty people in a bowling class?? ? Remember now, we're all going to really work at it this semester. No more letting everything go to the 13th week of school ! 1 We're going to keep up with the work this time.

J "How about a game of rolf ball?" is probably the firs t question you will be asked as you enter the Debate Union Room on the third floor of Kirby Hall . Rolf ball includes a felt material resemblance of a dart board and three ping-pong type balls which stick to the felt. That is, if you hit the board. Unfortunately, even with a large handicap, it is about as difficult to beat any of the members at a game of rolf ball as it is to win a debate against them . "It's a lot of fun, but at the same time there is a lot of work," states Dr. Bradford Kinney, Director of Forensics and team coach. " In debate a student learns skills which can help him or her in almost any field . In fact, one former member of the team is in law school, two are doctors and four mor~ are in medical school." Presently the team includes Business Administration, Accounting, Phychology, English, Biology and Communications Studies majors. President of the debate team and four year team veteran, Davida Roberts, cannot find one negative aspect about being a debater. "It has changed my perspective so much," she explains. "You are able to accept more, you learn how to deal with people, and you learn to budget your time effectively." The FORENSIC UNIT - ShPNn are the 1979-80 debate Bradford L.

When the team goes on trips to attend tournaments, the budget allows for $15 per day per person including meals, lodging and transportation. "This isn't easy to stretch, " says Dr. Kinney. Moreover, the students receive no financial assistance or scholarships for being on the team. "Anyone who would stay up all hours of the night has to really love wha:t they're doing. And believe me, the kids have SpP.nt many all-nighters in this room working," says Dr. Kinney. He adds that the only real problem they have is funds. "The team brings publicity to the school. After five and one-half years of building the squad, this year we have received more invitations to tournaments than we could ever attend. The first year I was here, we only received four invitations," states Dr. Kinney. Last semester the team traveled over 2,000 miles, received 14 trophies and entered the Philip Morris Marketing and Communications Competition. This semester the team will enter the National Discussion Contest. the National Individual Events Competition, and travel to between 10 and 12 high schools to perform demonstration debates and speeches, besides entering the usual amount of tournaments. "The next few tournaments should bring our trophies to over 300," states Dr. Kinney confidently . After entering the debate room, and losing a game of rolf ball to the experienced debators, the next request made of you will probably be "Let's debate! " Be prepared to lose again. Patti Sparlow R eaccreditation (Continued from Page I) cepted principles described in the Audit Guide for Colleges and Universities.'' The team discovered that the college is already planning to cope with future financial pressures such as " ... shifting enrollment trends, inflation, and competition from other institutions." Ackerman concluded the topic by saying, "The team is most impressed by a spirit of community and harmony between the financial management priorities and the institution's educational mission." When asked to comment on the report, Dr., Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs said, "We feel it is an exc~llent report. There is nothing in the report we had to refute or disagree with." Hartdagen added that the college must now start looking into how they will address the evaluation team's recommendations to aid the future improvement of the institution.

After reviewing applications, John Meyers and the deans will decide which students will be selected as assistants. GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS The graduate division offers degrees in several areas and as Meyers put it, "MBA (Master of Business Administration ) is the hottest department,.'' Meyers explained that courses in the MBA program are offered at night making it possible to admit many working people who found out that they needed the degree to advance in their business. In addition to the MBA, Master of Science - degrees are offered in Mathematics and Physics, and Master of Science in Education degrees are offered in Biology, Chemistry, Education, English, History, Mathematics, Physics, Elementary Education and Special Education. The programs are approved by the Pennsylvania State Department of Education. A Reading Specialist program is New Location Of Theater Office; Kirby Hall 107 Chosen As Site Don't be surprised if you enter the Center for the Performing Arts later this semester and find that Dorothy Carrol is not in her familiar office. The theater department has made plans to set up their base of operations in Kirby 107 sometime later in the semester. The decision to set up the theater department in Kirby came about as a result of several factors. First, two of the theater arts instructors, Jay Siegfried and Dr. Leonard Powlick, have their offices on the second floor of Kirby. Also, Dr. Thomas Kaska, Chairman of the Language and Literature Department (which now incorporates the theater department) is located in Kirby Hall. Thus, the department feels that having the office located in room 107 will made it easier for Ms. Carrol to coordinate the efforts of the faculty and staff of the theater . department. Secondly, the move will leave Dorothy Carrol's old office to be filled by a new person. Tentatively this person will be responsible for keeping the CPA in top physical condition. He will be responsible for seeing to it that all systems and equipment in the facility are ready for use at all times. As of the present his duties are scheduled to include building maintenance and CO"r- Computer Club Sponsors Trip ToNewYork Winter Weekend The Computer Club is sponsoring a trip to the IBM facility in New York on Tuesday, January 29. Although members of the computer club are being given first preference in obtaining bus seats, a limited number of seats are available and these are open to the college in general. Cost of the trip is between $2.00 and $3.00. Reservations can be made immediately , in the MathComputer Science office, SLC 416. The bus will leave at 8:00 a.m. At IBM, there will be a tour of the facilities, lectures and demonstrations of the newest equipment including computers and robots. The bus will stop for lunch and should return to the college by 4: 00 p.m. Computer Club president Gregg Cook noted that previous groups that have taken the tour have enjoyed it. Louis Czachor Continued from Page I dinating the crews to run the special events and lectures, scheduled by Alfred S. Groh, Director of Cultural Affairs. The college recently began the search for this new person for the CPA. Therefore, the theater department will not set up the new office in Kirby until the position is filled. However, everything is ready to set up the office at any time. There is also a tentative plan to utilize part of Kirby 107 as a theater arts classroom. Instructor Klaus Holm and Dorothy Carrol believe this is a very reasonable idea as there is a lack of classrooms for the t'1eater arts classes. Dr. Kaska statesthatthereareseveraloptions open for the best utilization of the new offtce space by the theater department. All of these options are being considered. Those concerned with the move agree that it is strategic and sensible. i S~;!f:~gT~:~~!°:i~~::e~:::n~ events. He also pointed out that whatever is contributed by the teams will be matched by SG. Dave Blumfieds also reported that the stereo should be installed in the Student Center by the end of the semester. President Capin commented that during the winter months when students are busy with schoolwork and other things, there is a tendency to become discouraged, but students should look forward to the springtime. Capin noted that he is "pleased to talk about our athletic teams" and that the best thing we can do is to be there for their games and meets. He continued by saying that the wrestling and basketball teams have done extremely good this year. He asked for support for all of the teams: wrestling, basketball, swimming, and ice hockey. John Reese introduced the wrestling team and Ron Righter introduced the men's basketball team. Righter commented that the "game against King's is most crucial." He explained "It's a very very important game and up to this point it has been a very very good year." Blumfield suggested that the students act like ladies and gentlemen at all sporting events. He also asked that when students cheer that they cheer in unity. Dean Ralston commented that "it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game that counts," and then he finished the assembly by leading the students in the famous Ralston Cheer.

Kendig continues to lead the nation in scoring and is a bonafide AllAmerican candidate. Karen Kay led the F&M attach with 19 points while team-mate Sue Bowen netted 15 tallies. Aiding the Wilkes cause was a pair of former Meyers High School standouts Mary Jo Frail and Mary Jean Farrell. Frail hit for ten while Farrell scored 12 points in a losing effort.

The action, which will take effect in the 1981-82 season, greatly distressed the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, which was meeting concurrently in Washington. The AIAW, which has governed women's sports since its creation in 1971, said it was considering legal action against the NCAA. AIAW delegates accused the NCAA of plotting a takeover of women's athletics, a fear that was hardly dispelled by NCAA secretary James Frank who said, " I don't think there's any question it would be favorable for an individual institution to have a single organization governing men's and women's · athletics to deal with." THE BEACON agrees with him . It makes little sense for collegiate sports to operate under often conflicting sets of rules for men and women - or, for that matter, to hold separate conventions. It may even be that Frank's organization, which is older and richer than the AIA W, is the logical one to do the unifying. But any claim the NCAA might have to leadership in female athletics is considerably diminished by the fact that it has been notably unsympathetic to women's sports, consistently resisting efforts to apply Title IX ( the law outstanding sex discrimination in federally assisted schools) to athletes. Having lost that battle, however, the NCAA now indicates that it sees the handwriting on the wall. One can only hope that Frank faithfuly reflects revised NCAA thinking when he says that in the light of Title IX, women should "participate fully in intercollegiate sports." All that aside, there is something troubling about the fact that the NCAA move in women's sports occurs at a time of growing concern about its administration of MEN'S sports. Continued revelations of recruiting abuses, the spreading academic-transcript scandal and the shocking influence exercised by booster clubs lend urgency to the old question of whether institutions of higher learning belong to the business of big-time entertainment, which college sports have long become. Colleges and universities must decide who shall govern them and their sports. 6:00-Crazy Horse vs. CHAOS Bedford vs. Buckateers 7:00-Wyo.

In the last issue of Amateur Wrestling News our Colonels were considered the 19th best team Nationwide. But the most re- " I don't understand it. We wrestled very well and won convincingly in our last four meets. The signficant wins over Syracuse (33-14 ) and Tennessee (25-14) should have kept us in the rankings," noted Coach John Reese. " Evidently they (Amateur Wrestling and National BART COOK IN ACTION cent release has North Carolina in our position and undeserving Tern-pie University in the number 20 spot. Mat News ) thought our sixth placefinish in the 'Wilkes Open' wasn't good enough," added the 27 year mentor. Iowa, as usual, was ranked at the top with Eastern rival Lehigh University receiving a welldeserved second in the January 14th poll. Cal Poly was in the third spot, while Iowa St., Oklahoma St., Wisconsin, Arizona St., Oklahoma, Minnesota and Kentucky rounded off the "Top 10." Penn St. University, who the Colonels will face on February 5 was rated 11th and followed by Clarion St. (Wilkes Open Champs), Oregon, Bloomsburg, Auburn, LSU, Colorado, Oregon St. , N.C. and Temple respectively. The Blue and Gold only wrestled one match last week and took a 36-6 victory over Rutgers University at New Brunswick. The triumph raised the Colonels to 8-2 overall and extended John Reese's career coaching record to 275-00-8. The " Pope" of Wilkes College athletics has guided the small Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) school into battle with the "Big Guys." The mentor has led Wilkes teams to three undefeated seasons, 14 MAC Championships, and a runner-up finish in last year's EIWA tournament. Reese will be out to defeat his Alma Mater when Wilkes hosts Penn St. U. In Saturday's tilt Eddie Johnson, a junior from Chelmsford, Mass., got the ball rolling for Wilkes, with 'a 9-1 decision at 118 to even his record to 3-3-1. !\~ark Popple, Wilkes-Barre also hit the .500 mark will then lead his matmen to S.U.N.Y . at Binghamton in an attempt to raise their dual series slate to 10-0. The Colonels hammered the Colonials 30-10 last year. Looking ahead the Wilkesmen take the road for a triangular meet with Connecticut and Southern Connecticut February 2, before returning home with PENN STATE February 5. Dan Miner, a junior from Chambersburg, wrestled the Rutger's team's best grappler in Doug Oliver and lost a 10-4 decision. Oliver remained unbeaten while Miner fell to 5-3-2. Junior Rick Smith, Walden, Vt. , won a forfeit to lift his record to 7-11 at 190 and Bob Matzelle, a senior from Lindenhurst, wrestled to a 9-4 victory to stretch his record to 7-1. Bob Gaetano C oloneffiSWIMTEAM LOSES ANOTHER MODEL ATHLETE:. BRYANBILLIG Bryan Billig, Wilkes College's tough 134-pound wrestler is one fo those " model athletes" who sets his goals high and attains them through hard work and dedication. He's not a so-called " natural", although Colonel wrestling fans think winning comes easy for the junior from New Tripoli, Pennsylvania . Bryan does make it Look easy, but he developed that ability and confidence with arduous practices and drilling. " I just give 100 percen t in practices and in a match and always hope to learn something new everyday" commented Billig. Bryan also notes he is improving constantly and credits 27-year coach John G. Reese and his work-out partners. Billig was a top college recruit and many have broken the line-up at many " good wrestling schools", but it didn't just happen. His credentials at Northwest Lehigh High School included a District and Regional championship and three letters in track. That looks attractive to a college scout. However, many district and regional champs choose to go -to a " good wrestling school " with NCAA Division I caliber and get lost in the crowd. But Billig survived that stiff competition and hsa been wearing the varsity stripes since the first meet of his freshman year. O.J. Costello, of the Wilkes-Barre recreation board and well-known mat authority said " Bryan was going to c it". Whatever " it was, Billig has probably done it. Unless " It" was an NCAA placefinish and Bryan could be the third wrestler in Wilkes history to turn that trick. John Carr 067) and Joe Weindl (160 ) won third and fifth places respectively in 1969. In his first big college dual, Billig decked Lehigh's EIWA runner-up Steve Bastianelli in an atmosphere of pressure at Grace Hall. It was obvious that Billig would be successful in the years to come based on that performance . He went on to post a 20-10 overall slate that year and 14-6 in duals. He also placed sixth in the EIW A event. Bryan improved on that finish in last year's tourney, garnering the runnerup trophy when he lost a heartbreaker to East Stroudburg's Greg Shoemaker in overtime. In a dual meet last winter Billig defeated NCAA Division I Champ Kenny Mallory of Montclair St. It was the highlight of Billig's sophomore season and the highlight for many Wilkes fans also . He did everything but throw Mallory out of the gym that night and won by a disqualification. In his most recent performances Bryan won first place in the Wilkes Open and also copped the Outstanding honors. Bryan raised his record to 82 after the Rutgers match and his career keeps improving everyday. Bryan didn't win a State Championship in high school, but Colonel opponents better beware, because his sights are set at the Nationals. Bob Gaetano 2-0, but Surage escaped and registered a takedown for a 3-2 advantage. Cherrie then escaped to tie the score at three, but Surage gained control with the final takedown to win. Co-captains Mark Densberger, Danville and Bart Cook, Neptune, N.J ., carry 8-1 and 5-1 records respectively. Densberger triumphed 14-2 against his Rutgers adversary, while Cook didn't wrestle. Cook was ill and rested for the meet, but is expected back this week. Pete Creamer, a freshman from Bellmore, N.Y., won 13-6 in the 177 bout to up his slate to 4-2. The Blue and Gold forces will play host to Lycoming College Saturday evening at 8 p.m. at our Gymnasium. Wilkes handed the Warriors a 27-12 setback at Williamsport last winter and our MARK DENSBERGER at 3-3 with a forfe it at 126. Colonels tough 134 pounder Bryan Billig trouned Lou Trygar 7-4 in the to raise his record to equal the team's slate at 8-2. Billig's opponent wrestled defensively to prevent the pin and scored his only four points near the end of the match . Many matmen who wrestle Bryan know his capabilities and try to stay away from him . In the 142 pound match-up yearling Lenny Nelson, Richland, N.J ., came through with an impressive 16-6 victory to raise his record to 31. Nelson filled in f9r Steve DeGiso three weeks ago and has looked awesome. He's a little too small for 142, but when Billig drop~ to 126, Nelson might get the opportunity to compete in the lighter class. Sophomore George Cherrie, Fleetwood, saw his record go to 1-11, losing a 5-3 verdict to highlyregarded Tony Surage in the 150 fray . Cherrie was upset-minded entering the final minutes as he led The Wilkes College swim team lost to Swarthmore College last Saturday by a score of 59-45 in Swarthmore.· The team's record now stands at 1-2 with a meet against Lycoming College in Williamsport yesterday. With the absence of 3 swimmers Wilkes lost its flexibility in placing its swimmers strategically in the 12 events. Also four races that Swarthmore won should have been victories for Wilkes which would have put the win in the Colonels's hands. Despite the loss Peggy Butchkavitz and Reed Bello, both freshmen, had outstanding days. Butchkavitz swam the butterfly leg in the winning 400 medly relay, took first place in the 200 fly , second in the 200 breaststroke, and third in the 200 individual medly. Swimming in events that she usually does not, Butchkavitz proved herself to be a tough competitor. Again Reed Bello took two first places in the required and optional diving events. Bello, an excellent c.tiver, follows in the steps of Paul Niedzwiecki and Cindy Glawe both top divers for Wilkes and MAC medalists in years gone by. Butchkavitz and Hello's combined efforts equaled 19 out of the 45 points Wilkes scored overall . Not bad at all. In the four freestyle events ; the 50, 100, 200, and 500 ; Wilkes should have won each of these but did not. Tri-captain Jim Edwards was touched out in the 100 and 200 freestyle by a matter of inches set- tling for two second-place finishes . Freshman Dave Gergen had an off day and placed third in the 50 and 500 freestyle events. Swarthmore's winning times in those events could have been beaten by Gergen if he were swimming up to par. At one point Wilkes was winning the meet by a score of 27-25 after the sixth event but then fell behind never to regain the lead. In other events Enrico Ratti placed third in the 200 freestyle race and Frank Gardner grabbed a second place in the required diving event. John Moffatt went from third place to second in the 200 backstroke by beating out Swarthmore swimmer in the last lap of the race. Perry Lichtinger, who rejoined the team after wrestling last semester finished second behind Bello in the optional diving event. Other swimmers who went to Swarthmore for the meet were Rob Doty who swam breaststroke leg in the 400 medly relay, Pat Slowey, Alan Shaw, and Meggan Caverly. The next meet is this Saturday against Western Maryland at home in the King's College pool. ADDED EXTRAS ... The traffic on the road was bumper to bumper ... John Moffatt and Meggan Caverly got romantic on the way home under a perfect _setting. Eight Moons shined over route No. 76 that night ... Jim Edwards �For a while, at least, the " right-er way" has been derailed. The Wilkes men's basketball team, heading into a five-straight Middle Atlantic Conference-game part of the schedule (four on the road) have failed in the first two at press time. After picking up a non-conference win over Moravian last Monday, the Colonels suffered road losses to Albright 74-67 in Reading and last Saturday were defeated 78-66 by the "high-flying" Royals of Scranton University. On Monday, the Blue and Gold were expected to travel to Elizabethtown for another league show-down before returning home yesterday to meet traditional rival King's. This Saturday the Blue and Gold travel to Delaware Valley for still another MAC game in Doylestown ( the hometown of Wilkes' coaches Rigtu.er and Justice). Next Monday, Wilkes will host Division II power Philadelphia Textile before traveling to Susquehanna on the 30th. Going into Monday's game with E-town, Wilkes was 7-5 overall but 3-3 in the MAC. Scranton, with an overall losing record, is atop the MAC with a 4-1 slate with King's second at 2-2. Monday and yesterday's games might not have been only crucial, but critical with the way Scranton is playing. Against Moravian in Bethlehem the Colonels came away with a 76-69 win. -Leading the way was senior captain Kendall McNeil with 23 points and 12 rebounds. Also netting double figures for Wilkes were Mike McCarrie with 14 and Kevin Walker with ten. Wilkes had its best shooting day as a team against the Greyhounds ripping the nets at a .72 per cent clip (31 for 42) . But, as always Wilkes was not so awesome on the free-throw line hitting only 14 of 24. Anyway it was a win, and wel'll take it. Then on Wednesday, the Blue and Gold traveled to Reading and meet his holiness Will Renken and the Albright College Lions. Renken, who will find some way to get his team in the MAC playoffs this year, handed Wilkes a 74-67 loss. Wilkes was led offensively by junior guard Mike McCarrie's 26 points on 13 field goals. Also hitting twin figures were McNeil with 12 and Kevin Walker and Tony Madden with 11 apiece. Madden pulled down 13 boards in the game while Walker added eight rebounds. Ron Morel led the team with eight assists. Wilkes was 28 of 64 from the field against Albright, who Ron righter says could go undefeated the rest of the..yay. The game with Scranton was supposed to be on TV, but wasn't. Because Wilkes-Barre couldn't pick up the signal, the game was not telecast. That's a big mistake with all the advertising and everything. Somebody goofed and somebody will have to pay for that. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that no one will see the early part of the second half. At least Righter does not want to see it. Wilkes led throughout the first half at " Duh U" and held a fivepoint margin at the half. Then in the second period, the Royals outscored Wilkes in the first seven minutes 18-2. And that was all she wrote. Irv "I in the Sky" Johnson had his greatest game of his AllAmerican career Saturday scoring 27 points and pulling down 20 rebounds while completely controlling teh tempo of the game. Johnson's a great player and there's no doubt about that. But the guy's a hot-dog! He lets you believe that he's Mr. Cool and nothing bothers him, but what happened when Tony Madden committed his Walker was the only other Colonel in double figures with 13 tallies. Leading scorer Kendall McNeil was held to just four points, while fighting a bout with the flu . McCue's seven assists lead the team. TIP-INS: ... highest point-total by a Colonel this year is 26 points . done by McCarrie three times ... Artie Meigh, the Blue and Gold's leading field-goal shooter, is off the Security! It's always needed by everybody everywhere. And we think it's need most at the Wilkes Gym. In a recent men's basketball game a~ainst Kean College, a near-riot broke out but was luckily contamed by the two officials on hand. We think some type of security is needed for athletic events and concerts at the gym. At Kin~'s, they have a system whereby students are assigned as security to handle any wrong doings. We could easily accomplish this by hiring some football players to act as security. · 5th foul hitting Johnson late in game on a lay-up by Irv.

Eddie White III THEY HEARD US! Last week we mentioned how local media overlooks the area's colleges when it comes to sports coverage. In the last few days we have received various reaction from the article and most has been from people who agreed with us. Although there are many aspects of the local media which does not give college :;ports the ink it needs, we must recognize those elements of the media which does. WBRE. led by veteran sportscaster Joe Gries, has made a great step in the last year and a half to help give college sports a boost in the area. WBRE has founded the Metro Intercollegiate Conference (MIC) involving King's, Wilkes and Scranton University. Last year, Scranton won the team trophy with more victories over the other two schools in selected sports. King's finished second and the Colonels placed third. But, no matter who wins the team trophy, here is WBRE helping college sports. Included in their added coverage of different sports, WBRE has televised local college basketball games the last few years. This has been tremendous for the local schools. People who have never seen Wilkes basketball before. now know who they are by watching the Wilkes- King's games the last two seasons. From an undisclosed source, one of the area's media outlets which was invited to the Colonel Classic media conference. said "it wasn't called." The outlet was, however, invited through the mail and was in fact called the afternoon of the conference as a reminder. Maybe our little mention last week his caused a stir among the media . The Wilkes basketball program, which seems to have failed off the "right" track for at least three games, suffered a severe blow last week with the announcement that leading field goal shooter Artie Meigh, a senior from Richmond Hill, N. Y., was academically ineligible for the rest of the year. It's a tough loss for the team, for Artie and for the school. The team loses a great shooter, or "zone buster" as Ron Righter calls him, Artie loses a chance ·a t getting a degree at Wilkes and the school loses the hope o getting Wilkes on the map through basketball - at least for now. But, the Meigh situation reminds us of what we are here for - an education. And school is first and athletics come second. But still, most schools are staying alive because of the success of their sports. Scranton University's national championship in basketball did more for enrollment than any advertising could do. It's a fact that a lot of officials refuse to recognize, bu athletics is a vital part to a coJlege or university surviving. At Wilkes, we have to win - win big, so we can bring in students. It's like tha everywhere folks! Top Assist Man Pat McCae The Wilkes College Mixed League opened its spring 1980 season last Friday with fourteen teams and a new three division set-up. Only two teams were able to sweep a series though; Bud's Compressor & Supply nailed Good News with Doug Williams (217-606) leading the way and Paul Kanner's 189-472 led the Avengers over the EE's 3-0. The first semester champs Poky's - were among those beginning the campaign with two wins. Also in that category were the Aristocrats (Jim Moran 197-505), Assorted Nuts (Lisa Hughes 181473) , the Veterans Club I (Jim Caulson 212-569) and the Whippets. ONE all of last season ...

We could still accomodate a few more bowlets, if interested call David Williams at 823-2406. We have taken in some local high school games in the area and believe that Jim Beddall of Seton Catholic and Coughlin's John Quinn desesrve the "Coach of teh Year" awards, Both are great basketball men who have taken their teams to great heights this season. Quinn is one of the " Big Four" in sports at Coughlin along with great coaches Joe Moran, Bob Corba and Bana Balum. Hope you caught the DePaul basketball game this past Sunday. it shows that you don't need multi-million dollar gymnasiums to win in athletics. Here _is the number one team in the nation in Division I basketball and they play 1n a band-box, Ray Meyer says, "it might not be the nicest looking place, but it's home." And that is what the Wilkes Gym is. Call it what you will, " the little house on the prairie, " " the chamber of horrors. " or whatever, but it's home. Recently an idiot sports-caster referred to our gym on the air as a "dark, dank, damp" place. But, the .greatest quote we've beard came from the grand wizard himself, big Ed Donohue of King's College who said, "the Wilkes Gym is dark,.it's so dark it's a nice place to take a date." You gotta love big Ed. · Finally this week, we would like to make special mention and send out best wishes to Wilkes athletic director and wrestling coach John Reese, who knotched his 275th career win over the weekend. That's 275 wins in 27 years of coaching. Reese is a bonafide hall-of-fa mer and a legend. Congrats coach! • �the ◊beacon Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pa. (lj ... = . en a.

Colleen Gries, class presi~ent, and Jon Pliskin had to travel to New York eight hours before the showmg of the film as Bill Lewis and Janet Croft set up the projectors in the gym. Gries and Pliskin arrived back in Wilkes-Barre with a half-hour to spare. 'Jr. Class Surprise!' Almost Backfired "If anything can go wrong, it will. " Murphy's Law certainly came true and sent junior class officers and executive council members into a tail-spin this past Friday afternoon. It came to light that the film, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," featured as the Junior Class Surprise was no where near the Wilkes College campus. The junior class originally decided to go through Student Government to acquire the film; after a preliminary application was filed, nothing more was done to actually get the film . Panic first set in about noon and shortly afterwards levelheadedness took over in the form of long distance calls to New York and California in order to clear the use of " Rocky Horror" and locate the nearest reels. At approximately 3:00 word came that the junior class could use the film . One catch - the film had to be picked up In New York City at Twentieth Century Fox. Without wasting much time Colleen Gries, junior class president, aided by Jon Pliskin began their journey to New York City. The weather was not the best but the remaining officers, executive council members and friends began gathering around 7 p.m. in the gym to set up. Popping corn, rolling out the tarps, setting up chairs and cranking up the basketball hoops took place. In keeping with the Wilkes grapevine, by the time the doors opened, the common question asked was "Did the movie get here yet?" That question was not able to be answered until about 10:30 when Ms. Gries, film in hand, came through the doors, relieved the built-up tension and gave everyone a good reason to smile. A near disaster was turned into another junior class success. Margaret Scholl In an attempt to raise the academic standards of the college, a proposal has been made in the Academic Standards Committee to change the withdrawal policy from 10 to four weeks, and only allow students to sign up for audits during the first week of classes, according to committee chairman, Dr. Owen Faut. "The problem is that students take courses, begin to fail , then withdraw. The result is that when transcripts are sent out to professional schools, a " W" is viewed as an "O". This is not doing the students any good," stated Dr. Faut. He continued that the next step students take is to audit a course. Eventually withdrawals and audits will be comparable to failures, and the academic standards of the institution are compromised. The proposal states that students will be allowed to audit a course only during the first week of classes. Withdrawals will be allowed through the fourth week of classes, shortening the 10 week period presently allowed. "The quality of the institution determines whether it is going to live or die, therefore upgrading the standards of the college is crucial," stated Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs. There will also be a great deal of flexibility during the first week of classes, he explained. Dr. Hartdagen continued that it is hoped ~tudents and faculty will take the question of withdrawal seriously. "The faculty have an obligation to discuss reasons for withdrawal from a course with students and examine whether or riot the student has a good reason," he stated. The two reasons this proposal is being made are, first, to determine and maintain the academic standards of the institution. Second, the faculty is unable to control classes No Recent SC Parties Arouses SG Concern · Student Government president, Dave Blumfield expressed his concern about the party situation on campus at the SG meeting Monday night. Blumfield noted that the Student Center has not been used for parties in recent weeks, and that clubs seem to be reluctant to spon- 1980 Winter Weekend Approaching Fast; 'Best Weekend' PromisedFor Everyone In the International Olympics, the competitors experience the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, but in Wilkes 1st Olympiad, you can only experience the thrill of victory, because February 8th, 9th and 10th will be a winning weekend for all involved. The purpose of the Wilkes 1st Olympiad is two-fold : to help raise funds for the United States Olympic Committee and to provide the best weekend for the students, faculty and administration. · The weekend is deemed to be such a success that our Public Relations Department has arranged for WNEP, WDAU and WBRE to provide live television coverage, as well as newspaper coverage from the Citizens' Voice, Times-Leader, and Sunday Independent. WCLH will be conducting an opinion poll, and The Beacon and Amnicola will be right there to capture t!le excitement at the events. Applications for entry into the Olympiad are still available, but the deadline is tomorrow, February 1st, so get yours in now. Each team (comprised of 10 guys and 10 girls), will represent a country. Each team is asked to provide their own country flag, a common identifying dress, and a coach. Each team member is asked to donate a minimum of fifty cents to be contributed to the United States Olympic Committee. Twenty member teams are necessary b~cause different events will take place at the same time. Rules and regulations can be obtained at the Student Government Office. The Olympiad wilL begin at 6: 30 at Kirby Pond : where all the teams, cheerleaders, strutters, and majorettes, will meet to march over to Ralston Field. Dean Arthur Hoover will lead the parade, carrying the American flag. An invocation will be given, and Mr. John Shehan, executive member of the Chamber of Commerce, will give an introductory speech. A ceremonial torch lighting and bird- releasing will also take place at the opening ceremonies. Volleyball will be played in the gym at 8:30, followed by the Senior's "Class Feud" at 10:00 in the CPA. Saturday afternoon will offer cross-country skiing, tlig-o-war, relay races, obstacle course, ice-skating, and traying, between 11 : 00 and 5: 00 at Kirby Park. "Get lei'd", come to a beach because students pass off work during the first weeks, knowing that they can drop the course, stated Dr. Faut. With this new move, the student finds out earlier whether or not he should be in the class, thus saving time and money. The new audit policy has passed the committee, and will be presented before the full faculty on March 6. If it passes, the policy will be in effect for the Fall semester 1980. The withdrawal policy will be voted on at the next Academic Standards Committee meeting, February 5. Patti Sparlow party Saturday night at 9: 00 in the gym. "East Coast Revue" will provide a variety of music and the party will be catered and mixers will be provided. Sunday is the finals for tug-o-war and volleyball. Also, in the _gym from 2:00 to 5:00 will be an All-Anthing- Goes competition, where you can win an all expense paid vacation to Atlantic City for one week.

He further explained that SG has kept with its policy of sponsoring one major social event each month. Also, CC and IDC have sponsored some activities. Blumfield gave instructions to the SG representatives to go out and ask their consituents what they think should be done to improve the party situation. Each SG member is expected to come to next week's meeting prepared to discuss their findings. In related news, SG advisor Dean Arthur Hoover announced that the last day a social event can be held is April 30. A fund request from the Art Club for $250 to pay for five art workshops was voted upon. The workshops will be on painting, ceramics, advertising, commercial art, and photography. The motion was passed unanimously. Mike Stapleton, IDC president presented a request to help IDC and CC subsidize a Concert and Lecture series event. The Concert and Lecture Series is putting in $250 and SG, CC, and IDC are each putting in one third of $250. The show will feature karate expert Hidy Ochiai, and the date will be set and announced. The motion that SG grant $83.34 for the show passed unanimously. The used bookstore on the second floor of the Student Center will close tomorrow at 4:00. Students can pick up their unsold books and cash at the SG office on the second floor of Weckesser Hall from February 1 through February 14.

The study, which is currently being conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is investigating feasible plans for future flood protection in each one of four areas in the Wyoming Valley; Kingston- Edwardsville, Plymouth, Swoyersville - Forty Fort, and Wilkes-Barre and Hanover Township. The current results of the study and a proposal for flood protection were discussed and the River Commons would lose walking and jogging opportunities on the dike. The river itself would be partially hidden from view. Kirby Park would lose about 2.5 acres of playing fields. The probability of flood waters exceeding the height of the dikes under this plan is 45 percent. Such a flood occurs every once 170 years. The " Agnes" Plan would provide protection against flood waters equal to the height reached by those resulting from the Tropical Storm "Agnes" in 1972.

Construction of the new dikes will probably not begin until 1985.

Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management, explained that as things stand right now he does not envision that happening in the near future. Last semester, it was reported that dorms not having emergency lighting systems would be getting them eventually. H9wever, a few of the 17 coeds residing at Dana were supposedly told by a member of the administration that their dorm would not be getting an emergency lighting system because it would cost too much money for a building that was going to be torn down anyway. The next day maintenance people began painting the interior of Dana including the unused third floor. A source said that the residents could not understand why the"" building was being painted if it was going to be torn down, and in addition they wanted to know why the third floor could not be used since it has plumbing, wiring and working fire alarms. Shaw noted that the third floor cannot be used because of requirements of the Department of Labor and Industry which include installation of sprinkler systems and other repairs. These repairs woUld "not be cost effective," explained Shaw, "They would cost the college an exorbitant amount of money." Shaw hinted that if the form was going to be torn down soon, the painting would not have been done because the college makes no major repairs to buildings scheduled for demolition. Eugene Manganello, Personnel and Systems Coordinator, and Shaw both expressed uncertainty about the third floor being painted and both doubted that any painting was actually done there. However, sources have said that the third floor was painted. Shaw noted that the exterior of the building was painted to make it pleasing to the community and it is possible that some paint may have accidentally been sprayed inside on the third floor and then touched up. Manganello suggested that the third floor may have been painted to test a new paint spreader the college recently bought before using it on the rest of the dorm. It was noted that Dana was one of the first buildings on which the paint spreader was used and Managanello commented, "it came out very well." As far as the fire alarms are concerned, Manganello explained that it is like the unused basements of nine out of ten buildings on campus. Even though these places cannot be used, the college is required to have fire alarms there. "Before we can occupy a building," stated Manganello, "we have to submit an architect's print to the Department of Labor and Industry to be approved." He further explained that anything missing from the print such as fire alarms and sprinkler systems, is added to the plans by the Labor and Industry Department and then stamped with a seal of approval. Then the building is inspected and if anything is missing when it is checked with the plans, the building You'll be amazed at all the opportunities and advantages the Army offers men and women with BSN degrees: • Excellent starting salaries and benefits , including a liberal vacation policy. • Real opportunity for advancement and professional growth-every Army Nurse is a commissioned officer. • No basic training for nurses ; just a basic orientation course to familiarize you with the Army Medical Department. • The chance to travel; time to do the things you enjoy. • Opportunity to qualify for specialized roles, teaching or additional education. Call collect to See if you qua Iify. cannot be used. If a building passes inspection, the college is given an occupancy permit which is then kept on file. Shaw added, "all of our buildings meet Labor and Industry requirements . . .or we could not use them." According to Manganello, emergency lights have been put in dorms even though the state does not require them. He stated that Business Manager Charles Abate takes inventory of all the buildings and that the ones that do not have emergency lighting systems will get them. Shaw pointed out that many buildings here have had a short life but the college "makes every effor to make them as livable and attractive as we can - we have got to keep these facilities as attractive as we can make them." Louis Czachor SITTING PRETTY - Dana Hall is one dorm most people feel will be the first to go if the college decides to build a new dorm. This summer, however, the building was painted on the exterior and the third floor which has been closed for the last two years was also painted. Could it be that Dana Hall is going to be saved? IDC Discusses Functions Of Emergency Alert Team IDC's Sunday night meeting opened with a short description of the functions of the Emergency Alert Team on campus and in the community. The presentation was given by Mark Chichik of the E.A.T., who stated that the team "handles emergency medical situations on campus when the nurses are not available," including week nights and weekends. The E.A.T. provides transportation and medical care in medical emergencies. In addition to responding to campus emergencies, the team also is available to the community in times of need. Members of the E.A.T. may be called upon to assist the Civil Air Patrol and the Red Cross Disaster Patrol. They also help at the blood drives sponsored at Wilkes. Chichik also mentioned a few of the problems which the team has encountered. One of these was funding. Last semester, the team requested funds from Student Government to purchase •new equipment such as splints and bandages. However, the Administra- tion decided to provide the E.A.T. with the necessary funds, since the team provides emergency care when the nurse is not on duty. Another problem that Chichik mentioned was the fact that many people on campus do not know about the E.A.T. To make students more aware of the team, flyers are being sent to all the dorms informing dorm students of the services the E .A. T. provides, and ways to contact any member of the team in case of emergency. At the IDC meeting, the Food Committee report was also given. Bruce Williams, Food Committee chairman, reminded IDC reps to use the suggestion box in the cafeteria for complaints or compliments about the food . Williams also reported on the response to the suggestions given by IDC members . .The food service will now serve bagels once a month, since many students enjoyed them last semester. The suggestion to have fruit juices at every meal was also considered, and the food service is looking into this possibility. It was mentioned that Valentine's Phyllls' Beauty Salon lowntown Wilkes-Ban, llbua: DAllY lOAI · 5:30PII ~- I_TNUIS. lOAI · 9'1 357 East South St. Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Other ideas for different food include: milkshakes on special days, strawberry shortcake and chocolate eclair ice cream bars. Under new business, IDC President Mike Stapleton offered suggestions for an IDC-sponsored party that would be held sometime this semester. Stapleton noted that, with the olds Commons building gone, a great deal of space behind Kirby Hall can now be utilized for an outdoor party in the spring. Other considerations for this area are an IDC-sponsored clam bake or block party. Stapleton also suggested that IDC sponsor a party in the Student Center, since so few parties have been held there this year. This led to an involved discussion concerning tbe reasons that few clubs or organizations have been willing to sponsor parties in the center. Some IDC reps felt that the $30 limit on profits from the parties provided little incentive to sponsor parties. Others suggested that the structure of the building itself might be another reason that groups are reluctant to hold a party in the center. Also under new business, the IDC representatives voted to bring karate expert Hidy Ochiai to Wilkes to put on a show. IDC voted to help pay for the show, which would hopefully be subsidized by CC and SG also. Stapleton stated that the Concert and Lecture Series will provide for one half the cost of the show.

The third weekend of the semester is quickly approaching and we still haven't had a party in the new Student Center. Does anyone know why? Dave Blumfield, Student Government president, asked SG members to find out why parties are not appealing and to come up with some solutions. We feel this is a move in the right direction considering the time and money put into that building to meet the students' needs. Some of the problems concern the hassle and amount of responsibility required to sponsor a party. Others feel that since profits are limited to $30 for each party held: clubs, dorms and organizations are finding other ways to raise money. There are probably numerous other problems that deal with party atmosphere and contribute to the lack of response. At the beginning of the year tickets for Student Center parties were a prize possession. Every organization eeuldn't wait to sponsor a party there. Now the enthusiasm nasdied. Let's hope SG finds the right solutions to this grave problem before the entire stUEient body leaves campus to enjoy themselves on the weekends. To the Editor: Dear Mr. Clanton, Concerning last ·week's letter in the Beacon: "RIGHT ON". However you made one mistake ... You are not "a BLACK" ... you are a person. Thank You, John Salwitz '80 Careers Seminar The Communj.cation Careers Seminar series continues next Tuesday, February 5 with Hugh Finn, WBRE reporterweatherman, as the guest speaker.

All members of the Wilkes community are welcome. Concerned Student Commends Gries For Making Jr. 'Surprise' A Success Dear Fellow Students, This letter is written to commend the Junior Class President, Colleen Gries. Even though Colleen was recently written up in the Beacon for her achievements at Wilkes, I felt that her efforts this past Friday should be recognized by everyone. The Junior Class Surprise would have been abandoned if it were not for the sincere devotion Colleen possesses. Colleen's enthusiasm in Junior Class activities should gain her the respect of all. Perhaps, if there were alot more students with Colleen's spirit, the campus would be more active. I constantly hear people complain and gripe about how dull Wilkes college life is. However, none of the students I've heard complaining are ever willing to get involved in campus activities. They'd rather sit back and remain apathetic, while the same old familiar faces who are continually involved in activities, remain involved in an endeavor to please the apathy of others. Colleen Gries is an inspiration to our campus and must be congratulated for her dedication. On Friday afternoon, the Junior Class officers and the executive council discover_ed that they were lacking a film, namely "The Rocky Picture Horror Show," which was scheduled to be shown that evening. Colleen immediately began contacting people and at 3: 30 found out that if she wanted the movie to be shown, she would have to go to New York to get it. Well, Colleen did just that. She dropped everything and raced to New York so that the Junior Class Surprise would not turn out to be "NO SURPRISE." She was able to get back by 10:30 despite the snow, and we were able to show the film as scheduled. If Colleen -hadn't gone for the film, alot more of that complaining about campus life would have con- tinued and the Junior Class officers would have been the target for much of the complaints. Again, those who would complain would never have taken the steps necessary for making the Junior Class Surprise a success. I would like to thank Colleen and all other who were involved in making the Junior Class Surprise a success. I hope that others will take the time to thank them. also, and get iQvolved ! Sincerely, AConcerned Student NOTICE On Thursday, February 7, the Cooperative Education Staff will be in Student Center to discuss Summer & Fall job placements with interested students, from 11 : 00 to Don't Forget Ground Hog Day Root OfAllEvil Let me introduce to you the most powerful man on earth. He has been here •since the dawn of civilization (if there ever was such a thing ) and he is still omnipresent in our society today. Rich men, as well as paupers, are all captives of this man. He transcends all color barriers and is equally sought after by every race, color, and creed of man. He can make fools of wise men ; he can make strong men weak ; he can cure the sick; and he can corrupt the morals of the most ethical person. He has no voice yet he speaks to each of us every day. He has no body yet he exists in millions of different forms. His mere presence commands respect and power, yet in his wake he plants the seeds of envy, greed, and hatred. This man has relatives of all different denominations. This man knows no master and makes slaves of us all. People, let me introduce you to "The Man" who manipulates, guides, and controls every waking moment of most of our lives. His last name is Bill, his first name is Dollar, and he often takes on surnames like Five, Te.1, Twenty, or Fifty. Many students have chosen to attend this college because of the excellent education which can be obtained here. These students look upon education as the backbone for the adventure of experiences in future life. However, there are some students whose sole motive for coming to this college is their desire to make money. A vast number of people in our society equate happiness with the accomulation of material wealth. These people worship money and those who have it, holding all wealthy individuals above reproach or responsibility. These profit seekers are more concerned with a person's salary than what that person does for a living. These pecuniary people believe that it is the lack of money which is the root of all evil. Unfortunately. some students on this campus have been guided by this same profit motive. To better understand these previous statements; ask yourself why you have chosen to obtain an education at this college? Have you chosen your future career on the basis of its pay scale regardless of whether or not you feel that you will enjoy, be good at, or contribute to what you are doing? Do you measure success by the amount of money a person ha accumulated? Are you unhappy with your career choice hoping only that a salary will ease the tension and frustration? Is your career choice a personal decision, or has it been manipulated by the whims of peers? A student must attempt to seek personal answers to questions such as these so that he can better understand himself and his environment. Be honest with yourself and get in touch with your own genuine feelings.and emotions. Happiness should be the motivating force behind everything a person does. Do not let your pursuit of the unattainable "American Dream" lead you into a Fools' Paradise. David A. Clanton ---tbe-:>beaoon-.....-... USPS 11:12--01111 Editor-In-Chief Jim Edwards I :00.

January 31, 1980, The Beacon, Page 5 Outdoor Club Pursues Adventure While most of us were enjoying a turkey dinner prepared to perfection on Thanksgiving Day, members of the Outdoor - Adventure Club were having another delicacy - Chef- Boyardee- SkilletPizza. It wasn't so much the meal There are 26 active members in the club and they take part in such activities as backpacking, crosscountry skiing, ice-climbing (at Rickett's Glen), white-water rafting and canoeing, and rockclimbing. "As far as climbing goes, TOTALLY IN AWE - The serene beauty found by the. members or the club in the Adirondacks more than compensates for some or the rougher trails ahead. (Photo by Paul Torre) that was being enjoyed but the setting - the Adirondack Mountains in New York. The Outdoor Adventure Club has been in existence for over a year now. It was originally started by Paul Torre, this year's vicepresident; Loren Copeland is the president. Paul originated the club to bring people with the same interests together and "because it wasn't there and the school needed adventure." we practice locally and do the rest of our climbing in New York state," Paul explained. The club boast at being a "no experience needed" organization: you provide the active interest and enthusiasm in their activities and they will teach you the essentials for the outdoor sport that you. are interested in. "You have to spend the money on the necessary equipment but it is not a one-shot deal," Jim Makowski, active club Outer Limits by Flash Gordon member, stated, "you'll always have the eqiupment for your future endeavors." Many people will probably sit and wonder "why" people would want to take part in such activities that are potentially dangerous rather , than play it safe on a basketball team or such. Both Paul and Jim echo the same sentiments, "We acquire self-reliance in the outdoors and find a fellowship among the people we travel with. We try to instill the self-reliance in the new members. You're going out there for your own sake, not to show other people what you can do, but to show yourself." Comparing it to a basketball game, Jim explained further, "At a game, one team will win. Out there nature always wins ; it's clean and quiet, not like the city!'' Members of the club find nature the ultimate challenge; it's noncompetitive. The stakes seem high but you will be in competition with yourself. Those who went to the Adirond_ack Mountains over Thanksgiving break include: Paul Torre, Loren Copeland, Nick Golowich, Carl Germick, and Jim Makowski. While in the Adirondacks they hiked up Mt. Marcy, the highest peal:t in New York, with 50 mile an hour winds ONE OF THE BRAVER SOULS and a 20 ft. visibility range. - Jim Snell prepares to push off Because of weather conditions the again in his descent from the top of adventurers took the trail lip the a mountain.

(Photo by Paul Torre) the way Paul and Jim talk that they missed the traditional turkey dinner. "The skillet pizza was so good because we were so damn hungry." Being away in the Adirondacks gave the hikers a feeling of serenity as they fell asleep to the sound of the wind rolling down the mountains. Jim said, " It was like being away for weeks. It eraced everything; it was like coming back to a new semester." Other adventures that the club is planning are running the Lehigh River once again, having a crosscountry ski clinic (when it snows), and hiking in the Presidentials Mountain Range in New Hampshire and possioly Mr. Ranier, Washington. What would the average person get out of joining the club? "Whatever she or he put into it. If you try there is no denying you. The only thing holding you back is you're non-involvement." Paul emphatically stated with a definite voice of experience, "Knowledge comes easy. These activities are not for people who just want to try it once." The club welcomes anyone to to come to their meetings to see if the activities suit them. "We are looking for a new fresh blood to keep the club going strong," Paul commented. Meetings are held Thursdays at 11:00 in Stark Rm. 127. Today is the elections of new officers - and may the best man win! Robert Service expresses exactly how the club members feel about their adventures: I have clinched and closed with the naked North, I have learned to defy and defend; Shoulder to shoulder we have fought it out yet the wild must' win in the end. Margaret Scholl �Page 6, The Beacon, January 31, 1980 _ Dr. MahmoUd Fahmy Expresses His Pride Concerning Teaching And Global Education When the MSA Evaluation team recently came to Wilkes for their periodic report, they commented that the strength of Wilkes educational program began with its faculty. They did not mention any faculty members in particular, but, if they had made alist of the most outstanding members, the name of Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy would surely have been listed. The credentials of Dr. Fahmy, Associate Professor in t he.Department of Education, are exceptional in every respect. His past educational and professional background, as well as the long list of his current involvement in the community, all point to his strong commitment and deaication to education, and for J he better ment of society in general. Although now -residing in Dallas, P a., Dr. Fahmy was born in Alexandria, Egypt, where he attended both high school and college. In 1953, he received a Bachlor of Arts degree, with honors, from the University of Alexandria where he was also very active in student run political activities. His involvement lead to his being elected president of the Arabic Student Organization which served to unify and promote the opinions and voice of all Arabic students. Recognizing his ability and potential, the Egyptian government granted him a scholarship to continue his education in the· United States. By 1960, not only had he received his Master's Degree from Columbia University but, he also met and married his wife Irandukht who is also a teacher. The Fahmys now have three children : Roya who is presently a sophomore Hahnemann student, Raef and Randa both high school students in Dallas. After receiving his M.A ., he spent three years as a teaching assistant at Syracuse University. Then, he moved on to Bucknell University where he served as an Assistant Professor until 1968. When he left Bucknell, he then came ta Wilkes and has been here ever since. In 1973, he earned his Ph.D. from Syracuse and was promoted to an .Associate Professor at Wilkes. Since arriving here, Dr. Fahmy has also managed to teach part-time at Bloomsburg State College ('73) and the University of Pittsburg ( '76 ). " I am a teacher, and I am proud to be a teacher," he states. "I love my profession, and I respect the students individuality and personality. What excited me about teaching is it has a lot of potential. " Dr. Fahmy continues, " We're not dealing with objects but, with human beings who are full of promise for the future. It's very exciting to deal with the different personalities, and to be able to open new horizons." Concerning his role as a teacher here, Dr. Fahmy confides, "As a teacher, I have an open door policy. I want students to come to my office and talk whenever they want. I would do anything asked of me by a st udent or another teacher, day or night. " For twelve years, Wilkes College has been a big part of Dr. Fahmy's life. He confidently states that Wilkes is a very good college. As he puts it, "Wilkes is truely the Ive League school of northeast Pennsylvania." His view is this, "I look at Wilkes not as an institution but, as a community with it's people working together for a common goal. The administration, faculty, student body and staff working together to achieve high horizons." He also states, " I wouldn't send my children here if I didn't think it was a good college." Dr. Fahmy sees Wilkes College as being more than just an isolated place to teach students. " This college is an integral part of the community. We should be prepared to take leadership to promote the welfare of the Wyoming Valley. The students that graduate fram Wilkes are our ambassadors in the community. We have to be careful in what we say and do concerning local affairs. " Dr. Fahmy is the kind of teacher who believes the best way to teach is by example. " I'm teaching my students to be better than I am, to go beyond what I do," he states and adds. "Being involved is part of my responsibility to my community and to my country." After looking at the many civic and professional arganizations he works with, one would wonder where he finds the time to handle everything. Last Nevember, Dr. Fahmy was elected Director of the Back Mountain School Board. He also holds seats on the Board of Child Development Council, the Curriculum Council of the Intermediate Unit 18 in Kingston, the Citizens Advisory Council, the National Council for the Social Studies, the Pennsylvania Council for International Education, the American Association for Higher Education, and still others. The position Dr. Fahmy holds dearest is being coordinator for the Luzerne-Wyoming Counties Social Studies Council, which represents all public, non-public, parochial schools, as well as, colleges and ether professional organizatiens. It's function is to promote the (iUality of teaching social studies in the schools of this area. It's goal is to develop a forum . where teachers and professionals can meet and discuss issues. One such issue that has raised deep concern is American's lack of understanding of world affiars and international cultures. Dr. Fahmy comments, "We are the biggest, most powerful democracy on earth. We can not escape the responsibility to understand other cultures, and to provide leadership." Although it was recently mandated for the schools to help students as early as possible to get in touch with, understand and appreciate other cultures, Dr. Fahmy isn't at all pleased with the progress made. As he put it, ''.So far, we've done terribly." In a report by Ernest Boyer, U.S. Commissioner of Education, it is reported that less than one percent of the college-age group in the United States is enrolled in any couse which specifically teaches about international issues. It is also reported that only 2 percent of American students are taking a foreign language. Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy "Everything about this world is intertwined; food, economics, population and energy," Dr. Fahmy points -out. He elaborates, "Students have to understand that we are living in a global village. Either we live together or we perish." Dr. Fahmy is involved at the state and national level to promote this new imperative of Global Education. He mentions that, "The emphasis isn't on separate international knowledge but, on our intertwined destiny. In order for our children to understand this, it should be expressed in the educational system." Another issue that has special importance in this area, and one that Dr. Fahmy is involved with is the promotion of Ethnicity. Being selected coordinator of the Pennsylvania Ethnic Studies Center, Dr. Fahmy points out that the Wyoming Valley is a perfect example of many ethnic groups living side by side. According to Dr. Fahmy, " Being ethnic doesn't mean being chauvinistic as in putting other groups down. Yes, it means being proud of your own background and being American but, it also means understanding and appreciating other cultures." He points out, "Doing this makes you more American because, we are a nation of nations." Commenting about the state of education today, Dr. Fahmy says, "I'm proud to be a professional , but, education is treated as second class." He goes on, " It bothers me that we do not take teaching seriously. Teachers should think of themselves as professionals. " Concerning the future directions of education, Dr. Fahmy admits, "I'm aware that the market for teachers is tight. l would like to see Wilkes and other colleges preparing students for alternative possibilities in the social sciences." He continues, "Areas such as working with children outside the school, or working with the aged, in mental health or social work, and other opportunities should be open to students of education. We should ' give them this . >pportunity ." In closing, Dr. Fahmy sincerely says, "This is my life; to facilitate communication between people, to bring them together. All my activities in the community go towards promoting Wilkes. We have a good faculty, the students are good and the facilities are good. People should know this.'

She continued to say that the glamour is the surface side, or what the viewer sees. " It's being recognized almost everywhere you go," she stated. She believes that this alone could not carry anyone for very long. "Although it's fun, there's got to be something underneath," said the anchorwoman. The other side is the grit, a combination of soul, fortitude and caring. "Caring is especially hard.

Ms. Dunleavy finds her job constantly challenging, exciting, and sometimes exasperating, but "I am very happy at my work and I love reaching out and touching the minds of the people through my broadcasts," she said.

The Hotel Sterling with approximately 110 student residents is one of the largest resident areas in Wilkes. One question constantly being asked is, what are the living conditions like in the hotel? According to the hotel manager, Murray Popky, the hotel has "adequate rooms and living conditions." He believes that the rooms are of a reasonable size with an extra added feature that the dorms do not have ; namely a private bathroom facility for each room. In his opinion the rooms are equal to, if not better, than the dorm rooms on campus. Kevin O'Brien, one of the hotel resident assistants, agrees that the rooms are adequate. "The rooms in the hotel are about the same size as the ones in New Men's," he stated. He also added that the private bathrooms are a welcome conve. nience to most of the residents. However, the hotel is not a new building. Popky agreed that, "The hotel is an old building and this causes some problems." He added that the hotel tries to solve these problems as soon as they are discovered. " There's only so much which can be done due to the cost of maintenance on an older building such as this one. We try our best and I believe we solve the problems which are brought to our attentions." He stated that the hotel has a limited work force which further limits the amount which can be done in a given period of time. Some of the problems which have arisen in the hotel include bug~, leaky pipes, rhodents and dripping ceilings. Director of Housing Paul Adams states that there are problems at the hotel, stating, "Any major problems result in room changes whenever possible."

Visitation Day Student Panel discussions, seminars and tours are included in the activities that students accepted at Wilkes College will attend during Visitation Day, scheduled for Sunday, April 13. Visitation Day, sponsored by the Admissions Office, had a large response Last year. Although it was a new idea, some 900 students, parents, faculty and Wilkes vounteers turned out to help future underclassmen get used to life at Wilkes. The basic idea behind Visitation Day is group involvement. Seminars and discussions introduce student service personnel, detail procedures in registration, provide information on curriculum and financial aid and even prepare parents for changes to expect in their sons and daughters when they begin college in the fall. One of the strong points in the program is the amount of support by Wilkes students. Approximately 90 students assisted visitors in touring the college facilties, provided directions and informed students of campus organizations at the student booth display . The booth displays, featuring 50 clubs and organizations, were " an extremely successful" portion of Visitation Day, according to Mrs. Debbie Stratton, Assistant Dean of Admissions. Stratton emphasizes that Wilkes student involvement is an integral part of Visitation Day and anticipates continued support this year. The program boasts success in that 74 percent of those involved in last year's events registered for the Fall semester. Although no specific schedule has been adopted for the 1980 Visitation Day the Steering Committee is presently improving on last year's attempt and plans a busy day for the 541 presently accepted students. Members of the 1980 Visitation Day Steering Committee include: Art Hoover, Brad Kinney, Eugene Manganello, George Pawlush, Jon Pliskin, Gay Meyers, Nancy Onuschak and Elaine Slabinski. Ana Nunez meeting. The Beacon will be carrying a special Valentine's centerfold which will be made up of personal Valentine messages.

DDlY .I..J D Since the last Beacon, the Wilkes College women's basketball team had a 2-1 week to update their overall record to 10-5. Last night the ladies traveled tq Selinsgrove to meet Susquehanna and this Saturday the Colonelettes will be in Allentown to meet Muhlenberg College. On Feb. 4, they again travel to Bloomsburg to meet the Bloom State Huskies before hosting the Royalettes of Mike Strong and Scranton University on Feb. 6 at 6: 15 prior to the men's contest between the two schools. On Feb. 9 the ladies will travel to Nanticoke to meet L.C.C.C. A week this past Sunday, the ladies hosted Upsala" College from East Orange, N.J. and downed the Yikes 74-68 in the MAC contest. Diane Kendig, who continues to lead the nation in scoring, led all scorers with 33 tallies followed by freshman Joanne Gismondi with 12 and senior Lynn Yedlock who netted 15. This past Saturday the ladies traveled to Doylestown and met the Aggies of Delaware Valley College. Former Meyers standout Mary Jo Frail scored 16 points to lead Wilkes to the 71-64 victory. Wilkes, behind most of the game took the lead with five minutes left to play and never looked back. Diane Kendig chipped in 16 for coach Nancy Roberts' team and Yedlock added 11 tallies. In between the road trips to Doylestown and East Orange, the ladies hosted rival King's College and fell in a heartbreaker 67-65. Earlier in the season, Wilkes fell at the "big gym on North Main Street" 8476 to the Lady Monarchs. In the King's game, Kendig again led the way with 29 points followed by Mary Jo Frail with 12 and Lynn Yedlock and Stacey Keely with ten each. Keely has really been playing well of late and could be a great one before her career ends at Wilkes. Kendig added five steals in the game while Frail recorded four take-aways. Yedlock controlled the boards with 11 rebounds followed by Keely with eight and Kendig with seven. Frail and Gismondi each garnered six assists in the game. The King's-Wilkes game was like the one the men would play the next night - a barn burner. The first half saw the Lady Monarchs lead 31-30 at intermission. The lad switched hands during the second period before King's took the lead in the last few seconds and Wilkes missed a lay-up as the buzzer sounded for the loss. King' s was led by the sister combo of Terri and Mary Beth Bowler, who combined 46 points. Terri tallied 30 in the game while Mary Beth contributed 16. Mary Kay Boos netted 14 for King's. In the recently released Middie Atlantic Conference stats, Kendig leads the country in scoring with a 26.0 average and is fifth in the nation in freethrow percentage with a .810. Mary Jean Farrell is tied for tenth in that category with a .730 percentage.

Bob Waskiewicz Gary Mack Ice Hockey Win; Skate By King's The Wilkes College ice hockey team started off the new decade with a bang Saturday as they trounced rival King's 7-I. Eric Farber scored his first of two goals with 6:28 remaining in the first period. Denny Jacobs made a grand return to the team, also scoring two goals. Mark Ungvarski collected two assists. The return of Jacobs and the play of Farber, who sharpened his skills in the hockeyrich Boston area over Christmas Recess.seemed to spark the team. Second-period goals by Jack Manley and Dave Samsel gave Wilkes a 4-0 lead after two periods. Farber scored his second goal only 20 seconds into the third period, but King's Bill Fruworth was credited with a goal just 17 seconds later to make it 5-1. Goalie Jim "Bangor" Kovacs' bid for his first NEPHL shutout was spoiled when the puck bounced off a Wilkes defenseman's stick and over Kovacs' shoulder, hitting the crossbar and barely falling over the gold line. Jacobs and Ed Ohmott scored 89 seconds apart later in the third period to up the final score to ~.. . The players expressed their appreciation to those fans who attended and ask for their continuing vocal support. Wilkes has ten games remaining in the NEPHL before spring vacation. BASEBALL BASEBALL MEETING Coach Dave Kaschak has announced that a baseball meeting will be held Thursday, Feb. 7, at 11:30 at Weckesser Annex. All baseball prospects are asked to attend and raffle tickets will be,due. BASEBALL WHITE LINES . by Eddie White Ill Well, their at it again! If you read or listen to the local media following last week's victory over King's College by the w; lkes basketball team, you thought we lucked out. Some of the radio people came on the air and instead of sending best wishes to Wilkes for a job well done, they spoke of how the King's basketball program was going downhill since.it went from Division II to III two years ago. And that two losses to Wilkes this year proved that. What a ounch of idiots! Most of these media members are King's grads and have Monarch basketball permanently planted in their brain. When they spoke of the glory days of Division II, they did not note, however, that King's never, ever, came close to winning any national titles. In all those years of Division II, King's went to the NCAA playoffs only once and was beaten in the first game by Bloomsburg State. That's it, no other playoff positions. Scranton won i, national title in basketball in Division III in 1976 and earlier in the decade, the Wilkes wrestling team won a national championship in Division tll. But not King's. They never came close. These same media "sports experts" were the same ones who went bananas last year when King's got in the Division HI Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs. But, now with a losing season looking them in the face and a chance that the Monarchs will go winless against area rivals - Scranton and Wilkes - they look for avenues of escape. King's right now is in trouble. They lost all+star Ken Casey before the season started. He transferred to Bloomsburg State. Then a few weeks into the season, junior guard Steve Locnikar left the team. And most recently, junior forward Jim Shea quit the club. No one really knows what is going on up there at the "big gym on North Main Street," but something is wrong. One radio media member this past week called Division III "just a step above high school." What does he think WilkesBarre is, a big city like Los Angeles, where it can support Division I schools and sports. Another media member was quoted as saying "Division III is nothing, Division I is where it's at." And these are the same guys who cry when they don't get the Wilkes "Division III" scores on time for their broadcasts. If the latter feels Division I is so great why doesn't he cover a Wilkes wrestling match live. It's a good idea. but they're too busy giving hours and hours of coverage to a bunch of nine-year old gymnastic creeps. We must commend the Wilkes College student body for its support in last week's game with King' s. It was a great crowd and the fans were in good taste. Their support will be needed on Feb. 5 and 6 when the wrestlers meet Penn State on the fifth for a top-twenty ranking and the basketball team meets Scranton U. for what could decide the first place in the MAC. You know PSU will have a big crowd on hand so we need all you folks there. And "Duh U" is going to bring down its bunch of loonies called the "Royals Club," so we need your support. And the teams thank you for it. Coach Ron Righter of the Wilkes cagers said if the Colonels could have crowds every game like the King's contest, His team would not lose a home game. And you Jmow, he's right. . We send out best wishes to coach Nancy Roberts and her women's basketball team who are enjoying a fine season. Diane Kendig is leading the country in scoring and the girls are having a super year. Roberts and Righter are two top candidates for the Beacon's "Coach of the Year" award. Baseball season is just around the corner, believe it or not, and the Wilkes College baseball team, one of the finest Division III programs in the country, should enjoy another playoff-filled season under second year coach Dave Kaschak. Last year was a rebuilding year for Wilkes in Kaschak's initial collegiate coaching season while losing a host of All-Americans from the previous year. But with a great crop of lettermen returning and a host of talented freshmen , 1980 should be another year Wilkes goes to the NCAA Regionals and hopefully the NCAA World Series. Bishop Hoban took the local AAA high school first half title last week. Their assistant coach is Jim Maloney, a Wilkes masters grad. Chet Hine's team is led by Mickey Banas, the brother of Wilkes basketballer George "The Marine" Ba nas. AA winners were John Hopkins' G.A .R. tea m led by the best player in the league Barry Francisco. Many feel Hopkins is the finest area high school mentor. ,. �Page 10, The Beacon, January 31, 1980 Scranton Here Wed.ForCrucialMACTilt Last week's Beacon story on the Wilkes men's basketball team spoke of a three-game losing streak. This week, we talk about a two-MAC-game winning streak which has given the Blue and Gold bonafide playoff hopes. The Colonels, going into last night's league game with Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pa., were 5-4 in the MAC behind Scranton which is 6-1 in the MAC North-East. . Wilkes will host Lycoming College this Saturday at the "little house on the praire (Wilkes Gym) " at 8 and it should be a good game for Ron Righter's crew as they are out for blood against the Warriors who beat Wilkes in double-overtime earlier this year in Williamsport. Next Wednesday the Wilkes Gym will be the setting for "the big one" when the Colonels meet' Scranton University's Royals a.k.a. "Big Bob's bead-men" or "the highflying rock and rollers.'' This game could decide who will finish in the top spot in the MAC North-East. Oniy two teams from the NorthEast section will make the MAC playoffs. Scranton is currently first followed by Wilkes and King's. Whoever wins that section hosts the MAC playoffs. Albright and E-town will probably be the other two teams involved in that tourney. Since the last Beacon, the Colonels lost one MAC game but came back to win two league games over King's and Delaware Valley. Wilkes took an overall mark of 9-6 into Monday's home game with Division II power Philly Textile and 26 points on 13 of 16 shooting from yesterday's match-up with Sus- the field .

"The Del Val game was a big win for us," said Righter. •~First, it was a MAC game and with King's losing to Scranton earlier in the day it put us in great shape for the second playoff spot in the MAC. Secondly, it came in front of my hometown fans which really meant a lot to me and I thank the team for that. And thirdly, Del Val played an inspired game and we still beat them . We t "owed a lot out there and we'll be ready when Scranton comes to town. I would like to publicly thank all the fans who came to the King's game. They don't realize how much that means to the guys.'' Last week Wilkes received news that it was among 30 Division Ill teams considered by the NCAA for the top 15 rankings. Quite an accomplishment for a team which was 9-15 a year ago.

R1ght about this time ( midseason ) some wrestlers begin to lose interest and it' s the job ' of his t~ammates and Coach John Reese to lift his spirits again. Some wrestling teams just coast through the second season to say the least. This year's match-up is even, although National Mat News and Amateur Wrestling News favor the Nittany Lions. The State College team is currently ranked 11th by AWN and 17th by NMN. If our Colonels pull it off, it will definitely mean a N aitonal ranking. Penn State is literally " stacked" in the first seven weight classes and the Reesemen will vs. Dan Miner, if healthy, junior, Chambersburg. In last week' s action Wilkes wrestled only one match due to Elizabethtown backing out of the dual. "This summer the Elizabethtown coach asked to be dropped form our schedule due to the inferiority of his Division III team to our Division I team and I thought it was understandable," noted Coach Reese. "But evidently he thought he could be erased from our schedule for the 1980 meet, and he didn't realize the scheduling meeting was for 1981," added Reese. The week layoff didn't bother the wrestlers as they trounced Lycoming last Saturday, 41-12. Johnson started things on the right foot when he posted a 12-0 superior decision at 118. Johnson took a 2-0 lead after the first, 4-0 after two and scored eight points in the third for the five team points. Outstanding freshman Mark Popple kept things going with a 7: 12 fall over highly touted John O'Shea at 126. Billig then followed with a fall in 3: 03. Nelson scored a take,town with : 17 seconds remaining to edge his opponent, 6-5. After Troutman got caught in a pin, Densberger retaliated with another Blue and Gold fall at the 6:47 mark. Miner was forced to default due to a leg injury atl67. Bart Cook and Rick Smith combined for two pins in a total time of 3:30 at 177 and 190. Smith highlighted the evening when he decked his foe in only : 14 seconds. Matzelle iced the cake with a 15-11 decision to cap off the evening.

Series On Space Utilization Study Begins; Part One o ·i scusses Report's Findings Because of a long-range redevelopment program initiated by the school, a Space Utilization. S t udy an~ Planning Aid was completed this past November by Pyros and Sanderson, architects/planners, to help the college " .. . reduce the operating budget while maintaining flexibility to meet future needs." The 97 page utilization study is broken down into five sections labeled intent and purpose, planner's overview, findings, responses - recommendations and appendix utilization studies. Working with the recommendations made in the "Physical Facilities Committee Report" by the Wilkes goals committee, the study adopted three primacy and three secondary objectives. The primary objectives of the study are to: develop a plan .for maximum space utilization, meet projected dorm needs, and devise a plan for acquisition/disposition. The secondary objectives are listed as the creation of a green links plan, the provision for additional parking, and the preparation of an historic preservation plan. An important point which is discussed in the planner's overview of the study is that because space is .becoming expensive, deteriorated or unavailable, computerized scheduling will become necessary on campus " . . . if space is eliminated and utilization of remaining space ls.increase<!, or, if a utilization · goal is adopted for economy of use. With current utilization for classrooms at about 41 per cent and laboratories at 34 per cent, much space can be recovered by adopting a modest goal of 60 per cent." Such a goal would require many changes in the present scheduling process. Under the topic of findings, eight categories including community relationships, campus coherence, physical plant, ·parking, building efficiency, room use, dormitories and historic preservation are discussed with the aid of various maps and charts. A map o f the campus with the surrounding community clearly shows that the college is " .. . interlocked with its to be adequate, but in poor locations with vital pedestrian links missing. The section went on to state that beca~se of property lines which persist between college-owned lands, a strong plan for campus coherence is inhibited. The physical plant of the planning aid determined that due to the large proportion of laboratories, academic uses are generally overallocated in comparison with simliar colleges. The study states, "Laboratory space assignments at Wilkes are nearly twice as high per student than the average among all private colleges in Pennsylvania." Office space assignments were found to be about equal with the other schools, but lounge and storage space were determined to be in excess. fices which are located in former houses. In examining the topic of room use, the planning aid noted that in many technical courses, obsolete equipment may be taking up useful space, with the poorest utilized rooms being the large lecture halls and large class labs. The aid goes on that "classrooms are utilized about 50 per cent, and laboratories 34 per cent of available time. Available seats are occupied about 29 per cent of the time. Reasonable utilization goals could set these at 75 per cent, 60 per cent and 75 per cent respectively." One final point this section makes is that with over 300 square feet allocated per administrator, ''statistically, there are more offices than employees.'

Because "students show a strong preference for 'old' and 'historic' buildings," wfth the aid of various forms of grants and benefits available for historic building preservation, it is hoped many of the aging structures can be saved.

SG president Dave Blumfield noted that after last week's meeting it seemed as though the cause of the lack of Student Center parties has been the fact that any club or organization can make a maximum profit of $30. He further noted that last Thursday the Student Center board decided to raise the maximum profit level to $50. As the discussion progressed, nearly every SG representative and officer present voiced his opinion in one of the most exciting and interesting idea exchanging sessions in a very long time. Diane Seech statea that a lot of people were not interested in putting a lot of effort into a party when the most they could make was $30. IDC president Mike Stapleton add· ed that most of the parties are sponsored by dormitories, and more clubs and organizations should look into sponsoring parties. Marla Brodsky, SG vicepresident, commented that last year a lot of people would say that SUB parties stink, but now they want the old SUB back. Bob Doty explained that people do not like the size or shape of the Student Center. He commented that the basement is really ·nice, but parties held there need themes. Shep Wilner said that the mood of parties could be improved by using different themes, different kinds of music, and a different atmosphere. SG secretary, Theresa Gabana add· ed that she has heard ~omplaints that only freshmen are going to SG parties while the upperclassmen are going to their own parties. Stapleton stated that a party held in the Student Center, ''is not going to be a SUB party. People have to realize its not going to be that way anymore." He continued by saying that the sooner people accept the Student Center for what it is, the better it is going to be. In other business, SG granted $140 to the Bowling Club by a vote of 22-2-0. The Bowling Club will use the money to send its 6 highest average members to a tournament in Lancaster. The club is hoping that the tournament will be the beginning of the college's participa; tion in intercollegiate bowling. The bowling club has 64 members. It was announced that the used bookstore which had been operated by SG is now closed. Students are asked to stop by the SG office to pick up their unsold books and their cash. It was noted that the bookstore brought in less money than last semester, but it did better than the second semester of last year. Blumfield made a suggestion that the possibility of collecting books at the end of the semester be considered. In this way the used bookstore could be set up by the beginning of the following semester. Stapleton announced that IDC is planning to sponsor a pajama party in the SCB sometime in March. Joe Galli stated that a list of people still owing money on the Forida trip is being prepared and it will be posted in the SG office. Blumfield closed the meeting by reminding everyone that faculty committee reports will be given at the SG meeting on Monday, February 25. Louis Czachor Roller Skating Party Deemed Successful Bill Lewis, President of Commuter Council announced Monday that the Admisison's Phonathon and the Roller Skating Party at L & S Skate-A-Rama were both very successful. "Over 300 potential students were contacted by the phonathon and in all it was very successful. Everyone's help was deeply appreicated.'' Lewis also commented about the Skating Party by saying, "It had a great turn out and the people at L&S Skate-A-Rama want to see us again." between 125-150 students attended the event and future plans for another skating party at L&S are being considered. It was also announced · during CC's meeting that plans for a Karate demonstration are underway. Last week Commuter Council passed a motion to donate a third of the $250 needed for the demonstration. SG and IDC each are to conntribute a third of the money, with the Concert and Lecture Series to pick up the remaining $250. John Moffatt, representative of the Student Center Board, reported that the profit limit on SC parties has increased from $30 to $50. He also reported that the Star Trek machine is broken and that all the coin operated machines in the basement of the Student Center have been taken out. There will also be a Student Center Board Party in the Student Center some time in March. Up dates were also given at the meeting on the Valentines Party and the St. Patricks Party. Tickets for the Valentines Party go on sale this coming Monday and can be obtained at the Student Center and/or cafe. An estimated 500 tickets will be sold for this event scheduled for next Friday. The band "Chance" will perform and Poly-Care will cater the party. Joe Rubbico, cochairperson of the St. Patricks Party announced that there will be no dent Mike Stapleton's announcestay on campus for either academic ' green beer for the St. Patricks Parment that the limit on profits made or athletic · reasons may stay in ty and that all plans are progresson Student Center parties has been either Ct)esapeake or Pickering ing well. raised from $30 to $50.

In this case, the administration determined that he should be put out of school for a year. He was not. The,wrestling coach was able to get him back in school and back on the mats, not only for his fourth semester but also for his fifth and sixth semesters. And I suspect that he would have been allowed back for his seventh and eighth if he had not decided to join the army and end his illustrious college career. There are those athletes who never take an exam on time, waiting instead for a make-up after they have been briefed on the exam's contents by those cooperative students who took it on time. There are those athletes who have never written a term paper, who have begged, borrowed, stolen, payed for papers. There are those athletes who are about to fail a course but are able to bring their grades up to thP. 2.0 level by giving the professor some newspaper clippings of their sports feats, a hard luck story, and one of those begged- borrowedstolen- payed- for papers. Of course not all professors will prostitute their standards in such a manner but there are some. In fact, there is · even an un-official rating of professors; th~ , are "good"- pro·tessors ·wb show favoritism -toward a.thle . nd are safe to take• for an easy-" :o and "bad" professors who show no favoritism towards athletes and are best avoided. And these scandals are not con- fined solely to the work area or the classroom. How about all those wrestlers who do not make weight but are able to either fix the scales or take advantage of its location by leaning against the wall with their hand and, by doing so, make weight. Some of the wrestlers it seems have never made weight for the dual meets finding it easier to "wall it." Has this practice gone unnoticed by John Reese, the wrestling coach and athletic director? Have all these minor scandals gone unnoticed by Mr. Reese and the administrators? Or are they condoned? I fear the latter. Let us be glad that not all athletes follow these corrupt paths. Let us be glad that most are good, hard working students who contribute athletically and non-athletically tu the college. Let us be glad Wilkes is not a major sports power and hence has no major scandals. _ I know, I have seen it, I'liave been a part of it.

It is the only approach I know and it has always worked for me" says Mary Jo Frail, senior psychology major from Wilkes-Barre. In fact when talking with Mary Jo, one gets the impression she has always, through hard work and determination, accomplished her goals. Concerning grades and schoolwork, she says, " I started out with just an average semester, as all freshmen do. So I said to myself, well this is a starting place and I've got to improve, I couldn't go below that." Mary Jo may have started with just an average semester, but this fall semester, just completed, she attained a perfect 4.0 average. " If you work hard, whether it be study or practice, you've got to improve. If you don't, you are not working hard enough." With ideals like that, it is no wonder that Mary Jo .has been a school leader, primarily in the area of sports.

It doesn't seem like very much but it will be when the theatre department's third production of the year hits the stage. Dr. Leonard Powlick is directing Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, and feels that the play is " the greatest and l!as revolutionized the theater since it was first produced in 1952.' • Dr. Powlick would rather not read a theme into the play and said, " Godot is one of the most moving and fun plays that I know of." Most people think that Godot is about nothing, but as Dr. Powlick explained, nothing is important and it is very real. Delaware Hall Upset With Cold Water To the Editor: Dear President Ca pin. Our patience has at last frozen as a result of our cold showers. We have been told that things are being done, but unfortunately, we have not seen - or should we say "felt" - the results. Hot showers (if any) are few and far between and we feel that it is not our privilege but our right to have hot water. This problem has existed since September, but has been especially bad this semester. It is not that the hot water runs out-there never was any to be had. We feel that we have been more than patient concerning this matter. Thank you for taking the time to read this . . . our dishes thank you, our clothes thank you, and above all, we thank you. The Women of . Delaware Hall NOTICE There will be a Junior Class meeting today at 12 o'clock in Stark Learning Center 166. Wrap-up of the Surprise and the Junior-Senior Dinner Dance will be discussed. All class members are encouraged to attend. "The play paradoxis life in many ways : everybody is always waiting for something and when what we're waiting for comes along, it won't be what we expect." Another point that Powlick explained is that everyone always complains about life being too short, yet we wish the time would pass quickly. Powlick added, "All human relationships come out in the play." Powlick has seen about five or six different productions of Godot and has taken to quoting it because the lines relate to everyday life. He went on to explain a certain production done in San Quentin prison, "The prisoners there have adopted the dialogue into prison language. Who knows better than prisoners about waiting?" The cast for the production in- elude: Paul Kerrigan as Vladimir; Chris Lonstrup as Estragon ; Larry Barrett as Potso; John Chervak as Lucky and Tara Buckingham plays a boy. The cast · according to Powlick, " is very excited and is getting more and more into the · thing as rehearsals progress. Powlick's last words of advice are, "Not to think about it too hard." He stressed not to over intellectualize the play. Chances are students will have to read Waiting for Godot some time or another. • It'll be easier to understand it after seeing it first or vice-versa." The show will open February 21 at 7:30 p.m. with high-school night. The February 22nd and 23rd performances will begin at 8:00 p.m. and the final performance will be Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. Margaret Scholl Greetings Everyone! All I can say is BRRRRRRRll, it's freezing outside ! The Great Spirit's tail is about to be frostbitten any minute now! Those trips around this campus are wicked ; especiaUy when you have to track up the street to P:irrish from Stark. AAAHHH - Winter is finally here ! Thanks to our old pal the groundhog (Puxitany Phil to his close friends ) seeing his shadow last Saturday, we will be having six more weeks of glorious winter weather. (So what else is new?) Just keep bundling up and snuggling with that special someone! As you know the much anticipated Winter Weekend starts tomorrow. I just hope that there's enough white stuff to sustain those mad trayers. Wouldn't want to cancel a few of the events for the very first Olympiad. We'll just have to put wheels on our skis or borrow some snow-making machines from Jack Frost or Elk Mountain! Just be glad this isn't Lake Placid! Or we'd really be in big trouble. . Speaking of Lake Placid, the ever-anticipated 1980 Winter Olympics has fmally (almost) arrived. The Great Spirit wants all of you to join Jim McKay in watching this great event every night and cheer on our athletes who worked so hard. Remember this only comes around once every four years! Don't miss it! Red Letter Day will soon be here. The Great Spirit wishes all of you a Happy Valentine's Day! give the one you're sweet on a kiss from me! . Special message going out to Bobby Gaetano: The great Spirit really loves your beard! There's NOTHING like a bearded Italian! · By the way, the Great Spirit is in search of the Wilkes College Gigolo. I want to see if he will rival the "American Gigolo." Early scouting results show that the Pickin's are SLIM! The Great Spirit will return before you know it! , Watch for me! P.S. Hey Flash Gordon, I know what your H.B. means . My sources tell me.t hat a certain population ain't gonna like it! Mary Jo Frail in." And ever since then Mary Jo has been playing sports and loving every minute of it. When coming to Wilkes, Mary Jo, who played four sports in her senior year of high school, had decided not to play sports at Wilkes. ''One letter from Mrs. Meyers asking me to play hockey changied my mind," Mary Jo muses. At Wilkes, Mary Jo has been on the field hockey team, serving as co-captain, the basketball team and softball team. When asked if she has won many awards, Mary states, "I've been honored a few times but it is more of an honor for me to play than to receive awards." A few honors is a humble understatement. As a freshmen, Mary Jo was honored as The Beacon "Female Athlete of the Year," and as a sophomore was the Wilkes female athlete of the y~ar It's Time To Play ..• The"CLASS FEUD" ·February 8th 10:00 p.m. at the CPA Admission 50e Sponsored By: and was this year honored by being selected to the MAC All-Star Field Hockey Squad's second team. Mary obviously plays sports not just for trophies or not just to please her parents, but in her own words "sports makes you feel like you can do something. It is also a great release for me and besides it is good physical exercise." Mary Jo has never regretted the path she has taken in life, but that does not mean it has not been without problems. "Sure I get stereotyped all the time, as the female jock and in high school, when the other girls were dressing up and looking pretty, they couldn't understand me. I had more guy friends than girlfriends." Mary Jo, however, didn't always quite fit the type .that ~ost people held of her. "Everybody was amazed in · high school," Mary notes with a laugh, "when I stood up and sang in our school musical, The Sound of Music. Maybe if I had been dribbling a basketball all the time, they would have accepted it a little more." Attitudes such as these may be changed as more women become more involved in sports. As Mary Jo notes, "When I was a girl, I had to be a warm-up catcher for the boy's little league team. Now there are a lot of leagues just for girls. " Mary Jo had to wait until she was in ninth grade before she could get involved in school sports but now most girls are starting younger. "Girls athletics are just growing and growing and here at Wilkes, the women's sports just keep getting bigger and better. They have every year since I have been here.'' With Mary Jo as one of their key players, it is no wonder. Mary Jo, who is also getting her teaching certificate this May, hopes to continue her study in psychology at graduate school. "I would like to get into School Psychology, for high school students where I may be able to talk with kids about their problems. As for sports, she hopes to pick up tennis, a sport which she can play for the rest of her life. So Mary Jo has set more goals for herself which with her determination and drive she will accomplish.

(? �Page 6, The Beacon, February 7, 1980 Education Department Offers New Program • I Last summer, Wilkes College's Department of Education and Temple University's, Department of Psychology . of Reading joined forces in order to offer a Reading Specialist Certification Program on the campus of Wilkes College. The emphasis of the certification program is to teach teachers how to help pupils develop their reading abilities to match their maximum capacity to leam. The courses offered also provide insight into the complicated psychological factors involved in the reading process. The necessity for programs such as this stems from a nation-wide decline in student reading ability. Recent studies have placed the average reading level of college freshmen at the eighth grade level. Although similar programs exist at Bloomsburg, Stroudsburg, and Scranton, the rising cost of transportation traveling to these places too costly for residents of this area; hence, the growing need for this program in the Wyoming Valley. In the first stages of planning, Wilkes sought out other institutions for assistance because it's own faculty lacked the expertise needed in order to be approved by the state. Finally, an agreemeqt with Tern- · pie University was made in which members of the Temple staff would come to Wilkes to teach the required courses. Under this agreement Wilkes is responsible for Album Review courses covering Elementary School Reading Instruction and Reading Disabilities while Temple supplies instructors who teach . practicum courses in Diagnosis, Developmental, and Corrective teaching techniques. In addition, . Temple also covers two other Psychology of Reading electives. Temple University has traditionally been a leader in the field of Reading Instruction and their staff contains several nationally- acclaimed experts in the field. Those scheduled to teach at Wilkes include: Department Chairman Stanley L. Rosner, Professor S. Elizabeth Davis, and Professor Marjorie S. Johnson. Dr. Thomas Scappaticci, who received his doctorate in Reading from Lehigh University, will be teaching the two Wilkes courses. In conjunction with the certification program, Wilkes College's Department of Education is offering a Master's degree in Education requiring only 9 additional graduate credits beyond those required for ttie Reading Specialist Certification. Students wishing to complete the master's degree must take two foundations of education courses taught by Dr. Eugene Hammer and Dr. Frank Darte, plus the course in Elementary School Curriculum. According to Dr. Joseph Bellucci, Associate Professor at Wilkes, these programs offer area teachers great professional flexibility. Some of the students presently enrolled in the program already have their masters and want to be certified. Others are in the certification program to get their masters, while some just want to be certified. In any case, the job market is reported to be good for reading specialists outside of this area, which gives teachers an added option within the professional field. Presently, the enrollment in the Reading Specialists Program is at thirty. The program will be offered .each year as long as the interest keeps up. If enough interest is noted in the graduating Reading Specialists group then a Reading Supervisor Program might be started. . This summer a reading clinic will be offered on the Wilkes campus open to area students with reading difficulties. The clinic will be staffed by the students presently in the reading specialist program. In this way, these students can gain practical experience in dealing with problem readers. Anyone interested in either of these programs should contact either the Wilkes Education Department, ext. 384, or the Wilkes Graduate Office, ext. 303. Dan Fogelburg - "Phoenix" Already a top ten album, this has to be considered one of the best efforts this year. Although Fogelburg is relatively unknown, this album is certainly his "break through". Fogelburg's unique fashion of country and rock is quite different from most bands that attempt this style. Fogelburg's music will appeal to both the country and rock listener. Cuts like the title and "Face the Fire" are classic rock numbers that blaze with intensity. Other cuts like "Gypsy Win" and the single "Longer" are well done, smooth ballads that will keep you humming all day. Fogelburg has long been recognized by his peers as one of the top instrumentalists of the day. This album proves the point to the rest of us. Fogelburg plays everything from guitar to ankle bells, all with the same smoothness he is known for. Before people ask you "Dan who?"; they should give this album a good listening. You will be more than pleased with the results. · - · 38 Special - "Rockin into the Night" If you don't like the new wave; if you're not into punk; you will like 38 Special. Stressing fundamental hard rock with a southern twist, 38 Special tells us that rock and roll is hardly "dead". Lead singer Donnie Van Zant, brother of the late Ronnie Van Zant, is excellent. His vocals are straight forward rock and roll with no "blues strings" attached. Cuts like the title and "You are the Captain" are good old fashioned rockers that will keep you smiling. The ballad "Take me through the Night" is also very good. Featuring right instrumentals and some well done production, it is reminiscent of some of Skynard's finest. A good instrumental is "Robin Hood". The imagery is great. If you like good timin' rock and roll, 38 Special is the group ycu've waited for. Although they lack the complex sound of many of today's groups, 38 Special's music is refreshing in this age of new wave and "message" rock and roll. George Saba SUN .

In celebration of this monumental occasion, the staff and management of the station planned a special album Saturday to be aired on February 23 beginning at 11 a.m. This special program will feature one of the top albums of each year the station has been broadcasting. The records include "Machinehead" by Deep Purple representing 1972, Grand Funk's "American Band" from 1973, "Bad Co." by Bad Co. relesaed in 1974, 1975 featuring Led Zepplin's "Physical Graffity," "Toys in the Attic" by Aerosmith from 1976, Boston's first album from 1977, 1978's "This Year's Model'' by Elvis Costello, and "Sparks" by Graham Parker from 1979.

Every new member who wishes to go on the air must take the written test given by the Federal Communications Commission. Most of these students travel to Philadelphia on their own to take the test, since the FCC only travels to Wilkes-Barre twice a year. "We're not given a travel item in our budget and students are not compensated Ior doing shows or taking these tests. They require a lot of time,' ' stated Peirantoni. The station gets invited to broadcast live from various locations. Last year they broadcast_Uve form the Wyoming Valley Mall, several bazaars and dances. The highest rated shows are rock and polkas. "It's the different styles of the deejays and shows which make it interesting for all kinds of people. No station in this area has such a variety of programming," said Pierantoni. He continued that everyone has improved during the years on the staff and as a result everyone is always learning something new. " We aren't pros," he explained "those people who make fun of the station should take a look at themselves because at least we are putting forth an effort." The "man behind the scenes," according to Pierantoni is Dr. Bradford Kinney, Director of Broad~ casting Services and advisor for the station. "He does so much for us," stated Fred Pierant~ni, " and the only compensation he receives is abuse and headaches." Dr. Kinney has a unique style of advising, the staff believes. They all say, "He is here when we need him but yet he also gives us free rein." Through adversity and prosperity, "The Stereo Voice of Wilkes College" will persevere and continue to function, stated Station Manager Pierantoni, hopefully for at least another eight years. Executive members of the station are: Fred Pierantoni, Station Manager; Rich Nordheim, Program Director; Gary Mack, Sports Director; Les Nicholas. Asst. Manager; Chris Kosakowski, Public Affairs Director; Jim McCabe, Music Director; Rob Wallace, Station Engineer; Bob Rushworth, Asst. Music Director; and Mark Thomas, News Director. Patti Sparlow Dual Honors Awarded Public Speaking Unit For the first time in the history of Wilkes College the Debate Union has brought dual honors to the institution. This past weekend saw two teams enter into intercollegiate competition more than 200 miles apart. The Public Speaking Unit of the Debate Union traveled to Monmouth College, West Long Branch, N.J. to enter competition in the most respected forensic tournament in the East - the Woodrow ·Wilson Invitational Contest. Winning a "Woodrow Wilson" trophy is considered to be at the top of the forensic ladder. Wilkes along with 23 other institutions gathered at the famous "shadow lawn" estate of Monmouth College, the former summer White House of President Wilson. Wilkes came home with two "Wilson" awards. Colleen Gries and Davida Roberts captured one of the impressive awards. Norm Witko and John Pliskin also participated at this contest. Twct hundred miles away and at the same time - the debate team was locked in competition at the James O'Toole Memorial Debate Tournament. More than fifteen institutions of higher learning gathered for the competition on the campus of Bloomsburg State College. Wilkes, with only a week of indepth training locked horns with some of the top teams in the East, including Clarion College, University of Maryland, Syracuse University and West Point. When the two day tournament ended; Wilkes College had won a fourth place, plus four individual awards. Wilkes won eight rounds of debate competition. The victorious squad consisted of: Patti Sparlow, who accumulated the highest speaker points; Karen Orlando; Darlene Schaffer; and Michele Fidrych. More than 38 institutions of higher learning watched the combined Wilkes Debate,rs and Public Speakers bring honors to the college. No forensic team in the history of the school can lay claim to the honor the members of "Kinney's Kids" accomplished this past week. The seven trophies won raised the number of awards won by the' Union to 21 this year and continues the winning record established at the beginning of the academic school year. The debaters and the public speakers are coached and directed by Dr. Bradford L. Kinney of the college's Speech Division. �Page 8, The ~aeon, Febna•ry 7, 1980 · Alplla Drive Close To Goal; AngoffToPresentLecture 1980 Camp~ign To Begin On Role Of Testing In Ed. After the first two years of its three year drive, the "Alpha" . Capital Campaign has achieved 2.2 of the projected 2.4 million dollar goal, with the 1980 Annual Campaign scheduled to get under-way shortly. "With any good fortune, we'll probably come out on top here," James Aikman, Director of Development, commented on the expected out-come of campaign "Alpha." Aikman added that because the drive ls so close to its goal, more people will be inclined to donate money, with some people even donating twice. He continued, "The closer the gap is, the better the chance people wilil)itcb-in.'' The 1980 Annual Campaign, which is concentrating on raising funds for college scholarships, will get started on February 27 with a projected goal of $200,000. This year's campaign will send out brochures to about 2000 prospects, with about 1000 other people being contacted by solicitors. Aikman noted that the school has over 155 volunteers from the Wilkes-Barre area presently working on the campaign . The organization of the 1980 annual drive consists of 7 divisions, each with a division leader. In turn, each division leader has 4 captains who are put in charge of 4 workers. Aikman also pointed out a special eighth division referred to as the "silver colonels," which consists of 6 or 7 expert solicitors who are given the key donation assignments of the drive. Director Aikman mentioned that due to a constant change in the public's attitude about Wilkes, prospects are assessed each year before being contacted. Factors such as previous financial commitment to the college, the prospects present financial situation and inflation are all taken into account when this decision is made. If con_dltlons are unfavorable at the time, a prospect is passed up for the campaign until a future date or drive. After the February 27th starting da~, there will be 4 report meetings held on the 5th, 12th, 19th, and the 26th of March at which progress statements will be announced. Rewards including mugs with the Wilkes logo on them will be given out at these meetings to those solicitors who have had the highest success in their work. Aikman stated that rewards, such as the mugs, are very important to the people who work on the campaign staff because it gives them something to show for their efforts. It is also the best way for the college to give thanks to all the volunteers involved with the drive. Although the mugs are given to those people with the highest amount of donations, Aikman mentioned that it gives everyone a goal. Commenting on the future of Wilkes' College .drives, Aikman stated that the goals will get higher each year. He concluded, "The money will be there, it's just more effort will have to be made to get it." Peter Steve Can The Broken Doors On Stark Be Fixed? For about one year now at least one set of doors in front of the Stark Learning Center have been broken, and during the year most of the other doors on the front entrances of SLC have also been broken. The problem with the doors is that they will not close by themselves. Business Manager, Charles Abate stated, "One of the major problems is the draft that is created. The arcade acts as a wind tunnel and the force of the wind causes damage to the door checks.•• He continued that the college has been working on fixing the doors for a long time. He explained that the problem is with the style of door which ls manuf_actured by the Ellison Bronze Door Company of Falconer, New York. The Ellison door has a concealed door-check system. Abate remarked, "the door-checks are not strong enough to take the use they are subjected to." Abate noted that the college has been exploring more than one avenue, and has come up with three possible solutions. The first solution would be to replace door-checks, but that would only be a temporary solution since they would probably break again. The second solution would be to "disengage the equipment if the pivot of the door can continue to be used and replace the door-check.'' The third solution would be to replace the doors entirely and since that would be the most expensive solution, the college is trying to avoid it. Last week Abate received word from the Ellisou Bronze Door Company that they no longer make the type of door-check used in the doors in SLC but they agreed that the door-checks could probably be disengaged, allowing the doors to swing open and shut. Abate concluded that this is what the college will try and hopefully the doors will be in working order soon. If it does not work, however, the college will have to try something else. Dr. William Angoff, executive director for technical development at the Educational Testing Center, Princeton, N.J., will present a lecture entitled "The Role of Testing in American Education," Thursday, February 14 at 8 p.m. at Wilkes College's Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. The program is sponsored by the Wilkes College Offices of Place111ent, Testing, and Admissions, and the Departments of ·Psychology, Education, and Mathematics. Dr. Angoff has served many educational and governmental agencies involved in testing and has conducted extensive research in this field which has come under increasing publ!c scrutiny. At his lecture, Dr. Angoff will review such topics as SAT's, "truth in testing," legislation, test bias, interpretation of test results, and will responnd to questions from the public. The program is offered free of admission to the public. During his two-day visit to the campus, Dr. Angoff will meet with faculty and students, Friday, 10 a.m. February 15, in room 41 of Gies Hall to discuss topics which will include psychometric theory, morality issues in testing, error of measurement, and validity. Dr. Angoff holds an A.B. from Harvard and a Ph.D. from Purdue University. He has authored numerous articles which have appeared in the leading scientific and research journals.

Last weekend the Wilkes grapplers dominated an NCAA t riangular wrestling meet with a 347 triumph over Southern Connecticut and a 39-9 victory over Connecticut at New Haven, Ct. Trian_gular and Quadrangular meets are popular during the second half of the season because they serve as a tune-up for tournmanets. A wrestler can compete in two matches in a tri-meet-and wrestle up to three bouts in a quad-meet. The Blue and Gold will participate in a quadrangular six days before their tourney in an effort to buld endurance for the event. A tri-meet also gives the coach an opportunity to give the reserves some action and at Wilkes, many of the jayvees are only one point away from varsity. Freshman Kris Rowlette, Nashaua, New Hampshire wrestled in top form and paced the Colonels with two victories. Rowlette defeated Jim Miller of Southern 9-5 and decisioned Connecticut's Tom Comkowyz 13-0. Kris has filled the vacancy left by junior Eddie Johnson and shows a 3-2 varsity slate. Johnson will be trying to overcome his unfortunate leg injury for the EIWA since this is his last year of eligibility, but it is improbable. Wilkes stalwart 126 pounders Mark Popple, Wilkes-Barre, and Billy Dodge, Arlington, Va., both met some tough competition in New Haven. Popple, enjoying a good feshmean season battled to a 5-5 deadlock with Southern's Paul Bulzomi, while junior Billy Dodge dropped a 6-4 decision to see his undefeaated record go to 4-1. Junior Bryan "the pinner" Billig, New Tripoli, outscored his two adversaries 33-5 with several near falls, but just couldn't hold them on their backs. Bryan leads the squad in team points with 64, including eight pins, one major decision and a superior. His varsity slate stands at a well-respected 12-2. Mark Troutman, Toms River, N.J., is another successful freshman and boasts an 8-2 record after winning three bouts last week. Mark scored nine team points in the tri-meet with an 11-5 decision and a forfeit. Lenny Nelson a yearling from Richland, N.J., . is wrestling Bob Matzelle Knocking Heads With Opponent tough at 142 and bolsters a 5-1-i record after his draw with Southern Connecticut's Rick Babbitts. Junior Pat O'Callaghan, Verona, N.J., was called upon for varsity duties but dropped a 9-8 heartbreaker vs. Connecticut. Junior c<H:aptain Mark Densberger, Danville, saw his record fall to 10-2 when he lost a slim 7-6 decision to Southern's strong Cliff Verron in the 158 pound tilt. Sophomore George Cherrie, Fleetwood, wrestled 158 against Connecticut but suffered an 8-2 setback. Rick Sampson, a freshman from Westfield, N.J., filled the gap at 167 left by the injured Dan Miner and wrestled with authority. Sampson garnered three wins for the Reesemen and may be depended upon in the future. Miner was supposed to be back for the Penn State match but may not return for a few more days. At 171, senior c<H:aptain Bart Cook, Neptune, N.J. raised his record to 7-2 with a pin, while freshman Pete Creamer, Bellmore, N.Y., ls5-2viaforfeit. Rick Smith added six team points to the Colonel total with a fall against Southern and gained six more with a forfeit in the 190 category. The junior from Walden Vt., Is second in team scoring with 54 tallies and sports a 12-1 record. lntramurals " A" Division Chumlies Benton Boys Crazy Horse A.O.A.

Matzelle currently holds a 11-1 record. Wilkes clobbered Binghamton St. earlier last week with a 43-3 victory at S.U.N.Y. Colonel freshman Rowlette lost his 118 pound bout to the Colonials tough i>at Miller 10-5. But that was the last time Binghamton led as our Colonels won the next nine duals. Popple put manners on wellrespected veteran Joe Benenati in the 126 category and Billig followed with his eighth pin of the season at · 134. Nelson followed the example when he decked Greg Locke in 2:36 at 142. Densberger, Cook and Matzelle also turned the trick at 158, 171 and unlimited. Troutman earned a 13-7 decision in the 150 tilt, while Sampson turned in a 12-8 decision at 167. Also victorious was Colonel Rick Smith with a decision at 190. The "Bit Event" was expected to take place Tuesday evening at our Gymnasium with the Nittany Lions of Penn State University. If the Blue and Gold managed to pull a victory we can count on a National ranking. If not, Wilkes will have to prove themselves in the Eastern In- tercollegiate Wrestling Association tournament which is slated for February 29 to March 1 at Lehigh University's Stabler Athletic Complex. Last year the Colonels placed second in the team race and seven individuals garnered placefinishes. The Wilkesmen will travel to Long Island to meet Hofstra University Saturday and remain on the road with Bucknell University Wednesday. Last year the Blue and Gold dumped the "Flying Dutchmen" 23-15 and our Colonels lead the 24-year series, 19-4-1. Tough bouts are expected at every weight class since the New Yorkers boast a well-balanced team. At 126, Popple will tangle with Jay Beiter or Joe Petrucci, while Billig will hook heels with Lou Dionisio or Mike Hogan. If Dionisio is at 134 then Hogan will probably go at 142 and Tony Damiani will face George Cherrie or Mark Troutman at 150. Densberger will ·meet John Sauerland in the 158 tilt and Danny Miner or Sampson will wrestle Bill Keck at 167. Several faces have been seen at 171, but one of Hofstra's top matmen will go at 190 ,,, or unlimited in the person of Aurel Balaianu. He was a runner-up at 190 in the Wilkes Open. The Dutchmen placed 4th in the Rose Bowl. The Bisons of Bucknell are taking their lumps this season and will have a tough time staying with our Colonels. The Lewisburg team does have a few good matmen with Rich Salamone, 118; Doug Mayes, 126; Greg Morris, 134; Doug Young, 150 • and Bob Greenly, 171. The Wilkesmen hold a 3-o All-Time series edge and defeated Bucknell 32-13 last annum. Bob Gaetano •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• l Women Seek Winning Record ! "We're just now beginning to pull it all together as a team," said rookie coach Nancy Roberts. "With a couple of breaks we'll be in the playoffs." Her Wilkes College women's basketball team is in the midst of a three-game winning streak while raising its overall mark to 12-5. In the first game of the week, the Colonelettes took on MAC rival Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove. Junior captain and AllAmerican candidate Dinae Kendig put on a dazzling display as she led the Wilkes ladies to a 62-50 victory. Kendig, a former Wyoming Valley West standout, accounted for 22 points, nine steals and eight assists. Also, hitting in double figures for Wilkes were senior Mary Jo Frail with 12 and fershman Arnette Uguccioni with 11 tallies. Bishop Hoban grad Lynn Yedlock and Stacey Keely controlled the boards for the visiting Colonelettes. "We just ran them into the ground in the second half. Our fast break opened up the game for us. It gave everyone a chance to play, " stated Roberts. On Friday evening the Wilkes girls then traveled to Allentown to face Muhlenberg. Again, Kendig's all-around performance led the Blue and Gold a 69-56 conquest over the Allentown school. She pumped in 25 points, seven steals and handed out five asists. Yedlock to and Keely again combined to lead ·all rebounders while adding 14 and 12 points respectively. Arnette also contributed five assists. "The officials at Muhlenberg let the game get away from them, and it became a rough-house atmosphere. We were lucky enough to have what it takes to bring home a win," said Roberts. · The NCAA statistics will be released late in the week, but at last look Diane Kendig led the country, the good old U.S. of A., in scoring with a 26.0 average. Lynn Yedlock . and Mary Jo Frail follow Kendig in team scoring stats with both hitting just under ten tallies a game. Frail and Kendig top the team in assists with 49 and 42. The rebounding department is led by Yedlock with 163 and freshman Stacey Keely with 130. Kendig and Frail are the defensive specialists accounting for 124 steals between them. Teamwise Wilkes is shooting 36 per cent from the field and 61 from the foul line. Wilkes is averaging 64.7 points a game with 1100 on the year - and give up 1007 for a 59.2 average for opponents. . The 12 wins this season ties the all-time Wilkes record for one season. The women traveled to TOP Bloomsburg State on Monday Wilkes women's cage team's before hosting arch rival Scranton leading rebounder Lynn University yesterday.

This year's edition might not get a chance to blow any. The Colonels' season seems to be following the pattern of a typical Wilkes basketball game - great beginning and then everything falls apart. At one time, the Wilkes team was 4-1 ; last Saturday they fell to of crafty veteran mentor Ed Donohue traveled to beautiful downtown Selingsgrove last night for a meeting with a tough Susquehanna University squad in another MAC battle. The situation is this, only two of three local teams will go into the MAC playoffs. There are 13 league games for each team. J\fter last night, here are the remaining MAC games for each team - Wilkes : Tony Madden Checks Out the Royals the .500 mark for the first time this season. Going into Wednesday's 'CRUCIAL" game with Scranton, the Blue and Gold were 9-9 overall and 5-5 in the MAC. Scranton took a 11-9 overall mark and a 7-2 conference record into that game. King's, playing better than anybody right now, is 10-10 overall and 5-4 in the MAC.

The fight for the two playoff spots could come down to one date Feb; 16, when all three teams play their final league games. Before the season started, Donohue told Righter, "At the end of the year, we'll (Scranton, King's and Wilkes) all be bunched together with the same records." Boy, was he right. Anyway, the way Wilkes has been playing lately, there won't be a problem when the playoffs roll around - Wilkes won't be in them. Last week, the Colonels went 0-3.

But instead, the Colonels showed the old, "play good first half, then roll over and die." In the Textil~ game, Wilkes had a chance to take a seven-point lead into the locker-room at the half, but blew it and instead went in leading by two. Then the second half blues came and the Colonels suffered a 76-64 decision to Herb Magee's Rams. Wilkes had three men in double-figures that night : Kendall McNeil with 25,' Pat Romich with 12, and Tony Madden with ten. On Wednesday, Wilkes traveled to meet Susquehanna in a key league game and came home with a disheartening 86-69 loss as the Crusaders blew away Wilkes in the second half. McNeil, who the week before had earned AII-ECAC weekly honors, led the Colonels with 20 tallies followed by Madden with 16, Mike McCarrie with 13 and Pat Romich with 11. Madden added 12 rebounds in the loss while Romich pulled down ten playing in place of starter Kevin Walker, who was out with the flu. "I'm really displeased with the way we are playing. I don't want to metion any names, but some guys just are not giving 100 per cent. We (asst. coach Steve Justice and Righter) will take into consideration a lot of what happens in these final games, when we get together next year, " said Righter. On Saturday, Wilkes hosted Lycoming College in a game where the Colonels expected to trounce the Warriors in revenge of an early season double-overtime loss. Instead, it was Wilkes that got beat, losing 65-60. The game did not count in the MAC standings. Mike McCarrie led Wilkes with 18 followed by Madden's 16 and Pat Mccue who exploded for ten points. ~1cNeil was held to six points. Following Saturday's away MAC battle with FDU in their bowling alley, Wilkes will host Lock Haven State Monday at 8. Prior to that game at 6 the Lyco JayVees will take on a community college.

Eddie White It's In The Cards For Bob Feldman When General Abner Doubleday modified the school-yard game of "nine old cats" into a more organized game, the General had no idea he would be creating a world-wide sport and multimillion dollar industry. Today baseball is enjoyed by people of all ages in dozens of countries around the world. In this country players like Pete Rose make millions at the game and team owners make more than enough to pay the name players. The sport has also spawned many other industries; bats, hats, gloves, and cards just to name a few. Most American men can remember their schoolboy days .. .· a time of creamsicles, jawbreakers, and bubble gum. The bubble gum was usually a complimentary item you received in the packs of baeball cards you bought. Baseball cards were an integral part of youth. You learned to trade them, flip them, shoot them, or if the old lady in the candy store was not looking, steal them. A schoolboy stock exchange evolved from cards as more often than not one Mickey Mantle was worth at least a Cardinals team picture and a Sandy Kofax. But by the time you were twelve or thirteen your mom probably threw .your cards away or your little brother stole them from your secret drawer. Today a Mickey-Mantle could be worth more than just a Sandy Kofax. You could get a few dollars H the card was in good condition. If you found a 1910 Honus Wagner cigarette card in your grandad's attic, it would bring you about $5,000. A 1954 Ted Williams card could put $2n0 in your pocket. If this strikes you as unbelievable, just talk to ace baseball card trader Bob Feldman. Bob is freshman R.O.T.C. cadet majoring in accounting. He puts his knowledge of accounting into practical use in his hobby of baeball card collecting. He has to be effecient just to keep track of the 60,000 cards he buys each year. Bob advertises in several hobby papers, and attends numerous card collector's conventions and baseball card club meetings. After talking with Bob, it is easy to see his hobby has become an enterprise. Bob's hobby interests lie mainly in collecting baseball cards and baseball paraphernalia, as well as rooting on the Phillies (he holds a season ticket to the Phillies games) . Bob has already transacted a deal in which he sold an autographed Greg Luzinski bat to a collector in Japan. Bob has also used his 2n0,000 card inventory to make some sales netting up to 500 per cent profit. As far as advice from the ace trader Bob says, " . .. the flea markets have dried up . . . and the cards of today will not increase in value like the cards of yesterday." Bob has not made any trads on campus yet but would be happy to look at any card you would be willing to sell. �I i i i ♦ i ♦ ♦ ♦ i ♦ ♦ i i ♦ I ~--..····-·-··............................J ---------------- ------ I I I I I I -- I I I I This year Valentine's Day falls on a Beacon Thursday.

Reese stated that he was very upset with the fact thtt the letter " . . . paints everyone with the same brush." The athletic director said he believed the letter to have been written by a wrestler who did not make the squad, and thus decided to express his anger by taking " . .. a cheap shot at everyone." Reese continued, "I know who wrote the letter and I'm sure it's not an alumni. I could probably prove who did this, but what good would it do?" When asked to comment on the various accusations of athletic abuses pointed out in the message signed "alumni," Reese began to explain each incident, noting that he would call them abuses rather than scandals. He elaborated further on this by stressing that a scandal is an infraction that is condoned by an institution, and not a single incident which is corrected upon detection. The example of the football player who played half a season with out being enrolled at the school was described by Coach Reese as a situation which could happen to anyone, not only an athlete. Apparently, the player registered for the semester, but never picked up his class cards or went to class, although he continued to play football. It was not until two weeks after the term started that the discrepency was discovered, and the player was removed from school. Disreguarding the baseball player episode by claiming, "I didn't even know of the incident until I read it in the letter," Reese proceeded to comment on the athletic work-study program. the director admitted that with 500 people working in the program off and on, it is very hard to be aware of everything that occurs. He co.n firmed that incidents like the ones mentioned in the letter probably do happen, but he exclaimed, "We've caught them and we corrected them.'' Commenting on the wrestler who was allowed to stay in school with a low GPA, the Director of athletics stated that this student was allowed to stay on because he probably showed academic promise, and not because he was a wrestler. He continued that again such circumstances happen to all students, not just athletes, and that it was not fair for it to be stated the way it was in the letter. Reese also interjected that it is up to the academic council whether a student stays or not, and that "I can't get anyone back although I can try to get them some With an 11 to 4 vote, the new course withdrawal policy passed the Academic Standards Committee overwhelmingly at their meeting last week, stated Dr. Owen Faut, committee chairman. The policy states the present 10 week withdrawal period will be decreased to four weeks. During the first week of classes, a student will be able to drop a course with the advisor's permission. From the second to the fourth week, the student will need the permission of the instructor, advisor and the dean. After the fourth week, a student may Withdraw from a course only after consultation with the instructor. There was approximately a halfhour discussion during which students and faculty presented opinions concerning the proposal. The student members of the committee stated that in a four week time span, the instructor may not give an exam, therefore, the student does not know how he or she stands in that course, so a student cannot make a decision concerning withdrawal from a course. The basic philosophy of the faculty is that a "W" is not a grade and should not be substituted for a grade. If too many withdrawals are permitted, the student is penalized because prospective employers and graduate schools view the "W" as a Withdrawal Policy Sparks SG Into Long Discussion "Many faculty members are getting requests from students to explain W's to grad schools and employers," stated Dr Faut. If this posposal passes, Dr. Faut believes that the academic standards of the institution will be reinforced. The benefits of the proposal are far-reaching, he stated. Since the reputation of a college dictates the meaning of a degree, the degree a student receives at the end of four years will mean more. The student with a degree from a school with an outstanding reputa- help." Addressing the issue of the "wall it" method of weighing in for some wrestlers, Coach Reese repeated that even though "some kids may have done it," it is very hard to do it frequently without getting caught. Noting that opposing coaches weigh the wrestlers in for various meets during the year, he went on to say that "You don't get prestige by cheating, most of the kids work hard during the year to keep weight." Academically, Reese maintained that becaui;e of the division one standing, all wrestlers must have a 2.00 average out of high school <Continued on Page 3) Dave Samsel asked whether the committee checked into the course withdrawal policies of other colleges in the area.

Second, if the standards are kept high, the endowment fund grows, and tuition increases are not as fast or as costly. Faculty salaries can then rise, therefore better instructors can be hired who will give students a better education. Better students will then apply to the institution. "We will also be opening up faculty-student dialogue through the conferences," Dr. Faut said. Since the pool of college students is declining, the reputation behind the degree received after four years could be the deciding factor when going for a job or applying for graduate school. Dr. Faut stated that indications are that faculty members like the proposal, although he cannot say if there is a majority. The audit policy passed the faculty at their February meeting. As of September 1980, a student will be allowed to sign up for an audit only during the first week of classes. The withdrawal policy will be brought before the faculty at their meeting on March 13. If this passes, it will also be in effect for the fall semester of 1.980.

Our minds are being polluted from the day we are born, to the (lay we die, and very few of us try or are even able to stand up and shout, "I don't believe." "It is far better to open your eyes and say you don't understand, than to close your eyes and say you don't believe." With open eyes, I don't believe that no one here in American, 'the most richest and powerful nation on earth,' dies of malnutrition. I don't believe that the energy crisis happened overnight, and that no one in America knew about it beforehand. I don't believe that our nation is not preparing to go to war in the immediate future. I refuse to swallow the lies, fabrications or half-truths the government, major corporations and America's wealthy force feed us every day of our lives. What can we do you ask? I am only one person, how can I possibly change anything? First, you can start by taking care of your body. How are you possibly going to cure the sickness in your mind when you will not take the time to clean up your body. Dick Gregory said, "I can't understand people who keep on buying cigarettes. Now I don't mind catching cancer, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for it, and pay state and federal taxes too." Nicotine is a drug, and its' addiction is no less serious or dangerous than a person's addiction to alcohol or heroin. You have got to purge your body of pollutants before you can begin to cleanse your mind. • For those who claim that nothing can be done. Let me start by asking you; did you vote? I know, there was no one worth voting for, and when that time comes, then you will use your vote. Well, if there was no one worth voting in, then you can be damn sure that there was someone worth voting out. I for one am ashamed that I did not use my vote last year, but you can bet that I'll never let this happen again in the future . When is the last time you wrote your congressperson telling him or her that you were tired of having your rights abused? When is the last time you opened up the paper and read something other than the funnies, sports or Dear Abby? Let me ask my fellow minority students on this campus if they belong to the N.A.A.C.P.? There are a helluva lot of things that can be done. However, the best preparation is by attempting to cleanse your mijd of the brainwashing which we all receive every day of our waking lives. The key Ingredient behind it all is that you have got to start caring about and yourself, but also about what happens in the lives of other people too. The biggest fool is the person who cares only about himself and what happens in his own little world. Unfortunately, this person does not realize that the moral pollution affects everyone and everything, and he too suffers along with the rest of us. In closing, on a brighter note, let me commend all the participants and sponsors of last weekend's Winter Olympics.

" stated Hugh Finn, weatherman and reporter at WBRE-TV 28. Finn was the featured speaker at the Communications Seminar held Tuesday, February 5. A native of Wilkes-Barre, Finn has held numerous jobs at various stations, including manager of the Mansfield State College radio station; news director at WLYC in Williamsport; announcer at WARM and WNAK ; and his current position at WBRE. Finn is also the recipient of the Joe Snyder Award for ADlleese Continued from Page I before they can even try out for the team. He asserted that although most kids are recommended to Wilkes by their coaches, if he feels they will not be admitted, he will not even try to recruit them. Viewing the events in the letter as isolated and relatively infrequent incidents blown out of proportion, Reese concluded by saying that he really doesn't see any scandal!! occuring at all! Peter Steve Book and Record Mart 18 S. Main St. WIikes-Barre BOOKS-RECORDS-TAPES 825-4767 Cliff and Monarch Notes the Best Broadcaster in Pennsylvania. Out of all the things that need to be done in broadcast journalism, .Finn said writing is . his favorite part of the job; he likes "trying to pack the story full of meat." Finn feels that TV will become more localized in the next five to ten years, and there will be plenty of jobs in broadcasting because television stations will be wanting younger qualified people. He also went on to say that the size of the market must also be looked at. In a market the size of Wlltes-BarreScranton, it should be easier to get into the media because of the fact that after graduating from high ·school or college, kids leave the area and people in their twenties will be wanted in the future: Finn used himself as an example, commenting, "While I was still at WARM, WBRE called and asked. me to tryout for the weathermanenvironmental reporter position." Although he wanted to be a "street reporter" Finn tried and beat out twelve others, including a meteorologist. His point - TV stations are looking for younger people who have credentials and have established themselves in the area. One transition from radio to TV Finn commented on was that after talking to a michrophone, "the camera looks like Darth Vader." Finn said that he found it hard to look directly at the lends. He feels it's better to first get into television because through it, the fundamentals of radio can be learned. "I love campus stations," remarked Finn. "There are no commercials, and it is more imaginative since you don't have to appeal to a large number of listeners." Finn was supposed to present some video tapes of a series he did last week on poisons. However, a telegram stating that he and the station would be sued if a segment in which qualified people stated that poisonous plants were the number one cause of poison-related deaths among children was shown. He explained that the tapes had been taken to a lawyer. As for recognition, Finn doesn't like it. "I feel like I'm going to a prom every night," he declared. "I have to get dressed up every night, and a man even comes in once a month to cut my hair. I never realized that the people who sit on the set are considered way up there."

It was decided that free beer and wine would be available at the party, rather than a strictly cash bar. Although this will raise the ticket prices somewhat, most IDC members felt that having acash bar with a lower ticket price members that the CC-IDC Valentine's Day Party will be held this Friday in the gym, from 9:30 to 1:30. The band will be "Chance." In other business, the 1980-1981 college calendar was discussed. Stapleton pointed out that a fall break during the middle of October has been included in the calendar. -Also under other business, it was reported that the report on Co-Ed Housing has been completed and will be presented to the Student Life Committee this week.

She added that there will be tryouts for the emcee position also, although candidates from all the schools will compete in this particular audition. Mainly in charge of publicity for the show, the responsibilities of the ·two chairmen also include the sale of program patrons and an allocated 200 admissions tickets. Cardillo commented that a patron ticket costs $12.50, with each patron receiving two complimentary admission tickets to the mixedvariety presentation. Last year, out of the 14 to 20 acts entered, College Misericordia won top prize. It is hoped that this year, each school will provide five acts, all cpmpeting for various trophies and the first place award of $100.00. Cardillo mentioned that this year's show will have local television personalities as judges, which will undoubtedly add some excitement to the program. Ticket prices will be $3.00 for the general public, $2:00 for students with senior citizens being admitted free. All proceeds will benefit the Red Cross. Cardillo said that in an effort to boost ticket and patron sales, the possibility of a party after the April event is being discussed, but she pointed out that this is only in the form of a suggestion and must be looked into before becoming finaliz_ed. She stated that anyone wishing to help with the show may do so by contacting her at 826-()427, or by calling Dave Samsel at 1129-9153.

The Olympiad teams gathered to display their country's dress and their banners. As teams gathered in the parking lot of Kirby Park, it was easy to feel the electricity that clung in the night air.

The First Wilkes College Olypiad was abo_ut to begin and people could not wait to get started. Almost fivehundred people entered_the competition representing twenty-four different "countries". The nations fell into formation and paraded on to Ralston Field where master of ceremonies Marla Brodski introduced the guest speakers. First, John Sheehan, excutive director of the Wilkes-Barre Chambers of Commerce, opened the games with a short speech supporting our efforts.

This seemed to be the underlying goal in this particular relay race. r The last event held Saturday was the Tug-Of-War, and this had to be the most exciting event of the games. In the consolation hout for 3rd, Guyana came back after falling behind early to out pull the Canadian team. At first glance, the finals looked to be a mismatch with the Italian team showing a great deal of muscle. But it was Rhode Island who surprised everyone by winning a grueling match that pitted strenght against team work. Sunday afternoon, the American Brewing Company served as sponser of the last event titled, " All Anything Goes". The competition, aside from being part of the Olympiad, served to determine the Wilkes College entry into a divisional play-off between King's, Scranton, and · Villanovia. The winning team of this play-off recieves an all-expense paid week vacation in Atlantic City wJiere they will compete against other divisional winners. At the exciting conclusion, the team from Bangledesh captured its only medal of the weekend by finishing ahead of Rhode Island and France, who placed 2nd and 3rd respectively. As determined by the total ac- . cumulation of points through-out the weekend, the top ten teams . were as follows: 1. Rhode Island 21 points 2. Luxenburg 171-2 ~Fn~e U 4. Ireland 13 13 5.Sweden Ii.

The friendly competition served to unite all who participated. Although, there were some trouble spots which were caused by inexperience, a good arguement can be made for continuing the Olympiad in future years. There could not have been a better cure for what President Capin described as the winter doldrums. Saturday night, the Beach Party held in the gym proved to be a great success. The capacity crowd was treated to. good food, good music supplied by the "East Coast Revue," and a good atmosphere in which to enjoy the company of friends Closing the weekend in style was Many Bear who had played here once before. Good wine and cheese were served.as Mr. Bear entertained the crowd with a combination of well liked songs and audience· participation. His closing message was well chosen and truely represented the spirit showed this weekend. He said that we should feel lucky to still have our helath, youth, and freedom. This Winter Weekend proved also that•we should feel lucky to have each other. Many thanks must go out to the numerous people, dorms, classes, and organizations that helped make this past -weekend a memorable one. The success that came about was due to the combined efforts of everyone who participated. Perry Lichtinger KEEP THAT ROPE TAUT! The Rhode Island .team griped the rope and captured the thrill of victory and probaltly sore muscles. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF? This may have been tile question Dr. Kinney posed of Bobby Rushworth during the "Class Feud." �Page 6, The Beacon, February 14, 1980 Professor Elliot Expresses Opinion; · Letter To Editor Found Disturbing From Ten To Four If the new withdrawal policy passes the facilty in March, students will be allowed to drop a course during the first four weeks of classes, as of September 1980. The reasons for this switch from the present 10 week system are numerous and an optimistic outcome is predicted. The college will benefit in many areas from the adoption of this proposal. Many people argue that this hurts the stude~ts, mainly because after only four weeks, a student does not know how he-she is doing in that pa,rticular course, especially if the professor has not given an examiniation yet. These · peopl_e claim that four weeks just is not enough time. Considering the long-term effects, we can only agree that this policy will benefit the college. Anything which is going to upgrade the academic standards and make our degrees worth more after four years of hard work, has to be worthwhile. As students, we want to come out of college with a good education in preparation for good job opportunities. The reputation of the college reflects on the students, and for a good job, a graduate must have a reputable college behind him or her. With many job markets competitive as they are, a strong academic background, which includes studies and standards, can only be beneficial to the graduate. Because withdrawals are being viewed as failures, students are being penalized in the long run, not benefitting. Although the new policy may seem like a disadvantage now, face it; either we pay now by losing six weeks of withdrawal time, or pay later, possibly by losing a potential job opportunity. ''Be Mine'' The response to our special Valentine's Day insert which appears in this week's Beacon was overwhelming to say the least. We thank each and everyone of you who made our attempt at something different a success. To the Editor: I have been at this college for • many years, and yet this is the first time I have felt compelled to submit a letter to The Beacon. I do so now only because of the two letters which were contained in the issue of February 2, 1980. Perhaps one should not be upset by anonymous letters to the editor, but it seems to me such correseondents take the liberty of engaging in having the courage to Identify themselves. In an era where old ladies are. mugged in parks and when four on one attacks on fellow humans are distressingly common, I suppose it is to be expected that here at Wilkes we will be occasionally exposed to the raunting and drivel of the cowardly. ·I was particularly disturbed by the letter incorrectly signed "Alumni." Having been a proud member of this institution, having been an equally proud supporter of Its athletic program and having known and respected John Reese for many years - I was appalled at the accusations that were made. These charges were comprehensive in that they covered coaches, athletes, the Admissions Office, the Financial Aid Office, the Academic Standing Committee, the Athletic Committee, the deans and individual members of the teaching staff. If "Alumni" will come forward to me personally, I assure him that I will maintain full con- · fidentlality and will attempt to check the validity of the various accusations.

Students Urge Sports Scandal Investigation . Phone : 1717l 82-1-1151. Ext. -173 · All views expressed are those of the individual writer and not necessarily el die pnUcatNII of tlle college. We, as students of Wilkes College, were glad to see that someone finally brough to light the minor sports scandals that occur here at Wilkes College. Several weeks ago in the January 24th issue of The Beacon, there was an article about the Middle States Association final report on tile accreditation of this college. We must agree with their evaluation that there Is "an Imbalance of attention given to male and varsity sports, such as wrestling, at the expense of female and intramural sports.'' We hope to see this imbalance corrected. As for the minor scandals, we have in the past heard of such happenings and oftentimes from the athletes themselves. But suddenly all we hear since last week is flat denials. We hope the issue will not die with these denials. We would like to see some sort of investigation either by The Beacon or the administration to insure everyone these things won't continue. If such happenings continue to be condoned or Ignored the school and the students will suffer. In our opinion these scandals are true. We know, we have heard it, straight from the horses' mouths.

If "Alumni" has the slightest Sincerely yours, . sense of morality or fairness, I George F. Elliot believe he will accept my request for additional information. If he is Wrestler Rick Smith Writes In Defense Of John Reese To the Editor: In reference to an article in last week's Beacon, "Former Athlete Sees Campus Program Suffering From Small, Subtle Scandals." I feel this person is suffering from a failure complex. From the information in the article he is an athlete who coultl not cut the mustard and is now trying to lower the esteem of athletes in general just to raise his own. In his letter he talked of athletes with low grades who were allowed to stay in school. WeIJ at least the athletes had a G.P.A. I know of a case from this past semester a nonathlete student that had a o.oo (ZERO) G.P.A. and was allowed to stay in school. There goes your great theory that athletes are the only ones to receive grace from the Academic Standards Committee. As for athletes receiving money for school I think you have financial aid and athletic scholarships mixed up. Also the student work study program is run well. The work gets done on time and the students are paid according to their respective hours put in. The supervisor signs the time cards and the individual students pick up their checks from the finance office. Under this system it is impossible for an athlete or any other student to get paid under another student's name. It seems as though there have been some big cheating scandals Criticism Of Gries Seen As Unsound And Uncalled For going on around Wilkes this past year. I do not recall hearing any athletes names mentioned in the involvement of the scandals. Some athletes may cheat but don't stereotype all of us, unless you want to stereotype the whole student body as cheaters. The article was full of biasness and slander, as I have pointed out. The concealment of the writer's name is evidence that he was emharrassed by his predjudiceness. Why do so many students have a negative attitude towards John Reese and his wrestlers? .John Reese is a very respected figure in Wilkes-Barre as throughout the nation. He would never condone nor tolerate cheating. John Reese works very hard to produce a successful team. It is a great achieve-ment for a school of our size to have a sports team ranked in the top of the NCAA Division I. We wrestlers feel we promote our school's name in good standing. We are proud to wrestle for Wilkes and we win for Wilkes.

Wecare: · Nettie, Sally & Kathy Puddln'Cheeks Peggy �February 14, 1980, The Beacon, Pag~ 7 Basketball Game Violence Upsetting To Cheerleader To the Editor: . As a Wilkes College Cheerleader I was extremely upset about the outcome of the Scranton-Wilkes basketball game. I realize there · was alot that influenced this fight, but I don't feel violence should be thrown into sports as a means of relieving tension, or to get your point across. The fans, for one, were very obnoxious. Many Scranton fans were behind the Wilkes Cheerleaders and they were nasty to us right from the start. I am not saying Wilkes fans were angels but being nasty and disrespectful to the cheerleaders is uncalled for. I only hope our fans do not engage in this, and will lead in spirit - not violence. Free Tutoring Now Available . At Writing Lab To the Editors: We realize the difficulties you face in publishing a weekly newspaper as well as keeping up with your responsibilities as students. However, we cannot overlook the gross incompetence of· your editorial staff. A college newspaper should serve as a reflection of literacy on campus. We are appalled at the quality of writing in this newspaper and are ashamed as students that this newspaper represents the journalistic capabilities of our school. Therefore, we urge you to seek tutoring. A free student service is provided in room 257 of the Stark Learning Center. We will be more than willing to help. Sincerely, Dan Patronick Writing Lab Staff P.S. We never knew Weiss' window could walk. I feel the players on both sides got out of hand also. Can't people get their aggressions out without curs- , ing arid fighting? It puts a damper on the game, and it really isn't necessary. I believe the coaches should be able to control their teams but this did not seem to be the case. Most of the blame I would put on the referrees. You had to be blind not to realize this. They seemed to prom.9te this violence. In closing I would like to say whether a team losses the players and fans should go home satisfied that there is school spirit. The fans actually clapped when we did a cheer! It only makes us feel bad to realize this occurred due to Scranton clapping for their girls. Can't this school get some spirit up? Support your school. Be proud of it. It's great to fill the stands up, to yell, get rowdy, stamp feet, and clap hands. Go to the games and have fun. With the outcome of this game, I'd say both teams were losers, and that's sad. Let's try to be winners from now on, and influence the other teams to show respect and spirit also. Sincerely, · Bobbi Lou, Hamilton Reader Gives Support To Colleen Gries To the Editor: To Still Another Concerned Student: Last week you commented that Colleen Gries, Junior Class President didn't deserve all the recognition she received. First, I believe that the article and letter were not intended·to make her a saint, just to give credit where credit is due. Second, if you had known the whole story, Concerned Student, you wouldn't have wrote that letter. I know for a fact that Ms. Gries did, in fact, check for the film, but not with the right people, as her mistake was to trust Student Government. I believe, that it was the responsibility of SG's Film Committee to make sure the film arrived on time. I think the college is lucky to h~ve people like Colleen Gries who are willing to go out on a limb to make sure an event does not fall through. You stated that this mishap is no different than any others associated with various activities. Well, Concerned Student, I think it is quite different. Driving to New York to get a film is hardly comparable to going to Deckour's because the party is out of beer. Furthermore, you try to second- GriesAUack Unwarranted; . Reader Decries Criticism . To the Editor: I usually enjoy reading Letters to the Editor in The Beacon but was very distraught over the individuals who bitterly and viciously attacked Colleen Gries. Also, as a concerned student who is mildly involved in Wilkes College; I realize how much effort is put into events, such as the Junior Surprise, and how they provide an outlet from strenuous routine studies. It seems that this unwarranted criticism of.the Junior Class President is not constructive. I suggest that when an individual talks like sour grapes, without constructive criticism, he or she should keep it to themselves. Don't be jealous over a go-getter and talented president like Colleen, just be happy you have . one.

Focuses On Mastering Skills "The Business Education Program offers extremely useful preparation for careers, which the students sometimes don't appreciate while they are students." Linda Glordano, an assistant professor in the program, stated that the courses are open to all majors, ·not just business students. · The foundation of the program is set up in order to prepare students for careers as secondary business education teachers, although students are not locked into receiving teaching certHicatfon. This program places emphasis on mastering the operation of an office in the skills area, rather than on theory, as does the Commerce and Finance Department. In other words, they get dowri to the nitty gritty. For years, the Business Education Program was a part of the Commerce and Finance Department, located in Parrish Jlall. Two years ago, they were moved to Butler Hall and are now found in the Educaiion Department. Miss Giordano stated that she has worked hard with this program, and in the past two years it has undergone numerous changes. The prograrµ can now boast of between 25 and 30 · majors. They are also hoping to offer a minor in Business Education. Dr. Eugene.Hammer, Chairman . of the Education Department feels that a general, well-rounded; basic education prepares the student better than a highly specialized one. "The more specialized the program is, the less valuable it is,'' he stated. Thus, the program sets up the student for job-seeking in numerous areas of business such as executive secretary, office manager, legal secretary, and teaching. This program offers very versatile career programs and Miss Giordano stated, "The versatility of the program is its best feature." Indeed, the program offers courses ranging from basic typewriting and shorthand to Business Correspondance and Reports to Cobol ·and Business IEIIVE campus. This organization is the college rendition of high schools' FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America.) and gives students the opportunity to learn about the business community as they prepare to become part of it. It helps students to lead and par' ticlpate in group discussions; preside at meetings and conferences; and work effectively in committees.

At halftime, Bloom held a 46-24 lead in a game played on their owri home court. · The Colonelettes did pull within five with an effective full court press, ala Ron Righter and the men, but ran out of steam. The final score was Bloom 79, Wilkes 63. For Wilkes junior Diane Kendig tallied a game-high 35 points while senior Mary Jo Frail added 12 and senior Lynn Yedlock pulled down 16 rebounds in the loss. It was basically the same story against " Duh U" otherwise known as Scranton University. The lady Royals, guided by first+ year coach Mike Strong (he was asst. men's coach year ago), jumped out all over Wilkes and did not stop to look· back as they coasted to a 73·38 victory. Wilkes also lost its captain Diane Kendig for most of the game when the All-American candidate went down with an injury with 12 minutes left in the game. The injury was diagnosed as a bruised hip and it was thought Kendig would miss a few games and maybe the rest of the season. She did, however, play on Saturday against the Minutemaids of L.C.C. Kendig finished the Scranton game with eight points. Frail led Wilkes in scoring with ten tallies. Freshman Stacey Keeley and Lynn Yedlock combined for 19 rebounds. On Saturday afternoon, the Colonelettes traveled to Nanticoke and defeated an always-tough L.C.C. team 47-46. The win was Wilkes' 13th on the year which gives them the most wins ever by a girl's B-ball team at Wilkes. It was the first win for the ladies over LCCC in 12 years. Wilkes again did not play well. "We have to get scoring from more people," says Roberts. "In the last few games we've played only four people per game have scored." The rookie coach's words held true again last LCC as Diane Kendig pumped in 20 and Yedlock canned 12. They only other players in the scoring column were frosh Diane Hall with eight and Joanne Bowling The two early season frontrunners, the Avengers and Bud's, were both embarrassed last Friday in .the Wilkes College Mixed . League. Poky's (John Yudichak 189-504 and Kathy Kulp 166-459), though sweeping the Avengers, were not able to keep them from retaining a two-game lead in the Pacific Division over the EE's (J oe Rauschmayer 184-490) and the BS'ers (Jim E dwards 180-486 and Colleen Darrell 129-361) who both stand at 6-6. Bud's was not so lucky, their 1-2 loss to the Assorted Nuts <Dave Samsel 180-468 and Martha Lasco 151-436) dropped them out of first place in the Atlantic Division for the first time this season, because Guy · Zehner's 195-546 helped the Mother Brothers sweep the Pack and rise to the top of the division. The Midwest Division continues to confound the experts. No one has figured out if the competition is tough or if the five teams really aren't that good ; however, the Aristocrats (1~2 vs. the Vets Club I, Rod Wyffels 234-593) and the previously mentioned Nuts lead the division at .500, 6-6.

"I have been pleased with the improving play of our freshmen. They are learning, which is a good sign for the next season. " She added, " I also cannot say enough about the all around play of Diane (Kendig). She has done everything we have asked and more." Kendig's statistics show ltoberts knows what she is talking about as in 18 games this season she has scored 450 points for a 25.? game average. She was leading the nation in scoring last glance and needs only 79 more points for the 1500 career point plateau. She also leads the te~ in steals and is second in assists. - Yesterday the lady Colonels hosted the girls -from Moravian.

Faut began by reading the proposal as it will be read before the full faculty when it comes to a vote on March 13. When Joe Galli asked why the change has been proposed, Faut replied that, "Wis not a grade." He went on to say that the ten week policy has fostered the belief that "W" is a substitute for a "O" or a "1, '' and as a result gives the impression that the instructors are afraid to give low grades. He added that it makes it look like the college just does not give failures or D's and makes the overall college grade average appear false. He further eiplained that it is not necessary that an exam be given for a student to decide if he will stay in the course since the result would be that again the "W" would be a substitute for a grade. He told the SG body that in shortening the withdrawal time the college is trying to encourage students to take a closer look at a course and to talk with the instructor before dropping the class. Marla Brodsky pointed out that in most courses the first few weeks are introductory material and you do not get really involved in the course until later on. Faut responded by saying that if that is the case, students are being cheated. He said, "You are paying good money for good instruction from the first day of classes." Faut continued to explain that with the newpolicy the value of a student's transcript will increase. He added, "Wilkes is relatively young and we are still building our reputation," and he views the new withdrawal policy as one way to help do that. He stated, "There may be an increased number of low grades, but the purpose of this institution is to test how good you are and if it does not do that you are wasting your money.'' When asked why the committee had chosen four weeks as the deadline for course withdrawals, Faut explained that four was picked because itlookedlike it was the most reasonable compromise between what is, what was, and what should be. Ana Nunez asked Faut what he would consider adequate reasons for dropping a course after a four week deadline. He answered that good reasons would be illness for long periods of time, personal situations at home, or if a student finds that he simply cannot do the work required in college. Two representatives of Parties Unlimited, Mike Mey and Rick Chapman, were · present at the meeting to explain their proposal to have parties in the Student Center on weekends when no else schedules parties. Continued on Page 2 Academic Dean Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, bas confirmed that ten academic departments have applied to offer minor concentrations in their disciplines beginning next · fall. The ten departments are Art, Biology, Chemistry, Commerce and Finance, Earth and Environmental. Sciences, Language and Literatures, History, Mathematics and Computer Science, Political Science, Sociology and Anthropology. Hartdagen expla~ed that the proposals from each department will be voted on by a sub-committee of the curriculum committee. The approved proposals will go before the full faculty at the March ' FORBES -Sr. Editor Schedalecl To Lecture On Ba~iness Of Today -. Malcolm S. Forbes, Jr. vicepresident and secretary of Forbes, Inc., and Senior Editor of FORBES Magazine, will give a lecture entitled, "Business and the Economy," Wednesday evening, February 27th at 8:00 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. · FORBES Magazine is one of the country's oldest and most important business management publications. Mr. Forbes graduated cum laude from Brooks School, North Andover, Mass. in 1966 and from Princeton University in 1970. While at Princeton, Mr. Forbes was fouding editor of Business T~ day, a quarterly publication design- ed to give students a balanced perspective of the business world. Business Today became the country's largest magazine published by students, with a nationwide circulation of 200,000. The magazine continues today, still being produced by Princeton ... University undergraduates. Immediately following bis active military service, Forbes joined the business pUblication founded by his grandfather in 1917. He became a director of Forbes, Inc., in 1971 and .was appointed Vice-President and secretary in 1973. In 1976, he became Associate Editor of the magazine and was promoted to the post of Senior Editor in 1978. His duties include writing editorials for each issue of FORBES, the third generation of his family to doso. In both 1975 and 1976, Malcolm Forbes, Jr., was awarded the crystal owl presented annually by the U.S. Steel Corporation to the reporter making the most accurate economic forecasts for the coming year. In addition to being a consecutive win, it was the first time that any writer won the award twice during the competition's 40year history. Mr. Forbes was runner-up for 1978. meeting for final approval. A list of the approved minors and their requirements will be forthcoming. Most departments will require 18 credit-hours of work, but departments offering four credit courses can require as many as 24 credits. In addition, some departments may offer minors in more than one .specific subject area. Hartdagen indicated that he is pleased with the response of the departments at this point. "I had no expectations that all of the departments would apply," he continued, "some may start one later." He pointed out that there are 16 departments that have the potential ability to ofter a minor and he expects that more departments will start minors in the near future. · Although it bas not been decided how a student will sign up for a minor H he wants one, a procedure bas been suggested which would include a form where a student would indicate his advisor but he would be welcome to consult with people in the department of his minor. When asked H graduates could return, Hartdagen answered that anyone, including graduates, could come back and complete the requirements for a minor at any time.

He would also like to merge all committees on campus and have one non-academic committee supervising all campus activities.. Dr. Bradford Kinney, committee member, asked which activities would be included in the new committee. Dr. Terry replied that it has not been decided yet, since it is only in the early planning stages. Dr. Terry also announced that this would be bis last year as chairman of the Student Publications Committee. Another one half or three-quarter ·scholarship will be given to the "Manuscript" at the expense of the other publications, stated Dr. Terry. "I cannot in good conscience ask for more than 10 scholarships," he said. Therefore, he will arbitrarily divide the scholarships between the publications. He feels the "Manuscript" bas been short changed the past several years. At the April meeting, student personnel for next year will be examined, and the scholarships awarded. Faculty and administration and students are invited to the March meeting of the committee to voice any complaints or praise for the three publications. , NOTICE The Census Bureau will conduct its national cenius of population and housing in the spring of 1980.

Polar Bear Club Promotes Participation In Skiing , Do you like meeting people and making new friends? Do you like having a good time? Do you like to ski? If you answered yes to these questions, then the Polar Bear Club may be your cup of tea. According to Charlie Issacs, President of the club, "We bring out skiing within the college. We want people to try skiing and get to know each other. It's basically a social club with 90 to 100 members." The Polar Bear Club sponsors weekiy trips to Elk Mountain every Wednesday, a yearly trip, and a picnic at the end of the year. To enjoy these activities, you don't have to go to Wilkes - everyone is welcome. Issacs commented, "The more people, the better the time you have." Of course, there is a $3 yearly dues which is mainiy used to keep the club in operation, and helps to]lay for the gas for the trips to Elk. ~ p_~st yea~~ -~~ub took its yearly trip to Sugarbush Valley, Vermont. Approximately fifty people went on the trip. "Everyone had a good time in spite of the lack of snow," Issacs stated, "and we are invited back next year. Sugarbush is probably the best mountain in Vermont." Issacs went on to say, however, that he is also looking into a trip to Vale, COiorado for next year. While at Sugarbush, Wilkes entered a ski race sponsored by Nastar, and raced against each other. There are three categories (beginner, intermediate and expert) which are run on the same course, and there are three trophies for each category. The course is run timed and clocked, and handicaps given. Medals are given for a good time against the pacesetter. The winners for this past year are: Beginners: first place, Dorene Strops; second place, Darrell Evans; third place, Jay Lafkowitz.

Officers of the Polar Bear Club include Issacs; Vice President, Treasurer Charlie Zezza; and Secretary Sue Issacs. "They are good officers," Issacs commented. "Being president is a lot of work, but I enjoy leading this group and I get a lot of respect.'' They added that they want to get more interaction between commuters and dorm students and they plan to offer more than just music and beer. Their goal is to see that there is a party on campus every Friday and Saturday night. They explained that they will supply their own workers including people .to clean up, set up and act as security. When Marla Brodsky told them that everyone is wondering what their motives are, they explained that they just want to have a good time. They said that they are involved with students and they get a lot of feedback and as a result they think they know what students want and they are·willing to give it. Students attending a party given by Parties Unlimited would have to pay $2.00 at the door. Any profits realized from the parties would be put in an account to be used for future parties. Aproposal was made that Parties Unlimited become a subcommittee under SG's social committee. The proposal was passed 20-0-2, and guidelines will be made for the new subcommittee.

Policy Calnan Baggs A~cepts Po~ition · Seen At Student Expense As Asst. Food Service Manage r At the Inter-Dormitory Council's .Sunday night meeting the proposed four week withdrawal policy was discussed. Ana Nunez, student representative to the Academic Standards Committee, presented the proposal to the IDC representatives. She stated that one of the purposes of the policy is to allow the faculty to have more control over the academic affairs of the students. It was also expressed that the policy may bring about increased responsibility in the faculty. However, almost all the IDC reps felt that this increase in faculty responsibility to the students is being sought at the expense of student rights. As the policy stands now, even with the decreased time for withdrawal, professors will still not be forced to test students or provide students with any evaluation of their performance in a course before the four weeks is over. Instead, the emphasis is placed on "talking with the professor," before withdrawing from a course, according to Nunez. IDC President Mike Stapleton announced that the report on Co-Ed Housing has been completed and was presented to the Student Life Committee, which voted unanimously to back the proposal in Dean's Council. If the proposal passes in Dean's Council, it will go to the President's Council, where the possiblity of having the co-ed housing on campus will be decided. It was also reported that the Valentine's Day Party held on Feb. 15 was a huge success. Stapleton thanked all the reps who helped with the party. · · Mary Kay _Pogar The assistant Food Service Manager, Randy Morris, is leaving Wilkes to pursue a similar position in Corning, New York and his replacement, Calnan Baggs, will take over the day to day running of the dining hall. Baggs said his duties include such tasks as ordering food and making sure the shifts are adequately staffed, but these duties are · familiar to him. He managed the dining hall in the spring of 1977. During that time, he instituted the · salad bar. The following fall semester, a policy of second on food was established. --~~~ a~ ~~king for input from Pr~posed Four Week Withdrawal Policy Main Discussion Topic At ~C -Meeting Commuter Council's main topic of discussion at its weekly meeting was the proposed 4 week withdrawal policy.

She pointed out that there is a lot of controversy over the policy and went on to explain that the policy will accomplish two basic goals. "The policy is to create dialogue between the professors and the students, while also providing greater control over the faculty and the students." Ana continued, "the primary function of the policy (according to several professors) is not the students' rights, but rather the image of the school. " The discussion ended with studerits being asked to discuss the withdrawal policy among themselves and to share their ideas with professors. . .--t~I ~..r....✓.,..-..-oo!f You'll be amazed at all the opportunities and advantages the Army offers men and women . with BSN degrees: .BROOK'S BARBER JHi_OP , · • 1 t ~ • Excellent starting salaries and benefits, including a liberal vacation policy. • Real ~ pportunity for advancement and professiona! growth-every Army Nurse is a commissioned officer. • No basic training for nurses; just a bas,ic orientation course to familiarize you with the Ariny Medical Department. • The chance to travel; time to do the things you enjoy. • Opportunity to qualify for specialized roles, teaching or additional education.

Obviously some of you do and since then we have been occasionally bombarded with letters covering many subjects. We are flattered and grateful to see that many of you consider this paper THE main channel of communication on this campus. If you want everyone to know what you are feeling there is not a better way to get your point across than to submit a letter. Everyone on campus reads them, from President Capin right on down to that naive freshman who sits next to you in History class. Lately, however, certain people have been submitting letters that are attacks against personalities around campus. To be specific, in our February 7, 1980 issue, two letters were submitted that were directed towards the integrity of our Athletic Director John Reese and the Junior Class President Colleen Gries. We decideg to print both letters for specific reasons that will not be discussed here. What bothered most people was that the author~ of these letters declined to have their names printed below their writings. Some say there is nothing wrong with that. It meets all the requirements of our Letter policy which states that "all letters must be signed in ink, but names will be withheld upon request. '' Our letter policy is not unusual for any newspaper but things are getting out of hand. The policy is not .going to change and names will continue to be withheld upon request. What we would like to see, however, is a little more responsibility on the part of those who do submit a letter of this type.· If attacks or gripes are going tp be . aired in this paper, we strongly suggest that the author sign his name to it and face the music. The credibility of any article or letter is only as good as its source. Remember that. If you want your letter to have impact, put your signature at the end of it and let everyone know who you are. Wallace Upset With Presence OfSecurity To the Editor: It should be brought to the atten- tion of the Wilkes Family that the IDC-CC Valentine's Party was a success. However, what would have been a completely enjoyable evening was slightly marred by an episode which I feel is unnecessary at Wilkes. Quoted as being "a bummer," was the presence of certain individuals which detracted from the festive atmosphere of the party. I speak, of course, of our security people. Their multi-manned, uniformed showing, complete with night sticks and pistols had all the warmth of a German war movie featuring the Gestapo. Their pacing and congregating at parade-rest was impressive! While these antics were tolerated by some, they disturbed others. I certainly agree that security is needed; but, are the nightsticks and pistols really necessary? Must they congregate, pace and stare? Are they so intent on preserving their ' own "Starsky and Hutch" images? In the future, might we not consider a lower profile for security people, without the armament, to lend a more enjoyable atmosphere to our gatherings? Robert S.

Especially in recent years as we have lined up for "American Graffiti," "The Summer of 42," "Grease," and watched "Happy Days" on television, America has become sort of an on going high school assembly. As the most tribal experience many of us will undergo, high school must be memorable. Never again are we ranked so precisely by those around us and on so many scales. Through the popularity polls of our classmates, and their inexperience at tact, daily feedback is conveyed about how we are coming across. Such merciless judgement will not easily be forgotten; it's the last time in life we will know just where we stand in the scrutinizing eyes around us. Consequently, insight into a person's high school behavior can usually give us an accurate picture of how that person will be in future life. Knowing what an individual was like in high school can make, or seem to make, everything fall -into place. Because study after study shows that there is seldom much difference in behavior between adolescence and adulthood. A look at one group of students 13 years after high school reports their "remarkable persistence of personality trends.' ' What this means is that they were probably stuck for life with the behavior they displayed in high school. If noisy then, they would most likely be talkative in later life. Self-assured as teens, they will appear on. top of things later. For those who want life to be different after high school, this is discouraging news. But here is the encouraging news : although our behavior may not change after high school, the setting does. What succeeds in school won't work later on. Physical gifts, looks, a winning way and an easy smile - except for the ocassional Robert Redford or Raquel Welch - are qualities that won't get you two seconds on the evening news. On the other hand, qualities that lose your status in high school - aggressiveness, imagination and an independent turn of mind, may ~ just the qualities neede~ to make it in a larger setting where performance counts more than style. "A study done by a Columbia research team of the 20 socially most popular and prominent members of the senior class showed that this group did not maintain a relative advantage or success in either social or other areas of young-adult performance when compared with a matched group of socially non-prominent peers. '' In other words, things do change after high school and roles can reverse - radically. David A. Clanton -------the·<~beaeon------USPS 832-0tlt Brodsky Speaks Up & Claims Identity_ As Author ofLetter In Feb. 7th Issue To the Editor: On February 7th, a letter appeared in The Beacon which expressed the sentiments of myself and many other students. My job as student representative is just that; to project the feelings of my fellow students. It's purpose was to clarify a mix-up and to question the praise given to an event run by the Junior Class President; unfortunately, the message was misinterpreted. To start off, I am very pleased with the job Colleen Gries has done as President of the Class of 1981 ; her diligent efforts and concerns are highly commendable and appreciated by many. But, to go out of your way to secure a movie Is not such a terrific feat, especially when you have to do so to correct your own mistakes. The event went over • well; however, the praise given it was a bit too lavish. My Jetter · has been misinterpreted as "smacking with jealousy," yet I work for the students, not for self-recognition. Because individual efforts are merited differently, I cannot compare my job energies to Colleen's. As a result, I am not jealous of Ms. Editor-In-Chief Jim Edwards ( . Gries, because we work for two different causes; she for the Class of • '81 and myself, for the student body. These are the reasons we were elected to different positions. As Vice-President of Student · Government, I am very much aware of the happenings and mlshappeniilgs on this campus. I get first-hand information, which enables me to objectively compare efforts. I received direct information from Colleen myself, about the "Surprise" mix-up, which I made clear in my previous letter. So, it seems ironic that you "knowledgeable concerned students" could have backed up your criticisms with wrong information! ! ! If positive remarks are to be made, take credit for it; why were you reluctant to reveal your names? If you are willing to make comments concerning another student, make your identity known, so that your actions may be questioned, just as well. you discussed the "controversial letter" by a "Wilkes Alumnus" who "brought out many issues . . . none of (which) were documented and there was no proof along with the allegations.''

This is similar to what Ann Cardillo, a senior from . WilkesBarre, experienced a few weeks ago. ' Upon graduation Ann will receive a Bachelor's Degree in both Education and History and also will be certified to teach the social sciences in any grade from kindergarten to 12th grade. Anyone pursuing a double major has their work cut out for them; but to also be involved in most everything on campus as will take a great deal of time. Among Ann's activities are: Student Government, where she is the only commuter serving on the body; vice-president of the Education Club; secretary and .financial treasurer of the National Historical Honor Society; Student Aide in the Engineering Dept. ; an active member of Theta Delta Rho Soroity; and is a chairman of the Red Cross Variety Show to be held in April. "There are some weeks where I have a meeting everynight; I complain but I also enjoy it very much!" Ann said, •~•m nosey and I like to know what's going on! " She was recently involved with the Winter Weekend Olympiad where she coached a team of commuters. Ann gets a certain degree of satisfaction from teaching and it is understandable why her students are very responsive to her. Ann's smile shows the caring and patiene it takes to teach small children. Ann has been involved in several praticums and also teaches Sunday School. "It's so great to see the smiles on their faces when they accomplish something," the popular student commented. "I have a special philosophy of education which is that a child is born with a naturalistic ability; my job as a teacher is to try to fulfill these abilities," Ann continued, "I have to try to help them reach their full potential through the use of multiple teaching methods." She also feels that she must give them respect in · the same amount that she expects from them. Reflecting back on her first en- . counter with that unruly class, she thinks teaching them will be a "challenge and a half." She stated emphatically, "Maybe I can be a probation officer after I'm done with this class." By listening to Ann for about an hour it is evident that her first love for a career choice is teaching. Saying with pure sincere- ty and an undying smile, "I really want to teach. I like kids and people in general. Teaching is a very exciting and rewarding career.'' Ann is quite active in local politics in addition to all her activies on campus. She recently was on the committee to re-elect the an all consuming desire to go into the theater, or be a theater person." He thought "I'm 18 years old, I'm in no hurry to grow up, I want to be here and now, seeking fulfillment, and exploring it." As a student, Paul had a unique role in the development of theater Paul Kerrigan I department here at Wilkes. "When I came, there was no theater degree or major so to speak of." Many people told him that he might be better off at another school. However, Paul believed "the atmosphere was right for development." Since that time, enough to be involved with the creation of the theater major." He believes ,the theater degree program grows stronger each year and it is a good department. is her guide off-campus. Oddly enough, her nickname among friends is "mom," because she is always there when someone needs to talk. Why is Ann always there, very simply, "I care about my friends very much," Ann stated. True to Ann's smile, she is a very optimistic person. "I always try to look at the bright side;_there has to be sometldng good happening as well as bad," the smiling co-ed explained. "I'm a procrastinator when it comes to school work; I'd rather be running a meeting. When it comes to reading materials, I'd much rather be talking." In closing, Ann knows that a teaching career is going to be hard work but feels that it is worth it. In her search for a job, Ann ideally would like to stay in this area and feels going to far away would put a strain on her close family ties. Knowing Ann, it would benefit everyone involved if she stays as close as possible to this area. . . ,e~!l'h.. • .-- ._,,,·. (,~'<>. -···" " ·~-- . Margaret.Scholl three Wilkes-Barre councilmen.

Paul is a senior theater arts major and will perform in this play starting tomorrow. Dr. Leonard Powlick, an assistant art professor in the department of language and literature, directs the well-written Samuel Beckett play. Other actors featured in this play are Chris Lonstrup as Estragon; John Chervak as Lucky; Larry Barrett as Potso; and Tara Buckingham as the boy. The play, although fast paced, takes place without an. abundance of props or performers. Pauls acts the part of Vladimir in this production and has performed in many other plays at the C.P.A. You might recognize him as Caesar in George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra or Teddy in When You Comin' Back Red Ryder. In addition to a full load of school work, Paul rehearses over 15 hours · a week. Although Paul has firmly established himself as a very good actor, he originally started his college career in a major far removed from the theater. Originally enrolled and studying at another university, Paul had "the opportunity to come here because-the door was open and the people were friendly. I knew where I was at, Navy ROTC and business, was not where I wanted to be. I did not want the security of it, I want to make some mistakes, gain some control over my living." In high school Paul had performed in several school productions and further developed his talents working summer stock with his older sister. In spite of this, he says, "it wasn't Ann being there as a true friend to help; she has been helping Donna Grontkowski in her quest to become a state delegate to the National Presidential Convention at Madison Square Garden. "I've constantly been involved with politics, " Ann· stated, in reference to being senior class president in high school. "I like to see what happened in past politics and compare it to the present and future." Ann continued on another subject. "I guess I've always considered myself a women's Uber. I feel that the family shoula be joint, the husband and wife should WQrk together but I also believe in the Importance of the mother." When it comes to women being drafted, she thinks that they will probably not see combat duty but will be put into clerical duties. • Ann also considers her friends on campus to be very influential towards her but claims her mother Like many actors, Pauls (eels most comfortable when performing on the stage. However, his talents are not confined only acting. He has been playing the piano since age seven and lately, he has started directing plays. "As far as compos1 ing things, writing things, I don't have the discipline. I would rather take what someone has given and perhaps give it some shape, and my own imput to it, I think there's some value to that." He says, "That's way I like performing better than writing ... it's a temporal thing, if I make a mistake, I have to go on." Paul's musical abilities complement the acting side of his personality. He is better able to interpret sounds and follow the tempo and rhythm of speech. Paul states, "the theater is for everyone and it's all give and take." A close interaction exists between the performers and the audience. "Each performance will be different because one can never capture a moment." The audience will be an integral part of this play because Beckett constantly alludes to the audience and to their existence. Paul Kerrigan, besides being pleasant and inquisitive, is a talented individual who has come ·into his own here at Wilkes. He works very hard to improve and refine his talents, and eagerly shares those gifts with people around him. To put it quite simply, he describes it as "a labor of love. " . I can hardly wait to be part of this year's performance. In the meantime, I'll be Waiting for Godot. '· David A.

Catherine Slusser ring a bell? Is she the prime minister of a foreign country? Or, maybe a famous scientist? No. Actually, she ls the newest member of the Wilkes College faculty. The Department of Anthropology . hired Miss Slusser over the semester break to fill the post vacated by Dr. Demory who left to continue her research. At the moment, Miss Slusser is teaching only two night classes but, her hopes are to take on a full -load as soon as possible. Until a full-time position is offered, Miss Slusser will continue to live in Binghamton, N.Y., where she is presently working towards a Ph.d. in Anthropology at the state university. In 1971, Miss Slusser rec~ved her Bachelor's degree from the College of William and Mary, and in 1973 .she earned a Master's degree from New Mexico State University. Both of these degrees were in anthropology. Her previous teaching experience includes a teaching assistant position while at Binghamton, and various summer school courses. She has been giving guest lectures · here for the last two and a half years at the request of Dr. Rasson. As an anthropologist, Miss Slusser's main area of interest and study is spacial cognition, which studies the way people think about, organize, and use the space around them. The field is a very narrow · topic but, it overlaps with many other fields, such as psychology, sociology and architecture. More specifically, Miss Slusser has been studying the spacial cognition of Mayan communities, in detail, who are the direct decendants of the pyramid builders in Mexico. - As part of her education, Miss Slusser traveled to Yucatan, Mexico, and spent a great deal of time living with a studying the native culture. Miss Slusser stated, "The trip was an extremely rewarding experience for me. It gave me the chance to be isolated from the culture I grew up in." She continued, "Anthropologists need to step outside their culture in order to better understand other ways of · life. The science stresses crosscultural experience." As far as future research plans are concerned, Miss Slusser plans include a return trip to Mexico for. a follow-up study. Plans are being made to conduct a joint study with an archeologist who will look at.the material aspsects of space, while Miss Sluss~r looks at the interpretation of these patterns. The goal of this effort will be to develop a more realistic approach to the study of foreign space use patterns. Miss Slusser noted, -"There are very few places in the world that I woilldn't want to go. Yucatan is a very beautiful place and I'd like to return. AI so, I'd like to visit Australia." When asked how the Wilkes Department of Anthropology compared to the other institutions she has attended Miss Slusser replied, "This is the first place where the Anthropology and Sociology departments were combined. All the other places have had a separate Anthropology department." She added "It's really interesting to work with the people from the Sociology department although I'm not used to it." "I'm somewhat disappointed that there isn't more emphasis on Anthropology here because, the T.)CK=:Mte:::::xMaggie Says• response from the students has been good." Miss Slusser stated, "I would find it exciting to be apart of an expanding program if possible.'' "So far, 1'1te enjoyed the classes I have;" Miss Slusser said. "The students seem to be interested in what we're doing. They are lively and like to ask questions which I feel is good in developing a strong relationship between the teach~r and class." The only problem Miss Slusser says she has come across so far is the fact that her classes only meet once a week. Her comments were, "Meeting only once a week leaves little time to really develop interaction, but we've don~ well so far." Although Miss Slusser has very little leisure time, her favorite hobbies include reading, creative cooking, hiking, and sewing. She stated, "I'm definitely not domestic, but cooking and sewing are things where I can be creative. I like reading science fiction and fantasy but, I'm really a dungeon and dragon addict.

When people think of fields which ~ for graduate school train/ng,one of the first which comes to mind is law. Many people assume that colleges train students for law school by giving them a barage of pre-law courses and offering them as much back ground in law as possible. Philip Tuhy says, "Wilkes does not really have pre-law courses." According to him the law schools do not recommend students to take many pre-law courses in college. In fact because of the nature of the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), prior law experience may be a hinderance instead of a help. The LSAT is a test which measure a persor!' s logical reasoning ability and reading comprehension skills. According to Tuhy, the job of a lawyer is such that the law schools are interested in people who have the ability to reasolt' logically. In effect, law is a discipline based upon logical choice and the LSAT are geared to test people on these logic skills. Tuhy states, "To take the LSAT one must answer questions within the context of the facts which are given in each question or problem. A person who has had pre-law courses in college may be persuaded to select a logic~l answer based on this background and not necessarily on the · information given in the question." This personal knowledge may cause the student to choose the wrong answer, which may be logical in his eyes but incorrect by the information given. It seems that there is no one major whose students take the.LSAT; in fact, students from all majors take the tests. Tuhy states that, "English, science, political science and communtiy development majors as well as other Wilkes graduates have taken the LSAT and gone on to law school. These people had the logic background and the reading comprehension s!cills necessary to get into law school. " Preparation for the LSAT is difficut as there is no real way to study for them. Tuhy suggests that the only way to prepare for the test is to take courses in logic, improve reading comprehension skills and REACH OUT Phone Toll-Free and talk to former volunteers about' Peace Corps and VISTA (800) 452-1589 X-2 (Pa. only) (800) 523-0974 X-2 (Md., W.

The theater department is preparing for the next production, "Angel Street," directed by Jay Siegfried. The play is a mystery thriller which deals with a man (Mr. Manningham) who is torturing his wife to insanity. The mystery game begins when a police inspector tries to uncover the necessary evidence ·against Mr. Manningham. Siegfried chose to do this play for several reasons; the cast is small (seven roles) which u1akes it easier to find enough good people to fill the l'(.:es. The production will be a period piece set in 1880; this gives the students and faculty a chance to do some research on costumes, sets, props, and attitudes of the .-time. The play requires a box set which is a three walled set with an imaginary fourth wall. "This kind of a set has not been used at Wilkes this year,'"Siegfried explains, "this should provide the audience with a different perspective than the last two productions. '' "Due to the fact that the play is a suspense thriller the atmosphere is important. This means that the set design, lighting, costumes, etc. play an important role in the production." Siegfried explains. "It is the kind of a play that most people think of when they think of plays," he added, "It will make use of the curtain which hides the set from the audienc!t until it is raised, thus lending an air of mystery to the play.'' He believes the play will be very demanding for the actors. "The play takes place in 1880, which means that the actors will have to do some research into the different attitudes and values of the time. The on stage behavior must coincide with the actual behavior which people had about 100 years ago.'' The play ·was originally presented under, "Gas Light" and has been a success in most of the places it has been performed. "It is escapist's theater at its best," Siegfried adds, "It is a mystery . thriller which does not take itself to practice at taking multiple choice tests under the pressure of a time limit. He further states that many graduates who take the test for the first time do not do well because they are not accustomed to the time pressure of the testing. However, students increase their scores on an average of 30 points the second time they take the test. Wilkes graduates who take the tests increase their scores from 60 to 90 points. Once the students adjust to the time limit factor, they are able to do better. Of the Wilkes graduates who go to law school, the majority of them complete the schooling. Tuhy adds, "Wilkes has a good reputation with many law schools such as Temple and Vilanova. Once our students are accepted there are few who have dropped out." The criteria for acceptance to law school varies from school to school. Some schools look for a maturity factor, this is to say they accept older students to balance out their enrollment. Some schools try to balance their enrollment by geographic distribution. "In these cases" Tuhy states, "those who are from a certain area of the country and apply at the right time get in with very little trouble." Wilkes does not have many records on the success rate of graudates who have gone to law school. It seems that few of the graduate students communicate with or authorize the schools to send records to Wilkes. Tuhy is trying to find some one to update the college records concerning these graduates. He says that some of the political science majors as well as some of the community planning majors go on to law school. But many of the graduates from these fields go into community service and political offices on the state, local and federal levels. Tuhy agrees that this lack of updated records on alumni from these and related fields could cause the college to loose a valuable recruiting tool for prospective students in the future.

BillTurcan Parenthood Consultation Now Available On occasion, the college has worked with local agencies to provide a sense of community and continuity for the student body. Planned Parenthood Association of Luzerne County in cooperation with Wilkes has started a new service available for the entire student population. Along with other area · colleges, Wilkes now has a student who will act ·as peer counselor to aide students in obtaining information, referrals, consultants, films, literature or just "someone to talk to" in regard to problems concerning sexuality. The objective was to create a program for college women which will increase their awareness of the need for good reproductive health care, including, as appropriate, preventive examinations, contraception, nutrition education and prenatal care. However, this program is not exclusive to women since it is important that men also understand their roles in regard to reproductive health care. Shawn Murphy, coordinator at Planned Parenthood, piloted the program. Although the college is cooperating in any way possible, the peer counselor is under the direction of Planned Parenthood. All contracts with the peer counselor as well as Planned Parenthood, are strictly confidential. Mary Ellen Wright, a senior nursing student, is the campus peer counselor. She is availble on campus Monday through Friday or can be contacted through Jean Reiter at the Housing Office.

An appendix and a map accompanying this section help explair) each phase in greater detail. · According to the dormitory action plan in the study, "New dormitory construction will meet Immediate needs, long range maintenance, and econ:omy. Renovation of some existing dorms remains a necessity." Two major priority alternatives for the construction of new dorms are the Northampton Street site which allows immediate action and will replace maintenance burdened structures, and the West South Street site with its prime location in relation · to general facilities. Options for problem .dorms include two priority disposition plans for high cost and maintenance buildings, the phasing out of some dorms such as Gore and Dana Halls for parking, and the rehabilitation of some existing dorms .such as Sturdevant, Waller, McCiintock, Catlin, and Weiss Halls. It should be noted that "Other remaining dorms may also respond well to rehabilitation" although these will "require a later decision, as events unfold corresponsding conditions.''

Phase one, which is expeceted to strenghten relationships and in, crease the number of usable classrooms, ranges from the relocation of student activities into the new Student Center, to the regrouping of functins in recovered space. Phase two calls for the implementation of computerized scheduling and a space management system, and the increased utilization of instructinal and administrative areas. It is hoped that these two goals will result in the "Establishment of minimum and maximum space requirements." The final phase of the action plan seeks the transferring of activities from poorly utilized and maintenance prone buildings to the newly freed space in Stark Hall, along with the recycling of "abandoned space to meet economic or PYROS• SANDERSON • •tltltec ll - •• ·fln e r1 e fle •e1,1 lfl 111 e i11 • h ••I . ,1 .... . ..... . . .... . 11 10 1 ( plans reported in the planning · study aim at utilizing building resources, while recognizing the areas heritage. It is noted that because of incentives available to public and private institutions, it is becoming profitable to practice preservation. Attempting to determine the distinction between old and significant structures on campus, the following concepts were tatten into consideration; federal, state or local , agency recognition,quality and ar· chitectural value, location and campus identity importance, economical use, and long term (projected use) and adaptability. Once a building has been evaluated for its "utilization value, operating cost, and historic significance, and change is imminent," three types of preservation my be used. Restoration attempts to "achieve historical accuracy and preserve architectural integrity," adaptive reuse provides "for functional needs rather than historic accuracy" although "The 'historic aspect' is retained," and conservation suggests preventive maintenance for "all structures which have a useful life expectancy." Other developmental alternatives include; conversion (necessary when a radically new use of a building is proposed), disposition (the sale ofproperties), and demolition (" if a structure is relatively unimportant architec· turally and historically, deterioration advanced, the practicality of reuse marginal and the land is valuable. )" It is pointea-out though that demolition should not be used "except in instances of extreme hazard or conditions of health." · After discussing four topics important to the preservation and development of older buildings;roof repair-restoration, energy conservation, code enforce- . ment, and cleaning, refinishing, and water -proofing, the section finishes with a general summary. In the summary, it is statedthat because of recycling possibilities, old buildings may prove to be a resource of substantial value. The study continues to say though that because of pressures to consolidate the campus and reduce maintenance burdens, many structures including a few 'historic properties' will have to be sold. It stresses that restoration work on these properties should continue since the importance of these buildings is acknowledged, with special requirements of new owners to respect and preservethe structures.

Four women are making their contributions to the success of the college swim team. The Blue and Gold swimmers are enjoying one of their finer seasons, sporting a 4-7-1 record with the coeds playing an intricate- role in helping the team achieve their mark. First year coach, Bob Greenwald commented, "They are an added dimension and although they are in some difficult events they are doing well." Coach Greenwald, a reputable swimmer himself added, "I thought they would just gain the experience and prepare for MAC's, but they have helped the team by winning relays and made the difference in winning two meets this year.". The coed .competitors are freshmen Kim Bush and Peggy Butchkavitz while sophomores Michelle Maguire and Megan Caverly are in their second season.

Second place fini$1les were made by Moffatt in the 200 yard freestyle, Gergen in the 50 yard freestyle, Edwards in the 200 yard individual medley, Bello in the required diving, Maguire in the 200 yard butterfly and Doty in the 200 yard breaststroke. To say the least, Wilkes has had better showings but the Colonel swimmers have their eyes aiming toward the MAC Championships this weekend at Ursinus College. Coach Bob Greenwald Is planning to have the best showing ever for a Wilkes squad at the championships. With the work the team has put in this past season, many should reap the benefits. Maguire and Butchkavitz will be names to watch in the events for women. Both are tough competitors and will show their true colors when they compete solely against women. Dave Gergen and Reed Bello, both freslu:nen, are expected to also tum in fine performances. �Page 10, The Beacon, February 21, 1980 Ladies-Keep On Win~i~g, In Playoffs For First Time "We're really excited about making the playoffs.

Anyway, it was a win and lifted the Blue and Gold's overall record to 10-11 and they went into Mon: day's game with hopes of a .500 season. 10-11? You might ask what happened to that 12th loss. Because the game was not finished and neither John Reese or coach Righter have heard any official word, the "fight" with Scranton will not count on Wilkes' record. Last year, . FDU-Madison and King's had a similar situation and each team took a win when a brawl haulted the game prematurely. In last week's action the Colonels suffered an embarrassing 84-69 loss at the South Franklin Street Palestra to Lock Haven State. Wilkes was outscored 30-6 in an eight-minute stretch in the second half. Is that anyway to blow a game, you bet it is! , . Kendall McNeil, who played the final game of his career Monday, led W_ilkes against the Haven with 19 points. Mike McCarrie added 17 and Tony Madderi chipped in 15. Madden, playing better than anybody else on the team, also pulled down 12 rebounds. Pat Mccue, who chipped in nine points had four assists as did Madden. Against Juniata, Mccue (what?) led the way with 19 points. It's the first time Mccue ever led Wilkes in scoring in his career as he chipped in 13 or 14 free-throw attempts. The former Wyoming Valley W_est stan- dout who played for Jack Mascioli with the Spartans, is among the MAC's leaders in free-throw percentage. Four other Colonels hit double-figures in the win: Tony Madden 17, Mike McCarrie 16, Kendall McNeil 13 and Kevin Walker with 12 tallies. In the latest Middle Atlantic Conference stats, Mike McCarrie is ranked fifth in scoring with a 17-4 average. Gettysburg's Bill North leads the league with a 19-7 average. Dan Frascalla of King's is tenth 06.0); Kendall McNeil 11th at 15.9. Ray Graff of Lycoming leads the MAC in rebounding with a 12.2 average per game. Scranton's Irv Johnson is second at 11.7 and Tony Madden is seventh at 8.0 with Kevin Walker eighth at 7.5 rpg. Former Pittston Area standout and Dickinson College performer Ed Ward, leads the MAC in field goal percentage with .725. Walker is tenth at .GO'l, Tony Madden 13th (.559) and McCarrie 14th (.557). Through 21 games, the Colonel's overall leading scorers are: McNeil 16.3, McCarrie 14.9 and Madden 11.1. Madden is the top rebounder with 159 followed by Walker (126) and McNeil (117) . Mccue leads the team In assists (112) and steals (49) . "We played with a lot of intensity out there,!' said Righter after the Juniata win. "That's what had been missing In the six previous games.'' Coach Righter had set the wins as bis team's goal for the 1979-80 campaign and it has been reached. Next year, Righter and ace assistant Steve Justice look for 15 wins and a possible MAC playoff bid. They should get it - if they get the necessary recruits. - McNeil went into Monday's game as Wilkes' second leading all-time scorer with 1413 points and a 16-1 career average. Len Batroney, who played from 1950-54, is the school's leading point man with 1629 tallies. Last season, Kendall scored the second highest single-season point total with 492. George Morgan hit for 512 in 1956-57 season. McNeil is a .520 career shooter and .722 from the line through four years. Junior Mike- McCarrie is moving In on the l,OOOth career point mark. Going into Monday's game, the Philly sharp-shooter had 876 points on .503 career shooting in 67 games.

He commented that he "thought it went over very well," but that ticket sales were not as high as he had hoped. He pointed out that 1250 tickets liad been sold and he noted that a little over $2000 will be returned to the SG treasury. This will put the total in the treasury at over $10,000, which is considerably more than the amount left in SG's treasury at this time last year. When the $2000 is returned to the treasury, SG will have expended a total of $2500. Blumfield does not regard this expenditure as a loss, since he believes the money was put to good use in that is has been a long time since there was a concert on campus. He further noted that about 500 Wilkes students were present at the concert and that that was a larger representation of the Wilkes population than at most concerts on campus in recent years. Senior representative Bill Keba, referred to the $2500 "lo_ss" and stated that since only 500 Wilkes students went ito the concert, the $2500 figure seems to represent a loss of $5 on the part of SG for each student who went. IDC President Mike Stapleton responded by saying that there was no limit on the number of Wilkes students who could attend the concert and more could have gone if they wanted to. He inferred that the money spent by SG was for everyone's benefit, but not everyone took advantage of it. It was noted that 40 people got in the concert for free. Blumfield explained that 40 free tickets had been given away by radio station WEZX. It was further noted that in some instances the concert received poor publicity. Circle KFund Request In other business, two fund requests were voted upon and two new fund requests were presented. Some discussion and _debate took place regarding a request by Circle K for $400. Circle K President Jeff Gavlick explained that the money would be used to help with the expenses of sending 25 Circle K members to the organization's Pennsylvania District Convention in Carlisle this spring. After much discussion, the motion was put to a vote and was defeated 9-10-3. Blumfield asked the representatives to explain why they had defeated the proposal and most explained that they had voted against it because they felt that 25 people were not needed to "go to a convention to party." A debate began primarily between Bill Keba and Mike Stapleton. Keba felt that fewer members could be sent to the convention, and Stapleton felt that it was good that so many members were interested in going and he pointed to the numerous services Circle K has provided to the campus and to the community. Representative Tim Palmer made a motion that instead of $400, SG grant Circle K $200 for the convention. Following more discussion, Palmer withdrew the motion and Stapleton moved that $390 be given to Circle K. The motion was voted upon and pased 14-7-1. When asked by Blumfield why they changed their minds, the reps replied that they realized that the club really is interested in doing good for the college and that the convention should prove valuable to them. The other fund request that was voted upon was presented by the Biology Club. They asked for $180 to send a maximum of 12 people to an intercollegiate science conference in April. The motion was passed unanimously and any unused money will be returned to SG. "Parties Unlimited" Continuing the discussion of the past several weeks regarding "Parties Unlimited," SG unanimously passed guidelines .for the new subcommittee of the social committee. The Guidelines are as follows: 1. All profit money will go into account at Parrish Hall. Name of account shall be Social Committee; 2. No withdrawals can be made without the signatures of the Student Government Treasurer, President, and Advisor; 3. A comprehensive financial report shall be given to the SG Social Committee within three business days following the Continued on Page 2 College Named Second Party In Lawsuits Filed Against-Campus Food Service Co.

According to Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management, the proposal is highly speculative right now. "It's possible, but no real decision has been made," he stated. He also : said that the Board of Trustees will make a final decision concerning -. the issue. The proposal has not been discussed with the board yet. The possibility of a new dorm is formulated in Space utilization ; Study and Planning Aid, submitted , to the college by planners and ar- · chitects Pyros and S~ndersoli, which is being condensed in the Beacon. The study suggests that a: dorm be built on West South Street or West Northampton Street. The Sunday Independent stated the dorm would be built in the present Conyngham parking lot on South River Street. Dr. Shaw stated that if a dorm were built, that parking lot probably would not even be touched. The second site the Sunday Independent includes is West South Street next to Bedford Hall. The photograph of the site is incorrectly identified as West Ross Street. Dr. Shaw stated that as far as he knows, no one at the college said many of the things included in the article. After the meeting of the Building and Grounds Planning Board meet this week, and the Board of Trustees next week, more definite statements can be made concerning the possibility of a new dormitory. on the Legionnaires Outbreak, cannot determine the one specific food item that caused the poisoning, then everyone in the food process will jointly be responsible. Mentioning no dollar amounts in any of the claims, Abate said the first case was filed in June of 1978, with the second one appearing in September of the same year. The final claim was not received by the college until January 30 of this year. Stressing that insurance is required of every food service on campus, the business manager expressed· strong beli~f that the college will not be held liable in any way. He continued \hat one of the few ways the school could be held responsible is if the lavoratory facilities were found to be unsanitary, but because cases of food _ poisoning occured in the same time period at other schools supplied by M.W. Wood, this possibility is highly unlikely. Abate once again stressed that the administration feels the college will not be held liable in any way, and continued to say that because there has been no permanent injury reported by any of the students to date, there is a good chance the suits will be handled out of court.

Though a financial loss was incurred, this campus was m need of a concert and Steve Forbert turned out to be just the right thing. Concerts in the future will not be allowed to lose as much money, but SG took a gamble and it may have broken the ice. Future concerts of this type will be successful if the campus knows what to expect. We predict and hope that the possible concert in April will prove so. Good Luck SG and thanks for a change of pace, a nice concert and the nerve to take a risk. Campus Commentary The Visual Stimulant My heart rapidly pounded inside my chest ; my moist skin felt cold and clammy; and my sunken, vacant eyes appeared widely dialated. Twenty-four hours had passed away since I quit the 'junk,' but I had began to suffer painful withdrawal symptoms. A day later, my symptoms multiplied. My head ached from anxiety and I had trouble sleeping. l desparately craved for a 'fix,' 'shot,' or 'puff' of my lifelong addiction. I pleaded with my parents for a couple hours of happiness bu~ t~ey were deti!rmined to get me off the 'stuff' for good. I begged for an mJection of "One Life To Live," a single snort of "Different Strokes," or a solitary sniff of "Saturday Night Live." Equally habit-forming as heroin or morphine, my withdrawal was from the boob tube. Over a two week period, I quit watching television cold turkey. I reached a point in life where television became my Lord & Master. I found myself watching T. V. at any time of the day or night. I no longer selected programs but viewed anything on the screen. T_.Y . even began regulating my social life. I would make excuses to my fnends as to why I didn't want to go out; the real reason being that I wanted to watch T.V. I started watching popular shows, regardless of whether I enjoyed them or not so I wouldn't feel left out when they were discussed the next day. T.V. became more important than studying for tests, working my job, or doing my chores. I was helpless under its glowing, oppressive power. Once I turned it on it would remain ori until all the stations were off the air. Many times, I found it hard to stay in school, after a late night lineup of Kojak and Johnny Carson. Unfortunately, the intoxicated individuals .addicted to television far surpass the numbers dependent on chemical highs. Wilson Bryan Key, author of Subliminal Seduction and Media Sexploition, claims "it is estimated that an average North American child spends about 11,000 hours in classrooms through grammar, junior high, and senior high schools. During the same period, however, the child will receive ove_r 25 000 hours of 't...V. loaded with subliminal sell techniques." the add1ti~n of 'H.B.O.,' videotape machines, and cable television provide an unlimited capacity for increasing viewing hours. The lack of educational programs indicate that more people are turning on but not tuning in. Mr. Keys states that "North America is a visually oriented culture.'' Thus, T.V. has become the modem day, . miracle cure, aspir~n-like, panacea. It requires little more conscious thought than changmg the channels. Every show is our private "Love Boat" journey to "Fanta~y Island.'' For a culture that 'sees the news asit happens,' we are surprisingly ignorant of the outside world. . . Certainly, sueh docudramas as Roots and Holocau~t, enhghte~ed many to history's horrors. The medium has great potential for rea~h1~g and teaching millions of individuals. However, the real danger hes m what we pretend not to understand. Wilheim Reich <Listen ~ittle Man) asks if "You want to know, Little Man, how you are?

Good night, Walter. · David Clanton 'Spoof'. Column Draws Attention From Kovacs To the Editor: The irresponsible joumalim in part of last week's Beacon is certainly an educational insight into the most widely read publication on campus. I refer specifically to the column "This Is No Spoof" appearing February 21, 1980 in The Beacon. Understandably the paper cannot assume responsibility for the individual writers. A student publication must be flexible to meet the changing needs of students. It is to their credit that The Beacon provides a separate forum for responsible commentary in the form of editorials. However, I question the journalistic value of one who abuses the responsibility of a supposedly informative column by expressing personal unqualified accusations. Purely incidentally, I take offense to the Great Spirit's accusation that "because other people are not working up to par that have to try to make her look bad ! ! !" While I speak only for myself, I could not consider this to be an example of responsible journalism. An information gossip column such as "This Is No Spoof" is undoubtedly an inappropriate place for un- found slurs. Just as I attest to this editorial by subscribing my name and addressing it to the editor, I equally expect everyone to present his or her opinion as just that, and not under the security of anonymity or under the pretense of providing only information. James E. Kovacs "Bangor" Editor's Note: The above letter's comments are directed towards the following paragraph that appeared in last week's "This Is No Spoof" column. "The Great Spirit thinks this petty letter writing that's going on is absolutely DUMB!!! Leave Colleen alone!!! She's doing a great job and just because other people are not working up to par they have to try to make her look bad!!! Well, this is a warning 7 there's no . way to make her look bad!!!

"They were much better than I expected." These replies came from students who attended the Steve Forbert concert this past Sunday in the Wilkes Gym. The concert started on a strong 'note' when the crowd chanted for an encore of the warm-up group. While many warm-up groups are rejected and pushed off the stage, this duet was called back. Although they didn't return, the crowd still applauded. The highlighted musician "Ricky" got special attention after his solo with his electric violin. Then Steve Forbert and company invaded the stage and a warm reception was given by the crowd which whistled, applauded and even howled. Forbert with his 'boyish' face, not only...has an excellent voice, but also a good show. Many people I spoke to felt the acoustics part of the show w.as the best, but this writer thinks the show was better when all the musicians were playing. In his acoustic solos, Forbert played several selections with harmonica, guitar and both, but didn't use the electrics. When the other members came back on stage, the show went on. The set had someone for everyone, so to speak. On the guitar, a long-haired -guy about 17 years old; on the table base, a monster mash type fellow; on piano, organ and accordian, an Italian from the Bronx ; on drums. ~· -► . . -~aggie Says- ~► "] What,s Happening ::::::,e»-c:==----==::::::,-c1►ic:::=~-11ot-c:==--:•-:==-ut-ic:::=::)C-X:::=::::::,nc:::tl his famous "Romeo's Tune," but it seemed like the audience was intrigued more by other selections he played.

Out of the survey group which consisted mainly of students, 69 percent commuter and 31 percent resident, Stark Hall is listed as the most frequented building on campus, with the Dining Commons, Parrish Hall, Darte Hall, Pickering Dining Hall and Farley Library following. With 55 percent of the students surveyed naming the car as the best means of transportation, many commuters stressed the need for added parking facilities. Other desired facilities included outdoor athletic space, indoor recreation, indoor athletic space, outdoor recreational space, and privatepersonal space. · "The most important data recorded by the needs surveys documented user patterns - particularly pedestrian paths, frequented buildings; and core open space." The summary of this section confirms that "maintenance and environmental controls . . . remain the significant user needs not presently met" by the college. In the second topic of discussion, concerning commitments of space, Wilkes is compared to other Pennsylvania colleges, which were selected on criteria such as the type of Institution, environment, degree offering and size. This section states that if the 79,588 gross feet of unused basement and restricted space is deleted from the measurement, then Wilkes utilization rate would be 63.9 percent, considerably in line with the state average of 69 I ~_&.-_-...~...... percent. Because there are 2.26 commuter students for every dorm student on campus, when compared to other schools, Wilkes is referred to as a 'commuter school.' Even with this title, "Wilkes did not commit as high a proportion of space for instructional purposes as other commuter schools, and does not commit a commemsurate proportion to Student Services." The report · also points out that residential uses occupy the least space while laboratory uses have the highest prooportion of utilization. A summary of the space commitment section makes five important statements including a low overall utilization factor, a minimal availability of dormitory space· , more general classroom area needed, and an apparent lack .of students service buildings such as athletic facitlities and recreatiollal areas. The developing norms section .of the Appendix several assumptions were made by the planners during the course of their work. Some of their assumptions a~ut the school include: there are too many buildings to account of, parking remains a significant problem, the college faces uncertain enrollments, computerization .pf bUUding-us~ data is possible and desirable, and dormitory beds have increased substantially while enrollments stabilized. The fourth and final division of the Appendix deals with_the college setting its own patterns or trends. Taking into account rooom by room space inventory, station by room inventory, student hours per week, departmental requirements for labs, and other scheduling data, the school has a 51 percent utilization for class rooms and a 34.1 percent utilization for labs, both of wbieh Comparison: Statewide Private Colleges (Residential Not Included) Net Assigned Area Per Full Time Equivalent Pa.

Discussing the recovery of in. structional space, the college could recover that if a goal of 67 percent utilization is used, the college could recover 23,998 sq. ft. of unused space. The study goes on to say that it 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. classes were scheduled regularly, roughly 9,200 net assigned square feet could be obtained for added use .. Reviewing the use· of the oflice space on campus, the planning aid mentions that although office space utilization is not a major problem, opportunities do exist for the reassignment of large offices· to smaller rooms. It added that there is a general need to reduce the overall buildi~ stock, and that in two· instances, the Library and Weckesser Annex, use patterns result in crowded offices. The report found the athletic facilities on campus to be minimal. With an 11,000 net assigned square feet required for physical education, the school's present facility measuring 13,580 appears to be adequate. But · because of intercollegiate athletic programs which place an added strain on the facility's space, the study shows that more space is needed, with the present gym being used at a rate of 17 hours a day, 7 days a week. Another interesting point this section of the Appendix dealt with is· the amount of lounge space on campus. The subdivision listed some ninety-eight\ distributed ' among thirty-three campus buildings, with their use described as informal and non-scheduled.

Peter Steve �February ZS, 1980, T~e Beacon, Page 9 ~GrapplerslnEasterns This Weekend The 1979-80 Wilkes College wrestling team set a new school record of 18 dual meet victories in a row with a 24-19 decision over Old Dominion University, 23-16 triumph over Virginia Tech and forfeit over University of Richmond Saturday in a quadrangular meet at Blacksburg, Va. With Rick Smith and Bob Matzelle on the injured list. Coach John Reese was forced to do some juggling and put Pete Creamer in at 177, who won a bout and dropped one. Bart Cook then wrestled up at 190 and unlimited and answered with two triumphs. Cook was bumped up to heavyweight and won the Iflatch for the Blue and Gold as the score was tied 19-19 after 190. Cook also defeated highly-touted Mark Miller of VT in the 190 pound fray. Colonels stellar 13~ pounder Bryan Billig met stiff competition in ODU's outstanding Souther champ Buddy Lee. Bryan was the victim of the opening takedown ·but fought back to take 3-2 elad after two periods. Lee escaped and registered a takedown in the last period to clinch the 5-3 decision. Billig copped a 2-0 decision on a near-fall against his Virginia opponent and won on forfeit to finish the year with an 18-3 slate, tying the school record for most dual wins in a season. Double-winners for the Colonels included Lenny Nelson, Mark Densberger, and Bart Cook. Nelson copped two falls in the quad, showing ODU's Bob Rome the lights in 3:55 and decking VT'S T. Chamberlain in less than a minute. Densberger fashioned a fall against -his ODU opponent and a superior decision against Tech. Cook· collected a 9-7 decision over highlytouted Mark Miller, Tech and a superior over Mark Caider of Old Dominion. Hopefully the long and suffessful dual meet sea~n will help our Colonels in this week's "Big Event". The quadrangular meet was an excellent preparation since the rnatmen were able to wrestle two bouts in one day. In the Eastern's, the grapplers are expected to wrestie two or three matches in one day. Wilkes will be out to retain its own top-place finish in the 76th annual Eastern Collegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) tournament which unfolds Friday and coneludes Saturday_evening at Lehigh University's Stabler Athletic Complex. Last year the Colonels surprised many of their EIWA opponents and copped second place laurels behind champion Lehigh University.

However, why should one great wrestler with a lot of class like Darryl Burley move away from "Mr. Everything" Randy Lewis? He's beatable! They should both be in the NCAA finals at 134. If Burley goes 142 it's all his and Billig should claim the 134 pound title.

Bryan Billig enjoyed a fine dual meet season and should be considered a top-notch competitor for All-American honors. The junior from New Tripoli shows an 18-3 log, including lO wins and leads the squad In team points with 93. Billig tied the school record for the most dual victories in a dual season and also tied the record for most pins. The win record is shared with teammate Densberger, while the pin mark was set by Al Zellner. Sophomore transfer Steve DeGiso, Brockton, MA. owned the 142 slot during the early part of the season and yearling Lenny Nelson, Richland, N.J. stepped in after six duals. DeGiso finished at the 4-3 mark while the rookie posted a record of 8-2-3. Nelson will represent the Blue and Gold in the Eastern tournament. An!)ther outstanding freshman, Mark Troutman, Toms River, N.J. wrestled to a well-respected record this season and will compete in the 150 category at Lehigh. Trout wresUed last weekend, despite being ill and saw his dual slate fall to 12-f Prior to the quadrangular meet, Trout had won -seven matches in a row. Sophomore George Cherrie, Fleetwood, saw limited action at 150 and 158 and garnered two wins. Senior CO-!!aptain Mark Densberger, Danville will try to win his second EIWA title in the 158 spot. Mark has been bothered by an knee injury all season, but appeared in top form last weekend and will take a 13-3 slate into the contest. Mark fashioned six falls to rank second on the team, behind and will vie for a top place-finish this annum at Eastern's. Dan was the only unbeaten after the first five meets and has a lot of talent. Also fllling in at 167 was first-year grappler Rich Sampson, Westfield, N.J. who won three and lost one in varsity competition. Another frosh, Pete Creamer, Bellmore, N.Y. wrestled at 167 and 177, for the Reesemen and boasts a fine 6-4 slate against tough adversaries. Senior co-captain Bart Cook, Neptune, N.J. placed third in the Eastern's twice and is expected to reach the finals this winter. Bart will probably get the number 2 seed on the basis of his previous success and 13-2 mark. Cook nailed down 64 team points this past season, including five falls. The 190 slot was suppoorted by Junior Rich Smith, Walden, Vt. who registered a 13-3-2 record. Smith gained three pins and compiled 68 tallies for the Wilkesmen. Big Bob Matzelle, . Lindenhurst, N.Y. has placed third and fourth in the EIWA's and could better those positions this weekend. Bob produced a 12-3 mark, with two pins and 46 team points.

The Colonels ended the 1979-80 campaign with a 10-13, 10-12, 10-12-1 or whatever record. Really, the Blue and Gold finished the year at 10-13, bufthe team itself and coaches Ron Righter and Steve Justice feel the Scranton-Wilkes ' brawl game should not count - therefore the record would be 10-12. Either way, the C~lonels finished just below .500, which isn't bad considering we won nine games last year and five the previous season. What was a "downer" for Wilkes was ending the Middle Atlantic Conference season with a 6-7 slate (good for third place behind Scranton and King's) after starting 3-0 in the MAC. • Before the season started, Righter and Justice had three goals - win ten games, beat King's, and get into the MAC playoffs. Well, as the song goes, "two out of three ain't bad." They won ten games, but could have won a few more, did beat King's in two super games, and blew their chance at the playoffs. Anyway, a report on ,ast week's final game of the year: Division II Bloomsburg State College traveled to Wilkes for the final game. The Colonels played well in the early going - holding a seven-point lead midway through the period, but as has been the case in Colonel games lately - the Blue and Gold folded, eventually getting hammered 7!J-67.

February 28, 1980, The Beacon, Page 11 · Butclaka.,itz, Bello & Maguire Earn Honors --:-------------------------------- Sa, im Team WinsSeven .MedalsAtMAC's Peggy Butchkavitz, Reed Bello, and Michelle Maguire all won medals at the MAC Swimming and Diving championships held at Ursinus College this past weekend. As a team it was the best performance for Wilkes in re- · cent years. . Winning the first medal for Wilkes, Reed Bello captured a third place finish in the 1-meter diving event with a score of 345.45. He finished ahead of other Wilkes divers Perry Lichtinger and Frank Gardner, who ended up tenth and fourteenth respectively. Bello hit his dives well and didn't break under the pressure during the 11 rounds of diving. It should be remembered that .Bello is only a freshman and has three exciting years of competition ahead of him . Bob Lewis.. should also be noted for his fine work as diving coach. It was the first year Wilkes has ever had a diving coach of their own and it certainly made a difference. His presence next year with the team will continue to be an important factor. Michelle Maguire was the first Wilkes swimmer to earn a medal at the championships. She ended up with three, all sixth place Tinishes. Her first event was the 200 yard Individual Medley which she did in 2:26.6. The 100 yard butterfly was next. In the trials she finished tied for sixth and it was necessary to have a swim-off to see who would qualify · for the finals. It was a close race but Michelle went on to win and did a time of 1:05.5. Her third came in the 200 yard butterfly with a time of 2:25.9. In IN TRAM URALS FINAL STANDINGS "A" Division Chumlies Benton Boys CAOS Crazy Horse PrepH A.O.A.

Maguire was the ony person on the team to win any medals at the championships last year. Swimming the best over everyone op the team, Peggy Butchkavitz won three medals with her best showing in the 200 yard breaststroke. She finished second with a time of 2:42.1 which is one second off from qualifying for nationals. Since Butchkavitz is so close to qualifying she has decided to continue to swim for a "mini-meet" to be held in the near future set up for the sole purpose of those who are close to qualifying for nationals and need to get theoffical time . "I think she has an excellent chance of making a nationals, '' said coach Bob Greenwald who is very proud of Peggy's swimming at MAC'S. Nationals will be held in Meadville, Pa. the weekend of March 13-15. Her other two medals came in the 100 yard breaststroke in which she earned a fourth and fifty yard freestyle fiqishing fifth. Overall, the Wilkes swim team brought home seven medals. Last year Maguire brought home the only three medals f~r Wilkes while the year before diver Cindy Glawe earned the only medal for the team, a gold. Sea•on Summary Looking over the entire season, one comment comes to mind-What an improvement!· Last year the season ended dismally with a team record of 0-11. With expertise of first year coach Bob Greenwald and the addition of freshmen team members, Bello; Butchkavitz and Dave Gergen this year ended on a bright note. Greenwald's dedication and leadership was the driving factor behind this. The season record ended at 4-7-1.

Chisarick, made the announcement for President Robert S. Capin who was out of town seeking additional funds for the college. He stated that the 15.4 percent increase in tuition will mean a cost of $3750 for full time students. Also, room and board will be $1900 - an 11.8 percent increase. According to President Capin, part-time and graduate tuition will also be affected by the increases. Part-time students will pay $82 per credit hour and graduate students will note an increase from $95 to $110 per credit hour. Chisarick noted that the college's budget of $14.5 million for the 198081 year has been approved by the president's council and the Board of . Trustees. It is the largest budget ever prepared at this college and it has an increase of $2.4 million over last year's. Chisarick pointed out that the faculty asked for a 16 percent salary increase, but they will be receiving a 12 percent increase instead. In addition, several capital projects were eliminated and no funds have been designated for construction of any new buildings. If the projects were not eliminated, an increase of an additional $500 in tuition and fees would have been necessitated. Wilkes will continue to be the highest priced college in Northeastern Pennsylvania with this overall increase of 14.4 percent in tuition and room and board. Chisarick commented that most of the other private, four-year, coeducational colleges in Northeastern Pennsylvania also will be making 12 to 15 percent tuition increases. On a st,te and national basis, Wilkes ranks near the middle on a scale of least expensive to most expensive colleges. Chisarick explained that federal , state, and Wilkes Financial aid will probably increase substantially in accordance with the tuition raises. He stated that $1.3 million in financial aid was received by Wilkes students during the past year. Earlier this week, The Beacon reached President Capin for his comments. Capin said that the decision to raise the tuition came "only after very serious consideration and review to the entire budget of the Institution.'' Capin added that a personal letter is being sent to the . parents of all the students indicating the increases and explaining the reasons for the raises. In his letter, Capin stated that the increases can be attributed to "the financial pressures faced by all institutions of higher learning as a result of continued inflation and rising costs of operation." Capin pointed out that even with the increases Wilkes will still be charging less than many institu- tions of our size and quality in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Capin stated that he urges all students to explore all the sources of financial aid in order to help offset the increased tuition. Louis Czachor Class Officer Elections•.• ········~~.~ ...

The Juniors main argument was that with a cash bar, the over-all expense of the night would increase greatly, while the Seniors primarily questioned the quality of drinks at an open bar and stressed a strong desire for the prime rib dinner.

Stapleton also reported that the Executive Council discussed the casual, more mature relationships exist. Co-ed housing socially acclimates students to encounters in real life. Increasing awareness in attitudes also occurs in co-ed dorms with men and women more equally discussing traditionally masculine and feminine concerns. Other advantages to co-ed housing include, improvement of communication skills and a greater understanding of the opposite sex, which increases community feeling. Studies have found "that co-ed housing has reduced vandalism and damage significantly." Co-ed housing has increased participation in cultural and educational programming, and decreased security problems.

Some changes were made in the existing constitution, but the most important change was the addition of · specific guidelines for IDC's committees: Food, Maintenance, Parking and Social. The revised con. stitution will be presented to the entire Council at the next meeting. A report on the St Patrick's Day Party held March 14 in the Hotel Sterling was given. Stapleton stated that the party was a success. He commented that, although they ran out of beer and wine, no one seemed to complain. Stapleton reminded IDC reps of the Pajama Party planned for later in the semester, and announced that it would be held either April 11 or 12 in the Student Center. Social Committee Chairman Bill Miller reported that a blue grass block party is planned for the weekend of the Cherry Blossom Festival. The Back Mountain String Band will play at the party, and admission will probably be free. ed housing positively affected admissions; alumni support was unaffected by the initiation of co-ed housing. The report also stated that all deans of students would reinstate co-ed living arrangements "if the decision were to be made again." The majority of chaplain's office respondents "felt that there had been no increase in counseling." However, 82 percent of the counselors agreed that "co-ed housing had provided a beneficial effect in the overall climate of their campuses." The health services personnel pointed out that there had been "no increase in psychological or emotional problems." Nor had there been an increase in drug or alcohol abuse, pregnancies or venereal disease. The sub-committee's report stated that they did not "feel that co-ed housing should replace all single-sex halls on the Wilkes campus," however, they recognize "the individual needs of the students, · and the lack of available alternative lifestyes." Thus, they advocate the institution of co-ed housing as "a step toward meeting those needs." IDC President Mike Stapleton remarked that the institution of coed housing would be "beneficial to the campus and an asset to student life at Wilkes." The Co-Ed Housing Report was accepted at Student Affairs Council, and Housing Director Paul Adams noted that the most important element was that the council "approved the concept of co-ed housing." 1 : : : : : I I I 1 j : ,11-i ~JYOJ?l" ~ .

Though students · who graduate with honors will have that distinction on their diploma, which is a first, the diploma will simply state whether a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science was awarded. This decision was made by Mrs. Doris Barker, Registrar, and approved by Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academics. Because students are now double and triple majoring more often these days, the Registrar's Office feels the diploma does not look attractive listing all the majors. It is possible that a · student may have pr-inted on his diploma: Major in English-Communications, Psychology and Community Service. In addition, students are now allowed to receive a B.A. in Sociology and a B.S. in Biology simultaneou~ly. The diploma will only state Bachelor of Arts and read: Major in Sociology and Biology (B.S. program ). . We see their po1nt and appreciate their concern. The response from the Senior class, however, indicates they prefer otherwise. It is a distinction that is important only to the person who receives it and that is all that should matter. The Class of 1980 has our support. If a diploma is worth roughly $16,000, 4 years of hard work and the key that opens the door to the future, then it should read what they want it to read.

Malcolm Bowes Steven Goldflam· To the Editor: As a student and a citizen, I was disgusted and disturbed by the pitifully poor turnout for the forum on Nuclear Power that was sponsored by our group, the Susquehanna Environmental Advocates, held last Tuesday, March 11, at the Stark Learning Center. The students in Academia today will be tomorrows' social planners - we have all heard this time and time again. I am also reminded consistently that " the people just don't care" and that Apathy is the rule of the day. Well, at this very moment, all of us are shaping our future, and the future of our children, by shrugging our shoulders and leaving the decisionmaking up to politicians soley concerned with re-election, and executives solely concerned with their profit margins. And our world goes to hell. The Berwick nuclear plant, 20 miles upwind from our community, poses an immediate and LONGTERM threat to the Wyoming Valley, in the way of steadily increasing radiation and steadily increasing electricity bills. And it doesn't have to be this way. It would be worth our while ( and our children's) to get involved, and not shrug our shoulders and give in to "the System" so damned easily.

Under the leadership of Colleen Gries, the class of 1981 has experienced one of our most active years. There is no need to further explain what our activities consisted of because none were failures and everyone concerned kno.ws about what the Junior Class has accomplished. Granted, Colleen Gries is "no saint" but she is by far one of the hardest working presidents this campus has ever seen. The class has set an active pace on campus and we would not like to see our senior year suffer. It is very important to~p continuity and also enthusiasm in trying new activities. It is our hope that every Junior on campus will get out to vote today and vote for the qualified candidate, Colleen Gries, who will keep the class active and help make a successful year.

Every time I walk in to take a shower or use the bathroom my nose has to be plugged. It smells worse than some public rest rooms. The smell is accompanied by bugs, mold and mildew, not to mention the bathtub in there. Why isn't there any hooks and soap dishes in the showers? Why isn't there any stoppers in the sink? The toilet stalls are about ready to fall down, and there's enough graffiti on the walls that would take all day to read. Some of the discrepancies are caused by immature students, but why aren't they corrected. Each student in a dorm hs to pay a 50 dollar dorm damage deposit. Not one bit of improvement has been · made over the spring break. Paul Adams is in charge of housing, so · why didn't he have these discrepancies corrected.

Stratton Assistant Dean of Admissions ---------- Campus Commentary-. A Full Service Bank Scientists dispute whether selection breeding can boost human intelligence - and they also disagree about what sort of moral issues may be raised by a sperm bank for Nobel Prize winners. The sperm bank, called the Repository for Germinal Choice, is being set up by an Escondido, Cal., business tycoon - in his backyard - to produce exceptionally bright children. Already, five Nobel laureates reportedly have contributed, many more have been solicited, and t~ree women described as having "exceptionally high IQ's" hav~ been impregnated. They are given a choice of sperms. Nobel Prize winner Ben Mottleson asserts "it's all a bunch of nonsense." "The idea of intelligence isn't that simple".he says. "This is a primitive approach. There is..-eonsiderable arrogance involved in thinking we should populate the world with images of ourselves." The Nobel laureate declined to comment oil the concept of forgoing all other considerations _to pass intelligence onto future generations; that is, he wouldn't say if he and other Nobel Prize winners have congentially smelly feet or the heartbreak of psoriasis. These are the sticky moral questions we will encounter in genetic engineering. There are said to be a number of sperm banks already operating, and judging from the number of inquiries pouring in, this one is going to be quite successful. It appears that there is big money to be made in the sperm banking business. Its success will undoubtedly foster competition. At first the sperm banking industry will be staid and dignified. But as more of the banks crop up - "Why Have Just An Average Child?" - they will be forced to try and woo customers from competing institutions. · The 1st National Sperm Bank of Wilkes-Barre will offer a complete line of all your favorite Nobel laureate sperms, including : medicine, physics, economics, literature, peace and lemon-lime. Continental Sperm Bank will decide to offer premiums: black satin sheets, Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" albums and subscriptions to Playboy. The Southern Sperm Trust will counter with "Pro-Longed Hours," a walkup window for daily deposits, a window fot, nocturnal emissions and "No Penalty for Early Withdrawal." Someone will open 1st Federal Sperm Savings & Loan, but it is doubtful sperm borrowing will catch on with a large segment of the population. But why just banks and Nobel winners? Indeed the philosophy behind the new California bank calls for donations from "famous and exceptional people" as well. Sperm department stores and specialty shops will be open in suburban malls, featuring sperm of the National Football League, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and Phi Beta Kappa. Diver-sity is the spice of life. For the exotic we include sperm from Tibetan Monks, eskimos, aborigines, pygmies, and mongoloids. Women, imagine the status of telling your friends and family that you are actually having Paul Anka's baby. Personally, I've always wanted to "father" my own family singing group, the Clantones. If you can afford exceptional children, there will be exclusive shops carrying an expensive line of Bjorn Borg, Bart Cook, Julius _Erving, Luciano Pavarotti, Kendall McNeil, Paul Newman, Mick"Jagger, William F. Buckley and an "Exciting New Shipment: Eric Heiden and the of- . ficial sperm of the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team!" Olympians will be the best science can create. : But everyone cannot. So suburban K-Marts will carry the likes of Don Rickles, Cubs utility infielder Paul Popovich, Allen Ludden, the K-Tel singers, Elvis impersonators, and people smart enough to pass their driver's test the first time. Then generic sperm and two-for-the-priceof-one package deals. Franchise sperm outlets will sprout up like weeds along surburban thoroughfares: Alfred Nobel's Sperm City, Sperm World, Sperm Barn (over 20 million served), House of Sperm (have it your way), Birds 'n Bees. Baskin-Robbins sytle franchises will be among thelJl, featuring the mutation of the month - for March? Kareem Abdul ICissinger. At the Sperm Hut the basic tliin crust impregnation will be $5 plus $1 for each additional ingredient: cheerful, thrifty, obedient, fun-to-be-with. G.M. (Germinal Mayhem) offers a special limited edition of their freak of the week. Like original prints the volume could be limited. If we include the sperm of racists William Shockely and Arthur Jensen, pardon me H I suggest the sperm of other infamous figures such as Richard Nixon, Adolf Hitler, and Ian Smith also be implanted. The whole concept is sexist in nature - talented women need not contribute. Were this just another short-lived southern California aberration, it might be a placebo pill easy to swallow. But the first manmade geniuses, products of the Nobel sperm bank, will be rolling off the assembly line in a few months. · Scientists have refrained from making withdrawals from sperm banks and ovum banks, adding three cans of water, and stirring up huge batches of babies. 'When they do, what will they make? Super intellects and.athletes? Slaves? What will we think of kids when we can buy them to match our walls? What will they think of us and what will ·they think of themselves? How will we ever make a decision of such magnitude and importance, a decision to create such a "brave new world?" In · America, businessmen in places like Escondido, Cal., will ·ask themselves if there's a buck in it.

It is found in the dramatic literature of no other country. In its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century, this type of melodrama, such as "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room," was taken quite seriously by audiences who · hissed the villain, cheered the hero and sympathized audibly with the · heroine as they entered into the spirit of the age-old struggle bet- ween good and evil. Today's audience tends to see the fun and foolishness in a style of theater which seems somewhat incongruous in its black and white interpretation of human nature and . human behavior. So while the ''.moral" is always there, audiences respond with good-humored ridicule at the outlandish goings-on. With audience participation setting the tone for the entertainment there is probably no form of amusement more satisfying to the general audience. "Jenny" is a modern version of the old melodrama, a type represented .by "The Drunkard," first written for a small cast, but produced by P .T. Barnum in 1842 with a cast of 1500. Greetings Everyone! The Great Spirit has returned from my much enjoyed spring vacation. It was a thoroughly relaxing week (except for the term papers, reading, studying, etc.) as was, I'm sure the same for most all of you. I have but one complaint, echoed by everyone else too - TOO SHORT! ! ! It's quite evident who went to Florida by those tans. For those of you who went and are not tanned - what happened??? Too many indoor activities going on, huh! ! ! I'm sure those activities didn't consist of Monopoly! ! ! Everyone should be back in the swing of things now! ! ! How many people have been caught doing that last minute typing for your term papers??? Some are still trying to convince profs on this wild topics including "The History of Bubblegum: A Sticky Situation." A bit wild ' even for most profs here. Green was the color of the evening last Friday night when the annual St. Patrick's party was held at the "Hotel Sterling." Almost everyone was there! ! ! The Great Spirit sure was and would like to know what two females were doing in a dark elevator with a hot (??? l campus guy??? Come on girls, tell us what really happened! ! ! I saw a lot of classy green outfits that night, and some not so classy. One of the highlights of the evening was the Colonels rendition of " When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" which was . . . ahem ... well ... the spirit passes comment. Nice try but definite_ly not an award winning pr~sentation. . �7 . March 20, 1980, The Beacon, Page 7 Student LoaD Revisions Cause Some Prot8St; COPUS To Orga~izeA W~ite-lnCaDip~ifln Revision of loan programs which would have a serious effect on college students is being proposed by the Carter Administration. This · proposal calls for the establishment of a federal bureaucracy, higher interest rates on student loans and a decrease in the amount of time allowed as a grace period before repayment of the loan. According to J oe Knox, student representative of the Wilkes College chapter of the Coalition of Independent College and University Students (COPUS ), the Carter Administration has indicated that it will veto any legislation concerning loan programs and higher education, unless such legislation includes the Administration's program. This loan proposal will affect undergraduate amT graduate students who rely on the current low .interest rate loans to help finance their college education. Current loan programs include the National Direct Student Loan (N.D.S.L. ) which has an interest rate of 3 persent. This program was designed to especially assist students with great financial need. Another current program is the Guaranteed Student Loan, with a 7 percent interest rate. Repayment of these loans does not have to start until nine months after graduation or after leaving school. The Carter Administration proposal, however, creates some changes. The N.D .S.L. program will merge with the Guaranteed Student Loan program to form one national program for student loans. The interest rate for this loan would be the current Treasury rate minus 1 percent (currently about 13 per- cent) or 7 percent, whichever is less. Thus, the N.D.S.L. will be phased out. To manage this new program, a federal bureaucracy in Washington would be created. Also .\!_Ilder the new proposal, student-parent loans would have an interest rate of the current Treasury rate plus 1 percent - a rate of 15 percent. The proposal also calls for the immediate accrual of interest and repayment of the loan. Thus, the nine month grace period currently allowed, will be eliminated. This new proposal drastically increases the cost of loan repayment for many students. According to a legislative alert distributed by COPUS, the "loan proposal would not only reduce accessibility ; but it would also be directly responsible for . placi!}_1t a greater financial ~~~ , ~~ Bloomsburg State · College . .

To prevent this proposal from being passed, COPUS has organized a massive letter writing campaign to President Carter to express the students' concern about this legisla. tion. Approximately five thousand letter have been sent in from New . York, and it is hoped that Students Florida Trip Considered Nice Break From School What? Julius Caesar in Florida? Well, not exactly. Those who came, saw, sun-tanned and generally had fun were none other than the Wilkes College group which went there over the Spring break. The trip was organized, coordinated and publicized by Joe Galli, a Wilkes junior student, with the aid of Wainwright Travel Company which helps in organizing such trips for colleges. According to Mr. Galli, 76 students, 35 percent of whom were dorm residents, went to Florida at the cost fo about $300.00 per student. This money went towards the round trip air fare, car rentals and hotel fees. One of the students who went was senior Doreen Swaitek. According to her, the beginings of the trip were marred by a 45 minute flight delay in Philadelphia and a flight through bad weather caused by 2 tornadoes which struck Florida on Saturday, Feb. 1st. When the flight landed in Florida the students were greeted by cold and windy weather . which lingered for two days. Their vacation spirit was undampened though, and many made up for the weather by . visiting Disneyland, Miami and last but not least the numerous bars there. Among the highlights of the trip were a two · hour cruise, lunch and music on a paddleboat, visiting a major baseball team training camp, 'ladies' night at Pip's bar, sailing, meeting other students most of whom were from Michigan and, of course, visiting the bars .

The sudden fair weather was greeted too enthusiastically by some resulting in a few cases of sun poisoning. When .the time to leave came, it brought sadness to many. While a few felt the trip was "not worth it", the majority felt it was good. "It was a good break from school and a good change from the Wilkes-Barre weather", said Miss Swaitek. When asked about student participation she said "I'd like to see more dorm students going next time. It was super and I'm glad I went. It was worth it." The idea o_f the trip began according to Joe Galli, in September last year. "I started working on it soon after that. It was really hard work and it took up a lot of my time. " Obviously his time was well spent and rewarded with a smooth trip. Asked about the possibility of another trip next year Galli said "I think we should have another trip along the same lines next year."

Rozelle,,Dean of Health Sciences, over 150 of Wilkes students have been placed in professional schools specializing in health related fields i the last three years. Rozelle noted that the 150 figure represents only those students that the Health Sciences Office know about. There . are also other students who are admitted to professional schools. Also, the 150 figure suggests that approximately ten percent of the students in each class enter graduate schools for training in the health sciences. The following breakdown for 1977, 1978, and 1979 represents a partial listing of admissions to professional schools. In 1977, 23 students entered Hahnemann Medical College through the Wilkes-Hahnemann Program and nine more were admitted to medical schools through regular admissions. Also, five students entered schools of osteopathic medicine, six students matriculated to schools of podiatric medicine, two students were placed in optometry schools and three students entered dental schools. In addition, five students were admitted to pharmacy college. In 1978, 18 students proceeded to Hahnemann Medical Coll~e through the Hahnemann Program and through regular admission, five more students entered medical colleges. Pharmacy schools admitted five students and two more were placed in colleges of osteopathic medicine, six students went on to schools of podiatric medicine, dental schools admitted three students and optometry schools admitted two. In 1979, 25 students entered medical school, 20 of them through the Wilkes-Hahnemann Program. Six students were placed in schools of osteopathic medicine, and four students were admitted to optometry schools. Schools of podiatric medicine took in five students, four students matriculated to dental schools and five more were placed in pharmacy schools. Rozelle explained that of the students admitted to these schools during the past three years, only two have dropped out, and they had been students in the Hahnemann Program. Rozelle commented that before 1974, when the first WilkesHahnemann class entered Hahnemann Medical College, there had been a maximum of between 10 and 15 students admitted to professional schools annually. In the years since 1974 several programs in other health fields have been initiated: a program in podiatric medicine was started in 1976 in cooperation with The Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. A program in optometry with Pennsylvania College of Optometry began in 1977. And, in 1979, a program in cooperation with Temple University's School of Pharmacy was begun. These programs, along with proposed programs in dental medicine and other areas, will assure Wilkes of over "50 captured seats ( in professional schools) aside form regular admission each year," stated Rozelle. "As many students from Wilkes go into podiatric medicine," he continued, "as from any other school in the country." He pointed out that many of the larger colleges do not have as many different programs in the health sciences as Wilkes does. These colleges just try to "push" students into medical schools. Rozelle related that th.e college has "absolutely superior preprofessional advising," and it tries to give students a wide variety of choices. Students are often sent to observe practitioners in the area and as a result can be sold on a profession in a certain health area. Rozelle mentioned fhe admissions tests for the professional schools and suggested that "our students do quite well" on the tests. Students hoping to get into schools of medicine, osteopathic medicine, or podiatric medicine take the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). Last fall 17 students took the MCAT and 50 more will take it this spring. Rozelle quickly pointed out that no conclusions can be drawn from those figures because some people take the test twice. Also, several prospective dental students take the Dental College Admissions Test (DAT) each year and prospective optometry students take the Optometry College Admissions Test (OCAT>. Students taking any of these tests can receive help from the college or through the Kaplan courses, and many students take advantage of these services. Rozelle give credit to several of the campus psychologists, Mr. Kanner, Dr. Bellucci, Dr. Blumenthal, and Dr. Charnetski, for helping students to improve their test taking ability.

Those requirements for admission. These requirements usually state that a student should have at least a 3.0 .cumulative average, a 3.0 average in all science and math courses, and in the case of medical schools, a grade abo~~ !!le !iftieth r·. ..· · · percentile on the MCAT. In addition, course requirements usually include several credits in chemistry, physics, biology, and math. Rozelle commented that many times if a student cannot get into one professional school, the college will help them get into another one.

Wilkes 134 pounder Bryan Billig of New Tripoli won his second consecutive EIWA runnerup trophy to advance to the nationals. Billig wrestled NCAA champion and runner-up title holder Darryl Burley of Lehigh in the finals and found the going rough. The Colonel stalwart breeEed into the finals with two pins and a major decision and the Wilkes fans were upset-minded, as was Bryan. But Burley was too big, to quick and too strong for Billig, who ended on the short end of a 26-7 verdict. The junior matman went out to the NCAA's which were held at Oregon State University in Corvallis and gained a modeat eighth seed. Billig decked Western Michigan's Ron Voss in 5:42 during the first round preliminaries and took another step when he pinned . Purdue's Jeff Tolbert in 5:25 in the next round. But then Bryan was pitted aganst the number one seed and the NCAA champion to be, Randy Lewis of Iowa. Bryan wrestled a tough match and was able to stay with his AH-American opponent for two periods. At the end of the first, Billig trailed by a narrow 2-1 score and was at a lo-6 deficit at time of the fall in 7:30. Bryan then lost a 12-11 heartbreaker to UCLA's Harlan Kistler to be.eliminated from further competition. Sure, Bryan was disappointed, but look at his ac. complishments throughout the season. He finished the year with an 18-3 dual record and a respectable 23-6 overaH mark. Bryan was the first athlete of the year, and first Wilkes athlete to win WNEP-TV, Channel 16's "Athlete of the Week" award. His name also remains in the final individual rankings by Amateur Wrestling News as the ninth best wrestler in the country at 134. Billig etched his name in the record book when he registered 10 falls during the dual season and decked four more foes in post season action to total 14 overaH. He tied Al Zellner's dual mark and Jim LACROSSE, GOLF, MEN'S TENNIS AND WOMEN'S SOFTBALL PREVIEWS WILL BE FEATURED IN NEXT WEEK'S BEACON. Weisenfluh's overaH pin record. He also duplicated the school record of 18 victories in a single season which was established by Mark Densberger last annum. Bryan will get another shot at winning and NCAA place-finish next year and you can bet he will leave Wilkes College among the "Top 20" AllTime Dual Wrestlers. Wilkes c~aptain Mark Densberger, Danville, dropped a knotch from last year's championship title and was forced to settle for runner-up. Densberger sat out a few weeks and it showed in his bouts during the third period. ln fact, Densberger led his finals opponent Jim Reilly of Lehigh until Reilly pulled off a cradle late in the . third period. The Blue and Gold 158 pounder was leading 7-0 after the first period and Reilly initiated a gradual comeback to win 12-7. Densberger posted a fall, a superior decision and regular decision to reach the final round. In the NCAA's he picked up two wins, while losing two in the competition. In his opener, he scored an 8-5 decision but lost the next bout by a 6-3 verdict.

Scranton ("Duh U") remains in first place with 25 totals points ahead of King's (II) and Wilkes with nine. Last year, the Royals took the MIC title, which involves nine sports, over King's and Wilkes. Scranton's women's teams have lifted the Royals in the competition. In men's basketball, " Duh U" took the top spot with five points followed by Wilkes with three and King's with one. Those three finish- ed in the same ,order in cross coontry. Scranton swept the three women's sports too - basketball, v~lleyball and tennis - while King's garnered all three second place finishes. Wilkes took a third in the ladies events. Four spring sports remain and the-Royals look like they will wrap up another MIC title. The four sports left include men's tennis, baseball and golf and women's softball.

On Friday we journeyed to Philadelphia to see the NCAA Eastern Regional Tourney. Iowa, playing more like a TEAM than any other in the country, was really impressive in its win over Syracuse and cry-baby coach Jim Boheim. The night-cap; which featured Georgetown over Maryland, was another barn-burner and left " Lefty" Driesel) still with the "great recruiter, lousy coach" tag. Usually in the "final four" there is ONE " Cinderella" team, but in this year's F.F., there are TWO - Iowa and UCLA. Iowa has come out of nowhere to display its TEAM-work and what can you say about UCLA. Any tea m that can handle DePaul, Ohio State and Clemson, well WHEW! You have to give Larry Brown and UCLA coaching staff credit. They turned a bunch of freshmen, who earlier in the year plainly STUNK, into bonafide championship quality players. Their win over DePaul shocked this writer, and then they downed a super Ohio State team. And whoever thought they would beat Clemson, which has a front line of 6-10, 6-10, and 6-10. The big test for the Californians is this week when they go against a veteran, legitimate "air-craft carrier" in Purdue's Joe Barry Carroll, We would predict Purdue, but with the way the boys from UCLA are playing now, they could probably knock off any of John Wooden's old teams. We've been saying all year that Sam Worthen of Marquette was one of the top guards in the country and he is, but recently we've added DePaul's Clyde Bradshaw, Louisville's Darrell Griffith, Maryland's Greg Manning and Georgetown's Eric "Sleepy" Floyd. Floyd and Manning put a show on Friday in the Regional. Floyd, only a sophomore, had one of the most awesome dunks of the year against the Terps, while Manning, a junior, was deadly from the outside to keep Maryland in the game, while Albert King took the choke. Manning, the best white guard in the country, played against Nanticoke Area when he played high school ball for Steelton-Highspire. Floyd, by the way, was named as the Eastern Regional's " MVP." In this year of the "team-play" concept, we like Iowa to take it all on Monday night. Luke Olson has done a super job as mentor of the Hawks and you might remember him as the coach of North Carolina-Charlotte, which went to the final four not too long ago. On Saturday, we took in the Class AAA playoff game at Pottsville between Bishop Hoban and Daulphin East. Hoban lost despite Mickey Banas' 29 points. We don't like to harp on such things, but we'll just say the officiating in that game was as good as in the Wilkes-Scranton game at Wilkes. Get the idea? The Wilkes wrestlers had a rough time in the nationals this past weekend, but that's expected. Let's face it, we'll never win any national titles in Division I, we're too small. This reporter feels, Wilkes should go Division II, if possible, in most of its sports. It would take a lot of money for scholarships, but it would also help the Division III coaches with recruiting. Remember, Divisions I and II can give scholarships, but Ill can't. It is a long and controversial problem. Scranton is trying to go II, but probably won't succeed. I guess we'll have to suffer along with King's and Scranton, through Division Ill programs. Did you know? Dept.: That Wilkes assistant basketball coach Steve Justice is now serving the school as lacrosse coordinator. " Gate" is one hard worker and did you know his basketball room-mate at Minnesota was current San Diego Padres superstar Dave Winfield. Trivia question: Name the teams in last year's NCAA "Final Four." Answer a little bit later. Upsala College lost in the Dividion Ill national championships game to three-time champ North Park (Ill . ). Upsala is led by a 7-0 foot freshmen center. The four teams in last year's I title series were champ Michigan State, Indiana State (where are all their fans now?), DePaul and, and - Penn. The sad thing about watching NBC's coverage of the NCAA basketball tourney, by the way the most exciting sporting event in the nation, is that it's the last time we get to see and hear Dick Enberg, Al McGuire and Billy Packer. They're the best team on the air covering the best game in town - college basketball, ther~~_1_1~t~if!g like it! BOWLING The Wilkes College Mixed League resumed play last Friday and, though the divisional leaders re11\ained the same, much shuffling took place elsewhere. The biggest change took place in the Pacific Division where Colleen Darrell's miraculous 194-477 led the BS'ers to a 3-0 sweep of the first place Avengers. The BS'ers, the new second place Whippets (Keri Lesniak 474), and the erratic EE's (Joe Rauschmayer 211-548) all moved into contention with 3-0 evenings.

ReaffirDls ·Reaccreditation Of Institution . .. .At its session on March 1st, the Commission on Higher Education of Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools reaffirmed the accreditation of the institution according to Robert S. Capin, President of Wilkes College. In a letter received by the president's office on March 13th notifying the school of its reaccreditation, the CHE commended the institution on its self-study and requested a Periodic Review Report due on March 15, 1985. Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs, stated that the purpose of the report is to indicate any progress made by the college in reference to the recommendations noted by the MSA evaluation team. Dr. Hartdagen added that although the school is in no way obligated to adhere to the recommendations of the team, every suggestion that does not require a large expenditure of money will probably be accomplished. An end result of the work over the past two years, the accreditation process started with notification from the MSA concerning the evaluation of the school about a year before the evaluation team's visit took place. After compiling a self-study, hosting the evaluation team for a three day period, and approving Jhe visitation committee's final report, the school's self-study along with the committee's report were sent to the MSA in January Removal OfMajors-From Diplomas Arouses Protest In Senior Class The recent decision to remove the majors from diplomas has caused much protest from seniors. At last Thursday's senior class meeting president Sue Theobald informed the seniors of the decision not to print the majors on the diplomas for the class of 1980. She also informed students of a petition being circulated to protest the major removals and encouraged them to add their names to the list. Last Friday a meeting was held between Doris Barker, Registrar; Dean Gerald Hartdagen, Academic Dean ; and four students to discuss the reasons for the decision to remove the majors. Dean Hartdagen stated that he had submitted a letter of reasons leading to the major removal decision. (That letter is printed in full on page 4. l Mrs. Barker would only say that she feels the .major removal decision was the right one. She believes the transcript and not the diploma should be the place to list the majors and minors which students have earned in college. She added that she believed Dean Hartdagen's list would explain the reasons for the decision adequately. Sue Theobald said "The Senior Class is not happy with the decision and is planning further action." Although she did not say what this might be she did say they were not definite as to what actions they wished to take. Sue stated, "The seniors believe they have put enough time and money into Wilkes to deserve the right to have their majors included on the diplomas. To us the pride and satisfaclion we feel for Wilkes is reflected in our diplomas. We feel we have the right to have our majors printed on these diplomas.'' Sue further stated that Dean Hartdagen told the Friday-Meeting that the.decision to remove the majors was "administrative business.'' She feels such decisions are the students business as well as the administration's. She continued that the college should listen to what the students want, and understand that having. the majors on the diplomas is important to the seniors. She concluded, "The students are not happy''. Bill Turcan which ultimately resulted in the school's reaccreditation. President Capin said that the institution's self-study was widely applauded by the MSA and was even recommended to other schools as an example of a very good report. Capin went on that he was very satisfied with the entire accreditation process because, "it permitted .us to do a searching study of ourselves." He added that the process not only accomplished its accreditation mission, but . it also facilitated the addressing of many problems facing the ~ollege today. When asked what problem would Withdrawal Proposal Passed By Faculty · Despite much controversy and opposition, the four-week course withdrawal policy will be in effect in September 1980. The final step of the procedure was completed when the faculty passed the proposal by a vote of 52-20-3 at its March meeting. The new policy states that the present ten week withdrawal period will be decreased to four weeks. During the first week of classes, a student will be able to drop and-or add a course with only the advisor's permission. From the second through the fourth week, the student will need the permission of the · instructor, advisor and the dean. After the fourth week, a student may withdraw from a C!)Urse only after consultation with the instructor. Those students taking the sevenweek biology modules will be able to withdraw from the courses during the first four I weeks of each module. The positive effects of the 1>9licy are far-reaching, believes Dr. Debate Tonight In C P A - - - - - - - Congressional Candidates ·vie For Dan Flood's Spot Adebate involving the candidates for the special election of the 11th Congressional District on April 9 will be held Thursday, March 27, from 7: 30 to 9 p.m. at the Center for the Performing Arts.

The candidates include Republicans James Nelligan and take top priority &s far as the college is concerned, Capin replied that no one problem is of greater importance than another. He continued that the entire situation of the institution will tie investigated and not just one particular aspect. President Capin pointed out that the MSA "felt the reaccreditation study was straightforward, honest, and frank," with no shortcomings prevalent at all. He considered this to be very important because "MSA accreditation tells people you have an institution of acceptable quality." Peter Steve Robert Hudock, and Democrats Richard Adams, Frank Harrison, Paul Kanjorski, Edward Mitchell, and Rep. Raphael Musto. Msgr. Andrew McGowan, St. Pius X Seminary, Dalton, will serve as debate moderator.

The academic reputation of the school is enhanced, thus benefiting the students in many ways. The only way the policy can be rescinded is by a proposal through the Academic Standards Committee or the Board of Trustees, stated Dr. Faut. "The policy will be in effect next year," he said. Along with the new withdrawal policy, a new audit policy will be in effect in September 1980. This allows a student to sign up for an audit 'Only prior to or during the first week of the semester.

The conference is being jointly sponsored by the Department of Engineering, Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, and the Institute of Regional Affairs. According to Dr. Umid Nejib, chairman of the Engineering Department, the purpose of the regional conference is to acquaint local leaders in business, government, and industry as well as any large user of energy with current technology available for the utilization of Anthracite as an alternate source.

'rhe cbllege will apply for federal funds through ,the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development by early June. The government should re.il>Ond~ t>Y September of 1980. If the allocation of funds is approved, construction of the new facility would begin immediately. __ . -·Although there is a need for more housing space, building a new dorm is costly, stated Dr. Shaw.

Althoughthecollegewilllose120 dorm students through graduation . and 65 through transfer, Dr. Shaw projects there will be a demand for the 1060 dorm spaces in the fall of · 1980, from 660 returnees and 400 incoming freshmen. There are 775 beds available on campus. Also, there is a possibility that several dorms may be modified slightly, l!_c!_dl!!_g_2(!_~~spac~ .. . .. As a solution, the college is negotiating with the YMCA to take over the residency section. If this plan goes through, another 90 to 95 people would be accommodated. The college is looking into placing the remaining 200 students in the Hotel Sterling. As of March 1980, 70 females and 27 males are housed in the hotel. The Department of Education predicts there will be a 40 percent decline in college enrollment during the next several years. Pr. Shaw does not think this will affect the dorm situation at Wilkes. The sudden increase in dorm students at Wilkes is due to two main factors, he believes. First, there are fewer students in the local high schools; these are usually the comrouters. Second, those that are from the outlying areas such as Mountaintop or Dallas, consider dorms seriously because of the price of fuel needed to commute. Dr. Shaw would like to see a new energy efficient dorm built which would maximize effective maintenance and custodial services. "If by chance,· the money comes up earlier than the HUD funds, we would begin construction of a new dorm then," he concluded. Patti Sparlow F Five Year History-Business Curriculum Attempts To Fulfill Student,s Desires. Are you interested in studying history, but at the same time satisfying a desi_re for a career? The new five year history-business program offers students a chance to do just that. This program involves a B.A. in history at the end of the fourth year and an MBA (Masters in Business Administration) at the end of the fifth. According to Dr. Howard Williams and Dr. James Rodechko, this- program will attract students who were interested in history in high school and want to continue with it in college, while at the same time seeking to satisfy career desires. Students would register as history majors and also complete tise; and also because it combines traditional liberal arts with professional programming. "I see it as a way of combining the two, " stated Dr. Rodechko. . Although this type of program is not unique, Drs. Williams and Rodechko stated there is already evidence of student interest. Dr. Williams elaborated, "I've already had three inquiries - two even before there was any publicity about it." Going into effect next semester, this program will be very easy for students to enter. Both Williams and Rodechko echoed the fact that transfer students and sophomores should be able to .enter this program with relative ease.

Since the search for a speaker began last June, nine people have refused the college's invitations ineluding four Ivy League presidents, and a Supreme Court Justice. "It is not unusual for problems to arise when looking for a speaker, " . said President Capin. First, many peopie have long-range commitments. Another problem is that most prominent people just do not give commencement speeches. Seniors made several suggestions which were eventually eliminated for various reasons. President Capin stated that student opinion is welcome, however the graduating class must understand that the final decision rests with the administration. Sue Suchanic, a member of the senior class executive council Can-icalaDI CoDl~ittee Approves Minors ID Sixteen ~is~ip,ines According to Dr.Gerald Hartdagen, Academic Dean, the Curriculum Committee of the faculty has approved minors in 16 disciplines, to be recommended for approval by the full faculty at the April 3rd faculty meeting. Once passed by the faculty, the minors will be in effect beginriing with the next academic year. Dr. Hartdagen stated that as of the latest Curriculum Committee work session, most of the proposed minors were considered and have either been rejected or forwarded to the faculty for approval. The Curriculum Committee rejected proposals for minors in Business Administration and Economics. Hartdagen explained that in cases where proposals were rejected, the departments usually required too many credits or the proposal did not meet the requirement of having at most two courses at the 100 level with additional courses at upper levels. The minors which have been ap. proved and designated to go before the full faculty include: Accoun- the prerequisites for an MBA. To graduate with a B.A. in history, 121 credit hours are needed including 30 in history and 30 in the business prerequisites. This program will allow enough electives so the student has a chance to graduate with a minor in something else. An MBA at the graduate level includes 30 credit hours - 15 in core requirements and 15 in 105 levels. Five areas of business marketing, managerial science, labor, accounting, and finance - are covered. Both Dr. Williams and Dr. Rodechko feel that businesses would find this attractive because of the fact that it blends a broad background with business exper- Hartdagen did not wish to release the requirements for the individual minors because they have not been approved by the faculty. However, since the proposals will not be voted upon by the faculty until after registration for next semester begins, the above list of minors has been supplied with the understanding that if a student wishes to pursue a minor in one of these areas, he can get more information from the chairman of the department through which that minor is offered.

The results of the evaluations are presented below to make everyone aware of the work which has been done by each representative. Blumfield explained, "I felt that there was a definite need to have the reps evaluated for the voting , population of the campus.'' He added, "Nobody really knows if the representatives are doing their jobs, since mainly what the executive council does appears in the paper." He feels that it is important that the constituents have an idea of the quality of the performance of the peoplewhohavebeen elected to office. Blumfield noted that the evaluation "should give some sort of representation of the representatives' activeness in SG." He cau- SG Social Committee Presents Report On First Attempt Of 'Parties Unlimited' It was reported, at Monday night's Student Government meeting that the first party held by Parties Unlimited, the subcommittee of the social committee, took place this past Saturday in the Student Center. Speaking for the social committee, Diane Seech noted that the party was poorly attended. Several representatives responded by pointing out that a number of private parties were held the same night. Also, SG President Dave Blumfield suggested that since tickets cannot be sold at the door, some people could not attend such a party if they had not purchased tickets before 6:30 p.m. on the day of the party. In a related matter, SG Treasurer Joe Galli mentioned that this past Sunday he talked with some of the workers in the Student Center. Jfe noted that every Sunday they have to do extra work to rearrange the tables and chairs, and to scrub the tabletops because they are not cleaned after the parties during the weekend. It was suggested the groups sponsoring parties should make an extra effort to leave the Student Center in order. In other business, Blumfield brought up an idea to have SG put aside some money each year in order to help the college bring in interesting guest speakers for graduation. Also, he feels that if this can be done the administration should consider allowing the students to have some say in chos- ing the guest speaker. Blumfield's comments sparked SG into a discussion with many representatives voicing their opinions that the students should have some input concerning graduation. Senior representative Sue Suchanic pointed out that all of the classes should take an active part in graduation since it is a college function and not merely a senior one. SG Advisor Dean Art Hoover stated that he had mixed emotions about the subject. He noted, "Historically and traditionally commencement is an academic exercise." He pointed out that any one guest speaker will not appeal to everyone, and he stated, "to put up a lot of money to bring in an enterfor a graduation exercise ~ tainer would be a sham oil the academic exercise." Advisor Doris Barker commented that she thinks SG's money should not enter into the situation, and she would rather see it put into something else like a stereo for the r..,... . . . . . . . . ., . . . . .. ,. . . . . . . --. . ,. . , .-. . . ~.._. . . ,_. . .,.___._, . . . . . .,. . . . . .-. . ,. . . . - - _ - _ ~ !

Page 4, The Beacon, March 27, 1980 With Respect The sad news of Professor George Elliot's death was taken to heart by members of our staff. Several of us had him in classes while the rest knew him. As an educator, he was a man very set in his ways but would bend over backwards for the student. Those who had him for International Trade or Economic Georgraphy knew he loved to teach. He was a dedicated, fair, enthusiastic and respected professor. Beyond that he was also an avid sports fan of the Colonels, win or lose, and was loyal as anyone to the college. On a more personal note, many a Sunday afternoon when The Beacon was holding its weekly staff meeting we would often pass Professor Elliot entering or leaving Parrish Hall. He was correcting papers, preparing for a class or whatever. He always greeted us with a smile and went out of his way to make conversation. At a time like this it is both awkward and difficult to express exactly how one feels. We are just very glad that · we got to know him. · Theobald Seeks Support · Over Diploma Dilemma To the Editor: · ·Open Letter to the Students of Wilkes College: Recently a decision was made to remove the majors from this and following years' diplomas.

Hartdagen Addresses Graduating Class With Explanation To ''Major'' Problem To the Editor: Members of the Senior Class have asked me to publicize the reasons which led to the decision to remove majors from diplomas. Listing the major on the diploma began at Wilkes in 1972. Initially this. posed no particular problem since a simple statement, such as "Major in Philosophy," was _adequate in all cases. In recent years, the addition of double majors and the possibility of one individual obtaining both a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Arts degree have threatened to turn the diploma into a second transcript. The technical problem of how much to include and where to put it made for an intolerable situation. Adding to the nightmare was lhe realization that, beginning in 1981, students would be graduating with minors. Should one, two, or three minors also be listed on the diploma? The point had been reached where a solution to the problem could not be postponed. Very few colleges or universities include a major on the diploma since the purpose of the diploma is to indicate that an individual has earned a degree. The appropriate document for information about courses, grades, majors and minors is the transcript. The uses for the latter are many, but the former will be used rarely, if at all. The decision to remove a listing of majors from diplomas was not made capriciously. It was the result of careful deliberation and in response to a real problem which demanded an immediate solution. It was not made with the intent of depriving students of anything they had earned but rather enhancing the value of a degree and a diplomas from Wilkes College. Dr. Gerald E. Hartdagen De111.1 of Academic Affairs Fairness OfNew Withdrawal Policy Questioned By Student Rep. Nunez To the Editor: Starting fall semester, 1980, the procedure for withdrawing from a course after 4 weeks will entail getting permission from the course Instructor, the faculty advisor and the academic dean. The faculty voted the proposal in as policy 5220-3 in Its March 13 meeting. The new policy reduces the number of weeks from ten to four in order to make the students more responsible in their courses. Proponents of the policy assert that It will increase dialogue between students and faculty, especially since the old policy allowed students to merely notify their professors well into the semester about withdrawal decisions. The new policy emphasizes permission and discussions with the prof. Also asserted is that the new .withdrawal policy, upon implementation, should increase academic standards and decrease withdrawals. The withdrawal proposal is now policy. However, this policy which one would assume to be an improvement over the old policy, has an Inherent inconsistency that was overlooked or deemed insignificant when the vote was taken. One benefit the faculty will derive is the ability to decide criteria for accepting a withdrawal after 4 weeks. No guidelines were established for this decision, and adherence to denying withdrawals after 4 weeks was emphasized. The major inconsistency in the policy ls the inequality in module courses versus semester courses. Under the new policy a student in a biology module must decide upon withdrawal after he has attended 57 percent of his course. All other students in regular semester courses must decide after 28 percent of the course is completed. Stated simply, according to the new college policy, students in biology modules have what is comparable to eight weeks in a semester course, before making a withdrawal decision. The inequality and a question on summer courses were mentioned in a discussion prior to the faculty vote. The number of weeks allowed to drop in a summer course is proportional to that of a semester course, or 28 percent. This is not delineated in the policy, rather, since this was one under the old policy, the assumptions were made that this element of the policy would not change. It was never formally outlined in college policy. In response to the question of inequality, the faculty were informed that the Academic Committee could interprete the policy and Wallace Thanks Supporters And Promises Exciting Yr. To the Editor: To the Class ofl 981 As my first "official" com· municatlon to you, I would firstly like to thank you for your support, and assure you that I will do all within my power to make our final year at Wilkes successful and memorable. Secondly, to maintain a high level of activity and accomplishment, the officers and executive council need the support and assistance of the entire class. The number of votes cast a week ago represents a signHicant percentage of our class; far greater than any of our past elections. This in indicative of your concern for the outcome of our senior year. All to often we hear of complaints of apathy and lack of spirit here at Wilkes. We have shown that this is not completely true, but just depends on how motivated everyone is to do something. WE can be the class that turns this apathetic attitude around. It may not seem like much now, but later you'll be proud to have had an active senior year to remember. When asked to help with a project, please consider this idea, and join in. Even if you can't spend a whole lot of time, any kind of contribution you can make will help build our unity. Attend the Class meetings; con• tribute your ideas. Don't just be a member of our class, be a PART of our class. I'm looking forward to a really great year. Rob Wallace President, Class of 1981 eliminate the problem. This gross inconsistency can not be resolved by interpretation. The policy states that a student may drop a course prior to getting permission four weeks into the cours It makes no exceptions (modules or summer school) and does not utilize any percentages as in 28 percent of the course completed. Because the approved policy stat~ four weeks when Its intent was an amount of time equivalent to four out of fourteen weeks, the policy should be ammended. As it stands, an unfair situation exists. As a result of the policy, students must become more aggressive. According to Dr. .Owen Faut, Academic Committee chairperson, If students are not getting a fair sample of their course in four weeks, then they are getting cheated. If this is the case, and most students have encountered courses that rambled at the beginning and rapidly became difficult, then it is the students who must make the demands. It is far too easy for students and faculty alike to slowly acclimate themselves into college at the beginning of each semester. However, if the student is to make wise decisions, then demanding a fair representation of course content in four weeks is the only recourse.

One of the dancers of the Rod Rodgers Dance Company does warm-up exercises before the recent performance by the company. style. They are well known tor their rhythmic and percussion dance pieces. Critics have acclaimed the dance company's work as "some of the most exciting abstract move- . ment around" and "a unique celebration of Afro-American experience.'' Both of these statements are very true. "Tangents" began the program; this piece featured three dancers two females and one male. The dancers performed with long thin rods, which seemed like extensions of the body. The rods were whipped through the air and beat on the floor adding to the movement and rhythm. " Visions of a New Blackness" , "Sweet Blues," "Need No Help", "Box 71" and " Creature" were among the other works presented throughout the evening. "Sweet Blues" was a very fluid and flowing piece performed by two dancers - one female and one male. "Creature" was choreographed by a dancer ip the company, Shirley Rushing. The accompaning music was by Herbie Hancock. Noel Hall was the featured guest artist and was found center stage engulfed in green light with blackness surrounding him lending a quite mysterious effect. Hall was, as one could say, the "creature" mixing many different styles of dance throughout this piece. The company's very dramatic style was evident in "Box 71" This piece was choreographed by Rod Rodgers and featured him as one of the participants. "Box 71" is a tribute to George Jackson who was involved in the prisoner rebellion at Attica State Prison. Mock jail bars were used to give the effect of a man imprisoned and another "free" . The man inside seemed to be boxed in by prison bars while the man outside was imprisoned by society's attitudes. "Rhythm Ritual" was the closing PSYCHING ONESELF UP. This featured dancer from the company is also practicing before taking the stage for her dramatic presentations. number which featured all the dancers in the company.

Mary Cassatt was a true jmpressionist and is,. today, widely acknowledged as one of the most important painters America h~s The Junior League of Wilkes-Barre is sponsoring the major exhibit, "Three American Women" in the Sordoni Art Gallery. The exhibition will remain on display until April Tith. The exhibit is significant to this area in that, all three artists, Mary Cassatt, Martha Walter and Cecilia Beaux were native Pennsylvanians, who lived and painted in Philadelphia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They produced in any century. Cecilia Beaux devoted herself to portraiture and followed a vibrant forthright style often equated with the works of Thomas Eakins and John Singer Sargent. Martha Walter, the youngest of the group, absorbed the lessons ~f impressionism along with such later developments as Matisse's Fauvism, in creating a · vivaciousand colorful style of more distinctly twentieth century character. Together these artists represent some of the most important and c.dmired artistic developments of that era. The exhibition of approximately thirty works will be the first to show, in a collective way, the works of these women in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Art Historian Dr. William Sterling, director of the Sordoni Gallery and chairman of the Fine Arts Department said of these women, "Although there are many successful women artists today, there were very few then. To pursue a career in art as a woman, then, required tremendous courage, determination and self-confidence. That these women made it in this endeavor, testifies' as much to their grit as to their considerable gifts.'' HQurs for the Sordoni Gallery are Sunday through Friday 1-5 p.m.; Thursday evening 6-9 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no admission charge and the public is cordially invited to visit the gallery. featured dancer was once again Noel Hall who seemed to be portraying an African witch doctor. He used various percussion instruments along with the other dancers as they "communicated" onstage. The entire program was excellently choreographed and presented. The athletic leaps and strenuous leg extensions portrayed the determination and dedication that the dancers have for their art. It seemed, to this writer at least, that some people found the dances very hard to understand and interpret; this showed by the slow filtration of the audience. Those that stayed to the very last piece seemed to enjoy and appreciate the program. Margaret Scholl , Campus Commentary The Draft (peo- Nerve gas drifting over the fields of Europe; anti-personnel bombs ple killers) used with abandon; 500,000 American soldiers dead in the first six weeks. This is the Pentagon's documented scenario for the war to be fought should the U.S. want to protect Europe from Soviet invasion. While the rest of us watched with horrified fascination as China and Russia flirt with 'limited' nuclear war over the invasion of Vietnam, the Pentagon is gleefully predicting that a war in Europe or Asia is proof we need a new military draft in these here United States. "A war in Europe will be vastly more destructive than the Pentagon has admitted to date/' warns Tom Conrad of the Friends of Peace.Committee, a Quaker group. "Military estimates of the number of American soldiers who would die on the European battlefield have increased sharply and as a result the military has quietly levied new demands on the Selective Service System." Gloria Jacobs (Seven Days) predicts " a nuclear war would turn soldiers and civilians alike into bombfodder, creating the need for constant replacements" - if they can get them. The Joint Chiefs of Staff expect to get them : In November (1978? ), General David C. Jones, chairman of the Joint Chiefs said he had recommended to Defense Secretary Harold Brown that the draft be reinstated so the U.S. could be ready to face a "crisis." "We do have problems with the all-volunteer forces - some fairly serious problems" , he told the media. Short of a new draft, Jones said he would push for classification for all young people from 18 to 26 years old, with mental and physical examinations for the registrants. There's no one, either in the Army or out of it, who thinks military .leaders could take today's "volunteer" army into any war:_ envisioned by the Pentagon. Racism, sexism, and recruitment fraud among officers have seen to it, that, as in Iran recently, "too many officers would hesitate to lead their men into battle, fearing that their soldiers might use them for target practice." In 1976, 16.9-percent of the armed forces recruits were Black; last fall, 43 percent were Black, and the percentage will probably continue to rise as long as unemployment among young Black males hovers around 60 percent. " Volunteers ... are coming far more heavily from the ranks of the poor, the unemployed arid the undereducated than did even the troops in Vietnam, " stated The New York Times in a recent editorial. "No problem is more worrisome than the shortage of middle.class, college-oriented recruits,' ' the paper concluded. Blatant as these statements are, the government (defense department) rarely indicates what they find so worrisome about a poor, Black Army. They often seem to imply that the Army should be more middle-class in the interests of "equal opportunity" (shades of reverse discrimination) . But the real reasons have more to do with the nature of the military (government) itself, which is incapable of purging the system of racism, and unwilling to provide the remedial training needed by many of the undereducated poor. Thus, while minority men and women join the military, desperate for a paycheck and in hol)e of an education, they stumble against the same barriers that blocked them in the outside world. If they rebel, they're thrown in the stockade or given a "bad paper" discharge, worsening a chance of their finding a job on the outside. Parade magazine recently stated that " During the four-year period ending Junt 30, 1977, our armed forces reported 608,000 cases of AWOL (absent without leave). According to General Accounting Office estimates, these have cost the federal government more than $1 billion. A GAO report, "AWOL in the Military," says the problem is likely to get worse. It explains that there is no overall method of treating the problem and that because of the discretionary nature of sentencing, there is no consistency either in punishment or type of discharge issued to the guilty." �Page 6, The Beacon, March 27, 1980 Wilkes Alumnus •••· •••••••••· •••••••••••· •••••••······ •· ••••••••· •••••••••••••••••••••· •••••••••••••••.•••••••••• Dr. Charnetski Described As -Work-A-Holic If you were to ask people to describe their personalities in one short sentence, you could safely bet that there would be a great deal of soul searching to find the proper thing to say. But in the case of Dr. Carl Charnetski, assistant professor of psychology, the answer came almest without effort. He said, "I'm a work-a-holic. I just can't sit still without having something to do." After you take a peek at his work history it becomes qulte easy to see why he couldn't have put it any better. Like many of the faculty, Dr. Charnetski is an alumnus of Wilkes College having graduated in 1970. Although he ended up graduating Magna Cum Laude in psychology he'll admit that his freshman year was not worth speaking about. Soon a•ter that not only did he turn his school work around but he also got married, which he admits helped him to settle down. After graduation, Dr. Charnetski spent two years in Philadelphia working as a consultant to the Systems Research Company. Also during that time, he worked for the Institute for Urban Systems Urban City Science Center where he concentrated his efforts in research and development. Then, the Temple Graduate School offered him a place in a graduate program that led straight into their Ph.D program. At first when he accepted the spot in the program he felt intimidated by the credentials of .the other candidates who wer~ selected. He said, "I really wondered how could I ever compete. There were people with degrees from Harvard, Yale, and UCLA." He continues, "But then I found out that they didn't have any more knowledge and understanding of Uie subject that I did. There were only two people who finished the program in four years: the guy from UCLA and me." Dr. Ch!rnetski related this story, "The two of us became very good friends. Both of us bad families to support so we decided to fil!d wa~s Riley, bead of the psychology department at Wilkes. Dr. Riley was at the convention to advertise an opening on the Wilkes staff.

Remember the Johnstown Flood", "Ladies -and Gentlemen, will you please refrain from ......wasting food" , "Butter is often wasted. Take what you'll eat."-These are some of the many signs concerning food wasteage that have suddenly appeared in the cafeteria. From looking at the trays being taken to the conveyor system during meals, it becomes obvious that there is a certain measure of food wasteage in the cafeteria. For specific facts on the quantities wa:sted everyday, the cafeteria management staff were approached with a few questions. According to Calman Baggs, one of the cafeteria managers, there is a lot of food wasted in the cafeteria. "The cost of food is high, and so are other college costs. We are attempting to keep the cost (of attending college) from rising by minimizing food wasteage," he said. The food items most wasted are deserts, salads and beverages. "People take more than what they can eat and then find they cannot finish the food," said Mr. Baggs. When asked for specific figures in terms of dollars, Mr. Baggs replied that it was difficult to do so but gave butter as an example. He stated that butter currently costs $28.29 a case. One and a half cases are used a day and about half of this amount is thrown away. Simple arithmetic reveals that this amounts, for butter alone, to about $21.21 a day, $1,909.57 a semester or $3819.15 a year. "The amount of peanut butter which is wasted is also unbelievable. Some people fill a whole salad bowl with it and then use a very small amount," added Mr.Baggs. Some students have complained that cafeteria food is badly prepared. Afew have even said that it is unfit for human consumption. When these were put before Mr. Baggs he replied that catering for about 800 people involves catering for a wide variety fo tastes. "What I like to eat might not be considered tasty by another person, so we serve two or three different entrees per meal," said Mr. Baggs. "We also have to bear in mind that different people like their food prepared in different ways," said Mr. Baggs. "This," he continued, "means that the cafeteria h·as to strike a middle course and cannot cater for individual tastes." The cafeteria staff work long hours to serve the students, according to Mr. Baggs, "They also try and do their best but cooking for 800 people is not like home cooking," he con- tinued. Mr. Baggs also added that there is always one manager available at meal times to listen to student complaints. "Some students give the ladies who serve a hard time, but these ladies only do what the cooks or manager tell them to," he continued. When asked if there have been any major complaints so far he said there have been none. "Most students seem satisfied,1' he said. "The signs which have been put up have not had much effectiveness so far", said Mr. Baggs. Obviously the question of wasted food, because even this food is paid for, is costing everybody a lot of money. Perhaps it is worth noting that there is a suggestion box placed near the tray-veyor and this box is for suggestions concerning the preparation and serving of food in the cafeteria. ,.:.C:::Wfu0:::;::;;,~:''::,:<':ci:«=:½~{;:::,{,:::·=·:.\i::::,,,. ·"''"~ MUSCLES-Wayne Castle, second from left, wen his second Mr. I' Wilkes contest.

Government m~ting, he noted that the facilities were not being replaced because of their age, but because, "they have been beaten to hell." Housing Director Paul Adams agreed with this statement but he added that the building is a men's dorm and the bathrooms, like the other parts of the dorm, get a lot of use and abuse. Adams also pointed out that the building is poorly designed in that the walls do not lend themselves to s..pporting metal stalls. A letter appeared in last week's issue of the Beacon which called attention to the reportedly poor condition of the bathrooms in Warner House, one of the dorms in Pickering Hall. When asked if the complaint was legitimate, Adams responded by saying th~t during the week the bathrooms are· cleaned everyday by the college housekeepers, but on weekends it is the responsibility of the dorm residents to keep the rooms clean. He continued that the weekend before the letter was printed, the Warner House bathroom was not in very good shape since the residents and their visitors did not keep it in good condition. Adams also noted that the Warner House area receives the most traffic because it · is located over the bookstore and a lot of people travel through the dorm on their way to and from the cafeteria. Adams went on to say that when a student has a complaint, the procedure usually followed is that the student informs his resident assistant who then informs the Housing Office. In this case the Warner House RA reportedly received no complaint from the dissatisfied student. "The day before the article appeared," commented Adams, "I had all the guys in the dorm paint that bathroom because they had abused it." In his letter, Paul Shepperd also questioned what was being done with his $50 dorm damage deposit. Adams explained that the deposit is not collected for the purpose of making improvements, but the money is held in case a student 1 NOTICE Applications for booths for the Cherry Blossom weekend canival are now available in the Library, bookstore and the Student Government office.

Leads SG To Define Students' Rights I .m ! ., §_ :_:-: ~ ,.,. I Nominations for president of Student Government were held this past Monday at the weekly meeting . of SG. Five students were nominated, but Joe Galli was the only one to accept the nomination. The four other students who were nominated but declined are Marla Brodsky, Rob Doty, Ana Nunez, and Mike Stapelton. Before the nominations, SG vicepresident Marla Brodsky read the rules for nominations of officers and the duties and powers of the president. After the meeting, Joe Galli was asked to answer a few questions for The Beacon. Galli commented that he wants to be SG president because he enjoys working with the students and with the administration. He pointed out that he would like to see more interaction between the students and faculty. He added, "I enjoy working for the benefit of students and for the betterment of student life." Galli cited communications as a ::Jl!~S~a~: ':o:::l~~:~· :!: more communication between the representatives and their constituents, so that the reps will be expressing the views of the students, and not necessarily their own individual views. He stated that he would like to see better communication between the executive council and the rest of SG as well as with the student body. In order to help improve communications between SG and the students, Galli hopes to be able to encourage more students to attend the meetings, and he is considering publishing a newsletter. Galli sees the communication gap between the SG body and the administration as the biggest problem concerning the students of the college. Among his other priorities, Galli .lists passing next year's budget with a $60 activity fee included. He noted that the increased fee will allow more availability of funds for campus activities including concerts and other similar events. Also high on his list of priorities is better advisement to studenti; through their faculty advisors. Galli was asked to comment on t~e work done by this year's president, Dave Blumfield. Galli began by saying that Blumfield did an excellent job. "He had to start from the ground base and work upward," commented Galli, and he went on to say that Blumfield did a lot to improve the integrity of SG. He continued by noting that Blumfield has been very authoritative and "he has shown aggression when aggres.sion was needed. ' ' He pointed out that Blumfield's leadership abilities were excellent, {li if._; J: i . ~.. ' , Joe Galli " but at times he was too possessive." He elaborated that by "too possessive" he meant that Blumfield was always talking in !~~~~ ;~ihi~~~1t~~~f:..1!t;: Galli. He also pointed out that Blumfield did not consult with the other officers enough. He explained that many times the officers had not been as well informed as they should have been.

She has been an IDC rep for one year; fifst as a rep for the Hoterwomen, then as a rep for Weiss Hall. She is a member of the CC-IDC Social Committee and is the chairman of the JDC Pajama Party. In other campus activities, she is a member of the Accounting and Business Club and works in the Admissions Office as a student tour guide for visitors to the campus. Janine decided to run for the office of IDC president for several reasons. She feels it presents an op- portunity she has nC?t yet explored, and she has also noted that there has never been a female IDC president. Some of her specific goals include: putting committee reports given at each meeting in writing so that a record of these reports can be kept; getting the reps more involved, especially the freshmen, who she sees as a major resource for IDC. She would like to see the freshmen get involved and " mature in IDC, and perhaps hold an office as they mature." At a more general level, she would like " to build on the accomplishments of this year.'' Janine feels that one of the qualifications she can cite for the job of president is her experience as both a commuter and a dorm student. While at Roane State Community College, she was a commuter for those two years. She feels that, "I can help the dorm student and the commuter student relate, and I can be more open-minded and understanding. " Having lived in the Hotel Sterling her first semester at Wilkes, she believes she was able to " meet all different kinds of dorm students- I think I get along with almost every kind of personality, arid listen to all complaints." Concening c«Hld housing, both Jon and Janine feel that it is necessary at Wilkes to have this alternate lifestyle available. Both would like to see the Hotel recognized as c«Hld. Jon is also in favor of creating c«Hld housing in Pickering Hall by floors. Janine stated that she is in support of the proposal to make Miner Hall a women's dorm and Sterling Hall a men•s ·dorm for security reasons. When questioned about their impressions of IDC this year, both nominees expressed a positive attitude. Jon stated that IDC " has been fairly active this year," and that the council has accomplished a great deal. Janine believes she has " gotten a lot out of it, " and that it has helped her to become involved in different activities at Wilkes. Nominations for the other offices of IDC were also made at the meeting. For the office of vice president, several reps we re nominated but only two accepted the nominations; Valerie Van Dyke , and Ivan Shidlovsky.

Steve Demko was displeased with the attendance at the other donor days, "Attendance at the last two was poor. There were only 75-100 people who donated at the last donor day. " According to him the number of donors from Wilkes should be much higher. " I'd like to see from 200-225 people donating blood on April 15th." he adds. Demko believes that blood donation is very important, " Blood is in high demand now. These drives are the only way there is to get the needed plasma." He further states, "Anyone who has given blood cannot be refused blood if they are ever in need of it - and they do not have to pay for it.

The fun will conclude on Sunday with the softball finals, swimming competitions and a coffee house. Awards will be given. In unfinished business, it was reported that the Block Party scheduled for April 26 has gained additional support from IDC and SG. Originally, the party was to serve cold cuts, but because of the interest in it, clams will also now be served. In addition to the band, the "Back Mountain Strings" was also suggested to perform. Admission to the Block Party will be free. CC, IDC, SG and the Cherry Blossom Committee will pay the bill. At last week's commuter council elections, the majority of representatives were re-elected. However, there was some confusion centering on a write-in campaign in the class of 1983. According to Bill Lewis, President of the Council, "the (Publicity and Elections) Committee failed to list the votes on the ballot of the write-in campaign. " An investigation by Lewis is ex- peeled. Nominations for Commuter Council President were also held on Monday night. Bill Miller and John Moffatt were nominated. Elections will be held on Tuesday, April 8.

CLASS : 1981 DEGREE: B.S., Accounting CUM : 2.86 S.G. EXPERIENCE: If you are ever driving down South Goodwin Avenue in Kingston and see a sprightly figure on the roof of one of the houses replacing the tiles, it would most probably be our own Peggy Jones, secretary to Deans Hoover and Ralston. A secretary who is also a part time roofer? "Sure, I also do all my carpentry and fixing around the house," adds Peggy with a laugh. "I really like to take care of my house and do the housework. I am my own contractor." Beside just the usual household chores, Peggy also cans fruits and vegetables and has also put in the concrete steps on her front porch. Peggy goes on to add, "I like to keep myself busy at home and at work." She is busy at her job, being a comb~ation receptionist and secretary for the two deans, which means she sees on the average about 50 male students a day. This is certainly a job any woman would love. In fact when asked what she enjoys most about her job, her immediate response was, "The guys!" as she roared into laughter. Continuing in a more serious vein, "I enjoy talking with the students and listening to their problems and their stories." It is clear from the number of students who are by her desk as one usually passes, the feeling on the part of the students is the same. "There are some kids that Student Government Representative for 3 years, Chairman of Publicity and Elections committee for 1 year, Student Government Treasurer for 1 year, Freshman Orientation Staff for 2 years, S.G. Representative for Student Union Board for 1 year, Student Government Florida Trip Coordinator for 1 year, S.G. Representative for Faculty Committee for 1 year, S.G. Representative on Steering Committee for Visitation Day for 1 year, S.G. Executive Council member for 1 year. PLATFORM: ~ I. Greater communication between Student Government and the Student Body A) Better Publicity 1) Centralized bulletin board on campus where all upcoming events can be publicized. 2) Bimonthly newsletter to be printed by Publicity and Elections Committee and the Corresponding Secretary of S.G. B) Apartment Council 1) Help students find apartments -2) Help students with any problems arising from apartments 3 ) Keep better communications between on/off campus students II. Social A) Create Travel <;,ommittee in order for students to take advantage of special student rates over breaks and holidays. B) Increase outdoor activities by working through Commuter Council and Inter-Dormitory Council. Such activities can be Old Fashion New England Clambakes and outdoor Variety Niles and the revival of block parties. III. Academic A) Provide better counseling (faculty advisors ) for students by working with the Dean of Academic Affairs. B) Better departmental communications between students and faculty outside of the classroom. 1) Informal gatherings of students and faculties within each department. 2) Students and Faculty from each department competing against other departments in competitive events. C) S.G. Academic Committee working with Placement office in providing seminars for students in each respective major using recent alumni of Wilkes College to discuss with student what they can expect after college. IV. Financial · A) Increase student Activities Fee 1) Promote at least one concert a semester 2) Increase all budgets, ailowing more money for more clubs and organizations to promote student activities. Peggy come to see the dean with a problem and end up getting advice from me and then leaving." In fact their are some students who come just to talk to Peggy. Another group of students that are often in the office to consult with Dean Ralston are the foreign students. "I listen to Uieir problems especially and try to understand their difficulties." She obviously has become more than just a LD. C.

Stapleton noted that Professor Elliot had been instrumental in forming IDC. It was also decided that IDC would donate some money to the scholarship fund that was established in Professor Elliot's name. Visitation Day for prospective freshmen at Wilkes is coming up on April 13. The IDC reps were reminded that the lunch line would close at 12:00 instead of at 12:30 on that day. Stapleton stated that there would be an IDC booth set up on campus for Visitation Day, and that help was needed to man the booth. Under committee reports, the upcoming IDC pajama party in the Student Center was discussed briefly. It was reported th at th e request form for the party had been turned in, but the exact date of the party was still not settled.The party will take place on April 1112.

While I was talking to her, in fact, one of the foreign students invited her to his wedding this summer. Peggy, who has been working at the deans office for thirteen years now, says her goal in her job is to "be a good secretary." Did she ever want to be a dean? "That would be fun! I think I would really enjoy that but I enjoy the contact I have with students now a great deal too." In the past thirteen years, however, the students have changed according to Peggy. "Today students have goals and are here to work toward accomplishing them." When she began at the school, however, the students had a different attitude. "T.he kids back then were basically unsettled. They wanted change and in many instances they got it." She noted as an example the open housing policy which students in the sixties fought for and received. Peggy Jones, then, has become much more to the students at Wilkes than just a receptionist in the deans office or a secretary, she has become a friend. We all hope that we will see her smiling face behind the desk on the second floor of Weckesser Hall for a long time to come.

The presidencies of Student Government, InterDormitory Council, and Commuter Council are up for grabs. Each post offers a full-tuition scholarship, yet for the three offices only four candidates emerged. From SG, Joe Galli is the sole nominee for president. He is the most knowledgable and experienced member on SG to run for the office but it shouldn't just be handed to him. We would like to see him go through a tough campaign and win. It would make his election more meaningful ... as if he cwed the students something in return. At present Galli is not obligated to make one promise and could very easily skate through next year. With his respect for SG and ability to assume responsibility, Galli will most likely not take this route. We expect him to improve upon SG's activities where outgoing president Dave Blumfield left off. Janine Tucker and Jon Pliskin offer the only competition as they run for the top spot of IDC. This will be the first time in three years that IDC has nominated more than one candidate. IDC is a social planning organization that also deals with some policies concerning dorm life. The controversial issues are limited, but "touchy" subjects are often discussed. IDC is basically a forum for opinions and suggestions of dorm students. The president of IDC must be one who will command the respect of the executive council and the dorm representatives. He or she does not necessarily have to be opinionated but rather organized and effective. We feel Tucker best suits that qualification and will be an excellent leader. Even though she is a transfer student of one year, Tucker has adapted to the campus very nicely. The contest between Bill Miller and John Moffatt for the CC presidency had been one that many commuters were looking forward to. Both are excellent candidates and it was anticipated to be a very close race. Moffatt, however, has withdrawn. Since he is not allowed to hold the office of CC president and a class office simultaneously, he has · opted to stay with the Class of 1981 treasurer position. Like IDC, CC is , primarily a social planning organization with some authority concerning commuter student policies. Although we felt that Moffatt may have been a stronger leader over Miller, we are very confident that Miller will do excellent work next year. He is enthusiastic, organized, and sincere in his efforts to help create a better social atmosphere for the college as a whole. The combination of Galli, Tucker, and Miller looks like a good one and may be the best trio put together in the recent history of the three organizations. Vote Galli, Tucker, and Miller. Volunteers Still Needed For Visitation Day To the Editor: The next meeting for students involved in Visitation Day will be on Thursday, April loth at 11 : 00 in Stark. Visitation Day is less than 2 weeks away but there is still time left for you to volunteer to participate in this program. Over 500 people will be coming on campus on Sunday April 13th and students will be needed to direct our visitors to available parking facilities on campus. If you are interested, please attend the next student meeting or contact me in the Admissions Office. Debra B. Stratton Assistant Dean of Admissions Theof}ald Answers Hartdagen ,s ·Letter Reg~rding Controversial Diploma Issue To the Editor: To Dr. Hartdagen: In response to the article appearing in last week's BEACON concerning the "Major" problem, I am replying for a majority of the Class of 1980. According to the letter, the addition of double majors or double degrees (Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts) threatens to turn the diploma into a second transcript. Double majors have appeared on the diploma before without the diploma turning into a second transcript, so this should not be any more of a threat this year. Very few, if any, students from the Class of 1980 will receive a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Arts Degree therefore this should not be a reason to deny the Class of 1980 the opportunity of having their majors listed on their diplomas. The technical problem mentioned in the letter has been solved for the past eight years by placing the major on a separate line below the degree on the diploma. Our concern is the "Major" and not the "Minors" since minors do not exist for us and therefore are not our concern and should be dealt with next year. Just because the majority of the colleges and· universities do not print the major on the diploma doesn't mean that Wilkes must follow in their footsteps . Since when does Wilkes have to keep up with the Jones'? By removing the majors from the diploma we are now Pliskin Promises like all the other colleges, but I was always lead to believe that Wilkes was better than the rest. I hold pride in this institution and am honored to receive a diploma from Wilkes College. Because I have worked hard for four years, I am proud of my work and I feel I deserve the honor of receiving my diploma with my major concentration included on it. Even though in the future it may be a dust collector, right now it is important to me · that my major is stated on my diploma. Susan L. Theobald President of the Class of 1980 Campus Commentary Jogging Eases The Mind Boring, painful, time-consuming, strenuous, uncomfortable, laborious, foolish , pointless : These are all adjectives which I formerly used to describe jogging. I believed that all joggers were a masochistic, elite group of physical fitness snobs who thumbed their noses at the rest of the nonrunning world. Ask yourself, who in their right would leave the comfort of their air-conditioned room to go out into a hot, humid world to sweat, risk injury, and endure cruciating pain? However, over the years my attitudes towards running and joggers has drastically changed as I have discovered a new way of looking at and appreciating jogging. It seems self-evident that the quality of one's own life is determined by the state of one's health. It is true that joggers are a different breed of people, but they are people who place a high value (priceless) on life and health. When I stopped looking at jogging as a chore, and began to perceive both the physical and spiritual benefits I could derive from it, that became the turning point at which I began to enjoy jogging. When I run (but can't hide ), my body and my environment are in complete harmony. Both my self and environmental awareness are heightened to almost overwhelming levels. There is an energy exchange : nature to runner+ runenr to Nature; it is the rare world of direct experience. Pain is an integral part of this total experience, but the runner learns to recognize (Identify) and understand his pains. He knows which ones are warning lights and which ones are challenges. Whereas the runner is free, the man who drinks beer and watches television all day is enslaved by his fear of• physical discomfort. I get more satisfaction from bettering my own (individual) performances than from beating others. To put it simply, running just keeps me going and gets me out of my bad moods. Jogging makes me feel good to be alive and healthy. To me, there is not a better feeling in the world than to realize I am doing some things which benefits both my body and mind. · David A. Clanton Improved JDC USPS 1132-01141 Editor-In-Chief Jim Edwards If Elected Pres. To the Editor: To All Dormitory Students: As the dorm population expands, the Inter-Dormitory Council is beginning to expand its role in campus life. Food, Social, Maintenance, and Parking committees are being added to the constitution of IDC. The purpose of these committees is two fold: One, to inform the administration of student views, and two, ~ help plan and sponsor more student activities. The only way IDC will be able to achieve its goal of expansion is to have a president who can pull these committees together into one grQup and lead this group, called IDC, into a more active role in the student life here at Wilkes. I feel sure that I am capable of doing this. As Maintenance chairman of IDC and student member of the Steering Committee for Visitation Day scheduled for Sunday, April 13th, I have learned not only how to organize ideas and committees, but I've also learned the proper channels which ensure the reality of those ideas. Help IDC expand its role in campus life by electing me president on Thursday, April 10.

What is it this time? Picture this : For sale-a college degree. Price-cheap. Only $20,000. No major required. Sounds good, doesn't It? Look no further, my friends, because if you are a student here at this fine institute of higher learning, that's what you've already bought for yourself. Just think how much money they'd save in admissions, and how much time you'd save In filling out an application that eliminated the page of fields of interest or majors? It would have saved me time, and perhaps money. As a matter of fact, the present $15 fee required of the applicant could be cut in half, as our diplomas are. I'm not only · disappointed but upset by the fact that the theory that an institute exists is to provide careers for the faculty, and not for the purpose of educating the studeljs is coming true. One . goes through high school either to prepare oneself for a chance to better oneself by enrolling in an institute .that will provide one with the tools necessary to become a functional part of society, or to prepare one with only the necessities. I chose the road that would give me these tools. I guess I took the wrong exit. Maybe I should · have turned the corner a long time ago. The journey through high school was long, but once I had that diploma in my hands I knew I was ready to embark on another. Wrell, the road I am travelling on is quickly coming to an end, but at this point in time, someone put up a dead end sign because I'll have a degree, but will have lost direction. Maybe I ought to have tried Hare Krishna. I wonder if they issue majors. I came here four years ago when the fee to apply was $10. I was unsure of what the future would hold, but was informed that, as long as I declared a major by my junior year, I'd be fine. I did what was asked of me; as a matter of fact, I changed my major; but c!,fter four years of hard-work, all-nighters, final exams and $20,000, them item I really value is being denied.· Call me naive, but as a student, I assumed that If I had concern about the school I wanted to express they would listen. Listen? Maybe I waited until it was too late, but I'm expressing a concern that is not only mine, but that of many students. The purpose of this letter is not to show my disrespect for the administration and faculty, but, at the same time, I feel that is what they have shown us. Being a resident assistant, I am in some respects considered a part of the administration, but I am also a student. For every job there is a certain amount of sacrifice that is required. What I won't sacrifice are my rights. The other members of the administration already have their diplomas. I do not. The purpose of this letter is to point out to you that, as. students, we do have certain rights, but nowhere are they written down. We aren't demanding that much, only a voice, a chance to really be li~tened to, not just heard like a voice in the night. A decision was made with almost no student input, yet without students, where would this school be? Not on the map, that's for sure. Removal of the majors from diplomas would have gon unnoticed, or so they thougilt. Doesn't say too much for their. opinions of us. ·After all, .they're not their diplomas, they're ours. That piece of pa~r. or whatever part of graduation we value is worth at least $20,000. Look, what I am saying is that maybe you don't value your diploma as much as I do. lf your preference Is the ceremony, the cap or gown, fine. That's your right. I want that diploma and I Heavyweight Bob Matzelle Cites His B-Day Greetings want to be able to reserve the right to have what I want written on that piece of paper. It should be the students' choice! You have my money; do you want my diploma too? I have my education, that can't be denied me. A degree to me, is a st~p up. The major tells what step that direction took. We are not asking for it to be written in Latin or Greek. Despite what other colleges have written on their diplomas, I will refuse to leave this school without my major on mine.

This is a very important choice and I am encouraging all commuters to vote and become involved in school activities, of which Commuter Council is a vital part. As a candidate for the office of president of Commuter Council, I would like to explain to you the plans I have made for the next year if I am elected. First of all I believe the biggest problem facing all commuters is that of parking. Since the number of on-campus spaces are severly limited, I will try next year to make sure that all available spaces on campus lots are being properly used and attempt to get more spaces allocated for the students. Another proposal which with the help of Inter-Dormitory Council is already ·in the planning stages, is a parking grievance committee. This committee will handle compla~ts from have seen how much can be productively accomplished if the two groups work together. Next year, I feel we can do even more in the areas of parking as well as the planning of parties. So when next Thursday arrives, I encourage you to vote. Expressing your opinion on campus affairs is best done through the ballot box. I am also asking for your support of my ideas and my candidacy. Together we can accomplish much. students about tickets received on campus lots which the student may feel are a mistake. In addition to these programs the continuation and expansion of the Park and Lock program and the selling of bus tokens by Commuter Council will be key ways we. can help the day student keep his costs of commuting down. Yet beyond just the p~king issue, I feel Commuter Council must provide activities which will encourage more students to be active on campus. By providing parties ori weekend breaks and activities such as coffee houses during activity periods we will be able hopefully to get more commuter students Involved in what is going on here at Wilkes. Another key area which I feel is important is cooperation between two major student governing bodies on the Wilkes .campus, Commuter Council and Inter-Dormitory Council.

Stratton Assistant Dean of Admissions �Page I, The Beacon, April 3, 1980 Ra.penAslcs A Work·Of Art • • • It could be a part of the "I Spy" feature from the comics page Qf the local newspaper; it could be part of an Art major's exhibit; it could be a lot of things, but what it represents is another in what is now a series of articles on the problem of vandalism on campus. In that regard I echo President Blumfield's . remarks and Housing Director While we each enJOY the benefits of this campus Community, we also share the responsibility for meeting the costs of the community. Mr. Blumfield made the point that part of the rising tuition costs are earmarked for the repair or replacement .of vandalized articles ; Mr. Adams t alked about the damage deposit paid by resident. These are CHESTNUT BRASS COMPANY - A few weeks ago the Concert and Lecture Series sponsored the unique talent of the Rodgers Dance Company; next ... Or lrreaponsibility? Adams' remarks in recent issues of the Beacon. How significant is this set a tableware? Not much, I agree ; at least not in terms of monetary cost. Food service personnel tell me that the value of this fork and spoon is probably not more than 75 cents combined. What is far more important Is that acts of vandalism occur with such frequency on · campus that we can be lulled Into accepting them as something that is bound to happen. A group of students are sitting at a Cafeteria table after lunch engaged in conversation, one casually picks up his fork and spoon, and the result appears in the photograph. A glass door on the dormitory is smashed, a thermostat is ripped from the wall, a desk Is destroyed, a piece of College equipment is stolen - the list goes on and on, and the costs go up and up. While I am concerned about those costs - and I would guess that they are sizable when looked at over a year's time - I am also just as concerned about the attitude that leads to such acts of vandalism. In this respect, the problem is not only here at Wilkes, not just on college campuses. I suspect rather that many businesses face this problem in terms of employees, customers, and others not even related to the organization. It seems that property which cannot be Identified as beIng owned by a single individual becomes target for acts of destruction. Behind them all is the rationale that "it doesn't hurt anyone - the business will replace it. " Locally it might sound like "it doesn't' belong to anyone - it . belongs to the College." What foolish thinking! There is no such thing as " the College." The College exists only on paper in the form of its charter and the recordings of the events that take place here. The College really is people you and I who are here now and thousands who have been here over the past years. And when an act of vandalism occur!', it occurs to you and me: consequently, the costs are borne by you and me, and not by the College. obvious and •granted. But let us not overlook the thousands and thousands of our dollars are paid out each year with no constructive benefits being realized from the expenditure. The dollars spent do not result in additional equipment on campus, or more books ln the Library, or higher Faculty salaries to attract more qualified teachers ; they are wasted because all they do is replace, and repair, and restore what was. Just imagine what could be done with those resources · both dollars and man-hours - if they could be redirected. I am not especially happy that I had to contribute my share of the 75 cents required to replace the fork and spoon pictured above. The fact that each of us in the Community · (some 3,000 of us considering students, Faculty, Administrators, staff, maintenance, and food service) just spent $0.00025 with no realizable benefit should please no one, especially when thought of in terms of the total cost of all vandalism on campus. Given the choice, let my money go to support art rather than irresponsibility. Richard G. Raspen Wednesday is the next unique performance to be given by this versatile and acclaimed ensemble. Chestnut Brass Ensemble Will Perform l\pril·9th The Concert and Lecture Series is once again bringing a unique style of talent to the stage of the Center for the Performing Arts. The Chestnut Brass Company, a versatile and acclaimed ensemble, will perform on Wednesdy, April 9th at 8 p.m. The Chestnut Brass Company is a vibrant young ensemble that can play almost anything almost anywhere. The versatile quintet has a repertoire ranging from the traditional music for brass instruments to avant garde twentieth century works to jazz, rags, popular and even movie music. The Company had their beginnings as street musicians in Philadelphia. While still students, they played for lunchtime crowds on.the busy streets, often giving the informal audience full length performances of major baroque and contemporary works. All members in the group were educated at fine conservatories and music schools, including the University of Illinois, the East~an !¼:hool, Temple University, Philadephia Academy, Northwestern Universities and others. The ensemble has developed a remarkable popular appeal through their performances of vintage American Civil War compositions, Joplin rags, and jazz arrangements. Audience response is usually enthusiastic whether they are presenting an unusual style new suite by a contemporary classical composer or their arrangements of popular themes and blues. The diverse Chestnut .Brass features a large collection of instruments which accompany its multifaceted repertoire. Ancient and antique instruments belonging to the group include an alto sackbut, Renaissance cronettos, a double belled euphonium, and an over-the-shoulder horn. This impressive variety of instruments enables the ensemble to perform in the most authentic manner possible. They restore old brasses for their performances and they are the only active brass quintet in the world using multiple sets of instruments from different historivcal periods. The Philadelphia Inquirer said of . a recent performance, "the most demanding item was the Handel aria from his quintet for oboes, horns, and bassoon ; the group played it fluently and movingly." The performance is free of charge. -----EVER CONSIDER--. REAL ESTATE?

I thought it would. be the same old boring stuff that Ronstadt has become famous for. Ronstadt, I always felt, W8$ more country than rock. · Things have really changed for Jerry Brown's girlfriend. On her latest album are featured three songs penned by Elvis Costello and two by Mark Goldburg. Gone are the past sounds of country ballads and sickly sweet pop. Ronstadt's sound is definitely high-energy ...She proves that she can rock with the best of them. With the release of this new album, Ronstadt's ace guitarist Waddy Wechtel is noticeably missing. His country-flavored guitar has been replaced by Doug Kretchmer and Mark Golburg, two top-flight new wave musicians. Ronstadt's vocals shine through on the single " How Do I Make You" and the title track. Costello's songs, especially, Girl Talk are handled marvelously. Although Ronstadt lacks the intensity of Costello, her vocals more than compensate for the lack of "new wave anger." This album is by far Ronstadt's most ambitious work. It is to her credit that she has changed with the times. Sales indicate that the record buying public is satisfied with Ronstadt's new style. It looks like Jerry Brown has finally come up with a winner in his comer. ... h • { ·'",.~•-;·,:·., ••• 1r• IIO ······· C!. •,..i ·, , , ,;::; . ····· ~ ···./- -... j .

Covered live by WBRE-TV, the candidates included Richard P. Adams of Kingston, Rep. Raphael Musto of Pittston, James Nelligan of Forty Fort, Atty. Frank Harrison of Wilkes-Barre, Atty. Paul E. Kanjorski of Nanticoke and Edward Mitchell of Kingston. Moderator for the debate was Monsignor Andrew McGowan of St. Pius X Seminary, while a four member questioning panel was comprised of Keith . Martin of WBRE-TV, Larry Saudor of WPGM Radio, Robert Faucett of the "Bloomsburg Dispat~," and William Lewis, a senior Political Science major at Wilkes College. During the debate which lasted from 7:30 to 9:00 , each candidate rendered an opening statement, answered approximately IO questions asked by the panel, and concluded with a brief closing statement concerning . their possible election to the congressionar seat. Bob Faucett opened the questioning by asking the candidates whom they would support for President of the United States. Nelligan stated that he would support Ronald Reag~, Mitcliell said that he endourses Ted Kennedy at the moment, while Adams and Kanjorski leaned toward the re-election of President Carter. Frank Harrison, making no firm commitment, said that he would support the democratic nomination whomever he may be. The only candidate making no comment on the matter was Raphael Musto, who replied that it was unfair to express an opinion at the present time. One issue which all six candidates agreed upon was the "prolife" vs "pro-choice" movement. Everyone of the congressional hopefuls confidently said that he was opposed to abortion and the funding of abortions with public money. In discussing the possible opening of the nuclear power plant in Berwick and nuclear power in general, Richard Adams was the only candidate to totally support nuclear power, while Edward Mitchell was the only one to all out oppose it. The other four candidates took a "middle of the road" view by stating either that we should use the present plants we have but stop future construction of them, or we should have federal inspectors constantly stationed at nuclear plants to insure our safety before we allow their opening. Waste disposal and the possible conversion of nuclear to coal or solar plants were two issues Notice Anyone wishing to volunteer their services in preparing for the March of Dimes Saperwalk scheduled for April ZO, 1980, sponsored by the Wilkes College Haman Services CommiUee may do so by contacting Steve Demko, 8%5-5&, ext. 485, or Lynn Patterson, 829-91142, ext. 400. Recraiten are needed to visit local higb schools, and walking mar1halls and a set-up crew are needed for the day of the walk. discussed by all six candidates in answering this question. When asked whether they support or oppose the draft, most of the candidates favored draft registration although some were opposed to a peace time draft. Richard Adams made one of the most shocking statements of the night when he said that he is opposed to the draft at the moment, but if it is necessary, he feels it should be for both men and women. James Nelligan stated that he supports draft registration and the draft, and pointed out that our country is weak today because we have not had a draft in seven years. · An interesting thing to note is that during the whole debate, only once did the wrong doings of former Congressman Daniel J. Flood enter into a discussion. This moment came about when Paul Kanjorski was asked what he hopes to accomplish in Washington as congressman. Kanjorski hinted at Flood's criminal involvement by replying that he hopes to bring a bit of honesty to Northeastern Pennsylvania. He continued that he wants to use his influence to solve the problems facing the district. An issue of great importance to almost every s.tudent on campus was brought into discussion by William Lewis when he asked the candidates their opinions concern- ing future funding for students. Out of all the candidates, James Nelligan was the only one who said that he would cut down on educational spending in favor of national defense and balancing the budget. . At the other extreme, Paul Kanjorski stated that education is a top priority of his and that he will not cut from this area to balance a budget. While Mitchell and Musto said that they would support the highest level of education possible without having the budget suffer, Harrison and Adams stressed that they favor Joans as opposed to grants because they feel the federal government "should not have to pay for every student's education. After fielding questions concerning the Iranian hostage situation and the probability of organized crime in the area, each candidate made a closing statement which ranged from James Nelligan's wish to be a "spoke in a wheel for change" to Paul Kanjorski stressing, "I would like to take to Congress a new image." Monsignor McGowan concluded the debate by saying that although he was not sure this was the best way to choose a candidate, he was sure that "we can make a judgement if we only vote." Because of increasing apathy, he considered this the most important thing of all. Peter Steve WCLH VS. WRKC IN A BF,:NEFIT BASKETBALL GAME.

The weekend will start off with an opening ceremony at 4:00 p.m. on Friday April 25th on the Chase Hall lawn. This ceremony will be mainly for the teams which will compete in sport events over the weekend. After the ceremony the action will move to Raison field where there will be sack races, three-legged races and egg races. At the end of these there will be a Nerd party in the gym sponsored by Weiss Hall, Dennison Hall, Parties Unlimited and the Cherry Blossom Festival Commitee.

There will be approximately 70 participants in the program and selected works to be performed in.elude: Be-thoven's "Coriolan Over-· ture," Hayden's "Lord Nelson .Mass," and Tchaikovsky's "Symphony No. 4 in F-minor." Featured performers for the concert are Helen Ralston, Eugene Kelleher and Gretchen and John d-Armand. Mrs. Raiston, Dean George Ralston's wife, has participated in many choral events and is also a member of the Master Works Chorale. Eugene Kelleher is an alumnus of the college and has also taken an active part in choral activities at the college. Gretchen and John d-Armonde are both faculty members of the University of Massachusetts. Mrs. d-Armand has performed with major symphony orchestras throughout the United States and sung in the most music festivals and won the National Metropolitan Opera Award. Mr. d-Armand has sung with the Robert Shaw Chorale for nine seasons and appeared with many major orchestras on the East Coast and in the Mid-West. Dr. Anderson feels that the timing of the event is excellent, "April 13th is Visitation Day and parents and prospective students will be able to hear the college choir at .its best." The decision to hold the concert at St. Stephen's is also a significant one in Anderson's mind, "By holding the concert off campus, at St. Stephen's, we are reaching out to the community. The presentation is not only for the college but is significant to the community. It is part of the music department's plan to obtain a closer contact wHh the greater Wilkes-Barre Area."

Nk -- - �April 3, 1980, The Beacon, Page 9 Alpha Campaign Report--------------------=.--------~-~---------- ----- ---- ----- Goal For 1980 Scholar:s ~IP ,D riVe Exceeded "Talent opens the doors of Wilkes College, not the ability to pay." Thus begins the main gist of the 1980 Annual Campaign, which is the third and final year of the Alpha Campaign. Called the Scholarship Year because an effort is put forth towards scholarship support, it runs concurrently with the Alpha Campaign. In fact, the last two and three year phases of the Alpha Campaign are mainly for maintaining scholarships. Dean of External Affairs, Thomas Kelly, announced that the goal set for the three year Alpha Campaign was $2.4 million, with the . goal for 1980 being $200,000. He stated that the total amount reported was $235,000, exceeding the goal by $35,000. To date, the total amount reported for the three year Alpha Campaign is $2.33 million, with $70,000 left to be raised between now and December. " I anticipate that we will be able to raise the money by mid-summe-, which means we will attain our goal six months ahead of schedule, " remarked Dean Kelly. According to Dean Kelly, there are four phases of the campaign. The first is the amount of dollars raised from the community, such as businesses, friends and alumni who were solicited by volunteers. The second phase is the Alumni Phon-A-Thon which was conducted in March from the Alumni House. Alumni and students did the calling, making vital contact with the alumni which made for good alumni relations. " It's more than fundraising, it's friendraising," commented Dean Kelly. A third area where the money comes from is the foundations and corporations; and the last one is from the Wilkes College Family -- faculty, administrations, staff, and trustees. The community phase, which was headed by James Aikman, Development Office, involved a work force of about 170 volunteer friends and alumni who solicited about 1,000 prospects. These 170 volunteers were divided into groups including a chairman, vice chairman, 7 division leaders, captains, and workers. Of the seven division leaders, three were parents of Wilkes students and three were alumni. Aikman feels that this speaks well for the support we get out of people who have an affiliation with Wilkes. "These are faithful servants, dedicated people who have faith in and want to help Wilkes, " he commented. Four students - Bill Lewis, Paul Kerrigan, Ellen Batey Behlike, and Stephen Croghan - were fea tured to let the workers " see the products of the college." Mr . Aikman stated there are six categories where monies come from . The six, and the approximate amount of money ~eceived from them are as follows : 1. Community (Work Force ) $50,000 2. "Silver Colonels" (selected trustees> 32,000 3. Alumni Phon-A-Thon 26,000 4. Trusts & Bequests 50,000 5. Memorial Scholarships 46,000 6. Foundation for Independent Colleges of Pennsylvania 30,000 When asked to comment on the campaign overall, Dean Kelly replied, "For many years, friends and alumni at Wilkes have given of themselves to assist Wilkes in its services to the students and Northeastern Pennsylvania. 1980 is no exception. I think it particulary noteworthy that these friends and alumni supported the college to the extent of exceeding the $200,000 goal by $35,000. 1980 is unusual because of current inflationary rates, the general economy, and energy concerns. Many major donors made three-year pledges to the Alpha Campaign in 1977, and are currently paying those pledges. Our friends and alumni again made a commitment to Wilkes in 1980 as evidenced by our campaign result." Aikman responded, "The 1980 Annual Campaign is unique in that it requires the highly dedicated effort on the part of the work force in soliciting prospects. · 1980 represents the third year of the three-year Alpha Campaign and as such the Development Office spent considerable amount of effort in matching each donor with the proper solicitor. This was particularly important in the 1980 campaign, because we had to maximize each donor's contribution. Overall, the work force came through with an outstanding effort and was totally dedicated to the job of helping Wilkes College."

Science Club Aims To Saa,e Energy For the 1980-81 fall semester, the Guidance and Placement office will have energy conservation screens installed on all windows by the Environmental Science Club as a club project. The screens are constructed of very thick fering strips with extraduty plastic stretched over them . The screens are an attempt to reduce heat loss from building. The club intends to monitor the heating bills for the building during the year and then compare them to bills in the past years. When asked why the club picked this particular project to do, Bill Petrick, project coordinator, stated that the club wanted "to do something to conserve energy. The project has something to do with the environment as well." Petrick said that the club's- advisor, Dr. Mike Case, gave them the idea at the beginning of the year and everyone agreed to do it. He continued that the actual construction of the screens is going great, since the project was started this past August. The project coordinator also stated that if the energy screens work out, it is possible that the school will have the same procedure done to other buildings. He further mentioned that no dorms were chosen for the project because of the height of most of the buildings. It seems that the Guidance and Placement office was the safest and the most practical for the project according to Petrick. Petrick concluded by saying that he is very optomistic that the project will be a success as well as beneficial to the college.

It was the season opener for the stickmen of rookie Coaches Brian Blesi and Bill Harris. Senior Mark Sanders, West Islip, N.Y. was the "hero of the week" with two goals and one assist. The co-captain also played a tough defensive game from his mid-field position. Tommy Heller, the senior from Carle Place, N.Y. was responsible for "breaking the ice" as he found the range first with his goal ten minutes into the game. Also hitting the nets for the Blue and Gold were Rich Modica and Glenn Pohorely. Modica, the big man on the squad is a sophomore from PP.linview, N.Y. Pohorely, a sophomore from Whitehouse Station, N.Y. was assisted on his tally, by the oppos- MAC Golfers Open The Wilkes College golf team will enter the 1980 campaign as defending Middle Atlantic Conference champiQns. Last season Coach Rollie Schmidt's team was 8-3. But defending that championship will not be easy since three of the four top golfers from last year are gone (Mark Alansky, Francis Hayes, and Joe Skladanyl. The fourth, Mark Lepore is the only returning golfer from last year and will be the captain in 1980. Coach Schmidt calls Lepore a " good golfer who is very consistent." Lepore placed seventh in last year's MAC tourney. He and Schmidt are hopeful that Lepore will do better in this year's tourney. Other golfers returning from last year's squad are Karl Blight, Jim Fialko and Joe Rubbico. Top freshmen include Ray Ward, out of Nanticoke Area ; John Guyler of Meyers ; Chris Grimes ; and Alex Apaliski. new upperclassmen are Chris Reilly, Dave Samsel, and Frank Gardner. According to Schmidt "We have only one returning veteran and we are going to find out who are top golfers as the season progresses. Our first meet is Wednesday. This is the first time we are golfing this year and it is away, like our next four meets." Coach Schmidt concluded, "We hope to do our best in the duals and hope to find out who our top four golfers are when the MAC's roll around." All home meets are at the Irem Temple Country Club in Dallas. Seven players participate for each team with the five lowest counted towards the team score. Four players will take part in the MAC's. The first meet was slated for yesterday and the Colonels will meet Haverford on April 4 and King's on April 7. GOOD LUCK COLONELS! Rich Nordheim ing goalie. Nevertheless, it was the winning goal for Wilkes. Coach Blesi said, "There was at least six inches of mud on the field and three inches of water on top of that". The Colonels probably fit right into that atmosphere since their lacrosse "CAMP" was held under the same circumstances. Lacrosse players have to be considered a different breed of an athlete. Not only do they play on terrible fields, and terrible weather, but the game itself is brutal. If there are people who like seeing people get destroyed, hit with sticks, hit with balls travelling about 100 miles per hour, then you'll like lacrosse. Defensively, Wilkes was wellsupported by goal-keeper Dave Singer of Fairlawn, N:J . The sophomore goal-tender recorded 17 saves against the Widener team. The Pohorely's, Glenn and Gregg · both contributed adequate efforts in the defense also. John Nordstrom, a sophomore from Whitehouse Station is now a part of the " bruisers" on the basis of his performance Saturday. Joe Burnett, a senior from Binghamton, N.Y. and Billy Adams, of Bethpage, N.Y. played steady games according to Blesi. The Blue and Gold was expected to play Dickinson College yesterday and chalk up another victory. Last annum Wilkes handed the Carlisle squad a 17-6 setback and the Colonels should have dumped them again. But Friday beings on a tough contest when Wilkes travels to tangle with Bucknell University under the lights at 7:30 p.m. at Lewisburg. Last season Wilkes played well but dropped a 17-8 verdict. Blesi will send Adams, Modica, heller, Steve DeGiso and Eric Farber on the attack against the Bisons tomorrow. DeGiso, a transfer from Brockton, Mass. never played competitive lacrosse but will see a lot of action this spring. Burnett, Sanders and cocaptain Pete Canine are in charge of the mid-field duties with Nordstrom and Jeff Harper adding depth. Freshmen who are playing for the varsity are Tracy Cloth, John McCarthy, Alex Rae, Kevin Cavanaugh, Joe Bernhardt, Carl Schulteis, and Paul Supansky.

Next Week Between The White Lines by Eddie White We lost a great sports fan over a week ago with the passing of Mr. Elliot. He was not only a top educator, but also a great fan of Wilkes athletics. One could see him at any baseball game, wrestling match, basketball game or any Wilkes sporting event. He will be missed! We have to admit it, but Philadelphia 76ers center Darryl Dawkins has come a long way since he first entered the NBA-a few seasons ago. It seems only yesterday that the "Chocolate Thunder" was getting into fights and committing turnovers like crazy. He has matured into a fine center and one of the tops in the : 1gue. Although he is imporving, he will never reach the plateau of a Chamberlain, Jabbar or Russell. Rain washed out most or last weekend's spring sports season openers with the baseball and tennis teams getting their games postponed. But not the !across team. Lacrosse is like football - IT IS PLA YEO, no matter what. Ir the river was flowing over the banks, the !across game would still go on; nothing stops those guys. We were criticized last week for a comment that loacrosse is like "mugging." What we meant is, there is a lot of contact in lacrosse. Much more contact than in any. other sport. It is a b~tal sport, a tough sport and a fun sport to watch. The baseball team played Scranton Tuesday in a MAC doubleheader at Schautz Stadium in Dunmore. Because of Saturday's rain, the twinbill with the Royals opened the 1980 campaign. Last time the two schools met, Scranton swept Wilkes in a doubleheader and it was the first time in history that any team had done that to the Colonels. There is great rivalry between the Scranton and Wilkes baseball teal))s, but it is a friendly one, which makes it the best kind. We've heard rumor talk of lawsuits in reference to the Wilkes-Scranton basketbrawl. This is crazy. Things have finally settled down and it is over. Let it die! If one party tries any legal jazz, it will bring back the whole ugly mess again and could really set Wilkes basketball back a few years. Fights do happen in all of sports and one can say it is a part of the game. But it is the risk you taken when you walk on that court or field . And how can ·anyone place blame on the Wilkes-Scranton experience. Both teams were to blame and so were both officials. No one was innocent in that brawl! Super Sight: Saw Meyers' great wrestling star Jay Patterson chatting with top Colonel grappler Bryan Billig in, of all places - the Wilkes Library. If Coach John Reese could get Patterson to stay in Wilkes-Barre, Colonel grappling fans are in for a treat. Patterson is considered as one of the finest wrestlers in Pennsylvania state history. · The PIAA, which governs high school sports in pennsylvania recently made an announcement that anyone can coach in the high schools. Any person, no matter what his education or occupation can coach high school teams in all sports. There has been much discussion about this issue, but we agree. Some baker or banker could well be a better-coach than some of the mentors in the local high school circuit. Wyoming Valley's "number one" sports fan award should go to Barney Banas of North End. Barney sees more sporting events in one year tha n most people do in a lifetime. Barney, by the way, says to look out for the Detroit Tigers in the American League this year. Great sports photo on the first page of the sports section of last week's SUNDAY INDEPENDENT. It showed Philadelphia Phillies slugger Greg Luzinski chatting with yankee hotdog Reggie Jackson. Both were discussing how wearing glasses will help a hitter. Reggie better do something, be has yet to hit .300 for a season. it was great photo though, showing the best player in the National League and the worst in the American League. Ran into a few local sports experts and asked their opinion of who will win the World Series· this year. Jlere are some answers : Matt Engle, Phillies; Ron Olshemski, Orioles; Joe Amendola, Yanks; Bob Waskiewicz, Yanks; Neil Corbett, Mets ; Mickey Banas, Mets ; Pete Baran, Dodgers; Mike Pawlush, Yanks; Tom Kosin, Mariners ; Mark Sovyrda, Padres; Joe Wilk, Pirates; and Ken Pascoe who says look out for nanticoke. Ron Righter had an interesting call a week ago. it was his old college coach and now head man with the L.A. Lakers, Jack McKinney, McKinney invited Righter to a banquet honoring the former St. Joe mentor, but Righter could not make it because he was playing in a basketball league. THE BEACON is looking for sports writers (male and female) for next year. Anyone interested is asked to contact the Beacon office and ask for Eddie White or Pete Steve. No experience is necessary and the staff will train you. Scranton University's women's basketball team finished No. 3 in the nation in Division III in the recent championships. They were honored when they returned home by Scranton officials. Only a few years ago, the men's team at "Duh U" won the national championship in Division III. The success of their teams shows what can happen when the people that count, care about athletics and don't treat it as second-rate. This is our last year on the BEACON sports staff and if we could have one wish, .i t would be for the Wilkes College men's basketball team to get new home uniforms next year. The so-called "white" ones worn this year are like a grey-blue. Thank heavens when the team is on TV, they wear the away blue uniforms. It's a shame if they don't get new uniforms. Can't believe the King's College school newspaper sports editor hammered Monarch baseball coach John Dorish in a recent column. Dorish is a class guy and a good coach. The King's scribe should take a course jn sports writing. Did you know that Pat Kennedy, who took over the Iona head coaching job when Jim Valvanno went to the North Carolina State, is a former student and asst. coach at King's. Both Iona and the Wolfpack are slated for a toiJrney next year at Madison Square Garden. Should be a dandy! ,.. �... ..
